10月5日星期一，前往纽约的法属波利尼西亚代表团原本希望推动与法国展开谈判，并在联合国第四委员会讨论非殖民化问题，但他们的希望很快破灭了。
The hopes of the French Polynesian delegation, which traveled to New York to advocate for opening talks with France before the United Nations' Fourth Committee on Decolonization, were quickly dashed on Monday, October 5.
会议开始不到10分钟，法国常驻联合国副代表杰伊·达尔马迪卡里宣布，法国不允许联合国介入法属波利尼西亚事务，包括组织关于自决权的公投。
Less than 10 minutes after the start of the session that afternoon, Jay Dharmadhikari, France's deputy permanent representative to the UN, announced that France would not allow the UN to intervene in the French Polynesian issue, including with the goal of organizing a referendum on self-determination.
尽管法属波利尼西亚议会的独立派和亲法派成员通过9月24日的决议要求联合国进行干预，但这一决定并未改变巴黎自2013年以来的坚定立场。2013年，联合国将法属波利尼西亚重新列为非自治领土。
No UN mission will therefore take place, despite both pro-independence and loyalist members of the Assembly of French Polynesia requesting one through a resolution passed on September 24. The unprecedented alliance did not change the firm stance that Paris has maintained since 2013, the year French Polynesia was re-listed as a non-self-governing territory by the UN.
达尔马迪卡里表示：‘法属波利尼西亚是一个拥有广泛政治自治权的海外集体。
Dharmadhikari said, "French Polynesia is an overseas collectivity with broad political autonomy.
这种自治地位由法国宪法保障，建立在合作和对波利尼西亚人愿望与权利的尊重之上。他们的权利与任何法国公民相同。
This autonomous status, guaranteed by the French Constitution, was built on cooperation and respect for the aspirations and rights of Polynesians. These rights are identical to those of any French citizen.
自治安排使他们能够选举自己的政府、地方议会的代表，并确保他们在国家机构中的代表权。只有主权问题仍由法国政府负责。’
The autonomy arrangement allows them to elect their own government, their representatives in local assemblies, and ensures their representation in national institutions. Only sovereign powers remain the responsibility of the French state."
他还补充说，埃马纽埃尔·马克龙总统仍将‘与所有相关利益方进行协商，考虑过去的意见和提出的请求’。”}{
He added that President Emmanuel Macron would nonetheless "hold consultations with all relevant stakeholders, taking into account past messages and expressed requests."
