“It is a great pleasure for Indonesia, as Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 918 (1994), concerning Rwanda, to welcome the adoption of resolution 1749 (2007). The adoption of that resolution is a follow-up to the Committee's recommendation on the need to terminate the measures imposed by paragraph 11 of resolution 1011 (1995), which required that States that export arms or related materiel destined for use by the Government of Rwanda notify the Committee of such shipments. It also reflects the acknowledgement of the Council of the positive developments in Rwanda and the Great Lakes region. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the members of the Council and their experts for their constructive contributions.”

“It is our conviction that, in the end, the only guarantee for eliminating the fear caused by the possible use or threat of use of WMD is their total elimination, because that is the only sure way of preventing non-State actors from acquiring them. We therefore reiterate our call on all States to work towards that fundamental goal.”

“Bilaterally, Indonesia and the OPCW have undertaken a series of training exercises on our emergency response system in the event of the intentional or accidental release of dangerous chemical agents. In addition, Indonesia continues to cooperate with the IAEA in the field of nuclear safety and security safeguards. In the absence of an international verification regime for the BWC, Indonesia and Australia have conducted annual regional workshops, with a view to strengthen regional cooperation and an exchange of best practices in implementing the provisions of BWC. Finally, as we pursue the non-proliferation initiative, we should not lose sight of the question of disarmament.”

“It is regrettable, however, that in the area of the control of dangerous biological agents we do not have similar organizations, since there is not yet agreement on a verification regime for the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC). For our part, in implementing obligations under resolution 1540 (2004), Indonesia continues to strengthen its national implementation measures, including its national legislation and enhanced cooperation, both bilateral and multilateral. We are also working closely with international organizations such as the IAEA and the OPCW. Together with the OPCW, Indonesia last year held meetings of national authorities in Asia.”

“In that regard, the Security Council and the Committee should optimize the comparative advantages of specialized international organizations. That partnership should strengthen practical cooperation, avoid duplication, promote cost effectiveness, strengthen synergy of efforts and increase the effective use of resources and expertise. In the areas of nuclear weapons, chemical weapons and their related materials, the Committee should continue its cooperation with the secretariats of the IAEA and the OPCW. Both organizations have, within their respective fields and mandates, programmes for State capacity-building that are directly relevant to resolution 1540 (2004). For instance, they maintain records of the status of the national implementation measures of States parties to their respective regimes.”

“It will require continuous efforts, patience, dialogue, cooperation and assistance. As a result, it is our belief that sustained international cooperation is essential to achieve the objectives and purposes of resolution 1540 (2004). The Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), which is tasked with ensuring the implementation of the resolution, is well placed to mobilize and coordinate an effective non-proliferation effort by garnering the support and assistance of various specialized international organizations in the execution of its mandate. While there are currently no substantive partnerships between those organizations and the Committee, this possibility could be explored in the future.”

“It is therefore timely for the Committee to focus more on the implementation phase. Cooperation between the Council and its Committee with specialized international organizations should be framed within the context of assisting States to build their capacity to implement their obligations in a sustainable manner. The problems associated with implementation lie at the national level. In most cases, those problems derive from technical difficulties faced by Member States. The Committee should therefore focus on programmes that enhance the national capabilities of such countries, in collaboration with existing international organizations in the field of the prohibition of WMD. The full implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) is a long-term objective and an ongoing process.”

“For the majority of States, a certain degree of technical and legal expertise is also required, as is capacity in general. With reference to that point, it must also be borne in mind that a State's capacity to meet its obligations is not just a matter of overall State capability, but also one of national priority. For almost three years, the focus of the Committee has mainly been on encouraging the reporting requirement. While noting that reporting is indeed important, as it provides a baseline for analysis, it is not the objective of the resolution. The key point is the implementation of the provisions of the resolution. For developing countries with limited resources and many other equally pressing priorities, the increasing burden of reporting in its various forms can be overwhelming.”

“We are reminded that, during the process of the adoption of resolution 1540 (2004), concerns were expressed that the Security Council had taken on a legislative role through which it dictated domestic law to Member States and enforced non-proliferation obligations outside the traditional multilateral negotiating process. We must therefore work towards establishing a multilaterally negotiated international legal instrument that will permanently address the gap being temporarily filled by the resolution. One of the key challenges before us pertains to the ability of Member States to fulfil the central provisions of the resolution, for which national legislation may need to be enacted and enforcement measures put in place.”

