Gamani Corea, Former UNCTAD Secretary General: an Appreciation

This afternoon, I have the sad honour of paying tribute to my distinguished predecessor, Deshamanya Gamani Corea, who died earlier this month. His passing is a great loss to us. He was a true warrior for the weak and disadvantaged, and the tribute we pay to him today only underscores the continuing importance of his life’s work, and the lamentable reality that much of what he fought for remains unfulfilled.
