1. “Let me also thank Special Adviser Lang, Assistant Secretary- General Mathias and the representative of Somalia for their briefings today. I especially want to thank Special Adviser Lang for his comprehensive and creative report (see S/2011/30) on piracy prosecution. The United States fully agrees that to truly address piracy we must find solutions both on land and at sea. As Mr. Lang has rightly noted, piracy off the coast of Somalia threatens us all. Captured crews are used as human shields or held for ransom, and the region faces higher prices for basic commodities. Piracy endangers the critical delivery of humanitarian aid. The rising sums of illicit funds flowing into Somalia through ransom payments further destabilize the region and fuel the growth of organized crime and terrorism.”

2. “There are no easy solutions for societies recovering from conflict, but we must persist in working together to try to craft and implement the specific solutions that each post-conflict society needs. Nothing less than international peace and security hang in the balance.”

3. “We appreciate the briefings to the membership by the Senior Advisory Group, and we hope that the review will emphasize the question of core national capacities in post-conflict States. We look forward to reviewing specific proposals to make the United Nations own civilian capacities more timely, relevant and flexible and more open to deeper partnerships. Our approach to this review will be guided by our own recent national efforts, as laid out in my Government's first quadrennial diplomacy and development review. We continue to value the Secretary-General's ongoing efforts to make United Nations field missions more effective, particularly his work to ensure that the top leaders of missions are selected carefully and held accountable. This meeting is a timely reminder of how essential the work of peacebuilding and institution- building is.”

4. “But as many of us said in the Council yesterday, Haiti will continue to face steep challenges unless the international commitment to recovery remains strong and sustained and unless all parties redouble their efforts to strengthen Haiti's critical governing institutions. The country's recovery depends on its ability to find a way to move ahead, even amid complex challenges, including the continuing turmoil surrounding the November 2010 election. The effectiveness of international assistance to institution-building in Liberia, Haiti and other countries emerging from conflict depends on the United Nations and other multilateral and bilateral actors being able to quickly identify and deploy qualified civilian expertise. We therefore look forward in the coming weeks to the findings of the international review of civilian capacity.”

5. “Fortunately, we have collectively acknowledged the challenges and resolved to make headway on them in the year ahead. For example, we have turned to the Peacebuilding Commission to help the democratically elected Government of Liberia to extend State authority beyond Monrovia by establishing regional hubs that will help deliver fair and timely justice in rural communities and make trained police and magistrates more accessible to the population as a whole. We have established new mechanisms and pledged considerable financial assistance to help Haiti consolidated the impressive progress it has made since the terrible earthquake struck a little more than a year ago.”

6. “We have learned important lessons over the past two decades in this field, but we also have work to do in putting them into practice. We all agree that national ownership of the processes of rebuilding and renewal is indispensable, but we still struggle to assist fragile post-conflict Governments so they can set and implement their own priorities. We recognize that women need to play a more active role in peacebuilding, but we still lag in ensuring that women have an equitable stake in making post-conflict decisions and a full voice in running key institutions. We know that the sustainability of a peace process often hinges on strengthening key national institutions, but we still grapple with how best to mobilize effective and timely international assistance in such vital areas as the rule of law and security sectors.”

7. “In 1995, the Dayton Peace Accords ended a shattering conflict that claimed more than 100,000 lives and drove more than 2 million people from their homes. Through more than 15 years of dedicated effort, Bosnia and Herzegovina has built up national governmental institutions one by one and made them stronger and more effective - from the Ministry of Defence to the customs service, the tax agency and the central bank. The United Nations, together with a wide range of other actors, has been involved in helping post- conflict countries grapple with their most pressing needs now for more than 20 years, and Virtually every conflict-wracked country currently on the agenda of the Council - from Haiti, to Liberia to the Sudan to Afghanistan i seeks effective international assistance to rebuild its institutions.”

