“Beyond the obligation to marginalize extremists, to follow through on commitments to rebuild communities destroyed by the March violence and to renew the dialogue of working groups with Belgrade, political leaders in Kosovo must find new ways to reconcile the ethnic communities. They should do far more to encourage minority returns and ensure a safe environment for members of minority groups who do go back to their homes in Kosovo. This is a problem of society-building for which neither UNMIK nor the international community is responsible, but the political elite of Kosovo alone. Political leaders must also demonstrate a greater willingness to compromise. Further progress in Kosovo will require some devolution of political power.”

“We want to see clearer statements and actions by leaders of the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government that will demonstrate to extremists that they have no place in Kosovo in future. Political leaders should encourage their constituents actively to assist police in investigating the March uprisings and to testify against the extremists who led the violence. Political parties and Government structures should do all they can to dismiss those who actively or passively supported the violence which did so much harm to the aspirations of all Kosovars. Political leaders in Kosovo must break new ground.”

“Holkeri mentioned, some 270 Kosovars have been arrested for possible involvement in the March violence, and some of those cases should soon be going to trial. Tenders are being prepared for reconstruction contracts to begin repairing the damage to houses. Ministers from the Kosovo Provisional Institutions of Self-Government have visited some Serb communities to personally assess the damage and to show their sympathy for the affected members of those communities. We hope that working groups will meet again soon to map out further progress in implementing the "Standards for Kosovo" document. All of these are worthy developments, but they fall short of what we had hoped for.”

“Like other colleagues, I should first of all like to thank Mr. Holkeri for his very comprehensive briefing on the latest developments in Kosovo. I think that both today's presentation and the Secretary-General's excellent recent report on Kosovo clearly show that Kosovo and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) require continuous attention and support. My delegation also welcomes the participation in our discussion of Foreign Minister Draskovic and would like to associate itself with the statement to be made shortly by Ambassador Ryan of Ireland on behalf of the European Union. We have seen some of the worst ethnic violence in Kosovo since 1999, but we have also seen some positive changes since the Council discussed Kosovo in April. As Mr.”

“The extraordinary achievements that have been made offer an occasion for pride for the Timorese people and for the international community. We call on the Governments of Timor-Leste and of Indonesia to take the opportunity to resolve the outstanding issues before the final termination of UNMISET. We highly support and recommend the assistance of UNMISET in this endeavour upon request from both parties. There is good reason to believe that further joint efforts will enable the Timorese people to achieve the objective of a truly self-sufficient State, which they have pursued with such determination. The international community should stay committed to achieving that goal.”

“National reconciliation is a key factor in successful nation-building. We therefore commend the work of UNMISET also with regard to the other two areas of its mandate: first, support for the public administration and justice system, and for justice in the area of serious crimes; and, secondly, support for the development of law enforcement. We support the recommendation of the Secretary- General to continue this Mission. The envisaged configuration of 5 8 civilian advisers could help Timor- Leste cross a critical threshold of self-sufficiency in terms of developing key skills and capabilities while helping to ensure that essential tasks are discharged. The international community's peacekeeping activities in Timor-Leste have provided a window of opportunity for progress.”

“The development of relations between Timor- Leste and Indonesia continues to benefit from the commitment to cooperation at the highest political level. However, as the report of the Secretary-General points out, some problems remain. We therefore call upon both parties to finalize the agreement on the border line, to conclude an arrangement for management of the border - including in the areas of cooperation and security and the regulation of economic activity - and to solve other outstanding issues, such as bringing to justice those responsible for serious crimes committed in 1999 and the return of refugees. Despite considerable efforts, 300 unresolved cases of Timorese children separated from their families in 1999 still demand attention. Progress in those areas will be crucial for the internal and external security of Timor-Leste.”

“Reports of the presence of armed groups are still a matter of concern. Unfortunately, we must acknowledge that the development of indigenous Timorese security capabilities remains at an early stage. We must also acknowledge the concern of the Timorese Government that an early withdrawal of the international security presence could lead to a deterioration of the situation. It is important that, during the consolidation phase, UNMISET retain some residual security-related elements to support Timor- Leste's ability to maintain its security and stability. We must make sure that the progress achieved so far will not be lost. Germany therefore supports the recommendation of the Secretary-General to extend the mandate of UNMISET, including its military component.”

“Germany commends the tremendous progress achieved by the people and the Government of Timor- Leste and by the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET). The Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Kamalesh Sharma, deserves our special tribute. We also welcome the excellent communication and goodwill that have characterized relations between Timor-Leste and Indonesia. Timor- Leste can rightly be described as a success story and as a true model for nation-building. Over the past five years, significant progress has been continuously achieved in all relevant areas. Whereas the security situation has generally been calm and peaceful, certain deficits remain. The Timorese police unit - the Policia Nacional de Timor-Leste - continues to suffer from a number of institutional weaknesses.”

“Let me first address the Russian delegation in condemning the terrorist bomb attack in Grozny and in expressing our sympathy and our condolences to the Government of the Russian Federation and to the victims and the bereaved families. My delegation is grateful for the comprehensive briefing by the Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Timor-Leste, Ambassador Kamalesh Sharma, and for the report of the Secretary-General of 29 April on the situation in Timor-Leste (S/2004/333). In that connection, I would like to welcome the presence of Senior Minister Ana Pessoa Pinto as she participates in this Council meeting. I would also like to say that Germany aligns itself with the statement to be made later in this discussion by the representative of Ireland on behalf of the European Union.”

