1. “Other agencies in Kosovo - the OSCE, KFOR, EULEX and so on - should continue to cooperate and coordinate with UNMIK in accordance with their respective mandates. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The meeting rose at 5.10 p.m.”

2. “In conclusion, I would like to express our appreciation for the fact that UNMIK has continued to implement its mandate in an impartial and status- neutral manner and has facilitated cooperation between Pristina and Belgrade, the communities in Kosovo, the Kosovo Force (KFOR), the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). We commend and support Special Representative Zarif and UNMIK for their contribution towards improving the situation in northern Kosovo, and for the services that the Mission is rendering in areas that better the daily lives of all Kosovars. The Mission should continue to implement its mandate in accordance with resolution 1244 (1999) and other relevant decisions.”

3. “We hope that with UNMIK's direct support and encouragement to the International Committee of the Red Cross, it will be possible to make further progress on that issue. We note UNMIK's continued monitoring of the ongoing Medicus human organ trafficking trial before the District Court of Pristina. The trial should take place in a free, fair and transparent manner. The international presences in Kosovo led by UNMIK should render full assistance to the process.”

4. “We welcome these developments and hope that the sides will soon resume substantive engagement within the framework of the EU-facilitated dialogue to resolve the contentious issues. Despite the relative calm that prevailed during the reporting period, there has not been substantial change in the situation with regard to minority communities. Recurring security incidents affecting them need to be urgently addressed in order to promote intercommunity harmony and facilitate their return. UNMIK, together with the other international presences, should continue to encourage the Kosovo authorities to address the problems adversely affecting the minority communities and their cultural and religious sites. In that connection, UNMIK's continued support of UNESCO remains critical. The issue of missing persons is an important humanitarian issue.”

5. “I will now make a statement in my national capacity. Let me at the outset thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Farid Zarif, for his briefing on the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). I would also like to thank Mr. Ivan Mrkie, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Serbia, and Mr. Enver Hoxhaj for their statements. There were several positive developments during the reporting period. Technical discussions on the implementation of agreements reached so far in the dialogue facilitated by the European Union (EU) resulted in Serbia's endorsement of the technical protocol on the implementation of the agreement on thejoint management of crossings. Serbia also engaged with the EU to help clarify the ambiguity concerning Kosovo's participation in regional forums.”

12. “Such cooperation must be serious and include providing assistance for the AU's capacity- building, as per its requirements, not only when some permanent members deem it in their interest. It is our expectation that these ideas will be pursued by Council members in the coming months so that the views expressed by the wider United Nations membership find resonance in the Council's work and working methods. In conclusion, let me reiterate India's considered View that genuine reform of the working methods of the Security Council requires a comprehensive reform of the membership of the Council, with expansion in both permanent and non-permanent categories, not only improvement in its working procedures. This is essential both to the credibility and to the continued confidence of the international community in this institution.”

13. “Ninth, the Council should concentrate its time and efforts on dealing with issues concerning its primary responsibility with regard to international peace and security as mandated by the United Nations Charter, rather than encroach upon the mandate of the General Assembly. Tenth, before mandating measures under Chapter VII of the Charter, the Council should first make serious efforts to achieve pacific settlements of disputes through measures under Chapter VI. In this connection, the Council must also improve its cooperation with regional organizations, particularly the African Union (AU), since a large volume ofthe Council's work concerns the African continent.”

14. “Fifth, penholders should allow the greater and systematic participation of elected members as co-penholders. Sixth, non-members should be given systematic access to subordinate organs of the Security Council, including the right to participate. Seventh, the participation of troop- and police- contributing countries in decision-making concerning peacekeeping operations must cover the establishment, conduct, review and termination of peacekeeping operations, including the extension and change of mandates, as well as for specific operational issues. Eighth, countries having a specific interest in a particular agenda-item must be consulted before an outcome document on that item is adopted.”

