“Along with the national strategy, the International Compact with Iraq and the Development Group Iraq Trust Fund, the Assistance Strategy will make it possible to better coordinate assistance and development initiatives and to build national capacity in the area of governance. With respect to the violence that we have seen in the past, in particular against certain Christian communities, and above all, looking ahead to the upcoming provincial elections that are planned for the beginning of 2009, we believe that the presence of the Multinational Force and the strengthening of the UNAMI's operational, logistic and security capacities are still necessary.”

“The monitoring and elimination of systematic human rights violations is also at the heart of the Mission's concerns, even though in this area the role of the Iraqi Government and of the Multinational Force is crucial. We hope that the project to support the rule of law and justice in Iraq, supported by the Iraqi Government and the United Nations in partnership with the European Commission, the implementation of which will extend until 2010, will help to further lay the basis for a true democracy in Iraq. As for economic concerns, we are pleased with the signing by the Iraqi Government and the United Nations of the United Nations Assistance Strategy for Iraq for the period 2008-2010.”

“Another significant and reassuring aspect that is worth noting is the intensity of diplomatic activity that we have seen in Iraq, including with the restoration of the diplomatic representation of several countries; this offers real prospects for intraregional cooperation. We have a highly positive view of the important contribution made by the United Nations to Iraq's national reconstruction effort. In particular, the personal commitment of the Special Representative and the prominent role played by the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) have been decisive for the improvement of the political and institutional process; here, we must not overlook their contribution to the organization of free, democratic and transparent elections.”

“These actions are important steps to strengthening the political dialogue. Even though significant efforts remain to be made in the area of human rights, including with respect to the protection of women and children, we should welcome certain interesting decisions, among them the ratification by the Iraqi Government of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. We encourage the Iraqi Government to maintain this momentum by adopting the bill on the establishment of an independent human rights commission, a crucial tool for a rational and equitable treatment of human rights- related issues.”

“Mr. Kafando (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): My delegation greatly appreciates the briefing given by Mr. Staffan de Mistura, for which we thank him. We also thank Ambassador Khalilzad for his briefing on the activities of the Multinational Force. We also thank our colleague the Permanent Representative of Iraq for the very useful information that we have received. From all of these briefings, we can conclude that the overall situation in Iraq continues to improve, even though it is still fragile; a certain degree of hope is therefore warranted. We welcome in particular the progress made in the political area, with the adoption by the Council of Representatives of the provincial election law as well as the updating of the electoral rolls by the Independent High Electoral Commission.”

“We reiterate our gratitude to Djibouti for its cooperation with the United Nations fact-finding mission and, naturally, we back the Secretary-General's offer of his good offices to find a peaceful solution to the crisis. We again invite both parties to accept that offer.”

“And if one of the parties refuses to engage in that direct dialogue, the two States can resort to other forms of conciliation, either arbitration or facilitation, which are, as we know, two ways to settle disputes recognized by international law, or even resort to litigation, which has been successful in similar situations. If the Council is not able to resolve the dispute - and we hope that the Security Council will strive to, and will succeed in, resolving it - but if that is not possible, we believe that the Council should back, with its full influence, the use of one or other of those two options. In conclusion, we should like to pay tribute to all the initiatives and all the efforts undertaken in that regard. We especially pay tribute to the efforts undertaken by the African Union and the League of Arab States.”

“Following the statements that we have just heard, it is clear that it is incumbent upon the Council to reaffirm to the international community the guiding principles that can help in restoring normalcy: first, the withdrawal of all forces to their initial positions, in other words their positions before the conflict; secondly, the demilitarization of the disputed area; thirdly, the commitment in good faith and with the full trust of both parties to refrain from the use of force; and finally, the acceptance by both countries to sit at the negotiating table to address their differences.”

“The Council has already shown its resolve to remain fully involved in the conflict, particularly, through the dispatch of a fact-finding mission to better understand the situation, even though, unfortunately, that mission was not received by one of the parties. Moreover, the Council has sent a clear message to Eritrea and to Djibouti in its presidential statement of June 2008 on the issue (S/PRST/2008/20).”

