Suspended Mp Buncamper Shine Some Light On His Case

On June 3rd 2022, I presented a compelling and detailed analysis to the Parliament of Sint Maarten identifying how article 50 sub 2b of our Constitution has proven to be in violation of International Treaties and specifically Human Rights of a higher order, to which Sint Maarten is bound.

Safeguarding the rights and obligations granted to countries bound to treaties is the responsibility of the Parliament of Sint Maarten as this countries legislative body, tasked with creating and amending the laws of this nation Read more
