Director of the Peace, Security and Disarmament Division at
the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Regarding the
resolution, Mr. Charn indicated that Thailand will vote as it
did last year, which is "to support but not co-sponsor" the
resolution proposed by Cuba. Regarding the Australian

therefore they "need to be separated." Mr. Charn explained

supporting the amendment.
