Political declaration on strengthening cooperation between the
United Nations and regional and subregional organizations
We, high-level representatives of Member States and observers meeting in
New York on 4 May 2015, declare that the high-level thematic debate on
strengthening cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional
organizations constitutes an important opportunity to further build upon and
enhance the strategic partnership between the United Nations and regional and
subregional organizations. We therefore:
1.
Welcome the ongoing efforts to strengthen the cooperation between the
United Nations and regional and subregional organizations, within their respective
mandates, towards a more effective, efficient and coherent partnership;
2.
Underscore the important role that regional and subregional
organizations play, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, in the
areas of peace and security, development and human rights, and recognize that these
organizations are well positioned to understand the challenges and dynamics facing
their respective regions given their geographic, cultural and historical proximity, as
well as information about specific local and conflict situations within their
mandates, and contribute to the prevention and resolution of such conflicts;
3.
Also underscore that the cooperation between the United Nations and
regional and subregional organizations has evolved over the years and that
strengthening these partnerships is strategic for promoting the principles of
comparative advantage and complementarity;
