  1. “Assisting the island's development is the best way to prevent conflict from breaking out again. In that context, I wish to reaffirm the statement of my delegation last 26 November on the importance of an appeal by the Security Council to donor countries to support the creation of the economic, social and infrastructure conditions enabling a peaceful transition towards the political future of Bougainville. Once again, I thank Mr. Tiirk for the information he has given us.”

  2. “The initiative, commitment and resolve of the leaders and former combatants of Bougainville in consolidating the Peace Agreement are indispensable, as are the reconciliation and reintegration of the former combatants and their preparation for reintegration into the life of their communities, which will require the reconstruction of public institutions and the preparation of successful strategies for reconciliation and reintegration. We are reassured by the Secretary-General's statement in his report that as the end of the United Nations political mandate in Bougainville approaches, UNPOB is trying to involve the United Nations Development Programme and other agencies of the United Nations in re-establishing community services and infrastructure.”

  3. “We therefore commend initiatives such as the visit on 18 and 19 February of several ministers and other members of the Government of the country, and in particular the signing of the memorandum of understanding that took place on that occasion, which established a mechanism of consultations concerning all aspects of the implementation of arrangements for autonomy, including the transfer of authority, functions, resources and the settling of controversies.”

  4. “The progress demonstrated by the preparation of a new constitution and the broad participation of citizens in the process are unequivocal signs of the will of the people of Bougainville. Mexico is therefore fully confident that, with the support of UNPOB, the aspiration of the people of Bougainville to hold elections for an autonomous government before the end of 2003 can be realized. We encourage the Constitutional Commission to continue the good work it is carrying out in order to conclude its task as soon as possible. In this process, the collaboration of the authorities of Papua New Guinea is indispensable.”

  5. “That type of initiative, without doubt, will compel the Me'ekamui Defence Force and, in particular, its leader Francis Ona to accept the new reality of a Bougainville that is prepared to cooperate and to work in order to leave the past behind, and of an international community that is not prepared to let the situation stagnate. The Security Council must therefore appeal to political leaders and all ex-combatants to complete the arms collection and to move on to the next stage. In that context, we are concerned at the announcement of the departure of the Peace Monitoring Group in June 2003. My delegation wishes to know the consequences that decision will have for the peace process. The completion as soon as possible of stage II of the arms collection plan is imperative.”

  6. “It is therefore encouraging that - bearing in mind the commitment to complete stage II of the weapons disposal plan by 24 December 2002, as previously planned - the Action Plan for the Completion of Weapons Collection was adopted at the Buka meeting on 17 February. The delegation of Mexico hopes that this renewed commitment will enable the completion of the collection of the 20 per cent of arms still pending in order to fully enter stage III. Also encouraging is the news that the Bougainville Resistance Force and the Bougainville Revolutionary Army plan to hold meetings in coming days. We are confident that very positive results will be achieved.”

  7. “Ms. Garcia Guerra (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): My delegation thanks the Secretary-General for his report on the United Nations Political Office in Bougainville (UNPOB) and the Assistant Secretary- General for Political Affairs, Mr. Danilo Tiirk, for the information he has just given us. I should also like to reiterate Mexico's gratitude to the Representative of the Secretary-General, Ambassador Noel Sinclair of Guyana, for his work and leadership of UNPOB, as well as to his staff and to all those that have participated in the work of the Peace Monitoring Group: the Governments of Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and Vanuatu. The report of the Secretary-General contains information that leads us to hope that the situation in Bougainville will evolve positively, despite the complications that have arisen and that must be addressed.”
