That may affect the independence of Kosovo in the long term. Therefore, we call on all parties to exert further efforts towards co-existence and harmony and keeping open the channels of constructive dialogue and cooperation and to avoid confrontation and violence.

In that regard, we welcome the acceptance by the Serbian authorities and Kosovo Serbs of the deployment of the European Union Rule of Law Mission. Also, we commend the reconfiguration of UNMIK and the uneventful deployment of the European peace mission, and we hope that all parties will continue their cooperation with the European mission in coordination with UNMIK, in accordance with the presidential statement of the Security Council of 26 November 2008 (S/PRST/2008/44).”

We also believe that the lack of stability and the security situation must not be used as an excuse to oppose the deployment of a United Nations force in Somalia: United Nations experience shows that deploying United Nations forces to unstable areas has proved to be effective in the past. Once again, my country's delegation reaffirms its commitment to work towards national reconciliation in Somalia and we assure His Excellency the Foreign Minister - who has informed me that President Sharif may arrive in Libya tomorrow or the day after - that we are in contact with all parties and factions.”

25. “Combating piracy therefore requires a multidimensional approach based on a political dialogue among all parties, stemming from the Djibouti process and backed by a peacekeeping mission and efforts to revive State institutions and build capacity, in particular relating to law enforcement. In that regard, we encourage cooperation among States, international organizations and United Nations bodies within the context of international law to combat piracy and we support considering the formulation of a national and regional legal framework to facilitate the arrest and trial of those suspected of committing acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea.”

On this occasion, I wish to commend the World Food Programme and its personnel for their courage and for their decision to continue providing humanitarian aid in the southern and central areas of Somalia despite the difficult conditions. On another front, with regard to the encouraging response of the international community in combating piracy off the Somalian coast, we think that piracy is a natural response to the unstable situation in Somalia and cannot be addressed in isolation from the political situation in the country.”

27. “will help to apply United Nations criteria with regard to the participating troops. The security situation in Somalia is of great concern despite the fact that no major combat operations have taken place since the withdrawal of the Ethiopian forces. The AU Mission has been targeted by repeated attacks, and armed groups still control several areas of the country. That has had a negative impact on the human rights situation and humanitarian conditions. On the humanitarian front, the continued deterioration of humanitarian conditions in Somalia continues to be of concern. Over 3 million people require humanitarian aid, and the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) continues to increase.”

My delegation welcomes the completion of Ethiopia's full withdrawal from Somalia. We are grateful for the commitment of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) to continue working under difficult conditions. We urge African Union (AU) member States that have pledged to contribute troops to make the necessary arrangements to deploy them without delay. We also call upon the international community to provide the resources to enable those States to contribute troops to AMISOM. We hope that the United Nations logistical support package for AMISOM.”

29. “The parliament was expanded, followed by the election of Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed as the new President of the country. A Prime Minister was appointed and a Government was then formed and endorsed by parliament. Those are all positive indicators of the parties' commitment to the national reconciliation process under the Djibouti agreement. Dialogue among all parties to the conflict in Somalia and the abandonment of policies of exclusion are the only path to a permanent political settlement. We believe that the desire of President Sharif to communicate with all parties that oppose the Djibouti process, with whatever their various political Views, is a first step in the right direction.”

I also wish to thank our brother Mohamed Abdullahi Omaar, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Somalia, for his presence and for the information he provided to us today on the situation in Somalia. I also express our thanks to Mr. Ramtane Lamamra, Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union, for his valuable briefing.

In view of the fact that the African Union is an important partner of the United Nations in the peace process in Somalia and that it has a peacekeeping mission there, and since the Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union, Mr. Ramtane Lamamra, is with us today, he will be given the floor under rule 39 of the provisional rules of procedure. The information he will be presenting to us is complementary to what the representative of the Secretary-General and the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Somalia have provided. I therefore propose that we give the floor to Mr. Lamamra to make a statement before members of the Council.

