“In our View, there is the feeling that the adoption of this resolution might have a negative impact on the prospects for concluding a peace agreement within the time period and thus would not promote the efforts of the international community to establish peace and stability in Darfur and in the Sudan as a whole. We are convinced that, within the Sudanese context and also in broader terms, the implementation of sanctions should be closely linked with the task of promoting the process of a political settlement of the conflict and ensuring regional stability.”

“Mr. Dolgov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): The Russian Federation did not feel it was possible to support the adoption of the resolution on applying sanctions to four Sudanese persons. In taking this decision, we were guided by thoughts we have frequently set out in the Security Council. There is no doubt that the violation of international norms, including international humanitarian law, should not go unpunished. However, we believe that the present round of peace negotiations on Darfur in Abuja should be concluded by the Sudanese parties signing all the peace agreements up to 30 April 2006, as was determined by the African Union.”

“We anticipate that those measures will contribute to preventing a further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territories.”

“The international community should do everything it can to ensure that assistance to the Palestinians continues with a view to addressing their pressing social and humanitarian needs. As representatives of the Russian Federation have stated on a number of occasions, ending such assistance could have a serious impact and would only cause the situation to deteriorate and lead to a new outbreak of Violence and confrontation, worsening an already difficult humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territories. We believe that the Quartet and the entire international community must prevent events from developing in that direction. The Russian Federation is making a contribution to the Palestinians and will, in the near future, provide $10 million as urgent assistance to the Palestinian National Authority for humanitarian needs.”

“We are certain that only joint efforts can prevent all terrorist attacks, end the cycle of violence and renew the political process, on the basis of the road map. In particular, we firmly believe that the resumption of contact between the parties as soon as possible, based on the road map, will bring about a settlement of the current crisis. The Russian Federation will continue to robustly support efforts to that end, including within the framework of the Quartet. Given the worsening humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territories, the provision of international assistance to the Palestinian National Authority must be continued, free from political preferences.”

“Those principles provide for the abandonment of violence as a means of achieving political aims, the recognition of Israel's right to exist and respect for and compliance with previous commitments and arrangements - particularly the road map, the implementation of which would be the most reliable way to bring about a just, negotiated settlement of the issue. We also call upon the Government of Israel to demonstrate restraint, despite the difficult circumstances, and to prevent a collapse into direct confrontation. Israel must also prevent unilateral acts that prejudice final status agreements, particularly with respect to its settlement activities and the building of the separation wall. It must also refrain from its practice of extrajudicial killings.”

“We need to send a clear signal to both sides that they must refrain from policies leading to the use of force to bring about a settlement, and must work out a dialogue based on the road map. At this critical juncture we call upon the Palestinian Authority to do its utmost to prevent anti- Israeli acts, above all terrorist attacks, and to do everything in its power to ensure that the situation is properly monitored in the areas under its control. The international community expects the Palestinians to reaffirm that they will implement of all of the obligations that they have undertaken under bilateral agreements and agreements with Israel, as well as their commitments to the principles set forth in the 30 January statement of the Quartet of international mediators.”

“They have again struck innocent people; there can be no justification for that. We express our condolences to the bereaved families and offer our sympathies to those who have suffered as a result of the attack. We note that President Abbas of the Palestinian National Authority condemned that terrorist act. The intentions of those who perpetrated it are clear: to worsen the already challenging situation in Palestinian- Israeli relations as much as they can and to again unleash a cycle of violence and lay to rest any hope for a long-term settlement leading to the establishment of a Palestinian State enjoying good-neighbourly relations with Israel. Under such conditions, it is important that we prevent a deterioration of the situation, which might lead to direct confrontation.”

“Mr. Dolgov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): The situation in the occupied Palestinian territories is a cause for great concern. There have been recent incidents of Palestinian extremists firing rockets into the territory of Israel from the Gaza Strip and response attacks by the Israel Defense Forces. Innocent people have become the victim of those incidents, all of which have led to an increase in tensions and to a deterioration in Israeli-Palestinian relations. This meeting of the Security Council is taking place against the backdrop of today's tragic events at the central bus station in Tel Aviv, scene of a terrorist act for which Islamic Jihad has claimed responsibility. Russia firmly and categorically condemns the recent bloody attacks in Tel Aviv carried out by extremists.”

