“Thank you for your appearance here, Mr. Minister. We hope you will remain for the continuing discussion this afternoon. In view of the lateness of the hour. and with gratitude for the extreme patience of the next speakers on the list. who are the Security Council members - in order, the Netherlands, Argentina, Canada, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Tunisia, Ukraine, Mali and Jamaica - if they find it acceptable. I propose that we suspend the meeting until 2.30 this afternoon. The meeting was suspended at 1 17.171.”

“May I note that, while the Minister of Health of Uganda has been here with us in New York, President Clinton's special adviser for AIDS, Sandy Thurman, is in his country today meeting with his colleagues and President. We are therefore most grateful that he is here today. The next speaker is the Minister of Health and Child Welfare of Zimbabwe. I invite him to make his statement.”

“I have an informal proposal that the next group of speakers yield to the two Ministers from Africa, and I would ask - and I know this is a bit unusual, because we normally would adjourn and go into executive session, but we obviously cannot do that - if any of the speakers would be willing to yield so that we could hear the Ministers of Health who have travelled so far at the personal requests of their Presidents. I have spoken to both President Museveni and President Mugabe personally about this, and they each told me how important their Ministers' speeches are. I would ask if Council members would agree to invite the Ministers from Uganda and Zimbabwe to join us at the table and speak out of order. Would this be acceptable to representatives? I wish to thank Council Members for their indulgence in this change of procedure.”

“In the last few minutes, I have received several notes from Permanent Representatives of African countries, pointing out to me that they feel it would be appropriate for us to break into the procedural order and allow the Ministers of Health of Uganda and Zimbabwe to join the meeting and speak prior to the next scheduled speakers, which are the representatives of the Netherlands, Argentina, Canada, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Tunisia, Ukraine, Mali and Jamaica, and then, under the rules of the Security Council, Uganda and Zimbabwe.”

“Our next speaker is the Ambassador of the Netherlands. However, procedurally speaking, I would like to consult the Council for a minute. Under the rules of the Security Council, Ministers of Security Council members take precedence, and that is why we began with the Vice-President of the United States and the Minister of Namibia. However, under those same rules, Security Council members have the right to speak before Ministers of other countries that are not members.”

“I would like to thank Mr. Wolfensohn once again for joining us for the first time in the history of the Security Council and the World Bank. I hope that the Security Council will invite him to join us again. On behalf of the entire Security Council, we thank him for his important statement today and for his contribution to the important effort that we are discussing.”

“Thank you, Madam Minister, for your important statement, your alphabetical A-B-C suggestion and your interesting suggestion about doing a meeting of this sort at least once a year, which in my national capacity I instantly endorse. It is my pleasure now to continue. Because we have such a long list of speakers and we will want to break for lunch in the not-too-distant future, I would hope that the non-ministerial representatives here would keep their remarks as short as possible, so that this afternoon we can have some exchanges of view on what we have heard and how we might work together.”

“I thank Dr. Piot for his inspired leadership and his kind remarks concerning the comments of our Vice-President. We shall now begin the discussion by the members of the Security Council. For those in the audience who do not know the rules, members of the Security Council will speak first. Then, because of the special nature of this meeting, any other Member of the United Nations that wishes to speak is invited to do so. With a certain exception, I will ask the members of the Security Council to follow the same rule that was established so successfully last month by Ambassador Greenstock during his presidency of the Security Council, which was essentially a five-minute rule. Speakers should also try to confine themselves to specific remarks.”

“I thank Mark Malloch Brown for the immense contribution which he, like the World Bank under Jim Wolfensohn, makes on this issue. Before calling on the next speaker, I would like to acknowledge - and I apologize for not doing this earlier - our newest member of the Security Council, who presented his credentials this morning, the new Ambassador from Argentina. Welcome. Also, I want to welcome to the Security Council the five new members - Bangladesh, Jamaica, Mali, Tunisia and Ukraine - and to thank the departing members for their participation. I look forward to working with you all over the next few weeks. It is now my honour to call on the head of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), Dr. Peter Piot.”