“The adoption of resolution 1540 (2004) took place against the backdrop of the fact that previous WMD treaty regimes lacked universality and had been designed to deal only with State entities. They were therefore seen by some as ineffective in tackling the challenge posed by non-State actors. The mission of resolution 1540 (2004) was therefore to address that gap. As reflected its paragraphs 5 and 8, resolution 1540 (2004) was intended only to complement and reinforce, rather than replace or subvert, multilaterally negotiated treaties.”

“At the outset, on behalf of my delegation, I would like to extend our appreciation to you, Mr. President, for convening this open debate. My delegation also appreciates the presence of Mr. Tanaka, Under-Secretary-General for Disarmament Affairs, as well as that of the high-level representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the World Customs Organization. It is a fact the threat of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their means of delivery is very real. That threat is magnified by the fact that WMD could fall into the hands of non-State actors, including terrorist groups. The continued existence of such weapons could contribute to the illicit acquisition of, and trafficking in, WMD.”

“As regards the role of the Security Council in supporting SSR activities in a post-conflict environment, we believe that the Council could propose, through its mission mandates, the parameters for security sector reform in post-conflict countries, particularly in the transition from an initial peacekeeping activity to post-conflict peacebuilding programmes. In order to develop viable SSR structures, the Council should consult with relevant organs within the United Nations system, including the Economic and Social Council and the General Assembly, and should take into account the concerns of the countries involved. Finally, my delegation wishes to reaffirm its commitment to participating in an active and constructive manner in future discussions of the subject.”

“Security sector reform is a long-term process and requires steadiness and unflagging commitment from the country concerned. Rushing SSR has the potential to ruin a country's institutional foundation and to uproot its indigenous components. There is no universal blueprint for SSR, and its implementation depends on the basic needs of national political processes and dynamics. There is therefore no quick- fix solution for post-conflict security sector reform. Accordingly, my delegation emphasizes the need for a balanced realization of all aspects of security sector reform, including institutional capacity, the affordability and sustainability of programmes, sequencing, timing and flexibility.”
2007-02-20 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5632 (2007) · source
“My delegation believes that SSR should be nationally owned and rooted in the particular needs and conditions of the country concerned. It is a national project that requires leadership on the Government's part and participatory contributions from civil society. For post-conflict countries, security sector reform often requires substantial resources. We believe that financial and technical assistance from the international community would be meaningful for such countries in helping them to cope with resource challenges and in building national capacities that could strengthen national ownership of SSR. Diversity in security sector reform should be respected. In our view, there is no single type of SSR that can fit all situations. That should not, however, prevent us from generating lessons learned and best practices.”
2007-02-20 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5632 (2007) · source
“The demand for coherence and coordination in supporting SSR activities in post-conflict situations warrants managerial and institutional reform at Headquarters as well as at the field level. Agencies within the United Nations system that have SSR support programmes should collaborate more closely and coherently. My delegation also underlines the central role that the Peacebuilding Commission can play in enhancing the United Nations capacity to support security sector reform and the effectiveness of the United Nations mission in strengthening such reform as part of peacebuilding efforts. We welcome the intention of the Peacebuilding Commission to consider the SSR aspect of peacebuilding strategies in Burundi and Sierra Leone.”

“Yet the crisis did not stop Indonesians from pursuing transformation in the political, economic, legal, and governmental landscapes. They embraced democracy - in fact, Indonesians regarded that democratic transition as a means of salvation and of recovery from the crisis. Based on its experiences, Indonesia holds the View that reform in the security sector will be meaningful if national ownership is present and if the participation of various stakeholders is ensured. Reform in one sector will lay the foundation for reform in other sectors. Security sector reform should be pursued in a manner which is neither too hasty nor too drawn out. As far as the United Nations approach to the subject is concerned, we underline that such an approach should be confined to post-conflict contexts.”

“My delegation recognizes that reform of the security sector at the country level can take place at any point in the development of a country, but the urgency of SSR is generally strong and its manifestation particularly noticeable when the country in question is experiencing a transformation, including democratic transition, or when it is emerging from a conflict situation. In both contexts, reform in the security sector is interlinked with reform in other sectors. When crafted carefully and implemented consistently, and when the participation of civil society is ensured, reforms in different sectors will be mutually reinforcing. Some seven years ago, Indonesians were facing the challenges and multidimensional problems resulting from the Asian financial crisis.”

