1. “The other victims of war are women and children, and the Council has a special responsibility to safeguard them and to protect their interests. Concrete measures should be taken to ensure a greater role for women in all efforts for the maintenance and promotion of peace and security. Additional efforts and initiatives should be put in place to end the targeting of children in situations of armed conflict, including the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict, in violation of international law. The Council should ensure that all of its resolutions regarding these vulnerable groups are fully implemented.”

2. “To restore its credibility, the Council should ensure that its resolutions, such as resolution 1322 (2000), are fully implemented. It also remains an urgent necessity for the Council to establish a United Nations protection force for Palestinian civilians. An area where the peacemaking efforts of the international community are being frustrated is the situation in Western Sahara. The Security Council must be vigilant and should not accept any attempt to derail the implementation of the United Nations settlement plan. The people of Western Sahara have suffered too much and for too long. They must be allowed to exercise their right to self- determination. This is clearly a case where the Council has to assume its responsibility to ensure that the settlement plan is implemented without any further delay.”

3. “However, in some cases the effectiveness of sanctions is questionable and they have caused untenable hardship to civilians. In cases like these, sanctions need to be eased or lifted so as not to prolong the agony of the affected people. Another criticism frequently leveled against the Security Council is that it practices selectivity in dealing with conflict situations. Unfortunately, if one looks at the continuing tragedy in the occupied Palestinian territories, it is hard to argue against such criticism. The military onslaught and economic strangulation of the Palestinians continue, with massive human rights and humanitarian rights abuses, while the Security Council does not appear fully committed to stop the violence and to find a lasting solution to the conflict.”

4. “While the Council's adoption of resolution 1341 (2001) is welcomed, this reaction from the Council is minimalist, despite the excellent conditions for peace. A question mark remains as to whether the agreed numbers of military personnel will be sufficient to effectively deal with the situation, given the size of the country and the enormity and complexity of the conflict. A further positive point is that the Council has shown continued commitment to cutting off UNITA's resources, which enable it to wage war against the Angolan people. In this regard, the extension in January of the mandate of the Monitoring Mechanism was welcome, but the Council also needs to take appropriate measures against sanctions violators. Sanctions remain a viable tool for the Council to enforce its decisions.”

5. “In that region, the root causes of conflict remain poverty and underdevelopment, and the Council should continue to further strengthen its coordination with regional and subregional organizations that have direct knowledge of the reality of certain issues in order to develop integrated responses to conflicts which address both peace and security and sustainable development. The Council was unfortunately found lacking in political will with regard to peacemaking and peacekeeping efforts in certain conflicts. On the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the peace process is moving forward at the moment thanks to the commitment of the parties to the conflict. However, it is our view that progress could have been achieved earlier had the Council not at times adopted a wait-and-see approach.”

6. “When the Security Council, at the level of heads of State and Government, adopted resolution 1318 (2000), it made a number of important commitments aimed at ensuring an effective role for itself in the maintenance of international peace and security, particularly in Africa. Principal among these commitments was the pledge by the Council to uphold the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, which should be respected at all times. This review, six months later, proves that, while some progress has been made, the Security Council still needs to be much more responsive to and proactive towards the challenges facing it today. Since the focus of this meeting is on Africa, I shall deal with that first.”

7. “I wish to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month and I wish to commend Ambassador Ben Mustapha of Tunisia for the able manner in which he presided over the work of the Council in February. I further wish to thank you and your delegation for convening this important follow-up meeting to the historic and precedent-setting meeting of the Security Council last September, and we thank the Secretary- General for his important statement this morning. Your initiative is further commendable since the United Nations is often criticized of being a talk shop, and follow-up action like today's can go a long way towards correcting that image. Regular review of the Council's decisions is one way to ensure that it becomes more effective in fulfilling its mandate.”

8. “This has been proved in stable countries. It is our View that a strong civil society in Guinea-Bissau will indeed reinforce the foundation of democracy. Finally, we call on the international community to help the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process and give every assistance to the United Nations Peace-building Support Office in Guinea-Bissau and to the Government of Guinea-Bissau to enable them to carry out their mission successfully.”

9. “Wherever he is and whatever he is planning to do, the loyal forces that nipped the rising tide of renewed instability in the bud must continue to turn the tide of history against him. He must be made to face the consequences of his miscalculations. It is important to realize that the remedy for political instability is for the State to make a conscious and dedicated effort to provide for the economically vulnerable groups, including the provision of land and other support facilities to the internally displaced persons and returnees. The system must provide free expression of dissent; its suppression is a recipe for disaster. To accept and value diversity and harness its potential by unleashing peoples' creativity in the pursuit of the common good will help maintain universal tranquillity in a climate of pressures.”

10. “The reappearance of General Mane and his military junta on the political landscape disrupted the political discourse in the country and the subregion at large. It is good news that the residents of Bissau who ran in all directions after renewed fighting have returned. It is high time for General Mane's followers to know that his leadership generates not hope, but doom, and that he will lead them not to peace and prosperity, but to chaos and perpetual destitution. All this can be prevented only if the international community continues and enhances its assistance to the Government and people of Guinea-Bissau. What is also disquieting is the whereabouts of General Mane himself.”

