Letter dated 22 November 2006 from the Secretary-General addressed to the President of the Security Council (S/2006/920)
Report of the Secretary-General on the request of Nepal for United Nations assistance in support of its peace process (S/2009/351)
I should like to inform the Council that I have received a letter from the representative of Nepal, in which he requests to be invited to participate in the consideration of the item on the Council's agenda. In conformity with the usual practice, I propose, with the consent of the Council, to invite that representative to participate in the consideration of the item, without the right to vote, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Charter and rule 37 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure.
There being no objection, it is so decided.
At the invitation of the President, Mr. Acharya (Nepal) took a seat at the Council table.
The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.
Members of the Council have before them document S/2009/377, which contains the text of a draft resolution submitted by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Members also have before them document S/2009/351, containing the report of the Secretary-General on the request of Nepal for United Nations assistance in support of its peace process.
I wish to draw the attention of members to document S/2009/360, containing the text of a letter dated 14 July 2009 from the Secretary-General addressed to the President of the Security Council.
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.
