  1. “We are confident that the Security Council's more than 60-year experience, coupled with increasing mobilization of other actors for international peace and security around the world, will provide a rich and solid base from which we can draw innovative ideas for supporting the efforts of the people and Government of Guinea-Bissau to restore lasting peace and security in their country.”

  2. “The conference will also contribute to alleviating the pervasive poverty that Guinea Bissau-faces, another cause and source of instability. In the interdependent world of today, prosperity and stability are indivisible concepts. Today, we are confronted with the choice of continuing our commitment to supporting the Government and people of Guinea-Bissau, a nation in despair, or abandoning it to an unknown fate. However, it is important to note that the path we choose to follow will constitute the standard by which the future will assess our efforts.”

  3. “The Truth and National Reconciliation Commission is intended to bring moral reparation for the injury done to the relatives of Victims of the various crimes that occurred in recent years in Guinea-Bissau, and to launch genuine national reconciliation among the people of Guinea-Bissau. However, it is important to point out that the Commission must not be seen as a substitute for the legal measures already in progress. Considering the positive signs that the authorities of Guinea-Bissau have shown, the African Union believes that holding a donors conference for the country will constitute an incentive for efforts to reform the defence and security sectors - a cornerstone in promoting democracy, the rule of law and good governance.”

  4. “The judicial branch showed its determination to continue and effectively conclude the criminal investigation into the murders perpetrated in March and June 2009. The Guinea-Bissau authorities accepted the African Union proposal for the creation of a truth and national reconciliation commission as the last stage of the forthcoming National Reconciliation Conference. And Guinea-Bissau's Government obtained positive results in its implementation of the recommendations of the Bretton Woods institutions. On the issue of drug trafficking, despite the legal measures to be adopted, the creation and training of a special rapid-deployment police force with modern equipment is imperative.”

  5. “President Malam Bacai Sanha and Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Junior made a commitment to end their differences, expressed on 14 October before the diplomatic corps following AU-United Nations efforts on the ground. On that same occasion, an official announcement was made of their decision to accept deployment of a joint AU-ECOWAS stabilization mission, with a mandate for further peacebuilding and stability, as well as post-conflict reconstruction and development, in conformity with the Tripoli Plan of Action adopted by the African Union Assembly on 21 August 2009. Guinea-Bissau's Parliament accepted the African Union proposal aimed at passing legislation criminalizing the trafficking, possession, transfer and processing of drugs.”

  6. “The African Union, to strengthen its efforts to help bring an end to that chronic problem and restore constitutional normality, decided to open a permanent office in Guinea-Bissau, as a first step in the development of a joint stabilization mission of the AU and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), pursuant to the decision of the Assembly of the African Union at its special session held in August 2009 in Tripoli, Libya. 10-62182 We are pleased to note at this juncture that, despite all the difficulties it faces, Guinea-Bissau has shown encouraging signs regarding the implementation of the decisions and recommendations of the African Union and the international community. Those signs can be summarized as follows.”

  7. “Today, we gather to continue our efforts on the situation in Guinea-Bissau, a country that has been living in a cycle of political instability for decades, a result of the weakness of the State institutions and legal system, particularly the administration of criminal justice. We are grateful for the comprehensive briefing provided by the colleagues who preceded me. I will be very brief in discussing just a few points, from our point of view, concerning the situation on the ground. As a result of the absence of the effective rule of law and the spread of drug trafficking, corruption and poverty - which have been pervasive there for many years - Guinea-Bissau has experienced decades of instability.”

  8. “Mr. Isata: I would like, first of all, to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council and to express, on behalf of the African Union (AU), my sincere gratitude for the opportunity given us to join this important meeting on Guinea-Bissau. Personally, I am honoured to address the Council for the first time in my present capacity. We attach great significance to this engagement within the context of the growing partnership between the African Union and the Security Council, and with the United Nations as a whole. Once again, the Security Council is called on to assume the responsibility for which it was established: the maintenance of international peace and security.”
