Mudavadi calls for expedited consolidation of processes on UNSC reforms

Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs took part in the 13th African Union Committee of Ten (C-10) Ministerial Meeting in Lusaka, Zambia.

The C-10 is responsible for canvassing, promoting and advancing the Common African Position (CAP) on the reforms of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). This is part of Africa’s push for reforms in the United Nations and to ensure a permanent African voice at the UN Security Council, as a special case and priority.

In his remarks to the C-10 Ministerial gathering, the PCS noted the positive momentum that had been generated in seeking to redress the historical injustice to Africa accruing from an exclusive UN Security Council.

This was also consistent with the aspirations of the World leaders who had pronounced themselves through the Pact of the Future, by calling for a more representative, inclusive, transparent, efficient, effective, democratic, and accountable United Nations Security Council.

To this end, the PCS called for an expedited consolidation of the various processes that informed the Common African Position on the reforms of the UN Security Council and for their timely submission to the Co-Facilitators of the Intergovernmental Negotiations (IGN)

In addition, the PCS supported C-10’s unanimous decision to submit the African Union Model for the Reformed Security Council to the President of the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly.
