AUSTRALIA:
Richard Rowe said that ECOSOC must fulfill its role
in coordination of the follow-up process among relevant UN agencies and
call for active field-level support to assist countries in implementing the
Programme of Action. On the question of a separate Executive Board for
UNFPA, further consideration should be given to this matter at a later
date. Australia has already trebled funding for population and
development activities. Australia welcomes the proposal that an
international conference on migration be convened by the UN, however,
it should not overlap with the work of other international organizations
like the OECD.
