<DIV>Dear All<BR><BR>The ILA Conference in Sofia was a great success. The Sustainable Development Committee had an excellent session and the Sofia Guiding Statements on the Judicial Elaboration of Sustainable Development (attached hereto) were adopted. Please use and disseminate them - I believe they are an important contribution to the debate.<BR><BR>... I want to thank colleagues for all their support over the years. It has been a huge privilege and can I thank Nico Schrijver and Ximena Fuentes especially as the other officers of the Committee. It was a real pleasure to welcome many of you to Sheffield in 2009 for an intersessional meeting. <BR>...</DIV>
