“Finally, I wish to express my gratitude to all members of the Informal Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Questions for their constructive approach and cooperative spirit.”

“Bosnia and 8 Herzegovina believes that, in the future, the primary focus should be on the following areas. First, taking note of the increased number of calls for interaction between the Informal Working Group and the wider membership, Bosnia and Herzegovina has suggested that the Group hold regular briefings on Security Council working methods for non-members of the Council. With pleasure, I can confirm the members' dedication to more transparent relations with the wider membership. Therefore, we intend to organize the first such briefing in a week's time. We are convinced that such interaction is to the common benefit. Secondly, it is of vital importance that the redistribution of reporting and mandate cycles initiated by Bosnia and Herzegovina remain a priority on the agenda of the Working Group next year.”

“Thus, together with Japan, the preceding Informal Working Group Chair, we organized a workshop on working methods for the general United Nations membership, where we introduced the new 507 President's note (S/2010/507), comparing it to the old 507 note (S/2006/507). Also, as Chair of the Informal Working Group, I participated in the meeting of the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Revitalization of the General Assembly, at which we shared the Council's experience and good practices in the domain of documentation, working methods and organization of work, with a focus on summary statement streamlining. Based on the past year's experience, I would like to conclude by highlighting two recommendations for the future activities of the Working Group.”

“With a View to improving and, in a way, demystifying some practices of the Security Council, we organized what we called a "special meeting" of the Informal Working Group, at which the Security Council Secretariat Branch briefed members on the unknown or misunderstood working methods of the Security Council. We also had a presentation by the Security Council Practices and Charter Research Branch on the Security Council repertoire website. The repertoire is a record of the proceedings of the Security Council that serves as an institutional memory of the evolving practice of the Council on constitutional and procedural matters. As I mentioned previously, one of the principal issues that the Informal Working Group has been engaged in is the issue of further increasing the transparency of the Council's work.”

“The Informal Working Group was briefed by the Council's secretariat branch and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations on the administrative, financial and political implications of redistributing the mandate cycles of peacekeeping missions. Taking note of the views expressed, we believe that the exercise will take 18 months to implement, with close coordination among Security Council members, Member States and the Secretariat. As the outgoing Chair, we warmly invite the incoming Chair of the Informal Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Questions to build upon the work initiated in that regard.”

“In that context, we examined possible means for reducing the items on the list under the Council's active consideration. This is not an easy task, since it has to be carried out with extreme care vis-a-vis the countries concerned. This ongoing process will be addressed in January 2012. In addition, the Informal Working Group focused on redistribution of reporting and mandate cycles in order to create a more even distribution of the Council's annual workload. It is clearly apparent, for example, that June, July and December are more densely scheduled than other months. We are of the view that this exercise will be an important contribution to improving the Council's working methods.”

“As outgoing Chair, I am pleased to brief the members of the Council on the activities of the Informal Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Questions. Bosnia and Herzegovina has continued the efforts of previous Chairs to further promote the transparency and efficiency of the Council's work, including the implementation of presidential note S/2006/507. This year, the Informal Working Group held five meetings in which the members considered issues such as streamlining summary statements, redistributing items on the Security Council's yearly programme, and ways of enhancing interaction between the Informal Working Group and the wider membership. At the beginning and in the later part of the year, the Informal Working Group considered the issue of streamlining summary statements of matters of which the Council is seized.”

“The phenomenon of piracy is one of the challenges that still await a comprehensive, adequate and effective response from the international community, although some security, judiciary, prevention, best practices and awareness-raising measures have been taken. We should continue to cooperate and concentrate on eliminating the root causes of piracy.”

“We call upon the international community to continue its support to AMISOM, with the aim of seeing its mandate fully implemented. We recognize the importance of the United Nations Support Office for AMISOM, the United Nations Political Office for Somalia, and the United Nations country team for Somalia, as well as the hard work of the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and all other humanitarian organizations. We also welcome the efforts of the United Nations Mine Action Service to reduce the risks to the civilian population posed by mines and unexploded ordnance. Piracy off the coast of Somalia continues to pose a threat to international peace and security.”

“We share the assessment of the Secretary- General that a multisectoral response is essential, and call upon all Member States to contribute to the consolidated appeal for Somalia. Bosnia and Herzegovina commends all humanitarian organizations and workers for their tireless efforts in providing humanitarian assistance to people in need in Somalia despite the extremely difficult environment in which they operate. We urge that humanitarian agencies and workers be given unhindered access to the populations in need. The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) continues to represent an important factor of stability in the country. We commend AMISOM troops for their tireless efforts in stabilizing the situation and hope that its troop levels will soon reach the mandated strength.”

