Introduction of reports of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (Fourth Committee)
The President
This morning the General Assembly will consider the reports of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (Fourth Committee) on agenda items 74, 75, 76 and 147, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82 and 18, 83 and 12, 84, 85, 86, 148 and 18.
I request the Rapporteur of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (Fourth Committee) to introduce the reports of the Committee in one intervention.
Mr. Ndiaye (Gabon)
I have the honour to submit for the General Assembly's consideration 15 reports of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (Fourth Committee) on agenda items 18, 74 to 86, 147 and 148.
The first report, on agenda item 74, entitled "Protection and security of small States", is contained in document A/49/616. The Fourth Committee devoted three meetings to consideration of this agenda item and heard 18 speakers in the general debate. The draft resolution appearing in paragraph 5 of the report was sponsored by 72 delegations and was adopted without a vote.
The second report, contained in document A/49/617, deals with agenda item 75, entitled "Effects of atomic radiation". The Fourth Committee considered the report of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation and, after hearing 12 speakers in the general debate, adopted a draft resolution sponsored by 44 delegations without a vote. The draft resolution appears in paragraph 6 of the report, and the Fourth Committee recommends it to the General Assembly for adoption.
The third report, contained in document A/49/618, relates to agenda items 76 and 147, entitled, respectively, "International cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space" and "Question of the review of the Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies". In view of the nature of these issues, the Fourth Committee considered them together in the course of four meetings and heard 23 speakers in the general debate. Among other things, the Committee endorsed the report of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. It also adopted two draft resolutions. The one on the enlargement of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space was adopted by a recorded vote. The one on both agenda items was adopted without a vote. The Committee recommends these two draft resolutions, appearing in paragraph 11 of the report, to the General Assembly for adoption.
The fourth report, contained in document A/49/619, is on agenda item 77, entitled "United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East". Twenty-seven speakers took part in the general debate. The Committee adopted seven draft resolutions on this item, dealing with various aspects of the mandate of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. The seven draft resolutions, lettered A to G, appear in paragraph 23 of the report, and the Committee recommends them to the General Assembly for adoption.
The fifth report, on agenda item 78, entitled "Report of the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories", is contained in document A/49/620. Twelve speakers took part in the general debate on this issue. The Committee adopted four draft resolutions, appearing in paragraph 16 of the report. The Fourth Committee recommends these four draft resolutions, lettered A to D, to the General Assembly for adoption.
The sixth report, on agenda item 79, "Comprehensive review of the whole question of peace-keeping operations in all their aspects", is contained in document A/49/621. The Fourth Committee devoted six meetings to consideration of this item and heard 55 speakers. The Committee adopted the draft resolution in paragraph 10 of the report.
The seventh report, on agenda item 80, "Questions relating to information", is contained in document A/49/622. After having heard 44 speakers, the Fourth Committee decided to consider at the same time the three drafts before it and to take action on them. The Committee adopted draft resolutions I and II, in paragraph 11, without a vote, as it did the draft decision in paragraph 12, as orally amended. The Fourth Committee recommends to the General Assembly the adoption of the draft resolutions and decision.
The eighth report, in document A/49/627, concerns agenda item 85, "Science and peace". The draft decision in paragraph 5, which was adopted without a vote, recommends to the General Assembly the deletion of the item "Science and peace" from its agenda. The Fourth Committee recommends to the General Assembly the adoption of the draft decision.
The ninth report, in document A/49/628, concerns agenda item 86, "Question of the composition of the relevant organs of the United Nations". The Committee decided to defer consideration of the agenda item until its fiftieth session, and its recommendation to the General Assembly to that effect is contained in paragraph 3 of the report.
The tenth report, in document A/49/630, concerns agenda item 148, "The situation in the occupied territories of Croatia". The draft resolution in paragraph 5 was adopted by the Fourth Committee by a recorded vote, and the Committee recommends to the General Assembly that it adopt the draft resolution.
