“Other promising projects involve cotton and soy. We are also convinced that agriculture can play a pivotal role in the future of South Sudan. As we are all aware, the country has immense potential in terms of land, climate, water and human resources. In our bilateral meetings, the authorities of South Sudan have indicated that agriculture will be a priority. Given the potential of both countries, efforts towards promoting rural development in the Sudan and South Sudan can benefit the whole north-east of Africa, where food security remains a challenge, thereby generating a series of positive economic and social spin-offs. The independence of South Sudan is an event that evokes many of the traits of the African spirit, which we have come to respect and admire: endurance, courage and wisdom.”

“We support calls for debt relief. We also urge all development partners to step up bilateral and multilateral support. In the context of the India, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) group, these three countries are negotiating three cooperation projects that we believe will benefit the people of South Sudan. Our countries also intend to work with the Sudan in the framework of the IBSA fund. As part of Brazil's renewed engagement with the African continent, our relations with the Republic of the Sudan have intensified in the past few years. Bilateral cooperation projects and private partnerships, which aim at developing the country's potential in the area of agriculture, are showing impressive results. In 2009, the Sudan became the first country in its region to produce and export ethanol with Brazilian technology.”

“We are glad to note that the Economic and Social Council and the Peacebuilding Commission have started to consider how best to assist the Sudanese people. We are also pleased that resolution 1996 (2011), which established the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan, envisages the kind of coherent and integrated support to post-conflict countries called for in the presidential statement to which I just referred, during whose adoption I had the honour to preside over the Council. I must also refer to the appointment of Ms. Hilde Johnson as Special Representative of the Secretary- General, who I believe is particularly well-positioned, given her wide-ranging experience, to provide expertise and leadership. Brazil encourages those who have not yet done so to take steps to normalize economic relations with the Sudanese.”

“Brazil believes that the vision of a democratically transformed Sudan can continue to inspire both countries. The leaders of South Sudan, who have endured a long struggle for autonomy, will certainly see the importance of ensuring that this achievement is translated into improved political participation and improved conditions for all South Sudanese. As the Security Council stated on 11 February (see S/PRST/2011/4), security and development are closely interlinked and mutually reinforcing for the attainment of durable peace. As both the Sudan and South Sudan continue to face the challenges of nation- building, the international community should increase its support to both Juba and Khartoum.”

“Many other international actors, including non-governmental organizations, deserve credit for their contribution to the implementation of the CPA, in particular the referendum and the transition to an independent South Sudan. As we celebrate South Sudan's independence, we must not forget the many challenges that still lie ahead. Brazil strongly encourages the leaders to settle their remaining differences through peaceful means and to put their long-term interests ahead of other considerations. We encourage the parties to redouble their efforts to reach agreements on all outstanding issues, particularly on the final status of Abyei, on settling the North-South border, on wealth-sharing arrangements and on the immediate and unconditional cessation of hostilities in Southern Kordofan.”

“They remind the Council that it can effectively fulfil its responsibilities under the Charter through negotiated diplomatic solutions. We must also recognize the leadership role played in the early negotiations by the African Union and the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development. The African Union has given proof of its ability to engage actors in a complex, lengthy process, one that tested the resilience of its institutions. We believe that the African Union is an example of political coordination and integration that offers important lessons to other areas of the world. In South America, attention is certainly being paid to the African example by members of the Union of South American Nations, including my own country, Brazil.”

“Brazil presided over this Council in March 2005, when the United Nations Mission in the Sudan was established (see S/PV.5151) to assist the parties in implementing the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). More recently, also under the Brazilian presidency, the Council held a meeting to welcome the peaceful conduct of the referendum, in which the South Sudanese people chose to establish an independent State (see S/PV.6468). Today, we meet to celebrate the implementation of that decision. Tribute must be paid, first and foremost, to the two parties to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. The authorities and the peoples of the Republic of South Sudan and of the Republic of the Sudan demonstrated political courage in working towards this moment. They proved wrong those who thought they could not work together for common goals.”

“Our representative was honoured to have participated in an historic event that reflected the self-confidence of the South Sudanese people as they celebrated the hard- earned opportunity to build a brighter future. It is an honour for me to address the Security Council on an occasion in which the United Nations, including the Council, played a significant role. That accomplishment builds on a track record of involvement in the region, comprising the Sudan and South Sudan, of often creative and courageous undertakings. I particularly recall Operation Lifeline Sudan, which brought relief to many thousands of civilians in need. As Brazil understands, that operation is a lasting example of the concept of responsibility to protect put to use with a broader perspective that does not necessarily involve military means.”

