Lebanon/Roed-Larsen appointed special envoy – SecGen letter to SecCo President

Letter dated 14 December 2004 from the Secretary-General addressed to the President of the Security Council

  I have the honour to refer to the statement by the President of the Security Council of 19 October 2004, in which the Council requested that I report to it every six months on the implementation of resolution 1559 (2004).

  To enable me to fulfil the Council’s mandate effectively, I have decided to appoint Terje Roed-Larsen as my Special Envoy for the implementation of Security Council resolution 1559 (2004) at the level of Under-Secretary-General. In carrying out this task, on a when actually employed basis, Mr. Roed-Larsen would consult with the Government of Lebanon and other interested Member States to assist in the preparation of my semi-annual reports to the Council on the implementation of resolution 1559 (2004).

  I should be grateful if you would bring the present letter to the attention of the members of the Security Council.

(Signed) Kofi A. Annan
