TANZANIA:
Frederick E. Mallya supported the view that the
CSD should take a leading role in addressing issues related to
poverty alleviation, unsustainable production and consumption
patterns and lifestyles, and debt in relation to sustainable
development. He welcomed the decisions by governments to host
intersessional meetings that are expected to contribute to the work
of the CSD and hopes that developing countries will be assisted so
they can participate in these meetings. Tanzania is satisfied with
the progress achieved so far in the negotiations for the
desertification Convention, hopes that the Convention and an
instrument for Africa will be finalized by June 1994, and urges the
Second Committee to adopt the draft decision submitted by the INCD.
Tanzania supports the adoption of a procedural resolution that will
convene two further sessions of the Conference on Straddling and
Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in 1994. He also supports the AOSIS
proposal for a one-week resumed session of the PrepCom for the
Conference on the Sustainable Development on Small Island
Developing States. Tanzania is preparing for Habitat II and expects
to implement the recommendations of the Global Strategy for Shelter
to the Year 2000. Finally, Tanzania believes that Habitat and UNEP
have two distinct mandates which justifies that appointment of the
Executive Director of Habitat without further delay.
