THINGS TO LOOK FOR DURING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Now that the Second Committee's debate on the International Conference on Population and Development has come to a close, the next step begins. Delegates will soon meet in informal sessions to negotiate a resolution that will likely endorse ECOSOC resolution 1993/76, elevate the status of the ICPD Preparatory Committee to a subsidiary body of the General Assembly, and determine the 1994 budgetary implications for the Preparatory Committee and the Conference. The resolution will be procedural in nature. This resolution is expected to be adopted by the Second Committee in mid-December and then forwarded to the Plenary for adoption before the General Assembly concludes for the year.
