1. “As proudly proclaimed in its charter, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations is a regional organization committed to international cooperation for peace, security, stability, justice and development. With deep gratitude for all the assistance, partnership and cooperation rendered to ASEAN over the years, all of us in ASEAN share the determination to work with each other, with other countries and with organizations like the United Nations to solve the many problems presently faced by the world and advance the cause of international peace, security and development.”

2. “In particular, the ASEAN Regional Forum is the primary forum for enhancing political and security dialogue and cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. The recently adopted ARF Vision Statement 2020 envisions the ARF developing partnership and networks of cooperation with various security organizations and forums and with international organizations in order to create synergies among them. ASEAN was granted observer status in the General Assembly on 4 December 2006. The two organizations have also signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation, which provides an important framework for further enhancing ASEAN- United Nations relations and cooperation and allowing ASEAN to make greater contributions to the work of the United Nations and to the promotion of peace, stability and development in the world.”

3. “In this context, it is pertinent to have systematic cooperation between ASEAN and its member States and the United Nations system. In the face of strategic gaps in international support to peacebuilding, enhancing cooperation between the United Nations and regional actors to draw on each others' comparative advantages is key. ASEAN has worked actively to foster good relationships with other countries and groupings by developing dialogue partnerships with the latter. Within the Asia-Pacific region, ASEAN is at the centre of various important regional organizations, such as the ASEAN+3 process, the East Asia Summit and the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), all of which serve to promote a region of peace and stability.”

4. “Besides giving ASEAN a legal personality, the charter will enhance its institutional accountability and decision-making mechanism, and transform ASEAN into a more effective, cohesive and rules-based organization. ASEAN is striving to become, by 2015, a community with three main pillars: political-security, economic and sociocultural. At the ASEAN summit in early 2009, ASEAN leaders adopted a road map for an ASEAN community 2009-2015, which consists of blueprints for realizing goals and targets for all three pillars. The ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC) contributes to promoting peace and security in the wider Asia-Pacific region. The APSC seeks to enhance peace and security through an effective conflict prevention and resolution mechanism and peacekeeping activities.”

5. “International organizations, including United Nations agencies, should work with these initiatives, strengthen their regional capacities and encourage mutual learning. Thirdly, enhancing information exchange, delineating clear areas of responsibility, respecting local ownership of any arrangement for cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, and ensuring their full implementation are also important conditions for fostering effective partnerships. As an important mechanism for strengthening peace, friendship and cooperation in South-East Asia, ASEAN has attached great importance to fostering its institutional framework. A historic milestone was reached in the evolution of ASEAN when its charter entered into force in December 2008.”

6. “Indeed, regional organizations can play an important role in promoting and maintaining peace and security in their respective regions, through, inter alia, regional dispute settlement mechanisms. Within ASEAN, for example, we have the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation l0-20793 in Southeast Asia as such a framework. Such regional dispute settlement arrangements should be complemented by political, financial and physical support from the international community, as appropriate. Secondly, regional initiatives have flourished in every part of the world, launched at different scales and covering different fields, depending on their regional particularities and needs. Such initiatives encourage dialogue and consultation, reduce misunderstanding and create channels for cooperative projects.”

7. “ASEAN shares belief that there is a need to take stock of all the discussions and activities in this respect with a view to carefully considering the development of an effective mechanism that facilitates the fullest contribution of regional organizations to the work of the United Nations, including the appropriate capacity- building assistance to regional organizations in the performance of their roles. To further strengthen cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, ASEAN is convinced of the following. First, cooperation in the maintenance of international peace and security should take advantage of the complementary capacities and comparative advantages of all organizations, making full use of their experience, in accordance with the United Nations Charter and the statutes of regional organizations.”

8. “Since then, the Council has engaged in activities aimed at stepping up such cooperation, culminating in the adoption of resolution 1809 (2008) which, while focusing on specific measures to strengthen cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union, expresses its determination to take effective measures to further enhance the relationship between the United Nations and regional organizations in accordance with Chapter VIII of the Charter of the Organization.”

9. “In such a world, there is a great need to foster a stronger partnership between the United Nations and regional organizations in responding to the challenges arising from both traditional and non-traditional security issues. At the 2005 World Summit, heads of State and Government expressed their resolve to expand consultation and cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations through formalized agreements and, as appropriate, the involvement of regional organizations in the work of the Security Council. In October 2005, the Council adopted its first resolution on regional organizations, expressing its determination to take appropriate steps to promote cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations.”

We wish them a speedy recovery. In our ever more complex and interconnected world, marked by an unprecedented level of interdependence and where peace and cooperation for development remain the dominant trend, cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations is crucial and beneficial not only to safeguarding peace and security but also to 8 development.”

We congratulate China on assuming the presidency of the Council for January 2010. We thank you, Mr. President, and the Chinese delegation for taking the initiative of convening the Council's open debate today on this very important issue.”

12. “We also hold that the international community should be cautious about imposing further sanctions, with a view to avoiding undesired adverse impacts on humanitarian activities and the livelihoods of the people of Eritrea. The Council should keep the situation under constant review for possible modification or lifting of sanctions measures in the light of positive developments on the ground.”

