The Security Council’s programme of work for November will feature two signature events, which will build on the “clear African focus” towards addressing threats against peace and security of the just-concluded Gabonese presidency, its President for the month told a United Nations Headquarters press conference today.

Harold Adlai Agyeman (Ghana), holding the Council’s rotating presidency for November, observed that the programme was designed so as to enable the organ to carry out its work while accommodating other competing international events, such as the twenty-seventh Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Sharm el-Sheikh and the Group of 20 Summit in Bali.
