Note by the President of the Security Council
1. Further to the note by the President of the Security Council dated 31 May 1995 (S/1995/438) concerning the Council's documentation and other procedural questions, the President of the Security Council wishes to state that all members of the Security Council have indicated their agreement with the following proposals:
The following improvements should be introduced to make the procedures of the Sanctions Committees more transparent:
The Chairman of each Committee should give an oral briefing to interested Members of the United Nations after each meeting, in the same way as the President of the Security Council now gives oral briefings following informal consultations of Council members;
The Chairman of each Committee should be asked to bring to the attention of its members and of the Members of the United Nations the improvements in procedures of the Committees which were agreed to by the members of the Council on 29 March and 31 May 1995 (see S/1995/234 and S/1995/438).
2. The members of the Council will continue their consideration of other suggestions concerning the Council's documentation and related matters.
