Mdm Chairperson,
1 I have the honor to introduce, on behalf of the Bureau, the draft resolution on the Model Provisions on Mediation for International Investment Disputes and Guidelines on Mediation for International Investment Disputes of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, as contained in document A/C.6/78/L.8. Maximilian Gorke of Austria and I had the privilege of co-coordinating the informal consultations on the draft resolution.
2 The draft resolution is based on relevant decisions adopted by the Commission earlier this year. Under the terms of this draft resolution, the General Assembly would recommend the use of the Model Provisions on Mediation for International Investment Disputes and Guidelines on Mediation for International Investment Disputes and request the Secretary-General to make all efforts to ensure that the two texts become generally known and available by disseminating them broadly to Governments and other interested bodies.
3 In our view, the text of the draft resolution represents a consensus among delegations. Therefore, we recommend that the Sixth Committee adopt the draft resolution without a vote.
4 Thank you for your attention.
