  1. We therefore call on all people of good will to lend their support to the activities of the High Representative. In conclusion, Chad underscores the need for respect for the historic Dayton Agreement and all of its provisions, including the essential role played by the Office of the High Representative, NATO, and EUFOR Operation Althea in guaranteeing security and preventing a return to the starting point.

  2. The issue of refugees and displaced individuals is a central element of the comprehensive implementation of the General Framework Agreement for Peace. Despite the obligation incumbent on the authorities to create at all levels the economic, social and other conditions conducive to the harmonious return and reintegration of refugees without ethnic distinction, the latter are experiencing great difficulties in returning to their pre-war homes. The decrease in the budget of the Office of the High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina by 44 per cent and of its staff by 51 per cent has had an impact on its ability to discharge its mission successfully. However, as we have already indicated, the conditions necessary for the closure of the Office of the High Representative do not seem to be present.

  3. The deliberate refusal of Republika Srpska partisans to cooperate with the High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina - including, inter alia, by blocking his access to its archives - is also part and parcel of genocide denial. We urge all the authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina to cooperate fully with the Residual Mechanism of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia to accelerate the process of bringing the accused to trial by national tribunals. We also urge them to cooperate fully with the High Representative, in keeping with article IX of the General Framework Agreement, by granting him access to the information and official documents he needs to discharge his mandate.

  4. The isolated attacks that have claimed a number oflives in April at the police station in Zvornik and the ethnically based incidents during the ceremony commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide are signs that the path to lasting peace and reconciliation between the communities remains long and difficult. The assistance of the international community is therefore needed. We recall that the Srebrenica massacre of 1995, which claimed over 8,000 lives, qualifies as genocide under international law. We firmly condemn denial of that genocide by the leader of the Republika Srpska. Statements referring to the atrocities in Srebrenica as something other than genocide offend the memory of the victims of all genocides.

  5. The territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina can in no way be questioned, in keeping with the aforementioned Agreement. Furthermore, we note with regret that insufficient efforts have been made to achieve the "5+2" agenda-the five objectives and two conditions set for the closure of the Office of the High Representative on the ground. There can be no question of considering a withdrawal by the United Nations, NATO or the European Union-led peacekeeping force (EUFOR), all of them synonymous with restored peace and stability.

  6. Mr. Gombo (Chad) (spoke in French): I thank Mr. Valentin Inzko, High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, for presenting his fourteenth briefing and the forty-eighth report of the Secretary-General (S/2015/841, annex) covering the period from 21 April to 21 October 2015. It is especially alarming that the report, like those before it, refers to the threat that the historic General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, signed in 1995, may be called into question. Indeed, on 15 July, the Republika Srpska threatened to organize a unilateral referendum in 2018 on possible independence. That impulse towards secession, even if theoretical, seriously undermines the Dayton Peace Agreement, which ended the tragic events which Bosnia and Herzegovina experienced.
