Building on a \u201ctrajectory of unity\u201d that had begun with the Security Council\u2019s recent adoption of two important Middle East resolutions, Olof Skoog (Sweden), Council President for January, said the 15-member body would focus on issues ranging from Colombia to the Lake Chad Basin, hold a ministerial-level open debate on the maintenance of international peace and security and work to make its overall methods more results-oriented.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe have to make the best of the momentum that exists now,\u201d he said, referring to the adoption of resolution <\/span>2334<\/a>\u00a0(2016) condemning Israeli settlements on 23 December…<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On 17 January, the Council would hold an open debate on the Middle East, he said, noting that France was organizing a conference on the issue on 15 January.\u00a0\u00a0He hoped that the meeting, along with the Council\u2019s recent adoption of resolution<\/span>\u00a02334<\/a>\u00a0(2016) would trigger action towards a two-State solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr. Skoog then responded to a number of questions from correspondents.\u00a0\u00a0To a question on how the Council would follow up to the Paris Middle East conference, he said while it might be possible for the body to \u201cadd value\u201d with an outcome of some sort, it was too early to tell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To a question on whether the Council would pursue another resolution on Israeli settlements, he said the next step in the Middle East peace process was the Paris conference, whose outcome would direct the Council\u2019s quarterly discussion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
