Description

The Security Council, acting in parallel with the General Assembly today, took note of a raft of proposals by Secretary‑General António Guterres on ways to accelerate the United Nations “Peacebuilding and sustaining peace” agenda, as well as the Assembly’s decision to track progress towards its implementation. (For more information, please see Press Release GA/12014.)

Unanimously adopting resolution 2413 (2018) on the heels of the Assembly’s high‑level meeting on peacebuilding and sustaining peace — and a similar high‑level briefing to the Council — the 15‑member body welcomed the report of the Secretary‑General (document A/72/707‑S/2018/43) and took note of the recommendations and options contained therein. It also took note of the Assembly’s decision to invite relevant United Nations bodies and organs — including the Peacebuilding Commission, established in 2005 to support peace efforts in conflict‑affected countries — to further advance, explore and consider their implementation.

Also by the terms of the resolution, the Council took note of the Assembly’s decision to request the Secretary‑General to present, during its seventy‑third session, an interim report further elaborating on his recommendations and options, including those on financing for United Nations peacebuilding activities. It also took note of the Assembly’s decision to request the Secretary‑General to submit a detailed report on the issue during its seventy‑fourth session.

The meeting began at 4:50 p.m. and ended at 4:55 p.m.
