Description

The Security Council high-level open debate under the item entitled "Maintenance of international peace and security" will be chaired by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Lars Løkke Rasmussen. With an opening statement by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres. 

It is timely for the Security Council to advance fresh thinking on how to ensure adaptability and smoother transitions between phases of United Nations peace operations, including within the life of such peace operations, across the full peace continuum, to better respond to both existing needs and new realities. 

Member States are invited to provide a forward-looking vision for how the Security Council can support more adaptable approaches to United Nations peace operations.
