S/PV.5957 Security Council
Provisional
At the invitation of the President, Mr. Mohamed (Somalia) 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/2008/556, 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/2008/466, which contains the report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Somalia.
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 now put the draft resolution to the vote.
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 1831 (2008).
The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council will remain seized of the matter.
