  1. “Finally, we reaffirm that differences between peoples must be settled in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, through constructive dialogue and with the necessary credibility in order to apply all these agreements.”

  2. “I would like to close by stressing that dialogue and contact between Uganda and Sudan continue to seek to remedy all the problems between the two countries. Sudan will continue to make every attempt to ensure the success of its efforts because we wish to have good-neighbourly relations with Uganda, as we have with all other neighbouring countries. We affirm here that we want to implement all African and international initiatives. I believe the representative of Uganda mentioned the Zambian and Iranian initiatives. We note that an initiative has also been launched by the Carter Centre. Very important meetings were held over a week ago at the ministerial level between Sudan and Uganda, within the framework of a dialogue for the application of the agreements we concluded. Those meetings were held in Atlanta.”

  3. “People must make all efforts for sustainable development. Finally, at this late hour, I would like to say to the representative of Uganda that what he said in his accusatory statement is unfounded. The problem in Uganda has to do with a conflict between the tribes of Uganda. President Museveni visited the country's northern region three months ago and said clearly that Sudan was not involved with Uganda's problems and that those problems stemmed from conflict and dissent within Uganda. President Museveni is therefore perfectly well aware that Sudan did not interfere in the situation in northern Uganda. As I have already said, this is a question of conflict among tribes regarding minority rule. It is an internal problem for the people of Uganda.”

  4. “In conclusion, as we have already emphasized, the comments we have made here are only preliminary observations on the comprehensive report of the Secretary-General. We hope that report will receive all the interest it merits from all Member States when it is debated in the General Assembly. The Council needs to take into consideration the opinions of all States before taking any decision on the report. We hope that in the very near future we will once again be able to discuss the report in a detailed manner. However, it is extremely important that the international community demonstrate real interest in finding fundamental solutions to the underlying causes of armed conflict, namely, poverty and underdevelopment. It should also seek to put an end to the suffering of children who are victims of those conflicts.”

  5. “We would like to recall what was pointed out concerning the involvement of certain non- governmental organizations in the transfer of munitions and personnel to the rebel movement in southern Sudan. That involvement incited the rebel movement to violate the humanitarian ceasefire in the Bahr El- Ghazal region and to place the lives of civilians in danger, especially those of women and children. The Council is therefore urged, first of all, to cooperate with States and Governments in gathering information regarding respect by States of their commitments in protecting children. The Council is also asked to deal with credible and serious organizations, to consecrate the principle of transparency in its dealing with organizations, to render its opinions clearly, and to verify the truth of these violations to relevant States.”

  6. “With all due appreciation of the important role assumed by non-governmental organizations in mobilizing the international community about situations in which children face dangers and other humanitarian problems, we also want to emphasize clearly and categorically that there have been violations of national laws by a number of non-governmental organizations working to provide humanitarian assistance. There have also been flagrant violations of principles of international and humanitarian law, as well as of the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter. It has been definitively proved that a great number of non-governmental organizations have participated in actions that exacerbate violence and conflict in Africa.”

  7. “We believe the time has come to condemn such armed groups, to call things by their true names and make distinctions between the responsibilities of States, on the one hand, and those of armed groups, on the other. It is also time to put an end to violations by those groups of international and humanitarian laws. Secondly, recommendation 53, which calls on the Council to work systematically to obtain information from non-governmental organizations regarding respect by parties to a conflict of their obligations and commitments regarding the protection of children, also says that the Council should take that information into consideration. This recommendation will take time.”

  8. “My delegation would like to make a few preliminary comments on the report of the Secretary- General, which includes a number of recommendations. As we have said, those recommendations require close study by the Council and the General Assembly. First, we welcome the recommendation that the Council work to prompt armed groups to respect standards on the protection of children, in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocol, and to respect international humanitarian law concerning the situation of children in regions of armed conflict. My country believes that armed rebel groups in Africa are directly responsible for violations of children's rights in areas of conflict.”

  9. “Sudan's signing of the Ottawa Convention on anti-personnel landmines reaffirms its commitment to enable all civilians, and children in particular, to free themselves of those dangerous weapons. The Government of Sudan has also cooperated with Mr. Otunnu, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, during the course of his visits to Sudan by reaffirming its commitment not to enlist children under the age of 18 into the military or to expose their lives to danger. The Government of Sudan reaffirmed its support for the efforts made with regard to local and traditional norms and values. Those efforts will help to promote the rights of the child. My Government has also assured Mr. Otunnu of its full cooperation, a fact that Mr. Otunnu has lauded in his reports following his visits to Sudan.”

  10. “Sudan was among the first States to sign the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Because of the interest we attach to children, we have recently established a superior council on children that falls directly under the presidency of the Republic. We have also created a commission to put an end to the phenomenon of child kidnappings. That commission was established with the participation and support of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the European Union, as well as of a number of States and national and international non-governmental organizations. The authorities in my country are currently giving serious consideration to signing the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child.”

  11. “Olara Otunnu, Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Children and Armed Conflict, for his tireless and ongoing efforts to raise global public awareness regarding this issue, which threatens generations to come. In the same context, we pay tribute to the work of the Secretary-General and thank him for his report submitted to the Council and to the General Assembly on children and armed conflict. We believe that this meeting will be followed by other meetings in the General Assembly and the specialized agencies of the United Nations to consider the report and its recommendations, so that all States Members of the United Nations will be able to take a stand on this highly important issue, which we believe is of interest to all Member States without exception.”

  12. “I should like to congratulate you, Madam President, on your outstanding presidency of the Council during this month. I clearly recall your outstanding chairmanship of the Preparatory Committee for the World Summit for Children. I should also like to thank your predecessor, the representative of France, for his distinguished performance as President last month, and the French delegation for their work during the French presidency. Sudan attaches particular interest to the question under consideration today in the Council. We have participated in all the public meetings held by the Council on the question of children in armed conflict and all other questions dealing with the subject. Before getting to the heart of the matter, I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to Mr.”