“I mention this to show the extent to which the commitment of the Government of Djibouti, at the very highest level, bears witness to the trust which it places in the United Nations to assist in resolving this unfortunate situation. It is only right therefore to pay tribute to the authorities of Djibouti for the good will they have always shown in seeking a final solution to the dispute. The region of the Horn of Africa is already wracked by too many conflicts and many other challenges, as the President of Djibouti so aptly underscored, to suffer yet another adversarial front. That is why the delegation of Burkina Faso deplores the continuing tension between Djibouti and Eritrea, which are brotherly countries united by historical and long lasting ties. But what can and must the Security Council do? One thing is certain.”

“Mr. Kafando (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): On behalf of my delegation, I should like to welcome His Excellency Ismail Omar Guelleh, President of the Republic of Djibouti, and his delegation, who honour us by apprising us of developments in the conflict between his country and Eritrea. We especially thank him for the important statement he has just made to the Council. I also welcome the presence of Ambassador Araya Desta, Permanent Representative of Eritrea to the United Nations. We note that this is the second time that Djibouti has appeared before the Security Council represented at a very high level. The first time, it was represented by the head of Government, and this time it is represented by the head of State himself.”

“However, one should not forget that building the basis for lasting peace and development remains the final objective. It is important that the message of the international community be well understood. This will contribute to reinforcing the confidence of national actors and to promoting effective national ownership of the process.”

“On this road towards a restored peace, all dimensions should be equally addressed. We thus recognize that quick-impact projects, if well-implemented, can prove most effective in stabilizing the socio-economic situation, mobilizing political will and re-establishing trust and laying the foundations of rapid rehabilitation. It remains necessary, however, that all main sectors be rapidly covered and enjoy international aid. This will prevent the feeling that the international community gives pride of place to such sectors of governance, elections and strengthening of the judiciary over such vital fields as energy or basic social services. Activity on strengthening the rule of law is certainly important in promoting the participation of partners and in laying down the framework for appropriate strategy and behaviour of stakeholders.”

“Fourthly, we believe that the Peacebuilding Commission's contribution to reconstruction and institutional capacity-building will be effective only if, in its approach, the Commission focus on cooperation with regional and subregional organizations, which, given their familiarity with the field, are in a position to play a significant role in the political dialogue with concerned States and in the mobilization of efforts at a regional and subregional level. Here, I should like to underscore the major role played by the Economic Community of West African States in Guinea-Bissau and Sierra Leone, as well as the active participation on a bilateral basis of some of its members, in the rehabilitation of these two countries. The peacebuilding stage is a delicate phase in the post-conflict transition process.”

“Secondly, as an intergovernmental body, the Peacebuilding Commission should play a mainly political role, one of coordinating the actions of all stakeholders in order to avoid duplication, maintain constructive dialogue with all national players, promote in all circumstances national ownership of the process, make recommendations and suggest integrated peacebuilding strategies. Thirdly, as an advisory body, the Peacebuilding Commission should not in our View aspire to formulate projects or to take final decisions instead of the Peacebuilding Fund, which is better equipped to do so. We encourage the Commission and its partners to continue their efforts for better mobilization of national expertise, particularly in drawing up projects.”

“The participation of international organizations and civil society in the work of the Commission is also praiseworthy and should continue within the framework of a pooling of efforts to develop integrated strategies. Basing ourselves on the principle that the main task of the Peacebuilding Commission is to facilitate the institutional link between peacekeeping, post- conflict operations and the international network for assistance and the mobilization of donors, my delegation would like to make the following comments. First, the Peacebuilding Commission must step up its efforts to mobilize potential partners possessing the necessary resources to assist States in their rehabilitation processes, because, quite clearly, even though significant progress has been achieved, a great deal of potential remains untapped.”

“It enables us to take stock of achievements and remaining challenges and to join all the actors in seeking the best ways to enable the Commission to better discharge its mission. We encourage the Commission to continue on-site visits, which have shown themselves to be irreplaceable tools to get a good feel for the realities and to engage in direct exchanges with local actors and their partners. We welcome the contacts and other informal interactions with other United Nations bodies. This cooperation should continue within the framework of a clearly understood partnership and a harmonization of actions that will ensure that the United Nations bodies avoid duplication while abiding by their respective mandates.”

