Arria-Formula is named after Ambassador Diego Arria, Permanent Representative of Venezuela, who, as the representative of Venezuela on the Council (1992-1993), initiated the practice in 1992. The “Arria-formula meetings” are very informal, confidential gatherings which enable Security Council members to have a frank and private exchange of views with persons from invited UN member states, organizations and individuals. No media is invited. No meeting record is taken.
