Since then, the Committee has held 45 meetings. 2. At the 183rd meeting, on 30 January 1974, the Committee elected Ambassador Charles G. Maina (Kenya) Chairman for the year 1974 and decided that the delegations of Costa Rica and Indonesia should provide the two Vice- Chairmen for the same period. 3. The present report, adopted on 31 December 1974, covers the period between 16 December 1973 and 15 December 1974. It follows as a whole the outline of previous reports in its body and annexes. However, inasmuch as meetings of the Committee are held in private in accordance with established procedure, it was felt that some general information on the Committee and its working procedure should be included in the present report (see chap. I, sect. A). 4. Also, considering that the Security Council, in its relevant resolutions, has always emphasized the responsibility of Governments in the effective implementation of the sanctions, the Committee decided to devote a full chapter of the present report to actions taken by Governments in that regard (see chap. II). 5. Comments annual report and views of various Committee members concerning the seventh and the work of the Committee during 1974 are included in annex I. 1/ Official Records of the Security Council, Twenty-ninth Year, Special Supplement No. 2 and Special Supplement No. 2A.
