RUles of Procedure of the General Assembly on theoosis of the Secretary-

Ger.eraPs report, as w~ll as of'technica.l and practical measure's t~ economize

the time of the General Assembly which bave'been proposed 'by the Members of

the United Nations,.the Secretary""General·a.nd the members of the Committee

. themselves. Other members of the. Committee, h~wever, were of 'the opinion that

the Committeels responsibilities were limited to a study of methods of work

. and internal organization of the AsseDlply with a view to proposing measures

which ~10uld result in an econ~ of t1Jne., .These membe~s felt that the ,

Committee. should exemrne oply. such rules of procedure ~Thich might be

· instrumental in expediting the work of the Assembly.

6~ PartTuo of this report consists of a/series of suggestions, the

adoption of whioh would, in the opinion of .the Committee, assist considerably

in expeditin~ the work of· the Asee1Jl.bly and permit the full consideration of

¥.J6~tant problema on the agenda without requiring the representatives to

~ay away from their home countries for inconveniently long periods. Part

Three contains a proposed re-draft of the.provisional rules of procedure.

The Committee felt that every improvement in the 'rules which wOUld make

debates on procedures unnecessary would result in a definite economw of

time.

The. draft rules preparea by the Secretary-General ana illcorporated in

document A/316, served as a'basis for the discussions. of the Committee.. .

· 7. 'The Secretary-General communicated, for the infQrmation of the Committee,

a letter from.the Chairman of the Adviso~Cammitteeon Administrative and

BudgetarY, Questions, suggesting changesJ:t.n'QhapterV!I of the Provisional

Rules. of Procedure .which would alter thEt'1ti.tie of the Advisory Committee and

amend certain rules regarding its standing functions. As these' suggestions

were transmitted for information on~Ylthe Committee took note of the

lJroposed ·revisions a~ reviewed Provisional Rules 37 to 40 pnerely fi.om the

roint of view of drafting. The opinion. was expressed that the Fifth·

Cl;,.,~,ttee should study the rules contained1nChapter VII from tl1e point of

. ~'ew 0~8ubstaDce before their final adoption.

q. The Oommittee' refrained from cC?Dsidering the r~es contained in

· Chat;r~er IX - Len~ages and X ..,Records~~ ~e Committee felt ,that, these rules

had political and financial aspects whi~h should be OODsidered by tbe

appropriate Committees of the Aaa&Xll.bl$. The' 0otD1!dttee was ~ntormed that a

special study was being made by the Secreta:r'1e.t of the application of the

/rulee

TI

rules on languages and records and- tl'i8t a; full report 'Would ':-'be'made on these

matt'ersto the General Assembly. . --

9. -, .Chapter XVII - Admission of New l1e~bers to the United Nations - was not

ezamtned by the Commltte~. A ~pec1al ebimnittee, entrusted 'With the task ofr

preparing rules governing'the admission of new Members, had been established

by the General Assembly on 15_December 1946 and had, after consultation 'With

'the committee of the Security Council, presented its report direct~1 to the

General Assembly.

10. In the course of its eleven meetings the Committee did not have time to

engage in a detailed study of the probable effects of the applicaticn of each

of the revised Rules of Procedttre and could have desired more time at its

disposal in order to prepare the best possible texts.

PART T\VOAgenda

11. The COI:lIIlitt.ee 1s of the opinion that wherever possible items proposed for

inclusion in the agenda. should be submitted in time for inclusion in the

provisional agenda which is communicated to Members sixty days in advance of

.the opening of the session. If this is impossible, every effort should be

made· to ensure that they are included in the supplementary list.

12. - It is recogni:;ed that no rigid rule can be establil!hed on this question

but the observance of this principle would lead to a saving of time inasmuch

as Member Governm~nts would have had sufficient notice of proposed agenda

items to enable them to prepare more thoroughly for the debate on those items.

-13 •. A somewhat atricter practice should be f'ollmTed with regard to requestsI

for. the inclusion of acditional items made after the circulation of the

s'l):pplementary list or dur:lng the cour-se of the session. Rule 15 of the

Provisional Rules of ?rocedure has been modified 'With a view to requiring

the General Assembly to examine the tmportance end urgency of an additional

item before agreeing to include it in the agenda. The Committee discussed the

desirahility of a suitable time limit for the submission of re;uests for the

inclusion of additional :.te:ms - for instance the end of the General Debate

but d~cided to make no specific recommendation on tllis subject.

Documentation_ ..--......_........-14. The ci't:'culation of essential documents iolell in advance of their

discussion in the General Assembly'or its committees would greatly facilitate

ai. ... e:.=-ed~ te the 'Work of the Assembly. When items are submitted for inclusion

in th~ aGenda supporting documentation should be forwarded at the same time

or shcrtly thereafter, whenever possible. While the Committee fully realizes

that this, is difficult end in some case~ impossible, it wishes to call the

attention of the Genoral Assembly to the desirability Qf this principle as

an objective.

