  1. “The illegal exploitation of natural resources and the other wealth of the country must stop as soon as possible. Above all else, the Congolese parties must embark on a dialogue in the best possible frame of mind and without any external interference. As the former Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Kamel Morjane, has stressed, the countries concerned must demonstrate firm political will and commitment to reconcile their security concerns and the need for regional stability with the basic need to restore the territorial integrity, sovereignty and unity of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That seems to us to be the only way to establish peaceful coexistence, cooperation and development for the peoples of the region, who have for so long been deprived of the peace and security to which they are entitled.”

  2. “My delegation welcomes the current efforts by the Secretariat and the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) to pave the way for a transition to the third phase of the Mission's deployment, a very important phase during which MONUC will require all the resources necessary to carry out the very complex and often dangerous tasks that have been assigned to it. We eagerly await the report on this issue to be submitted in the near future by the Secretary-General. My delegation will support any useful recommendations that the Secretary-General might make in this regard. The effective, full and speedy withdrawal of foreign forces from the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo also remains essential.”

  3. “However, we hope that the Secretary-General's visit, which will include the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, will make it possible to re- establish direct contact between the leaders of those two countries, and that it will mark the beginning of true cooperation towards a political framework, something that is essential to implementing the DDRRR programme. As the Secretary-General stated at our meeting on 24 July, the peace process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is not yet irreversible. Major challenges remain for the United Nations and for the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Ngongi - whom we take this opportunity to wish every success. The challenges facing him and the United Nations - both the Secretariat and the Security Council - are daunting.”

  4. “The disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and repatriation or resettlement (DDRRR) of armed groups remains the core issue and will determine progress in other areas. This is a fact that the Secretary-General pointed out to the Council on 24 July. We are disappointed that little real action has been taken to date in this area. In that regard, my delegation wishes to state that it would have preferred that the initiative by the representatives of countries members of the Council with Presidents Kabila and Kagame on the DDRRR programme had been more conclusive.”

  5. “However, it must be recognized that the restoration of peace and stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo does not depend solely on the inter-Congolese dialogue, however crucial it is to achieving that objective. We welcome the progress reported today in the area of disengagement and redeployment. We also congratulate Namibia and Uganda on the action they have taken to honour their commitments. But all parties must honour the entirety of the commitments they made in the Lusaka Agreement, the Kampala disengagement plan and the Harare sub-plans. They must also fully abide by the resolutions of the Security Council. Kisangani must be demilitarized in keeping with resolution 1304 (2000). In that regard, the Rassemblement congolais pour la democratic (RDC-G) must meet the Council's demands without precondition or delay.”

  6. “We hope that that meeting will provide an opportunity for the Council to identify specific ways and means of supporting and encouraging the dialogue and to make the dynamic of inter-Congolese peace and reconciliation irreversible. I would like also to congratulate the Irish delegation on its initiative in convening the Political Committee when Ireland holds the presidency of the Council in October. We believe that these successive meetings will enable the international community and the Security Council to shoulder their respective responsibilities towards the Congolese people and towards the other peoples and countries of the Great Lakes region.”

  7. “All parties are therefore urged to take concrete measures to ensure that the dialogue reaches its ultimate goal, which is the achievement of lasting peace and true national reconciliation. The Security Council must support this endeavour and encourage the parties to embark on this dialogue in the same spirit that prevailed in Gaborone. That was in fact the recommendation made by the Secretary-General when he spoke to the press through his spokesperson, in response to this important development. The Security Council must also continue to follow this matter very closely. Here, I welcome the initiative of the French delegation to organize next week, when France holds the presidency of the Security Council for September, a meeting with Sir Ketumile Masire, the facilitator of the inter-Congolese dialogue.”

  8. “Ms. Achouri (Tunisia) (spoke in French): As all the speakers before me have done, I too wish to thank Mr. Hedi Annabi for the excellent briefing he delivered. It was rich in information and full of good news on the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. His briefing focused in particular on recent important developments since our meeting on 24 July. I am referring especially to the decision taken at the preparatory meeting of the inter-Congolese dialogue in Addis Ababa to begin the dialogue next October at Addis Ababa. That agreement seems to signal a decisive turning point in the peace process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and to augur a positive outcome for the conflict in that country.”

  9. “Therefore, it is incumbent on the international community to show solidarity with the peoples of Ethiopia and Eritrea by providing the assistance required, particularly financial assistance, in order to cope with the acute humanitarian needs described in the Secretary-General's report, which call for urgent action.”

  10. “In this regard, my delegation welcomes the fact that the Secretary-General has provided for a mine action assistance programme and the establishment of a demining coordination centre at UNMEE headquarters. We believe this programme must be implemented as a priority, given the danger the presence of mines poses to the civilian population and the obstacles it will pose to the deployment and proper operation of the Mission. Finally, I wish to conclude by emphasizing that the peace process that has been undertaken cannot fully succeed unless the humanitarian situation in the two countries is not immediately redressed.”

  11. “Moreover, we welcome the coordination mechanism established between the United Nations and the Organization of African Unity (OAU), which will likely enhance the effectiveness of their respective endeavours in assisting these two countries to implement the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities and prepare the way for a lasting settlement of the dispute. The deployment of the expanded United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea is vitally important in terms of promoting the comprehensive and lasting peaceful settlement of the dispute between the two parties, which we are all most anxious to see. Thus, we must make available to the Mission all the means it requires to do its job effectively.”

  12. “The relevant proposals presented by the Secretary-General in this regard, which we fully endorse, call for diligent action on the part of the Council in order to speed up the implementation of the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities and thus facilitate the rapid conclusion of a comprehensive and final agreement between the two parties. The Council should also authorize, as early as possible, the expansion of the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea and its deployment to the region. In this respect, we encourage the two parties to maintain their positive attitude by cooperating fully with the United Nations Mission and to continue proximity talks in a sustained manner under United Nations auspices on the subject of border demarcation and delimitation.”

  13. “My delegation wishes to take this opportunity to express once again its deep appreciation for the positive attitude of the two parties, as shown by their commitment to constructive means of settling their dispute. By signing the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities, the two parties have demonstrated they are resolved to secure by peaceful means a lasting peace, which will guarantee the peoples of the two countries the conditions necessary for their well-being. This quest for peace should be encouraged and promoted by all parties concerned, in particular by the Security Council, which has played an active role in the effort to bring about a peaceful settlement to the dispute.”

  14. “Ms. Achouri (Tunisia) (spoke in French): I wish at the outset to thank you, Mr. President, for having organized this meeting, and to thank Mr. Bernard Miyet for his introduction of the Secretary-General's report before us. In this regard, allow me to express my delegation's satisfaction with the clarity of the proposals contained in this report on the suggested structure and concept of operations for the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE). We are also grateful to the Secretary-General for his diligence in planning this Mission, which, we are confident, will have a very positive effect in normalizing the situation between the two countries concerned and will help ensure conditions favourable to the establishment of lasting peace in the region.”
