“Others - and I want to mention in particular the ECOMOG commanders, but also some foreign observers in Freetown - claim that more substantial deliveries have been reported, including by truck and by helicopter. The President of Liberia, Mr. Charles Taylor, with whom I had the opportunity to raise these issues, said that he could not dispute that some, though less significant, trafficking of arms did indeed come through Liberia, but he also stated clearly that his Government was not involved in this. He also denied reports that we had heard, that rebel leaders had been allowed to travel freely into his country. When we were there, President Taylor reiterated the proposal he had previously made to the President of Sierra Leone on setting up a system of joint border controls with that country.”

“Although some of the resupplies seem to come from looting and attacks within the country itself, arms and ammunition are reportedly also coming in from the outside, and that is obviously in contravention of the mandatory Security Council resolution. The land borders of Sierra Leone with both Guinea and Liberia are very porous and difficult to monitor. But there is a strong perception in Sierra Leone that outside support of this kind is indeed coming in from Liberia. No tangible evidence was presented to us, and the quantities of the reported deliveries are difficult to assess. Some of our interlocutors referred to this as a trickle of arms.”

“Let me conclude these general observations by commending the very efficient and important work carried out by UNOMSIL. I believe that that mission is an excellent example of how a relatively small United Nations presence, with the right mix of components, can play a very significant role. That goes for the military observers, but also for a very dedicated team of human rights staff as well as for the civilian police element. Turning now to the question of sanctions, of course it is obvious that these are not fully implemented. We heard many reports of arms and ammunition getting through to the rebels from outside Sierra Leone.”

“When speaking about the issue of the war in Sierra Leone, I would also like to emphasize the importance of the regional approach. The relation between Sierra Leone and Liberia is, of course, particularly relevant. Important steps towards the building of renewed confidence have been taken by the Secretary-General, and these are now being vigorously pursued by both Mr. Okelo and Mr. Downes- Thomas, as the Representatives of the Secretary-General in the two countries. I would also like to mention the efforts of the United States and of the Reverend Jesse Jackson to try to reinvigorate the Mano River Union; we feel that these are bearing encouraging results as well. Both President Kabbah in Sierra Leone and President Taylor in Liberia expressed to us their commitment to pursue the track of bilateral cooperation.”

“As we have seen in the report of the Secretary- General, there is quite a discussion in Sierra Leone these days about executions: those that took place earlier this fall and a number of further death sentences that have been handed down and which have all been appealed. Speaking not for the sanctions Committee but in my capacity as Sweden's representative to the United Nations, I pleaded with the authorities in Sierra Leone, including the President, not to make further use of the death penalty - for reasons of principle to us, but also for the sake of succeeding in the reconciliation efforts. It is my feeling that there is a readiness to attempt to heed such pleas, even if that is by no means assured in each individual case.”

“And I think it is proper, also for the sake of the children, to plead with the Government of Sierra Leone to continue to make very serious efforts at national reconciliation. That is the only way to provide a sound and secure future for the country - and the children are our future. It is hard to see that any military solution to the conflict can provide a lasting peace in Sierra Leone. In that context, it is also difficult to find Viable alternatives to initiating a dialogue. Attempts to reach out towards a peaceful solution are now being made by the Government, and I strongly believe that this should be encouraged and that no effort ought to be spared to get the rebels to lay down their arms and surrender.”

“Of course, they are heavily traumatized, fed violence and destruction for a large part of their lives, and I think one of the biggest challenges ahead will be to integrate the surviving children of Sierra Leone into a society where identity is based on respect and common norms, and not on carrying a loaded rifle. These children should be able to go to school and to play with their friends. They should be able to be with their families and not grow up with fighters as their role models. I would like to plead, in the strongest possible terms, that special attention be given to the situation of the children of Sierra Leone in the international support provided for the reconstruction of the country.”

“I therefore found reason during my Visit to share with the relevant actors, in my national capacity, our View of the importance of showing respect for humanitarian law and of reaching out to civilians in a crisis such as this. Of particular concern when looking into this conflict is the extreme burden carried by the children of Sierra Leone. They have become victims on both sides, and we know that, unfortunately, this is not a new problem in this region. Many of these young children were abducted long ago into the ranks of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), and they are now - some of them perhaps at the age of only eight or ten - some of the fiercest fighters in the war.”

