STATEMENT Of THE SECRETARY-GENERAL TO THE FOURTH GENERAL CONFERENCE Of UNIDO

VIENNA. 2 AUGUST 1984

MR. PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF. AUSTRIA,

YOUR EXCELLENCIES, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

IT GIVES HE GREAT PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU AT THE OPENING

OF THE fOURTH GENERAL CONFERENCE OF UN!DQ. I WOULD LIKE

TO EXPRESS HY SINCERE APPRECIATION TO THE PRESIDENT

OF THE REPUBLIC OF AUSTRIA, HIS EXCELLENCY

DR. RUDOLF KIRCHSCHLAGER, FOR HIS PRESENCE WITH US TODAY,

WHICH IS YET ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION OF HIS PROFOUND PERSONAL

COMMITMENT TO THE IDEALS AND THE OBJECTIVES

OF THE UNITED NATIONS. THIS IS BY NO MEANS THE FIRST TIME

THAT THE PEOPLE AND THE GOVERNMENT OF AUSTRIA HAVE OFFERED

THEIR GENEROUS AND WARM HOSPITALITY TO THE UNITED NATIONS

FOR SUCH AN OCCASION. WE ARE DEEPLY GRATEFUL TO THEM.

IN MY STATEMENT TODAY, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE

A FEW REFLECTIONS ON THE CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE ECONOMIC

SITUATION IN THE CONTEXT OF INDUSTRIALIZATION AND COMMENT

ON THE ROLE OF UNIDQ IN THAT FRAMEWORK.

-2-

IN MY OPENING REMARKS TO THE RECENT SESSION OF THE ECONOMIC

AND SOCIAL COUNCIL, I OBSERVED, IN ESSENCE, THAT WHILE ECONOMIC

RECOVERY WITHOUT RESURGENT INFLATION WAS TAKING SHAPE

IN THE MARKET ECONOMIES - STRONGER IN SOME THAN IN OTHERS -

PROBLEMS PERSISTED INCLUDING CONTINUING UNEMPLOYMENT,

PROTECTIONIST PRESSURES, HIGH INTEREST RATES AND MONETARY

INSTABILITY. THESE CONDITIONS RAISED DOUBTS

ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE RECOVERY, AND THE FUTURE

BEYOND 1985 PRESENTED SEVERAL UNCERTAINTIES. IN THE

CENTRALLY PLANNED ECONOMIES, WHILE THERE WAS AN UPTURN COMPARED

TO THE FIRST YEARS OF THE DECADE, GROWTH WAS BELOW

POST-WAR TRENDS.

CONDITIONS IN THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES GIVE NO CAUSE

FOR SATISFACTION. As A GROUP, THEY ARE MOVING SLOWLY OUT

OF THE PROLONGED RECESSION, BUT THE PROJECTED GROWTH

IN 1984/1985, EXCEPT IN PARTS OF ASIA, IS NOT GOING TO ALLOW

MORE THAN THE MOST MODEST OF IMPROVEMENT IN INDIVIDUAL

LIVING STANDARDS. CONDITIONS IN AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA

ARE PARTICULARLY DISTURBING, AND THIS HAS BEEN THE OBJECT

OF .A SPECIAL INITIATIVE I HAVE LAUNCHED.

-3-

WITH THIS SITUATION IN MIND, I HAVE SUGGESTED

TO THE MEMBER STATES OF ECOSOC THAT MEASURES IN THE IMMEDIATE

FUTURE WERE NEEDED IN THE INTERRELATED AREAS OF DEBT, FINANCE

AND TRADE TO IMPART MUCH-NEEDED DYNAMISM TO THE PACE

OF DEVELOPMENT. SUCH MEASURES COULD MAKE ECONOMIC RECOVERY

MORE BROAD-BASED AND SUSTAINED ON A GLOBAL BASIS AND UNDERPIN

MORE APPROPRIATE DOMESTIC POLICIES IN BOTH THE DEVELOPED

AND DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.

MEASURES AIMED AT IMMEDIATE IMPACT, HOWEVER, SHOULD NOT

DIVERT THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY FROM TACKLING SOME

OF THE LONGER TERM PROBLEMS RELATING TO THE INTERNATIONAL

TRADING, MONETARY AND FINANCIAL SYSTEMS. IT IS, I THINK,

UNFORTUNATE IN THIS REGARD, THAT IT HAS NOT YET BEEN POSSIBLE

TO LAUNCH GLOBAL .NEGOTIATIONS IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

BUT, THIS IMPASSE NEED NOT PREVENT PROGRESS IN SPECIFIC

AREAS. UNIDO. WITH ITS STRONG, ESTABLISHED MANDATE

PROVIDES A READY INSTRUMENTALITY FOR PROGRESS

IN INDUSTRIALIZATION. THIS FOURTH GENERAL CONFERENCE OFFERS

AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE PROGRESS ON MEASURES

-WHICH CAN MOST USEFULLY BE TAKEN.

-4-

IN THE LONGER RUN, IF THE PACE OF DEVELOPMENT

IS TO BE ACCELERATED, A RAPID GROWTH OF INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY

IS INDISPENSABLE. INDUSTRY MUST BE SEEN AS A DYNAMIC

INSTRUMENT ESSENTIAL FOR RAPID ECONOMIC EXPANSION AND SOCIAL

PROGRESS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. IT IS DOUBTFUL

IF OTHER SECTORS IN THOSE COUNTRIES CAN ACCOMMODATE LITERALLY

HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF NEW JOBS REQUIRED IN THE FORESEEABLE

FUTURE AS A RESULT OF EXPANDING POPULATIONS. IT WAS

IN,THESE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT THE LIMA TARGET WAS ESTABLISHED

UNDER WHICH DEVELOPING COUNTRIES ARE TO ACCOUNT

FOR APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER OF WORLD INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

BY THE END OF THIS CENTURY, AND THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

STRATEGY OF THE THIRD UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT DECADE CALLED

FOR AN ANNUAL GROWTH RATE OF ABOUT 9% IN THE MANUFACTURING

OUTPUT OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. I AM CONCERNED THAT,

AS INDICATED IN THE SPECIAL REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,

AND THE EXCELLENT UNIDO DOCUMENT 'INDUSTRY IN A CHANGING

WORLD', DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WILL NOT, IN ALL PROBABILITY,

ACCOUNT FOR MORE THAN 15% OF WORLD INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY

BY THE END OF THE CENTURY IF PRESENT TRENDS CONTINUE.

THAT WOULD REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT SHORTFALL WITH ADVERSE

.CONSEQUENCES FOR MILLIONS OF INDIVIDUALS.

ACTION IS THEREFORE URGENTLY NEEDED ON SEVERAL FRONTS

NOT ONLY TO REACTIVATE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION IN THE IMMEDIATE

FUTURE BUT ALSO TO EXPAND THE OVERALL INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY

IN THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES ON A LONG-TERM AND SUSTAINED BASIS.

-5-

IN THE SHORT RUN, THE REACTIVATION OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

IS INTIMATELY RELATED TO THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE WORLD

ECONOMY. MANY DEVELOPING COUNTRIES ARE OPERATING

THEIR EXISTING INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY AT WELL BELOW NORMAL LEVELS,

AS RESOURCES ARE LACKING FOR IMPORTS OF NECESSARY RAW

MATERIALS, SPARE PARTS. AND TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT.

IN A LARGE NUMBER OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, INDUSTRIAL

PRODUCTION IS CURTAILED BY LACK OF MARKETS AT HOME

AS WELL AS ABROAD. STEPS WILL THEREFORE BE REQUIRED

TO PROVIDE FOR BALANCE OF PAYMENTS FINANCE, THE ALLEVIATION

OF THE DEBT BURDEN AND THE IMMEDIATE ROLL BACK OF PROTECTIONIST

MEASURES AGAINST DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. NOT ONLY WILL

SUCH MEASURES ENABLE THOSE COUNTRIES TO OPERATE THEIR EXISTING .

INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY AT HIGHER LEVELS. BUT AN IMPULSE

OF THIS NATURE WILL PROVIDE VIGOUR TO THE PACE OF GLOBAL

ECONOMIC GROWTH.

SUCH ACTION WILL BE MORE EFFECTIVE IF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

ALSO STRIVE FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY IN THEIR INDUSTRIAL SECTORS

THROUGH EFFECTIVE USE OF RESOURCES, AND BY ENSURING

THAT THE ENERGIES OF BOTH THE PRIVATE AND THE PUBLIC SECTORS

ARE FULLY .GEARED TO THE TASK. THIS APPLIES TO INDUSTRIES

WHICH REPLACE IMPORTS AS WELL AS THOSE ORIENTED TO EXPORTS.

-6-

IN THE LONGER PERSPECTIVE, IMPORTANT PROBLEMS MUST BE

DEALT WITH, MANY OF WHICH ARE ON YO�R AGENDA.

ON THE DEMAND SIDE, DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WILL HAVE

TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF THE FACT THAT THE KIND OF BOISTEROUS DEMAND

FROM THE ADVANCED COUNTRIES FOR MANUFACTURES THAT CHARACTERIZED

THE EARLY PART OF THEIR INDUSTRIAL EFFORT MAY NOT BE READILY

FORTHCOMING. THERE IS A FAIRLY WIDE CONSENSUS

THAT THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES ARE LIKELY TO GO THROUGH A PERIOD

OF RELATIVELY SLOW GROWTH, FOR REASONS CONNECTED,

AMONG OTHER THINGS, TO STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS. MY OWN FEELING

IS THAT THESE PROBLEMS NEED AND CAN BE TACKLED

SO THAT THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES THEMSELVES CAN REVERT TO HIGHER

GROWTH. HIGHER GROWTH WILL NOT ONLY HELP THEM TO BE

FAR LESS PROTECTIONIST IN THEIR TRADE WITH THE THIRD WORLD,

BUT WILL ALSO ENABLE A SMOOTH PROCESS OF STRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT

AND REDEPLOYMENT IN THEIR OWN INDUSTRIAL SECTORS WHICH IS

A NECESSARY INGREDIENT FOR THE RAPID INDUSTRIALIZATION

OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. FURTHERMORE, IN ANY FURTHER ROUND

OF TRADE NEGOTIATIONS, PARTICULAR ATTENTION WILL NEED

TO BE PAID TO EXPANDING ACCESS TO EXPORTS OF DEVELOPING

COUNTRIES.

-7-

BUT DEVELOPING COUNTRIES SHOULD NOT LOOK ONLY TOWARDS

EXTERNAL MARKETS. THE GREATEST POOL OF UNSATISFIED DEMAND

FOR INDUSTRIAL GOODS IS WITHIN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

THEMSELVES.

IS LACKING.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT PURCHASING POWER

MY OWN FEELING IS THAT A HEALTHY AGRICULTURE

SECTOR, ENCOMPASSING BOTH FOOD AND COMMODITIES, WILL GREATLY

HELP TO IMPART DYNAMISM TO THE INTERNAL MARKETS FOR INDUSTRIAL

GOODS WITHIN THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, THEMSELVES.

INDUSTRIAL COOPERATION AMONG DEVELOPING COUNTRIES CAN ALSO

MAKE A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION. SUCH COOPERATION

SHOULD INCLUDE CLOSER COORDINATION BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL SECTORS

AT REGIONAL AND SUB-REGIONAL LEVELS.

THE SUPPLY SIDE IS ALSO CRUCIAL, AND THIS IS WHERE

THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S SPECIAL REPORT DRAWS ATTENTION

TO SEVERAL VITAL AREAS FOR ACTION. DOMESTIC

AND INTERNATIONAL FINANCE ARE OF FUNDAMENTAL IMPORTANCE.

AMONG THE LATTER, PRIVATE DIRECT INVESTMENT, IN KEEPING

WITH THE PRIORITIES OF THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES THEMSELVES,

WILL NO DOUBT GREATLY HELP. BUT OTHER FORMS OF FINANCE,

ESPECIALLY CONCESSIONAL FINANCE, WILL BE CRITICAL AS WELL.

THE LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES AND OTHER LOW-INCOME COUNTRIES

WILL NEED SPECIAL ATTENTION. AS YOU KNOW, THE INDUSTRIAL

DEVELOPMENT DECADE FOR AFRICA IS URGENTLY IN NEED

OF AN INJECTION OF FINANCIAL AND TECHNICAL RESOURCES.

-8-

THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT ALSO DRAWS ATTENTION

OF MEMBER STATES TO THREE OTHER INTERRELATED ASPECTS

OF INDUSTRIALIZATION ON WHICH ADDITIONAL EFFORT IS CRITICAL.

FIRST, THE EMERGENCE OF NEW FORMS OF TECHNOLOGY ARE ADDING

A NOVEL DIMENSION TO INDUSTRIAL CAPABILITY.

GENETIC ENGINEERING, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MICROELECTONICS ARE

OUTSTANDING EXAMPLES OF SUCH ADVANCES. THESE WILL AFFECT

BOTH ESTABLISHED INDUSTRIES AND FUTURE INDUSTRIAL

ENTERPRISES. THEY OFFER BOTH A CHALLENGE AND AN OPPORTUNITY

TO DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. THE ABILITY OF DEVELOPING

COUNTRIES TO BENEFIT FROM THESE ADVANCES NEEDS TO BE

STRENGTHENED THROUGH, AMONG OTHER MEANS, THE USE OF JOINT

VENTURES WHEN APPROPRIATE. THE TECHNOLOGICAL STRENGTHENING

OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES MUST ALSO MEET, AT A LOW COST,

THE URGENT HUMAN NEEDS, PARTICULARLY OF THE POOREST,

IN FIELDS SUCH AS FOOD AND NUTRITION, WATER AND SANITATION, '

HEALTH, POLLUTION AND ENERGY. IN OTHER WORDS,

WE MUST DEVELOP •TECHNOLOGIES FOR HUMANITY". THE PROPOSAL

THAT DEVELOPING COUNTRIES CONSIDER INCREASING THE SHARE

·OF THEIR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURE TO 1.5� OF GNP

BY 1990 MUST BE SEEN IN THIS LIGHT.

-9-

SECOND, AND CLOSELY CONNECTED, IS THE HUMAN RESOURCE

DIMENSION, NAMELY THE CRITICAL ROLE OF THE CREATION

AND UPGRADING OF SKILLS FOR THE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT

OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. THIS DIMENSION SHOULD ALSO

INCREASINGLY ENCOMPASS OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN.

THE THIRD ASPECT IS ENERGY. A LARGE NUMBER

OF ENERGY-IMPORTING DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WILL CONTINUE TO FIND

ENERGY A CRITICAL CONSTRAINT IN THEIR INDUSTRIALIZATION.

CONTINUOUS ATTEMPTS AT ENERGY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT,

EXPLOITATION OF ENERGY SOURCES, AND DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION

OF SUITABLE TECHNOLOGIES SHOULD RECEIVE ATTENTION

FROM ALL COUNTRIES.

LET ME NOW COME TO THE ROLE OF UNIDO.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE UNITED NATIONS FOR THE PROMOTION

OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION FOR THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL

ADVANCEMENT OF ALL PEOPLES DERIVES FROM THE CHARTER ITSELF.

IN PURSUIT OF THIS OBJECTIVE, THE UNITED NATIONS SYSTEM

HAS DEMONSTRATED ITS USEFULNESS AND ITS CATALYTIC ROLE

IN ENCOURAGING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN GENERAL, AND INDUSTRIAL

DEVELOPMENT IN PARTICULAR. UNIDO HAS UNDERTAKEN,

ESPECIALLY SINCE THE LIMA CONFERENCE, A WIDE-RANGING PROGRAMME

OF PROMOTION AND ASSISTANCE TO DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AND HAS

A RECORD OF PROVEN EFFECTIVENESS.

- 10-

THE TECHNICAL COOPERATION ACTIVITIES OF UNIDO HAVE

SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDED AND UNIDQ HAS BECOME A MAJOR EXECUTING

AGENCY IN THIS FIELD. THIS ILLUSTRATES THE INCREASING VALUE

OF UNIDO TO THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, AND REFLECTS THE HOPES

THAT THOSE COUNTRIES HAVE PLACED IN IT FOR ASSISTANCE

IN THEIR INDUSTRIALIZATION. THE ROLE OF UNIDQ CAN ONLY

BECOME MORE IMPORTANT IN THE FUTURE, GIVEN THE EVIDENT NEED

FOR FURTHER INDUSTRIALIZATION AND THE DYNAMIC CHANGES

IN INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY.

UNIDO IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A SPECIALIZED AGENCY SOON,

WHICH IS A FITTING RECOGNITION BY MEMBER STATES

OF THE IMPORTANCE OF INDUSTRIALIZATION AND OF THE ROLE

THAT UNIDQ HAS PLAYED AND CAN PLAY IN THIS PROCESS. I HOPE

THAT THIS CONFERENCE WILL OFFER AN ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY

TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION SO THAT UNIDO

CAN START FUNCTIONING IN ITS NEW INSTITUTIONAL FORM

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I HOPE FURTHER THAT THIS CONFERENCE

WILL PROVIDE A VALUABLE IMPETUS FOR UNIDO'S FUTURE ACTIVITIES

SO THAT ITS EXPERIENCE CAN BE FULLY UTILIZED AND IT MAY BE

STRENGTHENED TO PERFORM THE ARDUOUS TASKS STILL AHEAD.

UNIDQ, LET ME EMPHASIZE, HAS NOW, AND WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE,

A KEY COORDINATING ROLE IN THE UNITED NATIONS SYSTEM

IN REGARD TO INDUSTRIALIZATION.

1.- Mr. Fleischhauer advises that on 25 July th e Group B (West ern) count ries agreed that they "had no objection" to th e bridging text wh ich would serve as a repo rt of yours to the Genera l Assembly . Th e Group D (Socialist) and G77 countries who had alrea dy accepted th e text, were not fully satisfied by th is phra seo logy and wanted to see Group B•s agreement in writing . On 27 .July Group B conf irmed by ca ble that they "a ccept the text". Mr. Fleischhauer immediately informed the Group D an d G77 in Vienna of this.

2 . - The present situation is that Mr. Fleischhauer has asked Group D and G77 to conf irm that they are happy with the Group B declara tion. As soon as these conf irmations are receiv ed (proba bly to day or tomorrow ) Mr . Fleischhauer will advise the relea se of the text in the form of a report to the General Assembly . It is ex pected that this

.will pro mpt early ratif ication by the G roup D countries still

1. I last informed you before your visit to Moscow about the state of the above matter. I told you in my cable dated 10 July 1984 that while the text suggested by me as "bridging language", which would permit the Eastern European Socialist States to come forward with their instruments of ratification, had been accepted by the Eastern European Socialist countries and continued to have the tull backing of the G-77, Western industrialized �tates still had difficulties. In the meantime and after the Director General had taken the matter up with Paris, France has dropped its reservations and so have the Federal Republic: of Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. The United Kingdom expects a positive reply from London in these days, and the United States Mission in Vienna has recommended to the State Department to drop the objections they still had. I am informed by the Swiss Co-ordinator of the Western Group in Vienna that the Western countries have their next meeting on 25 July and probably the matter will be cleared by then.

2. After all the Groups have confirmed to me their consent, we would publish the bridging text in the form of a report on the consultations pursuant to resolution 38/193 and then the instruments of ratification would be forthcoming. Once these instruments of ratification have been received the procedure envisaged for the putting into force of the new UNIDO Constitution c:an be initiated with a view to securing the entry into force by the end of this year or early 1985.

� -;:,)iato .. �l&lisel M\15 l. I vas in Vienna from 22 through 29 � for the second round of

consultations on the conversion of UNIDO into a specialized agency in accordance vith resolution 38/193. All you vill recall, paragraph 3 of that resolution requested you to consult vith all interested parties on the· possibility of enablint those states which had not done so to ratify, and to consult vi th those states which have ratified on the possibility of the entry into force of the new constitution. As I had informed you with J1IY memorandum of 10 April l981J (copy attached), I had augested,af'ter a first round of consultations with all regional groups in Vienna, language for a text of a report bJ you to the General Assembly on the consul tat ions; that language vas designed to contain conciliatory elements which would permit the Socialist countries, which have largely not yet ratified, to do so. This in turn would unblock the way for putting into force the new constitution·.· The text of the language suggested by me vas attached to '1113' memorandum of 10 AprU.

2. During the month of April I received signs of encouragement from Group 77 countries. I also received a note from the Permanent Mission of Switzerland in Vienna on behalf of Gro�. B _(Western Industrialized States) which on 26 April stated that: "a text along the· lines proposed bJ you would not be a possible basis for turther consultations". The position of Group B is in essence that they refuse� preconditions by Group D for the· ratification since Group B countries, the most iaportant financial contributors, had ratified vi thout any preal.ables. As I learned after J1IY return to Vienna, the Group p{a;ocialist states) had meanwhile circulated their own version of rtq text in which they had inserted all their demands for advance stipulation of conditions e· policy and structure of the nev organization.

3. I have met with all the regional groups separately, with some of them several times, and I also had several individual meetings with the Chairmen. of Groups B and· D, the representative of China and Ambassador Siqh of India as Chairman and Co-ordinator o't Group 77. 'Very soon I found confirmed that the ·Socialist countries have .no chance to have their main demands accepted..

4. The Group ot 11 (in particular the Asians and the Latin Americans) shoved interest in having me prepare a new paper. The Socialist countries, vhen I informed them about rq assessment ot the situation, also expressed the wish that I drav up nev lanauage which they could present 'to their capitals. However, in view ot the negative attitude taken by Group B vith respect to my earlier language I tound it clitticult to produce nev luguage vhich would necessaril)" have to be very close to my earlier text. Since the Socialist countries tound it ditticult· 'to drav up a nev text themselves, I discussed with Allbaasador Singh the possibility ot a nev J.angu.aae dratted by the Group ot 77. Mr. Szasz ot this Ottice,vho again accompanied me in the consultationa,and I bad done some dratting which ve presented to Ambassador Singh.

UNITED NATIONS

Vienna, 6 April 19 84

I would like to refer to the round of consultations I had this week with regional groups and States in Vienna on the question of the entry into force of the new UNIDO Constitution .

·

Please f ind attached three paragraphs which might constitute a report by the S ecretary-General to the General Assembly on the implementation of paragraph 3 of General Assembly resolution 3 8/193 . I gained the impres sion in my talks in Vienna that it might be possible to find agreement on a text along the lines of the attached and thereby to remove the obstacles so far blocking the entry into force of the new constitution.

It goe s without saying that it would be possible to extend or change thi s text, if there is agreement among those concerned .

I therefore would con sider it useful if the attached text were to be the obj ect of further informal exchanges of views between interested States and groups of S tates , and I am certainly prep·ared to return to Vienna either in the f irst week of May or in the latter part of that month , · as desired by a maj ority of the interested parties in Vienna .

With best regards ,

Carl-August Fleischhauer Under-Secretary-General ,

The Legal Counsel

6 April 1984

The consultations reque�ted by paragraph 3 of General

Assembly resolution 38/193 took place in April (and May) 1984 in Vienna with the Legal Counsel representing the Secretary

General. It was clearly understood that the decisions as to

the policy and the structure of the:new UNIDO will have to . 1:

be determined by its competent organs after they have been

established. The outcome of the formal meeting on the

conversion of the United Nations Industrial Development

Organization into a specialized agency (convened at Vienna

from 16 to 20 May 1983, Note by the Secretary-General,

A/38/141) was taken into account.

There was widespread agreement that the competent

"organs of the new organization should consider a senior

staff structure of the new organization that might include

,several Deputies Director-General (DOGs) so that an equitable

geoqraphi�al representation might be achieved also at the

top level of the Secretariat. Each of these DOGs would head·

a department, though not every department need be headed by

a DOG. It was understood that these arrangements must in no

way infringe upon·the position and the powers of the Director

General.

There was substantial consensus on the-desirability of establishing the new organization on the basis of �iv�rsality, that is with the participation of States from all regional groups. All States stressed the importance of

_ the new

organi ��.un and favoured its coming into being at·an· early date; it-was understood that the successful outcome of these consultations facilitates the early ratification of the UNIDO Constitution b� those States that have not yet done so.

Vienna , 6 Apri l 19 84

I would like to refer to the round of consultations I had this week with regional groups and States in Vienna on the question of the entry into force of the new UNIDO Constitution .

P lease find attached three paragraphs which might constitute a report by the Secretary-General to the General Assembly on the implementation of paragraph 3 of General As sembly resolution 3 8 /1 9 3 . I gained the impression in my talks in Vienna that it might be possible to find agreement on a text along the lines of the attached and thereby to remove the obstacles so far blocking the · entry into force of the new constitution .

It goes without saying that it would be po ssible to extend or change this text , if there is agreement among those concerned .

I therefore would consider it useful if the attached text were to be the object of further informal exchanges of views between interested States and groups of States , and . I am certainly prepared to return to Vienna either in the first week of May · or in the latter part of that month , as desired · by a maj ority of the interested parties in Vienna .

With · best regards ,

...

The consultati ons reque sted by paragraph 3 o f General

As sembly re solution 3 8 /1 9 3 took place in April ( and May ) 1 9 8 4

in Vienna with . the Legal Counsel repre s enting the Secretary

General . It was c learly unders tood that the de cis ion s as to

the pol i cy and the structure of the new UNIDO wi ll have to

be determined by its competent organ s after they have been

establ i shed . The outcome of the forma l meeting on the

conversion of the United Nations Industrial Development

Organiz ation into a specializ ed agency ( convened at Vienna

from 16 to 2 0 May 1 9 8 3 , Note by the Secretary-General ,

A/3 8 /1 4 1 ) was taken into account .

There was widespread agreement that the competent

organs of the new organi z ation should consider a senior

staff structure of the new organ i z ation that might include

several Deputies Director-General (DOGs ) so that an equitable

geographical representation · might be achieved also at the

top level of the Secretariat. Each of the se DOGs would head

a department , though not every department need be headed by

a DOG . It was understood that the se arrangements mus t in no

way infringe upon the position and the powers of the Director

General .

There was subs tantial consensus on the · des irability o f

establishing th� new organi zation o n the bas i s of univers ality ,

that is with the participation o f S tates from all regional

groups . Al l S tates stre s sed the importance of the new

organization and favoured ·t�� coming into being at an early

date ; it was understood that the successful outcome of these ·

consultations faci litates the early ratification of the

UNI DO Con stitution by those States that have not yet done so .

16 . The need to ensure the provision of adequate resources to the organization to e nable UNIDO to d ischa rge i ts funct ions under the Constitut ion was conf irmed . For thi s pu�se , streng thening of some programme s and effective and efficient utilization of r esources should be ensured .

17 . Recalling paragraph 10 of General Assembly resolut ion 3 4/9 6 , and pendi ng dec isions on th e Indus tr ial De velopment Fund to be taken i n accordance with the Constitution of the new UN IDO , it was conf irme d tha t exi sting arrangements govern ing th e United Nat ions Industr ial Development Fund would apply to the Indus tr ial Develq>ment Fund . �ti ng wi th conc er n that the value of the United Nations Industr ial Developmen t Fund had dec lined in r eal terms s ince i ts establ ishment by the General Assembly and recalling resolutions 34/81 , 3 6/19 9 and 3 7/226, wh ich s trongly r e i terated the need for a s ubstantial and r eal i ncrease i n the flow of resources for operat iona l act ivities on an increasingly predictable , continuous and assured bas i s , industr ialized countr ies i n particular , and all other countr ies , were urged to_ contr ibute , or ra ise the ir con tr ibution s , wi th maximum flexibility, i n order to ach ieve th e agreed desirable annual funding level of $US 5 0 million , while recognizing tha t contr ibutions from develq>ing coun tr ies accounted f or around one th ird of the total resources of th e United Nations Industr ial Develq>ment Fund s inc e i ts inception.

Statement by the representative of Nigeria i n hi s capac ity as Cha irman of informal consultations on the conversion of UN IDO

i nto a spec ial ized agency, held at Vienna

1 . Mr . Cha irman , may I , on behalf of the Group of 7 7 and myself , congratulate you and other d is tinguished members of th e Bu reau on your unanimous election to cha ir the wor k of thi s meeting . In so doing , Mr . Cha irman, I am well aware of the onerous respons ibility your election entails. Never theless, having k nown you both personally and i n your offic ial capacities , I have no doubt that you will ste er the work o f th is august body to a successful conclusion . In th is regard , Mr . Chairman, I would like to assure you of the full co-operation of the Group of 77 in the reali zation o f s uccessful conclusions to our del iberat ions .

