Agenda item 80
Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction
Report of the First Committee (A/58/469)
The President
The Assembly will now take a decision on the draft resolution recommended by the First Committee in paragraph 8 of its report.
The First 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 80?
The President
Before we move to the next item on the agenda, I should like to announce that this will be the last General Assembly for Mr. Mohammad Sattar, Chief of the Disarmament and Decolonization Affairs Branch of the Department for General Assembly and Conference Management, and Secretary of the First Committee. Mr. Sattar has been with the United Nations for 28 years, and for the majority of that time has been associated with work on disarmament and the First Committee. His contribution to this field and to the First Committee has been truly significant, and I would like the Assembly to give him a round of applause in appreciation.
Having worked with him personally in the Decolonization Committee, I know that all Members will join me in wishing him all the best in the years to come.
