“However minor they may be, they have a major impact on the subjective considerations which mould people's perceptions about security and give rise to confidence among minority groups. We encourage all countries in the region to try to find solutions that suit all parties and to restore the inalienable rights of all communities living in Kosovo. For its part, the international community must remain mobilized and speak with one voice to the parties involved in Kosovo to obtain the results we hope to see. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. The next speaker on my list is the representative of Luxembourg. I invite him to take a seat at the Council table and to make his statement.”

“Belgrade's opposition to the participation by Serbs in the Provisional Institutions of Self- Government has been a real impediment to the implementation and the attainment of the principal goals of the standards-before-status policy. We welcome Belgrade's willingness to resume direct dialogue within the working groups on missing persons and on energy. UNMIK should, for its part, also intensify discussions with the Belgrade authorities, because participation by minorities is the only realistic option for creating understanding among communities that are bound by a common history and by their commitment to a common land where coexistence is their only choice. Likewise, it is important for the Kosovo authorities to take a clear stance on inter-community incidents, which continue to taint the atmosphere in the province.”

“Therein lie the true challenges that need to be met in order to make Kosovo a multi-ethnic, viable and liveable entity where all communities can be on good terms with each other and work together for a consensus-based management of their daily lives, so that they can design, and have a future together in, a shared society. We believe that the Government needs to step up its initiatives to overcome the reluctance of the Kosovo Serb community to cooperate with the Provisional Institutions. The Government must promote constructive dialogue with the authorities of Serbia and Montenegro to that end. The Serbian side must be willing to engage in that dialogue.”

“We welcome the fact that there has been strict compliance with the Constitutional Framework and the rules of the Kosovo Assembly, and we commend the ongoing efforts made by the new Government to ensure respect for the consistent implementation of standards to stabilize the political, economic and security situation in Kosovo, as well as to reinforce the multi-ethnic nature of Kosovo. We encourage the Government to continue to work towards effective minority integration. We agree with the Secretary-General, who stresses that the Government of Kosovo will be judged on its efforts to build confidence among minorities without losing the confidence of the majority.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Benin. I should like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for having introduced the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). We particularly appreciated the objective technical assessment of the implementation of the standards- before-status policy. We have gleaned from what we heard that the situation in Kosovo is, on the whole, developing satisfactorily and that significant progress has been made in standards implementation. We particularly welcome the progress made by the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government in Kosovo since the October 2004 elections.”

“"The Security Council underlines that the issue of the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons must be addressed together with the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) process in the post-conflict phases. The Council recognizes that DDR is closely linked with the long-term peace and security in a post- conflict situation and recalls that a growing number of peacekeeping missions contain the DDR element as part of their mandate. In this regard, the Council stresses the importance of a comprehensive international and regional approach to DDR that is not limited to the political and security aspects of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of former combatants, but addresses also its social and economic aspects, including special needs of child soldiers and women.”

“In that regard, we support the implementation of the Secretary-General's recommendation aimed at identifying violators and adopting sanctions against them. In addition to those measures, which seek to reduce supply, particular attention should be devoted to promoting a culture of non-violence both among political actors and in the educational systems of the affected countries, because that would help to significantly reduce the demand for small arms. We are convinced that the combined efforts of the international community and the joint activities of the countries of the region will make it possible to stabilize permanently the affected countries and to prevent the destabilization of other countries that have thus far succeeded in preserving peace and security within their borders.”

“The international community's efforts to stabilize West Africa should devote particular attention to controlling the arms flows that converge there. We welcome the notable progress made in the international community's strategy. An essential pillar of that strategy is the integrated regional approach adopted by the United Nations in the area of promoting disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) programmes, taking into account military, security, political, economic and social aspects. That approach should be supported by sufficient resources to maximize its impact. Likewise, we fully support the recommended firmness to ensure compliance with the embargoes adopted by the Security Council.”

“The new programme adopted by ECOWAS in October 2004, named the ECOWAS Small Arms Project (ECOSAP), and the creation of a Small Arms Unit in the Community's Executive Secretariat, are important elements that reflect a renewed commitment to combating the illicit circulation of small arms in West Africa. ECOSAP is designed to promote, by strengthening them, capacities to monitor the illicit circulation of small arms across the borders of member States. In that regard, the experience of ECOWAS is also a specific example of mobilization to contain that phenomenon. We take this opportunity to make a strong appeal for greater responsibility on the part of countries that supply small arms so that they can help stem the phenomenon of the proliferation of such weapons.”

“Its management will be entrusted to a particularly influential organ of ECOWAS, the Mediation and Security Council in particular, which will lend its full authority to the new mechanism. Here, I should also mention the decision of the ECOWAS countries to replace the Programme for Coordination and Assistance for Security and Development (PCASED), established by the United Nations Development Programme in 1999 to support the moratorium, with a new regional surveillance programme. It is clear that the real impact of PCASED on the development of the situation has remained marginal owing to a lack of resources.”

“Two years ago, at the first Biennial Meeting of States to review the implementation of the Programme of Action to Combat the Illicit Trade in Small Arms, the number of illicit small arms circulating in West Africa was cited at 8 million. Today, ECOWAS estimates that number to be 15 million. However, that is not because of a lack of awareness of the gravity of the phenomenon and its repercussions on the stability of the subregion. The dizzying increase in the number of illicit small arms in circulation has taken place despite the ECOWAS Moratorium on small arms and light weapons. Quite rightly, ECOWAS member States have decided to transform the Moratorium into a binding convention to make the mechanism more effective. ECOWAS intends to complete the process of adopting the convention by December 2005 at the latest.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Benin. I, too, would like to thank Mr. Nobuyasu Abe, Under-Secretary-General for Disarmament Affairs, for his excellent introduction of the report of the Secretary-General on small arms. The harmful effects of the proliferation of small arms and light weapons are increasingly obvious. Unquestionably, such weapons help to increase the number of crises. They fuel and prolong armed conflicts. They also support transborder organized crime, mercenarism and many other negative factors that gravely jeopardize basic human rights and hinder the development efforts of the affected countries. Africa in general and West Africa in particular are affected.”
