Speeches following this vote (20)
The President
I shall now call on those representatives wishing to explain their votes.
Mr. LI Wen-chuan
On agenda item 75, the Chinese delegation voted in favour of the draft resolution contained in document A/32/422. With regard to operative paragraph 5 of that draft resolution, the Chinese delegation wishes to take this opportunity to state again that the invitation of observers to attend the World Conference to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination by the Secretary-Gene:cal must be made in str…
Mr. Mezvinsky 
Mr. Nothomb
The nine States members of the European Community, on whose behalf I have the honour to speak, voted in favour of the draft resolution on the World Conference to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination, contained in document A/32/422. The sponsors of that draft, all members of the African group, had at the sixty-second session of the Economic and Social Council shown a great spirit of conciliatio…
The President
The General Assembly will now consider the report oftr.e Third Committee on agenda item 76, entitled "Alternative approaches and ways and meailS
124. I shall now call on those representatives wishing to explain their votes before the vote.
Mr. Fuentes Ibanez
My delegation deems it appropriate to make a few comments on the portion of the report of the Economic and Social Council concerning the need to encourage universal respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, which led to the preparation of the draft resolution that was examined and adopted by the Third Committee. While at the appropriate time we clarified some of the aspects that we felt …
Mrs. De Barish
In view of the importance that my delegation attaches to this item, we wish. to place on record Costa
142. The framework of the dignity of the human person is made up of a minimum number of human rights whose integrity depends on their being treated as a single whole: the right to life, to freedom of thought, to moral convictions-religious or otherwise-to the expression of opinions, to equality,…
The President
The General Assembly will now take a decision on the recommendations contained in the report of the Third Committee on agenda item 76 [A/32/423/.
153. I invite representatives to turn first to the decision of the Third Committee referred to in paragraph 23 of its report. The representative of Costa Rica has just requested thaj 'a recorded vote should be taken.
154. I call on the representative …
Mr. Alfonso Martinez
My delegation would like some clarifica-
157. As my delegation sees it, the procedural situation confronting us now is very clear. This is, I insist, that what we have to do is to vote on the sole draft resolution recommended by the Third Committee and contained in paragraph 24. If my delegation understands the procedure properly, the General Assembly has no pronouncement to make either for or a…
The President
I call on the representative of Costa Rica in order for her to explain her proposal.
Mrs. De Barish
I would merely refer to one precedent that has just lately occurred here, when the Assembly first of all adopted the draft resolution on the HWorld Conference against Racism and Racial Discrimination". The President addressed himself to paragraph 11 of document A/32/422 and asked whether the General Assembly was ready to adopt the draft decision without a vote, and in fact the Assembly did adopt …
Mr. Alfonso Martinez
My dehgation's surprise is growing. The representative of Costa Rica has just invoked as a precedent to the request she made the decision adopted in the plenary meeting a few moments ago-a decision recommended by the Third Committee in paragraph 11 of document A/32/422. A mere reading of that paragraph will clarify the
163. The case cited by the representative of Costa Rica, namely, the decision…
The President
The situation is very ckar: paragraph 23 of the report before us [A/32/423j is before th~ Assembly not for the purpose of having the Assembly take a decision by voting on it, but only for the purpose of having it take note of that paragraph.
166. The example cited by the representative of Costa Rica concerning paragraph 11 of the Comnittee's report contained in document A/32/,.;22 is complet~ly …
Mrs. De Barish
I must apologize, Mr. President, for the undue delay I am causing, and I accept the explanations you have given. I was merely interested in having the record show the situation and the reason for which my delegation was interested in having the Assembly pronounce itself on what is to be done with our propGsal, since in any case it is always the General Assembly that decides where to send proposal…
The President
I call on the representative of Morocco on a point of order. Since this particular matter has already been decided, under the rules of procedure her point of order should pertain to something other than this.
171. I would point out that we have several decisions relating to this in other documents, and if we \:ould not express ourselves on the question of whether or not these documents a.re to b…
The President
The representative of Costa Rica has already withdrawn her request for a vote on paragraph 23 of document A/32!423, and, as I have announced, it was not my inte:'ltion to put that cj" ~i~ion to a vote, but only to ask the General Assembly to decide to take note of that paragraph. Now the representative of Morocco is asking, ifI understand her correctly, for a vote on paragraph 23.
175. Because a…
Mr. Baroody
Mr. President, I think your decision was the right one. If you want to humour my good friend from Morocco, I think the procedural debate will lead us into reopening the whole substantive question. That is something which I am sure neither the representative of Costa Rica nor the representative of Morocco wishes to be done. I think you very wisely mentioned that the request of the representative o…
The President
Several points of order have already been raised, and in ans\\·~ring the points of order, on the basis of rule 71, I have already made a ruling that the vote on paragraph 23 will not be taken, after listening to the arguments expressed by the representatives of Costa Rica and Cuba. After making this ruling, on the basis of rule 71, I should like to ask the representative of Morocco whether she in…
The President
The General Assembly will now take a decision on the draft resolution recommended by the Third Committee in paragraph 24 of its report in document A/32/423. The draft resolution is entitled "Alternative approaches and ways and means within the United Nations system for improving the effective enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms". I put the draft resolution to the vote. A recorded v…
