Independent In-depth Paragraph by Paragraph Analysis of the Implications of the Annan Plan

Foundation Agreement

Article 13 Entry into force and implementation

3. Upon entry into force of this Agreement, the Co-Presidents shall inform the United Nations that henceforth the membership rights and obligations of Cyprus in the United Nations shall be exercised in accordance with the new state of affairs. The agreed flag of Cyprus shall be raised at United Nations Headquarters.

Comments

As explained earlier a co-presidency will be completely dysfunctional and unworkable. It will prevent Cyprus from maintaining its EU obligations and will cause resentment in the overwhelming majority of the people of Cyprus. It therefore cannot be condoned if this agreement is to be either fair, just, viable or workable.
