“t’;\RT VIII, CONSIDERATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER XVII OF THE CHARTER 423

GENERAL lNTRODUCTlON

The present volume constitutes the eighth su plement to the Repertoire of the Practice of the Security Council, 1944-19.51, whit R was issued in 1954. It covers the proceedings of the Security Council from the 1813th meeting, on 20 February 1975, to the 226lst meeting, on 19 December 1980. Further supplements covering the proceedings of later meetings will be issued at suitable intervals.

In order to make it easier to trace the Council’s practice in respect of any given topic over the entire period covered by the eight volumes, the headings under which the practices and procedures of the Council were presented in the original volume have been generally maintained unchanged in this Supplement. Topics that the Council did not discuss anew during this time are identified by double asterisks.

The methods employed and the principles observed in the preparation of this Supplement are the same as for the original volume of the Reperfoire. They arc explained in the general introduction to that volume. The Reperfoire is an expository work, which presents the results of an empirical survey of the procedures of the Council in a way calculated to make reference easy, and constitutes essentially a guide to the proceedings of the Council.

As was observed in the original volume, the Repertoire is not intended as a substitute for the records of the Council, which constitute the only comprehensive and authoritative account of its deliberations. The categories employed to arrange the material are not intended to suggest the existence of procedures or practices that have not been clearly or demonstrably established by the Council itself. The Council is at all times, within the framework of the Charter of the United Nations, “master of its own procedure”. The object of the Repertoire will have been achieved if readers, by using the descriptive titles of the headings under which the material is presented, are enabled to find relevant proceedings in order to draw conclusions for themselves concerning the practice of the Council.

Details of the decisions of the Council have been included where appropriate in the accounts of its proceedings that make up this volume. The term “decision” has again been used to mean not only those “decisions” to which specific reference was made in the text of Articles of the Charter, but all significant steps decided upon by the Council, whether by vote or otherwise, in the course of consideration of a question.

The reader should refer for full explanations of the organization and presentation of material to the explanatory matter in the original volume. An effort has been made to avoid unnecessary repetition of such explanations in this Supplemenr.

References to the official records of the meetings of the Security Council are given in the following form:

Official Records: 2199th mtg., para. 49. Documents of the Council are identified by the serial

number in the S/ series. Where reference is given to a number in the S/ Series, this indicates that the text is available as a mimeographed document only. Where the mimeographed document has been printed in the supple- ments to the Ofjiciul Recor&, the reference is given as follows:

&ample: S/l 1659. OR, 30th yr., Suppl. for Jan.-March 1975.

For documents printed only in the Officio1 Records of matings, reference is given to the meeting and paragraph number.

Example. S/12958, 2106th mtg., para. 7.

References to resolutions of the Council, published in yearly volumes of Resolutions und De&ions of the Secu- rity Council, follow the system adopted in 1964. They are identified by number, followed by the year of adop- tion in parentheses.

Example: Resolution 373 (1975).

References to the Official Records of the Genera1 ;oymmb/y and their supplements are given in the following

GAOR. 32nd sess., Suppl. No. 45 (A/32/45). For resolutions of the General Assembly:

Resolution 3363 (XXX) for the period prior Lo 1976;

1976. References from one chapter of the Repertoire to

another chapter are given in the following form: See chapter XI, case 3.

References to cases in the same chapter are given in the following form:

See case 5. The original volume of the Repertoire should be cited

as Repertoire of the Practice of the Security Council, 1946-1951. The present volume should be cited as Reper- toire of the Practice of the Security Council, Supplement 1975-1980.

The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this publication do no imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country or territory or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers.

A list of short and official titles for agenda items considered by the Council throughout the period 1975- 1980 is presented below. The short titles were formulated exclusively for the Repertoire in order to clarify for the reader the contents of the item under consideration. Hence they have no official standing.
