YEREVAN, AUGUST 7, ARMENPRESS: The high-level debate "Cooperation in
maintaining international peace and security between UN and regional
and sub-regional organizations" was held on August 6 at the UN
Security Council. As Armenpress was reported by the Department for
Press, Information and Public Relations of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Republic of Armenia, at the debate, presided over by
the President of Argentina Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, speeches
were made by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the ministers
of foreign affairs and ambassadors of different member countries,
as well as the representatives of the regional organizations, like
the African Union (AU), the European Union (EU), the League of Arab
States (LAS), the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) and the
Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC).
In his speech the Armenia's Permanent Representative in UN Karen
Nazaryan stated that Armenia, as a member of the Collective Security
Treaty Organization (CSTO), welcomes the active dialogue and the close
cooperation between the UN and CSTO, directed to the strengthening
of the mutual relations.
The Ambassador Karen Nazaryan noted that Armenia highly evaluates
the efforts of the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group directed to the
peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
The Armenia's Permanent Representative in UN appealed to encourage
and assist the initiatives directed to the expansion of the relations
between the partners and the development of the cooperation with the
regional organizations in the name of international peace and security.
"The regional organizations must find ways to expand their cooperation
and dialogue to address increasingly interconnected global challenges",
- the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told a high-level debate in the
Security Council.
"We need to learn from the lessons of our collaborations to build
ever more innovative and flexible partnership arrangements that draw
on our respective strengths," he said. "Only through cooperation will
we meet our shared aspirations for a more peaceful world."
The debate, presided over by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner
of Argentina, which holds the Council's presidency this month, seeks
to further strengthen dialogue and exchange of information among
regional and sub-regional organizations and the UN on issues such as
conflict prevention, peaceful settlement of disputes, peacekeeping
and post-conflict peace building.
In his remarks, Mr. Ban highlighted examples of valuable cooperation
between the UN and regional and sub-regional organizations across
the globe.
"Of course, we sometimes face challenges when working together. Our
organizations do not always have the same approach to a given
crisis. Our diverse mandates and membership can lead to different
perspectives," Mr. Ban said, adding that the open debate "is a welcome
opportunity to explore the nature of these challenges and consider
how to improve cooperation."
In a statement agreed on by the 15-member body, the Council committed
to promote closer and more operational cooperation between the UN and
regional and sub-regional organizations in the fields of conflict early
warning, prevention, peacemaking, peacekeeping and peace building.
It also recognized the need to enhance the coordination of efforts to
strengthen the global response to current threats to international
peace and security posed by illegal trafficking, terrorism, and the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, among others.
In addition, the Council reiterated its commitment to continue to
cooperate with international, regional and sub-regional organizations
and establish arrangements to share experiences and lessons learned.
