Statement at the Fifty Ninth Ordinary Session of the Advisory Committee on Administrative, Budgetary and Financial Matters

"As I stated during the Ministerial Session of the Central Organ, the primary responsibility for preventing, managing and resolving conflicts in Africa lies with Africans themselves. This requires political commitment as well as financial and material contribution on the part of African countries as it calls for contribution from the peoples of this Continent. Through our collective commitment and effort, we can be able to demonstrate to the World that we can make a difference and project the image of a Continent that is assuming its responsibility. This is our challenge!" - Dr. Salim, November 11, 1993
