UN names Girvan as Good Officer in Guyana/Venezuela border issue

Professor Norman Girvan, who is widely respected in international affairs, has been appointed by the United Nations (UN) as the Special Representative in the Guyana/Venezuela border controversy.
The Office of the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon on Monday informed Foreign Affairs Minister Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett of the appointment. Professor Girvan assumes the role of Good Officer almost two years after the post was left vacant due to the passing of Oliver Jackman in 2007. Jackman had served as the Personal Representative from October 1999 to January 2007. “The Government of Guyana welcomes the appointment of Professor Girvan which would now enable Guyana and Venezuela to resuscitate discussions under the Good Offices process of the United Nations Secretary General on a means of settlement of the controversy,” a statement from the Foreign Affairs ministry said yesterday.
Professor Girvan will assist Guyana and Venezuela in the search for a practical settlement of the controversy that emerged from the Venezuelan contention that the Arbitral Award of October 3, 1899 is null and void, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said yesterday. That Award definitively established the territorial boundary between Guyana and Venezuela.
It was last year that Guyana and Venezuela sought the resuscitation of the Good Offices Process through the appointment of a Personal Representative when the foreign ministers of both countries met with the UN Secretary General at his office in New York in October 2009. According to the Foreign Ministry here, the New York meeting was agreed on in July 2009 when Minister Rodrigues was on an official visit to Caracas. “The announcement of the appointment of Professor Girvan is an outcome of that meeting,” the ministry said.
The ministry’s statement also referred to Professor Girvan’s background, saying he is an internationally renowned Caribbean economist, academic and international civil servant, who brings valuable experience to the post. Professor Girvan had previously served as a former Secretary General of the Association of Caribbean States.
Nota del editor del blog: Al referenciarse a la República Cooperativa de Guyana se deben de tener en cuenta los 159.500Km2, de territorios ubicados al oeste del río Esequibo conocidos con el nombre de Guayana Esequiba o Zona en Reclamación sujetos al Acuerdo de Ginebra del 17 de febrero de 1966.
Territorios estos sobre los cuales el gobierno Venezolano en representación de la Nación venezolana se reservo sus derechos sobre los territorios de la Guayana Esequiba en su nota del 26 de mayo de 1966 al reconocerse al nuevo Estado de Guyana .
“...por lo tanto, Venezuela reconoce como territorio del nuevo Estado, el que se sitúa al este de la margen derecha del río Esequibo y reitera ante la comunidad internacional, que se reserva expresamente sus derechos de soberanía territorial sobre la zona que se encuentra en la margen izquierda del precitado río; en consecuencia, el territorio de la Guayana Esequiba sobre el cual Venezuela se reserva expresamente sus derechos soberanos, limita al Este con el nuevo Estado de Guyana, a través de la línea del río Esequibo, tomando éste desde su nacimiento hasta su desembocadura en el Océano Atlántico...”
