“Finally, we share the Secretary-General's observation that peacekeeping is merely part of a political solution, not an alternative to it. Adequate attention should be paid to preventive diplomacy, early warning, conflict prevention and mediation. Lessons from Kenya, Darfur, Mauritania, Zimbabwe, Madagascar and many other flashpoints in Africa have shown the importance of early warning and mediation in preventing and resolving local conflicts. Apart from pooling resources for peacekeeping operations, earmarking sufficient resources for socio- economic development to address the root causes of conflicts on that continent must be considered a priority because it is the only way to prevent the recurrence of conflicts and sustain peace and stability where it they have been hard-earned.”

We call on all able donor countries to extend necessary financial and logistical resources to facilitate the implementation of present and future AU peacekeeping operations authorized by the United Nations.

“We note with appreciation that a mechanism for joint annual meetings between the Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council has been established and implemented for the past three years. We support ongoing efforts to promote information exchange and cooperation between the United Nations Secretariat and the African Union Commission. Due to its limited resources and capacity, the African Union has faced tremendous difficulties in carrying out peacekeeping operations authorized by the United Nations. Further support should be extended to ensure the successful finalization of the United Nations-African Union 10-year capacity-building programme. The efforts made by the African Union, with the support of the United Nations, to build, over the long term, the African Standby Force, should also be recognized and encouraged.”

“Endowed with its comparative advantage and valuable experiences and lessons accumulated through decades of carrying out peacekeeping operations in Africa, the African Union is capable of making important contributions to the success of any United Nations-authorized joint peacekeeping operation on the African continent. Finding ways and means to effectively support AU peacekeeping operations will add value to the Security Council's task of maintaining international peace and security. Enhanced dialogue and close consultation in their respective decision-making processes between the United Nations and the African Union should be further promoted, especially between the Security Council and the AU Commission. This cooperation can range from conflict analysis to strategy development and the operational planning of peacekeeping activities.”

We fully support the promotion of the strategic partnership between the United Nations and the African Union in the area of peacekeeping, in accordance with Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter, resolution 1809 (2008) and relevant presidential statements of the Security Council. Since the adoption of resolution 1809 (2008) in April 2008, considerable progress has been made in United Nations-AU cooperation and partnership in this field.”

Apart from the intensified efforts required of the Government and the people of Timor-Leste, the international community needs to continue to be committed to the cause of peace and development in the country, with priority given to strengthening the security sector and improving basic education, health care and nutrition, child protection and rural development aimed at meeting internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals.”

“We highly appreciate the efforts of UNMIT in carrying out its mandate of providing assistance to Timor-Leste, including in maintaining public security, organizing local elections, and implementing legal and police capacity-building projects with a view to helping the National Police of Timor-Leste (PNTL) assume its responsibilities through a gradual and phased process. In this connection, we welcome the smooth handover of primary policing responsibilities in three districts and at the Police Training Center from UNMIT to the Government of Timor-Leste. We are convinced that reviews of this initial step by relevant agencies will produce useful lessons on how to proceed more effectively in the next stages of the transfer of police responsibility to the PNTL, ultimately leading to full ownership by Timor-Leste of its peace process.”

“We commend the Government of Timor-Leste and President Jose' Ramos-Horta personally for their commitment to strengthening national unity by building consensus; enhancing political dialogue, consultation, reconciliation and mediation; and promoting progress in addressing the situation of internally displaced persons, a major issue resulting from the 2006 crisis. These measures, together with the endorsed parliamentary plans to intensify administrative and legislative reforms, combat corruption and enhance capacity, will enable State institutions to better discharge their challenging tasks ahead with broader public support. The active and constructive participation of people from all walks of life in Timor-Leste in the country's political process is more than ever of colossal significance in implementing these measures.”

“We are encouraged by the efforts of the Government and people of Timor-Leste, especially in maintaining an overall calm public security situation conducive to the realization of the country's political, social and economic objectives. The period under review has seen, inter alia, the achievement of over 60 per cent of the socio-economic development targets set for the first and second quarters of this year, the successful commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the popular consultation, visibly improved legislative processes, continued dialogue and reconciliation, and the holding of elections at the local level. These results have been made possible thanks, first of all, to the strong determination of the Government and people of Timor-Leste to move the national peace and development process forward.”

As a comprehensive and long-term solution to the situation in Kosovo has yet to be achieved, Viet Nam believes that the continued engagement of UNMIK with all sides remains crucial at this juncture, as it could facilitate the attainment of concrete progress and the fruitful implementation of arrangements that can be acceptable and beneficial to both Belgrade and Pristina. The increasing contribution of EULEX to the areas of police, courts, customs, transportation and infrastructure, boundary management and protection of Serbian patrimony has already shown positive results and should be encouraged.”
