  1. “I thank Mr. Adeniji for his comprehensive and very useful briefing. I believe it has given us along with the report of the Secretary- General, some very important aspects and points which need to be addressed by the members of the Council. As I now proceed to give the floor to the members of the Council, my appeal and request to them would be that they be focused in their statement, rather than elaborating a long speech on their policy towards Sierra Leone, and address the points that the report of the Secretary-General and Mr. Adeniji have raised. I think that it will serve the purpose of the debate better if we do so. At some given points, I shall come back to Mr. Adeniji for a response to the points raised by the members of the Council.”

  3. “Members of the Council have before them the tenth report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone, document S/2001/627. Before calling on Mr. Adeniji, let me apologize for starting this meeting late. I was making a statement on behalf of the Council at the fourth Summit on the Security of International Staff. I thought it was important that the Council's point of view be heard - particularly in view of the fact that the first exchange between the Council and staff members took place last month at a meeting under the Arria formula - and for the President of the Council to be there, along with the President of the General Assembly and the Secretary- General. At this meeting the Council will hear a briefing by Mr.”

The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council will remain seized of the matter. The meeting rose at 10.25 am.”

This statement will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/2001/16.

  38. “Clearly, the cooperation of the Government of Iraq, as well as the cooperation of the States sharing borders with Iraq, is a key factor in the implementation of these arrangements. Questions of their sovereignty, economic interests, additional burden and so on, enmeshed in legal issues, have critical significance. It is, in our View, vital to closely consult with those States in order to arrive at suitable arrangements. The Council cannot be oblivious to the regional political context that surrounds the issue. That calls for a vision beyond the sanctions, a vision to salvage future generations in Iraq. If the Council fails to get the political perspective right, no procedural simplification is likely to bring the desired result. Iraq's involvement in the process is crucial.”

  39. “Council members must make a serious effort to address these issues - issues that have been giving rise to problems in the implementation of the Council's resolutions. To make the current exercise on negotiating the draft truly comprehensive, all issues of concern, including Kuwaiti missing persons and the return of Kuwaiti property, should be addressed. In doing so, the Council should be mindful of the fact that Iraq has rejected resolution 1352 (2001), which provides for the broad principles guiding new arrangements. Making the adoption and implementation of these new arrangements contingent on the usual rollover of the oil-for-food programme risks jeopardizing it.”

  40. “Multiple problems relating to the implementation of the programme are perhaps rooted in this perception. It is for this reason that many, including some Council members, have been underscoring the need for a comprehensive approach in addressing this issue. The most comprehensive framework so far for the United Nations policy on Iraq is provided in Security Council resolution 1284 (1999). Yet it is deficient in not indicating clearly a pathway towards the suspension and final lifting of the sanctions. We believe that sanctions regimes should clearly define the modalities for the lifting of sanctions. That only makes them credible. As a number of speakers have said, the current deadlock in the situation must not be allowed to continue.”

  41. “In March 2000, during its first presidency of the Council, Bangladesh took the initiative of holding an open debate on Iraq. This finally, after many years, afforded the wider membership of the United Nations an opportunity to focus on the plight of the Iraqi people, as well as on other relevant issues, particularly that of Kuwaiti missing persons. For the second time during a Bangladesh presidency, we believe, a welcome opportunity is being provided to address the situation in Iraq, in particular the devastating effect of the sanctions on the life of the people of Iraq. The oil-for-food programme was designed to alleviate the humanitarian situation in Iraq. Although Iraq accepted the programme, it has serious reservations on provisions that it thinks impinge on its sovereignty and national independence.”

  42. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Bangladesh. The ll-year-long comprehensive sanctions imposed on Iraq have been at the centre of an intense debate in the United Nations and also in the international community. The strict control on Iraq's imports and exports has resulted in a steady decline in the living conditions of the Iraqi people. It is doubtful whether the objective of alleviating the distress of the people of Iraq through the oil-for-food programme has been fully achieved. It is therefore incumbent on the United Nations, as well as on the world community, to seriously examine the situation in Iraq, taking a comprehensive approach and focusing particularly on the humanitarian condition of the people of Iraq.”

We believe that the international community should increase its support to enable NGOs and women's groups to reach across the ethnic divide. Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) provides for greater participation in peace negotiations and in the political process by women. Such involvement of women's groups and networks in Kosovo needs to be ensured by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). We hope that UNMIK will take immediate steps to work closely with these groups which are committed to the broader objectives of the United Nations in their work.”