“At the outset, Mr. President, I would like, on behalf of my delegation, to extend our appreciation to you and your delegation for having convened this open debate on the role of the Security Council in supporting security sector reform. Security sector reform (SSR) remains a contentious and complex subject. This forum is therefore beneficial in that it gives us an opportunity to have an exchange of ideas and experiences on the subject in a complementary manner, with a View to obtaining a better picture of the subject and of the role of the United Nations in general, and the Security Council in particular, in that regard.”

“The United Nations must address the problem of Myanmar, and so must the regional organization to which both Myanmar and Indonesia belong. This is best done through cooperation. The United Nations and regional organizations can work together to address the situation in Myanmar in accordance with the United Nations Charter. Hence Indonesia supports the good offices of the Secretary-General on Myanmar and welcomes the recent Visit of Professor Ibrahim Gambari to the country in the light of those good offices. In our view, the visits have injected new vigour into the efforts of the United Nations to assist Myanmar in its democratic transition. On our part, we will do everything in our power to work within the framework of cooperation between the United Nations and ASEAN to help bring about positive change in Myanmar.”

“As a member of ASEAN, as a neighbouring country and as member of this Council, Indonesia must now recognize that the issue of Myanmar is no longer 07-20880 just a bilateral or a regional issue but an international one. It is not a question of solidarity or lack thereof. It is a question of principle. Myanmar must respond to the imperative of restoring democracy and respect for human rights. That is a matter of principle. It is not a matter of winning or losing in the voting on the Council. And it is a matter of principle that we consider whether a resolution by the Security Council will be effective in addressing the problem, or whether this Council is the appropriate body to address the problem of Myanmar. That does not mean that we cannot act.”

“Indonesia, as a member of ASEAN and on a bilateral basis, has done its best to persuade Myanmar to show concrete and tangible progress towards restoring democracy and human rights. In the context of ASEAN, we have engaged Myanmar on this issue, not on a "you-and-I" basis, but on the basis of "us", as a regional organization in the process of transforming itself into a security community, bound together by shared values, including, and especially, the values of democracy and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. We have tried to help Myanmar within the context of the ASEAN family. We have persevered in engaging Myanmar and in encouraging it to restore democracy and demonstrate its respect for human rights, for if there were progress on the ground, we could be of greater help to Myanmar. But that is not the case.”

“No doubt it is directed at very important goals, namely, the restoration of democratic institutions and practices in Myanmar, the achievement of justice for the victims of human rights violations and the attainment of national reconciliation so that Myanmar can move forward as a member of the world community in good standing. Indonesia and all its fellow members of Myanmar in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) share these goals. But we must pause to think whether the proposed draft resolution would help to achieve that goal. There have been Security Council resolutions that did not achieve their objectives. Before adopting this draft resolution, let us be sure that it is going to be effective.”

“Hence, even if Myanmar is culpable of all these charges, that does not make the situation in that country a proper subject of a United Nations Security Council resolution, especially when compared to situations elsewhere. For there is no denying that there are situations in various other places that are much worse, where so many more people are dying through the direct use of armed force and therefore a much greater threat to world security. These situations should be given higher priority here in this Council. There are other bodies in the United Nations, such as the Human Rights Council, that are more appropriate venues for addressing the problem of Myanmar. The other basic question is whether the proposed draft resolution is likely to be effective in achieving its goal.”

“We have before us a draft resolution on the situation in Myanmar, and we are called on to make a decision as to whether or not to adopt this text, which addresses vitally important issues but raises several basic questions. The first question is one of both substance and procedure - the draft resolution touches on issues such as democratic transition, promotion and protection of human rights, and on social issues such as HIV/AIDS and trafficking in narcotics and people. However, these issues do not make Myanmar a threat to international peace and security. They inflict suffering on the people of Myanmar and create problems for its immediate neighbours, but they do not make the situation in Myanmar a clear and present danger to the rest of the world.”

“In order to address future challenges, the Security Council reform process should be sustained. Aspects of the Council's membership, as well as its working methods, are in need of substantive revision. Both are equally important. We view the comprehensive reform of the Security Council as an integral feature of the overall reform process of the United Nations. In conclusion, we support the draft presidential statement prepared by your delegation, Sir, and look forward to its adoption. I also wish to reiterate the commitment of my delegation to the successful work of the Council under your presidency.”

“We cannot go it alone. The Council cannot stand on its own in fulfilling its responsibility. Conceptually, peace may require a master architect, but in execution it needs the labour of many. While it is obvious that the Council has the primary responsibility in the maintenance of international peace and security, we need to recognize the contribution of the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council to enhancing the role of the United Nations in the promotion of peace. In the spirit of Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter, robust partnership with regional organizations should be strengthened. In spite of known limitations, the value of those evolving partnerships is clearly demonstrated in various regions where the Security Council has enlisted the support of regional organizations to help resolve some disputes.”

