S/PV.3035 Security Council

The PRESIDENT: 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 Armenia submitted the application of his country for membership in the United Nations. That letter has been circulated in document $/23405. 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 Armenia to the Committee on the Admission of New Members for examination and report. As I hear no objection, it is so decided. I propose that the Committee on the Admission of New Members meet at 3.30 p.m., on Friday, 24 January 1992, in Conference Room 7, in order to consider the application of the Republic of Armenia for membership in the United Nations.