“In expressing support for South Sudan's application for United Nations membership, Brazil renews its historical and cultural bonds with Africa, as well as its commitment to the continent's economic, social and political development. We look forward to the promotion of solid relations with the South Sudanese authorities and people, which we believe will yield benefits for both our nations. Brazil is ready to cooperate with South Sudan in areas that may contribute to its sustainable development. An important step was taken with the visit of the official representative of President Dilma Rousseff, the Under-Secretary in charge of African Affairs, to the Independence Day ceremonies that took place in Juba on 9 July and the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries that very day.”

The Council expresses its willingness to engage in dialogue, where necessary, on specific situations on its agenda with other actors, including United Nations agencies, funds and programmes and international financial institutions.

"The Security Council underlines that integrated action on the ground by security and development actors needs to be coordinated with the national authorities and can significantly contribute to stabilizing and improving the security situation and ensuring the protection of civilians.

“In this regard, it recognizes that the United Nations can play a role in helping the States concerned, as appropriate, upon their request and with full respect for their sovereignty over natural resources and under national ownership, to prevent illegal access to those resources and to lay the basis for their legal exploitation with a View to promoting development, in particular through the empowerment of Governments in post-conflict situations to better manage their resources.”

In this regard, it reaffirms that the overarching objective of peacekeeping missions should be to achieve success through creating the conditions for security and sustainable peace on the ground, thereby allowing for reconfiguration or withdrawal of the mission.

"The Security Council notes that in matters relating to the maintenance of international peace and security under its consideration, conflict analysis and contextual information on, inter alia, social and economic issues is important, when such issues are drivers of conflict, represent a challenge to the implementation of Council mandates or endanger the process of consolidation of peace.”

“In this context, the Council notes with appreciation the contribution that peacekeepers and peacekeeping missions make to early peacebuilding, including through creating a conducive environment which enables economic recovery and the provision of basic services. The Council acknowledges that this contribution can help to establish and build confidence in the mission. "The Security Council undertakes to consider how peacekeeping operations can best support national authorities, as appropriate, to articulate peacebuilding priorities, and acting in accordance with these priorities, can both support other national and international actors to implement peacebuilding activities and undertake certain early peacebuilding tasks themselves.”

“The Council recommends that particular focus be given to improved integration of United Nations effort where peacekeeping missions are operating together with peacebuilding activities of other United Nations actors, such as in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Sudan. "The Security Council notes that successful implementation of the many tasks that peacekeeping operations could be mandated to undertake in the areas of security sector reform; disarmament, demobilization and reintegration; rule of law and human rights requires an understanding of and acting with a perspective 28 which takes into account the close interlinkage between security and development.”

"The Security Council reemphasizes the importance of considering and initiating peacebuilding activities from the earliest stages of planning and implementation of peacekeeping operations, including through clear and achievable mandates. The Council stresses the importance of clarity of roles and responsibilities of the United Nations peacekeeping operation and the United Nations country team and other relevant actors for the delivery of prioritized support to a country consistent with its specific peacebuilding needs and priorities, as outlined by national authorities, in order to ensure effective integration of effort.”

“The Council recognizes that their relationship is complex, multifaceted and case-specific. "The Security Council reiterates that, in order to support a country to emerge sustainably from conflict, there is a need for a comprehensive and integrated approach that incorporates and strengthens coherence between political, security, development, human rights and rule of law activities and addresses the underlying causes of each conflict. In this regard, the Council affirms the necessity to consider relevant economic, political and social dimensions of conflict. "The Security Council affirms that national ownership and national responsibility are key to establishing sustainable peace.”

“I hope today's debate will enhance the ability of the United Nations, and this Council in particular, to help post-conflict societies move from a vicious circle of violence and instability into a virtuous circle of peace, security and development. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I have been authorized to make the following statement on behalf of the Council: "The Security Council reaffirms its primary responsibility under the Charter of the United Nations for the maintenance of international peace and security and its readiness to strive for sustainable peace in all situations under its consideration. "The Security Council underlines that security and development are closely interlinked and mutually reinforcing and are key to attaining sustainable peace.”

“With these considerations in mind, increased cooperation by this Council with the Economic and Social Council is clearly needed, as is greater interaction between this body and the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC). The PBC came into being to fill an institutional gap in the United Nations. It was born out of the many bitter lessons the United Nations learned from countries lapsing and relapsing into conflict and instability. Its mission is to act as a catalyst or coordinator, within and beyond the United Nations system, for support and dedicated efforts in consolidating peace and promoting development in countries emerging from conflict, apart from its mandate as a source of advice when there is a risk of conflict.”

“Peacebuilding activities such as support to youth employment and the provision of basic services play an essential role in increasing support for peacekeeping missions, and therefore they have a bearing on the missions' political sustainability on the ground. Unfortunately, we are all aware of the worrying levels of frustration sometimes associated with the presence of the United Nations in certain parts of the world. We believe this situation could improve if the Council were also to focus on the positive impacts of a well executed, integrated strategy on the part of the agencies, funds, programmes and international financial institutions.”

