“Despite controversies in the debates of the preparatory committee, which led the Chairman to produce only a conference room paper that could not reflect the views expressed, my delegation has full confidence in the upcoming review conference and strongly hopes that it will help us further in the implementation of the Programme of Action. We must not let that important opportunity slip away in our common efforts to make our world more secure with fewer weapons.”

“On the international front, Cambodia would like to reiterate its unequivocal commitment to the full implementation of the 2001 United Nations Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects by developing national programmes for the control of small arms, such as the long-standing plan to curb the illicit small arms trade. As one of the supporters of the resolutions on combating and preventing the proliferation of small arms that were adopted by the General Assembly in December 2005, my delegation fully supports the upcoming United Nations conference to review progress made in the implementation of the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects, to be convened in June and July this year.”

“Cambodia, accordingly, came forward with the proposal to establish a resource centre as a coordinating body to facilitate and mobilize efforts and resources to combat the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons in South-East Asia. In that regard, we would highly appreciate and welcome support from the international community to realize the important goal of setting up the Centre, which would make an important contribution to our common struggle against transnational crime and terrorism.”

“It has developed a number of programmes, ranging from law enforcement on arms control to the programme known as "Weapons for Development", which has led to the destruction of more than 170,000 collected and surplus weapons since 1998. My delegation wishes to take this opportunity to express its deep thanks to the European Union and Japan for their valuable assistance to the programmes. Having met with success in small arms control and weapons collection and destruction, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), at the fifth ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime in Hanoi in November 2005, endorsed Cambodia as a lead shepherd country, that is, a country which coordinates among ASEAN members on countering arms smuggling.”

“My delegation would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the Secretary-General for his report on small aims, which puts forward 12 recommendations whereby he calls on States to work more on the issue of eliminating small arms. My delegation also highly appreciates the Secretary-General's observations and conclusions, on which my country stands ready to join hands on that issue. After three decades of war, genocide and conflict, Cambodia is well placed to reiterate its unequivocal commitment to the collection and destruction of small arms and light weapons in order to cement peace, social security and political stability in the kingdom.”

“First of all, allow me, on behalf of my delegation, to most warmly congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the current month. My delegation would like to wish you success and to reaffirm to you our full support and cooperation. I would also like to thank you for allowing me to speak on the important agenda item on small arms. Although the expression "small arms" contains the word "small", it is a cause of big concern and will require us to work in concert for a long time to bring peace and security to individual countries, as well as to the whole world. For that reason, it is timely that the issue of small arms is being taken up for open debate by the Security Council today, in which I am pleased to share some comments from the perspective of my own delegation.”
