Greetings from the Desk of The Permanent Representative
H.E. Paulette A. Bethel Ph.D. Ambassador & Permanent Representative
We have put much thought into the design of our Website and we have done a great
deal of research to determine what information might be of interest to our
prospective visitors. We sincerely
hope that we have accurately gauged, at least to some extent, your interests and
that the Website will be a useful tool in accessing information on the Permanent
Mission of The Bahamas to the United Nations, as well as on other matters
concerning our country. The Bahamas
became a Member State of the United Nations some thirty years ago, shortly after
attaining Independence on July 10, 1973. We
have continued to support the United Nations over the years and have always
endeavored to be actively engaged in its work and development. You will find at this site comprehensive
information on the activities of the Permanent Mission within the various
Committees and bodies of the United Nations.
The Bahamas
has always been and continues to be a keen advocate of multilateralism. Hence, we are active participants not
only in the United Nations, but also in other international fora such as the
Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the Commonwealth, and the Organization of
American States (OAS). You will
note, therefore, that information and links to these bodies are also provided
herein. On the
homefront, there are numerous links to governmental, quasi-governmental, and
non-governmental bodies in The Bahamas itself which will provide you with a
plethora of information on the country we proudly call home. We hope that
you enjoy your sojourn through our pages and would invite you to submit any
comments or inquiries you may wish to us at mission@bahamasny.com. Thank you for
your interest in The Bahamas as expressed through this Website visit, and we
hope that you will also arrange to visit our beautiful islands in the not too
distant future. Ambassador & Permanent Representative of The Permanent Mission of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas to the United Nations