“I am particularly gratified that we are in the Council with India and South Africa, which through IBSA (India, Brazil and South Africa) have been making a very important contribution - as our friend from South Africa mentioned earlier - to Haiti, the occupied Palestinian territories and several other places. The same perception has guided us in leading, for the past three years, the Peacebuilding Commission's configuration for Guinea-Bissau, a sister lusophone country, where the linkage between security and development is very plain to see. Sustainable peace implies a comprehensive approach to security. Without economic opportunity, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration in and of themselves rarely lead to the desired results.”

“Today's debate will, in our view, achieve its objective if it contributes to raising awareness of the importance of associating development with the security strategies we conceive for sustainable peace. This is particularly relevant when dealing with situations in Africa and the Middle East and the one situation in the Americas that is part of our agenda, namely, that of Haiti. From the early stages of the development of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, Brazil, with the invaluable support our Latin American partners and others, has argued for mandates that incorporate reconstruction and peacebuilding activities in parallel with peacekeeping actions.”

“We are convinced that purely military or security strategies will not, by themselves, be able to adequately deal with the overwhelming majority of today's situations of conflict. The Security Council has indeed already recognized this by incorporating reconstruction tasks into peacekeeping mandates. As early as 2001, the Council noted the need to enhance peacebuilding activities by formulating a strategy based on the interdependence among sustainable peace, security and development in all its dimensions. But the main point I would like to make in our debate today is that we can do more and we should be able to do better. We are not proposing to reconfigure the responsibilities of different United Nations organs or agencies, or to transform this Council into a development programme.”

“In some cases, their plight was made worse through the proxy wars of the bipolar period. I am not implying that the most serious threats to peace are to be found today in comparatively poorer and less developed places. That would be a serious misreading of both the current international scenario and historic trends. Many of the situations we are called upon to deal with in the Security Council - from East Timor to Haiti, from Liberia to the Democratic Republic of the Congo - involve societies that do not, in and of themselves, represent a global threat to peace and security. Yet these are countries that have, to varying degrees, suffered conflict and instability in the context of pre-existing situations of poverty, unemployment and fragile institutions, among other conditions, and that deserve our differentiated attention.”

“In the aftermath of the decolonization process, demands for improved terms of trade and increased development assistance would motivate, in the 1970s, the adoption of a General Assembly resolution calling for a new international economic order (resolution S-VI/320l). The right to development was recognized in a General Assembly declaration in 1986 (resolution 41/128, annex), and in 2000, the General Assembly established the Millennium Development Goals, thereby calling attention to the centrality of combating poverty to our overall agenda. Over the past two decades, challenges to peace and security brought before this Council have followed new patterns. Once the East-West rivalry was superseded, many situations placed before the Council involved parts of the developing world recently emerged from colonialism in vulnerable conditions.”

“Even though the term "development" was not in use then, the Charter of the United Nations already incorporated the idea of interdependence between peace, security and development. Article 55, on international economic and social cooperation, states that: "With a view to the creation of conditions of stability and well-being which are necessary for peaceful and friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, the United Nations shall promote: a) higher standards of living, full employment, and conditions of economic and social progress and development". In subsequent years, the concept of development was further refined through the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean - ECLAC - and the first United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, UNCTAD.”

“As we are all keenly aware, the United Nations was created to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war by avoiding a repetition of the mistakes made after World War I. An important aspect of that approach involved parallel initiatives aimed at creating improved economic and social conditions for the recovery of the countries that had been most severely ravaged by World War II, whether they had been the victors or not. Instrumental in the success of that effort was the Marshall Plan, which embodied the notion that a more stable and peaceful international order required not only a credible system of collective security, but also what we might call a recovery or development agenda.”

“The Sudan is a vast and bountiful country, but its ancient peoples face serious historical imbalances with roots in its colonial past and in centuries of economic and social exclusion.

“Military operations are not legitimate tools for increasing bargaining power at the negotiating table, however. All groups should join the Doha peace process, as there is no military solution to the conflict. Of particular concern is the persisting arms flow to Darfur. All Member States should refrain from selling or in any way facilitating the provision of weapons that could be used in the conflict. Other measures are necessary, including securing humanitarian access to those in need and refraining from hindering the mobility of the African Union- United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur. The parties are, of course, expected to cooperate with and respect the presence of the United Nations on the ground.”

“In March this year, a mission of the Brazilian Agency for Cooperation visited Khartoum and identified possible areas for future work. We are also currently engaged in a dialogue with the Sudan on ways to provide electoral assistance. The North-South civil war was, in part, a result of long-standing power and wealth imbalances in the Sudan. Such imbalances also contributed to the conflict in Darfur. In this context, the Government of the Sudan's New Strategy for Darfur is a positive step, as it seeks to deal with the root causes of the conflict and involve local communities in the peace process. Efforts currently undertaken in the context of the Doha peace process to address those issues deserve our continued support. In Darfur, there are also urgent short-term measures that need to be taken by all parties.”

