UNITED NATIONS: India has strongly criticised the lack of transparency in the procedures of decision-making by the UN Security Council’s Sanctions Committees, and said the practice of keeping in secrecy the failed efforts of proscribed terrorists to get themselves removed from the world body’s list of designated entities has ‘no legal sanction’.
Participating in the informal meeting of the Plenary on the Intergovernmental negotiations on equitable representation on and increase in the membership of the Security Council, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Syed Akbaruddin said here Thursday, “An area that we haven’t been able to focus adequately in the past is the matter of the working methods of the subsidiary bodies of the Security Council. These bodies have grown in number and importance,”
Akbaruddin said the work of the subsidiary bodies of Security Council is consequential for all member states but added that the Working Methods of the Council’s Subsidiary bodies suffer from an ‘Attention Deficit Syndrome’. (AGENCIES)
