Thank you very much for inviting as Guest of Honour at
the 2nd International Conference of Chief Justices of the
World on Article 51c of Constitution of India to be held
on Sunday 23rd December, 2001 at CMS Gomti Nagar auditorium,
India.
Eritrea believes that the main challenges of the world
could only be effectively addressed and peace and security
guaranteed, by the active resolute participation of the
International Community in World-Wide meant for its realization.
The aim of the Article 51 of the Constitution of India
and the aim of the consference as such being the the promotion
of International Peace and Security, directly coincides
with the cision and concern of my country, Eritrea, and
that of all well intentioned and peace loving peoples of
our planet. Peace and Security are prerequisites for the
survival of mankind and our own world.
Nevertheless, while appreciating your initiative and wishing
you success in this timely and very important endeavor,
I deeply regret my inability to accept your kind invitation
due to my preoccupation with official duties during that
period.
