1. “Secondly, my delegation highly appreciates the progress made by the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH) with a view to building a modern, democratic, tolerant society in that country as mentioned by all the speakers following Mr. Klein's presentation. I want to commend the positive contribution made by the United Nations Mission to implement peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this respect, my delegation is pleased at the establishment of effective, democratic and lasting institutions. Likewise, we welcome the remarkable and resolute work of the International Police Task Force. Along the same lines, we are pleased at the presence of the Stabilization Force (SFOR). Thirdly, the considerable progress made deserves to be consolidated.”

2. “Mr. Ouane (Mali) (spoke in French): I also wish to warmly welcome Senator Biden to this Security Council meeting. I took note of and appreciate the fact that today, as in January, when the members of the Security Council visited the Senate, Senator Biden echoed the concerns that we all share. On the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I wish to make the following brief comments. First, my delegation highly appreciates the report of the Secretary-General of 30 November. I also wish to thank Mr. Jacques Paul Klein, Special Representative and Coordinator of United Nations Operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, for his complementary and very detailed statement.”

3. “We were pleased at the establishment of the United Nations Peace-building Support Office in Guinea-Bissau, and we hail the very active role played by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Guinea-Bissau. My delegation fully supports the draft presidential statement to be adopted at the end of this meeting because it fully reflects our concerns.”

4. “In that regard, the round table to be held at Geneva in February 2001 will be a test. I must also stress the adverse effect of conditionalities, of the debt burden and of unfulfilled pledges for assistance to the economic and social reconstruction of Guinea-Bissau, and hence to peace- building. Here, we call upon the donor community to make substantial contributions to the three-year programme scheduled to begin next year. My third comment relates to efforts by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and by the United Nations to build peace in Guinea-Bissau. Their activities in that regard have been most complementary, which has made it possible to achieve some good results; now, those results must be consolidated. For its part, ECOWAS will continue to play its full part in this enterprise.”

5. “My second comment proceeds from what I have just said, and concerns the need to support the reconstruction of Guinea-Bissau. In the view of my delegation, two measures could prove useful here. The first would be to adopt an integrated joint approach involving the United Nations system and the international financial institutions, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Earlier, Mr. Madavo made encouraging commitments along those lines. Such synergy is essential as we pursue the process of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and the proper unfolding of the peace process in Guinea-Bissau. In the same vein, more closely concerted action by bilateral and multilateral partners would also help consolidate peace in Guinea- Bissau.”

6. “The determination of the people to bring about change, as reflected in President Kumba Yala's decisive victory, is powerful, which defines the short-term and medium-term post-election policies of the new Guinea-Bissau authorities. It is key, first and foremost, to strengthen the spirit of national reconciliation, consolidate the rule of law, ensure the sound management of public affairs, restructure the economy, restructure the armed forces, implement a programme of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and combat the illicit circulation of light weapons. Furthermore, on the international level, Guinea- Bissau must continue to improve relations with neighbouring States and to revive cooperation with the international community at large.”

7. “Both the Vice-Prime Minister of Guinea-Bissau and Mr. Madavo admirably described the highly precarious situation, to which I shall refer solely to express my delegation's satisfaction at the political strides made and to censure the former military junta for its irresponsible actions taken, inter alia, through the events of last week. Mali is delighted also at the improvement in Guinea-Bissau's relations with Senegal and with Guinea. Let me focus now on problems with regard to post-conflict peace-building in Guinea-Bissau. Here, Ihave three comments to make. The first bears on the domestic and external context for Guinea-Bissau. In the domestic sphere, it is clear that a legitimate, democratic regime is in place, but is unable to implement its policies.”

8. “Mr. Ouane (Mali) (spoke in French): I wish at the outset to welcome to this important meeting the Secretary-General, Mr. Kofi Annan, and to thank him for his opening remarks, which were, as usual, most lucid. I wish also to welcome the high-level delegation of Guinea-Bissau led by the Vice-Prime Minister, His Excellency Mr. Faustino Imbali, as well as Mr. Callisto Madavo, Vice-President of the World Bank, Africa Region. I must not fail also to thank the delegation of the Netherlands which, throughout its presidency, and building on the report (S/2000/809) of the Panel on United Nations Peace Operations chaired by Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, has involved the Council in a most useful consideration of how to deal with crisis situations. Today's meeting, on the situation in Guinea- Bissau, is consistent with that approach.”

