Under agenda item 92, entitled "National experience in aChieving far-reaching soc lal and economic changes for the purpose of soc ial pcoqress·, the Thi cd Committee recommends the adoption of a draft resolution in paragr~ph 9 and a draft decision in paragraph 10 of its report (A/44/7Sl). Under item 93, entitled ·Policies and programmes involving youth·, the Third Committee recommends the adoption of a draft resolution in paragraph 7 of its l~port (A/44/752). Unde r item 94, anti tled "International Resea rch and Training Insti tut'! for the ~vancement of Women·, the Third Committee recommends the adoption of a draft resol ution in pa ragraph 7 of ita report (A/44/80l). In thiR connection, I shonld like to draw the attehtion of the Assembly t:o the last line of paraqraph 1 of the d[~ft resolution, on page 3 of the report. The word -designs· appearing in eauare brackets should be deleted. (lilt. Grolig, RapPOrteur, Third Committee) Under item 96, entitled -Alternative apprOllches and ways and means within the United Nations syst.em for improving the effective enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms·, the Third Committee recommends the adoption of four draft resolutions in paragraph 18 of its report (A/44/799). Under item 97, entitled llIInterreqional consultation on dev~lopmental social welfare policies and programmes·, the Third Oommittee recommends the adoPtion of two draft resolutions in paragraph 10 and a draft decision in paragraph 11 of its report (A/44/153). Under item 99, entit~led -~estion of aging·, the Third Oommittee recotm\ends the adoption of a draft resolution in paragraph 13 of its report (A/44/1S..). Under .ite1ll 100, entitled -Elimination of all foms of racial discrimination-, the Third COMmittee recommends the adoption of two draft resolutions in pa~agraph 15 of its repO~t (A/44/716). Un&!r item 101, entitled -Implementation of the World Programme of Action Ooncerninq Disabled Persons and the United Nations Decade of Disabled ~r8on8·, the Third Committee recommends the adoption of a draft resolution in paragraph 6 of its repo~t (A/44/1SS).

I should like to draw the attention of the Assembly to the fact that there is a technical error in this document. After the vote on draft resolution A/C.3/44/L.IO, entitled "Use of mercenaries as a means to violate human rights and to impede the exercise of. the fight of peoples to self-determination", some delegations gave explanations of their votes. This is not reflected in the report, which will be corrected accordingly. The following delegations made such eXPlanations of vote, Brazil, Australia, Malta, Norway - on behalf of Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden - Japan, Austria, Turkey, ~dan, El Salvador and Costa Rica. Finally, under agenda item 113, entitled "Families in the development process", the Third Committee recommends the adoPtion of a draft resol~tion in paragraph 8 of its report (A/44/757). The FRESID~T, If there is no proposal under rule 66 of the rules of procedure, I shall take it that the General Assembly decides not to discusR the reports of the Third Committee before the Assembly today. It ""as so decided. The PR~IDQITI Statements will therefore be limited to eXPlanations of vote. The positions of delegations regarding the various recommendations of t~e Third COmmittee have been made cl~r in the Committee and a.e reflected in the relevant off ic lal reco rds. (The President) I remind mem~rs that, under paragraph 7 of chcis ion 34/401, the General Assembly agreed that ·When the same draft resolution is considered in a Main Committee and in plenary meeting, a delegation should, as far as possible, explain its vote only once, i.Q~, ~ither in the Committee or in plenary meeting, unless that delegation's vote in plenary meeting is different from its vote in the Commi ttee. ft I also remind delegations that, also in accordance with General Assembly chcision 34/401, explana tions of vote are Umi too to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats. ('lbe President) The Assembly will now consider the report (A/U/71S) of the Third Committee on agenda item 89, entitled "Implementation of the Progranllle of Action for the Second Dec~de to Combat Raci9m and Racial Discrimination". I call on the representative of the United States for an explanation of vote. Mr. WALDR...Q!

(The President) I call on the representa tive of Honduras, who wishes to explain his vote before the votir~. Mr. MS'roR (Honduras) (interpretation frem Spanish), In the Third CGillittee two ea"tral Anlerican deleqations expressed reservations with ~qard to the inclusion of cantral America in draft resolution Ill, on the use of meroenati@s as a means to violate human rights and to impede the exercise of the riqht of peo?les to self-dete rmination. Fir5t, centrAl. America is no longer a group of colonies, they became independent in 1821. Secondly, it is not clear how the concept of mercenaries applies in trying to de~rmine the true situation in the r:egion, rather, we believe, it distorts reality. There is no mention in the texts of any of the agreements reached by the Central AI1lerican Preel dents of the use of mercenaries becoming a problem in terMS of the self-determination of the Peoples in the region. The parties have tacitly recognized the belliqere~~ of armed qroups of irregulars with which they havp. internal conflicts, and have also sat with them at the negotiating table. We believe that thp. inclusion of central America in the yearly dr~ft resolution on this item, whiCh began two or three years aqo, should now cease. While this eKample of manipulation persists in the text of the draft resolution, my delega tion will not be able to vote for it. However, this should not be oonstru@d as any weakening of my Government's condemnation of the use of mercenaries, especially i~ ~rtain parts of Africa where peoples are fighting for their well-deserved independence• .!he AUSIDmT, The Assembly will flOW take ~cisions on the three duft resolutions recommended by the Third Coml1littee in paragraPh 17 of its report (A/U/71 7).