“Pictures of maimed children are now circulating in world media, and when one has learned about these gruesome acts at first hand, it is not hard to understand the strong calls for an international criminal court that are arising out of this situation. The humanitarian situation is also serious, and of particular concern, as Under-Secretary-General Miyet emphasized, is the fact that parts of the country remain out of reach for humanitarian organizations, and therefore we do not know the full scope of the tragic situation. We did hear some complaints about ECOMOG and the Civil Defence Forces (CDF) sometimes having made humanitarian access difficult.”

“However, logistical restraints do remain, and during our talks with the Force Commanders, we were asked directly to transmit requests for stronger international support. The acts of terror committed against civilians by the rebels in Sierra Leone are absolutely horrendous. It is hard to find words strong enough to describe these atrocities; they even use mutilation to spread their terror, simply cutting off parts of the body of their victims with large knives. They cut off arms and legs, even noses and ears. They burn men, women and children alive. According to the United Nations Observer Mission in Sierra Leone (UNOMSIL) more than 4,000 people have been either summarily executed or mutilated since April this year.”

“Their activities, which we all know bring immense human suffering in their wake, are both highly mobile and unpredictable: defeated in one part of the country, they have been able to remobilize and to increase their terror in other parts. Right now, we understand there is intense rebel activity in the north-western part of the country, and that has raised tensions in the capital even further. Of course, this has made it difficult for the people of Sierra Leone to return fully to normal life. This applies, above all, to the more than half a million people who are internally displaced persons or refugees in other countries. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) is generally seen to be doing a good job at promoting stability and helping extend safety to the people of Sierra Leone.”

“And it may be important to mention at the outset that the absence of accurate and verifiable information in a civil war situation such as the one in Sierra Leone should serve as a warning not to rush to conclusions. Absolute facts are hard to come by - in particular regarding Violations of sanctions - but one thing is indisputable, and obvious even to a visitor who stays there for less than a week: the situation in Sierra Leone is tense, and as we heard from Under-Secretary-General Miyet, it has not got any better lately. Although Freetown is liberated together with other parts of the country, Sierra Leone is still plagued by a civil war and the rebels have proved to be a very tough target.”

“So my primary assignment during that visit was to study the implementation of the sanctions that are currently in place against the rebel forces in Sierra Leone. These, as members know, include an arms embargo on the non-governmental forces, as well as a travel ban for the members of the military junta. Yesterday we had an informal meeting of the sanctions Committee to talk about some conclusions, in some detail. But, of course, I also came back with some general impressions regarding the crisis in that country, about which I would like to say a few words today. It has been said that one of the first victims of war is the truth.”

“I am grateful for this opportunity to brief the Security Council about my visit last week to Sierra Leone and Liberia. I undertook that visit in my capacity as Chairman of the Sierra Leone sanctions Committee, and the Council will recall that, in its follow-up to the Secretary-General's report on Africa, it recommended that those of us who chair sanctions committees ought also to visit the areas we deal with in these committees from time to time for the purpose, of course, of obtaining better information at firsthand, but also to show a presence and to make it clear that we who impose sanctions by adopting resolutions in this Chamber are also actively engaged in their implementation and in making sure that they are enforced.”

“The Secretary-General said earlier tonight that this was a sad day for the United Nations and for the world. My Government regrets these air attacks and the consequences they may have for civilians in Iraq. We also regret the fact that the Security Council has been presented with a fait accompli - that we did not even get a chance to conclude our evaluation of the latest developments before military action was a fact. We fear that this will not be of much help in getting the inspections going again, because the Council's overriding aim must remain to rid Iraq of its programmes for developing these awful weapons of mass destruction.”

“We are the ones who should decide the course of action. And I can state tonight, as I have before, that when Iraq seriously violates its obligations, and when all diplomatic means have been exhausted, my Government would even be ready to support a decision in the Council on military action, as a last resort. But that would be a decision for the Security Council. Now, without such a decision, military action was taken against Iraq a few hours ago. These air strikes were carried out just as the members of the Council were meeting in informal consultations, discussing the latest report from the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) on Iraq's cooperation and also the Secretary- General's letter, which he had sent to us late last night.”

“It is not difficult to say who is to blame for the crisis between Iraq and the United Nations, a crisis which has been such a large part of the entire workload of the Security Council during the two years that we have sat at this table. It is the Government of Iraq that again and again has refused to abide by the clear obligations which a unanimous Security Council has decided upon. It is also clear that Iraq has not fulfilled the promise it made to the Secretary-General only a month ago: to cooperate fully and without conditions with the United Nations weapons inspectors. This has provided a difficult challenge for the Security Council, because the question of Iraqi compliance is indeed a matter for this Council to deal with. We around this table are responsible for ensuring the implementation of the Council's resolutions.”

