EU Presidency Declaration on events in Duékoué, Côte d'Ivoire

Summary: June 7, 2005: Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union on events in Duékoué, Côte d'Ivoire (Brussels)

The European Union has noted with consternation the tragic events in Duékoué. It offers its condolences to the victims' families and resolutely condemns those acts of violence.

The European Union calls on all parties to the conflict to respect and enforce the zone of confidence and to launch an investigation in order to identify and prosecute those responsible. It urges all political forces to remain calm in order to ensure that such acts are not repeated and to allow for the disarmament and demobilisation of all militias and the rest of the military forces concurrently throughout the country, in accordance with the Yamoussoukro Agreement signed by the Forces Armées des Forces Nouvelles (FAFN) and the Forces Armées Nationales de la Côte d'Ivoire (FANCI) on 14 May 2005.
