Bougainville President Warns Of Going Against Peace ProcessMargot Staunton RNZ Pacific senior journalistBougainville's President Ishmael Toroama says if Papua New Guinea's national parliament refuses to back the 2019 referendum result it will undermine the peace process. The referendum was provided for by the Bougainville Peace Agreement, a long term commitment which was forged in 2001 as a settlement after the Bougainville civil war in the 1990s. He argued that rejecting the referendum outcome would contradict the Bougainville Peace Agreement. Those were unilateral decisions made by the national government and the speaker of the national parliament," he said. He said the overwhelming referendum vote for independence remained beyond dispute.
