Before proceeding further, I would like to make an announcement concerning agenda item 105 (c) on the election of the members of the United Nations International Law Commission, which has been scheduled to take place on Thursday 16 November 2006. In order to facilitate the election, and in accordance with the established practice, the General Assembly will take an advance decision on the matter of requesting the Secretariat to issue a consolidated list of candidates reflecting all submissions and changes received so far. It is my intention to consult the Assembly in this regard on Thursday afternoon, 22 October 2006.
