“Human rights, the rule of law and an effective judiciary sector must remain top priorities in the new phase. We note with concern the stagnant situation with regard to the establishment of the National Human Rights Commission since the last report of the Secretary- General. To conclude, I would like to thank the British delegation for preparing a draft presidential statement, which we can fully support.”

“Clearly, the assistance of the international community remains crucial to the success of the reconstruction process. We share the concern of the Secretary-General about the decline in foreign aid following the completion of the peacekeeping phase. The mobilization of resources is also being complicated by competing priorities, given the United Nations pattern of making multiple requests for voluntary contributions to other operations. Last but not least, the continued engagement of the international community in that country should be matched by a renewed commitment of the national political parties to the principles of reform and democratic governance. As 2007 is an electoral year, we caution about the need to avoid sterile political disputes with possible destabilizing effects.”

“They require a cohesive and long-term action plan involving national actors, the United Nations and other relevant partners. It is in that context that UNIOSIL has been created with the main aim of supporting and coordinating such efforts. The potential threats to national stability should be perceived no longer solely in security-related terms, but rather within socio-economic parameters. The main challenges in the post-building phase are related to issues such as job creation, improvement in the quality of public service delivery and fighting corruption. Sierra Leone is still at the bottom of the Human Development Index. The economic recovery is slow and painful, despite the increase in diamond exports and agricultural output.”

“UNAMSIL has also been involved in the first significant exercise of concrete inter-mission cooperation, given the fact that the United Nations Mission in Liberia is supposed to ensure, starting next year, the protection of the Special Court for Sierra Leone. This is a time to take a step back and look at the general picture. A great deal of effort and resources have been invested in the pacification and stabilization of the country. As we can see today, those have born fruit. The prospects for Sierra Leone seem promising. Significant progress has been achieved in restoring State authority throughout the country, rebuilding the security sector and promoting national cohesion and reconciliation. Sierra Leone is now at peace, but many chronic problems are still to be addressed.”

“We take the opportunity to recognize the important contribution played by your country, Sir, in steering the international efforts towards today's achievements. After the challenges faced by the Mission in the crisis of 2000, Sierra Leone became the area in which the Security Council showed a new resolve to sustain a complex peace operation in Africa. We acknowledge the innovative spirit impressed upon the Mission - one of the first to reflect the concept of the integrated mission. The same creative approach has been taken in crafting UNAMSIL's exit strategy and in establishing the United Nations Integrated Office in Sierra Leone (UNIOSIL) with a comprehensive peacebuilding mandate.”

“Sierra Leone represented a major test case for the Security Council's approach to peacekeeping operations. The transformation of UNAMSIL from the vulnerable mission of 2000 into the robust operation that subsequently conducted disarmament and demobilization and facilitated the elections in 2002 was indeed remarkable. The strengthening of UNAMSIL - which, at a certain point, stood out as the largest active peacekeeping mission - demonstrated the ability of the United Nations to learn from past experience and even past mistakes. We are pleased to see that the Secretariat has already started extracting the best practices from that experience. The change in the United Nations strategy was strongly upheld by the leadership exercised by the United Kingdom.”

“Let me thank you, Sir, and the Special Representative of the Secretary- General, Mr. Daudi Mwakawago, for his eloquent presentation a few minutes ago. Of course, I wish to commend the United Nations mission teams in Sierra Leone for their dedication and resilience over the past six years in advancing the peace process. I would have hesitated to speak after the historic decision taken by the Security Council on the creation of the Peacebuilding Commission, but what we have acknowledged with regard to the United Nations role and involvement in Sierra Leone is also, in our view, a historic moment as we note the successful completion of the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL) and of the peacekeeping phase in that country.”

“Volker Beck and his colleagues who make up the 1540 Committee's group of experts. I wish to recognize the dedicated work of those members of the Secretariat from the Department of Political Affairs who assisted the 1518 and 1540 Committees in their undertakings. Let me add all my commendation to Ambassador Abe and his colleagues from the Department for Disarmament Affairs. While it is not with a light heart that we part with the chairmanships of the 1518 and 1540 Committees, I should like to pledge, on behalf of my delegation, our full readiness to support in every helpful way the future work that the Security Council may entrust to its subsidiary bodies in these areas. I also wish every success to those who will succeed Romania. And to you, Mr. President, I extend my thanks for arranging for this meeting and for bearing with me.”

“As Chairman of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), I am proud of our implementation work so far and believe that it makes the extension and consolidation of the regime put in place by the Security Council in 2004 fully worthwhile. On a final note, I wish to say a word of special appreciation to the Vice-Chairmen of the 1518 Committee, Brazil and Denmark, and of the 1540 Committee, Benin, the Philippines and the United Kingdom. I am indebted to them for their outstanding dedication and support. None of the achievements listed above would have been possible without the contribution and professionalism of the colleagues sitting on those committees, representing the members of the Council. I feel very humbled by the outstanding contribution made by Mr.”

