Agenda item 120 (continued)

Scale of assessments for the apportionment of the expenses of the United Nations (Article 19 of the Charter) (A/50/888/Add.7)

The President

I should like to draw the General Assembly's attention to document A/50/888/Add.7.

In a letter contained in that document, the Secretary-General informs me that, since the issuance of his communications dated 28 February, 6 March and 3, 11, 16, 23 and 25 April 1996, Bolivia has made the necessary payment to reduce its arrears below the amount specified in Article 19 of the Charter.

May I take it that the General Assembly duly takes note of this information?

It was so decided.

Agenda item 8 (continued)

Adoption of the agenda and organization of work

Request for the reopening of the consideration of agenda item 17 (b) (Appointments to fill vacancies in subsidiary organs and other appointments: appointment of members of the Committee on Contributions) Note by the Secretary-General (A/50/952)
The President

In his note contained in document A/50/952, the Secretary-General informs the General Assembly that he has received notification of the resignation of Mr. Yuri Chulkov, Russian Federation, from the membership of the Committee on Contributions and that the Assembly will therefore be required at its current session to appoint a person to fill the unexpired portion of the term of office of Mr. Chulkov, that is, until 31 December 1996.

In order to enable the General Assembly to take the required action, it will be necessary to reopen consideration of sub-item (b) of agenda item 17, entitled "Appointment of members of the Committee on Contributions".

May I take it that the General Assembly, on the proposal of the Secretary-General, wishes to reopen consideration of sub-item (b) of agenda item 17?

It was so decided.
The President

Members will recall that, at its 3rd plenary meeting, on 22 September 1995, the Assembly allocated this sub-item to the Fifth Committee.

May I take it that the Assembly again wishes to allocate this sub-item to the Fifth Committee?

It was so decided.
The President

The Chairman of the Fifth Committee will be informed of the decision just taken.

Agenda item 7 (continued)

Notification by the Secretary-General under Article 12, paragraph 2, of the Charter of the United Nations

Note by the Secretary-General (A/50/442/Add.1)

The President

As members are aware, in accordance with the provisions of Article 12, paragraph 2, of the Charter of the United Nations and with the consent of the Security Council, the Secretary-General is mandated to notify the General Assembly of matters relative to the maintenance of international peace and security that are being dealt with by the Security Council and of matters with which the Council has ceased to deal.

Members will recall that the Assembly took note of the note by the Secretary-General on agenda item 7 contained in document A/50/442 at its 98th plenary meeting, on 22 December 1995.

In this connection, the General Assembly has before it a note by the Secretary-General issued as document A/50/442/Add.1.

May I take it that the Assembly takes note of that document?

It was so decided.
