“Following this principle, the Republic of Angola undertook initiatives to enable the establishment and strengthening of diplomatic relations among Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda, which culminated in the signing of an agreement, the Luanda Accord, and the creation of the Ituri Pacification Committee in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Republic of Angola has been one of the countries most affected by the lack of peace and stability in the Great Lakes region. More than 2,000 citizens from the Great Lakes region, mostly from Rwanda, were involved in the Angolan armed conflict. Among these was one of the leaders of the 1994 genocide, a war criminal handed over by the Angolan authorities to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.”

“Some years after the adoption by the Security Council of pertinent resolutions and presidential statements, the new developments in the region have created favourable conditions for the start of a new era for the Great Lakes region. This enhances the potential feasibility of the conference, given its unanimous acceptance by the countries of the region. An important role has also been played by the efforts of the African Union in the search for a global solution to the problems affecting the region since the Tunis Summit of 1994, while the Maputo Summit of July 2003 reiterated the support of the continent for the process. We welcome the partnership between the African Union and the United Nations. The establishment of good and friendly relations among States in the Great Lakes region is a prerequisite for peace and development.”

“This initiative is an effective contribution to the creation of mechanisms for the strengthening of the traditional friendly relations among States in the region. The process of the conference also lends support to the efforts under way in that part of the African continent in general and in each of the countries in particular. The process of the Great Lakes conference follows the logic of General Assembly resolution 2625 (XXV) of 24 October 1970, and particularly of its annex pertaining to the Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations. The Constitutive Act of the African Union also stands firmly on the same principle.”

“To conclude, it is our conviction that success in the fight against the AIDS pandemic depends on international cooperation and on practical and effective steps that all States should take to implement the commitments on HIV/AIDS. The pandemic is spreading at an alarming speed. It is a threat to survival in a large number of the most affected societies and a threat to security. We must run faster than the pandemic if we are to succeed. I now return to my position as President of the Security Council and I would like to give the floor to Mr. Jean-Marie Guehenno to respond to some of the comments and suggestions made by the members of the Council.”

“However, a determined prevention programme has been set in motion and we are sure that it will bear positive results in the near future if the Angolan military continues to benefit from sustained international assistance - the programme sponsored by the United States Department of Defense being an exemplary model for other international partners. This programme is working and producing tangible results in the fight against the AIDS pandemic in Angola. The Angolan authorities have expressed a willingness to participate, particularly with the Angolan armed forces involved in peacekeeping operations. The awareness campaign that we are conducting can be characterized by this objective: to ensure that the standards for the Angolan armed forces are in line with the standards set for participation in peacekeeping operations.”

“The Angolan armed forces have been specifically targeted in the national strategic policies to fight AIDS. We are counting on this effort with the assistance of the United States Department of Defense under the premise that we must run faster than the epidemic. Under this cooperation programme, massive testing of uniformed personnel is being conducted. An AIDS prevention plan among the military has been established. Information and education campaigns are being set up and condoms are being freely distributed. The armed forces have been taking a leading role in information and education campaigns of vulnerable groups with military personnel being trained as educators. An enormous challenge lies ahead for Angola.”

“The national strategy has been reformulated in line with the new challenges resulting from the attainment of peace. The response to new challenges include, among other actions, the intensification of education and prevention programmes, better treatment, including the provision of antiretroviral therapies, better care and assistance for orphans and vulnerable groups and advances in the fight against stigmatization and discrimination. Many nations are facing increased difficulties in recruiting for the armed forces with a View to ensuring their national defence. The AIDS pandemic became a serious national security problem with unforeseeable but surely very grave consequences for many countries. Global mobilization to face that tremendous security threat is an imperative to which my country fully subscribes.”

“This situation calls for a determined Government policy and will require the support of the international community in order to ensure that Angola can benefit from achievements made elsewhere to contain the pandemic. In this regard, I would like to assure the Council that the issue of HIV/AIDS is at the top of our list of concerns and priorities and under consideration at the highest level of Government. Translating this commitment into reality, the President of the Republic, in line with resolutions adopted at the special session of the General Assembly on HIV/AIDS, the Durban Conference and the 2001 Abuja Conference, has taken the lead in the fight against the pandemic in Angola by coordinating the National Commission to fight HIV/AIDS. A special fund has been established to fight AIDS and the other major epidemics.”

“The Southern African Development Community Summit on HIV, held in Maseru, Lesotho, in July 2003, noted that the impact of the pandemic in the region is having consequences at the social and economic levels, on families and on food security, and adopted a global strategy to combat AIDS through the prevention of new infections and the mitigation of the effects of the disease. Angola has a rate of HIV infection of about 5 per cent of the adult population - a relatively low rate when compared with other countries in our region. That relatively low rate of infection is due mainly to the reduced movement of the population during the long years of war. Now, given the situation of peace and increased population mobility, the danger has arisen of an explosion in the rate of infection.”

“We also commend the efforts of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and UNAIDS to strengthen international cooperation aimed at formulating multisectoral and multifaceted responses to meet the challenges ahead. The AIDS pandemic is a health, development and security issue. Because its impact is mainly on young people, it has a devastating effect on reproductive health. It has consequences for all levels of society - families, communities, the productive sector and nations as a whole.”

“The goals set out in the resolution of ensuring responsible and safe behaviour among humanitarian staff and peacekeeping troops and promoting their awareness of preventive measures, as well as the call for increased collaboration among national organizations and those in uniform and the integration of their activities into broader national responses are, in my delegation's view, important strategies for the achievement of progress in the global fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic. We commend the efforts of United Nations bodies, and in particular the ongoing commitment of the Secretary-General, in the fight against AIDS. In this context, the creation of the Global Fund was a far- reaching initiative.”
