“In his letter of 13 June addressed to you, Mr. President, the Chairman of the CTC concretely and clearly described the situation and the prospects for the work of the Committee on this question. The work of the Committee promotes the establishment of a solid basis for the comprehensive implementation of the provisions of resolution 1373 (2001). We believe that we in the CTC are providing a clear confirmation of the effective discharge by the Security Council of its major functions as the body that is responsible, under the Charter of the United Nations, for the maintenance of international peace and security. Russia in future will take an active part in the work of the Committee. In conclusion, I should like to thank the delegations that have warmly commended the work of the Bureau of the CTC.”

“The Committee, in essence, is entering into a new phase of its work, in which its major task will be to study the additional reports submitted by States in response to requests by the Committee. Of course, it is important at this stage to define and clarify the ways and means and methods that will guide the Committee in making recommendations, in order to eliminate any gaps or flaws. We are convinced that the success of this work is guaranteed, given the dedication of the Council and the Committee as well as the overall clear understanding that the CTC will not function as a punitive body or overstep the bounds of its mandate. This is especially important with respect to the involvement in the work of the CTC of those States that, for one reason or another, have not yet submitted reports to it pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001).”

“First of all, it has undertaken a comprehensive analysis of the reports submitted to it on the counter-terrorism measures of various countries, and secondly, it is seeking concrete ways and means to provide advice and technical assistance to those States that need such assistance in order to comply with their obligations under resolution 1373 (2001). We welcome the Committee's intention to focus in particular on cooperation with regional and subregional organizations in the fight against terrorism. We believe that cooperation between the CTC and the Commonwealth of Independent States anti-terrorism centre and the regional anti-terrorist structure of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization would prove very fruitful. We support the programme of work of the CTC for the fourth 90-day period.”

“Mr. Lavrov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): I would like first of all to associate myself with the words of appreciation that have been expressed to the Chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC), Ambassador Greenstock, and to thank him both for the comprehensive account of what has been done by the Committee that he has headed for the past nine months, and for the efforts that he personally has been making in order to guarantee such results. Thanks to the energetic work being carried out openly by the CTC under the auspices of the United Nations, an unprecedented global system to combat terrorism is being created. We very much appreciate the fact that in carrying out its work, the Committee has knitted together all areas of its activity into one organic whole.”

“We would also like to recall that, in our meeting last April (see S/PV.4518), both Mr. Michael Steiner and Nebojsa Covic' put forth the idea that the Security Council should once again send a mission to Kosovo. In considering that idea, we should of course bear in mind the optimal time for such a mission. A Council mission could help give Council members a closer and more complete picture of the real situation in the province at this stage, as well as of the dynamics of its development.”

“The leadership of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo should realize the unquestioned legitimacy of the demarcation process, and of the border itself, and that the process has the support of the Security Council. We have only the technical aspects to settle with regard to implementing that bilateral Agreement between two sovereign States, an Agreement that has received the full support of the Security Council. Of course, those technical aspects should be worked out between the authorities of Yugoslavia and Macedonia. As far as the Kosovo portion of the border is conerned, it should be dealt with by the United Nations Mission in Kosovo. We believe Mr. Steiner should now accelerate the commencement of work on the demarcation of the border between Yugoslavia and Macedonia and the Kosovo part of that border.”

“We also call on the Special Representative and all his colleagues to work vigorously to prevent any attempt to use the benchmarks to put forth slogans on independence, as well as to prevent any provocative activities similar to the well known decisions adopted by the Kosovo Assembly in May of this year - decisions which of course have no legal force whatever. It is also important to continue monitoring the activities of the Kosovo Protection Corps. Another matter that also requires a final solution is the demarcation of the borders, pursuant to the Agreement of 23 February 2001 between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Macedonia.”

“Michael Steiner have in fact been recognized as being tasks needed to ensure conditions in the province conducive to a normal life for all. I would once again like to emphasize that those benchmarks can in no way be regarded as any sort of road map to independence for Kosovo. In fact, at our meeting in April we achieved a clear understanding in that regard with Mr. Steiner. We support efforts to gain positive experiences in self-governance and to establish sound and solid relations between Belgrade and Pristina. That policy should be clearly reflected in the practical activities of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo.”

