RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
[on the report of the Third Committee (A/54/596)]
54/129. High-level Political Signing Conference for the United Nations Convention
against Transnational Organized Crime
The General Assembly,
Recalling its resolution 53/111 of 9 December 1998, in which it decided to establish an open-ended
intergovernmental ad hoc committee for the purpose of elaborating a comprehensive international convention
against transnational organized crime and of discussing the elaboration, as appropriate, of international
instruments addressing trafficking in women and children, combating the illicit manufacturing of and
trafficking in firearms, their parts and components and ammunition, and illegal trafficking in and transporting
of migrants, including by sea,
Bearing in mind that in resolution 54/126 of 17 December 1999 it requested the Ad Hoc Committee on
the Elaboration of a Convention against Transnational Organized Crime to schedule sufficient time, subject
to the availability of funds from the regular budget or from extrabudgetary resources, for the negotiation of
the draft protocols addressing trafficking in persons, especially women and children, the illicit manufacturing
of and trafficking in firearms, their parts and components and ammunition, and smuggling of migrants by
land, air and sea, in order to enhance the possibility of their completion at the same time as the draft
Convention,
Acknowledging the progress made thus far by the Ad Hoc Committee towards the goal of completing
negotiations in 2000,
