Côte d’Ivoire / UNOCI calls for calm management of the electoral appeals
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast, August 24, 2010/African Press Organization (APO)/ — The United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire (UNOCI) notes an increase in verbal tension and physical clashes as the legal phase of the appeals process progresses. This atmosphere, should it persist, could compromise the progress already achieved in the conduct of the electoral process.
UNOCI launches an urgent appeal for a return to calm and serenity with a view to maintaining and consolidating a peaceful electoral environment.
In the same spirit, UNOCI encourages the competent authorities, political actors and populations to strictly apply and respect the law.
