studies, Mr. souliatis became an assistant professor at the Law School of Nice, a post which he held until 1977. At the same time he was a researcher at the French Centre for Scientific Research. In that capacity he participated in many round table discussions and seminars on international law. He also published a large number of articles in French journals on constitutional law, human rights, the law of the sea and international law. Among those articles, we might highlight many works on disarmament, such as on the legal status of the Disarmament Commission, chemical weapons, the first special session of the United Nations on disarmament and the deliberative bodies on disarmament and the Anglo-Greek Dictionary on Disarmament, to mention just a few. In 1977, Mr. souliatis joined the Foreign Ministry of Greece. Since 1978 he has been a member of the Greek delegation to every session of the General Assembly, in the course of which he has regularly been on the First Committee. He also participated in the two special sessions of the General Assembly on disarmament and in all the meetings of the Disarmament Commission. Bearing in mind all of these qualifications, it seems to me that Mr. souliatis is in the best possible position to fulfil the role of Rapporteur of the First Committee. I therefore nominate him for election to that post.

**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a candidate's qualifications and nomination for a position in a United Nations committee, specifically the First Committee, which is responsible for disarmament and international security. The candidate's background is in international law, and his work has focused on disarmament, human rights, and international law. This suggests that the category should be related to international relations, law, or security.