“Two years after the passing of the landmark Security Council resolution 1540 (2004), which reaffirmed that the proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and their means of delivery is at all times a threat to international peace and security, and which filled a major gap in existing international instruments and arrangements by regulating against the spread of such deadly tools to terrorists, I believe we are significantly more advanced in our knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of national systems in terms of preventing the nexus between WMDs and terrorist groups. We have made headway in our endeavour to secure our world with the safety belt of common, minimal protective measures against that dreadful prospect.”

“We have also interacted constantly with the valuable work conducted by the Permanent Representative of the Philippines at the helm of the Security Council Working Group established pursuant to resolution 1566 (2004). A lot of work remains to be done to achieve universal reporting, as required by resolution 1540 (2004), and to put available assistance to work.”

“As transparency and cooperation have been constant guidelines for the work of the 1540 Committee, and as such an important guarantee for the effectiveness of the regime put in place by the resolution, the Committee and I have strived hard to reach out on a regular basis to Member States, including through joint briefings systematically conducted with my Danish and Argentinean colleagues chairing the Counter-Terrorism Committee and the 1267 Committee, respectively. In September, we addressed in that format the global gathering of Speakers of national parliaments here in New York. Our experts cooperated closely in all areas related to the execution of regimes instituted by resolutions 1267 (1999), 1373 (2001) and 1540 (2004).”

“The Committee recently reached out on the reporting issue to the membership of the Latin American and Caribbean and Asian regional groups at the United Nations. In 2005, the Committee conducted interactive meetings with the Directors General and representatives of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Chairman of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).”

“So far, the Committee has compiled in a structured manner and posted on its website all information on both available offers for assistance and needs evidenced by the reports. As the assessment by the Committee progresses, it will become clearer to what extent Member States and international and regional organizations can support the implementation process by providing directly, or otherwise facilitating, such assistance to those requesting it. In terms of outreach activities, the Chairman and members of the Committee and its experts have continued to raise the issue of further reporting and promoted the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) through a great number of meetings, conferences, seminars and workshops addressing a wide range of constituencies concerned.”

“To assist the Committee in examining the reports in a structured and consistent manner, a matrix has been developed based on the provisions of resolution 1540 (2004). All information - reported or identified from official data provided by States to various international organizations - on measures adopted by States to implement resolution 1540 (2004), is now reflected in individual matrices that the Committee subsequently decided to share with reporting States. On the basis of operative paragraph 7 of resolution 1540 (2004), the Committee undertook to operate as a clearinghouse on matters related to facilitating assistance to countries lacking the legal or regulatory infrastructure, implementation experience and/or resources for full compliance with the provisions of the resolution.”

“It was good to see, throughout these two years, how the cooperation with the Iraqi authorities has improved at the pace of that country's overall transformation. Let me now pass swiftly to outlining the work of the 1540 Committee in 2005. I will concentrate on the examination of national reports on the assistance- related issues and outreach activities, recalling that the full report will be available as Security Council document S/2005/799. As of 16 December 2005, 124 States had submitted their initial reports to the Committee. The examination of all is already completed. In addition to that, as of the same date, 40 Member States had responded to the Chairman's letters requesting additional information.”

“Data confirmed by Iraqi officials testify to the return of proceeds resulting from such freezes to the Iraqis through the DFI coming from 26 countries, in an amount exceeding $1 billion. This month, the first movable asset - an executive jet - was returned to Iraq, thanks to the efforts of the Government of Liechtenstein and other Member States. I am also satisfied to report to the Council that this month the Committee adopted its delisting guidelines. That, Sir, is our factual work. I should like to add that it was rewarding to work for such a noble cause as facilitating the return to Iraqis of what is rightfully theirs and contributing to the redress of one major injustice inflicted by the dictatorship on its own people.”

“I do not intend to describe that work in detail, since the 2004 annual report is on the website and the one for 2005 will be issued shortly. Allow me only a few brief comments here. The 1518 Committee was entrusted with the mandate to continue managing the list of individuals and entities associated with the deposed Iraqi regime in connection with the removal of financial and other assets from the country. Such funds, or other assets and economic resources, were to be frozen and repatriated to the Development Fund for Iraq (DFI). At this moment, the list of individuals comprises 89 names, while the list of entities has 206. I am pleased to report that the regime put in place by successive resolutions of the Security Council in that regard works.”

“Before starting, allow me to note that, while in 2004 the double tasking of an elected member at the helm of subsidiary bodies was rather rare, the trend encompassed many of my distinguished colleagues beginning this year. That not only makes elected tenures in the Council an ever more complex undertaking, but also raises the question of the modalities in which the Council as such can effectively and systematically oversee the evolution of the work of its subsidiary bodies. I will speak first on the 1518 Committee. We conducted eight meetings in the interval under review. A great deal of work was undertaken informally among Committee members and in cooperation with the new Iraqi Mission to the United Nations.”

