july 2024, comparing the Rev. 2 of chapter 2 on international peace and security to the zero draft and Rev. 1
Lead author: Jebilson Raja Joslin
The co-facilitators of the Summit of the Future, Germany and Namibia, released the zero-draft of the Pact for the Future on 26 January 2024, which was meant to serve as a starting point for intergovernmental negotiations. The Rev. 1 and Rev. 2 of the Pact for the Future was released on 14 May 2024 and 17 July, respectively, following extensive deliberations as part of First, Second and Third Readings. This ICH bulletin #45 compares the Rev. 2 of Ch. 2 on International Peace and Security to the Rev. 1 and the zero-draft.
The Rev. 2 has added 3 more Actions on the International Court of Justice, Youth, Peace, and Security, and Maritime Safety and Security. The Rev. 2 gives stronger emphasis on partnerships with regional and sub-regional organizations to prevent and resolve conflicts but has removed the Rev. 1 language encouraging the SG to convene an annual high-level meeting with relevant regional organizations. Nuclear weapon free zones has been given significant emphasis now. The Rev. 1 request to the SG to present options for a multilateral accountability mechanism to support adherence to responsible State behaviour in the use of ICTs has been dropped in Rev. 2
This and more on all the changes, deletions and additions in the Rev. 2 in the following ICH Bulletin.
