Item 1 of the provisional agenda Opening of the session by the Chairman of the delegation of Guyana
The Temporary President
I declare open the forty-ninth session of the General Assembly.
Item 2 of the provisional agenda Minute of silent prayer or meditation
The Temporary President
Before calling on representatives to observe a minute of silent prayer or meditation in accordance with rule 62 of the rules of procedure, I propose that as we do so we also observe the International Day of Peace, on this third Tuesday of September, as proclaimed by the General Assembly in its resolution 36/67 of 30 November 1981, to be devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples.
I now invite representatives to stand and observe one minute of silent prayer or meditation.
Item 115 of the provisional agenda Scale of assessments for the apportionment of the expenses of the United Nations (Article 19 of the Charter) (A/49/400)
The Temporary President
Before turning to the next item on our agenda, I should like, in keeping with the established practice, to invite the attention of the General Assembly to document A/49/400, which has been circulated in the General Assembly Hall this afternoon. It contains a letter addressed to me by the Secretary-General in which he informs the Assembly that 14 Member States are in arrears in the payment of their financial obligations to the United Nations within the terms of Article 19 of the Charter.
I should like to remind delegations that, under Article 19 of the Charter,
"A Member of the United Nations which is in arrears in the payment of its financial contributions to the Organization shall have no vote in the General Assembly if the amount of its arrears equals or exceeds the amount of the contributions due from it for the preceding two full years."
May I take it that the General Assembly duly takes note of this information?
Item 3 of the provisional agenda Credentials of representatives to the forty-ninth session of the General Assembly (rule 28)
(a) Appointment of the members of the Credentials Committee
The Temporary President
Rule 28 of the rules of procedure provides that the General Assembly at the beginning of each session shall appoint, on the proposal of the President, a Credentials Committee consisting of nine members.
Accordingly, it is proposed that, for the forty-ninth session, the Credentials Committee should consist of the following Member States: China, Fiji, Honduras, Namibia, Portugal, the Russian Federation, Surinam, Togo and the United States of America.
May I take it that the States I have mentioned are hereby appointed members of the Credentials Committee?
Item 4 of the provisional agenda Election of the President of the General Assembly
The Temporary President
