The President
I shall now call on those representatives who wish to explain their votes on the draft resolutions just adopted. May I remind delegations that explanations of vote are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Walker (United States of America)
My Government’s views are well known on resolutions that speak conclusively to issues under direct negotiation between parties in the region.

We applaud the courageous steps taken by Israel and the Palestinians with the signing of the Declaration of Principles, and by Israel and Jordan with their common agenda. Canada encourages regional parties to continue negotiations to im…
The President
We have heard the last speaker in explanation of vote after the vote. I would like to congratulate the Assembly on the adoption of the resolutions before us today. They represent a very important advance in the Middle East peace process. May I take it that it is the wish of the Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 34?