“That will probably have to wait until the end of the electoral process. Rightly considered a body possessing the functions of both strengthening peace and preventing the resumption of hostilities in post-conflict situations, the Peacebuilding Commission has already been able to accompany a number of States through a phase of political and security normalization, the restoration of State authority and economic renewal - in short, the laying of solid foundations for sustainable development. We thus wish to congratulate the Peacebuilding Commission and its country configurations, the Peacebuilding Fund and the Peacebuilding Support Office on their significant achievements. The present debate is a timely one.”

“In general, such States face various challenges - economic, political and social, as well as security-related - which they cannot overcome without sustained international support. That is why after the inclusion on the Peacebuilding Commission's agenda of Burundi, Sierra Leone and Guinea-Bissau, we are gratified by the recent inclusion of the Central African Republic, followed by the setting up of a country-specific configuration for that country which is being guided so effectively by my neighbour at this table, Ambassador Grauls, who himself recognizes that we are at an important stage in efforts to mobilize the international community to rehabilitate that country. We also hope that cote d'Ivoire's request for inclusion on the Peacebuilding Commission's agenda will soon be granted.”

“Mr. Kafando (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): I should like at the outset to convey my gratitude to the Chinese delegation for having taken the welcome initiative of organizing a Security Council debate on the important topic of the Peacebuilding Commission, just a few days after the General Assembly held a debate on the subject. My delegation listened with a great deal of interest to the statement of Ambassador Takasu, Chairman of the Peacebuilding Commission, and we thank him for the very useful information he provided to the Security Council. The establishment two years ago of the Peacebuilding Commission was undoubtedly an expression of the international community's solidarity with States emerging from conflict.”

“A definitive solution to the Afghan problem will also hinge on strengthened regional and international cooperation. We are gratified by the numerous signs of reviving relations between Afghanistan and other countries of the region, which augurs well for subregional and regional stability. As to international cooperation, I note once again the current and future importance of the contribution of the international community, including the United Nations, to peace, economic recovery and national reconstruction in Afghanistan. UNAMA should be able to rely on the support of the Security Council in fulfilling its mandate, which we have just renewed.”

“Although political differences do not yet allow for the adoption of an electoral law, the adoption of draft legislation on the Independent Election Commission represents a significant milestone in the framework of the electoral process under way. Moreover, given the extreme sensitivity of the pending deadlines, every effort must be made to strengthen security, along the lines of measures already taken by the United Nations forces currently on the ground and the Organization as a whole in support of the National Police. We also note the adoption of an anti-corruption law, the establishment of the High Office of Oversight, and the improved performance of public administration, local governance and the administration of justice. We warmly encourage the authorities to pursue and intensify such efforts.”

“In that regard, we welcome the convening on 19 November, at the initiative of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the Afghan Government, of an international conference on the timetable for their return and reintegration. Another major source of concern are the ongoing human rights violations - in particular summary executions and sexual or gender-based violence, including against children - committed in conditions of impunity. We call for vigorous and courageous measures to be taken along the lines of the National Action Plan for the Women of Afghanistan of 19 May 2008. My delegation welcomes the political progress achieved despite everything, including the adoption of important legislation.”

“That would allow for the creation of conditions most conducive to ensuring, in the short term, the organization of presidential elections in 2009 and legislative elections in 2010, and, in the longer term, the establishment of a lasting and definitive peace throughout the country, including the effective resolution of the thorny issue of drug trafficking. We remain concerned about the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan. While we welcome the measures undertaken to meet that challenge and the United Nations appeals to that end, we urge the international community to remain vigilant as it helps the Afghan people to mitigate their own suffering. We make the same appeal for an effective approach to addressing the fate of refugees and displaced persons.”

“Unfortunately, we must note that fighting has increased recently between the insurgents, on the one hand, and the Afghan forces and the international security forces, on the other, claiming numerous victims among the civilian population and humanitarian personnel, while a high level of insecurity continues to reign. The resolve of the insurgents, even in provinces that have been relatively calm until recently, is complicating the task of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), which must expand its provincial offices and, above all, be able to make full use of its means and capacities to fulfil its mandate effectively. Burkina Faso believes that it is highly urgent to identify the best possible strategy for resolving the crisis, in particular through negotiation and the strengthening of political dialogue.”