“For example, we could foresee cases where Council members and troop contributors would benefit from meeting with the Secretariat, United Nations agencies and the Bretton Woods institutions specifically to discuss a transition from one kind of United Nations presence to another. We think that we have a responsibility not to close an operation unless we have a clear View of the road ahead, and unless we know that what has been invested to bring about peace will be followed up and will be maintained. Today's open debate is proof in itself of the importance of post-conflict peace-building in the work of the Security Council. I hope that it will prove possible to follow up today's discussion, both in decisions relating to specific conflicts before the Council and as a thematic issue of key importance.”

“One of the most difficult is perhaps that of ensuring coherence, coordination and dialogue between the bodies of the United Nations system and other actors involved in post- conflict efforts. We strongly welcome the continued development of the strategic framework within the United Nations. We firmly support the idea of the strategic framework as a tool enabling the United Nations to respond to crisis situations in a comprehensive, coherent and effective manner. From the perspective of the Security Council, it is obviously important that there not be a vacuum in a transition between operations mandated by the Council and other peace-building efforts.”
1998-12-16 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.3954 (1998) · source
“Other important peace-building elements are the transformation of armed movements into civilian parties and support for the restructuring of police and armed forces. Experience also shows the importance of strengthening the judicial system, demining, reconciliation and confidence-building measures, as well as international support for elections. We attach particular importance to efforts to deal with refugees and other displaced persons in the post-conflict phase. The concentration of such groups in temporary settlements has obvious implications for the stability of the host country or area, and the repatriation and return of refugees and displaced persons is not always a smooth process. I began by speaking of challenges.”

“Even when post-conflict peace-building elements are not included in the original mandate of a peacekeeping operation, recommendations concerning the transitional period and the post-conflict phase should be included in the decision on the final drawdown of the operation, and multifunctional elements with the aim of ensuring sustainable peace and security can, of course, also be added during the conduct of an operation, for instance at the time of mandate extensions. Post-conflict peace-building efforts may include demobilization, disarmament and reintegration into society of former combatants. Special attention is all too often called for to address the plight of child soldiers.”

“Multifunctional operations are playing an increasingly important role, as evidenced by the successful efforts of the United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic, and we fully agree with the Secretary-General that peace-building elements should be explicitly and clearly integrated into the mandates of peacekeeping operations. We encourage the Secretary- General to pursue this approach when making recommendations to the Council on new peacekeeping operations. We hope that when planning for a possible peacekeeping operation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, such an integrated approach will also be considered. That is a conflict where there can be little doubt that a lasting solution will require comprehensive long-term efforts by the international community.”

“The Council also has a responsibility to ensure that the transition to the post-conflict phase is as smooth as possible, whether or not that entails decisions to change a United Nations presence on the ground or to end an operation mandated by the Council. The United Nations role in the peace process in Guatemala is a particularly clear example of post-conflict peace-building in action, an effort which involved the Security Council and the General Assembly, as well as United Nations agencies. It is also an example of the value of integrating a peace-building perspective in peace agreements themselves. The mandates of United Nations peacekeeping operations must also include the elements needed to help secure a lasting peace.”

“We welcome the fact that he has attached such importance to the establishment of post-conflict peace-building structures as one way of helping countries recover from conflict. The United Nations Office in Liberia, for example, which I visited last week, is the latest example of such a peace- building presence, and we hope that the Secretary-General will consider establishing a United Nations post-conflict presence in other situations as well. Clearly, the Security Council has a responsibility to ensure that its efforts to prevent conflict and promote peace are followed by measures aimed at preventing the resurgence of conflict and the strengthening of peace, stability and reconciliation. When possible, these long- term aims should be taken into account at an early stage of the Council's deliberations on a particular crisis or conflict.”

“A long-term and comprehensive perspective is necessary to resolve conflicts and to consolidate peace. This perspective is evident in the Secretary-General's report entitled "The causes of conflict and the promotion of durable peace and sustainable development in Africa." It is clear that building lasting peace will require solutions that encompass development, democracy, human rights, conflict prevention and resolution, peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance. All these elements are necessary in order to prevent war and to ensure human security, and they are all directly relevant to the responsibility of the Security Council under the Charter. The Secretary-General plays a crucial role in the peace-building efforts of the United Nations.”

