“Smith, who, through a broad-ranging process of consultations with the membership of the Organization, has recommended a number of modifications to the organizational plan and to the working methods of the Executive Directorate. It is important for the Executive Directorate to maintain this approach of organizing consultations with the membership whenever it takes action. Among the proposed changes, we would like to single out the following: the format of visits, the intention of the Executive Directorate to participate more actively in the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force and the internal reorganization of the Directorate.”

“Mr. Arias (Panama) (spoke in Spanish): First and foremost, Mr. President, allow me to thank you, personally, and the delegation of the Russian Federation for convening this important open debate on the renewal and updating of the mandate of the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED). In turn, I would like to thank Ambassador Mike Smith for his detailed briefing on the review and suggestions regarding the organizational plan and working methods of the Executive Directorate. I would like to start by indicating that, in the opinion of my delegation, the success of the efforts of the United Nations in the fight against terrorism will largely depend on the acceptance of these efforts by the Member States and their cooperation in them. Therefore, Panama welcomes the process launched by Mr.”

“The future of the country must, of course, be in the hands of the people of Afghanistan themselves, as was pointed out very clearly and accurately by the Ambassador of Italy, but UNAMA can and must assume a more proactive role in coordination efforts aimed at building and securing a viable State in Afghanistan. Both the United Nations and the international forces must step up their efforts to improve cooperation mechanisms among themselves. They must also strengthen the able and responsible management of the Afghan leadership. For this reason, we support the extension of the UNAMA mandate until March 2009, with a greater and more energetic coordinating role for the United Nations in the efforts to rebuild the country and to improve its security situation.”

“Decisions that prioritize swift results rather than long-term improvements, both in the institutional and security sectors, could be risky as they can undermine the attention and resources that are directed towards suppressing the insurgency. Furthermore, unilaterally pushing for non- consensual policies does not help to generate coordinated strategies and also undermines the will of the people of Afghanistan to rebuild their country and to play an active role in this reconstruction. This lack of coordination and promotion of shared objectives represents a serious obstacle to multilateralism, which is the very foundation of our institution. Lastly, we understand that, in order to bring more consistency to the efforts of the international community in Afghanistan, we need a more energetic leadership from UNAMA.”

“This reflects the daunting challenge represented by the establishment of a viable and peaceful State in a country that, in recent decades, has only known war and intolerance. However, we wonder if the growing obstacles that the international community is facing in Afghanistan are not the result of the lack of coordination and determination on the part of those who are in charge of assisting in its reconstruction. This could be making it difficult for them to tackle the roots of the conflict. For example, we are disappointed to see that member States of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the organization in charge of security in Afghanistan, offer diverging strategies to stabilize the country.”

“Mr. Arias (Panama) (spoke in Spanish): First of all, let me thank Jean-Marie Guehenno, Under- Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, for the briefing he has provided us this morning. We would also like to express our gratitude for the efforts by Mr. Tom Koenigs, former Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), as well as his entire staff. We are aware of the important role that UNAMA has played in the reconstruction of Afghanistan and that it why we would like to wish every success to Mr. Kai Eide in his new post as Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the Mission. Since the latest report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Afghanistan, the news that has reached us has not been very encouraging.”

“The experience of Panama and Costa Rica runs counter to such a trend. Lastly, allow me to repeat that this Council should demonstrate its commitment to Timor-Leste through efforts to deal with problems and projects in a cross-cutting manner. In the various areas of its mandate it should be both flexible and robust and should present clear goals, sufficient to allow the Secretariat, as our executive body, to draft clear, verifiable and immediate goals and eventually to prepare procedures for an orderly and successful withdrawal. I cannot end without expressing our recognition of the irreplaceable leadership work carried out by President Ramos-Horta and Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao and expressing our hopes for a speedy recovery to President Ramos-Horta. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

“Today, more than ever, it is clear that the priorities of UNMIT's future mandate should include not just the maintenance of peace and security but also should attend to political, institutional, humanitarian, human rights and sustainability aspects, because without them, peace and security will remain elusive. Consolidating dialogue and reconciliation, deepening reform of the justice and security sectors, resolving the problem of internally displaced persons and promoting economic development are among the various factors that must be dealt with. In that context, allow me to support and echo the statements of Ambassador Urbina of Costa Rica on the need to build capacity and not dependence. He warned in particular about the need to strengthen the armed forces in Timor-Leste as a matter requiring very careful consideration.”

