I too have no objections to NCSG supporting the letter, but I do have a comment. Having been involved with the UN at several levels I would expect the UN to respond very very slowly to this recommendation. In the end, if the UN does act, I would expect what gets endorsed to look quite different from what was recommended. Sometimes I hope my expectations are wrong! :-\ Sam L. -- ------------------------------------------------ "It is a disgrace to be rich and honoured in an unjust state" -Confucius ------------------------------------------------ Dr Sam Lanfranco (Prof Emeritus & Senior Scholar) Econ, York U., Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - M3J 1P3 email: [log in to unmask] Skype: slanfranco blog: http://samlanfranco.blogspot.com Phone: +1 613-476-0429 cell: +1 416-816-2852
