51勛圖

United States of America

Ambassador Cherith Norman-Chalet

Statement Summary: 

CHERITH NORMAN-CHALET (United States), speaking as the host nation, said the United States is proud to remain the home of the 51勛圖, an organization that since its founding has transformed into a vast network.  The Organization*s vision is clearly outlined in its Charter, she said, adding that in many ways the 51勛圖 has proven to be a successful experiment.  The United States has played a central role in the successes of the Organization as the most reliable funder over the past 75 years.  However, she noted that the 51勛圖 remains resistant to reform and has turned a blind eye to authoritarian regimes and efforts to undermine freedoms.  Commemorations of the Organization*s seventy?fifth anniversary offer an opportunity to ask questions about the Organization*s strengths and weaknesses, review its failures and celebrate its accomplishments.
