1. “In connection with the first programme outlined in the report (S/2004/117), my delegation completely agrees that providing assistance to the justice system and administrative structures is essential for the viability and political stability of Timor-Leste. We are concerned about delays in the administration ofjustice and shortcomings in human rights procedures, and we agree that capacities in this field must be strengthened. In connection with the second programme, the training of the police force, we agree that we must continue to contribute to and support the process of training the National Police of Timor-Leste. We particularly appreciate the fact that 3,024 members of the police force are already patrolling, in every district in the country.”

2. “Mr. Mufioz (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): I thank Under-Secretary-General Jean-Marie Guehenno for presenting the report of 13 February on Timor-Leste (S/2004/117). We are particularly grateful for the presence of Minister Jose Ramos-Horta, with whose country Chile has deep ties of friendship. We appreciate the analysis of the Secretary-General's technical assessment mission of early January, which evaluated on the ground the assistance necessary for strengthening Timor-Leste's democratic foundations and provided projections for such assistance beyond May of this year. I would like to begin by expressing support for the Secretary-General's proposal to extend the current United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET) for a further 12-month consolidation stage.”

3. “The objective of such a mission would be to assess on the ground the most urgent needs of the provisional Governments of Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo with respect to security sector reform, the establishment of the rule of law and the preparations for general elections at the end of 2004, at the beginning of 2005 and in June 2005. Finally, we trust that the progress we have seen will be consolidated and improved upon with the full cooperation ofthe Organization.”

4. “In the context of the United Nations, Chile has always supported solutions and initiatives aimed at promoting the interests of the African continent, first by promoting the decolonization process, later through the bodies created in the United Nations towards that end and, more recently, by providing troops from our country's armed forces for peace efforts in the region. I take this opportunity to reaffirm the need to take the integrated approach with respect to Africa promoted by the Secretary-General. In that context, my country believes that the Security Council should consider in the coming months the possibility of organizing another mission to the Central African region.”

5. “The commencement of the preparatory process for a conference has led to an increase in the activities of the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary- General for the Great Lakes Region - an office that unfortunately has neither the staff nor the budget necessary to meet the tasks that lie ahead. That requires that the Council analyse in detail the mandates of the various offices and missions in Central Africa in the light of the new scenario before us and that it determine whether adjustments are needed to improve their efficiency. A firm and lasting peace in the region is today an inescapable imperative. An African continent that has economic stability and that invests in the development of its people would be a major contribution by the United Nations system.”

6. “That is all the more necessary since there is a serious risk that the signs of peace that we are seeing on the horizon could recede if they are not accompanied by an improvement in the living conditions of Burundi's population. The significant progress of the peace processes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Burundi provides an important impetus for the idea of holding an international conference on the Great Lakes region. We note with satisfaction the progress made over the past six months in designing and elaborating a process to promote substantive dialogue among the countries central to such a conference, the United Nations, the African Union and the donor community.”

7. “It is our hope that the statement recently made by Agathon Rwasa, the leader of the Palipehutu-Forces nationales de liberation movement, that he would enter into negotiations with the Government of President Ndayizeye will lead to the prompt incorporation of that movement into the Arusha peace process. The challenges of Burundi's transition process continue to require the full attention and support of the Security Council and the rest of the international community. In that connection, the recommendations made by the mission remain fully valid - particularly the appeal to donor countries to honour the pledges made at the Paris and Geneva conferences.”

8. “In this context, the reform of the security sector, the consolidation of the rule of law, respect for human rights and the preparation for future general elections are priority objectives. The situation in Burundi, for its part, has also seen important progress and the prospects for lasting peace have improved. Since the Council mission's visit to Bujumbura, we have witnessed the incorporation of the rebel movements Conseil national pour la defense de la democratie-Forces nationales pour la defense de la democratie, headed by Pierre Nkurunziza, into the institutions of the provisional Government.”

9. “As has been noted here, the recent murder in Ituri of a Kenyan staff member of the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo reminds us that instability and violence still prevail in the north-eastern part of the country. My country vigorously condemns acts of violence, murder and other such crimes perpetrated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in particular against the civilian population. Such acts must not go unpunished and the perpetrators must sooner or later answer for them. This is a challenge to the entire international community, but more fundamentally to the Congolese themselves and especially to the transitional Government. We support the report's conclusions regarding the need for the transitional Government to establish clear priorities in order to ensure the political transition.”

10. “We welcome the progress made in the process of establishing the transitional Government in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Striking advances have also been made in the establishment of good-neighbourly relations and in the disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and resettlement process for the armed Ugandan, Rwandan and Burundian elements in the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In spite ofthe progress made at the national level, as we know, the situation in the Ituri district and in the Kivus has been characterized by instability and by ongoing grave abuses of human rights committed by various rebel movements.”

11. “Mr. Munoz (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, I wish to thank Mr. Tuliameni Kalomoh for his introduction to the Secretary-General's report on the Security Council mission to Central Africa. My delegation considers this exercise to be timely and necessary because the Council's missions have become a fundamental instrument in its decision- making process and a clear demonstration of our interest in the processes under way in the countries we visit. In the case of Central Africa, the mission that was headed by Ambassador de La Sabliere in June 2003 was the fourth since the Security Council resumed in 1999 its practice of sending missions to the field. As some of the preceding speakers have already indicated, since the dispatch of the mission to Central Africa there have been encouraging signs of progress in the region.”

22. “The peace process in Liberia has entered a phase that we hope will be irreversible, as some believe it is. For that reason, we should accelerate the deployment of the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) in the interior of the country. In Sierra Leone, growing stability has made it possible to carry out the plan for the drawdown of the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL) in accordance with the phases set out in resolution 1492 (2003) and to transfer gradually responsibilities for security, police and local armed forces. In the meantime, it is necessary for the international community to continue to provide financial support to UNAMSIL. All in all, we are seeing significant progress, and we hope that that lasting peace and economic stability in West Africa will be one of the best contributions the United Nations can make.”

We are satisfied at progress in the implementation of the recommendations of the Council mission to West Africa, and we commend the Secretary-General on his initiative to hold consultations on cross-border issues, because a regional approach is increasingly necessary. In the case of Guinea-Bissau, the political process should lead to free elections this year. The Economic and Social Council has continued its work through its Ad Hoc Advisory Group based on an innovative approach - which we commend - in order to construct in the post-conflict phase. The favourable developments in C6te d'Ivoire, we hope, will enable the establishment in the near future of a new United Nations peacekeeping mission with a robust mandate.”

That is why it is important for the Security Council to carry out in a comprehensive and effective manner programmes for disarmament, demobilization and reintegration in post-conflict situations. Moreover, the weapons-exporting countries need to assume a greater degree of responsibility in their operations relative to small arms and light weapons.

Repeatedly and with justified alarm, the specialized reports on small arms and light weapons published by various sources in recent years agree in warning that in various regions of the world there is a marked trend towards the excessive accumulation of and illicit trafficking in this type of arms, which are statistically demonstrated to be the principal scourge and cause of civilian deaths - in particular of children and women - of social misery and of internal and international conflicts, which gravely hinder the development of peoples.

At this meeting the Security Council will hear a briefing by Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan. As this is the last time Mr. Brahimi will deliver a briefing in that capacity, I wish to take this opportunity on behalf of all the members of the Council to pay a well deserved tribute to him for his outstanding contributions to the cause of peace and the promotion of democracy in Afghanistan.
