38 Compendium: High Level Review of United Nations Sanctions regime, as well as key states in the relevant region, to provide an important perspective on the sanctions regime. “Training” for incoming Council members, such as the Finnish Workshop (targeted at the senior leadership of incoming Missions) and the UNITAR Orientation Briefing (for the working level), generally provides only basic information on the Secretariat’s day-to-day support to the Chairs. The Security Council Report workshop provided a dedicated focus on sanctions but was not sufficient preparation for the role. During the HLR process, the Subsidiary Organs Branch indicated that it planned to introduce a phased process of induction for incoming committee chairs and their Missions which would consist of: (i) a general briefing on sanctions; followed by (ii) a specific briefing on chairing sanctions committees, including generic discussion of a committee’s work programme, documentation, and managing the recommendations of expert groups once chairing responsibilities had been allocated, (iii) a one-on-one briefing for each Chairing Mission on the particular issues facing its sanctions committee(s); and lastly (iv) a mid-term follow-up briefing, three or six months into the mandate. The briefings would include input by other departments and entities relevant to the committees’ work, and could also include input from the penholder of the relevant resolution, to provide a greater understanding of the mandate of the committee. The transition (“handover”) from one Chair to another was a process separate from induction. As one participant noted, inadequate handover between outgoing and incoming Committee Chairs could result in critical issues falling between the cracks, leading to delays in communicating outcomes of matters to interested States not on the Council. The consultations emphasised the importance of formalising handover procedures, including the preparation of a comprehensive handover note and a face-to-face meeting with the outgoing Chair. 30. The Council should allocate chairing responsibilities for incoming Members at the earliest opportunity following their election, to maximise preparation time. 31. Member States joining the Council should include a sanctions specialist to be sanctions coordinator for the Mission. The Security Council Affairs Division should support the sanctions coordinator network, to help coordinate work in the sanctions subsidiary bodies and work in the Council.
