Jean-Pierre noted that the International Decolonization Front was also formed in Baku:
"The instruments we have acquired allow us to fight colonialism. We believe that the UN can also be our partner in this matter. The relevant UN resolutions recommend increasing efforts to eliminate colonialism. We must support this.
The work done by the BIG should be an example for non-governmental organizations around the world. We must start international mediation. We demand the support of the UN Decolonization Committee in combating colonialism. We must work for a more just world."
