“Such an undertaking would be beneficial first and foremost for the people of Iran and would open new avenues for cooperation between Iran and the international community.”

“In that regard, we welcome the recent efforts by Turkey and Brazil as a significant confidence-building measure. The resolution adopted today by the Security Council is tough. However, Bosnia and Herzegovina is of the view that the resolution does not close the way to further diplomatic efforts and an ultimate negotiated solution. We believe that additional efforts and support from various parties could contribute to the creation of an environment conducive to readdressing the current situation and finding a satisfactory negotiated solution, which is our ultimate goal. Therefore, once again, we call upon the parties directly involved to explore all possible means that could pave the way to a peaceful solution of this issue of particular importance.”

“The Security Council has adopted resolutions calling on Iran to comply with the provisions of the NPT and to extend its full cooperation to IAEA inspections. However, according to the most recent reports, the international community did not get a clear and unequivocal answer from Iran, which has put the Security Council in the position of looking for additional measures to address this issue of utmost importance. Bearing in mind the importance of restoring confidence in the strictly peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear programme, Bosnia and Herzegovina urges Iran to comply with all resolutions of the Security Council and the IAEA Board of Governors, and to implement the additional protocol. We firmly believe that a negotiated settlement, based on mutual trust and respect, is the best option.”

“It is our strong belief that only full implementation of NPT safeguards agreements can ensure that nuclear energy is used in a safe and responsible manner. The role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as the implementing agency remains the most reliable instrument to verify compliance with the provisions of the Treaty. Furthermore, we consider that the right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy by all States is also important and must be fully respected and protected. Iran is no exception to that rule. It should be made clear, nevertheless, that the scope and objectives of any nuclear programme, including the Iranian programme, have to remain in accordance with the international rules and must be subjected to the verifiable and transparent inspection regime of the IAEA.”

“I would like to stress once again that Bosnia and Herzegovina was among those who nourished the hope that the issue at stake could be resolved through negotiations and in a manner that would satisfy the concerns of all. However, we find ourselves confronted with further aggravation regarding a comprehensive solution to the issue of nuclear capacity development in the Islamic Republic of Iran. As a State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), Bosnia and Herzegovina is fully committed to implementing the Treaty, which represents a unique and irreplaceable framework for the promotion of security and the prevention of proliferation of nuclear weapons in the world.”

“Finally, Bosnia and Herzegovina is convinced that today's briefing will strengthen our commitment to dialogue as a tool that can contribute to achieving peace and security in the world.”

“In that respect, we are of the View that the Security Council, with its primary responsibility to maintain international peace and security, can and should do more in terms of preventive diplomacy and promotion of intercultural dialogue as a mechanism for maintaining peace and security. Efforts should be made through a dialogue-based approach to problems, including activities such as fact-finding missions, early warning about potential conflicts and, in particular, mediation and confidence-building measures. We welcome the appointment of special representatives and the use of good offices as alternatives that can yield useful recommendations for the peaceful settlement of disputes prior to preventive deployment or enforcement measures.”

“It should be an integral part of nationally owned peacebuilding strategies aiming at promoting the culture of peace and turning pluralism into a source of strength, with equality in diversity. In a globalized world, where migration is an inevitable phenomenon, the need for interaction among individuals and groups and for understanding of different cultures, traditions and beliefs will be even greater. In that context, efforts should be made to reduce the room for ignorance and stereotyping of those who are different. We believe that tolerance is essential for ensuring social cohesion. At the same time, social cohesion is an important element for peace and security, not only within a country but also between countries.”

“On that occasion, a Declaration was adopted endorsing the principles, objectives and recommendations of the Regional Strategy on Intercultural Dialogue, which aims to contribute to the further building of bridges and strengthening of trust through enhanced intercultural dialogue and cooperation in the region. The Declaration considers education, youth and media as key instruments to build pluralistic, inclusive and cohesive societies, and the Regional Strategy for South-Eastern Europe was the first ever adopted in the framework of the Alliance of Civilizations. Intercultural dialogue as a tool of peacebuilding is an indispensable instrument for fostering tolerance and consolidating the values of justice, equality and respect.”

