“While the struggle against those evils is certainly the primary responsibility of the States of the region, it nonetheless presents a challenge to the international community as a whole. The countries of the region cannot win their battle against the illicit traffic in small arms and light weapons or the use of mercenaries without the assistance of external partners. The problem of refugees, the reintegration of former combatants, the resettlement of displaced persons and youth unemployment all require significant resources, and their resolution is bound up with the establishment of conditions conducive to sustainable economic development. The challenges facing West Africa are difficult, but they are not insurmountable provided the development partners demonstrate political will.”

“Moreover, the strengthening of the United Nations Office for West Africa has allowed it to play its full role in designing policies and coordinating their implementation on the ground. Much has been said of the importance of addressing the problems associated with disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and repatriation or resettlement programmes in the context of a regional perspective. While the relevance of such an approach is self-evident, its practical implementation is no easy matter. We must therefore pursue and expand our thinking about the possibilities of designing and implementing regional plans of action. Cross-border problems are complex in nature and must be tackled as part of an integrated and multidimensional approach.”

“One important aspect of such assistance is, quite clearly, reform of the security sector, which bears the difficult and delicate task of combating illicit trafficking in weapons, the recruitment and use of child soldiers, the monitoring of arms embargoes, and border control and security, among other things. Support for local actors also involves the provision of technical assistance in the harmonization of the legislative framework at the subregional level, which is vital in order to address cross-border issues effectively and in a coordinated manner. It goes without saying that harmonization should also involve United Nations-sponsored missions and programmes. Significant efforts have already been made to improve cooperation and coordination among the United Nations peace missions in the subregion.”

“The launch of regional policies - in the context, inter alia, of ECOWAS, in coordination with and the with the support of United Nations agencies and institutions- in the areas of humanitarian affairs, conflict prevention, the free movement of goods and peoples, the phenomenon of roadblocks, child protection and support for civil society are bold projects deserving of the international community's support. Institutional capacity-building and strengthening the means of subregional organizations must go hand in hand with a similar effort on behalf of States that assume the responsibility of implementing policies of cooperation.”

“Our future efforts therefore need to be directed towards strengthening the capacities of national and subregional organizations involved in the struggle and towards the mobilization of the significant necessary resources. In that regard, the report outlines a plan of action for achieving those objectives by promoting partnership. It must be recognized that commendable efforts have been made by the United Nations system, among others, to build the capacities of subregional organizations, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the Mano River Union, States and civil society, so as better to prepare them to play a lead role in action to address those problems.”

“From that standpoint, the report of the Secretary-General is a valuable analytical tool which enables us to assess actions that have been undertaken so as to draw the necessary conclusions and make the needed adjustments. It seems to us that significant progress has been achieved in the area of the diagnosis and understanding of cross-border problems which, as is well known, fuel, and are fuelled by, instability and conflict. Also, much progress has been made in preparing and refining strategies and programmes in response to those scourges. As the Secretary-General's report indicates, however, there are shortfalls in the means available for action.”

“Mr. Baali (Algeria) (spoke in French): Allow me first to thank you, Mr. Minister, for having organized this very important public debate on the progress report of the Secretary-General on ways to combat subregional and cross-border problems in West Africa (S/2005/86). It hardly needs to be said that those problems exacerbate the region's chronic instability. Their persistence threatens to undermine ongoing efforts to restore peace in countries in conflict situations and to build peace in countries that have recently emerged from conflict. Hence, we must attach great importance to these key issues for peace, stability and development in the subregion. This annual gathering gives us the opportunity to take stock of the strategies agreed to and the means mobilized for their implementation.”

“Moreover, the fact that the Kosovo Serbs are not participating in the democratic process remains a source of concern for the international community and is a major obstacle to the advent of a democratic, tolerant and multi-ethnic Kosovo. We take the opportunity to reiterate once again our appeal to all parties to participate fully in confidence-building efforts, to strengthen relations and to promote reconciliation among all Kosovars. The attainment of those goals is primarily incumbent upon the leaders and people of Kosovo, but it is no less for the international community to create all conditions for the comprehensive and successful implementation of established standards and to proceed, as soon as possible, to consideration of the basic question of the final status of Kosovo.”

“The commitment of Kosovar leaders to quickly complete the rebuilding of property and the social and educational infrastructure that was damaged during the reprehensible events that took place last year, and their resolve to relaunch the process of the return of displaced persons, are a positive development. That commitment is also a sign of the beginning of a process of detente and of an improvement in the situation in the best interests of all. However, the progress remains insufficient, vis-a- vis the standards set by the international community and the expectations of the local people for improved economic and social conditions.”

“Mr. Baali (Algeria) (spoke in French): I should like to thank Mr. Saren Jessen-Petersen for the excellent introduction he gave us to the report of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and to pay tribute through him to members of the United Nations mission for the outstanding job they have accomplished in the field. The Council's consideration of the progress report on its agenda today allows us to appreciate the progress made - limited, of course, but still significant - in the process of the stabilization and normalization of the overall situation in Kosovo. My delegation welcomes the establishment of the coalition government following the elections of last October and its commitment to continue on the path of reform, to consolidate local institutions and to implement established standards for Kosovo.”

