“This will no doubt need further assistance from donors and, in that regard, we urge donor communities to enhance their support for the various projects that are being carried out in Kosovo. The region, which is one of the poorest in Europe, urgently needs investment for sustained economic recovery. Mauritius has repeatedly highlighted in its previous statements that the security situation in the Mitrovica region remains a challenge which should be tackled with great care if we do not want a crumbling of the whole process of peacemaking in Kosovo. UNMIK has still not been able to fully enforce its authority in that area, where the security situation continues to be fragile. It is also a matter of concern that KFOR members continue to be assaulted while on duty in that part of the province.”

“The issue of the security of minority communities remains a priority at this point in time so as to encourage them to return to their homeland. It is noted that only 2,432 out of the 229,900 registered internally displaced persons have returned to their homes in Kosovo. Much work needs to be done to activate the return and reintegration of these displaced persons. While UNMIK and KFOR are carrying out their duties of ensuring the safe return of the internally displaced persons and refugees, we call on the political leaders to create the necessary conditions to accelerate the return of the minority communities to the province. The return of internally displaced persons and refugees will also depend on the availability of the proper infrastructures and the restoration of public utilities and community services in the province.”

“We call on them to show a stronger sense of compromise and dialogue and to agree on the choice of the President of Kosovo. The sooner the President is appointed, the better it will be, because the institutions of provisional self-government have to start operating soon. Long and arduous work lies ahead of the Assembly members to shape the future of their province. We commend UNMIK for the excellent work it is doing to support the Assembly in avoiding any legislative vacuum. We encourage the team for the efficient manner in which it is operating. We also understand that, once the provisional self-government is in place, UNMIK will hand over authority to it, while retaining some competencies for the Special Representative, as specified in resolution 1244 (1999).”

“I thank the representative of Ukraine for his kinds words addressed to me. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Mauritius. We would like to join previous speakers in thanking Mr. Jean-Marie Guehenno for introducing the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and for his comprehensive and very useful briefing this morning. We congratulate the people of Kosovo on the successful organization of the elections in their province. We hope that the Assembly members will soon elect their President and that the provisional institutions of self-government can assume full responsibility over areas under their authority. This is a very crucial moment, when members of the Assembly need to work constructively in a spirit of patriotism.”

“With the guidance for Member States in the preparation of their respective national reports, and the appointment of a pool of experts to assist the Committee as well as Member States requiring assistance in various fields in the implementation process, we are convinced that the mandate of the Committee, as set out in the resolution, will be fulfilled within the prescribed time frame. Since terrorism strikes at the very heart of everything for which the United Nations stands and represents a global threat to democracy, the rule of law, human rights and stability, a truly concerted international effort to combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations is what we require. The Committee can be an important tool in this regard, and we are pleased to see that it is resolved to fulfil its mandate in the most dedicated manner.”

“My delegation strongly supports all the regional approaches adopted thus far in addressing these issues, as required under paragraph 4 of resolution 1373 (2001). My delegation fully supports the methodology of work adopted by the Committee. The transparency and even-handedness that have now become the rule of thumb of the work of the Committee give the necessary assurance to Member States that all norms of objectivity and impartiality are being strictly observed and applied. The Committee, being only a monitoring body, is not here to pass judgement or to be interpreted as a police force. It is a working organism, as the Chairman rightly pointed out in his briefing, to assist States in the implementation of all the provisions of resolution 1373 (2001).”

“They also agreed to cooperate at all levels in the exchange of information and the identification of persons, institutions and networks associated with terrorism, and to prevent SADC members from being used as bases or support centres for groups of individuals involved in terrorist acts. The fight against international terrorism is indeed peculiar in that it requires close cooperation within and among regions on related issues, such as the suppression of drug trafficking, traffic in small arms and light weapons and money-laundering. We believe a strong commitment to addressing the problem of poverty would be helpful as a priority, since poverty is one of the breeding grounds for terrorism in most cases.”

“On a regional basis, at the meeting of the Committee of Ministers of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Organ on Politics, Defence and Security, held in Luanda, Angola, on 18 December 2001, Mauritius, along with other SADC members, underscored the need for regional mechanisms and a coordinated approach to the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001). As parties to the Luanda Declaration, member States unequivocally condemned all acts of terrorism and undertook to accede or ratify international instruments on combating terrorism, adopted by the Organization of African Unity and the United Nations, and to incorporate them into domestic laws.”

“In this regard, we are cooperating fully with the international and regional organizations for the implementation of the relevant international and regional conventions relating to terrorism. In March this year, the National Assembly of Mauritius will consider the Prevention of Terrorism Bill, the Financial Intelligence and Anti-Money-Laundering Bill, and the Criminal and Related Matters (Mutual Assistance) Bill. The Prevention of Terrorism Bill includes all the provisions of resolution 1373 (2001) in the fight against terrorism. We are convinced that the proposed bills will consolidate the measures already in place for dealing with terrorist acts and their financing.”

“This is a fight in which all States need to act promptly and decisively. Failure on the part of one State can break the chain of support that the international community desperately needs in order to combat - by all means and in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations - the threat to international peace and security posed by terrorist acts. All States should, therefore, collaborate fully in the implementation of the provisions of the resolution and put in place necessary mechanisms at the national level with a view to ridding the world of the scourge of international terrorism. At the national level in my country, every effort is geared towards the prevention and suppression of terrorist acts.”

“The large number of reports received to date reflects the seriousness of the issue and also the dedication and commitment of Member States to the implementation of the provisions of resolution 1373 (2001). This shows the strong and resolute determination of one and all to do away with the plague that international terrorism represents. However, we cannot be complacent. As one of the major threats to humanity, terrorism has made our task more daunting. We are confident that by 27 March 2002, the review of the first set of reports will be completed. In this regard, my delegation urges those States that have not yet submitted their national reports to do so expeditiously. Combating international terrorism will not be easy without a comprehensive and collective plan of action.”

“We came to realize that no country, whether big or small, rich or poor, developed or developing, could ensure its security from such dastardly attacks carried out by terrorists. International terrorism has, therefore, become a pressing, complex and unpredictable global challenge that needs urgent attention at all levels. Security Council resolution 1373 (2001), which is a binding and mandatory collective approach to ridding the world of the scourge of terrorism, is a most appropriate step in that regard, and it requires unanimous support by all of us. The overwhelming response from States within the targeted time limit for the submission of national reports, is a feat in itself.”

“I thank the representative of Mexico for his kind words addressed to me. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Mauritius. First of all, I would like to thank the Chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Committee, Ambassador Greenstock, for his comprehensive and informative briefing on the work of the Committee. We would like to join other delegations in paying special tribute to him for the excellent work he is doing in the Committee. The 11 September attacks proved once again that combating international terrorism is not only important in its own right, but also remains the main priority of the international community, regional organizations and individual States.”