“In that regard, reinforcing intercultural dialogue, underlining shared values and promoting the settlement of disputes by peaceful means should be given the utmost priority. Furthermore, the promotion of dialogue among various cultures, on the basis of tolerance and respect for diversity, can result in the reduction of tensions and contribute to international peace and security. Bosnia and Herzegovina considers that international initiatives in the field of international and intercultural dialogue, encompassing those carried out by the United Nations, including the Alliance of Civilizations, have beneficial effects and should be widely promoted. In December 2009, Bosnia and Herzegovina hosted a conference under the banner of the Alliance of Civilizations.”

“Stereotypes regarding religions and civilizations may have serious political implications and create an atmosphere of tension which can erupt into acts of violence, as we have witnessed in many situations. We are of the belief that intercultural and interreligious dialogue can play an increasingly important role in post-conflict societies, advancing regional cooperation and solving some difficulties. It can also be a useful tool of preventive diplomacy aiming to defuse tensions, support mediation and promote and encourage understanding. Yet multiculturalism should not be defined simply as a multitude of cultures with equal status, but as a system based on common values and the development of peace. Interculturality refers to a constant interaction between cultures in the spirit of building bridges among peoples.”

“History has shaped Europe as a multicultural, multi-ethnic and multireligious continent. At the same time, new realities such as migration and globalization are expected to enrich its physiognomy, making it more open, deeply democratic and more multicultural. This pertains also to my country. The Balkans, as an area characterized by countries that share many historic events, with a richness of cultural and religious diversity, are facing challenges and difficulties that require a comprehensive response. Alienation, misconceptions, exclusion, marginalization and lack of knowledge about the culture, traditions, beliefs and history of others represent a serious threat and challenge to peaceful and good relations among peoples and nations.”

“At the outset, Mr. President, I would like to commend Your Excellency for convening this briefing in order to discuss the very important topic of intercultural dialogue for peace and security. In an increasingly globalized world, different nations and civilizations live together and interact with each other. Therefore, intercultural dialogue is a permanent process with worldwide participation at all levels and should be placed at the top of the political agenda. At the same time, cultural diversity has become one of the major political challenges to modern democracies, citizenship, pluralism, social cohesion and, above all, peace and stability among nations. Hence, Bosnia and Herzegovina is of the view that intercultural dialogue is one of the key issues of our time.”

“We sincerely hope that those efforts will be honestly and wholeheartedly accepted by all parties. On the situation in Somalia, Bosnia and Herzegovina reiterates its full support for the Transitional Federal Government and for the Djibouti peace process, which depends not only on internal factors but also on sincere cooperation by the countries of the region. We call on all parties concerned to genuinely respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Somalia and to make a greater contribution to peace and security in that country. With grave concern, Bosnia and Herzegovina shares the position expressed by other Council members with regard to the fight against piracy: that a long-term solution will come about only through the rule of law and the establishment of security on the ground.”

“We were also concerned as we listened to the statement of President Guelleh; we understand the call for urgent and firm involvement of all stakeholders that can contribute to the common aim of achieving peace and security in the region of the Horn of Africa. Bosnia and Herzegovina has been consistent in its position that international conflicts, including those originating from border disputes, should be resolved by peaceful means and in compliance with international law and the Charter of the United Nations. In that regard, we welcome all efforts by the United Nations and by regional organizations, in particular the African Union and the League of Arab States, to try to help the parties de-escalate tension and move towards a peaceful solution to the crisis.”

“I should like to welcome and thank His Excellency Mr. Ismail Omar Guelleh, President of the Republic of Djibouti, for his presence and for his statement to the Council. We appreciate the constructive role played by Djibouti in the region and applaud President Guelleh's personal efforts in that regard. Bosnia and Herzegovina is concerned about violations of the sanctions regime, which are mentioned in the report of the Somalia-Eritrea Monitoring Group, transmitted by a letter dated 10 March 2010 (see S/2010/91). In that respect, we would like to pay tribute to Ambassador Heller for his hard work as Chairman of the Committee pursuant to resolutions 751 (1992) and 1907 (2009) concerning Somalia and Eritrea. We hope that his recent visit to the region will have concrete effects.”