“Algeria, which attaches the greatest importance to UNIFIL's continued mission in Lebanon and to the integrity of its mandate, would like to recall that only Israel's full withdrawal from all Arab territories occupied by force - namely Palestinian territory, including Al-Quds Al-Sharif; the Syrian Golan; and Shaba'a Farms - can lead to a just, lasting and comprehensive settlement of the Israeli-Arab conflict.”

“Mr. Baali (Algeria) (spoke in French): Algeria joined other members of the Security Council in voting in favour of the draft resolution on renewing the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). It did so once the concerns it had expressed had largely been taken into account by the country that prepared the original text, and I should like to thank that delegation for the flexibility it demonstrated. Negotiations turned out to be rather difficult because of efforts to introduce political elements which, we feel, were not appropriate in a text of this nature.”

“Normalization of the political situation in Haiti and the improvement of economic conditions must be accompanied by the country's reintegration in its natural regional environment and in a framework of cooperation and solidarity provided by the Organization of American States and the Caribbean Community. The presence in the Council and the statements of Ministers of the region and the Acting Secretary General of the Organization of American States give us hope for Haiti's normalization of relations with its neighbours, which would undoubtedly be a further contribution to peace and stability in the region as a whole.”

“It is urgent to strengthen governance, give the population access to basic social services, ensure respect for human rights and enhance institutional capacity to ensure the rule of law. The international community has the duty to help the Government of Haiti to lay the foundations for economic growth, reduce poverty and strengthen State structures in order to facilitate the formulation and implementation of policies leading to lasting development. It must now honour its commitments by accelerating the disbursal of its pledged assistance at the World Bank donors conference.”

“My delegation believes that it is crucial that the international community further commit to helping the Haitian population in the long term. As the Secretary- General has said, the activities of the international community and the United Nations must be take place on a long-term basis. Mr. Annan added that he hoped that this time the international community would not be satisfied with putting a band aid on the situation or merely stabilizing the situation but would help the Haitians over the long haul to pick up the pieces and build a stable country. International assistance must focus on long-term programmes aimed at the political and social reconstruction of the country.”

“However, for the transitional process and the upcoming elections to succeed, we believe it is crucial that all actors of society participate, so that peace and security can be permanently restored in Haiti, and that all those that have been excluded from the transitional process be included in the democratic and electoral process, because it is vital that a national dialogue comprehending all political movements be established in order to promote national reconciliation, which is inseparable from an impartial struggle against impunity. A functional system of justice free of influence must also be established. More than half the population of Haiti lives below the poverty line, and living conditions are constantly deteriorating, against the backdrop of a national economy dependent on foreign aid.”

“For that reason, we feel that it is urgent to disarm all armed groups and bands. We believe that a complete disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) programme is necessary. We note with satisfaction the decision of the Transitional Government to create a national disarmament commission. It seems equally important to us that the Government examine comprehensively the situation of former members of the armed forces and the question of their compensation in order to reintegrate them into society. We call upon the Transitional Government to take the necessary measures to ensure the holding of local legislative and presidential elections. We note with satisfaction the announcement made by the Chairman of the Provisional Electoral Council concerning the finalization of the electoral law and timetable.”

“State institutions have been permanently destabilized, and the country's economy was affected, exacerbating the economic and social marginalization of many segments of society and contributing to growing insecurity in the form of armed violence and greater impunity. The Security Council's deployment of an interim force and, later, of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) has indeed had a very positive effect on the overall situation. Algeria cannot but pay tribute to those leading the Mission and to the troops participating in it for the progress achieved. Through joint operations with the National Police of Haiti, MINUSTAH has improved security conditions, to which the principal challenge has been the persistence of armed groups that continue to pose a serious threat to the transition process under way.”

“Mr. Baali (Algeria) (spoke in French): Allow me, Mr. Minister, to welcome you to the Security Council, and I warmly congratulate you on Argentina's assumption of the presidency of the Council. Finally, I thank you for convening this important debate on the situation in Haiti. I would also like to welcome the presence at this important debate of the Ministers who wished to participate and thank Mr. Valdes for his comprehensive presentation and the excellent work he is doing in Haiti. The particularly serious crisis that has afflicted Haiti for over a year does not seem close to being resolved as so considerable challenges remain.”

“Secondly, exchange of information and intelligence in combating terrorism is important, because we believe that one-way information will not effectively serve the fight against terrorism. Thirdly, it is essential to combat drug trafficking, since its links with terrorist networks are increasingly close; such networks are found not only in Asia, but also in other parts of the world. Fourthly, there is a need to come to the aid of States that require assistance. Fifthly, the use of propaganda and justifications of terrorism should be dealt with very seriously.

Consideration should be given to the appeals launched by certain States, and we hope that the Security Council will pay attention to them.

The written evaluation pursuant to resolution 1455 (2003) is a further achievement that is to the Committee's credit.