2. It might be useful ·to take stock of what we have achieved so far , i n order to

assess what r ema ins to be ach ieved . The future i s said to be very much l i nked with the present , and the present l ikewise wi th the past. It i s i n thi s light tha t I would l ike to g ive a s uccinct account o f what has been ach ieved dur ing our i nformal consultations here at Vienna. By v irtue of my pr ivileged role as Cha irman of the Group o f 7 7 a t Vienna , I was mandated to i nitiate the i nter-group i nformal consultations in pur suanc e of General Assembly resolution 3 7/ 213 of 2 0 December 1982.

3. Mr . Chairman , in pursuance of that resolution , which s tates the var ious s teps for the conversion of UN IDO i nto a spec ial ized agency , a one-day proced ural meeti ng o f States that had e ither r atified, accepted or approved the Consti tut ion of the United Nations Industr ial Development Organization wa s held i n New Yor k on 2 5 Janua ry 19 83. At that meeting, a dr aft provisional agenda prepared by the Group of 7 7 at Vienna for the one�eek formal consultation was presented for the consideration o f participants .

4 . In accordance with operat ive paragr aph 1 (b) o f th e same resolution , which provided for a series of informa l consultations, these consultations among d istinguished r epresentatives o f the Group of 77, Groups B and D and the representat ive of China began on 7 1-tarch 198 3. l-tr . Cha irman, I had the un ique · privilege and honour to . chair these consultations . The impor tant ach ievement made at our consultations wa s the adoption of the agenda for the one-week formal consultations which began today . Th is agenda, i t must be recalled, was an i ntegration of three draft provisional agendas presented by the Group of 7 7 , Groups B and D respectively. It should a lso be recalled r each ing agreement on th e provisiona l agenda was not only painstaking , but challenging . It was also agreed between th e groups that the Bureau of th e I ndustr ial Development Board should be the Bureau of thi s meeting . We should, however , congratulate all the member s of th e i nter-group contact g roup f or adopt ing th e e ight-i tem agenda before u s .

5 . Never theles s, discussion o f the substantive issues i n the agenda wa c:; not concluded during th e i nformal consultations . There were and s till are outstanding areas where the three groups , namely the Group of 7 7, Groups B and D could not

I . . .


reach common position. Perhaps , a brief overview will serve to remind us of an urgent need to close th e existing minor gaps between us.

6 . Agenda item 4, namely "Provisional agenda of the f irst General Conferenc e•, is an i tem wh ich would have g iven us reason for smiles , but for a small problem which is stil l pending . The three groups have agreed on the provis ional ageooa for the f irst Ge neral Conference which i s largely based on the Group-of-77 dr aft .

7 . The tentat ive allocation of items to var ious parts of the General Conference , th e timing o f which i s d ictated by the var ious coostitut ional requirements for recommendation of proposals to come to the General Conference from the Progra11111e and Budget committee and th e Board , has also been tentat ively agreed by the g roups .

8. In conclus ion , I am pleased to inform distinguished delega te s that , although th e three gr oups d id not agree on all the i ssues dur ing the two mon ths of informal consultations, the preva iling sp ir i t was that of understanding for each other ' s views and of seeking c ompromises as much as possi ble . The informal coosultat ions achieved concrete results in _ many respec ts although some matters are stil l pending . It is my fervent hope and earnes t praye r , that all the distinguished r epresentat ives assembled here will display the necessary goodwill and esprit de corps dur ing this week o f deliberations so that we can narrow th e existing minor d iffer ences between .us and arr ive at a successfu l conclusion of thi s importan t meeting . I have no doubt in my mind that th e end of th e loog journey i s in sight . On behalf of the partic ipants of the informal consultations , Mr . Cha irman , I wish all of us success in th is endeavour .

GROUP OF INTERESTED WESTERN EUROPEAN AND OTHER CDUN TRI ES

S tatement by the representative of De nma rk on behalf of th e G roup

_ A/38/14 1 Engl ish Page 15

1 . Mr . Chairman , I s hould l i ke to make th e f ollowing s tatement on behalf of th e group of intere sted We ster n European and other countr ie s partic ipating i n thi s meeting .

2 . Mr . Chairman , o n behalf of our Group, we would li ke t o congratulate y ou a s well a s th e Vic e-Cha irme n and the Rappor teur o n the unanimous elect ion to the Bureau o f th is meeting . We are confident that under the leadersh ip wh ich you have shown already over the last three weeks d ur ing the seventeenth sess ion of the I ndustr ial Development Board we shall i ndeed be s uccessful in our wor k th is week . we would also l ike to extend a welcome to or . Fle ischhau er and hi s collaborator s h er e a t Vienna .

3 . More than f our years have now pas sed since the Cons titution of UNIDO was adopted. In the ensuing year s the number of coun tr ies that have ratified the new Constitut ion has s tead ily r i sen and last summer i t s urpa ssed 80 , mak ing th e transformation of UN IDO into a spec ial i zed agency poss ible . The process of consultat ions on th e tr ansformat ion o f th e organi zat ion i nto a spec ialized agency was set in motion by the General Assembly through its adq>tion by consensus of r esolut ion 3 7/213 . Gather ing her e today i·t. i s our task to car ry out a v ital s tep in thi s transformation proces s .

4. Al l countr ies i n our g roup a r e conscious o f the inportance o f i ndus tr ial i zat ion in the overall development process of developing coun tr ies and the pos itive role which UNIDO c an play in th is regard . We therefore f ul ly suppor t the tr ansformat ion of UN IDO into a spec iali zed ag ency .

S . Much wor k has already been done , but at th e s ame t ime much r emains to be done . Over the past two mon ths und er the insp ired leader ship of AIIOassador llllar of Niger ia , member States have wor ked hard and constr uct ively to pave th e way for the agreements and under standings which we have been asked to r each. It i s our hope that th e fr iendly and pos i tive a tmosphere which has character i zed these preliminary consultations will prevail during thi s week ' s formal consulta tions. We pledg e to approach them i n that spir it.

6. The tr ansformat ion o f an existing organi zat ion from bei ng an organ o f the General :Assembly of the united Na tions to being a spec ial i zed agency is a novelty . It i s the f irst t ime i n th e h istory of th e Un ited Nations that such a transformation ha s taken place . Thi s places an impor tant responsibil ity on those who are charged with exec ut ing th is transi t ion . The b ir th of a new organi zat ion should be an opportunity for new ideas and for a fresh ap proach to ex isting idea s . A t the s ame t ime , however , though the "old UNIDO" i s soon t o d isappear, th e act ivit ie s of the organization will continue , in the fi eld as well as in headquar ters .

/ . . .

A/3 8/141 English Pag e 16

7. It i s i ndispensable that these activities are not disrupted by th e transformation proces s. Thi s appl ie s both to the i n-house wor k , and - perhaps eve n more important - to th e activities of UNIDO i n th e f ield , a imed at promoting the industr ialization of develq>ing countr ie s. We note that thi s approach was conf irmed a lready i n 1979 when th e Ge neral As sembly adopted resolution 3 4/ 96 coocerning the transforma tion of UN IDO into a speciali zed agency and decided that the programme budget approved by th e As sembly for UNIDO would fund th e new organi zat ion th roughout the calendar year dur i ng whi ch the f irst General Conferenc e was held .

8 . The Constitution o f the new UN IDO provides the governing organs of the organization greater au thor ity over i ts wor k than ha s hi therto b�n the case , a change that i s perhaps th e s ingle most inportant coosequence o f the transformat ion . The seventeen th sess ion of the Industrial Development Board clearly showed the weakness o f th e separation o f powers between th e Board and the Ge neral As sembly i n the question of the programme budget. We are confiden t that the system laid down i n th e Constitution will g ive all member States a better oppor tuni ty to g uide the future wor k of the organization.

·

9 . UNIDO , l ike a ny other organi zat ion w i th in th e United Nations sys tem or outside , must be structured in such a way that i t can fulf il its task s wi th maximum e fficiency and a mi nimum of administr at ive cost. Al though .one should never lose sight of the possibil ity of improvi ng the effic iency of an organization, the countr ies on whose behal f I have th e hooour to speak f eel that the present structure of the secretar iat of UN IDO by and large mee ts the test .

10 . We do not deny that th e tr ansformation o f UN IDO provides a val id opportunity to take stock of the present structure but , at the same time , I should li ke to stress that our countr ies neith er collectively nor i ndividually have any i ntention whatsoever of making our consent to ratif ication or partic ipation i n the notif icat ion o f entry i nto force dependent on obtaining special pr ivileges cootr ary to the Constitution.

11. With in 9 0 d ays of the entry i nto force o f the Constitut ion of UNIDO i ts f irst General Conferenc e will be convened by the Secretar� General of the Uni ted Nations i n h is capac i ty o f depos i tary for the i nstr uments o f ratifications . The agenda for the Conf erenc e will eventually be decided by the participants themselves but , in order to allow member S tates to arrive at the Conference with a c lear unders tanding of the issue s to be discussed , we consider i t important that the Secretar�General be provided with an i ndication of th e i ssues which the members of ·th e new UNIDO would wish to take �· In thi s connection we are pleased to note that , i n the course o f the preconsultations, i t has been possible to reach a larg e measure o f under standi ng on how the f irst General Conferenc e i s t o take place . We note that agreement has been reached on th e desirabil ity of having the Conference d ivided i nto three par ts allowi ng the other governing organs of the new organization to fulfil their c onsti tutional task between sessions .

12. The transformation of UN IDO will requ ire the adj ustment and revis ion of a large n umber o f ex isting arrangements, for i nstance , coocerning the relat ionsh ip betwee n UN IDO and other bodies of the united Nations system. We consider it important that such a rrangements be adapted to th e new s tatus of UNIDO at i ts e

/ . . .


earliest convenient date so as not to cause any disruption in the ongoing w� k . If necessary, we s tand r eady to agree to a temporary extension of existing arrangements pending the adoption of revised arrangements by the governing organs of the new UNIDO .

13. The same appl ies to th e many r ules and regulations coocerning the s taff of UN IDO .

14 . Since the opening of the Vienna Internat ional Ce ntre i n 1979 we have seen a number of common and joint services developing in the building . Our countr ies s trongly support the principle of r ationalizat ion of th e activ ities in the Centre . We are pleased to note that , in a number of field s , common and joint services have been e tablished, leading to a coosider able savings. Though we recogni ze that the chang e in the status of UN IDO could necess itate lega l or other adj ustments i n the pr esent arrangements, we are f irmly of th e opinion that substantive changes should not be implemented merely because of the change of the formal status of UN IDO .

15 . I f changes are to take place , i t must be established that they a re necessary consequences of the change in the status of UN IDO and that they should not result in adqitional costs for th e member S tates. In th is coonection I should l ike to stres s that money spend on super fluous administrat ive act ivities is money lost for th e i ndustr ial development of developing countr ies .

16 . We recognize that i t may be diff icult for individual member States to assess th e opt imal solution with regard to th e canmon and joint serv ices i n the Vienna Internat ional Centre after the transformation of UN IDO . Thi s i s why we propose that th is gather ing recommend to th e Adv isory CoJ'IIIli ttee on Administr ative and Budgetary ()lestions tha t i t request the Joint Inspection tlli t to conduct an urgent s tudy i n th is regard .

17 . As it was already inplied i n th e exchange of letters of 19 January 19 81, the transformation of UN IDO i nto a spec iali zed agency wil l requ ire the conclus ion of a new headquarters agreement with our host country as well as new agreements with regard to the utilization of the Vienna International Cen tre. In particular , for the conclusion of th e latter i t is of inpor tance to know the future a llocat ion of the common and joint service s among the var ious organizations occupying the Centre.

18 . I have a lready had the opportuni ty to s tress the position of the countr ies of our group that the transformat ion of. UN IDO into a specialized agency should not d isrupt the ongoing a ctiv ities of the organization. Al though 96 coun tr ies have already deposited the ir instrument of ratification, thus eas ily surpassing the required minimum number of 80 necessary f� the entry into force of the Constitution , we never theles s have to recognize the inescapable fac t that those 9 6 countr ies cover less than 4 0 per cent of the budgetary base of UNIDO.

19. Much as we would like to see an early transformation of UN IOO into a sp ecialized agency , we never theless have to acknowledge that such a budgetary base i s insufficient to ensure a smoo th transition. The lack of a sufficient budgetary base is due to the fact that the const itut ional process necessary for th e

/ . . .

A/3 8/141 English Pag e 18

r atif ication o f th e new Consti tution has not yet been caupleted i n a number of member States. It may therefore not be possible in the course of thi s week to set a def inite date for the entry i nto force of th e Constitution .

2 0 . However , we pledge our readiness to let the transformation of UN IDO into a spec ial ized agency take place a s soon a s th e organi zation i s assured a f inancial basi s comparable to the one whi ch exists for UNIDO in its present sta tus .

21 . Regrettable a s i t may be that a def inite date f or the entry i nto force cannot be set , thi s should not deter us from tryi ng to reach agreement on the substant ive questions on our agenda . Members of our group s tand r eady to participate i n an active and constructive sp iri t i n the elaboration of univer sally agreed conclusions on these questions , thus e nsur ing that, a s soon a s a sound f inancial basis has been achieved for the new UNIDO , the en try into force of the Constitution can take place wi thout delay .

GROUP OF 7 7

Statement by the representative of Niger ia, Cha irman of the Grou�

1. Mr . Cha irman, I have already had the opportunity to congratulate you and your colleagues. I would l ike , hoWever , to sei ze th is opportunity to congratulate the r epresentat ive of the Secretary- General and to thank him for the insp iring s tatement h e made to us th is morning .

2. Today marks an epoch in the h istory o f the United Nations system . Slightly more than seven and a half year s ago, to be prec ise - on 16 September 197 5, dur ing i ts 2 349th plenary meeting at i ts seventh special ses sion , the Ge neral As sembly of the Un ited Nations adopted resolution 336 2 (X-VI) , appropr iately entitled • Development and i nternat ional economic c�peration• . This resolution endorsed the rec01111'Dendations of the Second General COnference of UN IDO , regarding the conversion of UNIDO i nto a special i zed a gency with in the United Nations system.

3. Mr . Cha irman , while I do not i ntend to bore distinguished delegates here wi th unnecessary h istor ical details , for I believe we a re all acquainted with them, i t will suffice t o say that the journey t o the •promised land• has been long and tortuous. For example , whereas the resolution I earlier refer red to was adopted the same year as the Lima Declaration and Plan of Action adopted at the end of the Second Ge neral Conference o f UNIDO, held at Lima, Per u , in 1975, the Constitution of the new UN IDO was eventually adopted on 8 Apr il 197 9 , nearly four year s after resolution 3 362 ( B-VI) was passed and i n sp ite of th e Ge neral As sembly ' s request i n i ts various resolutions between 197 6 and 197 8 •

. 4 . Negotiations f or th e Consti tution of th e new UNIDO were not easy. Between 19 March and 7 Apr il 197 9, the Negotiating COmmittee held 28 meetings to resolve some outstanding i ssues . Scheduled meetings las ted i nto the early hours of the next morning , while informa l consultations were conducted round the clock - often outside th e confer ence venue . Consequently, the var ious r eg ional groups made concessions on the ir or iginal posi tions before consensus could be reached on the acceptable text of th e Cons ti tut ion before us today .

/ . . .


s. It i s exactly four year s, one mon th and nine days today since the adoption of the Constitution of the new UN IDO. While th is length of t ime may not be too signif icant , it is equally true tha t brea th-taking events have been known to take place within a shorter space of time , throughout h istory. We are all aware of the continuously deter iora ti ng economic situa tion whi ch affects those of us i n the developing wor ld most. We also basically agree on the need to redress this situation and save mankind from thi s shamefu l state of affa ir s. If we are to make any meani ngful progress i n the realization of th e grand· objective o f saving mank ind from the scourge of pover ty , ill iteracy and disease , then we must collect ively resolve to display the necessary political will needed for the a ch ievement of s uch a goal .

6 . It i s the v iew o f the developing coun tr ies that the ccnversion of UN IDO i s part of the effor t i n thi s d irection. UN IDO ha s the primary obj ective of promoting and acceler ating i ndustr ial development in the developing countr ies with a v iew to assisting in the establ ishment of a new international economic order . It also has th e additional task o f promoting i ndustr ial development and c�peration at global , reg ional and national levels.

7. A little over 16 years ago, on 1 January 19 67, the present UNIDO was establ ished . Tha t epoch-111aking event gave a ray of hope to the people of developing countr ies . But r igh t from its b irth , i t was c lear to many that, if th e organi zat ion was to achieve its lofty objec tives, i t ought to be g iven more flexi bil ity for i ndependent action i n i ts prescr ibed a rea

"of caapetence . Others held a d ifferent

view at the time . The resulting compromise was an organization entrusted wi th enormous responsi bility but bereft o f the much needed legal independence to pur sue its mandates . Even then , the achievements of the organization under its var ious able ch ief executives and ded icated officials have not only been impressive but acclaimed by all of us.

8. Mr . Chairman, as we assemble here today and in th e days ahead to del iber ate . and eventually pu t the seal on the processes leading to the emergence of a new UNIDO, we should have at the back of our minds the yearni ng and aspir ations of two thirds of mankind in the developing world . These people are waiting anxiously for th e outcome of our deliber ations ! Mr . Chairman , I wish to assure you that they know tha t we are her e engaged in par t of a globa l effort to unfetter the shackles of a low s tandard o f liv ing wh ich i s the result of a less developed economy.

9. Mr . Cha irman , you are wel l aware that , throughou t the two months of our i nformal consultations, th e Group of 7 7 has d isplayed a much needed team sp ir it and sp ir i t of compromise , wi thout whi ch we would not have achi eved what we have achieved today . In the contex t of Ge neral As sembly resolut ion 3 7/213 , we i nitiated i nformal consultations wi th distingu ished representatives of other groups. One of the outcomes o f th is ser ies o f consultations i s the agenda before us, which has j ust bee n adopted . Regarding the substantive agenda items , the Group of 77 has always made i ts position very c lear .

10 . The Group of 77 i s of the opinion that the ccnver sion of UNIDO i nto a specialized agency should not disr�t the activities of the organization and that th e new UNIDO should continue to implement the mandates i t has received from th e

/ . . .


General As sembly and the previous Ge neral Conferences . Th is would naturally necess itate some expansion of the programme s and activi ties of the new UN IDO , particular ly a s th e As sembly �as r econf irmed, i n r esolution 3 7/212 , the var ious pr ior i tie s for UN IDO for 198 4-198 5. Happily still, the seventeen th session of the Industr ial Development Board , which you ve�y ably chaired, reaff irmed th ese pr ior i ties. In order to enable the new UN IDO to implement its programme mandate s, th e Group o f 77 f eels that · adequate resources should be made ava ilable to UNIDO .

11. Regarding the structure and staffing of the new organi zation , the Group of 7 7 views th e pr esent composition of the Secretar iat at th e h ighest echelon a s reasonable . The structure o f th e new organization should be determined by the need for th e highest s tandard of eff iciency , competence and equitable distr ibution of posts , and should flow from i ts objectives and programme s • . However , any concrete point i n th e context wh ich other g roups may wish to br ing up can be d iscussed .

12. On the trans itional ar rangements , it i s the view of the Group of 7 7 that the question o f th e establishment o f a wor king capital fund at a level equivalent to 10 per cent of the organization ' s regular budget should be considered by member States, i f th e tr ansi tion process i s to be problem-free .

13. The effec t of the transformation of UN IDO into a spec iali zed agency on the existing common services at th e Vienna I nternat ional Centre is a matter that should be worked ou t by the Director-General of the new organization wi th the appropr iate a uthor i ties o f other organi zations concerned . In so doing , however , article 19 o f the Constitution should not be los t sight of and the need to ensure eff iciency and e ffectiveness i n the United Nations system should be g iven utmost consideration . As all these arrangements will take some time , i t i s our view that , until the new arr angements a re in place , th e existing ones should con tinue .

14. While we are very eag er to see the Consti tution of the new organization ent er i nto force without undue delay, we feel that th e date of entry into force of the Constitution should have as i ts predicate the f inanc ial viabil ity of the organi zat ion . Li ke a new- born baby, the new UN IDO should learn to crawl before i t attempts t o walk . Bu t also like a new-born baby , the per iod between crawling and walk ing should not be unnecessarily long les t i t becomes permanently cr ippled . My appeal i s d irected to those of u s here who have not yet ratified the Constitution to please do so in order not to allow young UNIDO to become cr ippled .

15 . Having said all thi s , i t i s my f irm bel ief that the task ahead of us, though seemingly daunting , i s not i nsurmoun table . The progress made i n the ser ies of informal consultations preceding thi s formal meeting g ives us reason for optimi sm. However , we are at a loss to ascer tain whether or not the i nter ested States are pr epared and ready to joi n those of us that have agreed to and ratif ied the Constitut ion . With th e d i splay of the necessary political will and good faith by all of us here , the Group of 7 7 i s hopeful that at the end of thi s meeting , we shall all be congratulating ourselves on a j ob well done . It i s in th is light that , on behalf of the Group of 7 7 and my humble self , I wish all of us success ful deliber at ions i n the week a head .

Statement by th e representative of I ndia , Chairman of th e Group

1 . Mr . Chairman, I make th is s tatemen t on behalf of the As ian Group countr ies member s of the Group o f 7 7. It has the au thor ity of its member s, having been seen and appr oved by all of them. our Group r ecogni zes that th is is a special and delicate stage of our ef fort to translate UN IDO i nto a speciali zed agency1 and we deem i t impor tant to pronounce ourselves with preci sion and cer tai nty.

2. All of us belong ing to the Asian Group ar e pleased to see a di stinguished , eminent and exper ienced colleague , belong ing to the indus tr ial i zed wor ld , chair thi s s er ies of our consultation meetings. You and your colleagues belong ing to the Bureau o f th e I ndus tr ial Development Board have d isplayed your patience , perseverance and capac ity to achieve , j ust last week when the seventeenth session of the I ndus tr ial Development Board came to such a s uccessful and meaningful conclus ion. we look forward to collaborating wi th you in the tasks that con front us all here .

3 . We welcome here in our midst the presence of th e representative o f the Secretary-General of the united Nations, Dr . Fle ischhauer , Legal Counsel and Und erSecr etary-Ge neral of the Organi zation .

4 . It i s appropr iate to recall how we have a rr ived at the present s tage of our woc k , that i s , thi s ser ies of consultation mee tings. The road we have already tr aversed has been long and tor tuous and bumpy . The very fact, however , that we have come thi s far should provide us wi th hope and · fai th and good cheer . But recently, in the over all con text o f i nternational co-oper ation , there have been certain se t-back s whi ch make us pause and wonder. In the course of our wor k for d isarmamentJ law of th e sea J Indian Oc eanJ peaceful u ses o f nuclear energy J global negotiations for economic co-operation in all its aspects , espec ially for building up a new i nternational economic order - i n all these we have met wi th either lack of succes s or the lack of progres s . And thi s makes us wonder whe ther there i s a broader or a larger pattern of neg at ivity which i s inhibiting those whose idealism and globa l au thor ity and influenc e should normally be a factor for progr es s, but whose vetoes seem to tr anscend th e areas clea rly defined for the oper ation of the veto. We all hope that thi s fear of ours proves to be unfounded •

s . We are all aware o f the long h istory o f the wor k relating to the attempt to conver t UNIDO into a spec ialized agency . From a section in the united Nat ions Headquarters in New Yor k , in the early 1960s, UNIDO has by now grown into the th ird largest executing agency of the UNDP-funded technical projec ts in the united Nations system. What UNIDO has achieved and what it has become by now, reflects the canmon devotion of all the regional groups represented here to the idea of aoceler at ing indus tr ial . development in developing countr ies , and not for a 1 imi ted purpose , ei ther .

I . . .

6 . Nearly 1 0 years ago, some visionar ies s tarted dreaming o f having a speciali zed agency devoted to the tasks of · i ndustr ializing the developing world. A consensus emerged at Lima in 19 75 , not merely among developing countr ies alone but among the member States from al l s ides of the thlited Nations , tha t UN IOO be converted i nto a specialized agency . The seventh special session o f th e Ge neral As sembly set the seal of conf irmation ·of the Genera l Assembly on this consensu s .

7 . We consider i t useful t o remind ourselves that at that s tage ther e was a c lear manifestation of a univer sal , unanimous and uni ted will to achieve thi s conversion o f .UNIDO. At a t ime of global economic g rowth , as i ndustr ies in the i ndustr iali zed countr ies attained greater sophistication, it wa s felt that the orderly evolution o f an i nternational d ivision of labour required the establishment and expansion of labour-i ntens ive and o ther indus tr ies to be nurtured and built up in developing countr ies . These were to meet the needs of the peoples of the wor ld, at a pr ice that was considered economical , and taking advantage of the lower costs of production i n the developing countr ies . Sever al of these f ields of production or spec ific indus tr ies belonged already to areas of functioning that were being v acated by the more soph isticated i ndustr ial ized economies . This process of mov ing towards an equitable and economically j ustif iable global indus tr ial d ivis ion of labour was envisaged not merely for helping developing countr ies to grow and prosper but also to ensure an orderly economic growth throughout the world , to s tr ucture h ealthy canpetition while e ffectively avoiding unhealthy caupetition . A concomitant of thi s was the necessary reorganization of the struct ure of i nternat ional trade i n manufactures .

8 . It was f oreseen, in that context, that an i ndependent spec ial i zed agency devoted to an equitable system of i ndus tr ial growth , would be a wor thy complementary agency to a new system of more equitable global tr ade leading to development. Orderly and equitable evolution, we all know, often helps to avoid r evolutionary explosions . The wor ld community , at Lima , voted for order ly change i n the f ield o f globa l i ndus tr ial development , which should � which mus t - be t o everyone ' s benefit .

9 . With the adopt ion o f th e Constitution o f UN IDO as a spec iali zed agency on 8 Apr il 197 9 by the plenipotentiar ies at Vienna , our common determination to conver t UNIDO was concr eti zed . My own country, I ndia , took j ustif iable pr ide i n having provided the Pres ident o f thi s conference in the persons of two distinguished predecessors of mine , Ambassador A. s . Mehta and Ambassador K. R. P. Singh . We applauded the successful conclus ion of thi s conference wi th great fai th and greater hope.

10 . Unfor tunately , i t appears to many of us now, that Apr il 19 79 was a k ind of false dawn. As of today , many of us belonging to the Asian Group are wor rying about and analysing the doubts and hesitations of some of our colleagues of other groups . we , in the As ian Group , have bee n pondering over the percept ive . statement , reflecting a cer tain amoun t of . impatience , made the other day by the d istinguished representat ive of Belg ium i n the Indus tr ial Development Board , indicating hi s assessment o f when th e new UN IDO m ight be expected to cane into being .

/ . . . .

A/3 8/141 Engl ish Page 2 3

1 1 . The fa ilure of the Th ird General Conference of UN IDO was the f irst sign that many of the s tatements that we had thought were canmi tments were merely words. The reality of moving towards an orderly i ndustr ialization in developing countr ies was perhaps not th e subjec t matter of any coocrete canmitments on the part of these powerfu l people . As I j ust sa id , thi s looked like part of a broader and larg er i nternational mala ise . Order ly g lobal expansion of i ndustr ialization was not a .att er of high pr ior ity for the powerful industr ialized member States any longer. Al l k inds o f doubts and hesitations of theirs s tar ted being expressed i n a var iety of ways. One of these was the building up of the image of a new international deity c alled zero growth of budgets . This i n turn made developing countr ies concentrate increasingly on bu ilding up the concept of greater co-operation among th •selves . They established at Caracas a progr amme of act ion which not only expressed the will to develop economic co-operation among developing coun tr ies, but a lso for the f irst t ime env isaged coocr ete measures to th is e nd .

12. There has been a mix o f c ircumstance s and situations ever since th e Th ird Ge ner al Confer ence o f UN.D>O that has led to greater canplexity and d ifficulty. The world economic situation , the growth of monetar ism, fluctuation in exchange rate sJ i nflat ion and unemployment in developed countr ies , a r un-a way expansion of expend iture on arms and armament' the slowing down of the ngeotiations on d isarmament and arms cootrolJ the evaporat ion of some of the idealism and some of the prag.atism behind detent� - all thi s has confused many who need to be dec isive'

13 . Li ttle e ffective i nternat ional action has been evident. Th is confusion has also infected the course of the conver sion of UN IDO . Many have impl ied and many have openly argued that somehow the coover sion of UNIDO , i f and when i t i s a ch ieved, would meet the purposes and interests of the developing coun tr ies alone. It might be wrong , but I have spied a h int of that i n the s tatement of my d is tinguished fr iend and colleague from Denmar k thi s afternoon. Signing the ra tification of the UNIDO Constitution has been l inked with extr aneous consider at ions and i ssues and .atters. It was wi th a view to clear ing thi s confus ion tha t the Economic and Social Council i n r esolution 1982/66 last year i nv ited the Secretary-Ge ner al to begin a process of consultations including not merely those who had signed and ratified the UN.D>O Constitution (as would normally have been the case) but also other i nterested States i n a me thod whi ch Dr . Fle ischhauer called sui generis this afternoon . 'l'o a c er tain exten t, the cooversion of UN IDO has become a ch imera that floats out of our reach , whenever we feel i t i s wi thi n our grasp .

