1. “It is certain that women already have an important role and are capable of playing an even greater role in all issues relating to conflict prevention and conflict resolution. In that context, we support the development of a strategy to ensure women's fully fledged participation in peace talks and in the electoral processes. During post-conflict reconstruction, there must be broader use of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) as the basic reference instrument. The United Nations System-wide Action Plan for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) was adopted in 2005 and helped us to implement the United Nations strategy on women, peace and security. The Action Plan made it possible to enhance interagency coordination and structural accountability.”

2. “Mr. Rogachev (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) continues to be relevant as a guideline in defining the role of women in conflict prevention, conflict resolution and post-conflict reconstruction. We must apply the provisions of the resolution in the process of creating equal opportunities for the women to participate actively in peacebuilding and security, as well as to play a growing role in decision-making. The issue is being mainstreamed in the work of the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and the Commission on the Status of Women and should occupy an appropriate place in the work of the Peacebuilding Commission and the work of the Human Rights Council.”

3. “A response to such a global challenge can be possible only if we pool the efforts of the entire international community. We commend the interaction among the CTC, the 1267 Committee and the 1540 Committee. We hope that cooperation among the experts of the three Committees will continue in the future.”

4. “Closer contact between the Committee and export control regimes, and in particular greater involvement on the part of senior officials of those regimes in the seminars to which I just referred, should be a priority in the Committee's work. Effective work to implement resolution 1540 (2004) will only be possible with the enhancement of productive interaction between States regarding non- proliferation problems. The most important thing is to ensure countries' full implementation of the provisions of the resolution. That will ultimately enable the creation of national systems to monitor the use by States of goods and technologies related to weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. We must all work together to create a solid barrier against non- State actors seeking to gain access to such weapons and related materials.”

5. “For our part, we would be prepared to provide States with expert assistance should they encounter difficulties in preparing their national reports. We commend the Committee's work to organize and participate in regional seminars on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). Russia will continue to take an active part in that regard. At the same time, we note that a significant body of non-proliferation information and expertise acquired, inter alia, through export control regimes has not yet been assimilated by the Committee. Streamlining national systems of export controls is a key component of resolution 1540 (2004).”

6. “The exacerbation of the situation in Afghanistan caused by those extremists and terrorists once again demonstrates how urgent it is to strengthen the sanctions regime established by the Security Council. With regard to the activities of the 1540 Committee, one of its main tasks at this stage is to provide assistance to States in submitting their national reports. Unfortunately, about one third of Member States have not yet done so. Given that fact, Russia, as Chair of the G-8, has proposed a collective demarche on behalf of the Group to States that are late with their submissions. We believe that only by receiving regular reports from all States can we have a full picture of the global situation as regards national measures on non- proliferation.”

7. “We hope to see the continuation of the interactive and fruitful discussions in the 1267 Committee regarding improving the Committee's guidelines. We are prepared to play an active role in that regard. In our view, some progress has been made in this area, which will no doubt help to strengthen the sanctions regime itself. We are convinced that the most important thing in that regard is to improve national mechanisms for the taking of decisions to add new names to the sanctions list. It is precisely the commitment of Member States to the full and conscientious implementation of their obligations that will determine the success of our common efforts to stem the unabated threat to international peace and security posed by the Taliban and Al-Qaida.”

8. “We attach great importance to continuing the practice of country visits by the Chairman of the Committee and members of the Monitoring Team. We also favour closer coordination in this area, in particular with the CTC and its Executive Directorate. The 1267 Committee's Consolidated List continues to be the main instrument for the implementation of the anti-Taliban sanctions regime. We welcome the efforts of the Monitoring Team and of the Committee itself to improve the List. We call upon Member States to continue to submit to the Committee requests for the listing of persons and organizations associated with the Taliban and Al-Qaida, as well as to provide additional information with regard to those persons.”

