  1. “Ms. Lajous (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): Before I begin my statement, I should like to welcome the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Norway, Mr. Jan Petersen, and to express once again to him my country's support for the Norwegian presidency of the Security Council. Mexico is confident that Norway's enlightened and committed foreign policy will successfully guide the work of this body. I also thank you, Mr. Minister, for your words of tribute to Mexico's presidency of the Security Council during the month of February. Mexico would like also to join those delegations that have praised the work done by Mr. Wolfgang Petritsch as High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We also welcome Lord Ashdown, who shortly will assume the office of High Representative.”

  2. “We firmly believe that one of the things UNMIK can do to help normalize life in the province is to oversee the establishment of an educational system in Kosovo that encourages a culture of coexistence between the various ethnic groups and respect for their various expressions.”

  3. “Mexico supports and believes in the ability of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to carry that process forward. Another way in which it could help to achieve this would be to implement the agreement with the International Commission on Missing Persons so as to advance in the identification of the missing. Mexico is proud to be a multi-ethnic country, one in which various ethnic groups live together and in which there are 56 living indigenous languages. An educational system that encourages tolerance and respect for the mosaic of our various ethnic identities is one of the factors that has contributed to coexistence and national integration.”

  4. “To that end, we must encourage respect and mutual tolerance that will permeate the executive functions of the officials of local self-government. In this connection, Mexico would stress the progress made in strengthening the structures of the domestic judiciary, as referred to in paragraph 25 of the Secretary- General's report. The rule of law is the best way to combat organized crime, which flourishes wherever there is a vacuum in the judiciary and, by extension, in the power structure. One pending task is the return of all refugees and displaced persons to their places of origin and homes. That will offer the greatest proof that the various political forces representing all ethnic groups have achieved harmony within the province.”

  5. “The States Members of this Organization can be proud of all that has been achieved, although much remains to be done. The most important task is to complete the training and preparation of local administrators to assume control of the institutions of self-government. UNMIK deserves ample recognition for its work, but its responsibilities must in no way be considered permanent or long-term. My Government welcomes the outcome of the 17 November election and the launching of the work of the Assembly. We trust that it will soon be possible to establish provisional self-government in accordance with Security Council resolution 1244 (1999). We also strongly hope that those in charge of self-government will work in a spirit of inter-community tolerance.”

  6. “In 1999, I was Mexico's Ambassador to Austria and visited the Kosovar refugee camps there in order to report back to my Government. I remember very clearly that, despite the enormous efforts of the Austrian Government, the European Union and the international community as a whole to support the thousands of displaced persons, their anguish touched the entire world. I recall the uncertainty on the faces of men and women who did not know when or how they would ever be able to return home. Today, thanks to the work of the United Nations, it is possible for an ever increasing number of such people - which we hope to see increase further - to return to their homes. Thanks to UNMIK, it has been possible to normalize life in all their communities.”

  7. “Ms. Lajous (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, my delegation wishes to thank the Secretary- General for his report on the activities of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) over the past three months. The report clearly describes progress made during that period and the challenges that must be addressed in the immediate future. Mexico also extends its deep thanks for the work done by Mr. Haekkerup at the helm of UNMIK and to all the staff of the Mission for their excellent work, undertaken with the support of several non- governmental and regional organizations. The international community still remembers the suffering of the Kosovars during their painful flight not long ago, when they had to leave their homes and fight for their survival.”

  8. “We express our support for the recommendations contained in the Mitchell report aimed at putting an end to violence, at restoring confidence between the parties and at resuming the peace negotiations immediately. Moreover, we join in the appeal for the establishment of monitoring machinery as proposed by the Group of 8, to help the parties in the implementation of the recommendations of that report, and we reiterate our belief that it will be possible to achieve a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, but only through dialogue and negotiation.”

  9. “For many years we have maintained that over and above the age-old rivalry and over and above the harm that one of the parties may have incurred from the other, it must be understood that belonging to the same region inevitably requires peaceful coexistence and mutual respect as indispensable guidelines for peace. We have recognized, in particular, the right of all States in the region to live in peace within secure and internationally recognized borders and the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and independence. Accordingly, today, we urge the parties to the conflict to give proof of moderation and to resume immediately the peace negotiations guided by the principles to which they themselves have agreed.”

  10. “Ms. Lajous (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): First of all, allow me, Mr. President, to congratulate you on the way you have been conducting the work of this historic session. The Government of Mexico observes with growing concern the re-emergence of violence in the Middle East that today is threatening to spread. We deplore the irreparable loss of human life, most of these people being innocent civilians, and we reiterate our firm belief that violence only begets further violence. The peace process begun in Madrid and Oslo had a promising start, fostering hope within the international community that at last there would be a solution to a conflict that has accompanied the United Nations since its creation. However, the current stagnation is a cause of dismay for peace-loving countries such as Mexico.”
