Counsellor
Second Resumed Part of the 79th Session of the Fifth Committee
Of the United Nations General Assembly
Thank you, Madame Chair,
Allow me to begin by expressing my heartfelt gratitude to you, Ambassador, for your leadership in guiding us through this session. Your presence during decisive times, including last weekend and the late hours was felt in the Committee, and we thank you for your dedication and commitment.
As we look back at the eight weeks of negotiations and where we are now, today, I believe that we, as the Fifth Committee, were able to do our job to provide the adequate resources needed to MONUSCO, but also to all other peacekeeping missions, so that each of the ten missions and the support functions can deliver on its mandate and ensure peace and security in places from Somalia to Syria to South Sudan.
Madame Chair,
During this session, we were also able to agree on the Strategic Heritage Plan, putting an end to the long-discussed renovation and construction projects. We believe that this final budget will be of importance to protecting and honoring the history while also ensuring modernization and accessibility as well as improving working conditions and safety of the organization in Geneva.
Unfortunately, however, we were unable to give the necessary guidance to the Secretariat in tackling the liquidity crisis. The Fifth Committee can work together with the Secretariat to resolve these outstanding fiscal challenges, and Japan looks forward to continuing to discuss intensively in the coming weeks and months.
Finally, my gratitude goes out to all the men and women in uniform in UN peacekeeping missions for protecting peace for all of us.
I thank you, Madame Chair.
