The CND is an intergovernmental body made up of states rather than individuals. Decisions and resolutions are taken following the "Rules of Procedure of the Functional Commissions of ECOSOC".[23] Notwithstanding the rules of procedure, the Commission usually adopts decisions by consensus in the "Vienna spirit" that was by Yuri Fedotov, Executive Director of UNODC, described as "the willingness and dedication of all concerned to pull together to find joint solutions, even on the most difficult topics".[24]
