INFORMATION CIRCULAR
To: All Permanent Missions of the United Nations
To: Members of the Staff of the United Nations
I regret to announce that Professor Ahmed S. Bokhari, Under-Secretary
for Public Information, passed away this rorning.
Professor Bokhari has been one of the senior officials of the
Secretariat of the United Nations for four years. Before joining the
Secretariat as Under-Secretary in charge of Public Information, he was
Head of the Delegation of Pakistan to the United Nations. In both
capacities his rich and perceptive mind has left its strong mark in the
Organization.
He carried the dual heritage of Eastern and Western civilization. This
gave him an unusual width of approach to those problems of our time with
which the United Nations has to deal. He reflected in his personality
the possibility of a synthesis of great traditions on which it is the
task of our generation to build one world. He also knew in a deep
personal sense the difficulties and tensions which must accompany such a
process.
His influence will long be felt and his Unique personality will long be
remembered by his friends and colleagues. |
