India calls for greater transparency in functioning of UNSC subsidiary organs
UNITED NATIONS, Nov 15 (PTI): India has called for “greater transparency” in the functioning of the subsidiary organs of the UN Security Council, citing the “obscure” manner in which requests to designate entities and individuals are rejected.
Addressing the UNSC open debate on Working Methods on Friday (local time), India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish said that the Security Council is central in the UN architecture as the principal organ that is primarily tasked with the responsibility of maintenance of international peace and security.
“As a UN organ whose sphere of functions covers a range of areas, but membership limited to only 15 members, working methods of the Security Council are critical to its credibility, efficacy, efficiency and transparency. This gains particular salience in a world beset with multiple crises and facing numerous challenges,” Harish added.
