RIGHT TO DEVELOPMENT MUST BE FULLY RECOGNIZED AS HUMAN RIGHT, CHINA TELLS THIRD COMMITTEE

CORRECTION

On page 11 of Press Release GA/SHC/3500 of 6 November, the statement by the representative of Eritrea on page 11 should read as follows:

The representative of Eritrea said that his response to the Ethiopian representative was: Where were the third party documents to prove her case? The Eritrean delegation always presented viable documents proving their case while the Ethiopian delegation only made charges. The Secretary-General's report considered those expelled from Ethiopia to be Ethiopian citizens since they had Ethiopian identification cards, carried Ethiopian passports and worked and paid taxes as Ethiopians. Moreover, to compare those people with him is incorrect since he had ceased to be an Ethiopian after he was jailed in Ethiopia in 1981 for being an Eritrean and subsequently fled the country in 1986.
