He wished to point out that his Government accepted that resolution and had communicated to the Secretary-General its readiness to implement it. However, the resolution in question contained interrelated elements, for not only was Israel called upon to withdraw its forces, but the Lebanese Government was called upon to ensure the security of the border between Lebanon and Israel. Only when that condition was met would his Government withdraw its forces, for it did not believe that such a withdrawal should affect the security and well-being of Israeli citizens. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top:5.5px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;color:#000000;padding-bottom:5.5px;text-align:left;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">39. <u>Mr MOOSE<\/u>&nbsp;(United States of America) requested that the draft resolution be put to the vote. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top:5.5px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;color:#000000;padding-bottom:5.5px;text-align:left;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">40. <u>At the request of the representative of Tunisia, the vote was taken by roll-call<\/u>. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top:5.5px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;color:#000000;padding-bottom:5.5px;text-align:left;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">41. <u>Uruguay, having been drawn by lot by the Chairperson, was called upon to vote first<\/u>: <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top:5.5px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;color:#000000;padding-bottom:5.5px;text-align:left;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><u>In favour<\/u>:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Austria, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Botswana, Canada, Cape Verde, Chile, China, Colombia, Congo, Cuba, Czech Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Germany, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Mozambique, Nepal, Niger, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Tunisia, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Uruguay, Venezuela. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top:5.5px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;color:#000000;padding-bottom:5.5px;text-align:left;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><u>Against<\/u>: United States of America. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top:5.5px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;color:#000000;padding-bottom:5.5px;text-align:left;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><u>Abstaining<\/u>: Argentina, Liberia, Romania. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top:5.5px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;color:#000000;padding-bottom:5.5px;text-align:left;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">42. <u>The draft resolution was adopted by 49 votes to 1, with 3 abstentions<\/u>. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top:5.5px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;color:#000000;padding-bottom:5.5px;text-align:left;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">\/&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:center;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><u>The meeting rose at 6 p.m.<\/u><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS Fifty-fifth session SUMMARY RECORD OF THE 51st MEETING Held at the Palais des Nations, Geneva, on Friday, 23 April 1999, at 3 p.m. Chairperson: Ms. ANDERSON (Ireland) \/&#8230;