/15. The Secretariat

rI

\

A/388Page 4

~l5., The,Secretar1at, should make arr'neements for arap1d and efficl~nt

distribution of documents. It is sug~ested that epebial priority be given

to the Journal and to the progts,1I'mlEk:ot tneetingfi, and tha.t when diapatchod by

the Secretariat they should beer, some distinguishing mark so that

del~tions,_ upon the receipt of their documentation, will be able to identify

th,ese- "!iwo important docuaenbs 'immediately. The COIIlIIlittee noted that the

Sec:~etariat is able to: provide, individual boxes for delegations at -both

Flushing and Lake Success where urgent doctUn6nts'circulated 'during the day

may ~e collected, and Buggests that delegations might avail'themselves more

ful~ of this service.

Organization of Committees

16. v1hile it is desirable to schedule Main Committees to meet simultaneously,

the fact should not be overlooked that too many meetings held at one time may

place too heavy a burden on the representatives of the members of the

General Assemb~, and particularly those members having small delegations.' If

the debates are to be maintained on the high level necessary fer the Assembly

to condu~t its business wisely and efficiently, the schedule of meetings

must be so arranged as to allow the members of delegations attending them the

neceasary time for study and consultation. Failure to do this would be to

underestilnate the importance of the deliberations of the General AS3embly

and of its Committees.

17. rlevertheless; the Committee calls attention to the fact that the\

number of Main Committees meeting simultaneously affects materially the

'lencthof the General Assemb~. A relati"'lely light schedule of meetings in

the early veeks o! the Assembly leads inevitably to an unduly heavy schedule

in its later stages. ,The scheduling of meotings shou;Ld therefore take into

account: (1) the capacity of delegations to cope with~the work involved;

(2) the desirability of establishing a relatively uniform work-load during

the entire session; and (3) the relation 01 the daily schedule to to.8

duration oi' the AgfclenibJ.y.

18. ET'ery effort s:lOuld be made by the officers of the AssembJ.y 8:LJd by the

Secretcriat to announce the schedule of meetings woll in advance, and to

avoid as far as possible any modification therein. During the early

8ta0e~ cf c~mmittge wor~the schedu13 of meetings might be anno~cod for one

. W6el" iL-~ advance , nowevfl,C, the establishmel1t of sub-comatttees, the

tE;.Ul_G.~ion of tho work of, some of tte Main Committees, and the variable

lL~u c_ those sti:l in session may r~~u1re adJust~ents in the schedules in

the l.J.ter stages of tha work of the General Asee:mbJ.,y. It would seem

1!'1.~ra0tica1l1e, durh~g this period, to 'estac1.ish a rigid schedule for more

thanC'tyro, or three da;y-s in advance.

meeting and the 'actual open1rlg ~t the ~stihg i!:Jnot inconsidera.ble. Mambero

or the .General Assembly are urge.a. to arrive promptly, and it is suggested

that the President of- the Assembly and the Chairmen of Committees open the

meetings ~s soon as a quorum is present,

Limitation of Debabe ,_...._--- ,20. ilhe Provisi.onal Rules·of Procedure provide that the General Assembly ':may

at any time -lim!t the ,time allow-ed to' epeakera ,' The COJ!!~ttee recognizes. .

there are ocCaS10:180n which this rule can be applied in the interests of

economizing t1D1e without detriment to the rishts of any mem"berof the

Asse.mb~. The Committee however, desires to call the attention of the

Assembly to the serious difficulties attendant upon any gener-al, rule

limiting the length of speeches, and it did not consider it advisable to

establish such a time limit. To do eo would place in a disadvantageous

position representatives whose limited knowledge of the working languagos

makes it difficult for them to eXPress ~eir points o~ view as concisely

as those who speak fluent English orFre~ch. As a result a tendency might

. develop for these representativel;l to speak in their native languages} which

would require translation into both English and French with a resultant

loss of time.

Establishment of Sub-Committees-----------------..'"""'~-.-...--

21. The Main Conr::uittees shoul.d .consider carsfti.lly at all early stage in.

their work how their programme might be e~pedited b.1 the establishment of

sub-committees. It is of course impossible to adopt fixed rules op this

matter. If the debate in full committee showed that there, was general

agreement on the question under discussion but disagreement on points of

detail, it would clearly be desirable to set up a B~ll drafting c~ttee

to prepare, a resolution for subm;Ls.l?ion to the. Main Committee. Similarly,

a marked division of opinion between t"TO schools of thought, with a number

of alterna.tive proposals on each side, might be the occasion for the

appointment of a Bub-committee com~osed of the main proponents on each side

to prepare an agreed text for submil?sion to the Main Committee. Technical

questions on which there -is no suQ~tantiaJ,. disagreement should be referred

to. Bub-committees as quickly as possible. The work of sub-connnittees

would.be facilitat$d b,y working info~.~~, and on occasion, in private.

Conduct of Business .

