S/PV.3038 Security Council

The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. In a letter dated 16 January 1992 addressed to the Secretary-General, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan submitted the application of his country for membership in the United Nations. That letter has been circulated in document S/23455. 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 Couucil 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 Tajikistan 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 on Friday, 24 January 1992, in Conference Room 7, following the adjournment of the meeting concerning the application of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in order to consider the application of the Republic of Tajikistan for membership in the United Nations.
