国連常駐調整官（RC）プレナリー会合における御巫大使によるステートメント

 
Mr. President, Mr. Taranco, Distinguished Resident Coordinators,
 
We welcome this opportunity for exchanging views with RCs. It is particularly valuable to hear directly from RCs, as we are going to have discussions in the Fifth Committee on the RC system’s financing model.
 
Japan believes that RCs have important roles to play. Japan believes that its reform and recalibration should systematically enable RCs to facilitate more coherent, effective and efficient delivery on the ground, tailored to the specific circumstances, needs and capacities of each country.
 
As discussions on the future of the RC system move forward, we would welcome further input on the relevant work packages under the UN80 and the RC recalibration. In this regard, Japan would like to highlight two key points.
 
First, strengthening coordination at the country level is essential to maximizing the impact of UN delivery on the ground. RCs should play an important role in bringing together the expertise and resources of UN country team in a coherent and efficient manner in accordance with national needs and priorities.
Such coordination should ensure that all relevant stakeholders are aligned and that their support reaches the most vulnerable and those at risk of being left behind. To this end, Japan stands ready to further strengthen its cooperation with RCs.
 
Second, we would like to encourage the RCs to strengthen the peacebuilding perspective in their coordination work. As recognized in the Peacebuilding Architecture Review (PBAR) resolutions, development, peace and security, and human rights are interlinked and mutually reinforcing — and we believe RCs are uniquely positioned on the ground to translate this principle into practice. To support this, Japan places particular importance on the concept of human security and the HDP nexus as guiding frameworks. To facilitate these efforts by RCs on the ground in implementing the PBAR resolutions, PBC should also exercise its convening role in promoting coordination across UN system headquarters.
 
In conclusion, Japan remains committed to contributing constructively to these discussions, with a view to maximizing the impact, effectiveness, and efficiency of the UN system.
 
I thank you.
