ASIAN AND PACIFIC PREPARATORY MEETING FOR THE EIGHTH UNITED NATIONS CONGRESS ON THE PREVENTION OF CRIME AND THE TREATMENT OF OFFENDERS.
·
1 WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED AN INVITATION DIRECT FROM THE UNITED NATIONS TO ATTEND THE ABOVE MEETING WHICH WILL BE HELD IN
BANGKOK FROM 10 TO 14 APRIL 1989. WE UNDERSTAND THAT ALL COUNTRIES WHICH ARE MEMBERS AND ASSOCIATE MEMBERS OF ESCAP ARE BEING INVITED TO ATTEND THIS MEETING.
2. THE COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES ATTENDED THE 6TH CONGRESS IN 1980 AND THE 7TH CONGRESS IN 1985 AS A MEMBER OF THE UNITED KINGDOM DELEGATION. THE COMMISSIONER CONSIDERS IT WOULD BE USEFUL IF A REPRESENTATIVE OF HIS DEPARTMENT COULD ATTEND THE BANGKOK MEETING. WE PRESUME THAT HMG WILL NOT BE SENDING A DELEGATION TO THIS MEETING. IF THIS IS THE CASE, WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR URGENT ADVICE AS TO WHETHER YOU SEE ANY OBJECTION TO HONG KONG ATTENDING THE MEETING INDEPENDENTLY. PLEASE ALSO ADVISE WHETHER WE SHOULD REPLY DIRECT OR THROUGH YOU.