8. “I thank the Secretary-General, Deputy Prime Minister Guterres and Ambassador Wittig for their thoughtful briefings today. The only way to truly end a war is to successfully build a peace. Old embers left to smolder can ignite into new flames. Old weaknesses left to languish can summon new risks. So we face an important challenge here today - to sharpen all the tools at our disposal in order to do an essential job better. We meet today at the initiative of our colleague from Bosnia and Herzegovina, who has rightly drawn the Council's attention to our topic today. This is fitting. Countries that have themselves endured and overcome the horrors of war are particularly suited to providing leadership - leadership that rests on hard-won wisdom.”

9. “Despite these enormous challenges, progress has been made since the earthquake struck. The recovery effort will take years. It will take partnership. It will take commitment. But Haiti's Government and its strong and resilient people had been making impressive progress towards greater stability and greater prosperity before calamity struck. We are determined to work together with them and with the international community over the long term to restore hope in the years to come. 7”

10. “Haiti's supporters have shown unprecedented bilateral and multilateral cooperation, yet we must all deepen our commitment to progress and sustainable development in Haiti, led by its people. The United States has so far spent $332 million of our $1.15 billion recovery pledge over two years. These disbursements of our pledged funds come in addition to the more than $1 billion the United States has already provided in post-earthquake humanitarian funds, the more than $400 million we have reprogrammed to help support the recovery, and the more than $40 million we have spent on the cholera response. The collective commitment that we have made to Haiti's recovery must be sustained. For our part, United States spending against our pledge will continue to ramp up, not scale back.”

11. “Through the United States Agency for International Development and the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we support these efforts to get the word out to all Haitians. Finally, let me turn to reconstruction and recovery. Lasting security in Haiti will not be achieved by police and troops alone. It will also take jobs and economic opportunity. The prospects for rebuilding Haiti depend upon maintaining a secure environment and creating jobs for Haitians. Many of the countries represented here today pledged assistance to Haiti during the March 2010 donors' conference. We must all remain committed to Haiti's recovery, deliver on those pledges and work in a coordinated and strategic fashion through the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission.”

12. “The United States welcomes the coordination and leadership role played throughout the crisis by Haiti's Ministry of Public Health and Population. The United States will continue to work with the Ministry and with the United Nations, non-governmental organization partners and other donors in the multilateral relief effort to help fill programmatic and funding gaps in the Government of Haiti's anti-cholera strategy. We encourage other donors and partners to do the same. 11-21162 We continue to see encouraging signs that Haitians are heeding the Ministry of Public Health and Population's messages about chlorinating water and other hygiene procedures. But these gains in hygiene, as we have just heard, could easily vanish without sustained efforts.”

13. “Without security, Haiti will be hamstrung in its attempts to tackle many of its most critical challenges, including rebuilding areas devastated by the earthquake and saving lives at risk in the cholera outbreak. During these challenging and uncertain days, we call on all actors to proceed in a calm and peaceful manner and to understand that violence and unrest can only thwart the will of the Haitian people, not express it. Thirdly, let me say a few words about the humanitarian situation. A credible, peaceful and timely transfer of power is essential to Haiti's response to the cholera crisis. Unfortunately, cholera will be present in Haiti for years to come. Working with Haitian partners, the international community must continue to address short-term needs while working to lessen the disease's long-term impact.”

14. “The situation on the ground is obviously fluid, but the Government of Haiti seems to be taking initial steps to hold Duvalier accountable for his actions during his time ruling Haiti. Secondly, let me turn to security. My Government again thanks the dedicated men and women of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) for their invaluable work in helping the Haitian National Police uphold the rule of law and in promoting overall security and stability in Haiti. We ask that MINUSTAH continue to work to provide a secure environment throughout this period of uncertainty, even as it supports a credible elections process. Haiti cannot have hope if it does not have security.”

