Item 8 of the provisional agenda
Adoption of the agenda and organization of work
Letter dated 9 September 2002 from the Chairman of the Committee on Conferences to the President of the General Assembly (A/57/389)
The President
Members are aware that pursuant to section I, paragraph 7, of General Assembly resolution 40/243, no subsidiary organ of the General Assembly should be permitted to meet at United Nations Headquarters during the main part of a regular session of the Assembly unless explicitly authorized by the Assembly. Authorization is thus sought for the subsidiary organs listed in the letter contained in document A/57/389 -- Committee on Relations with the Host Country, the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, the Working Group on the Financing of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East, the Executive Board of the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Population Fund, the United Nations Children's Fund, the Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, and the Committee on Conferences -- on the strict understanding that meetings would have to be accommodated within available facilities and services.
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to authorize those subsidiary organs of the Assembly listed in the letter of the Chairman of the Committee on Conferences to meet during the main part of the fifty-seventh session of the General Assembly?
