  1. “Pakistan's proposal for establishing ad hoc composite committees of the Security Council, the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council deserves careful consideration in this context.”

  2. “The multidimensional tasks in the post-conflict phase are not primarily the domain of the Security Council. Many lie within the purview of the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council. The involvement and support of international financial institutions is equally important in effective conflict management and peace-building. A comprehensive approach presupposes a dynamic interface among the relevant United Nations organs and the broad range of national, regional and international actors and stakeholders, all working in synergy. We believe that ideas on better coordinating mechanisms within the United Nations must be explored. Today's debate would go a long way in this search.”

  3. “Civilian elements are being progressively incorporated into the planning and operations of multidimensional peacekeeping missions. Steps are also under way to achieve better coordination of the civilian and military aspects, but solutions do not lie only in increasing the number or size of the civilian components of the peacekeeping missions. Corresponding steps should be taken at Headquarters to ensure an integrated and coherent response at the organizational level. The crucial issue of resources must also receive due attention. Civilian aspects - particularly those relating to humanitarian relief - are often dependent on voluntary contributions and therefore prone to perennial shortfalls. Consideration should be given to provide resources from assessed contributions, as is the case for the peacekeeping missions.”

  4. “We support the emphasis on strengthening national civilian crisis management instruments and capabilities. If those are unavailable or inadequate at the national level, the logical first recourse to fill the capacity gaps should be the subregional or regional resources, where possible. The role of the regional and subregional organizations and their cooperation with the United Nations under Chapter VIII of the Charter are important as regards civilian and military capacities, both of which should be developed. Internal and external resources are required to develop those capacities. States and regional organizations in a position to do so should provide adequate assistance. Increased system-wide coordination is essential to successfully integrating civilian aspects into the United Nations strategies to deal with complex crisis situations.”

  5. “A comprehensive policy response must, in our view, place the greatest premium at all stages of conflict on addressing the root causes. That is essential to preventing a relapse of conflict, with its attendant consequences. Equally, recognition of the inextricable link between peace and development would help us to develop strategies for longer-term stability and self- sustaining peace and security. It is important to recognize that civilian conflict management and peace-building are a complex task, the nature and requirements of which vary from situation to situation. National and regional capacities also vary significantly. Accordingly, there can be no "one-size-fits-all" solution. Endeavours to develop any overarching guidelines must take those factors into account.”

  6. “Access, the protection of the humanitarian community and adequate resources are crucial for an effective humanitarian response. Peaceful resolution of the conflict through the provisions of Chapter VI of the United Nations Charter should remain a priority throughout. The post-conflict phase relies more heavily on the civilian role when there is only a residual military presence, if required. The civilian component helps in the maintenance of public order, the reintegration of ex-combatants, the development of functioning public institutions, the protection and promotion of human rights, justice and the rule of law, electoral processes, and economic reconstruction and development. The diversity of challenges in this phase requires the involvement of multiple actors, both within and outside the United Nations system.”

  7. “Early warning and early engagement, including through the Secretary-General's good offices and the United Nations system at large, could at times prevent conflicts from erupting. Early diplomatic engagement could also help contain the conflict if it indeed erupts. Conflict prevention must therefore be a priority goal. During the conflict phase, the increasingly complex, multidimensional peacekeeping operations are instrumental in managing crises and creating an enabling environment for a smooth transition to the post-conflict or peace-building phase. However, the civilian aspects are important in several respects, such as humanitarian assistance, conflict resolution and dispute settlement, and implementation of the peace process.”

  8. “The wide range of issues involved requires a comprehensive, multidimensional approach based on increased system-wide coordination. Broadly speaking, there are three basic conditions for a successful transformation from conflict to sustainable peace: the restoration of security, a viable political process, and development and reconstruction. Effective coordination between military forces and civilian actors is required to meet those conditions. Peacekeeping operations represent the most effective and widely used instrument for conflict management, but a peacekeeping operation is usually established when there is peace to keep. In the pre- conflict stage, there is always scope for civilian involvement through preventive diplomatic action.”

  9. “The Council's debates on the protection of civilians in armed conflict, complex crises and United Nations response, peacekeeping operations, justice and the rule of law, and post-conflict stabilization have contributed richly to our collective thinking on developing a coherent and effective response to these challenges. Today's discussion complements that ongoing discourse. In the discharge of its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, the Security Council is frequently called upon to intervene in complex crisis situations. Those situations are often characterized by inter-linked military and security dimensions, as well as political, economic, social and humanitarian facets.”

  10. “I would like to warmly felicitate the Spanish presidency for organizing today's debate on the civilian aspects of conflict management and peace-building. Your presence here, Sir, to preside over this ministerial meeting testifies to the importance of this theme. I also wish to thank Secretary-General Kofi Annan, as well as Mr. Javier Solana, Mr. Amre Moussa and Mr. Said Djinnit for their important contributions to the debate. The Security Council in recent months has reflected on various dimensions of conflict management and post-conflict peace-building.”
