The Security Council,

Having considered the item on its agenda as contained in document S/Agenda/906, [1]

Taking into account that the lack of unanimity of its permanent members at the 906th meeting of the Security Council has prevented it from exercising its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security,
