Agenda item 3 (continued)
Credentials of representatives to the fiftieth session of the General Assembly
(b) First report of the Credentials Committee (A/50/559)
The President
The draft resolution recommended by the Credentials Committee in paragraph 10 of its first report (A/50/559) reads as follows:
"The General Assembly,
"Having considered the first report of the Credentials Committee and the recommendation contained therein,
"Approves the first report of the Credentials Committee."
We shall now proceed to consider the draft resolution recommended by the Credentials Committee in paragraph 10 of its first report.
I call on the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran for an explanation of vote before the voting.
Mr. Abolhassani Shahreza (Iran)
My delegation would like to express its reservations regarding paragraph 4 of the first report of the Credentials Committee, contained in document A/50/559, on the credentials of Israel.
For this reason, and in line with the position of my Government on the issue, my delegation wishes to dissociate itself from the part of the said report referring to the approval of the credentials of Israel.
The President
We shall now take action on the recommendation of the Credentials Committee set forth in paragraph 10 of its first report (A/50/559). The Credentials Committee adopted this draft resolution without a vote. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to do the same?
The President
I call on the representative of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, who wishes to explain the position of his delegation on the resolution just adopted.
Mr. Amer (Libya)
The fact that the delegation of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya did not object to the report of the Credentials Committee in document A/50/559 in no way implies recognition of the credentials of the Israeli's delegation.
Despite the recent developments regarding the Palestinian question, what is taking place now cannot be construed as forming the basis for a permanent or just solution. The solution could be achieved only on the basis of full recognition of all the rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among which are the rights to return to its land, to self-determination and to the establishment of a democratic State in Palestine with Al-Quds as its capital, where Arabs and Jews alike can live.
The President
We have heard the last speaker in explanation of position.
We have thus concluded this stage of our consideration of sub-item (b) of agenda item 3.
