Poniżej pełny tekst wystąpienia Stałego Przedstawiciela RP: 

Let me thank you, Mr. President, for convening this important annual debate.

At the outset, Poland would like to warmly welcome the nomination of Permanent Representatives of Romania and Tunisia as the new Chairs of the Intergovernmental Negotiations on the Security Council reform. It is the first time that the IGN will be led by two Chairs. We therefore hope that not only our co-Chairs but also all Members States will re-double their efforts to bring about a positive outcome of our negotiations.

I also take this opportunity to thank two previous Chairs of the IGN, Ambassador Courtenay Rattray of Jamaica and Ambassador Sylvie Lucas of Luxemburg for their significant work and determination to bridge divisions that remain among Member States.

Mr. President,

As we will soon resume the IGN, let me reflect on how we shall approach the task ahead of us.

First of all, we shall continue our dialogue in a good faith but we also shall have faith in ourselves. Only a year ago we managed to finalize three fundamental processes on the Agenda 2030 and sustainable development goals, financing for development and climate change agreement, which will guide our work for the next decades. I truly believe that we are able to add to these accomplishments a major political agreement on the future shape of the Security Council.

With growing complexity of today’s security landscape, multiplying challenges and threats, if we are to find good and durable solutions we need to sit together, talk and listen to each other. Since the security issues which we need to address are often interconnected - not merely intra-State, but rather transgressing states’ borders, regions or continents - it does matter, who sits on the Security Council and receives our mandate to act also on behalf of the entire UN membership. It does matter whether the voice of African, Arab, small developing states or Eastern Europe can be heard and reflected in the Council’s decisions to a greater extent than in today’s reality.

Secondly, we shall build on our work on the Council’s reform carried out in the past, especially in the previous two rounds of the IGN. We learned a lot about our positions, we defined the areas of convergence and identified the main division points. Let us now engage in a truly meaningful process of give and take.

Last but not least, the result of the negotiations shall be unequivocally backed by all Member States. In our opinion, only consensus guarantees that we will be able to fully implement the agreement once we conclude the negotiations.

Mr. President,

Poland remains committed to the idea of having a more transparent, more equitable and effective Security Council. We will do our best to fully and constructively engage in the Member States dialogue during the next round of the IGN. You can count, Mr. President, on my country’s unwavering support to all efforts that will lead to the much needed agreement on the Security Council reform.

I thank you.
