Imphal, October 09 2012:
The Centre for Organisation Research and Education (CORE) has appreciated the agreement reached between the NSCN-K and Zeliangrong civil organisations that included protection of civilians including leaders of civil organisations from torture and harassment.
While condoling the death of Chunthuigai Kamei, a CORE statement recognised the implication of such agreement that avows the protection of civilians in the situation of non-international armed conflict prevailing in Manipur.
CORE further encouraged the GPRN/NSCN to extend the scope of such agreement, through unilateral declaration, to other areas of Manipur and NE region of India as well as neighbouring countries wherever the outfit is in operation.
It added that such declaration would constructively contribute to the long term resolution of armed hostilities relating to the indigenous peoples' struggle for self-determination in the region.
