Tribute to the memory of His Excellency Mr. Heydar Alirza oglu Aliyev, late President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
The President
Before turning to the items on our agenda for this afternoon, may I, on behalf of all the Members of the General Assembly, extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Government and people of Azerbaijan, for the passing of the former President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, His Excellency Mr. Heydar Alirza oglu Aliyev.
I give the floor to the representative of Azerbaijan.
Mr. Aliyev (Azerbaijan)
On behalf of the delegation of Azerbaijan, I would like to express our deep and sincere appreciation to you, Sir, for your kind words of sympathy and compassion. Indeed, the passing away of a great statesman, the former President of Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev, is a great loss for the entire nation. Azerbaijan has lost one of its best sons, who devoted his whole life to serving his people and country, as well as strengthening the cause of peace and understanding between all the peoples of the world.
Postponement of the date of recess
The President
Before we proceed further, I would like to draw the attention of Members to the date of recess of the current session. Members will recall that at its 2nd plenary meeting, on 19 September 2003, the General Assembly decided that the fifty-eighth session would recess on Tuesday, 16 December 2003. However, in view of the work that remains to be done for this part of the session, I would like to propose to the Assembly that it postpone the date of recess of the current session to Monday, 22 December 2003.
If there is no objection, may I take it that the Assembly agrees to this proposal?
The President
Members will recall that the Assembly adopted a draft resolution under this item at its 34th meeting, on 16 October 2003. The Assembly held a debate on the agenda item at its 37th meeting, on 20 October. In connection with this item, the General Assembly has before it a draft resolution issued as document A/58/L.36.
I give the floor to the representative of Morocco to introduce, on behalf of the Group of 77 and China, draft resolution A/58/L.36.
Mr. Kadiri (Morocco)
I have the honour, on behalf of the Group of 77 and China, to introduce draft resolution A/58/L.36 entitled, "Report of the Committee for Development Policy". We should point out that the Committee for Development Policy in its report E/2003/33 concluded that Timor-Leste fulfilled the necessary conditions in order to be registered on the list of least developed countries and recommends its registration on that list. Furthermore, in its decision E/2003/280 adopted during the substantive session of 2003, the United Nations Economic and Social Council ratified that recommendation and decided to include Timor-Leste on the list of least developed countries, provided the Government of Timor-Leste accepts that decision. In this respect, the draft resolution under review, A/58/L.36, confirms that the Government of Timor-Leste has given its consent to be included in the list of least developed countries and otherwise endorses the recommendation of the United Nations Economic and Social Council. The Group of 77 and China would like draft resolution A/58/L.36 to be adopted by consensus.
Since the publication of the draft resolution, the following delegations have joined the list of sponsors: Germany, Ireland, Japan, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Republic of Korea and the United States of America.
The President
The Assembly will now take a decision on draft resolution A/58/L.36, entitled, "Report of the Committee for Development Policy".
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to adopt draft resolution A/58/L.36?
The President
The General Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 12.
Agenda item 17 (continued)
Appointments to fill vacancies in subsidiary organs and other appointments
(a) Appointment of members of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions
Report of the Fifth Committee (A/58/561/Add.1)
The President
