Adoption of the agenda

The agenda was adopted.

The situation in Burundi

Fifth report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Operation in Burundi (S/2005/728)
The President

I should like to inform the Council that I have received a letter from the representative of Burundi, in which he requests to be invited to participate in the consideration 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 consideration, without the right to vote, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Charter and rules of procedure.

There being no objection, it is so decided.

At the invitation of the President, Mr. Nkingiye (Burundi) took a seat at the Council table.
The President

The Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda.

Members of the Council have before them the fifth report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Operation in Burundi, contained in document S/2005/728.

Members also have before them document S/2005/811, which contains the text of a draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council’s prior consultations.

I wish to draw the attention of members to document S/2005/736, which contains the text of a letter dated 23 November 2005 from the Chargé d’affaires ad interim of the Permanent Mission of Burundi to the United Nations addressed 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 before it. If I hear no objection, I shall now put the draft resolution to the vote.

There being no objection, it is so decided.