15. “During the past two years, we have strongly supported efforts in the Informal Working Group aimed at improving Council's working methods. Some specific points include the following. First, the Council should amend its procedures so that items do not remain on its agenda permanently. Second, the reporting cycle should be practical and results-oriented so that issues do not come for consideration so routinely as to bog down the limited time that the Council has at its disposal. Third, the mandate cycle should be streamlined to spread the Council's work throughout the year. Fourth, Articles 31 and 32 of the Charter must be fully implemented by consulting with non-Security Council members on a regular basis, especially members with a special interest in a substantive matter under the Council's consideration.”

16. “Secondly, the international community as a whole must be cognizant that enlarging the Security Council to reflect contemporary geopolitical realities would improve its representative character and grant greater legitimacy and credibility to its decisions. Thirdly, there is a need for real improvement in its working methods to enhance the Council's effectiveness and efficiency. Cosmetic changes to working methods alone will not help. Real improvement needs changes in both process and approach, which require reform of the composition of the Council. Insofar as the working methods of the Council are concerned, the first and foremost necessity is to make them transparent and inclusive. Access to documentation and information is an issue of particular concern, and the tendency to hold closed meetings that have no records should be curbed.”

17. “The Council has also not acted to harness the capabilities of the wider United Nations membership. Its all-too-evident eagerness to apply methods of coercion under Chapter VII, to the neglect of provisions under Chapters VI and VIII, has proved to be counter- productive in resolving several crises, even while the Council has sought to expand the definition of peace and security with a view to encroaching upon the Charter-mandated roles of other United Nations organs. Let me briefly share India's perspective on how the Security Council could better its performance. First, the permanent members of the Security Council must recognize, not only individually but also collectively, that the Council must be reformed to make it reflect the contemporary realities of the international system.”

18. “The Security Council is mandated by the United Nations Charter with the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. What the Council does and how it acts to discharge its responsibility is thus of interest to the entire international community, not only to Council members, let alone the permanent members. Over the years, there has been a growing realization that the Council's composition, rooted in the situation obtaining in 1945, and its working methods are divorced from contemporary reality of international relations. This is exemplified by the fact that the Council has shown little interest in consulting with those affected most by its decisions and in adopting transparent and inclusive rules of procedures that remain provisional even after the Council's existence for six and a half decades.”

At the outset, I would like to thank Ambassador Moraes Cabral, Permanent Representative of Portugal, and his delegation for co-authoring with my delegation the concept note for today's open debate (8/2012/853, annex). I would also like to put on record our deep appreciation of Ambassador Moraes Cabral's stewardship of the Informal Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Questions this year. His active involvement and guidance have enabled the Working Group to consider several issues related to the Council's working methods in order to promote transparency and the greater involvement of elected members in the Council's work.”

34. “Such trends require the high-risk area for piracy to be regularly reviewed in a transparent manner, based on confirmed incidents of piracy. That is an absolute necessity for coastal States in the region and should be given due priority. In addition, we fully endorse the conclusion of the Deputy Secretary-General that three challenges require our immediate attention: better information-sharing and trust-building among countries and agencies involved in counter-piracy efforts, stronger capacity to prosecute piracy-related cases, and the establishment of a framework governing the use of privately contracted, armed security personnel on board vessels to ensure appropriate regulation and accountability.”

35. “We hope that the new Government of Somalia will fully implement the counter-piracy measures delineated in the road map and will be supported by the United Nations and the international community. We also encourage States on the Gulf of Guinea and in the region to continue making all collaborative efforts, including through regional organizations, in combating piracy and armed robbery in the Gulf of Guinea. In conclusion, we would like to note that the increased presence of international and national naval forces has had a variable impact on the success rates of piracy attempts in different areas. For example, action by the Indian navy has ensured that there has been no successful act of piracy in the area just off the western coast of India in the past year.”

