1. “The Partnership might even be applied outside the United Nations system and might help to improve the Organization's cooperation with other regional and subregional agencies involved in conflict settlement and in the promotion of economic development. Cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations is recognized in Chapter VIII of the Charter. Proper interaction among these bodies ensures not only better knowledge of the situation on the ground, but also a strategy that is commensurate with needs. In Central Africa, a region that has been continually afflicted by war and violence, urgent action is required on the part of Governments themselves, subregional bodies and the United Nations system, based on a strategic pooling of efforts to establish and build peace.”

2. “Mrs. Arce de Jeannet (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): The delegation of Mexico is very honoured by the presence of the various Ministers from the Central African region who have participated with us in today's debate on strengthening cooperation between the United Nations system and the Central African region in the maintenance of peace and security. Those Ministers' statements should be the object of thought and study for all Council members. The Strategic Partnership for Lasting Peace is an initiative that Mexico has been promoting in the Security Council with a view to consolidating the activities of the various bodies and organizations of the United Nations.”

3. “In the case of Angola, we are mindful of the tremendous effort still required, which should involve the international community and the donor community: without an adequate demining programme, especially for the transport infrastructure, any effort made in the areas of agriculture, human settlements or national reconstruction would be seriously compromised. Finally, the Mexican delegation wishes to pose a question to Mr. Oshima or perhaps to the representative of Angola. We understand that this week the National Assembly of Angola is considering the new Government budget. Mexico would like to know whether, in the restructuring of the new budget, priority is given to social and humanitarian assistance programmes.”

4. “In that context, we would like to know whether there are special programmes for the care of malnourished people, particularly programmes to care for children, since, according to information that we have received, approximately 30 per cent of the child population of Angola is malnourished. The Mexican delegation also wishes to echo the satisfaction expressed by other delegations this morning concerning the decision of the Angolan Government to ratify the Ottawa Convention on the total prohibition of anti-personnel mines.”

5. “If that is correct, then we would like to know whether the United Nations, in coordination with the various agencies in the field, is carrying out the planning necessary to ensure that that return and resettlement process is carried out in safe areas and with minimum basic services to ensure the survival of the refugees. We would also like to know whether the United Nations has any more precise information concerning the number of persons requiring provisions from the World Food Programme in order to survive this year. According to information that we have received, apparently there would be between 1 million and 1.5 million persons who would depend on such supplies.”

6. “We express this concern because, according to information received from certain organizations, some internally displaced persons who were living in Kuito, the capital of the Bie province, were forcibly returned to their communities when the basic conditions for subsistence did not exist there. Although the case of Kuito is an isolated one, which seems to depart from Government policies, it reflects the risks of premature and spontaneous returns. We would also like to know whether Mr. Oshima could confirm the information with regard to the number of refugees who will return from Zambia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Namibia this year and next. We have a figure of approximately 470,000 refugees who would be returning to Angola.”

7. “Given the information we have been given this morning by Mr. Oshima and other information we have received from various agencies and organizations, we are aware of the magnitude of the problem that Angola faces in terms of the return of refugees and the resettlement of internally displaced persons. We would like to ask Mr. Oshima whether regulations and norms for the resettlement of internally displaced persons are being applied in those activities. That is, are efforts actually being made to ensure that returns and resettlements are occurring voluntarily, with the provision of land, tools, seeds and basic physical and social infrastructure?”

8. “Mrs. Arce de Jeannet (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): Mexico appreciates the information provided by Mr. Kenzo Oshima concerning the humanitarian situation in Angola. We wish to express our great appreciation to the staff of United Nations humanitarian agencies working to assist the population of that country. Our appreciation also goes to the national and international civil society organizations working in this area, as well as in promoting human rights in Angola. Mexico believes that responding to the humanitarian needs of the Angolan population is the greatest challenge the Government and the people of Angola face in the current stage of peace-building and national reconciliation, requiring the decisive support of the international community and multilateral organizations, primarily the United Nations.”