14 . All our colleagues , belonging to all the d iffer ent groups , are aware of the various issues faced by us collect ively in thi s meeting . These are: Wha t d irection would the new UNIDO t ake? What would be the content of its progr amme? How would we all bend our effor ts toge ther i n order to provide the new organization wi th the necessary resources for the execut ion of i ts progr anune? What s teps must we all take to ens ur e that the trans ition from the pr esent UN IDO to the new UN IOO as a specialized a gency i s smooth? These , broad ly speak ing , are the i ssues and questions that concer n us , tha t fac e us. The views of the larg er Group of 7 7, of whi ch the Asian Group i s a part, in all th ese quest ions are clear and well known to all concerned .

/ . . .

15 . What i s not clear to us in the As ian Group, or for that matter to our fr iends and comrade s in the Group of 7 7 , .i s whe ther in the other groups there i s the same political will, as we have ourselves d isplayed, to achieve an ear ly conver sion of UN IDO .

16 . Mr . Chairman , may I r emind you and. th is a ssembly o f fr iends and colleagues that the continent of Asia gave bir th to Confucius , Buddha , Mose s , Jesus, Mahav ir a and MohaJmned . Almost a ll the prophets rever ed by all of us in th is hall - th ose that have any fai th in e thica l values based on religious philosophy - wer e born As ians . This con tinent, ther efore, has the faith and ideal ism of the ages . Also the patience to stand and wait. The members of the As ian Group approach these c onsultations with hope, determinat ion and faith . But i f these s ucceed not , we shall also have the patience to wa it. We ar e determined not to be d isappoi nted . Neither success , nor failure of th ese consultat ions will dimini sh our hope nor force us to make puer ile and meaningless concess ions. UN IDO , whatever its shape or form , shall have our 1C¥alty and support, so as to fos ter global internat ional co-operation and serve the cause of world prosper ity and pursuit of peace , through an order ly evolut ion of i ndus tr ial i zation .

�OUP OF LAT IN AMERICAN <X>UN'IRI ES

Statement by the r epr esentative of Venezuela, Chairman of the Group

1 . Mr . Chairman , in my capacity a s Chairman of the La tin Amer ican Group I wish f irst of all to expr es s our identity of view wi th the statement made by the Chairman o f th e Group o f 77 a few minutes ago.

2. I should now like to put forward some poi nts of view of the region tha t I represen t with r egard to the task before us.

3. Latin Amer ica attache s par tic ular i nterest and importance to the meetings tha t we are going to beg in today .

4 . our region considers that these meetings cannot confine themselves merely to g iving official sanctiQn to UN IDO • s change of status from its pr esent condition as an organ of the Ge ner al As sembly , f unctioning as an autonomous organi zation , to tha t of a spec ialized 4gency . Latin America considers tha t these meetings shou ld constitute a process lead ing to th e establishment of the coodi tions necessary · to ensur e that the new organi zation can function in the most efficient manner possible fr om the very momen t of the change to its new form. Ther efor e , we consider that UN ID0 1 s change of status must constitute a genuine metamorphosi s that will result in th e b ir th of an entity that i s even more c ooplete and per fect than the one that or iginated the proces s . In our opinion, the result of thi s metamorphosis must be an i nstitution that i s mor e e ff ic ient, more per fected �nd more complete than the one tha t exi sts at the moment . The consultations on the convers ion of UN IDO g ive us the oppor tunity to make an effor t to conver t th is organi zation into the ideal model of what an i nternational organization can and must be . We well , know its operation and, despite some shor tcomings , , we have seen as well i ts ach ievements and good guali ties. Also we know the problems ·and defec ts from whi ch internationa l agencie s ,

a category of whi ch our organization i s now to become a member , generally suffer . Some of th ese faults and deficiencies have been corrected in the text o f th e new Constitution. Other s can be eliminated through the agreements that we reach as a r esult of our meetings . We have i n our hands an unpr ecedented oppor tuni ty to try to make UNIDO into the perfec t model of a specialized agency wi th whi ch we can f urthermor e cootr ibute towards r estor ing coofidence and faith in the system of multilateral co-opera tion as a whole .

s . I should l ike i n th is context to h ighl ight some ideas wh ich , in th e opinion of our region, could contr ibute towards orienting our ef for ts towards achieving this objective.

6 . We mus t f irst s tate that , in the opinion of the Latin Amer ican Group, the trans ition must take place in an orderly , calm and smoo th manner , as indicated by Ge neral As sembly r esolution 3 4/96, and for that purpose i t i s necessary that we should agree on some fundamental questions that will inevitably affect the life of the new organizat ion .

7 . Among these ques tions , La tin Amer ica a ttr i butes pr ior ity importance to the need to guarantee that UN IDO can accomplish the task s tha t have been assigned to i t i n th e Constitution and can ach ieve th e objectives that the internat ional community ha s entrusted to it.

8 . UNIDO i s the i nstitution that was set up to serve as a motive force to promote indus triali zation , which is the mos t effective means of accelerating the developmen t o f the developing countr ies . OWing to th e natur e and impor tance of the funct ion tha t it i s called upon to fulfil, the new organization cannot be subjected to i nflexible cr iter ia as regards the progr ammes that it mus t carry out and the resources that it must have at its disposal in order to implement those programme s.

9. In our opinion , UN IDO must be an exception to th e policy being advocated by many developed countr ie s , aimed at free zing the volume of the programmes of the i nternational organi zat ions at th eir present levels as a way of s topping the growth of the ir budgets. Latin Amer ica suppor ts the principle tha t everything necessary should be done to ensure that the new organi zat ion funct ions in th e mos t e ff icient mann er possible and that appropr iate measures ar e taken to guarantee the most absolute budgetary d iscipl ine and the mos t e fficacious use of the resources placed at its disposa l. However , funct ioning effic iently means not only using resources e ff icaciously but also wor king e ffec tively, ach iev ing the targets set and carrying ou t the mandate rece ived . For that purpose, it i s necessary to provide UN IDO wi th resources commensurate with th e requirements of its progr ammes , to the extent that the growing needs of the developing countr ies demand .

10 . Accord ingly , we consider it essen tial that we should build up in these meetings a consensus on the need to ensure that the new organization has every necessary flexibility with regard to progr ammes and i ts budgetary r esources , so that i t can be in a pos ition to fulf il its mandate .

11. At i ts r ecen tly concluded session , the I ndustr ial Development Board incorpo�ated in i ts report some conclusions whi ch , in our opinion, have paved the

I . . .

A/3 8/141 English Pag e 2 6

way for the formulat ion o f consensus agreements on th e f irst two s ub-i terns of item 3 of our agenda . We are confident that , on the basi s of the conclusioos adopted by the I ndus tr ial Development Board las t week , it will also be possible to establish a consensus on the idea s on the programme and financial questions affecting the new UNIDO that will have to be incorpor ated in the document in which the results of our wor k will be enshr ined .

12. Wi th regard to the th ird sub-i tem of i tem 3 of our agenda , La tin Amer ica cons ider s tha t the present administrative s tructure of UN IDO has proved to be satis factory, s ince i t meets th e need to maintain the h ighes t degree o f e ff iciency , a t the same time limiting the prol iferation of bureaucratic posts . In the view of th e La tin Amer ican Group, th e s tr uctur e of the secr etar iat should be determined by needs dictated by effic iency and should be conce ived in the light of the organi zat ion ' s purposes and progr ammes . The f inancial impact of any alter at ion to this s tructure i s a ma tter of profound concern to us, if i t i s remembered tha t the cr eat ion o f a new pos t at th e senior levels o f th e secr etar iat would entail the imperat ive need to ensure balanced representation of the various geographical regions to wh ich th e members of th e organi zation belong . If the creat ion of additional posts at Deputy Director level were proposed , our region would ins ist on th e pr inciple o f equitable g eogr aph ical, d i s tr ibut ion in order to ensure appr opr iate regional representation for each of the subregions making up the Group of 7 7 .

13 . In any c ase , whatever change is made i n the composition of the secretar iat , i t must leave intac t the status , au thor ity and functions o f th e Director-General , a s def ined i n th e Cons titution .

14 . By v ir tue of th e provisions of Ge neral As sembly r esolution 3 4/96 , it will be necessary to adop t a number of transit ional measures linked wi th the conversion of UNIDO i nto a special ized agency.

15 . The purpose of s uch measur es i s to ensure that c er tain functions or a ctivities of the organi zation ar e not affected as a result of the trans ition and to deal wi th cer tain details and procedures connected with the existing relat ionsh ips between UN IDO and other organizations in the lklited Nations system .

16 . In the context o f item 5 o f th e agenda , th e Group of 77 will pr esent some spec ific proposals· regarded by the Latin American Group as being specially impor tan t, to wh ich th e Group consequently g ives all necessary suppor t.

17. Among the questions covered by the agenda of the consultations is the effec t o f UN IDO ' s asstmption p f special ized agency s tatus on th e existing camnon serv ices at the Vienna Internat iona l Cen tre .

18 . The basic position of th e Latin Amer ican group i n th is respect i s that the problems of the cOIIIllOn ser vice s must be solved wi thin the contex t of article 19 of th e cons titution . As soon as th e Cons ti tution has entered into force and th e new organization has acqu ired ful l legal capacity , i t will be for the Director-General , with the appr oval of th e Board and subject to th e d irectives determined by th e Conference , to conclude agr eements governing the relations of UN IDO wi th other organizations � n th e United Nations system and with other intergovernmental

/ . . .


organizations. Qlly then wil l the new UN mo be able to negotiate on a footing of equal ity with th e other organi zations concerned, with the purpose of mak ing agreeme nts leading to the establishment , as far as the common services are c oncerned, o f a sys tem of relationsh ips that will ensure the maximum degr ee of efficiency , the best use of resources , a harmonious system of collaboration and the pr eservat ion by the var ious organi zat ions ·o f con tr ol over those serv ices that are i ndispensable for the ir normal operation. Unti l such agreements ar e concluded , we c onsider it necessary that th e present arrangements cover ing the admini str ation , operation and use of the existing common ser vices at the Vienna Internat ional Centre should be ma intained and continued .

19. Regarding relations wi th the hos t country , our views ar e on the same line s . We consider that i t will be the responsibility of the c ompetent bodies o f th e new UNIDO to conclude a new headquarters agreement wi th the hos t Government , as provided · i n ar ticle 2 0 o f the Constitution. Meanwhile , i t might perhaps be useful and advisable for the ll'lited Nation s , UN IOO and the Governmen t of Aus tr ia to enter into a pr ov isional agr eement extending the operat ion of the exis ting r egulat ions until the new agreement come s i nto force .

2 0 . With regard to th e date of entry · into force o f the new UNIDO Constitut ion , the Latin Amer ican Group cons ider s that there is no need to wai t until the organi zation ' s f inanc.ial v iability i s fully g uaranteed befor e f ix ing th is date . As far as we are concerned , financ ial viabil ity means the assurance that the pr incipal c on tr ibuting countr ies have deposited their ins tr umen ts of r atification and that the largest poss ible proportion of the resource s needed for the normal functioning o f the new organi zat �on i s avai lable .

2 1 . We would therefore l ike to take th is oppor tuni ty to appeal to those coun tr ies whi ch have not already done so to make every ef fort to complete the ir constitutional r atif ication procedures . This appeal i s d irected particularly to the coun tr ies whi ch by reason of the ir economi c importance wil l have to assume a hi gher plac e in the scale of contr ibut ions once it has been established. We mus t not forget that, while this organization ha s been conce ived principally to promote and accelerate i ndustr ial development in th e developing coun tr ies , i ts purpose i s also to help to stimulate development and indus tr ial co-operation among all the countries of the wor ld , whatever their economic, social or political system .

2 2. As our Cha irman said in the statemen t he has j ust made , the Group of 7 7 , during the two months o f i nformal consultations pr eceding th is formal meeting , has displayed a great deal of team sp ir i t and sp ir i t of compromise . In these two months , wi th in the Group o f 77, La tin Amer ica has co-operated very actively, mak ing i ts modest contr ibution to the tas k of ens uring adequate pr eparation for these c onsultations, so that we can br ing them to a s uccessful conclusion and adopt substant ive , concrete conclus ions. In thi s same order of ideas , the Latin Amer ican Gr oup wishes to s tr ess i ts v iew that a ll the items of the agenda mus t be considered parts of an i ndivis ible whole and that the document resulting from these consultations mus t cover all th e i tems and contain conclusions on all the substant ive questions raised in the agenda .

I . . .

I

A/38/141 &tglish Page 28

23. At th e same time , th e La tin Amer ican Group considers that the conclusions we reach must not be limited to mere formal statements, but must contain as much s ubstance as possible i n relation to each o f th e s ubstantive i tems o f the agenda . In the opinion of the Lati n American Groqp , these conclusions 1nust under no c irc umstances i nvolve interf erence i n matters with in th e c onpetence of dec isionma king organs of the new organization , or prej udge the decisions that these organs will take once they s tart to f unction . I t i s our view rather that the conclusions we reach should be designed to serve as guidance for the new organization in order to put i t i n a position f ully to perform th e f unctions a ssigned to i t i n th e Constitution.

24. Latin Amer ica w ill participate in th e consultat ions in th e same sp ir it o f co�eration and compromise , but also beari ng i n mind the need to avoid any formulation wh ich will mean g iv ing up positions of principle that are c onsidered esse ntia l i f the goals of the new organization are to be achi eved .

2 5. In conclusion , _ I should l ike on behalf o f the Latin Amer ican Group to express our thank s to Ambassador lhar of Nig er ia for hi s excellent work as cha irman of the i nformal consultations h eld dur ing th e last three months. We wish to pay tr ibute to hi s unstinti ng co-operation and hi s dedication in the discharge of thi s tas k and we are deeply g r atef ul to h im.

26. I wish a lso on behalf o f our Group to congratulate you , Mr Chairman, on your election, to wish yo u complete succes s and to offer you our fullest co-operation in ensur ing that we have a fr ui tful meeting .

GROUP OF AFRI CAN COUN TRI ES

Statement by th e representative of th e I vory Coast, Cha irman of the Group

1 . Mr . Cha irman, the African Groqp , through me , applauds your election a s Chairman o f th is inportant mee ting , c ongratulates y ou o n that e lection and conveys to you its good wishes for every succes s in your tas k. It assures you of its c�perat ion towards the frui tful outcome of the important task entr usted to you , convinced that your au thor ity , in th e service o f the common goal, and your talents and qual ities a s a d ipiomat o f the f irst r _ank will ensure the s uccess of the formal meeting on the transformation of UN IDO into a speciali zed agency .

2 . We should l ike t o express our sincere thank s to all those who , i n var ious ways, have made this meeting possible. In particular, we wish to thank the Austr ian author ities for having made a vailable th is setting, th e Hofburg Palace, imbued with the tradition of i nternational ga therings i n thi s beautifu l and hospitable capital , Vienna , and th e Secretary-Ge neral of the Un ited Nations , who has provided the r equisite conf erence services and resources for it .

3 . UNIDO was born 18 years ago. I n resolution 2152 ( XXI) o f 17 November 1966, the General Assembly , whi ch established UNIDO, assigned to it the aim of promoting

I . . .

A/38/14 1 Engl ish Page 2 9

indus tr ia l development and of facilita ting , fostering and accelerating the i ndustr iali zat ion of the developing countr ies . It also set for th the tasks to be carried out to that end .

4. UNIDO appears to have aoconplished a considerable amount dur ing i ts 18 years of exi stence . During the past 10 year s, more than 10 ,00 0 proj ects have been under taken by th e organi zation , of wh ich 1 , 3 30 , for an estimated $76 million , were for the year 1980 alone .

s . At th e moment when UNIDO i s mak ing ready to don i ts new garb, it g ives us pleasure to pay tribute to all those who, in the ir own way , have helped to mak e th is outcome possi ble . In par ticula r , we should li ke to express our deep grati tude to the developed countries whi ch have provided the greater par t of the requisite resources to that end .

6 . As we enter a dec isive phase o f the conversion o f UNIDO into a speciali zed agency , we deem it a suitable moment to r eview br iefly the reasons underlying thi s change , in order to appraise objectively the problems i t r aises and to seek posit ively for solutions.

7. Paragr aph 1 of Ge neral Assembly resolut ion 2 089 ( XX) of 20 December 19 65 established UN IDO . That paragraph, recalled in section II of resolution 215 2 (XXI) by which UNIDO was organi zed, confer red on it th e s tatus of an • autonomous organization• within the United Nations - a compromise solution, designed to satisfy those who wished i t to be a specialized agency and those who did not desire a departure from the former Uni ted Nations Centre for Industr ia l Developme nt . Thus UNIDO , although autonomous, was dependent upon United Nat ions Headquarters i n regard t o the pr eparation of its programme budget and t o personnel appoi ntments and promotions .

8 . The dr awback s o f such a s tatus - which , in the words of an Afr ican proverb, requ ire s UN IDO to sit on two cha irs - were very soon felt. We would mention two of them - not th e least among them - one o f which concerns the Ex ecutive Director • s au thor ity , and the o ther the organization ' s resources.

9 . The Ex ecutiv e D i r ec tor 1 lack ing th e power o f per sonnel appointment and

pranotion, is unable to ex ercise in full, d irectly or ind irectly , the requisite author ity in th is regard . Smooth operat ion and e fficiency wer e bound to suffer as a result .

10 . With regard to resources , th e activ it ies of UNIDO have constantly grown in intens ity and scope . Among those added to its initial tasks are those concerned with the industr ial f ield , in r elation to the establishment of a new i nternat ional ecionomic order, entrusted to i t by the General Assembly in resolution 320 2 ( S-VI) adopted a t i ts sixth spec ial session . In or der to meet i ts r esponsibili ties in full, therefore , UNIDO required ever-increasing funds. However , since these requirements i n th e f ield o f industr ial development are appraised not in terms of the ir own prior it ies but in parallel wi th those of other spheres of act ivity wi th a view to shar ing l imi ted resources with them, it has not been possi ble to allocate sufficient funds to deal wi th them .

/ . . .

'


1 1 . These c onsiderat ions expla in the pos i tions adopted by th e Af� ican Group i n regard to the questions ar ising from the conver sion of UNIDO into a spec ialized agency. To s ummar ize these , we shall say that we are in favour of a conversion whi ch preser ves the past wi th regard to what is good and changes it wi th regard to what is detr imental . We shall i llustr ate th is approach by our posi tion with regard to questions relat ive to the structure, programme and resources of the new UN IDO .

1 2 . wi th r egard to s tr uctur e , th e desirable changes have been set for th in article 1 1 of the Constitution of the new organization. Pursuant to thi s provision , th e Director-Ge neral i s responsi ble for personnel appointment, organization and management .

13. The r ule concerning p ersonnel r ecruitment on a broad and equitable geogr aph ical basi s , envisaged in ar ticle 1 1 , should not , i n the view of the Afr ican Group , be appl ied i n a sense which would tend to weaken the Director-Ge neral ' s author ity, paralyse the new organization ' s operation or create considerable add itional expense . we deem i t wise t o k eep the pr esent number o f posts which a re hierarch ically the highest in the secretar iat .

14 . With r egard to programme , we should l ike to see a continuation o f th e c urrent programme , an increase in technical assistance act ivities and a maintenance of the pr ior ity attached to th e I ndustr ial Development Decade for Afr ica, assis.tance to the least developed countr ies , the System of Consultations and the projects relating to i ndustr ial technology , h uman resources development and energy.

15 . FUture programmes might well be insp ired , it seems to us, by those envisaged by th e Ge neral As sembly, th e Ge neral Conferences of UNIDO and the I ndustr ial Development Board , and by the objectives and functions def ined respectively i n artic les 1 and 2 o f th e Constitution of th e new organi zation .

16. Since more funds are requ ired for the car rying out of UN IDO programmes , i t . seems i nf ini tely desirable that th e annual target of $ 50 million established for the f inancing level of the united Nations Industr ial Development Fund - which the Industr ial Development Fund envisaged in article 17 of th e Constitution of the new organization is to replac e - should be speedily attained. In thi s respect we appeal to all S tates members of UN IDO , · i n partic ular to th e developed coun tr ies .

17 . In order to safeguard the new organization from recurring f inancial d iffic ulties , it is imPor tant to provide it wi th a wor k ing c apital , on the lines of other specialized ag enc ies.

18 . Having r egard to th e requ isi te f inancial conditions for the entry i nto force of the Constitution of the new organization and the need to mobilize more funds than in th e past wi th a view to attaining th e Lima target of a 2 5 per cent share by the developing countr ies in world industr ial production by the year 200 0 , we make an urgent appeal to countr ies which have not already done so to express , in th e near future , the ir consent to be bound by the Constitut ion.

19 . The preliminary consultations which have j ust been held on the c awersion of UNIDO i nto a spec ialized agency revealed disagreement concerning some questions to be c onsidered dur ing th is meeting .

I . . .


20. we hope , however , that the negot iation to be undertaken on thi s occasion -which we would l i ke to view as a fraternal d ialog ue - will lead to a better under standi ng of the various delegations ' posi t ions and , finally , to language which will enable th e dif fer ences to be smoothed - the language of the universal , as a French author , saint EK upery , wou ld have said. The clear mutual interests of all p eoples call for s uch language.

2 1 . Al though the world economy exper ienced an except ional growth dur ing th e 2 5 years aft er the Second World War , that growth was not equitably shared by the var ious regions of th e wor ld , on account of an i nternational economic system wh ich make s the r i ch ri cher by making the poor poor er . The inequal i t ies whi ch arose have been aggr avated by th e economic cr i si-s now a ffecting the wor ld .

2 2 . In the developing countr ies , hung er , malnu tr i t ion and illi te racy have now assumed a larming propor tions . Those countr ies ' external debt threatens the wor ld wi th bank ruptcy .

2 3. Today , 90 per cent of the wor ld ' s i ndus try and th e major ity o f patents a re i n the hands of the developed countr ies. Cor recti ng thi s imbalance will enable the developed countr ies to increase th eir expor ts and will again r ai se th e level of world economic ac t ivity.

2 4. If wor ld i ndustr ial pr oduc tion i s not r estr uc tur ed , th e gap between th e developed and the developing countr ies will widen, and peace will be ser iously th reatened. The President of th e Republic of th e Ivory Coast s tated r ecently, on the occasion of the Wor ld FOod Day, that a food catas trophe on a wor ld-wide scale •would , i n i ts i nev itable extension , spare no par t of mank ind - either those who today claim to have sufficient or those who wan t • . Iet us make sure tha t thi s never happens .

GROUP OF INTERESTED COUNTRI ES OF GROUP 0

Statement by the representative of the On ion of Sovie t Soc ial ist Republics on behalf of the interested countr ie s of Group D

1. Mr . Cha irman, permit me to congratulate you and the other off icer s of these meetings on your election and to expr es s th e hope that you will make every effor t to ens ure the ir succes s . I should also l ike to we lcome the representative of the Secr etary-Ge neral of the United na t ions , who has addressed us .

2. In the cour se of our preparations for these consultations , an under standing was reached to the e ffect tha t , at the 1st plenary meeting , each g roup would set for th i ts point of view on all the issues whi ch are i ncluded in the agenda of the present consultat ions, so that a ll the par ticipants i n these consultat ions might under stand whi ch i ssue s are in the fore front of the cons ideration of a par ticular group and g ive r i se to a pa r t icular concern . Proceeding from th is unders tand ing , our group would like now t o set for th i ts views on all the i ssues which concern the c onversion o f UNIDO i nto a spec ial ized Un i ted nat ions agency and which have been included in the agenda of our consultat ions .

/ . . .

•


3 . F i r s t o f all , I should l i ke t o enphasi ze t h e fact that our delegat ions attach great importance to the mee tings whi ch have now begun on the convers ion of UN IDO i nto a special ized agency and that , for their own par t, they will e ndeavour to con tribute to these d i sc uss ions in a construct ive sp iri t .

4 . On the basis o f the agr eement r eached dur ing the prelimi nary d iscussions to the effect that each group of countr ies . represented i n UN IDO would express i ts views on the agenda i tems dur ing the formal meetings , th e i nteres ted G roup D countr ies would l ike to make the following statement .

s . The basic posi tion of our Governments i s that . i ndustry i n the development process i s the most dynamic and dec is ive factor in the struggle of the developing countr ies for pol itical and economic i ndependence and for social progr ess .

6. At the same time , bel ieving a s we d o tha t the role o f UN IDO i s not merely one of prov iding assis tance to the developing c ountr ies i n the area o f industr iali zat ion , we tak e a broad er approach to this organization. It is our deep convict ion that , a s a universal organi zat ion , the new special i zed agency should serve the object ive of development and co-operation between al l coun tr ies at the global, reg iona l and nat ional levels, and a lso at th e sector al level , as envisaged in th e Constitut ion of UN IDO .

7 . I t i s par ticularly inpor tant to enphasi ze the role o f UN IDO a s a means o f attenuati ng the ruinous effect o n th e developing coun tr ies o f the cr isis bese tting th e world c apital ist economic system . The socialist States are f ull of under standing for the d itficulties which the developing countr ies are exper ienc ing and, w i th in th e l imits of their c apaci ty, are a ssis ting and suppor ting these coun tr ie s in every way , i ncluding action through i nternational organizations .

8 . In i ts wor k , the new UND>O must · e ns ur e that th e p rocess of i ndustr ial development i n the developing countr ies i s not used for the purpose of pursuing neo-c olonial ist exploitat ion or g aini ng one-sided advantages by · some developed capital ist coun tr ies and the ir monopol ist car tel s , as i � now often done by c ertai n States that use any oppor tuni ty to impose on th e developing nat ions p r inciples which have been rejec ted by history .

9 . As we are all aware, the new Cons ti tut ion o f UNIDO has def ined the organi zation ' s goals and functions and i ts place withi n the United Na tions system • .

At the present t ime , dur ing these o.ff ic ial c onsultat ions on th e c onversion of UNIDO i nto a spec iali zed agency , i t is essential f irst of all to adhere s trictly to these prov is ions of the Cons titut ion and to the most important decisions of th e Ge neral Assembly , the Economic and Soc ial Counc il, the General Conferences of UNIDO and the I ndustr ial Developmen t Board r egarding matters o f i nternat ional i ndustr ial co-operation and development and the pr ior ity areas in the organization ' s wor k .

10 . In the opinion o f th e socialist countr ies , w i th in th e c oo text o f the over all operations of UN IDO , the main attention should be focused on the technical assistance progr ammes , the s tr ategy o f i ndus tr ial development and planning , the traini ng of national personnel for the i ndustr ie s of the developing countr ies and th e progr ammes for th e developmen t and tr ansfer of technology , i ncluding the latest

technology which, a s ind icated by the sympos ium recently held a t Tbil isi o n the s ubject o f modern technology and development, r epresents an essential condition for speed ing up the process of establ i shing and strengthening the economic , technical and scien tif ic capac ity of the developing countr ies and for ensur ing their ability to develop along independent lines .

11. On the question o f th e spec if ic s teps t o be taken by the new organi zat ion i n impleme nting these pr inc iples of the Constitution of UN IOO , th e pos it ion o f the s oc ial ist countr ies i s based on th e f ollowing consider ations .

12. As we see it, the Industr ial Development Board and the Programme and Budget Committee should scr upulously observe th e provisions o f the Cons titut ion r egarding the di stinction as to the purposes of the regular and operat ional budge ts of UN IDO and should not permi t the use o f assessed contr ibut ions to the regular budget to cover def ic i ts ar ising out of the organization ' s operations , nor should it permi t the unj ustif ied expendi tur e o f funds on progranunes connec ted w i th inves tment co-operation and the System of Consultat ions.

13. .The tasks fac ing the developing coun tr ies in the ar ea o f i ndustr ial development are enormous in scope and will r equ ire colossal cap ital inve stment . As we know, UNIDO has extr emely l imi ted f inancial resources . It is, therefor e , par t icular ly important that these limited. funds should be used to maximum effect, which in t ur n requires sytematic improvement o f the organi zation ' s oper ational e ff ic iency and elimination from i ts procedures of any elements of duplicat ion and overlapping or th e squander ing of r esources on secondary and o bsolete areas of activity.

