ORGANIZATION OF AFRICAN UNITY:
The representative welcomed
the completion of the Convention. The effects of desertification and
drought in Africa must be checked if the continent is to have a firm
basis for sustainable development. The Convention will be meaningful
only if it is effectively and promptly implemented. He called on the
international community to ratify and implement the Convention.
