Agenda item 100
Measures to eliminate international terrorism
Report of the Sixth Committee (A/61/457)
The Acting President
The Assembly has before it a draft resolution recommended by the Sixth Committee in paragraph 11 of its report.
We will now take a decision on the draft resolution. The Sixth Committee adopted it without a vote. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to do the same?
The Acting President
I give the floor to the representative of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, who wishes to speak in explanation of position on the draft resolution just adopted.
Mr. Gómez González (Venezuela)
The delegation of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela joined the consensus on the draft resolution in paragraph 11 of the report of the Sixth Committee contained in document A/61/457, on measures to eliminate international terrorism. However, we would like to point out that in the twenty-first preambular paragraph, which refers to recent developments and initiatives at the regional and subregional level to prevent and suppress international terrorism, the reference to a military organization -- the North Atlantic Treaty Organization -- does not imply that the perspectives of such an organization should be accepted. Nor, in my delegation's opinion, should it set a precedent for future consideration of this very important issue. My delegation will continue to provide support in the quest for a global consensus that allows for concrete and concerted actions to combat international terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
The Acting President
The General Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 100.