“I can safely state at this point that we put the best resources behind those two commitments, and I have put all my energy into rising to the expectations of the Council, and ultimately of the international community, in two crucial areas: that of restoring to the Iraqi people the funds and assets estranged from them by the former regime of Saddam Hussein, and of preventing weapons of mass destruction from falling into the hands of non- State actors, including terrorists. The Council will therefore have to bear with me for one slightly longer presentation covering both mandates, but I will try to be quintessential on each.”

“It is not without a certain sense of sorrow that I proceed with the presentation of the discharge reports as outgoing Chairman of the 1518 and 1540 Committees of the Security Council, all the more so since for once, this afternoon, the action does not really seem to be in this Council. Both Committees that I had the honour to preside over had in common - beyond certain differences - the fact that they were novel undertakings of the Council, with the full range of challenges and opportunities that come with such endeavours.”

“We also note, in this regard, that 22 out of the 44 accused currently awaiting trial have been provisionally released, some of them indicted for alleged crimes committed in that province. We would very much welcome the inclusion in the next report to be submitted to the Council of a separate annex containing the names of the indictees who have been released and, eventually, the grounds on which those indictees have been provisionally released.”

“We therefore encourage the officials of both Tribunals to pursue their efforts to consolidate the capacities of domestic criminal justice systems to deal with such cases. We deem it equally important that all countries concerned continue the process of adapting their legal frameworks so as to comply with the existing international legal standards. As indicated in the assessment submitted by the ICTY Prosecutor, one of the main concerns of her Office with regard to Kosovo-related cases has to do with the insufficient protection of witnesses. According to Ambassador Eide's recent statement before the Council, quoted in the aforementioned assessment, intimidation of witnesses is a very serious problem in Kosovo, as it represents a daily challenge for the prosecution.”

“In particular, we welcome the efforts by both the ICTY and ICTR to continuously improve the effectiveness of the proceedings before the two Tribunals and the talks they conducted with the Governments of relevant countries on the transfer of cases to domestic jurisdictions. As repeatedly stated by my delegation, transfer of cases involving medium- and low-level accused to national jurisdictions is an essential component of the completion strategy. While a number of cases have already been referred to the newly established Special War Crimes Chamber in Sarajevo and to local courts in Croatia, no such cases have yet been transferred to either Serbia and Montenegro or Rwanda.”

“It remains our belief that their arrest and transfer to The Hague would clear the path to increased participation by Western Balkan countries in European and Euro-Atlantic processes. Regarding the work of the ICTR and its Chief Prosecutor, my delegation appreciates the information he has just presented with regard to the most prominent fugitive indicted by that Tribunal, Fe'licien Kabuga. We are encouraged to note the significant progress achieved so far by both Tribunals in implementing the terms of their respective completion strategies as set out in Security Council resolutions 1503 (2003) and 1534 (2004).”

“The level of cooperation with the Tribunal extended by Croatian authorities throughout the reporting period, culminating in their decisive contribution to locating General Gotovina, sets the bar high for all the countries in the region that are still lagging behind to varying degrees in fully complying with their Tribunal obligations. We note, however, positive developments in the cooperation by all countries concerned with the Tribunal, which has resulted, inter alia, in the surrender to the ICTY of 20 new fugitives over the past year. Romania also notes with satisfaction that the number of indictees still at large has been reduced to six and encourages all relevant actors - States in the region above all - to step up their efforts to bring the remaining fugitives to justice.”

“I should also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Judge Fausto Pocar upon his recent election as President of ICTY and to wish him every success in his future endeavours. The apprehension and transfer of General Ante Gotovina to ICTY custody represents the most significant achievement of the last six months and, at the same time, a landmark in the overall activity of the Tribunal. I should like to commend, in this regard, the ICTY Prosecutor for her tireless efforts to arrest and bring to justice the highest-level alleged perpetrators of the most serious crimes known to mankind, committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia.”

We value the depth and the breadth of the briefings we have just heard, especially since this is a time of reflection on the legacy of these landmark international jurisdictions. I am pleased to report that during the reporting period Romania continued to take concrete steps in support of ICTY work in particular.”

“We have designed solid safeguards and, with the valuable help of other good-faith partners, we have been able to move to concrete actions. From now on, it will only take applied willingness to promote and implement our own mechanisms for protection.”

“At this point, I would also like to add that our chances of successfully protecting civilians in armed conflict increase significantly when we understand the need to engage regional organizations and other key partners in that endeavour. Like other delegations that have spoken here, we have been consistently in favour of regional thinking in the Council's actions and of mutually reinforcing cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations. The previous practice of this Council in the field of protection of civilians in armed conflict and our current reflection on the matter, including in the preparation of the new draft resolution, show clearly that we have gone beyond the search for a mere vision of protection.”

