I now resume my functions as President of the Council. The next speaker inscribed on my list is the representative of Egypt. I invite him to take a seat at the Council table and to make his statement.”

“In this context, it is essential to strengthen local capacities for conflict prevention and to give needed assistance to ECOWAS for the implementation of its Mechanism for Conflict Prevention, Management, Resolution, Peacekeeping and Security. It is also essential to help the development efforts of the countries of the subregion and to support their processes ofintegration. Fourthly, it is urgently necessary to improve the coherence of the work of the Security Council and other intergovernmental bodies of the United Nations system in West Africa. It is important to take measures to develop cooperation and coordination among the intergovernmental bodies of the United Nations system that are capable of having a positive influence on the situation in West Africa.”

“Nonetheless, it remains a fact that a lasting solution to the crisis of refugees and displaced persons lies in the definitive settlement of the conflicts. I will not repeat here the initiatives and the actions taken by ECOWAS to resolve these conflicts. I will confine myself to emphasizing ECOWAS's commitment to giving priority on every occasion to a comprehensive political solution. Thirdly, the objective of each of the countries of the West African subregion is to build from within and from outside a viable political and economic framework that is based on strengthening and consolidating the rule of law, promoting a real policy of education and health, and fighting poverty - in sum, good governance. This objective deserves to be supported by the international community and by the United Nations.”

“My second point is that the urgent need for a solution to the crisis of refugees and displaced persons in West Africa presupposes that appropriate measures must be taken. In this regard, we are of the View that it is essential to ensure safe access to persons affected by the conflicts and to promote good conditions for their return to secured areas in their countries of origin. In this context, we encourage the strengthening of the presence of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Guinea and Liberia. We also urge the international community to give the needed support to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in order to provide assistance to persons affected by conflict in the subregion.”

“In this regard, we are very grateful to the Secretary-General for the establishment of the Office of a Special Representative of the Secretary-General for West Africa. This decision will be a useful contribution in giving the Security Council greater awareness of regional dynamics, in improving its reaction time and in promoting an effective partnership among the United Nations, ECOWAS and the other regional actors. I therefore want to assure the Secretary-General of the complete support of the authorities of the subregion in the implementation of the mandate that he has given to the office. I also want to mention and welcome the fact that UNAIDS and the European Union have already established a regional approach to West Africa.”

“The leaders of the West African subregion realized early that a country-by-country approach did not make it possible to understand the complexities of the many challenges West Africa faces. The Fall report was a timely confirmation of this fact, as it clearly established that the problems confronting the subregion are not only national issues but also transnational ones. The repercussions of the Sierra Leone conflict amply attest to this. It goes without saying that the effectiveness of this comprehensive and integrated strategy - which aims only to complement the national approach and to bring the United Nations closer to the realities on the ground - depends on the support that the Security Council will give it.”

“I thank the representative of Ukraine for his kind words addressed to me. I will now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Mali. In my introductory statement, I drew attention to the fact that today's debate coincides with the meeting of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in Dakar, and I emphasized the urgent need for measures to convert the operational conclusions of the inter-agency mission into concrete action. At this stage, I would like to raise four points, which in the view of my delegation deserve special attention in the framework of today's debate. First, a global, regional and integrated approach is urgently needed in the search for lasting solutions to the most pressing needs and problems of West Africa.”

“This would constitute a message of encouragement to the leaders of ECOWAS, meeting in Dakar, and a message of hope to the peoples of West Africa. The presidential statement that may be adopted as a result of this exercise and which would reflect the views expressed during this debate could contribute usefully to that end. I now give the floor to Mr. Ibrahima Fall, Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs.”

“This convergence gives our meeting today particular significance and scope. Today's public debate certainly attests to the Security Council's commitment to seek - through an exercise of collective reflection open to all, based on the operational conclusions of the report - lasting solutions to the priority needs and problems of West Africa. The report contains a clear-sighted and courageous assessment of the situation and practical, relevant and - in our opinion - feasible recommendations. Almost eight months after the issuance of that report, the time has come to take action. Today's debate, in this respect, provides a useful opportunity to respond positively to the recommendations of the Inter- Agency Mission, which are clearly based on the need for a comprehensive and integrated approach to West Africa.”

“Members of the Council have before them document S/2001/434, which contains a letter dated 30 April 2001 from the Secretary-General addressed to the President of the Security Council and conveying the report of the Inter-Agency Mission to West Africa. Before beginning the debate, I should like to make a few preliminary comments and to welcome all of those who are participating in this meeting. I wish first of all to recall that the Security Council is considering today for the second time the report of the Inter-Agency Mission to West Africa, known as the Fall report. This exercise coincides with the holding in Dakar of meetings of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), whose twenty-fifth Summit of Heads of State and Government will be held on 20 and 21 December.”

“My delegation reiterates its full support for the efforts of the Secretary-General and the United Nations Special Coordinator for the peace process in the Middle East with the parties and those in charge in the region. As for the Security Council, it must make its contribution to improving the present situation by taking the necessary measures to assist both parties to overcome this present tragedy and to resume negotiations in order to find a final agreement on all the problems on the basis of previous agreements and on the basis of resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973). My delegation feels that the majority of delegations have found this text to be objective, balanced and well measured. Unfortunately, the Council has not arrived at a consensus on this. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

“I will now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Mali. Mali will vote in favour of the draft resolution before us. This decision is based on our conviction that the Security Council has an essential role to play, given the serious situation in Palestine. This situation, characterized by unbridled violence, is ongoing and is worsening daily. Our Council can no longer remain silent; it must take appropriate measures to face this situation. In the View of my delegation, the draft resolution on which we will take a decision will be a major contribution. In addition, I would say that Mali is deeply committed to the pursuit of the peace process. In that perspective we feel that the United Nations must continue to shoulder its standing responsibility to ensure a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.”

“We believe this measure is an innovation that would widen the array of instruments at the disposal of the Security Council. However, my delegation shares the view expressed by many delegations on this issue, that the Panel of Experts should study the matter in greater depth to discern the possible impact of such a measure on the population and economy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Finally, we think it is essential to preserve the momentum of the Lusaka peace process, with full respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and of other States in the region, thus contributing to the definitive return of peace and stability to the Great Lakes region that we all hope for.

“I would like to recall Mali's position of principle in this regard, which condemns strongly all illegal exploitation of natural resources and other forms of wealth of an independent and sovereign State. Now that it is established that exploitation of the natural resources of the Democratic Republic of the Congo feeds the continuation of the conflict, the question arises: what is to be done? My delegation is of the View that an extension of the mandate of the Panel of Experts for six months is necessary so that the Security Council can be better and more widely informed about this issue and reflect more on what measures to take to put an end to this situation. My delegation also endorses the recommendation that a moratorium be imposed on the importation of certain resources, particularly coltan.”
