Agenda item 3 (continued)
Credentials of representatives to the fifty-first session of the General Assembly
(b) First report of the Credentials Committee (A/51/548)
The President
The draft resolution recommended by the Credentials Committee in paragraph 19 of its first report (A/51/548) 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 19 of its first report.
I call on the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran for an explanation of vote before the voting. May I remind delegations that explanations of vote are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Al-Habib (Iran)
My delegation would like to express its reservations regarding those parts of the first report of the Credentials Committee, contained in document A/51/548, on the credentials of Israel.
In line with the position of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the issue, my delegation wishes to dissociate itself from the parts of the said report referring to the approval of the credentials of Israel.
The President
We have heard the only speaker in explanation of vote before the voting.
We shall now take action on the recommendation of the Credentials Committee set forth in paragraph 19 of its first report. 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 now call on the representative of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, who wishes to explain his delegation's position on the resolution just adopted. May I remind delegations that explanations of vote are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Matri (Libya)
I should like to indicate that the fact that my delegation did not object to the first report of the Credentials Committee in document A/51/548 in no way implies recognition of the credentials of the delegation of Israel.
The President
We have heard the only speaker in explanation of vote.
We have thus concluded this stage of our consideration of sub-item (b) of agenda item 3.