“That statement is in keeping with the previously stated desire of the head of the Palestinian National Authority, Mr. Abbas, to continue the peace dialogue with the Israeli leadership, and it establishes a good basis for further peaceful efforts to resolve the Israeli- Palestinian conflict on the basis of the road map. It is also important to ensure prompt resumption of the negotiating process on the Syrian-Lebanese track of the Middle East peace process. The Security Council will soon have an opportunity to look at that issue in greater detail. Today, we would simply like to highlight in particular the importance of continuing the inter- Lebanese dialogue and of achieving a consensus within that framework on the most pressing issues related to ensuring peace and stability in Lebanon and the entire region.”

“Such an effort could draw widely on the experience of United Nations specialized agencies and on the potential of the missions of the Quartet's Special Envoy, Mr. Wolfensohn. Russia is resolved to carry out its commitments and to address the issue of providing the Palestinian National Authority with financial assistance totalling $10 million under conditions of full transparency and openness. We expect any Government formed on the basis of the outcome of the Israeli elections not to undertake unilateral steps with respect to the Palestinians or to prejudice the outcome of the talks on the final status of the Palestinian territories. We note with satisfaction the statement of the Acting Prime Minister of Israel, Mr. Olmert, regarding his country's readiness to resume talks with the Palestinians on settlement issues.”

“We do not share the view that it is impossible to work with the newly formed Government of the Palestinian National Authority in addressing issues related to providing assistance - including humanitarian assistance - to the Palestinians. The rejection of such assistance could be a serious error that would lead to chaos and unpredictable consequences and cause a grave humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories. Instead of closing the door on the prospects for achieving peace in the region and punishing the Palestinians with sanctions and ultimatums for the democratic choice that they have made, we propose to focus on joint efforts to establish a mechanism that would ensure reliable monitoring of the provision of donor assistance.”

“It is worth noting that the new Cabinet Ministers of the Palestinian National Authority recognize the role of the Palestine Liberation Organization as the leading faction among the remaining national movements. It is also particularly important that the Palestinian National Authority Government has reaffirmed its readiness to discuss all requirements and to provide the necessary safeguards to donors providing assistance to the Palestinian people. We believe that there is a need to continue the basic approach, building upon the policy initiative of the President of Russia of dialogue with the Hamas movement and working closely with that organization so as to encourage it to fulfil the conditions set out by the Quartet.”

“Those principles provide for a renunciation of violence as a means to achieve political goals, the recognition of Israel's right to exist, and compliance with previous agreements and commitments, in particular the road map, whose implementation is the most reliable path towards a just resolution of the Palestinian issue. Russia will continue to assist energetically in that regard. We welcome the stated intention of Mr. Haniyeh, the Prime Minister of the Palestinian National Authority, to conduct his relationship with President Abbas in a spirit of dialogue and cooperation. It is important that such cooperation be carried out within the constitutional framework on the basis of the authority set forth in the laws of the Palestinian Authority and the principle of power-sharing.”

“Mr. Dolgov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We thank Mr. Kalomoh for his comprehensive briefing. Today's meeting is taking place against the backdrop of important events in the Middle East region. I am thinking in particular of the outcome of the elections in Israel and the completion of the efforts to form a new Palestinian Government. In analysing the changes that have taken place in Palestinian territories, Russia expresses its hope that the Government of the Palestinian National Authority will pursue a policy that serves the vital interests of all Palestinians by fulfilling their aspirations to peace and nationhood. Such a policy must be based on the principles agreed within the framework of the Quartet of international mediators.”

“We are sure that the Office's mandate will be fully carried out by May 2006. However, given the need to ensure the successful organization of presidential and parliamentary elections in 2007, the Russian delegation is prepared to engage in a constructive Security Council discussion of possible ways to provide the Timorese with appropriate United Nations support following the completion of UNOTIL's mandate, on 20 May this year. We have taken careful note of the wishes expressed here by the President of Timor-Leste.”

“Timor-Leste still requires effective international assistance to provide security, stability and sustainable development; indeed, that point was made today by Mr. Gusmao. We View as positive the development of cooperation between Timor-Leste and Indonesia and Australia, and we welcome the progress made in resolving the issue of delineating the border between Timor-Leste and Indonesia. We take note of the great importance of the bilateral Commission for Truth and Friendship. We hope that the Commission will successfully carry out its duties and that it will help to further strengthen the relationship between Indonesia and Timor-Leste, including in the area of resolving issues related to human rights violations in Timor- Leste. We believe that the activities of UNOTIL are important, and we commend its staff for their efforts.”

