This Table supplements the Table found on pages 78 to 90 of the book which covers “Arria-formula” meetings held from 1992 to 2013 and which was compiled jointly with Security Council Report and with the assistance of former permanent representatives Diego E. Arria (Venezuela) and Colin Keating (New Zealand), as well as Baroness (Emma) Nicholson. 2 Abbreviations used in the Table include “SG” (UN Secretary-General), “SRSG” (Special Representative of the Secretary-General), “USG” (Under-Secretary-General), and “ASG” (Assistant Secretary-General). The full names for UN peacekeeping operations for which acronyms are used in the table can be found in the “List of Key Abbreviations and Acronyms” on page xvi of the book. 3 Co-conveners are listed in alphabetical order and therefore the name of the primary convener may not appear first.