9. “We would urge the parties to show greater restraint in order to restore calm and promote the resumption of dialogue. And secondly, Mali fully supports the efforts of the Secretary-General, particularly the four priority objectives that he defined at the Security Council meeting on 17 November. Also, the agreements of Sharm el-Sheikh offered some promise for the peace process, which is why we would urge the parties to implement those accords strictly. Mali welcomes the talks in Washington and all efforts to achieve peace. My third comment relates to the dispatching of observers to the field. This is a positive measure that could usefully contribute to the cessation of violence. The Council should attribute to it the highest priority. This is a requirement of the international community and the Organization's credibility is at stake.”

10. “Mr. Ouane (Mali) (spoke in French): Mali associates itself fully with the statement which will shortly be made by South Africa on behalf of the Movement of the Non-Aligned. I should also like, in my capacity as Coordinator of the Non-Aligned Caucus in the Security Council for November to associate the other members of the Caucus with that statement. Nevertheless I wish here, in my national capacity, to make a few brief comments. First, to recall the constant position of Mali in favour of a just and lasting settlement of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. In that respect, we firmly condemn the violence of the last week which led to numerous casualties in the civilian population, in particular, the Palestinian population. We deplore the escalation of this violence and its growing socio-economic repercussions.”

11. “My delegation remains concerned about the presence of landmines and other explosive devices. This situation is still an obstacle to humanitarian activities, reconstruction and, in particular, the deployment of UNMEE. We call upon the international community to give technical and financial assistance to the two countries, which in turn should cooperate so that demining activities can be carried out. In conclusion, Mali calls upon the two parties to continue to show their commitment to peace, development and prosperity, for the sake not only of the two peoples concerned, but for the region and Africa as a whole. My delegation is at your disposal, Mr. President, for the finalization of the presidential statement.”

12. “However, in order to restore peace, the OAU needs assistance and support if it is to play its proper role in preventive diplomacy and the rebuilding and consolidation of peace. The peoples of Ethiopia and Eritrea were sorely tried by the conflict between the two countries. The drought has exacerbated the situation. My delegation is particularly troubled by the large number of internally displaced persons and refugees in the region. It will be important for UNMEE to establish and maintain close cooperation with the humanitarian workers in the region. We welcome the clear progress made with the signing of the tripartite agreement. However, we urge the international community to provide generous financial aid, bilaterally or through the United Nations teams in the two countries, in order to provide relief to the population.”

13. “In this respect, my delegation endorses the appeal of the Secretary- General to Ethiopia and Eritrea to continue to demonstrate the political will that they showed in signing the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities. We believe that such political will will be judged by the progress made in the proximity talks. We also invite the parties to continue their efforts to achieve a negotiated and lasting peace. We believe that the demarcation and delimitation of the border as soon as possible will be an important step in that direction. As we said after the signing of the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities, and as we repeated after the deployment of UNMEE, the United Nations and the OAU must continue to cooperate closely at every level.”

14. “We welcome the appointment of the Force Commander, Major General Patrick Cammaert - an appointment that does honour to your country, Mr. President. We also welcome the positive role being played by the Special Representative of the Secretary- General, Ambassador Legwaila, who is working with the leaders of the two parties and with the OAU. We hope that these contacts will help to dispel the distrust that exists between the former belligerents and bring them to the negotiating table. UNMEE, the most recent mission to our continent but one of a new generation of missions, remains a decisive element for guaranteeing a permanent ceasefire and creating the conditions necessary for a lasting settlement. Its deployment cannot be a pretext for political and diplomatic paralysis.”

15. “Kofi Annan, deserves tribute and congratulations for his steadfast support for and dedication to the peaceful settlement of conflicts in Africa, in particular that between Ethiopia and Eritrea, and we thank him for his very instructive statement today. The signing of the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities between the Government of Ethiopia and the Government of Eritrea represents a very important achievement and a decisive step towards the peaceful resolution of a tragic conflict that should never have taken place between the two countries. That Agreement, signed on 18 June 2000 and reached through the intensive efforts of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and President Bouteflika, made it possible for the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) to be deployed rapidly and expanded.”

I also thank you for your lucid analysis of the situation, following your recent visit to the region. I should also like, through you, to thank Ambassador Peter van Walsum, for the outstanding way in which he has been presiding over our Council this month. We also wish to thank the entire team of the Netherlands in the Security Council. The Secretary-General, Mr.”

17. “Vigorous measures must be taken against those who deliberately attack humanitarian personnel. It is also important that those who commit acts of aggression against humanitarian personnel and violate international humanitarian law be brought to justice. The International Criminal Court must carry out its task of ensuring that States, non-state actors and individuals be made to bear responsibility for their acts. My country has signed and ratified the Court's Statute and we urge other States to do likewise. In conclusion, I should like to convey my best wishes to Mr. Ruud Lubbers, Mrs. Ogata's successor. We offer him our congratulations and full support as he carries out his assigned duties.”