“While famine is spreading, due to a deadly combination of severe drought, ongoing fighting and difficulties in the delivery of humanitarian assistance, the people of Somalia are facing a new humanitarian catastrophe. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who endure the terrible effects of the famine, which has already resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people. More than 3 million people in Somalia depend on humanitarian assistance, including internally displaced persons, who represent one of the most vulnerable groups in the country. The insecurity, compounded by the drought, has led to migration in all directions throughout the Horn of Africa. We urge the international community to redouble its efforts in providing assistance to the people of Somalia.”

“We express our hope that those efforts will continue, and reiterate our call on the international community and Somalia's partners to provide urgent assistance to the Transitional Federal Government. Other important developments are the recent activities aimed at increasing the presence of the United Nations in Mogadishu and other parts of Somalia. We express our encouragement of further coordination of the United Nations work in the country. We are concerned about continuing grave violations of human rights, especially against women and children. We therefore urge all parties to the conflict to fully comply with international humanitarian law and human rights law in order to protect the civilian population. Furthermore, we express our serious concern with regard to the humanitarian situation in Somalia.”

“Bosnia and Herzegovina strongly welcomes the holding and outcome of the consultative meeting organized and facilitated by Special Representative Mahiga. The adopted road map, with clear timelines and benchmarks for completing the current 12-month transitional period, should be implemented in a timely manner, bearing in mind that the future support of the international community for Somalia depends on its realization. We call upon the Transitional Federal Institutions to demonstrate unity, cooperation and commitment in carrying out their obligations through an inclusive and genuine Somali-owned political process. The international community has already shown its dedication to helping the Somali people achieve lasting peace and stability in the country.”

“The consolidation of authority, delivery of basic services to its people and fighting corruption, as well as the process of national reconciliation, are essential for the success of the Transitional Federal Government. Strengthening State institutions, particularly the National Security Force and the Somali Police Force, should be accelerated with the assistance of the international community. We reiterate our full support to the Transitional Federal Government and the Djibouti peace process. We also welcome the signing of the Kampala Accord, which overcame the political impasse that had paralysed and endangered the peace process in Somalia. We are pleased to note the timely implementation of the Kampala Accord to date, and we encourage the Transitional Federal Institutions to continue their efforts in that regard.”

“At the outset, allow me to express our gratitude to the Secretary-General for his comprehensive report (S/2011/549) on Somalia and to thank Mr. Augustine Mahiga, Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Somalia, for his useful and informative briefing this morning. We also thank Mr. Boubacar Gaoussou Diarra for his contribution to today's debate. We also welcome His Excellency Mr. Abdiweli Mohamed Ali, Prime Minister of Somalia, and thank him for his remarks. Bosnia and Herzegovina notes with satisfaction the recent security developments in Somalia. It is of crucial importance that this window of opportunity be used in the right manner.”

“In conclusion, we are thoroughly convinced that, under the able chairmanships of the Permanent Representatives of Germany, India and South Africa, the Committees will continue to pursue effective and stronger measures in the fight against terrorism. Bosnia and Herzegovina will, for its part, continue to fully support and contribute to the overall international efforts in countering terrorism, at both the national and international levels.”

“We therefore voted in favour of resolution 1977 (2011) and the extension of the 1540 Committee's mandate for 10 years. Security Council resolution 1540 (2004) cannot be fully and effectively implemented by one State alone. Such implementation is rather a long-term task that requires continuous efforts by Member States at the national, regional and international levels. The comprehensive implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) is also a very complex and costly process. We therefore call upon Member States able to provide resources to extend their voluntary financial contributions to States in need of assistance to implement the resolution. No financial cost is too high if it helps prevent the potentially devastating consequences of terrorist attacks with weapons of mass destruction.”

“Furthermore, regular briefings for Member States proved to be an indispensable tool in enhancing transparency and creating a forum for exchange of views and recommendations. I would now like to address the work of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). Over the past seven years, resolution 1540 (2004) has demonstrated its great relevance among international instruments dealing with the issue of global non-proliferation and counter-terrorism. The 1540 Committee also proved to be an indispensable mechanism in extending support and assistance to Member States in building and further developing their capacity to face the threat of non-State actors acquiring weapons of mass destruction. Bosnia and Herzegovina acknowledges and commends this work.”

“We are of the view that the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC), with the valuable support of the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, remains one of the key elements of that framework. We therefore strongly support the work of the Committee to improve its efficiency and transparency. Thematic discussions and regional presentations are making the Committee more focused on challenges, deficiencies and difficulties in the implementation of the respective resolutions. We are pleased to see that the Chairman plans to move towards the Committee's continued engagement in these discussions and to make greater use of their outcomes and results. Here, it is appropriate to mention very successful outcome of the recent CTC meeting at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg with international, regional and subregional organizations.”

