  1. “The Security Council notes the need to support efforts to halt arms flows into Darfur in contravention of the arms embargo strengthened by resolution 1945 (2010). The Security Council recalls the importance it attaches to an end to impunity, and to justice for crimes committed in Darfur. "The Security Council reaffirms its support for the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur and reiterates its call on the Government of the Sudan and all relevant parties to cooperate fully with the mission in discharging its mandate, and to provide full unhindered access and freedom of movement, as well as its call for an end to impunity for those who attack peacekeepers and humanitarian workers.”

  2. “The Security Council expresses its willingness to 3 consider measures against any party whose actions undermine peace in Darfur. "The Security Council expresses deep concern about the increases in violence and insecurity in Darfur, including ceasefire Violations, attacks by rebel groups, aerial bombardment by the Government of the Sudan, increased inter-tribal fighting, and attacks on humanitarian personnel and peacekeepers, which have restricted humanitarian access to conflict areas where vulnerable populations reside. In this context, the Security Council calls on all parties to protect civilians and maintain full, safe and unhindered access for humanitarian workers to the population in need of assistance.”

The Council strongly urges all rebel movements to join the peace process without further delay or preconditions, and all parties immediately to cease hostilities and engage constructively in negotiations with a View to finding a lasting peace in Darfur. The Security Council expresses concern about attacks on civilians by militias and calls for all support to such groups to cease.”

The Security Council underlines the importance of close coordination between the Panel and all domestic and international observation missions.

  5. “The Security Council calls for an immediate end to statements threatening the security of vulnerable populations. The Security Council also emphasizes that protection of civilians is primarily the responsibility of the 10-64056 Sudanese authorities. The Security Council urges the parties to work actively with local leaders to mitigate tensions in Abyei and other border areas. "The Security Council reaffirms its support for the United Nations Mission in the Sudan (UNMIS) and reiterates its call for all parties to cooperate fully with the Mission in the discharge of its mandate in this crucial period, in particular by ensuring full, unhindered access and freedom of movement for UNMIS personnel and equipment, and for the delivery of referendum materials.”

  6. “"In this context, the Security Council welcomes progress in the negotiations, led by President Mbeki, towards a framework for resolving outstanding issues relating to the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and the future relations of North and South Sudan, on which agreement was reached on 13 November. The Security Council urges the parties to resume negotiations on Abyei expeditiously and to reach agreement on all outstanding issues without further delay. "The Security Council underlines the need for the CPA parties to promote calm, including by providing immediate and ongoing reassurance to people of all nationalities in the Sudan, including southerners in the North and northerners in the South, that their rights, safety and property will be respected whatever the outcome of the referendums.”

  7. “"The Security Council is concerned by the continued delays in releasing to the Southern Sudan Referendum Commission the full funding needed for preparations to continue to move forward. The Security Council calls on the parties and all Member States to respect the outcome of credible referendums, held in accordance with the CPA, that reflect the will of the people of Southern Sudan and Abyei. It requests all parties to refrain from unilateral action and to implement the CPA. "The Security Council underlines the importance of the CPA parties' making rapid progress on a way forward for Abyei's referendum and outstanding CPA issues, and on resolving critical post-referendum issues in a peaceful, mutually beneficial manner, including the border, security, citizenship, debts, assets, currency and natural resources.”

  8. “"The Security Council urges the CPA parties, while working to make unity attractive and recognizing the right to self-determination of the people of Southern Sudan, to take urgent action to implement their commitment, reaffirmed at the High-Level Meeting on the Sudan held in New York on 24 September, to ensure peaceful, credible, timely and free referendums that reflect the will of the people of Southern Sudan and Abyei, as provided for in the CPA. "In this regard, the Security Council welcomes the start of registration for the Southern Sudan referendum on 15 November and 10-64056 encourages further efforts to ensure that the referendums are held on 9 January 2011 in accordance with the CPA and as scheduled in the timeline published for the Southern Sudan referendum by the Southern Sudan Referendum Commission.”