11. “Your colleague, the Foreign Minister of your country, while addressing the Security Council recently, pointed out that development assistance is an important aspect of your foreign policy and my delegation fully agrees, for we can confirm that because we Namibians have benefited from assistance which the Government and people of the Netherlands gave us during the difficult years of our liberation struggle. We continue to receive that assistance to this day. Therefore, when we make the plea today, on behalf of the Government and people of Guinea- Bissau, for bilateral and multilateral assistance without conditionalities, we are requesting your Government and other donor countries to understand and act upon it. Your country's voice and that of other donor countries on this matter can make the difference.”

12. “Further assistance in these areas is sought, without conditionalities attached that would undo the process of overcoming the negative consequences of the civil war and the culture of military intervention in politics. Your personal participation in this meeting, Madam, adds an important gender dimension to this discussion and my delegation appreciates that highly. Equally important, however, you hail from a country which understands the value of development assistance.”

13. “Since the reinstallation of democracy in Guinea- Bissau, steady progress has been made in the strengthening of democratic institutions, the resettlement of displaced populations and the consolidation of sustainable peace and economic reconstruction. That process has been acknowledged by the Security Council and the rest of the international community. The contributions of the United Nations system, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the bilateral donors are highly appreciated. In this connection, we welcome the participation of the Vice-President of the World Bank in this meeting and thank him for his very important statement. The role played by the Economic Community of West African States and the Community of Portuguese- Speaking Countries cannot be overemphasized.”

14. “Namibia is pleased to see you, Madam, presiding over this important discussion on the situation in Guinea-Bissau. We also welcome the participation this morning of the Secretary-General and thank him for addressing the political, military and humanitarian aspects of the situation prevailing in the country and the subregion in general. The presence here of the Vice-Prime Minister of Guinea-Bissau speaks volumes. Among other things, it is an indication of the trust and belief of the Government and people of Guinea-Bissau in the United Nations. It also demonstrates the commitment of the Government to the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and its rejection of chaos and anarchy.”

16. “Security Council resolutions are very clear on this matter. They make a clear distinction between invited and uninvited forces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is therefore incomprehensible to hear you time and again trying to defend the aggressors instead of defending the victim. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a victim of aggression. That is clear. My delegation is flabbergasted by the way in which your delegation and you personally, Mr. President, have been approaching this issue. I did not intend to say this, but I have the right to respond to what you said in your national capacity. Again, that there are invited and uninvited forces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a fact that you may wish to distort, but your distortion will not change the reality. I promised to be brief, and I have been brief.”

I wish once again to thank Ms. McAskie for that, and for providing additional information in response to the questions and comments of members of the Council. But, Mr. President, the usefulness of this meeting has been disturbed, to say the least, by what you said in your national capacity. I believe that you can distort whatever you want to distort, but the reality on the ground remains as it is. There is aggression against the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That is a fact; you cannot change it. There are invited forces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and there are forces there that were not invited. That is a fact, and you cannot change it, even if you want to.”

19. “It would be remiss of me to end my remarks without expressing my delegation's thanks and appreciation to you, Mr. President, for having scheduled this meeting. Since 1960, when that gallant son of Africa, Patrice Lumumba, was assassinated, the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have never enjoyed social and economic prosperity. For 37 years, they lived under the rule of the most brutal dictator, only to find themselves and their country being attacked and besieged. The Security Council must not and cannot abandon the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The illegal exploitation of the mineral wealth of the Democratic Republic of the Congo should not take precedence over the dignity and humanity of the Congolese people.”

20. “We are heartened by the outcome of the second Maputo summit. It is our hope that the United Nations, and especially the Security Council, will not be found wanting again this time. My delegation is grateful to all humanitarian agencies and organizations that are providing much- needed relief under difficult conditions. The safety and security of humanitarian workers providing that much- needed relief are therefore paramount. We are also grateful to those donor countries that have been providing resources for assistance to the Congolese refugees and internally displaced persons. We also wish to express our thanks to the European Union for its continued support for the needy people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Finally, we call on the donor community to respond generously to the forthcoming inter-agency appeal for 2001.”

21. “We in the Council must therefore exercise the necessary political will to address the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo if the humanitarian agencies are to effectively bring long-term relief to the suffering masses. The ongoing fighting is a great source of concern to my delegation, as it is not only a violation of the Lusaka Ceasefire Agreement, but is contributing immensely to the displacement of innocent civilians. Clearly, the parties engaged in the current fighting are taking advantage of the minimal presence of the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) in the country. We have no doubt that the presence of MONUC on the ground will act as a deterrent, that it will improve the humanitarian situation and thus prevent further loss of life, displacement and misery.”

22. “The international community - and in particular the Security Council, which has the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security - cannot and should not allow continued mass displacements and major breaches of international humanitarian law to persist with impunity. The perpetrators of such crimes should be held responsible for their actions. I should here like to emphasize the complementarity of action by the Security Council and by the humanitarian agencies in the field. It is clear that one cannot meet humanitarian needs while failing to address what caused the needs in the first place. In her last briefing to the Security Council, the outgoing High Commissioner for Refugees, Mrs. Sadako Ogata, made concrete and forward-looking proposals to this end.”

