Below is an obituary for Professor Donald Mills who died recently.
PROFESSOR DONALD Owen 'Don' Mills' extraordinary career in the public service made him the recipient of so many awards for exceptional service in international relations and diplomacy that it became a matter of course for him to be included on various lists of persons on whom local, national and international honours were being bestowed.
The Order of Jamaica from the Government, the honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of the West Indies (UWI), and the Norman Washington Manley Award for Excellence, were just three of the decorations that the former diplomat accepted in his lifetime.
In his public persona, under the designation of ambassador, he was at one time Jamaica's permanent representative to the United Nations (UN), and also served as leader of the Jamaican Mission to the United Nations Environmental Programme.
Among other international positions, he was president of the UN Security Council, president of the UN Economic and Social Council, and chairman of the Commonwealth Foundation. At home, he was appointed as a member of the Privy Council and of the Judicial Service Commission, and nominated to chair countless panel discussions.
