  1. “The IAEA Director-General's November report stated that the agency had received no cooperation from Iran in the previous two months and that Iran's uranium enrichment programme continued. Iran's continued failure to cooperate with the IAEA, or to 08-63944 answer its questions, only increases our concerns about Iran's nuclear programme and its intentions. It is vital that Iran urgently and comprehensively provide the IAEA with all the requested information, documentation and access. We share the IAEA's continued concern about outstanding issues relating to the possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear programmes.”

  2. “First of all, I would like to thank Ambassador Grauls for this year's final report to the Council and, on behalf of my delegation, join others in paying tribute to his outstanding chairmanship of the 1737 Committee. The United Kingdom remains committed to the E3 + 3 Governments dual-track policy. The generous offer made by this group in June 2008 still stands. It is deeply disappointing that we have not had a clear response to date from Iran. The United Kingdom stands ready to build a positive relationship with Iran across a range of issues, but we must first see serious action by Iran to work with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and to comply with its Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons responsibilities.”

  3. “Those issues surrounding the human rights situation in Guinea-Bissau have implications both for the political process and for the fight against drug trafficking, and we hope that the Government and United Nations Peacebuilding Support Office in Guinea-Bissau will be able to act to tackle those concerns.”

  4. “It is clear that there needs to be some further discussion on the Secretary- General's suggestion of a role for a panel of experts to look at these issues, and we would be happy to take part in those discussions. However, like others, we think that the primary responsibility for action, certainly in the short term, is at the national level, and we look forward to efforts to enhance the cooperation among law-enforcement agencies in Guinea-Bissau and to strengthen their capacities. Secondly, action at the subregional level would be very important too, and we look forward to the outcome of the upcoming Economic Community of West African States meeting. Thirdly, we remain concerned about the case of Alberto Dabo and continuing reports of intimidation of journalists, magistrates and human rights activists.”

  5. “First of all, we greatly welcome the progress made in preparing for the elections to be held on 16 November, including the successful voter registration exercise. Clearly, it is critical that those elections go ahead on time and that all, including the military and the political parties, ensure that there is an environment conducive to the elections being held freely and fairly. Secondly, like others, we are deeply concerned by the reported rise in drug trafficking and, increasingly, drug trading, in Guinea-Bissau and other aspects of organized crime. I think the events following the landing of the plane from Venezuela on 12 July threw those concerns into stark relief.”

  6. “First of all, we would like to express our congratulations to you, Sir, and to China on your assumption of the presidency of the Council this month, and also to underline our gratitude to Ambassador Kafando and the team of Burkina Faso for their very successful shepherding of the Council through the busy month of September. We would like to thank Under-Secretary-General Pascoe for his briefing today and Ambassador Viotti for her briefing on the work of the Peacebuilding Commission on Guinea-Bissau. We welcome the adoption of the Strategic Framework for Peacebuilding in Guinea-Bissau. I think it is important that a monitoring and tracking mechanism that sets out realistic and tangible benchmarks for Guinea-Bissau be developed soon. I would like briefly to touch on three points.”

  7. “We would urge both parties, and especially Eritrea, to engage fully with those efforts. We agree with France that the Council should send a message today through a statement to the press. We thank the French delegation for the elements that it circulated yesterday, which we fully support.”

  8. “We join others in warmly welcoming the Prime Minister of Djibouti today and also the representatives of Eritrea, the African Union and the League of Arab States. We thank Mr. Honwana for his briefing. Of course, we welcome reports that the situation is calm at present, but we are also concerned by other reports of regroupings and reinforcements. The situation clearly remains fragile in an already very troubled region. We would reiterate all the concerns that were set out in the presidential statement of 12 June, including condemnation of the Eritrean military incursion, deep regret at the loss of life and the need for maximum restraint. Like others, we welcome the efforts of the African Union, the League of Arab States and third countries to help the parties find a peaceful way forward.”

  9. “We reconfirm the proposals we presented to Iran in June 2006 and are prepared to further develop them. Our proposals will offer substantial opportunities for political, security and economic benefits to Iran and to the region". (see S/PV.5848) We remain committed to that approach. This weekend, as our French colleague has noted, Mr. Javier Solana, the European Union's High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy, will be in Tehran with concrete proposals in that sense. We very much hope that the Government of Iran will meet the requirements of the IAEA Board of Governors and this Council and will take up the offer carried by Mr. Solana.”

