Tribute to the memory of the late Permanent Representative of Saint Kitts and Nevis to the United Nations, His Excellency Mr. Lee Llewellyn Moore
The Acting President
It is my sad duty to inform members of the passing of one of our colleagues, Mr. Lee Llewellyn Moore, the Permanent Representative of Saint Kitts and Nevis to the United Nations since 1995.
Ambassador Moore had a long and distinguished career as a civil servant and an esteemed diplomat, and was well respected both at home and abroad for his admirable qualities and devotion to his country and to the ideals of the United Nations.
On behalf of the General Assembly and its President, and on my own behalf, I should like to convey our heartfelt condolences to the Government and people of Saint Kitts and Nevis and to the bereaved family.
I now invite representatives to stand and observe a minute of silence in tribute to the memory of Mr. Lee Llewellyn Moore.
The Acting President
I give the floor to the representative of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Mrs. Browne (Saint Kitts and Nevis)
I speak today on behalf of the Permanent Mission of Saint Kitts and Nevis. I would like first of all to express my gratitude to you, Mr. Vice-President, for your statement and kind remarks expressed in honour of the late Sir Lee L. Moore. I am confident that he would have liked me to express appreciation for the cordial relations that he shared with the members of the Assembly and for the general spirit of cooperation that exists between our Mission and the United Nations system.
I share the Vice-President's comment that Sir Lee L. Moore had a very distinguished career: he served the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis in the fields of law, politics and diplomacy. It was in January of this year that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II conferred upon him the title of Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George for his sterling contribution to the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
In his address to the Federation on the passing of Sir Lee L. Moore, The Honourable Denzil Douglas, Prime Minister of the Federation, stated, "The Federation has lost yet another of its illustrious sons". I join The Honourable Prime Minister in saying that the Permanent Mission of Saint Kitts and Nevis mourns the loss of a remarkable diplomat.
The mortal remains of Sir Lee L. Moore will be laid to rest in Saint Kitts and Nevis at a State funeral on Friday, 19 May. A memorial service will be held in his honour in New York at a date to be announced. I would also like to inform the Assembly that a book of condolences will be open for signature at the Permanent Mission of Saint Kitts and Nevis tomorrow, Thursday, 11 May, and on Friday, 12 May, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. I take this opportunity also to thank representatives who have already conveyed expressions of condolences.
Agenda item 125 (continued)
Scale of assessments for the apportionment of the expenses of the United Nations (A/54/730/Add.5)
The Acting President
In the letter contained in document A/54/730/Add.5, the Secretary-General informs the President of the General Assembly that since the issuance of his communications contained in document A/54/730 and addenda 1 to 4, Mali has made the necessary payment to reduce its arrears below the amount specified in Article 19 of the Charter.
May I take it that the General Assembly duly takes note of the information contained in that document?
Agenda item 17 (continued)
Appointments to fill vacancies in subsidiary organs and other appointments
(b) Appointment of members of the Committee on Contributions
Report of the Fifth Committee (A/54/541/Add.1)
The Acting President
In paragraph 5 of the report contained in document A/54/541/Add.1, the Fifth Committee recommends that the General Assembly appoint Mr. Nathan Irumba of Uganda as a member of the Committee on Contributions for a term of office beginning 10 May 2000 and ending 31 December 2000.
May I take it that it is the wish of the Assembly to appoint the person recommended?
(h) Appointment of members of the Joint Inspection Unit
Note by the President of the General Assembly (A/54/110)
The Acting President
