S/C DE:
FROM:
William B. Buffum,
Under-Secretary-General
DE:
for Political and
General Assembly Affairs
SUBJECT: Implementation of the resolutions and decisions adopted by the OB JET:
General
Assembly during its thirty-seventh session
1.
The Director-General for Development and International Economic Co-operation will exercise
over-all guidance and co-ordination concerning the implementation of all resolutions and decisions in
the economic and social fields. Heads of departments or offices having the primary responsibility for
the follow-up of these resolutions or decisions should consult the Director-General in the preparation of
General Assembly documents which have major policy or institutional implications (such as global
economic and social surveys or preparations for, and follow-up to, international conferences and other
global events in the economic and social fields) or raise important issues affecting co-ordination and co-
operation within the Organization and the United Nations system as a whole. Further clarification, if
needed, will be the subject of consultations between the Director-General and the heads of departments
or offices concerned.
2.
While in most cases action on the implementation of the resolutions and decisions has already
been initiated by department or office directly concerned, may I remind you that in 1971 the Joint
Inspection Unit recommended that “the cut-off date for replies of Governments to questionnaires should
be set at the latest at 30 June” and that in his observations the Secretary-General stated that, without
prejudice to the authority of organs concerned to set cut-off dates in the light of special circumstances,
he had no objection to setting them normally at 30 June.