“However, while pointing out the positive steps that have been taken, we must note that the basic problems of a settlement to the Kosovo question have hardly been solved - namely, the ongoing problem of ensuring safety for all the inhabitants of the province and the establishment of an atmosphere that truly allows for significant minority returns. That also includes continuing the fight against organized crime and extremism on the basis of decisions taken by the Special Representative. Of course, we still also face urgent social and economic problems. All of this falls within the purview of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo, the Security Council and the Special Representative. But we must truly make further efforts to achieve the relevant goals. The benchmarks set out two months ago at our meeting with Mr.”

“We would also like to note the progress made in determining the fate of missing persons. In that regard, we encourage all communities to cooperate with UNMIK. We support efforts by Belgrade and UNMIK to find a solution to the problems in Mitrovica. It seems that those efforts are beginning to yield their first fruits. In our opinion, the idea proposed by Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Covie to decentralize authority is serious evidence that Belgrade is truly seeking a constructive solution to this problem. I reaffirm in this regard that there is no violent solution to the problem of Mitrovica is possible.”

“Guehenno. As I understand it, at least one of those arrested is well known, Mr. Haradinaj. More than a year ago in this very Chamber, my delegation distributed information showing that KFOR already had facts in its possession that confirmed that this individual have been directly involved in crimes. A decision could therefore had been taken far earlier; but better late than never. We repeat: encourage these efforts by the United Nations and UNMIK. We would also like to highlight the dedication to peace and religious tolerance demonstrated by the Head of the Mission, Mr. Steiner, and by Prime Minister Rexhepi by taking part in the Orthodox Easter service celebrated in the Pee Patriarchate. This is in fact what is so sorely lacking in the current relations between the representatives of the various ethnic groups in Kosovo.”

“Mr. Lavrov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We are grateful to Under-Secretary-General Jean-Marie Guehenno for his clear and comprehensive briefing. Two months ago, in April, there was a comprehensive consideration here of the situation in Kosovo, and as we see it, what we have just heard shows that over these past two months some practical steps have been implemented which were designed to further compliance with the goals of resolution 1244 (1999). We point out in particular the reaffirmation of candidacies of the Serbian Return Coalition to posts in the Kosovo government. We should also encourage the efforts of UNMIK and the Kosovo forces in strengthening law and order and rendering justice, including the investigation of crimes committed by the fighters of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army, which was just mentioned by Mr.”

“We believe that the priority task at this stage is the development of machinery for the parties' compliance with existing Security Council resolutions. That guides the efforts of the "quartet". The coming meeting of the "quartet" on 14 June in Washington should be an important step in efforts designed to dissolve the tensions in Palestinian-Israeli relations and to establish the conditions for moving to a political settlement, including through holding an international conference on the Middle East. The Security Council's task is to help in these efforts in every way possible and to ensure it the support of the international community. Attempts to use the Council Chamber for mutual recrimination and all types of argumentation is counterproductive.”

“To that end, the Russian Government is in constant contact with the Israeli and Palestinian representatives and the leaders of the Middle Eastern States. The special representative of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation is in the region almost constantly. The situation was discussed comprehensively within the framework of the meeting of the G-8 Foreign Ministers meeting of 12 June, held in Canada. During the past month the Security Council has adopted several decisions that have set out the road map for overcoming the crisis and for stabilizing the situation, as well as for moving towards a political settlement, including the establishment of a Palestinian State to exist peacefully alongside Israel with internationally recognized borders.”

“Mr. Lavrov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): Israeli and Palestinian relations continue to deteriorate. The suicide attacks against Israeli civilians and the Israeli reprisals against Palestinians, which have led to the death of people, are only strengthening the logic of confrontation. This does not help ensure security for both sides or their legitimate interests. Furthermore, all this seriously complicates efforts to achieve a political settlement ofthe crisis. The most serious concern has been raised by the humanitarian disaster in the Palestinian territory. As a sponsor of the peace process and an active participant of the "quartet" of international mediators, Russia is undertaking energetic steps to remove Israeli and Palestinian relations from the vicious circle of confrontation.”

“They must provide this kind of coordination and interaction in their day-to-day activities. Russia will continue to lend assistance for the economic recovery of Afghanistan. During the first stage of the humanitarian operation, we gave Afghanistan assistance totalling more than $12 million. The new stage will see the participation of Russian specialists and companies in rebuilding and repairing more than 140 industrial and agricultural facilities that were built in Afghanistan from 1960 to 1980 with the assistance of the Soviet Union.”