Finally, we would like to reiterate that fostering good relations and cooperation with its neighbours is of the utmost importance to Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

“We also support the existing practice of cooperation and coordination among UNMIK, EULEX, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and NATO - the latter present through the troops of the Kosovo Force (KFOR) - and we hope that this practice will continue. Furthermore, we note that, during the reporting period, the transition of KFOR to a deterrent presence was implemented in gradual and phased manner, as stated in the Secretary- General's report. In conclusion, Bosnia and Herzegovina would like to reiterate that stability and security in Kosovo are important to achieving lasting peace and prosperity in our region. We believe that the international community should continue to play an important role in supporting the aspirations of the countries of the region to their integration into European and Euro- Atlantic structures.”

“Furthermore, during the reporting period, UNMIK continued to facilitate the activities of the Reconstruction Implementation Commission, led by the Council of Europe, on the reconstruction of cultural and religious heritage sites. We also welcome the European Union's announcement of the appointment of the head of the Greek Liaison Office in Pristina as facilitator in that area, and we urge the key stakeholders to engage constructively in consultations led by the facilitator. Bosnia and Herzegovina believes that strengthening the rule of law in Kosovo is of great importance. Hence, we welcome the activities of UNMIK and the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX), operating within the status- neutral framework of the United Nations, in that regard.”

“We particularly welcome and commend UNMIK's efforts to encourage the process of reconciliation and to facilitate constructive dialogue and regional cooperation, as well as its focus on mediation between the communities and its support to minority communities. In that context, we are of the View that efforts to encourage inter-community dialogue and confidence- building among the parties are of particular importance in the area of returns. Although the number of voluntary minority returns remains low, we are encouraged by the fact that there has been an increase in comparison to 2008. Furthermore, in stressing the importance of providing conditions conducive to sustainable return, we welcome UNMIK's efforts to establish task forces, with the main objective of decreasing tension and drawing attention to common needs.”

“On behalf of the delegation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, I would like to express our appreciation to the Secretary- General for his comprehensive report (S/2010/ 169) on the United Nations Interim Administration in Kosovo (UNMIK). I would also like to thank Mr. Lamberto Zannier, Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Kosovo, for introducing the report. We welcome the participation of His Excellency Mr. Vuk Jeremic', Minister for Foreign Affairs of Serbia, and Mr. Skender Hyseni in today's meeting. We note with appreciation that the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo, operating within the framework of resolution 1244 (1999), is successfully continuing the implementation of its strategic goal - the promotion of security, stability and respect for human rights in Kosovo.”

“We also welcome the Istanbul Conference on Somalia to be held on 22 May 2010, and hope that it will foster political stability, security and reconstruction in the country. On the fight against piracy, Bosnia and Herzegovina shares the position expressed by other Council members that long-term solutions will come only through the rule of law and the establishment of security on the ground. In conclusion, please allow me to highlight an issue we deem exceptionally important. Bosnia and Herzegovina welcomes important efforts of the United Nations Mine Action Service to reduce the dangers of mines to the civilian population, including mapping mine contamination throughout southern and central Somalia and mine risk education sessions in communities affected by mines and unexploded ordnance.”

“In order to achieve lasting peace and stability, we urge the TFG to build on this positive momentum and intensify its efforts, especially in the areas of political reconciliation and outreach, the constitution-making process, security, stability and the delivery of services. Moreover, it is of crucial importance for the international community to use this window of opportunity to strengthen the effectiveness of its presence in the country by further coordinating its actions. Bosnia and Herzegovina supports the three-phase incremental approach, as set out by the Secretary- General. We welcome the completion and approval of the first accommodation facilities in a Bancroft compound with regard to establishing the second "light footprint" phase.”

