  Hi,
  
  I got something to ask everybody.
  
  Although Singapore's profile at the United Nations (UN) is not high, but it is not insignificant rite? Then what are Singapore's significant contributions at the UN, including constituent bodies over the recent years ( besides peacekeeping, security council....) ?
  
  If anybody knows. pls tell me. Thanks
  
  Regards

  Although small in size, Singapore has made major contribution with the talents of Singaporeans like:
  
  Dr Tommy Koh
  Dr Kishore Mahbubani
  Dr Chan Heng Chee
  
  all of whom had served as Singapore's Ambassador to the UN.
  
  Dr Tommy Koh had chaired the Law of the Sea Conference, guiding the many conflicting self-interests of so many member countries, to finally achieve an elaborate, sensible final agreement that was internationally accepted by all nations - big and small - in the conduct of relations with each other.
  
  This important piece of International Law gave as much protection over the economic and political interests of large nations, as well as that of smaller nations, over the wealth in the large expanse of open sea, as well as to the rights of passage through territorial waters that are narrow and enclosed.
  
  The United Nations also sponsors or support the following bodies in which Singapore is also an active member of:-
  
  SECURITY COUNCIL
  DISARMAMENT AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
  WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
  ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
  INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND
  NON-ALIGNED MOVEMENT

  And with the aim of fostering closer and more direct ties with the UN Office in New York, the United Nations Association of Singapore or UNAS for short, has plans for the establishment of a Permanent Secretariat office in Singapore this year.
  
  The establishment of a permanent office will serve as a gateway for better and more cooperation projects between both the NY UN Headquater and local UNAS body.
  
  For more information about UNAS or on-going projects, please refer to the website http://www.unas.org.sg for more information.
  
  Interested parties can also sign up as either Ordinary members or Associate members. Details are availible on the webpage given as above.
