  1. “and the United Nations Support Office for AMISOM, as well as the EU's support for the AU's efforts within that framework. Those efforts are complemented by bilateral support. Germany, for example, is currently supporting construction of the peace and security building for the AU Commission in Addis Ababa. We support the AU programme for border management in Africa within the framework of our joint efforts in conflict prevention. We also support the reinforcement of African peace and security structures, for example by training and equipping African police officers for the African Standby Force and for deployment in United Nations peacekeeping operations. Finally, I would like to express the support of my delegation for the draft resolution to be voted on today.”

  2. “Capacity- building in the AU must continue to be pushed forward. The lO-year capacity-building programme has so far proven to be a useful instrument, but clearly defined guidelines for implementing its aims could make it more efficient. Effective cooperation between the United Nations and the AU on peace and security issues can also profit from the efforts of others, such as the European Union (EU) and bilateral partners. The European Union offers considerable financial and logistical support for African initiatives and capacity-building for the African Union. Worthy of special mention in that context are the joint Africa-EU Partnership on Peace and Security and the African Peace Facility. Well- known examples are the joint efforts of Operation Atalanta, AMISOM.”

  3. “The AU, subregional African organizations and the United Nations Secretary-General's special representatives are already active in this field. In the future, they should work together more systematically, both formally and informally. Cooperation between the Peacebuilding Commission and African organizations should also be strengthened in order to support national and regional efforts to consolidate peace. At the operational level, we should constantly analyze the experience gained in the various partnerships between the United Nations and the AU in the area of peacekeeping, especially the current AMISOM. and UNAMID missions, and put that knowledge to use for further cooperation. Examples for such study are providing and training troops and the close integration of political mediation and the presence of peace missions on the ground.”

  4. “The African Union's position and that of subregional organizations are important for the United Nations Security Council when it deals with issues relating to Africa. That does not mean that the positions will always be the same and must always be so. In addition to the annual meetings of the members of the United Nations Security Council and the AU Peace and Security Council, Germany supports inviting representatives of the AU and subregional African organizations to the meetings of the United Nations Security Council on an ad hoc basis. At the same time, we welcome the participation of United Nations Special Envoys at meetings of the AU Peace and Security Council. More attention must be paid to conflict prevention and mediation in the future.”

  5. “In recent years, much has been accomplished in promoting cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union at both the strategic and operational levels. We especially welcome the regular meetings between the members of the United Nations Security Council and the Peace and Security Council of the African Union, as well as the work of the United Nations Office to the African Union in Addis Ababa, joint high-level meetings, more desk-to-desk meetings and also the recent joint assessment mission to the Sahel. More progress is possible. We must use both formal and informal means to intensify cooperation. Specifically, I would like to mention the following areas. At the strategic level, the dialogue between the United Nations Security Council and the Peace and Security Council of the AU should be strengthened.”

  6. “Their expanding involvement and achievements in past years have made the African Union and the subregional organizations into indispensable actors in resolving crises in Africa. I would especially like to call attention to the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) and the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). That involvement deserves our great respect. Another important contribution by the AU to solving humanitarian crises is its regional initiative in the fight against the Lord's Resistance Army. The pragmatic cooperation between the United Nations and the AU in resolving conflicts was recently illustrated when their representatives in charge of issues relating to the Lord's Resistance Army jointly travelled to South Sudan, the Central African Republic, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

  7. “I too would like to thank you, President Zuma, for convening this important debate today. Let me also thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union, Mr. Lamamra, as well as the Chairperson of the African Union Peace and Security Council, Mr. Metangula, for their important contributions. The cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations envisaged in Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations is indispensable for finding appropriate solutions to crises and conflicts and for making optimal use of resources and capacities. The partnership between the United Nations and the African Union (AU) is particularly well developed.”