Viet Nam has been consistent in its position that international conflicts, including those originating from border disputes, should be resolved by peaceful means and in compliance with international law and the Charter of the United Nations.”

14. “I maintain, however, that the spirit of targeted sanctions should be fully preserved so as to avoid adverse impacts on the livelihoods of civilians and that all sanctions regimes be reviewed and ultimately lifted once the underlying reasons for the imposition of such sanctions are no longer valid. Given the prevailing trend of peace and reconciliation in Sierra Leone, the Council may wish to initiate such a process and dialogue after the trials of Charles Taylor. 09-64650 In conclusion, I wish to thank all members of the Council for their support and cooperation in helping us to fulfil our duty. I also express my appreciation to the Security Council Subsidiary Organs Branch in the Department of Political Affairs, in particular Mr. Kiho Cha, for their untiring assistance to the work of the Committee and the Chairman.”

15. “In 2009, although no meetings were held, the Committee continued to maintain positive cooperation with the Special Court of Sierra Leone and issued a waiver of the travel ban against five former members of the RUF convicted by the Court so that they might serve their sentences in Rwanda. Sierra Leone is now at a critical juncture of post- conflict peacebuilding, with many challenges ahead. The United Nations, regional organizations and Member States have a role to play in helping Sierra Leone to better fulfil its responsibilities under relevant Security Council resolutions, taking into due account the fundamental principles of respect for the political independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Sierra Leone.”

16. “In June 2008, upon the request of the Government of Sierra Leone and in light of overall developments in the country, the Committee held informal consultations to remove the names of 24 individuals from the list of those affected by the travel ban restrictions imposed by paragraph 5 of resolution 1171 (1998). The Chairman of the Committee addressed a letter to the Permanent Representative of Sierra Leone to the United Nations informing him of the Committee's decision, and then conveyed the latter's letter of request to the President of the Security Council for the attention and appropriate action of the Council.”

17. “In a letter dated 7 January 2008, the Chairman of the Committee informed the Registrar of the Special Court for Sierra Leone of the adoption by the Security Council of resolution 1793 (2007), whereby the Council decided to exempt from the travel restrictions the travel of any witnesses whose presence at trial before the Court is required. In the same letter, the Chairman sought the agreement of the Court on notification procedures for the travel of listed individuals, which would be modelled upon those agreed between the Court and the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1521 (2003) concerning Liberia.”

18. “As of December 2009, the work of the Committee has been confined to tasks related to the embargo on the export of weapons to non-State actors in Sierra Leone and the travel ban imposed on individuals included on the Committee's list, who currently number six. Unlike some other sanctions bodies, the Committee has neither a panel of experts nor a monitoring group. During the time of Viet Nam's chairmanship, while there have been no violations of the sanctions regime, a number of notifications of arms exports to Sierra Leone were brought to the attention of the Committee in a timely manner, in accordance with 09-64650 paragraph 4 of resolution 1171 (1998).”

19. “It is in that context that the relevant functions and activities of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1132 (1997) concerning Sierra Leone have evolved. The Council originally mandated the Committee to oversee the implementation of the sanctions measures set out in that resolution, which consist of an arms embargo on non-governmental forces in Sierra Leone and travel restrictions on members of the former military junta and of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF). The Committee was assigned amended mandates in resolution 1171 (1998) and then adapted its work with the lifting of the ban on the export of diamonds from Sierra Leone since 2003.”

20. “The Government has proceeded with its Agenda for Change, and incremental results have been achieved in the areas of combating corruption, reforming the security sector, creating jobs and empowering youth. The cooperation between Sierra Leone and the United Nations country team, the Peacebuilding Commission and other development partners has been further strengthened within the framework of the United Nations peacebuilding strategy for Sierra Leone and the Joint Vision of the United Nations family for Sierra Leone. However, Sierra Leone today is facing the emerging threats of piracy, drug trafficking, illegal trade in natural resources, uncontrolled migration to urban centres and other adverse effects of the global financial downturn, all of which have the potential to create an environment conducive to violence and instability.”

21. “In my capacity as Chairman of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1132 (1997) concerning Sierra Leone, I would like to report to the Council on the work of the Committee during the period of 2008-2009 and share my assessment on the way forward. Since the adoption of resolution 1132 (1997), Sierra Leone has achieved tangible progress in the course of peace consolidation, socio-economic 2 reconstruction and international reintegration. Despite the still fragile security situation, which requires sustained attention, the parties in Sierra Leone remain committed to a cessation of all acts of political violence and to a bipartisan consensus on important national policies.”

The High-Level Panel's report (S/2009/599, annex I), adopted by the AU Peace and Security Council, stresses the need to strengthen the Sudan's national legal system, to deal appropriately with the perpetrators of crimes, and to make reparations to the victims inside the Sudan. We note the ICC Prosecutor's efforts to cooperate with the AU High-Level Panel, and we encourage his further 09-6333] cooperation with the AU high-level implementation panel aimed at achieving the above-mentioned objective.”

