The President
Members will recall that at its 3rd plenary meeting, on 17 September 1999, the General Assembly decided that agenda item 109 would be considered directly in plenary meeting, for the sole purpose of taking action on the draft resolution entitled "Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women", which was recommended to the General Assembly for adoption by the Economic and Social Council in its resolution 1999/13 of 28 July 1999, on the understanding that this would not set a precedent. The draft resolution has been issued as document A/54/L.4.
The Assembly will now take a decision on draft resolution A/54/L.4, entitled "Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women".
May I take it that the Assembly decides to adopt draft resolution A/54/L.4?
The President
The Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 109.
