  1. “We must act in the better interests of the child. From that point of View, the mechanism must not simply be a system to produce documents but must be a framework for the application of specific and effective measures to help child soldiers who are displaced, or refugees or victims of sexual violence or any other form of Violence. I would not want to conclude before expressing some wishes of my delegation. The Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict should present, in a reasonably short period, recommendations based on the first report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (S/2006/389).”

  2. “The mechanism should be gradually refined and its reports should be part of a regular follow-up by the Council. The fight against the impunity of those who violate the rights of the child must be supported. Stronger measures must be taken in the area of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration. Particularly with regard to children, it is essential to ensure lasting integration by stressing education and rehabilitation, especially psychosocial rehabilitation, of former child soldiers. Cooperation between international, regional and national organizations for the protection of children affected by armed conflict should be strengthened. The direct role of the Security Council in the area of the protection of children as part of its responsibility to maintain international peace and security is now well established.”

  3. “My delegation recognizes the overwhelming need for the Council to move on to the application of its decisions by adopting specific measures to protect children in armed conflict. To this end, our efforts could be based on the following areas. We could examine information relating to the commitments made and the progress accomplished to end the recruitment and use of children and other Violations committed against them in situations of armed conflict. We could also strengthen United Nations humanitarian activities and guarantee, in all circumstances, the safety of those responsible for implementing the mechanism in the field. Dialogue can be encouraged in the field between parties to the conflict, in order to avoid possible suspicion about the credibility of the mechanism and the United Nations agencies in charge of its implementation.”

  4. “This is why my delegation welcomes all resolutions adopted by the Security Council to protect children in armed conflict, dating back to the 1949 Geneva Conventions. The Council's commitment to this fight since 1998 has been translated into various resolutions, among them resolution 1612 (2005). Thanks to the Council's action and the putting into place of various forms of protection for children in armed conflict, this is now an integral part of the United Nations peacekeeping missions. Many challenges remain, and today's debate brings hope, because it bears witness to the universal awareness of the urgency of implementing a monitoring and reporting mechanism on children and armed conflict through concerted action on the part of the international community, with a view to attenuating the consequences of war on children.”

  5. “They also include the establishment in a growing number of countries of monitoring and reporting mechanisms relating to children and armed conflict, the nomination of a new Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict and the issuance of the first report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict with reference to a specific country, in this case the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Having been the theatre of successive civil wars from 1993 to 2002, my country is aware of the heavy debt paid by children who have been exposed to insecurity and vulnerability, rape, pillaging, torture, killings and consumption of drugs, among other things.”

  6. “Veneman, Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), for the information she has made available to us. My delegation would like to congratulate UNICEF as a United Nations agency for the important role that it has always played for children. My thanks also go to the representatives of the United Nations Development Programme and the World Bank. Just one year after the adoption of resolution 1612 (2005), my delegation is happy to note the progress that has been made in its implementation. We were very interested to note the effective start of the activities of the Working Group on children and armed conflict, which has taken the form of producing working documents. These include the terms of reference, the work programme for 2006 and the guidelines for the reports of the Secretary-General to the Working Group.”

  7. “Mr. Biaboroh-Iboro (Congo) (spoke in French): Mr. President, my delegation is grateful to you for having taken this welcome initiative to organize a debate on children and armed conflict in your dual capacity as President of the Security Council for the current month and as Chair of the Working Group of the Council on children and armed conflict, established by resolution 1612 (2005). I would also like to congratulate Ms. Coomaraswamy for the work she has done as Special Representative of the Secretary- General and thank her for her presentation on children and armed conflict. I would like to assure her of my delegation's cooperation in the exercise of her new duties, and we realize how broad they are. Finally, we thank Ms.”

  8. “The initial conclusions that were presented to us yesterday are, to our mind, a good basis for a settlement of the crisis in that they give priority to the need for an immediate cessation of hostilities, which is a precondition to political negotiations and diplomatic efforts on all of the problems set out, which need to be considered concomitantly. That is an approach which would make it possible to reduce tensions and open the door to a lasting settlement of the crisis in the Middle East based on relevant Security Council resolutions, the Quartet road map and the principles of international law.”

  9. “Yes, we must also, with a view to a lasting settlement, give diplomacy a chance to seek a just, comprehensive and lasting solution to the conflict in the Middle East, for which the instruments have already been created and a road map established. In this respect, my delegation greatly encourages the many and varying initiatives that are emerging and that need to be channelled. Already, our delegation welcomes the personal involvement of the Secretary-General and welcomes the avenues for a settlement explored by the high-level team that he sent to that region.”

