Agenda item 58
Operational activities for development: operational activities for development of the United Nations system
Report of the Second Committee (A/61/427)
The Acting President
The Assembly has before it a draft resolution recommended by the Second Committee in paragraph 13 of its report.
I shall now call on those representatives who wish to explain their positions prior to the adoption of the draft resolution.
Mr. Terrazzani (Monaco)
My delegation regrets that it was not in a position to be a co-sponsor of the draft resolution entitled "Commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of the operations of the United Nations Children's Fund", which is contained in the report before us. The Principality of Monaco recognizes the importance of the work of UNICEF and will seek to strengthen our support for it. Children's issues are a priority for the Principality. I simply wanted to point that out.
Mr. Schneider (Germany)
Unfortunately, we missed the deadline for placing our name on the list of sponsors of the draft resolution on the commemoration of the operations of UNICEF. Germany would therefore like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the work of UNICEF, as well as to heartily congratulate the Fund on the occasion of its sixtieth anniversary. In that regard, we strongly support the draft resolution.
The Acting President
We will now take a decision on the draft resolution.
The Second Committee adopted the draft resolution recommended in paragraph 13 of its report, entitled "Commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of the operations of the United Nations Children's Fund". May I take it that the Assembly wishes to do likewise?
The Acting President
The General Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 58.
