Agenda item 3 (continued)
Credentials of representatives to the fifty-ninth session of the General Assembly
(b) Report of the Credentials Committee
Report of the Credentials Committee (A/59/602)
The President
The General Assembly has before it a report of the Credentials Committee, containing a draft resolution recommended by the Committee in paragraph 11 of its report.
The draft resolution reads as follows:
"The General Assembly,
"Having considered the report of the Credentials Committee and the recommendation contained therein,
"Approves the report of the Credentials Committee."
The General Assembly will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution recommended by the Credentials Committee in paragraph 11 of its report. The Credentials Committee adopted the draft resolution without a vote. May I consider that the General Assembly wishes to do the same?
The President
I call on the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who wishes to speak in explanation of position on the resolution just adopted. I remind delegations that explanations of vote or position are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Sadeghi (Iran)
My delegation joined the consensus on the resolution just adopted. However, I would like to express the reservations of my delegation on those parts of the report contained in document A/59/602 which may be construed as recognition of Israel.
The President
We have heard the only speaker in explanation of position.
The General Assembly has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of sub-item (b) of agenda item 3.
