redress situations of violation of and non-compliance with the convention. A clear-cut and credible provision should be expressly incorporated in a CD/PV.549 5 (Mr. Elaraby. Egypt) separate and individual provision, the details and specificities of which may be referred to in relevant provisions, as currently demonstrated in several draft articles. The issue of sanctions will be one of direct cross-reference and linkage between the future Organization and the Security Council, which is the organ vested with primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. Confidentiality cannot be delinked from the issue of verification. We have not yet been able to solve the difficult equation of verification versus confidentiality. Trial inspections have had a role in demonstrating this fact. It is true that a degree of progress in the work on confidentiality and on the guidelines for inspections has been achieved. However, a comprehensive solution to this problem is not in sight. The solution to it should be in the view of my delegation well founded on the inviolability of proprietary rights and information. Challenge inspections are dependent, in our view, on the outcome of the work on confidentiality. It is highly sensitive and political because it affects the national security of each State party to the convention. The true test of the success of this device hinges on ensuring that no abuses are committed. On the organizational aspects of the convention, I wish to emphasize the role of the Executive Council. The size and decision-making mechanism should be determined on the basis of the limits of the functional requirements, that is to say, the rapidity of convening meetings and the ability to take timely decisions. All States parties to the Convention should have an opportunity to serve on the Council. My delegation, moreover, does not subscribe to any attempt to create permanent seats.
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the implementation of a convention, specifically regarding the verification and inspection of certain activities. The language used suggests a focus on international relations, diplomacy, and security, rather than economic development or specific sectors like agriculture or industry.
