Agenda item 8 (continued)
Organization of work of the fifty-eighth regular session of the General Assembly, adoption of the agenda and allocation of items
Second report of the General Committee (A/58/250/Add.1)
The President
I should like to draw the attention of representatives to the second report of the General Committee (A/58/250/Add.1), concerning a request by the Secretary-General for the inclusion in the agenda of an additional item, "Financing of the United Nations Mission in Liberia"; a request by the Netherlands for the inclusion in the agenda of an additional item, "Admission of the International Criminal Court to membership in the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund"; and a request contained in a letter dated 3 October 2003 from the Permanent Representative of Mexico to the United Nations, addressed to the President of the General Assembly, concerning the allocation of agenda item 108, "Crime prevention and criminal justice".
In paragraph 1 (a) of the report, the General Committee recommends to the General Assembly that an additional item, entitled "Financing of the United Nations Mission to Liberia", be included in the agenda of the current session. May I take it that the General Assembly decides to include this additional item in the agenda of the current session?
The President
In paragraph 1 (b), the General Committee recommends to the General Assembly that the additional item be allocated to the Fifth Committee. May I take it that the Assembly decides to allocate this item to the Fifth Committee?
The President
I should like to inform members that this item becomes agenda item 165.
In paragraph 2 (a) of the report, the General Committee recommends to the General Assembly that an additional item, entitled "Admission of the International Criminal Court to membership in the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund", be included in the agenda of the current session. May I take it that the General Assembly decides to include this additional item in the agenda of the current session?
The President
In paragraph 2 (b), the General Committee recommends to the General Assembly that the additional item be allocated to the Fifth Committee. May I take it that the Assembly decides to allocate this item to the Fifth Committee?
The President
I should like to inform members that this item becomes agenda item 166.
In paragraph 3 of the report, the General Committee recommends to the General Assembly that agenda item 108, "Crime prevention and criminal justice", also be considered directly in plenary meeting for the sole purpose of taking action on the draft United Nations Convention against Corruption.
May I take it that the General Assembly decides to also consider agenda item 108, "Crime prevention and criminal justice", directly in plenary meeting for the sole purpose of taking action on the draft United Nations Convention against Corruption?
The President
The Chairmen of the Third and Fifth Committees will be informed of the decisions just taken.
Agenda item 7
Notification by the Secretary-General under Article 12, paragraph 2, of the Charter of the United Nations
Note by the Secretary-General (A/58/354)
The President
As members are aware, in accordance with the provisions of Article 12, paragraph 2, of the Charter of the United Nations, and with the consent of the Security Council, the Secretary-General is mandated to notify the General Assembly of matters relative to the maintenance of international peace and security that are being dealt with by the Security Council and of matters which the Council has ceased to deal with.
In that connection, the General Assembly has before it a note by the Secretary-General issued as document A/58/354. May I take it that the Assembly takes note of that document?
The President
As we begin our consideration of the report of the Security Council, I believe it important to draw attention to relevant provisions of several resolutions of the Assembly, including resolutions 47/233, 48/264 and 51/241, on what the Assembly's approach to the report ought to be. These resolutions concern the revitalization of the General Assembly and reform issues generally. The practical effect of the relevant provisions of the resolutions is that they present specific courses of action the Assembly and, indeed, the President should take in considering the report of the Security Council.
For example, first, the resolutions encourage Member States to participate actively in the substantive and in-depth discussions on and consideration of the report of the Security Council, in order to fulfil the relevant provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, and, secondly, the President is asked to assess the debate on this item and consider the need for further consideration of the report. In light of this assessment, informal consultations might be undertaken to discuss the need and content of any action by the Assembly based on the debate.
I wish to remind the Assembly that this agenda item remains open -- I underscore, remains open -- to further discussion necessary during the year, including discussion on additional reports the Council may present to the General Assembly.
I would encourage delegations to keep in mind these matters, contained in resolutions that this Assembly adopted by consensus, as we address the Security Council's report.
Before I go any further, may I make again a very special request relating to cellular phones. Please keep your cellular phones on vibrate so as to allow speakers, and even myself in the Chair, to better follow what is taking place. It is most disruptive, when a speaker is at the rostrum, for cellular phones to sound off. You would not like it to happen when your representative is speaking, please do not do it to anybody else. I crave your indulgence in this particular matter.
I now give the floor to the President of the Security Council, Mr. John Negroponte, to introduce the report of the Council.
Mr. Negroponte (United States)
