text: World Conference on Sanctions against Racist South Africa, to be held in June 1986. He suggested that the draft resolution should be considered at the current session under item 1. 4. If he heard no objections, he would take it that the Council adopted the provisional agenda for the first regular session of 1986 (E/ 1986/30), with the two additional questions included under item 1. The agenda Was-adopted. 5. The PRESIDENT invited the Council to turn its attention to the note by the Bureau concerning 17 E/1986/SR.5 the organization of the work of the session (E/ 1986/L.12). Agenda item 14, "Elections and nom­ inations", was scheduled to be taken up on 22 May. However, the Group of Western European and other States had requested that the election to its vacant seat should be held earlier, in order for the Group to be fully represented at the session of the Commission on Human Settlements to be convened on 5 May. He suggeste~ that the request should be granted and that the election should take place at the Council's 6th meeting. It was so decided. 6. The PRE~IDENT said that the note by the Bureau contamed no recommendation as to time­ limits for statements made in exercise of the right of reply _nor as to t~e numb~r. of times the right could be exerc!sed. Pendmg a declSlon on that issue, previous practice would be followed: the number of interven­ tions iJ?. the exer.cise of th~ right of reply for any delegation at a gtven meetmg should be limited to two per item; the first intervention should be limited to five minutes and the second to three minutes. He suggested that the Bureau should continue its infor­ mal consultations on the matter and make its recom­ mendations thereon at a later meeting. 
analysis: The text appears to be related to the United Nations and its internal proceedings, specifically discussing the organization of a session and the agenda items to be considered. The topics mentioned, such as the election of a vacant seat and the right of reply, do not seem to be directly related to any specific sector or field, but rather to the procedural and administrative aspects of the UN.
