The PRESIDENT (interpretation from Fcench): There were 15 votes in favour. The draft resolution has been adopted unanimously as resolution 790 (1992). In connection with the resolution just adopted on the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force, I have been authorized to make the following complementary statement on behalf of the Security Council: "As is known, the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (S/24821) states, in paragraph 20: 'Despite the present quiet in the Israel-Syria sector, the situation in the Middle East as a whole cuntinues to be potentially dangerous and is likely to remain so, unless and until a comprehensive settlement covering all aspects of the Middle East problem can be reached.' "That statement of the Secretary-General reflects the view of the Security Council." The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. h i r m.
