“Those efforts should be carried out in the context of international measures to combat terrorism and also to ensure food security. In order to be successful in the combat against terrorism, global governance must be able to meet that challenge. There is therefore an urgent need for reform of the Security Council and ongoing interaction between the Council and the General Assembly on all issues of global interest. Before closing, we would like to congratulate South Sudan on having joined the family of nations, and we support the resolve of the Sudan and of South Sudan to seek ways to peacefully settlement post- referendum issues. We would like to close by calling on the Assembly to speed up the quest to find a balance between development and the survival of our planet.”

“We call also on the international community to support the operationalization of the National Independent Human Rights Commission that, in a positive step, was recently established in Burundi. 11-51191 24 We take this opportunity also to note that investigation commissions are at work to shed light on the assassinations that have taken place in various parts of the country. We hope that the truth about these events will soon be known and those responsible will be brought to justice. Our domestic situation is satisfactory, but we cannot but be aware of regional and international concerns. Thus the situation in Somalia, in which Burundi is deeply involved through its participation in the African Union Mission in Somalia, requires additional partners in order for the country to be stabilized and prepared for elections.”

“This is yet a further reflection of the commitment of the people of Burundi to peace, which should reassure everyone with regard to the viability and stability of Burundi. That act, while it calls for further vigilance on the part of us all, should not be considered to reflect the current state of our country; if should be seen as an act of terrorism — an isolated incident within the overall context of peace in our country. Such acts of terrorism, massacres and crimes against humanity are, unfortunately, being carried out in a number of countries, which makes it incumbent upon all of us firmly to combat them and bring their perpetrators to justice. We call on the international community to unreservedly condemn this heinous act and to assist us in prosecuting the masterminds and their henchmen.”

“On that dark night, a bloody attack took place in a nightclub that caused the deaths of about 40 people — children, young people, elderly people — of all ethnic groups, genders and political leanings. The Government reached out to the suffering people, paying the costs of the funerals and attending them. The Government also decided to provide treatment for all those who were injured during the tragedy, and a three-day period of mourning was announced and observed. We strongly condemn that heinous attack and have called for an inquiry, which should be concluded within a month. Thanks to genuine cooperation on the part of the people, who, having demonstrated considerable restraint, denounced those who allegedly planned and carried out the attack, we are pleased to say that we have made progress in the investigations.”

“To that end, community-level endeavours have enabled us to build more than 2,024 schools and more than 80 health centres and set up more than 2,000 pumps for the provision of drinking water — all of this in three years and without any external assistance. Numerous development efforts are being undertaken in several key national sectors aimed at enhancing the lives of our people, taking advantage of the integration of Burundi into the East African community. We regret the continuing security-related incidents caused by armed bandits, land conflicts and the presence of negative forces in certain areas of the Great Lakes region. We were shocked by the terrible tragedy that took place in Gatumba on 18 September 2011.”
2011-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 66 (2011)
“Furthermore, a disarmament commission has been established and the national police have begun to scout for weapons and confiscate them from criminals. In the area of development, Burundi is continuing its efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. The number of children is rising, as is that for teachers, because primary education is now free. We have undertaken a number of reforms to train our young people for employment. The Government has undertaken to bring together people in villages so as to ensure the provision of basic services such as drinking water, energy, health care, schools and decent housing, which facilitates reconciliation, security and job creation. This is in addition to free health care for children aged 5 and under and for pregnant women and women who give birth in public health clinics.”

“Today, the institutions that have been established are legitimate and have the constitutional duty to protect the people, ensure the stability of the country and promote development. Let us, however, have no illusions. There is still insecurity in the aftermath of the socio-economic reinsertion of former combatants. There are also ongoing problems with the transitional regime, along with a temporary decline in the economic situation of our people, which is traceable to problems in agriculture, climate change and a spike in prices generally and oil. We should not forget the fact that Burundi is a post-conflict country. In that connection, we are pleased by the surrender of more than 80,000 weapons, which people have handed over.”
2011-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 66 (2011)
“The examples referred to earlier, along with maintaining channels of communication, holding meetings with civil society and the process of implementing 23 11-51191 transitional justice mechanisms, are all additional proof of this fact. Burundi has opened a dialogue with everyone. We can all note with satisfaction, then, that a new chapter has been opened in the history of Burundi. Democratically elected institutions have led to peace for the first time. The people have decided what should be done, and there has been a peaceful transfer of power. I pay tribute to the people of Burundi for being able to break with the tragic habits of the past, in which the outcome of elections was not respected.”
2011-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 66 (2011)
“The process of consolidating peace in Burundi, with the support of the United Nations, led to the successful organization of the 2010 elections through a process of consensus and thanks to an electoral code that was published following consultations with all stakeholders. That spirit of dialogue in the process of consolidating peace, also allowed our parliament to establish an ombudsman position and an independent National Human Rights Commission. This same process has allowed us to develop a second set of instruments in our campaign against poverty, namely, the law governing political parties, new property rights codes, Burundi Vision 2025, a national strategy for democratic government, and the fight against corruption. Genuine democracy now exists in Burundi.”

