Issue 8 Which parties should be covered under draft article 88?

Issue 2 Provisions relating to arrest Draft articles 73 and 74

Issue 5 Agreement on jurisdiction following a dispute Draft article 75 bis

The Secretariat was requested to address this issue when revising the draft provisions.

One advantage of the approach was said to be that it separated the issue of scope of application of the draft instrument from the issue of derogation from certain of the specific provisions of the draft instrument.

The Draft Background Paper for subsequent BSEC activities on this issue is now being discussed.

Issue 1 Connecting factors Draft article 72, proposed new definitions, proposed new article 72 bis

Secondly, our most recent draft resolutions on this issue date back to 1999 and 2000.

The draft resolution is an update of a similar resolution adopted last year on this issue.

It was more logical to deal with the issue it addressed under draft article 18 and he therefore supported the proposal to delete draft paragraph 6.

The issue of marine debris in particular is an urgent matter, as noted in the omnibus draft resolution.

Issue 2 Under what conditions should it be possible to derogate from the provisions of the draft instrument?

Issue 7 Should a one way or a two way mandatory approach be adopted in draft article 88?

The representative to the European Community introduced the draft proposal prepared by the European Community on the issue.

Secondly, the draft resolution uses the issue of human rights for political purposes against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Given the importance of the issue, time was needed to further elaborate the draft articles and achieve the widest possible consensus.

Requests the independent expert to study the issue and prepare a draft declaration on the right of peoples to international solidarity

The issue was discussed whether a one way or a two way mandatory approach should be adopted in draft article 88.

The draft resolution also strengthens provisions calling for a report on this issue for consideration by the General Assembly next year.

Issue 3 Concursus, suits in solidum, litis consortium and lis pendens (proposed new articles 74 bis, 74 ter and draft article 75)

The draft resolution, sponsored by the Russian delegation can help attract greater attention to the issue of outer space from all sides.

That amendment had found its way into the draft report for the current year's Seminar, although the issue had not been discussed.

Furthermore, we do not support the annual tabling of the draft resolution in plenary while every year the Assembly adopts a broadly supported draft resolution from the Fourth Committee on the Syrian Golan issue.

We thank the sponsors for elaborating a draft resolution that addresses such an important and timely issue in the field of international security.

Issue 3 Should there be mandatory provisions of the draft instrument from which derogation should never be allowed, and if so, what were they?

Mr. Boulet (Belgium) said that the draft convention dealt with an issue that required particular flexibility, which made the use of declarations entirely appropriate.

It was in any case an issue that would not, in his view, have a significant impact on the general outcome of the draft convention.

The formal tabling of our draft proposal should not be construed as our concurrence with a vote on the crucial issue of Security Council reform.

It is important that we recognize and discuss this important issue in this Hall, and we are very pleased to be sponsoring the draft resolution.

In our view, this draft resolution is not the best or most appropriate vehicle for the complex issue of the trans shipment of radioactive materials.

On the issue of draft decisions considered during Board sessions, several delegations expressed a need for informal consultations to take place at future Board sessions, to allow all delegations and regional groups ample time to discuss draft decisions.

While the draft Convention did not cover the issue, it was without prejudice to the immunities that States enjoyed in criminal proceedings under customary international law.

His delegation would welcome suggestions from the Under Secretary General regarding the course of action to be followed in negotiating and formulating draft resolutions on that issue.

The Chairman noted that when the issue raised by Japan had been discussed in the Working Group, the consensus view had been that States which had difficulties with draft paragraphs 4 and 5 could make an opt out declaration under draft article 18.

The first non paper, a proposed addition to draft article 18 in the form of an additional paragraph which would carry the number 5, addressed the issue of the delineation of the legal regime under the draft Convention and under international humanitarian law.

ASEAN government officials have since met to draft a text. Approval by the association s foreign ministers may come in September, with ASEAN leaders tackling the issue in October.

It is precisely because we attach such importance to the issue of working methods that a considerable portion of our own draft proposal was devoted to that question.

Finally, I would like to thank the delegation of Japan for having prepared the draft presidential statement on this issue to be adopted at the end of the meeting.

Mr. Mazzoni (Italy) said he agreed with the representative of the United States that paragraph 2 of draft article 2 resolved the uniqueness issue raised by the Belgian delegation.

Ms. Gordon (Jamaica), introducing draft resolution A C.2 60 L.36 on behalf of the Group of 77 and China, said the draft resolution dealt with an issue of particular concern to the Group and merited the urgent attention of the international community.

However, that was an internal issue for the EU and should not constitute an impediment to the inclusion of draft article 16 bis, which seemed to be generally welcomed by the Commission as a means of facilitating the broadest possible ratification of the draft convention.

Finally, I will return to the point that I began with the whole issue of the group of four hurtling down the road with this draft resolution in undue haste.

The issue of concluding work on the draft instrument was reassessed in light of earlier discussions on this topic in the Working Group (see A CN.9 552, para. 168).

The adoption of the draft programme of action for the Second International Decade of the World's Indigenous People would be helpful in maintaining a broad based focus on the issue.

The remaining points at issue in the draft comprehensive convention for the suppression of acts of nuclear terrorism should also be settled so that it could be adopted by consensus.
