Member of UNEP High Level Committee and the UNEP UN Habitat Permanent Representatives Committee.

My delegation has long advocated the expansion of the permanent membership of the Security Council, and the accession of India to the status of permanent member.

The purpose of establishing a more balanced composition of the Security Council can be realized only through democratic expansion of both the permanent and non permanent member categories.

The Permanent Forum decides to appoint Yuri Boychenko, member of the Permanent Forum, to prepare, without financial implications, a working paper on current practices and methods of work to be submitted at the fifth session of the Permanent Forum.

To put it plainly, no permanent member has represented the interests of the region to which it belongs.

Whatever advantages they enjoyed, in his view, derived more from being relatively large than from being a permanent member.

It proposes to enlarge the Council's membership in both the permanent and non permanent categories so that it is large enough but not too unwieldy to be representative of the 191 Member nations.

That African vision entails the establishment of a 26 member Security Council in which our continent will have two permanent seats having the same prerogatives and privileges as the current permanent members, including the right of veto, as well as five non permanent seats.

The Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues recommends that in all relevant data collection processes, Member States and United Nations organizations

Pre session and reference documents will continue to be supplied to the Permanent Missions of member States and observer States.

Regrettably, it failed to reach agreement on the enlargement of the Council, especially on an increase in the permanent member category.

For those aforementioned reasons, we also support the inclusion of India, a developing country, as a permanent member of the Security Council.

With regard to the candidacy of Japan, we see no basic objection to its becoming a permanent member of the Security Council.

The report should provide a greater analysis of divided votes, especially for cases in which a permanent member cast a negative vote.

The draft resolution was not adopted owing to the negative vote of a permanent member of the Council (see S PV.5051).

Nuclear safety is a permanent concern of the international community, and its continuous improvement should be the aim of all IAEA member States.

The Forum recommends that Member States investigate the alarming rate of incarceration of indigenous women and communicate their findings to the Permanent Forum.

Consequently, supposing that a permanent member would represent its region would require that it first be entrusted with the express mandate to do so.

Most cynically, in our case, annexation is carried out against a small and friendly neighbouring country by a permanent member of the Security Council.

The objective of the Programme is to facilitate deliberations and decision making of the governing bodies and to maintain general external relations with Member States, Permanent Missions accredited to UNIDO, non Member States and regional groups.

The more than doubling of the number of permanent members would strip other Member States of opportunities to be represented in important United Nations bodies.

Since permanent members of the Council expect, as a right, to enjoy dedicated seats on a wide variety of subsidiary and related bodies, adding new permanent members would reduce opportunities for the rest of the Member States to serve on those bodies.

It would add no permanent members to the Council, but rather would create new permanent seats in each region, leaving it to the members of each regional group to decide which Member States should sit in those seats and for how long.

Both leaders, including in the G 4 setting, reiterated their determination to continue to support each other's candidature and to work together towards realizing the reform of the Security Council, by expanding the membership in both the permanent and non permanent categories, including developed and developing countries in the permanent membership, together with other Member States.

The group of sponsors comprises countries rich and poor, large and small, islands and landlocked States, as well as a permanent member of the Security Council.

It should not be easy to replace a new permanent member, but it should be possible without going through the full procedure of changing the Charter.

Press conferences by senior United Nations officials, delegations and Permanent Missions of Member States will take place in the same room or in Conference Room 2.

At its inception, the UN brought together 51 countries it now has 193 member states. But, although the Security Council was enlarged in 1965 by increasing the number of non permanent seats from six to ten, its permanent members have not changed since 1945.

These issues are a permanent concern of the Committee and we encourage and welcome the input of the representatives of the Territories, Member States, experts and NGOs.

We hope that the segment relevant to non permanent representation can be appropriately developed so that it represents the interests of a large majority of Member States.

The Executive Directorate will work with Member States that are late in submitting their reports through their permanent missions in New York and direct contacts in their capitals.

The decision to add new permanent members to the Security Council would be easier if the Member States had the ability to periodically express their views on its composition.

On the basis of that overarching position, and guided by its responsibility as a permanent member of the Security Council, Russia will continue to advocate reaching the necessary agreement.
