  1. “It almost goes without saying that all such efforts require sufficient ongoing support by the United Nations and other international actors, including bilateral, international and other donors, as well as regional organizations. That will ensure the success of a reform process aimed at consolidating peace in countries emerging from conflict, strengthening democratic institutions and creating the conditions necessary for justice and development. Those high objectives indicate that ensuring that this process continues is of enormous importance for the promotion of human rights. I wish in conclusion, Mr. President, to thank your delegation for its efforts in the preparation of a draft presidential statement on this item. We look forward to its adoption at the conclusion of today's meeting.”

  2. “In such a process, the Peacebuilding Commission has an important role to play in ensuring operational continuity. It is indisputable that recognizing the sovereign rights of States and national ownership of the security sector reform process is critical to guaranteeing the success and sustainability of such a process. However, the contribution that can be made by regional organizations is yet another element in ensuring a coordinated effort, especially in view of the pioneering role that can be played by regional and subregional organizations, as they are in a better position to assess the optimum manner to deal with a conflict in their own region. That underscores the importance of consulting those organizations when formulating policies for security sector reform.”

  3. “It should, therefore, pay due attention in those cases to the particularities of the country concerned, in order to play an effective role in creating substantive circumstances that are conducive to reform. This requires, first of all, national reconciliation after conflict. National political forces must be allowed to play a principal role in drawing up the principles of security sector reform. In view of the fact that security sector reform may be a long-term process in some cases - especially when the necessary elements for State-building are not available, or in the case of prolonged conflict - the international community should double its efforts to bridge the gap between the peacekeeping operation and peacebuilding, when the State concerned is referred to the Peacebuilding Commission in the future.”

  4. “The overall objective of security sector reform is to ensure the discharge by the security institutions of their statutory functions, including providing security and justice for the people efficiently and effectively in an environment consistent with the principles of democracy, good governance and the rule of law, in order to achieve a state of laws. A suitable strategy must be drawn up and elaborated so as to respond to the national conditions, requirements and concerns in each individual situation, in order to strengthen national ownership of the reform process, since there is no single model that can be applied in all situations. The United Nations bears a special responsibility in elaborating a strategy for security sector reform, especially in countries where the United Nations has peacekeeping missions.”

  5. “It is our belief that security sector reform should be viewed in the wider context of building State institutions as a whole, specifically in post-conflict situations, and with a view to achieving a successful result for the reform process. The reform process must also be subject to the same requirements of accountability as any other public service. The State of Qatar believes that at the forefront of security sector reform lies stabilization of the security sector and the achievement of comprehensive political and economic development, including the establishment of an effective judiciary capable of upholding justice that will complement the executive branch.”

  6. “On this occasion, the State of Qatar supports the ideas put forward by Slovakia to advance the issue of security sector reform and recognizes therein an integrated, multifaceted process. Those ideas have systematically and pragmatically included the objectives of the reform process and the means needed to achieve it. Therefore, we will not repeat them here. The question of security sector reform is multidimensional and multifaceted. It does not fall within the purview of the Security Council alone. It involves several organs, both within and without the United Nations. The attendance of Her Excellency the President of the General Assembly and His Excellency the Secretary-General at this important meeting is but an affirmation of the magnitude assumed by the question.”

  7. “Mr. Al-Rumaihi (Qatar) (spoke in Arabic): It gives me great pleasure at the outset, Mr. President, to extend to you our appreciation for the manner in which the delegation of your friendly country, Slovakia, has been conducting the work of the Council, and to thank you for the initiative of holding this meeting on the maintenance of international peace and security: role of the Security Council in supporting security sector reform. It is no surprise that such an important initiative was launched by you after the efforts you personally exerted in various international posts in the past, seeking to draw attention to the major importance of the question of security sector reform.”
