The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (S/1999/670)
The President
I should like to inform the Council that I have received letters from the representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany and Italy, in which they request 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 those representatives 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 on the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina, dated 11 June 1999, document S/1999/670. Members of the Council also have before them document S/1999/688, which contains the text of a draft resolution submitted by Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America.
I should like to draw the attention of the members of the Council to the following documents: S/1999/243 and S/1999/253, letters dated 7 and 8 March 1999, respectively, from the Chargé d’affaires ad interim of the Permanent Mission of Yugoslavia to the United Nations addressed to the President of the Security Council; S/1999/270, letter dated 11 March 1999 from the Chargé d’affaires ad interim of the Permanent Mission of Yugoslavia to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General; S/1999/263, letter dated 9 March 1999 from the Permanent Representative of Germany to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General; S/1999/524, letter dated 6 May 1999 from the Secretary-General addressed to the President of the Security Council, transmitting a letter dated 5 May 1999 from the High Representative for Implementation of the Peace Agreement on Bosnia and Herzegovina addressed to the Secretary-General, and the enclosed report; and S/1999/642, letter dated 3 June 1999 from the Secretary-General addressed to the President of the Security Council, transmitting a letter dated 3 June 1999 from the Secretary-General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) addressed to the Secretary-General, and the enclosed report.
It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to vote on the draft resolution (S/1999/688) 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.
