Adoption of the agenda
The situation in the Central African Republic
Report of the Secretary-General pursuant to resolution 1152 (1998) concerning the situation in the Central African Republic (S/1998/148 and Add.1)
The President
I should like to inform the Council that I have received a letter from the representative of the Central African Republic 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.
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 report of the Secretary-General pursuant to resolution 1152 (1998) concerning the situation in the Central African Republic, documents S/1998/148 and Addendum 1.
Members of the Council also have before them document S/1998/231, 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 the following documents: S/1998/219, letter dated 11 March 1998 from the Permanent Representative of the Central African Republic to the United Nations addressed to the President of the Security Council, transmitting a letter of the same date from the President of the Central African Republic to the President of the Security Council; S/1998/221, letter dated 11 March 1998 from the Secretary-General addressed to the President of the Security Council, transmitting a letter dated 9 March 1998 from the Chairman of the International Monitoring Committee established pursuant to the mandate of the Inter-African Mission to Monitor the Implementation of the Bangui Agreements (MISAB), transmitting the report of the Member States participating in MISAB to the Security Council pursuant to resolution 1152 (1998); and S/1998/233, letter dated 13 March 1998 from the Permanent Representative of Gabon to the United Nations addressed to the President of the Security Council, transmitting a letter of the same date from the President of the Gabonese Republic to the President of the Security Council.
It is my understanding that the Security Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution (S/1998/231) before it. If I hear no objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.
There being no objection, it is so decided.
