1. “Mr. Al-Bader (Qatar) (spoke in Arabic): We thank you, Sir, for convening this open debate, the first of its kind in the Council since the Peacebuilding Commission started its work. It gives us a timely opportunity to review the Commission's activities and the best ways to support it. I also wish to commend and thank Ambassador Ismael Gaspar Martins, Chairman of the Organizational Committee of the Peacebuilding Commission, and Assistant Secretary-General Carolyn McAskie of the Peacebuilding Support Office for their efforts in a new field. We wish them every success in their work.”

2. “Efforts are still ongoing to help tens of thousands of people displaced from villages, who are benefiting from the assistance of UNICEF and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). OCHA is making considerable efforts to assist them by providing supplies and means for their subsistence. We hope that assistance from donors will continue, especially from the European Union. We hope too that the Democratic Republic of the Congo will continue to receive bilateral assistance or multilateral aid so that the Government might be able to consolidate the pillars for the new authorities, thereby ensuring progress for the country through the use of its natural resources for its own prosperity.”

3. “These factions were the Cobra Matata militia, the United National Front and the Revolutionary Congolese Movement. All of this means that it will be possible to reintegrate more than 8,000 men into the armed forces. We would like to say how greatly we appreciate the efforts of MONUC in the efforts currently under way and the agreements concluded with these militias so that the agreement might be consolidated. We also welcome the news that 60 individuals under the dissident General Nkunda, in South Kivu, have also joined the disarmament programme. We hope to have news that is just as satisfactory about the remaining militias. The humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo does not yet allow us to be optimistic, but rather causes concern.”

4. “We hope we can agree on that before mid- February, in accordance with resolution 1671 (2006). We wish to say how greatly we appreciate the role of the European forces (EUFOR). They have played a crucial role in assisting and supporting MONUC during the presidential elections. That considerably helped to stabilize that enormous country, which is faced with turmoil that continues to beset the country, especially in the east. We hope the situation will be stabilized when the European forces withdraw and that the new Government will be able to work with all the Congolese parties to ensure progress for the country. With regard to disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, we welcome the news of the negotiations among the three factions in Ituri, which is a step along the path to disarmament and the reconstruction of the country.”

5. “We hope most earnestly that he will be welcomed by the people of the country and that the President will be able to complete the formation of a Government that will fully discharge its responsibilities. The successful formation of the Government will help the Secretary-General to conduct fruitful consultations with the Congolese authorities on the future of the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) after its current mandate ends on 15 February 2007. There will be an advent of a new Government for the country, after all the remaining electoral stages have been completed and the Secretary-General has presented a report with useful recommendations to the Council at the end of the month so that it might take an appropriate decision regarding the future MONUC mandate.”

As we have all agreed unanimously, the Security Council will continue to deal closely with the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo even though the historic elections have already been crowned with success.

7. “New challenges have emerged recently in the area of threats to international peace and security, including the threat of terrorism. The international community must stand against such scourges, including the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, whose proliferation we must do our best to prevent.

In conclusion, we once again wish every success to the Secretary-General and his aides, and reiterate our support for and cooperation with the Organization and him.”

8. “That should be in line with the principles enshrined in the Charter regarding the maintenance and development of peaceful relations between States and the prevention of conflict. The Council has a great responsibility in that connection. We cannot deny the complementary link between development and peace, on the one hand, and human rights, on the other. In fact, the United Nations cannot confine itself to the maintenance of international peace and security; it should also focus on socio-economic development and the protection of human rights. None of those goals can be achieved in isolation from the others. The establishment last year of the Peacebuilding Commission and the Human Rights Council illustrated the interest of the international community in that regard.”

9. “The Council accorded this issue the attention it deserves when it convened a high-level meeting in September 2005 to take up the matter at the level of heads of Government. The concept of security has evolved over the years and become more comprehensive, broadening to include issues such as collective security and others that were overlooked by established concepts pertaining to armed conflict. Wars are not the only thing that threatens people's security. We should do our best to prevent conflict and to make peace. All United Nations bodies should work together to achieve that goal, and the Council should cooperate with other organs to achieve that objective. According to the Charter of the United Nations, the main task of the Security Council is the maintenance of international peace and security.”

Given that under the Charter of the United Nations, which established the Security Council, the Council's basic responsibility is to maintain international peace and security, it is fitting that the Council should comprehensively address threats to international peace and security. This is an opportunity to underscore the Council's efforts to deal with such threats. It is also an opportunity to examine new threats, for the changing world is subject to unpredictable threats.”
