Copenhagen, 19 December (Panos Radio South Asia)—The reactions from world leaders and negotiators continue as they remain disappointed from the so-called Copenhagen Accord:

Tuvalu: “I regret to inform you. Tuvalu cannot accept that document. This is disrespectful of the other countries. The review mechanism in 2015 is too late”

Venezuela: “It is with indignation that we are speaking this document is not acceptable.”

Bolivia: “We have learned about this document through the media, not through you. Now we are given 60 minutes to accept something already agreed upon by other states. We are seeing actions in a dictatorial way. This is unacceptable and anti-democratic. We are not going to decide about so many lives in only 60 minutes.”

Cuba: “Four hours ago Obama announced an agreement which is non-existant. He is behaving like an emperor. Cuba will not accept your draft declaration at this conference, there is no consensus on this document. I associate my voice to Tuvalu, Venezuela, Bolivia

the target of two degrees is unacceptable.”

Nicaragua: “There is already a precedent where we have not been given the right to speech

now that you have mentioned we finally want to speak. This is a deterioration of the democratic system and this happens at the most important conference of the UN for many years.”

Sudan: “The document L9 is one of the most disturbing events in the history of the UNFCCC. This document threatens the existence of the African continent. It condemns Africa. I want to put on record you , President, have been biased and violated all rules of transparency.”
