Provisional
At the invitation of the President, Mr. Eesiah (Liberia) 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 document S/2006/376, which contains the eleventh progress report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Mission in Liberia. Members of the Council also have before them document S/2006/509, which contains the text of a draft resolution submitted by the United States of America. It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. Unless I hear any objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now. There being no objection, it is so decided.
A vote was taken by show of hands.
There were 15 votes in favour. The draft resolution has been adopted unanimously as resolution 1694 (2006). The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council will remain seized of the matter.
The meeting rose at 3.20 p.m.
