“No one working in post-conflict situations, no citizen of a country trying to emerge from months or years of fighting cares at all about United Nations lines of authority or the institutional breakdown of seats around the conference room table. They care and we should care - about results. What we all agree on is the goal of strengthening the Commission's ability to make a real difference in strategies to support countries emerging from conflict, to help these societies establish the institutions and systems necessary to prevent a relapse into violence. From the United States perspective as a member of the Security Council, the goal of the Commission must be to facilitate better coordination between the Council's security component and the broader post- conflict stabilization efforts of the international community.”

“Mr. President, I appreciate your initiative in scheduling this open discussion of the Peacebuilding Commission. I will be brief, as I think it is more important that we listen to our guests here today, including the President of the Economic and Social Council, Assistant Secretary-General McAskie, the Chairman of the Organizational Committee of the Peacebuilding Commission and the chairs of the country-specific meetings of that Commission, the representatives of the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund and particularly the Permanent Representatives of Burundi and Sierra Leone. I suggest that we look at this debate and the discussion on the Peacebuilding Commission to take place soon in the General Assembly as opportunities to re-energize our common effort to better contribute to concrete results on the ground.”
