JAKARTA - The delegation of the Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Agency (BKSAP) led by the Chairman of the BKSAP DPR RI Fadli Zon paid an honorary visit to the President of the UN General Assembly, HE. Dennis Francis, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. On that occasion, Fadli Zon, who is also the Executive Committee at the IPU (World Parliament Organization), called for the need for reform of the international organization, especially in terms of decision making at the Security Council.
This call was conveyed in line with the ratification of the Admission of new Members to the United Nations resolution at the 10th Emergency Special Session of the UN General Assembly which gave additional rights and civiles to Palestine in participating in the United Nations. The resolution of the UN General Assembly which reflects the majority will of these nations also considers Palestine worthy of being a member of the United Nations.
The next challenge is to ensure that the UN Security Council follows up in the next discussion. veto rights continue to be an obstacle in multilateralism. "The DPR RI is of the view that through leadership at the UN General Assembly, organizational reforms including UN DK can be carried out, and can become an agenda part of the summit agreement for the Future or UN Summit for the Future in September," he explained further.
Fadli Zon appreciated the leadership of the President of the United Nations General Assembly on various issues including the Palestinian issue. He encouraged the active leadership of the President of the UN General Assembly to affirm international law, international humanitarian law, and human rights that have become a universal value to continue to be respected.
"We also congratulate the implementation of the UNRWA Pledging Conference which reaffirms funding efforts against the organization in question. Indonesia has also increased its regular contribution from around US$ 600,000 in 2023 to US$ 1,200,000 per year in 2024 and grant funds worth US$ 2,000,000," he added.
The deputy chairman of the Gerindra Party also encouraged parliamentary diplomacy to become a discussion agenda at the UN General Assembly. Parliamentary diplomacy is a feature in the growth of multilateral architecture and the expansion of global governance actors. "Whatever is the agreement at the United Nations must also be translated at the domestic level through discussions with Parliament at the national level. For this reason, Parliament also needs to know international issues and agendas, including supporting the interests of state diplomacy," Fadli said in a written statement from New York received by VOI, Tuesday, July 16.
On that occasion, Fadli Zon, who is also Deputy Chair of the GOPAC (Organization of the Anti-Corruption World Parliament), also hopes that organizations between parliaments on corruption issues can achieve the status of Permanent Observers at the UN General Assembly. At least three organizations between parliaments, namely the IPU, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM), and the Latin American Parliament (Parlatino), have received permanent observer status at the UN General Assembly.
