Expression of thanks to the retiring President
As this is the first meeting of the Security Council for the month of September, I should like to take this opportunity to pay tribute, on behalf of the Council, to His Excellency Mr. Hasmy Agam, Permanent Representative of Malaysia to the United Nations, for his service as President of the Security Council for the month of August 2000. I am sure I speak for all members of the Security Council in expressing deep appreciation to Ambassador Hasmy for the great diplomatic skill with which he conducted the Council’s business last month.
Adoption of the agenda
The agenda was adopted.
The situation in Sierra Leone Sixth report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (S/2000/832)
I should like to inform the Council that I have received a letter from the representative of Sierra Leone, in which he requests to be invited to participate in the discussion of the item on the Council’s agenda. In conformity with the usual practice, I propose, with the consent of the Council, to invite that representative to participate in the discussion, without the right to vote, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Charter and rule 37 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure.
There being no objection, it is so decided.
At the invitation of the President, Mr. Banya (Sierra Leone) took a seat at the Council table.
The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.
Members of the Council have before them the Sixth report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone, document S/2000/832.
Members of the Council also have before them document S/2000/846, which contains the text of a draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council’s prior consultations.
It is my understanding that the Security Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution (S/2000/846) before it. If I hear no objection, I shall now put the draft resolution to the vote.
