Introduction

The present publication constitutes the twenty-fourth supplement to the Repertoire of the Practice of the Security Council , 1946–1951, which was issued in 1954. In 2021, owing to the continued impact of the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020, the Security Council did not hold in-person meetings until 25 May 2021 and conducted its business following a hybrid model of work, alternating in-person meetings with videoconferences. In 2021, videoconferences, whether open or closed, were not considered formal meetings of the Council. While in-person meetings continued to be recorded in verbatim records, as customary, the statements delivered in open videoconferences were compiled in letters from the President of the Security Council, as further detailed in part II.
