Tribute to the memory of Mr. Leopoldo Benites, President of the twenty-eighth session of the General Assembly

The President

Before we take up the items on our agenda this morning, it is my sad duty to inform members of the Assembly of the death of His Excellency Mr. Leopoldo Benites of Ecuador, which occurred on 7 March.

Mr. Benites was President of the twenty-eighth session of the General Assembly, and Permanent Representative of Ecuador to the United Nations from 1960 to 1975. He played a prominent role in this Organization and made a major contribution towards the achievement of the objectives set out in the Charter.

On behalf of the General Assembly, I should like to convey to the members of the family of Mr. Leopoldo Benites and to the Government and the people of Ecuador our deepest and most heartfelt condolences.

I now invite representatives to stand and observe a minute of silence in tribute to the memory of Leopoldo Benites.

The members of the General Assembly observed a minute of silence.
The President

I now call on the representative of Ecuador.
