Adoption of the agenda

The agenda was adopted.

Consideration of the draft report of the Security Council to the General Assembly

The President

The Security Council will now proceed to the consideration of its annual report to the General Assembly, the draft of which has been prepared by the Secretariat.

Members of the Council have received copies of the draft report of the Security Council to the General Assembly for the period from 1 August 2003 to 31 July 2004, as circulated by the Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs on 31 August 2004, and a corrigendum thereto.

I should like to express appreciation to the Secretariat for the work it has undertaken in preparing this factual report and in a timely manner.

I now call on Mr. Kalomoh, Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs, to make an explanatory statement.

Mr. Kalomoh (Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs)

It gives me great pleasure to present to the Council the draft annual report of the Security Council for the period 1 August 2003 to 31 July 2004, to be submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to Article 24, paragraph 3, of the United Nations Charter, which has been prepared by the Secretariat in line with the revised format agreed upon by the Security Council in 2002.

The format of the draft report before the Council provides a guide to the activities of the Council in a concise manner. In this connection, I should like to note that this is the third report prepared in accordance with the provisions of the note by the President of the Security Council of 22 May 2002 (S/2002/199), which were aimed at enhancing the quality of the report and accommodating the views expressed in the previous format.

Of particular interest is the introduction to the report, which contains an analytical summary of the work of the Council for the period covered by the report.

A corrigendum containing changes made by some Council members is also before the Council.

I believe and hope that Council members will find the report helpful.

The President

May I take it that the draft report, as corrected, is adopted by the Council?

There being no objection, it is so decided.

This decision will be reflected in a note by the President of the Security Council, to be issued as document S/2004/743.

The Security Council has thus concluded its consideration of the item on its agenda.

The meeting rose at 10.20 a.m.