My delegation welcomes the progress that has been made in bilateral cooperation between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and we affirm the need to strengthen that cooperation, because of the historical, demographic and economic ties between the two countries. Finally, Libya supports the Secretary-General's recommendation to extend the mandate of UNAMA and strengthen its role in coordinating international efforts, as well as to guarantee it sufficient resources and financing to enable it to establish regional offices to bolster its activities, especially in the fields of governance, justice and human rights.

41. “The March 2008 report of the Secretary-General (S/2008/159) outlines human rights violations and instances of torture and abuse of detainees. It notes allegations of prolonged and arbitrary detention in places of detention run by international military forces and indicates that UNAMA was unable to assess those allegations. The report before us today makes no mention of any progress in that regard; rather, it notes that detention centres and prisons are in a serious state of neglect. My delegation wishes therefore to indicate its concern about the state of prisons in Afghanistan and to call for respect for human rights, international law and international human rights law. Some progress has been made in a number of areas, including with respect to mine clearance, counter-narcotics and preparations for the upcoming elections.”

42. “We reaffirm our conviction that this trend, if it continues, will not help establish peace, security or stability. It can only fuel animosity among Afghan citizens and will ultimately serve the interests of the opponents of the Government. Libya expresses its deep concern over the food crisis that the Afghan people could face as a result of drought, as well as over rising food prices. We fear that the world financial crisis could exacerbate the food crisis in Afghanistan. We deeply regret the inadequate response to the $404 million appeal issued by the Vice- President of Afghanistan and the United Nations to address the crisis. We hope that the Afghanistan National Development Strategy will soon be implemented, and we hope that donors will fulfil the pledges they made at the 12 June 2008 Paris Conference.”

43. “Combating extremism is not a goal in itself, especially because the use of force by itself will not bring about stability and security; it must be bolstered by a parallel dialogue aimed at achieving national reconciliation among all sectors of the Afghan people willing to engage in dialogue and accept the national constitution as a basis for governance. My delegation remains gravely concerned about the killing of civilians in defiance of all the appeals and statements issued by Afghan authorities, by the United Nations and by other international bodies and organizations. In that context, we note that paragraph 66 of the report speaks of an increase in civilian casualties of 40 per cent over the figures for 2007. Thirty-nine per cent of these were caused by international and national Afghan forces.”

44. “That requires a strong international commitment to support Afghanistan's development strategy. Paragraph 23 of the report informs us that insurgents continued to expand their presence in previously stable areas. This is combined with the deteriorating security situation, the poor economic situation and the spread of unemployment and corruption. The situation demands a solution based on a comprehensive approach to addressing all of those problems. The international community's ultimate goal must be to help the Afghan people build a democratic, stable and prosperous State.”

45. “The report reaches the logical conclusion that the situation in Afghanistan cannot be addressed by military means alone, and it affirms the need for a political process based on comprehensive national reconciliation, as called for by President Karzai and, previously, by the country's legislature and most other Afghan leaders. It is important that this political process be accompanied by a parallel effort in the sphere of development, with a view to creating economic and social conditions that can provide a dignified life for all Afghans and that will not compel them to turn to illegal livelihoods such as drug trafficking. This would put an end to corruption and extremism and enable the Afghan Government to regain the people's trust in its ability to meet their needs.”

46. “It is regrettable that, despite all the tragedies suffered by Afghanistan due to the civil war that raged for six years between 1990 and 1996, the Security Council took no action and adopted no resolutions attempting to put an end to the war and the fighting there. Paragraph 2 of the report of the Secretary- General tells us that the situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating. The report gives several reasons for that, the most important among them being the lack of security and the fact that the results of Government and international assistance efforts have fallen short of the Afghan people's expectations.”

I wish also to welcome the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan. I commend the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), under Mr. Eide's leadership, for its efforts and excellent performance with the purpose of rebuilding that sisterly country despite all the security challenges the Mission faces. Most of what is taking place in Afghanistan today is the responsibility of the international community, which neglected Afghanistan after the cold war.”
