  1. “65) Therefore, it is only right and just that the United Nations and international partners walk the path with Africa as it seeks solutions to the conflicts that have sadly ravaged the African continent for so long. We look forward to the Secretary-General's report that intends to define the Secretariat's strategic vision for United Nations and African Union cooperation in peace and security.”

  2. “In the specific case of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), Kenya strongly supports the call made yesterday to this Council by the African Union Commissioner for Peace and Security, Ambassador Lamamra (see S/PV.6407) to endorse the newly authorized strength of AMISOM. and authorize an enhanced support package for it, as well as all of the other four action points raised by the Commissioner, including rehatting AMISOM. In conclusion, I wish to recall the Secretary- General's observation in the current report that: "Africa's needs are great, but so are the contributions that Africans have made to keeping the peace in their region and beyond." (S/2010/514, para.”

  3. “The Prodi panel report (S/2008/813) and subsequent reports, assessments and initiatives have all sought ways for the United Nations to assist the African Union to improve effectiveness in deploying and managing peacekeeping operations mandated by the United Nations. The United Nations has indeed recognized the importance of enhancing the predictability, sustainability and flexibility of financing for the African Union's peace and security capability. It is our hope that the strengthened partnership between the United Nations and the African Union will lead to a better understanding of the dynamics involved and a way forward in this matter.”

  4. “We are encouraged by the increased momentum of a bid to strengthen and solidify the relationship between the two organizations. We welcome the establishment in July of the United Nations Office to the African Union, headed by Ambassador Muburi Muita. The fusion of the various United Nations offices in Addis Ababa into a single compact office will certainly greatly assist in streamlining the channels of interaction between the United Nations and the African Union. Indeed, by reducing duplication and pooling resources in a more cost-efficient manner, the United Nations Office to the African Union will be a prime example of the evolution of qualitative engagement between the African Union and the United Nations. The issue of funding in support of African Union peacekeeping operations has been on the table for quite a while.”

  5. “However, there are many challenges that face the African Union in the deployment and management of peacekeeping operations. The question of capacity-building is vital if the institutional development of the African Union is to be strengthened. Capacity-building is important to enable the African Union to address not only immediate peacekeeping operations, but also conflict prevention, mediation and peacebuilding. Partnership between the United Nations and the African Union is crucial in addressing the question of peace and security in Africa. In that regard we note that the Secretary-General's report underscores the necessity of a close strategic partnership between the United Nations and the African Union and gives direction on mechanisms and processes to be put in place so as to enhance this critical partnership.”

  6. “I thank you, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to address the Council on a matter that we consider to be crucial to peace and security in Africa. Kenya welcomes the report of the Secretary- General on support to African Union peacekeeping operations authorized by the United Nations (S/2010/514). The report addresses important issues related to peacekeeping operations and a number of recommendations that warrant our collective consideration. Regional organizations play a pivotal role in matters of peace and security, and indeed serve to further the Council's mandate of ensuring the maintenance of international peace and security. The African Union in particular has played and continues to play this role in the areas of conflict prevention, peacekeeping and peacebuilding in Africa.”