9. “We once again call upon those countries that have not submitted their reports to the Committee to do so as soon as possible. At the same time, the Committee should very soon think about a plan for future interaction with States regarding the implementation of resolution 1624 (2005), including the portion of the resolution that has yet to be implemented. We expect that, along with the CTC's next six-monthly report, the Council will also be provided with the Committee's report on the implementation of resolution 1624 (2005). We continue to view the 1267 Committee and its Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team as one of the effective and productive Security Council mechanisms to meet the challenges of counter- terrorism.”

10. “The report submitted to the Security Council, surveying measures taken by States to implement the resolution, reflects material submitted by only 69 States. The very fact that such a very low number of reports have been received from various regions of the world and that almost two thirds of Member States have not submitted reports has hardly brought us any closer to a truly objective picture. That is particularly disquieting given that, among other things, the implementation of the more complicated part of the mandate lies ahead. This relates to assisting States by providing them with shared best practices and databases of legislative and other measures to suppress incitement to terrorism and to implement the other provisions of resolution 1624 (2005).”

11. “As current Chair of the Group of Eight (G-8), the Russian Federation consistently believes in utilizing the capabilities of its Counter-Terrorism Action Group to provide assistance to the CTC's visiting missions. We welcome the steps taken by the Committee to organize systematic work with States on the outcome of the visiting missions. Given the increasingly busy schedule of such visits, this is an issue that must remain central among the CTC's concerns. I would especially like to focus on the implementation of resolution 1624 (2005). Unfortunately, we must observe that the results here neither meet our expectations nor live up to the innovative and forward-looking spirit of the resolution, which is of crucial importance to preventing terrorism and strengthening the basis for a dialogue among civilizations.”

12. “The five years that have passed since the adoption of resolution 1373 (2001) have served to convince us of the complexity and length of its implementation process. We hope that the Committee's recent improvements in the methods of assessing the resolution's implementation and the accountability of States will increase the quality of the dialogue with States and streamline the provision of timely necessary technical assistance to them. We support the CTC's initiatives on targeted interaction with individual regional and subregional organizations. We also welcome the preparatory work now under way to organize the fifth meeting of the CTC with international and regional partners. The work done by the Committee with regard to country visits is now more meaningful and profound than ever.”

13. “Of particular importance here is the resolution's emphasis on preventing global terrorism and also on enhancing the anti-terrorism security capabilities of Member States. The practical implementation of such goals is impossible without coordinated active work by the Security Council in the various areas of counter- terrorism and without the consistent implementation of its resolutions, the task of monitoring which is entrusted to the three subsidiary Committees. On the whole, the Russian Federation commends the work done by the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) and its Executive Directorate. We support the main programmatic areas of the Committee's work of the set forth in Ambassador Loj's briefing.”

14. “Mr. Rogachev (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): First of all, we would like to express gratitude to the Chairpersons of the Al-Qaida and Taliban sanctions Committee, the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) and the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) - Ambassadors Mayoral, Loj and Burian respectively, for their comprehensive briefings on the Security Council's work in those key areas of countering the global threat of international terrorism. The Russian Federation welcomed the General Assembly's adoption of the United Nations Global Counter-terrorism Strategy (General Assembly resolution 60/288), which Russia sees as possessing significant potential for the necessary strengthening of the international community's system-wide work to eradicate terrorism.”

16. “We must support the implementation of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes for child soldiers, ensure humanitarian access to conflict zones, maintain the civilian nature of camps for refugees and internally displaced persons, and end the sexual exploitation of children. In the context of preventing violence, key elements include the fight against impunity and bringing to justice all those who are guilty of crimes against children. The protection of children is system-wide. Such work must be well coordinated in order to enhance its effectiveness and avoid redundancy. There is a need for a streamlined division of labour between United Nations bodies, in accordance with the Organization's Charter, and other international legal instruments.”