22. The Committee noted with interest that the Secretary-Ganeral is

prellaring a handbook containing a record of the applicatt-on of the rules

of procedure in previOUB ees6ion~ of ~4e Genera~ Assembly. ,The Assembly

upon the complet~on of the b~ndbQok} migpt wish to examine it in order to

determine whether or not ~t m1~~t b. u~ef~ in facilitating the conduct of

business.

~r~butl,2P of~geI:dl;,·.I~emt'l ~£~ CO!Ilmtttee~

'24. The reference of :the satllee,genda itc:n to two COllD:nj:~1ia<?s at the same~

time 1'S as a geIJeralrUle undesirable end ,results in unneeeseery duplication

,of the debate. In addition experierlce 'has shown that if an, itmll 1s raferred

aleo to another Committee in genoral tel~, that Co~m1ttee does not always

limit itself to the cons1deratibn of the aspects of the quostion in regard

.to which it is especially competent.

25. The Committ.ee suggests that, as a general rule, a single COIDmittee be

given responsibility for re~orting on a given agenda it~m aDd that, if the

opinion of ancthe:c COIDIllittoeia, needed, the l'atter be seized ,only of a

precise a:1d limHedques'tiol)~;Asuggest:ton, which received sonie support,

was made to the effect that a' ~mall Ad'Vi~Ory Gommittee of Jurists should .be

established to which the first flveMain':Comm1ttees could submit, the legal

aspects of questions under consideration. Other members of the Committee

felt, however, that such a Committee waf;! 'Dot necessary.

Ccmmitte~~~~

26. The COlIlIilittee reco:rm:nends that Rapport.eu:J:"s reports and oth~r documents

which have been circulated to memoers in advanoe shoul.d not be, read· in

plenary end Committee meetjI'lgs. Thil3 should not, of course, li1nit the

right 'of members to read from'such documents such passages as they'may

consider necessary.

S1m.ultaneou~;.t~l'Jlreta;~~27. The Committe~ gave careful consideration to the important-quastionof

the use by the Assembly of simultane9us'interpretatiori which would

contribute greatly to economizing the time of the Assembly and was informed

of certain experimental planning whioh ~d been carried out by the

Secretary-General in this field. As thisqueat10n is on the pro7isional

agenda of the second regular eessi~n of the General Assembly the Cc~ittee

limits itself to 1I18k~g the' observations wnich follow.

28. Experience not only in the United Nations but in other ipternational

. . bodies over. a ,period of years haa, in the 'opinion of the Committee,

demonstrated that altb,ough the systam of a1lllultan°ous int~rpretationp.aa

real merit, its use in al~ circumstances is not withou~ serious

dis8dvaI'ltagee. .Among these are. the following: "

'(b) The rUles· of ph:tesi'ilgin·b~th1h·languagesd:J.ffer SO. greatly fiom

those in others· as. to make translation by this S"jstem virtually

unintelligible.

(c) The interpretor, not knowing in advance what doc~mentswill

be quoted is unable to have at hand the official texts cited by the

speaker. In consecutive interpretation his colleagues are able to

collect the necessary documents for him dwing the course of the

original speech.

(d) The r-epreeerrtatdve does not hear th\3 translation of his speech and

is unable to control i ts accuracy or coreece the errors of the

interpreter.

(e) A physical and psychological barrier 1s created between the

spe~ker and his colleagues 1 and representatives miss the opport~nity

of familiariz-ing themselves with the languages spoken by other

representatives •

. 29. If a genera.l rule could be stated 1t would be that simultaneous

interpretation could very profitably be used for the translation into tne

remaining official languages duripg the ,consecutive translation of the

, speech into the other working language.

30. Subject to the limitations stated above, the system of simultaneous

interpretation can be used to advarrtage during a general debate in pf.enery

or Committee meetings, but is not suitable when detailed negotiations or the

reconciliation of various drafts are necessary.

31. While favouring the general rules stated above, the Committee feels that,

should simultaneous interpretation be used at any meeting without consecutive

interpretation, members should be permitted to request consecutive

interpretation at any time.

32~The Committee also took note in its discuosions on 6im~taneous

interpretation of the considerable econo~y in time that would result from its

use in the general debate in p;J.enary and committee meetings, and the cousequent

shortening of the length of the sessions Of the General Assembly.

Drafting of resolutions~------ _. --33. Experience has shown that the time of the General Assembly is sometimes

unnecessarily occu~ied by the re-drafting, during the meeting, of draft

resolutions because of unintentional ambiguities in the text. The attention

of members is called by the Committee to the fact that the assistance of the

Legal Department of the SecJ;'etariat is available at any time. It is suggested

that it would be useful., in preJ?8r;tng a draft resolution, to bring both the

English and French texte into contO;l:'mity before the draft is submitted to the

General Assembly,

A/388Page 8

34. The Committee dXa't'JS the attention of the General Cottmdttee to Rule 36of the Provislo:uil Rules of Procedure whlch empowers it to: change the form

but not the substance of'resolutions and Buggests that the General Co~ttee

might usefully aSElu!l'lG this function, if ocoa8~on so requires.-