“We believe that, in the end, the absolute guarantee for eliminating the fear caused by the possible use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is the total elimination of those weapons. Democracy is a universal value, and history proves that it serves as a pivotal foundation for the creation of peaceful societies based on human dignity. In the United Nations forum, we are of the View that there are organs warranted primarily to address democracy and other related issues, including human rights. Their work is notable. Considering the level of complexity and the magnitude of the challenges that humankind is dealing with in the present day, partnership is the key word that guides us in responding to those challenges. My delegation concurs with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the significance of collective wisdom and collective efforts.”

“My delegation also sees the urgent need for a dialogue to address the proliferation of nuclear weapons in Asia. Although the threat of nuclear weapons has subsided in other regions, a new nuclear theatre may be developing throughout West and East Asia. It is therefore important that we find a diplomatic solution to the nuclear issues of North Korea and Iran. We also attach great significance to the speedy establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East, a region characterized by instability and tension. The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, as the cornerstone of disarmament, should be strengthened. There should be a balanced undertaking among the three pillars of the Treaty.”

“We think that those manoeuvres are indeed against the spirit of the agreement between the Israeli Prime Minister and the President of the Palestinian Authority. The Security Council should respond to that development, as is consistent with its mandate and responsibility. As a victim of terrorist attacks, and bearing in mind the enduring presence of the terrorist threat, my delegation is convinced that the Council should remain vigilant and act in accordance with the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and international law. Our cause and practice in combating terrorism should be based on respect for human rights and human dignity. Indonesia holds the view that the problem of terrorism is best addressed through a holistic approach.”

“The situation there will remain grim and protracted if the Israel-Palestine conflict is not resolved in a just and peaceful way. My delegation holds the view that the Israel-Palestine conflict is at the core of all problems in the region, and therefore believes that the Council should give high priority to resolving the conflict. Settling the Israel-Palestine conflict in a way acceptable to all parties will have a profound impact on the prospects for peace in the region. Reports of the recent decision of the Israeli Government to approve the building of a new settlement in the occupied West Bank, which is in contradiction to its commitment under the Road Map, and the continuing incursions and raids by the Israeli Defense Force into several West Bank cities and towns in the last few days are of deep concern to my delegation.”

“In addressing conflicts, my delegation reaffirms the need for respect for the principles of the sovereign equality, national sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of all States, as well as the principles pertaining to refraining from the threat or use of force. The principles of the peaceful settlement of disputes, inclusive dialogue, constructive collaboration and preventive diplomacy should be kept as a priority in addressing threats to international peace and security. Therefore, in the View of my delegation, sanctions should be used as a last resort - with a clear, transparent and measurable timetable - and should provide an escape route to allow for reinstating peaceful settlement procedures. In the Middle East, peace remains far from a reality.”

“Peacekeeping alone, however, is not sufficient if our goal is to achieve sustainable peace. In my delegation's view, post-conflict peacebuilding is vital in helping war-torn societies make the transition to durable peace. In that regard, the role of the Peacebuilding Commission is of paramount importance. We look forward to its further constructive contribution to peace consolidation efforts. The end of conflict in certain countries in Africa and other regions does not close the chapter on the book of war on that continent. On the contrary, we have witnessed the emergence of new complexities in current conflicts. For example, the presence of cross- border flows of combatants and civilians has impeded existing peace efforts and exacerbated humanitarian conditions in those regions.”

“We take comfort in witnessing the cessation of some conflicts and the transformation of conflict-affected countries into ones that are steadily rebuilding and reconstructing. The role and contribution of the United Nations and the international community in that graduation are exceptional, and the Security Council has been determined and decisive in that regard. The experience in all those conflicts reaffirms the critical importance of peacekeeping operations in the fulfilment of the Council's primary responsibility in saving humankind from the scourge of war. We believe that the continuing importance of peacekeeping missions should be duly recognized. We also see a need to continue to ensure strict observance of the fundamental principles of peacekeeping.”

“This will be one contribution to further understanding among civilizations. Finally, I would like to stress again the conviction of Indonesia that terrorism is the problem of many nations and that we can best fight and vanquish this menace through multidimensional and multilateral approaches, which should be based on international cooperation and collaboration and on a spirit of dialogue among all States, civilizations and religions. Indonesia is one such party, and, as we have in the past, we stand ready to take the necessary measures and to work with other States and organizations to ensure that terrorism is defeated once and forever.”

