B REVIEWS OF NATIONAL IMPLEMENTING LEGISLATION
5. The Chairman said that, as regards the reviews of national implementing legislation that had been initiated at the Council's meetings since April 2001, there were three reviews that still remained on the Council's agenda. These reviews concerned Cuba; Fiji; and Saint Kitts and Nevis. He urged the delegations concerned to provide the outstanding material as soon as possible, so as to allow the Council to complete the follow-up to these reviews. 6. Turning to the arrangements for the review of Maldives' implementing legislation, he said that, at the meeting of the General Council on 14 December 2010, Maldives had informed Members that it would graduate from the United Nation's list of least developed countries as from 1 January 2011, as decided by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005.
