“It must be harmonious so that everyone benefits from it. It must, therefore, include a social dimension - public education, sanitation, health-care and equal access by all - men and women - to a decent standard of living. The most industrialized countries can and must help the developing countries by placing at their disposal technological, financial and human resources and by maintaining an appropriate level of aid, including governmental aid, for development. That is what the European Union has done in adopting an important policy based on cooperation and the openness of its markets. Furthermore, the rule of law, respect for human rights and the democratic foundations and functioning of political systems must be ensured.”

“This goes beyond the sphere of competence of the Security Council, yet it is a fundamental aspect of conflict prevention. Responsibility in these areas lies primarily with the States themselves, but international institutions and donors of funds have a not inconsiderable role to play in providing impetus. The first and not the least aspect of this is of course economic and social development. Poverty leads to frustration and revolts, which may degenerate into conflicts. Economic development is, therefore, an essential factor in the prevention of conflicts. We cannot emphasize this point enough. However, such development must be sustainable and harmonious. It must be sustainable so that natural resources are not wasted and economic growth is not achieved to the detriment of future generations.”

“Preventive action presupposes that at a stage prior to the eruption of the conflict, the Security Council may become involved in a potentially dangerous situation and, if necessary, consider actions. Such a situation has already occurred in the past. The Council has acknowledged its responsibility. This shows that it can and knows how to adapt to developments in the very nature of conflicts, including from the point of view of prevention. Such adaptation should be welcomed and encouraged. This development, however, should not be confined to the Security Council, but be fully taken up by States themselves and by regional organizations, which have a central role to play in the matter. Secondly, the European Union considers that the best means of preventing conflicts is to address their fundamental causes.”

“Most of the current conflicts are not direct conflicts between States, but internal conflicts, resulting from economic or political problems - seizure of power and wealth by a political or ethnic group, failure to comply with the rights of minority groups, secessionism and so forth. It should, of course, be pointed out that local actors have the principal responsibility for prevention. Does this mean, however, that these internal crises and tensions, which may degenerate into conflict, do not involve the international community? In fact, for several years the Security Council has been involved in dealing with internal conflicts that in almost every case have international repercussions.”

“It seems, therefore, to offer less opportunities to enhance one's political status or media image. Prevention is not without risk. There is a risk of overreacting or of not reacting enough, of acting too soon or too late. Nevertheless, we must accept this risk, since if we do not take it, we leave ourselves open to even greater difficulties. The results of prevention are also difficult to assess. How do we know whether a particular action has achieved its aim? How do we learn from a policy of prevention? Another difficulty with prevention lies in its degree of compatibility with the sovereignty of States.”

“However, in accordance with Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Charter, one of the purposes of the United Nations is: "to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace". Thus, the Secretary-General has rightly called for the development of a "culture of prevention". First, I would like to underscore the importance of prevention, and also the difficulties it raises. There are several reasons why the prevention of armed conflict arouses less interest than dealing with the effects of armed conflicts themselves. This is particularly regrettable since prevention is always less costly than dealing with conflicts - be this from a human, political, economic or financial perspective. Prevention very often involves discretion more than publicity, perseverance more than action.”

“Mr. Levitte (France) (spoke in French): Thank you, Sir, for having organized this debate and thank you also for having honoured us by your presence. I have the honour to speak on behalf of the European Union. The Central and Eastern European countries associated with the European Union - Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia - and the associated countries, Cyprus and Malta, align themselves with this statement. The European Union congratulates the Jamaican presidency on organizing this debate on conflict prevention, which is an aspect of the maintenance of international peace and security that is too often overlooked.”

“UNMIK must continue to have the necessary resources for its work, and particularly in the area of personnel. Could the Secretariat give us its assessment of personnel needs and steps planned to cope with the difficulties caused by rotation and departures in summer?”

“Thirdly, UNMIK's success does not rest solely with the establishment of political and administrative structures allowing future coexistence to prevail in Kosovo. Success also depends on its action to restore basic public services, rebuild housing and reopen schools. That counts above all in the eyes of the population. The success of UNMIK has been possible thanks to contributions provided from the onset of the operation and, in particular, thanks to the contribution of the European Union. The European Union is still by far the major contributor to Kosovo, with a contribution of more than 3 billion euros in 1999 and 2000 in the civilian domain. Its member States provide almost two thirds of KFOR's troops, bringing the European Union's total contribution to 8 billion euros for those two years. Finally, I have one question.”