“I should like, first of all, to associate myself with previous speakers in congratulating the President of the General Assembly at its sixty-sixth session and the members of the Bureau for their election. We would also like to thank the President of the sixty-fifth session for his work in presiding over the Assembly last year. We also take this opportunity to congratulate His Excellency Mr. Ban Ki-moon on his appointment to a second term as Secretary-General of the United Nations. That reappointment is vivid testimony of his successes in contributing to the promotion of international peace and security, human rights and sustainable development.”
2011-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 66 (2011)
“We think in particular of certain countries of the region, such as Uganda, Tanzania and South Africa, which were tireless godfathers in facilitating our peace process. To all those partners, we again say a big “Thank you” for the remarkable success that my country has just witnessed with the signing of the ceasefire with the Palipehutu-FNL.”

“Those Goals represent a platform that is particularly important for developing countries, landlocked countries and small island developing States in their efforts to combat hunger and poverty 06-52988 18 and to promote health and education, to mention just a few subjects. Other commitments were made in Paris and at the G-8 summit in Gleneagles, particularly for improved aid coordination and further aid and debt relief. Before closing, I would like to express our deep gratitude to Mr. Kofi Annan, the Secretary-General, and to all the members of the Security Council, the European Union and the African Union, as well as to all the members of the Regional Initiative that have supported our peacemaking and peacebuilding efforts, which have resulted in the achievements already seen.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“These include, in particular, nuclear disarmament, which continues to poison international relations. Other concerns are combating the illegal trade in small arms, poverty and epidemics that kill on a large scale, such as AIDS and malaria. We commend the international drug purchasing facility (UNITAID) initiative, which gives hope to those suffering from AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. It proves that a partnership between the North and the South can change the lives of millions of people throughout the world. The new millennium was warmly welcomed. World leaders place great hopes in this new time, as shown by the Millennium Development Goals adopted in 2000, which were reaffirmed in the declaration of the summit of heads of State and Government in September 2005.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“However, we welcome the successes already achieved and our increased capacity to control the situation. Our Organization is going through a critical period. Although the United Nations was set up “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war”, certain conflict situations have been haunting it for many years. It must therefore be made into an instrument at the service of all, able to inspire hope, dispel concerns and restore respect for order and international law. This mission must be fulfilled in full cooperation with regional organizations, whose effectiveness in conflict prevention and rapid intervention has already been proved, despite insufficient resources. The General Assembly’s agenda must reflect the main concerns of the day.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“Far from being discouraged, we must step up our vigilance and consider new initiatives to counteract this scourge and evil, and to deal with its underlying causes. Globalization is one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century, but we also see it as an opportunity for developing countries to benefit from the considerable progress and advantages that it offers, provided it is combined with openness and autonomy. For our part, we will spare no effort to make our contribution to building peace and prosperity. The election of Burundi to the Peacebuilding Commission is a source of pride and additional motivation to work to strengthen peace in our country and throughout the world. Unfortunately, changes in anti-democratic thinking and behaviour do not take place automatically in countries emerging from crisis, such as Burundi.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“We take this opportunity to welcome the electoral process taking place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is now in its final stages. We hope that it will be successful and that it will result in the democratic establishment of legitimate institutions. Similarly, we welcome the signing of a ceasefire between the Government of Uganda and the LRA, which we sincerely hope will quickly lead to lasting peace. We continue to be concerned over the continuing armed conflict in the Horn of Africa, Darfur and the Middle East, as well as by the deadlock in the peace process in Côte d’Ivoire. As Members of the United Nations, we must work tirelessly to end these sad situations. Terrorism is a further harsh reality that the world still confronts.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“The Government’s adoption of the five-year plan for 2006-2010 and the launching of a study for the period to 2025 are part of this medium- and long-term strategy for our socio-economic and political development. We have thus sought to establish for our society a plan based on a minimum number of common objectives and a shared vision of the future of Burundi and its people. We welcome the decision by the American Administration to put Burundi on the list of countries that benefit from the facilities offered in the framework of the African Growth and Opportunity Act. We have invited businessmen to organize themselves in order to take advantage of this new opportunity for our economy. Burundi attaches great importance to regional integration initiatives.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“We rely on the active participation of Burundi’s partners, both long-standing partners and new ones, in order to help Burundi respond positively to the many priority expectations of our people, who are impatient to enjoy the dividends of peace at last. 17 06-52988 At the same time, we are pursuing or launching other measures aimed at creating a favourable economic environment that is conducive to prosperity. They include liberalizing the coffee sector, simplifying customs procedures, liberalizing the circulation of currency through private financial institutions, constructing new communication routes and improving the road network. Furthermore, the investment code has been revised in order to encourage investment in Burundi.