Intervention by the Permanent Representative of the Argentine Republic, Ambassador Martín García Moritán
March 8
Mr. CO-CHAIRS
ALLOW ME ONCE MORE TO THANK YOU AND HIGHLIGHT THE WAY YOU HAVE COME LEADING OUR WORK.
- VERY BRIEFLY, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOME ELEMENTS TO THIS INTERACTIVE DIALOGUE.
- IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT WE KEEP THIS CLIMATE OF RESPECT AND DIALOGUE IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY CONVERGENCES AND ADDRESS THE DIFFERENT POSITIONS WITH THE AIM OF ACHIEVING THE REFORM OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL THAT WE ALL DESIRED FOR SO MUCH TIME.
- NOW, THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT ALL WE AGREE THAT THE RESULT SHOULD BE A REFORM THAT IMPROVES THE OPERATION OF THIS ORGAN BUT WE DO NOT SEE THE SOLUTION IN THE SAME WAY.
- IN OUR OPINION, ONLY WHEN WE DETERMINATE IN DEPTH THE QUESTION OF HOW WE DEFINE A "MOST REPRESENTATIVE" SECURITY COUNCIL, WE WILL BE POSITION ON A TO ADVANCE IN REFORM.
- FOR THIS, IT IS NECESSARY TO IDENTIFY THE PRINCIPLES OF REFORM. WHILE WE DO NOT TREAT THIS FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION, WE WILL CONTINUE TO TURN INTO CIRCLES.
- THE PRINCIPLES ARE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE CHANGES AND / OR ADJUSTMENTS WE WISH TO DO. WE CAN NOT BUILD WITH
- THIS VISION HAS BEEN SHARED BY AN IMPORTANT NUMBER OF DELEGATIONS, WHICH HAVE ALSO EXPRESSED THEMSELVES IN FAVOR OF AN "INTERMEDIATE SOLUTION".
- FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND A PLEDGE PRESENTED BY THE DELEGATION OF LIECHTENSTEIN IN OUR MEETING OF FEBRUARY: OUT OF THIS ROOM, OUTSIDE THE UNITED NATIONS, THE PUBLIC OPINION DOES NOT DEMAND CERTAIN TYPE OF MEMBERS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE COUNCIL BE THESE PERMANENT OR ELECTED.THE PUBLIC OPINION DEMANDS A MORE EFFECTIVE AND MORE EFFICIENT SECURITY COUNCIL.
- ONLY IF WE ACHIEVE A MOST REPRESENTATIVE, DEMOCRATIC, RESPONSIBLE, TRANPARENT AND EQUITABLE SECURITY COUNCIL WE WILL RESPOND TO THIS DEMAND. WE NEED TO WORK IN A COMMON UNDERSTANDING OF THESE PRINCIPLES.
- WE SUGGEST THAT THIS QUESTION IS ADDRESSED IN OUR NEXT MEETINGS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