  9. “"The Security Council recalls that the Sudanese parties have full responsibility for the implementation of the CPA, reaffirms its support for and encourages their further efforts to that end and welcomes the leadership of the African Union and the support provided by the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel, under the leadership of President Thabo Mbeki, and by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development. "The Security Council recognizes the parties' commitment to CPA implementation, remains actively seized of the matter and expresses its readiness to act as necessary in support of full implementation of the CPA by the parties. The Council underlines the importance of close coordination between international actors involved in assisting the Sudanese peace processes.”

  14. “The United Nations can provide a platform for victims of terrorism from all over the world, to give them a voice and help others derive strength and inspiration from their courage. Their stories remind us that terrorism is an assault on all humanity. They are the most effective antidote to the peddlers of Violent ideology and a spur to Governments around the world to make common cause against terrorism in all its forms. The United Kingdom will continue to stand absolutely firm in this endeavour.”

  15. “Resolution 1904 (2009), adopted last December, explicitly confirmed that it is illegal to pay ransoms to those whom this Council has sanctioned because of their connection to Al-Qaida or the Taliban, and we look to all countries to respect this resolution. We are here in part because of the terrible atrocities committed not far from this building just over nine years ago. Hardly any country in the world has been untouched by terrorism. The most lasting and devastating impact of terrorism is, of course, on victims, their families and communities. I am reminded of this each day; outside the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London stands a memorial to the 202 victims of the Bali bombings, including 28 British people who died that day.”

  16. “We must work with Governments and a range of partners in those regions to disrupt, contain and reduce the threat. Terrorists are adapting and becoming more opportunistic. The growing trend in kidnapping for ransom is one example of this. The United Kingdom Government believes that we must act to prevent kidnapping ransoms from becoming a significant source of terrorist finance. From our own experience of hostage situations, we understand how difficult kidnapping cases are, but it is dangerous to regard ransoms as a necessary evil or legitimate tool for resolving kidnappings. They encourage more kidnappings and fund murder. Major attacks can be mounted for only tens of thousands of dollars, so million-dollar ransoms can mean dozens of attacks.”

  17. “So our efforts to alleviate suffering, reduce poverty, prevent conflict, keep and build peace, which are essential in and of themselves, also help undermine the ideology of violent extremism and deplete the ranks of Al-Qaida and other terrorist groups. The United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, unanimously reaffirmed by the General Assembly earlier this month, recognizes the importance of addressing conditions conducive to terrorism. To that end, United Nations agencies, such as the United Nations Development Fund and UNESCO, must play full and active roles as members of the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force. We have seen growth in the capability and ambition of Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, and Al-Qaida-aligned extremists operating in East Africa.”

  18. “In that regard, the threat emanating from the Afghan-Pakistan border remains our greatest long-term concern. The current situation could be exacerbated by the consequences of the devastating recent floods. We must therefore reinforce international support to the Government of Pakistan so that the instability and human misery of today do not become the recruiting sergeants of tomorrow. Terrorists will try to exploit disasters, instability, alienation and conflict wherever they can, seeking to harness poverty or political grievances to violent ends, and trying to justify the unjustifiable with specious social, economic and political arguments.”

  19. “While the United Nations efforts have been improving and should be commended, there is still scope, in our View, for better coordination among the various United Nations counter-terrorism bodies, and between the other parts of the United Nations system and Member States, to help Governments develop and implement their own counter-terrorism strategies. United Nations programmes to build the counter- terrorism capacity of Member States should complement bilateral efforts between Member States. The United Nations has a role to play in filling gaps that could otherwise be exploited by terrorists, their financiers and supporters. The fiscal constraints common to most countries in the wake of the financial crisis make it all the more important that we focus resources on assistance to the most vulnerable countries.”

