Back to General Assembly

9 February 1999

This afternoon at 3:30, the General Assembly will resume the emergency special session on "Illegal Israeli actions in occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory". There are still 12 speakers remaining in the general debate, before the Assembly takes action on draft resolution contained in document A/ES-10/L.5/Rev.1, which was issued this morning. Five speakers are inscribed to address the Assembly after the vote.

Also this afternoon, the Ad Hoc Open-Ended Working Group on Financing for Development will hold the opening meeting of its second session, postponed from yesterday, and the President of the Assembly will make an opening statement. The text of his statement will be available shortly as a press release in English and in Spanish.

And this morning, of course, the Open-Ended Working Group on the Security Council reform is continuing to meet in closed sessions.
