  1. “The primary task for participants in the International Conference, now and in the near future, will be to ratify the Pact and to begin the progressive implementation of decisions taken and arrangements agreed. On 31 March the mandate of the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the Great Lakes Region will conclude. The Special Representative, Mr. Fall, and his staff have done a great job and deserve the highest praise. Let me also take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all those who have assisted and will continue to assist the Great Lakes region in seeking to achieve lasting peace, stability and economic progress: the United Republic of Tanzania, South Africa, the Group of Friends of the Great Lakes Region, the regional Preparatory Committee and the National Coordinators.”

  2. “Peacebuilding efforts are under way in Burundi, whose problems are on the agenda of the recently established Peacebuilding Commission. Issues related to northern Uganda are being gradually addressed; peacebuilding measures have been elaborated and are being carried out. Multilateral security mechanisms involving the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi are being implemented. Clearly, none of that would have been possible without the assistance of subregional organizations, partner countries, donors and international financial institutions. A critical event last year was the signing by heads of State of the Great Lakes region, at Nairobi in December 2006, of the Pact on Security, Stability and Development in the Great Lakes Region, which ushered in a new era of post-conflict rehabilitation and social development.”

  3. “Mr. Leplinskiy (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): The Russian Federation expresses its gratitude to Mr. Ibrahima Fall, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the Great Lakes Region, for his substantive briefing. Progress in the peace process in the Great Lakes region would not have been possible without the active involvement of the Office of the Special Representative and the African Union. Together with the regional secretariat, they have made much progress in terms of organizing the Dar es- Salaam and Nairobi summits. Today's meeting attests eloquently to the attention that the Security Council is devoting to the situation in the Great Lakes region. We are pleased to note encouraging developments. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has held its first democratic elections in four decades.”

  4. “Of course, the appropriate principles of the United Nations Charter must be observed when launching peacekeeping operations. The carrying out of operations that use force by regional and subregional structures is permissible only if there is clear authorization by the Security Council. The Russian Federation intends to continue giving whatever assistance it can to resolve the problems of Africa, with whose countries we are traditionally bound by friendly relations, and sometimes by partnerships. Africa was, and remains, a priority for us.”

  5. “Because of their geographical proximity and their greater familiarity with unique local situations, these organizations could become centres for the coordination of sustainable development and early warning of possible dangers. An example of this is the decision taken by the Central African States to establish a Council for Peace and Security in Central Africa and to sign important documents, as well as a Non-Aggression Pact and a Mutual Assistance Pact. We think it is important to make active use of the provisions of the United Nations Charter that encourage regional and subregional organizations to take the initiative in preventive diplomacy and the peaceful settlement of disputes. This, in particular, implies expanding the practice of regional peacekeeping operations with the support of the Security Council.”

  6. “Active mediation is under way to stabilize relations between the Central African Republic and Chad and there has been normalization in the relationship among the States of the Great Lakes region at the intergovernmental level. The Russian Federation notes a significant increase in the activities of the Africans themselves in preventing and resolving conflict situations, which attests to their willingness and resolve to assume greater responsibility for solving existing problems. Only a few days ago, the Security Council welcomed the decision to deploy an International Observation Force in the Central African Republic, composed of soldiers primarily from the Central African States. An important role in post-conflict peacekeeping and peace-building is played by the regional and subregional organizations.”

  7. “Multi- track, painstaking efforts are required by Africa's friends and, primarily, by the Africans themselves, in order to break the familiar vicious cycle: from lack of development, to social problems, political and military instability, conflict and, ultimately, the collapse of development pro grammes. However, we are pleased to note that we have come to today's meeting with some positive achievements. Thanks to the efforts of the world community, the United Nations and the Security Council, as well as regional and subregional organizations, significant success has been achieved in resolving the situation in Angola and, to a certain extent, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

  8. “Mr. Leplinskiy (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): Today's meeting is further confirmation of the serious concern of the international community and the Security Council at the situation in Africa, as well as the desire to work out an effective strategy for peacekeeping and the sustainable development of Africa. We are alarmed that domestic and international crises are having a destabilizing effect on the situation of entire regions. The States of Central Africa are no exception. There are no quick recipes to resolving the enormous job of settling regional conflicts.”
