regarding the Charter (translated from French, as reported in the
Malagasy press):
"Madagascar identifies itself with this fundamental document and
appreciates its goal, which is to consolidate democracy on the
continent by promoting democratic principles and institutions, by
enhancing participation by the population and good governance...".
