1. “While East Timor will look towards the United Nations for support and advice for some time, the United Nations must also listen increasingly to what its child wants. Nonetheless, it is clear that there is still a long way to go for East Timor. More needs to be done in the area of security, where the refugee and militia problems have not yet been resolved. The killing of United Nations personnel and the intimidation of refugees by militias cannot be condoned. Singapore calls on UNTAET and the Indonesian Government to work together to prevent such instances and to take all steps to bring the perpetrators to justice. In this regard, we are pleased to note that both the Indonesian armed forces (TNI) and UNTAET have agreed to launch joint security operations along the border of East and West Timor.”

2. “UNTAET is hastening its critical Timorization efforts to help the East Timorese people run their own country. Politically, UNTAET has successfully established a quasi-government: the East Timor Transitional Administration, with key Cabinet positions staffed by East Timorese. East Timorese leaders have outlined a political calendar setting out the important political milestones. As the Secretary-General noted in his report, this timeline is ambitious but achievable. However, Timorization must not only take place at the political level, but percolate throughout the entire administration. As a far-sighted parent, UNTAET must build up the capacity of East Timor to stand on its own two feet and not develop a crutch mentality.”

3. “Sergio Vieira de Mello, speaking here today, has echoed similar views. We commend Mr. Vieira de Mello - a good friend of Singapore - for his tremendous efforts and those of his team. Singapore is heartened to hear about the steady progress made in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of East Timor. UNTAET is, without a doubt, one of the largest and most complex operations undertaken by the United Nations. In East Timor, the United Nations has not only to keep the peace but also to re-establish entire social systems and provisional institutions from scratch. It is a massive multidisciplinary, multidimensional task, by any reckoning. With the support of the international community, UNTAET has made progress in the important areas of health, education and infrastructure. Efforts are also under way to revitalize the economy.”

4. “It has played a critical role in the East Timor issue for the last quarter century, or longer. Since 1982, regular tripartite talks between successive United Nations Secretaries- General, Indonesia and Portugal, aimed at resolving the status of the territory, have taken place at the request of the General Assembly. As the United Nations shepherds East Timor towards independence, it is clear that the responsibility of the United Nations for East Timor is not coming to an end. As with parenthood, the real test of the responsibility of the United Nations will only just begin when the child is born. In his report of 16 January 2000 on the progress of the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) since 27 July 2000, the Secretary-General has sketched a largely positive picture of developments in East Timor. Mr.”

5. “More importantly, their collective presence at today's open debate symbolically demonstrates the direction in which East Timor is heading in the long haul: a growing Timorization process to allow for a smooth transition to independence and an increasing emphasis on reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts moving towards sustainable development and good governance, with the ongoing collective responsibility of the entire United Nations membership to oversee and help ensure East Timor's success. East Timor is very much the child of the United Nations - a child which, as Mr. Vieira de Mello said earlier, is now at the embryonic stage ofits development. The United Nations has played a large part in the process that has led East Timor to where is today.”

In addition, we were honoured by the participation of Mr. Harri Holkeri, the President of the General Assembly at its fifty-fifth session, who has recently returned from a trip to the region. Their presence and their briefings have given us invaluable first-hand perspectives.”

Although earlier I conveyed the condolences of the Council to the Government and the people of India and of Pakistan, I should also like to add our national condolences for the tragic loss of life resulting from the earthquake in the subcontinent. I would also like to add my personal words of welcome to those already extended to Mr. Sergio Vieira de Mello, the Secretary-General's Special Representative for East Timor, and to Mr. Jose Ramos-Horta, the member of the East Timor Transitional Cabinet in charge of foreign affairs, and to thank them for being here with us in the Council today.

9. “The World Bank noted that we need to develop a clear and structured plan for the transition and post-independence mandate. The IMF explained in detail how a patient consultative process to develop long-term and sustainable financial institutions and processes is necessary. The President of the General Assembly, Mr. Holkeri, noted that we cannot afford to exit East Timor prematurely or without a well-prepared strategy. And finally, Mr. Ramos-Horta also told us that, while he would not want the United Nations forces to remain forever, a premature withdrawal would be difficult for East Timor. In brief, many major points have emerged, and we hope that Council members will address them.”

10. “I shall now give the floor to members ofthe Council. But before I do so, let me note that we have had an exceptionally rich exchange of views. Many key points have emerged. It is clear from the briefings that have been given that, despite wide recognition as one ofthe more successful peacekeeping operations, huge challenges remain. I think Mr. Vieira de Mello was being modest-or perhaps even more important, realistic - when he acknowledged that much still remains to be done. The East Timorese will need ongoing commitment of the international community for many years in support of the embryonic Government of East Timor. Mr. Mark Malloch Brown of UNDP said that East Timor needs our support for tomorrow even more than for today.”

I hope that the presence of these youthful spirits - the young ladies in the red blazers in the public gallery 4 will serve as a good omen for the future of East Timor. The next speaker inscribed on my list is Mr. Jose Ramos-Horta, member of the Transitional Cabinet of East Timor responsible for foreign affairs, to whom the Council has extended an invitation under rule 39 of its provisional rules of procedure. Your presence here, Mr. Ramos-Horta, is itself historic. Until today, no representative of East Timor had addressed the Council since UNTAET was established.”

I invite him to take a seat at the Council table. Before giving the floor to Mr. Holkeri, 1 would like to convey a special word of thanks to him for taking time off from his busy schedule to address the Security Council. Rarely have Presidents of the General Assembly addressed the Council. Indeed, our research shows that the last time it happened was probably in 1946 - more than 54 years ago. So this is in some ways a historic occasion. I invite Mr. Holkeri to make his statement.”

We believe that this debate should afford us an opportunity to start to sketch out a collective vision for the future of East Timor, both in transition towards independence and after independence. We should also discuss the role of the international community in helping East Timor to achieve that vision. I now give the floor to the Special Representative ofthe Secretary-General, Mr. Vieira de Mello.”

On standards of verification, we are glad to note that the Panel, as stated in paragraph 63 of its report (S/2000/1195), agreed at the outset of its work to use high evidentiary standards in its investigations. According to the report, this required at least two credible and independent sources of information to substantiate a finding. On due process, we also note from paragraph 63 of the report that "Wherever possible, the Panel also agreed to put allegations to those concerned in order to allow them the right of reply." Today's debate is very much a part of this process.”

38. “We note that if the recommended sanctions proposed against Liberia in the Panel's report are taken up by the Council and implemented, they will constitute the most serious and comprehensive United Nations embargo imposed on an African country in recent times. Sanctions are an important tool of the Council in carrying out its responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. It is therefore the obligation of all Members to comply with the sanctions imposed by the Council. However, we need to give teeth to United Nations sanctions and take that one further step to ensure that States do not violate them with impunity. The credibility of the United Nations demands that we deal firmly with sanctions-busters and those who support or take part in activities aimed at undermining the stability oftheir regional neighbours.”

The recommendations in the report are sobering, particularly in relation to the allegations against Liberia, its support for the activities of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) and its role in fuelling the conflict in Sierra Leone. The situation concerning Sierra Leone has been on the Security Council's agenda for some years now. The civilian population of Sierra Leone has endured more than 10 years of shocking brutality, failed peace agreements and the murder, rape and mutilation of thousands at the hands of the RUF.”