18. “Ogata that we must stress the need to ensure coordination and consistency between humanitarian activities and the more general activities of the United Nations to ensure peace and development. Indeed, humanitarian assistance must always be integrated into broader international efforts to find political solutions and peaceful resolutions to conflicts. Thirdly, as Mrs. Ogata stated, we must, in accordance with the Secretary-General's recommendations, consider how to ensure respect for and strengthen the legal bases and principles of humanitarian action. In this regard, we believe that we must address problems that threaten the safety of humanitarian personnel, in particular by implementing measures based on international humanitarian law that could also include education in democracy and human rights.”

19. “The topicality of her recommendations has given us food for thought about humanitarian action and related problems, in particular about the resources available to us to halt the deterioration of the situation of populations in crisis. In this regard, I should like to make a few comments. First, we feel that Mrs. Ogata was quite right, in the light of recent conflicts and their tragic humanitarian consequences - and I do not refer here solely to conflicts in Africa - to underscore the relationship between humanitarian assistance and the maintenance of peace and security. We concur with the Brahimi report that emergency situations must be dealt with expeditiously, appropriately and in a coordinated manner. Secondly, we agree with Mrs.”

20. “Mr. Ouane (Mali) (spoke in French): I should like to associate myself with the unanimous tribute that has been paid to Mrs. Ogata, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, who has devoted herself profoundly to the cause of refugees, in particular in Africa, over the past 10 years. I take this opportunity to reiterate the gratitude of the Government of Mali to her for efforts to assist and ease the return and reintegration of refugees in northern Mali. I should also like to thank Mrs. Ogata for her important statement containing useful recommendations, based on her 10 years' experience and which merit the Council's full attention.”

21. “Fourthly, following the shocking images shown by the media over the last few days, we believe it is urgently necessary that the provisions of the 1949 Geneva Protocols be respected. Fifthly and lastly, for Mali the renewal of the peace process is the only way to reach a settlement of this continuing problem. In this context, the visit to Paris on 4 October by President Arafat and Prime Minister Ehud Barak offers a useful opportunity to help end the violence and renew the parties' commitment to resuming the peace process.”

22. “Mr. Ouane (Mali) (spoke in French): Mali is happy to see the Security Council meet under your leadership during the month of October, Mr. President. I wish to thank you for the kind words that you and other members of the Council have addressed to me in connection with Mali's term as President of the Council. My delegation is grateful to you for having organized this open debate. As was expressed publicly by the Government of Mali on 1 October, I wish to reaffirm our sympathy for the families of the victims. Secondly, true to its principles, Mali strongly condemns all acts of violence and aggression, including the bloodshed of the last five days. Thirdly, Mali strongly supports the creation of an international fact-finding commission to establish responsibility for the events of the last few days.”

On behalf of the Council, I thank him for the great contribution he made to the work of the Secretariat and for the dedication with which he served to further the objectives of the United Nations. I wish him every success in his future endeavours. There are no further speakers inscribed on my list.

I am very grateful to all members for their understanding and cooperation. The second half of the month has been very difficult. Members' support and cooperation continued, and I am very grateful. Additionally, our task was made much easier by the Secretariat, which gave us instructive presentations and good advice. I would particularly like to thank Mr. Stephanides and his team for their help and their reliability at all times. Finally, and most importantly, I would like to thank the interpreters and the translators, who worked very skilfully for long hours alongside the members of the Council. Now I would like to pay tribute to Mr. Bernard Miyet on behalf of the members of the Council.”

Before adjourning, I would like to discharge a duty of conscience and also to pay tribute, on behalf of the Council, to Mr. Bernard Miyet, Under-Secretary- General for Peacekeeping Operations. First of all, the duty of conscience: this is the last public meeting for the Security Council in the month of September, under the presidency of Mali. Before taking up the presidency on behalf of Mali, I did not think that the task of presiding over the Council would be cumbersome in the first half of the month in view of the general debate that was being held at the time in the General Assembly. However, recent developments in various situations throughout the world compelled us to break with tradition.”

From this point of view we believe it essential that the Indonesian Government cooperate with UNTAET and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees both in the camps and on the routes of return. As concerns the transition process, we must call attention to the need to involve the Timorese as soon as possible.”

They are an important contribution to building a multi-ethnic society. So that the people of Kosovo can invest themselves in this process, it seems important, in fact necessary, to ensure that all ethnic groups participate in the process.
