5. Diplomatic and Political Action While article 2 of the aforementioned Treaty does not establish an express exception regarding the synchronous geostationary orbit, as an integral element of the territory of equatorial states, the countries that have not ratified the Treaty should refrain from undertaking any procedure that allows the enforcement of provisions whose juridical omission has already been denounced. The representatives of the equatorial countries attending the meeting in Bogota, wish to clearly state their position regarding the declarations of Colombia and Ecuador in the United Nations, which affirm that they consider the geostationary orbit to be an integral part of their sovereign territory; this declaration is a historical background for the defense of the sovereign rights of the equatorial countries. These countries will endeavor to make similar declarations in international agencies dealing with the same subject and to align their international policy in accordance with the principles elaborated in this document.
