  1. “The Netherlands will continue to remain fully committed in its efforts to alleviate the tragic suffering of the people and to promote the peaceful solution of the conflict.”

  2. “We believe that the so-called core group of countries already involved in the peace process should develop a comprehensive strategy to end the conflict and mobilize broader international support for a long- term strategy, in support of and in cooperation with the Government of Uganda. Furthermore, we believe the worsening detrimental effects of the activities of the Lord's Resistance Army on regional peace and security warrant attention by the Security Council. The international involvement should focus on the political process, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, return, reconstruction and development and should also assist the Governments in the region to address the security problems caused by the continued presence of the Lord's Resistance Army on their territory.”

  3. “The recent briefing by the Under-Secretary- General for Humanitarian Affairs, Jan Egeland, highlighted once more the impact that the activities of the LRA are having on the civilian populations of northern Uganda, southern Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The international community should assume its responsibility to address this threat to regional security, which is combined with the humanitarian crisis. In that respect, we hope that the International Criminal Court's arrest warrants concerning five leaders of the LRA will be effectively executed as soon as possible, also in the light of their preventive impact on further atrocities.”

  4. “We also urge the countries of the region to prepare seriously for the second Summit, in Nairobi, which should take place as soon as possible, and to adopt a security, stability and development pact for the countries of the Great Lakes region. As far as peace and security is concerned, there certainly are serious challenges still ahead. The tragic events in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo that I mentioned earlier have made clear that the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) poses a threat to regional peace and security, affecting the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in Sudan and the transitional process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

  5. “We think that in the coming months strong leadership is required, and in that respect we count on the Tanzanian presidency of the Conference. Some serious decisions will have to be taken and difficult choices will have to be made. In line with the proposals presented by the Tanzanian Government, we support the idea of a permanent regional mechanism to strengthen democracy, good governance, the rule of law, the protection of human rights and reconciliation. We urge the countries of the region to honour their commitments made in the Dar es-Salaam Declaration of 2004 and to continue their collective efforts in developing a subregional framework for promoting and strengthening good relations, peaceful coexistence and peaceful resolution of disputes.”

  6. “We are pleased to see that Burundi has joined this Tripartite - now being called Tripartite Plus - mechanism. We urge that this mechanism remain in force. These are all important, positive developments promoting peace and stability in the longer term. Concerning the Great Lakes Conference, we still see some challenges ahead. The Conference, we think, still has to find a clear focus, and the postponement of the Summit, which was envisaged to take place in December last year in Nairobi, has affected the very credibility of the Conference. We call upon the countries of the region to maintain and to show their commitment to the process and make sure the momentum will not be lost as a result of the postponement.”

  7. “We can wholeheartedly congratulate the Government of Burundi on the successful completion of the transition and on the elections. Hopefully, they will serve as an example for the electoral process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which so successfully started with the referendum on the 18 December. Despite some delays, preparations for elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are now being carried out with great determination and the necessary sense of urgency. Let us hope that the democratic process there is irreversible. In 2005 we also saw that the countries in the region had actually aligned themselves in finding diplomatic and peaceful solutions within the Tripartite Commission, which has been so successfully facilitated by the United States.”

  8. “But first of all, Madam President, let me join other delegations in strongly condemning the attack against the detachment of the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) on 23 January 2006, which resulted in the death of eight Guatemalan peacekeepers and the severe wounding of five others. We offer our sincere condolences to the victims' families and to the authorities of Guatemala. We commend the dedication and courage of MONUC personnel. The Netherlands Government very much welcomes the initiative of the United Republic of Tanzania for this important and timely open debate emphasizing the continued involvement of the Security Council with the Great Lakes region. I am particularly pleased, Madam Minister, to see you presiding over this meeting. We saw some quite positive developments last year.”

  9. “The Netherlands delegation fully associates itself with the statement made earlier by the Austrian presidency of the European Union. As Co-Chair of the Group of Friends of the Great Lakes Region, the Netherlands has shown its strong commitment to contribute and assist in promoting regional and bilateral solutions to the conflicts that have ravaged the region for so long. Therefore we have gladly accepted the invitation of the United Republic of Tanzania to participate in this open debate of the Security Council and to add a few remarks of our own, focusing on the achievements so far and challenges still ahead.”