23. “The raging war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo thus vividly underscores the fact that women remain the worst affected of all groups in the avoidable conflict in that country. Apart from being killed, wounded or maimed permanently, women are subjected to all other forms of atrocities of war. Soldiers prey upon them, they are humiliated by being raped, sometimes in the presence of their husbands or children, and as a result of being raped they have a high risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. The burying alive of 15 Congolese women in South Kivu is still fresh in our memories. We are still awaiting and demand the findings of the investigation into this barbaric act.”

24. “This is evident from the briefing we just heard: there are thousands of internally displaced persons, and so many neighbouring countries are affected by the refugee flow. These generous neighbours have to carry an extra burden of hosting thousands of refugees. Some of them are least developed countries, while others have just emerged from conflict themselves and are making efforts to reconstruct their economies. Worse still, the situation could have serious repercussions for the rest of the African continent. As I listened to the briefing by Ms. McAskie, I could not help but recall the briefings we heard from the women of Sierra Leone and Somalia during the preparations for the meeting on women and peace and security. Their experience could surely apply to any women and children in a conflict situation.”

25. “Garreton, in explaining the human rights and humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, stated that in the east of the country there is no right to life. In our view, that sums it all up. Violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, in particular the deliberate targeting of civilians and their communities in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, must stop. The Security Council must do more to end the culture of impunity in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, especially in the occupied eastern part of the country. The war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has implications beyond that country's borders. It has devastating implications beyond the central African region.”

26. “In our view, our objective should be to address their situation by helping to put an end to this suffering. In order to do that, we must address the causes of the situation, which is the aggression of Uganda and Rwanda against the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We all have a responsibility to ensure that Congolese civilians live in dignity, like those in any other nation on earth. We are particularly concerned about the civilians in the eastern part of the country. The report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo shows a clear but sad picture of the humanitarian situation, especially in the eastern part of the country. At a closed briefing for Council members last month, Mr.”

27. “My delegation thanks the acting Emergency Relief Coordinator, Ms. Carolyn McAskie, for her briefing on the deplorable humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the most mineral-rich country in Africa, yet it has the worst humanitarian situation in the world. Indeed, Ms. McAskie's briefing only confirmed our worst fears about the immense suffering of the Congolese people as a result of the senseless war of aggression. My delegation strongly deplores the current state of affairs and the targeting of civilians. Today's meeting affords us an opportunity to reflect on the fate of those Congolese women, men and children who continue to be uprooted from their homes or who are killed and maimed, in addition to the women who are rape victims.”

My delegation reiterates the importance of the proposals in the report aimed at enforcing the existing measures of cooperation between East Timor and Indonesia and welcomes the undertakings already made in this regard. We also strongly encourage building bilateral future relations between East Timor and Indonesia, and efforts already under way should be expanded. I am glad to learn today from Mr. Vieira de Mello that the meeting of the Joint Border Commission will take place on Thursday. In conclusion, East Timor is well on its way to full independence, and all that is required is continued support by the international community. In the same way, outstanding issues, such as refugees, justice and reconciliation, can be resolved.”

30. “My delegation hopes that the recommendations contained in the report, as well as the undertakings expressed during the mission's visit, can be taken forward with the urgency they deserve. This is particularly necessary for creating security for the return of refugees and the return of humanitarian agencies. We welcome the repatriation of the ex-TNI reservists (MILSAS) and their families and strongly encourage more such group repatriations. The Government of Indonesia should be assisted in its efforts to receive the refugees wishing to stay in Indonesia, since this is an important element in solving the overall refugee problem. My delegation welcomes the considerable progress made by the Government of Indonesia in taking the justice process forward, in particular by arresting suspects and in passing the human rights legislation.”

31. “The full results of this process will, however, be most visible after the transitional process, when the new government will have to function immediately and fully and will have to cope with the many different challenges. My delegation supports an international presence in East Timor upon independence, in particular in the areas of development, security and law and order. It is important that specific planning be started as soon as possible. In this regard, we welcome the strong commitment made by donors last week for the training and equipping of an East Timorese defence force. The situation of refugees in West Timor and justice and reconciliation remain critical concerns.”

With regard to the performance of UNTAET's mandate, my delegation is particularly pleased by the Timorization process and capacity-building to prepare the people of East Timor for full independence. The National Council and Cabinet, together with the Transitional Administration, are now charged with the important task of preparing for the electoral process. Mr. Vieira de Mello deserves credit for most of this.”

I also wish to thank him for the useful briefing he has given us, as well as for the excellent hospitality and cooperation extended to the mission during our visit to East Timor. The report of the mission covers a wide range of activities of UNTAET and correctly states that UNTAET has made significant progress so far. It should therefore receive continuing support from the Security Council. An ideal opportunity to address some of the concerns raised in the report and by Mr. Vieira de Mello today would be presented by the renewal of the UNTAET mandate in January.”

Steady, albeit slow, progress has been achieved in areas of institution-building.
