  1. “While Uganda commends the United Nations system for coping with various African situations, with varying degrees of success, it has been done mainly through political and peacekeeping tools. United Nations peacekeeping has been the most visible tool and in several cases it has been very effective. By contrast, United Nations conflict prevention and mediation efforts have been less visible and United Nations coordination of integrated programmes to address the root causes of conflict has been even less effective. That can clearly be seen by analyzing the resources allocated to the new peacebuilding architecture. It is incumbent upon us to find ways of ensuring predictable and sustainable financing for regional and subregional organizations, especially in cases where they carry out notjust peacekeeping but also peacebuilding initiatives.”

  2. “In order to foster that relationship further, the United Nations needs to familiarize itself with the AU institutional design, its working methods, practices and capacities and vice versa. Both organizations need to commit to exercising diligence, transparency and good-will towards a workable partnership. The United Nations should take maximum advantage of the strengths and roles that regional organizations such as the African Union and subregional organizations such as the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the Southern African Development Community and the Economic Community of West African States can play. We should build on the lessons of our past and current experiences to create ever more innovative and flexible partnerships that draw on respective strengths, while encouraging expanded cooperation and dialogue.”

  3. “Ghana and Nigeria are among the police contributors. The peace dividend from joint efforts within the AMISOM. family cannot be overstated. We now have businesses flourishing in Mogadishu and investors have the confidence to venture into Somalia. The seaport is also vibrant and airlines have reopened their flight routes into Somalia. In conclusion, even though Africa seems to have the greatest security challenges, it is also the place where a partnership has the highest potential to make an impact. The United Nations needs to fast-track its efforts to broaden the contributor base by working with partners at the regional and subregional levels. It should take advantage of those capacities and we welcome the efforts so far taken in that regard.”

  4. “In our view, Madam President, resolution 1863 (2009) marked the turning point for AMISOM's tangible successes. The Council responded positively by renewing the AMISOM. mandate for another six months and authorizing the Mission to take all necessary measures to protect key infrastructure in Somalia as well as to create the appropriate security conditions for the delivery of humanitarian aid. It also requested that the African Union maintain the AMISOM. deployment and reinforce the original 8,000 troop deployment in order to enhance the Mission's capability to carry out an unfettered peace enforcement mandate and to protect key installations around Mogadishu. AMISOM. has transitioned beyond Burundi and Uganda, and now we have Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Sierra Leone also providing troops.”

  5. “The Ugandan Government therefore requested that the Security Council strengthen the mandate of AMISOM to a more robust one so that it could dislodge militants who had increased attacks on the Somali Government. In our statement to the Security Council at that time (see S/PV.6068), my delegation argued that the wording of the mandates rendered AMISOM. an observer in an active conflict. This is a place where partnerships between the African Union and the Security Council can come in the wording of such mandates. AMISOM had become a peacekeeping force in an environment that was not peaceful. In addition, there was a need for at least 16,000 troops in Somalia ifthe situation obtaining then was to be contained and for the relevance of the troop presence to be felt.”

  6. “That is a major area where consistency and predictability are required for regional partnerships to be successful. Allow me to give an example of a successful partnership which has led to greater global security. Following the establishment of AMISOM, the Security Council requested the Secretary-General to provide a United Nations logistical support package to AMISOM, including equipment and services, until 1 June 2009 or until the Council reached a decision on establishing a United Nations force. By that time, it was clear to the AU that the troops were operating in an untenable situation and required an adjustment in their mandate.”

  7. “The implementation of peacekeeping mandates has, in some cases, also been severely hampered due to a variety of factors, including insufficient troop numbers, challenges faced by the Council in overseeing the management of integrated operations, difficulties in generating and quickly deploying well-equipped troops and competent civilian capacity. Further challenges to global security include the issue of resources for regional organizations. Whereas the African Union has shown willingness to participate in peacekeeping operations, those initiatives lie largely in the hands of under-resourced regional countries. In the past, the Security Council has hesitated to provide the degree of practical and material support in the peacekeeping context that the AU Peace and Security Council has requested.”

  8. “The concept of a United Nations-supported regional force, like the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), is simply an evolving construct that can be traced back to the United Nations Mission in Liberia takeover from the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group in Liberia in 1990, the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur in 2004, the Force Integration Brigade in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the African-led International Support Mission in Mali and the African-led International Support Mission in the Central African Republic.”

  9. “My delegation is of the view that regional and subregional organizations require the political support of the United Nations and international community for successful preventive diplomacy and crisis management, not unlike what the East African Community has received in its Burundi political intervention or the Intergovernmental Authority on Development in the South Sudan civil war. However, we would like to partner with the Security Council in those initiatives. The Council needs to work hand in hand with affected countries on procedural issues and the drafting of press and presidential statements and resolutions that concern areas of operation. I will briefly state why. My delegation would like to emphasize the importance of strengthening the United Nations-AU partnership.”

  10. “Ugandan President Museveni has said that in some cases, even before the international forces acquaint themselves with the names of the protagonists in a conflict situation, regional actors might have made an impact in the early stages of such a conflict. Regional and subregional organizations are at the centre of promoting cooperation and integration in such areas as trade and investment, infrastructure development and critical sectors, in the case of Uganda, such as agriculture, energy, water and security, as well as the fostering of private-sector partnerships. Uganda believes that, due to the leverage regional and subregional organizations have had within our respective countries, they can, and often do, provide useful forums for policy coordination and harmonization on various important multilateral processes.”

  11. “Part of the objective was for Africa to respond to various conflicts on the continent and to reestablish sustainable peace and security, not just for individual Member States, but for the region as a whole. Africa further came up with its own system to address a broad spectrum of matters, including peace and security, by launching the African Peace and Security Architecture, leading to the creation of the African Union Peace and Security Council. My delegation believes that global security cannot be achieved without cooperation with regional organizations. Given their in-depth understanding of respective regions as well as their geographic proximity to challenging environments, regional and subregional organizations are often uniquely positioned to understand the particular local dynamics and root causes of those challenges.”

  12. “Article 52 of the Charter of the United Nations makes provision for the existence of regional arrangements or agencies for dealing with matters relating to the maintenance of international peace and security as are appropriate for regional action, consistent with the purposes and principles of the United Nations. It was therefore appropriate that when Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali issued his June 1992 report "An Agenda for Peace" (S/24111), at the end of the Cold War, he highlighted the role that regional organizations could play in preventive diplomacy, early warning systems for crisis prevention, peacekeeping and post- conflict peacebuilding. In 2002, African Heads of State recast the objectives of the Organization of African Unity and transformed it into the African Union (AU).”

  13. “I would first like to congratulate you, Madam President, on Nigeria's accession to the presidency of the Council for this month and on your successful conduct of its affairs, and to thank you for holding this debate on the important topic of regional organizations and the contemporary challenges to global security. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Secretary-General for his briefing earlier today. My delegation aligns itself with the statement delivered by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement.”
