UN Chronicle Interview with Julian R. Hunte (St Lucia), President of the Fifty-eighth United Nations General Assembly

In an interview on 22 July 2003, Mr Hunte indicated that, as a product of a small island developing State, he was “very conscious of the interests of SIDS within the broader interests of UN Member States”. In terms of his priorities as President of the General Assembly, Mr Hunte also indicated that he hoped “to highlight issues that affect SIDS: the question of the vulnerability of SIDS and the need for special and differential treatment.” http://www.un.org/Pubs/chronicle/2003/issue3/082103_interview.asp
