  1. “President, for convening this important and timely meeting. We look forward to further discussion on the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) in the future.”

  2. “For example, the United States would be interested in hearing the views of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations on its progress in mainstreaming gender perspectives in peacekeeping operations and on the challenges it faces in promoting more gender diversity among the peacekeeping operations staff. We enthusiastically support an increase in gender diversity in peacekeeping operations, and the appointment of more women as special representatives of the Secretary-General and as special envoys, and we have provided the names of qualified women candidates to the Secretary-General for that purpose. Finally, I will just note that my delegation always has questions regarding the budget implications of some of the report's recommendations, which we will raise at the appropriate opportunity. Thank you again, Mr.”

  3. “My Government supports the Secretary-General's recommendation set forth in the report that data collected in research, assessments and appraisals on peace operations be disaggregated by sex and age, and that specific data on the situation of women and girls be provided. That data will inform future planning and operations. But we should not ignore the wealth of data already available to us, which will enable us to begin the integration process now. We hope there will be an opportunity at a later date to discuss in depth some of the issues raised in the report and to begin to look at ways of prioritizing action on the various recommendations.”

  4. “But reports provide the supporting data that the Secretary-General, the Council, the Secretariat and Member States contributing to peace operations can use to integrate gender perspectives into all peace-building, peacekeeping and peacemaking efforts. Reports can help us to determine the best way to achieve our goals in three specific areas: to improve the lives of women and girls who are victims of armed conflict; to ensure that women and girls who have been combatants are eligible for the same assistance as men; and finally, to involve women increasingly as actors, at the grass- roots level, in peacekeeping missions and at the planning and decision-making levels at United Nations Headquarters.”

  5. “Additionally, establishment by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) of gender units and gender adviser positions in missions such as the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor, the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo, the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone has made a difference on the ground in the lives of women and girls affected by armed conflict. We commend the efforts of DPKO, troop-contributing countries and Council members towards implementing resolution 1325 (2000). However, much more remains to be done. I know that we are in agreement that reports and discussions about the situation of women and girls in armed conflict are just a beginning.”

  6. “The report and the study from which it is drawn provide documentation concerning women both as victims and as actors that cannot, in the twenty-first century, be ignored. We also thank Carolyn Hannan, Director of the Division for the Advancement of Women, which produced this report, and acknowledge Noeleen Heyzer, Executive Director of the United Nations Development Fund for Women, whose parallel report will be released in the next few days. Since the adoption of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000), the United Nations, Member States and the international community have made significant progress in responding to the particular needs of women in times of conflict. The Council has recognized and supported the informal peace initiatives of women's groups and networks.”

  7. “We welcome the opportunity to participate in this discussion on women and peace and security. It has been nearly two years to the day since the passage of the landmark Security Council resolution 1325 (2000), and we are pleased that the Council has maintained a focus on tracking its implementation. We welcome the completion of the Secretary- General's report on women, peace and security (S/2002/1154), which provides a thoughtful analysis of the challenges confronting women and girls during armed conflict and which offers a number of useful recommendations on ways the international community can help address them. We thank the Secretary-General for presenting this report to us personally and for sharing with us his goals for implementation of the report's recommendations.”

  8. “I regret that this meeting should end on a note of discord. Let me just say that I certainly agree with what was just said about the importance and usefulness of this meeting. But I must also say that we stand by the observation that Ambassador Negroponte made earlier concerning the lack of balance in addressing the effect on women of one particular conflict, along with the statement of concern regarding what is in fact a case of non- implementation, on the part of one Government represented here, of provisions of an important Security Council resolution: resolution 1373 (2001).”

  9. “We call on the new Government to rise to the challenge before it and to work constructively with all people of Kosovo to build a secure, democratic and prosperous future for all its residents.”

  10. “There is no room in Kosovo's future for those from any ethnic group who would support violence and criminality or work in any way to undermine the rule of law and the will of the people. Today we should direct our remarks to the people of Kosovo, who should be congratulated, and to their elected leaders, who face the challenge of delivering good governance. Prosperity will not be sustainable without difficult economic reforms and strict respect for transparency and the rule of law. Declarations on Kosovo's future status are not the answer. The Council and the Special Representative of the Secretary- General have established the rules of the game and expressed their unwavering support for resolution 1244 (1999) in its entirety.”

