Adoption of the agenda
The agenda was adopted.
Reports of the Secretary-General on the Sudan
Report of the Secretary-General on the deployment of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (S/2009/297)
Report of the Secretary-General on the deployment of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (S/2009/352)
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/2009/392, which contains the text of a draft resolution submitted by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Members of the Council also have before them two reports of the Secretary-General on the deployment of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, which are contained in documents S/2009/297 and S/2009/352.
It is my understanding that the Security 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.
favour=15 against=0 abstain=0 absent=0

There were 15 votes in favour. The draft resolution has been adopted unanimously as resolution 1881 (2009).
The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.
As I expect most members of the Council know, this could be the last time this month that Uganda presides over the deliberations of the Council. It is for me a bittersweet moment. It is a chance to thank all members for their support and cooperation. Together, we have accomplished what we could, but a lot more remains to be done. I also salute the staff of the Secretariat, many of whom work in the background, such as the interpreters and translators. They have done a lot of work and given us incredible support. I would also like to wish Ambassador Sir John Sawers and the delegation of the United Kingdom all the very best in the month of August.