The last five reports, in documents A/49/615 and 623 to 626, concern questions of decolonization under agenda items 18, 81, 82, 83 and 12, and 84. The Fourth Committee held a general debate on those items over six meetings and heard 24 speakers, 2 representatives of Non-Self-Governing Territories and 17 petitioners.
The eleventh report, in document A/49/623, concerns agenda item 81, "Information from Non-Self-Governing Territories transmitted under Article 73 of the Charter of the United Nations". The draft resolution is contained in paragraph 7 of the report, and the Committee recommends to the General Assembly the adoption of the draft resolution.
The twelfth report, in document A/49/624, concerns agenda item 82, "Activities of foreign economic and other interests which impede the implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples in Territories under colonial domination", and agenda item 18, "Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples". It contains in paragraph 9 a draft decision on military activities and arrangements by colonial Powers in Territories under their administration. The draft resolution on activities of foreign economic and other interests is contained in paragraph 8. The Committee recommends to the General Assembly the adoption of the draft resolution and the draft decision.
The thirteenth report, in document A/49/625, concerns agenda items 83 and 12, "Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples by the specialized agencies and the international institutions associated with the United Nations" and "Report of the Economic and Social Council," respectively. The Committee recommends to the General Assembly the adoption of the draft resolution contained in paragraph 7 of the report.
The fourteenth report, in document A/49/626, concerns agenda item 84, "Offers by Member States of study and training facilities for inhabitants of Non-Self-Governing Territories". The Committee recommends to the General Assembly the adoption of the draft resolution in paragraph 7 of the report.
The fifteenth and last report of the Fourth Committee, in document A/49/615, concerns Territories which were not covered by other agenda items. The Committee dealt with them within the framework of agenda item 18, "Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples". Paragraph 27 of the report contains four draft resolutions: draft resolution I, on Western Sahara; draft resolution II, on New Caledonia; draft resolution III, on American Samoa, Anguilla, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Guam, Montserrat, Tokelau, the Turks and Caicos Islands and the United States Virgin Islands; and draft resolution IV, on Tokelau. Three draft decisions, on Gibraltar, Pitcairn and St. Helena, respectively, are contained in paragraph 28 of the report. In adopting those draft resolutions and decisions, the General Assembly will reaffirm, inter alia, the inalienable right of the peoples of those Territories to self-determination and independence and will emphasize that it is in the final analysis up to the peoples of the Territories to determine freely their future political status in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Charter and of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Peoples and Countries. The Fourth Committee recommends to the General Assembly the adoption of the draft resolutions and decisions in paragraphs 27 and 28, respectively, of the report.
On behalf of the Fourth Committee I commend these reports to the General Assembly.
Before concluding, I should like sincerely to thank the Chairman of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (Fourth Committee), Mr. Borys Hudyma of Ukraine, and the two Vice-Chairmen, Mr. Utula Utuoc Samana of Papua New Guinea and Mr. Abelardo Moreno Fernández of Cuba, for their advice and wholehearted cooperation.
I should also like to express my gratitude to the members of the Fourth Committee, who cooperated with me throughout the session.
Lastly, I should like to thank the Secretary of the Committee, Mr. Ozdinch Mustafa, and all the members of the Committee's secretariat, for their assistance and for having thereby facilitated my task as Rapporteur of the Fourth Committee.
The President
If there is no proposal under rule 66 of the rules of procedure, I shall take it that the General Assembly decides not to discuss the reports of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee which are before the Assembly today.
The President
Statements will therefore be limited to explanations of vote.
The positions of delegations regarding the recommendations of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee have been made clear in the Committee and are reflected in the relevant Official Records.
May I remind members that under paragraph 7 of decision 34/410, the General Assembly agreed that:
"When the same draft resolution is considered in a Main Committee and in plenary meeting, a delegation should, as far as possible, explain its vote only once, that is, either in the Committee or in plenary meeting, unless that delegation's vote in plenary meeting is different from its vote in the Committee."
