29 May 1997 Excellency, Upon My Return to New York, I Am Writing To
THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 29 May 1997 Excellency, Upon my return to New York, I am writing to express my profound appreciation for all your efforts to ensure the success of my recent visit to Japan. My wife and I, as well as my delegation, were all impressed by the hospitality accorded to us, by the logistical ease with which our busy programme unfolded and by the wealth of information you were able to impart to us about Japan's current political, economic and social situation. I was particularly grateful to have an opportunity, so early in my term in office, to establish direct, personal contact with His Excellency Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto and His Excellency Yukihiko Ikeda, Minister for Foreign Affairs. My meetings with these estimable leaders were notably open and constructive, reflecting the close ties that exist between Japan and the United Nations, and I left Japan confident in our ability to move forward together on a range of matters of mutual concern. Japan is a central actor on the world stage. I very much look forward to the contributions Japan will make as the international community continues down the path of United Nations reform and as we move into a new century and new millennium. Thank you once again for all your assistance and hard work, not only during my visit to Japan but also here in New York. Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration. KofiV A*>-—. Anna" n His Excellency Mr. Hisashi Owada Permanent Representative of Japan to the United Nations New York THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 29 May 1997 Your Majesty, Upon ray return to New York, I am writing to express my profound gratitude for the honour of an audience with Your Majesty and with Her Majesty Empress Michiko during my visit to Japan earlier this month.

Annual Report LAUTERPACHT CENTRE for INTERNATIONAL LAW 2005 ‐ 2006 Nicholas Sinclair‐Brown (1949 – 2006) Mr Nicholas Sinclair-Brown, Fellow of the Lauterpacht Centre and of Hughes Hall, passed away on Thursday 23 March in London, after a long and doughty fight against cancer. His wife Katerina was with him. The Centre has lost a long-standing companion and friend. Nick was a Fellow of the Centre and also of Hughes Hall, where he was a Vice President. He taught on the International Relations M.Phil and M.Stud. both on issues of general international law, trade and investment, and sustainable development, and was an advisor to the Centre for Sustainable Development Law at McGill University. His additional research interests included the history of international maritime salvage law. Katerina and the Centre dedicated a bench in memory of Nick in the Centre Gardens on 31 May 2006. 1 Introduction Established in 1983, the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law is a centre for the study of international law at the University of Cambridge; it is the premier centre in the UK for research in the field of international law. In this role, it seeks to provide both a framework and forum for critical and constructive thought about the function, content and working of law in the international community, as well as to develop an appreciation of international law as an applied body of rules and principles. A number of those associated with the Centre are actively involved in the practical development and application of international law. The Centre is not involved in the formal teaching or supervision of enrolled students of the University: this is the responsibility of the Faculty of Law, of which the Centre is part.
