  1. “My delegation fully supports the recommendations of the mission that the developments in Sierra Leone should not be used as a yardstick for future deployments of this nature in the continent and that the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo must be viewed on its own merits. We are therefore in favour of the View that the Secretary-General, acting within the confines of resolution 1291 (2000), should solicit credible assurances from the parties to the conflict for the security and freedom of movement of United Nations and other related personnel.”

  2. “My delegation is disturbed to learn that the inter- Congolese dialogue, a vital and critical component of the peace process, is beset with difficulties, including lack of funds and logistical support. We join those who have spoken before us in encouraging those that have pledged funds in support of the efforts of the facilitator, Sir Ketumile Masire, to make them available without further delay. We cannot agree more with the mission's observation that protracted discussions over the venue of the dialogue should not be allowed to delay the talks' being launched as expeditiously as possible. The report further addresses the current circumstances of peacekeeping in Africa and elsewhere, with particular emphasis on the Sierra Leone tragedy, about the deployment of peacekeepers before a conflict has run its course.”

  3. “It is with this concern in mind that my delegation welcomes and considers the visit of the Security Council's mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo as a clear expression of the Security Council's commitment to the strengthening of the peace process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We welcome the mission's efforts to harmonize relations between the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) and the Government in Kinshasa, as demonstrated by the signing of the status-of-forces agreement on 4 May. We are convinced that this agreement will be crucial in ensuring the effectiveness of MONUC and that eventually it will be pivotal to the deployment of phase II of MONUC, the success of which will be a major milestone in the peace process.”

  4. “That meeting was graced by the presence and participation of heads of State from the region. During that meeting, the heads of State made it clear that the Lusaka peace process had reached a stalemate and that there was an urgent need for it to be supported in order for its ultimate goal to be realized. The recent fact- finding visit to the region by the Security Council mission is but a fulfilment of the desire expressed by the leaders of the region in January that urgent action be taken by the international community to bring durable peace to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and bears testimony to the fact that the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have suffered long enough and that the international community must act now. Further inaction will only serve to worsen the situation.”

  5. “Allow me, Mr. President, on behalf of the delegation of the Kingdom of Swaziland, to extend my congratulations to you on your assumption of the presidency of this important organ for the month of May and to thank you for convening this meeting of the Council to consider the report on the Security Council mission visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I also extend our thanks to Ambassador Holbrooke for his introduction of the report on the mission this morning and for his able leadership of the mission during its visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A little over four months ago, under the presidency of the United States, the Security Council convened to consider the question relating to the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”
