  1. “Over the next few months, we will have to consider ways and means of increasing resources and, probably, the number of judges in the Appeals Chamber of the ICTY, which also hears Rwanda's appeals. We are convinced of the importance of finalizing the completion strategy by 2010, as set out in resolution 1503 (2003), in keeping with the norms and principles of due process.”

  2. “That cooperation manifested itself in the speedy extradition and transfer to The Hague of Mr. Milan Lukic, in February 2006. We hope that the most intensive efforts will be made to track and extradite the six high-level fugitives, in particular Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic. As is clearly stated in the report, this is an indispensable step in the peace, reconciliation and development process in the region. As regards the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, my delegation welcomes the start of trial proceedings for 27 persons, and we support the proposal to transfer some of the 15 detainees to national jurisdictions. We also take note of the fact that the cases of 54 persons have either been completed or are under way. We would like to urge that the Prosecutor continue to make intensive efforts to apprehend those still at large.”

  3. “We would especially like to underscore the more active role being played by pretrial judges in preparing cases, which should bring about greater cooperation and speed up trials. We also believe that all the measures referred to in paragraphs 20 and 27 (S/2006/353, annex 1) are useful, in particular those that will speed up the engagement of the defence. Proposals to limit the duration of pleadings by the defence and prosecutors should always be balanced against the requirements of due process. We support efforts to develop the requisite capacity in national jurisdictions to try intermediate and lower-ranking accused. We hope that the necessary funds will be forthcoming. Finally, we would like to point to my country's ongoing judicial cooperation with the Tribunal and with the Security Council.”

  4. “We also note with interest that the trials of multiple accused will begin in July and August this year, and that there has been a reduction in the number of cases awaiting trial. We believe that, despite the publicly known events that have taken place in the framework of the Tribunal, it has nevertheless been possible to affirm the responsibility of the perpetrators of genocide violations of international human rights, as well as to create the conditions necessary for the restoration of justice. We affirm our belief in the importance of the measures that have been adopted and the proposals that have been made by the working group on speeding up trials to implement the completion strategy.”

  5. “Mr. D'Alotto (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to express our thanks for the presentation of the biannual reports of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), and to Presidents Fausto Pocar and Erik Mose. We would also like to thank Prosecutors Carla Del Ponte and Hassan Bubacar J allow for their reports. With regard to the Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, we are pleased to note that the work done in the past six months has brought about progress in the completion strategy, both in the Trial Chamber, which is working to the fullest capacity, and in the Appeals Chamber, which is preparing cases for trial.”

  6. “Let me emphasize, however, that my delegation will insist that any future Security Council action on the basis of this resolution should be fully consistent with the relevant provisions of international law. It should not exceed the framework defined in the operative part of resolution 1559 (2004).”

  7. “We shall continue to affirm that the establishment of diplomatic relations and the delimitation of borders are matters which should be decided by the States involved through dialogue and negotiation without external interference. We encourage Lebanon and Syria to move forward in the coming months along this path, and we welcome the statement of high-level Syrian officials in that regard. In the process of negotiating this draft resolution, my delegation put forward a number of amendments in order to spell out the aforementioned position. A number of our suggestions were accepted by the sponsors and my country was therefore able to vote in favour of the draft resolution.”

  8. “For us, the best way to resolve those problems is through the Lebanese national dialogue that began last March. My delegation believes that the language of paragraph 4 of today's resolution should be interpreted in the light of the relevant provisions of international law on diplomatic affairs. The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations is specific in its determination that the establishment of diplomatic relations and mutual diplomatic representation must take place through mutual consent of the States involved. My country does not believe that the Security Council should become involved in these matters, which are solely of a bilateral nature. Argentina believes that paragraph 4 of today's resolution does not establish a precedent that could be invoked in the future on this issue or on other agenda items of the Council.”

  9. “Mr. D'Alotto (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): My delegation wishes to explain its vote in favour of resolution 1680 (2006), which the Council has just adopted. My delegation supports the implementation of all the provisions of resolution 1559 (2004), which remains the basic text to guide the work of the Security Council on this issue. In that regard, my country does not believe it necessary to reinterpret the operative paragraphs of that resolution or to keep saddling the parties with additional obligations. In our opinion, we must pursue the implementation of that resolution and find a satisfactory solution to such issues as the disarmament and disbanding of the Lebanese militias and the extension of Lebanese authority throughout the territory of the country.”

