Speeches following this vote (17)
The Acting President
Draft resolution II, entitled “Financing of the United Nations Logistics Base at Brindisi, Italy”, was adopted by the Fifth Committee without a vote. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to do the same?
The Acting President
Draft decision II, entitled “Death and disability benefits”, was adopted by the Fifth Committee without a vote. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to do likewise?
The Acting President
The Assembly will now take a decision on the draft resolution recommended by the Fifth Committee in paragraph 7 of part V of its report.
The text of the draft resolution is contained in document A/C.5/52/L.54. Entitled “Support account for peacekeeping operations”, it was adopted by the Fifth Committee without a vote. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to do likewise?
The Acting President
For explanation of position on the resolution just adopted, I give the floor to the representative of the United Kingdom.
Mr. Thorne
I have the honour to take the floor on behalf of the European Union, under agenda item 142, on the apportionment of the costs of peacekeeping operations.
The Central and Eastern European countries associated with the European Union — Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and the associated country Cyprus — as well as the European Free Trade Associa…
Mr. Hanson
My delegation has two subjects which it wishes to address at the present time under this item. On the first subject, I will speak on behalf of the delegations of Australia, New Zealand and my own country, Canada. On the second subject, I shall pass the microphone to my colleague for a statement on behalf of Canada alone.
With regard to the first subject, many delegations from time to time have r…
Mr. Gibbons
Our delegation joined consensus on the resolution entitled “Support account for peacekeeping operations”. However, we regret that the
In paragraph 81 of its report, document A/50/230 of 22 June 1995, the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations urged
“the Secretary-General to develop a rapidly deployable headquarters team composed of personnel skilled in essential military and civilian head…
Mr. Sklar
We would like to join Canada and then Canada, Australia and New Zealand and affirm our support for both of the statements just made by Canada. With respect to the RDMHQ, we will not comment further since we did express our strong endorsement for the implementation of this mandated function during our Fifth Committee comments.
We would like to amplify a little bit upon Canada’s first statement, w…
Mr. Soares
Portugal fully agrees and supports the explanation of vote just made by the representative of the United Kingdom on behalf of the European Union. In my national capacity I would like to add that the attempt to stop the circulation of documents prepared by the Secretary-General or to restrict the transmittal of information contained therein to a number of delegations by members of the Bureau of th…
Mr. Atiyanto
Let me, if I may, speak on behalf of the Group of 77 and China. My delegation does
On behalf of the Group of 77, I would like to place on record that the Group of 77 and China continue to believe that this is not the right time to discuss or to reopen the debate on the issue of the scale of assessments of peacekeeping operations. I would also like to reiterate that members of the Group of 77 and…
Mr. Herrera
Like the delegation of Indonesia, my delegation believes this is not the appropriate moment to reopen the debate and the analysis of the peacekeeping assessments. However, we would like to clarify that if it were ever decided that this topic should be considered, my delegation would propose that the nations that have a great deal of power in this Organization should find this power reflected in t…
Mr. Moktefi
I apologize for taking the floor. I had not planned to, but my delegation feels that it now must do so. Without embarking upon a debate of substance, my delegation would like to associate itself fully with the statement of the representative of Indonesia on behalf of the Group of 77 and China.
My delegation profoundly deplores the unfounded accusations, lacking in impartiality, which have been v…
Mr. Zhang Wanhai
The Chinese delegation believes that this is not the time to discuss the peacekeeping assessment. The Chinese delegation therefore supports the statement and the position expressed by Indonesia on behalf of the Group of 77 and China.
Mr. Monayair
My delegation would like to state very briefly that it supports the statement made by Indonesia on behalf of the Group of 77 and China.
Ms. Incera
My delegation did not intend to take the floor at this stage. However, having listened to the statements made by a number of delegations, I must say that their unfair statements regarding the members of the Bureau are regrettable, particularly bearing in mind that the Chairman of the Fifth Committee had already explained what took place when the relevant document was requested.
My delegation ful…
Ms. Buergo Rodríguez
The Acting President
We have thus concluded this stage of our consideration of sub-item (a) of agenda item 142.
