S/PV.5521 Security Council
Provisional
The meeting was called to order at 12.25 p.m.
At the invitation of the President, Mr. Farhâdi (Afghanistan) took a seat at the Council table.
The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.
Members of the Council have before them document S/2006/723, which contains the text of a
draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council’s prior consultations.
I wish to draw the attention of members to document S/2006/725, containing the text of a letter dated 11 September 2006 from Afghanistan addressed to the Secretary-General.
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 1707 (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 12.30 p.m.
