September 2014: The Permanent Representatives of Egypt, Liechtenstein, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, the Republic of Korea and Switzerland have called on UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to include a reference, in his forthcoming synthesis report, to the importance of a review mechanism for the post-2015 development agenda.
In a letter of 9 September 2014, the seven Member States stress that “the discussion on developing a review mechanism goes hand in hand with the design and the elaboration of the post-2015 development agenda.”
The authors consider the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) to be “the key forum” for such a review mechanism, and say the mechanism should to aim to integrate the three dimensions of sustainable development and foster coherence and progress in implementation.
The letter is issued under Agenda item 19 (Sustainable Development) within the UN General Assembly’s Second Committee (A/69/380). [Second Committee Documents]
