“Malaysia appreciates the fact that regional and subregional organizations are also invited to speak and participate in open thematic debates, particularly when such debates are relevant to a given organization. Further, we hope that the new trend of increased interaction with troop-contributing countries will be further expanded, given the indispensable role that those countries play in the maintenance of peace and security worldwide.”

“Further, we believe that the briefings given by the special representatives or heads of United Nations missions or by the Secretariat to the Council are inherently useful because they provide an account of what is actually happening on the ground. We advocate, therefore, greater transparency in the briefings made to the Security Council and for non-Council members to be allowed to hold watching briefs without the right to interject or interact. This would not only generate greater interest in these issues among the entire membership, but would also afford non-members of the Council the chance to understand subjects and viewpoints of the Council. Finally, we would like to touch on the thematic debates that now form the norm in the Council's monthly programme of work.”

“Those include such measures as having subsidiary bodies of the Council seek the views of Member States and having sanctions committees seek the views of those States affected by sanctions, which have either not been put in place or have been done sporadically and sparingly. This statement is focused on those measures. In cases where sanctions committees meet to discuss the requests of States to de-list entities or individuals from consolidated lists, that particular State should have the opportunity to either listen in on the proceedings of the Committee or be officially informed of the proceedings in which their requests were considered. This would enable the State concerned to better understand why certain de-listings took place, while others did not.”

“Malaysia notes that some measures contained in document S/2006/507 to enhance the efficiency and transparency of the Council's work have been implemented. However, as this exercise has yet to be completed, regular interactions such as today's meeting will provide the necessary impetus for their implementation. Some of the measures contained in document S/2006/507 - such as referring to all speakers at political and ambassadorial level by name and title and ensuring that draft documents be made available to non-Council members when these documents are introduced within informal consultations - lend themselves to quick implementation; others less so.”

“I thank you, Mr. President, for convening this meeting and for your concept paper (S/2010/l65). My delegation aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of Egypt on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. The concept paper that we have before us all too quickly assumes that the aim of prompt and effective action is inherently incompatible with that of gaining the support of the wider United Nations membership. By contrast, Malaysia firmly believes that in many situations, effective action requires the support of the entire international community. By the same token, Malaysia firmly believes that the principles of transparency, interaction and dialogue with non-members, as well as efficiency, must be applied to the entire spectrum of the Council's work, including in the implementation of its resolutions.”
