Gaston Samut: France does not respect human rights

France, which is widely perceived as a country that respects human rights, in fact does not, Gaston Samut, a representative of the Popular Union for the Liberation of Guadeloupe, told a press conference.

He emphasized that at the moment many countries are waiting for international support: "These countries are actively cooperating with the countries of the Non-Aligned Movement to solve the problem of French colonialism. First of all, we ourselves must try to speed up this process on our own territories."

The international conference "Neo-colonialism: violation of human rights and injustice", organized by the Baku Initiative Group (BIG), opens in Baku on October 20.

Representatives from 14 countries, as well as the overseas territories of France and Corsica, will take part in it.

The Baku Initiative Group (BIG) was created on July 6, 2023, in Baku by participants in the conference "Complete Elimination of Colonialism" within the framework of the ministerial meeting of the Coordination Bureau of the Non-Aligned Movement presided by Azerbaijan.

BIG supports the struggle for freedom of peoples still suffering from colonization in the 21st century.
