UN General Assembly
1980

173. Costa Rica has the honour of being represented by its President, Mr. Rodrigo Carazo Odio, who was invited to that historic meeting by the distinguished head of State of the sister republic of Ecuador. He took that opportunity to add the voice of our country in support of the ideals and principles which were reiterated and strengthened. Costa Rica continues to have faith in them and it maintains a sustained interest in the idea of the creation of the post of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. 174. Having heard the many positive statements of speakers who have preceded me during this general debate, my delegation is encouraged to continue to advocate that idea.