“troops for their tireless efforts in stabilizing the situation in Somalia, despite the extremely difficult environment in which they are operating. We would like to pay a special tribute to Uganda and Burundi for the vitally important contribution they are making to AMISOM. Bosnia and Herzegovina welcomes the important efforts made by the TFG in preparing its own security sector assessment report and the national security and stabilization plan, which are intended to ensure coherence in developing the security and justice sectors. In that regard, we encourage the fulfilment of pledges made at the international conference in support of Somalia's security institutions and AMISOM, held in Brussels on 23 April 2009.”

“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. Bosnia and Herzegovina further expresses its concern regarding the alarming humanitarian crisis in Somalia, which is exacerbated by the severe difficulties in the delivery of humanitarian assistance caused by increased violence against humanitarian workers, ongoing fighting and drought. We hope that adequate funding of the consolidated appeals process and the United Nations transition plan for Somalia will allow for the continuation of critical humanitarian activities. Once more, Bosnia and Herzegovina would like to commend the African Union and AMISOM.”

“In that context, we further welcome the signing of the cooperation agreement between the TF G and Ahlu Sunna Wal Jama'a, and we hope that this change will contribute to the Government's capacity to consolidate its authority and restore order in the country. We urge all groups outside the Djibouti peace process to join in as soon as possible. Bosnia and Herzegovina is concerned about the security situation in Somalia, especially in the southern and central parts of the country. We strongly condemn the continuing indiscriminate attacks against the civilian population, the TFG and the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). We are deeply concerned by the fact that the recruitment and use of children in the conflict have increased in the past year.”

“Having said this, we would like to emphasize that the cooperation and assistance of the international community to the TFG are crucial, and that every resource should be used to generate the necessary political and security conditions for the successful completion of the transition by 2011. We note with satisfaction the progress in some key areas identified in the Secretary-General's report (S/2010/234), particularly in the field of national reconciliation, the drafting of the constitution, capacity-building, the building of national security forces and expanding political space in the country.”

I further wish to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, His Excellency Mr. Ould Abdallah, for his extremely useful briefing. Our thanks also go to Mr. Lamamra, Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union.

“In its brief history, the Committee has proved that its work is crucial to addressing the issue of terrorism and to extending the necessary expertise and support to Member States in establishing and further developing their capacity to face the threat of terrorists' acquiring weapons of mass destruction. Full cooperation with the Committee and a timely and comprehensive response to the requirements of resolution 1540 (2004) are critical to establishing a strong, comprehensive response to the global threat. In that context, we are pleased to see the positive effects of the adoption of the comprehensive review of the resolution's status of implementation, emphasizing the more active engagement of States in its implementation through continuing dialogue and participation in numerous outreach events.”

“Moreover, Bosnia and Herzegovina remains fully committed to the effective prevention of and fight against this global threat, and stands ready to provide every assistance and support to international efforts in that regard. Bosnia and Herzegovina also attaches great importance to the work of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) as one of the fundamental instruments of United Nations counter- terrorism and non-proliferation activities. We also offer our full support to the Committee's Chairman, Ambassador Heller, in his efforts and excellent work. The importance of the role of the 1540 Committee as one of the fundamental instruments of United Nations counter-terrorism and non-proliferation activities has already been well stressed.”

“I also wish to commend the work and engagement of the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate and its valuable contribution to the overall effort of countering terrorism. The broad range of thematic and regional discussions introduced into the Committee's programme of work helps to identify the challenges and difficulties that countries face today in their efforts to efficiently implement their obligations under the relevant Security Council resolutions. I wish to emphasize that Bosnia and Herzegovina attaches great importance to strengthening cooperation with the Counter-Terrorism Committee, in particular with regard to the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001).”

