The Acting President
I should like to inform representatives that, following consultations on this item, and taking into consideration General Assembly decision 50/406 of 31 October 1995, it is proposed that the General Assembly decide to postpone consideration of this item and to include it in the provisional agenda of its fifty-second session.
Mr. Dlamini (Swaziland)
While my delegation has no wish to comment on the way the Acting President has guided us, I should like to voice our concern over the item before us, which has been persistently postponed without clearly stated reasons being given to the General Assembly.
If I may request the courtesy of the presidency on behalf of my delegation, I would suggest that reasons be given so that, as delegates representing Member States, we will be in a position to know what to report back to our Governments. During our last report we mentioned the same thing -- that the issue had been postponed. Without clarification, however, this is frustrating for our participation, especially since the item was included by the General Committee in the agenda for the Assembly's consideration.
The Acting President
The General Assembly has taken note of the statement of the representative of Swaziland.
May I take it that the Assembly, taking into account decision 50/406, wishes to defer consideration of this item and to include it in the provisional agenda of its fifty-second session?
The Acting President
The General Assembly has thus concluded its consideration of agenda item 49.
