recognizing “INTEGRATION, FLAG AND CONSTITUTION’ as the inalienable right of the Naga people.

Sir,

I. the undersigned herein, on behalf of all the Tangkhul Naga commur ‘ty. are hereby once again obliged to make this urgent appeal for early conclusion o t e Indo-Naga Peace Dialogue within the bilateral principles of the 3° August Indo-Na_a Framework Agreement recognizing “INTEGRATION, FLAG AND CONSTITUTION” as. the inalienable right of the Naga people.

I hereby at the outset reaffirm the Camp-Hebron Resolution — 2005 in fu | reendorsement of the mandate given to the National Socialist Council of “aga im (NSCN-IM) to negotiate with the Government of India on behalf of the Naga peop e to resolve the Indo-Naga international armed conflict on the basis of the historical rights of the Naga nation and likewise, I hereby further reiterate our collective 3™ August Indo-Naga Framework Agreement. 2015 signed between
the Government of India and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) and the bilateral principles of “Shared Sovereignty” and “co-existence of two entities’ as agreed thereupon.

May it be reminded that your government has made a promise to resolve the Indo-Naga political issue within 18 months to “mark not merely the end of a problem, but the beginning of a new future”.

May it also be reaffirmed herein that historically, the Nagas were never part of India or Burma (Myanmar), having never executed any document of accession or merger agreement with either of the two nations, and more so as Article 1 of the UN Charter calls on all nations to have “respect for the principle of equal rights and self determination of peoples” and the common Article 1of the International Covenant  on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). 1966 and the International Covenant  on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). 1966 ensures that “All people's have the right to self-determination. ”

Therefore, I the undersigned herein, on behalf of all the Tangkhul Naga community. is hereby once again obliged to make this crucial appeal as hereunder:
1. Early conclusion of the Indo-Naga Peace Dialogue within the bilateral principles of the 3 August Indo-Naga Framework Agreement recognizing “INTEGRATION. FLAG AND CONSTITUTION” as the inalienable right of the Naga people: and

2. In the meantime, no form of “separate administration” shall be imposed on any of the districts or areas under the jurisdiction of Tangkhul Naga Long.

Respectfully,
David K Shimray
President, TNL
