  1. It is evident from all the statements we have heard that, from a broad perspective, the issue of illicit arms trafficking is new neither for the Security Council, nor for the United Nations in general. It will be recalled that the Council first considered this matter at a ministerial meeting held on 24 September 1999 at which it issued a presidential statement (S/PRST/1999/28). In 2001, the Council once again considered this topic to assess its role in the United Nations Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects of July 2001. That meeting also led to a presidential statement (S/PRST/2001/21). The representative of China correctly referred in his remarks to other meetings of the Council on this topic and others related to it.

  2. Louis Sylvain-Goma, Secretary General of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), and thank him for his rich contribution to this debate, in which, as members will have noted, he underscored the scale of this problem in Central Africa, the susceptibility of the subregion owing to its numerous areas of lawlessness, as well as the cooperation initiatives being carried out by ECCAS member States with a view to better combating trafficking. We further welcome the participation in this debate of representatives of other regional organizations, in particular the African Union and the European Union. Finally, I should like to thank various speakers for the kind words they expressed to the Gabonese delegation, and above all for their positive assessment of the topic and timeliness of this debate.

  12. It is important not to lose sight of the overall vision of an Afghanistan where a democratic Government fulfils all its essential roles, including the delivery of basic services, the provision of effective, transparent and accountable governance, the protection of its citizens, economic development and the protection and promotion of the human rights of all Afghans, including women's rights. The international community and the Government of Afghanistan must continue working together towards making this vision a reality. The President (spoke in French): I now give the floor to Mr. Peter Schwaiger, Charge d'affaires of the European Union delegation to the United Nations.

  13. Canada urges the United Nations system and the rest of the international community to follow through on the commitments from London to enhance donor coordination under UNAMA's lead and Afghan direction, to make international assistance more efficient and effective until the Government of Afghanistan is able to fully take on this role. It will also be important for the United Nations to work in close cooperation with the new NATO Senior Civilian Representative to ensure a synergy of mandates and efforts.

  14. Canada strongly supports the need for electoral reforms ahead of the September elections, but we note with concern reports that changes have recently been made to the electoral law that may decrease the independence of the Electoral Complaints Commission. Canada stresses the crucial importance of undertaking all reforms in a transparent manner, in consultation with civil society and Afghan citizens themselves. The international community also needs to live up to its London commitments to better coordinate its efforts with those of the United Nations and other international partners in support of the priorities of the Afghan Government.

  15. In addition, because increasing violence has also targeted women and girls - especially those in the public sphere i it is essential that women's participation be a central feature of the upcoming peace jirga and Kabul conference as Afghans work together to build consensus on building peace. The Kabul conference will be an important opportunity for the Afghan Government to present progress and for the international community to lend its voice of support to positive outcomes. Canada is looking to the Afghan Government to demonstrate progress in several areas prior to the conference. In particular, the London Conference included extensive commitments on electoral reform.

  16. There are many challenges, not least of which is the increased rate of violence caused by insurgents still fighting efforts to establish a stable and prosperous Afghanistan. Canada welcomes President Karzai's emphasis on reconciliation and high-level efforts to achieve an inclusive Government. Reconciliation and reintegration will play an important complementary role to stabilization and development. Canada welcomes the holding of an Afghan peace jirga and hopes that it will provide an opportunity for substantive exchange and consultation between different Afghan communities and civil society on reconciliation.

  17. It emphasized to the Afghan public, as well as to the domestic audiences of countries engaged in the reconstruction effort, that the Government of Afghanistan intends to strengthen Afghan leadership in delivering security and support to the well-being of Afghans. However, the challenge is now for us all to follow up on the commitments of the London Conference. Canada recognizes that the Afghan authorities are progressing along the difficult road of transition in assuming increased responsibility for security. That will require Afghanistan and its international community partners, including UNAMA and NATO, to work closely together to implement a well-coordinated transition strategy that is based on a careful assessment of conditions on the ground and that provides the Government with the capacity to protect its civilians.

  18. It should provide UNAMA with the direction it needs to continue to play a preponderant role in the coordination of the international effort with regard to Afghan elections. The mandate should also reflect the transition-oriented spirit of the London Conference and authorize the Mission to play fully its political role and its role with regard to coordination of international aid. Furthermore, UNAMA's human resources also need to be strengthened as a matter of urgency, as its staff numbers and ability to fulfil its core tasks have been severely affected in recent months. (spoke in English) The London Conference heralded the hope for a new transition phase for Afghanistan.