14. we regard the unj ust if ied growth of the organi�ation • s budget as unaccePtable . At the same t ime , with r espect to the f inanci ng of industr ial development, we under stand that an incr eased flow of resources to the developing countr ies would con tr ibute to the process of th eir i ndustr ia l i zat ion J however , th e i nternat ional situation i s such tha t the arms race unleashed by cer tai n c ircles is d iver ting huge amounts of money to unproduc tive ends. It is ther efor e by r es training the arms rac e and through d isarmament tha t i t will be possible to allocate the conside�able additional r esoutces needed for th e purposes of the economic and social development of all countr ies, i ncluding the developing coun tr ie s .

15 . The new UNIDO Constitution env isages the need t o establish a scale o f assessment for contr ibut ions by the organization ' s member s. We believe that the scale o f assessmen t should r emain at the level that already exists i n the United Nations .

16 . W i th r egard to the I ndustr ial Development Fund , which has already been e stabl ished in the uni ted Nations system on the pr inciple of voluntary c on tr ibutions and wh ich , following the c onversion of UNIDO i nto a spec ial i zed agency, will become an i ntegral part of i ts structure , we consider it necessary to maintain th is voluntary pr inciple in th e f uture as well.

17. Inasmuch as UN IDO i s an i nternational organizat ion which wa s set up in accordance w i th Chapter I X o f th e Char ter o f the United Na tions , each o f i ts members and the secretar iat undertake to respec t the i nternational character of the

l l

I . . .

f


organization . Accordingly , they should take s teps to preven t the mach inery and budgetary resources (including the System of Consultations and the Investment Progr amme) of UNIDO from being used by transnational corporations and pr ivate capital in the ir effor ts to pene trate the economies of the developing countr ies , with negative consequences on th eir soc io-economic systems which are familiar enough. It i s also nece�sary to note that , according to the Constitution , it i s not one o f th e f unctions o f UNIDO to provide th is k ind o f assistance .

18. The soc ialist countr ies are profoundly convinced that UN IDO can becane an e ffective organization if all three groups of countr ies are equitably r epresented and actively par ticipate in i t . The effectiveness of the organization ' s wor k as a whole depends on how effectively all of i ts members wor k i ndividually . From that point of view, it seems to us, the present situation wi th regard to the staff of the UN IDO secr etar iat does not fully meet th is requ ir ement.

19. It is essential that measures should be taken to reduce the existing administrative and s uppor t s taff , and a lso the s taff of the branches and sect ions dealing wi th matter s connected wi th the organi zation of the consultation meetings and the conduct of i nvestment co-operation progr ammes . This will help to establish a secretar iat structure more fully in accord wi th the objectives and tasks of the organization. In i ts procedures , th e new organi zat ion should take i nto account the provisions of the Charter of the united Nations and the practice of the ·united Nations with regard to th e distr i bution of posts, as well as the appropr iate provisions of the UNIDO Constitution . On thi s issue , the socialist countr ies have come to the following conclusions . e 2 0 . The group of social ist countr ies considers that th e top management of UN IDO should consist of the Director- General, two Deputy Director s-General and four heads of the ma in depar tments of th e sec

.retar iat : (a) Administration and External

Relation s , (b) Industr ial Co-operation , (c ) Industr ial Operations and (d) Industr ial S tudies and Technology.

21. TO enable UN IDO to discharge i ts functions more effect ively , it seems advisable . to establish a Council of Dir ectors consisting of h eads of department to review the most important i ssues connected wi th the act ivities of the UN IDO secr etar iat. We are convinced that s Uch a leadersh ip s tr ucture would make i t possible t o secure the most effective implementation of the assignments facing the organization , together . w i th a balanced r epresen tation of the main groups of countr ies, and would not requ ire any substantial reorganization of the ex isting s tr ucture o f the secretar iat .

2 2. The conversion of UN IDO i nto a United Nations specialized agency should not lead to an increase in the staff of the secretar iat . In order to arr ive at a more democr atic way of dealing with matters concerning appointments to senior posts from , say , the level of head of section and upwards, it is essential that such appointments should be subject to review and confirmation by the I ndustr ial Development Board. Thi s will also ass ist in the equitable distr ibution of posts among the ma in groups of countr ies belonging to UN IDO .

/ . . .

•


2 3. The present d i str ibu tion of posts i n the UN IDO secretar iat , at the level of head of sec tion and above , includ ing L-5, L-6 and L-7 posts, shows that the social ist countr ies are underr epresented both in the top management of the organization as a whole and in a number of units which are basic elements in the secretar iat , par ticularly in the Division of Policy Co-ordination , the Divi sion of Admini str ation , including the Fi nancial Services , and the Div is ion for Industr ial Studies .

24. In the l ight of these c ircumstances and the pr inciples of equ itable represe ntation of the main groups of countr ies belong ing to UN IDO, the group of socialist countr ies ough t to have one post o f Deputy Dir ector-Ge neral , seven to nine posts of d irector of department or d ivision and other senior pos itions at the D-1 or D-2 level , and between 2 0 and 25 pos ts at th e P- 5 level .

2 5. It i s essential that , in i ts new form, the organization should eliminate the system and pr actice o f awarding permanent contr acts, on the unders tanding that any such contracts concluded before the start of these consultations shall remain in force .

26. We s tress that our group of countr ies i n no way intends to obtain any k ind of advantage at the expense of other groups . At the same time , we would draw attention to the fact that i t is inadmissible for other groups to gain advan tages at th e expense of Group D. unconcealed discr iminat ion has led to a situation in whi ch the · socialist countr ies are v ir tually exc luded from pos ts in a number of UN IDO sections , such as the Financ ial and Personnel Services . Thi s state of affa irs is irregular and should be rectif ied .

2 7 . As regards arr angements for the tr ansitional per iod , th e social ist countr ies assume that during thi s per iod the UN IDO secretar iat will function strictly in accordance with Ge neral As sembly r esolutions, in par ticular resolution 3 4/96 on thi s quest ion , and also in conformity wi th the agreeme nts reached during the official consultations . We also assume that the s tr uc ture o f the UN IDO secretar iat during the per iod in que stion will not be changed from i ts present form in any way .

28. The questions o f the effect of UN IDO ' s asswnption of special ized agency s tatus on the exi sting common ser vices at the Vienna Internat ional Centre and relations of UNIDO with th e host country can hardly be dec ided dur ing th e current consultat ions . Such questions can be resolved only wi th the par tic ipation of all Vienna�ased organizations of the Un ited Nations system that are concerned by th em . In cons idering these ma tter s, it would be appropriate to take into account how similar questions were resolved, in pa rticular , at the I nternational Atomic Energy Agency and also at the United Nations Office at Geneva .

29. At is well known , before the c urrent formal consultations on th e convers ion of UNIDO i nto a United Nations spec iali zed agency , meetings of the contact group were held over a per iod of two mon ths , and these permi tted an exchange o f v iews on a number of key questions connected wi th the consultations.

3 0 . We wish to express our appr eciation to the chairman of th e contact group, Mr. umar of Nig er ia , for the pos itive role he played in the or ganization and conduc t of these meetings .

I . . .

31. Du r ing th e wor k of the contact group, th e social ist coun tr ies s ubmitted for the consideration of other par tic ipants a number of documents dealing wi th a broad range of questions r elating to th e conver sion of UN IDO i nto a specialized agency. We think that these documents could be incorporated i nto the final docwnent of the formal consultations .

32. We also wish to express the hope that th ese consultations will have a positive outcome . OUr group will do i ts utmost to ensure that this i s the case .

3 3. Mr . Cha irman , we have an impor tant and r esponsible task before us in the next tew days .

34. Since we have so l ittle t ime to deal with the questions awaiting our consideration , the group of socialist countr ies thinks it would be advisable to se t up a wor k ing group to d iscuss and dr aft the c onclud ing docwnent of the formal consultations , in accordance wi th the practic e wor ked out in the in forma l c oosultations.

3 5. The positions taken by coun tr ies i n consider ing ques tions r elating to the conversion of UN EDO i nto a speciali zed agency of the United Nations and i ts future activ ities w ill depend on the r esult s of the consultations and the extent to which they reflec t the interests of all groups of coun tr ies .

36. we have put forward the ideas which w e th ink will help t o br ing about mor e ac tive participation by all groups of countr ies in the wor k of UN IDO and to make th e organi zation as a whole mor e e ffective. Du r ing these consultat ions we should l ike to wor k in a constructive sp irit towards the adoption of mutually acceptable decisions i n th e i nterests o f all groups o f countr ies .

CHINA

1. Mr . Cha irman, the Chinese delegation is very pleased to join all the delegations her e i n th is consultation on the question of th e c ooversion of UN IDO into a spec ialized agency . It i s our hope that , through thi s consultation , agr eemen ts on impor tant matters can be· reach ed wh ich are not only acceptable to all s ide s , but will help the new UN IDO fulf il its difficult bu t important ma ndate . In order to pr epare for th_e present coosultation , a ser ies of informal consultat ions have been held at Vienna from March of thi s year. In the name of the Chinese delegation, I would l ike to expr ess our s i ncere thank s to the chairman of th e informal consultations over the past two and a half mon ths, the Cha irman of the Group o f 7 7 , Hi s Excellency the Ambassador of N ig er ia . The Ch inese delegation would l ike br ie fly to expr es s i ts views on substantive matter s concerning the convers ion o f UN IDO .

2 . Concerning i tern 7 , the date on which th e new UNIDO should become e ffectives Since the Second General Conference of UNEDO, the Chinese Government has c onsistently g iven i ts active suppor t to th e cawersion of UN l[)O i nto a t»pec ialized agency. China was one of the f irst six coun tries to rat ify the Constitution of UNIDO . At as 9 Augus t 1982, 80 c oun tr ies had already submi tted their ratificat ion ,

/ . . .


acce.ptance or approval (including 6 7 developing countr ies and 13 developed countr ies) , wh ich constitutes the minimum number of member coun tr ies r equ ir ed for the Constitution of UNIDO to enter i nto force . As at 16 May 198 3 , the number of s uch countr ies has already r eached 9 6 . The Ch inese delegation i s prepared to wait for a c ertain amount of time so as to allow for broader international industr ial co-operation, including co-oper ation among the developing countr ies and co-operat ion between the developing and developed countr ies . We appeal to those Governments which have yet to r atify th e Cons titution of UN IDO , par ticular ly the few major Power s , to do so as soon as poss ible , so as to enable the new UN IDO to function under better c onditions .

3 . Concerning i tem 3 , the f uture d ir ection o f the new UN IDO as a specialized agency: The Chinese delegation is of the view that the conversion of UN IDO i nto a spec ialized agency, g iving the organi zation autonomy i n i ts progr amme , budget and appoi ntment of personnel of the secretar iat , doe s not meet the full expectations of th e developing coun tr ies . The fundamental objective o f the conversion of UN IDO goes fur ther than these . Ole important prerequisite should be that the new UN IDO will have· an appropr iate level of administrative budget . I n par ticular , the funds for co-operation must be adequate . Wor king under this premise and operating i ndependently on i ts progr amme and administr at ive budget , the new UN IDO can then play a noticeably greater and more effect ive role in promoting industr ialization of the developing countr ies as compared to the UN IDO befor e i ts conversion . Also , the main executing personnel of the programme s for i ndustr ial development co-operation , that i s , the personnel o f th e UNIDO secretar iat , especially those o f senior-level posts , should be , to a greater extent , f illed by persons from the developing countr ies who are aware of the situat ion and needs of the th ird wor ld countr ies . This will help UNIDO reach i ts fundamental obj ect ive for conversion. The following are some o f our concrete views and r ecommendat ions concerning the sub-i terns under agenda item 3 a

(a) Concerning the progr amme for the new UN IDO : I n pr inciple , we suppor t the proposals put forward by the Group of 7 7 during the informal consultations. The f irst g eneral point i s that th e ongoing progr amme before the conversion should be implemented until completion by the new UN IDO . The convers ion should not disr�t any progr amme or project. Second, the mandate o f th e new UN IDO has been c lear ly stipulated in ar ticle 2 of the Constitution of UN IDO . Those areas of activitie s and th e pr ior ity areas o f UN IDO defined by the r esolutions o f the Ge neral Assembly, the success ive General Conferences of UN IDO and the sessions of the Industrial Development Board should con tinue to be effective .

(b) Concerning the financing of UN IDO: If the new UN IDO i s to implement the 18 f unctions s tipulated i n a rticle 2 o f the Cons titution , it will r equir e suff icient fund s . It is true that a number of developed countr ies are presently going through an economic r ecession. However , to assur e that the assessed UNIDO contr ibutions maintain a suitable level of increase , and that the contr ibutions to the Indus tr ia l Development Fund become universal and have a v isible annual i ncrease , constitute not only a part of the duty of developed countr ies in helping the developing countr ies to promote their i ndustry, but also a way to contr ibute to the South-Nor th co-operation. From the long-term point of view, thi s will also benefi t the developed countr ies i n return . Furthermor e , frankly speak ing , the f inancial burden

/ . . .

A/38/141 English Page 38

that UNIDO and th e rest of the United Nations development system incur on the developed countr ies constitutes only a negl ig ible fract ion of the ir powerful economic c apacities and h igh level of th e gross nat ional product.

4. Wi th regard to the question of the financing of UN EDO , the Chinese delegation advocates th e pr inciple of "broadening of th e sources of income• and •practicing economy • . Tha t is to say , we favour a meticulous con trol of expenditure and a r ational and effective utili zat ion of funds, so that the limited resources can be put to a relat ively greater use in pushing forward the i ndustr ial ization of developing countr ies . The future Programme and Budget Commi ttee , the new Industr ial Development Board and the new UN DDO secretar ia t shall have opportunities to study and r ev iew the questions per taining to th ese two aspects. Her e , we would l ike to

.make a suggestion: UN IDO is now s uffering from funding difficulties , and we can h ardly expec t any r ad ical inprovement i n i ts f inancial s i tuat ion i n th e near futur e . We know that in the ent ire united Nations system , including the UN IDO secr etar iat, the s taff members , espec ially h igh-level ones, receive salar ies above the norms of personnel in equivalent posts in many developed countr ies. We propose that salary norms for h igh-rank ing s taff in th e new UN IDO be suitably lowered . We are certain that the high-ranking functionar ies of the UN IDO secretar iat who are wor king for the industr ial ization of th e developing coun tr ies will approve of our prqx>sal .

5 . Concerning the s tr uctur e and s taff ing of th e new UN IDO , we have the following proposals and sugg estions to make: �

(a) First, the s tr ucture of the secretar iat should be s treamlined and made highly effic ient , i ts size should be geared to levels of financ ial resources and operat ion activities and should be s tr uctured in a thr ee-tiered h ier archy, that i s , composed of a Director-General and a Deputy Director- General , d irectors of d ivis ions , head s of branches or sec tions and their deputies . The Director-General shall come . from a developing country , and i t is preferable to have only one Deputy Di rector-General who comes from a developed coun try .

(b) Second, the dissemi nation and exchange of i ndustr ial and technological i nformat ion and th e tr ansfer of technology are of great inpor tance and urgency to developing coun tr ies . The Secretar iat ' s technology programme should be reinforced accor dingly . At presen t, industr ial research and the technology progr amme actually belong to two separate functional units. We suggest that the technology programme be made an i ndependent d iv ision. In addition , the Chinese language serv ices of the s�cretar iat should also be reinforced and staffed wi th translator s and i nterpreters who are not only competent in their respective professions but also conver sant with

· knowledge in industry , so that they may be brought in line wi th the Engl ish , French , Spanish, Russian and Arabic language services . Other branches of th e se cretar iat could be mai ntained at the ir present level.

(c) Th ird, at present, the propor tion of professional s taff i n UN IDO coming from developing countr ies is really too small . Thi s inequitable situation ought t o b e changed hencefor th . The h ir ing o f profess ional s taff should follow the pr inciple of a wide and equitable geographical distr ibution, that is to say , i t � should be propor tional to the number of countr ies in a g iven r egion , more s taff W

being hired from reg ions wi th a larger number of countr ies and less from those wi th a smaller number of countr ies . The Constitut ion of UNIDO , in distr ibuting seats on the Industr ial Development Board and the Programme and Budget Committee , can serve as a g uide to the way in wh ich the UNIDO secretar iat should follow in formulat ing its personnel policy . It is obviously unsuitable to advocate a policy of staff d istr ibut ion by groups of S tates , when cer tain groups compr ise some 10 countr ies and o thers , l ike the Group of 7 7, represent more than a hundred countr ies. Even i f Groups D and B wer e combined together to make u p a bloc on the one hand wi th the Group of 7 7 on the other , thi s formula would still be unacceptable to the developing countr ies . Needless to add that the Group of 77 does not include all the developing countr ies of the world .

6 . Mr . Cha irman , we will consult fur ther with the other delegat ions as we d iscuss the various agema items in the wor king group .

BELGIUM

Mr . Cha irman, Belg ium has deposi ted instrume nts of · ratification of the Constitut ion o f th e Un i ted Nat ions Industr ial Development Organi zat ion . We are in favour of the new spec ialized agency and we hope that it will be set up as soon as possible . Secondly, we shall be prepared to not ify the Secretary-Ge neral of the United Nations of our agreement concerning i ts en try into force , in accordance wi th ar ticle 2 5 o f the Constitut ion , when apprOximately 98 per cent of the budgetary contr ibutions are guaranteed . In the third place , thi s meeting i s a meeting of consultations among S tates , pursuant to Ge neral Assembly r esolut ion 3 7/213 . I n addition , thi s meeting i s a follow-up t o the one organized i n New Yor k a t united Nations Headquarters on 2 5 January 1983 , and will be followed by another meeting , also i n New Yor k . I n the four th place , this cannot be a meeting among groups or d iscussions between one so-called group and another . This i s a meeting for consultations among i nterested States. In the f if th place , no more i s thi s, in our opinion , a meeting of plenipotentiar ies called upon to under take commitments . Can we supplant the Industr ial Development Board and the Ge�eral Conference provided for i n the Constitut ion? Obviously not . We for our par t refuse to undertake commitments as long as we do not know the date of entry i nto forc e of the Constitution . This pos i tion i s the opposi te of the one taken by the Union of Soviet Social i st Republi cs and Group D. Yesterday , the Soviet union - and we all admired the subtlety o f the remarks - set for th the conditions for rat if icat ion , whi ch i ncluded obtaining 3 5 posts at the Director level i n the new agency. I . fear that the Soviet Un ion may thus have tolled the death knell for these consultat ions , whi ch may now be destined to fai l , even if we manage to conceal the fact under some c lever wording. My las t r emark i s that for us , the main concern r emains to determine the date , the t ime , of entry i nto force. We should have preferred that th is i tem be placed at the head of the agenda . Consider ation of r elevant matters depends on this , and not the other way round , as the Soviet union would have i t . Despite our p essimism , or a t the very least our sceptici sm , we urge the nine major contr ibuting States , in other word s , those whi ch will have to pay more than 1 per cent o f the budget , to enable us to determine the date of entry into force by explaini ng here the ir attitude s and providing the information that we want and need .

I . . .


UN ITED STATES OF AMERICA

1. Mr . Cha irman, le t me join f irst in congratulating you and member s of the Bureau on their election , and to s tate my confidence that you will guide our meeting to a successful conclusion j ust as you did the Industr ial Development Board las t wee k . I for one have simply not g iven up hope that th is meeting can in fact reach a successful conclus ion. I would also l ike to take thi s occas ion to thank Ambassador Umar of Niger ia for h i s leadersh ip of th e contact group over th e last two months. The wor k of that group has , I believe , laid a good foundation for our future deliber ations a s has our Conference over th e pas t three wee ks with in the framewor k of the old UN IDO .

2. In submitting th e Cons titut ion of the new UN IDO to the United States Senate , Pres ident Reagan favoured it as, and I quote , •an opportunity to increase UN IDO ' s e ffectiveness i n promoting economic development i n th e developing countr ies • and " a strong reaff irmation of th e United States ' canmitment to the i ndustrial development of the less developed coun tr ies" . That i s a canmi tmen t of my Government and I can reaff irm tha t commitment onc e again today . The Senate Fore ign Relations Committee has unanimously appr oved th e Cons ti tut ion and has sent it to th e f ull Se nate wher e it awaits final act ion on advice and consent . The Reagan Adminis tration is urgi ng ear ly Senate action i n th is regard, and let me assure all here that the impor tance whi ch speaker s at thi s mee ting have attached to United States ratificat ion will be c onveyed to Wa shington. The United States of Amer ica , Mr . Chairman , i s conv inced that a successful outcome of our consultations thi s week will be important in moving UNIDO forward towards the s tatus of a speciali zed agency within the United Nations system . We ar e al l agreed tha t UN IDO des erves such a status and that by a ch iev ing i t UNIDO will be better able to serve the needs of developing countr ies in the proces s of industr ial ization, a proces s which my Government bel ieves is ·in the i nterests of all countr ies , developed and developing al i ke .

3. My delegation look s forward t o a fruitful discussion of the items on our agenda . In th is regard, let me say that my delegat ion ascr ibes fully to th e statement made by Mr . Lilholt on behalf of the group of interested Wester n European and other c oun tr ies . I will not r epeat here the points made by him at that time .

4. I do want to take one moment to emphasize the bas ic pos ition of my delegation with respect to these consultations as a whole . We f irmly believe that the Constitution of UN IDO, whi ch was negotiated wi th great difficulty over many year s i s th e f undamen tal and g uiding docmnent for a new UN IDO . Noth ing we do here c an or should subtrac t from the powers of the Dir ector-General and the organs of the new UNIDO to pr opose and determine the new organi zation ' s progr ammes , pr ior it ies , courses of act ion , struct ur e and personnel as se t for th in the Constitution. What we c an and should do her e is to take those s teps which, as th e Chairman of th e Group of 7 7 stated yesterday , will avoid disruption of the organization ' s activitie s and assure continuity and a smooth tr ansit ion i n th e per iod befor e the new UN IDO au thor ities have fully assumed the ir functions. To thi s end we have been pa rticipating i n i nformal consultat ions over th e las t f ew mon ths . we will par tic ipate fully in the consultations in good fai th and wi th the pol itical wil l which the d istinguished representative of I ndia said yes terday was necessary for the succes s of these more formal consultations. I would echo the statement made e yes terday to the e ffect that our successful ach ievement of consensus at the

/ . . .


seventeenth session of the Industr ial Developmen t Board last week should be of mater ial assistance to our doing so again at th is meeting. We ourselves will wor k hard to that end j ust as we did last week .

SPAIN

1. Mr . Cha irman, i n the light of the Cha irman ' s wor k during the mee tings of the I ndustr ial Development Board, on wh ich we should l i ke to congr atulate him , we have every reason to hope that the results will be equally good at these meetings .

2 . As we have been urged to take up as little time as possible i n our interventions, I shall endeavour to be brief . Ideally, the brevity of my comme nts should add to their i ncisiveness , their c lar ity and their cogency , wi thout, I hope , obsc uring or disguising the salient poi nts of my thinking . Thi s thinking reflec ts the i ns tr uctions of my Government, which , as you all . know, r atified the UN IDO Constitution a year and a half ago .

3. Fellow delegates , we are i n full agreement with · the content o f the s tatement of the group of interested We ster n European and other countr ies , par ticularly wi th r egard to th e following points a

( a ) There should be a zero-growth budget, except in th e c ase of savings or transfer s to o ther sector s ,

(b) The reason for the delay in the conver sion of UNIDO to its new form can be found i n the fa ilure of the major con tr ibuting nations to ratify the Constitut ion , that i s, a lack o f the political will to face up to a budget wh ich , i n fac t , we , the coun tr ies , are already paying , since what i s involved will be no more than a tr ansfer o f funds from the regular budget of th e Un ited Nat ions Secretar iat to the regular budget of the new UN IDOJ

(c) We also believe that the present s tr ucture of the UN IDO secretar iat at i ts higher levels is adequate and that there is no need for any new posts , since the only j ustif ication for such new pos ts would be the assumption of new areas of respons ibility . The proposals to increase the number of posts are both un�onomical and unnecessary. The argumen t of geogr aph ical i nequities i s one that might be invoked by all the regions and al l the groups of countries - and , what is more , in d irect propor tion to th eir contr i butions ,

(d) There must be no d isruptions with in UNIDO dur ing the conver sion process , but ne i ther should the door be closed to those transformations in the organizational s tr ucture wh ich we regard as necessary in the l ight of th e secretar iat ' s present structur e,

(e) We should s teer clear in these d iscussions of · any subjects wh ich r isk turni ng them i nto an open forum for declarations of war or peace . We are all in favour of peace , but by d int of repeating i t so many t imes we may g ive the impression that we do no t really mean i tJ

f eatures . once our countr ies have r eached the political decision at the h ighes t level o f conuaitment to promote the develq>ment o f the th ird world countr ies th rough the organs and instr umentality of UNIDO i tself, that i s our posi tion J

(g ) Fbr tha t reason , we approve of a reali stic approach for the emerg ing UNIDO as a specialized agency which , w ithout k illing the new-born creature i n i ts cradle , will make i t possible to move forward wi th the present structur e while awaiting a more propitious time . What we unders tand by the constant talk of adequate resources i s tha t the r esources now available must and can be reorganized to f it th e new budget , which will have to be d iscussed at the f irst Gener al Conference of the new UN mo,

(h) We should l ike to see th ese consultat ions a fford a ll the coun tr ies an q>portunity to follow , step by step , the drafting of the documents whi ch contain th e conclusions that will ultimately have to be adopted . We do not agr ee with restricting the par ticipation of interested countr ies to wor king groups more or less l imited i n s i ze by considerat ions of space or for some other r eason , since we believe that the discussions of the conclus ions must be freely a ired .

4 . Fe llow delegates, these formal consultations on the transformation or conversion of UN IUO into a spec ialized agency have , in our q>inion , been called somewhat too ear ly. I n our view , these talks are prematur e and do not a fford the minimum condi tions necessary to ensure the results that might be expected and that we should a ll look f or from an internat ional meeting at th is level . I n multilateral discussions w i thin the framewor k of the united Nations, it must be the practice among plenipotentiary r epresen tatives , and in fact it is, that in expressing the views of the ir own Governments these representat ives want to deal with other r epr esentat ives who, in s tating the position of th eir countr ies , can contr ibute to the discuss ions in an equally substant ive manner . In the present case , Mr . Chairman , I fear that th is i s not the si tuation . There are any number o f delegations whi ch have been unable to present proof of the willingness o f the ir Governments to approve th e convers ion o f UNIDO i nto a speciali zed agency . Accordingly , the par ticipation and voices of these delegations must be accepted , as ordered by the General Assembly, but only as an activ ity demonstr ating their i nterest in the conversion of UN IDO. However , the fact that the legislat ive bodies of their c ountr ies have not shown signs of approving the establishment o f the new spec iali zed agency leaves unsatisfied our i nterest to learn of the preferences of these delegat ions regarding essential i ssues in the consultations . On th is point, I was happy to hear the speak er who preceded me r eport on the specific views of the Foreign Relat ions Commi ttee of the United S tates Senate .

5. We have no choice , but to imag ine that the possible agreements in pr inciple that may a r ise for consideration under the agenda i tems of these consulations are going to remain j ust tha t - agreements in princ iple , semi -frozen, as it were , in th e deep -freeze o f the multilateral will o f these meetings , and destined to r emain there until such time as the heat of the general ratifications of the UN IDO Constitution thaws these pr inciples , so that the coun tries can again take up the discuss ion of the ir validity and acceptance. It i s in thi s sp ir it of divining that will that th e Spanish delegation i ntends to contr ibute to the drafting o f the work be fore us, whi ch, as i ts name indicates, deals wi th a conversion and therefore implies a new organi zation .

I . . .

SWI TZERLAND


1 . Mr . Chairman , my delegation f ully endorses th e s tatement by th e group of i nterested Western European nad o ther coun tr ie s , particularly as regards the need for the new organi zation to have a f inancial base enabling i t to carry out i ts mandate . I should none the less l ike to add the following .

2 . As ear ly as 10 Fe br uary 1981, Swi tzer land r at i f ied the Constitution o f the United Nations Industr ial Development Organization . We did so as quickly as our constitutional procedure permitted . We are conv inced that the Cons titut ion will provide the i nternational community wi th a well s truct ured , more efficient and better managed organi zat ion , wh ich will make i t possible to serve the cause of

· i ndustr ialization i n the developing countr ies . In fact , the recent sess ion of the Industr ial Development Board has once more demonstrated that the Board i s not in a posi tion , as things now stand , to g ive as much impetus as could be wished , i n time , to th e budget and th e progr amme o f th e organi zation .

