The President: Ms. Al-Khalifa (Bahrain)
The meeting was called to order at 10.20 a.m.

Agenda item 109

Implementation of the resolutions of the United Nations

The President

It is my understanding that there is no request to consider this item at the current session. May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to defer the consideration of this item to the sixty-second session and to include it in the provisional agenda of the sixty-second session?

It was so decided.
The President

That concludes our consideration of agenda item 109.

May I take it that it is the wish of the Assembly to appoint those persons as members of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions for a three-year term of office beginning 1 January 2007?
