S/PV.6179 Security Council

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. I wish to draw the attention of members of the Council to document S/2009/406, which contains the text of a draft resolution submitted by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America. I wish also to draw the attention of members of the Council to document S/2009/393, containing the report of the Secretary-General pursuant to paragraph 6 of resolution 1830 (2008). It is my understanding that the Security Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. If I hear no objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now. There being no objection, it is so decided.

There were 15 votes in favour. The draft resolution has been adopted unanimously as resolution 1883 (2009). The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.