“Hasegawa, for introducing the progress report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL). We thank him for his informative briefing on developments in the country. Russia welcomes the steady progress made in building Timor-Leste's statehood. We are pleased at the successful holding of local elections, the strengthening of the country's legislative framework and the enhancement of the professional skills of members of the law enforcement services. We welcome the attention that Timor-Leste is devoting to resolving the problems that still exist in that area. However, we realize that the capacity of the State's organs is not yet strong enough and that the country remains somewhat dependent in that regard.”

“Mr. Dolgov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): I should like, first of all, to express condolences to the people and the Government of Guatemala in the light of the report, which we received this morning, about the deaths of Guatemalan peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That tragic event reaffirms that we need to help countries to resolve conflict in that region and elsewhere. We must pay constant attention to the safety and security of all United Nations peacekeepers. The Russian delegation welcomes the participation in this Council meeting of the President and of the Foreign Minister of Timor-Leste. We were pleased to hear the statement made by President Xanana Gusmao. We would also like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr.”

“Beginning on 1 January 2006, UNAMSIL will be handing over to the United Nations Integrated Office in Sierra Leone (UNIOSIL), whose establishment is another important precedent in peacebuilding. We will all help facilitate its productive work. I wish in conclusion to associate myself with other members of the Council in expressing gratitude to all the present and former international civilian staff and military personnel of UNAMSIL, and to the successive Special Representatives of the Secretary- General, in particular Mr. Mwakawago, who is with us in the Chamber today. It was their selfless endeavours that made possible the successful completion of the Mission's mandate.”

“The implementation of all such programmes will require additional support from the donor community, international financial institutions and development partners. We agree with the Secretary-General that UNAMSIL was a pioneer in a number of important areas of United Nations peacekeeping. With UNAMSIL participation, coordination was established among United Nations presences in West Africa, including the United Nations Mission in Liberia and the United Nations Operation in Cote d'Ivoire, and we saw the implementation of the concept of a complex United Nations mission designed to consolidate the efforts of the organizations and specialized agencies of the United Nations system and other international and humanitarian organizations.”

“A stable security situation has evolved, the restructured Sierra Leone armed forces and police have been operating with increasing effectiveness throughout the country, and control has been asserted over the diamond industry. An important criterion for assessing the Government's efforts will be the, we hope, successful conduct of the national elections to be held in 2007. Here, the United Nations must provide the necessary assistance. Naturally, the long-term prosperity of the people of Sierra Leone will to a large extent depend on the Government's ability to meet complex social and economic challenges: building a new justice system, rooting out youth unemployment, creating new jobs, reintegrating former combatants into civilian life and dealing with overall complex socio-economic problems.”

“Mr. Dolgov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): On 31 December, the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL) will come to an end on a positive note. We are certain that its activities will have set a good example for other peacekeeping operations - and not only those in the West African region - in terms of creating the conditions necessary for the achievement of long-term stability and the development of democracy in countries that have endured many years of bloody conflict. Over the past several years, the Government of Sierra Leone has achieved significant success in post- conflict recovery.”

“The Russian delegation believes that the official statement of the President of the Security Council - the draft of which was kindly prepared by the Danish delegation for adoption at the end of today's meeting - contains a number of important points the implementation of which by the United Nations system and by its partners should make it possible to strengthen the peacekeeping achievements of the entire Organization and to strengthen stability throughout the world.”

“Political support by the Security Council is of great importance to peacebuilding efforts, particularly at stages when the central implementing role shifts to operational programmes and specialized funds of the United Nations, and to international and regional organizations. The Russian Federation supports the idea of establishing a Peacebuilding Commission to enhance the coordination and effectiveness of post-conflict assistance to countries emerging from crisis. It is certain that the modalities for the functioning of that body will have to be carefully and collectively worked out, in order for it to be truly effective. The Russian delegation is prepared to engage constructively in that work.”

“That proves, once again, the growing importance of strengthening interaction between the Security Council and the other principal organs of the Organization that are directly concerned with peacebuilding - primarily the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council - as well as the specialized agencies of the United Nations. Cooperation in the peacekeeping and peacebuilding areas needs to be deepened between the United Nations and the regional and subregional organizations, pursuant to Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter. New positive examples of the development of that cooperation, in particular between the United Nations and the African Union in the Sudan, should be vigorously supported. A comprehensive approach to post-crisis situations requires a seamless continuity in moving from one stage of peacekeeping to another.”

“In that context we should note that the experience of United Nations peacekeeping in Haiti, in Timor- Leste, in Africa - in particular in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia and Sierra Leone - and in other conflict areas has shown that there is an intrinsic link between the restoration of peace and the complete socio-economic rehabilitation of countries emerging from conflict. Wherever the United Nations has been successful, even on a modest scale, that success has been largely due to the close coordination and integration of the military, political, civilian, humanitarian and reconstruction components of operations.”

