ZDRUŽENI NARODI

4. marca 2003

Ekscelenca,

čast imam sklicevati se na vaše pismo z dne 19. novembra 2002, v katerem se Vlada Republike Slovenije (v nadaljevanju “vlada“) strinja, da bo gostiteljica Konference Združenih narodov o vseh vidikih nezakonitega trgovanja z osebnim in lahkim orožjem v Jugovzhodni Evropi (v nadaljevanju “konferenca“), ki bo potekala na Brdu pri Kranju, Republika Slovenija, od 10. do 12. marca 2003. Konferenca je sklicana v skladu z Akcijskim programom za preprečevanje vseh vidikov nezakonitega trgovanja z osebnim in lahkim orožjem, boj proti njim in njihovo izkoreninjenje (Dokument ZN A/CONF.192/15), ki ga je Konference Združenih narodov o vseh vidikih nezakonitega trgovanja z osebnim in lahkim orožjem v Jugovzhodni Evropi sprejela v New Yorku 20. julija 2001. Konferenca bo potekala v hotelu Kokra na Brdu pri Kranju.

Združeni narodi, ki jih predstavlja Oddelek za razorožitev prek svoje regionalne podružnice za razorožitev (v nadaljevanju “Združeni narodi“), ki bo organizirala konferenco v sodelovanju z vlado Slovenije, ki jo predstavlja Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve (v nadaljevanju“vlada“), in Organizacija za varnost in sodelovanje v Evropi, ki jo predstavlja Center za preprečevanje sporov (v nadaljevanju“OVSE“), bi ob tej priložnosti vladi radi izrazili svojo hvaležnost za ponudbo, da bo gostila konferenco.

Pričakuje se, da bo na konferenci sodelovalo približno 70 udeležencev, vključno z uradniki Združenih narodov, vladnimi predstavniki iz Jugovzhodne Evrope, drugimi zainteresiranimi državami, predstavniki mednarodnih vladnih organizacij, specializiranih in drugih podobnih agencij ZN ter predstavniki civilne družbe. Predlog dnevnega reda konference je priložen.

Ker konferenco skupaj organizirajo Združeni narodi in OVSE, se z ločeno izmenjavo pisem med ZN in OVSE uredi več finančnih in praktičnih vprašanj.

Rad bi predlagal, da za konferenco veljajo ti pogoji:

1. Vlada prevzame stroške in storitve v zvezi s:

a) konferenčno dvorano, dvorano za srečanje in potrebnimi pisarniškimi prostori;
