For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ The general debate of the United Nations opened this morning at the UN headquarters in New York. The Guatemalan President, Jimmy Morales was among the speakers on the first day of the debate. Morales spoke at length about the CICIG, which is the UN anti-corruption agency in Guatemala that is investigating acts of corruption which have resulted in the arrests of numerous politicians past and present. But at the onset of his statement, Morales spoke of the territorial dispute with Belize. Morales put it in the context of peace and cooperation. He referred to the referendum already held in Guatemala in April saying that a resounding ninety-six percent voted YES to take the claim to the International Court of Justice. The president is right to say that ninety-six percent voted yes, what he did not say was that twenty-six percent of voters went to the polls. Morales also said he eagerly awaits the outcome of the referendum to be held here in Belize next year.
