  1. “On the basis of those arguments, the Non- Aligned Movement cautions about the danger of the Council's subsequently adopting an outcome on those two issues that could prejudge or undermine the decision or recommendation that would be made by the Assembly in due course. The Non-Aligned Movement underscores the need for full respect for the functions and powers of the principal organs, in particular the Assembly, and to maintain the balance among them within their respective functions and powers in accordance with the Charter, as well as the need for the States Members of the Organization, in respecting and upholding the Charter, to stop any attempt to shift issues on the agenda of the Assembly - and the Economic and Social Council, for that matter - to the Security Council.”

  2. “In that regard, the Non-Aligned Movement cautions about the danger of encroachment by the Council on issues which clearly fall within the functions and powers of the Assembly and its subsidiary bodies. While noting that peacekeeping operations procurement is being discussed by the Council, the Non-Aligned Movement recalls once again that the preparation and submission of the reports concerning those issues were in fact requested by the Assembly and that those issues are still under its active consideration. In addition, the Non-Aligned Movement stresses that the Charter provides the Assembly with the competence to consider issues relating to the financial and budgetary arrangements of peacekeeping operations.”

  3. “We would have preferred that the Security Council draw its lessons from the consequences emanating from that report and desist from continuing its encroachment into areas that are beyond its mandate and competence. While mindful of the multifaceted and multidisciplinary character of the mandates of peacekeeping operations sanctioned by the Security Council, and bearing in mind Article 24 of the Charter, the Non-Aligned Movement strongly affirms that Article 24 and the aforementioned character do not necessarily provide the Council with the competence to address issues which fall within the functions and powers of the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council.”

  4. “Not only is it inappropriate, therefore, for the Security Council to discuss issues of oversight and management, which are the functions of the General Assembly; it is even more inappropriate to have that discussion based on a report or the salient elements of a report that was mandated by the Assembly and which is to be placed before it by the Secretary-General in due course. We are all, of course, well aware of the consequences of the Security Council's involving itself in the management of United Nations programmes. The Volcker Committee report and its searing criticism of the role played by the Security Council are all too fresh for all of us.”

  5. “As we all have recognized, the audit in question is one that was mandated by the Assembly through its resolution 59/296. In point of fact, the proposal requesting the Secretary-General to conduct a comprehensive management audit of risk areas in the management of peacekeeping operations was introduced by the developing countries in order to identify possible instances of fraud and abuse of authority. The outcome of that audit, which is contained in the draft report of the Office of Internal Oversight Services, is yet to be introduced in the Assembly.”

  6. “I have the honour to speak on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). At the outset, NAM. congratulates you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of February. My delegation expresses its appreciation to the Security Council for giving its consent to NAM. to participate in this important meeting. Like the Group of 77 and China, NAM. insists that the Security Council is not the forum in which to discuss questions relating to peacekeeping operations procurement, which is a matter that falls within the functions and powers of the General Assembly. The General Assembly is the chief oversight body of the United Nations. Oversight of procurement, including for peacekeeping operations, as with other aspects of management, is the prerogative of the Assembly.”

  8. “As an established multilateral regional security forum, the ASEAN Regional Forum embodies the principal regional process, initiated by ASEAN to engage its dialogue partners and other interested countries in the Asia-Pacific region to come together for confidence-building dialogue and cooperation activities. ASEAN Foreign Ministers also hold regular consultations with their counterparts from other regional organizations on the margins of the annual General Assembly sessions in New York. Under this arrangement, ASEAN Foreign Ministers have met their counterparts from the Rio Group, the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Economic Cooperation Organization and the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation. These meetings serve a very useful purpose by promoting mutual understanding and cooperation on a myriad of issues of common interest.”

  11. “ASEAN looks forward to future summit meetings with the United Nations to maintain and promote closer cooperation between the two organizations. Moreover, the adoption of General Assembly resolution 57/35 in 2002 generated additional impetus in our cooperation, as it encouraged both ASEAN and the United Nations to increase contacts and to further identify areas of cooperation, as appropriate. In that regard, ASEAN and the United Nations, as well as the specialized agencies, must explore ways and means of promoting further ASEAN-United Nations cooperation.”

The summit also expressed support for the efforts of the Secretary-General of the United Nations to enhance the effectiveness of the Organization and the multilateral system it represents to meet the challenges of the millennium.”

  15. “In that connection, and with a view to promoting peace and stability in the region, the eighth ASEAN summit, held at Bangkok in 1995, agreed that ASEAN should explore ways and means of enhancing cooperation with the United Nations. With regard to pursuing that commitment, we recall the successful and fruitful meeting held between ASEAN leaders and the Secretary-General of the United Nations at the first ASEAN-United Nations summit, held on 12 February 2000 in Bangkok. The summit called for closer cooperation between ASEAN and the United Nations in activities such as exchanging information and organizing conferences and seminars on issues relating to regional security, with financial support from the United Nations.”
