Agenda item 7 (continued)
Organization of work, adoption of the agenda and allocation of items
Third report of the General Committee (A/61/250/Add.2)
The President
In its report, the General Committee recommends to the General Assembly that agenda item 68, entitled "Report of the Human Rights Council", be considered in plenary meeting and in the Third Committee, on the understanding that the Third Committee would consider and act on all recommendations of the Human Rights Council to the General Assembly, including those that deal with the Development of International Law in the field of human rights.
Taking into account this recommendation, the General Assembly plenary would consider the Annual Report of the Human Rights Council on its activities for the year, and also on the understanding that the division of work between them was agreed upon with the understanding that this arrangement is due to the fact that the Human Rights Council only commenced its work in June 2006.
It is also understood that the current arrangement is in no way a reinterpretation of Assembly resolution 60/251 and will be reviewed before the beginning of the sixty-second session, on the basis of the experience gained with the efficiency and practicality of this arrangement.
May I therefore take it that the General Assembly approves that recommendation?
The President
The Chairman of the Third Committee will be informed of the decision just taken by the General Assembly.
Agenda item 105(c); Documentation for the election of the members of the International Law Commission
The President
As was announced at the 38th meeting, on Friday, 20 October 2006, I would now like to consult the General Assembly on a matter concerning sub-item (c) of agenda item 105, on the election of the members of the International Law Commission, which has been scheduled to take place on Thursday, 16 November 2006.
On that day the Assembly will proceed to the election of 34 members of the Commission, whose terms of office are to commence on 1 January 2007. It should be recalled that, in accordance with the Statute of the International Law Commission, the Secretary-General communicated to the Governments of Member States, in documents A/61/92 and A/61/92/Corr.1, the list of candidates submitted within the required time for the submission of nominations, that is, by 1 June 2006, as well as a withdrawal in document A/61/92/Add.1. The statements of qualifications of the candidates are contained in documents A/61/111 and A/61/111/Corr.1, A/61/111/Corr.2 and A/61/111/Add.1.
Subsequent to that date, the Secretary-General received additional information on nominations concerning candidates, new candidates and a withdrawal. The names of the new candidates and additional information are to be found in documents A/61/92/Add.2 and A/61/92/Add.3.
Under those circumstances, it is necessary for the General Assembly to take a decision as to whether the new candidatures should be accepted in spite of the submission of their names subsequent to the deadline, and whether they should be incorporated into a consolidated list of candidates. It has been the practice of the Assembly to incorporate such late submissions into a consolidated list.
If I hear no objection, I shall take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to request the Secretary-General to issue such a consolidated list of candidates.
Letter from the Chairman of the Committee on Conferences addressed to the President of the General Assembly (A/61/320/Add.1)
The President
Document A/61/320/Add.1 contains a letter dated 19 October 2006 from the Chairman of the Committee on Conferences addressed to the President of the General Assembly. Members are aware that, pursuant to section 1, paragraph 7 of resolution 40/243, no subsidiary organ of the General Assembly should be permitted to meet at Headquarters during the main part of a regular session of the Assembly, unless explicitly authorized by the Assembly.
Authorization is therefore sought for the Executive Board of the International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women to hold one meeting in New York during the main part of the sixty-first session of the General Assembly, on the strict understanding that the meeting will have to be accommodated when facilities and services can be made available without adversely affecting the activities of the General Assembly and its Main Committees. It is also the understanding that everything possible will be done to ensure the most efficient use of conference services.
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to authorize the Executive Board of the International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women to meet during the main part of the sixty-first session of the General Assembly?
Agenda item 70
Report of the International Court of Justice
Report of the International Court of Justice (A/61/4)
Report of the Secretary-General (A/61/380)
The President
May I take it that the General Assembly takes note of the report of the International Court of Justice?
The President
In connection with this item, the Assembly also has before it the report of the Secretary-General on the Secretary-General's Trust Fund to Assist States in the Settlement of Disputes through the International Court of Justice, which has been circulated in document A/61/380.
I call on Ms. Rosalyn Higgins, President of the International Court of Justice.
Ms. Higgins (President of the International Court of Justice)
