Letter dated 4 October 2007 from the Chairman of the Committee on Conferences addressed to the President of the General Assembly (A/62/338/Add.1)
The President
Before giving floor to the first speaker, I would like to invite the attention of the General Assembly to document A/62/338/Add.1, containing a letter dated 4 October 2007 from the Chairman of the Committee on Conferences addressed to the President of the General Assembly.
Members are aware that, pursuant to section I, paragraph 7, of Assembly resolution 40/243 of 18 December 1985, no subsidiary organ of the General Assembly should be permitted to meet at United Nations Headquarters during the main part of the regular session of the Assembly unless explicitly authorized by the Assembly.
Members will recall that, at its 1st plenary meeting of the sixty-second session, held on 18 September 2007, the General Assembly authorized a number of subsidiary organs to meet during the main part of the regular session of the Assembly.
Authorization is now sought for the Executive Board of the United Nations Development Programme and the United Nations Population Fund to hold one meeting during the main part of the sixty-second session of the General Assembly, on the strict understanding that the meeting would be accommodated within available facilities and services.
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to authorize the Executive Board of the United Nations Development Programme and the United Nations Population Fund to hold one meeting during the main part of the sixty-second session of the General Assembly?