  10. “Finally, and in accordance with the Secretary- General's recommendations in his report, my delegation reiterates here its message of support for the timely convening of the second International Conference on Peace, Security, Democracy and Development in the Great Lakes Region of Africa, to be held in Nairobi, Kenya, with a View to adopting a pact on security, stability and development to ensure a future of peace and sustained progress in the region.”

  11. “Once a peace accord has been reached, structural change may be an effective tool to guarantee peace and stability. In our opinion, the granting of amnesty for grave violations of human rights as a strategy to end a conflict has not had positive long-term results, since the combating parties rarely put down their weapons, while lasting peace cannot be reached without reconciliation within society. Only by bringing to justice all violators of human rights and international humanitarian law will it be possible to end the culture of impunity, thus promoting a solid starting point for long-term stability for the countries of the region. Argentina is committed to the defence of those values and principles and therefore supports the draft resolution prepared by the Tanzanian delegation.”

  12. “Equally essential has been the will of the peoples of the region to opt for democratic and inclusive solutions. We do not believe that acts of the past must inevitably be repeated in the future. Structural changes, such as coordinated assistance in the creation of stable institutions, the reconstruction and development of countries during the post-conflict period - inter alia, by the recently established Peacebuilding Commission - and an end to impunity at the national level for violators of human rights and humanitarian law, or at the supranational level by the constitution of international tribunals or by the action of the International Criminal Court, may generate the necessary incentives to reduce the recurrence of conflicts in the region.”

  13. “Those advances have been made possible by several circumstances, including stronger and more decisive collaboration among Governments of the subregion; the efforts of the African Union and other multilateral organs; the organization of such international conferences as that on peace, security, democracy and development in the Great Lakes region which took place in Dar es-Salaam in November 2004; greater cooperation in decision-making between the Security Council and regional organizations; the tireless efforts of peacekeeping missions in the region; the assistance of donor countries; and the ongoing monitoring by non-governmental organizations of human rights violations committed by the parties to conflicts, as well as of the need for humanitarian assistance.”

  14. “However, a democratically elected Government in Burundi and progress in the transition towards democratic elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are advances that encourage hope for a future of peace, stability and progress for the region.”

  15. “Mr. D'Alotto (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to thank you, Madam, and the delegation of Tanzania for organizing this open debate on such an important subject as peace, security and development in the Great Lakes region of Africa. Through the decades, that region has had to face civil wars and conflicts among countries of the region that have caused terrible suffering through grave human rights violations, the internal displacement of civilians and refugees, and the destruction of property and national economies. Unfortunately, such facts have been a historic constant for all those nations, especially during their period of foundation. The Great Lakes region has been no exception.”

  16. “As my delegation has indicated on previous occasions, it is only through concerted action to combat impunity for grave violations of human rights and international humanitarian law that we can promote the development of judicial institutions and the reconciliation necessary to achieve a sustainable society.”

  17. “Argentina urges full compliance with the Dayton Agreements and the effective implementation of the relevant commitments, particularly cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia as one of the means of strengthening justice and the rule of law in societies that, like Bosnia and Herzegovina, have experienced conflict situations. We appeal to the authorities to support the Tribunal's work and to contribute to its efforts to ensure that accused persons who have not yet been brought to justice appear before the Tribunal.”

  18. “In that connection, we have confidence in the authorities' commitment to resolve outstanding issues so that the transition can finally be made from the country's "Dayton era" to its "Brussels era". We also wish to highlight the efforts of the European Union-led multinational stabilization force and its central role in supporting the key objectives of the development process. There is no question that, should the Council consider the matter, we are prepared to renew the authorization for the mission. Moreover, my delegation agrees with Lord Ashdown's proposal to replace some international arrangements established in the context of Dayton with other arrangements that better reflect the progress made in the past 10 years, which will enable Bosnia and Herzegovina to fully develop its potential.”

