1. “I would underscore that this task is incumbent on all components of the mission: military, police, civilian affairs, the human rights section and all others. In this regard, we enjoy full cooperation with the other components of our mission. I would like to add that UNOCI is now in the process of developing and drafting a strategy or plan for discharging our task to protect civilians in imminent danger of violence. I believe that, having developed this plan, we will be in a strong position to protect civilians in imminent danger.”

2. “The Council is aware that it is politically difficult to act against authorities charged with maintaining order who threaten civilians. That having been said, we are fully aware of our mission to protect civilians in imminent danger of violence. To that end, we count on our presence in major cities and in high-risk areas that may be hotspots in times of crisis, protest or violence. We have deployed troops to play a deterrent role. We undertake regular patrols in the field that allow us to monitor the situation and provide intelligence that is useful for carrying out our protection of civilians tasks. In each sector, we maintain an early warning force that enables us to respond rapidly in case of a deteriorating or exacerbated situation.”

3. “I am the Force Commander of the United Nations Operation in Cote d'Ivoire (UNOCI). It is my honour and privilege to briefly address the issue of the protection of civilians in Cote d'Ivoire. As the Council is aware, under our mission's mandate we have the role and task of protecting civilians who are in imminent danger of violence in areas under our deployment. Our view is that this task is crucial and significant. We also believe that it is a difficult task to carry out because, to do so, we need resources and means. Our troop strength is 7,000 soldiers in a country that is quite large. Secondly, in C6te d'Ivoire, threats are sometimes made against civilians by State authorities charged with maintaining order in the country during anti- Government demonstrations.”