  11. “He has established a framework for democratic and multi-ethnic governance consistent with resolution 1244 (1999). He has improved security, enhanced the rule of law and laid the foundation for a constructive relationship between the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo and the Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which played a constructive role in encouraging full participation in the voting on 17 November. We welcome the efforts of the Coordination Centre and of the Yugoslav and Serbian Governments to help ensure that Kosovo Serbs are represented by competent leaders committed to the multi-ethnic democratic model set forth by this Council.”

  12. “We also would like to thank Mr. Annabi for his briefing, and to congratulate the Special Representative, Mr. Hans Haekkerup, and the Head of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Mission in Kosovo, Mr. Daan Everts, on their success in organizing Kosovo's first general elections. By all accounts, the voting was free and fair and generally devoid of the violence that has plagued the region during the last decade. We are encouraged that Kosovo Serbs and other minorities opted to participate in choosing their Government. This is not a moment for long speeches about what has been done up to now. The United States has repeatedly expressed its strong support for Special Representative Haekkerup's unceasing efforts to implement resolution 1244 (1999). In many respects, the results of the elections are a testimony to his success.”

  13. “It went to save lives - African lives, Muslim lives, human lives - an imperative that remains central to all our efforts. The sabotage of the peacekeeping mission was not done by the people of Somalia, nor was it done for the people of Somalia. I want to assure the Council that my Government remains deeply committed to and concerned about the plight of our friends, the people of Somalia. We look forward to additional discussions on this issue.”

  14. “It is not for the United States Government, the Security Council or any other outside power to determine who is the legitimate representative of the Somali people. The United States will support Somali leaders, organizations and individuals who are committed to peaceful political reconciliation and the rule of law. A critical mass of Somalis determined to work together in peace and democracy to rebuild their shattered country is the only legitimizing force that means anything. Our responsibility as the Security Council and as individual member States is to figure out how we can support the coming together of that critical mass. The tragic conditions that originally spurred us to action in Somalia still exist. When the United Nations peacekeeping mission went into Somalia, it did not seek to conquer or occupy.”

  15. “Even as we have this discussion, we will continue to work with the Secretariat and with our partners to identify programmes that can be undertaken for the benefit of the Somali people, within acceptable risks. We should not set the bar so high that nothing can be done inside Somalia; rather, we must do what we can in current conditions. At the same time, we must all do what we can to improve the situation. We believe that the people of Somalia control their own political destiny. A future expansion of the United Nations presence in Somalia, however important, cannot substitute for the will of the Somali people to reclaim their country from chaos. The search for political legitimacy must proceed inside Somalia, and it must go Somali by Somali. In our view, no single group has yet succeeded in achieving that legitimacy.”

  16. “We welcome further discussion of the feasibility and utility of such a grouping and look forward to our own active engagement in this regard. We also note the Secretary-General's conclusion that the current security situation in Somalia precludes the establishment of a peace-building office at this time. The key phrase is "at this time". We have complete confidence that the Secretariat will balance its deep concern for the welfare of the Somali people with its equally deep concern for the safety of United Nations personnel in gauging the feasibility of such an office. The message to those who wish to see an expanded United Nations presence is that that their advocacy efforts need to be focused on Somalia, not on New York.”

  17. “We would like to welcome our Somali friends, Prime Minister Ali Khalif Galaydh and other members of the transitional Government back to the Security Council, and express to them our desire to work with all Somalis of goodwill on the difficult but necessary task of rebuilding their country. We thank them for the update on developments in their country and note in particular Prime Minister Galaydh's words with regard to the implementation of our common struggle against terrorism. We also thank the Secretary-General for his recent report on Somalia and share his concern about the suffering of the Somali people. We should also like to note our appreciation for Mr. Stephen's introduction of that report. We have heard reference to the suggestion of establishing a friends of Somalia group here this morning and in our informal consultations.”