15. “It must include announcing first-round results and conducting second-round elections in a manner consistent with the recommendations and findings of the OAS technical review. And it must include enacting measures that will increase public confidence in future electoral processes. Let me also say a few words about the return this week of former President J can-Claude Duvalier. Given the continuing turmoil surrounding the November 2010 election, the United States is concerned about the unpredictable impact that Duvalier's return may have on Haiti's political situation. My Government is clear about Duvalier's notorious record of human rights abuses and corruption.”

16. “We urge the Provisional Electoral Council to implement the OAS report's recommendations. Sustained support from the international community, including the United States, requires a credible process that represents the will of the Haitian people, as expressed by their votes. The United States strongly supports the Secretary- General's statement of 8 December, which expressed the United Nations commitment to free and fair elections that reflect the will of the Haitian people. We urge the Haitian authorities to outline a very clear way forward that will lead promptly to the inauguration of a legitimate and democratically elected Government. This must include issuing a timely and public electoral calendar.”

17. “A year later, Haiti's road to recovery is still long and difficult, but we must walk it together. We must rededicate ourselves to an enduring partnership with the Haitian people to help a suffering land rebuild and renew itself, strengthening Haiti's institutions and increasing its capacity so it can bind up the wounds of the past and build a better, more secure and more prosperous future for its people. I would like to touch on four main topics today: elections, security, the humanitarian situation and reconstruction. First, with regard to elections, the United States welcomes the report of the Organization of American States (OAS) verification mission. Its findings offer a way forward towards improving credibility and public confidence in the presidential electoral process in Haiti.”

18. “I thank Under-Secretaries-General Le Roy and Amos for their very useful briefings. I also thank our Haitian colleague for his update. We are meeting today a little more than a year after Haiti was struck by a truly devastating earthquake - a blow that lasted just 47 seconds but killed more than 220,000 human beings and left countless more wounded and desperate. The human and economic cost, as we all know, has been staggering, the worst of any natural disaster ever recorded in the western hemisphere. In this Chamber, let me also recall the terrible toll that the quake took on the Organization, claiming the lives of 102 United Nations agency staff and peacekeepers, who had been working together with the Haitian people to bring about a brighter future.”

19. “As we discussed during consultations on the Sudan on 6 January, the unity shown by the Council has gone a long way towards supporting the parties as they have stayed on the path of peace. We need to continue to watch closely as the parties continue to implement the CPA. As progress is made, we should welcome it and offer continued encouragement. But just as important, we need to be prepared to insist upon and to support the full and final implementation of the CPA on such issues as protection of minorities and rejection of proxy militias and other threats to peace and security in the Sudan.”

20. “We recall that 40,000 residents of Darfur were displaced from their homes in December alone. Civilians continue to live under the threat of attack and sexual and gender-based violence. It is therefore in all of our interests to continue to work to prevent genocide. The United States again calls on the Government of the Sudan to immediately halt aerial bombardments. We condemn attacks on civilians in the strongest possible terms. Obtaining a ceasefire between the Government of the Sudan and the armed movements should be the immediate objective of the peace process. The political process for a Darfur peace agreement must be reinvigorated. All relevant parties must come back to the negotiating table.”

21. “That access is especially important given the alarming reports that Sudanese armed forces have burned homes and blocked civilians' access to UNAMID in Khor Abeche and that the Government of the Sudan violated the North-South ceasefire with repeated aerial bombardments into the Kiir River valley. That is in addition to the all-too-frequent reports of aerial bombardment in Jebel Marra and the Government of the Sudan's ongoing refusal to grant UNAMID patrols access to affected populations in spite of the status-of-forces agreement. We are deeply saddened and troubled by the news that on 13 January three Bulgarian helicopter crew members contracted to the World Food Programme were kidnapped in Darfur. We convey our condolences to their families and we urge the Government of the Sudan to do its utmost to facilitate their safe return.”