“We consider that the review, if conducted thoroughly with the active and valuable contribution of the Monitoring Team, will result in a more precise and accurate consolidated list, further strengthening the credibility of the Committee as a very important instrument for combating terrorist threats. With the strong commitment and enthusiasm of its Chairman, Ambassador Apakan, the Counter-Terrorism Committee continues its outstanding job, primarily in monitoring the implementation of resolutions 1373 (2001) and 1624 (2005). Promoting greater visibility and transparency in the work of the Committee, as well as streamlining some of its working methods, Ambassador Apakan has further underlined the important role of the Committee in countering terrorism.”

Furthermore, we are particularly looking forward to the appointment of the ombudsperson in accordance with the relevant provisions of the resolution, as it represents a very important step towards making the Committee's procedures more clear and transparent. Bosnia and Herzegovina also supports the efforts of the Chairman to conclude the review process in a timely manner, in accordance with the relevant provisions of resolution 1822 (2008).”

“In that regard, we would like to emphasize the importance of the Committees established pursuant to Security Council resolutions 1267 (1999), 1373 (2001) and 1540 (2004) as effective tools in countering terrorism in all its forms. Furthermore, and in order to enhance the significant contribution of the Committees to the strengthening of global security, we would encourage continuous improvement in cooperation and coordination among them. The work of the 1267 Committee, under the able chairmanship of Ambassador Mayr-Harting, remains one of the most crucial instruments in fighting the threat from Al-Qaida and the Taliban. In that regard, Bosnia and Herzegovina shares the common belief that the sanctions regime was further strengthened and improved with the unanimous adoption of resolution 1904 (2009).”

We highly respect and appreciate the tireless work, dedication and strong leadership of Ambassador Mayr-Harting, Ambassador Apakan and Ambassador Heller, which have cumulatively contributed to the effectiveness of the respective Committees. The challenges posed to the modern world and our societies by the different forms, methods and manifestations of international terrorism necessitate a sustained and comprehensive approach to the prevention and combating of this phenomenon.”

“At this stage, which marks a transition from relief to reconstruction, MINUSTAH must continue to provide technical, operational and logistical assistance to the Government of Haiti. Finally, Bosnia and Herzegovina commends the Haitian people for their admirable dignity and resilience, and the Government of Haiti and political and civil society actors for their constructive efforts to build consensus and ensure political stability, despite the scale of loss and suffering. We are convinced that, with the support of the international community, the Government and people of Haiti will overcome all challenges and build a stronger and viable Haiti.”

The United Nations continues to play a vital role in Haiti, and, on behalf of my Government, I would like to commend United Nations and MINUSTAH personnel for the important work they have carried out to date. Since the earthquake, MINUSTAH has exercised its mandate in a changed environment. During that exceptionally hard time, MINUSTAH, itself severely hit by the earthquake, provided essential support for rescue and relief operations.”

“In addition to the long-term recovery efforts, bearing in mind the humanitarian situation, it is essential that humanitarian aid to the people of Haiti continue to be delivered. Providing shelter and sanitation during the rainy and hurricane season has to be a priority. Bosnia and Herzegovina welcomes the efforts of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, humanitarian agencies and non-governmental organizations to provide assistance to the population in need. We urge the Government to make every effort to further address the issue of the difficult conditions in the camps for internally displaced persons.”

“Bosnia and Herzegovina welcomes the Government of Haiti's Action Plan and the establishment of the Interim Haiti Reconstruction Commission, which will coordinate financial aid until a Haitian development authority and a Haiti reconstruction fund are in place. In the aftermath of a disaster of such proportions, the main precondition for rebuilding and vigorous economic recovery is the restoration of the fabric of society, above all that of local communities in the affected areas. Therefore, in anticipation of measures to rebuild local communities, international stakeholders and the Government of Haiti should keep in mind that only programmes and projects that correspond to the needs of the local community and are supported by it will be beneficial and sustainable.”
2010-04-28 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.6303 (2010) · source
“Furthermore, we consider the rebuilding and strengthening of the security sector and the judicial and penal systems to be fundamental to recovery and development. Assistance to the Haitian National Police (HNP), which has played an important role in providing security side by side with MINUSTAH, as well as in developing a strategic framework for assistance in line with its reform plan, is of utmost importance. Cooperation between MINUSTAH and the HNP in providing the widest possible coverage to the camps and in addressing violence against women and children will be essential. With regard to the judicial and penal systems, we support MINUSTAH's efforts to provide assistance to the Government of Haiti in that field, which was also severely affected by the earthquake.”

