Prime Minister Sarah Wescot-Williams and Cura�ao Prime Minister Gerritt Schotte attended the recently held United Nations General Assembly in New York as members of the Dutch Kingdom delegation. Among issues brought up during the General Assembly was President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority formally requesting full United Nations membership as a path toward statehood, rejecting arguments by the United States and Israel that it was not a substitute for direct negotiations for peace in the Middle East. Abbas handed a letter requesting the membership to Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations Secretary General, before delivering his speech at the annual General Assembly. Mr. Ban will submit the request to the Security Council. (Ramsay Soemanta photo)
