Agenda item 47 (continued)
2001-2010: Decade to Roll Back Malaria in Developing Countries, Particularly in Africa
Draft resolution (A/60/L.44)
The President
Members will recall that the General Assembly held a debate on agenda item 47, jointly with agenda item 66 and its sub-items (a) and (b), at the thirty-first to thirty-third plenary meetings on 13 and 14 October.
I call on the representative of Rwanda to introduce draft resolution A/60/L.44.
Mr. Kamanzi (Rwanda)
On behalf of the African Group and all the sponsors, I have the honour to introduce, under agenda item 47, draft resolution A/60/L.44, entitled "2001-2010: Decade to Roll Back Malaria in Developing Countries, Particularly in Africa".
I should like to announce that, since the publication of the draft resolution, the following countries have become sponsors: Angola, Brazil, Djibouti, Egypt, Fiji, Finland, Gabon, Ghana, Lesotho, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Solomon Islands, the Syrian Arab Republic and Turkey.
Africa bears an overwhelming proportion of the malaria burden. The Secretary-General reports that "[u]p to 144 million people in Africa currently live in areas at risk of epidemic malaria" (A/60/208, para. 35). Epidemic malaria is the cause of up to 12 million malaria episodes and between 155,000 and 310,000 deaths per year among people of all ages in Africa alone. Malaria is, however, a disease that is preventable, treatable and curable. It is thus, in the effort to combat malaria as well as to implement the Millennium Development Goals, that the African Group has submitted the draft resolution entitled "2001-2010: Decade to Roll Back Malaria in Developing Countries, Particularly in Africa".
The draft resolution is an update of a similar resolution adopted last year on this issue. The draft resolution has been updated to take into account the new developments and measures to combat malaria.
My delegation wishes to thank the delegation of Tanzania for facilitating the negotiation of the text, and also all Member States that participated in the discussion on the draft resolution. Their contributions have enriched the draft resolution, the implementation of which will facilitate the eradication of that deadly disease. My delegation, in introducing the draft resolution, hopes that, as in previous years, it will be adopted by consensus.
Delegations may wish to be advised that the following revisions have been made to the draft resolution.
In operative paragraph 8, the word "and" should appear in the third line between the words "Malaria" and "through country-led initiatives", and a comma should be inserted after the words "adequate international support". The revised paragraph would read as follows:
"Calls upon the international community, inter alia, through helping to meet the financial needs of the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and through country-led initiatives with adequate international support, to create conditions for insecticide-treated mosquito nets, insecticides for indoor residual spraying for malaria control and effective antimalarial combination treatments to be fully accessible, including free distribution of such nets where appropriate;".
The President
The Assembly will now take a decision on draft resolution A/60/L.44, as orally revised.
May I take it that the General Assembly decides to adopt draft resolution A/60/L.44, as orally revised?
The President
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 47?
Agenda item 66 (continued)
New Partnership for Africa's Development: progress in implementation and international support
(a) New Partnership for Africa's Development: progress in implementation and international support
Draft resolution (A/60/L.16/Rev.1)
(b) Causes of conflict and the promotion of peace and sustainable development in Africa
Draft resolution (A/59/L.45)
The President
Members will recall that the General Assembly held a debate on agenda item 66 and its sub-items (a) and (b), jointly with agenda item 47, at the thirty-first to the thirty-third plenary meetings on 13 and 14 October.
The President
I give the floor to the representative of Jamaica to introduce draft resolutions A/60/L.16/Rev.1 and A/60/L.45.
Mrs. Mills (Jamaica)
