  1. “Those attacks are committed by different armed groups, including the Lord's Resistance Army. In some areas members of the armed forces are themselves responsible for committing those types of abuse of children. We therefore underscore the need to put an end to the climate of impunity that facilitates such abuse. We would also like to reiterate the responsibility of Governments to protect their civilian populations. In conclusion, we would like to thank the delegation of Tanzania for its work on the draft presidential statement, which we support.”

  2. “However, we must also underscore that granting amnesty for serious human rights violations as part of a strategy to end a conflict usually does not lead to positive results in the long term, given that combatants rarely give up their weapons and lasting peace is rarely achieved when reconciliation is not a viable option for society. It is possible to end the culture of impunity only by meting out impartial justice for all violators of human rights and international humanitarian law. That, in turn, would provide a solid foundation for long-term stability in the countries of the region. We would like in particular to highlight the special vulnerability of children affected by the various conflicts in the region. Unfortunately, girls and boys in the region continue to be recruited, abducted and even murdered.”

  3. “The new phase now beginning will also require great efforts and coordinated assistance in order to establish stable institutions for the reconstruction and development of the countries of the region during the post-conflict phase. It will entail bringing those who violated human rights and humanitarian law to justice, as well as the active participation of the Peacebuilding Commission, which has, for example, already decided to assist the efforts of the Government of Burundi to strengthen peace. Those are all necessary elements in generating the incentives needed to reduce the probability of the recurrence of conflict in the region.”

  4. “We would like to highlight in particular the importance of the signing, during the Second Summit in Nairobi, of the Pact on Security, Stability and Development of the Great Lakes Region and the declaration on its implementation, through which the heads of State of the subregion committed themselves to ensure that the Great Lakes region will regain its stability and become a region of peace and prosperity. We also believe that the establishment of a regional Conference secretariat is a great step forward in ensuring peace in the region. In that regard, we congratulate Ambassador Liberata Mulamula of the United Republic of Tanzania for her nomination as Executive Secretary of that body.”

  5. “Nor would they have been possible without increased cooperation between the Security Council and regional organizations in the taking of decisions, the tireless efforts of the peacekeeping missions in the region, the assistance provided by donor countries and the Group of Friends of the Great Lakes Region, the constant monitoring by non-governmental organizations of human rights violations by parties to conflicts and, lastly, the parties themselves, who adopted positions whereby they gave priority to peace over their personal interests.”

  6. “Recent historic events in the region, such as the taking of office by democratically elected Governments in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, constitute progress that, despite the important role of the international community, would not have been possible without the close and resolute cooperation of the Governments of the subregion, the efforts of the African Union and other multilateral bodies, and the holding of international conferences - such as the one on peace, security, democracy and development in the Great Lakes region that took place in Dar es Salaam in November 2004 and the Second Summit-level meeting of the same conference, held in Nairobi from 14 to 15 December 2006.”

  7. “Mr. Barttfeld (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to thank Mr. Ibrahima Fall, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the Great Lakes Region, and Ambassador Liberata Mulamula, Executive Secretary of the secretariat of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, for their presence here today. We also thank the Qatari presidency for organizing this open debate on such an important issue as peace, security and development in the Great Lakes region of Africa.”
