The admission of Switzerland was one of the first orders of busi ness at the opening of the new session of the General Assembly, the gathering place of the world s nations. Delegates burst into applause when the new assembly president, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Kavan. declared Switzerland the 190th member. French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin, on behalf of Switzerland’s five neighbors, recommended its application for membership after more than 50 years on the sidelines. ‘The role of Switzerland is now crucial on issues of develop ment. international law and human rights.” he said. "The entry of Switzerland will strengthen the United Nations.” noted that Al-Qaid De Villepin Switzerland was the only nation to decide to join the l nited Nations after a popular referen dum. which would strengthen “the democratic premise of our organization.” In a Swiss referendum in March, 55 percent voted in favor of U.N. membership, heeding a government campaign that said rejection w'ould be disastrous for the country’s international stand ing and that neutrality had lost much of its meaning. A 1986 vote overwhelmingly rejected U.N. membership. At the end of the French min ister’s speech, Kavan asked whether the General Assembly would accept the nxommenda- suspects capturetfOl by poli» enov lion for Switzi member KARACHI Pakiar Policecommandolfcfr.
