  1. “History demands of us - as a generation taking human civilization into the new millennium - that we live up to our solemn pledge of a world free of wars, a world where the culture of peace has taken deep, deep root.”

  2. “Bangladesh resolved major outstanding issues with neighbours by means of peaceful negotiations, paving the way for greater cooperation among our peoples. In our national context, we have found that, given the political will and respect for human rights, peace is possible. It is by demonstrating respect for these values and principles that, through peaceful dialogue, we have been able to resolve decades of civil strife in the Chittagong Hill Tracts in south-eastern Bangladesh. Given the enormous challenges ahead, we believe that the Security Council should meet more often at the summit level than it has in the past. The world looks up to its leaders for making history.”

  3. “Striving for general and complete disarmament is our constitutional commitment. Yesterday, we deposited our instrument of ratification for the Convention banning anti-personnel mines and our instrument of accession for the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. Necessary action must be taken against those who capture power by illegally overthrowing any constitutionally elected Government. I feel that the United Nations can take action on this subject. This is a prerequisite for peace, democracy, human rights and economic advancement. I therefore propose that this supreme Organization of the peoples take a decision to choose and sustain government of the people, by the people and for the people as a universal system of governance, and never to recognize illegal military takeovers of power achieved by trampling constitutional systems.”

  4. “International peace and security must be understood in terms of human security. We should put emphasis on mitigating the effects of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide on the civilian population. The Security Council has to focus on the prevention of armed conflicts by building a culture of peace. Women should not be seen as mere victims of war; they should be allowed to play their rightful role in resolving conflicts. The women of Burundi, the Congo and Somalia have demonstrated great commitment in establishing peace and democracy and in the reconstruction of war-ravaged countries. Similarly, special efforts are needed to address the needs of children affected by armed conflicts. Here I would invite the Council's attention to Bangladesh's proposal for child-soldier-free zones in various parts of the world.”

  5. “In this context, this Summit should express strong support for poverty eradication, sustainable development, democracy, good governance, rule of law and human rights as foundations of durable peace. During the Bangladesh's 1971 war of liberation, we acquired experience of the harmful effects of wars and conflicts wrought on humanity at large. Two hundred thousand women were raped, and hundreds of thousands were victims of mass murders. Our freedom- loving people fought valiantly at the call of our great leader, the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and were victorious. But the vanquished forces killed the Father of the Nation, along with most of the members of my family, on 15 August 1975. This conspiracy has not ended yet. Several attempts were made to kill me.”

  6. “the maintenance of international peace and security in a globalized world is a major responsibility. The Security Council, as the only body devoted exclusively to the maintenance of international peace and security, can do better in a world of civil conflicts. It is encouraging to note that the Security Council is giving more attention to situations of humanitarian crisis involving the civilian population. For the first time, peace operations are being provided with child protection advisers. These are promising beginnings. Bangladesh appreciates Secretary-General Kofi Annan's report, prepared by Ambassador Brahimi, on improving United Nations peace operations. The recommendations contained in the report should receive our serious consideration. The Security Council mandates should enable operations to address root causes of conflicts.”

  7. “Today, as I address this Summit of the Security Council, I remember the day 26 years ago when the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman addressed the General Assembly immediately after Bangladesh was admitted to membership in the United Nations. In his speech, Bangabandhu pledged our full adherence to the principles of the United Nations Charter. We have remained faithful to that pledge, and we continue to serve the United Nations by taking a proactive role. As a member of the Security Council, Bangladesh has been contributing to the preservation and maintenance of international peace and security. This is a reflection of Bangabandhu's commitment to peace, security and harmony among nations. We are here at a time of changing realities and increasing challenges.”