“When the time comes, the Security Council may wish to consider the role that the Peacebuilding Commission can play in this regard. In order to achieve durable peace, the efforts of the international community and the Sudanese people should also aim at overcoming poverty, fostering social and economic development, and respecting human rights. The referendums, if conducted in a transparent manner, as is our expectation, should pave the way for the normalization of economic relations between members of the international community and the Sudanese. Brazil wishes to contribute to the economic and institutional development of the Sudan, which will lead to improvements in the living standards of all Sudanese. Our bilateral trade has grown significantly over the past few years. In agriculture and biofuels, new partnerships are being forged.”

“In this context, I welcome the conclusion of negotiations on a framework for resolving outstanding issues relating to the implementation of the CPA and the agreement between the parties to resume high-level negotiations on 22 November, under the auspices of the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel. Regardless of the results of the referendums, the mediation support and peacebuilding efforts of the United Nations will have to be undertaken in cooperation with the Sudanese authorities. Possible tasks in this regard will include the monitoring of wealth-sharing arrangements, institutional development and development assistance. A comprehensive peacebuilding strategy should, in due course, be discussed with the Sudanese.”

“We support a strong message from the Council to the CPA parties to the effect that all Sudanese, including southerners in the North and northerners in the South, have their rights respected and their safety guaranteed, regardless of the outcome of the referendums. To this end, the United Nations Mission in the Sudan has to be provided with adequate means to effectively contribute to maintaining security in its area of operation, in particular in Abyei. We are confident that the Sudanese leadership will rise to the challenge of overcoming mistrust and reach the compromises that will promote reconciliation and further strengthen social and economic ties among themselves and with their immediate neighbours. It is in the interest of all to nurture such ties.”

“As the final phase of the CPA approaches, it is indeed desirable that the Security Council keep the situation in the Sudan high on its agenda. Our primary concern is peace and stability, while taking special care to ensure that a complex situation is not made worse. Our primary common goal should be to see to it that the referendums are conducted in a cooperative atmosphere and in a timely, free and fair manner. Of central importance in building a prosperous, democratic and peaceful future for the Sudanese people is the implementation of the outcome of the referendums. In this regard, we welcome the beginning of voter registration yesterday for the Southern Sudan referendum.”

Our appreciation also goes to Special Representative of the Secretary-General Haile Menkerios, Joint Special Representative for Darfur Ibrahim Gambari, and Joint Chief Mediator Djibrill Bassole. The Sudan represents today one of the major challenges posed to the Security Council. Peace in the Sudan is essential to the future of the African continent. While it should be careful not to interfere in delicate matters upon which only the Sudanese people can decide, the international community has important obligations to fulfil in its support for the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).”

“We would also like to express our warm thanks for the skill and the dedication of Ambassador Juan Gabriel Valdes to our region. It is a source of special satisfaction to have a representative of Chilean diplomacy at the head of the international community's efforts in Haiti. Like you, Mr. President, we believe that, given the great political and financial commitment of Latin American countries to stabilization in Haiti, it would advisable that his replacement should also come from a country in the region. (spoke in French) Allow me, through you, Mr. President, to convey to the Haitian delegation and to President-elect Rene Preval our warmest congratulations and firmest support. As President Lula has said, Brazilian troops will remain in Haiti as long as it is necessary.”

“Brazil believes that we now have a good opportunity for the establishment of an action plan to support the first 100 days of the Preval Government, a plan that is capable of creating a significant number of jobs with the comprehensive use of the potential of the engineering companies. I would like to highlight the role played by the core group in coordinating the efforts of the international community in Haiti and the importance of the Economic and Social Council Ad Hoc Advisory Group. We must also pay tribute to President Boniface Alexandre for his tireless efforts in the current transitional period. Likewise, we thank Prime Minister Gerard Latortue for having guided the transition, which made it possible for us to be here today to welcome a new phase in the Haitian process and to reaffirm our confidence in the future of the country.”

“It is also important to include Haiti in the agenda of the recently created Peacebuilding Commission, as was underlined today by Chile and other countries. With a view to preparing for future challenges, the members of the Contact Group in the World Bank decided that the time had come to organize a new donor conference which will take place before September 2006 to extend the Interim Cooperation Framework until the end of 2007. Brazil will have the honour of welcoming in Brasilia a ministerial meeting among donor countries and the new Haitian Government in May this year. We are also working through diplomatic channels to support forgiveness of Haitian debt through the International Monetary Fund.”
