[Article 100 of the UN Charter]

India Statement 

Mr. President, 

    Let me begin by thanking the Office of Legal Affairs for their briefing.

2.     India appreciates the important work of the UN Secretariat in supporting the Security Council. We value the periodic reports of the Secretary-General to the Security Council and the professional work that goes behind the preparation of such reports. In preparing these reports, the Secretariat should always be guided by the mandate provided in the Council’s resolution, Presidential Statements and Notes of the President. 

3. In the current context, para 7 of Note 44 of 2016 by the Security Council President clearly requested the Secretary-General to report to the Security Council every six months on the implementation of resolution 2231. 

4.  We hope that the Secretariat will continue to objectively function on such issues and undertake its activities in accordance with the mandate provided by this Council. Respect for provisions of the UN Charter is an absolute must.

I thank you.