3. Because we attach very great value to the quality of the management of our organi zation and i ts e ff iciency , we deplore the sometimes i nexplicable delays which have hi therto permitted a number of countr ies to defer ratification. In same cases , i t i s tr ue , the consti tutional procedure does take t ime , but i n others , th is argument can only be noted . In our opinion , use of ratification of the Constitution a s a negot iating - or even a bargaini ng - counter could hardly be j ustif ied since , i n accordanc e wi th i nternational practice , such bargaining should come to an end with th e s ignature of the Cons titution .

4. As far a s swi tzerland i s concerned , the Constitution could have entered i nto force today or even yesterday.

FEDERAL RE PUBLIC OF GERMANY

1. Mr . Chairman , in my very br ief i ntervention I will restr ict myself on commenting on three poi nts of maj or importance to my delegation .

2 . Firstly, I would l ike to fully endorse the s tatement made yes terday by the cha irman of our group . What he said in regard to the various items of the agenda of our consultations is in line with our own th ink ing .

3. My second remar k refers to the character of these· consultations . The speaker s of the var ious groups yes terday under lined the determination of their members to conver t the exi sting UN IDO i nto an effect ive specialized agency for fur thering the process o f i ndustr iali zat ion i n the developing countr ies as laid down i n artic le 2 of the new Constitution . In the view of my delegation· thi s impl ie s that d ur ing these c onsultations we should by all means r efrain from prejudicing deliberations and decisions to be taken by the organs of the new independent UN IDO whi ch otherwise thus would j us t undermine the new Cons ti tution . It is in th is light that my delegation i s prepared to contr ibute actively to a successful outcome of thi s conference , and that we wish to commend Ambassador Umar for cha ir ing so ably the pre-consultations.

I . . .


5 . Fi nally , let me t urn to my th ird point. The new UNIDO c an only be a happy baby , to repeat the phrase used by Ambassador Singh yesterday , if everybody love s i t. Loving means in th is case g iv ing adequate political and f inancial suppor t . In other words , my delegation ta kes the view the new organization should remain fully i ntact and wor k on a universal basis with all indispensable par tners on board . In fact, the obj ec tive of the transformation of UN IDO into a spec iali zed agency should be to s tr engthen th e organi zat ion and i ts inpor tant role i n th e f ield of i Odustr ial ization of developing coun tr ies and not to weaken it. For thi s reason my Government has been hold ing the v iew for years now that the f inancial base o f th e new UN IDO should be comparable to that of the ex isting one . This i s the main pr oblem we are s till facing i n my delegation i n r egard to ratif icat ion . We therefore pledge our readiness to par ticipate in the transformation of UN IDO a s soon a s th e organi zat ion i s assured of such a f inancial base .

UNITED K INGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAN D

1 . Mr . Cha irman , my delegation fully endor ses the s tatement made yes terday by the r epresentative of Denmar k on behalf of the group of interested We ster n European and other c ountr ies . For my own par t , I am conscious that the ma in purpose o f th is week is to consult and not mak e speeches. I therefore propose to make only a very b r ief s tatement.

2. Fir s t a nd foremost, I s hould li ke to reaff irm that my Government r emains A committed to the transformation of UN IDO i nto a spec ial i zed agency. We partic ipated .., fully , and I hope constr uctively, in d iscussions which led to drawing up the new

. Constitution , and signed it i n October 197 9 wi th the full intention of ratifyi ng and joining th e new organi zat ion i n due course . That remains our posi tion . But l ike o ther s represented here we want to be sure that we are setting up the new or gani zation on a v iable f inancial basis that is comparable to that in the ex isting organization and thi s means having all , or very nearly all , member States on board a t the out set.

3. We acknowledge the d iffic ult ies of holding these consultat ions at a s tage at which States whi ch have already ratif ied represent less than A O per cent of the budget o f the new UNIDO , but I do not believe that we should exaggerate th e difficulty . We remain optimi stic that the corning week of consultations can be pr oduc tive because , i n our v iew , we sha re two common purposes . The f irst i s to bring the new organization i nto being on a sound financ ial basi s as soon as possible . No one who par ticipated i n las t week ' s exerc ise at th e I ndus tr ial Development Board to examine the programme budget can fail to have been convinced o f the inpor tance o f tr ansferr ing full responsibility for th is to UNIDO as soon as we can. The second common purpose is to effec t the transformation as smoo thly and easily as possible . This · rneans that we shall need in the course of our consultations thi s week to look for ways of ensur ing continuity in the programme of work of UNIDO until the new Progr amme and Budget CoJIIRi ttee , th e Board and th e General Conference have been set up and are in a pos ition to take over the wor k a ssigned to them under the Cons titut ion . While recogni zing th e inpor tance of continuity , however , my delegation f irmly believes that we should not be trying th is wee k to take decis ions wh ich pre-enpt th e decision-making powers of the new

body1 w e should , instead , be focusing on the relat ively small number of issue s on which dec isions are e ssential before a date of entry i nto f orce can be f ix ed . If we do so , we are conf ident that it should i ndeed be possible to reach agreement th is week , so that we a r e i n a posi tion to move to th e th ird and f inal s tage o f conversion as soon as a l l memb er States are ready to g o a head .

BAN GLADES H

1. Mr . Cha irman , I would f ir s t l ike to congratulate you and the other member s of th e Bureau on your election to the r espective o ffices of th is inportant meeting . We wholeheartedly share the hope of the previous spea kers that under your able g u idance we shall f ully a ch ieve th e o bjectives o f Ge neral As sembly r esolut ion 3 7/ 2 13 relating to the early convers ion of UNIDO into a special ized agency .

2 . The Government o f Ba ngladesh a t taches h igh pr ior ity to the acceler ation of the proces s of i ndustr ial i zation and expec ts that the new UN LDO wil l substantially enlarge i ts a ssistance to th is coun try in ach iev ing the target of growth o f manufacturing outputs t o a n overall annual rate o f a t least 9 per cent as was i nternat ionally agr eed to i n th e Substantial New Progr amme o f Ac tion for th e 1980s for the Ieast Developed Countr ies adc.pted at the United Nations Conference on the Le ast Developed Coun tr ies i n 1981. We f irmly believe that UN IDO would be far better placed to fulf il i ts mandate in attaining the targets se t in the Lima Declarat ion and Plan o f Ac tion and in playing a k ey role i n th e establ ishment of the new i nternat ional economic ord er if i t had the operational independence and organi zat ion as provided for i n the Cons titution o f UN IUO adopted i n 1979 by th e United Nat ions Conferenc e on the Establ i shment of the Uni ted Nations Industr ial Development Organi zation as ·a S pec ialized Ag ency . Bangladesh c on tinues to suppor t the early entry into force of thi s Constitution but i t also subscr ibes to the view that th e new UNIUO must have th e necessary g lobal s uppor t and adequate r esource base and for that matter would be prepared to wai t for the completion of proced ure of for mal ities of oth er member S tates in r atifying the Cons ti tut ion . We , h owever , sincerely hope that they will make the ir best ef for ts for early ratif ication of the Cons titution to wh ich th ey have already g iven total suppor t.

3. The Government of Bangladesh strongly suppor ts the view that the conver sion of UNIDO i nto a spec iali zed a gency should not in any way d isrupt th e ongoing progr ammes of the organi zation during and immed iately aft er the transition per iod. We pa rticularly want to s tress that th e prese n t and predicted progr ammes o f UN IDO i n respec t o f i ndustr ialization o f th e least developed countr ies through spec ia l measures should not only be protected but e nlarged for f ull , adequate and immediate implementation of paragraphs 4 7 and 4 8 of the Substantial New Programme of Action .

4 . In respect o f th e f inancial matter s , Bangladesh is of the v iew that i t i s absolutely essential t o enlarge the resource base of UN IDO t o fulf i l its mandate and obligat ions i n terms of ar tic les 1 and 2 o f the Cons titut ion . In th is connection , we would l ike to appeal to the i nternat iona l community to ap prec iate th e need f or i ncreased c on tr ibut ions to UN IDO to meet th e pressing need for acceleration in the proc es s of i ndustr ialization of developing countries in general , and of th e least dev eloped countr ies in pa rtic ular , i n br inging about th e

I . . .


s tr uctural transformation o f their economies . The whole purpose o f cooversion o f UN IDO into a specialized agency will be defeated i f the resource base of thi s organi zation i s not signif ican tly enlarg ed .

s. on the issue o f structure and staffing o f the new organization, Banglades h i s of the v iew that th e 's tr uctur e o f the new UN IDO should be determined by the objectives , functions and organs a s defined in articles 1 , 2 and 7 · of the Constitution . The secr etar iat o f the organi zat ion should be as set for th i n article 1 1 o f the Constitution . The au thor ity and respons ibilities o f the Director-Ge neral and members o f th e secretar iat should also be as set for th in the Constitution i tself . Manning of different posts should be based on the actual need o f the organi zation and e ff ic iency and competence of the persons and equitable geographical dis tr ibution . In thi s connection , we have to mention here specially that i ntimate k nowledge o f the problems of the developing countr ies should be an important cr iter ia in the selection of personnel in order to fulf il the mandate g iven to UN IDO by th e Lima Declaration and Plan o f Action . As regards the

·

trans itional ar rangements , Bangladesh s trongly suppor ts the view that these should be g uided by th e Constitution i tself and by Ge neral Assembly r esolutions 3 4/ 96 and 37/ 2 13. In order that UN IDO can continue to function smoo thly , we strongly r ecommend that a wor k ing capital f und be es tablished a t an ear ly date .

6 . Before concluding , I would l ike to voice our si nc ere hope again tha± we shall soon be able to see UN IDO f unctioning as a spec iali zed agency on a sound and v iable footing .

I'.L'ALY

1 . Mr . Cha irman , I f irst wish to congratulate you and all the member s of the Bureau for your election.

� . The I t al ian delegat ion e ntir.ely shares the r emarks made yesterday by the di stinguished delegate of Denmar k on behalf of the group of the i nterested Western European and other countr ies .

3 . As you k now, my country has not yet r atified the new Constitution o f UN IDO . TWo series of reasons stand a t the basis of such a situation .

4 . The f irst and basic one i s s tr ictly related to the coostitut ional procedur e established by the Italian laws for ratification of i nternational acts. As a matter o f fact, the long and complicated procedure foreseen for all acts of ratification was near ing completion when, as you will be aware , the Italian political s ituat ion changed, preventing any f ur ther development.

s. The whole matter will therefore be reconsidered by the next Parliament , eve n though , presumably, no substantial change will i ntervene to modify the I t alian attitude whi ch has been traditionally open and advanced towards bo th the overal l UNIDO activ ity and th e question o f tr ansformation of the organi zation i nto an efficient and properly or iented i nternational agency. What is certain , is that the pr esent moment does not appear to be the most suitable to formulate an hypothesis as to the date- of i ntervention of the Italian rat ification.

I . . .


6. I wish also to ref er , wi th the occas ion , to the necessity to ensure the con tinuation o f th e pr esent trend o f UNIDO activities . The tr ansformation will indeed off er a un ique opportunity to correct faults and deficiencies of the old UNIDO but , a t the same time , an impor tant element of th e whole process will be the assurance of a substantial continuity in its activities. We trust the present consultat ions will g ive concrete indications to th is regard , in a spir it of mutual under standing suitable to create the cond i tions for the bir th of an organization able to develop th e concrete , e ffective and well balanced activ ity that we all expec t from it .

FRANCE

1. Mr . Cha irman , from the outset of the process of the conversion of UN IDO, Fr ance has endorsed what i t looks upon as i nstitutional and operat ional progress in the Utited Nations system as a whole . Thus, my country took an act ive part i n the negotiations which r esulted, on 8 Apr il 1979, in the adoption of the new Constitution of UNIDO .

2 . France s igned the convention a t the same time as . its par tners in the European Community , at Vienna , on 5 OCtober 197 9. Our ratification was notif ied to the Secr etary-General of the United Nat ions on 3 0 March 1982 .

3. Those are the tang ible and effective signs whi ch my country has g iven r egarding the conversion of UN IDO , from which i t expects the following :

(a) Greater eff iciencyJ

(b) Better response to the requirements of the developing countr ies J

(c) Better adaptation of the joint industrial development tool , whi ch we consider UNIDO to be .

4 . France has th us shouldered i ts responsibilities by subscr ibing to the i nternationa l commitments requ ired for the conversion of UN IDO . At the present s tage , i t i s prepared to carry on, but i ts effor t, li ke that of many countr ies whi ch have ratif ied the COnstitution, can continue only g iven a sense of solidar ity on the par t of all the coun tr ies belonging to the i nternat ional community, in line wi th the sp ir it whi ch mot ivated the preliminary consultations presided over wi th t alent by Ambassador Umar in the past few weeks .

5. I would recall that the new spec iali zed agency must , in our view, be based on the pr inciple of the universality of all i nternat ional agencies , on a membersh ip of the Industr ial Development Board which should conform to the Constitution and on a f inancial basis equivalent to the present body which is subsidiary to the Ge neral Assembly .

6 . The soc ial change tak ing place i n th ird wor ld countries , which can be described in a nu tshell as a transition from a closed economy to an economy of trade , results i n the crowding of populat ions i nto increasingly over-populated

\ f

/ . . .


c ities, and g ives r i se to social tensions which can be resolved only through the introduction of new activities and the growth in resources whi ch i ndustr ial ization can br ing about .

7 . These f ew words .cover a great deal of i ndiv idual suffer ing by those who are not i ntegrated into the world industr ial economy , as was aptly pointed out by the Chairman o f th e Afr ican Group. When the new speciali zed agency takes e ffect, th is will be a sign of hope for all those who are suffering , for it will be followed we are depending on i t - by concr ete ach ievements made possible by th is new and better organization.

8 . In th is , the i ndustr iali zed countr ies w ill also be helping to cr eate new conditions of prosper ity such that they will promote a joint development whi ch i s i n the common i nter es ts of both the developed and the developing countr ies , for i t is true that it i s not acceptable for the weal th of some to be founded on the pover ty o f others .

9 . Therefor e , i t behooves us to appeal to all the Members of th e Un ited Nations to join the group of countr ies whi ch have ratif ied the Constitution so as to ensure that the very name of the organi zat ion to which we all belong will retain i ts full meaning , so that we can reach real istic and practical conclusions enabling us to launch th e new agency on a concrete , practical and r easonable foundatio�. This object ive , whi ch we should attain d uring thi s meeting , should make it poss ible to win over and to attr act towards the new agency those who s till appear to have qualms in i ts regard.

10 . It i s our hope that the good r esults o f these cons ultations will lead to an increase in the number of ratifica tions and thus bring us as qui ckly as poss ible to th e threshhold of political and f inancial feasibil ity which will enable us to found the new agency on bases whi ch ar e acceptable to all the member s of the i nternat ional communi ty.

CANADA

1 . Mr . Chairman , my delegat ion d id not plan to speak today as we f ully subscr i be t o the statement made yesterday by Mr . Lilholt o n behalf o f the group o f i nterested western European and o�her countr ies . Nonetheless, in th is context, i t is perhaps appropr iate tha t I do so .

2 . Firs tly , we are grateful , Mr . Chairman, that you have once again consented to lead our del iberations. we · have every reason for conf idence that under your wise g u idance our meeting will be a success . A f ur th er reason for conf idence i s the emphasi s whi ch al l speaker s , bo th yesterday and today , have placed on the goodwil l with which th ey have enter ed th is meeting . For our par t, my delegat ion i s partic ipating in thi s consultation i n good fai th in the hope that the convers ion of UN IDO i nto a spec iali zed agency can proceed at an early date . Canada has signed . the Constitution of UN IDO whi ch of course i s , and should be , recognized as a s tatement o f Canada • s intentions with r espec t to the new UN IDO . We have every expectation that the next step will also be for thcoming at the earliest appropr iate �

I . . .


moment , bu t I am sure tha t all delegations will understand that we cannot prej udge the dec ision to be made by th e Canad ian Cabinet.

3. I bel ieve the goodw ill of my country towards both developmen t in general a nd , more specif ically, indus tr ial development should be clear . Through its volun tary and regular budget contr ibutions to the united Nations system as a whole , my Government has been a pr incipal contr ibutor towards the wor k of UN IDO. La st year , wi th Canada ' s voluntary contr ibutions added to its regular budget con tr ibutions, it r anked a s the sixth largest total contr i butor . The wor k of UNIDO through both the regular budget and the UNDP projects executed by UN IDO received its propor tionate share o f the Canad ian con tr ibut ion .

4 . Du r ing th is week th er e will be ample oppor tunity to assess the goodwi ll wh ich all speakers have proclaimed towards the convers ion of UN IDO . The test will be the degr ee to wh ich th ey forbear from attempting to place special condi tions upon the new organ ization and i ts const ituent bod ie s , the respons ibilities and obligat ion s of wh ich are set out clearly i n th e Cons ti tution . I pledge that my delegation will act on thi s basis.

JAPAN

1 . Mr . Cha irman , it is my pleasure to have an opportun ity to make a statemen t at th is impor tan t gather ing . I believe that ·all of us her e share the same hope that the conversion of UN IDO i nto a specialized agency will greatly con tr ibute to the promotion and a cceler ation of i ndustr ial development in developing coun tr ies . It i s also hoped that max imum efficiency can be ach ieved in the new organization so as to further s tr engthen th e e ffectiveness of its technical assistance to developing coun tr ies. It was wi th these cons iderat ion s that my Government ra tif ied the Constitution o f UNIDO .

2 . This mee ting was called for by a rticle 2 5 of the Consti tut ion as well as by Genera l Assembly resolution 3 7/ 2 13. Paragraph 1 of articl e 25 of the Constitution requested us agree on th e date of entry into force of the Cons titution a fter consultations among ourselves · and to notify the depos itary of the agreement reach ed . Pa ragr aph l ( b ) of resolut ion 3 7/213 requested u s to meet at Vienna for the second stage of consultations to discuss all relevant substantive questions with a view to determini ng the date o f entry i nto force of the Consti tution . My delegation hopes that the discussions to be held during thi s consultation meeting will br ing us a s tep forward th rough a frank exchange of v iews among States · towards the transformation of UN IDO i nto a spec ialized agency .

3 . With regard to the agenda items of th is consultat ion meeting wh ich wer e discussed and agreed upon during the ser ie s of pre-consultation meetings cha ired by Ambassador umar , I should l ike to make th e following comments. With regard to agenda item 3 , programme and financ ia l question s , my delegation shares the views expr essed in th e s tatemen t made by the dis tinguished repr esen tative of Denmark on behalf of like�i nded countr ies. My delegation believes tha t thi s consultative meeting should not prejudge or pr e-empt th e decisions which should be taken by th e policy�king organs of the new UN IOO . As for the trans itiona l per iod , we shall

I. • .

A/38/141 Engl ish Page 5 0

fully take into account the b iennial progranune and budget for 1984- 1985 o f UN D>O whi ch was discussed in d ep th at the seventeenth sess ion of the Indus tr ial Developmen t Board . Fur thermor e , my delegat ion considers i t inpor tant for us to bear i n mind the preva iling economic situation and financ ia l burden from whi ch al l nat ions are suffer ing. It i s ther efore not my delegat ion ' s opinion that the new UN IDO should expec t an upward change in the level of resources compared to the resources available to the existing organi zation. Rega rding the s tr uctur e and staffing questions, my delegation fully endorse s what has been said by the repr esentative o f De roaark . My delegation th inks that i t i s not proper to s tart considering the change in the Secretar iat at thi s early stage of the transformat ion of UN IDO undermini ng the d i scussions and deci sions , if any, on i ssues to be taken -by the policy-making organs of the new UN IDO .

4 . As to th e agenda for the f irst General Confer ence , my delegat ion s uppor ts the agenda as agreed upon dur ing the pre-consultation mee tings including the wording " Ge neral policy g uidelines of the Un ited Nations Industr ial Development Fund" . Wi th regard to the common and joint services in the Vienna Internat ional Centre , my delegat ion believes that th e pr inciples of cos t-e ffect iveness and self-suff ic iency should be obs erved. My delegat ion fur ther consider s it important to observe the pr inciple o f no increase in proj ects and personne l r egardless of th e tr ansformat ion of UN IDO i nto a specialized agency. To serve these pr inc iple s wi thou t a loss of e ff iciency , it has been useful to uni fy some common services under one author ity.

s. We are all aware that the countr ies whi ch have already ratif ied the Constitut ion do not compose a s ignif icant part of the f inancial basis of the new � UN IDO . We should always keep in mind that the Constitution should enter i nto force only when a sound f inancial basis i s assured . At the same time , suff icien t participation of States should also be necessary to make the new organizat ion v iable . My delegation sincerely hopes that these requirements will be fulfilled in the near future and that the new UN D>O will come into ex istence wi th effect ivenes s .

AUSTRIA

1. Mr . Cha irman, let me state at the very outset tha t the Aus tr ian Government attaches c onsiderable inpor tance to th is meeting on the conver sion of th e Un ited Nations Industr ia l Develq>ment Organization into a spec ialized agency. Fully aware o f the hopes and aspir ations placed by the developing countr ies on UN IDO and convinced of its mission and role as an effect ive instrument of co-operation in the f ield o f industr ialization , Austr ia , a s the host country to UN IDO , would l i ke to see thi s organization acqu ir e the status of one of the major spec iali zed agenc ie s with in the Un ited Nat ions family i n the near f utur e , and wi thout fur ther delays .

2. It therefore goes wi thout saying tha t Austria has ratif ied the Constitut ion of th e new UN IDO and that the Austr ian Government pledges its con tinued suppor t to thi s end .

3 . I n order t o ensure a smooth tr ansition and i n order not t o d isrupt th e ac t ivities of the new UN IDO for lack of financial resources, we share the pr eoccupat ions expressed by so many delegat ions that the entry into force of th e

/ . . .


Constitution must be timed in . such a way as to guarantee i ts succes s. In thi s c onnection we associate ourselves with th e s tatement del iver ed on behalf of the group of i nterested We ster n Europea n and other countries. In view of the present economic si tuation we also subscr ibe to the necessity of utmos t e ff iciency in the use of available financ ial resources . But we are likewise convi nced - as pointed out by prev ious speakers from developing countr ies - that e ff iciency also requires the allocation of adequate resource s for the implementation of the mandate entr us ted to UNIDO.

4 . I t will be eas ily unders tood that Au str ia takes a special interest in questions regarding the Vienna International Cen tre and " i ts relations to the international organi zat ions and offices es tablished there. I should also like to s tress the pr ide we take in

. being the host to the International Atomic Energy Agency , the thited

Na tions and UN IDO and that Vienna has become - as the Secretary-General of the United Nations stated only last week in a repor t to the Economic and Social Council - one of the th ree headquarters cities of th e Un ited Nations . We are happy that UN IDO will become independent and

. that Vienna will then be the seat of two of

the most inportant speciali zed agencies a s well as one of th e headqua rters of the United Nations .

s . Mr . Chairman , allow me , therefor e , to turn to i tem 6 o f our agenda concerning the effect of UN IOO • s assull\)tion of spec ial ized agency status on the exi sting c amnon serv ices at the Vienna Internat ional Centr e and on the relat ions of UNIDO wi th the host colin try .

·

6 . As you are awar e, UN IDO has i ts headquarters with in th e Vienna I nternat ional Cen tre whi ch also serves as headquarters of o ther thited Nations offices and of the I nternat ional Atomic Energy Agency. This si tuation as well as cons ider at ions of a practical and a cost-efficient nature have quite naturally led to the establishment o f cormnon services , which in the opinion of my delegat ion are h ighly canmendable wher ever prac tical and feasible . As a consequence of the transformation of UN IDO i nto a speciali zed agency, the var ious arrangements r egarding these conmon services will have to be adapted to a changed situation . It will of course be up to the organizations concerned to find and pr opose the best possible solut ion , bear ing in mind the most effic ient and effect ive manner of providing common service s . Per haps , a s th e outcome of these discussions will have , d irectly or indirectly, a bearing on the various agreements related to UN EDO and the Vienna Internationa l Centr e , th ese questions should be tackled as ear ly as possible.

7. Wi th regard to the relations of UNIDO wi th the host country and in particular i ts headquarters agreement, article 2 0 , par agr aph 1, of the Cons titut ion of UNIDO state s tha t the sea t of UN IDO shall be Vienna � Paragraph 2 of that same article pr ov ides for the conclusion by the organi zat ion of a headquar ters agr eement with the hos t Governme nt . The ex i sting Agreement of 13 Apr il 196 7 regarding the headquarters of UN IDO was concluded between the Republic of Au str ia and the Un ited Nations , UN IOO being a subsid iary organ of the General Assembly. Thye same pr ocedure was fol lowed with r espect to the agreements relating to th e Vienna International Centre .

I . . .


8 . New headquarters agr eements will thus have to b e negotiated between UNIDO and the Austrian Government and betwee n the united Nations and the Aus tr ian Government . Th is will also enta il a r ev ision of the supplemental agreements based on th e present Headquarter s Agr eement . In the view of the Austr ian Government , the convers ion of UN IDO i nto a speciali zed agency shall be wi thout pr ej udice to th e pr iv ileges and immuni ties granted by the present Headquarter s Agreeme nts and related supplementa l agr eements . Consequently , the new headquar ters agreement to be concluded between UNIDO and the Aus tr ian Government will guarantee the same pr ivileges and immun ities a s prov ided for in the ex is ting agreements .

9. Fur thermore , as I have already mentioned , the present Agreements relating to the Vienna Internat ional Centr e will have to be revised and we are c onv inced that it will be poss ible to conclud e these new agreeme nts ta king i nto accoun t the r equ irements of both the Un ited Na tions and UNIDO . Fi nally, i t will be necessary to review the trilateral Agreeme nts betwee n the Republic of Austr ia , the united Na tions and the Internat ional Atomic Energy Agency in order to include UN IDO as a new partner .

10 . In v iew of the complex ity o f th ese ques tions, i t would seem to be of great advantage to prepare drafts for the new headquarters agreement as well as related and other arrangements as soon as pos sible .

11. Early discuss ions and negotiations on thi s subject , including the def inition o f the headquarters of UN IDO , seem all the more inpor tan t as the new headquar ters agreement and pertaining ar rangements will have to be fitted wi thin the framewor k o f the exis ting Agr eements , in par ticular those to wh ich the Republic of Au str ia and the United Nations are a party.

Executive Assistant to the Secretary-General

Carl-August Fleiscbhauer <:'__,c. . A:j "' �".1,.1.. = ""\ The Legal Coun•el 7 � Your up-coming visit to Vienna/Financing of the UNCITRAL Law Library

With a view to your up-coming visit to Vienna , I would like to inform you about problems which have arisen with respect to the financial contribution of Austria to the upkeeping of the UNCITRAL Law Library in Vienna ; I would also like to suggest that YQU mention theae ditticulties in yOur talks with the Austrian Government without however soins into any details .

A. The factual background. In connection with the transfer of the Trade Law Branch of this Office from New York to Vienna in 1979 the question arose whether , Vienna not being an international commercial centre , the resources required in order to perform the work of the Trade Law Branch and the UNCITRAL servic ed by it were or were not available in Vienna. Among the factors considered in this respect was the necessity of adequate library facilities .

In August 1977 the Secretary of UNCITRAL , who is ex officio the Secretary of UNCITRAL , submitted to the Under-Secretary-General for Administration and Management , a report on the library resources available in Vienna . In this report the Secretariat concluded on the basis ot surveys carried out in Vienna and discussions with Austrian professors and lawyers familiar with the work ot UNCITRAL , that the library holdings in Vienna were inadequate for the purposes of UNCITRAL and the �ade Law Branch. The Secretary concluded that it the Secretariat of UNCITRAL was to be transferred to Vienna it would require its own library on the premises .

At its e1eventh session in 1978 UNCITRAL considered the . impact of the proposed transfer of the Secretariat to Vienna . In this connection UNCITRAL expressed its conviction that since the work ot the Trade Law Branch was essential for its own work , the Trade Law Branch should be provided with such research facilities as would enable it to perform its task. That report of the Commission was considered by the Sixth Committee of the General Assembly during the thirty-third session in tae Fall of 1978 . Many representatives considered that it was essential that the Trade Law Branch as Secretariat of UNCITRAL have at its disposal an adequate law library in Vienna as of the time of its transfer .

