UN to debate on Volcker report findings |
2005-12-20 |
![]() Of all the 191 country members of the UN, it is Costa Rica that forced the UN General Assembly to take on its agenda âFollow-up to the recommendations of the independent inquiry committee into the UN oil-for-food programme.â At the Assemblyâs general committee, which is like the business advisory committee of Parliament, Sen fought hard to amend language of the Costa Ricaâs resolution by pressing that the discussion should be to reinforce measures for administrative management to rectify internal oversights. A report says India, however, could not oppose the Costa Rican demand in the general committee because no other country, among the 21 on the committee, was against the idea that the Assembly should discuss the Volcker findings. |
