Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Should Taiwan Be Admitted to the United Nation?: Hearing Before the Subcommittees on International Security, International Organizations, and Human Rights and Asia and the Pacific of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, July 14, 1994 The Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific, Washington, DC. The subcommittees met, pursuant to call, at 10 a.m. in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Tom Lantos (chairman of the Subcommittee on International Security, International Organizations and Human Rights) presiding. Mr. Lantos. The Subcommittees on International Security, International Organizations and Human Rights, and Asia and the Pacific, are convening today to discuss the complex question of whether Taiwan should be admitted or readmitted to the United Nations. As of August 1, 1993, 184 states were represented in the General Assembly, and I would guess that the names of some of them might be unfamiliar or perhaps even unknown to many. How many of us can immediately place Barbuda, Comoros, Vanautu, or Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on the map in terms of weight and importance in the international trading system, in terms of gross domestic product, in terms of technological prowess, and in terms of foreign exchange reserves? I do not mean to denigrate these countries or to suggest that they do not belong in the United Nations; rather, I mean only to illustrate the degree to which the current U.N. membership reflects the worlds political landscape. This is only fitting because U.N. membership is based on the principal of universality, and the organization is in fact enriched by the widest possible participation. Indeed, even the Holy See has permanent observer status as do several international organizations, including, among others, the Commonwealth Secretariat, the Asian-African Legal Consultative Committee, and the Latin American Economic System. And the Palestine Liberation Organization was invited in 1974 to attend U.N. General Assembly sessions and international conferences.
