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

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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

Issue 6 Should a documentary or non documentary approach be adopted for the protection of third parties in draft article 5 as set forth in A CN.9 WG.III WP.44?

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.

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

Mr. Mirmohammad (Islamic Republic of Iran) said that the amendments to draft resolution A C.5 59 L.46 reflected the outcome of the final round of negotiations on a sensitive issue.

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.

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.

Although his delegation opposed the inclusion of a disclosure obligation in draft article 6, he shared the view of the French delegation that the issue had not been settled in a satisfactory manner.

The Working Group was reminded that it had most recently considered the issue of protection of third parties and a previous draft of draft article 5 as set forth in A CN.9 WG.III WP.44 at its fourteenth session (see A CN.9 572, paras. 91 96 and 105).

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.

However, the view was also expressed that, unlike the duties in draft article 13 (1)(a) and (b), the duty in draft article 13 (1)(c) was not a public policy and general security issue and that therefore its application should be left to the freedom of the parties.

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.

It would be a mistake for the Commission to submit the draft convention to the Sixth Committee without settling what was a crucial issue, since it might entail an unacceptable delay in its adoption.

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's a big issue.
