  1. “For that reason, my country, Senegal, which has been following developments related to that Conference with great interest, was extremely pleased at the Declaration that emanated from it, which reminded the leaders of the Great Lakes region that their people share a common fate and that they have a responsibility jointly to overcome the demons of division and, in a spirit of solidarity, to build together, in a climate of confidence, calm and good- neighbourliness, the future of their peoples, which are linked by strong ethnic, cultural and linguistic ties.”

  2. “This was highlighted by the holding in November 2004 in Dar es-Salaam of the first Summit of Heads of State and Government of the International Conference on Peace, Security, Democracy and Development in the Great Lakes Region - an area whose stability is vital to the entire African continent.”

  3. “Mr. Badji (Senegal) (spoke in French): Mr. President, I should like first to congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of January and to express to you my delegation's gratitude for your laudable and timely initiative in organizing a public debate on the question of peace, security and development in the Great Lakes region. Your initiative is particularly welcome given that this region has for some months now, following a lengthy period of upheaval, been experiencing a positive trend towards peace and accord.”

  4. “We appeal to the international community, including the States Members of the United Nations and the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention, to do everything possible to ensure that Israel complies with international humanitarian law and that it plans new measures to put an end to the illegal situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. The international community should have acted long ago to put an end to the wall's construction and to the creation of new settlements throughout the Palestinian lands. Decades ago, Israelis and Palestinians should have embarked on the most promising path - that of dialogue and cooperation - with a view to achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting peace for themselves and for all the peoples of the Middle East region.”

  5. “The Committee urges Israel, as the occupying Power, to fulfil its obligations and immediately put an end to the construction of the wall in the occupied Palestinian territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, and to dismantle the sections already built. Israel has the obligation to make reparation for all damage caused by the construction of the wall It should also put an end to the expansion of the settlements and to the transfer of population towards the West Bank. Moreover, the Committee hopes that the Secretary-General will swiftly establish a register of damage caused by the wall's construction.”

  6. “The Committee has always firmly condemned all acts of violence, including suicide attacks and extrajudicial executions, because they mainly hit innocent Palestinians and Israeli civilians and only harm the peace efforts. Although we do indeed believe that Israel is responsible for the security of its citizens, the disproportionate use of force against Palestinians cannot be justified. The Committee takes note of the report published recently by Switzerland (A/ES-10/304, annex), as depositary of the Geneva Conventions, following consultations with the various actors concerned and all of the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention. We hope that the proposals set out in the report will facilitate the search for means to guarantee compliance with international humanitarian law.”

  7. “They prevent the Palestinian people from exercising its inalienable rights and vitiate the prospects for a viable, contiguous Palestinian State existing side by side with Israel. Palestinians have known frustration, humiliation and difficulties of all kinds for decades and are losing hope of someday seeing political negotiations lead to solutions. Nonetheless, there are certain grounds for hope, particularly since the Sharm el-Sheikh summit was held earlier this year. However, with regard to the road map, the implementation of the decisions taken at that time is extremely slow. In recent days, the violence - which had declined since the summit - has again intensified.”

  8. “The Court clearly stated that the construction of the wall in the occupied Palestinian territory, including in and around Jerusalem, and its associated regime are contrary to international law. Despite the concerted efforts of the international community, the Israeli Government has not put an end to the construction. To the contrary, it has approved the building of new sections that will eventually encompass the vast settlements around East Jerusalem on the Israeli side. Those developments in the situation on the ground do not promote an end to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. The construction of the wall and the new losses of land caused by the expansion of the settlements worsen the economic and social situation in the occupied Palestinian territory.”

  9. “The Israeli plan that causes the greatest concern is the E1 plan, which is designed to link East Jerusalem with the major settlement on the West Bank, Maale Adumim, by building approximately 3,500 houses between the two. That project would amount to cutting off East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank, thus preventing the Palestinians from attaining their ultimate objective: to establish the capital of a future Palestinian State in the city. At the beginning of this month, we celebrated the first anniversary of the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice on the legal consequences of the construction of a wall in the occupied Palestinian territory.”

  10. “While recently the world's attention has focused on the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and certain northern portions of the West Bank announced by Israel, the Israeli Government actively pursues a programme that consists of developing major settlements on the West Bank and extending the boundaries of Jerusalem and favouring the increase of the Israeli population in the city. The settlements in Greater Jerusalem are being built in contradiction to Israel's obligations set out in the Quarter's road map. The Israeli Minister for Construction and Housing has issued new tenders for the construction of hundreds of houses in those settlements, while building permits are denied to Palestinians and while houses belonging to Palestinians are destroyed and requests for family reunification are ignored.”

  11. “After having congratulated you, Mr. President for the effective way in which you are discharging your duties as President this month, let me pay tribute to your predecessor, and to cordially commend Mr. Alvaro de Soto. I also wish to express my deep gratitude to you, Sir, and to all members of the Council for providing the opportunity to the Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People to take part in this important debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, particularly the situation today, with the difficult problems stemming from the settlement activity and the ongoing construction of the wall. The issues before the Council are extremely important and call for urgent solutions.”

  12. “In that regard, the Security Council would be well advised to lay the foundation for a normative framework defining the responsibility of all actors - including those of civil society - with a view to promoting a coordinated, consistent and swift response to the imperatives of peace-building.”

  13. “With regard to the African continent - battered by so much violence and by so many armed conflicts - the civil society organizations already present on the ground are in a position to better play their role at this sensitive stage of peace-building. That is, they would stand to benefit from the international community's moral, material and financial support, so that many of them would no longer be merely passive and powerless witnesses to unspeakable human tragedies, but actors in the redemption of the communities they wish to serve. In conclusion, I should like to clarify that at this critical stage of peace-building, active complementarity - I would even say active solidarity and positive cooperation - on the part of all the various players must prevail.”

