Adoption of the agenda
Admission of new Members
Report of the Committee on the Admission of New Members concerning the application of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for admission to membership in the United Nations (S/2000/1051)
The President
Under the item on its agenda, the Security Council will now begin its consideration of the report of the Committee on the Admission of New Members concerning the application of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for admission to membership in the United Nations, which appears in document S/2000/1051.
In paragraph 3 of the report, the Committee recommends to the Council that it should have recourse to the provision of the last paragraph of rule 60 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure in order to present its recommendation to the General Assembly at its fifty-fifth session. If I hear no objection, I shall take it that the Council wishes to waive the time limits set forth in the penultimate paragraph of rule 60.
There being no objection, it is so decided.
In paragraph 4 of the report, the Committee recommends to the Security Council the adoption of a draft resolution on the application of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for admission to membership in the United Nations. I should like to congratulate the Committee on its unanimous decision to recommend that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia be admitted to membership in the United Nations.
In accordance with the understanding reached in prior consultations among members of the Council, I propose that the Council adopt the draft resolution contained in paragraph 4 of the report of the Committee on the Admission of New Members without a vote.
As I see no objection, it is so decided.
I therefore declare that the draft resolution contained in paragraph 4 of the report of the Committee on the Admission of New Members (S/2000/1051) has been adopted without a vote as resolution 1326 (2000).
I shall immediately convey the decision of the Security Council recommending the admission of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to membership in the United Nations to the Secretary-General for transmittal to the General Assembly in accordance with rule 60 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure.
I shall now make a statement, in my capacity as President of the Security Council, on behalf of the members of the Council:
“The Security Council has decided to recommend to the General Assembly that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia be admitted as a Member of the United Nations.
“On behalf of the members of the Security Council, I wish to extend my congratulations to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on this historic occasion. The Council notes with great satisfaction the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia’s solemn commitment to uphold the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and to fulfil all the obligations contained therein. We look forward to the day in the near future when the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia will join us as a Member of the United Nations and to working closely with its representatives.”
This statement will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/2000/30.
The Council has thus concluded its consideration of the matter before it.
Before adjourning the meeting, let me take this opportunity, in my capacity as representative of Namibia, to express, on behalf of my colleagues and my delegation, our gratitude to the members of the Council for the cooperation and support they have rendered during the presidency of Namibia this month. It was an experience. Indeed, it was a challenge for Namibia, but, indeed, with the support and cooperation of the members of the Security Council and the Member States in general, we were able to fulfil our mission successfully. Once again, thank you for your support.