“We also consider it important that, in a very sensitive atmosphere, the Government of Haiti and all political actors come together to address the issue of the transitional phase and find a way to bridge the legislative gap from May to the elections. In that regard, we welcome the dispatch of a United Nations mission to evaluate requirements and assess options with regard to a timetable for general elections. Bearing in mind the importance of international assistance in preparations for the elections, we support the Secretary-General's recommendations concerning the lead role that the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) should play in coordinating electoral assistance. We hope that these efforts will enable timely, free and inclusive elections, with the full participation of women in that important process.”

“Nevertheless, the continued attention and support of the international community to the people of Haiti in their efforts to rebuild the country are also indispensable. In that context, we are encouraged by the results of the Haiti donor conference held on 31 March, and we would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to all international donors for their generous pledges. Bosnia and Herzegovina strongly supports the Government of Haiti's efforts to carry out its duties effectively and in the best interests of Haiti's people, including its ambitious plan to proceed with elections that will allow for a presidential transition in early 2011.”

I would also like to thank Mr. Edmond Mulet, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, who has acted in that position from the very beginning of the crisis. We wish him every success in further performing his duties in Haiti. We also congratulate all those who have worked to respond to the emergency after the devastating earthquake in January. Bosnia and Herzegovina aligns itself with the statement to be made by the observer of the European Union. Since the earthquake, the Government of Haiti has made commendable efforts to address the challenges faced by its nation.”

“Finally, we should like to reiterate that the set of indicators is critical not only to the effective identification of gaps in tracking progress in the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) and to parallel ongoing work regarding resolution 1888 (2009), but also to their efficient monitoring and evaluation. Therefore, it is of key importance that the commemoration of the tenth anniversary of resolution 1325 (2000) not only mark the progress and achievements made so far, but also assess the challenges that have not yet been met, as well as how achievements and progress will be tracked and measured in time.”

“To that end, Member States should not be overburdened with additional responsibilities for data collection, and comprehensive insight into implementation, tracked by indicators, will be provided. Bosnia and Herzegovina welcomes the idea that this process should be transparent and pursued in consultation with relevant stakeholders in order to include their views on this particular issue. We believe that the next report of the Secretary-General should give substantial input with regard to what the agenda, roles and responsibilities of the United Nations system and other actors should be in developing an intensified, efficient and more successful implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) at the global level.”

We are of the view that this work should be intensified in the coming period. Taking into account the specific nature of gender- sensitive indicators, we stress the need for all quantitative indicators to be accompanied by qualitative commentary and analysis in order to reflect a country-specific situation or context. We are also of the opinion that a clear distinction ought to be made between the indicators for which data will be collected by the United Nations system and those for which data will be collected by Member States.”

“I should like to begin by thanking Ms. Rachel Mayanja, Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women, and Ms. Margot Wallstrom, Special Representative of the Secretary- General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, for their informative briefings. Bosnia and Herzegovina fully supports the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), the provisions of which have been incorporated into my country's gender action plan. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of the full involvement of women in all efforts for the maintenance and promotion of peace and security, early peacebuilding and post-conflict planning, as well as the need to enhance their role in decision-making processes. Bosnia and Herzegovina welcomes the report of the Secretary-General (S/2010/173) and the recommendations contained therein.”

“We believe that, through its practical implementation, this goal will be largely achieved. We also believe that the Informal Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Questions should continue to work in order to agree on new measures in a reasonable time frame. Furthermore, we prefer the option of creating a new, consolidated text that could include the measures contained in notes S/2006/507, S/2007/784 and S/2008/847. Finally, we are convinced that this open debate will significantly contribute to the future work of the Informal Working Group.”
