  1. “In conclusion, I would like to remind ourselves that the issue of the working methods of the Security Council should not be limited to issues particular to the Security Council. It is also important to understand that improving the Council's efficiency should be viewed within the context of a whole-of-system approach, in support of the mission of the entire United Nations.”

  2. “That will ensure a healthy exchange of ideas and lead to a thorough understanding of how the Council's action, or inaction, will impact people on the ground. It will also go a long way in ensuring that the Council is held to the highest standards of transparency in its deliberations on matters that, essentially, have a much larger and more far-reaching impact than the current membership of the Council. In the same vein, Council members should share information, developments and outcomes with the wider membership of the United Nations, the public, non-governmental organizations and civil society, as appropriate, through frequent debriefing sessions. That will help to promote understanding and support for the work of the Council.”

  3. “We also welcome ongoing coordination efforts between sanctions committees and the practice ofupdating the consolidated sanctions lists. The relevant sanctions committees should be further encouraged to assist Member States by consolidating and regularly updating lists of all prohibited items, again with specific harmonized system codes and lists of all sanctions measures, especially on the inspection of cargo and means of transportation. Such consolidated lists will serve as useful implementation guidelines for national undertakings and enhance collaboration across Security Council mechanisms. Secondly, Thailand urges members of the Council to continue convening public meetings and engaging the wider membership of the United Nations, particularly on issues with broader impacts and complexity.”

  4. “We would like to draw the attention of the Council to two areas we believe would benefit greatly from our combined focus on improvement. First, Security Council sanctions remain an indispensable tool for global collective action in maintaining international peace and security. We firmly believe that any such sanctions, when imposed, should continue to be targeted in order to minimize unintended economic and social consequences. Furthermore, sanctions achieve their intended goals when Member States implement them fully and effectively. As such, Member States rely heavily on clarity of measures and definitions of scope. In that respect, we welcome the inclusion of the harmonized system codes for prohibited items in the latest sanctions resolutions, and hope that will continue to be the practice in the future.”

  5. “Allow me briefly to congratulate Kuwait for assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of February. I would also like to express my appreciation to the Kuwaiti presidency for convening today's open debate on the Council's working methods under the item entitled "Implementation of the note by the President of the Security Council (S/2010/507)". The items on the Security Council's agenda are increasing in number, complexity and sensitivity. They require the Council to be ever more effective and efficient. The working methods of the Security Council therefore require constant review, so as to enable the Council to adapt and better fulfil its obligations in maintaining international peace and security. Many of the proposals and points raised by previous speakers have merit and enrich our discussions today.”
