Amb. Hamoud Ould Ely supported the unanimous
adoption of the Convention and the identification of the need for urgent

global nature of desertification. He expressed concern over the constant
delays in action and added that because of the scope and immediacy of
the problem, no more delays can be tolerated. Remedies cannot be limited
to humanitarian operations.
