Israeli settlements – SecCo Commission under S/RES/446 (1979) – Note by the SecCo President

NOTE BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL

The Chairman of the Security Council Commission established under resolution 446 (1979) to examine the situation relating to settlements in the Arab territories occupied since 1967, including Jerusalem, has on behalf of the Commission, informed the President that, in view of the present heavy schedule of the Security Council and also the extensive volume of testimony and other documentary information received by the Commission during its visit to the area, it would be difficult for the commission to report to the Security Council by 1 July 1989, as called for in paragraph 5 of the above-mentioned resolution.  Accordingly, the Chairman of the Commission has requested that the time-limit for the report be postponed until 15 July 1979.

Following informal consultation on the matter, it has been found that no member of the Security Council has any objection to the Commission's request and the Chairman of the Commission has been so informed.
