IAIJ at the 57th Session of the Commission for Social Development!
By Tyrone Taiwo, IAIJ Inc.
The international Association of Independent Journalists Inc. (IAIJ) is pleased to announce that we had a most successful trip to the United Nations in New York City for the 57th Session of the Commission for Social Development (February 11-21, 2019). Our representative for this trip was Maurice Ali who is President and CEO of IAIJ and he has issued this short statement on the event:
Maurice Ali
“I am happy to announce to the Board of Directors and the general membership that IAIJ had a very successful outcome at the 57th Session of the Commission for Social Development. We were able to address the Commission for Social Development on our Positive Major Mandate for Humanity at the United Nations and give them all our supporting material and a request to send some of the material to the United Nations Institute for Social Development in Geneva (Switzerland). Our side event "A Positive Major Mandate for Humanity at the United Nations" at 9:45am on February 20 was successfully webcast to the world at large showcasing our report “A Positive Major Mandate for Humanity at the United Nations” and answered many questions during the side-event.
On behalf of myself as President and CEO of the International Association of Independent Journalists Inc., the Board of Directors and the general membership; we would like to extend the following messages of thanks and appreciation. We would like to thank the Bureau for the Commission for Social Development and the Commission for Social Development for a successful session and hospitality and allowing us to give an oral statement to the Commission for Social Development, and hold a side event during the session. Secondly, we would like to thank the support staff at the event from all departments that helped make the session a success and also making our side event a success; our many thanks to all involved!
In addition to those I have already mentioned, let me give appreciation and thanks to all the participants of the 57th Session of the Commission for Social Development. It was a pleasure to have met many of you and hope to meet you gain at a future session of the Commission for Social Development.”