“The Russian Federation agrees with many of the assessments and points that have been put forward concerning that question in the statements by the Deputy Secretary-General, Ms. Frechette, and the President of the World Bank, Mr. Wolfensohn. United Nations peacekeeping operations are becoming increasingly complex and multidimensional. The growing complexity of problems caused by contemporary conflicts, which often have a dangerous regional dimension and carry socio-economic consequences, requires that we keep focused on the task of improving overall planning and the deployment of multidimensional operations and that we enhance interactions with other international partners in their respective areas of responsibility.”

“Mr. Dolgov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): Mr. Minister, we are delighted to welcome you as President of the Security Council. We welcome the participation in this meeting of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of New Zealand and the Secretary of State of Switzerland. The topic proposed by the delegation of Denmark for our discussion today is directly relevant to the activities of the Security Council and the United Nations as a whole. Experience has shown that the achievement of lasting peace and the resolution of regional conflicts are possible only when based upon a comprehensive approach that combines traditional diplomatic and peacekeeping efforts with the post- conflict peacebuilding of States emerging from crisis. Only in that manner can regional stabilisation and the non-resumption of conflicts be guaranteed.”

The full settlement of the question of State borders is of great importance for ensuring security and sustainable development in Timor-Leste. We look forward to prompt solutions in this area that are agreeable to all parties concerned. In conclusion, I should like to reaffirm the support of the Russian Federation for the work being done by Mr.”

“After 20 May of this year, when UNMISET's mandate expires, the country will still require multifaceted international assistance in order to ensure security, stability and development. That is precisely why Russia supports the recommendation of the Secretary-General - agreed to by the Government of Timor-Leste - to extend UNMISET's activities, in a scaled-down configuration, for a period of up to one year. During that period, an ongoing United Nations presence should be maintained in the country.”

“In recent months, Timor-Leste has made further progress towards self-sufficiency. We take note of the successful start-up of the process of elections to local Government bodies, the further establishment of legislative structures and the ongoing consolidation of public institutions. We deem it important that the domestic political situation in the country as a whole has remained stable. However, we agree with the Secretary-General's conclusion that the progress achieved by the Timorese is insufficient, as Timor-Leste has not yet met the criteria for an independent State, despite the fact that the Government and the people, with the support of the United Nations, are making very intensive efforts in that area. That applies first and foremost to public administration, the police and border control.”

This tragic incident once again confirms the importance of ensuring proper security for United Nations peacekeepers as they serve and do their very important job for the entire international community.

“Experience in the area of resolving conflict situations convincingly shows that there is a direct link between the illegal trafficking in small arms and light weapons and the activities of illegal armed groups, the involvement of child soldiers in conflict, massive violations of human rights and the rules of international humanitarian law, and transborder crime. The need to prevent small arms and light weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists is becoming increasingly clear, in particular with regard to the most dangerous types of small arms and light weapons. We believe it important to continue to pay special attention to specific and feasible measures to combat the illegal trade in small arms and light weapons at both the prevention stage and during the post-conflict phase.”

“However, a top priority continues to be the monitoring of compliance with the Council's bans on the delivery of weapons and the enhancement of the effectiveness of monitoring mechanism to investigate cases of embargo violations. In the context of peacekeeping operations under the aegis of the United Nations - and this is a point referred to in the Secretary-General's report - greater attention has recently been given to the subject of the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) of ex-combatants, including with regard to the mandates for peacekeeping operations and, in close cooperation with parties to a conflict, the collection of illegal small arms and light weapons and disrupting their distribution. The support of donors for DDR programmes is an important element in the success of such programmes.”

“The Security Council has on several occasions discussed the problem of the illegal trafficking in small arms and light weapons as it relates to conflict situations on the Council's agenda. The Council's comprehensive discussion in January 2005 was very useful and timely with regard to resolving complex problems related to maintaining and restoring international peace and security in Africa, particularly in West Africa. The Russian Federation favours the adoption of decisive and effective steps in cases in which weapons are delivered to illegal armed groups. The experience gained in the implementation of embargoes on the transfer of arms to zones of conflict confirms the effectiveness of the measures taken by the Security Council.”

