The President: Mr. Kerim (The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia)
In the absence of the President, Mr. lkin (Turkey), Vice-President, took the Chair.
The meeting was called to order at 10.15 a.m.

Agenda item 132 (continued)

Scale of assessments for the apportionment of the expenses of the United Nations

Report of the Fifth Committee (A/62/478)
The Acting President

If there is no proposal under rule 66 of the rules of procedure, may I take it that the General Assembly decides not to discuss the report of the Fifth Committee that is before the Assembly today?

It was so decided.
The Acting President

Statements will therefore be limited to explanations of vote.

The positions of delegations regarding the recommendation of the Fifth Committee have been made clear in the Committee and are reflected in the relevant official records.

May I remind members that under paragraph 7 of decision 34/401, the General Assembly agreed that,

"When the same draft resolution is considered in a Main Committee and in plenary meeting, a delegation should, as far as possible, explain its vote only once, i.e., either in the Committee or in plenary meeting, unless that delegation's vote in plenary meeting is different from its vote in the Committee."

May I remind delegations that, also in accordance with General Assembly decision 34/401, explanations of vote are limited to 10 minutes.

Before we begin to take action on the recommendation contained in the report of the Fifth Committee, I should like to advise representatives that we are going to proceed to take a decision in the same manner as was done in the Fifth Committee.

The Assembly will now take a decision on the draft resolution, recommended by the Fifth Committee in paragraph 6 of its report. The Committee adopted the draft resolution, entitled "Scale of assessments for the apportionment of the expenses of the United Nations: requests under Article 19 of the Charter", without a vote. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to do the same?

The draft resolution was adopted (resolution 62/1).
The Acting President

The Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 132.

Agenda items 74 and 75

Report of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Genocide and Other Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of Rwanda and Rwandan Citizens Responsible for Genocide and Other Such Violations Committed in the Territory of Neighbouring States between 1 January and 31 December 1994

Note by the Secretary-General transmitting the twelfth annual report of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (A/62/284)

Report of the International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia since 1991

Note by the Secretary-General transmitting the fourteenth annual report of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (A/62/172)
The Acting President

May I take it that the Assembly takes note of the twelfth annual report of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda?

It was so decided.
The Acting President

May I take it that the Assembly takes note of the fourteenth annual report of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia?

It was so decided.
The Acting President

I now call on Mr. Dennis Byron, President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.

Mr. Byron (International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda) --> -->
