  2. “We commend your delegation, Madam President, and that of Denmark, for the effective leadership during the difficult negotiations. We look forward to the contribution of the Peacebuilding Commission to the achievement of durable peace and sustainable development in the Great Lakes region. The international community should therefore be encouraged to continue to support the people of Africa in their quest for sustainable peace and development. In this context, we welcome the Secretary-General's proposal to support the 10-year capacity-building plan for the African Union, as outlined in his report on the implementation of the recommendations of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations, contained in document A/60/640.”

  3. “Namibia regrets the postponement of the second International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, which was scheduled to take place in Nairobi in November last year, and hopes that such a conference will be convened in the near future. During the 2005 world summit, our leaders took important decisions, which provided an impressive agenda for the reform and strengthening of our Organization so as to enable it to meet the challenges that we face today. The Summit Outcome document mandated the General Assembly to finalize and continue to deliberate on issues, including the establishment of the Peacebuilding Commission, which was operationalized by the General Assembly and the Security Council through resolution 60/180 and resolution 1645 (2005), respectively.”

  4. “Women and children suffer the most during conflict. In that connection, we strongly believe that in order to achieve a comprehensive and sustainable peace, every effort should be made to ensure the full participation and contribution of women during peace negotiations and during the execution of post-conflict strategies and programmes. In this regard, we reiterate our commitment to the full and effective implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) on women and peace and security. The first International Conference on Peace and Security, Democracy and Development in the Great Lakes Region, held in Dar es-Salaam from 19 to 20 November 2004, provided an opportunity for the countries of the region to devise effective ways and means of finding durable solutions to the problems facing the region.”

  5. “We fully recognize the primary responsibility of the Security Council for the maintenance of international peace and security as mandated by the United Nations Charter. At the same time, we also acknowledge the role played by regional and subregional organizations in finding durable peace in the region. The AU, for its part, has consistently maintained that security is a sine qua non for development; hence, the establishment of the African Union peace and security organ, with the sole purpose of dealing with conflict prevention and resolution and peacekeeping in Africa. In this regard, we call for the speedy implementation of resolution 1631 (2005), which urges international organizations to contribute to the strengthening of the capacity of African regional and subregional organizations.”

  6. “The process of demobilization, disarmament, repatriation and reintegration in that part of the region can be successfully carried out only through the cooperation of all of the countries in the region. We therefore reiterate our support for resolution 1649 (2005) and call for its full and urgent implementation. Furthermore, efforts should be made by the neighbouring countries to reach a comprehensive agreement aimed at a long-term strategy for sustainable peace and development and mutual understanding among the countries of the region, thereby ensuring that the region is transformed into one of peace and security, where political and social stability, economic development and regional integration, as well as democracy and social justice, prevail.”

  7. “The presence of militia and foreign armed groups in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has created a deplorable situation that threatens the civilian population and increases the widespread violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. The situation thus requires the cooperation of the African Union (AU) countries of the Great Lakes region. Bilateral and regional initiatives focusing on confidence-building measures should be encouraged. We urge the countries of the region to strengthen bilateral cooperation and commit themselves fully to the effective implementation of the African Union Non-Aggression and Common Defence Pact, adopted in Abuja on 31 January 2005, as a regional security mechanism for conflict prevention, management and peaceful settlement of disputes.”

  8. “We are confident that participation in this debate at the ministerial level will give great impetus to the Council's deliberations. We are cognizant of the fact that a conflict affecting one country can rapidly engulf the entire region because of the social, economic and cultural links that exist among our people. The current trend of conflict and the complexity thereof has consistently dictated the need for concerted efforts by all stakeholders involved in finding durable peace and security, which in turn paves the way for sustainable economic development. While there has been commendable progress in the region, such as the holding of democratic elections in Burundi and the referendum in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, continuing instability in other parts of the region undermines peace efforts in the Great Lakes region.”

  9. “You have once again shown your commitment, and that of your country, Tanzania, to resolving one of Africa's most pressing problems by bringing the issue to the Council's attention early in the yean We thank you, Madam, for the non-paper that you have circulated, which is the basis of our discussions today, and hope that it will result in the Council's making informed decisions on the matter. Namibia attaches great importance to the security situation in the Great Lakes region, not only because the people of that region have suffered for too long from conflict and its consequences, but also because the absence of peace in that region negatively affects the rest of the African continent. The situation also continues to pose a threat to international peace and security.”

  10. “It is a great honour for me and my delegation to participate in this important meeting of the Security Council. At the outset, allow me to extend to you, Madam President, our congratulations on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for January 2006. We are confident that your able leadership and diplomatic skills will ensure success in the work ahead, and I would like to assure you of my delegation's support and cooperation during your tenure. We are delighted, Madam, that you and other members of the Council have organized this debate on peace, security and development in the Great Lakes region. That demonstrates that the Security Council continues to devote most of its programme of work to issues related to peace, security and development, particularly in Africa.”
