Agenda item 17
Appointments to fill vacancies in subsidiary organs and other appointments
(f) Appointment of a member of the Joint Inspection Unit (A/57/107)
The President
As indicated in document A/57/107, the General Assembly is required, during the fifty-seventh session, to appoint a member to fill the vacancy on the Joint Inspection Unit that will arise from the expiration of the term of office on 31 December 2003 of Mr. Armando Duque González of Colombia.
As also indicated in document A/57/107, in accordance with article 3, paragraph 1, of the statute of the Joint Inspection Unit, the President of the General Assembly shall consult with Member States to draw up a list of countries, in this case, one country, which would be requested to propose a candidate for appointment to the Joint Inspection Unit.
After holding the necessary consultations, I should like to communicate to the Assembly the information received from the Chairman of the Group of Latin American and Caribbean States that the Group has endorsed Trinidad and Tobago to propose a vacancy from among the Latin American and Caribbean States.
In accordance with article 3, paragraph 1, of the statute of the Joint Inspection Unit, Trinidad and Tobago will therefore be requested to submit the name of a candidate and the curriculum vitae highlighting the candidate's relevant qualifications for the task ahead.
After holding the appropriate consultations described in article 3, paragraph 2, of the statute of the Joint Inspection Unit, including consultations with the President of the Economic and Social Council and with the Secretary-General, in his capacity as Chairman of the Chief Executives Board for Coordination, I will propose a qualified candidate to the Assembly for appointment to the Joint Inspection Unit.