  10. “More than ever, we must heed the moving appeals of leaders and populations in the region and not abandon them to their own fate. We must contribute to easing their suffering, particularly by establishing conditions by which they can move about and have access to emergency assistance via humanitarian corridors in Lebanon. Yes, we are duty-bound, in order not to be complicit, to respond to the distress of innocent populations who are trapped by a pattern of war and extremism. My delegation calls upon all parties to the conflict to comply with their highest obligation to protect civilians against attack, in accordance with the principles of international humanitarian law.”

  11. “The Security Council, fortified by the primary responsibility that falls to it within the framework of maintaining international peace and security, must clearly and firmly call upon the protagonists to the conflict to immediately cease hostilities. That is the least that we can do today. My delegation believes that it is unacceptable, indeed inconceivable, that the Council would maintain a prolonged silence, given the increased deterioration of a situation with dramatic consequences for the life of civilian populations. It is unacceptable that we would indulge in speculations on the outcome of an armed conflict because experience tells us, particularly in this region, that no military victory will produce a sustainable resolution of the complicated issues facing the States and entities of the Middle East.”

  12. “It is also urgent that an effective response from the international community be provided to relieve the suffering of civilians, particularly women and children, hostages and victims of acts of war of unprecedented violence both in Lebanon and Palestine and in Israel. We already had an opportunity in this Chamber to say what we think about this situation. Today, the time has come to seek appropriate solutions. The destructive violence must rapidly give way to a peaceful settlement and to an end of fighting, which is a precondition for a peaceful solution but is above all a necessary condition to relieve the unspeakable plight of the civilians in that region.”

  13. “Mr. Biaboroh-Iboro (Congo) (spoke in French): My delegation would like to thank you, Mr. President, for having organized this public debate on the situation in the Middle East, which is currently experiencing the horrors of war. There is nothing routine about this monthly meeting, given that it is taking place against the backdrop of open warfare in both Gaza and Lebanon. My delegation would like to thank Mr. Nambiar for the briefing he has given us regarding the mission to the region carried out by the high-level team. I should also like to thank Mr. Egeland for the information he has provided to us about the humanitarian crisis. It is undeniable that the situation in the Middle East in recent days is greatly alarming.”

  14. “But the alternative is not having very positive results. We do not believe that there can be any resolution through the firing of rockets against civilian populations, the abduction of soldiers or the bombing of airports. Such actions will never lead to the release of prisoners or to the dismantling of militias, still less to the establishment of a just and lasting peace.”

    2006-07-14 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5489 (2006) · source

  15. “We also request that, in accordance with the wishes of the Lebanese Government, an immediate ceasefire be declared, followed by serious negotiations on all pending issues: release of prisoners and detainees, implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions relating to this situation and, in particular, the disarmament and disbanding of militias, normalization of relations between Lebanon and its neighbours and respect for the Blue Line. My delegation reaffirms that only dialogue and negotiation can make it possible for the States of the region, with the resolute support of the international community, to achieve a just and lasting peace on the basis of the relevant United Nations resolutions and the principles of international law. Of course, the response will be that there is nothing new here.”

  16. “Those, too, are acts of war that endanger the civilian population and that destroy socio-economic infrastructure and seriously weaken the Lebanese authorities, who are embarked upon a national dialogue that we have encouraged. Nevertheless, this is not the time for condemnation. We need to act quickly to ease tensions in order to return to a political and diplomatic solution. This is why my delegation welcomes the initiative taken by the Secretary-General to send a high-level delegation to the region; we also encourage all national and regional initiatives.”

    2006-07-14 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5489 (2006) · source

  17. “That is why we condemn all acts of violence, whoever the authors and whatever the motivation. Above all, we deplore the factors that triggered the immediate crisis - namely, the rocket attacks on Israel by members of Hizbollah and the abduction and detention of Israeli soldiers. All of those acts are clearly provocative and only serve, ultimately, to exacerbate tension, thereby making Lebanon even more fragile and endangering the lives of the civilian population. But we condemn equally firmly the disproportionate reprisals by the Israeli army, which did not hesitate to bomb Beirut intensively, to launch incursions into southern Lebanon and to impose a land, sea and air blockade of Lebanon.”