“However, we are aware that there are still some concerns, and we believe that they will be adequately addressed in the coming period in order to strengthen the counterterrorism framework. We extend our full support to the Committee and its Chairman in further improving the sanctions regime established by resolution 1267 (1999). In addition, I wish to emphasize that we attach great importance to the role of the Ombudsperson, which in our opinion can only significantly enhance and contribute to regime's fairness and transparency. However, it is very important to consider our next steps in order to realize the full potential of this institution. The effective implementation of resolutions 1373 (2001) and 1624 (2005) is an essential prerequisite and key element of an unyielding and consistent counterterrorism framework.”

“Our efforts need to be multifaceted and comprehensive in order to adequately respond to the threats and dangers posed by terrorism. The demise of Osama bin Laden is considered as a critical development in that regard, and crucial in our joint efforts to fight terrorism. We have on a number of occasions pointed out that the committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) has evolved into one of the most critical instruments in the fight against the threat posed by Al-Qaida and the Taliban. We have thus far witnessed considerable improvements in the Committee's procedures, but its work is a continuous dynamic undertaking that requires our full attention and thorough and careful consideration of each new step, all in order to further strengthen the effectiveness, transparency and credibility of this sanctions regime.”

“At the outset, I wish to join other speakers in expressing our 11-3390] gratitude to the Permanent Representatives of Germany, India and South Africa for their detailed briefings giving an account of their work during their first months chairing the respective Committees. Given the important place that these Committees have in the overall counterterrorism framework, we believe that the continued exchange of views through these regular briefings further contributes to the improvement of the Council's efforts in countering this global and ever- present challenge. The face of terrorism changes every day, taking new forms, using new methods and manifesting itself in ways that compel us to continuously reconsider and re-evaluate the steps we take, the tools we use and the measures we deploy.”

“In conclusion, I would like to underline that Bosnia and Herzegovina attaches the utmost importance to the protection of civilians in armed conflict.”
2011-05-10 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.6531 (2011) · source
“Although the primary responsibility for the protection of civilians lies with States and parties to an armed conflict, the United Nations, with its systematic approach to the protection of civilians, must be, and is, at the helm of the global effort. We believe that more comprehensive and detailed information on the protection of civilians in country- specific situations is needed. Measuring progress in the implementation of peacekeeping mandates related to the protection of civilians must be improved. We support the recommendations of the Secretary-General made in the most recent report asking for the systematic application of the aide-memoire on the protection of civilians and active use of the Council's informal Expert Group on the Protection of Civilians to discuss peacekeeping and other mission mandates.”

“We believe that the Security Council should take a more consistent and comprehensive approach to addressing constraints on humanitarian access and should ensure accountability for grave instances of denial of access. The challenges facing the Council with regard to the protection of civilians call for greater international cooperation and better coordination between the Council and other United Nations bodies and agencies. To that end, additional efforts should be made to prevent conflicts and their recurrence and to promote early-warning systems and effective responses to situations that specifically threaten civilian populations.”

“Sanctions and other targeted measures play an important role in overall efforts, as well as in initiatives to improve compliance with the law by non-State armed groups. The Security Council should take every opportunity to send a message that crimes committed against civilians are unacceptable and that all perpetrators of grave violations of human rights and international humanitarian law will be brought to justice. Conflicts remain the major cause behind the increasing numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons. In that context, we are deeply concerned about the unsafe and too-often impeded humanitarian access to populations affected by conflict. We are also troubled by attacks against humanitarian workers, which must be strongly condemned.”

“Allegations of the existence of mass graves in the country are worrisome and must be investigated. We condemn the use of sexual violence as a means to political ends and welcome the decision of the Human Rights Council to establish an independent international commission of inquiry. We urge all parties to armed conflicts to fully comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law concerning the protection of civilians in armed conflict. We particularly underline the need to combat impunity for perpetrators of violence against civilians. The struggle against impunity is an integral element in the protection of civilians that cannot be addressed seriously without prosecuting those responsible for serious crimes.”

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms artillery shelling and sniper fire aimed at civilians and civilian buildings. In this context, we reiterate that full implementation of resolutions 1970 (2011) and 1973 (2011) is of the utmost importance and that obligations deriving from those resolutions are not optional. With regard to the situation in the Ivory Coast, we also reiterate our deep concern over the reported serious violations of human rights and the use of disproportionate force. We are alarmed by the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the country, where more than a million people have reportedly been internally displaced and more than 100,000 had to flee the country and find shelter in Liberia. We urge the international community to redouble its efforts and provide the much-needed humanitarian assistance.”

