Statement by His Excellency Dr. Lansana Gberie, Ambassador to Switzerland and Permanent Representative of Sierra Leone to the United Nations and other International Organisations in Geneva.
Sixty years ago today, Sierra Leone became a sovereign independent state, and joined the United Nations as its 100th member. Nine years later, Sierra Leone had the honour to be elected as a non-permanent member of the Security Council and became President of the Council for a month in September 1971.
With the support of the international community, including members of the West African Economic Community (ECOWAS), the United Nations, and many bilateral partners, Sierra Leone emerged from a civil war in 1990s and early 2000s more resilient and with stronger democratic governance institutions than before.
