  1. “The death of the young peacekeeper, as well as the continued attacks on UNHCR staff, which have forced the closure of the UNHCR office in the border town of Betun and the withdrawal of its international staff there, highlight the continued security problems on the border between East and West Timor, occasioned by the operation of armed militia groups. The Indonesian authorities must act quickly and firmly in cooperation with UNTAET to deal with these incidents, which clearly endanger the security presence, as well as the lives of the 85,000 refugees who remain in camps in West Timor. Moreover, UNHCR must have free and unhindered access to these camps to enable refugee registration in order to determine those who wish to be resettled or returned to East Timor.”

  2. “At the same time, we expressed our deep concern about the status of refugees and the attacks on staff of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and on United Nations peacekeepers by suspected militias. It is therefore with deep regret that my delegation must express its sincere condolences to the Government and people of New Zealand and to the family of Private Leonard William Manning, who was killed on 24 July while on duty in East Timor. The perpetrators must speedily be brought to justice.”

  3. “Sergio Vieira de Mello, briefed the Council last month, my delegation paid tribute to him and to the men and women of UNTAET for their dedicated and dynamic service, which had seen the transformation of East Timor since the start of the mission. We noted the positive developments, which included the increasing involvement of the East Timorese in creating and building institutions of governance, the cooperation which had developed between UNTAET and the Government of Indonesia, and the commitments received from the international community in support of East Timor's reconstruction and rehabilitation process. We welcome the further developments described in the report of the Secretary- General, including the formation of the interim Cabinet and the graduation of the first batch of East Timorese police.”

  4. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Jamaica. I wish to join previous speakers in expressing my delegation's appreciation to Mr. Hedi Annabi for his introductory remarks and to the Secretary-General for his report, which provides an excellent overview of the present situation in East Timor, covering political developments, the status of refugees, governance, public administration, security and humanitarian affairs, as well as relations between East Timor and Indonesia.

  15. “We welcome the news that the Head of UNOA will be appointed shortly and are sure that this appointment will result in the strengthening of collaboration between UNOA, the Government and other parties in seeking ways to support the current efforts aimed at achieving sustainable peace in Angola. Finally, we cannot forget the tragic loss of life of United Nations officials, including Mr. Blondin Beye. We therefore welcome the assistance of the Government in investigating the crashes of the two United Nations aircraft in regions recently recovered from rebel positions. In the same vein, we welcome the release by UNITA of the five Russian crewmen who were taken hostage in May 1999. I now resume my functions as the President of the Council.”

  16. “We agree with the Secretary-General's observation in his report that there is an urgent need to begin to rebuild the destroyed physical and social infrastructures of Angola and to afford the people of Angola the opportunity to optimize the potential that that country's rich natural and human resources are capable of. My delegation, fully supported the adoption of resolution 1294 (2000), by which the mandate of UNOA was extended. UNOA, which was established to liase with the political, military, police and other civilian authorities in Angola, has an important role to play in exploring capacity-building, humanitarian assistance and the promotion of human rights.”

  17. “The United Nations, in collaboration with the Government of Angola, must increase its role in providing guidance for institution-building and on the practical implications of democratization. We therefore commend the efforts of the United Nations Development Programme to provide support for the capacity-building of government institutions, such as was provided to the Ministry of Social Assistance and Reintegration for the coordination of humanitarian assistance. Another critical area which must be addressed is that of infrastructure redevelopment.”

  18. “In this regard, the invitation, reported yesterday, of President Dos Santos to journalist associations and unions to participate in the drafting of a new press law is welcome news. This invitation by the Government marks the beginning of a debate on press freedom, the guarantee of which will go a long way towards ensuring that the necessary checks and balances are in place to safeguard human rights. We must assist the fledgling civil society in promoting dialogue between the parties and thereby creating an energetic political structure in which political change is affected by the ballot box. We realize that this is an arduous task to reverse the mind- set created by over 25 years of war.”

  19. “We welcome the efforts of the Government and United Nations agencies to draft minimum operational standards for the resettlement of displaced persons into safe areas and also welcome the collaboration between the Government, United Nations agencies and non- governmental organizations to implement a plan of action for food security, health and nutrition, mine action and other vital areas. Jamaica urges the donor community to respond generously to the next United Nations Consolidated Appeal that will be presented in August. The implementation of the action plan is timely, as access to populations at risk increases as more regions come under government administration. We are encouraged by indications that the Government is prepared to recognize the existence of human rights abuses and to develop regular procedures to address these.”

  20. “We note that, at the end of June, the number of internally displaced persons was estimated at 2.5 million, or some 20 per cent of the entire population of the country. This number, although representing a small decrease over the number for May, speaks to the sense of insecurity still existing in large sections of the country. The 25 years of conflict have had a serious negative effect on the youth in Angola, who continue to be killed, maimed, sexually abused, recruited as child soldiers and deprived of access to health care and education. We support the Secretary- General's proposals to include Child Protection Advisers as an integral part of the mission of the United Nations Office In Angola (UNOA).”

  21. “It is time for responsible leaders of UNITA to accept that a political solution is the only route towards securing an end to Angola's intractable and tragic civil war. The re-emergence of civil society in Angola is an encouraging beginning for the return to normalcy. We are encouraged by reports that some members of UNITA have reacted positively to the initiative of Angolan church leaders to mediate a negotiated peace between UNITA and the Angolan Government. We are fully aware of past deceptions by UNITA's leadership. However, we believe that efforts aimed at achieving peace must be encouraged and nurtured by the international community. My delegation continues to be deeply disturbed by the precarious humanitarian situation of the population.”

  22. “UNITA's leader, Jonas Savimbi, has been given numerous opportunities to reach a political settlement to the conflict, yet his forces continue to perpetrate wanton violence on the people of Angola. Those who assist UNITA to continue the fighting are equally culpable for the perpetuation of the human tragedy in Angola. In this context, we wish to underline the tribute paid to Ambassador Robert Fowler for his leadership of the sanctions Committee against UNITA and to thank him for his efforts to bring peace to the people of Angola. My delegation renews its call for the leaders of UNITA to abide by the key provisions of the Lusaka Protocol and to instruct their forces to lay down their weapons and allow state administration to be extended throughout the country.”

  23. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Jamaica. My delegation joins previous speakers in thanking Under-Secretary-General, Ibrahim Gambari, the Adviser to the Secretary-General for Special Assignments in Africa, for his clear and comprehensive briefing on the situation in Angola. We also welcome Minister Malungo and thank him for the important statement he made on behalf of the Government of Angola. Jamaica continues to be very concerned about the continuing war in Angola. Ambassador Gambari's briefing and the Secretary-General's report clearly remind us of the adverse effects that the years of fighting have had on all segments of Angolan society.”

  25. “Ambassador Fowler will shortly be leaving New York to take up another diplomatic assignment. I wish, on behalf of the Council, to thank him for the dynamic approach he brought to the position of Chairman of the Committee dealing with sanctions against UNITA. That sanctions against UNITA are finally bearing fruit is largely due to the efforts of Ambassador Fowler and his Committee, which clearly demonstrated the linkage between the illegal exploitation of diamonds and the ability of UNITA to fund its activities. We wish Ambassador Fowler well in his future endeavours.”
