STEERING COMMITTEE
This is an action request.
1. Mission is instructed to participate in the 12-member ad
hoc preparatory committee established to commemorate the 60th
anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations Relief
and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East
(UNRWA) during the General Assembly's upcoming 64th session.

related to this commemoration are focused solely on UNRWA's
humanitarian efforts and are not politicized in any way. It

see this position reflected in the declaration and
commemoration events tentatively scheduled for October 2009.
