In commemoration of the fortieth anniversary of the United Nations Programme of Fellowships on Disarmament

There is no greater duty to be performed by the United Nations than the maintenance of international peace and security—two prerequisites to the attainment of sustainable development. Thanks to the United Nations Programme of Fellowships on Disarmament, I have been technically empowered and deeply inspired to carry out the work of my country, Jamaica, in advancing this noble duty. As a proud recipient of this Fellowship in 2005, I welcome the opportunity that the commemoration of the Programme’s fortieth anniversary provides to reflect on its impact on my career in the Jamaican Foreign Service.
