Since his election in June 2020, President Bozkir has committed to the highest standards of transparency and accountability during his Presidency.<\/p>\n

Member States worked in close contact with the Presidency of the General Assembly in order to strengthen the accountability, transparency and institutional memory of the Office. Resolution 70\/305 on the Revitalization of the work of the General Assembly and its annexes, adopted on 13 September 2016, have been welcomed as a milestone and breakthrough on this process.<\/p>\n

On 15 September 2020, H.E. Mr. Volkan Bozkir took an oath of office in which he solemnly declared to truthfully perform the duties and exercise the functions entrusted to him as President of the General Assembly of the United Nations in all loyalty, discretion and conscience, and to discharge these functions and regulate his conduct with the interest of the United Nations only in view and in accordance with the United Nations Charter and the Code of Ethic for the Presidency of the General Assembly, without seeking or accepting any instruction in regard to the performance of his duties from any Government or other source external to the Organization.<\/p>\n

The President of the General Assembly is committed to openness and transparency with respect to the financing of his office. President Bozkir will finance his official activities and those of his Office solely through the United Nations regular budget and the Trust Fund of the Office of the President of the General Assembly (OPGA), thus increasing transparency.<\/p>\n

President Bozkir participates in the Financial Disclosure Programme, which helps to maintain and enhance public trust in the United Nations. President Bozkir submitted all required documentation to the United Nations Ethics Office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
