Japan and the United Nations (PDF)
Japan and the United Nations Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japan Japan's Contribution to the International Community at the UN Foundation of the UN and Japan's Accession to the UN The United Nations (UN) was founded in 1945 under the pledge to prevent the recurrence of war. Eleven years later, in 1956, Japan joined the UN as its 80th member. Since its accession, Japan has contributed to a diversity of fields in UN settings. For example, as of 2014, Japan had served ten times as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council (UNSC). Also, as the only country that has ever suffered from the devastation of atomic bombings, Japan has taken every opportunity to call the importance of disarmament and non-proliferation to the attention of the international community, gaining appreciation and trust from many countries. Today, the international community faces a number of new challenges to be addressed, such as a rash of regional and ethnic conflicts, poverty, sustainable development, climate change, and human rights issues. These global challenges should be addressed by the United Nations with its universal character. For nearly three decades, Japan has been the second largest contributor to the UN's finances after the United States, and Japan is an indispensable partner in the management of the UN. ⓒUN Photo/Mark Garten 1 Japan's Contributions at the UN In cooperation with the UN, Japan contributes to international peace and stability through exercising leadership in its areas of expertise, such as agenda-setting and rule-making for the international community. A case in point is human security.

Australian Native Plants Society Conference
1 AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANTS SOCIETY NATIONAL CONFERENCE SPEECH BY HER EXCELLENCY PROFESSOR THE HONOURABLE KATE WARNER AC GOVERNOR OF TASMANIA WREST POINT, SANDY BAY, MONDAY 15 JANUARY 2018 Good morning delegates, and thank you for inviting me to open the Australian Native Plants Society national conference. I begin today by paying my respects to the Mouheneener people, the traditional and original owners of this land ̶ those who have passed before us; and in acknowledgement of today’s Tasmanian Aboriginal community, being the custodians of this land. I am informed that your conference is a biennial event that brings you together from all around Australia and that there a few delegates from overseas too.1 I wish to warmly welcome all of you to Tasmania and I do hope you get a chance to explore our beautiful island while you are here. I know that there are excursions during the conference and also pre- and post conference excursions for delegates. There is so much to see. I am a keen bushwalker and like many Tasmanians have walked the overland track, including climbing Pelion West and Mt Oakleigh and marvelled at the wonderful flora which provided a welcome distraction during those, for me, quite challenging climbs. And I have also enjoyed the four-day Freycinet Experience walk in Spring with Sib Corbett as a guide explaining the flora and finding and identifying native orchids for us. I understand that Sib designed the Tasmanian section of the Botanical Gardens here in Hobart. And I can see from your program that Dr Keith Corbett is presenting about the Tasmanian Bushland Garden near Buckland, NE of Hobart, which I can strongly recommend.

14 Sir James Plimsoll: Mandarin Abroad
14 Sir James Plimsoll: Mandarin Abroad Jeremy Hearder1 James Plimsoll’s life and career had similarities with others featured in this volume, but also significant differences. The main difference was that for two-thirds of his time he was abroad. Dwarfs and mandarins succeeded in part because they had effective communication with the ministers for whom they worked; that is, mutual comprehension, trust and respect. For the mandarin based abroad this was more difficult, given distance, poor communications, and being less aware of the atmospherics at home. Provision of frank and fearless advice was hard from afar, when such advice clearly was not going to be well received and even harder when you do not personally know the minister or Snow White. So the ideal was for the ambassador to feel confident in knowing Snow White’s mind, and for Snow White to have personal confidence in the ambassador. Let me tell you a true fairy story. Once upon a time, in 1962, Snow White decided to go to New York without any of the dwarfs, because Snow White knew he would be well looked after by that mandarin over there, Plimsoll. In New York, Snow White found that Plimsoll kept on trying to bring up the subject of Rhodesia. An increasingly prominent and sensitive issue, it had been inscribed as an agenda item to be debated in the United Nations General Assembly in a few days time. Plimsoll was getting no guidance from officials in Canberra on what he should say. Snow White kept fobbing him off. Eventually, when Snow White was about to board a plane to return home, Plimsoll implored him once again for guidance about what he should say about Rhodesia.
