Statement by Ambassador Girma Asmerom during the UN Security Council Debate

STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR GIRMA ASMEROM, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF ERITREA TO UNITED NATIONS, DURING THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL DEBATE ON “WORKING METHODS OF THE SUBSIDIARY ORGANS OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL”

Mr. President;
Distinguished Colleagues;
I would like to thank the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in particular Ambassador Rafael Dario Ramirez Carreno, for organizing this important and timely debate on the Working Methods of Subsidiary Organs of the Security Council.
Given the complex and dynamic global environment improving the working methods of the Subsidiary Organs of the Security Council has paramount importance. Eritrea Strongly believes that a transparent and credible process in the Security Council is not a matter of an option but a necessity.
Mr. President,
For the sake of brevity, I would like to highlight the following three points:
1. Ensuring Comprehensive assessment of the impact of sanctions regimes: Once the causes for the sanctions are proven non-existent and their intended purpose is negatively affecting regional and international peace, security and development as well as the life of the people, the UN Security Council is duty bound to immediately and unconditionally lift sanctions. Legal and factual issues must be separated from politically and diplomatically motivated agendas. Let us not mix Oranges and Apples
