Delegations discussed what these notes should contain, including objectives, rationale, activities, timelines, financial implications and review parameters, while emphasizing that they should stay practical and concise."},{"key":"mandate-duplication","label":"Avoiding Mandate Duplication","description":"Speakers repeatedly highlighted the need to examine the broader mandate landscape before creating new mandates. They emphasized reducing overlap and duplication and demonstrating the added value of any proposed mandate compared with existing ones."},{"key":"secretariat-support","label":"Secretariat Technical Support","description":"Several delegations addressed the role of the Secretariat in supporting mandate design and implementation, including technical drafting assistance, financial guidance and helping identify implementation leads. At the same time, some cautioned that this role should remain technical and not create excessive new burdens on the Secretariat."},{"key":"template-flexibility","label":"Template Flexibility","description":"Several delegations stressed that the draft templates and model clauses should remain indicative, voluntary and non-binding tools. They argued that mandate language must still be determined case by case, reflecting the diversity of UN mandates and negotiating contexts."},{"key":"benchmarks-indicators","label":"Benchmarks and Indicators","description":"Delegations discussed using benchmarks, quantified indicators and performance measures to make mandate assessment more evidence-based. The idea was linked to clearer targets, more meaningful reviews and better judgments about mandate effectiveness."},{"key":"system-wide-application","label":"System-wide Application","description":"Another topic was whether the templates and model clauses should be applied across the whole UN system rather than only in New York or only in the General Assembly. Delegations also sought clarity on whether the exercise is meant for future mandates only or has broader institutional scope."},{"key":"drafting-standardization","label":"Drafting Clarity and Standardization","description":"Many interventions supported clearer, more consistent mandate drafting through common structures, standardized phrases and simpler language. This was presented as a way to improve usability for delegations, strengthen coherence and make mandates easier to implement and review."},{"key":"mandate-review-retirement","label":"Mandate Review and Retirement","description":"A major theme was how to build review and retirement clauses into mandates so Member States can decide whether they should continue, be modified, consolidated or end. Speakers debated the wording of these clauses, including whether retirement language should apply only where appropriate and how to avoid creating new categories of mandates by implication."}]}}
