  1. “I would conclude by saying that we are ready to work jointly with all of our partners to ensure that there is international support and the necessary strategic cooperation among all of the parties that are committed to promoting the peacebuilding processes and to achieve sustainable development.”

  2. “The World Bank is committed to cooperating even more closely with the Commission both in New York and in the field, with all of the resources that we can provide, and that have been requested, insofar as possible. We welcome all of the efforts being made by the Commission in order to create a more focused agenda that would lead to specific results for the benefit of the affected countries. Unfortunately, thus far, we have still have not been able to take part directly in all of the Commission's meetings, as originally stipulated in resolution 1645 (2005).”

  3. “But we must also work together with all stakeholders, offering the necessary holistic support for peacemaking processes and drawing up genuine long-term development plans that turn into concrete action on the ground. This is why we believe that the work of the Peacebuilding Commission is critical and should yield concrete results in the real world and in the field. The work of the Commission and all of our work will thus be judged not only by our work here in New York, but primarily by the concrete results achieved in the countries concerned. The World Bank has actively supported the work of the Peacebuilding Commission, with the main objective of improving coordination and cooperation of all of the actors involved.”

  4. “McAskie, we believe that the Peacebuilding Commission is a useful and effective instrument which makes it possible to deepen our engagement with the United Nations system and to continue to work together in a coordinated manner, responding to the needs of affected countries. It should be recalled that more than 16 per cent of the population of the world, a billion people, live - or rather, exist - in extreme poverty and are directly affected by civil war or are at high risk of being so affected in the very near future. The legacy of conflict is well known; it is a terrible legacy, and that is why over the last decade the World Bank has significantly expanded its conceptual work in the area of the reconstruction of countries affected by conflict. Our research has confirmed that security and development are inherently connected.”

  5. “It is a privilege to address the Security Council on behalf of the World Bank during this open debate on post-conflict peacebuilding. I wish to reaffirm the full support and commitment of the World Bank to the work of the Peacebuilding Commission, in all its aspects and at all levels. As members of the international community, we cannot afford to ignore the urgent problems currently faced by countries in crisis. It is our obligation to speedily provide the urgent assistance necessary to respond to the needs of those countries. In this context, we believe that the United Nations system plays a critical role in conflict prevention and resolution, but we cannot forget that after the conflict is over the work must continue, with support for reconstruction and the economic and social recovery and development of the countries affected. Like Ms.”