  19. De Mistura, play a central role as we move toward our common goals. Mr. De Mistoura has one of the most challenging posts in the United Nations. He can count on Canada's full support. In the past three months many Afghans and members of the international community have lost their lives or been injured. These sacrifices weigh heavily on all of us. Canada, which grieves its own losses, shares the pain of all those who have lost loved ones. Canada looks to the Security Council to renew the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) so that it remains robust and enables the Mission to continue its work on a whole gamut of essential issues. Canada believes that the new mandate should take into account the development of the situation in Afghanistan.

  20. McNee (Canada) (spoke in French) At the outset, I would like to convey my gratitude to Under- Secretary-General Le Roy for his very useful presentation this morning. As the Secretary-General stresses in his latest report (S/2010/ 127), the coming months in Afghanistan will be crucial with regard to the transition to a greater Afghan leadership. There has already been considerable progress in that direction during the last three months, with a London conference that was very fruitful and the deployment of much-needed additional forces, especially in the south of Afghanistan. It is now important for the Government of Afghanistan and the international community to live up to their London commitments. It is essential that the United Nations and the new Special Representative of the Secretary- General, Mr.

  21. That is why we support the extension of UNAMA's mandate for a further 12 months. The next conference, which will be held in Kabul in a few months, will afford the Afghan Government and people a new opportunity to reaffirm their determination to build the future of their country themselves. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. Given that the Council has scheduled consultations at 3 p.m., I ask the members of the Council that we complete this meeting, with the hope that it will end by 3 o'clock at the latest. I request all speakers to limit their statements to five minutes to ensure that the Council can end its meeting on time. I invite the representative of Canada to take the floor. Mr.

  22. I would like to renew our full support for United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for the central role it plays, not only in the coordination of international civilian actions in Afghanistan, but also, more comprehensively, in the process of developing the country. We reiterate our solidarity with the men and women who, within the framework of this Mission, are working in the field, especially given the constant threats to their security. Gabon also welcomes the efforts by other players in Afghanistan: the European Union, NATO and the United States of America. The future of Afghanistan is being built today, despite the many challenges that continue to threaten the country's political and economic stability. It is thus in our interest to renew our commitment to a peaceful, stable and prosperous Afghanistan.

  23. The priorities identified at the Conference were endorsed by the international community and mark a new phase in the process of transferring to Afghan authorities the full management of their country's affairs in the fields of security, good governance and economic and social development. Gabon supports that approach and the commitment of the Afghan authorities to implementing the priorities contained in the plan of action adopted at the London Conference. During this decisive phase, the efforts of the international community aimed at constructing this country, must be continued and strengthened.

  24. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Gabon. In turn, I would like to thank Mr. Alain Le Roy for his briefing, which was very informative regarding the latest developments on the situation in Afghanistan. My gratitude goes, of course, to Ambassador Tanin for his statement, which, among other things, reflected the Afghan authorities' determination to abide by their commitments in the context of the reconstruction process in their country. Since 6 January, when the Security Council last debated the situation in Afghanistan (see S/PV.6255), one significant development in the Afghan situation was the organization in London, on 28 January, of the International Conference on Afghanistan at the initiative of the British and Afghan Governments and the Secretary-General.

With respect to UNMIT's technical assessment mission, Gabon welcomes its positive conclusions, particularly its satisfaction with respect to the objectives assigned to UNMIT in the four mandated priority areas: review and reform of the security sector; strengthening of the rule of law; promotion of a culture of democratic governance and dialogue; and economic and social development. However, Gabon believes that the achievements that we have seen thus far in the area of security and development must be strongly supported by the international community so that they can be maintained. We support the renewal of UNMIT's mandate for 12 months, as recommended by the Secretary-General.

In that regard, Gabon supports UNMIT's initiative to strengthen the capacities of the Policia Nacional de Timor-Leste to better provide security for property and people once UNMIT and the international forces have withdrawn.

  49. Recent developments in the situation in Timor- Leste, as we have just heard, bring to mind some observations on the political process, the state of security and the activities of the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT). At the political level, Gabon welcomes the effective contribution of the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste, particularly with respect to the restoration of the rule of law, the reaffirmation of political consensus, and Timorese ownership of the organization and conduct of the various elections. Gabon calls on the international community to help to consolidate all of those efforts and encourages the Government to persevere in maintaining political stability.
