Senator Woods Calls For “Internationalization” Of Belize Border Issues
posted (March 11, 2016)
And, speaking on the adjournment, Senator Valerie Woods called on government to internationalize the various border flare-ups with Guatemala, from Chiquibul to the Sarstoon:...

Hon. Valerie Woods, PUP Senator
"There should be no doubt that Belize has sovereignty over the Starstoon Island. And while the actions of the Belize territorial volunteers may not be supported by the government or by the many. Their efforts to vigorously raise public awareness to what is an alarming situation on the ground, should be recognized. It is not an easy situation, indeed its complex, it is sensitive but it is very serious. Perhaps it is indeed time for a rising chorus to build an effort for an internationalization of this issue."

Hon. Godwin Hulse, UDP Senator
"There's a path which has been outlined both on the opposition side and the government side some time ago, to look at a final mechanism to settle this and I think we have to advance towards that in a sober, clear, dedicated, unequivocal manner."

The senate meeting only last 67 minutes - one of the shortest in memory.
