1Czechoslovakia, which was an original Member of the United Nations from 24 October 1945, split up on 1 January 1993 and was succeeded by the Czech Republic and Slovakia. 2Egypt and Syria, both of which became Members of the United Nations on 24 October 1945, joined together—following a plebiscite held in those countries on 21 February 1958—to form the United Arab Republic. On 13 October 1961, Syria, having resumed its status as an independent State, also re- sumed its separate membership in the United Nations; it changed its name to the Syrian Arab Republic on 14 September 1971. The United Arab Republic continued as a Member of the United Nations and reverted to the name of Egypt on 2 September 1971. 3Through accession of the German Democratic Republic to the Federal Republic of Germany on 3 October 1990, the two German States (both of which became United Nations Members on 18 September 1973) united to form one sovereign State. As from that date, the Federal Republic of Germany has acted in the United Nations under the designation Germany. 4On 20 January 1965, Indonesia informed the Secretary-General that it had decided to withdraw from the United Nations. By a telegram of 19 Septem- ber 1966, it notified the Secretary-General of its decision to resume participation in the activities of the United Nations. On 28 September 1966, the Gen- eral Assembly took note of that decision and the President invited the representatives of Indonesia to take their seats in the Assembly. 5On 16 September 1963, Sabah (North Borneo), Sarawak and Singapore joined with the Federation of Malaya (which became a United Nations Mem- ber on 17 September 1957) to form Malaysia. On 9 August 1965, Singapore became an independent State and on 21 September 1965 it became a Mem- ber of the United Nations. 6The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was an original Member of the United Nations from 24 October 1945. On 24 December 1991, the President of the Russian Federation informed the Secretary-General that the membership of the USSR in all United Nations organs was being continued by the Russian Federation. 7Tanganyika was admitted to the United Nations on 14 December 1961, and Zanzibar, on 16 December 1963. Following ratification, on 26 April 1964, of the Articles of Union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar, the two States became represented as a single Member: the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar; it changed its name to the United Republic of Tanzania on 1 November 1964. 8Yemen was admitted to the United Nations on 30 September 1947 and Democratic Yemen on 14 December 1967. On 22 May 1990, the two countries merged and have since been represented as one Member.

    * From Indifference to 19-12-2003 17:26 Pagina 1 NORBERT BOTH NORBERT NORBERT BOTH Fr om Indifference to Entrapment to om Indifference The Yugoslav crisis represents a formidable foreign policy challenge to many Western and Islamic government bureaucracies. From Indifference to Entrapment deals with the question of how the Netherlands faced up to this challenge during the years 1990-1995. It was during this period that the crisis erupted into armed conflict and the single worst war crime in Europe since the end of World War II took place in the ‘safe area’ of Srebrenica. The role of the Netherlands is particularly interesting, as the country held the EC/EU Presidency during the recognition debate in 1991 and supplied the peacekeeping presence in Srebrenica. The questions addressed in this book include: Did early warning work? What role did the Dutch Presidency (July-December 1991) play in the recognition debate? What motiv- ated the Dutch opposition to the Vance-Owen Peace Plan? Why did the Netherlands become From Indifference entrapped, as symbolised through its isolated peacekeeping commitment to Srebrenica? Finally, what can this story tell us about the ability of small and medium powers to in- fluence international affairs? This study is based on interviews with key players, including former Cabinet Minis- ters, and on documents from the Netherlands Ministry to Entrapment of Foreign Affairs, made available under the Dutch ‘freedom of information act’. ISBN 90-5356-453-5 Dr. Norbert Both, formerly a research assistant The Netherlands for David Owen, now works at the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Gambari, the Joint Special Representative for the African Union and the United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, known as UNAMID. He will be speaking on “Ending the Conflict in Darfur, Time for a Renewed Effort.” Ibrahim Gambari’s appearance here is another high point in this series which IPI is pleased to put on in the interest of furthering a dialogue between the UN community in New York and key UN leaders with critical experience on the ground and in the field operating in a reality that can be distant from headquarters. Earlier this month, we had Ellen Margarethe Løj, the SRSG of Liberia, and next week we are hosting Ad Melkert, the SRSG for Iraq. Now, I'm happy to say that I've known Ibrahim Gambari ever since I first arrived in Turtle Bay in December of 2003 to cover the UN for The New York Times.

    ADDRESS by PRESIDENT PAUL KAGAME International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda

    ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT PAUL KAGAME International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda United Nations, New York, 12 April 2019 Let me begin by thanking the organisers of this event, and we are happy to be with you today. And also thanking you for attending this 15th annual Day of Reflection. Most especially, I wish to thank the Secretary General and the President of the General Assembly for co-organising this event with Rwandans, and for the important statements we have just heard. Remembrance is an act of honour. More than a million lives were lost. We honour the victims. We honour the courage of the survivors. And we honour the manner in which Rwandans have come together to rebuild our nation. We honour and thank you all, those who have been with Rwanda through these hard times. Remembrance is also an act of prevention. When genocide is dormant, it takes the form of denial and trivialisation. Denial is an ideological foundation of genocide. Countering denial is essential for breaking the cycle and preventing any recurrence. In that spirit, the General Assembly voted overwhelmingly last year to adopt the proper terminology: Genocide against the Tutsi. I thank Member States most sincerely for this measure. Such a clarification should not have been necessary, given the irrefutable proof and historical facts of what happened in Rwanda. But the efforts to rewrite history are relentless and increasingly mainstream. The victims of genocide are targeted because of who they are, a distinction fundamental to the definition of genocide itself, both morally and legally.