  10. “The report noted that these activities were a matter of serious concern and that it was critical that Iran clarify them in order to assess the nature of its programme. It is worth recalling that Iran has received a generous and far-reaching offer in return for taking these steps. On 3 March of this year, the Governments of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, China, the Russian Federation and the United States reiterated their offer of dialogue and engagement. In that statement, the six Governments said, "We call upon Iran to heed the requirements of the United Nations Security Council and the IAEA, including the suspension of its enrichment-related and reprocessing activities. "We remain committed to an early negotiated solution to the Iranian nuclear issue and reaffirm our commitment to a dual-track approach.”

  11. “Without that, the IAEA continues to be unable to provide assurances about the absence of undeclared nuclear materials and activities in Iran; nor can it determine whether the nature of Iran's programme is exclusively peaceful. The third is that Iran resolve outstanding issues of concern to the IAEA by delivering fully on all the issues that remain outstanding under the work plan agreed between it and the Agency. Mr. ElBaradei's most recent report demonstrated that Iran has failed to make any progress on those three issues. It also set out the information it had about activities with a possible military dimension, including activities associated with the design of a nuclear warhead.”

  12. “We consider resolution 1803 (2008) to be the continuation of the Council's incremental and proportionate approach to the Iranian nuclear issue, gradually increasing the pressure on Iran to address widely shared concerns about its nuclear programme. That resolution once again reiterates our wish to achieve a negotiated solution. Three steps are required of Iran. The first is that Iran suspend all its enrichment-related and reprocessing activities. Iran continues to flout the legally binding Security Council requirement for such a suspension. The second is that Iran implement fully the additional protocol and the additional measures that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has requested.”

  13. “We too thank Ambassador Grauls for his report and welcome him to his new responsibilities as Chairperson of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1737 (2006). The delegation of the United Kingdom will give him its full support. I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome the significant work undertaken in the Committee since the Council last met, including: first, the updating of the Committee's guidelines to take into 3 account its responsibilities under resolution 1803 (2008); secondly, the preparation of the single document bringing together in one place the individuals and entities listed under the three resolutions; and, thirdly, in response to the ideas raised in this Chamber by Ambassador Kafando the last time we met, the preparation of the informal guidance paper on reporting to the Committee.”

  14. “The Security Council should respond by demonstrating clearly and publicly through a presidential statement that the ICC Prosecutor has the full backing of the Security Council in his efforts to implement resolution 1593 (2005).”

  15. “That obligation extends to the Government of Sudan, so we are gravely concerned to hear that there has been no change, since the Prosecutor's last report, in the Government of Sudan's attitude towards the ICC investigation. It is now more than a year since the arrest warrants for Ahmad Harun and Ali Kushayb for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes were issued, yet no action has been taken by the Government of Sudan to execute the warrants: the individuals remain at large. We call upon the Government of Sudan to immediately execute the arrest warrants for both of those suspects and to provide all necessary cooperation to the Court. As I said at the outset, the Security Council conferred a mandate on the ICC to investigate the situation in Darfur. The Prosecutor has to work strenuously to implement that mandate.”

  16. “All parties to the conflict should cease acts of violence and work together towards the creation of a lasting peace. The ICC, as an independent judicial institution, has a vital role to play in efforts to combat impunity, through its investigation of crimes in Darfur. Those accused of the most serious crimes must be brought to justice. We endorse what His Excellency the Foreign Minister of Costa Rica said about impunity and the principle of "never again". We call upon all parties in the conflict in Darfur to cooperate fully with, and provide all assistance to, the ICC and its Prosecutor, as they are required to do by resolution 1593 (2005).”

  17. “The United Kingdom fully endorses the Prosecutor's observation, which was also stressed by many Council members in our debate six months ago, that ending impunity is an essential component of a solution in Darfur. That was the primary reason for the adoption of resolution 1593 (2005). It is therefore deeply disturbing to read, and to hear in detail again from the Prosecutor today, reports of continuing violence in the region. It is clear that the humanitarian situation remains very grave. There is an urgent need to end the cycle of violence in Darfur, including the ongoing targeting of civilians, sexual violence, attacks on peacekeepers and humanitarian personnel and the hindrance of humanitarian aid. As the Prosecutor notes in his report, there can never be any excuse for bombing schools or raping women and girls.”

  18. “We join others in welcoming His Excellency the Foreign Minister of Costa Rica to today's briefing. His presence reflects Costa Rica's strong leadership on this issue. We also welcome the new Permanent Representative of Belgium. And, of course, we welcome Prosecutor Moreno- Ocampo back to the Security Council today. We thank him for his briefing and for his written report. We commend him for his continued and untiring efforts, together with his team, to implement the mandate conferred upon the International Criminal Court (ICC) by the Security Council in resolution 1593 (2005) to investigate violations of international humanitarian law in Darfur.”
