  1. “Also of great use would be seminars and conferences held under United Nations auspices, not only for high-level officials but also for specialists directly involved in peacekeeping and peace-building issues. I have listened carefully and with great interest to the statements of colleagues from other regional organizations. I can say that for me this was a unique exchange of experiences. That in itself constitutes a genuinely positive outcome of today's debate.”

  2. “That particularly affects the CIS, where financial and material resources for peacekeeping operations have been virtually shouldered by one country, the Russian Federation, since the other States of the CIS are not in a position to provide financing for peacekeeping activities. It is not coincidence that I raised the issue of drugs, as the drug trade and drug addiction pose a threat to all humankind. As well, they have a great impact on the creation and continuation of conflict situations in various regions and hinder stabilization efforts. There is a need to take joint action to locate hotbeds of drug production and to close the channels of drug processing and circulation. In that, the United Nations could provide effective financial assistance and support to regional organizations to coordinate their efforts in that campaign.”

  3. “While retaining, of course, the international elements of United Nations missions in conflict zones within the CIS, in our view, those missions should offer a significant role to, and be composed in large part by, personnel from the CIS States that are not participants in the conflict or neighbours of parties to the conflict. In this, we can make use of the mechanisms and experience of the CIS to avoid creating parallel missions or duplicating efforts. To do so would be an excellent thing. We believe that it is very important for the United Nations, at least partially, to provide material and financial support for peacekeeping operations in those regions where operations are being carried out under the United Nations Charter by forces of regional organizations.”

  4. “Allow me next to put forward a few proposals for the strengthening of interaction, conflict prevention and post-conflict peace-building. As I have already noted, the CIS has drawn up a Concept for settling conflicts on the territory of, and between members of, the CIS. We understand that other international organizations have prepared and are implementing such documents as well. I believe it would be useful to undertake, under United Nations auspices, a comparative analysis of such documents so that regional organizations can exchange experiences and perhaps improve their legal basis for such activities. With respect to interaction between the CIS and the United Nations, I would like to make a proposal regarding peacekeeping efforts conducted in the territory of the CIS.”

  5. “Stabilization processes include a considerably broader area of activity, including combating terrorism, crime, the drug trade and drug production, illegal financial flows and many other elements. In many of those areas, the States of the CIS are successfully developing their cooperation. In particular, we have undertaken specific steps for the development of interaction with the United Nations system. In 2002, at a meeting of the Council of the Heads of the State of the CIS, a report was presented by the Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Mr. Antonio Maria Costa. The Presidents of the CIS countries acknowledged the positive experience of interaction between the CIS and the Office on Drugs and Crime and suggested that it continue.”

  6. “We must note in particular the outstanding example - unfortunately not very characteristic of the situation at the end of the twentieth century - of United Nations interaction with interested States and the CIS in the settlement of the bloody conflict in Tajikistan. I would recall that a full settlement of the conflict in Tajikistan was reached in 2000; the CIS peacekeeping forces were disbanded, and the United Nations Mission of Observers in Tajikistan ceased its activities, having played a significant role in the inter- Tajik settlement. At the present time, the next stage of post-conflict peace-building is under way, and the CIS is in working contact with the United Nations and its representatives in Tajikistan. Many participants in today's debate have rightly noted that stabilization is not limited to the post- conflict situation.”

  7. “That was especially dramatic in the Republics of Tajikistan, Georgia and Moldova, as well as in the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in Nagorny Karabakh. The CIS is still establishing a system for the prevention and settlement of conflicts, post-conflict peace-building and the strengthening of stabilization processes. Nevertheless, through the efforts of the CIS countries - first and foremost those of the Russian Federation - and in interaction with, and with the assistance of, the relevant bodies of the United Nations and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, all armed conflicts existing in the territory of the CIS have entered the stage of political dialogue and the search for compromise and solutions.”

  8. “The legal basis of conflict settlement within the framework of the CIS also includes the Charter of our organization. The CIS possesses another document of relevance, the Concept for prevention and settlement of conflicts in the territory of States members of the CIS, which was adopted by our countries' leadership in 1996. The framework of the Concept relates to the generalized, unfortunate experience we in the CIS have had in conflict prevention and settlement - as is well known to the participants in this debate - following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the formation in its political space of newly independent States. During the process of the formation and development of those States, long-latent conflicts became armed confrontations.”

  9. “First, allow me to thank the organizers of today's debate. We believe that this discussion is of the greatest importance and significance because it aims, above all, at strengthening the coordinating role of the United Nations in stabilization processes and in the organization of interaction with regional organizations. There are several points I cannot fail to mention. As a regional organization, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is undertaking concrete steps for the settlement of conflicts existing in the territory of its member States. Those activities are founded on a clear and comprehensive basis of law, in accordance with Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter. For us, that chapter is the foundation for interaction and for the division of labour between the United Nations and our regional organization.”