“I would also like to note, before the recess, that in the United States of America, the work of Senators Jesse Helms and Joseph Biden - and a strong majority from both of our major political parties - has expressed fresh support not only for the United States being a vigorous member of this body but also for the efforts of this body in every way, shape and form. Indeed, it has been a great honour to preside over the beginning of this meeting. Now, with the concurrence of Council members, I suspend the meeting. The meeting was suspended at 11.15 am. Mr. Holbrooke (United States of America) took the Chair; the meeting was resumed at 11.30 am. The President: It is my high personal honour to call on my friend of over 20 years, the Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme.”

“Our next two speakers will be the Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, Mr. Mark Malloch Brown, and the Executive Director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), Mr. Peter Piot. Their statements will be of great importance. I urge those joining us here to stay and absorb the impact of their words. It is my intention, before they speak, with the concurrence of Council members, to suspend the meeting for a few minutes. When the meeting reconvenes, I shall turn the gavel of the President of the Security Council over to Ambassador Holbrooke. I would like to note the presence of three Ministers of Health who are here with us today from Namibia, Uganda and Zimbabwe. We have much to learn from these ministers, and we are all grateful for their attendance.”

“We have the knowledge, the compassion and the means to make a difference. We must acknowledge our moral duty and accept our great and grave responsibility to succeed. We must make the promise and keep the promise to prevail against this disease so that when the story of AIDS is told to future generations, it will be a tale not just of human tragedy, but a tale of human triumph. And the moral of that story will be the capacity of the human spirit to summon us in common cause to defeat a common foe and secure the health and hopes of so many of our fellow human beings. May God bless all who have suffered from this disease and are suffering from it. May God bless the united effort of our United Nations to end it soon and for ever.”

“Many have called the battle against it a sacred crusade. The United Nations was created to stop wars. Now we must wage and win a great and peaceful war of our time - the war against AIDS. Let all, here and around the world, who are willing to enlist in this cause hear and heed and take heart from the words of an African poet, Mongane Wally Serote: "Remember the passion of our hearts, the blinding ache and pain when we heard the hysterical sobs of our little children crying against fate. We heard these. We knew them. We absorbed them. But we surged forward, knowing that life is a promise and that that promise is us." That promise is us. We here in this room, representing the billions of people of the world, must become the promise of hope and change. We must become the promise of life itself.”

“We must also make sure that more money has more impact. Next July the global community will gather in Durban, South Africa, for the thirteenth International AIDS Conference. There are many inspiring efforts to fight AIDS all around the world. But right now they mostly amount to many isolated efforts and not a single focused assault. We must knit together the separate initiatives by local, national, regional and global organizations to take maximum advantage of their synergy and successes. We will work with the organizers of the Durban Conference to advance this essential objective. It is essential because how we spend the money and how effectively we target it, not just how much we spend, will determine how many lives we save. AIDS is one of the most devastating threats ever to confront the world community.”

“Last month the President announced a new approach to ensure that we take public health crises into account when applying United States trade policy. We will cooperate with our trading partners to ensure that United States trade policies do not hinder their efforts to respond to health crises. But to win the ongoing global battle against AIDS, we must also fight the poverty that speeds its spread. In June in Cologne, we joined with our G-7 partners in the Cologne debt initiative, a landmark commitment to faster and deeper debt relief for the heavily indebted poor countries. We will continue to engage our G-7 partners to bring greater resources to this effort. Today I challenge the world's wealthier, healthier nations to match America's increasing commitment to a worldwide crusade against AIDS. But more money is not enough.”

“Through public and private efforts, in partnership with partner nations, we will attack the cycle of infection at one critical point, its most heartbreaking point: the moment of mother-to-child transmission. In addition, I announce that our budget request for next year will for the first time ever contain specific funding for the United States military to work with the armed forces of other nations to combat AIDS. Inside our own country, our armed forces have acted effectively to prevent the spread of AIDS in the military. Secretary of Defense Cohen is ready to share our experience with our military counterparts in Africa. He will visit the United Nations during this historic month. We are also committed to helping poor countries gain access to affordable medicines, including those for HIV/AIDS.”

