“It will be noted that, in all Solomon Island statements that we have delivered in the Council this year and in the past in such open debates, we have always recognized the role of regional organizations, by way of complying with Article 54 of the Charter of the United Nations, in keeping the Council abreast of the activities undertaken by regional organizations for the maintenance of international peace and security.”

“Today, a subregional organization of the Pacific, the Melanesian Spearhead Group has established a Department of Peacekeeping Operations unit within its Secretariat. Solomon Islands would like to welcome improved coordination between the United Nations and regional organizations and share information and expertise as appropriate, especially with regional organizations that have peacekeeping, peacebuilding and peacemaking capacities. Such relationships are provided for under Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations and should be encouraged. We are pleased to see that consultation between the United Nations and regional organizations is increasing.”

“The success of RAMSI can be put down to the partnership the Mission has with the Government and the people of Solomon Islands. Sufficient resources provided by the region in carrying out its work and the flexibility of the Mission have allowed RAMSI to adapt to changing situations on the ground. In the 10 years of regional operations in Solomon Islands, there has been only one loss of life of RAMSI personnel. Thousands of soldiers, police and civilians have been rotated through the regional Mission. Last month, in marking the tenth anniversary of RAMSI, my Government and people thanked all 14 United Nations Members of the Pacific Islands Forum and two non-members of the United Nations for contributing to international peace and security.”

“Following the ethnic conflict that erupted in Solomon Islands, the leaders ofthe Pacific Island Forum dispatched the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) at the invitation of the Government of Solomon Islands. RAMSI, which initially consisted of 2,000 military personnel was led by Australia, with the support of New Zealand and all of the Pacific small island developing States. RAMSI involved military, police and civilian components. It was headed by a civilian and it successfully carried out peacekeeping, peacebuilding and peacemaking roles. After 10 years of operation, the Mission, as of last month, is now going through a transitional phase. The military component has since withdrawn, with the police component now playing a more advisory role.”

“My delegation attaches great importance to the subject oftoday's open debate and commends you, Madam President, and the Government of Argentina for convening this timely discussion of the agenda item. As stated by the 2004 report of the High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change (A/59/565), while the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security rests with the Security Council, over time a considerable number of regional and subregional groups have been established. Some of those organizations have directly contributed to peace and stability and receive little or insufficient attention by the United Nations.”
