Statement by His Excellency Dr. Lansana Gberie, Ambassador to Switzerland and Permanent Representative of Sierra Leone to the United Nations and other International Organisations in Geneva.
Sixty years ago today, Sierra Leone became a sovereign independent state, and joined the United Nations as its 100th member. Nine years later, Sierra Leone had the honour to be elected as a non-permanent member of the Security Council and became President of the Council for a month in September 1971.
With the support of the international community, including members of the West African Economic Community (ECOWAS), the United Nations, and many bilateral partners, Sierra Leone emerged from a civil war in 1990s and early 2000s more resilient and with stronger democratic governance institutions than before.

In Dialogue with Belgium, Committee on Elimination of Racial Discrimination Asks about Lack of Data on Ethic Origin and Removal
OHCHR
The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination this afternoon concluded its consideration of the combined twentieth to twenty-second periodic reports of Belgium on its implementation of the provisions of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
Committee Experts said the absence of data on ethnic origin made the assessment of this report difficult. Could the delegation inform the Committee about measures considered to address this matter? Committee Experts also asked the delegation to provide information about efforts to address issues related to education on racism and Belgium’s colonial past.
