  1. “Six years ago, the people of Rwanda suffered a tragedy that left a mark on its history: the massacre of 800,000 people. The international community, and in particular the United Nations, did not prevent that genocide and did not react in time to bring it to a halt. The report of the Independent Inquiry sheds light on this dark period of Rwanda's history and on the international community's failings during the tragedy. The report will inevitably enhance awareness and will be the basis of in- depth reflection on how to predict and prevent tragedies of this kind. The Independent Inquiry has set out a series of conclusions and recommendations that deserve the full attention of States Members of the United Nations, of the Security Council and of the Secretariat.”

  2. “Mr. Jerandi (Tunisia) (spoke in French): I too wish to thank you, Mr. President, and the entire delegation of Canada for having organized this open briefing. I wish at the same time to thank Mr. Ingvar Carlsson for his useful statement on the report of the Independent Inquiry into the actions of the United Nations during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. I commend the members of the Inquiry for their work, which led to a report of great importance and historic value. We should like to pay tribute to the Secretary-General for his praiseworthy initiative to task the Inquiry with establishing the facts about the behaviour of the Organization with respect to the genocide in Rwanda so that the entire international community, the United Nations and Member States might draw the lessons needed to prevent such tragedies in the future.”

  3. “Mr. Jerandi (Tunisia) (spoke in Arabic): Allow me once again to express our sincere thanks to you personally, Sir, the Foreign Minister of Canada, and to all the members of the Security Council, for the condolences that they have expressed to the Government and the people of Tunisia on the passing of Habib Bourguiba, the first President of our Republic.”

  4. “Mr. Tekaya (Tunisia) (spoke in French): I thank you, Mr. President, and the other members of the Security Council for your expression of sympathy with the Government and the people of Tunisia in connection with the death of our leader, President Habib Bourguiba, the father of independent Tunisia. History will never forget the great work he accomplished in Tunisia or that he was a fervent advocate of just causes, supporting independence movements in Africa and throughout the world. He was among the founders of the Organization of African Unity and of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries. He was a great believer in a culture of peace, tolerance and the peaceful settlement of disputes. May God have mercy upon him. Expression of thanks to the retiring President”

  5. “In our opinion, focusing on development in Sierra Leone not only will contribute to the successful implementation of the demobilization and reintegration programme for former combatants, but will also help to resettle refugees and displaced persons in their country and to steel Sierra Leoneans against any temptation to rally behind the forces of destruction. Since there is no need for further proof of the link between peace and development, particularly with regard to internal conflicts, it seems to us appropriate for the Security Council to envisage including a reference to this question in its resolutions and statements dealing with this type of conflict. I also wish to thank the Ambassador of the United Kingdom for the first-hand information he gave us concerning his recent trip to the country.”

  6. “Alpha Oumar Konare, current Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States - efforts which attest to the importance that western Africa, and Africa in general, attaches to the situation in Sierra Leone. My delegation believes that the question of development, including the right of the people of Sierra Leone to development, should be one of the priorities of the Sierra Leone peace process in view of the close link between development and lasting peace, as was stated so eloquently by the Secretary-General in his report on the causes of conflict and the promotion of lasting peace and sustainable development in Africa.”

  7. “The following steps seem to us to be most urgent in this regard: the rapid establishment of an effective peacekeeping force throughout the territory; the provision to peacekeeping troops of the necessary equipment to permit them to carry out their mandate properly and command the necessary credibility; strict respect for the rules of engagement by UNAMSIL troops; the speeding up of the deployment in the field of the police officers provided for in resolution 1289 (2000), and, as necessary, an increase in their personnel in the light of the needs perceived in this area; an increase in financial assistance to Sierra Leone; and, lastly, support by the Security Council for the efforts deployed by the President of Mali, Mr.”

  8. “My delegation in this regard would like to underscore the +pertinent nature of the steps suggested by the Secretary-General in part VII of his report, which are aimed at creating a climate of confidence and the necessary conditions for the implementation of the various aspects of the peace process. The proposals by the Secretary-General deserve our full support, and we should all do our utmost to see them put into effect.”

  9. “In this regard, we deem it necessary for the Security Council to continue to exert pressure on the recalcitrant parties and to indicate, as firmly and forcefully as possible, its commitment to securing a return to peace, security and stability in the country, in accordance with the provisions of the Peace Agreement. This commitment is all the more pressing because the barriers placed in the way of humanitarian assistance and the obstacles impeding the implementation of the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme, as well as the obstructive manoeuvres to impede UNAMSIL's activities and attacks on personnel of the Mission, have become daily occurrences.”

  10. “Here we reaffirm Tunisia's commitment to the full and early implementation of the provisions of that Agreement, which offers a genuine chance for salvation to the people of Sierra Leone, who have already endured such hardship and who continue to be the victims of a tragedy of vast humanitarian, social, economic and political dimensions. My delegation would like to express its profound concern at the failure by the rebels to respect their commitments, undertaken voluntarily in the framework of the Lome Agreement. We feel that it is essential for them, and in particular for Mr. Sankoh and his party, to fulfil their responsibilities Vis-a-vis their people and their country in good faith, especially since Mr. Sankoh now bears a post of responsibility of high importance in the Government.”

  11. “Here we would like to point out the need to speed up this process so as to establish and put into effective operation, as soon as possible, the National Electoral Commission and the Commission for the Management of Strategic Resources, National Reconstruction and Development. However, we are bound to acknowledge that the situation in Sierra Leone, because of its continuing precariousness, is still profoundly disquieting, in particular with respect to the manifest reluctance of Mr. Sankoh to cooperate in implementing the Peace Agreement.”

  12. “Mr. J erandi (Tunisia) (spoke in French): I should like to begin by thanking Mr. Hedi Annabi for introducing the third report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL), which gives a comprehensive account of the situation prevailing in the country and identifies the challenges to be faced in order to complete the peace process successfully, as well as the steps to be taken in order to act effectively to meet those challenges. My delegation supports Mr. Annabi's suggestion that the report henceforth be published every 60 days. In this regard, my delegation notes with satisfaction the progress that has been made in the political area in the implementation of the provisions relating to governance.”
