ASSEMBLY CHAMBER | STATEMENT BY THE SECRETARIAT

Deputy Secretary-General Shashi Tharoor turned to the Secretariat's seats and said, "I invite Acting Under-Secretary-General for Assembly and Conference Management, Ms. Zavala, to address the Assembly on behalf of the Secretary-General regarding the Rules of Procedure."

Marta Zavala approached the lectern, gazing across the seated delegations and cleared her throat. "Honorable representatives, I extend my gratitude to the President of the Assembly for the opportunity to address this esteemed body. The Department for Assembly and Conference Management is dedicated to providing the Assembly with the essential support required to fulfill its responsibilities. A crucial element in enabling the Assembly to function effectively is a robust foundation, embodied in its Rules of Procedure. The Provisional Rules of Procedure were drafted with a focus on efficiency. This document offers clear guidelines on the fundamental procedural aspects of this body, including the convening of sessions, the responsibilities of chairs, and the processes for making decisions and recommendations. Additionally, these Rules of Procedure introduce the establishment of committees to expand the deliberative capacity of the Assembly."

"I call this Assembly to thoughtfully review the Provisional Rules of Procedure, engage in critical debate on its content, and propose amendments as needed. In conclusion, I hope the Assembly views these Rules as an equitable foundation for its functioning and that it receives unanimous support. Thank you."
