S/PV.5648 Security Council
Provisional
The meeting was called to order at 11 a.m.
At the invitation of the President, Ms. Ziade (Lebanon) 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/2007/171, which contains the text of a
draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council’s prior consultations. Members also have before them document S/2007/150, which contains a letter dated 15 March 2007 from the Secretary-General transmitting the seventh report of the International Independent Investigation Commission.
I wish to draw the attention of members to document S/2007/159, which contains a letter dated 20 March 2007 from the Chargé d’affaires of the Permanent Mission of Lebanon 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 1748 (2007).
The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.
The meeting rose at 11.05 a.m.
