“In this regard, we welcome the recent progress made in strengthening the strategic and operational partnership between the United Nations and the African Union, including enhanced collaboration between the Security Council and the Peace and Security Council of the African Union. United Nations support to the African peace and security architecture, including the African standby force and the 10-year capacity-building programme for the African Union, are essential elements of our common strategy with respect to the African continent. The establishment of the United Nations Office to the African Union in July was also a serious step, and we look forward to the full operationalization of the Office.”

“Today's debate presents a unique opportunity to follow through on our commitments and to translate them into concrete action in the African context, and thus contribute to the strategic vision of partnership between the United Nations and the African Union (AU). We are also pleased with the growing recognition of the fact that the African Union has various comparative advantages that need to be utilized in such a way as to contribute to international peace and security. The United Nations has recently assumed the important responsibility of supporting the AU's efforts to enhance its own capacity in this area.”

“Let me begin by extending a warm welcome to you, Sir, and by thanking you and the delegation of Uganda for convening today's open debate. I would also like to express our appreciation to the Secretary-General for his comprehensive analytical report on this issue (S/2010/514). I also wish to thank Ambassador Lamamra for his briefings and contributions. I also extend a warm welcome to His Excellency Mr. Ajumogobia, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Nigeria, and thank him for his contributions to this important debate. The Security Council, at its summit meeting of 23 September (see S/PV.6389), reiterated its commitment to strengthening its strategic partnerships with and support to regional and subregional organizations in conflict prevention, peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding.”

“We thus encourage an assessment of the situation in the transitional period until the 2012 elections in order to define the best format for the United Nations presence after the completion of UNMIT's mandate. In that regard, the Security Council visit to Timor-Leste next month will surely be useful, and we look forward to participating. On the other hand, it goes without saying that we should listen carefully to the views of the Timorese, as this quest for stability is a nationally owned process. Turkey contributes police officers to UNMIT and will continue to support the United Nations and Timor- Leste. I would like to conclude by wishing continued success to the Timorese people and Government.”

“Although the growth projected for Timor-Leste is impressive, the Government and the parties should be aware that further efforts are needed to overcome the political, economic and social challenges that contributed to the 2006 crisis. In particular, the high rate of unemployment among the youth is not only worrisome for the economic development of the country but continues to pose a possible risk to the country's security. Given the progress achieved so far, we are confident that Timor-Leste will eventually overcome all the challenges. However, that requires continued national dialogue and unity. We also believes that Timor-Leste requires ongoing support from the international community in its quest for peace, stability and prosperity.”

“In that regard, we believe that it is of the utmost importance that the Timorese Government - but also the police- contributing countries and donors - focus their efforts on building the capacity of the Timorese police force in particular and of State institutions in general. Likewise, we continue to concur with the Secretary-General's call for defining a meaningful role for the Timorese army in a peacetime setting. In February last year we suggested in the Council that the army could be oriented and trained to contribute to peacekeeping operations. Thus we are pleased to note that the Government has embraced that idea and that the UNMIT military liaison officers conducted a mentoring programme for Timorese officers. We believe that UNMIT and Timorese authorities should continue to work along those lines.”

“It seems, however, that there are quite a few logistical and training requirements that have to be met in order to complete the handover process. We carefully note the drawdown foreseen for the end of June next year, which will reduce the UNMIT police by almost 20 per cent - from 1,023 to around 800 officers. As conditions improve and stability continues, it is quite logical to start thinking about the transition period and the eventual exit of UNMIT. However, we believe that things should not be rushed and that UNMIT's mandate and force composition should not be further altered, as the 2012 elections will be a crucial test for the stability of the country.”

“The Timorese have wisely used this considerable stabilization by addressing long-term key issues, such as the adoption of the National Strategic Development Plan, the Justice Sector's Strategic Plan for Timor- Leste, and the creation of an Anti-Corruption Commission. In the same vein, it is praiseworthy that in 10 of the 13 districts primary policing responsibilities have been handed over by the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT) to the Timorese national police. We are also pleased to note that the resumption of primary police responsibilities by the national police (PNTL) has not led to an increase in criminal activity. We welcome the further progress achieved in the registration, screening and certification programme for the PNTL.”