“The creation of a comprehensive monitoring mechanism should provide an effective barrier to the illegal trafficking in small arms and light weapons throughout the world. We attach great importance to the second meeting of States planned for July 2005 to consider the national, regional and global implementation of the United Nations Programme on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons. We believe that event will make it possible to take stock of the implementation by States of the Programme of Action and to highlight existing problems on the eve of the 2006 United Nations conference to review the progress made in implementation of the Programme of Action. We are convinced that the bulk of the work in this area should continue to be done in the format indicated.”

“A number of important events have recently taken place that prove that the international community has great capacity to combat the illicit trafficking in small arms. In accordance with General Assembly resolutions adopted in December 2003 and December 2004 on the illicit trafficking in all its aspects, there were two meetings of the Open-ended Working Group that is developing an international instrument to enable States to identify and trace illicit small arms and light weapons in a timely and reliable manner. The draft instrument on that matter quite rightly emphasizes such key areas as weapons-marking, record-keeping and increasing international cooperation in that area.”

The conclusions and recommendations in the report confirm that the United Nations must, and indeed is, playing a lead role in the implementation of a comprehensive approach in this area. The Russian Federation has spoken out consistently in favour of enhancing the Organization's coordinating role in tackling the illicit trafficking in small arms and light weapons. Preventing the illegal spread of those weapons is becoming particularly urgent in the context of counter-terrorism and dealing with the consequences of armed conflict.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to inform the Council of Russia's decision to provide MINUSTAH with a team of civilian police officers. The challenge for both the people of Haiti and the international community is to take into account the lessons of the past and prevent a resurgence of instability in Haiti that would negate the many years of what, frankly, has been a costly joint effort to normalize life in that country.”

“We note the steps taken by the Transitional Government to release unjustifiably detained persons. We anticipate the prompt release of all who have not been charged and expect that those who are genuinely guilty of breaking the law will be brought to justice. It is important to develop long-term and coordinated economic, financial and technical assistance for Haiti, to be provided by the specialized agencies of the United Nations system, international financial institutions, regional organizations and donor countries. A clear priority in that regard is the speedy disbursement to Haiti of funds pledged at the international donors' conference held in July 2004. We anticipate that the deployment of MINUSTAH's military and police contingents will be sped up, so as to bring their numbers up to the strength authorized by the Security Council.”

It is important further to pursue work in those areas. The Haitian authorities, working with MINUSTAH and the Organization of American States, must immediately undertake all necessary measures to prepare for the holding in 2005 of free and fair elections. We welcome the fact that work in that area is under way, and it must be continued. The restoration of legality must be pursued in that country with due respect for the rule of law. We call on all Haitian parties strictly to respect human rights and to refrain from violence as a means of achieving their political ends.”

“Mr. Dolgov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We are pleased to welcome you, Sir, as you preside over the Council. We thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Valdes for his very substantive briefing on developments in the settlement of the situation in Haiti and the activities of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). We welcome the efforts and overall work of the Mission he heads in the implementation of its important mandate. Russia has consistently supported the efforts of the Transitional Government of Haiti to end the violence perpetrated by illegal armed gangs. We believe that a comprehensive and effective solution to that problem will be promoted by the prompt establishment of the national commission on disarmament, demobilization and reintegration.”

“We support the Secretary-General's recommendation - on which an understanding has already been achieved in the Security Council - on a final extension of the UNMISET mandate until 20 May 2005, retaining the current mandate, configuration and size of the Mission. It is important for the United Nations Mission, in the final period of its presence in Timor-Leste, to give maximum attention to preparing an exit strategy so as not to create any gaps in the functioning of Timor- Leste State structures after the Mission has left. For its part, the Russian delegation will continue to give the activities of the Mission all necessary support. We are grateful to the delegation of Brazil for preparing a draft Security Council resolution, which we fully support.”

The East Timorese, with the support of the United Nations and of the international community as a whole, must make substantial efforts so that their country can become fully self-sufficient before the conclusion next May of the mandate of the United Nations Mission. We welcome the fact that the internal political situation in Timor-Leste has remained, on the whole, a stable one. In that connection, we welcome the measures taken by the Timorese authorities to resolve pressing social issues, including problems related to veterans of the former independence struggle.”

“Mr. Dolgov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We are grateful to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Hasegawa, for his introduction of the progress report of the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET) and for providing us with the latest information on developments in the situation in that country. We agree with the major observations and conclusions of the Secretary-General. Over the period under consideration, the Timorese authorities, with the active participation of the United Nations Mission, have made further progress in moving Timor-Leste towards genuine independence. It is important to ensure the continuation of the process of strengthening that country's genuine sovereignty.”