  20. “I am very grateful to you, Mr. President, for organizing this important debate today and to the Secretary-General for being here with us. Terrorism remains one of the greatest challenges to international peace, stability and security, and therefore also to the development and prosperity of nations. The threat posed by international terrorism is evolving and becoming more diffuse, and our response to it as an international community must therefore evolve. We must stand together, building on the successful cooperation of the past to protect our own citizens and assist those of other regions where terrorism has found a foothold.”

  21. “We will need to show that, by the decisions we take and the actions we mandate, we are reducing the impact of violence on civilian populations, and we will need to be confident that we are building national security sectors so that we can withdraw peacekeeping operations, strong in the knowledge that we have supported sustainable peace.”

  22. “We must support regular analysis of potential conflict by the Secretary-General and his senior staff. We should encourage experts across the United Nations system to share information on potential precursors to conflict. Our human rights specialists must be able to share their concerns with those looking for early signs of conflict, and we must have a stronger dialogue with regional and subregional organizations on ways to prevent conflict, including on issues that drive conflict, such as illicit extraction of natural resources. In the year ahead, if we are to tackle these new threats to security, we will need to deliver regular improvement and lasting impact on the ground. We will need to demonstrate that we are tackling potential conflict in this Council.”

  23. “We support the recent review, but we now need to encourage the Commission to take on the really difficult challenges to peacebuilding and provide advice to the Council, and others, on the course of action required to resolve them. In the year ahead Liberia will be a proving ground for the Peacebuilding Commission. It must help build local capacity to maintain the rule of law so that the United Nations can transfer responsibility for security to national authorities. If we are serious about tackling conflict, then the Security Council, along with the rest of the United Nations system, needs to develop a genuine culture of prevention. This is a question of political will. The Council must be prepared to take up fast-moving situations in countries that are not on its agenda.”

  24. “And it is critical if we are to be better at helping countries re-establish the rule of law, reform security services, shore up good governance and begin economic development. Peacebuilding needs to happen as soon as possible, in order for belligerents and the wider population to have the confidence to invest in a peace agreement. In the year ahead we need to see the conclusion of reform that remains incomplete. The United Nations review of international civilian capacities should set out bold recommendations on how the United Nations can much more quickly deploy the right expertise to post-conflict countries. This includes making much better use of the capacity of regional organizations and Member States, particularly those of the South. We also need to see more effective use of the Peacebuilding Commission.”

  25. “In the year ahead, major challenges will continue to place significant demands on these dedicated men and women. Peacekeepers will play a critical role supporting the referendum in the Sudan; and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo we will require still greater effort and innovation from our peacekeepers as they seek to halt attacks on civilians, and in particular on women and children. But peacekeeping alone cannot deliver long-term stability in fragile States. Peacebuilding is critical if we are to address the underlying causes of conflict, such as corruption, ethnic hatred and marginalization. It is critical if we are to strengthen national capacity to manage political disputes peacefully.”

  26. “Delivering national security has become a global effort and a global responsibility. Tackling conflict requires a cohesive, strategic and integrated response. In the United Kingdom, one of our first acts in the new Government was to establish a national security council to coordinate efforts across foreign affairs, defence and international development. In the United Nations we have supported reform to ensure coherence across conflict prevention, peacekeeping and peacebuilding, something that the Security Council, and the whole United Nations system, has collectively sought to deliver in recent years. But the real test is whether such reforms are making a difference on the ground. We strongly commend the dedication of United Nations peacekeepers around the world.”

  27. “I begin by thanking you, Mr. President, for convening this summit. Given the new security threats and economic constraints we face, this debate provides an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to improving the ability of the United Nations to prevent conflict, to forge sustainable peace agreements and to keep and build peace. Instability and conflict have a devastating impact around the world. They affect the lives of millions of people and the prosperity of countries and whole regions. Twenty-two of the 34 countries furthest from achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are in the midst of, or are emerging from, violent conflict. Instability and lawlessness provide fertile ground for extremism, organized crime and terrorism- threats that reach beyond the borders of single States.”
