  1. “Guehenno has a sense of whether the international community present in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina, will respond in any way to the extreme views that were expressed by Mr. Jelovie. Secondly, we would ask whether Mr. Guehenno has any more detailed sense of the likely timing ofthe presidential elections.”

  2. “Mr. Angel] (Canada): I wish to thank Under- Secretary-General Guehenno for his very thorough briefing. We join other members of the Council in expressing our pleasure at the positive showing of the non-nationalist, multi-ethnic Social Democratic Party (SDP), which received the greatest support within the Federation. We are concerned, however, at the continuing strength of the nationalist parties of each community and at the effect that this continuing strength may have on the implementation ofthe Dayton Peace Agreement. I have two questions for Mr. Guehenno, and recognize that it may not yet be possible to answer either of them. First, we listened very carefully to Mr. Guehenno's comments about Mr. Jelovie and are wondering whether Mr.”

  3. “We must also keep the pressure on Croatia and the Republika Srpska to ensure that they follow through on their commitments and take the appropriate actions to fully implement the agreement they signed last March on two-way refugee return. Canada will assume command of Multinational Division (South-west) this October on a rotational basis with the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. We are determined to play a strong role within our sector of command, particularly with regard to refugee returns and the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.”

  4. “We are encouraged by the fact that progress is being made in changing the composition of police forces to better reflect the multi-ethnic character of their communities, and we welcome the details provided by Mr. Miyet in this regard. We encourage the Bosnian authorities to cooperate fully with UNMIBH in establishing professional and accountable multi- ethnic police forces. The return of refugees and displaced persons to their pre-war homes is a top priority. The Bosnian authorities must implement fully measures likely to foster returns, such as the property law, and must cease to obstruct legal evictions. Progress on this front is critical in measuring the real commitment of Bosnia's authorities to a lasting peace within the Dayton framework.”

  5. “Mr. Angel] (Canada): My delegation joins others who have spoken in thanking Under-Secretary-General Miyet for his very informative briefing. My own comments will be very brief. Canada supports High Representative Petritsch's decision to amend the law on filling a vacant position of a Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This decision will strengthen the conformity of the law with the spirit ofthe Constitution and will help to ensure the efficiency of the election process. We believe that a coherent and integrated strategy is essential if the development of the rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina is to be sustained. In this regard, Canada commends the work and achievements of the judicial system assessment programme under the auspices of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH).”

  6. “It will provide Kosovars of all ethnic backgrounds with a legal recourse against the violation of their human rights. We hope that Mr. Nowicki will start his important work as soon as possible.”

  7. “We encourage UNMIK to continue to monitor closely media operations in the run-up to elections in order to maintain civil law and order and to protect human rights. As the close of the registration process approaches, we believe that all Kosovars have an interest in participating in the electoral process. Full participation is the best guarantee for all communities to be fairly represented at all levels of public administration and to contribute to the shaping of the future of the province. Lastly, we support the creation of an ombudsperson institution in Kosovo and welcome the recent signing of its regulation by Mr. Kouchner. This institution can contribute in a meaningful way to the implementation of resolution 1244 (1999).”

  8. “Pluralism will be promoted by the use of a proportional system with open lists. Representatives of smaller parties, groups or communities will stand a fair chance of being elected to office. The requirement that one third of all candidates on the top of the lists be women will reinforce the importance of equitable representation for all segments of society. UNMIK faces important challenges in organizing free and fair elections. The support of the international community is essential if UNMIK is to succeed. Efforts must be made to prevent violence and intimidation from being a factor in the elections. Ongoing intensive security measures are clearly needed in this regard. UNMIK's actions to ensure that the media refrain from publishing information which can reasonably be expected to incite hatred, intolerance or violence are also important.”

  9. “Mr. Angel] (Canada): I wish to thank Mr. Annabi for his very comprehensive briefing. We would like to add only a few brief remarks to what has already been said by others. Special Representative Kouchner's issuance of the municipal election law for Kosovo, which Mr. Annabi has spoken of, is an important further step towards free and fair elections in the fall. Self- government on the local level will give Kosovars a chance to elect the leaders who conduct the politics which affect people most directly. We are particularly pleased that, through extensive consultations with both local representatives and international organizations, the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) has decided on a system which will create optimal conditions for candidates to participate in local politics.”
