BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 13. French Polynesia
and New Caledonia have been recognized as non-self-governing
territories by the United Nations since 1946-1947. However, their
decolonization process is still delayed, said President Ilham
Aliyev during his speech at the Leaders' Summit of the Small Islands
Developing States on Climate Change held on November 13 as part of
COP29, Trend
reports.
“French Polynesia faced serious environmental degradation due to
193 nuclear tests conducted by France. France is responsible for
severe soil and water contamination and radiation there. If we add
the 17 nuclear tests conducted by France in Algeria during the
years of occupation, we will see what damage this country made to
the ecosystem of the planet,” the President noted.
President Ilham Aliyev highlighted incidents of human rights
violations by France in overseas territories, pointing out that
during protests in New Caledonia, numerous citizens were killed and
injured by the Macron regime.
