I call on the representative of Spain on a point of order.
Mr. Fernández (Spain)
This morning we told the Secretariat that the text that appears in operative paragraph 2 (d) of draft resolution IV is not the text which was agreed on. We thought that that correction was going to be referred to by the Rapporteur, and we would appreciate a clarification of this matter.
The President
I call on the representative of Sudan as Rapporteur of the Third Committee.
Mr. Mohamed (Sudan)
The representative of Spain is quite right. I am sorry that we missed this correction.
I shall now read out the correct text of operative paragraph 2 (d) of draft resolution IV:
