1. “The long-term consolidation of peace in Timor-Leste cannot take place in the absence of a viable environment for a credible and functioning judiciary and penal system in which the rule of law prevails, impunity is fully overcome and perpetrators of the serious criminal offences committed in 1999 and 2006 are brought to justice. Timorese recognition of the need for justice and commitment to implementing the recommendations of the Independent Special Commission of Inquiry is a very encouraging sign. We warmly welcome the resolve of the Government to address two major residual consequences of the 2006 crisis, namely, the issues of the F-FDTL petitioners and of the internally displaced persons.”

2. “Fully cognizant of the long-term commitment that this comprehensive process entails, we appreciate the central role that UNMIT is playing to further strengthen institutional capacities, policies and processes. To ensure that the security sector will act in a professional, impartial manner and with due respect for human rights, a clear distinction of roles between the Falintil-Forcas de Defesa de Timor- Leste (F-FDTL) security force and the National Police Force of Timor-Leste (PNTL) is needed, coupled with a strong legal framework and shored up by civil oversight, the rule of law, transparency and accountability mechanisms for both security institutions. Fully developed and effective national capacities are essential for the consolidation of future peacebuilding efforts in Timor-Leste.”

3. “These practices can only help to build much-needed trust among the political leaders and allow the opposition a constructive role as set out in the political party accord signed on 25 May 2007. The upcoming local elections in 2009 will serve as another important benchmark in the country's progress towards a culture of political dialogue and democratic governance. We hope that the Timorese will continue to take full advantage of the good offices of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and UNMIT's expertise in order to further build on the positive momentum achieved to date. The ongoing review and reform of the security sector is of paramount concern.”

4. “On the issue of political dialogue, UNMIT has proved to be a valuable conduit for fostering a more inclusive and participatory consultative process at all levels of society in order to address critical political and security-related issues facing the country. We welcome the ongoing good office efforts of Special Representative of the Secretary-General Khare to promote an enhanced dialogue between the main stakeholders, including through the expanded High- level Coordination Committee and the Trilateral Coordination Forum. We also commend President Ramos-Horta for his role in creating opportunities to reinforce these and other consultative approaches with the opposition on questions of national interest.”

5. “09-24239 We are encouraged by the Secretariat's assessment of the political and security situation in Timor-Leste since the 2006 crisis and the return to normalcy following the events of 11 February 2008. While this progress confirms that a positive momentum has been established, its fragility should not be underestimated. Although Croatia was relieved to see that there were no further significant security incidents in 2008, the assassination attempts last year still serve as a stark reminder of the importance of addressing the unresolved root causes of the 2006 crisis and the multifaceted challenges still facing Timor-Leste. These challenges include strengthening political dialogue and reconciliation, consolidating peace, democracy and the rule of law, and achieving durable social and economic development.”

6. “We deeply appreciate His Excellency President Jose' Ramos-Horta's personal participation in and contribution to today's debate. I thank him for his update on the situation in Timor- Leste. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his views on the situation in Timor-Leste as well. Croatia aligns itself with the European Union statement to be delivered later in this open debate by the Czech presidency of the Union. The United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor- Leste (UNMIT) is playing a vital role in restoring and maintaining stability, as well as in the crucial areas of democratic governance, socio-economic development, rule of law and security sector reform in Timor-Leste. We also recognize the significant contribution the international security forces made in 2008 towards maintaining stability in the area.”

8. “It is important that it does not allow for the return to the status quo. Only if the conditions on the ground are suck that they can guarantee a ceasefire that will be fully respected by both sides, that Israel can be assured that its population will not be exposed to the continuing terror of rocket attacks and that weapons smuggling by Hamas will not be tolerated can we hope to have a sustainable solution to the crisis. In the interest of a lasting state of calm, it is imperative that there be confidence in the mechanisms on the ground. As intense diplomatic activity in the region continues, let me reiterate our support for the efforts that Egypt and others are investing in the process. Finally, I would like to reiterate Croatia's belief that political dialogue is the only way to achieve a lasting peace based on a two-State solution.”

9. “Let me begin by expressing our appreciation for all efforts to come up with a clear Council response to the situation in Gaza. We commend the intense personal engagement of the ministers, which has made it possible to adopt this important resolution, which has our full support. The resolution reflects a number of substantive messages that have emerged from the thorough diplomatic engagement in New York and in the region over the past days. In view of the ongoing conflict, an immediate, permanent and effective ceasefire is a necessity - a ceasefire that will be credible and implemented by all, one that will eradicate conditions that have led to the current state of escalation and will end both the suffering and deprivation in Gaza and the persistent terrorist threat under which the population of southern Israel lives.”

