1. “Upon receipt of this report, it expresses its intention to take further action to strengthen and enhance the protection of civilians in armed conflict including, if necessary, a possible resolution in this regard." That statement will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/2005/25. There are no further speakers on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The meeting rose at 1.40 p.m.”

2. “"The Council is gravely concerned about limited progress on the ground to ensure the effective protection of civilians in situations of armed conflict. It stresses in particular the urgent need for providing better physical protection for displaced populations as well as for other vulnerable groups, in particular women and children. Efforts should be focused in areas where these populations and groups are most at risk. At the same time, it considers that contributing to the establishment of a secure environment for all vulnerable populations should be a key objective of peacekeeping operations. "The Council invites, accordingly, the Secretary-General to include in his next report recommendations on ways to better address the persisting and emerging protection challenges in the evolving peacekeeping environment.”

3. “I thank Mr. Egeland for his comments. Following consultations among members of the Security Council, I have been authorized to make the following statement on behalf of the Council. "The Security Council, recalling its resolutions 1265 (1999) and 1296 (2000) as well as statements made by its Presidents on the protection of civilians in armed conflict, reiterates its commitment to address the widespread impact of armed conflict on civilian populations. "The Council reaffirms its strong condemnation of the deliberate targeting of civilians or other protected persons in situations of armed conflict, and calls upon all parties to put an end to such practices. It expresses in particular its deep concerns at the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. It calls upon all States to put an end to impunity also in this regard.”

5. “In order to ensure that we manage our time properly, and with a View to enabling as many delegations to take the floor as possible, I shall not invite individual speakers to take a seat at the Council table. When a representative takes the floor, the Conference Officer will seat the following speaker at the table. The next speaker is the representative of Peru, on whom I now call.”

6. “The obligation to punish and the obligation to protect are the primary responsibilities of States, and it is at that level that impunity must be combated first and foremost. However, when a State fails to act, international justice - specifically, the International Criminal Court - is an essential recourse for States, as well as for the Council. Since the most recent resolution - adopted by the Council in 2000 - on the protection of civilians, and, more broadly, since the first mandates for peacekeeping operations that included a protection component, the context has changed a great deal. I believe that the time has come to consider adopting a new resolution, taking account of such developments and offering guidance for the future. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

7. “That principle reaffirms the primary responsibility of States to protect civilians on their territory; hence there is no interference. In the event that the State concerned fails to act, the international community has a duty to do so, including through the Security Council. I am convinced that heads of State or Government, meeting in New York in September, will be able to reach agreement on that principle. We must also deal with the vicious cultural circle of violence. Given a certain level of chaos and lawlessness, even those who are normally victims become executioners. That can be seen today in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where not only combatants, but also civilians themselves, commit acts of sexual violence. In the face of such intolerable aberrations, the fight against impunity is an absolute imperative.”

8. “We must ensure that there is a correlation between the mandate to protect, assigned to peacekeeping operations, and the resources provided for the execution of that mandate. That is particularly important when it comes to the physical protection of the most vulnerable. Mr. Egeland rightly emphasized that point. We must give further thought to realistic and effective solutions, taking account of past experience, especially that of the United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC). When acute crises occur in the matter of protection characterized by mass violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, we must be able to apply the principle of the responsibility to protect.”

9. “Egeland said, the situation of civilian populations remains very precarious and is often intolerable. That is particularly the case in the Congo and in the Sudan. Sexual violence is becoming commonplace. Forced displacement is used as a tactic of war. Humanitarian personnel are harassed and attacked. The kidnapping in Ituri of two members of the non-governmental organization Doctors without Borders is a recent example. And the emergence of new crises - in Nepal, for example - is another new cause for concern. How do we respond to that situation? Mr. Egeland has provided some ideas on how to strengthen the protection framework. I imagine he will develop those ideas in his next report to the Council. For my part, I should like to comment on three points. First of all, there is, of course, a problem of resources.”

10. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of France. I thank Mr. Egeland for his important statement. I should like to begin by saying that I fully associate myself with the statement to be made by the representative of Luxembourg on behalf of the European Union. These twice yearly debates remain essential, in my view, because several factors are making the protection of civilians in armed conflict more difficult than ever before. Those factors are well known: the internal nature of today's conflicts and the increasing fragility of international law. I would add that heightened global awareness is causing some situations to be perceived as totally unacceptable. What has happened since our last debate, in December 2004? On the ground, as Mr.”

Thus, we believe it will be the future Government's responsibility to finalize matters with the Secretary-General. We are confident in the resolve of the Burundian people to harmonize the concern for justice with the concern for reconciliation. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. I give the floor to Mr. Kiganahe to respond to comments and questions raised.”

But the Minister of Justice tells us that the Burundian Government supports the recommendations, which he says meet the two concerns of the Arusha negotiators and the Burundian people as a whole: first, establish the truth, and secondly, prosecute and punish the guilty. We hope that the discussions for the implementation of this agreement between the Secretary-General and the Burundian authorities can begin swiftly. It is important that the various actors concerned be consulted, because ownership of this process by the Burundian people themselves will guarantee its success.”

Two years ago there were questions regarding the advisability and feasibility of the mechanism that had been envisaged when the Arusha Agreement was signed. And then important political developments occurred that the Security Council could not ignore. I believe that we also had in mind the more recent experiences of efforts in other conflict situations - particularly in Sierra Leone - to establish the truth, promote reconciliation and prosecute those responsible for the most serious crimes. Therefore, we asked the Secretary-General to discuss the issue with the Burundian people. Today, I am very pleased that Mr. Kiganahe has come to confirm that the Transitional Government agrees with the Secretary-General's recommendations.”

Two years ago to the day, on 15 June 2003, the Security Council mission that I had the honour to lead in the region of Central Africa and the Great Lakes was in Bujumbura. I recall that all the actors of the Burundi transition process used the same words regarding the need to put an end to impunity. All of them expected a response from the Security Council with a view to establishing an international judicial commission of inquiry. Everyone knew how essential the issue of impunity is in understanding the Burundi conflict.”
