S/PV.3216 Security Council

The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. In a letter dated 14 May 1993 addressed to the Secretary-General, the Minister of State of the Principality of Monaco submitted the application of his country for membership in the United Nations. That letter has been circulated in document S/25796. 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 Principality of Monaco 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 meet immediately following the adjournment of this meeting, in Conference Room 7, to consider the application of the Principality of Monaco for membership in the United Nations.