In this regard the representative of Austria announced that in recognition of the importance of the work of UNCITRAL and in order to facilitate that work in its new location , the ·Government ot Austria would acquire the necessary literature according to the specifications of the Trade Law Branch and place that material at the disposal of the Trade Law Branch as Secretariat of UNCITRAL at the eJC_Pc;;nse of the Government of Austria up to an amount of $150,000, This Austrian

-commitment was essential for the decision which led to the transfer of the Trade Law Branch .

Austria has since paid between $80-90 , 000 for books which were acquired according to lists presented by the Trade Law Branch . However , the Austrians have stopped payments since 1983; the Austrian authorities are only ready to provide for another $30 , 000 { in two installments , 1984 and 1985 ) ,and that only if the Trade Law Branch states on paper to UNCITRAL that Austria has fUlfilled its commitment . That means , that in order to obtain another payment of $30 , 000 , the United Nations would release Austria trom the commitment of the remaining $30-40 , 000 .

B . The legal background . The reasons given by Austria tor not meeting their tull commitment of $150 , 000 do not seem convincing : Austria cannot invoke against the United Nations an alleged default on the Austrian aide {they claim that the Austrian Permanent Mission had not asked authorization from Vienna before making the commitment ) nor can Austria invoke under international law the depreciation ot the Austrian shilling vi th respect to the US dollar , the Austrian commitment having been made not in Austrian shillings , but in US dollars . Finally , Austria could not claim that there is a limitation in time on its commitment .

C . Suggestedr action . While the Director of the Trade Law Branch in Vienna has exhausted all his possibilities to obtain tull p�ent from Austria, Mr . Ruedas , the Controller and I concur that every possible avenue must be explored in order to secure the tull payment ot $150 , 000 by Austria. Otherwise , the Administration would certainly be the obj ect ot strong cri•icism in ACABQ and the Fitth Committee , and possibly also in UNCITRAL and in the Sixth Committee . The possibilities of the Director ot the Trade Law Branch in Vienna being exhaustel, it will be necessary to take the matter up at a higher level either in New York or Vienna. It seems to me that I should speak with the Austrian Ambassador here . I do think , however , that before this is done , �u ShQUld mention tbe diffiCultY in a general in our conversations with the atri Government . Failure to

o so could induce the Austr1ans to bel eve , when the matter is la er taken up with the Austrian representative here , that the United Nations does not take ut very seriously since otherwise you would have mentioned it . It would , however , not be necessary and unwise tor you to go into the details of the financing ot the UNCITRAL Law Library in Vienna .

BRIEFING NOTE FOR THE SECRETARY-GENERAL REGARD ING THE

VIENNA INFORMATION SERVICE

The problem of the resources necessary for a viable UN

Information Servi ce in Vienna has not been c ompletely resolved .

There have been disc ussions among Messrs .· Allaf , Khane ·and

myself on the shape of the Vienna Information Service ; The

Ambassadors of Austr i a and the Federal German Repub lic have

recently conveyed to me their concern over the matter .

In a report of the Secretary-General to the 3 8th session

of the General Assembly (A/C . 5/ 3 8/ 8 7 } the Assembly was informed

that the creation of a separate Information Service in Vienna

would in the first stage require one D- 1 , one P- 5 , one P-4 , two

P- 3s and seven General Service posts , together with appropr iate

operational funds . One P- 4 , one P- 3 and three General Service

posts together with some operational funds have been . redeployed

from resources available to DPI . One P- 5 , one P- 3 and four

General Service posts have been added to the Information Service

from the UNIDO manning table . In financial terms , this means a

redeployment of $ 3 5 2 , 1 0 0 from DPI resources , and $ 39 0 , 3 0 0 from

UNIDO.

The Secretary-General ' s report stated that an additional

sum of $ 7 9 , 0 0 0 in respec t ' of a D-1 post , to be occupied by the

Director of the Informati on Servi ce , would be required . The

Secretary-General is to report to the General Assembly at its

3 9th session as to his endeavours to f ind additional resources

through redeployment .

Unfortunately , we have not been able to identify the D- 1

post within DPI that could be redeployed to meet the needs of

Vienna . I am discussing with Mr . Ruedas as to the possible

request to the Assembly for a new D - 1 post .

I . . .

- 2 -

Fortunately , the question of an encumbered P- 5 post from

UNIDO has recently been resolved due to the resignation of the

incumbent . There is , however , the unresolved question of the

redeployment of General Service. posts from UNIDO now being

utilized for audio-visual services . I intend to discuss all

related questions in Vienna in the c ourse of my visit there on

1 2 - 1 3 Jul y .

ORIGINAL: ENGLISH

PROPOSED PROGRAMME BUDGET FOR THE BIENNIUM 19 84-19 85

COnversion of UNIDO into a spec ialized agency, revised estimates under section section 17, United Nations Industrial Development

Organization and section 28M, Administrat ive Services, Vienna

Repor t of the secretary-General

I . BACKGROUND

A

1 . The present report deals with the effect that the conver sion of the United Nations Indus trial Development Organ izat ion (UNIDO) into a spec ialized agency would have on the arrangements regard ing the services requ ired by the Un ited Nations units in Vienna. A report of the formal meeting on the convers ion of UNIDO into a specialized agency which was convened at Vienna from 16 to 20 May 1983 was transmitted to the General Assembly by the Secretary-General (A/38/141) .

2 . It will be recalled that, at the invitat ion of the Government of Austr ia, the General Assembly , in its resolution 2212 (XXI ) of 17 December 1966, decided to locate the headquarters of UNIDO in Vienna. Shortly thereafter, the Government of Austria init iated the plann ing for a per�nent headquarters ( later called the Vienna Internat ional Centre (VIC} ) to house UNIDO and the Internat ional Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA) , which was also located in Vienna . As the project developed , it became apparent that UNIDO and IAEA would not require all the space in itially envisaged . The Government of Austria therefore invi ted the Uni ted Nations to make use of the addit ional off ice space that would become ava ilable by "transferr ing add itional un its of the Secretariat " (A/9589/Rev . l of 1 october 1974) .

3 . In resolution 3350 (X1IX) of 18 December 19 74, the General Assembly welcomed the invitat ion extended by the Government of Austria to the Un ited Nat ions and requested the Secretary-General to enter into negotiat ions with the Government of Austria and IAEA to that effec t . In resolut ion 31/194 of 22 December 1976, . the

83-3 4620 0918m (E) ; . . .

A/C. S/38/87 English Page 2

General Assembly, having reviewed reports of the Secretary-General on the question , approved a phased plan of action for the transfer of certain additional United Nations units from New York and Geneva to Vienna . These were the Centre for SOc ial Development and Humanitar ian Affairs and the Internat ional Trade Law Branch of the Office of Legal Affa irs (from New Yor k) as well as the Divi sion of Narcotic Drugs, the secretariat of the International Narcotics Control Boa rd , the secretariat of the united Nations Fund for Drug Abuse Control and the Soc ial Affairs Division ( from Geneva) . Wi th the tragsfer of those units to VIC in 1979, a complex of United Nations :ctivi ties in addition to UNIDO was established in Vienna . Furthermore , off ices of the United Nations Relief and Wor ks Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) are currently located in Vienna .

4 . The ag reement between the United Nations and the Federal Government of the Republic of Austria regard ing the Headquarters Seat of the United Nations Industrial Development organi zation and Other Offices of the Uni ted Nations was s igned on 28 September 1979. A subsequent agreement with the same ti tle was signed on 19 January 1981. I t provides, inter alia, that the United Nations shall have the right to use the headquarters area for a period or 9 9 years beg inning on 1 Septernb�r 1979.

5 . In 1978, a Un ited Nations Co-ord ination and Planning Off ice was created in Vienna to serve as the focal point for planning and liaison of all aspects of the move of other Un ited Nations units to Vienna and the development of arrangements for the occupancy and management of VIC. The Office was renamed the "Un ited Nations Of fice at Vienna" (UNOV) in 1980. At that time , it was assigned the responsibility of providing liaison and undertaking co�sultat ions with the host country author i ties on local administrative arrangements and on all matters relating to the Un ited Nations presence in Vienna, excluding , in each case, those concerning UNIDO. In 1982, the Secretary-General appointed a Director-General for UNOV and entrusted him with the responsibilities of representing the Secretary-General in relations with the Austr ian author ities and dealing with those authorities in matters relating to the presence in Austria and the relevant pr ivileges and immunities of all United Nations staff.

I I . CURRENT ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES AT THE VIENNA INTERNATIONAL CENTRE

6 . Plans for the occupancy of VIC by the international organ izations were accompanied by a memorandum of understanding , signed in March 1977 by the Secretary-General, the Director-General of IAEA and the Executive Director of UNIDO, which outlines the principle of allocated respons ibilit ies under which common services in Vienna are ass igned to the organi zations for management and administration on a cost-sharing bas is. Under the agreement , IAEA is responsible for (a) computer services , (b) library services, (c) pr inting and reproduction, (d) commissary and (e) med ical services . UNIDO is responsible for (a) buildings management and operations, (b) cater ing facilities and (c) language training. The United Nations Office at Vienna is responsible for secur i ty and safety.

A/C. 5/38/87 English Page 3

7 . In add it ion to the arr angements covered by the memor andum of under stand ing , the Secretary-General has, upon the transfer of United Nat ions units to VIC, made arrangements within the United Nations for UNIDO to provide a number of services, essentially of an administrative and supporting na ture , to UNOV and the United Nations units. These ser vices cons ist of finance, personne l, public informat ion , conference and general services. In most cases, UNIDO was provided with add it ional resources for the purpose of coping with the addit ional workload resulting from the move of United Nations urtits to Vienna. The strengthening of ex ist ing UNIDO services to meet the needs of the Uni ted Nations units

.was cons idered to be more

effective and efficient than the establi shment of new servicing units at the Uni ted Nations at Vienn� The only a�min istrat ive entity that has been created at UNOV is a core central administrative unit consisting of two Professional and three General Service staff and entr usted with the respons ibil ity for budget administration , c

_ertification, staff ing table control and liaison functions .

I I I . IMPACT OF THE CONVERSION OF UNIDO INTO A SPECIALI ZED AGENCY UPON CURRENT ARRANGEMENTS REGARDING SERVICES IN THE VIENNA INTERNAT IONAL CENTRE AND CHANGES REQUIRED

8 . The expected convers ion of UNIDO into a spec iali zed agency will result in the occupancy of VIC by three organizat ions of the United Nations system, namely , the Un ited Nations , IAEA and UNIDO. This development should not alter the fundamental premise on which common services are based which is that, in view of their nature and the layout of VIC, they cannot be duplicated. However , a review of the memorandum is be ing initiated to determine whether the cur rent distr ibution of respons ibilit ies among the parties concerned needs to be modif ied .

9 . The convers ion of UNIDO into a spec ialized agency wil l, howeve r , have an impact on the ex ist ing arrangements regarding the services required by UNOV and the United Nations units in Vienna and cur rently provided by UNIDO. In the field of public information as well as in the area of personnel, the Secretary-General believes that separate and distinct United Nat ions services would be requ ired , the establishment of which should be in it iated forthwith.

Public informat ion

1 0 . As regards public informat ion , the service , in add ition to providing coverage •

in respect of the ac tivit ies of the substantive United Nat ions units located in Vienna, namely the Centre for Social Development and Humanitar ian Affairs, the Internat ional Trade Law Branch of the Office of Legal Affair s, the Division for Narcotic Drug s , the secretariats of the International Narcotics Control Board and the United Nations Fund for Drug Abuse Control, would also act as information centre for Austria and the Federal Republic of Germany. The service would also be responsible for the Vis itor s ' Service in Vienna.

11. The creat ion of such � service would , in the first stage , requ ire one D-1, one P-5, one P-4 , two P-3 and seven General Service posts together with operat ional funds. One P-5 , one P-3 and four Gene ral Service posts which had been added to the UNIDO Informat ion Service for the purpose of meeting the informat ion requirements

; . . .

A/C . 5/38/8 7 Eng l i sh Page 4

of the Un ited Nations units in Vienna would be redeployed to the service , and one P-4 , one P-3 and th ree General Service post s , together wi th operat ional funds, would be redeployed from resou rces ava i lable to the Department of Publ ic I nforma t ion. The total costs of the service, for which the Sec r eta ry-Gene ral intends to c reate a new subsect ion under sect ion 2 7 of the proposed prog r amme budget for the bienni um 1984-19 8 5 wou ld amount to $ 8 21 , 4 0 0 , broken down as follows :

Total a n 4 0 0 3 9 0 300 3 5 2 1 0 0 79 0 0 0

1 2 . As ind icated above , the est imated add i tional resources that would be necessary for the establishment of the service in 1 9 8 4 would be $ 79 , 00 0 in respect of a D-1 pos t . However , the �ssibi l i ty of provi ding these resources through redeployments will be revi ewed d u r i ng 198 4 . Con sequently , the Sec retary-Gene ral would report to the Gener a l Assembly at its th i r ty-ni nth sess ion on th i s issue and on any further developments in th is rega rd. No add i t ional appropr iat ions for this purpose a r e , the refore , requested at th i s stage .

1 3 . As regard the aud io-v i s ual fac i l i t i e s at VI C, the Secretary-Gene r al be l ieves that they need not be dupl icated and it would be h i s intent ion to enter into cons ul tat ions w i th UNIDO to determine moda l i ties for the use of the ex ist ing fac i l i t ies in a manner that wou ld me et the needs of both UNIDO and the Un ited Nat ions .

Personnel ser vices

1 4 . In respec t of per sonnel services , fol lowing the t r ansfer of Un i ted Nations units in Vienna , e ight posts ( two P-3 and s ix General Service) were establi shed

under sec t ion 28M of the programme budget and ass igned to UNIDO to st rengthen its Personnel Service in ord er to provide the necessary ser vices to those units . It would be the intent ion of the Sec retary-General to reassign these posts , with the

exception of one General Service post devoted to language training , a ser vice that UNIDO und e rtakes on behalf of all occupants of VIC , to the Admi nistrat ive Se rvic e , UNOV , and en trust UNOV w i th the responsibility f o r the provi s ion o f personnel services to the Un ited Nations un its in Vienna. The nucleus of a Personnel Service , UNOV would thus be c reated . As in the case of publ ic informa t ion, fur ther

deve lopments in th is reg a rd will be reviewed dur ing 1 9 8 4 and , if necessary, repor ted on to the General Assembly at i ts thi rty-ninth sess ion .

; . . .

COnference services

A/C . 5/38/87 Engl ish Page 5

1 5 . As regard conference services, i t .is the intent ion to change, i n due course, the present arrangement whereby UNIDO provides conference services to the Un ited Nations un its in Vienna, by entrust ing to UNOV the responsibil ity for such services . At the same time, the Secretary-General believes that separate meetings planning and servic ing by UNIDO and UNOV might result in dupl icat ion on the one hand and competit ion on the other , both for available meeting rooms and the limited number of free-lance staff. The Secretary-Gene ral believes that the most practicable arra�ement would �e for the establ ishment of a joint co-ordinat ing mechanism to determine the allocation and use of conference rooms and pool meetings-servicing requirements. I t would be the Secretary-General ' s intent ion to enter into consultat ions with UNIDO with a view to determin ing to what extent such � mechanism could be established and to subsequently report to the General Assembly on the outcome of such consultat ions.

General services

16 . In respect of general services , the current arrangements whereby UNIDO provides such ser vices to UNOV would cont inue for the time being , pend ing the complet ion of the review of the memorandum of understanding . Such modificat ions as may be requ ired would depend on the review of the current distribut ion of respons ibilities outlined in the memorandum of understanding .

Finance

1 7 . As in the case of general services, it would be the Secretary-General ' s intention to rely on the capacity of UNIDO to provide such services to UNOV on a re imbursable bas is. The Administrative Service , UNOV has and will cont inue to have responsibi lity for budget administration, cert ification, staff ing table control and liaison functions in respect of the United Nations un its. The four General Service posts that have been established under sect ion 28M of the prog ramme budget to supplement the staff of UNIDO in the financ ial area at the time of the move of United Nations units to VIC would be transferred to the new UNIDO.

IV. CONCLUS ION

18. The impact of the conversion of UNIDO into a speciali zed agency on the services that UNIDO cur rently provides to UNOV and the United Nations units located in Vienna, as well as the changes that would be requ ired , have been descr ibed in the preced ing paragraphs . Further arrangements would be subject to consultations between the United Nations and UNIDO. It is the intent ion of the Secretary-General to report further on these issues at the thirty-n inth sess ion of the General Assembly .

1 9 . As regards the creation of the United Nations Information Service , an addit ional appropriation of $390 , 3 00 is requested under section 27 of the proposed programme budget for the biennium 1984-1 985 which would be offset by a reduction in the same amount under section 1 7 , as follows :

GOVERNMENT OF AUSTRIA

The Government which was elected in April 1 9 8 3 for four years is a coalition of the Socialist and Liberal (rightist) parties which are led by Chancellor Sinowatz and Vice-Chancellor Steger, respectively. While it enjoys a comfortable working ma jority, there have been tensions within the Cabinet of late , arising from what many observers see as basic ideological differences between the governing parties. The Conservative opposition has made notable electoral gains in recent months at the provincial level - particularly in Salzburg.

There will be a Presidential election at the end of 1 9 8 5 and i t is expected that former Secretary-General Waldheim will be a candidate. There has been speculation, however, that former Chancellor Kreisky will also seek election.

A list of the Cabinet members is attached.

RUDOLF KIRCHSCHLAGER : PEACE BEGINS AT HOME

0 n the occasion of the silver jubilee of the State Treaty, Austria's first citizen, Federal

President Dr. Rudolf Kirchschliiger, has published a book w hose title is at once a factual observation, a personal testim ony, and a political programme. It is called "Der Frieden beginnt im eigenen Haus" - peace beg ins i n one's own home (publisher Molden, Wien, 1 980).

In the first part of the boo k, the former diplomat and Foreign Min ister Kirchsch lager form ulates his thoughts on this theme. "R eflections from recent times" is what he calls them in the foreword, but as one reads further it soon becomes clear that these reflections are anything but sudden ideas, that they are rooted deeply in the author's character.

The second part is a mosaic of extracts from the many speeches wh ich KirchschHiger has delivered on the most diverse of occasions, and which prove that, for him, peace is the co mmon factor in any positive development, not only in the political sphere.

In defin ing what constitutes one's own home, h6-interprets the expression with a corresponding breadth, and according to the area for which the indiv idual is responsible. "Those people who are responsible only for the ir families, their places of employ ment, and the commun ities in which they live, and for keepi ng the peace therein, are almost to be described as fortunate. Much less to be envied are those who carry the burden of keeping the peace in states, and among peoples, religious de nom inations, and large international organizations."

A lthough he is primarily preoccupied with peace among men, Kirchschliiger is also aware that . a preco ndition for it is the peace wh ich every i nd ividual must find in himself: "To be peaceable, to spread the conviction by example that peace is possible, to combine steadfastness of

pri nciple with respect for those of other opin ions, and consistently to attempt to serve the cause of justice -all this means educating for peace."

The peace for w hich Kirchsch lager makes his plea is not the peace of inaction, the peace of the satiated, but a dy namic condition, and as such rather a principle for action wi th in the narro west and widest ranges. "We are", he quotes the philosopher Karl Popper, "contrary to what i"s often claimed, capable of learning anew from experience and therefore from history. " As soon as he goes onto broader ground than that of the fam ily, the history of Austria - that is, the Republic of Austria since 1 9 1 8 -

becomes the principal theme of the boo k, clearly set out, and assessed w ith a personal comm itment whose earnestness and rectitude shine through

I t is only natural that President Kirchschliiger should be centrally concerned with the independence of Austria as a land that has chosen the path of peace, and he knows well what he is do ing when emphasizes the special characteristics and dy namic

force of Austria's permanent neutrality. For him it is not the gift of the powerful, and still less the price which had to be paid for our regained sovereignty, but the result of a profound moral decision wh ich was made possible only through overcom ing a sorrowful past.

From this develops naturally the affirmation of the principle of an undivided Europe, fro m it spri ngs Austria's co mmitment to the Un ited Nations and Human R ights, but no less corsequential is the duty to defend this neutrality when necessary. It is not merely a comfortable condition wh ich brings a number of advantages ; for K irc hschlager it entails above all else increased responsibilities, a volu ntary restriction of one's freedom of choice, and not infrequently the renouncement of the line of least resistance.

"The transformation of human beings, every one of them", writes Kirc hschliiger, "into bearers of peace, is that change w hich is essential for our survival ." He does not fail to recognize, however, that the conditions under w h ich this trans· formation is likely to take place, and

• the demands placed consequently upon one's mode of action, are likely to vary considerably. It is for this reason that he avoids falling into the trap of complacently offering the Austrian way as an example to be fo llowed under all circumstances.

This is clearly seen in the section in which K irchschliiger · discusses Austria's relations with the rest of Europe, where it is necessary to fi nd a poli<:y which will do justice both to Austria's neutrality and to the principle of European integration. " Austria, right fro m the beginning, has never looked towards the original Six and the present Nine with any envy or complex, but rather regarded the integration attempts by this European nucleus with genuine approbation. This is not the approval of member· ship, but of understanding . . . "

Federal Chancellor

Fred Sinowatz was born on 5 February 1 929 into a working

class family at Neufeld an der Leitha , a Burgenland industrial

village forty kilometres south-east of Vienna . On primar,r

schooling followed at tendance at the secondary school at Wiener

Neustadt , then at Baden bei Wi�n where in 1 948 he took his

school-leaving examination . Thereafter he read German language

and literature , history , and j ournalism , compl eting his studies

in 1 953 with a thesis on the period of the Counter-Reformation

in, Burgenland and obt aining hi s doctorate from Vienna University. . : In the same year he ent er ed the Burgenland provincial govern

ment s ervi c e . A ft er acting as s ecretary t o Albin Dostal , a member

o f the government , he was in 1 956 appoint ed to a post wher e until

hi s election to the provincial legislature ( 1 96 1 ) he was mainly

concerned with ma t t ers relating t o rec ent hi story . I n this capacity

he organi zed , among other things , the large-scal e exhibition in

c el ebration o f Burgenland ' s forty years • acc ession t o Austria .

A notable factor in Sinowatz ' s political development is the

variety of his career . In politics it took him , steadily and

systematically , from communal affairs via provincial government

business to the Federal level . In 1 957 he was elected to the

communal council of Neufeld an der Leitha and belonged to it

until 1 969. A t thirty two h e became a member o t the provinvial

government legi slature and party secretary to the Burgenland

Austrian Socialist Party (SFO ) organi zation , a function that

he held till 1 978 . In this position he enjoyed a full measure

of success - the 1 964 provincial legi slature election brought

victory to the SFO whi ch hereupon for the first time in the

history of Burgenland was entitled to nominate the province ' s

governor . Sinowatz , j ust thirty five , became the legislature ' s

First President . From 1 966 onward , when Theodor Kery replaced

Hans Bogl as provincial governor , Sinowat z was spokesman on

, - 2 -

cultural affairs for the provinc ial government of whi ch he remained a member until 1971 .

This peri od included many activi ties whi ch ri ght to the pres ent day have left their mark on the Burgenland ' s cultural climate . Numerous hist oric buildings were renovat ed and experienced a new l ease of useful life , the province ' s art gall ery was established in Esterhazy Castle at Eisenstadt , and a wide range of opportunities was afforded to contemporary artists .

In November 1 971 Sinowatz was appointed successor to Leopold Gratz as Federal Minister for Education and the Arts and was elected to the Nati onalrat , the lower hous e of the Austrian parli ament . The focal point of his twe lve years as Mini ster was in respect of school affairs the quantitative and qualit�tive improvements made in educational prerequisites . Although the number of pupils has risen only slight ly , there are now 105 , 000 inst ead or 66 , 000 teachers on hand and during thi s time almost three hundred post-compulsory school ing establishments were built , equalities of opportuni ty have been dis tinctly bettered , tree school journeys have been introduc ed , school-books are provided without charge , and grants for schools and host els have been initiated . The organization of the school . system bas moreover undergone fundamental reform . Sinowatz • s outstanding service lay in preventjng the tradi tionally differing views of the two maj or political parti es , the SPO and the OVP (Austrian People ' s Party) , in day�to-day politic& developin& · into a conflict between the civil and the religi ous authorities . On the occasion of each school bi ll the Mini ster managed to reach a compromi se ac ceptable to both parties and thus to ensure its passage through parliament wi th the necessary two thirds maj ority . In cultural affairs hi s main preoccupation was the achievement of a climat e liberal enough for tradi tion , as regards music and the theatre , and all types of modern art i stic expression to have their place .

• - 3 -

By 1 9?8 Sinowatz had advanced to the orri ce or deputy chairman

in the Burgenland sFO . In 1 981 he assumed the appointment or

Vice-chancellor in the Federal Government and in May or the same

year he was elected to the Socialist Party Executive as one or

Bruno Kreisky ' s deputies .

In May 1 983 Sinowatz succeeded Bruno Kreisky as Federal Chan

cellor in a coalition government with the Austrian Freedom Party

(FPO) after the SFO had in the Nationalrat election or April 1983

lost its absolute majority.

Sinowatz married in 1954. He and his wite Hermine have two

children , Eva Sinowatz , a sraduate in law , and her brother Peter , born in 1 95? and 1 960 respectively .

Austria' s contribution to United Nations peace-keeping operations

For the past 24 years, Austria has been an important contributor to United Nations peace-keepi03 operations. Since 1960, Austria has participated in the followi03 operations:

ONOC : In the Co03o, Austria provided air and ground crews, a field hospital and staff personnel ( 1960 to 1963) ;

UNFICYP: When the Force was established in 1964, Austria provided a field hospital and civilian police. Since 1972 , Austria provides an infantry battalion (current stre03th: 296) • '!be current Force Conmander , Maj-Gen Gunther Greindl, is also Austrian;

UNEF I I : Austria helped set up the Force in <Xtober 1973 1::¥ maki03 available an infantry unit which was detached from UNFICYP and subsequently brought up to battalion stre03th. '!be unit remained until June 1974, when it was transferred to the newly established UNIX)F;

UNIX>F: Austr ia has participated in UNDOF sime its irx:eption in June 1974 and has also provided two commanders of that Force : Maj-Gen Hannes Philiw (July 1975 to April 1979) and Maj-Gen Giinther Greindl (December 1979 to February 1981) . The cur rent stre03th of the Austr ian battalion is 529 ;

UNTSO: Austria has provided military observers to UNTSO sime 1967. '!heir current number is 13 . Further , an Austrian observer has been detached from UNTSO to lead one of the two teams established to verify the undertaki03 1::¥ Iran and Iraq to refrain from air and artillery attacks on civilian centers.

casualties: 10 Austrians died while servi03 with UNFICYP , 14 while servi03 with UNDOF.

Finances: In the case of UNFICYP , which is finamed from voluntary contributions, Austria has absorbed a la rge part of the cost of its conti03ent (currently about $ 1. 9 mio for a six-m:.>nth period) • In addition, the United Nations has regrettably been unable to reimburse Austria fully for those costs for which the Organisation is re�nsible , since contributions have consistently fallen short of expenditures. The Secretary-General has made continuil'¥3 efforts, with the co-operation of the troop-contr ibutor s, to seek additional contributions, and Austria has recently taken the lead on behalf of all countries participating in UNFICYP in a renewed effort to �rove the situation. The United Nations owes Austria roughly $ 14 .4 mio in respect of UNFICYP through 30 June 1984 . (There is also a limited shortfall in assessed contributions for

UNJX>F. 'lbrough 30 June 1984, the United Nations owed Austria about $ 3 . 9 mio, on which amount it will make a payment later this year . )

Note for the Secretary-General

The Government of Austria has for a long time demonstrated keen interest

in the issue of w�s and means of enhancing the effectiveness of the Security

Counc il . In 1972 , responding to a General Assembly request , in resolution

2864 ( XXVI ) , for the views of Member States on the matter , Austria presented

by far the longest and most closely-reasoned study among the twenty-some

States responding to the invitation . It was presented in the form of an

analysis , Article by Article , of Articles 23 through 32 of the Charter .

During its 1973-1974 term of membership on the Security Council , the Austrian

delegation circulated informally to the members of the Council a memorandum

containing a number of concrete suggestions for possible changes in the

practical working methods of the Council . Copies of these two documents are

attached. Over the following ten years , the Austrian Mission has continued

to follow with close attention the on-going deliberations of the Council on the

issues raised in the reports of the Secretary-General to the General Assembly

at its thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth sessions .

Members of the Security Council will recall that in 1 972 ,

the Government of Austri a in respons e to Resolution 2864(XXVI )

submitted comment s on "ways and means of enhancing the effective

ne ss of the Security Council in ac cordanc e �dth the purposes and

principle s of the Charter " ( Doc . A/8847/Add. 1 ) . The s e comment s

contained , int er ali a , a number of concret e sugge sti ons for

possib le changes in the practical \'lork of the Security Council .