“As for a second question, we believe that in the specific context of peacekeeping, cooperation and burden-sharing with regional arrangements and organizations make it easier for the United Nations to become active in many regions. That is, of course, true not only for the OSCE, but also, for example, for the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States. The regional organizations very often have in-depth knowledge of a conflict and of the specific problems of the area. We therefore support close cooperation between the OSCE and the United Nations and welcome every effort to increase the flow of information between the organizations, as we are witnessing today at this briefing. Therefore, we would be interested to hear from Mr.”

“I should like to thank Mr. Passy for his interesting and very comprehensive briefing. We feel that the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) plays an important role in the field of security and cooperation in Europe and in adjacent regions, not only as a forum for consultation, but also in a concrete manner where it runs field operations. As Mr. Passy pointed out, there are significant areas of fruitful cooperation between the United Nations and the OSCE, specifically in the areas of conflict prevention, crisis management and post- conflict rehabilitation. Perhaps Mr. Passy could give us more details and more clarification about where he sees options for enhanced cooperation between the OSCE and the United Nations in the area of conflict prevention and early warning.”

"The Security Council also requests the Secretary-General to present recommendations on possible new institutional arrangements respectful of the objective of building a democratic and multi-ethnic Kosovo to allow more effective local government through devolution of central non-reserved responsibilities to local authorities and communities in Kosovo, taking into account relevant studies and recommendations of interested parties and international organizations. How that local Government is organized is a matter for further discussion between interested parties in Kosovo.”

“The Council underscores that immediate actions should be taken aimed at the establishment of and public respect for the rule of law, including prosecution of perpetrators, effective collection of illegal weapons and combating organized crime. The Council urges the PISG to take concrete steps to fulfil their commitment to rebuild multi-ethnicity and reconciliation throughout Kosovo, as promised in the open letter of institutional and political leaders of 2 April 2004. The Council asserts further that, in addition, there must be rapid steps taken by the PISG to fulfil their commitment to rebuild or provide appropriate compensation for damaged or destroyed property, to rebuild holy sites and to facilitate the return of those displaced from their homes.”

“The Council calls on the PISG to take urgent steps on these two standards in order to rebuild and reach out to the Serb and other communities that suffered most in the large- scale inter-ethnic violence of 17-20 March 2004 that resulted in many dead and wounded and the destruction of personal property and Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries in Kosovo. "The Security Council, strongly condemning those events, emphasizes that no party can be allowed to profit or to advance a political agenda through violent measures. It calls on the PISG and all political leaders to take responsibility in the current situation and to ensure that such acts and threats of violence are not repeated.”

“"The Security Council reaffirms its full support for the 'Standards before Status' policy that was devised for Kosovo and endorsed by the Council in application of its resolution 1244 (1999). It recalls in this context the document 'Standards for Kosovo', presented on 10 December 2003 and subsequently supported by the Council in the statement of its President of 12 December 2003, which outlined the standards that are to be achieved in order to reach the goal of establishing in Kosovo a multi-ethnic, stable and democratic society.

The Council reiterates further that the progress by the PISG in meeting the standards, which should be reflected throughout Kosovo, will be assessed periodically and that the advancement towards a process to determine the future status of Kosovo in accordance with resolution 1244 (1999) will depend on the positive outcome of a comprehensive review.”

The obligations contained therein have to be fully complied with. We are committed to strengthening and universalizing the multilateral disarmament and non-proliferation treaties and agreements. After all, one of the most effective contributions to preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction remains the total elimination of those weapons both from arsenals and from military doctrines worldwide.

We welcome the fact that the Committee has been given a two-year mandate, and we hope that, after that time, the Committee and the resolution will have fulfilled their task. In any case, the end of that two-year period should be the occasion to subject the resolution and its implementation to a comprehensive review. As this resolution covers an important aspect of non-proliferation, it complements the existing system of international instruments of global disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation, including effective verification.”

If necessary, such measures must be subject to specific further decisions, to be adopted by the Security Council as a whole under paragraph 11 of the resolution and in conformity with the United Nations Charter.

“Despite those shortcomings, we support this resolution as it stands, and we will cooperate in its implementation because the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction by non-State actors is a major threat to international peace and security. That threat is real and imminent. All United Nations Member States must strengthen their respective domestic controls, including export controls and legislation. The Security Council is setting clear goals. The concrete rules to reach those goals will be established by Member States in accordance with their national procedures. During the Council's open debate on 22 April 2004, which was marked by wide, constructive participation, a great number of United Nations Member States expressed their understanding for the goals of this resolution and their support for its implementation.”

It is now mentioned in the preambular section. However, we would have preferred to see it highlighted in the operative section as well. A strong role has finally been allocated to a two-year follow-up mechanism, and we welcome that. However, we regret that no explicit language could be introduced on the importance of verification, security assurances and regional security arrangements and on the leading role the Security Council as a whole must play in the context of this resolution.”

“I will now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Germany. Germany voted in favour of this resolution because it contains important measures to enhance the effectiveness of non-proliferation efforts at a global level. It also testifies to the central role of the Security Council in the fight against proliferation, a threat that is global and that therefore also requires a global approach. Germany, along with its European Union partners, is committed to strengthening the Security Council in that role. The negotiation process was not easy. The original text drafted by the sponsors in six months of internal discussions has been improved after being presented to the other Council members and to a great number of other interested United Nations Member States. We welcome the progress made in the last four weeks.”