  18. “Mr. Ikouebe (Congo) (spoke in French): As it participates in today's debate, my delegation hopes very much that the Council will take full account of what is at stake here and will send the right message to the protagonists in this crisis in order to restore peace, while stressing negotiation and dialogue. For, clearly, today we have a very dangerous escalation. In considering this item, my delegation still recalls those moving words of the father of the Israeli soldier who was kidnapped in Palestine a few weeks ago - a father who hoped this tragedy was not going to lead to more misfortune for innocent people in Palestine and in Israel. He did not know how right he was, nor, undoubtedly, did he imagine that the tragedy would spill over the borders.”

  19. “Now, however, I feel that the moment has come for everyone - the international 3 community, and the United Nations in particular, as well as the political actors, leaders and people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo - to ensure a successful outcome this time around and to begin the process of rehabilitation. The Security Council mission undertaken a few weeks ago to the Democratic Republic of the Congo was therefore very welcome to us. It was the ideal opportunity, on the eve of an important event, to clarify the rules of the game and to agree on the steps that must be taken in the future to ensure an end to the lengthy transitional process.”

  20. “There is still a long road to travel before peace and stability are fully restored and the foundations have been laid for sustainable development. We must therefore bear in mind the need to preserve the potential for ongoing cooperation with the international community, which must remain engaged, and with the United Nations in particular, which must on this occasion ensure the successful fruition of its partnership with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. My Congolese sensibility leads me to stress that point. Six days ago, the Democratic Republic of the Congo celebrated the forty-sixth anniversary of its independence. It was precisely at the time that independence was declared that the difficulties arose. The crisis in that country has thus lasted 46 years. We are all aware that the first United Nations intervention was not successful.”

  21. “We, too, expressed our concerns with regard to the tone adopted by the media and made it clear that the Democratic Republic of the Congo must find a way to ease tensions before proceeding to elections. With the launching of the campaign on 29 June, we note that calm is prevailing for the moment, and hope that it will continue to do so up to the elections and beyond. The second message was that the international community has been and continues to be ready to support the Democratic Republic of the Congo during this process without any interference, as we believe that the future leaders of the Democratic Republic of the Congo should emerge exclusively from the ballot box. We also explained that, while the elections certainly represent a crucial step, a great deal remains to be done. The elections are unlikely to resolve all the problems.”

  22. “We sent two main messages to the political protagonists and civil society in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I shall continue to use the full name "Democratic Republic of the Congo" in my 06-41819 statement because, if I were to use the terms "Congolese people" or "Congolese leadership", I would feel as if I were referring to my own country and nation. My brother from the Democratic Republic of the Congo will therefore understand why I shall use the full name of his country to make that distinction. Our first message was one of thanks to all our interlocutors in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We told them that it is high time that democratic, free, transparent and credible elections were organized there in an atmosphere of peace and rejecting hateful and divisive language.”

  23. “Mr. Ikouebe (Congo) (spoke in French): I should like at the outset to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for July. I wish to assure you that my delegation is fully prepared to work closely with yours during the course of our work. I also wish to thank our colleague, Ambassador Loj, and her delegation for their excellent work in June. I welcome the opportunity to thank you, Sir, in your capacity as the head of the mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for the excellent report that was issued following the visit and which you have just outlined for us. I simply wish to confirm that everything you have just said perfectly reflects the many discussions we held in Kinshasa on 11 and 12 June.”

  24. “I would note that we were waiting for the conclusions of the fact-finding mission sent by President Konare. I can say for certain that two days ago President Konare went to N'djamena and told the Chadian authorities that the Commission was now in a position to issue its report. At that time we will see exactly what is involved. Thus work is continuing; it was neither halted nor hampered. Finally, I should like to echo the concern expressed by Ambassador de La Sabliere as to the question of international protection of the camps. I believe it important that we consider this question, and I, too, believe that the Secretary-General should make recommendations in that respect. That is what I wished to say in addition to the outstanding presentation made by the head of the delegation.”

  25. “I have heard it said that the agreement was unsponsored, but it is a fact that when we were speaking about it - particularly when we were in N'djamena - there were indeed observers from the countries concerned along the borders. I would note in particular that Congolese observers were present at Abeche, pursuant to the Tripoli Agreement. Thus the doors are not shut. That announcement was made to the Chadian delegation, which went to Brazzaville immediately following our visit there. On 14 June it was recalled to that delegation that the African Union remained committed and that the signatories of the Tripoli Agreement intended to have it respected, as evidenced by presence of the observers. Here in the Council we also adopted two statements on the issue.”

