The State of Palestine’s envoy to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ in Geneva, Ibrahim Khraishi, has officially submitted a letter from President Mahmoud Abbas seeking membership of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Conference on Trade and Development (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵCTAD).<\/p>\n

Mr. Khraishi, who is the Palestinian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Permanent Observer, hand delivered the letter from President Abbas on 24 May to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵCTAD Secretary-General Mukhisa Kituyi. The letter expresses the State of Palestine’s intention to become a member of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵCTAD.<\/p>\n

As part of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Secretariat, rather than a specialized agency, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵCTAD’s responses to all major international issues are based on consultations with the global secretariat of the United Nations and, following the State of Palestine’s request, it has begun these with Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ headquarters in New York.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Under Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵCTAD’s rules of procedure, the Geneva-based organization’s members are states which are already members of the United Nations — or of the world body’s specialized agencies, which is the case of the State of Palestine, part of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵESCO).<\/p>\n

The request to join Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵCTAD comes as the State of Palestine has also applied to be part of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Industrial Development Organization (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵIDO) and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
