Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Angola defended, on Friday, at the UN headquarters in New York, the transformation of the Security Council into an inclusive, credible and more effective body in exercising its primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security.<\/b><\/p>\n

This position was expressed by the deputy permanent representative of Angola, ambassador Mateus Luemba, when he spoke in the plenary session of the General Assembly on the Issue of Equitable Representation and the Increase of Membership of the Security Council.<\/p>\n

According to the diplomat, the African Common Position, adopted through the Ezulwini Consensus and the Sirte Declaration, calls for the allocation of two seats of permanent members to Africa, with the respective prerogatives, including the right of veto, while it exists.<\/p>\n

He added that the Ezulwini Consensus also legitimately calls for five non-permanent seats on the reformed Security Council, so that the African continent can enjoy representation that is proportionate to its current contribution to the maintenance of international peace and security.<\/p>\n

He recalled that the issue of equal representation and increasing the number of members of the Security Council has been considered by the General Assembly for too long.<\/p>\n

\u201cFifteen years after the adoption of decision 62\/557, the results of the various sessions of intergovernmental negotiations on the reform of the Security Council still do not meet the expectations of Member States\u201d, he highlighted.<\/p>\n

During his intervention, Ambassador Mateus Luemba noted that the longer Member States postpone the conclusion of their deliberation on this highly relevant agenda item, \u201cwe see that the global geopolitical scenario is changing at an unprecedented speed, making any solution more complex and uncertain\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

He highlighted the importance of decision 62\/557, which calls for intergovernmental negotiation on Security Council reform issues, considering that intergovernmental negotiations (IGN) are the only viable platform to guarantee an open, transparent and inclusive process to bring closer positions of the parties aiming to achieve an acceptable balanced result.<\/p>\n

In this context, he said that Angola welcomes the results achieved in the previous session of the General Assembly, especially the framework document on the review of the elements of convergence and divergence of intergovernmental negotiations, as well as other relevant documents from previous sessions, as they reflect the Common African Position and the positions of other Member States.<\/p>\n

Expressed Angola’s support for the call to begin a formal process of text-based negotiations, guided by the modalities, working methods, rules and procedures of the General Assembly and reiterated the country’s commitment to working with all delegations to achieve tangible progress.<\/p>\n
