MINISTER of Foreign and Caricom Affairs Dennis Moses
will lead this country’s delegation
at the 70th Regular Session
of the United Nations General Assembly.
The UN General Assembly, which is being held at the
United Nations Headquarters in New York, USA,
started yesterday and ends on October 4.
The theme of the General Debate of the
70th Regular Session is
“The United Nations at 70:
the road ahead for peace, security and human rights”.
“The General Assembly is the main deliberative organ
of the United Nations comprising representatives
of all 193 member states.
The work of the United Nations derives largely
from the decisions of the General Assembly.
“Each session consists of a High Level Segment,
the main feature of which is the General Debate,
at which Heads of State and/or Government or
Ministers of Foreign Affairs
deliver the National Address to the Assembly,
followed immediately thereafter
by the substantive work of the Plenary Session
and its six main committees,”
a release from the Foreign and Caricom Affairs Ministry stated.
“Minister Moses
will be leading the Trinidad and Tobago delegation
and will participate in a number of meetings and discussions,
including the Post-2015 Development Agenda,
the launch of which will take the form of
a summit being convened by Mr Ban Ki-moon,
Secretary General of the United Nations,
from September 25 to 27, 2015.
“This summit will formally adopt
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” the release stated.
