1. “Finally, let me repeat the message that I delivered two years ago at the General Assembly. Everybody everywhere should have no doubt that any and all crimes against humanity will not be allowed to go unpunished. That is our common responsibility. Only then can we create a better world for posterity.”

2. “Croatia will continue to support the Tribunal, in the belief that the ICTY is serving the purpose for which it was established by the Security Council. As a member of the Security Council and as a member of NATO and a future member of the European Union, Croatia will actively support the achievement of those goals, fully aware that they will be the measure to define the Tribunal's legacy. Croatia very much appreciates and supports President Robinson's and the Tribunal's efforts to ensure the early and orderly completion of its work. The Tribunal has now entered a critical period, in which it will be necessary to begin to downsize while continuing to work on the remaining cases and on the transition towards an appropriate infrastructure that will take up the Tribunal's residual functions in the future.”

3. “We are glad that in his report (see S/2009/252) the Prosecutor confirmed Croatia's overall good cooperation with the ICTY. With regard to a single case pertaining to the delivery of documents, Croatia differs with the Prosecutor's assessment. While fully cooperating with his Office, we also note that, according to the ICTY rules of procedure, the Prosecutor is a party during the judicial proceedings. It is for that reason that, pursuant to the rules of procedure of the ICTY, Croatia has submitted to the Trial Chamber a request to confirm the fulfilment of Croatia's obligations in providing the requested documents or establishing their chain of custody. In the meantime, Croatia will continue to fully cooperate with the Prosecutor's Office.”

4. “Yet, our regret has not prevented us from looking towards the future or from rebuilding our country on the premises of respect for human dignity, the rule of law and international justice. In Croatia we made the choice to strengthen our democratic institutions, reform our judiciary and develop a State where nobody is above the law. With that belief and with our commitment to fundamental democratic values, we have succeeded in putting Croatia on the track towards development, reconciliation and progress. We have also strengthened our society internally and strengthened our position in the world. We joined NATO and became a full member of the Euro-Atlantic family of democracies. One of the conditions for achieving that goal was full cooperation with the ICTY.”

5. “We still have vivid memories of the complete destruction of Vukovar and the shelling of Dubrovnik, Osijek, Zadar, Gospie and so many other cities and towns in Croatia. We regret that some of the perpetrators of those crimes are still at large. We regret that Goran Hadiie has not yet been turned over to The Hague. We certainly regret that Ratko Mladie is still at large. He and Hadiie are responsible for the gravest crimes committed in Europe after the Second World War, namely, the massacres in Srebrenica and Vukovar. Most of all we regret that the Milosevic indictment came too late, and indeed without a sentence. His death made it impossible for a sentence to clearly outline the development of a policy that used aggression and the systematic application of war crimes.”

6. “In both our capacity as a member of the Security Council and as one of the main proponents for the establishment of the Tribunal, Croatia will continue to call for and provide full support for the fulfilment of the Tribunal's mandate and for the prosecution of persons responsible for crimes. (spoke in English) Indeed, the Tribunal is said to be the key force in a process that respects victims by providing justice - a process that, by providing justice, paves the way for a better future, one of peace, security, reconciliation, cooperation and prosperity. Croatia has gone a long way in that regard. Along that path, we have never forgotten our starting point. We still remember Ovcara and the other 142 mass graves across our country.”

7. “Allow me to begin by welcoming President Robinson and President Byron, as well as Prosecutors Brammertz and Jallow. After carefully listening to their reports, I want to reaffirm once more Croatia's firm commitment to continue with the implementation of our Constitutional Act on full cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). (spoke in French) I should like to underscore the importance that my Government and I myself attach to the work of the Tribunal, as well as the need to achieve the goals for which the Council established the Tribunal.”

I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I now give the floor to His Excellency Mr. Ali Ahmed Jama Jengeli, Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia.”

10. “Ould- Abdallah, in giving visibility to the issue and in generating more support for ongoing efforts to alleviate the negative consequences that piracy is having in that region. In conclusion, as I have already mentioned, we are fully aware that the eradication of the scourge of piracy off the coast of Somalia will require a broader and more comprehensive approach on the part of the international community by focusing on the root causes of the conflict plaguing Somalia over the past two decades. My country stands ready to contribute to further efforts by the Council to find and implement such a comprehensive approach.”

11. “That being said, I believe that we all share the view that, at this point in time, anti-piracy measures alone will not be enough. Although concrete measures need to be expeditiously agreed to in a coordinated and consistent manner, to focus only on the question of piracy without taking into account the wider picture in Somalia and the complexity of its decades-long civil conflict would be misleading. We do, however, expect that the efforts being undertaken by Member States and the regional organizations, which we fully support and highly value, in the framework of the Security Council's relevant resolutions will produce tangible results in the theatre of operations. Croatia also supports the active role of the Secretary-General, including the sustained engagement of his Special Representative for Somalia, Mr.”

