  1. “Leonard She Okitundu, who, in these very difficult times, has taken the trouble to travel and be with us. We thank him most sincerely for his comprehensive and detailed statement to this Council on the situation in the Congo.”

  2. “It is in this regard that my delegation would like to express our deep thanks and appreciation to the Government of the Republic of South Africa for the offer to host the inter-Congolese talks next month and for its commitment to bear the larger part of the cost. This is a selfless sacrifice by the Government and people of South Africa in the search for peace. It is our hope and conviction that the Congolese parties, including all the political parties and civil society, will seize that opportunity to map out a new political order for their country without further delay. In conclusion, my delegation would like to welcome the presence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mr.”

  3. “We hope that issues relating to representation and funding will be resolved by the time the next meeting takes place in order for the Congolese parties to concentrate on more substantive matters relating to the future of the Congo. We urge them to set aside their partisan and regional interests and to demonstrate their continuing commitment to the inter-Congolese dialogue in the interest of their country and all the Congolese people, who yearn for the peace that has eluded them for so many years. We are, however, pleased to note the eagerness and readiness on all sides for the inter-Congolese dialogue to be reconvened as soon as possible.”

  4. “It is important that this is done as soon as possible in order to avoid a vacuum, inertia and distrust in the peace process. The holding of the inter-Congolese dialogue is of crucial importance; it is indispensable to the successful implementation of the Lusaka Agreement. We commend the facilitator, Sir Ketumile Masire, for his efforts to ensure that the dialogue takes place. We urge the Congolese parties to give Sir Ketumile their fullest cooperation in this regard. In the same vein, we reiterate the appeal to the international community to continue providing the necessary financial and logistical support to the facilitator to enable him to carry his important task to a successful conclusion. My delegation notes with regret that the long- awaited meeting in Addis Ababa this month did not produce the necessary results.”

  5. “My delegation views the withdrawal of foreign troops from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as well as the separation and redeployment of troops, as very significant progress in the overall efforts to bring peace to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We urge those parties whose forces still remain in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to take the necessary steps expected of them by the international community - that is, to begin and accelerate preparations for their withdrawal from the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This will engender confidence and trust in the peace process. We welcome the Secretary-General's recommendation to the Security Council of the authorization of the deployment of phase III of MONUC in order to sustain the momentum in the peace process.”

  6. “We commend the work of MONUC in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. My delegation is encouraged to note that the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo remains favourable and that the ceasefire in the country has been holding since January 2001. We commend the parties, to whom we give credit for their commitment to the Lusaka Ceasefire Agreement and to the realization of peace and stability not only in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but in the region as a whole. My delegation commends the Republic of Namibia for withdrawing all its troops from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We also welcome the withdrawal of some troops by Uganda.”

  7. “On behalf of my delegation, let me congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency for the month of October. I also congratulate your predecessor, Ambassador Levitte, and thank him for the manner in which he led the Council in September. My delegation wishes to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this important meeting on the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We also express our gratitude and appreciation for the ninth report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC). We welcome the recommendations contained in the report. We also wish to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary- General, Mr. Ngongi, for his very important and useful introductory statement.”

  8. “My delegation wishes to echo the sentiments expressed by other delegations that, regardless of the provisions of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, neither traditional troop-contributors meetings nor private formal meetings should be held in the Council Chamber. They should be in a format that allows a free exchange of views between the Council members and the troop-contributing countries, and they should include the necessary substantive briefings.”

  9. “We welcome the efforts being made by the Security Council on consultations. However, we feel that a lot more should be done to make them more meaningful. The involvement of troop-contributing countries in the planning and implementation stages could go a long way in improving the conduct of peacekeeping operations. The consultations with Security Council members held before and after the missions to Sierra Leone and East Timor were very useful. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the traditional troop-contributors meetings held to discuss the Secretary-General's reports.”

  10. “The Security Council should involve the troop- contributing countries in the consultation process in a manner that is institutional and meaningful. This process should start at the earliest stage of drawing up a peacekeeping operation and should continue until its completion. Paragraph 61 of the Brahimi report states that member countries contributing formed military units to an operation should be invited to attend Secretariat briefings of the Security Council pertaining to crises that affect the safety and security of the mission's personnel or to a change or reinterpretation of a mission's mandate with respect to the use of force. My delegation wishes to state that whenever the use of peacekeeping forces is contemplated, the Security Council should adhere to the provisions of Article 43 and Article 44 of the United Nations Charter.”

  11. “The non-availability of adequate resources has led to the failure of a number of peacekeeping operations in the developing world, especially in Africa. My delegation therefore strongly appeals to the Security Council to seriously address this question. Let me commend the members of the Security Council for accepting the Brahimi Panel recommendations on consultations with troop- contributing countries. We are encouraged by the fact that they underlined the importance of an improved system of consultation among the troop-contributing countries, the Secretary-General and the Security Council. Although we welcome the steps taken so far by the Security Council, we believe that they fall far short of what was envisaged in the Brahimi report or, indeed, what we, the troop-contributing countries, would like to see.”

  12. “It is also a time to take advantage of the support and enthusiasm generated by the report of the Panel on United Nations Peace Operations. In contributing to today's debate, I will confine my remarks to two points: first, the need for peacekeeping operations to have clear, credible and achievable mandates and adequate resources, and secondly, the need for greater cooperation and closer and meaningful consultations between the Security Council and the troop-contributing countries. While encouraged with the Security Council's resolve to give peacekeeping operations clear, credible and achievable mandates, we have been disappointed to note that the question of adequate resources for these operations seems to have received very little attention.”

  13. “At the outset, my delegation would like to congratulate the new non- permanent members of the Security Council. We are confident that they will be able to make an important contribution to the work of the Council. My delegation wishes also to express its deep appreciation to the outgoing non-permanent members of the Council for the exemplary manner in which they discharged their responsibilities. Allow me to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of January 2001, the start of the new millennium. I would also like to put on record my country's appreciation for the initiative to hold this meeting today. We could not agree more that this is an appropriate moment to review measures that could be taken to strengthen the effectiveness of United Nations peacekeeping operations.”