“Mr. Kafando (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): I, too, would like to thank Mr. Kai Eide, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan, for his briefing and the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan for the valuable information he has provided. It is concerning to note that the situation in Afghanistan remains one of the most complex issues on the Security Council's agenda. We have welcomed the convening and outcome of the Paris Conference, which laid the groundwork for a political and financial partnership between Afghanistan and the international community to rebuild the country. If such a partnership is to produce the desired results, political and security conditions must be established to provide for a calmer climate.”

“With regard to the establishment of a panel of exports for Guinea-Bissau, as recommended by the Secretary-General in his report, we call for caution and prudence. Above all, we consider that we need to delve deeper into that issue. The stabilization of the situation in Guinea- Bissau is vital for the West African subregion. For that reason, the Security Council and the international community as a whole must remain mobilized to ensure that peace is consolidated permanently in Guinea-Bissau. To that end, my delegation has drafted a presidential statement that is still being negotiated. We hope that the Security Council will be able to make a decision on that draft statement as soon as possible.”

“I cannot close without paying tribute to the work of the Peacebuilding Support Office in Guinea-Bissau and the Guinea-Bissau configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission including the implementation of four short-term projects for youth employment, electoral support and the rehabilitation of prisons and military barracks; and the adoption on lOctober of the Strategic Framework for Peacebuilding in Guinea-Bissau. It is vital that all players meet their commitments, and particularly that a mechanism for the monitoring and evaluation of the recommendations be established in that regard. It is important, too, in this critical phase that there be improved cooperation between the international partners in giving substantial support to the Government's efforts.”

“In that context, the Security Council should welcome the efforts of the Government of Guinea-Bissau towards macroeconomic recovery and urge it to pursue its reforms by strengthening economic management and improving financial transparency and responsibility. Furthermore, the financial partners must continue to support the national authorities in their efforts to alleviate the food crisis and to meet basic social needs, such as education and health.”

“At the same time, the Guinea-Bissau Government must pursue the comprehensive implementation of security sector reform according to the guidelines set out in the security sector reform document. In support of that effort, it is Vital that a broad information and awareness-building campaign be launched among military personnel and administrative and political officials. I have described all the serious obstacles to national reconstruction efforts in Guinea-Bissau. First and foremost, however, the only definitive solution to those difficulties is the economic reconstruction of the country. We cannot hide from the fact that in Guinea- Bissau, as in any country emerging from conflict, the only major challenge upon which all else depends is economic development.”

“As I pointed out, one way of ensuring the success of the elections and the reconstruction of the country is to improve the security situation, which unfortunately remains precarious given the surge in the drug trade and organized crime. For that reason, we look forward to the holding, on 28 and 29 October, in Praia, Cape Verde, of the Economic Community of West African States Ministerial Conference on Drug Trafficking as it Affects West Africa. Whatever the outcome of that conference, however, the international community must continue to give the necessary support to national authorities in the struggle against that phenomenon, particularly in the framework of the anti-drug operation plan.”

“The Security Council must therefore call on all political actors to share responsibility and to commit resolutely and jointly to advancing the political process. To that end, it is essential that the new Prime Minister of the caretaker Government, Mr. Carlos Correia, be able to seamlessly carry out the commitments made with regard to convening parliamentary elections in November 2008. Those elections will be the decisive test of whether democracy and good governance has taken root in Guinea-Bissau. In that regard, my delegation pays tribute to the support and involvement of the international community in assisting Guinea-Bissau to move towards credible and transparent elections.”

“Indeed, since the last report, notable progress has been made in many areas, but not enough to allow us to forget entirely that Guinea- Bissau is still the major convalescent of West Africa. It is still facing the same old evils of political instability and the drug trade, the two main sources that allow insecurity to flourish. Long-term political instability - particularly since the simmering crisis between the army and the central Government, against the backdrop of the threat of an army coup - was further complicated by the withdrawal of the Partido Africano da Independencia da Guine e Cabo Verde from the governmental coalition. It will be impossible to rebuild the country if it does not enjoy sound national reconciliation as a factor of unity, stability and progress.”

For reasons that I need not enumerate here, we are sure that your presidency will have an important impact on our work this month. I would also like to thank Mr. Lynn Pascoe, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, and Ambassador Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, Chairperson of the Guinea-Bissau configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission, for their informative briefings. Today's Security Council review of the situation in Guinea-Bissau is taking place at an important stage in the political evolution of a country that is facing numerous challenges.”
