Artikel 110 Constitutie van de Postunie van de Staten van het Amerikaanse Werelddeel, Spanje en Portugal

Article 110 Motions on Points of Order and Procedural Motions 1 During the discussion of any question and even, where appropriate, after the closure of the debate, a delegation may submit a motion on a point of order, for the purposes of requesting: – clarifications on the conduct of the debates; – observance of the Constitution or the Regulations; – a change in the order of discussion of proposals suggested by the Chairman. The motion on a point of order shall take precedence over all other questions, including the procedural motions referred to in paragraph 3 below. 2 The Chairman shall immediately give the desired clarifications or take the decision which he considers advisable on the subject of the motion on a point of order. In the event of an objection, the Chairman’s decision shall be put to the vote forthwith. 3 In addition, during the discussion of a question, a delegation may introduce a procedural motion with a view to proposing: a) the suspension of the meeting; b) the closure of the meeting; c) the closure of the list of speakers; d) the adjournment of the debate on the question under discussion; e) the closure of the debate on the question under discussion. Procedural motions shall take precedence, in the order set out above, over all other proposals except the motions on points of order referred to in paragraph 1 above. 4 Motions for the suspension or closure of the meeting shall not be discussed, but shall be put to the vote immediately. 5 When a delegation moves to close the list of speakers or to postpone or close the debate on a question under discussion, only two speakers against the procedural motion in question may speak, after which the motion shall be put to the vote. 6 A delegation which submits a motion on a point of order or a procedural motion may not, in its submission, deal with the substance of the question under discussion. The proposer of a procedural motion may withdraw it before it has been put to the vote, and any motion of this kind, whether amended or not, that is withdrawn may be reintroduced by another delegation.
