Grenada’s UN fees are paid

The Ministry ofForeign Affairs
issued a Statement Tuesday February
13 giving the assurance
that Grenada’s paymentof dues to the UN weremade in time for thenext General Assembly.
It was reported that
Grenada was among 8nations marked by theUnited Nations Charterfor not honouring
financial contributions
according to the termsof article 19 of the UN
Charter, which resulted

in the island losing its
ability to vote at the72nd GeneralAssembly.
However, a press
release from theGovernment
Information Service(GIS) in reference tothe reports thatGrenada has lost its
voting rights in theUnited Nations as aresult of unpaid dues,
stated that the Ministryof Foreign Affairs
assures the nation thaton February 05, 2018,

the Permanent Missionof Grenada to the UN
dispatched a cheque tothe United Nations
Secretariat for processing of Grenada’s duesfor 2018. In that
respect, the Ministry
expects to see thisreflected soon in theUN’s information system.
The press release
added that in realterms, Grenada has notbeen prevented fromexercising its voting

rights in the community of nations because
the first voting opportunity of 2018 is inJune when Grenada
votes in support of candidates (memberstates) for non-permanent membership on
the United Nations
Security Council.
The Ministry ofForeign Affairs assures
the nation that
Grenada continues tomaintain a high level ofcredibility and respect
