In accordance with its programme of work, the Conference resumes today its further consideration of outstanding matters. It is also understood that, in accordance with rule 30 of its rules of procedure, any member wishing to do so may raise any subject relevant to the work of the Conference. I have no speakers on my list today. Does any delegation wish to take the floor at this stage? Since that is not the case, I should like to inform members that all Groups have now indicated agreement with my suggestion that we should hold an informal open-ended consultation of the Conference on Friday, 20 April, at 3 p.m., on the subject of its improved and effective functioning. We shall hold the consultation in this conference room with amplification services only, as is the practice for this kind of meeting. As indicated in the timetable of meetings to be held by the Conference during this week, we shall hold the first informal meeting on the substance of agenda item 3, "Prevention of nuclear war, including all related matters", immediately after this plenary meeting today. As I have no other business for today I now intend to adjourn this plenary meeting. The next plenary meeting of the Conference on Disarmament will be held on Thursday, 19 April, at 10 a.m. The meeting rose at 10.15 a.m.

The language used is formal and diplomatic, suggesting that the conference is focused on international relations and agreements rather than any of the specific categories listed.
