LETTER DATED 12 JANUARY 2015 FROM THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ADDRESSED TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Despite the overall progress, there
are still regions where safe burials are not carried out. Improved geogr aphical
coverage and greater mobility of safe burial teams are needed. In addition, portions
of the population remain sceptical about safe and dignified burials, which leads
them to carry out clandestine, unsafe burials. (...) Similarly, there are
enough burial teams in place to ensure safe and dignified burials in 100 per cent of
all deaths due to Ebola.

circle is a symbol of Sun, Heaven and Eternity; hence, circular temples, sepulchers, burial mounds,
etc. It may be assumed that the Samangan temple-fire altar was a Zoroastrian cult erection. (...) In considering that Zoroastrianism is based on astral cults, especially the cult of Sun, all ancient
ground-based erections of Aryans were noted for circular planning: Arkaim sites of the 17-15
centuries B.C. and their burial mounds,10 Dashly site-3 and particularly temples in Northern Bactria,11