In thi s connexion the Austri an Government stressed the point that

11in the last resort it is the members of the Security Council \'lho

w,:i.ll ha-ve to decide tvhether there i s a need at the pres ent stage

to take any measures on the basi s of the suggesti ons pre sented by

I1ember St at es und er General As s embly Re solution 2864 (.x:rtTI) " and that " it do e s not seem prop er for any other organ of the United

Nations to tell the members of the Security Council what they

should or should not . do " .

Cons equently , the Austrian Government considers it a parti

cularly fortunat e coincidenc e that , having bsen elected a non

permanent memb er of the Security Counc i l for the ye ars 1 973/74 , it is offered the possibi lity of further expl oring ,.;i. th the other

members of the Council hm-1 one could best e.n.deavour to improve the

Council ' s working methods w�th a view to ensuring increased

effectivene ss . . During the 1 753rd oeeting o f the Security Coun�il

on 31 October 1 973 , ,.;hen th e adoptio n. of th e report of the Se curity

Council was di scus s ed , and again during the 1 761 st I!leeting of t�e Security Counc il O!l 1 7 Ja!luary 1 974 , the A'.J. stri an r�present c..1.ti �:e

suggested that the Council take up the s e �att ers at an approp ri�te

time .

• - 2 -

The Austrian Government beli eve s that -it should not b e toa

diffi cult to define , at a first stage , c ertain b asic areas of

agreement in thi s fi eld and have them further examined , studi ed

and made the sub j ect of detailed prop o s al s by c ompet ent sub sidiary

b odi e s o f the Council thus making the revi si on and streamlining of

the Counc il ' s working methods a more or l e s s continuous pro c e s s .

Concrete measures whi ch might b e put into effect soon , could inc lude

the foll owing :

I. Committ e e o f EA� ert s

In its c omments c ontained in document A/884?/Add . 1 , the Austri an

Governnent suggested a numb er of proc edural measures which the

Counci l might wi sh to examine ( s e e c omments in c onnexion with

Arti c l e s 27 on proc edural vs . non-proc edural matt ers , 28 on p eriodic

meetings and me etings away from Headquart ers ; 29 on sub sidi ary

bodi e s , 30 on the revi sion in general of the rul e s o f procedure ,

31 and 32 on the participati on of non-members ) . The s e que stion�

could usefully be referred to the Committee of Expert s . No for=al

action \'rould be required by the Counc il in thi s resp ect . If r:J.er:J.b ers

were to agree , a meeting of the C ocmittee of EA� ert s could b e cal l ed

at any time by the Pre sident .

At thi s juncture it may b e useful to r e c all that the Co� t t e e o f Expert s , one o f the standing c ommitt ees o f the Securi ty Co��c i l ,

· was e st ab l i shed at the first meeting o f th e C ounci l on 1 7 J�u�y 1 946 , and its initi al task was to c onsider the provi sional rul e s o f proc edure which had b e en reco�end ed by the Prep aratory Co��i ssion. During the c ourse of the fi rst eight years of the Co��ci l ' s

work , s everal addit ional matters were re ffered t o it. The Commit t e e i s c omposed o f repres ent�tives of each memb er o f

the Counc il aLi its chairmanship i s h e ld on �o �thly rotation b y Q

repre sent ative o f the me:nber s t at e Hhich holds the Presidency o f the

Security Counc i l for that month . I1e etings of the Committ e e have

always b e en held in privat e , and its d ocument s and summary rec ords ..

have b e en circulat ed t o it s members only. The Committee held

?8 me etings in 1 946 , 31 in 1 94? , two in 1 948 , one in 1 949 , three

in 1 950 , and two meetings in 1 9 53 .

The Committ e e usually made it a practic e not t o take vot e s on

que sti ons referred to it , but instead to s e ek a c ons ensus to pres ent

to the Council or el s e t o prepare a report reflecting the divergent

vi ews whi ch had b e en advanc ed during its deliberations .

On the as sumption that the Committ e e o f Experts i s called into

s ession by the Pre sident of the Se curity Counci l , foll owing agree

ment to thi s e ffect among all memb ers , the Committe e might be

reque sted to examine the following matters (not nec essarily in the

order set out be low) :

1 . Provi si onal rul es of proc edure

As 'I.·Tas recall ed in document A/884?/Add . 1 , a numb er of t!J.o s e

rul e s have never b e en op erative and could probably b e eliminat ed.

Other rul e s would ne ed c l arification or revi sion in the l ight of the

practic e of the C ouncil which i s laid do�m in s everal large volu=e s .

New rul es on c·ertain subj ects might us e fully b e added , such as rul e s

governing subsidiary organs of the Council .

2 . Parti cipation of non-mei!l.b ers in d e"l:J at e s of the C o-t!Ilc � 1.

Proc edural matt ers

Consideration might be given to the question \·Thether the

conc ept of "proc edural matter" could not us efully be enlarged so

as to comprise c ertain well defined additi onal categories of

matt ers in which , in so facto , the veto wouJ.d not apply. In thi s

respect referenc e is made to a number of sp ecific suggestions

c ontained in document A/8847/Add. 1 .

4. Annual Re�ort of the Se curity Council

It \rill be recalled that at the 1 670th meeting of the Security

Council on 24 .Octob er 1 972 , the issue was rai sed \·rhether it would

not be useful to have in future a shorter report omitting the usual

summari es of debates , as dele gations had developed a tendency to

considerably expand the summari es of their own statements and sub�t

rather extensive revi si ons . Reducing the volume of the Security

Council report would result in some economy and allow for an easier

and speedi er adoption. In thi s c onnexion it should not go. unnotic ed

that the Secretary-General ' s deci sion to reduc e hi s own annual

report to the General As sembly to almost half of it� previous volume

was generally prai s ed.

5 . Li st o f �att ers of whi c� the Secu=it7 Colli�cil is seiz ed

As thi s list cont ains a large n�b er o f it e8s �ot debated by the Council over more than a d e c ade , in s c�e c a s e s for two d e c ades , it seems worth'l.-Thile to att e:npt to eliminat e by co:m:::1on agree:::.'l�n.t

tho s e it ems vihich are no longer of any current interest . Tne i-li sh of the Gover�ent of Indonesia to s e e ite� 8 of the list delet ed,

as communic ated to members of the Counci l by the Secretary-General

on 2 October 1 973 , may b e regarded as a sign.i fico..nt step in thi s

direction.

II. Establi shment of a Committee to revi ew the implementation

of the Council ' s resolutions

It i s obvious that the main critici sm levelled against the

Security Council by some delegati ons in the General As sembly was

due t o the fac t that many resoluti ons of the Sec�ity Council are

not impl ement ed and thus remain dead letter. As was remarked in

document A/884? Add. 1 , although Article 25 of the Charter in con

junction \'lith Article 24 l eaves no doubt that onc e the Security

Council adopt s a valid deci sion in ac c ordanc e with the Charter , all

members of the Unit ed Nati ons are in duty bound to c omply \dth it ,

Memb er States have b e en reluctant to comply with resolutions of the

Security Counc il in a numb er of c as e s , thus disregarding an uneq.uivocal l egal obli gation. Apart from the negative consequenc es which

the non-impl ementation of any S ecurity Council resoluti on t ends to

have on the sub stantive i s sue , the authority and presti ge of the

Council are inevitably underminded as well . This in turn might

re sult in creating a snowballing effect , as Memb er Stat e s which hithel

to have faithfully compli ed with the dec i sions of the Security CounciJ

might b e l e s s and less inclined to do so \vhen others increas ingly

c ome to di sregard the very same deci sions . At the s ame time it was

suggested that it might be a wi s e c ourse of action for the Council

not to c onclude the di scussion of each and every i s sue with the

adoption of a res olution. However , onc e a c oll ective deci si0n i s

taken , the Counc i l should b e prep ared to ensure c ompli a.nc e \'ri th i t .

In vi ew o f thi s sitaation the Council �ght wi sh t o c onsid er

the establi shment of a c ommitt e e for the c onstant review of the

impl ementati on of its resolutio�s . The C o�tt e e should b e a

C ommittee of the Vnole , it should meet in privat e and should make

rec ommendations only by c ons ensus . It should report to the Council

at regular intervals , at l e ast onc e a year , on the implement ati on

o f resolut ions aC.op t ed by the Counc il in the :prec eding ye ar ( s ) .

Such a revi e;.1 proc edure would c onsti tut e an i::1portan.t el e.:lent o f persuasi on and , through its mere e:d s t enc e and the requirement of

at le ast one �ual report on implement ation , mi��t exerc i s e s o o e

degree of pre s s ur e on tho s e umvi lling to comply.

REPLIES RECEIVED FROM GOVERNMENTS

AUSTRIA

.LOriginal : English/ 11 December 1972

Introductory remarks

By resolution 2864 ( XXVI ) the General Assembly requested the SecretaryGeneral to present suggestions concerning ways and means of enhancing the effectiveness of the Security Council in accordance with the purposes and principles of the Charter and in so doing to give due consideration to the views of interested Governments . In his note of 2 February 1972 the Secretary-General invited Member States to communicate to him their views on this matter . Before giving its views on the matter , however , the Austrian Government deems it necessary to define the scope and limitation of the question raised by the General Assembly in the resolution.

It is true that the General Assembly adopted resolution 2864 ( XXVI ) in view of mounting criticism by Member States of the performance of the Security Council . It is equally true , however , that such criti cism is not universally shared. This is borne out by the fact that the resolution was adopted by only 76 votes in ·favour 4lt ( representing roughly 57 per cent of the membership ) and after an extremely brief discussion in whi ch not more than four delegations partic1pated. Moreover , the scarcity of replies to which the Secretary-General referred in his note of 18 July 1972 would seem to lend additional strength to the argument that it is not a wide majority of Member States who are openly dissatisfied with the Security Council ' s achievements , otherwise they would have seized this opportunity to make their views known . On t.he other hand , it cannot be ignored that such criticism was voiced and that there is a feeling among Member States that the Council ' s working methods could be improved so as to render that main organ of the United Nations more effective .

The phraseology chosen by the General Assembly to circumscribe the issue at stake , namely "suggestions concerning ways and means of enhancing the effectiveness of the Security Council in accordance with the principles and provisions of the Charter" , strongly suggests that what the General Assembly desired was to receive suggestion� on how the effectiveness of the Council might be improved within the framework of the existing Charter . Suggestions , however relevant , which would involve Charter amendment would therefore seem quite out of order in this context . Rather , such suggestions should be offered to the General Assembly under the item "Need to consider suggestions regarding the review of the Charter of the United Nations " .

Accordingly, the Austrian Government , while reserving the right to make relevant suggestions at any later stage in respect of questions pertaining to revision of the Charter , is limiting its comments on the matter raised in

/ . . .

A/8847/Add. l English Page 3

General Assembly resolution 2864 (XXVI ) to a brief analysi s and an attempt at interpretation of certain provis ions of the Charter whi ch in the Austrian Government ' s view have tended to be neglected or only partially applied but which should receive more attention and strict application in the future . It is the firm belief of the Austrian Government that the effectiveness of the Security Council can indeed be increased through practi cal measures whi ch would be fully covered by the actual provisions of the Charter and indeed , above all , through stricter observance of the letter and spirit of those Charter provis ions which relate directly or indirectly to the functioning of the Security Council .

Comments relating to Article 23

Article 23 provides that in electing the non-permanent members of the Security Council due regard should be especially paid in the first instance to the contribution of Members of the United Nations to the maintenance of international peace and security and to the other purposes of the Organi zation , and also to equitable geographic distribution.

Whereas the principle of equitable geographic distribution - mentioned in the second place - is enshrined in General Assembly resolution 1991 (XVIII ) and thus is regularly observed , it . seems that the first principle has been less stringently adhered to. It is obvious , however , that the effectiveness of the Security Council would be considerably enhanced if the Council were composed of States of whom one could expect at any time a maximum contribution of their own to the maintenance of international peace . Those States need not alweys be the most powerful but rather those whi ch have demonstrated their willingness to share the common burden of keeping , or helping to restore , peace in the world. One must not lose sight of the fact that maintaining international peace through an organization like the United Nations requires a collective effort . Hence , one must reasonably expect of those Members which share power in the top decisionmaking organ , namely the Security Council , that they should be willing , and capable , to support the Organi zation in any of its peace-keeping efforts in the broader sense . Every member of the Security Council should at any time stand ready to implement in good faith the Council ' s resolutions , to take part in peace-keeping operations , to contribute financi ally and otherwi se to any measures taken by the Organi zation in thi s field , to serve in conciliation commissions , if so de sired , to offer their good offi ces to any parties to a di spute , whenever necessary , to accept nomination for panels of inquiry or missions which the Security Council might wi sh to send to the field; in general terms , to accept special responsibilities . Membership in the Se curity Council , not seldom sought for reasons of prestige , should come to be regarded as it was meant from the beginning : namely , a particularly high offi ce creating responsibilities and obligations which go beyond those· of any ordinary Me�ber of the Organi zation .

It seems , therefore , that the regional groups when discussing candidacies for forthcoming elections to the Security Council should make an effort to choose their candidates from among those Members of the group which , in their view ,

I . . .

A/8847/Add. l English Page 4

would best :t'ulfil the criteria of Article 23 , even i f that would result in cert ain St ates serving more often on the Se curity Council than others . If the principle of mere rot ation were indeed rigidly appli ed , at the expense of the principle that the indivi dual contribution of appli cant s should be taken into account , the average Member of the Organi z ation would serve on the Security Council every 30 years or so , whi ch would not necessarily be very attractive -for the average Member.

Comments relat ing to Art icle 24

Article 24 confers upon the Security Council the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security whi ch the Council i s to di scharge in accordance with the purposes and principles of the United Nations . This Article , inseparably linked with the provis ion of Article 25 , must be regarded as const ituting the fundamental constitutional provi sion from whi ch the Council derives its general powers ( competence generale ) . The Austri an Government does not wi sh , at thi s instance , to comment on the relationship between the se general powers of the Council and it s speci fi c powers as laid down in Chapters VI , VII , VIII and XI I of the Charter. Inst ead , the Austrian Government would invite attention to the di ctum of the International Court of Justi ce in it s Advi sory Opini on of 21 June 1971 which says that :

"The re ference in paragraph 2 of thi s Arti cle /247 to spe ci fic powers of the Security Council under certain chapters of the-Charter does not A exclude the existence of general powers to di scharge the ·respons ibilities �

conferred in paragraph 1 . Re ference may be made in thi s respect to the Secretary-General ' s st atement , presented to the Se curity Council on 10 January 1947 , to the effect that ' the powers of the Council under Article 24 are not rest ricted to the speci fi c grants of authority contained in Chapters VI , VII , VIII and XII . . • the Members of the United Nations have conferred upon the Security Council powers commensurate with its responsibility for the maintenance of pe ace and security . The only limitat ions are the fundamental principles and purposes found in Chapt er I of the Charter' . " ( I . C . J . Reports , 1971 , p . 52 ) .

Members of the United Nati ons must :t'ully realize that in Art icle 24 they have also agreed that in carrying out it s duties under its primary responsibility the Security Council acts on their behalf. Hence , any decision adopted by the Council i s an action taken by the Organi zation as a whole whi ch i s to be implement ed by all members in good faith . The Austri an Government cannot help feeling that thi s es senti al proviso tends to be ignored , at least from time to time . This is , however , not the fault of the Security Council . Member States should, therefore , realize their collective responsibiliti es of which th� Se curity Counc il is but an emanation .

Comment s relating to Anti cle 2 5

Article 25 contains the fundamental obli gation of all Member St ates to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council in accordance with e

/ . . .

A/8847/Add . l English Page 5

the Charter . As already pointed out , this prov1 s1on is intimately linked with Art i cle 24 . There can be no doubt that once the Security Council adopt s a valid decision , in accordance with the Charter , all Members are in duty bound to comply with it . In this cont ext the Austrian Government would again refer to the Advisory Opinion of the Internat ional Court of Just i ce of 21 June 1971 where the Court , while holding that certain decisions made by the Counc il . • . were adopted in conformity with the purposes and principles of the Charter and in accordance with its Art icles 24 and 25 , stated that :

"The deci sions are cons equent ly binding on all States Members of the United Nat ions whi ch are thus under obli gation to accept and carry them out . " ( I . C . J . Report s , 1971 , p . 53 . }

The Court further held that :

1 1 when the Secur ity Council adopt s a dec i s i on under Art icle 2 5 in acc ordanc e with the Chert er , it i s for Member States to comPly with that dec i s i on , including those members of the Security Counci l which voted against it and those Members of the United Nati ons 1-1ho are not members of the Council . To hold otherwi se 1-Tould be to deprive thi s principal organ of it s essential functions and powers under the Charter . " ( I . C . J . Report s , 1971 , p . 54 . }

Despite this quite unequivocal le�al obli gat ion it i s a fact , to be regretted , that in a number of cases Hember States have been reluctant to comply with res olutions of the Secur ity Counci l . Thi s i s , of cours e , a matter of common conc ern , and led the General Assembly to make a speci al appeal in paragraph 16 of the Dec larat ion on the Strengthening of Int ernational Security ( resolut ion 2734 ( XXV } } which

"Urges all Member States to implement the decisions of the Security Council in accordance with their obli p;ations under the Chart er . • • " ,

thus re-emphasi zing the bas i c obligation created by that Arti cle . It does not seem , however , that the trend has changed . The Secretary-General in the Introduct ion to his most rec ent report on the work of the Or�ani zation (A/8701 /Add . l ) again stres sed that :

II we should face the fact that in normal time s the Organi zation does not command the c o-operat ion of its t1embers in implementing its corporat e maj ority dec is ions " ( p . 5 } ,

and that

"it i s true that Member States have not always been respons ive to the resolutions of the Security Counc il . 11 ( p . 3 } .

Apart from the negative cons equenc es which the non-implementation of any Security Council resolut ion will have on the substantive i ssue under cons ideration , the authority and prest ige of the Counc il are inevitably undermi ned as well . This

I . . .

A/8847 /Add . l Engli sh Page 6

in turn might result in creating a snovballing effect bec ause Hember States whi ch hitherto have faithfully complied with the decisions of the Security Counc il might be less and les s inclined to do so when others increas ingly come to di sregard the very same dec isions . It i s in the field of implementation that the Council \odll have to as sert itself , prudently but firmly . At thi s stage it might be a wi se course of action not to conclude the di scus sion of each and every is sue with the adopti on of a resolution . In many instances the mere fact that the Council becomes sei zed with an is sue and publi cly debates it will already have an important impact . Moreover , whenever it becomes necessary to adopt resolutions , one of the considerations to be taken into account by the Council should be the feasibility of their implementation . In thi s respect a rather low keyed approach might seem advisable in the near future , and the Council - as a political organ - when sei zed with a matter pertaining to international peace and security should give regard to the vital interests of all part ie s concerned . Art icle 33 refers to a wide range of peaceful me ans l-Thi ch are at the Council ' s di sposal and the Council should , whenever feasible , call upon the parties concerned to make use of them. It is imperative , houever , that once a collective dec is ion is taken the Counc il be prepared to ensure comnliance with it and to exerc ise as a collect ive organ as well as through its individual members the necessary degree of pres sure on those who do not want to comply . Otherwi se the Counc il ' s authority will be further eroded and the Counc il ' s image , also in the eyes of the \oTorld public opinion , mi.q;ht be damaged beyond repair .

Comments relating to Article 26

Article 26 provides for a competence of the Security Council on questions of armaments regulations .

Although di sarmament questions are currently being discus sed by a numher of United Nations bodies , there would still seem to be need for action by the Security Council . The Counci l could , for example , function as a supreme co-ordinator for the relevant activities of other United Nat ions bodies . Considerin� the close connexion between di sarmament and the main funct ion of the Security Counc il , namely the ma�ntenance of peace and securitv , such direct involvement of the Security Counc il in di sarmament affairs vould seem even more appropriate .

It will be recalled at this juncture that the Security Council i s st ill sei zed with several related questions without , however , havin� di scussed any of them over the past decade , such as "The general regulation and reduction of armament s and information in the armed for ces of the United Nations " ( Item 5 ) , "International control of atomic energy " ( Item 18 ) , and the 11Question of an appeal to Stat es to accede to and ratify the Geneva Prot ocol' of 1925 for the prohibition of the use of bacteriological weapons 11 ( Item 22 ) . The Council also dealt l-Tith disarmament i ssues in the framework of the foliowin� it ems : "Letter dated 23 May 1960 from the repres entatives of Ar�ent ina , Ceylon , Ecuador and Tuni sia addres sed to the Presi dent of the Secur itv Counc il" ( Item 42 ) , and "Letter dated 12 June 1968 from the Permanent Repres entative of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics , the United Kingdom and the United Stat es addressed to the President of

/ . . .

A/8847/Add . l Engli sh Page 1

the Security Counc il " ( Item 78 ) (which , in fact , related to the implementation of the Treaty on the Non-Proli feration of Nuclear Weapons ) . Quite recently , several Stat es requested a meeting of the Security Counc il to consider a draft resolut ion relating to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development , Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological ( Biologi cal ) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruct ion ( S/10619 ) . These instances show thf!.t from a practi cal point of view also the Counc il is wi dely regarded as an appropriate forum for the discus sion of these matters .

Comments relat ing to Pxticle 27

Art icle 27 concerns the voting procedures of the Security Council , and its paragraph 3 ·specifies that any decis ion of the Security Council on non-procedural matters shall be made by an affirmat ive vote of nine members , including the concurring votes of the permanent members . Thi s is the way in whi ch the Chart er circumscribes what commonly became known as the "veto " and , as such , was subj ected to criticism almost from the inception of the Organization· Some members have repeat edly advocated the abolition of the "veto " . otners , have complained "against the veto " while recogni zing that "we c annot chan�e the veto unless the great Powers agree to chan�e it" . ( See e . g . A/PV . 2027 , pp . 123-125 . ) It is obviously most unl ikely that the great Powers will ever accept a radical change in thi s specifi c privilege conferred unon them , and it is even doubt ful that any such change could have bene fi cial results for the United Nation s . The "veto" is but the recognition of the bas ic realities in the world of today and as such should not be made the subject of a moral judgement . The Austrian Government would rather concur with the Secretary-General when he states that '�for the first time since the inception of the United Nat ions the work of the Security Council might actually be based on one of the mai n as sumptions of the Charter , the unanimity of the permanent members in matt ers affect ing peace and security' . ( A/8701 /Add . l , p . 3 . )

It should not be overlooked in thi s context that the Security Counc il itself has gone a long way in att enuating the "vet o " . Over the years it has developed a continuous practice whereby the abstention of a permanent member would not bar a resolution from being adopt ed . As the International Court of Just ice stated in the advi sory opinion already mentioned ,

" • . . the proceedings of the Security Council extending over a long period supply abundant evidence that pres idential rulings and the pos ition taken by members of the Council , in particular its permanent members , have cons istently and uniformly interpreted the pract ice of voluntary abstention by a permanent member as not constituting a bar to the adoption of resolutions . By abstaining , a member does not signify its object ion to the approval of what i s being proposed ; in order to prevent the adoption of a resolution requiring unanimity of the permanent members , a permanent member has only to cast a negative vot e . This procedure follo"red by the Security Council , which has cont inued unchanged after the amendment in 1965 of Art icle 27 of the Charter , has been generally accepted by Hembers of the United Nations and evidences a general pract ice of that Organization . " ( I . C . J . Reports , 1971 , p . 22 . )

/ . . .


To this has been added the practice of permanent members not part icinating in the vote , without such non-parti cipation preventing the adoption of a resolution .

Even more important is the distinction drawn between non-procedural ( substantive ) and procedural matters , as decisions on the latter may be taken by a vote of any nine members of the Council , under Article 27 , paragraph 2 . It i s true that in the so-called San Franci sco Declaration of 7 June 1945 the permanent members of the Council stated that :

" . • • . . the dec i s ion regarding the preliminary question as to whether or not such a matter i s procedural must be taken by a vote of seven (nine ) members of the Security Council , including the concurrin·12: votes of the permanent members . 11

In spite of this position , which went unchallenged at the time the Security Council , with the consent of its permanent members , has defined throu�h practice , and besides from those questions already mentioned in part I , paragraph 2 of the San Franci sco Declaration , certain categories of questions whi ch are regarded as proc edural in nature . _ According to the Repertoire of the Practice of the Security Counc il , these categories compri se the following :

1 . Inclusi on of items in the agenda

2 . Order of items on the agenda

Deferment of consideration of items on the agenda 3 .

4 . Removal of an item from the list of matters of which the Security Council is sei zed

5 . Rulings of the Pres ident of the Securitv Council

6 . Suspension of a meet ing

7 . Adj ournment o f a meeting

8 . Invitation to parti cipate in the proceedin�s

9 . Conduct of business

10 . Convocation of an emergency special ses sion of the General As sembly

The fact that the members of the Security Council , including the permanent members , in practi ce and quite unobtrusively came to recogni ze the above-mentioned issues as procedural is indicative of a busines s-like approach in which common sense prevails .

Past experience of the work of the Security Counc il shows that there has been considerable progres s over the years in drawing a commonly agreed line between i s sues of substance and is sues of procedure where the "veto " would not apply .

Accordingly , the Austrian Government believes it mi ght be helpful and would contribute to increasing the effectivenes s of the Security Council if the Counc il were to explore whether it would not be feasible , at this stage , to try to define

I . . .

At8841J Add�:l English -: Page 9 ·

additional categories of question s - 'other than the 10 categories mentioned

above - which might henceforth be regarded as procedural � thus allowing for decisions to be taken with the positive votes of any nine members of the Counc il .

If the Council were able to determine � by consensus � such additi onal categories of non-substantive ( procedural ) i s sues it could not only enhance it s effectiveness � but would without any doubt contribute largely to silence the critics of the "veto" . The Austrian Government wi shes to emphas i ze � however � that the .above ideas are presented as suggestions only , to be considered by the Council if 'it sees fit .

Comment s relating to Art icle 28

The first paragraph of Art icle 28 provides that each member of the Security Council shall be represented at all times at the seat of the Organi zation with a view to enabling the Counci l to function continuously . This provi s ion obviously entails the obli gat ion for any State which becomes a member of the Security Council not merely "to be represented" at the seat of the Organi zat ion but rather to have adequate representation in the form of an adequately staffed Mi ssion .

Ac cording to the second paragraph of Article 28 , the Security Council shall hold periodic meet ings at a hi gh level . The chronology of the various efforts undertaken in the past with a view to bringing about such meetings , and the reasons which speak in their favour , are set out in the memorandum submitted by the deleeation of Finland in April 1970 ( S /9759 ) . Indeed , since 1969 in part i cular a number of delegations have not ceased to advoc ate the full application of thi s Charter provi sion and obviously as a result of the intensive efforts of these delegations � the Security Council adopted its consensus of 12 June 1970 in which it stated the following :

"The members of the Security Council have considered the que stion of initiating periodic meetings in acc ordance with Arti cle 28 ( 2 ) of the Charter . They cons ider that the holding of periodic meetings , at whi ch each member of the Council would be repres ented by a member of the Government or by some other specially designated repres entative , could enhance the authority of the Security Council and make it a more effective instrument for the maintenanc e of international peace and s ecurity . " ( S /9835 )

It i s well known that the Security Council held its first periodic meeting on 21 October 1970 ; that i s , with a delay of almost 25 years when compared with the quite unequivocal stipulation contained in Art icle 28 ( 2 ) . Although that meeting was generally regarded as successful , and in spite of the promising wording which the reader can find in paragranh 7 of the Final Communique (S/PV . l555 ) , there was to be no second periodic meet ing s ince .

. There can be no doubt that the holding of periodi c high-level meetings would be an important step in the direction of increasinP- the Council ' s effect iveness as stated by the Council itsel f . Such meetings would also provide a forum where the views of Governments are s et forth with the necessary wei ght and authority ,

/ . . .


and where an exchange of views �V take place among those who actively participate in the formulation of foreign policy dec i si ons . Periodic meetings may not only have a wholesome effect on the substantive problems di scus sed but they undoubtedly would also tend to build a more authoritative image of the Council in the publi c opinion of the world . Accordingly , it seems to the Austrian Government that the Council should endeavour to reactivate a pract ice whi ch had a very promis ing start two years ago .