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“The Government’s efforts to alleviate poverty include measures such as reducing the price of most essential commodities, the abolition of some taxes, free health care for children under the age of five and for mothers who give birth in state clinics, and the fight against AIDS. A new status for civil servants and a 15 per cent increase in their salary from 1 July this year are intended to give them more motivation and halt the decline in their standard of living. However, our country’s reconstruction, efforts to counteract poverty and the relaunching of Burundi’s economy require more than an emergency programme. The preparation of a strategic framework for growth and counteracting poverty, covering a period of three years, meets this concern. We plan to organize next November a donors’ round table on the basis of this strategic framework.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“Aware of the general impoverishment of our people due to a decade of war, we prepared an emergency programme for the current year, and submitted it to donors for funding on 28 February. The programme covers in particular free primary education for all children of school age, counteracting hunger, access to health care, job creation, rehabilitation of the communication infrastructure, improving prison conditions and improving the management of public finances. In order to ensure the proper management of funds provided by donors within the framework of cooperation with Burundi, the Government has established a national committee to coordinate aid. With the same desire for efficiency, we have created a national committee to monitor and manage Heavily Indebted Poor Countries funds, budgetary support and debt.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“In Burundi we have taken measures in this area, and we hope that other countries going through a post-conflict period will follow our example. The Government of Burundi continues to have to deal with a significant number of vulnerable people. We have today nearly 400,000 refugees, 120,000 internally displaced persons and thousands of others who need to be cared for, including persons with disabilities, orphans, widows, widowers and old people unsettled by the war. Our Government needs help to deal with this situation. Since the recent ceasefire agreement, refugees have started to return to Burundi en masse. The Government of Burundi has also sought to improve the country’s socio-economic situation.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“This was behind the Government’s creation of the national commission dealing with land and other assets, whose task it is to settle disputes over the ownership or recovery of land and other assets that have changed hands during the various social and political conflicts in our history. Its work is an essential complement to that of the truth and reconciliation commission, with regard to which the Government of Burundi hopes agreement will soon be reached with the United Nations, because we are convinced that it will contribute to combating the fallout from genocide, as well as impunity in our country, and enhance the national reconciliation process. With regard to national reconciliation, we firmly believe that sport is a very important factor in peacebuilding and reconstruction and in achieving the Millennium Development Goals.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“Still with regard to the rule of law, in addition to the 5,000 or more political prisoners already freed, on the occasion of the celebration of the forty-fourth anniversary of national independence on 1 July this year, we decided to release undocumented detainees being held under irregular circumstances. Similarly, the Government has started to improve conditions for prisoners who have been properly sentenced. However, we are aware that much more needs to be done in this area, with the support of the international community. Establishing the rule of law and peacebuilding also depend on the peaceful settlement of the issue of land ownership.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“06-52988 16 With regard to promoting the rule of law and the rights of the individual, we are making progress through the reforms taking place in the justice sector and with regard to human rights, national solidarity and gender equality. The Burundi Government’s programme has placed promoting the rights of women and gender equality amongst its priorities. We urge the United Nations to give particular attention to this issue during its reform process. The Government also appeals for, and supports, a specific structure to ensure that women emerge from poverty and thus have genuine equality.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“The agreement represents a very important stage in the life of our country, which is now going through its reconstruction phase. The enjoyment of political liberties has become a reality in Burundi, whether in terms of political parties, civil society or the media. With regard to the media, a law has just been passed to create more diverse and more professional press institutions. We have also just passed an anti-corruption law. Measures to implement it include an anti-corruption court and a force to deal with corruption. We are convinced that they will allow us to work with more transparency in the management of public resources and in our fight against corruption. State income is increasing by nearly 20 per cent each month; we are already enjoying the benefits of this policy.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“Carrying out this task was made possible thanks to the deployment in Burundi of a United Nations force and the training of a new national defence force, in accordance with the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement for Burundi and the Comprehensive Ceasefire Agreement of Pretoria. So far, this integration has proceeded uneventfully, and we thank God for this. The signing of a comprehensive ceasefire on 7 September 2006 by the Government and the last rebel movement, the Palipehutu-FNL movement, encourages us to accelerate the programme for disarming civilians in order to establish peace and security throughout the country. Over the last three months the people have begun to voluntarily hand in to the authorities weapons they acquired during Burundi’s crisis. So far about 5,000 weapons have been handed over.