24. “At the same time, we consider that, as those tribunals are courts of last resort, it is essential to respect the primary role of national jurisdictions and to render capacity-building assistance to national judiciaries, as necessary, in order to enable them to take up their judicial responsibilities. Viet Nam is concerned about the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Darfur and the alleged commission of serious crimes against civilians. We support the efforts of the African Union (AU) to engage with the Sudanese Government in deploying the seven-track solution package to achieve peace, security and reconciliation in Darfur.”

And I thank Mr. Luis Moreno-Ocampo for his briefing to the Council. Viet Nam has always maintained that the perpetrators of the most serious crimes - such as genocide, war crimes, crimes of aggression and crimes against humanity - must be brought to justice. In the fight against such heinous crimes, we recognize and support the role and contributions of the international criminal tribunals.”

26. “Before concluding, I wish to express our high appreciation of the work of the Council's Informal Working Group on international tribunals concerning a possible residual mechanism to replace the ICTY and the ICTR in their post-completion period. The Working Group has been able to reach numerous common understandings providing the basic elements of an initial draft resolution on such a residual mechanism. Viet Nam encourages the Working Group to continue its deliberations, in close collaboration with the Tribunals, to finalize the draft resolution.”

We urge the Tribunals to take all necessary measures to meet the requirements of the completion strategies, and we call on all Member States to extend full cooperation with a view to helping the Tribunals with an early completion of their work. We support all efforts aimed at strengthening competent national judicial systems to facilitate the transfer of cases involving intermediate- and lower- rank indictees, including fugitives, from the Tribunals to national jurisdictions.”

While making efforts to complete a large amount of trial work, both Tribunals have also undertaken measures, as recommended by the Secretary-General, in preparations for the transition to the residual mechanism. In adopting resolution 1534 (2004), the Security Council expressed its determination to review the implementation of the Tribunals' completion strategies and to ensure that the timeframes set out in the completion strategies and endorsed by resolution 1503 (2003) would be met. At present, both Tribunals estimate their completion date of all appeals to be between the end of 2012 and mid-2013.”

We commend the significant efforts undertaken by the Government of Kenya to prosecute suspected pirates captured by the international community in its national courts. We also urge all States, especially those directly harmed by piracy, to provide the Kenyan Government with the logistical and financial support to address the challenges of prosecuting suspected pirates.

At the regional level, we welcome the adoption of the Djibouti Code of Conduct on the Repression of Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden, and we are convinced that full implementation of the Djibouti Code of Conduct will enable States in the region to develop appropriate regulatory and legislative frameworks to combat piracy, enhance their capacity to patrol the waters of the region, intercept suspected vessels and prosecute suspected pirates.”

34. “Against this backdrop, enhanced coordination among the international stakeholders, regional organizations and the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) is crucial so as to prevent and suppress piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia. We find it encouraging that Member States operating in the territorial waters and high seas off the coast of Somalia have developed complex and comprehensive military naval operations and the necessary coordination mechanisms. We believe the Contact Group for Piracy Off the Coast of Somalia with its four supporting working groups is an effective international cooperation mechanism and a common point of contact between and among States, regional and international organizations on all aspects of the fight against piracy.”

I also welcome the participation of His Excellency, Ambassador Duale of Somalia in the Council's meeting today. Viet Nam remains deeply concerned about piracy off the coast of Somalia. There has been no significant change in the number of incidents along the East African coastline, and more dangerously, there has been a recent surge of alleged attempts and attacks in the Western Indian Ocean, in which more sophisticated methods and techniques have been employed.”

In designing such measures, the methodologies used in collecting accurate, timely and reliable information from the field should be carefully considered to ensure effectiveness and efficiency. The Council and other United Nations bodies should adhere to their lines of responsibility and make the best use of existing mechanisms, with a view to avoiding duplication, thus contributing to the best possible performance of the entire United Nations system.”

The United Nations, regional organizations and the international community have an important role to play in supporting and assisting Member States, particularly through political mediation and humanitarian assistance. In this connection, the engagement and cooperation with national Governments is vital. Coordination and cooperation among United Nations entities should also be further strengthened, particularly among OCHA, United Nations missions and country teams. We are convinced that the issue of protection of civilians in armed conflict should be approached from a holistic perspective.”

We condemn all those inhumane acts against civilians and call on all parties to conflicts to strictly comply with their obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law to protect civilians in armed conflict. To ensure favourable conditions for and the effectiveness of the delivery of humanitarian assistance to civilians in armed conflict, we emphasize the need to respect and strictly observe the principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence in the provision of such assistance.”

We remain concerned about the indiscriminate and excessive use of force against civilians, the widespread attacks against schools, hospitals and other civilian targets, as well as other violations resulting in numerous deaths, injuries and suffering of innocent civilians. We strongly condemn the use of civilians as human shields during conflicts. It is alarming that the number of refugees and displaced persons as a result of conflicts now totals nearly 40 million, causing considerable social and economic difficulties for the host countries and localities.”
