Recognizing the outstanding service which he rendered to the Organization during his tenure of office not only by his leadership in developing programmes to combat hunger and poverty, but also by inspiring the Organization with a vision of service that has never dimmed,
Appreciating his dedication to efforts to ensure and secure peace by removing the injustices of hunger and poverty wherever they existed, for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1949, ant thus 0a contribution to humanity at large,
1. Wishes to have a copy of this resolution sent to Lord Boyd Orr's widow, Lady Boyd Orr;
2. Expresses the deep sense of loss of the Organization at the passing of a worldwide figure who made such a significant contribution to human welfare;
3. Decides to create a new and permanent FAO activity dedicated to the memory of Lord Boyd Orr;