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“It was a historic event in Burundi for us to have democratically elected institutions, which have just reached the end of their first year in office, the first time this has happened since we gained independence. This is a good time for us to report to the Assembly on the political, social and economic situation in our country and the efforts that have been made to meet the many challenges that the people of Burundi face. It is also an opportunity for us to address some of the issues of current concern at the regional and global levels. In the post-conflict situation that my country is going through, the first concern was to re-establish peace and security throughout the country.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“It is a great honour and pleasure to speak here on behalf of my delegation and to take part in this important gathering, where all the Member States of our Organization will consider today’s most pressing issues. I wish to express to the President, on behalf of my delegation and in my own name, our warmest congratulations on her election. We also congratulate Mr. Jan Eliasson on the effective way in which he led the work of the previous session. We also take this opportunity to express once again my country’s support for, and appreciation of, the excellent work of the Secretary-General, Mr. Kofi Annan, who has led our Organization with courage, lucidity and determination during his term of office. Burundi is taking part in the sixty-first session of the General Assembly a year after the setting up of democratic institutions.”
2006-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 61 (2006)
“But how can the people feel that the new policy includes them if their living conditions are not rapidly improved? That is why the support of the international community in this difficult period is of supreme importance. We make an urgent appeal to the international community to ensure that the level and quality of their commitments will respond to the insistent expectations of our population and to the new democratic changes.”
2005-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 60 (2005)
“Our Government has undertaken to develop a policy to make significant improvements in universal access to health care, and to implement the national strategic plan to combat HIV/AIDS, an essential component of which is capacity-building in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. The achievements of my country, particularly in the political and security fields, are important steps in the right direction. Nevertheless, they are only the start of a process that must be consolidated. In particular, we will have to resume activities to combat poverty and re-establish economic growth, two essential measures that will allow our people to reap the dividends of peace. The support of the entire population for the peace process and the programme for economic growth is essential.”
2005-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 60 (2005)
“That will involve the construction of 800 classrooms in 2006, the recruitment of 2,000 new teachers and the acquisition of teaching materials at an estimated cost of $15 million. In that same context, we will prioritize professional training, particularly in the agricultural, paramedical, technical and trade fields, in order to hasten the country’s reconstruction. By 2008, we expect to build in each province a technical secondary school with several departments and a capacity of at least 1,000 pupils. Increased financial resources will be necessary and we know that we can count on the assistance of the international community. In that regard, we support the innovative proposal of the French Government to find new sources of development financing by imposing a levy on air tickets. Much remains to be done in the area of health.”
2005-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 60 (2005)
“We wish to prioritize the 3 rehabilitation of social and economic infrastructure destroyed during the war and the reintegration of expatriates, internally displaced persons, demobilized soldiers and war victims. We also intend to attach high priority to education. Thus, when we came to power, we decided to provide free primary schooling to all children by the beginning of the 2005-2006 school year. That priority goal for education requires the development and implementation of ambitious and urgent programmes to train qualified teachers, rebuild schools and obtain new educational materials. For the period 2006-2008, we are planning for the construction of at least one primary school for each census area, totalling some 350 primary schools.”
2005-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 60 (2005)
“We refer in particular to capacity-building, the mobilization of domestic resources and the implementation of strategies to combat corruption, fraud and embezzlement. We will soon be unveiling a new law and anti-corruption squad. We are committed to fighting impunity, for we want to strive for impartial justice, not only by building our capacities in that sphere, but also by reforming the sectors involved in that issue. In that context, we request in particular the international community’s assistance in the urgent establishment of a truth and reconciliation commission. In the socio-economic field, we hope that the establishment of new elected, democratic institutions will lay the groundwork for robust legitimacy and effectiveness in our reconstruction and socio-economic development strategies.”
2005-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 60 (2005)
“Combating terrorism must include promoting a culture of peace. It would thus be useful to use the International Decade for the Culture of Peace to build the defences of peace in the minds of men and women, particularly through education, the media, faith-based organizations and cultural programmes aimed at children. Terrorism is also a denial of human rights. We therefore welcome the decision to create the human rights council to promote respect for those rights. The council will allow us to end the partisan bickering prevalent in the Commission on Human Rights. As to the reform of the Security Council and other United Nations organs, our Government supports the position of the African Union. With respect to good governance, our Government is committed to taking appropriate measures to establish good governance in all its aspects.”