The third paragraph of Art icle 28 empowers the Security Council to hold meetings at such places other than the s eat of the Organi zation as in its judgement will best facilitate its work . Apart from the meetings held in conjunction with the third and sixth sessions of the General As sembly the Security Council has s o far decided only once to hold meetings elsewhere than at Headquarters : i n January-February 1972 i t held 1 3 meetings in Addi s Ababa to consider questions relating to Africa and the implementation of its relevan� resolutions . These meeti ngs apparently were highly succes sful and in this connexion it is well worth-while to ponder the following pas s aRe from the Presi dent ' s concluding statement at the 1639th meeting :

"These meetings have been unprecedented not only because of the lcctile in which they took place , but also because for the first time the Security Council has been able to devote its undivided attention to a global review of the grave polit ical problems which are currently of great concern to the Governments and peoples of the African continent . .

"I feel also that through our meet ings here , we , as members of the Security Council , have derived individually and collectively a greater depth of understanding of these problems and of the extent to which they are a source of deep concern and preoccupation to those African Government s and peoples .

"As an African as well as President of the Security Counc il , I am grateful to feel that by coming here and holding its meetings in Africa the Security Council has also served reciprocally to arouse in the African Governments and their peoples a greater interest and understanding of the United Nations and of the Security Council in part icular .

"In having responded to the request of the Organi zation of African Unity by holding these meetings on African soi l , the Council has helped to bring to the Governments and peoples of Africa a heightened awarenes s of the funct ioning and the purposes of the United Nat ions and a renewed resolve to make full use of the Organizat ion • • • " ( S /PV . l6 39 , p . 68 )

With this successful experience in mind the Austrian Government suggests that the Security Council , in the future , consider , from time to time and whenever conditions seem appropriate , havi?g recourse to Article 28 ( 3 ) and holding meetings

I . . .


in a different environment , if such environment appears in one way or the other to be conducive to the expected solution of a given political issue . The overriding consi deration shall , of course , be that such meetings must be expected to facilitate the Counc il ' s work . Besides , present members of the Security Council and , in part icular , the host country of the Unit ed Nations Organi zation , have stated repeatedly that they would favour , in principle , occasional meetings of the Security Council out s ide of New York ( see S/PV . l624 and 1625 ) . It seems , therefore , that in the future Arti cle 28 ( 3 ) will be more frequently applied . To this end , the Counc il might wish t o request its Committee on Council Meetings away from Headquarters to resume "its work on other aspects of its mandat e , in part icular the Council ' s directive that the Committee should endeavour t o draft general guidelines which could be applied in all similar s ituations which might arise in the future in connexion with Art icle 28 ( 3 ) of the Charter " ( as mentioned in the Committee ' s report , S/1051 4 , para . 28) .

Comments relating to Arti cle 29

Article 29 st ipulat es that the Security Council m�y establi sh such subsidiary organs as it deems necessary for the performance of its functions . A study of the Repertoire of the Practice of the Security Council reveals an impres sive list of subsidiary organs set up by the Council over the past quarter of a century , including standing and ad hoc committees . It appears that in recent years the Council more frequently than before has created Committees of the Whole with a view to dis cus sing in detail the implementation of certain deci sions and/or re solutions and to do so in a less conspi cuous way than in the Council Chamber . Thi s undoubtedly has been very helpful in several instances ( e . g . the Committee established in pursuance of re solut ion 253 ( 1968 ) concerning the que stion of Southern Rhodes ia , or the Ad Hoc Sub-Committee on Namibia which was the first to recommend that the Council seek an advi sory opinion fro� the International Court of Justice ) and demonstrates a very flexible approach to very complicated problems . It i s to be hoped , therefore , that the Counc il , besides establishing subsidi ary organs for specifi c issues which may arise in the future , will also give thought to the reactivation of its Committee of Experts - dormant since 1953 ( s ee al so comments relat ing to Arti cle 30 ) . In the opinion of the Austrian Government , the Securi ty Council acted very wi sely when it started again to resort to the practice of referring appli cations for membership in the United Nat ions to the Committee on the Admi ssion of New �1embers , in accordance with rule 59 , a committee which had been inactive for more than two decades .

Comment s relating t o Art icle 30

Article 30 provides that the Security Council shall adopt its own rules of procedure . In accordance with thi s provis ion the Council , in the course of several meetings held in April , May and June 1946 , adopted a set of rules which are still entitled the "Provi sional rules of Procedure of the Security Council " . The se rules are primarily based on a draft recommended by the Preparatory Commi s sion of the United Nations that had been considered by the Security Council ' s Committee of Expert s which , in turn , had submitted several report s on the matter to the Security Council .

/ . . .


Since their adoption ·in 1946 the provisional· rules of procedure have been modified four times , and on minor points only : in June 1947 , August ' l947 , January 1950 and January 1969 . The operations of the Security Council are thus governed by a body of rules dating back to the very early years of the Organization and while they have been reearded as more or less satisfactory the fact cannot be overlooked that more and more recourse must be had to the bulky volumes of the Repertoire in order to determine the procedure to be followed by the Council in a specific matter . It would not seem untimely , therefore , were the Security Council to proceed to a re-examination and re-evaluation of these rules . It might well be found on close analysis that some rules have not stood the test of times and have come into disuse ·, while others have not been applied at all . Why then not effect some changes which would bring the rules of procedure up to date? To this end the Council should reactivate its Committee of Experts and request it to re-examine the provi sional rules of procedure in their entirety with a view to recommending such changes as it may deem appropriate , bearing in mind the actual practices and usages of the Council as laid down in the Repertoire . In the view of the Austrian Government the Committee of Experts , a Committee of the �fuole which holds its meetings in privat e , would be the proper body to study these issues and the Government would be prepared to submi� proposals to the Committee in due time . By the way of example , the Austrian Government wi shes to refer to rule 1 according to which meetings of the Council should be held at least every two weeks and rule 4 which states that periodic meetings should be . held twice a year , without the Charter mentioning at all such a strict schedule ; to rule 14 concerning the credentials of representatives of non-members of the Council invited to participate in certain meetings , which has fallen into disuse ; to the rules concerning conduct of business and voting (rules 27-40 ) which are rudimentary , as compared with the rules of procedures of other bodies . · The relevant rules of the General As sembly , for example , on conduct of business and voting are definitely more elaborate and have been revised and improved constantly by the General Assembly itself ( see , inter alia , the report of the Special Committee on the Rationali zation of the Procedures and Organi zation of the General Assembly , A/8426 ) . A re-examination of the Council ' s rules of procedure at this stage - even if not resulting in a major revision - would undoubtedly be useful and would , at the least , stave off criticism by non-members of the Council such as the criticism voiced in this respect at the 1867th meeting of the General Assembly ( see A/PV . l837 , page 31-32 and document A/L. 580 ) .

Comments relating to Arti cle 31

Article 31 provides that any Member of the United Nations which i s not a member of the Security Council may participate , without vote , in the dis cus sion of any question brought before the Council whenever the latter considers that the interests of that Member are specially affected . This Charter provi sion is implemented by rule 37 of the provis ional rules of procedure .

Although the wording of Article 31 and rule 37 would suggest a restrictive meaning by placing emphasis on the fact that the interest of the Member seeking participation must be "specially affected " and in spite of earlier precedents when the Security Council refused to invite Members in cases where there was no evidence

/ . . .

• r r •


of their interests being thus affected ( see , e . g . 178th meeting on 7 August 1947 , Repertoire 1946-1951 , p . 113 ; 576th meeting on 14 April 1952 , Repertoire 1952-195 5 , pp . 48-49 ; 619th meeting on 26 August 195 3 , Repertoire 1952-195 5 , p . 49-50 ) , the Council ' s practice over the past two decades has been to approve , usually without a vote , almost any application for parti cipation emanating from a Member State .

It seems , therefore , that , for all practical purposes , there would be merit in generally interpreting Article 31 more strictly and more in conformity with its wording .

Comment s relating to Article 32

Art'i cle 32 provides that any State , if it is a party to a dispute under cons ideration by the Security Council , shall be invited to participate , without vote , in the di scuss ion relating to the di spute . The language of thi s Charter provision i s mandatory , hence any party to a di spute on the agenda of the Council must be invited ipso facto . There i s no need for a formal request ( as there would be under the preceding Article ) . Thi s has been recogni zed implicit�y by the International Court of Justice ( see para . 23 of the Advisory Opinion of 21 June 1971 , I . C . J . Reports , 1971 , p . 22 ) . It is also confirmed by the Council ' s practice in certain cases . Thus , at the 1606th meeting on 4 December 1971 - to quote but the most recent example - the Council invited the parties to the conflict without prior request , making reference to Arti cle 32 of the Charter . There are cases , however , where in spite of an existing confl ict the Council did not automatically extend invitations under Arti cle 32 but rather await formal requests for participation from the parties concerned before inviting them to come to the Counc il ' s table . In other cases States deeply involved in certain political i s sues under consideration by the Council have not been invited at all although it could have been argued that those States were parties to a given conflict .

Accordingly , it seems to the Austrian Government that it would be wi se to adopt uni form procedures for such cases and to dra�.r a strict line between invitation s under Article 31 and those under Article 32 . There again , the Committee of Experts might be sei zed with a view to having these i s sues clarified .

Concluding remarks

As already stated in the Introduction , the Austrian Government wished to limit its reply under General As sembly resolut ion 2864 ( XXVI ) to presenting comments on the basic Charter provi sions which govern the activities of the Security Council , hoping that its suggesti ons in that context "rould contribute to a reapprai sal of these provi s ions by the Security Council . It is the cons idered vi ew of the Austrian Government that the relevant Charter provi sions , if fully applied in accordance with their spirit , enable the Security Council to discharge its responsibilities for the maintenance of international peace and s ecurity .

/ . . .


.. . . .

It i s obvious that in the last resort it is the members of the Security Council who will have to decide whether there is - need at the present stage to take any · measures on the basis of the suggestions presented by Member States under General Assembly resolution 2864 (XXVI ) . It does not seem proper for any other organ of the United Nations to tell the members of the Security Council what they should or should not do . The Austrian Government wanted to offer the present suggestions with a view to facilitating the Council ' s appraisal of the situation . It hopes that its suggestions will be considered by the members of the . Security Council in this light .

1. There were 39 nat ionals of Austria on geographical posts at the Un i ted Nations Secretariat as of 15 June 1984 , as compared with a desirable range for the country of 16-28 . Austria is therefore above i ts des irable range .

2 . In addition there were , as of 15 June 1984 , 510 nat ionals of Austr ia on non-geographic posts at the UN Secretariat , plus 3 by ITC , 11 on special leave wi thout pay (SLWOP) , 11 emplO¥ed by . UNDP� 13 by UNHCR, 6 b� UNICEF and 1 by UNRWA . The total number of nat ionals of Austria with the jJted Nations and the above-mentioned organiz ations therefore equals 594 . l

ONE MAJOR AREA REQUIRING PARTICULAR ATTENTION

WITH REGARD TO FUTURE CO-OPERATIVE ARRANGEMENTS RELATES

TO CONFERENCE SERVICES. UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE I

ACTIVITIES AS DISTINCT FROM THOSE OF UNIDO

ALREADY CONSTITUTE A VERY LARGE SHARE OF SUCH ACTIVITIES

IN VIENNA . THIS QUESTION ALSO ASSUMES ADDITIONAL

IMPORTANCE IN VIEW OF THE PLANNED COMPLETION IN 1 986 ..... et

OF THE LARGE AUSTRIAN CONFERENCE FACILITY ADJACENT

TO THE VIENNA INTERNATIONAL CENTRE.

IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN UNITED NATIONS CAPACITY IN

VIENNA AND TO IMPROVE FACILITIES IN THE CONFERENCE SECTOR,

IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION LINKS

BETWEEN VIENNA AND NEW YORK . I AM PLEASED TO NOTE

THE PROGRESS RECENTLY MADE IN THE TRANSMISSION OF TEXTS

BY WORD PROCESSOR AND I HOPE THAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,

AT ITS NEXT SESSION, WILL AGREE TO FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS

IN THIS AREA WHICH IS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO VIENNA

UNITS WITH PARENT BODIES IN NEW YORK .

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAS ENDORSED MY · PROPOSAL

TO ESTABLISH PERSONNEL AND INFORMATION SERVICES

FOR THE UNITED NATIONS OFFICE IN VIENNA. I UNDERSTAND

THAT THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING THESE DECISIONS

IS WELL UNDER WA Y AND THAT SOME JOINT BODIES REQUIRED

FOR �TAFF-MANAGEMENT CONSULTATIONS HAVE ALREADY BECOME ,....

OPERATIONAL.

- 4 -

THE SMOOTH FUNCTIONING OF THE STAFF-MANAGEMENT BODIE S

IS NECESSARY IN ORD ER TO MAINTAIN GOOD RELATIONS

BETW E EN TH E STAFF AND THE ADMINISTRATION AND CONTRIBUT E

TO BOTH EFFICIENCY AND MORALE. THESE STAFF-MANAGEMENT

BODIES WILL ALSO HAVE TO RECOMMEND SOLUTIONS TO A NUMBER

OF PROBLEMS OF DIRECT IMPORTANCE TO MANY OF YOU,

SUCH AS THE QUESTION OF FLEXIBLE WORKING HOURS

AND THE CLASSIFICATION OF POSTS IN THE GENERAL SERVICE

CATE GORY.

I KNOW THAT MUCH REMAINS TO BE DONE TO COPE

WITH THE PROBLE MS OF TRANSITION AND TO LAY A GOOD SOLID

GROUND FOR THE IMPORTANT AND E XPANDING ACTIVITIES

OF THE UNITE D NATIONS IN VIENNA. BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS 4e

AND OTHER FACTORS SOMETIMES IMPEDE QUICK PROGR ESS

BUT I WISH TO ASSURE YOU THAT W E IN NEW YORK ARE FULLY

AWARE OF YOUR CONC ERNS HERE. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT OUR

STAFF COMES TO VI ENNA TO WORK DIRECTLY UNDER

THE DIR ECTOR-GENERAL AND TO LEARN OF THE PROBLEMS AT FIRST

HAND. IN THIS, AS IN ALL OTHER UNITED NATIONS

ENDEAVOURS, SUCCESS IS BUILT ON THE STEADY CO-OPERATION

. OF THE VARIOUS S E RVIC ES AND OFFICES CONCERNED .

AND ON THE DETERMINATION OF E VERY STAFF. MEMBER TO MAKE

THE MOST EFFECTIVE USE OF SKILLS AND RESOURCES IN ORD ER

TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE ORGANIZATION.

THE RESULT HAS BEEN THAT THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON POST

ADJUSTMENT QUESTIONS HAS RECOMMENDED TO THE ICSC

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN RESPECT OF THE INITIAL VIENNA

CALCULATIONS WHICH GO A LONG WAY TOWARDS REDUCING

THE DIFFERENCE ORIGINALLY FOUND. I AM CONVINCED THAT .

WHILE THIS MAY NOT BE FULLY SATISFACTORY TO THE STAFF,

IN THE LONG RUN THE STEPS TAKEN BY THE COMMISSION

WILL BE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE STAFF IN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.

I WOULD WISH TO PAY A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO THE STAFF

OF UNRWA . FOR THE AGENCY 'S UNTIRING EFFORTS OVER THE YEARS

TO ALLEVIATE THE CONDITIONS OF PALESTINIANS BY PROVIDING

TWO MILLION REFUGEES WITH SHELTER, FOOD, MEDICAL CARE

AND EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES. WITH LIMITED RESOURCES

AND OFTEN IN DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES, THE AGENCY, THROUGH

ITS DEDICATED STAFF, LED SO ABLY BY MR. 0LOF RYDBECK

HAS CARRIED OUT ITS SELFLESS TASKS WITH ADMIRABLE

DEDICATION AND COURAGE . IT IS EVIDENT THAT NO RELIEF

O P E R A T I O N , H O W E V E R I M P O R T A N T , C A N R E L I E V E

THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OF ITS CLEAR OBLIGATION

TO ACHIEVE A SOLUTION OF THE MAIN POLITICAL PROBLEM

INVOLVED. BUT THE STAFF OF UNRWA SHOULD FEEL CERTAIN

THAT, WITHOUT THEIR PRESENCE AND THE EFFORTS

OF THE AGENCY, THE SEARCH FOR A PEACEFUL SOLUTION

TO THE PALESTINE QUESTION WOULD B E EVEN MORE DIFFICULT.

IN THIS RESPECT, THE AGENCY 'S TASKS, THOUGH HUMANITARIAN,

ASSUME AN IMPORTANCE NOT LESS THAN THAT OF A PEACE-KEEPING

OPERATION.

Bac kground

. The stage for the UN Decade for Women was set in San Frans i sco in 19 4 5 .

The preamble of the UN Char ter , adopted the r e , reaff irms " the equal r ights of

men and women " . S ince tha t . t ime , the Commiss ion on the S tatus of Women has

played a cr i t ical role in elaborating international standards for improv ing

the status of women and elminat ing sex d i scr imination. More recently ,

al though concer ned w i th equal r ights , emphas i s has also been g iven to women ' s

role in deve lopment including the ir economic and po litical role . The

Commiss ion meets every two yea r s and has a membe r ship of 3 2 states .

To draw internat ional attention to the strugg le for women ' s full

integ rat ion in soc iety , 19 75 was des ignated by the General Assembly as

Internat ional Women ' s Year mar ked by a global conference held in Mex ico C i t y .

At that Confer ence it was proposed to des ignate 19 75-1985 a s the UN Decade for

Women : Equ al i ty Deve lopment and Peac �.

A mid-Decade UN conf er ence was held in Copenhagen in 1980 focussed on a

plan of act ion featur i ng obj ec t i ves and measures in the spec i f ic ar eas of

health , educ at ion and employment . The Mexico C i ty confer enc e helped to r a i se

the consc iousness of women everywhere to the efforts be ing made

internat ionally and n"tionally to achieve greater equality and open up

oppo r t un i t i es to women to pa r t ic ipate fu lly in all aspec ts of deve lopment . At

Copenhagen the common concerns of women - East , Wes t , No rth and South - became

more evident . For the end of the Decade Conference to be held at Nai robi from

15- 26 July 1985 , the focus will be on the obs tac les encountered in attaining

' I

the goals and objectives of the Decade with a v iew to future action up to the

year 2 00 0 .

I t i s expected that new impetus will be given to women in development issues

although balanced attention will also be given to the themes of peace and

equality .

The Commission on the Status o f Women has been des ignated by the General •

Assembly to serve as the preparatory body for the 1985 Conference and the

Branch for the Advancement of women of the CSDBA/DIESA to act as the

Conference Secretar iat with Mr s . Leticia Shahani serv ing as Secretary-General.

The first session of the preparatory body held in February 1 9 8 3 took

decisions on reg ional and other pre-conference activities and on the agenda

for the Conference . The ma in items of the agc��a will �: Cr itical review and appraisal of progress achieved and obstacles

encountered in attaining the goals and objectives of the United Nations

INTERNATIONAL YOUTH YEAR - 198 5

Bac!tground

The General As sembly at its thirty-fourth session ( in resolution 34/151 of 17

December 1979 ) designated 198 5 as Int ernat ional Youth Year : Participation ,

Development , Peac e , an indication of the serious intention of Government s to

�ive tull attent ion to the role of young people in the world today and to their

demands of the world of tomorrow. The world youth population ( defined as persons

aged 15 to 24 ) was 738 mill ion in 1975 , and by 2000 it is expected to number

1 , 180 million.

The General Assembly , in 1980 , decided to establish a 24-member Advisory

Committee for the IYY : ,\lgeria , Chile , Costa Ric a , Democratic Yemen , Germany

( Federal Republic o f ) , Guatemala , Guinea , Indonesia , Ireland , Jamaica, Japan ,

Lebanon, Morocco , Mozambique , Netherlands , Nigeria, Norway , Poland , Romania ,

Rw.nda , Sri Lanka, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics , United States of Americ a

and Venezuela.

At its first ses sion {AprU 1981 ) the Advi sory COmmittee adopted the

Spec i fic Programme of Measures and Activiti es for the Preparation and Observance

of International Youth Year , which was later endorsed by the General Assembly

(A/36/21 5 , Annex ) . The Speci fic Prograiae was designed to be implemented before

and during the IYY , with suggestions for an appropriate follow-up; it established

activities to be undertaken at national , regional. and international levels ; it

encouraged the active partic ipation of young people themselves in all phas es

and aspects of the programme .

There are several reasons for adopti� thi s approach : Ti1e realization that

meaningfUl action to change the situation of youth requires long-t erm commitment ;

the understanding that activities at all levels are necessary - to create general

public awareness of the situation of youth - to enable appropri ate co-ordination

o f activities and to focus efforts where they will involve the greatest number

of young people ; and the desire to thoroughly renect the three themes of the

Year .

/ . . .

. .

- 2 -

It vas overwhelmingly reali zed that tor youth to have opportunities

to partic ipate in the planning and preparation ot IYY , primary emphasis must

be given to activities and programmes at the local and national �evel s .

Activities at the regional and international levels should serve to support

and encourage local and nat ional level activities .

In order to co-ordinate activities at the national level , a major

recommendat ion ot the first ses sion of the Advisory Committee vas the establi sh

ment by Government s ot nat ional co-ordinating committees for the Year . To date , over 100 countries have taken measures to do this . This not only reflects

the great interest in the situation of youth and in the IYY , but it also marks

the first time various sectors have j oined together at the national level to

develop national action for and with youth. The national co-ordinating committees

are expected to per form the following funct ions : Invest igate and create awareness

at the national level of the problems and concerns of young people ; develop

national plans ot action based on the assessment of the s ituation of yout h ;

co-ordinate the activities o f various governmental and non-governmental organizations ;

and act as liaison internationally with other groups and organi zations .

The Advisory Committee convened its second session (June 1982 ) in order to

review progress in the implementat ion of the Specific Programme of Measures and

Act ivities , and to propose further guidelines tor action. The maJor act ivity

approved by the second session or the Committee was the convening during 1983 �r five regional meetings devoted to IYY . These meetings reviewed the situation

ot youth in each region and adopted regioDal plans ot action for youth . They

also created greater public awareness ot youth issues and of IYY , brought

to get her representatives from many Governments , United Rations agencies and bodies

and non-govermental organi zations and in so doing gave tremendous impetus to

the implementation ot programmes tor youth at both the regional and national

levels . The very close working relationship between the regional commissions

and the IYY secretariat, established within the Centre tor Social Development and

Humanitarian Attair s , and the growing interest of Governments in IYY were

instrumental in the succ ess o t the regional meetings on IYY .

/ . . .

. .. .. - 3 -

The recently completed third session o f the Advisory Committee , held from 2 to 11 April 1984, vas concerned mainly vith activity at the international level.

Maj or issues of discussion vere the possibility of holding a vorld conference on

youth in 1985 under the auspices of the United Nat ions , a global plan of action

for youth, the strengthening of channels of communication betveen the United Nations

and youth and youth organizations , and the formulation of � declaration of rights

and. respons ibilities for youth. The Committee . adopted four resolutions by consensus .

The main points of the resolutions are as follows :

Convening , vithin existing resourc es , of a fourth . session of the

Advisory Committee for IYY in 1985 in order to recommend guidelines

for further planning and suitable follov-up on youth ;

Devoting an appropriate number of plenary meetings of the General Assembly

to youth at its fortieth session, provided that it is consistent vith

the As sembly ' s procedures and practic es that such meetings can be

designated as the UN lolorld Conferenc e for IYY ;

Recommending that the r egional commissions implement the regional plans

of act ion on International Youth Year ; and

Suggesting that the UN system ass ist Governments in the preparation

of international events and regional and inter-regional conferenc es

on spec ific youth-related subj ect s .

During 1984 and 1985 , the aim of the IYY secretariat is to encourage the

implementation of the Specific Programme of Measures and Act ivities with parti

cular. emphasis placed at the national level . In order to achieve success at

the national level , the secretariat rill vork closely with the national

co-ordinating committees and vi th national , regional and international youth

organizat ions .

Concluding remarks

The International Youth Year has generat ed tremendous interest at the

national level ( 106 national co-ordinating committees have been establ ished ) ,

regional level (there are now five regional plans o f action on youth which ar�

being implemented ) and at the international level (resolutions on youth are

sponsored by over ninety countries in the General Assembly ) . In ad.di tion,

requests to the United Nations for information , technical guidanc e and support

and advi sory services for the preparation for the Year have increased tremendously.

Hundreds ot seminars and meetings are b�ing organi zed at all levels. Special

programmes to celebrate the Year such as international film festival s , music

competitions , �tural programmes , essay contest s , photo exhibitions and stamp

issuances are being planned at all levels . In addition , international conferences

and fest ivals are scheduled tor 1985 by individual government s and non

governmental organizations .

In the next twenty months issues will ari se relating in particul�� to the

proposed declarat ion on the rights and responsib ilities of youth ; the reasJ.bility

and desirability ot a world conference ( these tvo issues were not approved by the

A J.sory CommJ. at the thirt -ninth session

ot the General Assembly ) ; United Nations involvement in certain ·politic ally

sens itive international conferences organized by individual government s . In

addit ion , resolut ions of a political nature ( such as youth and anartheid and

the human rights of youth living in Arab occupied territories ) are likely to

be reintroduced and discussed during General Assembly deliberat ions .

I . Soviet proposal for talks on prevention of militarization · of outer space and us · response

1 . 0nf 29 June , the USSR had prop�sed to the us the holding of bilateral talks to "prevent the militarization of outer space" , to s tart in Vienna in September . United States had replied to the of fer the very same day and had said that it would be willing to j oin in talks on "feasible approaches " but that it would also expect to discuss "mutually agreeable arrangements under which negotiations on the reduction of s trategic and intermediate range nuclear weapbns can be resumed " . On " 6 July , TAS S issued an official statement out lining the Soviet Union ' s stand on the issue . Recalling the USSR ' s 29 June offer to "reach agreement on banning and scrapping a who le class of armaments - strike space systems , including spacebased antisatellite and antimissile systems as well as any land-based , airbased or sea-based systems designed to hit targets in space" , the statement maintained that the US response had "assumed a negat ive pos ture" by "advancing preconditions and linking the talks on space with a discussion of questions of s trategic and European-based nuclear arms " .

2 . Subsequently , US Administration officials said that President Reagan in a letter to USSR President K . Chernenko at the beginning of July had expressed willingness to delay the start of the Soviet-proposed talks on space weapons until after November in order to keep the issue out of the US Presidential campaign . This new element was first disclosed by Soviet diplomats in Vienna and later on by US officials in Washington .

3 . On 23 July , Soviet spokesman V . Lomeiko s tated that the USSR had proposed to the US that the two countries issue a j oint s tatement to demonstrate their readiness for serious negotiations on banning weapons in space and was awaiting a rep ly . The proposed document would state -according to Lomeiko - that "the USSR and the US agree to get down to negotiations with a view to drawing up and concluding an agreement on prevention of. militarization of outer space , including full renunciation of antisatellite systems . " It would also state both sides ' agreement "on introducing , as of the day of the beginning of the negotiations , a mutual moratorium on tests and deployment of space armaments " .

4 . On 2 6 July , in an interview with The Washington Pos t , US Defense Secretary C . Weinberger said that there was "no point" in going to Vienna for talks with the Soviet Union if it insisted on limiting the discussions to the subj ect of space weapons . Mr . Weinberger said he hoped there could be an agreement that the talks would include discussions on s trategic and intermediate-range nuclear missiles . The same . day , however , Secretary of ?tate G . Shultz reassured about 40 Senators that the US Administration was vigorously proceeding to prepare for the Vienna talks . . .

II . Latest developments

1 . On 27 July , USSR Deputy . Foreign Minister V . Komplektov rej ected the US ' s reply to the Soviet Union ' s space weapons proposals and charged the US of making negotiations i�ossible .

2 . Mr . Komplektov stated that the US reply "referred only to reaching mutual and verif iab le measures to limitations on issues causing concern to both sides " , without even mentioning space weapons .

3 . As of 30 July , there has not been a pub lic Soviet response to the US Administration ' s announcement on Saturday 28 July , that it had given the US SR a new draft proposal for an opening communique on the talks . According to US Administration officials , such draft would explicitly mention space weapons , and was actually delivered af ter the latest remarks of Soviet Foreign Minister A. Gromyko .

4 . On 27 July 1984 , as a result of a private visit of former US Senator McGovern to the US SR , Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko was quoted as saying that he did not expect negotiations .to be held in September on banning weapons - in space . Today , 30 July , NATO Secretary-General Lord Carrington has said that US-USSR . talks on space weapons are unlikely before the American presidential election in November .

5 . The . chances of holding - negotiations on space weapons in September under conditions and within a range acceptabl� to both parties seem to have been greatly reduced .
