  1. “We further reiterate our respect for the protection of women's rights and gender mainstreaming throughout any peace process. It is important to recognize that women and girls are essential pillars of all societies and that their active empowerment and participation in all areas of political, social, cultural and economic life remains crucial.”

  2. “If all efforts fail to stop a conflict, international actors must be armed with the requisite information to address cases of sexual violence and abuse against women and to end the impunity of the perpetrators of such acts. We therefore look forward to the implementation of resolution 1820 (2008), which notes that women and girls are particularly targeted by the use of sexual violence and stresses that such violence can significantly exacerbate conflicts and impede peace processes. In conclusion, the Kingdom of Swaziland supports the role of the Security Council in the prevention of conflicts, peacekeeping and post-conflict reconstruction. The participation of women in each stage of the peace process should be enhanced and more attention should be given to their status and role.”

  3. “Despite notable progress made towards the full implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), regrettably violence against women persists in conflict zones throughout the world. Women and girls are still targets in such deplorable acts as rape and other forms of sexual violence. Unfortunately, such acts have severe consequences, such as early and unwanted pregnancies, the contraction of HIV and AIDS, psychological trauma and an increase in the number of displaced persons, especially women and children. To that end, it is our firm belief that no effort should be spared to prevent conflict. More resources should also be devoted to education and to integrating women into all levels of society, including decision- making.”

  4. “The Network is in line with the Women's Network Committee of the Southern African Regional Police Chief Council Organization. The main objective of the Network is to promote and implement SADC and other international instruments related to the elimination of all forms of discrimination and violence against women. The Network Committee will enhance the efforts of our gender coordinating unit and other relevant stakeholders. It is also my Government's desire to train a women's service corps that will be able to participate in regional peace support initiatives. In that respect, we urge our international partners to assist us in achieving that objective within our security sector.”

  5. “The Kingdom of Swaziland embraces a vision of harmonizing the interplay between development, peace and security. In the same spirit, we recognize the importance of ensuring respect for the equal rights of women in the security sector of our country and the subregion. We attach great importance to the participation of women in peace processes and decision-making. We are a signatory to the 2008 SADC Protocol on Gender and Development. The Protocol represents the beginning of the road towards ensuring that States parties put in place measures to ensure that women have equal representation and participation in key decision-making positions in conflict resolution and peacebuilding processes by 2015. We have also established the Royal Swaziland Police Gender Network, which was launched on 10 April 2008.”

  6. “This year marks the eighth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), which examines issues relating to women, peace and security in peace negotiations, decision-making, refugee camps, mine clearance and sanctions. One of the main objectives of resolution 1325 (2000) is gender mainstreaming in all aspects of peace and security. It advocates major changes in procedure, delivery, attitudes and habits of the international community that are necessary to integrate women's issues into disarmament, demobilization and reintegration. The resolution has played a key role in changing approaches and attitudes towards women. The critical role of Member States in the full and effective implementation of the resolution therefore cannot be overemphasized.”

  7. “I thank you, Sir, for organizing this meeting and for the opportunity to participate in these important deliberations focusing on women's equal participation and full involvement in all efforts to maintain peace and security. At the outset, my delegation wishes to align itself with the statement delivered by the representative of the Republic of South Africa on behalf of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). We further thank the Secretary-General for his report, contained in document S/2008/622, and we take note of its references to and assessment of measures to implement resolutions 1325 (2000) and 1820 (2008).”

  8. “Like other countries, the Kingdom of Swaziland believes that strengthening the sanctions regime against UNITA is not an end in itself. Rather, it is a tool to create the necessary conditions for a final political solution to the Angolan question. The international community can only do well by stepping up its support for Angola and thereby ensuring that national reconciliation until nation-building is achieved.”

  9. “We are grateful to those Member States that have adopted new measures against UNITA to strengthen the Monitoring Mechanism. In order to ensure this, SADC, among others, is considering the introduction of mobile radar systems to be deployed in the region for the purpose of detecting illegal flight activities across national borders. We also look forward to the report of the study commissioned by the Monitoring Mechanism to locate and investigate the financial assets of UNITA. To that endeavour, we further appeal to Member States to cooperate fully with the Monitoring Mechanism to ensure that it fulfils its mandate. It is our hope that peace and stability will return in Angola. By the impact they have had so far, the measures are proving to be a success.”

  10. “Our thanks also go to the Monitoring Mechanism for maintaining the momentum of pressure in further identifying the illicit activities of UNITA and its collaborators, who seek to further undermine the United Nations sanctions regime. The current report of the sanctions Committee contained in document S/2000/1225 is indicative of the hard work the Committee is facing, which, as we all are aware, borders on the cooperation of Member States to realize the Committee's objectives. In this regard, it is essential for each Member State to fully comply with all Security Council resolutions on this issue, including cooperation by those working with UNITA to support the Monitoring Mechanism set up in the terms of resolution 1295 (2000).”

  11. “As a matter of fact, their continued menace in the country has brought nothing but peril to the Angolan people, leaving the international community with no option but to find other means with which to end the conflict, which remains an obstacle to peace, reconciliation and reconstruction in that country. Today, this distinguished body is yet again called upon to review further sanction violations by UNITA and its friends. In that regard, and through the President of the Council, we extend our profound appreciation to the Chairman of the sanctions Committee, Ambassador Ryan of Ireland, for the report that further elaborates on the sanctions-busting activities of UNITA.”

  12. “A little over a year ago, we welcomed with great relief the report of the Council's sanctions Committee on Angola in document S/2000/83, which gave a detailed account of the situation in Angola and detailed recommendations for addressing the sanctions-busting activities of UNITA. Some of those recommendations in that report have already been implemented, and my delegation commends the Security Council for continuing to vigorously pursue this matter. It is common knowledge that UNITA and its leader, Savimbi, have constantly refused to abide by the peace initiatives they concluded with the Angolan Government and, instead, have resorted to the use of armed force.”

  13. “At the outset permit me to express the pleasure of my delegation in seeing the Minister of Angola, Mr. Miranda, in our midst. My delegation joins previous speakers in thanking the President of the Council for convening this important open briefing to discuss the interim report of the Monitoring Mechanism on Angola sanctions established by the Security Council in accordance with its resolution 1295 (2000) regarding violations of sanctions against UNITA - an issue of critical importance to my country and to the entire subregion of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).”