“I would also like to announce here this morning that the budget we will send to our Congress next month will include $50 million for the United States contribution to the vaccine fund of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations. This contribution, in fulfilment of the promise President Clinton made to the General Assembly, will help fund the research, purchase and distribution of life-saving vaccines in developing nations. I am also announcing today an initiative for an expanded public-private partnership in the battle against AIDS. Indeed, in the coming months I will convene a meeting of United States business leaders active in Africa to develop a set of voluntary principles for corporate conduct to make the workplace an effective place for the education and prevention of AIDS. Let us also set this goal.”

“Last year I announced the largest ever increase in the United States commitment to international AIDS programmes: $100 million to fight AIDS in Africa, India, Eastern Europe and other areas. Today I announce America's decision to step up the battle. The budget the Clinton-Gore Administration will send to our Congress next month will include an additional increase of another $100 million, for a total of $325 million, to fund our worldwide fight against AIDS. This new funding will include efforts to reduce the stigma and prevent the spread of AIDS, to reduce mother-to-child transmission, to support home and community-based care for people with AIDS, to provide care for children orphaned by AIDS and to strengthen health infrastructures to prevent and treat AIDS.”

“But we need to do more to harness the talent and the power of the private sector. In September, in his speech to the General Assembly, President Clinton said it was wrong that only 2 per cent of all biomedical research was directed to the major killer diseases in the developing world. He pledged America to a new effort to speed the development and delivery of vaccines for AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other illnesses that disproportionately afflict the poorest nations. This three-part strategy of prevention, treatment and research is the right fight, and the United States has contributed more than $1 billion to wage it worldwide, more than half of that for sub-Saharan Africa. But we must do more.”

“We also must do much more to provide basic care and treatment to the growing number of people who, thank God, are living instead of dying with HIV and AIDS. This requires affordable medicine, but also more than medicine. It requires that we train doctors, nurses and home-care workers, that we develop clinics and community-based organizations to deliver care to those who need it. Today fewer than 5 per cent of those living with AIDS in Africa have access to even basic care. We know we can prolong life, reduce suffering and allow mothers with AIDS to live longer with their children if we offer treatment for opportunistic infections such as tuberculosis and malaria. Our ultimate goal, our best hope, is to prevent AIDS by vaccination, and we are committed to the maximum possible research.”

“We know that the first line of defence against this disease is prevention, and prevention depends on breaking down the barriers against discussing the extent and risks of AIDS. That is one purpose of this historic Security Council meeting. Today, in sight of all the world, we are putting the AIDS crisis at the top of the world's security agenda. We must talk about AIDS not in whispers, not in private meetings alone, in tones of secrecy and shame. We must face the threat as we are facing it right here, in one of the great forums of this earth, openly and boldly, with urgency and compassion. Until we end the stigma of AIDS, we will never end the disease of AIDS. Let us begin by resolving to end the stigma associated with AIDS.”

“I have taken along top health officials, AIDS specialists, corporate leaders and physicians. We have spent long hours with African leaders, heard their ideas and discussed their difficulties with the fateful crisis of AIDS. It is inspiring to see so many in Africa - not only leaders but health-care workers and community workers, mothers and fathers and countless ordinary citizens - fighting to save the lives of the people they love. Ten years ago, Uganda was suffering the world's highest infection rate. Today, because the whole nation has mobilized to end stigma, urge prevention and change behaviour, Uganda is now recording dramatic drops in the infection rate. Uganda, which used to be proof of the problem, is now powerful proof that we can turn the tide against AIDS.”

“AIDS strikes at teachers and denies education to their students. It strikes at the military and subverts the forces of order and peacekeeping. The United States is profoundly moved by the toll AIDS is now taking in Africa. At the same time, we know that our own country has not achieved as much as we should or must in our own battle against AIDS. I am pleased that our Surgeon General, Dr. David Satcher, is here with me today. His recent report tells us that we have not overcome the ignorance and indifference that lead to infection. We must continue to study the success of others while we seek to share with others whatever progress we have made. As Vice-President, I have journeyed four times to sub- Saharan Africa. I asked Dr. Satcher to accompany me on one such trip.”