“We know that UNMIK and Mr. Kouchner are continuing their efforts to find a solution, and we encourage them in that direction. Secondly, the next important stage will be the holding of local elections. Those elections may cause a genuine democratic shock among the Kosovar population, which will be positive for the development of this society. It is therefore essential that the elections be prepared meticulously. It is necessary to continue encouraging the Kosovar Serbs to participate. By creating impediments to registration and thus to participation of Kosovar Serbs in the elections, Mr. Milosevic is preventing them from deciding their own destiny and is showing that he is not, as he as pretends to be, the defender of their interests.”

“One of the major issues raised at that meeting was the question of restoring dialogue between the communities within the Joint Administrative Structures. A Kosovo Serb delegation was present, and their concerns were brought to the Council's attention. The Kosovo Serb representatives have since decided to participate again in the Joint Administrative Structures set up by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). We must welcome this decision and recall that all the Kosovo communities should enjoy equal security. Cooperation among representatives of all Kosovars and international organizations can only serve to promote this and make it possible to set up democratic institutions in which all acknowledge the others. Of course, difficulties remains. Thus, we have taken note of what Mr. Thaci has said.”

“Mr. Levitte (France) (spoke in French): I wish, at the outset, to thank you, Madam President, because this meeting devoted to Kosovo is taking place in a setting that makes it possible for States not members of the Council to hear firsthand, at an open meeting, information furnished by the Secretariat. It is our wish that this type of free and interactive format be retained to the extent possible at open briefings. In this spirit and in response to the very comprehensive briefing given by Mr. Annabi, the French delegation will confine itself to three brief comments and one question. First, on 9 June 2000, Mr. Kouchner came before the Council and gave us an overall assessment of the situation in Kosovo, one year after the adoption of Security Council resolution 1244 (1999).”

“The European Union would like to recall that the restoration of peace in Sierra Leone will be possible only with the active support of the countries of the region. Conversely, the persistence of chronic insecurity in Sierra Leone would be a handicap to subregional development and would fuel the destabilization of neighbouring countries.”
2000-07-05 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.4168 (2000) · source
“The European Union believes that all these measures are aimed at supporting the efforts of the authorities in Sierra Leone in order to enable them to take back the control over resources that have slipped through their fingers. They also reflect the concern of the Security Council to ensure that the measures it adopts are effectively followed up with actions. Finally, the European Union is satisfied with the close coordination between the Security Council and the member States of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) with regard to the situation in Sierra Leone. As Ambassador Moctar Ouane emphasized, the meeting held last month between the Security Council and the ministerial delegation of the ECOWAS Mediation and Security Council Committee of Six on Sierra Leone is evidence of this indispensable closeness.”

“We hope that the holding of such a hearing involving both governmental and non-governmental experts may serve as a precedent for the work of other committees. The European Union also notes that the resolution establishes an embargo regime on diamonds for an initial period of 18 months and provides for bi-annual reviews of the implementation of the embargo. The European Union takes note of the commitment made by the Security Council to carry out an in-depth review of the situation at the end of the 18-month period so as to take a fresh decision, if necessary, to either extend the measures taken and adjust them if need be, or to adopt new measures in the light of the Government's authority over diamond-producing areas.”

“The Secretary-General's proposal to set up a group of experts responsible for collecting information on violations of that embargo and examining the links between the diamond trade and the arms trade meets with the particular support of the European Union. The European Union calls on all countries concerned, and primarily on the countries neighbouring Sierra Leone, to show exemplary cooperation with that group of experts. The European Union is pleased to welcome all measures taken to strengthen the role of the sanctions Committee set up under resolution 1132 (1998). The holding of a preliminary hearing by the sanctions Committee between now and the end of the month to assess the role of diamonds in the conflict in Sierra Leone, and the links between the trade in Sierra Leone diamonds and the arms trade, represents an important decision.”

“Secondly, these measures have been the subject of close consultation with the Government of Sierra Leone. They show a concern for cooperation with those economically involved in the diamond trade. The setting up of an effective system of certificates of origin for diamonds produced in Sierra Leone may ultimately complete the efforts already undertaken by the Security Council in other African countries, in particular in Angola. This will give complete legality to the diamond trade and should contribute to peace and development in Africa and other regions of the world. Thirdly and lastly, these measures will strengthen the existing embargo on arms. On several occasions, the European Union has had opportunity to express its concern over violations of Security Council resolution 1171 (1998).”

