The Acting President
Since draft amendment A/75/L.121/Rev.1 and the oral amendment proposed by the representative of the United States have been adopted, the Assembly will now take action on draft resolution A/75/L.119/Rev.1, entitled “Establishment of
the Permanent Forum of People of African Descent”, as amended.
I give the floor to the representative of Algeria on a point of order.
Mr. Bessedik
Delegations were given the opportunity to co-sponsor the amendment to draft resolution A/75/L.119/Rev.1, but I see that the same was not done for the draft resolution as a whole. Algeria requested the floor because it wants to co-sponsor the draft resolution, as amended.
The Acting President
I have been reminded that draft resolution A/75/L.119/Rev.1, to which the representative of Algeria is referring, is being presented by the President of the General Assembly. As such, it needs no co-sponsors.
May I take it that the Assembly decides to adopt A/75/L.119/Rev.1, as amended?
The Acting President
Before giving the floor to speakers in explanation of vote before the voting, may I remind delegations that explanations are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.

Mrs. Thomas-Greenfield
I thank Chad and Costa Rica for having facilitated today’s resolution (resolution 75/314). The United States strongly supports the creation of the Permanent Forum for People of African Descent.
