  1. “We hope that the ideas and proposals shared on the implementation of the measures contained in note S/2006/507 and on additional measures will be followed up on appropriately and that a timely report will be issued on their implementation, which should not be limited to the Security Council Informal Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Questions. In conclusion, I wish to emphasize that, beyond the formalities of this debate, all members of the Security Council need to translate the concerns and proposals regarding the working methods of the Council into specific action that will make it possible to achieve the ultimate goal of guaranteeing the transparency, open interaction and effectiveness of the Council, without prejudice to other necessary and urgent reforms relating to its membership and representativeness.”

  2. “Appropriate Security Council interaction with other Member States and the other principal organs of the Organization, within the scope of their respective areas of authority, would contribute to improving the effectiveness of the Council and would facilitate the elimination of those matters previously placed on its agenda but not covered by its mandate. A permanent and transparent dialogue between the Council and the General Assembly, with each keeping to its proper purview, would also translate into higher quality for the annual and special reports which should be submitted in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.”

  3. “The same criterion should be implemented and strengthened for regional organizations and for countries that contribute troops to peacekeeping operations. Likewise, I must point out that many of the open meetings held by the Security Council correspond precisely to topics that fall outside its jurisdiction, but which, regrettably, it continues to seek to cast, in a forced way, as threats to international peace and security in order to interfere with the mandates of the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council.”

  4. “With regard to interaction and dialogue with countries that are not members of the Council, Ecuador appreciates the increased number of meetings open to participation by all Members of the United Nations over recent years, but regrets that such meetings continue to be the exception, while private consultations continue to be the rule. This is something that my country finds regrettable. In this context, while we recognize the important role that closed consultations can play in seeking solutions to specific problems that come under the authority of the Security Council, my country reaffirms that priority should be given to incorporating the opinions of the other Members of the United Nations, in respect for the provisions of Articles 31 and 32 of the Charter.”

  5. “Similarly, while we recognize the benefit for our region of the presentation of monthly reports by the Permanent Missions of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean that are members of the Security Council, it must be stated, in all honesty, that in many cases those reports have simply confirmed the lack of transparency between the permanent members of the Security Council and other Council members, thus contradicting the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the duty of the Council to respect them in carrying out its functions.”

  6. “On the question of transparency, we note that Council Presidents have continued to hold informal briefings on the programme of work, after its adoption, and we note the informational meetings held by the chairs of subsidiary bodies of the Security Council on their respective activities. However, with regard to the reports submitted by outgoing Presidents of the Council, there is no real systematic method in place or follow-up on the problems identified during their terms of office, which impedes the discussion and implementation of practical solutions.”

  7. “In the debate that took place on 27 August 2008 (see S/PV.5968), my country stressed that, despite some progress made in Security Council practices, the application of the measures in note S/2006/507 had been insufficient and uncertain. Unfortunately, almost two years later, we have seen that much still remains to be done to improve the implementation of these measures, especially those relating to transparency and to interaction with the rest of the Members of the United Nations, on whose behalf the Council should act, in accordance with Article 24 of the Charter of the United Nations.”

  8. “You also provide several examples of the possible issues you believe might be discussed at this meeting. In that respect, my country, Ecuador, associates itself with the statement made by the representative of Egypt on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement, reiterating the Movement's position at the fifty-first session of the General Assembly, as well as the relevant paragraphs of the Final Document of the Fifteenth Summit Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries Sharm el-Sheikh, of 2009, without prejudice to which I would like to make the following comments in my capacity as representative of Ecuador.”

  9. “Mr. Carrien-Mena (Ecuador) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, allow me to thank you, Mr. President, for having convened this open debate, which will enable us to improve the implementation of the practices and new and existing measures contained in the note by the President in document S/2006/507 on the Council's working methods, taking into consideration the results of the last debate held in August 2008 (see S/PV.5968), as well as the most recent practices of the Council. In the same way, thank you, Sir, for the concept paper circulated as an annex to your letter of 1 April (S/2010/165), in which you propose to focus this meeting on three basic issues: the transparency of the Security Council, interaction with non-members of the Council and the efficiency of the Council.”