  14. “Such an inclusive approach would allow those organizations to provide first-hand information on the milieu in which they are developing and to participate actively in the definition of objectives and peace- building means by spelling out their areas of preference. Moreover, the contribution of civil society organizations can be even more decisive in the phase of active peace-building, since they seem to respond more swiftly than other actors in carrying out certain tasks, such as assistance for refugees and displaced persons or their reintegration into their lands. However, the assignment of such missions to civil society organizations must be preceded by adequate financing and by a division of tasks to be agreed upon with the official United Nations representative in the country concerned.”

  15. “Given their presence in the field, their proximity to the players and their familiarity with political, economic and social realities, civil society organizations can, in a symbiotic relationship with Governments and international organizations, play a decisive role, at least during two stages linked to peace-building: the phase of the creation of objectives and the period of the implementation of such objectives. My delegation believes that there is a crucial need for the United Nations and in particular the Security Council to invite civil society organizations fully to participate in defining transition mandates even before peacekeeping operations conclude. The idea is to combine the global, regional or subregional vision of any United Nations approach and the local perspective inherent in the activities of civil society organizations.”

  16. “Despite the laudable efforts of the international community and the deep involvement of our Organization in conflict resolution and in pacifying hotbeds of tension, the volatile situation in the field in many conflict-affected countries and regions has often promoted a resurgence of such conflicts. That is why, more than ever, there is an imperative and urgent need to harmonize the actions of all of the players in the crucial phase of post-conflict peace-building, in accordance, moreover, with one of the recommendations contained in the annex to General Assembly resolution 57/337 of 3 July 2003 on conflict prevention.”

  17. “Mr. Badji (Senegal) (spoke in French): Allow me, before beginning my statement, to express to the delegation of the Republic of Korea the deep empathy of the delegation of Senegal in these difficult circumstances. We vigorously condemn the barbaric act that took the life of an innocent Korean citizen. We extend our most heartfelt condolences and sympathy. Madam President, after welcoming your presence here among us, I should like warmly to congratulate you and your delegation on the outstanding manner in which you have been presiding over the Security Council this month and also to convey to you the appreciation and gratitude of the delegation of Senegal for your praiseworthy initiative in organizing, within this forum, a public debate on the role of civil society in post-conflict peace-building.”

  18. “The Committee, lastly, appeals to the Security Council in its wisdom, to express, as has the international community, an unequivocal condemnation of the assassinations that have once again plunged Palestine and the Middle East into mourning and that it prompt Israel to renounce its policy of denying the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people. While urging the two parties to refrain from any action that could aggravate an already deleterious situation, the Committee on the Exercise of the lnalienable Rights of the Palestinian People invites the Quartet to apply all of its influence in order to hasten the long-awaited implementation of the road map, the only viable option for ensuring the security of both parties and a sustainable peace in a Middle East that is stable and reconciled with itself.”

  19. “These acts not only poison the political climate in the region, but also make the prospect of a just and sustainable solution to the Palestinian problem even more distant. The Committee supports the appeal by many world leaders to the consciences of all men and women to refuse to assist with indifference in the destruction of the Palestinian people. The Committee once again demands of the Israeli Government an immediate end to the untold daily suffering of the Palestinian people and that the Palestinians be able to recover their land through a lifting of the curfews and the dismantling of the wall of separation. The Committee also demands an immediate end to the siege imposed on the Palestinian Authority and its Chairman, Yasser Arafat.”

  20. “Faced with the deterioration of the climate of trust between the two parties, Israel has once again poisoned an already volatile situation by assassinating the leader of Hamas. Following the example of the indignant international community, many voices have already spoken up to forcefully condemn this irresponsible action, which is contrary to international law and which will further revive feelings of frustration and anger among the Palestinians. In a manner consistent with its guidelines, and faced with the exacerbation of the situation, the Committee on the Exercise of the lnalienable Rights of the Palestinian People condemns the extrajudicial executions and the fierce assaults on innocent Palestinian populations.”

  21. “Targeted assassinations of Palestinians, be they leaders or members of Palestinian organizations, have been condemned on many occasions, each time by the international community. The Committee on the Exercise of the lnalienable Rights of the Palestinian People has firmly condemned all extrajudicial executions and it is with the same energy that we condemn this most recent assassination, of which Mr. Abdel Aziz Al-Rantisi was the victim, along with two of his bodyguards. The Israeli Government, in complete disregard of international opinion, is continuing its vicious policy. As all acts of this type in the past, this assassination is a grotesque violation of international law and obviously does not correspond to the aspirations of the Palestinians or of the Israelis.”

  22. “President, and to the members of the Council for the opportunity you have given me to address the Council, in my capacity as Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the lnalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, on the occasion of this crucial debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine, and, in particular, on the targeted assassination of the leader of Hamas, Mr. Abdel Aziz Al-Rantisi. We are here before the Council once again, today, to discuss What has become a systematic policy of extrajudicial executions practised by the Israeli Government. Less than a month ago, we came before this Council to condemn the assassination of the spiritual leader of Hamas, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, by the Israeli authorities.”

  23. “I would like, first of all, Sir, to warmly congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for this month of April 2004. I am convinced that under your effective leadership, the Council will be successful in its deliberations. I take this opportunity to congratulate your predecessor, Ambassador Jean-Marc de La Sabliere, the Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations, for the exemplary way in which he presided over the Council's work in March. I am grateful to you, Mr.”
