§ Mr. Archie HamiltonThe United Kingdom representative at the regular meetings of the United Nations military staff committee is a serving officer. A British Army major was attached to the United Nations field operations division in New York in the period between January 1989 and November 1990 to advise on logistic and other support aspects of peacekeeping and monitoring operations primarily, though not wholly, in connection with United Nations Transition Assistance Group Namibia. Military officers and officials from the Ministry of Defence have also visited the United Nations, particularly in connection with Namibia.
