  1. The mechanism thus deters those engaged in sanctions busting and at the same time serves as an early warning instrument against disproportional collateral damage. In this regard, sanctions - meaning measures to be taken against sanction-busting States or individuals- deserve more attention. Here, we see more room for further deliberations. On the other hand, the Security Council also has a responsibility under human rights aspects. Therefore, exemptions and exceptions for certain humanitarian needs should be carefully taken into consideration in order to minimize the humanitarian impact. In doing this, the credibility and legitimacy of a United Nations sanctions regime would be even greater.

  2. As State Secretary Dahlgren has pointed out, the Stockholm Process focused, inter alia, on identifying measures to enhance planning, monitoring and coordination among sanctions committees and monitoring bodies. The development of monitoring mechanisms, with a view to increasing transparency and efficiency, is indeed key to the success of any sanctions regime. The mechanism can furnish the sanctions committee with additional information about the violations of sanctions, as well as their direct and collateral impact. As former chairman of the UNITA sanctions Committee, Ambassador Ryan recently pointed out that its very existence sent a strong warning that the Committee had an additional arm that would systematically and constantly monitor sanctions violations and the violators.

  3. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Germany. The excellent briefing by State Secretary Dahlgren on the results of the Stockholm Process, the comprehensive statement by Assistant Secretary- General Turk and the ensuing interventions of Council members have, in our view, achieved two important goals. First, they have contributed to a more transparent discussion within the Security Council on pressing sanctions issues. Secondly, they have highlighted the important input by the Stockholm Process to the debate on how to strengthen the capacity of the United Nations system and of Member States to implement targeted sanctions.

  7. At the outset of the meeting, I should like, on behalf of the Security Council, to extend our heartfelt sympathy to the Government and the people of China in connection with the earthquake which occurred in the Xinjiang region, resulting in considerable destruction and loss of life.

The Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations. The Security Council will hear three briefings: first by Mr. Jean-Marie Guehenno, followed by Mr. Mutsuyoshi Nishimura and then by Mr. Harald Braun. After the three briefings, I shall open the floor to Council members who may wish to address questions to Mr. Nishimura and to the other two briefers, as Mr. Nishimura will not be joining us in the private meeting of the Council. I now give the floor to Mr. Guehenno.

  16. At the outset, I should like to explain how we shall conduct our consideration of the Afghanistan issue today. First, we shall hold this meeting, which will include a question-and-answer session. Because our Japanese colleague has come from Tokyo to provide us with information, I think the Council should have an opportunity to engage in dialogue with him and the other briefers after the briefing. Following that, the Council will hold a private meeting, because I understand that one of the briefers has a confidential document, which will be distributed and discussed then. If that is agreeable to the Council, we shall so proceed. Adoption of the agenda The agenda was adopted.

  19. Before giving the floor to the next speaker, I again appeal to speakers not to exceed the agreed time of seven minutes for a statement. The matter is one of fairness to the speakers who follow. If we stick to our timetable, everybody will have a chance to make a statement to the Council. The next speaker is the representative of Bahrain, on whom I now call.

  20. I thank Sir Jeremy Greenstock for his statement. I should like to request speakers not to address kind words to the presidency. Let us use our valuable time only on the subject. The next speaker on my list is the representative of Japan, to whom I give the floor.

  21. When a speaker is taking the floor, the Conference Officer will seat the next speaker on the list at the table. I think that that is a procedure that served us well yesterday, and we would like to continue this procedure, if the Council agrees. I thank representatives for their understanding and their cooperation. I shall first give the floor to the Chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Committee of the Security Council, Sir Jeremy Greenstock.

  22. In View of the long list of speakers before us, I would kindly request all speakers to limit their statements to no more than seven minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously. We have 27 speakers on the list. So, every minute that participants add to their seven minutes of speaking time adds half an hour to the deliberations of the Council. Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate their text in writing and to deliver the condensed versions in the Chamber. In another measure to optimize the use of our time in order to allow as many delegations to take the floor as possible, I will not individually invite speakers to take seats at the table or invite them to resume their seats at the side of the Chamber.

  28. So, if the Council agrees, I would propose that we finish now, and I would appeal to all speakers: please stick to the seven minutes as a matter of courtesy to those who come after you. My second remark is that I should like to inform the Council that I have received letters from the representatives of El Salvador and Zimbabwe in which they request to be invited to participate in the discussion.

  29. Before giving the floor to the next speaker, the representative of Honduras, I would like to discuss a few points of procedure. First of all, I still have 13 speakers on my list. Not all of them, I understand, are in the Council Chamber right now. We are faced now with the situation where either we could go on and hear the remaining speakers on the list - which might take until 1.30 p.m. if everybody sticks to seven minutes - or we might end up with three or four speakers not having had the opportunity to take the floor. We would then have to reconvene at 3 p.m. My suggestion is that we try to finish now. This is also a matter of courtesy for the last speakers, because if there are only three or four speakers left for the afternoon session, then most probably they will not get the same audience as they would have here now.

    2003-02-19 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.4709Resumption1 (2003) · source

  30. Let me repeat what I said yesterday. I would suggest that all speakers take their seven minutes fully to address the subject matter. I will say right now that I am grateful for all the kind words to me that they may have thought of, so perhaps we can refrain from addressing kind words to the presidency and save some time for the discussion of the subject matter. The next speaker inscribed on my list is the representative of Egypt, on whom I now call.

In accordance with the understanding reached in the Council's prior consultations, and in the absence of objection, I shall, at the appropriate time, invite the Permanent Observer of the Holy See to address the Council. There being no objection, it is so decided.

  35. I thank the representative of South Africa for his kind words addressed to me. I would like to remind members of the Council and speakers to kindly adhere to the seven minutes allotted. Every additional minute or two adds up to another hour of debate in the Council. In order to give speakers the full use of their seven minutes, I would propose that we consider that the Ambassador of South Africa spoke on everyone's behalf in addressing kind words to me. I would therefore suggest that all other speakers refrain from addressing kind words to me. Other kind words are fully welcome. I now give the floor to the representative of Iraq.

When a speaker is taking the floor, the Conference Officer will seat the next speaker on the list at the table.

I should also like to draw the attention of members to document S/2003/183, containing the text of a letter dated 14 February 2003 from the Permanent Representative of South Africa to the United Nations addressed to the President of the Security Council.

In view of the long list of speakers before us, I would appeal to all speakers to limit their statements to no more than five to seven minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously.

There being no objection, it is so decided. At the invitation of the President, Mr. Giraldo (Colombia) took a seat at the Council table. The President: The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.

  49. We are especially interested to learn of the current situation in Kisangani and other areas controlled by the RCD. My second suggestion pertains to the comprehensive report mentioned by the High Commissioner at the beginning of his briefing, I think it would be useful to make this report available to all members of the Security Council. Resuming now my function as President of the Council, I would be well prepared to distribute this report as a document of the Council. I now call on the representative of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

  50. Germany has also received disturbing reports on the recruitment of child soldiers, some as young as nine years of age. Is there any chance to identify, not only the perpetrators, but also the political and military leaders who provide political coverage for such repugnant violations of human rights? Also, in View of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000), Germany would like to know about efforts to strengthen the gender perspective in the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC), especially with a view to the DDR process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Finally, I have two suggestions. I believe access to clearer information on the human rights situation in the different rebel-controlled areas would be useful for the Council's future deliberations.
