4. “There have been a number of important developments since the last open debate on Afghanistan in May, not least the successful meeting of the Emergency Loya Jirga last month. This, therefore, is a timely opportunity to take stock of progress towards implementation of Bonn process and to consider our priorities for the way ahead. It is a great honour to have the Secretary-General's Special Representative with us this morning, and I should like to pay a tribute to him on behalf of the Security Council for the excellent work he is doing for the United Nations in Kabul and throughout Afghanistan. I now invite him to offer us his analysis of recent developments, his assessment of the many challenges which lie ahead for both the international community and the Transitional Authority, and his thoughts on how best these challenges should be faced.”

15. “It is a question of coordination of the right resources going into the right places. It is very good to see the Government of Angola and the United Nations working closely together. We make the same points as others about internally displaced persons. We are very glad that Francis Deng has now worked with the Government of Angola to produce that significant forward step of the Government's adoption of the guiding principles for internal displacement. But I hope that the United Nations will continue to work on the implementation of those guidelines. I hope that Mr. Oshima can let us know that that will be going forward. Similarly, on landmines, is the Government of Angola going to be working with United Nations landmine clearance agencies in the programme?”

16. “Let me just say a brief word in my national capacity in thanking Kenzo Oshima. I would also like to welcome the Angolan Permanent Representative to the table. The United Kingdom is very interested in contributing to improvements in the humanitarian situation in Angola. We have a team there this week from our Department for International Development to help firm up our own ideas with the Government of Angola of where priority needs for assistance might lie. But that is against the background of our fully sharing the need for better or more balanced burden-sharing on this issue. I think it is worth just pointing out - this is not a specious point - that the full value of the Consolidated Appeal, at $233 million, is the same as bout three weeks of oil revenues for the Angolan Government. Angola is not a poor country.”

In case members of the Council were wondering, we have received no requests from the delegation of Angola to be at the Council table at this meeting. Could I just check whether there is a representative of Angola at the side of the Council Chamber? I see that there is a representative of the delegation here. The floor is now open for those who want to put brief comments and questions.”

We will not be able to detain him more than about an hour, but I hope that following his initial presentation, there will be time for a brief question-and-answer session. Those Council members who wish to take the floor in that sense should so indicate to the Secretariat from now on. I give the floor to Mr. Oshima.”

20. “May I remind the Council that the background to this meeting is that the Council continues to await with great interest the report by the Secretary-General following the recent inter-agency mission to Angola. Since that report has been held up, the Council recently agreed with the Secretary-General's recommendation that the mandate of the United Nations Office in Angola should be rolled over for one month upon its expiry on 15 July. We expect that a full discussion of Angola will be arranged by the United States presidency in August in good time for the new mandate renewal date. But given the urgency of the humanitarian situation, Council members felt that it would be useful to have a briefing from Mr. Oshima, who has also visited Angola recently, without waiting for the fuller discussion next month.

Finally, I have listened carefully to the comments of several representatives about the powers of the Security Council in this matter. The United Kingdom shares the concern that actions of the Council should remain within the scope of its powers. Article 39 of the United Nations Charter is relevant in that respect. We are equally firm that solutions to this problem should be consistent with the ICC Statute. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council.

The United Kingdom has all along taken the view that members of the Council and Members of the United Nations should work for, and be prepared to support, a responsible solution that will encourage the ICC to fulfil its functions in accordance with its Statute while, at the same time, permitting the continuation of the equally vital operations of the United Nations with regard to peacekeeping and similar issues. The United Kingdom will continue to work for both those ends; and we will continue to work with others to help build stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

The United Kingdom associates itself fully with the declaration made on behalf of the European Union by the Danish Presidency. As we have often said in discussions of this issue in recent days, we understand, but do not share, the concerns of the United States about the International Criminal Court (ICC). From the beginning we have taken the view that those concerns are fully addressed within the framework of the ICC Statute. That is why the United Kingdom is a party to the Statute and a strong supporter of the Court. We have also said from the beginning that the concerns of the United States create a potential problem for the Security Council, and for the United Nations generally, of considerable magnitude.”