“For its part, Russia has often said that it would be willing to develop military and technical cooperation, including participation in helping to build a national armed force and the law enforcement organs of Afghanistan. Again, we reaffirm that work in this area should not become an arena for competition, rivalry or any clash of interests. Otherwise, the long-term prospects for the peaceful rebuilding of Afghanistan could once again come to naught. We are convinced that the United Nations should play a central role in establishing broad, international interaction and coordination throughout the territory of post-conflict Afghanistan. We attach great importance to the work of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), as well as the work done by the United Nations Special Representative for Afghanistan, Mr. Brahimi.”

“We attach great importance to the work of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in discharging the mandate adopted in Security Council resolution 1386 (2001). Today the Council adopted a resolution extending the mandate of this Force. We believe that ISAF is playing an important role in establishing tranquility in Kabul. We hope that it will provide meaningful support and assistance in establishing the normal functioning of the new transitional Government of the country. We need to focus over the long term on creating a truly Afghan army. During the Geneva donor conference specific thoughts were expressed regarding the reform of the Afghan security sector. We welcome the willingness of the international community to provide assistance to the Afghans in creating their army and security force.”

“But it is important that that opposition remains within the law and does not take up arms and create a coalition of malcontents. In our view, Afghanistan's neighbours could play a great role in preventing this kind of scenario. They have enough leverage on the provincial leaders for that. The potential of these countries should not be underestimated and, particularly, they should not be treated with disrespect. We agree that the security situation in Afghanistan remains acute. We receive regular reports. Today, once again, we heard this in Sir Kieran's briefing with regard to emerging pockets of conflict. Various ethnic groups, residual Taliban and members of Al-Qaeda terrorist groups participate in them.”

“That assassination clearly shows that there are still forces in Afghanistan that want to undermine the peace process. The information that we receive confirms that in a number of regions of Afghanistan, particularly in the eastern part of the country, there are groups that are unhappy with the current regime and are biding their time, waiting to emerge from the underground and actively join the struggle for power. In this connection, I wish to reiterate once again our appeal regarding the need to exclude the Taliban and their followers from participation in the future organs of State power. Clearly, after the loya jirga is held, there will be people who are not happy about the results of the elections to the interim government.”

“Mr. Lavrov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We are grateful to Under-Secretary-General Prendergast for his briefing on the situation in Afghanistan. We agree with his assessment that on the whole the peace process is moving forward. The Bonn Agreement is being successfully implemented. Preparations for holding the all-Afghan Special Independent Commission for the Convening of the Emergency Loya Jirga are under way, and it will elect the interim government in June. Of course, not everything is going smoothly. A lot remains to be done, including securing participation in the assembly of the representatives of all segments of Afghan society and adequate representation of all ethnic groups of the country. We learned with regret of the death in Ghowr province of the candidate elected to the loya jirga, Mr. Rahim.”

“The main issues at this point are to resolve the situation with respect to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem; to take urgent measures to rebuild the infrastructures of the Palestinian Authority; and to address the humanitarian crisis. Russia firmly believes that, along with these diplomatic efforts, we must take practical steps in order to find a way out of the Middle East tragedy on the basis of a resumption of a political process aimed at a settlement. That is the focus of the initiative to prepare for a peace conference in the Middle East, which was put forward on 2 May at the ministerial meeting of the "quartet" in Washington. Russia, as a co-sponsor of the peace process, will continue to be actively involved in those efforts.”

“Any double standard in this respect would simply undermine the authority of the Security Council and give rise to doubts on the part of the international community as to its ability to exercise its authority under the Charter of the United Nations in the area of the maintenance of international peace and security. We see no justification for the Israeli Government's refusal to accept the dispatch of a fact- finding team to the Jenin refugee camp, as proposed by the Secretary-General and endorsed in resolution 1405 (2002). We fully support the actions taken by the Secretary-General in that connection. Unfortunately, his efforts were not crowned with success, due to the stance taken by Israel.”

“People are dying and serious material damage is being done in the Palestinian territories, where a humanitarian tragedy is now unfolding. In order to normalize the situation, a multifaceted effort by the international community is needed. That was the focus of the Washington meeting, held on 2 May, of the "quartet" of international mediators at the ministerial level, in which the Secretary-General participated. The "quartet" came out strongly in favour of specific, urgent and collective action to restore peace to the region of the Middle East, on the basis of the implementation of Security Council resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973) and 1397 (2002), and of the Saudi Arabian initiative endorsed at the Arab summit in Beirut. Russia believes that all resolutions of the Security Council must be fully implemented.”