10. “While reiterating the call on all parties to adhere to an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, we should not forget that the political dialogue and diplomatic efforts mean that Hamas must recognize Israel and its right to exist, abide by the commitments of the Palestine Liberation Organization and, in particular, cease the terror of daily rocket attacks that threaten the population of southern Israel. Croatia continues to believe that a political dialogue is the only way to achieve a lasting peace based on the two-State solution. Resolution 1850 (2008), which was adopted only three weeks ago, charts the way forward. We find it essential that the Council remain guided by the objectives reaffirmed by resolution 1850 (2008) in our efforts to find a solution to this unfolding crisis.”

12. “Israel has an inherent and legitimate right to defend itself and the obligation to defend and protect its citizens. However, it is vital that civilians in Gaza be protected. Our previous discussions have demonstrated that we all share the conviction that an effective, permanent and credible ceasefire is needed if we want to secure permanent peace and lasting improvement in the humanitarian, social and economic conditions in Gaza. We appreciate the new initiative presented to us today, which aims to secure the adoption of a Security Council resolution on that matter. It is a timely call, and my delegation is ready to work with others in bringing that forward. In the interests of a durable and credible ceasefire, it is important that such steps not amount to returning to the status quo.”

13. “We understand that, in order to avoid an escalation of violence and the further deterioration of the humanitarian and security conditions on the ground, it is essential to achieve an immediate and permanent ceasefire that will be respected by all, put a stop to the persistent rocket attacks targeting southern Israel and end the suffering and deprivation in Gaza. We are deeply disturbed by the latest reports of military movements into Gaza. We also understand that the Israeli military operations are not aimed at the Palestinian population, but should be seen in the context of the continuing threat coming from Hamas, which denies Israel's right to exist and has intensified the scope and frequency of its attacks on the population of southern Israel.”

14. “I, too, would like to thank you, Sir, for convening and presiding over this very important meeting of the Security Council. I would like to begin by welcoming Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the President of the Palestinian National Authority His Excellency Mahmoud Abbas, Secretary-General of the Arab League Amre Moussa, and all the ministers present here today. Croatia shares the sense of extreme urgency that has brought us together. I would like to convey my Government's deepest concerns at the suffering of civilians in and around Gaza and to reiterate the need to end all violence. We continue to appeal to the parties to exercise maximum restraint, to adhere to the tenets of international humanitarian law and to avoid civilian casualties. We reiterate the call for unhindered access to humanitarian assistance and supplies.”

17. “It is essential that we stand firmly behind the messages contained in resolution 1850 (2008), which lay the groundwork for a political settlement and a continuation of the process. This calls for responsibility on the part of all actors, notably those in the region. We will continue to support every constructive effort aimed at curbing the violence. We shall study very carefully the draft resolution circulated by the Libyan delegation. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. I now call on the representative of Egypt.”

18. “Hamas and the militants in the Gaza Strip, positioned in and among the civilian infrastructure, have since been consistently carrying out rocket attacks on Israel. The terrible daily rocket attacks that Hamas is launching at the population of south Israel have increased in frequency as well as in range in recent days. Israel cannot be denied its inherent and legitimate right to defend itself or its obligation to defend and protect its citizens. However, civilian casualties must be avoided. We do not condone violence, and we continue to believe in peace. Only two weeks ago, the Security Council sent out a strong message of support for the Annapolis peace process.”

19. “In that regard, we should not forget that the tenets of humanitarian law - notably the duty to protect civilians - apply to all. Croatia is deeply concerned at the desperate situation of Gaza's civilians and hopes to see swift humanitarian action on the ground, including deliveries of humanitarian supplies, unhindered humanitarian access and the facilitation of the evacuation of injured persons. We appreciate the efforts of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East and other United Nations agencies, as well as the initiative by the Government of France, in that regard. However, we cannot address the situation in Gaza- including the latest military actions of the Israel Defense Forces - in isolation from its context.”

20. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Croatia. My Government shares the sense of urgency and utmost concern regarding the ongoing violence in southern Israel and Gaza, in particular its heavy toll on civilians. We deeply regret the loss of civilian life. Our sympathies go to the families of innocent victims on both sides. We join in the appeals made by the Council on 28 December 2008 and by the international community at large for all violence to be immediately brought to a halt, as it is only through peaceful means that we can hope to achieve a just and lasting peace. We urge the parties to adhere strictly to international humanitarian law. It is essential to avoid further civilian casualties, as any life lost is one too many.”
