UN General Assembly
2015

This theme, the choice of which is of proven relevance, will undoubtedly permit all world leaders and lovers of peace, freedom and justice to make an objective assessment of the progress the Organization has made and to consider the future with a critical eye trained on the difficulties encountered in the past, particularly in areas where the United Nations and the international community are called upon to make greater efforts to meet current and future challenges. At this time of reckoning, we welcome the important progress made in implementing the provisions of Chapter VI of the Charter on the pacific settlement of disputes through negotiation, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement, all of 20/34 15-29425 28/09/2015 A/70/PV.15 which have resulted in the prevention, management, maintenance and consolidation of peace in the world. We also welcome the significant progress achieved in the processes of decolonization, disarmament and the promotion of human rights. Indeed, we appreciate the true value of building agreements under Chapter VIII of the Charter, in particular between the Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council.
