67. 我相信，联合国内部正在进行的将于 2019 年 1 月 1 日生效的改革将有助于加强特别政治任务完成其任务的能力，同时也使其对建设和平和保持和平的关注更加突出。正如我在关于联合国和平与安全支柱的结构改革的最初提议(A/72/525)中指出的，改革力求将预防冲突和保持和平当作优先工作，并提高维持和平行动和特别政治任务的成效和一致性。特别是，今后的政治和建设和平事务部与和平行动部将共享新的单一区域政治-行动构架，这将有助于更好地支持特别政治任务的工作，包括确保与在同一区域运作或具有交叉和(或)互补任务的联合国维持和平特派团之间的协调、协同作用和一致性。关于特别政治任务的供资和支助安排这一有待解决的问题，行政和预算问题咨询委员会于 2011 年就此提出了建议，随后和平行动问题高级别独立小组和审查建设和平架构专家咨询小组的报告重申了这些建议，我希望会员国对此提供指导。
67. I am confident that the ongoing reform efforts within the United Nations, which are due to come into effect on 1 January 2019, will help to strengthen the ability of special political missions to deliver on their mandates, while also sharpening their focus on peacebuilding and sustaining peace. As I noted in my original proposal on the restructuring of the United Nations peace and security pillar (A/72/525), the reform seeks to prioritize conflict prevention and sustaining peace and to enhance the effectiveness and coherence of peacekeeping operations and special political missions. In particular, the new single, regional political-operational structure that will be shared between the future Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs and the Department of Peace Operations will be instrumental in better supporting the work of special political missions, including by ensuring coordination, synergy and coherence with United Nations peacekeeping missions that are working in the same region or have intersecting and/or complementary mandates. With regard to the unresolved question of funding and backstopping arrangements for special political missions, on which the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions made recommendations in 2011 that were later reiterated in the reports of the High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations and the Advisory Group of Experts on the Review of the Peacebuilding Architecture, it is my hope that Member States will provide guidance.
