In reference to the question raised earlier by the delegation of Mexico, I would like to recall that I had mentioned earlier that such discussions are being scheduled without prejudice to any efforts to prepare a programme of work, or indeed to enable the Conference on Disarmament to fulfil its mandate to negotiate disarmament treaties. I should also like to inform delegations that a request has been received from the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom to speak in the plenary on the occasion of International Women’s Day, as has been customary in recent years. It has been indicated that the WILPF would wish to do so in the next plenary meeting on 12 March.
