United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs B. Lynn Pascoe arrived in Nepal this morning at the start of a two-day visit to review the progress in the peace process and preparations for the orderly withdrawal of UNMIN.
“This is a critical period. The Security Council has decided that UNMIN will close on January 15. There is a lot of work to be done between now and then. [The Council] also gave explicit instructions to do everything we can to help the Nepali peace process in that period, which we will certainly do under [Representative of the Secretary-General] Karin Landgren,” Pascoe said upon his arrival.
“I need to get a good feel for where the process is at the moment. I hope they would be very positive discussions that I have with the party leaders and the government on this process because I have to go back and report to the Security Council next week on what I find. So I'm looking for a very productive next couple of days,” he said.
In its Resolution 1939, the Security Council called upon all the political parties to expedite the peace process and to work together in a spirit of cooperation, consensus and compromise. It also calls on them to take full advantage of the expertise and readiness of UNMIN, within its mandate, to support the peace process and to facilitate the completion of UNMIN’s mandate by 15 January 2011.
