I. Cooperation between the United Nations and regional and other organizations

Cooperation between the United Nations and the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization

This question was included in the agenda of the fifty-fourth session of the General Assembly, in 1999, at the request of Austria (A/54/191). At that session, the Assembly invited the Secretary-General to take the appropriate steps to conclude with the Executive Secretary of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization an agreement to regulate the relationship between the United Nations and the Preparatory Commission, to be submitted to the General Assembly for its approval (resolution 54/65).

On 26 May 2000, the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Executive Secretary of the Preparatory Commission signed the Agreement, which was approved by the Assembly (resolution 54/280, annex).

The General Assembly considered the item at its fifty-fourth to fifty-seventh  and fifty-ninth sessions (resolutions 54/280, 56/49, 57/49, 59/6 and decision 55/408).

At its sixty-first session, the General Assembly took note of the report of the Executive Secretary of the Preparatory Commission covering the year 2005 (see A/61/184) (resolution 61/47). At the sixty-second session, the Secretary-General submitted the report covering the year 2006 (A/62/135).
