“In connection with the issues raised by Mr. Jessen-Petersen, we are pleased to note the efforts made by the Provisional Institutions of Self- Government with a View to the full implementation of the standards for Kosovo, as we are convinced that sustained progress in the implementation of those standards is a basic prerequisite for progress to be made in the process that will determine the future status of Kosovo. Nonetheless, it is disturbing to know that acts of non-compliance persist and that none of the standards has yet been entirely implemented. In that regard, it is fitting to recall that the standards were prepared in order specifically to define the final status of Kosovo in the framework of the "standards before status" policy, which was designed for Kosovo and endorsed by the Council in implementation of resolution 1244 (1999).”

“Mr. Garcia Moritan (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): I should like to express our thanks to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Kosovo, Mr. Soren Jessen-Petersen, for the comprehensive briefing that he has just provided on the activities of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and on the events that have occurred there in the months of February, March and April. Likewise, I should like to thank Mr. Nebojsa Covic for his statement. I should like to associate myself with the gratitude expressed in the report to the men and women of UNMIK for their unswerving dedication and commitment to the values and objectives of the Organization in the daily conduct of their tasks. I wish to underscore the fact that my country is the eighth largest troop contributor to the police component of the Mission.”

“Lastly, as has been clear from the statements made throughout the meeting, there is a wide range of significant challenges facing the Committee to increase efficiency in its struggle against the Taliban and Al Qaeda. However, as has already been stated, terrorism is a global threat which can be combated only through the concentrated endeavours of the international community. Above and beyond the action that may be taken within the Committee or the Security Council itself, the genuine triumphs in the struggle against a scourge that does not acknowledge or respect borders will depend on the ability of the entire international community to work in concert to find solutions to the problems that lie at the origin of the inexcusable terrorist acts which unfortunately continue to be perpetrated.”

“The travels of the Chairman and the Monitoring Team are at the same time an important instrument in garnering impressions and learning from the experience of those authorities directly responsible for counter-terrorism activities. However, as the Chairman of the Committee noted in his briefing, it is important to be able to translate the concerns and experiences of the States visited by him and the members of the Monitoring Team into adjustments in the sanctions regime, in order to make its implementation more effective. We also support the offer made again today by the Chairman of the Committee to the effect that Member States wishing to do so, may hold meetings with the Committee to discuss pertinent topics as provided for in resolution 1526 (2004).”

“The last issue mentioned in the report, for which we need further clarification, is that of due legal process. That matter has been under consideration by the Committee for some time, without any progress having been made on the topic. Specific proposals from the Monitoring Team for the consideration of the Committee could be an important contribution in that respect. With regard to enhancing cooperation between Member States and the work of the Committee, my delegation takes the view that adoption of measures to refine the List and clarify the procedures used in handling it are the main way in which the Committee can encourage the provision of contributions to the Consolidated List from Member States.”

“As has been indicated, the Committee is discussing ways and means of adapting its guidelines for action to the changes introduced in the work of the Committee by the adoption of resolution 1526 (2004) and it would be important, in that regard, to have specific input from the Monitoring Team. In particular, it would be appropriate to consider expanding and clarifying the procedures relating to the delisting of individuals or entities. Such an initiative might serve as an incentive for States that may have doubts about presenting requests for inclusion of individuals or entities, because they are not clear as to the possible difficulties they would face should the need arise to remove the individual or entity from the sanctions List.”

“As the Chairman of the Committee clearly stated in his briefing, the Team has hinted at a number of measures that might be taken to improve the functionality and credibility of the consolidated list. The Committee should derive full benefit from this contribution. In some cases, the report of the Monitoring Group indicates an intention to present recommendations, or identifies aspects of the Committee's work where they suggest adjustments should be made. In both instances, my delegation would request the Monitoring Team to present specific suggestions for the Committee's consideration.”

“The Monitoring Team's report contains a number of suggestions to enhance the effectiveness of the work of the Committee, which deserve careful consideration. Many of the suggestions should be adopted once the Committee is in agreement. The recommendations relating to the Consolidated List of individuals and entities subject to sanctions are particularly relevant. The List, as has already been stated, is the Committee's main working tool; accordingly, it should be given the requisite priority. It should always be kept up to date and seen always by Member States as an efficient contribution to the endeavour to combat terrorism sponsored by the Al Qaeda network. In particular, it is important to clearly establish procedures for making adjustments to the Consolidated List, should new relevant information be submitted.”

“The possibility that those responsible for the attacks may have links with the Al Qaeda organization, as indicated by the media, indicates the scale of the task facing the 1267 Committee and the magnitude of the challenges the Committee must confront. We should also underscore the high quality of the work of the Al Qaeda and Taliban Monitoring Team established by resolution 1526 (2004). The first report presented by the Team, which is now before the Committee for consideration, is a serious and rather comprehensive analysis of the questions and problems encountered by the Committee in its work. In this statement I shall address the work of the Al Qaeda and Taliban Monitoring Team and the initiatives to enhance contacts between the Committee and Member States.”

“Mr. Garcia Moritan (Brazil) (spoke in Spanish): First of all I wish to thank the Ambassador of Chile, Heraldo Mufioz, for the oral briefing he has given us and for the work he and his delegation have been doing in the Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) concerning Al Qaeda and the Taliban. As has been regrettably demonstrated by the recent appalling terrorist attacks in Indonesia and Russia, including the tragedy of Beslan, in which more than 300 people, half of them children, lost their lives, terrorism continues to be one of the gravest threats faced by the international community at the present time.”
