Published: 30 May 2021 PHILIPSBURG:--- Member of Parliament George Pantophlet says that the United Nations General Assembly met some 65 years ago in several sessions. The discussions related to whether the Netherlands were permitted to cease providing information under Article 73 e of the charter of the United Nations. According to the Member of Parliament, what was also highly disputed during those meetings were the Kingdom Charter and specifically its effects on the then territories of Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles. The countries, though having the same documents in hand still came up with different interpretations. While some countries such as Brazil and the United States to name a few saw the Kingdom Charter as a document that entails the mechanisms for full self-internal governance and was convinced then that the documentation submitted by the Netherlands Government (Dutch) made it quite clear that the two Caribbean countries enjoyed full autonomy, others saw it as too much influence of the Netherlands in the internal affairs of the countries.
