Lehigh University - United Nations - About Us In recent years, Lehigh students have regularly visited the United Nations for tours and meetings with ambassadors, and they have attended three consecutive NGO-DPI Conferences. "Lehigh University has conducted numerous United Nations-related programs and events over the last five years, so becoming an NGO is a natural progression of what has already been a very positive relationship,” says Bill Hunter, Lehigh University Representative to the United Nations. At a ceremony at the United Nations in August 2004, Shashi Tharoor, Under-Secretary-General for Communications, presented Ron Yoshida, Lehigh’s Provost Emeritus, with a certificate officially recognizing the university’s status. www.lehigh.edu /~inunited/about_us.htm   (451 words)

DIFFERING VIEWS ON FUTURE OF GIBRALTAR ARE HEARD BY ASSEMBLY’S DECOLONIZATION COMMITTEE There was little doubt that relations between the United Kingdom and the Cayman Islands had become strained, she said.  As a result, the importance of the role of the United Nations Special Committee to assist the electorate of the Cayman Islands to choose the form of constitution they desired could not be overemphasized. The Cayman Islands, she said, encouraged the United Kingdom to work with it to facilitate proper education on self-determination and required a referendum to conclusively determine that any change to the constitution was in keeping with the will of the people of the Islands. The situation of Gibraltar represented a bilateral “territorial horse-trade” between the United Kingdom and Spain in violation of the political rights of the people of Gibraltar, the Chief Minister of Gibraltar told the Fourth Committee (Special Political and Decolonization) this afternoon, as it heard from representatives of Non-Self-Governing Territories and petitioners. www.un.org /News/Press/docs/2003/gaspd261.doc.htm   (674 words)

Doctor Who's Companion (Sergeant Benton) Despite not having any formal training it was because of the character's popularity that he was asked to recreate the role as a UNIT regular from the 1970 story "The Ambassadors of Death". He was the impeccable right hand man to both of them and his ability to command and to gain loyalty in the troops was very evident and he would be the first to be called upon for help.

Iraq: Torture - Western double morality plays into the hands of human rights violators In letters to the ambassadors of the United States and the United Kingdom, ISHR wrote: "ISHR is deeply concerned about the increasing number of so-called 'law-free' zones."