17. “The Security Council must support the implementation of the entire range of aforementioned tasks, with a key role to be played by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Children and Armed Conflict. We welcome the appointment to that post of Ms. Coomaraswamy and note her highly proactive and balanced approach in the fulfilment of her mandate. The latter is especially relevant in the context of one highly important aspect of her work - visits to countries where children suffer most in conflict. Closest to suffering children are those working in the field, including Government structures, peacekeepers and civil society representatives. We expect to see results from the appointment to peacekeeping missions of child-protection advisers.”

18. “We are confident that, under the leadership of Permanent Representative De La Sabliere, the Working Group will continue to operate in a spirit of cooperation and focus on constructive measures. With respect to plans for the Group's future work, we feel that it must focus its attention primarily on the most urgent and largest-scale situations of armed conflict, and not only in Africa. That will require an impartial and non-selective approach, as well as strict compliance with the principles of the United Nations humanitarian activities. Unfortunately, the current world situation gives us every reason for serious concern in that context, as particularly reaffirmed in the 20 July statement of Ms. Coomaraswamy.”

19. “We look forward to the conclusions of the independent review of the functioning of the mechanism, which should give us a clear picture of what has been done and what remains to be done if the system is to operate effectively. The Council's new Working Group is off to a good start, to the great credit of the President of the Security Council and our colleagues in the French mission. The core documents regulating the activities of the Group have been agreed. The first report of the Secretary-General on the situation of children in a specific situation has been considered, and information is being regularly received from the monitoring and reporting mechanism.”

20. “It is now necessary to ensure the effective functioning of those combined instruments and to guarantee the reliability and integrity of the information being received by the Security Council through the multi-tier mechanism from elements of the reporting and monitoring mechanism on the ground. The deployment of the mechanism in conflict- affected countries is ongoing and beginning to generate its initial results. However, it is important that the process be implemented in strict compliance with resolution 1612 (2005), which provides for the priority establishment of the mechanism in situations on the Council's agenda.”

21. “Mr. Rogachev (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): The protection of civilians in armed conflict and post-conflict situations continues to be at the centre of attention of the United Nations and its Security Council. At the same time, we do not absolve Governments of their primary responsibility for ensuring and protecting the rights of children in their own countries. Resolution 1612 (2005) laid out new systemic bases for ensuring the protection of children in armed conflict and in post-conflict reconstruction. Specific results include the launching of the monitoring and reporting mechanism in that field and the beginning of work by the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict.”

22. “Mr. Rogachev (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We did not object to the extension of the mandate of the ad litem Judge, Judge Joaquin Martin Canivell. We therefore supported the draft resolution, since such a decision is in keeping with the completion strategy of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. At the same time, we should like to draw attention to the fact that the Security Council has now been obliged for a second time to deal with the issue of extending the mandate of this judge. We consider that fact to be further proof of the insufficiently satisfactory organization of the Tribunal's work.”

24. “We support the proposals contained in the statement of its Chairman, Mr. Burian, with regard to working with States that have been late in submitting their reports, including by holding regional seminars and strengthening cooperation with international non- proliferation and export control mechanisms. Because of the broad scale of the tasks set out in resolution 1540 (2004), the resolution's implementation should not be limited to an infrequent formal listing of accountabilities. Much painstaking work lies ahead of us to establish an improved national monitoring and non-proliferation regime. That is why, in November 2005, we spoke in the Security Council in favour of an initiative to extend the 1540 Committee's work for two more years.”

25. “They allow for more substantive consideration of States' needs for technical and other types of assistance in implementing sanctions against the Taliban, Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities. Russia, working together with its partners in the Security Council and all interested delegations, will continue to help further enhance the effectiveness of the activities of the 1267 Committee and the Monitoring Team. Security Council resolution 1540 (2004) is an important non-proliferation and antiterrorist instrument aimed at preventing weapons of mass destruction from entering the black market and, above all, from falling into the hands of terrorists. Ensuring full compliance by all States with its provisions is our priority task. We are satisfied with the work of the Council's 1540 Committee in analysing national reports.”

