Provisional rules of procedure were initially adopted by the Committee at its first and second sessions and subsequently amended at its third, seventh and thirty-sixth sessions. At its 918th meeting, on 26 July 1989, the Committee decided to make its rules of procedure definitive, eliminating the term “provisional” from the title. The rules of procedure were subsequently amended at the forty-seventh, forty-ninth, fiftieth, fifty-ninth, seventy-first, eighty-first, eighty-third and 100th sessions. The current version of the rules was adopted at the Committee’s 2852nd meeting during its 103rd session.