“My delegation, too, very much welcomes your initiative, Mr. President, for an open debate in the Security Council on the maintenance of peace and security and post-conflict peace-building. The title of the agenda item for this debate reflects some of the most important challenges facing the Council and the United Nations as a whole today. We know that the absence of war is not the same as a lasting peace. We know that a ceasefire is seldom the end of conflict, but should hopefully be the beginning of peace. We know from all too many situations how difficult it is to sustain a peace which is kept but not truly built. And we know that finding durable solutions to complex conflicts requires cooperation across institutional boundaries between organizations and States.”

“If we have time, it will also be interesting to hear the High Commissioner elaborate somewhat further on how she assesses prospects for minority repatriation in Bosnia and Croatia in 1999. The question we ask is, of course, whether the major UNHCR effort in Kosovo will affect engagement in Bosnia and Herzegovina financially and otherwise.”

“We would hope that the outcome of these and other discussions that we are having on the follow-up to the report would be to make the Council and other parts of the United Nations system better prepared to deal with difficult security issues in crisis situations. I hope that the High Commissioner will continue to keep the Security Council informed on refugee issues raising security concerns. One question that I would like to address to Mrs. Ogata is how she feels that one could bridge the gap, as it were, between the traditional UNHCR mandate and the Council's responsibility for international peace and security, in order to make the lateral options reality. Is there a need for new mechanisms for cooperation or for a better use of existing ones? It will be interesting to hear her comments on that.”

“Two examples of that are the follow-up to the Secretary- General's report on Africa and his report on protection for humanitarian assistance, with largely, I would say, overlapping recommendations and conclusions. My delegation particularly appreciated Mrs. Ogata's comments on the work to develop a range of options to create secure environments for civilians endangered by conflict, as well as what she said on the role of the Security Council, UNHCR and other actors in the most serious situations when security problems escalate. The members of the Security Council are right now negotiating a draft resolution on the security of refugee camps and settlements as part of our follow-up to the Secretary-General's report on Africa.”

“We welcome this briefing as part of a regular exchange of views between the Security Council and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). My delegation also welcomes the format of this briefing and I want to thank you, Sir, for arranging it. We hope that this can also be a regular feature of the future work of the Council. Let me at the outset not only thank Mrs. Ogata for her comprehensive briefing, but also, on behalf of my Government, extend a strong tribute to her and to all those who work in the organization that she leads, not only for their immense efforts in the field all over the world, but also for the forward-looking ideas and suggestions that she has put forward here today to us. The Security Council lately has devoted increasing attention to refugee protection in a thematic manner.”

“It restates the Council's readiness to carry out a comprehensive review of Iraq's compliance with its obligations once Iraq has rescinded its decisions and resumed full cooperation with UNSCOM. and the IAEA. It is our sincere hope that the message embedded in these paragraphs - an exit sign, as it were, for the route out of sanctions - shall not be missed by Baghdad. Finally, a very important principle is reflected in the last paragraph of the draft resolution. The Security Council's primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, as laid down in the Charter of the United Nations, must not be circumvented. We see this paragraph as an expression of the desire of members to safeguard that responsibility. Sweden fully supports the draft resolution before us.”

“We are always ready to listen to the views of the Government of Iraq, but attempts to bargain with the Security Council over its resolutions cannot be accepted. In the draft resolution before us, the Security Council condemns Iraq's behaviour and confirms its demands on Iraq. That message cannot be misunderstood: Iraq must immediately rescind its unacceptable decisions of 5 August and 31 October and return to full compliance and cooperation. There is no room for compromise on these fundamental principles. At the same time, this draft resolution not only repeats the Council's demands; it also reaffirms that Iraq's compliance with all its obligations will make it possible for the Security Council to lift the sanctions, as stipulated in resolution 687 (1991).”

“On 31 October, Iraq announced its complete cessation of the little remaining cooperation it had offered to the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM). It also decided to continue to restrict the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The Iraqi decision was surprising, and somewhat incomprehensible, in the light of the important fact that the Security Council, the day before, had formulated a unified View on the concept of a comprehensive review of Iraqi compliance. Such a comprehensive review would, inter alia, have marked the road out of sanctions for Iraq. But it cannot take place until Iraq is back in full cooperation with UNSCOM. and the IAEA, and steps like those now being taken by Iraq will not bring it any closer to the lifting of sanctions.”