26. “We must further intensify the coordinated international efforts to neutralize that threat and to ensure full and scrupulous compliance by all States, including the Government of Afghanistan, with their obligations under the relevant Security Council resolutions. In that connection, we welcome the strengthening of the 1267 Committee's cooperation with Interpol, which is reflected in particular by specific steps for the issuance of joint special notices by the Security Council and Interpol regarding individuals on the sanctions list. We should also establish the practice of country visits by the Chair of the 1267 Committee and members of the Monitoring Team. Such visits enable us to become familiar with the situation on the ground and to report first-hand to Member States regarding the importance of this area of the Council's work.”

27. “We must also make more effective use of the opportunities provided by such visits to develop the necessary dialogue with States on compliance with the provisions of resolution 1624 (2005), which is designed to combat incitement to terrorism and to prevent the spread of intolerant and extremist ideas. We hope that the CTC as a whole will become more actively involved in implementing the resolution's provisions, which are an important component of its mandate and truly assist States in their efforts to prevent terrorism and to create conditions that will strengthen dialogue among civilizations and religions. We continue to attach priority to the work of the 1267 Committee, concerning sanctions on Al-Qaida and the Taliban. The threat posed by those groups to international peace and security remains real and recently has even increased.”

28. “We attach great importance to improving CTC field visits. We believe that the first round of those visits has already enabled us to draw initial conclusions. We have clearly made progress in enhancing the quality of expertise with which States comply with the provisions of resolution 1373 (2001), in evaluating requirements for technical assistance and in forming a reliable pool of international and specialized organizations participating in the CTC's visits. At the same time, we believe that we must devote greater attention to the mechanism for monitoring State compliance with the final recommendations made by the missions after they have completed their work.”

29. “We welcome the notable progress in enhancing the work of the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC), which has been made possible because of the activities of the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED). The Committee's eighteenth work programme is based largely on the basic guidelines for the overall activities approved by the Security Council for the CTED in December 2005, including broad tasks reflecting the Committee's new and strengthened potential. We support the programme's priorities, which indicate a shift towards a differentiated approach to reports submitted by States, and the initiatives to establish more effective coordination in providing technical assistance and strengthening systematic work with donors and deepening cooperation with international organizations.”

I would also like to thank Ambassador Lo j , Ambas sador Mayoral and Ambassador Burian for their briefings on the activities of the Committees that they head. The Russian Federation fully supports the development of coordination and cooperation between the three Security Council Committees that are tasked with combating terrorism, and considers those activities to be an important aspect of strengthening the anti-terrorist capacities of the United Nations and the Security Council.”

31. “We believe it appropriate to say, once again, that the competent Russian bodies currently are conducting consultations with ICTY representatives for a definition of the modalities for transfer of a detainee on the territory of the Russian Federation, Mr. Dragan Zelenovic, to The Hague. We believe that the recently observed waning of interest in the work of the Tribunals, reflected particularly by the difficulty in finding candidates for ad litem judges, shows the importance of the timely implementation of the tasks incumbent upon the ICTY and the ICTR.”

32. “Another useful personnel decision was the appointment, at the request of the leadership of the ICTY, of Christine Van Den Wyngaert as a judge for the Mrksic et al trial. She began her duties as a permanent judge earlier than scheduled. We believe that the exceptional measures taken by the Security Council and by the General Assembly will help to maintain the rapid pace of the ICTY's work and the timely implementation of the completion strategy. We are convinced of the need to apprehend and to try those who are accused of committing the most serious crimes that come within the purview of the ICTY and the ICTR. We note with satisfaction that the Yugoslav Tribunal has managed significantly to increase its cooperation with the States of the region in this sphere.”

33. “It would be interesting to consider possible options for the use of stand-by judges in the aforementioned three trials with a view to ensuring continuous consideration of these cases. We hope that other Council members also have an interest in this idea on the whole design to comply with the time frame for the completion strategy in the Tribunals' work. One important element that enhances the effectiveness of the work of the ICTY and the ICTR is their uninterrupted financing and staffing. In this connection, I would like to call attention to the election of ad litem judges for the ICTY in August of last year, for which we needed to have some changes in the Tribunal's statute.”

