Aruba, Curaçao, and St. Maarten oppose new Dutch laws on BES islands, demanding autonomy and rejecting a reinstated Kingdom Representative role.
Aruba, Curaçao, and St. Maarten have formally opposed new Dutch laws affecting the BES islands, urging the Netherlands to uphold self-determination and island autonomy.
They rejected the reinstatement of the Kingdom Representative role, criticizing the Dutch government’s refusal to adopt their proposed dispute settlement mechanism, despite its basis in the 2010 Kingdom Charter.
The Dutch government dismissed the proposal, citing feasibility concerns, and advanced a previously rejected draft instead, sparking accusations of a colonial approach and undermining trust in Kingdom-wide dialogue.