“It is our desire, of course, that the measures we take here have an immediate and relieving impact on civilians trapped in armed conflict. Much depends, however, not only on the action of the Security Council, but on the willingness of States to assume responsibility for protecting their own citizens. My delegation is working with members of the Security Council to have this issue reflected as a matter of principle in the new draft resolution that we are negotiating on the protection of civilians in armed conflict. After five years, we are close to the adoption of that new draft resolution, which we hope will make a difference and stand as a more coherent and comprehensive response and approach by the Security Council.”

“We have mandated peacekeepers to ensure the protection of civilians. We have activated mechanisms to end impunity and stop abuses in the Darfur region of the Sudan, northern Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Following our call, the International Criminal Court is bringing to justice the perpetrators of the most serious crimes in those conflict situations. We have pledged full support for the appointment of a Special Adviser of the Secretary- General on the Prevention of Genocide. We have called for unimpeded humanitarian access and reacted promptly when humanitarian workers and United Nations personnel have themselves become targets. Gaps remain, without a doubt, and the sober representation contained in the report of the Secretary- General that is before us is indeed alarming.”

“While acknowledging the disturbing facts that have been presented to us this morning, we are also considering today all possible options for consolidating the practice of protection of civilians in armed conflict. Let me, in light of the brief time at our disposal, highlight what is of particular importance to my country. Under the British presidency, our delegations are working progressively towards the adoption of a new resolution - one that we have awaited these past five years - on the protection of civilians in armed conflict. Our most recent resolution, 1296 (2000), raised the human rights and humanitarian dimension higher on the working agenda of the Security Council. Since then, we have not hesitated to deal with the devastating effects of armed conflict on civilian populations.”

“I should like to start by commending your presidency, Sir, for convening this open debate and for its unflagging dedication to the topic at hand. Allow me to point out that Romania associates itself with the statement soon to be made by you on behalf of the European Union. In my turn, I would certainly like to join others in thanking Under-Secretary-General and Emergency Relief Coordinator Egeland for his briefing, as well as Vice-President Forster for his inspiring intervention and, more generally, to commend through him the valuable work relentlessly pursued by the International Committee of the Red Cross to protect victims everywhere.”

“Romania is also developing sustained cooperation with Bosnia and Herzegovina on the political and economic levels, having as well a presence in the country in terms of soldiers and police officers participating in the international forces. Ten years after the Dayton Peace Agreement, we hope that Bosnia and Herzegovina can once and for all put the years of conflict behind it, while still recalling the tragic lessons of Srebrenica, as the representative of the United Kingdom rightly said, and that the country will be able decisively to commit itself to the common European destiny as described at the Thessaloniki Summit.”

“The only way to become integrated into the European Union and NATO is by establishing a modern State based on the rule of law, reform of the economy and the strengthening of institutional capacities, internal stability and good- neighbourly relations. Here, I should like to underscore that full cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia remains a basic milestone on Bosnia and Herzegovina's road towards membership in NATO and the European Union. Romania is also interested in progress made and progress planned in strengthening the police force and in combating organized crime. We welcome the strength of Bosnia and Herzegovina's regional cooperation activities, including in the context of the Southeast European Cooperation Initiative.”

“Ever since Romania began serving in the Security Council, it has constantly underscored the potential for peacemaking and change inherent in European and Euro-Atlantic rapprochement for the Western Balkans. The success seen thus far in Bosnia and Herzegovina is convincing confirmation of this point of view. In this context, we see very clearly that Bosnia and Herzegovina is making palpable progress in all areas that are important for State cohesion. This shows that Bosnia and Herzegovina is still on the right path. Of course, much still remains to be done, and consequently we encourage the Bosnia and Herzegovina authorities to speed up the necessary reforms in these areas.”

We pay the greatest possible attention to its stability, its development and the full implementation of the Dayton agreement, as well as the vital reforms required for its European integration. Having said this, we are glad to learn the good news about Sarajevo and, more particularly, the opening and negotiations on a Stabilization and Association Agreement with the European Union. This progress is, to a large extent, the result stemming from the endeavours and resolve of the people and Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the outstanding work done by Lord Ashdown and his Office, along with the constant support of the European Union, NATO and other international organizations.”

I also wish to thank Lord Ashdown for his very interesting briefing, which serves to supplement a very instructive and comprehensive report. I would like to take this opportunity to convey to him our great gratitude and appreciation for his outstanding and, I would say, memorable work in Sarajevo. I wish also to place on record our appreciation for the activities of the European Union Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina (EUFOR). This force has successfully played a key role in stabilizing the peace, in keeping with the terms of the Dayton agreement, in cooperation with the presence of NATO.”
