The credentials of the delegates of the Member States shown in the Annex hereto were found to be in conformity with the Rules of Procedure as constituting formal credentials; the Committee therefore proposes that the Health Assembly should recognize their validity. 5. The Committee examined notifications from the Member States listed below, which, while indicating the names of the delegates concerned, could not be considered as constituting formal credentials in accordance with the provisions of the Rules of Procedure. The Committee therefore recommends to the Health Assembly that the delegates of these Member States be provisionally seated with all rights in the Assembly pending the arrival of their formal credentials: Albania; Belarus; Colombia; Kiribati; Kyrgyzstan; Luxembourg; Malawi. 6. The delegate of Greece stated that, although Greece did not oppose the consensus in the Committee on Credentials, it would like to reiterate its well-known position that the use of the name “Republic of Macedonia” by The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia fully disregards United Nations Security Council resolutions 817 (1993) and 845 (1993).