12. “In this respect, we value the ideas and initiatives expressed by some delegations concerning the fact that coordination among the plethora of actors operating in the western Indian Ocean needs to be enhanced in order to better utilize the deployed resources. As a country with a long maritime tradition, Croatia has been a strong supporter and advocate for such actions by the Council, including through our co-sponsorship of all the relevant resolutions thus far, which we deem to be a solid basis for proceeding in our collective anti-piracy efforts. All of our actions have been guided by the conviction that the Council is duty-bound to find an effective mechanism for suppressing the scourge of piracy off the coast of Somalia.”

13. “The crucial role of regional organizations acting in accordance with the mandate of the Security Council is certainly reflected in the efforts undertaken by the African Union Mission in Somalia. Croatia commends the key role played by the African Union in facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance through the port of Mogadishu and contributing to the establishment of lasting peace and stability in Somalia. In this sense, we also appreciate the efforts undertaken this past week at the Nairobi conference and the constructive engagement of the countries of the region. Their cooperation is most welcome and should be further encouraged. While taking stock of what international and regional actors have done so far in countering piracy off the coast of Somalia, we also need to note that more effective coordination is still required.”

14. “Croatia is also participating in that conference in the aim of identifying the most appropriate manner to contribute to that new European Union mission. (spoke in English) I would also like to stress Croatia's support and appreciation for the prompt response of NATO, through its Operation Allied Provider, in countering piracy off the coast of Somalia and in escorting vessels that are part of the World Food Programme. As a member of the Security Council and a country acceding to NATO, Croatia welcomes the strong cooperation between the United Nations and NATO. The particular case of Somalia demonstrates the significance and importance of this form of cooperation to achieving our common goal of advancing peace throughout the world.”

15. “In building these additional efforts, I want to stress the importance of the measures already taken by the Security Council, which are reflected in resolutions 1814 (2008), 1816 (2008), 1838 (2008), 1846 (2008) and now in resolution 1851 (2008). (spoke in French) I would also like to underscore the crucial role played by the European Union in combating piracy and armed robbery. Croatia, as a future member of the European Union, welcomes and fully supports the decision taken this past week by the ministers for foreign affairs of the European Union to launch the first European naval operation along the Somali coast. While we discuss this matter here in New York, the European Union is today holding a force- generation conference in Northwood, United Kingdom, in order to ensure the successful implementation of Operation Atalanta.”

16. “We welcome the resolution we adopted today, which we believe represents added value to an already solid basis for proceeding in collective anti-piracy efforts, since it addresses many pertinent issues at the operational level that need to be improved, strengthened and further elaborated. Above all, we attach particular value to the building up of the legal framework to address the handling and prosecution of persons suspected of piracy. It is of the utmost importance that the crime of piracy, like any crime, not go unpunished. It is also important to send a deterrent message and reverse this low-risk, high-rewards trend that we have witnessed over recent months.”

17. “Furthermore, it reminds us of the devastating impact that piracy is having on the dire humanitarian situation in Somalia. The lifeline for an estimated 2.5 million people affected by drought and the food crisis in general is being cut off by the actions of pirate militias. For Croatia, this is an absolutely unacceptable situation. I am confident that I can also speak for the entire international community when I say that this is an unacceptable situation. In this respect, I am convinced that today's constructive and timely deliberations have been instrumental in bringing the international efforts to a new level of commitment and more effective coordination.”

18. “In examining these figures, we should always take into consideration that behind these statistics are real people, who are the actual victims of pirate attacks. Allow me to mention here that three Croatian citizens, from the cities of Rijeka and Dubrovnik, have been kidnapped by pirates off the coast of Somalia over the past few months. While two have been released in recent weeks, one of them is still being held hostage. The terrifying ordeal that he and his family are enduring reminds us of the suffering of many others and of the much broader implications of piracy for the safety of maritime navigation, international trade and the right of every nation to secure its development in an international framework of peace and security.”

19. “In today's discussion, we have addressed a serious problem that links various key aspects of the work of the United Nations, from humanitarian elements to the impact this problem has on international trade, and from the overall situation in one of the most troubled spots in Africa to the consequences that this instability might have on the regional and global levels. Over the past few months, we have heard some very worrisome statistics from the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Ould- Abdallah, which clearly point towards a steep increase in pirate activities off the coast of Somalia. In 2008, acts of piracy in that region have doubled in comparison with the figures from 2007. These statistics reveal that piracy and armed robbery in the western Indian Ocean have become an increasing threat.”

20. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Prime Minister of Croatia. Allow me to start by thanking Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the delegation of the United States of America for requesting this meeting on the situation in Somalia, aimed at considering further efforts that the Security Council can and should make in combating the scourge of piracy and armed robbery off the coast of Somalia. I would also like to mention the contributions of all the representatives who took the floor in this meeting. I consider their statements to be additional confirmation of the importance that we all attach to the grave situation in Somalia and the Gulf of Aden.”

