  1. “Capacity-building in preventive diplomacy is another area of concern, which was addressed in resolution 1625 (2005) of 14 September 2005. From that perspective, joint mediation and good offices missions could help defuse the brewing conflicts and crises. On a completely different topic, Gabon would like to launch a strong appeal to the international community for assistance to developing countries facing increases in food prices, which could produce socio-economic troubles likely to degenerate into lasting crises. I express the wish that the resolution to be adopted at the end of this debate will strengthen the framework for cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, the African Union in particular, in the maintenance of international peace and security.”

  2. “Another meeting of the contact group, this time at the level of experts on defence, security and intelligence, will be held in Tripoli, Libya at the end of this month to consider and plan for the rapid establishment, with the support of the United Nations and the European Union, of a surveillance force at the border between Chad and the Sudan. Unfortunately, all of these African initiatives come up against the insufficiency of resources, in particular with regard to financing, human and institutional capacity-building and peacebuilding. Because of this, my country supports the Secretary- General's proposal to quickly create a panel of eminent experts for an in-depth consideration of predictable and stable financing of peacekeeping operations initiated by regional organizations.”

  3. “As Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Situation in the Central African Republic, he encourages consultations and inclusive dialogue to reach political and economic stabilization of that country. The President of the Gabonese Republic has also been active in the deployment of the Multinational Force of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (FOMUC). The same is true of the case of Chad, where Gabon is working for an inclusive dialogue between the various stakeholders. Gabon is also in the contact group to follow up the Dakar agreement signed on 13 March 2008 between Chad and the Sudan at the initiative of President Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal. The group held its the first meeting of Foreign Ministers in Libreville on 10 April 2008.”

  4. “With a constant and significant contribution to United Nations peacekeeping operations and to our own, in accordance with Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter, Africa has shown its will and capacity to mobilize for the resolution of conflicts and crises that threaten collective security. That is the case with the African peacekeeping mission in Burundi, African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) and the recent African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). The President of the Gabonese Republic, in consultation with his peers in the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) and the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC), is contributing to the search for solutions to the crises in the subregion.”

  5. “The report of the Secretary-General on the relationship between the United Nations and regional organizations, in particular the African Union, in the maintenance of international peace and security (8/2008/186) has proposed interesting paths for reflection on strengthening cooperation and coordination between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations. While today we have reasons to be pleased with developments in recent years in this area, particularly in Africa, we must acknowledge that a great deal remains to be done so that this cooperation can have more solid content.”

  6. “Mrs. Gondjout (Gabon) (spoke in French): On behalf of the President of the Gabonese Republic, His Excellency Mr. El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba, whom I have the honour to represent here, I would like to say how pleased our delegation and I myself are to see Mr. Mbeki presiding over this high-level meeting on the role of regional organizations in the maintenance of international peace and security. As the Council knows, the President of the Gabonese Republic is very interested in questions related to international peace and security, particularly in Africa. He thus fully supports the initiative that the Council presidency has taken to organize this meeting to examine questions related to the maintenance of international peace and security. The Council can be 3 assured of his solidarity with the resulting recommendations.”
