The interests of the inhabitants of these territories are paramount
To accept as sacred trust the obligation to promote to the utmost the well-being of the inhabitants
To ensure their political, economic, social, and educational advancement, their just treatment, and their protection against abuses,
To develop self-government and provide assistance with their progressive development of their free political institutions,
To promote constructive measures of development.
So if our interests were paramount during all these 75 years, why did not the Dutch government promote to the utmost our wellbeing on an equal footing as the citizens in the Netherlands?
Why did not they ensure our political, economic, social and education advancement to achieve the same human development index as in the Netherlands and especially since they ratified 41 years ago the International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights?
How constructive were the measures of development they took the last 10 years since Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba became a special municipality of the Netherlands? The social situation is still one of poverty for the majority of the households, one of a gap between the households in the Netherlands and in the special municipalities.
