Presidency of the Security Council: rule 18 of the provisional rules of procedure of the Security Council

The President Russian

The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda.

The Security Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.

Following consultation among members of the Security Council, I have been authorized to make the following statement on behalf of the Council:

"The Security Council has decided to suspend the operation of rule 18 of the provisional rules of procedure so as to allow the presidency of the Security Council to be held in September 1994 by Spain. The timing of the presidency of the Council by Rwanda will be addressed later."

This statement will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/1994/48.

The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.
