  1. “The new challenges to international peace and security are to be addressed using instruments that promote capacity-building and the strengthening of national institutions. That kind of cooperative focus will inevitably be more effective and have more sustainable results than attempts to punish, isolate or repress. Assistance and cooperation, rather than coercion, must be our watchwords.”

  2. “In most cases, the exacerbation of existing disputes resulting from the effects of climate change arises from the lack of financial and technological resources for adaptation. That underlines the need for political, economic and humanitarian approaches to those issues. While security tools are appropriate to deal with specific threats to international peace and security, they are ill- suited to facing climate change. Effectively fighting climate change and dealing with its myriad implications must be a priority for the international community. That underscores the importance of redoubling our efforts to achieve ambitious results in international negotiations on climate change.”

  3. “Certainly, the Secretariat must do a better job of internal coordination and of cooperating with the agencies, funds and programmes. However, Member States must also work harder to ensure the consistency of the guidance that they give through the Security Council, the General Assembly, the Executive Boards and other organs. Over the past few months, my delegation has had the opportunity to discuss, in this Chamber, our position on the links between security and such issues as organized crime, HIV/AIDS and the adverse impact of climate change. Today, I will briefly reiterate our position on the last of those issues. There are clear links between climate change and development and between security and development. The possible security implications of climate change are far less obvious.”

  4. “That is the approach we took in promoting our debate on the interdependence of security and development in February. I will give two concrete examples. First of all, the Security Council must have access to a greater scope of information. Even though it does not deal directly with economic, environmental or health issues, the Council must know where those issues exist and the specific way in which they interact with the security situation in each specific situation on its agenda. The presidential statements on development (S/PRST/2011/4) and on the possible security implications of climate change (S/PRST/2011/15) have language along those lines. Secondly, in every thematic area, the Council must work harder to understand the operational issues that hamper the integration of the various aspects of the reality on the ground.”

  5. “The issue of Security Council encroachment on the prerogatives of other United Nations bodies, in particular the General Assembly, still worries a number of delegations, including my own. The Council must recognize and pay attention to the fact that a significant number of Member States continue to be uneasy at the political and legal implications of Council engagement on issues such as climate change. Faced with that scenario, our only alternative is the path of genuine dialogue with the larger membership and of extreme care in treating thematic issues as direct threats to international peace and security. A legitimate way to advance the discussion without raising concerns is to highlight and explore how the Council's security work can be better integrated with the development and human rights work of other actors.”

  6. “I also welcome the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Executive Director Yury Fedotov, High Commissioner Antonio Guterres, and Director-General Margaret Chan, and I thank them for their very interesting briefings. The large number of thematic debates and briefings that the Council has held over the past few years has demonstrated that Member States are interested in engaging with the complex and interrelated nature of global security challenges. It is not enough to address only the most obvious and immediate face of threats. The Council has been clear regarding the need for a long-term View, which takes into account both preventive actions and post-conflict efforts to build truly sustainable peace. However, there is the unavoidable issue of legitimate action and potential encroachment.”

  7. “Mrs. Machado (Brazil) (spoke in Portuguese; English text provided by the delegation): At the outset, allow me to congratulate the Portuguese delegation for the manner in which it has guided the work of this Council. Its dedication to transparency and to the involvement of all of the members of the Council and the Organization in this body's work is a testament to Portugal's commitment to the strengthening of multilateralism. In that regard, we understand the usefulness of this stock-taking of the Security Council's engagement with issues that have not traditionally been on its agenda. The concept note circulated by your delegation (S/20ll/6668, annex) is informative in recalling the recent history of that engagement. (spoke in English) I am grateful to the Secretary-General for his useful comments.”

  8. “The joint transition plan is a positive measure that will allow adequate planning for the post-UNMIT period and the continuity of international cooperation in the areas in which the Timorese Government identifies a need for assistance. Brazil has supported Timor-Leste through a large number of bilateral and trilateral cooperation projects. We will continue to work together on programmes in a broad range of areas, including agriculture, education, justice and security. The Timorese have reason to be proud. Their successful journey has not always been the rule in similar situations. The case of Timor-Leste stands out as an example in post-conflict situations. The Timorese people and Government have been able to mobilize their efforts, with the help of UNMIT, and rediscover the way to peace and development.”

  9. “The greatest sign of Timor-Leste's maturity is the healthy political process that is in place in preparation for the elections next year. The constructive and peaceful political debate between the Government and the opposition is exemplary. The fact that the country's third elections, to be held in 2012, coincide with the tenth anniversary celebration of the restoration of independence, is of great symbolic significance. Brazil praises the important contribution of UNMIT to the success of Timor-Leste. The Mission has played a fundamental role in supporting the country with the tasks necessary for its progress. Brazil believes that it is important for Timor-Leste to extend the positive results obtained with UNMIT's support to such areas as transition and capacity-building.”

  10. “These are signs of the consolidation of an active political class and of a society that is conscious of what the country needs to move forward. The increasing international integration of Timor- Leste - for example, its membership in the Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries, as well as through other initiatives, such as its drive to join the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which we hope will be successful - is a springboard that will benefit not only the Timorese, but the international community as a whole. The integration of Timorese military officers into Portuguese contingents in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon demonstrates that the country is beginning to make its own contribution to the efforts of the international community.”

  11. “The fact that the goals to be reached by Timor-Leste are now of a socio-economic and institutional nature is a demonstration that the former challenges of conflict and instability have been overcome. Moreover, new obstacles are already also being surpassed. Although there may still be need for progress, Timor-Leste has made its way steadily towards the necessary improvements. The country has had accelerated economic growth and laid the bases for investment and infrastructure development. Social indicators have improved significantly. In the institutional sphere, the Timorese Government has made efforts to create mechanisms for the protection of human rights, programmes for the fight against corruption and for the promotion of transparency.”

  12. “Today's debate gives us the opportunity to acknowledge the country's success in the course it has chosen despite the many challenges along the way. The current situation in Timor-Leste shows that those who doubted the ability of the Timorese people to progress towards political stability, security and development were mistaken. In the security sector, we welcome the transfer of police responsibilities to the Policia Nacional de Timor-Leste. UNMIT's efforts in the transition and its capacity-building programmes have played an important role in consolidating national police force. The continuing calm and stability in the country are a clear sign of the success of this process.”

  13. “Mrs. Crivano Machado (Brazil) (spoke in Portuguese; English text provided by the delegation): I welcome you, Sir, in your capacity as President of the Security Council. I reiterate Brazil's support for the Portuguese presidency and our satisfaction with the holding of this debate on Timor-Leste. I would also like to welcome Minister Zacarias Albano da Costa and express my appreciation for his presence in the Council. I thank Special Representative Ameerah Haq for her briefing and congratulate her on her leadership of the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor- Leste (UNMIT) and for her efforts in support of the country. Timor-Leste has shown a remarkable capacity to overcome the difficulties it has faced in the last decades.”