“We are closely following and actively participating in the preparations for the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, now being organized under United Nations and African Union auspices, with the support of the region’s Group of Friends. We are one with our world village. Nothing that occurs there does not touch us. Threats to peace and security sneer at borders. We call today for an urgent partnership to combat terrorism. In that context, the general convention on international terrorism, once concluded, will be an innovative legal instrument in addressing issues that have yet to be regulated. We also need to stem the phenomenon of drug trafficking, which — with its many corollaries, including child labour, the sex industry and illegal migration — is transforming human beings into twenty-first century commodities.”
2005-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 60 (2005)
“In particular, we would single out the regional initiative, the United Nations Operation in Burundi, mediators Mwalimu Julius Nyerere and President Mandela, facilitator Jacob Zuma, the European Union, the United States of America, the African Union and many friendly countries, especially those that contributed troops to the peacekeeping force as well as financial logistic means. Peace in our country, like the lasting success of our democratic experience, is closely linked to the stability of the regional environment. We therefore welcome the efforts to restore peace, stability and sustainable development in the Great Lakes region.”
2005-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 60 (2005)
“Indeed, yesterday’s antagonists — the former Burundian armed forces and the armed groups arrayed against them — have been merged into new forces, known as the National Defence Force and the National Police of Burundi, in which all the country’s players are represented. That fact is rare enough to warrant highlighting. All of those profound changes have been made possible by the synergy between the concern of the international community, the courage and maturity of the Burundian people, and the willingness to compromise of the political class. We express our warmest thanks to all the international partners that accompanied us on our long road to peace.”
2005-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 60 (2005)
“At the Government level, one of the two vice-presidencies of the Republic is held by a woman. Women head seven of the 20 ministries, including in such important posts as justice, foreign relations and planning. Lastly, many women are working in provincial and communal administrations. Our Government cherishes the hope that this contribution of women’s talents to managing the affairs of State will help to strengthen democracy by giving it a warmer, more thoughtful and peaceful image. We are also pleased that the democratic spirit of cohesion and unity in diversity which has breathed new life into the political scene is also being felt in the institutions of defence and security.”
2005-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 60 (2005)
“The political parties have also accepted the verdict of the ballot boxes. In order to enable every opportunity for national harmony and establish democracy once again, we have just set up a Government of broad national union consisting of all the elements of the Burundi people, with its political, social, ethnic and regional diversity, a Government where women hold the significant position they deserve. We are especially pleased to note the genuine social and mental change represented by the entry of Burundian women into the political sphere. Today, women hold 35 per cent of posts in the executive branch. Their presence is notable in all State institutions. For the first time in my country’s history, 2 the National Assembly is presided over by a woman and two women are vice-presidents of the Senate.”

“Our country has just entered an essential phase in its history. In political terms, after more than ten years of war and a lengthy period of transition, the main protagonists in the conflict have agreed to bury the hatchet. Free, pluralist, fair and transparent elections were the culmination of this long process. Indeed, it was at the end of a genuine electoral marathon, involving local, legislative, senatorial and presidential elections, that the people of Burundi overwhelmingly chose the programme and candidates of my party, the CNDD-FDD (Conseil National pour la Défense de la Démocratie, Forces pour la Défense de la Démocratie), in calm and in dignity. This was an indisputable and undisputed victory recognized and acknowledged by all of the many foreign observers.”

“It is a distinct honour to address this Assembly on the occasion of the sixtieth regular session of the General Assembly of the United Nations, an important milestone in the life of our Organization. We would like to take this opportunity to express our warm congratulations to His Excellency Mr. Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, for the skill and dynamism he has displayed in leading our Organization. We would also like to pay tribute to his dedication to the cause of peace and to the interest he has always paid to the people of Burundi during their difficult times. Allow us also at this memorable time to express our profound gratitude to the Security Council of the United Nations for the resolute will it has displayed in accompanying the people of Burundi step by step in their search for peace.”
