WG B Presentation of reports by task leaders and discussion

This responsibility, as underscored by the report, is in no way an easy task.

Furthermore, it is expected to improve the quality of reporting as well as accountability and transparency.

This will be the fourth report on responsibility of international organizations.

2. Chapter I of the present report contains the terms of reference for the discharge of the mandate.

The Committee indicated that its main role and responsibility was to report to the General Assembly.

However, the report fails to place the blame where it is due.

11. The last premise accountability is the focus of the present report.

Final responsibility for the contents of the report rests, however, with the United Nations Secretariat.

Furthermore, agencies should remain fully accountable to their governing bodies and not blur the lines of responsibility for budgeting, funding and financial reporting.

The Secretary General's report has not made any suggestions on how non State actors are to be held accountable.

The Executive Director shall be responsible for, and report to the Council on the Administration of the financial accounts.

44. With regard to the delay in the issuance of the report, the Controller was of the opinion that the preparation of the report was the responsibility of the Office of Internal Oversight Services.

I owe it to him!

The directors report to the Director of the Division for Operations and External Relations.

Where the head of compliance fulfills his her responsibilities of determent and report for any illegal and irregular acts of the securities firm, he she shall be exempted from bearing any responsibility.

Disclosure was made, in the accounts, of all matters necessary for the financial statements to present fairly the results of the transactions in the period.

It fell to Governments to fulfill their obligation to investigate the allegations, and to him to monitor the way in which they did so.

The financial statements are the responsibility of the Executive Director.

Reports to be disseminated to the international community should be written in a responsible manner.

23. A major responsibility of the Office of Operations is its reporting function related to the Security Council.

The third report of the Special Rapporteur, like the previous two reports, followed the general pattern of the articles on Responsibility of States for internationally wrongful acts.

However, the report lacked concrete proposals for a radical change in arrangements to ensure responsibility and accountability.

In all other countries law enforcement officials had the duty to report any case of suspected torture to the direct supervisor.

The Committee stresses that responsibility for the preparation of reports to the Committee rests with States.

The report recognized that the primary responsibility for translating the potentialities into actual outcomes rested with the State.

That report should also include measures to ensure appropriate monitoring and accountability.

It is reported that the meetings reinforce a culture of discipline, routine repayments and staff accountability.

No indication was provided in the report with regard to new functions and responsibilities that were assigned to the Centre as a result of the evaluation and the study.

Ms. Astanah Banu (Malaysia) said that the Special Rapporteurs were appointed to carry out a specific mandate and that their reports should conform fully conform to the functions entrusted to them.

Furthermore, the Board notes that responsibility for proper financial statements ultimately rests with the Commissioner General, to whom the Audit Inspection Committee reports.
