E/2002/27 E/CN.6/2002/13 Whatever action the Commission has taken now, my delegation, as a matter of principle, cannot tolerate the notion that the consensus of a given Member State will not be taken on board due to the shortage of time while the opportunity is available for that. Furthermore, my delegation will not allow this situation to be repeated in future sessions, which will undoubtedly constitute a serious obstacle to the work of this important Commission. We would also pose this question after today’s vote: How will the Commission deal with this matter at its next session. We need to be absolutely clear on this and we hope that delegations here will have an answer. 68