22. “We urge Council members to join us in calling on the Government of the Sudan to release those who have been imprisoned unjustly, including those jailed for exercising such basic rights as freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom of assembly. As President Obama has made Clear, the United States wants the leaders in the Sudan to choose the path of peace and prosperity for all of the Sudanese people. He has extended the hand of the United States in that spirit. In order for that future to be realized, however, the Sudan, too, must work with the international community. That includes cooperating with UNMIS and the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) to facilitate full freedom of access and movement for United Nations peacekeepers and for humanitarian workers.”

23. “We call on the parties to bring the same spirit to those negotiations as they have brought to the conduct of the referendum itself. For all of the inspiring events in the Sudan over the past week, the United States laments the loss of life in Abyei and the border region and reiterates its deep concern regarding the arrest, detention and harassment of human rights activists and journalists by the Government of the Sudan's security forces, which prevented both a Sudan People's Liberation Movement leader and an Umma Party leader from conducting television interviews. In addition, four university students were arrested in separate incidents for trying to host discussions.”

24. “We reiterate that any resolution regarding the future of the Abyei area must be reached with the consent of both parties and through a political settlement or a process that respects the rights and needs of those communities traditionally associated with the area. Along with the status of Abyei, there are other outstanding issues that require urgent attention, such as border demarcation, citizenship, wealth-sharing agreements, natural resource management, the division of the national debt, security arrangements, currency arrangements and international treaties and legal obligations, which are all equally important. We also consider peaceful, inclusive popular consultations in Blue Nile and Southern Kordofan states that reflect the will of the people to be essential components of the implementation of the CPA.”

25. “On 16 January, the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development and the African Union called the referendum "free, fair and credible." We commend the work of the hundreds of international and thousands of domestic observers. The United States continues to urge everyone to respect the results of the referendum. Of course, we must all focus on the challenging and promising road ahead. We urge the parties to return to the negotiating table as soon as possible to negotiate a rapid and sustainable resolution to the question of Abyei and other outstanding CPA issues. The United States fully supports the efforts of the Chair of the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel, President Thabo Mbeki, to facilitate these agreements.”

26. “We welcome the 16 January statement from the Secretary-General's Panel on the Referenda in the Sudan, in which it stated that it was satisfied that the referendum process had "allowed the people of Southern Sudan to express their will freely". A number of other observer missions have also already released preliminary statements. On 17 January, the Carter Center called the referendum peaceful and credible and broadly consistent with international standards. The Arab League stated that the process was "in line with international standards". The European Union observer mission commended a "peaceful, credible voting process with overwhelming turnout".”

27. “Thanks to their tireless efforts under daunting challenges and difficult circumstances, the people of the Sudan have been able to take a huge step forward on the path towards the full implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), which ended a 23-year civil war. My Government congratulates Special Representative of the Secretary-General Menkerios, who is performing an incredibly difficult job with grace and wisdom. We thank him. We also welcome the work that the Southern Sudan Referendum Commission, the Southern Sudan Referendum Bureau, the Government of the Sudan and the Government of Southern Sudan have done to ensure that this historic referendum occurred on time and peacefully and reflected the will of the people.”

28. “We have all heard reports of long lines forming overnight on 8 January and of people standing in line for hours to vote. We have even heard of a case in which a river ferry broke down and voters jumped into the presumably crocodile-infested river and swam across to reach the polling station. As President Obama said after the polling closed, "The past week has given the world renewed faith in the prospect of a peaceful, prosperous future for all of the Sudanese people a future that the American people long to see in Sudan." The United States commends the men and women of the United Nations Mission in the Sudan (UNMIS) for their outstanding work.”

I join President Obama in congratulating the people and leaders of the Sudan on the successful completion of voting on the referendum on independence. The people of Southern Sudan, after decades of war and more than 2 million killed, have cast their votes peacefully and expressed their will. The promise of self-determination was made to the Southern Sudanese people in 2005. Thanks to the commitment of the people of the Sudan and the support of the international community, that promise was finally fulfilled. Let us not underestimate what this referendum means to the people of Southern Sudan.”
