Stresses that inaction by the General Assembly with regard to the recommendations to graduate eligible countries is prejudicial to the credibility of the least developed country category, and in that regard urges the Assembly to take note of the action by the Council on the recommendation of the Committee related to inclusion in and graduation from the list of least developed countries at its first session following the decisions of the Council;

Reaffirms that smooth transition is vital to ensuring that graduating countries are eased onto a sustainable development path without any disruption, and emphasizes that a successful transition needs to be based, for each graduating country, on its own national strategy for a smooth transition, developed under national leadership with the support of the international community, as appropriate, presenting a comprehensive and coherent set of specific, predictable and transformative measures selected in accordance with the priorities of the country, while taking into account its own specific challenges, vulnerabilities and strengths;

Acknowledges with appreciation the contributions made by the Committee to the ad hoc working group to further study and strengthen the smooth transition process for countries graduating from the least developed country category;

Requests the Committee, at its fifteenth session, to examine and make recommendations on the theme chosen by the Council for the high-level segment of its substantive session of 2013;

Also requests the Committee to monitor the progress in the development of countries graduating from the list of least developed countries and to include its findings in its annual report to the Council;

Expresses its satisfaction at the increased frequency of interaction between the Council and the Committee, and encourages the Chair of the Committee for Development Policy and, as necessary, other members of the Committee to continue this practice, as specified in Council resolution 2011/20, within existing resources and as appropriate.
