General issues relating to sanctions

The President Arabic

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. Members of the Council have before them document S/2006/1004, which contains the text of a draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council's prior consultations.

I wish to draw the attention of members to the report of the Informal Working Group on General Issues of Sanctions, contained in document S/2006/997.

It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. Unless I hear any objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.

There being no objection, it is so decided.
