“The cooperation between Iraq and the United Nations has been key to the successful launch of that initiative and will remain critical during the implementation phase. Further advances in Iraq's economic reform, however, will require the passage of legislation on the hydrocarbons sector with regulations governing oil revenue-sharing. Iraq must also press ahead with its efforts to improve budget execution, particularly for reconstruction projects initiated by key ministries and the provincial governments and for essential support in service delivery. On the security front, insurgents, militias, terrorists and criminals continue their destabilizing actions. We strongly condemn this morning's vicious attack on the holy shrines of Imam Ali al-Hadi and Imam Hassan al-Askari in Samarra, and we share the outrage of the Iraqi people at that crime.”

“We welcome those efforts, as well as the work of the newly created Demobilization, Disarmament and Reintegration Committee, dealing with militias and other unauthorized military formations, and we look forward to the achievement of other benchmarks on reconciliation, such as the passage of a law to reform the de-Baathification process. I now turn to the economic front. We welcome the launch of the International Compact with Iraq, on 3 May, and appreciate the support of Secretary-General Ban. The emphasis now is on implementing the economic initiatives that the Government of Iraq has committed to undertake. The support of the international community for Iraq will be important for the Compact's success.”

“Last month, the Committee announced that it had prepared a draft plan to reform the constitution. The Committee's work will provide a solid foundation for a successful Iraq, and we look forward to its sustained effort on this fundamental matter. We also welcome the selection of the new Commissioners for the Independent High Electoral Commission and the work under way to prepare for provincial elections. Additional legislation is being formulated that will outline the powers of provincial councils and their relationship to national Government institutions.”

“We welcome the efforts expended over the last three months, while noting that much work remains to be done. With your permission, Mr. President, I will now provide an update on those efforts, which include activities in Iraq's political, economic and security sectors, as well as in the region and with the international community. In the political arena, progress on national reconciliation is essential to ensure that security efforts under way will result in long-term stability in the country and in the region. To that end, we welcome efforts by Iraqi leaders who are engaged in activities designed to promote national reconciliation. For example, as Mr. Qazi mentioned, the Constitutional Review Committee continues its work to address outstanding constitutional matters.”

“I am pleased to report to the Security Council on behalf of the Multinational Force in Iraq (MNF-I). I warmly welcome Iraq's Foreign Minister, Mr. Zebari, and am pleased that he could be here with us today. I also want to thank Special Representative Ashraf Qazi for his work and for his report on the important efforts of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI). It is clear that the Iraqi Government confronts significant security challenges as it strives to promote stability and consolidate Iraq's young democracy. Success will depend not only on progress in the security sector, where MNF-I plays an important supporting role, but also on advances in the economic field and, most important, movement in the political arena.”

We urge all parties to act responsibly in the days ahead and to abide by their obligations to support Lebanon's sovereignty and political independence. For our part, we concluded that failure to act in support of Lebanon was unacceptable. There can be no peace or stability without justice.

“After five months of tireless efforts to find a solution to the impasse facing his country, Prime Minister Siniora sent the Secretary- General a letter on 14 May (S/2007/281, annex) asking that the matter be put before the Security Council so that it could take a binding decision to establish the Special Tribunal. The Secretary-General endorsed the Prime Minister's request one day later, after concluding that all diplomatic efforts had been exhausted. We would have preferred that the Lebanese ratify the Tribunal Agreement and Statute, but we know that that was not possible. No one can say that the Lebanese Government, the Secretary-General or the Security Council failed to pursue every possible option, short of Council action on the Tribunal. But those opposed to the Tribunal made sure that there were no such options available.”

“The Council approved the Tribunal Agreement and Statute on 21 November 2006. Since that time, the legitimate and democratically elected Government of Lebanon and the parliamentary majority have tried, using every possible means, to convince the Speaker of parliament to fulfil his constitutional responsibility to convene parliament so that final action on the Tribunal could be taken, but to no avail. Several influential parties visited Lebanon in an effort to find a framework within which parliament could be convened. These included the Arab League, United Nations Legal Counsel Nicolas Michel and the Secretary-General himself.”

We welcome the adoption of resolution 1757 (2007) on the establishment of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. By adopting this resolution, the Security Council has demonstrated its commitment to the principle that there shall be no impunity for political assassinations in Lebanon or elsewhere. Those who killed Rafik Hariri and so many others will be brought to justice and held responsible for their crimes. The Tribunal will also serve to deter future political assassinations. Those who might be tempted to commit similar crimes will know that there will be consequences for perpetuating political violence and intimidation in Lebanon. We know that it was necessary and right for the Council to act now.”

“Moreover, the United States sought and obtained a criminal indictment charging Posada with Violations of our immigration laws. The Federal District Court, a part of the United States independent judiciary handling that case, issued a decision on 8 May 2007 dismissing the indictment. The United States is currently reviewing that decision and its options for challenging it. Posada also remains under investigation for past activities. In the meantime, Posada remains subject to the order of removal issued by the immigration judge and is without legal status in the United States. He is also subject to an order of supervision from the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which imposes certain restrictions on Posada, including reporting and monitoring requirements.”

The United States has been seeking, and continues to seek, ways to implement it consistent with the terms of the order and United States regulations. Specifically, at the time that the immigration judge ordered Posada removed, the judge also determined that he could not be removed to either Cuba or Venezuela. As a matter of United States immigration law, the United States is not in a position to remove Posada to either country. The United States, however, would be prepared to transfer Posada, in accordance with United States law, to another country, with terrorism-related charges against him.”

In taking the steps that I will describe, the United States has acted consistent with international law, as well as with our domestic legal framework that provides for due process and various constitutional safeguards. Posada entered the United States illegally in early 2005. He was detained by immigration authorities in the United States on 17 May 2005, and he was, in accordance with United States law, placed in removal proceedings.”

“This most recent resolution in the 1267 family addresses many important issues, but I would like to focus on just one - the Taliban. The Committee has not updated the Taliban sanctions list since 2003; and it no longer reflects the realities on the ground. The United States strongly believes that the Committee must focus on updating the list to make it a relevant and potent tool in the fight against the Taliban and Al-Qaida in Afghanistan. As resolution 1735 (2006) clearly lays out, we believe in a three-pronged approach: sanctioning new Taliban who are responsible for the current upsurge in violence, de-listing former Taliban who have severed their ties, and adding new and updated biographical information to help States better enforce the sanctions.”

“I would like to thank the Monitoring Team for its invaluable assistance in helping the Committee discharge its mandate. As you mentioned in your statement, the Council adopted two key resolutions in late December, and I will comment briefly on each of them. The Council unanimously adopted resolution 1730 (2006), which established the Focal Point for removing names from sanctions lists. The United States was a leader in this effort, and we worked closely with France and others on the Council to develop this important mechanism. We are confident that the Focal Point adequately addresses the concerns heard from Member States about a perceived lack of fairness in the sanctions process. The Council also unanimously adopted in December resolution 1735 (2006), which strengthens the Al-Qaida and Taliban sanctions regime.”
