I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of the letter transmitted by you from the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the United Nations, dated 26 December 2019, in which he informed you of the decision of the Government of Ukraine to cease its membership in the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People as from 1 January 2020 (A/74/671, annex).