“The European Union underscores the personal responsibility of Mr. Foday Sankoh in the course of recent events, by virtue of which he can no longer be considered one of the partners in the peace process under any circumstances. The European Union considers the measures proposed in the resolution as being particularly timely for various reasons. First, the measures aim to put an end to the illicit exploitation of diamonds in Sierra Leone by the Revolutionary United Front, an exploitation that is substantially contributing to financing that movement's war effort and impoverishing the people of Sierra Leone as a whole. The European Union is convinced that the establishment of a lasting peace in Sierra Leone requires drying up the RUF's financial resources.”

“The European Union also hopes that the Security Council will, on the one hand, be able to decide swiftly and positively on increasing the staff of the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL) as proposed in the Secretary-General's last report and, on the other hand, examine the assistance that might be given to the Government of Sierra Leone to bring to trial Mr. Foday Sankoh and other persons responsible for Violations of the Lorne Peace Agreement. The European Union vigorously condemns the actions of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), in particular the attacks and hostile actions committed against UNAMSIL. It calls upon the RUF immediately and unconditionally to respect the commitments it has made and to begin the process of demobilization and disarmament provided for under the Lome Agreement.”

“I would like to express the European Union's support for the resolution on the situation in Sierra Leone that was skilfully and determinedly prepared by the United Kingdom, and for the strengthening of existing sanctions and the establishment of an embargo on rough diamonds illicitly exported from Sierra Leone. The adoption of this resolution is a first step, and shows that the international community intends to react in the firmest possible way to the events that have taken place in Sierra Leone since the beginning of May.”

“"The Security Council reminds all States of their obligation to comply with the measures imposed by resolution 733 (1992) and urges them to take all necessary steps to ensure full implementation and enforcement of the arms embargo. The Security Council further urges all States, the United Nations and other international organizations and entities to report to the Committee established by resolution 751 (1992) information on possible violations of the arms embargo. "The Security Council remains seized of the matter." This statement will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/2000/22.

In this regard, it urges the warlords and faction leaders to desist from obstructing and undermining efforts to achieve peace. The Council expresses its readiness to consider taking appropriate steps regarding the warlords and faction leaders who engage in such activities.

"The Security Council expresses its deep concern at the ongoing abuse of human rights and grave deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Somalia, which has led to death, displacement and the outbreak of diseases among the civilian population, particularly children and other vulnerable groups.”

“Unlike previous peace plans for Somalia - which, I need hardly recall, have all failed - the initiative of the President of Djibouti refuses to let the success of the plan depend on the whims of the warlords. Ambassador Olhaye's statement earlier this morning was eloquent testimony to that. The peace process led by President Guelleh has given a voice to civil society: to the population that has been a victim of the conflict. Elders, intellectuals, local non- governmental organizations, women's groups, religious leaders and exiles have all without exception had an opportunity to state their views about the future of their country, and have demonstrated their profound weariness at the continuation of the conflict.”

With respect to the latter, we especially welcome the involvement of Djibouti through the initiative taken by President Guelleh to secure a lasting solution to the crisis in Somalia. Thirdly, this debate is important because it will enable us finally to endorse a process which, although it has sometimes been difficult, has nonetheless been exemplary.”

“I want to state clearly that there are no "forgotten" crises on the agenda of the Security Council. The failure of one method of intervention should not automatically lead to inertia. We must learn from our past difficulties to see how the United Nations can support peace in Somalia and facilitate the rebirth of that country. Secondly, this debate is important because it once again underscores the Council's concern for sustaining and supporting regional peace initiatives whenever the opportunity arises.”

I too wish to thank the Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Mr. Prendergast, and the representative of Djibouti, Mr. Olhaye, for their briefings on the situation. I shall confine myself to making a few general comments, as the representative of Portugal will later make a statement on behalf of the European Union, which my delegation fully endorses. In the view of my delegation, the holding of another open Security Council debate on the situation in Somalia is of particular importance for three reasons. First of all, it shows that the Council is committed to the resolution of all crises, both those that are covered by the international press and those that are no longer in the spotlight.”