“More than half the nations of Africa now elect their own leaders - nearly four times the number 10 years ago. Economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa has tripled, creating prospects for a higher quality of life across the continent. Tragically, this historic progress is imperiled just as it is taking hold - imperiled by the spread of AIDS, which now grips 20 million Africans. Fourteen million have already died, one quarter of them children. Each day in Africa 11,000 more men, women and children become HIV-positive, more than half of them under the age of 25. For the nations of sub-Saharan Africa, AIDS is not just a humanitarian crisis. It is a security crisis, because it threatens not only individual citizens but the institutions that define and defend the character of a society. This disease weakens workforces and saps economic strength.”

“The same words should be spoken out not only in South Africa, not only in Africa, but all across the earth. In Africa the scale of the crisis may be greater, the infrastructure weaker and the people poorer, but the threat is real for every people and every nation, everywhere on Earth. No border can keep AIDS out. It cuts across all the lines that divide us. We owe ourselves and each other the utmost commitment to act against AIDS on a global scale, and especially where the scourge is greatest. AIDS is a global aggressor that must be defeated. As we enter this new millennium, Africa has entered the first frontier of momentous progress. Over the past decade a rising wave of African nations has moved from dictatorship to democracy, embraced economic reform, opened markets, privatized enterprises, stabilized currency.”

“I thank the Secretary-General for his statement and for the kind words he addressed to me. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United States. I would like to begin with these words: HIV/AIDS is not someone else's problem. It is my problem; it is your problem. By allowing it to spread, we face the danger that our youth will not reach adulthood. Their education will be wasted, the economy will shrink, there will be a large number of sick people whom the health system will not be able to maintain. These are not my words. They were not uttered in the United States or the United Nations. They were spoken by my friend President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa as he declared South Africa's partnership against AIDS more than a year ago.”

“And my hope is that the first days and years of the millennium, and all those that follow, will be guided by the vision that marks this first meeting. We live in a new tine. We face new and larger responsibilities. Meet them we can, and meet them we must - for the new threats to humanity are as grave as war itself, and the new hopes we have are as precious as peace. 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. It is my personal honour to call on the Secretary- General of the United Nations, who has given so much to the cause of peace and security, Mr. Kofi Annan.”

“Now the human heart, coupled with the human will - not of one individual, not of one nation or group of nations, but the collective will of truly united nations - must master this moment. We must bend it in the direction of life, not death; justice, not oppression; opportunity, not deprivation - a new security for the new world we now inhabit. The future is not something that we merely try to predict. The future is something that we make for ourselves, together. It is up to us to move forward - with faith in our principles, our foresight and our common humanity. The Spanish poet Antonio Machado once said, "Pathwalker, there is no path; we create the path as we walk". There is great hope in this pathmaking meeting. It is an honour to open it.”

“People could wage war in the world, and do nothing to destroy it. But now, threats that were once local can have consequences that are regional or global; damage once temporary can now become chronic and catastrophic. As a world community, we must prove to our citizens that we are wise enough to control what we have been smart enough to create. We must understand that the old conception of global security - with its focus almost exclusively on armies, ideologies and geopolitics - has to be enlarged. We need to show that we not only can contain aggression, prevent war and mediate conflicts, but that we can also work together to anticipate and respond to a new century, with its new global imperatives. The human mind - our ingenuity, our dreaming, our restless quest to do better - created this moment.”

“All this and more constitutes the great global challenge of our time: to create and strengthen a sense of solidarity as we seek a newer world of security for all - security not only from loss of life and the ravages of war, but security from constant fear and degradation, and from a loss of the quality of life and liberty of spirit that should belong to all. If we are to succeed in addressing this new security agenda, we must recognize that because of our rapid growth in population and the historically unprecedented power of the new technologies at our widespread disposal, mistakes which once were tolerable can now have consequences that are multiplied manyfold. For example, for almost all of recorded history, people could do whatever they wished to their environment, and do little to harm it permanently.”

