A/46/PV.87 General Assembly

I now call on the representative of Yugoslavia. Mr. DJOKIi (Yugoslavia): The delegation of Yugoslavia has asked for the floor, regrettably, in connection with the statement8 just delivered by certain representatives regarding the continuity and membership of Yugoslavia in the United Rations. I do not wish to reply to the allegations that have just been expressed by the representative of Croatia, as I feel that the rortrum of the Ganwal Asrombly should mot he umd for recrin~oatlon and coaf rontation. Consequaatly, permit me, Mr. President, to draw the alto&ion of the mars of the Goners1 Aaaembly to the following. On 27 April 1992, the Permanent Mimrion of Yugorlavia dolivorod an officiel note to the Secretary-General of the United lationr iaforuing him that the Assembly of the Socialist Federal Pepublic of Yugoslavia. at it8 rwsion held oa 27 April 1992, promulgated the Constitution of the Iederal Republic of Yugoslavia. Under the Constitution, strictly respecting the continuity cf the international personality of Yugoslavia. the Yedoral Republic of Yugoslavia shall continue to fulfil all the rights conferred to and obligations arsumed by the Socialist Pederal Republic of YUgOslaVia in intoraatianal relations, including its membership in all iaternational otganiaations and participation in international treaties ratified or accsded to by Yu9oslavia. The Federal Bepublic of Yugoslavia, as a ?ounding Ueaber of the United Nations, acknowledges its full commitment to the world Organiration, the United Nations Charter, and the Conference on Security and Cooperation (CSC) in Europe as its founding participating State and to all CSC docwnts, in particular the Helsinki Final Act and the Charter of Paris. The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia does not claim to be the sole successor of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, but does strongly believe that the continuity of Yugoslavia as a State and its legal personality are in accordance with esttilished practice in international relations in all such situations as well as with stcudard international behavior in similar circundstances, particularly in the United Nations. The federal Republic of Yugoslavia is not a neu State, but is rather the ( kiL,.-&!&2ti~_&l~Q~ Wi 0 ) restructuring and continuation of the osrlier Yugorlavia, thin time within a reduced Territory. Therefore, the Pederal Republic of Yugoslavia shall continue to pursue Yugoslavia's foreign policy of the broadest possible equitable cooperation with all international factora. Them (interpretation from Arabic)r I should like to inform representatives that all the obrervationa thus made will appear in the verbatim records of this meeting.

We turn now to the letter from the Permanent Representative of the United States of America addtorred to the Secretary-Geaorsl (A/46/952) by which the Unltod Stator of America, snd on behalf of Aumttalla, Aumttla, Canada, Csechorlovakla, Germany, Japan, the Phlllppiner, the Rurrlan Iedetatlon and the Unltod Kingdom of Croat Btltaln and lorthetn Itelsnd, tequertr that agenda item 116, “Unltod I(atlonr comon sya tern” p be reopened aa noon a# porrlblo during the forty-rlxth serrlon of the Assembly in order to enable the Assembly to conaldet the impact on the United Rations common system of the declmion of the Admlnlrtratlve Council of the International Telecomnunlcatlon Union, at its last 6es8lon, regarding the payment of special post allowancea. In liyht of this request, may I take it that the Assembly has no objection to reopening consideration of agenda item 1167 J& wa8 80 w . m (interpretation from Arabic): Mmnbets will recall that, at its third plenary meeting, on 20 September 1991, the Assembly allocated this item to the Fifth Conmnittee. May I take it that the Assembly again wishes to allocate this item to the Fifth Conwnlttee? u was ao decrdea .

Next, we turn to the request contained in the note by the Secretary-General circulated in document A/46/934. In connection with this request, a report by the Secretary-General on the financing of the United Nations Angola Verification Mission has been issued as document A/46/934/Add.l. t-1 In him noto, the Secretary-Goners1 ioformm the Qenoral Am~ornbly that in him report to the Security Council (8123671 and Add.11 he rocomeadmd, m, that the mandate, strength and compomition of the United Nation6 Angola Verification Mission (UNAVEM II) be l alargod to include on Office of the Special Rspresentativo for Angola to coordinate all United Nation8 activities related to the Angolan peace procomm, and an Electoral Divirion for the purpose of observing and verifying the Angolan electoral procesm until itr completion. He further informs the Assembly that the Security Council, by its resolution 747 (1992) of 24 March 1992, malis, approved him report and decided to enlarge the mandate of UNAVSM II for the remainder of itm existing mandate period. In order to enable the Assembly to consider the financing proposals of the Secretary-General that would permit UNAVEM II to undertake theme added responsibilities, it will be necessary to reopen consideration of agenda item 120, entitled “Financing of the United Nations Angola Verification Mission”. May I take it that the General Assembly wishes to reopen consideration of agenda item 1201 fi was so decida .

At its 3rd plenary meeting, the Assembly allocated agenda item 120 to the Pifth Comnittee. May I take it that the Assembly again wishes to allocate agenda item 120 to the Fifth Committee?
