Venezuela has been chosen as Latin American & Caribbean representative on the United Nations (UN) Disarmament Commission Bureau for 2003-2004. A statement from the Venezuelan Foreign Office highlights claims that Venezuela has obtained leadership in the commission over the years for its work on disarmament in general and efforts to seek ways of promoting peace in world.
Venezuela has appointed a member of its United Nations delegation, Mary Cedeño to assume the presidency of the bureau after she received majority support from other bureau members.
- Taking up office, Cedeño will chair the Disarmament Commission, which ends this week.
The aim of the Commission is "to study the importance of nuclear disarmament for international peace, security and stability and to propose initiatives to establish principles and multilateral norms of disarmament."
