  1. “The Council hopes that Sierra Leone's neighbours will intensify their cooperation, not least through the Mano River Union and the Economic Community of West African States, especially in the area of peace and security, and with the continued support of the United Nations and development partners." This statement will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/2005/63. There are no further speakers inscribed 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 1.10 pm.”

  2. “"The Security Council reiterates its appreciation for the work of the Special Court for Sierra Leone and its vital contribution to reconciliation and the rule of law in the country and the subregion, and encourages all States, particularly States in the subregion, to cooperate fully with the Court and to provide it with the necessary financial resources. "The Security Council continues to emphasize the importance of a regional approach to the countries of West Africa.”

  3. “The Council therefore encourages Sierra Leone's development partners to continue their support in all these areas, and notes with satisfaction the outcome of the recent Donors' Consultative Group meeting on Sierra Leone in London. "With Sierra Leone now stable and at peace, the Security Council sees a great opportunity for the development of a mature and vibrant political culture. Achieving this will require tolerance, cooperation from all sides and a shared commitment to act responsibly and avoid inflammatory rhetoric. To that end, Government and political leaders should reaffirm their commitment to the basic principles of democratic governance. This will pave the way for fair, transparent and peaceful elections in 2007.”

  4. “"At the request of the Security Council, the Secretary-General has established the new United Nations Integrated Office in Sierra Leone in order to provide continued support to the Government as it tackles the many challenges ahead, including good governance, sustainable economic development, job creation and delivery of public services. The Government will need the sustained help of donors and development partners, particularly in addressing difficult but essential issues like security sector reform, fighting corruption, the reinforcement of governance mechanisms including the judiciary, and equal rights for women and girls.”

  5. “The Council also deeply appreciates the cooperation extended by the Government and the people of Sierra Leone to UNAMSIL and to the members of the United Nations family operating in the country. "The Security Council notes with satisfaction the innovations in UNAMSIL's methods of operation that may prove useful best practice in making other United Nations peacekeeping operations more effective and efficient, including an exit strategy based on specific benchmarks for drawdown; an integrated mission with a Deputy Special Representative managing governance, developmental and humanitarian elements; and substantial, regular cooperation and coordination with other United Nations peacekeeping operations and offices in the region.”

  6. “After consultations among members of the Security Council, I have been authorized to make the following statement on behalf of the Council: "The Security Council commends the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL) for its invaluable contribution over the last six years to Sierra Leone's recovery from conflict and its progress towards peace, democracy and prosperity. The Council is grateful to the Secretary-General, his Special Representatives, and all the individuals from the United Nations and from troop- and police- contributing countries who have made UNAMSIL a success, especially those who helped UNAMSIL recover from the crisis it faced in May 2000.”

  7. “I now ask the Special Representative of the Secretary-General whether he would like to take the floor again to offer any comments in response to the statements that the Council has heard. I give him the floor.”

  8. “The work of the United Nations Integrated Office in Sierra Leone in support of the electoral process will be important. We hope that the withdrawal of UNAMSIL marks the end of the conflict phase in Sierra Leone, and we look forward to cooperating in the building of a prosperous and durable peace, particularly on the day when the Peacebuilding Commission has been agreed by the Security Council and the General Assembly. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I now give the floor to the representative of Sierra Leone.”

  9. “The European Union notes the success of the recent Consultative Group donors meeting in London, was pleased to participate and hopes that it will enable the successful implementation of the Government of Sierra Leone's poverty reduction strategy plan. The European Union expects that the United Nations Integrated Office in Sierra Leone will continue to support the work of the Government as it faces up to its many challenges. Reform of institutions, improvements in infrastructure and the challenge of tackling corruption will need continued support. The focus on human rights is to be commended, as, in particular, the problems faced by young people and women are also addressed. The European Union looks forward to credible elections in 2007 and to a tolerant and responsible attitude to campaigning from all parties and their supporters.”

  10. “The European Union is dedicated to ensuring that economic and social development is enhanced and continues to invest in infrastructure and institutional programmes in order to achieve that. Improved access to rural areas and the rehabilitation of the education and health infrastructure in those areas are key ways to demonstrate to all Sierra Leoneans that the country is improving. Those aspects will therefore be the focus of the European Union development assistance. We look forward to the support of UNMIL in providing security for the Special Court for Sierra Leone. The regional aspect of the conflict was important, and cooperation from the Mano River Union and the Economic Community of West African States will be key in building peaceful development.”

  11. “The legacy of the past six years is a peace that can and must continue to be built upon. The Mission has shown innovative ways of cooperating with local actors and with the international community. The use of defined benchmarks for managing the drawdown has proved successful. And the willingness to work with other United Nations regional operations, such as the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) and the United Nations Operation in cote d'Ivoire, as well as the United Nations Office for West Africa, has been highly beneficial. The European Union is committed to working with the Government of Sierra Leone to demonstrate to the people that the benefits of peace are tangible and to working with them to improve their lives.”

  12. “I shall now make a statement in my national capacity. I have the honour to speak also on behalf of the European Union and those countries which have aligned themselves with this statement. As the last peacekeeping troops leave Sierra Leone, the European Union commends the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL) for its central contribution to the peace and stability of Sierra Leone. The efforts of the Special Representatives, other United Nations officials and the troop- contributing countries, together with the cooperation of the people of Sierra Leone, have ensured the success of the Mission. UNAMSIL has demonstrated a sure touch in its efforts to secure, develop and enhance security. We welcome the drawdown of the Mission, as it demonstrates to the people of Sierra Leone that the conflict lies behind them.”

  13. “On our collective behalf, may I thank Mr. Mwakawago for his briefing, for a very positive report on the situation in Sierra Leone. And may I, on behalf of the Council, at this particular stage of the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone, thank him and his team for what they have actually been doing on the ground. In particular - let me be quite clear - those of us who visited Mr. Mwakawago in Freetown in June 2004 understand exactly what it was he was achieving on the ground. Now, as was agreed in prior consultations, I propose, under rule 33, that we suspend this meeting. As I hear no objections, the meeting is suspended. The meeting was suspended at 11.30 am. and resumed at 11.40 am.”

  14. “In accordance with the understanding reached in the Council's prior consultations, I shall take it that the Security Council agrees to extend an invitation under rule 39 of its provisional rules of procedure to Mr. Daudi Mwakawago, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Sierra Leone. There being no objection, it is so decided. I invite Mr. Mwakawago to take a seat at the Council table. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations. Members of the Council have before them document S/2005/777, which contains the twenty- seventh report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone. At this meeting, the Security Council will hear a briefing from the Special Representative.”

  15. “I should like to inform the Council that I have received a letter from the representative of Sierra Leone, in which he requests to be invited to participate in the consideration of the item on the Council's agenda. In conformity with the usual practice, I propose, with the consent of the Council, to invite that representative to participate in the discussion, without the right to vote, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Charter and rule 37 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure. There being no objection, it is so decided. I understand - and this is a bit unusual - that the representative of Sierra Leone has been delayed because of problems caused by the transit strike. I would be grateful if the secretariat could take him to his seat at the Council table when he arrives.”
