The recommendation calls for the United Nations to re-establish that committee. From our perspective on this committee, we will encourage the Government to work to that end. In Professor Lynk's view, does our position on the Security Council, which is time limited, offer us an even greater opportunity to use our diplomatic power, and what is often referred to as "soft power" at the UN, to work towards bringing about the re-establishment of that committee?
