Agenda item 108
Measures to eliminate international terrorism
Report of the Sixth Committee (A/62/455)
The Acting President
The Assembly has before it a draft resolution recommended by the Sixth Committee in paragraph 11 of its report.
I give the floor to the representative of Canada.
Mr. Adsett (Canada)
As colleagues know, when the draft resolution on measures to eliminate international terrorism was adopted in the Sixth Committee, the representative of Uganda took the floor after its adoption to propose that another organization -- the East African Community -- be added to the list of organizations in the twenty-first preambular paragraph. I subsequently received a written request from the representative of Kenya to make that addition.
On 26 November, I sent an e-mail and faxes to all missions proposing that the East African Community be added and indicating that I would make that proposal in plenary unless any delegation objected by 3 December 2007.
I have received no objection to the proposal, and it is my understanding that delegations agree to the addition of the East African Community in the twenty-first preambular paragraph. I would therefore propose that the draft resolution be amended with that addition and that it be adopted, as it was in the Sixth Committee, without a vote.
The Acting President
The representative of Canada has submitted an oral amendment to the draft resolution recommended by the Sixth Committee in paragraph 11 of its report. In accordance with rule 90 of the rules of procedure, the Assembly shall first take a decision on the amendment submitted by the representative of Canada. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to adopt the oral amendment submitted by the representative of Canada?
The Acting President
Since the oral amendment submitted by the representative of Canada has been adopted, we will now proceed to the draft resolution, as orally amended.
The General Assembly will now take a decision on the draft resolution, as orally amended. The Sixth Committee adopted the draft resolution without a vote. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to adopt the draft resolution, as orally amended, without a vote?
The Acting President
The General Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 108.
