  1. “Secondly, Algeria pays homage to the personal efforts of President Mbeki to convene this meeting and to draw up the draft resolution that has been submitted to the Security Council. Such a commitment on his part is a tribute to his country, South Africa. It does honour to Africa. On behalf of President Bouteflika, we thank him very warmly.”

  2. “It would help to enhance the partnership between the African Union and the United Nations and to reassert the authority and credibility of the Security Council in its supervision of regional initiatives, which would then be undertaken with clear objectives, effectively and in the certainty that funds would be put to best use, to the satisfaction of the international community as a whole." Having read out President Bouteflika's message, I should like very briefly to add two comments on behalf of the delegation of Algeria. First, we support the statement made by the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, the current Chairman of the African Union, and endorse the proposal he made on behalf of Africa.”

  3. “"If we are to lay such uncertainties to rest once and for all, we should consider funding mechanisms that are more consistent and better coordinated. In that respect, the path laid out in January 2007 by the heads of State of the African Union - which consists of organizing missions that are led by the Union, agreed with the Security Council, and funded by assessed 08-30700 contributions of United Nations Member States in the context of Chapter VIII of the Charter - should be endorsed and implemented as soon as possible. Such an approach would allow us sustainably to overcome the significant funding constraints facing Africa.”

  4. “There is no doubt whatsoever that a successful synthesis of regional and subregional efforts with the activities of the international community will allow us to mobilize all the energy necessary to achieving goals that serve the cause of peace. "In that context, as soon as it is approved by the Security Council, a peacekeeping operation on the African continent should be treated in the same way as operations led by the United Nations, particularly in terms of the management and disbursement of funding, which should be adequate and regular. The time has come to institutionalize funding and to move beyond the ad hoc approach of some financing that makes it difficult to plan and manage such missions.”

  5. “In that respect, it would be extremely useful for us to adopt a more ambitious interpretation of Chapter VIII of the Charter, which is the legal basis for peacekeeping operations led by regional organizations. Such an interpretation could take account of local realities and favour responses adapted to specific contexts and characteristics, with a clear view of each party's respective responsibilities and complementarities. "It is indeed important that the as yet unexploited potential for synergy, interaction and coordination of cooperation between the Security Council and regional and subregional organizations be fully achieved.”

  6. “"The implementation of a peace and security architecture of the African Union - including a mechanism for the prevention, management and settlement of conflicts, the Peace and Security Council and a council of elders - reflects Africa's resolve to take 08-30700 responsibility for itself and to act in favour of political solutions that integrate the values of conciliation and reconciliation and ensure the sustainability of agreements reached. "I hope that this high-level Security Council debate will represent a decisive step towards strengthening cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, in particular the African Union. Such cooperation, based on the principles of the United Nations Charter, could give rise to innovative modes of operation.”

  7. “In January 2007, two of those countries benefited from the Peacebuilding Fund. Unfortunately, the allocated budgetary envelope has not been fully disbursed. "With respect to issues of peace and security, the situation in Africa has been characterized by emergences from crises and the perpetuation of conflicts that we had hoped to see resolved, first, by the mobilization of Africans themselves, and later by that of the international community. That is the case with the Western Sahara, where the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara has been deployed for more than 15 years. It is also the case with Somalia, where the African Union Mission has clearly been unable to provide the conditions necessary for resolving the security, policy and humanitarian aspects of the situation.”

  8. “He pointed out that it was vital to enhance that partnership in order to overcome the obstacles to peace and security on the continent. I welcome the high quality of cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union and the success that has been achieved in that area. "In the framework of that cooperation, a transfer of authority took place late last year from the African Union Mission in Sudan to the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur. That major development was based on a dynamic balance between imperative political considerations and unavoidable operational and logistical requirements. Elsewhere, the United Nations has supported such African countries as Burundi, Sierra Leone and Guinea-Bissau under the programme of work of the Peacebuilding Commission.”

  9. “In that respect, we note with pleasure the decrease in recent years of the number of conflicts and crisis situations on the continent, as well as the undeniable progress that has been made in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Burundi, Cote d'Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That trend should strengthen and grow thanks to Africa's collective commitment to peace, embodied in the actions of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union. It should 2 also be encouraged and robustly supported by the entire international community. "At the tenth summit of the African Union that took place in Addis Ababa in January, the Secretary-General stressed the importance of tightening cooperation links between the African Union and the United Nations.”

  10. “"I wish at the outset to thank the President of the Security Council for having taken the initiative to organize a high-level Security Council debate on strengthening partnership between the Security Council and regional organizations, particularly the African Union through its Peace and Security Council. It has indeed become urgent to improve the capacities and to strengthen the action of regional organizations, especially the African Union, in the critical area of maintaining peace and security. "For the African continent, seeking and maintaining peace and security represents a major challenge as significant as the issue of development.”

  11. “Mr. Ouyahia (Algeria) (spoke in French): Mr. Abdelaziz Bouteflika, President of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, has asked me to convey to the Security Council his deep regret at not being able to be here in person to attend this important meeting due to an especially busy national agenda. He has also asked me to convey to the Council his best wishes for the success of this meeting between the African Union and the United Nations. He has also given me the honour of reading out to the Council the following message on this occasion.”
