11. Reception and consideration of reports and recommendations (if any) from the General Assembly

The President: With regard to item 11, there are no reports to be considered at this stage.

12. Consideration of the submission of a special report (if any) to the General Assembly (Charter, Article 24, paragraph 3)

The President: With regard to item 12 of the agenda, there is nothing for the moment that we have to submit to the General Assembly in any special report.

13. Election of the members of the international Court of Justice (Statute, Articles 4, 7 to 12, 14)

The President: With regard to item 13 of the agenda, the Council may desire to leave this item until a later stage of our meetings. Are there any observations that anybody wishes to make in regard to the proposal to defer this item until a later time?

Badawi Pasha (Egypt): I think it should be dealt with at the same time as it is brought before the General Assembly.

The President: I believe, also, that the Preparatory Commission requested that it be left as late as possible in our proceedings.

I take it, therefore, that members are in agreement that this item should be left until a later stage in our proceedings.

Consideration of item 13 was deferred.
