  1. “Those activities will be supported by vocational training, appropriate organizational structures and an appropriate civic service, since we now have a new ministry of youth and civic service, which will enable the annual graduation of 19,000 persons who can then be reintegrated into economic life. Special projects will be prepared for vulnerable groups such as child soldiers. We will also prepare education and follow-up relating to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. That is a summary of the programme of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration in C6te d'Ivoire.”

  2. “Once the cantonment of former combatants has been completed, we will proceed to identify the candidates for demobilization, according to jointly agreed criteria and using the prepared forms. The status of the demobilized combatants will be decided by decree for non- commissioned officers and by legislative order for other combatants. Cantonment is the period before reintegration. It will enable us to compile the socio- economic data entered on the forms, to issue demobilization identity cards and to reorient those individuals towards civilian life, with all the necessary support. The final and most important stage of the programme is reintegration. As we have already stated, it will extend over a period of 12 to 24 months. To that end, we need to make preliminary studies to define reintegration activities.”

  3. “Finally, new legislation will be adopted on arms possession in order to prepare the second part of the disarmament process: the disarmament of the civilian population. We need to combat the proliferation of small arms, and it is therefore important to disarm the civilian population. We will begin with an information and awareness campaign on the collection of weapons. That will be followed by voluntary arms collections, followed by incentives and, finally, coercion. At that time, we will need to renew or issue new weapons permits and punish violators. The third stage is demobilization and cantonment. We must identify the cantonment areas, which will be different from the grouping areas because in the cantonment areas former combatants will be assembled without their military equipment.”

  4. “In that context, it should be noted that, thanks to support from the United Nations Development Programme, forms have been prepared to identify and assess the skills of ex- combatants. Those forms were designed on a consensual basis with the participation of all existing forces and have therefore been accepted by them all. After grouping, disarmament will begin. It has four principal elements. The first element is to sort arms and munitions, for weapons must be separated from munitions. The arms recovered will the be sorted according to whether or not they are listed by the national army of C6te d'Ivoire. We will then proceed to destroy weapons. A symbolic arms destruction ceremony will take place at the end of the disarmament cycle.”

  5. “Lastly, grouping will begin with the identification of cantonment areas, which started on 8 June. As members will see from the map before them, the cantonment areas in the south include Abidjan, Yamoussoukro, San Pedro, Daloa, Guiglo, Bondoukou, Daoukro and Duekoue. The cantonment areas in the north include Bouake, Man, Seguela, Odiene, Korhogo, Ferkessedougou, Bouna, Ouangolodougou and Vavoua. Once the grouping begins on 20 August, the Forces armees nationales de Cote d'Ivoire will return to their barracks and the grouping of former combatants at the designated sites in the northern area will be carried out. Once the grouping has begun, we shall proceed to the identification and the verification of the identities of combatants.”

  6. “Thirdly, there was also a joint communique declaring the end of the war, which was signed by the Forces armees nationales de C6te d'Ivoire and the Forces nouvelles de C6te d'Ivoire at a solemn ceremony at the presidential palace in the presence of the entire Government and the ambassadors accredited to C6te d'Ivoire. In addition, the ceremony was broadcast live on national television. Fourthly, an amnesty law that will enable us to begin the grouping programme will be presented to a parliamentary commission on 4 August, and to a plenary meeting of the National Assembly on 6 August. Fifthly, the restructuring of the Forces armees nationals de Cote d'Ivoire will be based on the law on military planning that has already been drafted and which will be strengthened in the light of the current situation.”

  7. “Lastly, the most important component, which is reintegration, will take place during a period of 12 to 24 months. The forces involved have reached consensus to define 17 conditions, which we have summarized in the document we have circulated among the members of the Council. They include the five following points. First is the signing of a comprehensive ceasefire agreement, which took place on 3 May. Secondly, there is the establishment of a buffer zone, which took place on 1 June. That zone, which can be seen on the map attached to the document we have circulated, runs east to west for about 40 kilometres. It includes the impartial forces of Operation Licorne and MINUCI. There are no weapons or, of course, belligerents, within the zone.”

  8. “The DDR process in C6te d'Ivoire will take place during four phases: grouping, disarmament, demobilization, cantonment and reintegration. Those measures have enabled us to prepare a timetable. The first element of that schedule involves preconditions, which will be addressed during a two- and-a-half-month period, that is, from the beginning of June to the middle of August. That will be followed by grouping, which will take place during a two-week period, from 13 August to early September. Disarmament will then start at the beginning of grouping and continue through the middle of September. That will be followed by demobilization, which will take place during a one-month period ending on 19 October. Cantonment will then take place during a two-week period, ending in the first week of November.”

  9. “The measures consist of six elements, namely, amnesty, grouping, disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and restructuring. It is also important to note that these measures have made it possible to develop activities with the participation of all forces, which will facilitate the implementation of the programme. The national programme for disarmament, demobilization and reintegration is being pursued on three fronts, with the goal being peace and stability. That will be achieved through the establishment of a Government of national reconciliation and by reunifying the army by restructuring it to make it a force devoted to republican values. The national DDR programme is therefore the key to restructuring Cote d'Ivoire.”

  10. “Mr. Donwahi (Cote d'Ivoire) (spoke in French): With the permission of the Security Council, I shall now present Cote d'Ivoire's national disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) programme. It is important to note that the programme was prepared with the participation and consensus of the Forces nouvelles de C6te d'Ivoire, the Forces armees nationals de C6te d'Ivoire (FANCI), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Mission in C6te d'Ivoire (ECOMICI) and the forces of Operation Licorne, as well as with the support of experts from the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and with the sanction of Cote d'Ivoire. The programme is based on measures put forth by the Linas-Marcoussis Agreement.”
