“"The Security Council expresses its concern and disappointment over the lack of progress in ameliorating the contention between the leaders of the TFIs, and over the non-functioning of the Transitional Federal Parliament (TFP), which has an essential role in promoting the peace process. The Council calls upon all Somali parties and the leaders of the TFIs to take concrete steps towards reaching a consensus agreement through inclusive dialogue without delay. The Council commends the Prime Minister's Initiative for the early convening of a full Council of Ministers in Mogadishu, to be followed by a full session of Parliament. The Council underlines that primary responsibility for progress in restoring an effective functioning government to Somalia lies with the leaders and members of the TFIs.”

“"The Security Council welcomes the report of the Secretary-General of 11 October 2005 (S/2005/642) and reaffirms its commitment to a comprehensive and lasting settlement of the situation in Somalia and its respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence and unity of Somalia, consistent with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. "The Security Council expresses its concern over recent reported military activities and hostile rhetoric, and emphasizes that any resort to military force as a means for dealing with the current difference within the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs) is unacceptable.

“Bearing in mind the appeal from the Iraqi side that the resolution not address that issue, as well as the ongoing consultations between Baghdad and the League of Arab States on the organization of an inter-Iraqi conference under the League's auspices, we thought it expedient not to insist on including in the resolution a provision on international follow-up to the Iraqi political process. At the same time, we are convinced that significant international input will be necessary in the next phase to complete the process in Iraq, as it will facilitate the promotion of the inter-Iraqi dialogue to achieve national reconciliation. In conclusion, I would note that Russia stresses the importance of a constructive atmosphere, including here in the Security Council, to the success of an Iraqi settlement.”

“The resolution will allow the Iraqi security forces to assume full responsibility for maintaining long-term stability and security in the country, permitting the multinational force to fulfil its mandate and fully to withdraw from Iraq. The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq has its work cut out for it. It must, in the near future, resolve the significant challenges of organizing the elections and promoting mutual understanding among the various factions of Iraqi society. We and the sponsors made concessions in the drafting of the resolution. On the Russian side in particular, we felt it necessary to include a reference to the need to convene a new international meeting on Iraq.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the Russian Federation. I wish first to thank the sponsors of today's resolution. We studied it carefully and suggested certain amendments to make the document more relevant to contemporary realities in Iraq. Some of our proposals are reflected in the text. We welcome the outcome of the involved consultations on the document, which reflects the great complexity of the situation in Iraq. It was important that the document reflect the basic principles of an Iraqi settlement: respect for the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the necessity of holding a national dialogue aimed at achieving reconciliation among all sectors of Iraqi society.”

“I wish to point out to members of the Council that two candidates share the same surname, namely, Mr. Bernardo Sepulveda Amor, Mexico's candidate, and Mr. Abdelfattah Amor, Tunisia's candidate. In order to avoid any confusion, Mexico's candidate has requested that he appear as Mr. Bernardo Sepulveda in the ballot to be distributed to members. No such request was made by Tunisia's candidate; his name will therefore appear as Mr. Abdelfattah Amor. I hope that serves to clarify matters. No withdrawal will be accepted once ballot papers have been distributed. However, it would be possible to withdraw between ballots. Members of the Council will be requested to place an "X" in the boxes next to the names of the candidates for whom they wish to vote.

The voting will be held by secret ballot. When we proceed to the vote, members of the Council will receive a ballot paper containing the names of all the candidates.

If, in the first ballot, the number of candidates obtaining an absolute majority is less than five, then, pursuant to rule 61 of the provisional rules of procedure of the Security Council, the Council will proceed to a second ballot on the remaining vacancies. Balloting will then continue in the same manner until five candidates have obtained the required majority of votes.”

“I should like to inform the members of the Council that I have received a letter addressed to me by the Legal Counsel, dated 2 November 2005, in which he informs me, on behalf of the Secretary-General, that after the established deadline for the filing of nominations, namely, 30 June 2005, several national groups submitted nominations to the Secretariat. I should also like to draw members' attention to the fact that all such additional nominations relate to candidates already nominated by other national groups, whose names therefore already appear in document S/2005/447 and S/2005/447/Corr.l. The Legal Counsel recommended that, in accordance with established practice, I inform Council members orally on the day of the election about the decisions of the national groups I have just mentioned.”

“Bearing in mind the scope of the tasks pertaining to the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) and the limited time remaining before that Committee's mandate ends, we believe that resolving the issue of whether to extend the Committee's powers for two years beyond April 2006 is a pressing matter. We could have taken a decision on the matter in the Security Council before the end of the current period of the Committee's work.”

“We believe that the major task now is to conclude the careful analysis of national reports and responses to additional questions of the Committee, to process the data received and to identify the weak links in the national systems of measures, in order to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and in that connection, develop the procedures needed to provide relevant assistance to those who may need it. We are convinced that the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) should not just be a one-time action, or be reduced to a mere exercise in accountability. The main task is to use that Security Council decision to enhance the effectiveness of the process of improving the non-proliferation efforts of Member States, including in connection with the fight against terrorism. This work will require significant time and effort.”

“We would especially like to point out the importance of the work begun by the CTC, in accordance with the provisions of resolution 1624 (2005), to combat incitement to terrorism. We believe that the Committee, as part of the tasks set out in that resolution, must use all its capacity, means and resources in working with States - including letters, visits, contacts with international and regional organizations - to erect the obstacles necessary to stem the spread of the ideology of terrorism. In that connection, we must take into account not just the letter, but also the spirit of resolution 1624 (2005). The Russian Federation shares the positive evaluation of the momentum of the work of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004).”

“The Russian Federation supports the Committee's consistent efforts to intensify cooperation with regional organizations, first and foremost in facilitating assistance to States in complying with their obligations stemming from the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001), and in order to strengthen the counter-terrorism capacity of those organizations. That should be an important element of the overall coordinated strategy of enhancing the Committee's cooperation with international, regional and subregional organizations. Today, as the CT ED begins addressing the full range of its tasks, we see new opportunities for developing such a dialogue. In that connection, we agree that preparations for a new coordinated regional meeting of the CTC should be undertaken.”

We welcome the goal set in CTC's programme of work to address the issue of States late in submitting their reports, and to ensure the expert review of reports. We support the effort to further develop the practice of conducting visits to Member States, including through dialogue between the CTC and States on the outcome of these field missions.”