“At the outset I wish to thank the Secretary-General for his report (S/2010/522) and his Special Representative, Ms. Ameerah Haq, for her comprehensive briefing to the Council. We support her efforts and the key coordinating role of the United Nations in Timor-Leste. We express our condolences at the passing away of Mr. Takahisa Kawakami. We welcome Ambassador Borges, Permanent Representative of Timor-Leste, and thank her for her intervention. Like others, we are very pleased to note that the security situation has remained relatively calm and stable. I want to commend that the Timorese people, Government and political parties for showing restraint and for their continued efforts at dialogue.”

“It must refrain from any provocative action in the city and preserve the status of Jerusalem, as required by the relevant Security Council resolutions. More broadly, peace in the Middle East cannot be attained without putting in place a comprehensive framework that takes into account all the different tracks. We call on all actors in the region to act responsibly, assume their fair share of the burden in the search for stability, and give peace a chance.”

“Turkey continues to support the work of the panel of inquiry and looks forward to the establishment by the panel, as soon as possible, of all the facts and circumstances surrounding that tragic use of force against civilians in international waters. There are once again serious question marks about the future of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. At this time of uncertainty, all parties must exercise restraint and refrain from taking steps that are counterproductive to the efforts to establish common ground and a basis for compromise. In that context, the major new settlement activity in East Jerusalem, announced just last Friday, is yet another step in the wrong direction. Israel must put an end to the actions designed to change the demographics and the social and religious fabric of Jerusalem.”

“The panel awaits a similar national contribution from Israel to proceed with the inquiry. On the other hand, the fact-finding mission dispatched by the United Nations Human Rights Council submitted its report, which that Council adopted by on 29 September (See A/HRC/RES/15/1 ). I will not go into the details of that important report here. In short, the mission concluded, based on a very detailed analysis of the facts, that a series of violations of international law, including international humanitarian and human rights law, were committed by the Israeli forces during the interception of the flotilla and the detention of passengers in Israel prior to their deportation.”

“Turkey believes that the hard-won peace in Lebanon must be preserved at all costs, and we will continue to play our part in a bilateral and regional context to defuse existing tensions. In this context, let me also reiterate our full support for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon. Turkey will continue to call for and strive towards the full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006). As concerns the attack by Israeli military forces on an international humanitarian aid convoy on the high seas, Turkey welcomes the fact that, based on the Council's presidential statement on 1 June (S/PRST/2010/9), the work of the panel of inquiry established by the Secretary-General is under way. In mid-September the panel produced its first progress report, after receiving an interim report on the Turkish national investigation.”

“The existing differences need to be overcome, and disunity must be made a thing of the past. We will continue to support efforts at reconciliation. The Palestinian people need and deserve a single leadership that incorporates all factions and is able to lend its full support to the peace process. The stability of Lebanon continues to be of paramount importance for peace and security in the region. Tensions have visibly mounted over the past few weeks. It is crucial that all of the actors in the political spectrum in Lebanon remain calm, maintain dialogue and be sensitive to all legitimate concerns. The Special Tribunal for Lebanon is an independent body established by the Council at the request of Lebanon. Its work should not become politicized.”

“On the other hand, according to all accounts, the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to be grave. By virtue of its illegal and inhuman blockade, Israel is directly responsible for an ongoing human tragedy that is unfolding day in and day out, in plain sight. It is a harsh existence where, for example, teenagers collecting rubble to make cement are shot at on a daily basis. Such is the sad reality designed and imposed by Israel. The international community must react proactively to the suffering that endures in Gaza. Turkey once again calls for the implementation of Security Council resolution 1860 (2009) and for the full and immediate lifting of the blockade. On a positive note, Turkey welcomes the recent progress made in talks between Palestinian factions.”

“If the Palestinian Authority is indeed Israel's partner in peace, then it must be empowered to assume its responsibilities fully. We welcome the World Bank's recent pronouncement that at its current pace and performance, the Palestinian Authority is well positioned for the establishment of a State at any point in the near future. For the Palestinian Authority to become economically viable, obstacles to private sector development and sustainable growth have to be lifted. Palestinians need to be able to use more of their land. They also have to enjoy their fundamental rights and freedoms. In short, as the base for a State is rolled out, the measure of occupation must be rolled back. In the meantime, the international community must continue to support the considerable progress already made by the Palestinian Authority in State-building.”

