Important matters pending for the Council include:
-
The Secretariat is still to respond to the Council’s 21 November 2007 letter (S/2007/680), requesting monthly updates on the process of closing down of UNMOVIC as well as a briefing on steps the Secretariat is planning to provide for the enhanced physical security of the UNMOVIC archives, in particular those containing sensitive proliferation information.
-
In its resolution 1327 (2000) on the implementation of the report of the Panel on United Nations Peace Operations (the Brahimi report, S/2000/809), the Council decided to review periodically the implementation of the provisions contained in the resolution’s annex. No such reviews have occurred in the past three years.
-
The Council requested the Secretary-General on 29 November 2006 (S/2006/928) to update the index to Council notes and statements on working methods. This has not been published.
-
The 2005 World Summit requested that the Security Council consider reforms for the Military Staff Committee. This has yet to be addressed.

On the DRC, the Council Sanctions Committee has not acted on individual sanctions under resolution 1698 against armed groups that recruit children, despite MONUC reports about the problem continuing on a serious scale. Nor has the Council resumed discussion of the issue of natural resources in the DRC, which was raised in its open thematic debate on the subject of natural resources and conflict in June 2007 (S/PV.5705).

The Secretary-General has yet to put forward proposals for the delineation of the international borders of Lebanon, especially in the Sheb’a Farms area, in accordance with resolution 1701, and respond to the cartographic, legal and political implications of the alternative path suggested by the government of Lebanon in its seven-point plan.
-
The Secretariat is yet to report to the Council on Kenya as requested in its 6 February presidential statement (S/PRST/2008/4).
