Cooperation with the League of Arab
States
Areas of cooperation between the United Nations and LAS also continued to be consolidated, pursuant to General
Assembly resolution 49/14 of 15 November 1994. The general meeting on cooperation between the representatives of
the secretariats of the two bodies, held at Vienna from 19 to 21 July, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the
United Nations and LAS, provided an opportunity for the follow-up of multilateral proposals aimed at strengthening
cooperation to promote social and economic development and the exchange of views in the fields of preventive action
and mine clearance. The United Nations continued to cooperate with LAS on the question of Somalia. LAS, jointly with
OAU and OIC, held a meeting on Somalia at Cairo on 22 and 23 February 1995 at which the United Nations
participated as an observer. The participating organizations agreed to continue to undertake joint efforts to assist
national reconciliation in Somalia.
