The situation in Georgia
Report of the Secretary-General concerning the situation in Abkhazia, Georgia (S/2000/39)
The President
The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations. Members of the Council have before them the report of the Secretary-General concerning the situation in Abkhazia, Georgia, document S/2000/39. Members of the Council also have before them document S/2000/56, which contains the text of a draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council's prior consultations.
I should like to draw the attention of the members of the Council to document S/2000/52, which contains the text of a letter dated 26 January 2000 from the Russian Federation, transmitting the decision of the Council of Heads of State of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) on further measures for the settlement of the conflict in Abkhazia, Georgia.
It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. If I hear no objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.
