  1. “That contributed to the success ofthe visit, whose conclusions, we hope, will lead to follow up on the ground and technical cooperation. The coming of a world free of nuclear weapons, far from being a utopia, is within the realm ofpossibility, as long as we can outlaw the famous doctrine of strategic deterrence, which functions as an alibi for nuclear proliferation. In conclusion, my delegation takes the opportunity provided by this commemorative meeting to remind us all of the importance of demonstrating openness, mutual trust, transparency and genuine political will in the service of establishing conditions and dialogue frameworks conducive to disarmament and non-proliferation.”

  2. “The visit allowed the Committee's experts to observe Burkina Faso's true commitment to fully respecting resolution 1540 (2004), as reflected, inter alia, in its accession to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention, as well as 12 of the 18 international instruments for combating terrorism. In addition, the members of the Committee welcomed the existence of monitoring and control mechanisms, relevant legal and regulatory frameworks and appropriate security and safety measures. I wish to reiterate the gratitude of the authorities of my country to the Committee, in particular the experts for their professionalism and clear cooperation.”

  3. “Today, as in the past, although it does not possess weapons of mass destruction, Burkina Faso still strives to uphold and ensure compliance with resolution 1540 (2004). That is why during its term as a non-permanent member of the Security Council in 2008 and 2009, Burkina Faso spared no effort to promote the ideals of resolution 1540 (2004) through several initiatives. Burkina Faso has submitted reports to the 1540 Committee and received its members and experts from 10 to 16 November 2013 to assess the implementation of the resolution and to identify opportunities for capacity-building so as to strengthen existing capacity.”

  4. “Those include the universalization of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, setting deadlines for the total elimination of chemical weapons, and the convening of a conference to bring about a zone free of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, in accordance with the action plan of the 2010 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. In addition to those challenges, we must condemn the continuing desire to acquire and develop nuclear weapons, the stagnation of the disarmament mechanisms and the lack of consensus on starting negotiations on crucial treaties, such as those on military fissile material, the prohibition of nuclear weapons and negative security assurances.”

  5. “Resolution 1540 (2004) recognizes the strong commitment of the international community to provide an effective response to the threat of the proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons facing the world, through the implementation of appropriate measures and devices to prevent the acquisition or misuse of such weapons by non-State actors or terrorist groups. Designed as a flexible tool for cooperation, the resolution has the advantage of allowing each State to assess its own actions for the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and to then consider the necessary means to achieve the desired progress. While progress has been made since the adoption of the resolution, even if the ultimate goal is still far from being achieved, several challenges remain.”

  6. “Mr. Kogda (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): I would like, first of all, on behalf of my delegation, to extend to you, Madam President, my sincere congratulations on your country's accession to the presidency of the Security Council and to thank you for holding this debate on the future of the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction regime on the occasion of the commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1540 (2004). Allow me also to pay warm tribute to the Chair, members and experts of the Committee establishsed pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) for their tireless efforts in promoting and raising awareness on a future world free from the fear of nuclear disasters.”

  7. “Moreover, a force of 1,000 men has been deployed along the border with Mali to stave off infiltrations by fleeing terrorist groups. In conclusion, Burkina Faso will spare no effort in supporting the struggle against terrorism in all its forms and in restoring the territorial integrity of Mali. Burkina Faso affirms its readiness, once the situation has been stabilized, to work to promote a dialogue and the effective conduct of the political process in order to reach national reconciliation and to establish lasting peace in Mali.”

  8. “My delegation takes this opportunity to thank France for its diligent response to Mali's requests to contain the advance of terrorist groups. Burkina Faso welcomes the courageous decision of French President Francois Hollande to provide prompt and critical support for the restoration of peace and stability in Mali and therefore throughout the entire region. Burkina Faso calls on the international community to immediately implement resolution 2085 (2012) authorizing the deployment of the African-led International Support Mission in Mali by supporting France's action on the ground, particularly by providing military logistics and the speedy establishment of the trust fund. With respect to Burkina Faso, the announced deployment ofa battalion of 500 men to Mali, alongside the ECOWAS troops, is being implemented.”

  9. “Throughout the process of political dialogue, the ECOWAS mediator and associate mediator, Mr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, patiently and firmly indicated to the different protagonists, including Ansar Dine and the Mouvement national pour la liberation de l'Azawad (MNLA), the benefits conducting frank negotiations on the basis of objective grievances, which would preserve the unity and territorial integrity of Mali and obviate the use of force. Unfortunately, the unilateral breakdown of the dialogue and the rejection of the commitments by some protagonists, particularly Ansar Dine, has left ECOWAS and the international community with no choice but to use force against the extremist groups, which have revealed the limits of their good faith.”

  10. “The ECOWAS mediator for Mali, President Blaise Compaore of Burkina Faso, deplored the violation of the commitments made by the Malian parties as a result of their meeting on 4 December 2012 in Ouagadougou, and condemned the resumption of hostilities. The armed group Ansar Dine, in deciding to join terrorist and extremist forces in attacking Malian units in Konna, has seriously violated the declaration of cessation of hostilities and repudiated its public rejection of terrorism, thereby compromising the possibility of a negotiated exit to the crisis. There is no need to dwell on the tireless efforts of the countries of the region and ECOWAS to broker a dialogue between the Government of Mali and the rebel movements in the north that had pledged to break all ties with the terrorist groups.”

  11. “Mr. Kogda (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): At the outset, allow me to congratulate you, Mr. President, and your country on assuming the presidency of the Council for this month, and to thank you for holding this public debate on the situation in Mali. My delegation associates itself with the statements made by the observer of the African Union Commission and the representative of the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The crisis that has struck Mali in recent months unfortunately took a dramatic turn a few weeks ago with an outbreak of attacks by armed groups seeking to conquer the southern part of the territory, in spite of warnings by the international community and a call for dialogue for a peaceful settlement of the crisis.”
