Prof. Joy Ogwu Now President Of UN Security Council by olokedde: 3:00pm On Aug 01, 2015 |
Nigeria will assume the one-month rotational Presidency of the United Nations (UN) Security Council, today, August 1. The Permanent Representative to the UN, Prof. Joy Ogwu, takes over from Ambassador Gerard van Bohemen, the Permanent Representative of New Zealand, who was in charge for the month of July, 2015. A statement released on Friday, July 31, by the Spokesperson to the Permanent Representatives, Dr. Tope Adeleye Elias-Fatile, disclosed that this will be the first time in the history of the UN that an elected member of the Security Council would assume presidency of the Council for the 4th time in two separate tenures within 5 years. The statement said: “This is the fifth time since independence that Nigeria has been elected to serve on this most powerful decision-making organ of the United Nations charged with the responsibility of maintaining international peace and security. Nigeria previously served on the Council from 1966 – 1967, 1978 – 1979, 1994 – 1995 and 2011 – 2012. “Nigeria’s return to the Council in January 2014, after having left only in December 2012, represents one of the shortest periods in the annals of the United Nations that a Member State has spent between two terms on the Council. This is even more remarkable as it is occurring under the institutional memory of the same Permanent Representative, Ambassador U. Joy Ogwu. “Nigeria currently holds the chair of two Security Council Committees: The Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 2048 (2012) concerning Guinea-Bissau and Iraq Sanctions Committee pursuant to resolution 1518 (2003). “In addition, Nigeria is one of the three vice-chairs of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), concerning the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and one of the two vice-chairs of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1591 (2005) concerning Sudan.” http://www.metronaija.com/2015/08/prof-joy-ogwu-now-presidency-of-un.html cc: lalasticlala ishilove 1 Like |
