S/PV.3032 Security Council

The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. In a letter dated 31 December 1991 addressed to the Secretary-General the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan submitted the application of his country for membership in the United Nations. That letrer has been circulated in document S/23353. Under the provisions of rule 59 of the provisional rules of procedure of the Security Council, unless the Council decides otherwise an application for membership shall be referred by the President of the Council to the Committee on the Admission of New Members. Accordingly, unless I hear a proposal to the contrary, I shall refer the application of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the Committee on the Admission of New Members for examination and report. As I hear no objection, it is so decided. I would propose that the Committee on the Admission of New Members schedule a meeting on Tuesday, 21 January, at 3.30 p.m., in Conference Room No. 7, to examine the application of the Republic of Kazakhstan and report back to the Council. The meetina rose at 11.30 a.m.
