Agenda item 158
Establishment of the International Criminal Court
Report of the Sixth Committee (A/57/565)
The President
I now call on the representative of the United States, who wishes to speak in explanation of position before action is taken on the draft resolution.
Mr. Martinez (United States)
For the reasons set forth in its statement of 14 October during the consideration of this agenda item by the Sixth Committee, the United States is unable to join in the consensus on the adoption of this draft resolution. We therefore will not participate in the adoption of this draft resolution.
The President
The Assembly will now take a decision on the draft resolution recommended by the Sixth Committee in paragraph 10 of its report.
The Sixth Committee adopted the draft resolution without a vote. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to do likewise?
The President
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 158?