33. “A well-managed effort aimed at reaching peace through a viable political process should be an integral part of our peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding strategies. However, it should not come at the expense of other values this Organization was founded to promote and protect. Without respect for justice, the rule of law, human rights and basic socio- economic concerns, hope for lasting peace will remain illusory and our action incomplete.”

34. “Recent trends give us reason to be hopeful about the Council's ability to further expand and better integrate such efforts into its strategies and actions. Still, for every success like that in Kenya, there are static situations that can dent the credibility of the United Nations and compel us to re-examine our strategies and commitments. We are encouraged by the positive signals coming from Cyprus and extend our full support to the good offices of the Special Adviser of the Secretary-General, Alexander Downer. We also deeply appreciate the continuing joint effort that the United Nations and African Union are investing in the Darfur talks. On the other hand, it is disappointing to note that after almost a year of repeated attempts to engage with Myanmar, the United Nations efforts fall short of achieving tangible results.”

35. “The joint effort of the United Nations and the African Union to bring peace to Darfur is a good example, including through the institution of the joint special envoys and the recently appointed Chief Mediator Mr. Djibrill Yipene Bassole' of Burkina Faso. As was rightly pointed out on previous occasions, their geographical proximity to and familiarity with the context of the conflict often makes regional and subregional organizations well suited to approach the parties to a conflict. We were also heartened by the success of the mediating effort led by the former Secretary-General, His Excellency Kofi Annan, under the auspices of the African Union that helped to resolve a grave political and humanitarian crisis in Kenya this year.”

Mediation in resolving the conflict in Cote d'Ivoire was one of those success stories and I would like to join others, Mr. President, in extending my appreciation for the personal effort you invested in facilitating the signature and implementation of the Ouagadougou Agreement between the Ivorian parties. With the increasing interaction between the Council and regional and subregional organizations, it is becoming evident that they offer a potential which commands the Council's attention, and needs to be further explored by the Council, not only in the field of peacekeeping, but also in the settlement of disputes.”

37. “The Department of Political Affairs (DPA) remains the centre of expertise and resources on mediation, and we welcome recent steps designed to strengthen it, including the establishment of the DPA Mediation Support Unit. The institution of special envoys and special representatives of the Secretary-General is often the primary channel for action - virtually the face of the United Nations in such situations. The complexity of their tasks requires excellent political, negotiation, leadership and management skills. In that regard, we would welcome the appointment of more women in these positions. No less important than skilled leadership is the development of local capacities for dispute resolution, a process in which civil society can play a crucial role.”

38. “Our own experience with the United Nations Transitional Authority in Eastern Slavonia (UNTAES) is a telling example of what the United Nations can accomplish within a well-defined, realistic and achievable mandate. The reintegration of that war- affected territory in eastern Croatia was a joint success, both for my country and the United Nations, and Croatia stands ready to share the expertise and know- how gained through that process. It has been rightly recognized that, in order to live up to these expectations, Council-mandated missions require not only an effective mandate, but also necessary expertise and adequate resources.”

39. “This involvement may take place on any level, from the Secretary-General himself - or some esteemed colleagues, seated at this table today - to the different United Nations departments and agencies, in particular through the mandates designed by this Council. Even in the absence of a specifically appointed individual, tasked with a mediation or good- offices mandate, through its political or military presence on the ground, the United Nations finds itself engaged in the role of a negotiator, intermediary or adviser. Today, it is difficult to find a Council- mandated mission that does not include some aspect of diplomatic, mediatory, non-coercive engagement, often through the wide-ranging executive authority of the Head of Mission.”

40. “Since the nature of contemporary conflict has changed, increasingly shifting from the inter-state to an intra-state level, the United Nations is facing a different set of expectations. As the 2004 report of the High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change (see A/59/565) noted, the demand for United Nations good offices and mediation has skyrocketed. In situations ranging from Iraq to Sudan, from Cyprus to Cote d'Ivoire, from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Zimbabwe, to mention just a few, the United Nations has been required to be instrumental not only in overcoming tensions between opponents or belligerents but also in offering solutions for transitional justice, constitution writing or designing mechanisms for wealth-sharing or human rights protection.”

41. “I am grateful to Burkina Faso for bringing us together to address an important and integral component of our common effort in maintaining international peace and security. The effectiveness of the United Nations and of this Council in particular is often measured against its ability to prevent and resolve conflicts. In achieving that goal, the Council has at its disposal an array of tools, including those mentioned prominently in Chapter VI of the United Nations Charter. As Croatia's own experience has demonstrated, mediation and the peaceful settlement of disputes are part and parcel of conflict prevention, peacemaking and post-conflict peacebuilding, and can be successfully integrated into the mandates of missions designed by the Council.”