“In the post-war world that goal of maintaining peace meant peace between States. However, a constitutive charter - and the United Nations Charter is one - should develop in keeping with the needs of the times, or it ceases to be a living document and may well become a dead letter. The Charter should, moreover, be interpreted as a whole. Its principles include protection of human rights and promotion of development. The concepts of peace and security should therefore be interpreted as something more than just the absence of war or armed conflict. The experience of Timor-Leste is an example of the importance of this conceptual evolution as regards peacekeeping. UNMIT is not the first time that the United Nations has sought to tackle problems in that region.”

“However, despite the calm that has prevailed in Timor-Leste following the recent attacks against two high representatives of the legitimate institutions, the attacks show that a long road remains to be travelled to address and remedy the causes of the conflict. We note, furthermore, that in recent years the members of the Council have acknowledged the wide range of activities required to achieve these ends, many of which do not fall within the traditional concept of peacekeeping. This is a good time to recognize that fact. The Charter of the United Nations lays down, as one the Organization's purposes, the maintenance of international peace and security and grants to the Security Council the prime responsibility for that function. At the time, the immediate concern of the authors of the Charter was disputes between States.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Panama. I would like to begin by thanking Under- Secretary-General Guehenno for his briefing. My thanks go also to the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT), represented by Mr. Atul Khare, for its efforts, and to South Africa for its interest, reflected in a variety of actions. The concern and endeavours of Australia, Indonesia and other countries of the region during these difficult times for Timor-Leste are also to be acknowledged. Today, we recognize the progress made by Timor- Leste and UNMIT in 2007. The report of the Secretary- General (S/2008/26) highlights, among other things, the holding of elections, the security sector reform and the building of democratic institutions. We could list other areas of progress.”

“We feel compelled to refer to Security Council resolution 1244 (1999). However much we attempt to gloss over the fact, its mandate has been overtaken by the realities that we see today. This is undeniable, as is the fact that when it was adopted, unlike other mandates of the Security Council, no deadline was set. That, to a considerable degree, was the reason why Council members were not able to agree on how to adjust the mandate as circumstances required. Let this be a lesson to us so that in the future all Council resolutions will have a clear deadline, so that the deadlines, instead of simply being extended, will be modified and readjusted to bring them into consistency with the realities they are trying to affect. I now resume my duties as President. I now give the floor to the President of Serbia, Mr. Tadie, at his request.”

“Nevertheless, we must not and we cannot forget that Kosovo enjoyed an autonomy very much like the autonomy of the old republics of greater Yugoslavia, and an attempt was made to deprive it of that autonomy; that Kosovo has been administered for over eight years by the United Nations under a regime of growing self-government; and that a significant majority of the Governments in the region have expressed the intention to recognize Kosovo's declaration of independence. This being so, we appeal to the European Union, and particularly to the countries that have supported the declaration of independence of Kosovo, to make sure that today's political secession is soon resolved within that Union through the prompt incorporation of both Serbia and Kosovo within that regional organization.”

“This is why we appeal to the leadership in Serbia and in Kosovo to rise above past conflicts, to recognize reality and to seek, however difficult this may be, the necessary mechanisms to bring about peaceful coexistence among their inhabitants and with their neighbouring countries. In this context, we have taken note of the declarations of the parties about not using violence as a way to defend interests or resolve differences. At another level, Panama has always been concerned, and has stated this before, that what occurred in Kosovo should not be used as an example in other situations that appear to be similar.”

“We regret that that did not take place, but we accept that events have created a new reality, which several States, in particular in Europe, accept as valid. Looking at this socio-political reality, we must all give priority to developing peaceful coexistence among human beings, over and above geo-political interests. Such peaceful coexistence is particularly important in a globalized world where traditional physical borders are increasingly less important; a world where the circulation of goods, ideas and people is more intense every day; a world in which, although some still try to deny it, we cannot live without each other. This is why the United Nations now promotes important initiatives to bring about understanding, rapprochement and cooperation among diverse cultures, ethnic groups and religions.”

At the outset, allow me to welcome the President of Serbia, Mr. Boris Tadic', and his Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Vuk Jeremie. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his presence at this most important meeting of the Security Council. Regarding the topic before us, which focuses on Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence, we reiterate that Panama would always have preferred for the parties to reach a negotiated way to resolve their differences. Such outcomes are of particular value if we compare what has taken place with the requirements of the times we live in. The time for thinking about secession is behind us, and the emphasis is now on finding options involving multi-ethnic and regional integration.”
