UN TRUSTEESHIP COUNCIL CHAMBER REOPENS WITH NEW HOPES FOR THE FUTURE,
BAN SAYSNew York, Apr 26 2013 12:00PMThe Trusteeship Council Chamber
has reopened in a royal ceremony at the United Nations Headquarters in
New York after three years of grand-scale restoration.

"This is an inclusive room where everyone can easily communicate. It
fosters dialogue," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=6776">said at the
re-opening ceremony on Thursday among high level dignitaries,
including Princess Mary of Denmark and the Minister for Development
Cooperation, Christian Friis.

"Although we no longer meet here on trust territories, we will hold
many important discussions in this Chamber. I am confident that they
will further advance the values of the United Nations," Mr. Ban added.

The Trusteeship Council, one of the main organs of the UN, was
established to supervise the administration of trust territories as
they transitioned from colonies to sovereign nations. The Council
suspended its activities in 1994, when Palau, the last of the original
11 trust territories, gained its independence.

In his remarks, Mr. Ban noted the historical importance the Chamber
once carried. "It may be difficult now to imagine how closely the
world once watched what happened in this Chamber. For years, the
Trusteeship Council was a symbol of hope for millions of people
struggling against colonial domination. Its work was central to the
early history of the United Nations. Discussions here led to
liberation for scores of countries and territories."

While the name 'Trusteeship' may seem old-fashioned, Mr. Ban said this
was a "high compliment" and wished that "the other UN bodies could
finish their business with the same effectiveness of the Trusteeship
Council."

The Chamber, originally designed by Danish architect Finn Juhl in
1952, has been revamped in a close collaboration between the UN and
the Government of Denmark, with new furniture by Danish designers
Kasper Salto and Thomas Sigsgaard.

Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik of Denmark personally came two
years ago to tour its renovation process.

Among the iconic aspects of the room is a statue of a girl with arms
upraised, reading towards a bird which hovers with outspread wings
above her head. Carved out of teak wood by Henri Starcke, a Danish
sculptor, it symbolizes Mankind and Hope.

"Let us take inspiration from this statue and reach for the sky," Mr.
Ban said. "Let us carry on the tradition of this Chamber and complete
our work with success. And let us take on new challenges for a better
world."Apr 26 2013 12:00PM