“In order to succeed, I believe - along with growing billions around this planet - that we must create a world where people's faith in their own capacity for self- governance unlocks their human potential and justifies their growing belief that all can share in an ever-widening circle of human dignity and self-sufficiency; a world of freedom and free markets; a world where the free flow of ideas and information, and freer access to education, sustain fundamental freedoms; a world in which parents are free to choose the size of their families with the confidence that the children they bring into this world will survive to become healthy adults, with economic opportunity in prosperous and peaceful communities; a world where we educate girls as well as boys and secure the rights of women everywhere as full members of the human family.”

“Our new security agenda should be pursued with determination, adequate resources and creative use of the new tools at the world's disposal that can be used to bring us together in successful common efforts - tools such as the Internet and the emerging global information infrastructure which, if used imaginatively, will enable new depths of insight and cooperation by nations, non- governmental organizations and citizens at all levels. Our task is not merely to recognize and confront these challenges, but to rise to our higher ideals and work together to make our brightest dreams real in the lives of our children.”

“From this new vantage point, we must forge and follow a new agenda for world security, an agenda that includes the global environmental challenge, which could render all our other progress meaningless unless we deal with it successfully; the global challenge of defeating drugs and corruption, which now spill across our borders; the global challenge of terror, magnified by the availability of new weapons of mass destruction so small they can be concealed in a coat pocket; the new pandemics laying waste to whole societies; and the emergence of new strains of old diseases that are horrifyingly resistant to the antibiotics that protected the past three generations.”

“But while the old threats still face our global community, there are new things under the sun - new forces arising that now, or soon will, challenge international order, raising issues of peace and war. As our world enters the year 2000, it is not the change in our calendar that matters. What matters is that in this symbolic transition from old to new, we find one of those precious few moments in all of human history when we have a chance to become the change we wish to see in the world, by seeking a common agreement to openly recognize a powerful new truth that has been growing just beneath the surface of every human heart. It is time to change the nature of the way we live together on this planet.”

“We have witnessed wars among nations, and violence on the scale of war within nations, for many reasons: because of claims of religious or racial superiority; because of lust for power, disguised as ideology or rationalized as geo-strategic doctrine; because of a sense that a small place or a larger region, or even the whole world itself, was too small to allow for the survival and prosperity of all, unless the powerful could dominate the weak; because of the tendency of too many to see themselves solely as separate groups, celebrating and defending their exclusivity by demonizing and dehumanizing others; and because of poverty, which causes the collapse of hopes and expectations and the coming apart of society, and makes people first desperate, and then freshly open to evil leadership.”

“By the power of example, this meeting demands of us that we see security through a new and wider prism and, forever after, think about it according to a new and more expansive definition. For the past half century, the Security Council has dealt with the classic security agenda built upon common efforts to resist aggression and to stop armed conflict.”

“When 10 people in sub-Saharan Africa are infected every minute; when 11 million children have already become AIDS orphans, and many must be raised by other children; when a single disease threatens everything from economic strength to peacekeeping, we clearly face a security threat of the greatest magnitude. This historic meeting not only recognizes the real and present danger to world security posed by the AIDS pandemic - which I will discuss in further detail during my remarks as head of the United States delegation - but also begins a month-long focus by this Council on the special challenges confronting the continent of Africa. The powerful fact that we begin here today by concentrating on AIDS has a still larger significance: it sets a precedent for Security Council concern and action on a broader security agenda.”

“Today marks the first time, after more than 4,000 meetings stretching back over more than half a century, that the Security Council will discuss a health issue as a security threat. We tend to think of a threat to security in terms of war and peace. Yet no one can doubt that the havoc wreaked and the toll exacted by HIV/AIDS do threaten our security. The heart of the security agenda is protecting lives, and we now know that the number of people who will die of AIDS in the first decade of the twenty-first century will rival the number that died in all of the wars in all of the decades of the twentieth century.”
