Last night at the Bliss Centre for the Performing Arts, the OAS held a public forum where they outlined the state of the unfounded Guatemalan claim and the repeated attempts at resolving it through negotiation. That information session was broadcast on national television, and right here on Channel 7, but in case you missed it, we pulled a few excerpts to share with you.

Here's the Chief of the OAS Peace Fund explaining why we must go to a referendum to decide whether or not to take the territorial claim to the International Court of Justice:

The Foreign Ministers of both countries were also guest speakers at last night's session, and they took the opportunity to reiterate that friendly relations continue. Elrington also talked about why he has changed from rioting against Guatemala that he did when he was a young man, to the present day conviction that going to the ICJ is the best option Belize has to resolve the territorial claim:

As you heard, the Guatemalan Foreign Minister was the victim of hecklers who refused to accept his assertion that his people are friends to Belizeans. During the course of the Forum, police had to eject a number of them from the audience for heckling.
