REPORTS OF THE LEGAL COMMITTEE (continued)<br />

INFORME DEL COMITÉ JURÍDICO (continuación)<br />

ДОКЛАД ЮРИДИЧЕСКОГО КОМИТЕТА (продолжение)<br />

<br />

<br />

1.1 The PRESIDENT:<br />

I thank those who are on time, but in the absence of a quorum shall postpone the meeting for five<br />

minutes.<br />

(The opening of the meeting is postponed for five minutes)<br />

1.2 I declare open the twenty-fourth plenary meeting of the <strong>General</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>. This morning’s meeting<br />

will be devoted to the examination of the reports of the Legal Committee and the report of Commission I.<br />

1.3 Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Director-<strong>General</strong>, we shall now proceed with the examination of the reports<br />

of the Legal Committee on items 5.1, 5.3, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7 of the agenda. In view of the fact that<br />

some of those items were also examined by Commissions I, II and III, and by the Administrative Commission,<br />

their consideration by the Legal Committee was carried out by order of priority. That is why I wish to propose<br />

that you examine the reports of the Legal Committee in their chronological order and not according to their order<br />

on the agenda. I remind you that we have already had the opportunity to examine the sixth report of the<br />

Committee relating to item 6.4 - the draft amendment to Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution - andthe<br />

ninth report relating to item 3.3 - examination of draft resolutions - during the eighteenth plenary meeting on the<br />

afternoon of 10 November. I should like to add for your information that the Legal Committee also considered a<br />

matter submitted to it by Commission I relating to the legal validity of an agreement. The report on this question<br />

has been conveyed to Commission I.<br />

1.4 I now invite the Chairperson of the Legal Committee to present the first report of the Committee on<br />

item 6.1, “Adoption of the Statutes of the <strong>UNESCO</strong> Institute for Statistics”. The related document is 30 C/73,<br />

and there is an addendum and corrigendum in Spanish only. I give the floor to the Chairperson of the Legal<br />

Committee.<br />

2.1 M. FERNÁNDEZ (Chili), Président du Comité juridique :<br />

Merci beaucoup. Madame la Présidente, Monsieur le Président du Conseil exécutif, Monsieur le<br />

Directeur général, je me propose donc de vous présenter tout d'abord le premier rapport du Comité juridique,<br />

relatif à l'adoption des statuts de l'Institut de statistique de l'<strong>UNESCO</strong> (documents 30 C/73, 30 C/73 Add. et Corr.<br />

pour la version espagnole).<br />

2.2 Les statuts de cet Institut ont déjà reçu l'aval du Conseil exécutif. Le Comité juridique leur a apporté de<br />

légères modifications et la Commission I a fait de même. La version finale du texte est celle que cette<br />

Commission a établie et qui figure dans son rapport (document 30 C/61, pages 10 et suivantes dans la version<br />

française).<br />

2.3 Le projet de la Commission I diffère de celui du Comité juridique sur les deux points suivants : dans le<br />

projet de résolution, au paragraphe 4, la Commission I a ajouté "permanente" après "lieu d'implantation" ; à<br />

l'article II, paragraphe 2, des statuts de l'Institut, la Commission I a supprimé les mots "menées dans le cadre de<br />

l'autonomie dont jouit".<br />

2.4 Le Comité juridique a pour sa part formulé deux recommandations : l'une à l'attention du Conseil<br />

d'administration de l'Institut sur la nécessité de clarifier, dans son règlement intérieur, ses procédures de<br />

fonctionnement, notamment en cas de vote ; l'autre à l'attention du Directeur général sur la nécessité d'assurer la<br />

représentation de différentes régions du monde lorsqu'il nommerait les membres du Conseil d'administration. Je<br />

vous remercie, Madame la Présidente.<br />

3.1 The PRESIDENT:<br />

Thank you, Mr Fernández. So you heard the slight difference between the proposals of the Legal<br />

Committee and of Commission I. As this was also considered by Commission I, I suggest that the best way to<br />

proceed would be for us to decide on this item when we consider the report of Commission I. Are there any<br />
