  1. “On this point, my delegation suggests that we incorporate how PBC's field visits can better complement the Security Council's field missions by updating relevant paragraphs of note 507, namely, paragraphs 66 through 69. Finally, I wish to express my delegation's appreciation once again to all members of the Security Council that have organized previous open debates on working methods for their tireless efforts to make the much-needed change in how the Council conducts its day-to-day operations, one step at a time. My delegation will continue working with them in the process. The meeting rose at 1.45 pm.”

  2. “The Republic of Korea, as a current member of both the Economic and Social Council and the PBC, is committed to working closely with other Member States in following through with its implementation. In this regard, my delegation appreciates the initiative of Egypt, as a designated coordinator on the stocktaking exercise on the PBC's advisory function to the Security Council, to convene a meeting on 14 April. A number of useful points were raised and discussed, including the need for closer coordination in terms of the sequence and the content of messaging and the potential of dispatching PBC field visits to complement the Security Council's fact-finding missions.”

  3. “We have to remember that the Report of the High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations (see S/2015/446) and the subsequent report of the Secretary-General also recommended the revitalization of the Working Group on Peacekeeping Operations. Thirdly, better coordination with other relevant bodies of the United Nations system, such as the Peacebuidling Commission (PBC) and the Economic and Social Council, should be promoted. My delegation made the same point at the open debate on working methods held in October 2015 (see S/PV.7539). As we are all aware, the adoption of resolution 2282 (2016) was a landmark achievement not only of the Council, but of the United Nations membership in general.”

  4. “No resolution of the Council can be expected to be adhered to if the Council shows little interest in effectively implementing its decision through its own subsidiary body. Even resolution 2270 (2017) - imposing one of the most comprehensive and robust sanctions regime ever to be adopted by the Council - must be faithfully implemented ifit is to accomplish its goals. By refining paragraphs 46 through 50 of note 507, the Council could further solidify the working methods of its subsidiary bodies. In addition, the Working Group on Peacekeeping Operations can be instrumental in strengthening the credibility of Security Council decisions by contributing to greater support for the mandates of various peacekeeping missions.”

  5. “To that end, we need the spontaneity of the entire membership. The paragraphs of note 507, especially those encouraging active interactions between the Council and the broader membership, such as paragraphs 42 to 45, could be better utilized in that regard. The Council could boost the legitimacy of its actions with more public meetings in lieu of the current practice of holding informal consultations. Paragraphs 28 and 31 of note 507 are of particular relevance in that context. Secondly, the working methods of the subsidiary bodies must be improved. The level of the effectiveness of sanctions committees is directly related to the authority of the Security Council's sanctions regime.”

  6. “I would like to thank you, Sir, for organizing today's open debate on the working methods of the Security Council. Bearing in mind the President's guidelines for today's debate, I would like to focus on, among others, three topics of particular interest to my delegation. These are related but not limited to sections IV, VI, VII, VIII and XI of the annex to S/2010/507. First, efforts to improve the working methods of the Security Council should be undertaken with a view to enhancing the Council's transparency, accountability, legitimacy, and efficiency. From the ongoing situations in Syria, Iraq and South Sudan to nuclear threat of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and emerging threats of violent extremism, the decisions of the Security Council must be respected and faithfully implemented in accordance with the Charter.”