In this connection, we would like to point out the growing efforts to strengthen the potential of judicial bodies in the Governments of the former republics of Yugoslavia, first and foremost, Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the same time, we understand the difficulties encountered in this regard by the ICTR. We deem useful the activities of the leadership of the ICTY in the joinder of cases, in particular the multiple accused cases mentioned by the Tribunal President, Mr. Pocar, beginning in February next year.”

The Russian Federation continues to believe in the need for strict compliance by both Tribunals with their completion strategies within the time frames set out by the Security Council. We note with satisfaction that since the last discussion by the Council, in June of this year, progress in the completion strategy has been quite tangible. We believe that the transfer of a number of accused, especially General Gotovina, to the ICTY makes the timely conclusion of the trial proceedings entirely possible.”

36. “Clearly, the impact of terrorism on peaceful populations is an issue that, although somewhat germane to the subject under discussion today, will require a separate investigation in the appropriate forums - perhaps in one of the Security Council's subsidiary bodies dealing with counter-terrorism. Mechanisms for early warning and for preventing war and conflict are of fundamental importance for ensuring the protection of civilians. The effective functioning of such mechanisms - which is, of course, conditioned by the effective participation of States - should lead to a situation in which the question of protecting civilians is no longer so prominent on the international community's agenda.”

37. “We believe that it is clearly premature to advance that concept in Security Council documents. We all remember well the complex compromise that was required to reflect that issue in the 2005 Summit Outcome document. In that connection - and the outcome document states this - we need to have a detailed discussion in the General Assembly of the issue of the responsibility to protect before we can discuss its implementation. It is difficult to agree that it is advisable to include under the heading of the protection of civilians such disparate concepts as armed conflict and terrorism.”

38. “A prompt response by the United Nations to incidents of violence against civilians during armed conflict and combating sexual violence as a means of waging war are very important in dealing with crisis situations. We must consider the possibility of having peacekeeping missions protect civilian populations from physical and sexual violence. Fighting impunity and bringing to justice those guilty of such crimes are key factors in preventing violence. It is appropriate in this context to stress the role played by the International Criminal Court and to recall the as-yet-untapped potential of the Fact-Finding Commission created in accordance with article 90 of the first Protocol Additional to the 1949 Geneva Conventions on protecting victims of war. We were struck by the report's findings with regard to the responsibility to protect.”

39. “Member States should undertake a thorough analysis of initiatives to establish clear conditions for humanitarian access and the use of framework agreements in that area. We cannot fail to mention the important role played by peacekeeping missions in resolving a whole set of problems related to the humanitarian component. The time has come to elaborate clear recommendations for interaction on these issues between the appropriate United Nations offices and non-State armed groups, without any commitment to recognize such groups. There can be no doubt about the urgency of increasing the regional approach. One positive example of that is the unique peacekeeping role played by the African Union.”

40. “First and foremost, it is important to implement the existing Security Council instruments on that problem, of which we have quite a number in our arsenal, particularly with regard to children and armed conflict and to women, peace and security. They have great potential, and the Council could focus on implementing its own decisions in that area, identifying and removing obstacles to their implementation. Having carefully read the report of the Secretary- General contained in document S/2005/740, we would like briefly to focus on a few points. We agree with the concern expressed about instances of restrictions on access by humanitarian personnel to populations caught up in armed conflict. The primary responsibility in that regard lies with the parties to a conflict.”

41. “Mr. Rogachev (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): In the five years since the Security Council adopted resolution 1296 (2000), much has been done to increase the level of protection of civilians, the most vulnerable population groups in armed conflict, and to ensure people's right to a peaceful life. This year in particular, we adopted resolution 1612 (2005) on the protection of children. Today, it is important to ensure the effectiveness of the work done by the monitoring and reporting mechanism and the objectivity and reliability of the information it provides . Many other tasks await us as well.”

