Agenda item 92
Review of the implementation of the recommendations and decisions adopted by the General Assembly at its tenth special session
Report of the First Committee (A/61/396)
The Acting President
The Assembly has before it two draft resolutions recommended by the First Committee in paragraph 9 of its report.
I give the floor to the representative of the United States, who wishes to speak in explanation of position before the voting.
Ms. Barnes (United States)
My delegation would like to announce that it will not participate in the action about to be taken on draft resolution A/C.1/61/L.11, entitled "Report of the Disarmament Commission".
The Acting President
We will now take a decision on draft resolutions I and II.
We turn first to draft resolution I, entitled "Report of the Disarmament Commission".
The First Committee adopted draft resolution I without a vote. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to do the same?
The Acting President
Draft resolution II is entitled "Report of the Conference on Disarmament".
The First Committee adopted draft resolution II without a vote. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to do likewise?
The Acting President
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 92?
The Acting President
As there are still technical problems with the voting machine, we have decided to proceed to take action on those draft resolutions with regard to which recorded votes have not been requested. We will thus proceed to take action on draft resolutions under items 94, 95, 97, 110 and 118.