“It is hoped that this meeting will be able to impart added momentum to the already vigorous efforts to counter terrorism in that region by focusing on practical and operational goals, identifying new ways of enhancing cooperation and encouraging more effective collaboration among the region's law enforcement and intelligence agencies. The second initiative supported by the Government of Indonesia is that of a non-governmental organization, Nahdlatul Ulama, one of the biggest Muslim organizations in Indonesia, which in February will hold an international conference of Islamic scholars in Jakarta to deliberate on better ways of presenting and projecting to the outside world the image of Islam as rahmatan lil alamin, or "blessing to the whole world", rather than as it is being portrayed now by certain quarters.”

We hope that this will further strengthen the basic principles of international cooperation and transparency and the spirit of dialogue, which are essential prerequisites to effectively combating terrorism. As part of those efforts, I am pleased to inform the Council of an initiative of the Government of Indonesia, in cooperation with the Government of Australia, to hold the Asia-Pacific Regional Ministerial Meeting on Countering Terrorism from 4 to 5 February 2004 in Bali, Indonesia. Its theme will be "Strengthening coordination and cooperation in combating terrorism in the Asia-Pacific region".”

“While further legal measures are being pursued for those involved in terrorist activities, my delegation is pleased that, on 10 December 2003, Indonesia submitted its national report in compliance with resolution 1455 (2003). That report was formulated in accordance with the guidelines established by the Committee and I am confident that it demonstrates the readiness of my delegation to cooperate further and fully with the Committee. In the preparation of the report, I should acknowledge the useful visit by you, Sir, as Chairman of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999), to Indonesia in October last year Permit me now to turn to the recommendations in the Chairman's assessment pursuant to paragraph 14 of resolution 1455 (2003).”

“We have learned that international cooperation between the Indonesian police and police forces from other countries in the Bali bombing was able not only to result in the arrest of more than 44 persons, but also to further uncover the network and lead to the arrest of other key terrorist figures who, apparently, have been involved in many other acts of terrorism, particularly bombings in Indonesia, over the past five years. Such an investigative process therefore underlines the importance of strengthening international cooperation. Its success will be limited only if not accompanied by the next crucial steps, including the legal process and bringing the terrorists to justice. It is in pursuing this approach that Indonesia has been able to consolidate the democratization processes that began in 1998.”

“Considering that the networks and activities of terrorists go beyond national boundaries, Indonesia has been cooperating with the Association of South-East Asian Nations, as well as with other countries and groups of States, including Australia, Japan, the United States and the European Union. Further success in dealing with terrorism will require, as my delegation has already indicated, sustained international efforts, along with increased cooperation on a global scale, information-sharing and coordination. Such a strategy will also require that all countries willing to participate have the financial and technical means to do so.”

“We know very well the pain, suffering and devastating impact that such terrorist acts have brought upon societies. As a result, Indonesia has begun to enforce various measures to mitigate that menace nationally, bilaterally, regionally and internationally. At the national level, a series of decisions and steps have been taken not only to uncover the perpetrators of terrorism, but also successfully to prosecute them. Those measures, which have enhanced the awareness of our people of the consequences of such attacks, are carried out strictly within the framework of law, democratic processes and non- discriminatory norms and have thereby gained the confidence of the public.”

“It is to the United Nations that Member States must turn to ensure that instruments to eradicate this menace are multidimensional in nature, involving political, legal, economic, financial, military and security approaches. Indonesia believes that, in the absence of such multi-track approaches, solutions can only be short-term and limited in nature. It is inevitable that these approaches will be successful only if carried out through multilateralism, which involves dialogue among civilizations and religions. Without such approaches, efforts to effectively deal with this evil will only fall short of their fundamental objectives. Long before the terrorist attacks in September 2001, we ourselves were the unfortunate victims of acts of terrorism.”

Before I go further, tribute is due to the Chairman of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999), as well as to its members and the experts involved, for their dedication and hard work. The Government of Indonesia has consistently been of the view that we need global cooperation, with the United Nations at its centre, and the involvement of all civilizations and religions to effectively combat international terrorism.”

In addition, individual ASEAN members are engaged in various initiatives related to combating international terrorism, such as the Agreement on Information Exchange and Establishment of Communication Procedures, originally signed by Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines on 7 May 2002.