42. “In the context of post-conflict reconstruction, we must make greater use of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women as an essential document. Moreover, we should devote greater attention to gender mainstreaming in the work of United Nations programmes and funds aimed at overcoming poverty in post-conflict situations. We are thinking in particular of strategies for enhancing women's participation in decision-making on social and economic issues and in the establishment of national frameworks for achieving the Millennium Development Goals. In conclusion, I should like to reaffirm our conviction that the issue of women's participation in peace processes will receive comprehensive and priority consideration in the bodies of the United Nations system.”

43. “In that connection, it is important that gender mainstreaming in the field not be merely a declared intention, but rather that it produce concrete results that protect and enhance the situation of women and girls in conflict and post-conflict situations. We also welcome the intention of the Secretary-General, as reflected in his report on the implementation of the summit outcome, to ensure policies of zero tolerance with regard to sexual exploitation by United Nations personnel. Bearing in mind that women are able to play and are already playing a greater role in all aspects of conflict prevention and settlement, we support the elaboration of a strategy to ensure full participation by women in peace negotiations and in elections.”

We welcome the plan's detailed identification of concrete activities that will enable us to focus the Organization's activities on implementing a system-wide strategy for dealing with problems in the area of women and peace and security.

We believe that, in the near future, gender perspectives must be given their appropriate place in the activities of the Peacebuilding Commission, whose mandate should be elaborated with a view to the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). On the whole, the centre of activities in this area should be shifted from the Security Council to specific everyday situations in international life. Of course, reliable results will be achieved only in the context of naturally developing processes.”

46. “Nevertheless, there is still much to be done. A particularly difficult situation continues to prevail on the African continent, where the status of women has become dramatic in some cases. That shows that we need to make even greater efforts to achieve the full implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), We have scarcely exhausted the resolution's potential as an important guide in defining the roles of women in conflict prevention and settlement and in post-conflict reconstruction. That is made particularly clear by States' commitment to the full and effective implementation of the resolution, as reaffirmed in the outcome document (resolution 60/1) of the 2005 summit.”

47. “Mr. Rogachev (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): In the five years since the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), we have managed to accomplish a great deal. We note with satisfaction that the range of issues under discussion today are being given greater attention not only in the Security Council, but also within the framework of the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and its functional commissions, particularly the Commission on the Status of Women. The process of gender mainstreaming is being pursued in all aspects of United Nations activities. Useful recommendations in this area were made by the High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change (A/59/565)and in the report of the Secretary-General entitled "In larger freedom: towards development, security and human rights for all" (A/59/2005).”

48. “In conclusion, we believe that the practice that has been established, of interaction between the Security Council and non-governmental organizations, is commendable and in keeping with the Council's real needs in the area of conflict prevention and settlement. The Russian delegation will help to ensure that that useful cooperation continues in its current, tested formats.”

49. “At the same time, we need to take into account the fact that information coming from NGOs may not be free of subjectivity. Without active involvement by civil society in the extremely important initial phases of post-conflict peacebuilding, in which there is a particularly high risk of relapse into conflict, it is not easy to undertake stable, long-term efforts to restore normal public life, to ensure the irreversibility of the peace process, to guarantee the establishment of political institutions and to establish or restore judicial and law-enforcement systems. We are closely following the development of an initiative aimed at a global partnership to prevent armed conflict. We are confident that that process, which is being promoted by components of civil society, will provide good support for conflict prevention efforts by States.”

50. “The comprehensive nature of threats to international peace and security requires that we develop a comprehensive strategy for conflict prevention and for the peaceful settlement of disputes. In such a strategy, we believe, a useful role could be played by civil society, together with the efforts of States and organizations. Civil society often acts as an important link between Governments and political groups of various kinds and helps to establish a dialogue between the parties to a conflict. The activities of civil society are closely intertwined with the issue of defending human rights. In many cases, relevant non-governmental organizations serve as indicators pointing to dangerous trends affecting human rights that could potentially lead to conflict situations. Therefore, those NGOs are an element of early conflict prevention.”
