Expression of thanks to the retiring President

The President

As this is the first meeting of the Security Council for the month of July, I should like to take this opportunity to pay tribute, on behalf of the Council, to Ambassador Jean-David Levitte, Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations, for his service as President of the Security Council during the month of June. I am sure that I speak for all members of the Council in expressing deep appreciation to Ambassador Levitte for the great diplomatic skill with which he conducted the Council's business during June 2000.

Adoption of the agenda

The agenda was adopted.

The situation in Sierra Leone

Fourth report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (S/2000/455)
The President

I should like to inform the Council that I have received a letter from the representative of Sierra Leone, in which he requests to be invited to participate in the discussion of the item on the Council's agenda. In conformity with the usual practice, I propose, with the consent of the Council, to invite that representative to participate in the discussion, without the right to vote, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Charter and rule 37 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure.

There being no objection, it is so decided.

At the invitation of the President, Mr. Kamara (Sierra Leone) took a seat at the Council table.
The President

The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.

Members of the Council have before them the fourth report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone, document S/2000/455.

Members of the Council also have before them document S/2000/635 , which contains the text of a draft resolution submitted by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

I should like to draw the attention of the members of the Council to document S/2000/641, letter dated 29 June 2000, from the Permanent Representative of Sierra Leone addressed to the President of the Security Council.

I now give the floor to the representative of Sierra Leone.

Mr. Kamara (Sierra Leone) --> -->
