Adoption of the agenda
Threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts
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 document S/2008/182, which contains the text of a draft resolution submitted by Belgium, Burkina Faso, China, Costa Rica, Croatia, France, Italy, Panama, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America.
I wish to draw the attention of the members of the Council to document S/2008/80, which contains the text of a letter dated 7 February 2008 from the Chairman of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001), concerning counter-terrorism, addressed to the President of the Security Council.
It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. Unless I hear any objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.
There being no objection, it is so decided.
