UN Recognizes Legitimacy of New Nigerien Authorities, Nigerien Presidency Says
A coup took place in Niger on July 26. President Mohamed Bazoum was ousted and detained by his own guard, led by Gen. Abdrahamane Tiani. Following the coup, Niger could not take part in the United Nations and the regional bloc Economic Community of West African States suspended all cooperation with Niger, threatening an invasion.
The
United Nations recognized the legitimacy of the new military Nigerien authorities, according to a press release relayed by the Nigerien presidency on December 18.
"The Credentials Committee of the United Nations General Assembly is merely acting on a point of international law that does not suffer from any contrary interpretation, as the institutions of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have done, mistaken in their analysis of Community law and international law," the Nigerien presidency wrote, citing the Credentials Committee.
After the Nigerien military came to power on July 26, the ECOWAS
suspended Niger from all decision-making bodies of the regional bloc starting on December 10 due to the military coup in Niger.
Following the coup, the country's new authorities could not participate in any of the UN activities.
