Discurso do Representante Permanente Alterno do Brasil, Embaixador Norberto Moretti, em reunião do quadro de Negociações Intergovernamentais sobre a Reforma do Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas - 23 de junho de 2025 (texto em inglês)

Statement by the Deputy Permanent Representative of Brazil to the United Nations, Ambassador Norberto Moretti, at the Intergovernmental Negotiations framework on Security Council Reform
June 23rd, 2025

Mr. Chair,

Brazil aligns itself with the statements delivered by Germany, on behalf of the G4, and by Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, on behalf of the L.69. I will add some brief comments in my national capacity.

As in previous occasions, I express my delegation’s appreciation for your sustained and successful efforts during this Session in pursuing meaningful discussions in the IGN. We thank all delegations or groups who presented models in this cycle and for their willingness to hear comments and answer questions.

I will not repeat the comments presented by L.69 and the G4, with one key exception: the characterization of the IGN in the section of the revised Elements Paper dedicated to the Pact for the Future. The IGN never was and is certainly not the exclusive Member State-led platform to carry out the Security Council reform. My delegation kindly requests that you revise the text, even as we all agree that the document before us reflects your views and not that of delegations.

Mr. Chair,

There is no overstating the urgency of reforming the Security Council. Continued inaction is not an option. We have before us a substantial body of proposals by Member States that provide a solid foundation for progress. We do hope that, in the remaining of this Session and in the 80th Session, the IGN will prioritize text-based negotiations as a means to reconcile current divergent positions and thus allow us to move ahead.

I thank you.
