Speeches following this vote (16)
The President
Under sub-item (e), draft resolution A/49/L.45 is entitled “Emergency international assistance for peace, normalcy and reconstruction of war-stricken Afghanistan”.
May I take it that the Assembly decides to adopt draft resolution A/49/L.45?
The President
I shall now call on those representatives who wish to speak in explanation of position. May I remind members that explanations of vote are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Runge
Allow me on behalf of the European Union to use this particular moment, after the adoption by consensus of the last draft resolution submitted under agenda item 37, briefly to assess the work of this session of the General Assembly on the cluster of items entitled “Strengthening of the coordination of humanitarian and disaster relief assistance of the United Nations, including special economic as…
Mr. Eliashiv
Israel fully supports and encourages economic, financial and technical assistance to the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Peace and prosperity are indivisible. Economic development and improved living conditions in the territories will encourage peace and stability in the region. We welcome the concerted efforts of Member States, international financial institutions and intergove…
Mr. Kobayashi
My delegation welcomes the adoption of draft resolution A/49/L.29/Rev.l, entitled “Early warning capacities of the United Nations system with regard to natural disasters”, which it co-sponsored. We wish to pay special tribute to Ambassador Sucharipa of Austria, the Coordinator designated by the President of the General Assembly, for his success in fashioning a consensus; and we thank the other de…
Mr. Al-Habib
My delegation joined the consensus on draft resolution A/49/L.50. However, I would like to express my delegation’s reservation regarding those parts of the resolution which might be construed as any recognition of Israel.
Mr. Hasan
While we highly value all international efforts for the provision of assistance to the Palestinian people in the form of the programme outlined in draft resolution A/49/L.50, my delegation expresses its reservations on the third preambular paragraph of the draft resolution.
Mr. Amer
My delegation joined the consensus for the adoption of the resolution contained in document A/49/L.50. Nevertheless, we wish to put on record a reservation with regard to any indication that could be construed as recognition of Israel or as welcome for the peace process in the Middle East.
Ms. Low
The United States Government remains extremely concerned that the draft resolution on emergency assistance to the Sudan (A/49/L.41/Rev.1), just adopted, reflects a situation in the Sudan that takes very little account of the reality that exists in a vast part of that country — a reality that, as the Secretary-General’s report in document A/49/376 points out, depicts a Government which has done ve…
The President
We have heard the last speaker in explanation of position.
I now call on the representative of Austria, Coordinator of the informal consultations on agenda item 37.
Mr. Sucharipa
As we come to the conclusion of our debate on agenda item 37, I wish to make a few comments in my personal capacity as Coordinator of the informal consultations that were conducted in conformity with the procedure set out in resolution 48/162, “Further measures for the restructuring and revitalization of the United Nations in the economic, social and related fields”.
Starting on 28 November, we …
The President
I now call on the representative of Sudan, who wishes to make a statement.
Mr. Osman
Following the adoption of draft resolution A/49/L.41/Rev.1 entitled “Emergency assistance to the Sudan”, my delegation wishes to thank all the delegations that sponsored that draft resolution, particularly our brethren in the African Group, as well as Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Jordan, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Syrian Arab Republic, and Yemen. Opera…
The President
In accordance with General Assembly resolutions 3237 (XXIX) of 22 November 1974 and 43/177 of 15 December 1988, I now call on the observer of Palestine.
Mr. Shreim
Draft resolution A/49/L.50, on assistance to the Palestinian people, which was adopted this morning, resembles the resolution that the General Assembly first adopted unanimously last year under the same item. It also resembles Economic and Social Council resolution 1994/29 of 27 July 1994.
The Palestinian delegation worked hard with all the parties concerned to make it possible, this year and in…
The President
Before the Assembly concludes its consideration of agenda item 37 I wish to thank Ambassador Sucharipa of Austria very sincerely for the effectiveness with which he coordinated the informal consultations on it. I should like also to congratulate all the delegations whose efforts led to the success of those negotiations.
May I take it that it is the wish of the Assembly to conclude its considerat…