May I remind delegations that, also in accordance with General Assembly decision 34/410, explanations of vote are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Before we begin to take action on the recommendations contained in the reports of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee, I should like to advise representatives that we are going to proceed to take decisions in the same manner as was done in the Special Political and Decolonization Committee, unless the Secretariat has been notified otherwise. This means that where recorded votes were taken in the Committee, we will do the same.
I should also hope that we may proceed to adopt without a vote those recommendations of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee that were adopted without a vote in the Committee.

The President
In the resolution just adopted, the General Assembly decided:
"to expand the membership of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space from fifty-three to sixty-one, that is, by not more than two seats for each of the regional groups that had expressed interest in having a greater representation in the Committee, and to ask the President of the General Assembly, after consultations with the regional groups concerned, to appoint no more than eight new members of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space."
The President has been informed that the African States have endorsed Senegal and South Africa.
The President has also been informed that the Asian States have endorsed Kazakhstan and that, for the remaining seat, the Republic of Korea and Malaysia have mutually agreed on a system of rotation every two years, beginning with the Republic of Korea as of 1 January 1995.
The President has been further informed that the Latin American and Caribbean States have endorsed Nicaragua and that for the remaining seat Cuba and Peru have agreed on a system of rotation every two years, beginning with Cuba as of 1 January 1995.
Lastly, the President has been informed that the Western European and other States have decided to terminate the practice of rotating membership between Greece and Turkey, and between Portugal and Spain. Therefore, Greece, Portugal, Spain and Turkey will now be permanent members of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.
In the light of that information, the President has appointed Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Peru, the Republic of Korea, Senegal and South Africa as additional members of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, on the understanding that Cuba and the Republic of Korea will rotate every two years, as of 1 January 1995, with Peru and Malaysia, respectively.
May I take it that the Assembly takes note of those appointments?
The President
We now turn to draft resolution II, which is entitled "International cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space, including the question of the review of the Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies".
The Special Political and Decolonization Committee (Fourth Committee) adopted draft resolution II without a vote. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to do the same?
The President
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda items 76 and 147?
Agenda item 77
United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East: report of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (Fourth Committee) (A/49/619)
The President
The seven draft resolution recommended by the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (Fourth Committee) are contained in paragraph 23 of the report (A/49/619). Before putting them to the vote, I call on the representative of Lebanon, who has asked to speak in explanation of vote before the voting.
Mr. Moubarak (Lebanon)
My delegation will abstain in the vote on preambular paragraph 6 and paragraph 3 of draft resolution A, entitled "Assistance to Palestine refugees", because it has not been consulted as a member of the Consultative Committee of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)and because it has strong reservations on the transfer of UNRWA Headquarters to Gaza.
In supporting the draft resolutions submitted to us, my delegation has always been supportive of General Assembly resolution 194 (III) of 1948, relating to the right of return of Palestinian refugees. Many times in the past, and also during this current session of the General Assembly, Lebanon has consistently backed resolution 194 (III). Once again, we would like to reaffirm our solemn support of that resolution.
I underline clearly and categorically that the issue of the repatriation of Palestinian refugees is of basic and crucial importance to Lebanon. We categorically reject any attempt whatsoever to settle permanently in Lebanon Palestinians living on our soil. This constant position is embodied in the Lebanese Constitution, in accordance with the Taif Agreement of 1989. It represents a firm and unshakeable national consensus among all Lebanese.
Lebanon remains fully committed to the realization of the legitimate national aspirations of the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination.
The President
The Assembly will now take a decision on seven draft resolutions recommended by the Special Political and Decolonization Committee in paragraph 23 of its report (A/49/619). After all the votes have been taken, representatives will again have an opportunity to explain their votes or positions.
Separate, recorded votes have been requested on the last preambular paragraph and on paragraph 3 of draft resolution A, entitled "Assistance to Palestine refugees".
Is there any objection to this request? There is none. I shall therefore put these paragraphs to the vote first.
The Assembly will take a decision on the last preambular paragraph of draft resolution A.

The last preambular paragraph of draft resolution A was adopted by 163 votes to none, with 2 abstentions.
