  1. “In order to coordinate and to give greater focus to ARF counter-terrorism efforts, an Inter-Sessional Meeting on Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crime was held for the first time in Karambunai, Malaysia, on 21 and 22 March 2003. The meeting adopted the statement on ARF cooperative counter- terrorist actions on border security, which outlines various concrete and cooperative measures to strengthen security at their borders. The statement was adopted by the tenth ARF ministerial meeting in Phnom Penh on 18 June 2003. The ARF remains fully committed to strengthening counter-terrorism cooperation among ARF participants.”

  2. “In recognition of the necessity of developing further measures for effective crossborder cooperation against transnational organized crime and terrorism, a meeting of Attorneys General of interested regional countries was held in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, from 30 June to 2 July 2003, to discuss means of enhancing cooperation in dealing with such criminal matters. In addition to the regional initiatives just mentioned, the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) continues to play a key role in enhancing counter- terrorism among the ARF participants, as reflected in the discussions at the official level and in the series of counter-terrorism workshops conducted under its auspices.”

  3. “Also, the fifth meeting of the ASEAN law ministers, held in Bangkok in June 2002, underlined the importance of enhancing linkages with, and supporting, the ASEAN ministerial meeting on transnational crime in preventing and combating transnational crime. The next ASEAN ministerial meeting on transnational crime will be held in Bangkok from 10 to 14 January 2004. Furthermore, ASEAN member States look forward to enhancing their capacity to fight terrorism and therefore underscore the importance of implementing the undertakings and commitments outlined in the ASEAN-United States joint declaration of 1 August 2002, the ASEAN-China joint declaration of 4 November 2002 and the ASEAN-European Union joint declaration issued on 28 January 2003.”

  6. “We emphasize the need to address the root causes of terrorism, and we reject any attempt to associate terrorism with any religion, race, nationality or ethnic group. That stance was reiterated during the ministerial meeting in Phnom Penh on 16 and 17 June 2003. During that meeting, ASEAN Foreign Ministers expressed their satisfaction with current counter-terrorism measures and reviewed the intensified cooperation that exists between member States, which has facilitated the arrest of persons engaged in terrorist activities and helped to prevent the occurrence of terrorist acts.”

  7. “We take note of the Committee's eighth ninety- day work programme, which will run from 1 July to 30 September 2003. It is our belief that it will continue to enhance the effectiveness of our counter-terrorism measures. In that connection, ASEAN supports measures intended to enhance the counter-terrorism capability of States requesting aid. We also reiterate the importance of cooperation and coordination among United Nations Member States in the area of capacity building vis-a- vis States needing assistance, including States in the South-East Asian region. Allow me to provide an update on ASEAN's continuing efforts to combat international terrorism since April 2003. ASEAN continues to condemn terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.”

  8. “I have the honour to speak on behalf of the members of the Association of South- East Asian Nations (ASEAN), namely, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam. Let me take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for the convening of this open meeting of the Security Council to review the work of the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) in the last three months. We would also like to pay tribute to Ambassador Inocencio Arias, who has demonstrated effective leadership in steering the CTC, as well as to thank the Vice-Chairmen, the members of the Committee and all the experts involved for their dedication and hard work.”

  9. “Further, it encourages the continued strengthening of the process of the peaceful settlement of disputes and efforts to make it more effective. While the support of the international community is vital in the situation unfolding in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, what is even more important is the determination of the Congolese to overcome the obstacles to peace that have haunted their country for so many long years and have denied them the opportunity to turn the vast resources of their land towards development. The challenge before them is to demonstrate a genuine thirst for peace in their country, for there can be no commencing the building of development without the foundation of peace.”

  10. “Despite all the difficulties it has encountered, MONUC has been instrumental in the progress that has been made thus far by the United Nations in the search for peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Mission is a demonstration of the potential of the United Nations in the search for international peace, a potential and a tool that the international community must continue to nurture and treasure. My delegation is gratified at the provisions of General Assembly resolution 57/337, on the prevention of armed conflict, which recognizes the important role that the United Nations should continue to play in the prevention of armed conflict by promoting conflict resolution and dispute settlement.”

  11. “It is obvious that a part of the reason why there have continued to be such persistent violence and violations of human rights and of international humanitarian law is that there is no dissuasion of any sort with regard to the actions of armed parties. That is a legal, philosophical and practical loophole that must not continue to exist. It is critical that anyone intent on committing human rights crimes recognize that there will be serious consequences for such crimes. I cannot conclude these remarks without paying due tribute to the United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) as an institution and to the men and women who make it work.”

  12. “The concept of an inter-Congolese dialogue has always been important in the search for peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Transitional Government - in itself an exercise of the political expression of the entire nation - is truly positioned to organize the proper forum for such a dialogue. Similarly, in view of the issues that have arisen in the course of this conflict, we share the View that the Security Council should establish a National Observatory for Human Rights and a National Truth and Reconciliation Commission without delay. Beyond the pursuit ofjustice, there is an equally critical reason why the work of those bodies is indispensable, and that is the vexing question of impunity.”

  13. “The picture of an area where violence and impunity reign and where security of life and of property is at a minimum cannot be reconciled with the conditions necessary for development. It is in that connection that we return to the political structures now being set up in the country. The Transitional Government holds the key to the resolution of the crisis; in its hands rests the ability to reconcile this divided country and to return peace to the people. Given the fair distribution of posts to relevant parties in the traditional administration, there may now be full and representative national participation in the political process, leading to free and fair elections.”

  14. “In that connection, my delegation would like to highlight the involvement of an Indonesian contingent in the peace process, not only as a demonstration of the commitment of my Government to peace in the country, but also as a symbol of Indonesia's continued faith in United Nations peacekeeping and of its constitutional commitment to international peace. I now turn to the question of violence and human rights violations. The situation in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo - where both violence and allegations of violations of human rights and of international humanitarian law have become routine - has been of tremendous concern to the international community for several years.”

  15. “In principle, there is no doubt that such a visit offers a tremendous opportunity for the members of the Council to gain a deeper understanding of the issues and the players, thereby contributing to the formulation of the best possible conflict-resolution strategies. Domestically, it comes as a great relief to learn that the Transitional Government announced by President Joseph Kabila on 30 June 2003 has become a reality with the swearing-in of the Vice-Presidents. The new Government is a viable basis for unifying the country and for bringing into the centre all parties and elements relevant to the search for peace. In addition, it is the hope of Indonesia that, with the agreement on the distribution of military command posts, the final obstacle in the path of the Transitional Government has been eliminated.”

  16. “As this is the first time that I have taken the floor before the Security Council since I took office in the Permanent Mission of Indonesia this month, please permit me to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for July. We look forward to working with you for the rest of the month, and we wish you every success. I should also like to thank Special Representative Amos Ngongi and European Union High Representative Javier Solana for their briefings. My delegation is pleased to align itself with the Security Council's commitment to peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This meeting comes against the backdrop of the recent visit of the Council to that country in the continued quest for peace in the area - a tour that, I am happy to say, is in accord with the wishes of my delegation.”
