The situation in Angola

The meeting was called to order at 10.05 a.m.

Adoption of the agenda

The agenda was adopted.

The situation in Angola

The President

In accordance with the understanding reached in the Council's prior consultations, and in the absence of objection, I shall take it that the Security Council agrees to extend an invitation under rule 39 of its provisional rules of procedure to Mr. Kenzo Oshima, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator.

It is so decided.

I invite Mr. Oshima to take a seat at the Council table.

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.

At this meeting the Security Council will hear a briefing by Mr. Kenzo Oshima, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator.

May I remind the Council that the background to this meeting is that the Council continues to await with great interest the report by the Secretary-General following the recent inter-agency mission to Angola. Since that report has been held up, the Council recently agreed with the Secretary-General's recommendation that the mandate of the United Nations Office in Angola should be rolled over for one month upon its expiry on 15 July. We expect that a full discussion of Angola will be arranged by the United States presidency in August in good time for the new mandate renewal date.

But given the urgency of the humanitarian situation, Council members felt that it would be useful to have a briefing from Mr. Oshima, who has also visited Angola recently, without waiting for the fuller discussion next month. Mr. Oshima has kindly found time in a very busy schedule. We will not be able to detain him more than about an hour, but I hope that following his initial presentation, there will be time for a brief question-and-answer session. Those Council members who wish to take the floor in that sense should so indicate to the Secretariat from now on.

I give the floor to Mr. Oshima.

Mr. Oshima (Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator) --> -->
