CHAIRMAN (original language Arabic): We have discussed the various items in the Drafting Committee which has amended the report and I hope the Commission will be able to adopt it, after which we shall submit it to the Plenary.
CHAIRMAN (original language Arabic): There are some corrections. It is a matter of language to be set straight.
F.M. MIFSUD (Secretary, Commission III): In the English version there is an omission in paragraph 3, line 6; before the word "majority" should be inserted "two-thirds", that is to say "to reach the two-thirds majority....". In the other texts, there is no omission.
CHAIRMAN (original language Arabic): Thank you, have you all got that?

CHAIRMAN (original language Arabic): After the adoption of this report, I would like to give the floor to the Chairman of the Drafting Committee.
MAZLAN JUSOH (Chairman, Drafting Committee): Let me thank you for giving me this opportunity to say a few words. First of all, I am very glad that the draft report as presented to you has been adopted unanimously without any amendment. I should like to thank you and the Commission for having had the confidence in me to ask me to chair the Drafting Committee. I am sure that this appointment and your confidence are more because of the stature of my country rather than my own personal merit.
I should also like to thank the Secretariat for their help and advice throughout our sessions. Most importantly, I must express my most sincere appreciation to all members of the Drafting Committee for having shown the utmost forbearance, patience and cooperation throughout our deliberations. All the members of the Drafting Committee have been very active, constructive and always ready and willing to cooperate and even to compromise on certain wording and phrases pertaining to certain sensitive issues.
The Drafting Committee comprised 13 member countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Gabon, the Federal Republic of Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Jordan, Malaysia, Poland, Switzerland, the United States and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. The Committee had two meetings; the first was held right after the Commission's fourth meeting on the morning of Friday, 22 November.
A small contact group held a separate, informal discussion, to iron out a couple of difficult points. This informal discussion facilitated the reaching of agreement by the Drafting Committee on certain difficult parts of the draft text. I must say that the abundance of goodwill shown by all members of the group was most gratifying.
CHAIRMAN (original language Arabic): I wish to thank all the members of Commission III for their cooperation and for the efforts they put into the preparation of the report. I also wish to thank the Secretariat for their efforts in bringing our deliberations to a successful conclusion. I thank you all. We have now adopted the report and we shall submit it to the Plenary.
