ECONOMIC COMMITTEE TOLD DEVELOPED COUNTRIES FALL SHORT ON COMMITMENTS FOR FINANCIAL RESOURCES, ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND TECHNOLOGIES CORRECTION
19961023In Press Release GA/EF/2730 of 22 October, the last paragraph on page 10 should read:
"BERHANU KEBEDE (Ethiopia) said the special session of the General Assembly on Agenda 21 should focus not only on what had been achieved since UNCED, but give political impetus and guidelines for action beyond 1997. It should be a platform where the principle of common but differentiated responsibility had to be consolidated and the issue of financing, transfer of technology and the institutional follow-up mechanisms streamlined. The session should also address the challenges encountered in the implementation of the agreed commitments. Swift implementation of those commitments required genuine partnership on several fronts, including responsibilities of national governments and multilateral development agencies and international financial institutions."