36. “Therefore, it is essential to investigate and prosecute individuals and networks that provide the leadership, support and financial flows for the sustenance of piracy. That would require broader criminal legislation covering the crimes of extortion, kidnapping, conspiracy, money- laundering and financing of pirate activities, as well as active collaboration and sharing of information and intelligence among the private sector, States and relevant international organizations. It should also be kept in mind that combating maritime piracy is an important issue that is intrinsically linked with the security situation in Somalia and in the States bordering the Gulf of Guinea.”

37. “We commend the efforts of the United Nations Political Office for Somalia, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the United Nations Development Programme in that regard, and urge them to continue their efforts. Their assistance to the States of the region should focus on four main areas: legal reforms to criminalize piracy, capacity-building for the prosecution and trial ofpiracy cases, effective law enforcement, and improvement of prison infrastructure in Somalia and safe States in the region. India is of the firm View that steps to disrupt land-based pirate activities and associated financial flows are absolutely necessary to a multidimensional counter-piracy approach.”

38. “Although naval ships deployed in the Gulf of Aden pursuant to the establishment of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia have successfully thwarted several piracy attempts and provided security escorts to merchant marines in those waters, the growing scope and expanding coverage of the problem indicates that naval operations alone may be insufficient, and that there is a need to adopt a comprehensive counter- piracy strategy that includes efforts to deter pirates and ensure their effective prosecution. No effort to prosecute and imprison pirates can succeed without the effective involvement of the States of the region. Capacity-building not only of Somalia, but also of other States of the region, is an essential component of that strategy.”

39. “India has actively supported international efforts at the operational level, including by participating in anti-piracy patrols in the Gulf of Aden since 2008, and has also deployed its ships in the eastern and north-eastern Arabian Sea. Operations of the Indian Navy have helped to neutralize several attempts of piracy. While we will continue the counter-piracy operations, there is also an urgent need for the international community to address the serious problem of seafarers who are taken hostage and the consequent humanitarian problems faced by them and their families. That will require active cooperation in sharing information, evidence and intelligence related to the investigation, prosecution and sentencing of suspected pirates, as well as efforts to achieve an early release of seafarers being held by pirates.”

40. “The negative humanitarian impact of the threat on seafarers, who are the lifeline of maritime shipping, can no longer be ignored. The Secretary-General's successive reports present an alarming picture. Despite increased naval presence, pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia have continued with little change in the level of violence employed by the pirates against seafarers and others. As of 22 August, Somali pirates still held 11 ships and 188 hostages, including 43 Indian seafarers. The problem is also intensifying in the Gulf of Guinea. Given the adverse impact of acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea on maritime trade, seafarers and security, India attaches high priority to combating piracy, including in waters off the coast of Somalia and in the Gulf of Guinea.”

Let me begin by thanking Deputy Secretary- General Jan Eliasson for his briefing on piracy and armed robbery at sea and on the annual report of the Secretary-General on piracy off of the coast of Somalia (S/2012/783). Even though the problem of piracy is as old as the history of maritime navigation, the international community is today facing it in unprecedented and growing dimensions. Having started off the coast of Somalia, the threat now looms over an area of more than 2.8 million square miles, posing a formidable task to patrolling naval forces. Not only is piracy a threaten to the freedom of maritime navigation; it is having destabilizing effects on global and regional trade and security.”

The process of listing and delisting must be guided by the same set of principles - fairness, credibility and transparency. India has an unwavering commitment to supporting international efforts to prevent non-State actors and terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery. The international community must continue to strengthen its efforts to eliminate the risks related to sensitive materials and technologies falling into the hands of terrorists and non-State actors.”

50. “India fully supports all efforts to strengthen international and regional cooperation to counter terrorism and, most important, to help ensure the effective implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions, including resolutions 1373 (2001) and 1624 (2005), and comprehensive and the integrated implementation of the United Nations Global Counter- Terrorism Strategy. We welcome the listing of the Haqqani Network by the Sanctions Committee established pursuant to resolution 1988 (2011). That Group has also targeted Indian interests in the past. The unity of the international community is critical in isolating the terror groups that threaten peace and security in our region and in other parts of the world.”
