Admission of new Members
Letter dated 14 November 1994 from the Minister of State of the Republic of Palau addressed to the Secretary-General (S/1994/1315)
The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda.
In a letter dated 14 November 1994 addressed to the Secretary-General the Minister of State of the Republic of Palau submitted the application of his country for membership in the United Nations. That letter has been circulated in document S/1994/1315.
Under the provisions of rule 59 of the provisional rules of procedure of the Security Council, unless the Council decides otherwise, an application for membership shall be referred by the President of the Council to the Committee on the Admission of New Members. Accordingly, unless I hear a proposal to the contrary, I shall refer the application of the Republic of Palau to the Committee on the Admission of New Members for examination and report.
As I hear no objection, it is so decided.
I would propose that the Committee on the Admission of New Members meet immediately following the adjournment of this meeting, in Conference Room 7, to consider the application of the Republic of Palau for membership in the United Nations.
The meeting rose at 11.45 a.m.
