BHMF visit Ground Zero

The BHMF has returned from a very successful visit to New York where we
represented the people of Brighton and Hove.

1- At the UN HQ, the BHMF took part in discussions on International
Migration and Development. The BHMF helped to formulate a number of
papers that were discussed at the full session of UN on 12th July.

2- The BHMF met with the team of Kings County District Attorney,
Charles J. Hynes. Here we discussed matters that may benefit our
community of Brighton and Hove. We looked at their impressive record on
crime reduction and the role their own community has played in this.
The BHMF hopes to work closely with our own Crown Prosecution Service
in order to see what part it may be able to play in improving things
within Brighton and Hove?

3- The BHMF also held meetings with community officers from the NYPD
(New York Police Department) and discussed their part in reducing crime
in the state of New York. We were explained their role and the role
played by community leaders. We were explained a number of ways that
have directly led to better relation between the police and their own
community.

4- On behalf of our Mayor (councillor David Smith) and the people of
Brighton, the BHMF placed flowers at the TWIN TOWERS (Ground Zero)
memorial.
This was a great honour for the BHMF to represent our city of Brighton
and Hove.  
Mayor Bloomberg's office greatly appreciated this gesture.

5- The BHMF is to write to the UN on ways the international community
can use the expats as willing partners to rebuild their countries or
origin. This idea recommended by the BHMF was well received by the
World Bank and a number or other organisations.
This proposal should be with Mr Kofi Annan soon.

BHMF Chairman Invited to UN Headquarters

The chairman of the BHMF, Tariq Jung, has been invited to the UN HQ in
New York.

This is in connection with his work for the BHMF on International
Migration and Development, which impressed the officials of the UN
resulting in him being invited to take part in discussions on the
subject.  There is a possibility that he may be asked to address the
delegates.

He will leave the UK on the 7th and returning on the 14th of July.

The chairman of the BHMF has also been invited to meet the team of the
District Attorney in New York. This meeting will focus on the Criminal
justice system and community policing.

This a great honour for the BHMF to represent the people of Brighton.

On his return Tariq Jung hopes to work closely with the Crown
prosecution service and with Sussex Police.

This will be a wonderful opportunity for the BHMF to learn from its
association with these organisations for the benefit of our own local
community of Brighton and Hove
This is yet another example of how the BHMF is working for the
community.
