In light of the joint Declaration by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the African Union (AU), and the United Nations (UN) regarding the political situation in the Islamic Republic of the Gambia, it is crucial to honor and enforce the commitments laid out in the 14-point agreement. This declaration embodies a collective effort to uphold fundamental human rights and political stability within the Gambia, especially concerning the matter of former President Yahya Jammeh's rights.

The agreement clearly states that ECOWAS, the AU, and the UN will collaborate with the Gambian government to ensure former President Jammeh is accorded his rightful liberty to return to the Gambia at any time of his choosing. This right is in strict accordance with international human rights law and recognizes his status as a citizen of the Gambia and a former head of state. It is imperative that this agreement is respected and implemented effectively, as it forms a vital part of maintaining peace and upholding democracy within the region.

Denial of these rights not only undermines the framework of international diplomacy but also the very principles of justice and human dignity that international bodies stand for. It is important that ECOWAS, the AU, and the UN take tangible actions to ensure that the Gambian government honors this commitment. Failure to enforce such agreements can lead to instability and a lack of trust in international agreements, ultimately impeding regional growth and harmony.

We urge all parties involved to reaffirm their commitment to uphold these principles and take necessary actions to guarantee former President Jammeh's rights as outlined in the joint declaration. Let us ensure that the international community fulfills its promise to uphold human rights and political stability in the Gambia. Sign this petition to call on ECOWAS, the AU, and the UN to immediately act on their promises and support the democratic and peaceful progression of the Gambian nation.
