Acting on behalf of Guyana, the PPP joined other Commonwealth member states and signed its Charter.
Here is an excerpt of what the PPP regime endorsed but is now flouting:
"We recognise the inalienable right of individuals to participate in
democratic processes, in particular through free and fair elections in shaping
the society in which they live. Governments, political parties and civil
society are responsible for upholding and promoting democratic culture
and practices and are accountable to the public in this regard. Parliaments
and representative local governments and other forms of local governance
are essential elements in the exercise of democratic governance.
We support the role of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group
to address promptly and effectively all instances of serious or persistent
violations of Commonwealth values without any fear or favour."