“In response to some of the violations that occurred in the most recent period, the Security Council took concrete steps relating to the protection of civilians, the first one being the adoption of resolution 1973 (2011), which authorized all necessary measures to protect civilians in Libya, and the second being the adoption of resolution 1975 (2011), which imposed sanctions on former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo and his circle and authorized the United Nations Operation in Cote d'Ivoire to prevent the use of heavy weapons against the civilian population. When it comes to the situation in Libya, we are gravely concerned over the references in the recent report of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to serious violations of international humanitarian law and human rights in the country.”

“It is the unfortunate and unacceptable reality of our times that civilians continue to be a main target for armed attacks and account for a high number of casualties in conflicts. Regrettably, in 2010 and during the first quarter of 2011, we have witnessed a continuous and significant increase in civilian casualties in a number of countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, C6te d'Ivoire and Libya. The list certainly does not end there. Bosnia and Herzegovina strongly condemns such violence and finds it both appalling and unacceptable.”

“Thank you, Mr. President for organizing this important debate. I wish to extend my gratitude to Under- Secretary-General Amos, Under-Secretary-General Le Roy and Assistant Secretary-General Ivan Simonovic' for their important, irreplaceable work and of course for their valuable briefings at today's meeting. The issue of the protection of civilians in armed conflict is one to which Bosnia and Herzegovina attaches great importance. Unfortunately, serious and constant violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law and deteriorating situations, including systematic violence against civilian populations, have continued during the reporting period in many countries. Civilians are still, and too often, targets in armed attacks and atrocities and are victims of human rights abuses, in particular rape and other sexual violence.”

“For those precise reasons, and on the basis of our own strong and unwavering belief in the justice system, we believe that the full implementation of resolutions 1970 (2011) and 1973 (2011) is of utmost importance. Obligations derived from those resolutions are not optional. Finally, it is our firm belief that condemnation of the grave atrocities and crimes under the Court's jurisdiction is unanimous and unwavering. My country remains committed to the ideas and goals of the ICC, and to its own obligations. Furthermore, the Prosecutor of the ICC has our full support for his work.”

“Bosnia and Herzegovina is gravely concerned by the reported crimes and the manner in which they have been committed, which have only further reinforced our conviction that the referral of the situation in Libya to the ICC was true to our commitments and obligations. After only two months of investigation, the report of the Prosecutor already contains evidence of incidents constituting alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. We firmly believe that addressing these crimes and punishing those responsible is, beyond any doubt, the main precondition for reconciliation, sustainable and long-lasting peace and stability. Impunity is not an option, and I am certain that all of us agree on that.”

“Allow me to welcome the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to today's meeting and thank him for his extensive briefing. I also wish to thank the Prosecutor for preparing the report that has given us a further overview of and insight into the situation in the field. In no uncertain terms, it outlines the rather grave and serious situation, providing facts that unfortunately have been confirmed from briefing to briefing. Unfortunately, the report of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) provides further evidence of serious and constant violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law and of the deterioration of the situation, including systematic violence against the civilian population. We strongly condemn such violence and find it to be unacceptable.”

“We therefore believe that the new proposals outlined in the Special Adviser's report aimed at establishing specialized piracy courts in Somaliland and Puntland, along with an extraterritorial court in Arusha, as well as an increase in incarceration capacity in Somaliland and Puntland are a good basis for creating a new approach and instruments in counter-piracy activities. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to Mr. Lang to make some concluding remarks.”

“Lang wrote in his report, is a valuable proposal for beginning a new phase in fighting piracy, which is evidently needed. We consider that institution-building, especially in the security sector, will make the Transitional Federal Government and regional authorities in Somaliland, and principally in Puntland, critical partners of the international community in fighting piracy. Impunity, as most delegations that have spoken before me have stated, is a factor that leads to an increase in piracy activities. The fact that a catch-and- release method is applied in 90 per cent of cases points out the serious flaws in the international approach to combating piracy.”

“Unfortunately, on the contrary, we can see how, over time, piracy is acquiring structured features in financial and organizational aspects. We are also concerned by the further expansion of the area threatened by piracy attacks, southwards along the coastline of Somalia and eastwards into the Indian Ocean. Bosnia and Herzegovina strongly condemns acts of piracy and expresses its concern regarding the impact of such acts - first on regional security and, subsequently, on the global economy and international security. In that context, we share the view expressed by Special Adviser Lang that there is an urgent need to establish effective counter-piracy measures before spillover effects produce further instability in the region. We believe that the Somalization of a solution, as Mr.”

At the outset, I would like to thank Special Adviser of the Secretary-General Jack Lang for his report (see S/2011/30) and for his informative briefing.

The phenomenon of piracy is a challenge that has yet to receive an adequate and effective response from the international community.
