GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESCHEDULES 60TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATION OF PALESTINE REFUGEE

 

AGENCY, ADDS TO AGENDA REQUESTS FROM TRIBÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµALS FOR FORMER YUGOSLAVIA, RWANDA

 

The General Assembly today decided to hold on 24 September 2009 a high-level meeting to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA).

Mindful of the need to ensure the participation of Member States at the ministerial level, the Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution by which it would reschedule the meeting from its original date, 1 October 2009, to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the presence of Heads of State and Government and other high-level political officials that traditionally gather at Headquarters for its annual general debate, which this year opens on 23 September.
