  4. “It is also essential to secure and strengthen necessary expertise to serve the diverse requirements of peacebuilding activities, including in the areas of governance and the rule of law. In this regard, we look forward to the work of the Senior Advisory Group for the Review of International Civilian Capacities, launched by the Secretary-General last month. The Security Council must continue its strong engagement in favour of peacebuilding, and we hope to see the Peacebuilding Commission obtain enhanced results through the ongoing review process. Building on today's debate, Japan will continue to participate actively in the efforts towards achieving sustainable peace in post-conflict countries. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. I now invite His Excellency Mr.”

  5. “Will the pursuit of justice by the international community advance the effort for national reconciliation? Does the hiring of local experts by international programmes affect the national Government's efforts at capacity-building? If we overlook these issues, the fundamental goal of building the country's self-reliance will not be achieved. The international community must respect the ownership and capacity-building efforts of the post-conflict country. Thirdly, peacebuilding requires long-term engagement and sustainable resources. We first need to make the best possible use of funds available for the immediate aftermath of a conflict - for example, the Peacebuilding Fund. But such funds must be followed by medium- and long-term resources from bilateral and multilateral programmes.”

  6. “In Sierra Leone, the Peacebuilding Commission and the Government of Sierra Leone made concerted efforts to formulate a Peacebuilding Cooperation Framework, which included such socio- economic development measures as energy assistance, 3 together with measures to create political stability and security. The international community is currently assisting the country under this framework. A framework of this kind should serve as a model for other peacebuilding strategies. Secondly, the assistance and involvement of the international community may have conflicting impacts on the ownership efforts of a post-conflict country. For instance, will provision of food assistance be consistent with efforts to promote domestic agricultural production?”

  7. “They should not take up weapons but rather engage in productive work, which will enable them to participate in the reconstruction of their nation and its communities. Thus, they can provide a foundation for socio- economic development, which will lead to the true consolidation of peace. Creating a long-lasting peace requires sustained cooperation between a post-conflict country and the international community. In this connection, I would like to highlight three points. First, we should think about how efforts for peacebuilding can be carried out in an integrated manner.”

  8. “In order to break the vicious circle of social instability and prevent the recurrence of conflicts, it is important that conflict-affected people be provided with basic services and thereby enjoy a peace dividend. It is essential, from the viewpoint of human security, to protect and empower individuals, including women and the vulnerable. Refugees, internally displaced persons and ex-combatants must be reintegrated into society. We need to generate conditions that are conducive to making peace irreversible through promoting coexistence and reconciliation. Youth unemployment is a common issue of serious concern in many countries in the post-conflict stage. I therefore propose that, when assistance is extended to such countries, high priority be attached to the creation of youth employment. Young people represent the future of a country.”

  9. “The building of 10-31721 national police force capacity is an especially urgent task, for instance, in Haiti and Timor-Leste. We recently lost many of our dear colleagues in the earthquake in Haiti, including Mr. Hedi Annabi, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and another friend, Mr. Takahisa Kawakami, in Dili last month, who, as the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General at the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT), had not yet fulfilled his aspiration to build the national police of that young nation. I call upon the international community to continue the efforts of these dedicated United Nations staff members by striving harder to enhance national police capacity in many post-conflict countries.”

  10. “It is also important that the fruits of democratic elections, which include political stability, be shared among all the people, including those who did not prevail, and not simply be reserved for the winners. This requires as its foundation the achievement of peaceful coexistence and reconciliation among parties to the conflict. In the States that comprised the former Yugoslavia, especially Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was most heavily affected by the conflict, continuous efforts have been made to that end. Afghanistan, where self-reliant efforts are being made for reconciliation and reintegration, also requires the support and cooperation of the international community. With regard to security, peacekeeping operations have a significant role to play and lay the groundwork for promoting security sector reform.”

  11. “These are critical issues to which the international community has yet to find a definitive answer. I believe that the key to solving them is for people in a post-conflict situation to have hope for the future. To this end, how can political stability and security be achieved in parallel with social stability? How can a comprehensive peacebuilding strategy be created, with the assistance of the international community? I look forward to a lively discussion on these points. When we think about peacebuilding, we should first of all emphasize the importance of political leaders implementing a peace agreement with steadfast determination.”

  12. “10-31721 I wish to draw the attention of the members of the Council to document S/2010/ 167, which contains a letter dated 1 April 2010 from the Permanent Representative of Japan to the Secretary-General, transmitting a concept paper for this debate. I should now like to make an opening statement in my national capacity. It is a great honour for me to convene an open debate of the Security Council on a very important topic - post-conflict peacebuilding. At the outset, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Secretary-General, His Excellency Mr. Ban Ki-moon, and to the ministers and special guests who have travelled a great distance to share their experience and insights at this meeting. How do conflicts recur even after a ceasefire is successfully concluded? Why does peace not take root in post-conflict countries?”
