PRESIDENCY OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL
In July 2009, Uganda will hold the Presidency of the Security Council. The highlight will be a Thematic Debate on Post-conflict Peacebuilding, at Ministerial Level, scheduled for July 22, 2009. The high-level meeting will reiterate the Security Council’s commitment to ensure more effective and efficient peacebuilding, and sustainable development in post-conflict situations. In particular, the meeting is expected to consider recommendations by the Secretary General on how to strengthen the United Nations’ response, as well as ensure an early and more coherent response from the regional and wider international community.
Working Group on Conflict Prevention and Resolution
Uganda’s Permanent Representative to the UN, H.E. Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda, currently chairs the Ad Hoc Working Group on Conflict Prevention and Resolution in Africa. The Working Group, pursuant to its mandate, holds informal and thematic meetings, workshops, forums, and public meetings. It reviews how the UN, working with the African Union, can implement more effective conflict prevention and resolution strategies in Africa, and how the countries emerging out conflict can be assisted to attain sustainable peace and development. The working group addresses regional and sub-regional issues, including the problem of drug trafficking.