“That being said, this pause in direct engagement cannot last forever. Once again, Turkey, like scores of other States, calls on Israel to desist from taking unilateral steps and employing politically expedient rhetoric that undermine and prejudice the notion of a negotiated two-State settlement. That means first and foremost immediately freezing all settlement activity, including in East Jerusalem, with a view to giving direct negotiations a chance to proceed. For there to be popular support for direct negotiations and ultimately the realization of a two- State solution, the conditions of occupation have to be eased and a positive environment created on the ground that allows for the State-building exercise in Palestine to make progress.”

“Let me at the outset thank Mr. Oscar Fernandez-Taranco for his useful briefing. Last month, the international community overwhelmingly welcomed the resumption of direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Cautious optimism was in the air. There was even talk of reaching a settlement within one year. However, it unfortunately did not take long for the skeptics to be proven right once again. Despite appeals from all quarters of the international community, Israel let the moratorium on settlement activity expire. For our part, we still believe that this last round of direct talks can be salvaged. Turkey welcomes the decision by the Palestinian side to not withdraw completely from the process and to give ongoing efforts to find common ground some more time.”

“I thank the Special Representative for his comments. I wish to repeat that we are also thankful to His Excellency Mr. Zalmai Rassoul, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, for his participation in today's meeting, as well as for his insightful statement. We wish him all success. There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The meeting rose at 1.30 p.m.”

“It is in this understanding that we have organized meetings in various formats, ranging from January to July, including two summits and two ministerial meetings. In conclusion, the Kabul Conference was a beginning. Its implementation needs determined leadership on the part of the Afghan authorities and close coordination among the Afghan partners. In that regard, Turkey has pursued the most comprehensive assistance programme in its history, with various civilian and military capabilities supporting Afghanistan's historic process of transformation. Turkey's commitment to Afghanistan is long-term, and its assistance will continue as long as required by the Afghans. I resume my functions as President of the Council. I now give the floor to the representative of Canada.”

“Long-term commitment to Afghanistan in all forms required and requested by the Afghans should be emphasized. Transition is possible in an atmosphere of security and stability, which ultimately requires political reconciliation. This process should seek to embrace all segments of society under the leadership of the Afghan Government, giving them fair opportunities to serve the Afghan cause and enable their representation. Afghanistan can overcome the hurdles it has been experiencing only through enhanced unity and solidarity at the national level. We also firmly believe that an essential pillar of ensuring the irreversibility of the process under way in Afghanistan is directly linked to regional cooperation between Afghanistan and its neighbours. This is one of the pillars of the comprehensive approach, which includes reconciliation.”

“The Kabul Conference was a turning point in this regard. The Afghan Government and the international community should now focus on the implementation of the Kabul process, the most important message of which was Afghanization and Afghan ownership. In that regard, we are glad to see that the Afghan Government is showing strong political will to take this process forward and is drawing up concrete implementation plans. The international community should, for its part, be steadfast in its commitments and assist the Afghan Government in a manner that conforms to the conditions, priorities and requirements on the ground. As foreseen at the Kabul Conference, the phased transfer to Afghan responsibility should be led by the Afghans. It should be conditions-driven and should not be interpreted to mean an exit.”

“We are confident that the Afghan electoral bodies will keep up their good work in the weeks ahead. It is particularly important for the Independent Electoral Commission and the Electoral Complaints Commission to deal with all the complaints they receive in a speedy, impartial and transparent manner in order to ensure that reliable final results are announced in due time. The elections were a critical step in the political process in Afghanistan. With the elections carried out on time and, we hope, the results to be announced in the coming weeks after all the complaints have been dealt with, we can focus in greater depth on Afghanization, which is the second issue I wish to touch into. Ensuring the durability of the achievements made thus far is directly linked to cementing Afghan ownership and empowering Afghans.”

“First, on the elections, Turkey commends the Government of Afghanistan for holding the second parliamentary elections since 2001 as planned, on 18 September, in spite of the difficult security conditions, and we commend the Afghan people for their active interest and participation in the elections. We condemn all attacks and attempts to undermine the election process by violence, and offer our condolences for those who have lost their lives. The elections were another step forward in the consolidation of Afghanistan's democratic institutions and national unity. The holding of the elections was made possible by the determined efforts of the Afghan authorities and the support of the international community to this Afghan-owned and Afghan-led process.”
