昨年、2011年9月FSMのピータークリスチャン議員が、米国との自由連合協定終了を大統領に要望した内容。
SEVENTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA
SECOND REGULAR SESSION, 2011 C.R. NO. 17-61
A RESOLUTION
Requesting the President of the Federated States of Micronesia to
terminate the Amended Compact of Free Association with the United
States of America, pursuant to section 441 of the Amended Compact,
such termination to take effect no later than 2018.
1 WHEREAS, the Amended Compact of Free Association was entered
2 into by the Federated States of Micronesia and the United States
3 of America with the intent of maintaining a close and mutually
4 beneficial relationship between our two nations; and
5 WHEREAS, the United States derives many benefits from the
6 Amended Compact, not least of which is its exclusive control
7 over the military use of our extensive territorial waters and
8 airspace; and
9 WHEREAS, the recent words and deeds of United States
10 policymakers suggest they view the Amended Compact as an act of
11 charity by the United States rather than a treaty between two
12 sovereign nations; and
13 WHEREAS, the United States has abused its majority on the
14 US-FSM Joint Economic Management Committee (JEMCO) to force
15 through resolutions contrary to the interests of the Federated
16 States of Micronesia; and
17 WHEREAS, most recently, the United States members of JEMCO
18 have unilaterally made drastic cuts to the funding of the
19 College of Micronesia-FSM without prior discussion or
20 consultation with FSM leaders; and
C.R. NO. 17-61
2 of 2
1 WHEREAS, the United States Senate Committee on
2 Appropriations has recently recommended that the United States
3 Department of Homeland Security consider establishing a pre4
screening process and requiring advanced permission for
5 prospective travelers from the Federated States of Micronesia
6 and other Freely Associated States to enter the United States;
7 and
8 WHEREAS, such a procedure violates the non-immigrant and
9 visa-free status of travelers from the Federated States of
10 Micronesia and places FSM citizens among “terrorist factions”;
11 now, therefore,
12 BE IT RESOLVED that the Seventeenth Congress of the
13 Federated States of Micronesia, Second Regular Session, 2011,
14 requests that the President of the Federated States of
15 Micronesia terminate the Amended Compact of Free Association
16 with the United States of America, pursuant to section 441 of
17 the Amended Compact, such termination to take effect no later
18 than 2018; and
19 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this
20 resolution be transmitted to the President of the Federated
21 States of Micronesia.
