The situation concerning Iraq
Report of the Secretary-General pursuant to paragraph 6 of resolution 1830 (2008) (S/2009/393)
I should like to inform the Council that I have received a letter from the representative of Iraq, 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. Al Bayati (Iraq) took a seat at the Council table.
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.
I wish to draw the attention of members of the Council to document S/2009/406, which contains the text of a draft resolution submitted by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America.
I wish also to draw the attention of members of the Council to document S/2009/393, containing the report of the Secretary-General pursuant to paragraph 6 of resolution 1830 (2008).
It is my understanding that the Security Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. If I hear no objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.
There being no objection, it is so decided.
