Pakistan and China co-organised an informal meeting of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), providing a platform for the member states to discuss how the council “can ensure the full, effective and non-selective implementation of its resolutions,” the Foreign Office (FO) said on Thursday.
UN Assistant Secretary-General Khaled Khiari, UNSC Report Executive Director Shamala Kandiah and Richard Gowan of the International Crisis Group briefed the meeting held on Tuesday.
They “emphasised that implementation lies at the heart of the Council’s credibility, authority and effectiveness”, the FO said.
The speakers stressed that UN resolutions must be accompanied by “realistic mandates, clear implementation pathways, sustained reporting, adequate resources, political will and follow-up mechanisms” that can translate the resolutions into practical action on the ground.