  19. “In fact, as the report indicates, the authorities have made progress in meeting the requirements for the commencement of negotiations with the European Union and with NATO. Those actions, nearly 10 years after the implementation of the Dayton-Paris accords began, demonstrate the authorities' resolve to ensure the effective implementation of the commitments undertaken in those agreements. Despite all that progress, however, we must once again express the hope that full cooperation develops with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, particularly with regard to bringing Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic before the Tribunal and the need to implement legislation in keeping with the principles of community institutions in specific areas, such as police reform.”

  20. “Mr. D'Alotto (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): Permit me to join previous speakers in thanking Lord Paddy Ashdown, High Representative for the Implementation of the Peace Agreement in Bosnia and Herzegovina, for the comprehensive report (S/2005/706, annex) that he has just presented to us regarding developments in the situation in that country. Given that it was his last report to the Council, we should like to highlight Lord Ashdown's commitment and dedication in carrying out his duties since he assumed his mandate in May 2002 and to thank him for his efforts to move the peacebuilding process forward in Bosnia and Herzegovina. With regard to the information received, my delegation appreciates the efforts made to ensure that Bosnia and Herzegovina embarks on the path of full Euro-Atlantic integration.”

  21. “Systematic cooperation of the United Nations with regional organizations would increase the capacity of the United Nations to prevent conflicts, respond quickly in the event of a conflict and provide solutions for the construction of lasting peace. The draft resolution that will soon be adopted urges us to make progress in the right direction and Argentina fully agrees with these commitments.”

  22. “We have referred to the important role of regional organizations in the early detection of symptoms of conflict, the offering of solutions for peaceful resolution of conflicts and the elaboration of strategies in peace consolidation in the post-conflict phase. However, we must not forget the importance of establishing official cooperation agreements between the secretariats of regional and subregional organizations and the United Nations, incorporating, if possible, armed conflict prevention and peacekeeping capacities within the forces, services and back-up equipment system of the United Nations.”

  23. “This arrangement could now include the Peacebuilding Commission, which would act as a liaison body between the Security Council, other bodies of the United Nations and regional organizations and create new synergies in a post-conflict situation. By taking advantage of existing elements we avoid an unnecessary duplication of effort. Since there is a connection between security, peace and development, the specialized knowledge of regional organizations, whose original mandate used to focus on the stimulation of economic integration and commerce, may be valuable to guarantee success of the strategies for economic growth and stability in the long run.”

  24. “Institutional experience and operational capacity must be the bases for defining the areas in which regional organizations can cooperate with the United Nations. In this sense, the experience and cooperation in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti seems an eloquent example. The Organization of American States (OAS) has provided its specific technical knowledge and has collaborated actively in the political area, specifically in voter registration, in a very satisfactory manner. In this way, the regional organization, the OAS in this case, has given fundamental support to the final goal of peace and stability in Haiti. The Charter of the United Nations confers upon the Security Council the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security.”

  25. “The added value of the regional organization in this sense is that it belongs to a geographic, economic and social environment that, in a special way, brings it closer and makes it more sensitive to the local conflict. The tasks of prevention and warning may, in many cases, require this proximity as an essential condition, as does the important function of stabilization in the construction of a stable environment. Consultation mechanisms, both formal and informal, must be promoted because they allow the United Nations to take advantage of the perspectives they offer and vice versa. When our universal Organization examines a specific conflict, before it takes action in the field, it should, under ideal circumstances, receive the opinion and advice of the relevant regional organization and give it due consideration.”

  26. “The future creation of the Peacebuilding Commission, together with the commitment of world leaders regarding the necessity to strengthen the United Nations with a view towards making it more efficient and effective, mean that cooperation with regional organizations has become a priority subject on the agenda of the United Nations. Regional organizations have the relative advantage of proximity to the conflict zone, which allows for a timely detection of symptoms of conflict in the region and the possibility of acting quickly to offer effective solutions for the peaceful settlement of conflicts. A recent example of this has involved the African Union and the Economic Community of West Africa in regard to events in certain African regions.”

  27. “Mr. Garcia Moritan (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): My delegation feels highly honoured by your presence, and we should like to thank you for the initiative of the delegation of Romania to hold this public meeting on the subject of cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations in maintaining international peace and security. We should also like to express our pleasure at the presence of the representatives of regional and subregional organizations, as well as that of the Secretary-General of the United Nations.”