  26. “Members should receive it during the course of the day. Also, with respect to contacts with all the parties in the Sudan, we must continue our efforts, because there is much work to be done. We must provide reassurance to all our partners. This is not the time to throw in the towel. Let me say a few words about Chad. Ambassador de La Sabliere has accurately summed up our concerns with respect to that issue. At this stage, we are fully aware of the various concerns that have been expressed. We understand that there have been mutual accusations of interference by Khartoum and N'djamena. However, in that respect we referred them to the Tripoli Agreement of 8 February 2006.”

  27. “Proof of this was the dispatch of the joint mission to the Sudan immediately following the Council's decision. That is very important, and we must continue to proceed in that manner. Africa has stated that it would assume full responsibility for the decision to make the transition from an African mission to a United Nations mission and that it would take all appropriate measures to ensure that understanding prevailed in its contacts with all partners, in particular the Sudanese Government. In that respect, I would like to announce that the African Union's Peace and Security Council met on 27 June in Banjul at the ministerial level and adopted a decision on the issue of Darfur. Just this morning I signed a letter authorizing the distribution to Council members of the decision and of President Konare's report.”

  28. “I also appreciate his concise presentation of the mission's report on the mission, which in every respect reflected the work we 3 carried out on the ground in the Sudan, in Addis Ababa, with the African Union and in Chad. During our travels, the African members of the Council mission informed all the interlocutors that they fully associated themselves with the Council's approach to the issues discussed and that they had participated in the decisions taken. That indicated clearly to our interlocutors that there was no kind of plot or conspiracy against any African State behind the Council's decisions. We wanted to stress that to our interlocutors. Allow me briefly to comment on several points. First, I think that we have had confirmation that we must indeed strengthen cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union.”

  29. “Mr. Ikouebe (Congo) (spoke in French): I should like in particular to congratulate our colleague, Ambassador Jones Parry, who led the Security Council delegation in the Sudan and Addis Ababa, on the remarkable professional qualities that he displayed throughout our visit. Indeed, we needed those qualities of level-headedness and firmness so that we could be understood by our interlocutors. Undoubtedly, sometimes we were not understood, but that was not his fault; he was precise and expressed our message clearly and positively. He was also firm with regard to our principles. Therefore, I wish to pay him a well-deserved tribute.”

That is why my delegation hopes that the donor conference soon to be held in Geneva - on 5 and 6 June 2006 - on the implementation of that resolution will have all the support expected. Finally, we reaffirm our support for the Chairs of the three Committees and wish them every success in their missions to ensure the success of our common fight against the scourge of terrorism.

The work programmes of the three Committees highlight the need to better coordinate the activities of their expert groups in order to create genuine synergies in their efforts vis-a-vis Member States; hence the need to identify best practices through the expert groups and to make those practices available to States that need them most. In that regard, the websites of the three Committees, whose services have been improved, are an effective means for communication and the exchange of information.”

We are certain that that awareness-raising effort will greatly help to improve the performance of all parties interested in the task of counter-terrorism. However, with regard to the 1267 Committee, my delegation continues to stress the need to update lists, taking into account all matters of interest to Member States and others, and, as we have said, to ensure that human rights and legal protections prevail. The 1267 Committee must be able to provide Member States with the information to which they are entitled concerning persons whose names are listed and anything relevant to their listing or delisting.”

In that regard, my delegation welcomes the strengthening of the dialogue with Member States, as recommended by the Chair of the 1267 Committee, through field visits and meetings with regional or subregional organizations to create active partnerships in the area of sanctions implementation, with, of course, all the necessary precautions involving the issue of list revision and taking into account provisions concerning the legal and humanitarian aspects.”

  39. “This meeting is being held a few days after the worldwide commemoration of Anti-Terrorism Day, which is observed every 21 May in memory of all the innocent victims of this scourge throughout the world. The commemoration of that day shows - as if it were necessary - that the threat of terrorism must always be taken very seriously and that any solution to that threat must be transnational. That is why my delegation notes with interest the ongoing efforts of our Committees to encourage Member States to effectively implement the various counter-terrorism resolutions. It is true that that effort is long-term and has not yet had all the results we had expected, but any progress in this regard - modest though it might be - must be taken fully into account.”

My thanks go also to the three Sll'V.5446 expert groups that assist the ambassadors in their difficult tasks. The three briefings show that each of the three Committees has reached a significant level of work in its area of activity. In particular, they show that the Security Council is maintaining a constant and legitimate vigilance with respect to an equally constant threat.”
