  1. “In closing, we thank Ambassador Kishore Mahbubani of Singapore, Chairman of the sanctions Committee, for his concise introduction of the Panel's report. Finally, I express some concern over recent revelations - and if further investigations revealed this, it would be appreciated by my Government - of Al Qaeda's connection with the RUF in Sierra Leone.”

  2. “The Panel has already given an indication of the course of action that the Council should take. In this connection, we welcome the statement by the President of the Council last Friday that after the briefing by the Chairman of the Liberia sanctions Committee, members of the Council expressed their commitment to the continued monitoring of the implementation of resolution 1343 (2001) and reaffirmed the need for early and full compliance with the measures imposed on Liberia under the resolution. We look forward to the proposed further discussion to be undertaken by the sanctions Committee on the Panel's recommendations. While studying other aspects of the Panel's report, the Sierra Leone delegation looks forward to appropriate action by the Council.”

  3. “This is why the Council, among other things, demanded in resolution 1343 (2001) last March that the Government of Liberia immediately cease its support for the RUF in Sierra Leone and for other armed rebel groups in the region. This is why my delegation commends the Chairman and the other members of the Panel for their detailed account of its investigation, in particular, of the role of non-State actors in the subregion and the proliferation of arms, as well as the relationship between the RUF and the Government of Liberia. We also draw attention to the executive summary in its report concerning this relationship. These are the two core elements of the entire report, which in our view should be the basis on which the Council takes its next decision concerning sanctions against Liberia.”

  4. “We have arrived at this conclusion because we still believe that the measures imposed by the Council on Liberia last March - measures that the Panel has been monitoring - are preferable to launching a multinational military action against Liberia. Sanctions in our region are a peaceful means of resolving armed conflicts. As we review the work of the Panel, we should remind ourselves of the reason behind Security Council sanctions against Liberia. We recall that the Council had determined that the active support provided by the Government of Liberia for armed rebel groups in neighbouring countries 4 in particular, its support for the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) in Sierra Leone - constitutes a threat to international peace and security in the region.”

  5. “My delegation congratulates you, Madam President, on assuming once again the presidency of the Security Council. We will no doubt have the opportunity at a later date to pay tribute to the Jamaican delegation under your leadership for its distinctive contribution to the work of the Security Council during the past 22 months. For now, we can only say that we did not expect less. We also thank Ambassador Ryan of Ireland for directing the Council's loaded agenda during October. The report of the Panel of Experts established under resolution 1343 (2001) is not just another report or a document prepared for archival purposes. In our View, it is a silent but important contribution to the side of peace and stability in Sierra Leone and the entire West African subregion.”
