THE LIBERIAN PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN:
ULAA COUNCIL OF EMINENT PERSONS, INC.
A Position Statement
By the ULAA Council of Eminent Persons (UCEP), Inc.
WE, the officers and members of the ULAA Council of Eminent Persons (UCEP), Inc., an organization consisting of founders, former presidents and chairmen of the Board of Directors of the Union of Liberian Associations in the Americas (ULAA), Inc., are very grateful to the Liberian people for their vigilance in the peaceful exercise of their democratic rights by using the ballot box in the settlement of constitutional matters of national interest such as the recent Referendum on a number of issues including the “residency clause” in our National Constitution.
MOREOVER, we are thankful to the administration of President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and the National Legislature for submitting these issues through a public referendum for a popular and peaceful settlement.
ALSO, we extend our sincere appreciation to the United Nations (UN), the African Union (AU), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the United States of America (USA), the European Union (EU), and other members of the international community for their unflinching support for the Liberian nation and its people during our national crises and through our recovery and rebuilding process.
IN ADDITION, we salute the National Elections Commission (NEC) for the able manner in which it conducted the Referendum by reporting factual counts of its results. Therefore, we urge the Commission to conclude its historical mission by announcing the names of the Presidential Candidates who are qualified to run in the pending election in accordance with all the requirements of the Liberian Constitution as maintained by the result of the August 23rd Referendum.
AND IN THIS REGARD, We call upon the Liberian Government including all of its component branches to respect the will of the people regarding this Referendum as law of the land; recognizing that our government is a democracy; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them. Since the people have spoken through the ballot box, their voices need no further interpretation..
FINALLY, we call on the United Nations (UN), the African Union (AU) the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the United States of America (USA), the European Union (EU), and the entire international community to support the rule of law in Liberia by lending their support the faithful execution of the laws of our land as supported by the August 23rd Referendum.
In union strong, success is sure!
Issued in the supreme interest of the Liberian people on this 7th day of September 2011,
in the City of Lawrenceville, Georgia, USA.