I wish also to associate myself with the words of tribute voiced by others to you and to the delegation of Singapore. We feel sure that under your guidance the work of the Council will proceed smoothly, and we will do our utmost to assist you in that respect. I should like also to thank all of those delegations that today expressed kind words to the Russian delegation in connection with our presidency of the Council last month. Once again we are considering the very serious situation prevailing in the Middle East. Unfortunately, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues.”

“In addition, it is essential to retain the current level of public services after independence. The deterioration of such services would hurt the most vulnerable and could constitute a blow to public confidence in the future State. To put it in a nutshell, the international community as a whole must continue to provide generous support for the rehabilitation, reconstruction and development of East Timor. Independence Day will mark a new era in East Timor and represent the fulfilment of the legitimate aspirations of an admirable people. It will also be a moment to reflect on the multiple challenges that lie ahead in making the independent State of East Timor work for each and every one of its citizens. Brazil is sure that democracy will flourish through the Vibrant participation of the people in the affairs of the community.”

“Our enthusiasm about East Timor's independence must not lead us to lose sight of the huge problems that await the future Government just around the corner. East Timor is a developing country, mired in poverty and in desperate need of international assistance. The high unemployment rate is unlikely to be reversed in the short run. The so-called windfall of gains from the exploitation of oil and gas in the Timor Gap will not come tomorrow or the day after. This is an area that requires investments that will only mature over time. In this context, it becomes even more pressing to continue to bring income-generating projects into operation, maintain the flow of international aid and create the conditions for sustainable development and good governance.”

“Moreover, the downsizing of the military and the civilian police components must be commensurate with the capacity of the East Timor Defence Force and the East Timor Police Service to provide external and internal security. I am confident that stability will be preserved in East Timor as democratic institutions mature and reconciliation efforts gain momentum. We must base decisions concerning the level of the force and the duration of its presence on a clear assessment of the concrete needs of the future sovereign State of East Timor. No one wants an open- ended mission in East Timor, let alone the perpetuation of dependency. A clear exit strategy is necessary, one that takes into account the need for capacity-building and does not jeopardize the progress achieved so far.”

“This will require securing a predictable source of funding. Brazil supports the establishment of a successor mission to UNTAET, as proposed by the Secretary- General, comprising military, civilian, and civilian police components. We will continue to participate in this effort not only with our troops, but also through the programmes developed under the umbrella of the Brazilian Agency for Cooperation. Given the limited pool of professional and administrative expertise in East Timor, it is particularly important that the civilian component include the 100 key functions within the administration to guarantee continuity and ensure on-the-job training for East Timorese officials.”

“We are approaching not the end of United Nations engagement in East Timor, but rather a new beginning that will require continued political commitment. At this critical moment, it is important to convey a clear message of encouragement and unflinching support for the East Timorese people. Independence Day, on 20 May, will mark the launching of a new phase in which our steadfast cooperation and support in a vast array of critical areas will be required to underpin the exercise of sovereignty by the East Timorese. The magnitude of the challenges facing this new nation calls for a generous pledge of assistance from the international community. We must ensure a smooth and seamless transition to independence, so as to preserve stability and security, as well as continuity in the public administration.”

His presence among us on the first day of this debate was an opportunity for the United Nations and the international community to pay tribute to his leadership role. Brazil joins its voice in greeting this extraordinary leader of the East Timorese people. We were also pleased to have among us Chief Minister Alkatiri. We admire his determined and dedicated leadership, which will continue to be crucial as he takes up the position of Prime Minister. The foundations of the future State of East Timor have now been established. Nevertheless, the tasks and the responsibilities of the United Nations in East Timor are by no means over.”

The Security Council will soon establish a new mission in East Timor, to be headed by our esteemed colleague, Ambassador Kamalesh Sharma, of India. We all admire his personal qualities, skills, intelligence and dedication to the cause of the United Nations. The East Timorese people could not rely on a better friend as they undertake their journey as an independent country. Brazil is delighted to join in celebrating the successful presidential elections held in East Timor. Xanana Gusmao had his charismatic leadership confirmed and blessed at the polls.”

As the mandate of the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) draws to a close, we have good reason to feel proud of the United Nations. I want to pay tribute to my fellow countryman, Sergio Vieira de Mello, who will be soon stepping down as Special Representative and Transitional Administrator. Under his competent and steady guidance, UNTAET turned out to be one of the most successful achievements of the United Nations. We are grateful for what Sergio and his staff were able to accomplish together with the people and the leadership of East Timor.”
