  1. “With such a formal mechanism for consultations in place, the views of the troop contributors could be more clearly conveyed to the Security Council on the operational issues germane to the specific mission, including those of a military nature, so that the Council could make more informed decisions. My delegation believes that increased transparency and democratization in decision-making, together with an adequate information-sharing system, is of vital importance for maintaining both broad support and a strong mandate, which are considered as the main factors necessary for the success of peace-keeping operations.”

  2. “However, we must not overlook the fact that the success of the United Nations peace-keeping operations is equally dependent on the active support and participation of the Member States, particularly the troop contributors. It is for this reason that my delegation supports the proposal further to improve the existing mechanism of the tripartite consultations, through the establishment of a subsidiary organ under Article 29 of the Charter, as suggested in the statement of Ambassador Cardenas. Given the limited military planning capability of the United Nations Secretariat, my delegation believes the proposal is particularly pertinent.”

  3. “It is in this context that the Member States have again placed strong emphasis during the current session of the General Assembly on the critical importance of the United Nations peace-keeping operations for the maintenance of global peace and security, and underlined the need to improve the existing arrangements for consultations among troop contributors, the Security Council and the Secretariat. The Republic of Korea fully recognizes that the Security Council bears primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, and therefore assumes the overall political responsibility for all the peace-keeping operations of the United Nations.”

  4. “The briefings at the meetings sometimes offer no new elements additional to those already made available to the troop contributors through the published report of the Secretary-General. Furthermore, the recommendations and views expressed by the troop contributors in the course of these tripartite consultations have not been adequately reflected in subsequent decisions of the Security Council, and for many troop-contributing countries the unpredictability of the fate of their own troops remains a persistent concern.”

  5. “As one of the strong supporters of these consultations, the Republic of Korea is pleased to note that the tripartite mechanism has now become a regular feature of the United Nations and has proved useful since it was put into place through the Security Council presidential statement in November of last year. However, we feel compelled to point out that the consultations have also revealed many limitations and shortcomings, some of which I should like briefly to mention here today. It was often the case that meetings were convened only moments before the expiration of a mandate. My delegation is of the View that such meetings require much better organized preparation and scheduling, as envisaged in the presidential statement.”

  6. “At the outset, Sir, I would like to congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of December. I am confident that your experience and wisdom will enable the Council to discharge its responsibilities effectively. I take this opportunity also to convey my delegation's deep appreciation to your predecessor, Ambassador Al-Khussaiby of Oman, for his excellent guidance of the Council's work last month. Turning to the item under discussion, I should like to thank Ambassador Emilio cardenas of Argentina for his statement, which conveyed the general sentiments of numerous Member States on the consultations between the Council and the troop-contributing countries and presented some specific proposals for improvements.”
