  1. “I hope this new resolution will reinvigorate global and regional partnerships that are working to prevent conflict, ensure security and build peace. These partnerships can ensure that the United Nations contributes to building government and civil society capacities of Member States. There are symbiotic actions in the General Assembly to ensure that this happens. We are acutely aware that global, national and personal insecurity will undermine our efforts to achieve universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support. This new resolution is key to realizing exactly what the Secretary-General just mentioned: zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths.”

  2. “The Department of Peacekeeping Operations, in close collaboration with UNAIDS, wishes to work with Member States on disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and on security sector reform. That will allow countries to benefit from peacekeepers who are stronger, healthy and fit for even the most difficult peacekeeping missions. (spoke in English) Since the adoption of resolution 1308 (2000), we have come to understand that peacekeepers and the millions of people in uniform can play a leading role in HIV issues, as they secure peace around the world. Their extensive contacts with populations in conflict, post-conflict and other settings position them as agents of positive change, particularly with respect to preventing violence against women and girls in conflict.”

  3. “It is my hope that the new resolution will motivate all parties concerned to better empower women and strengthen the capacities of national health systems and civil society networks in order to provide sustainable assistance to women infected or affected by HIV in conflict and post-conflict settings. The response to AIDS has also changed dramatically since the adoption of resolution 1308 (2000). Today we have the capacity to provide treatment on a broad scale and to target prevention to populations at highest risk of HIV infection. We have seen that post-conflict and transition periods increase the risk of HIV transmission and of sexual violence. We know how to address both of those challenges. We have made progress and must now scale up those efforts.”

  4. “In so doing, Member States will themselves be encouraged to strengthen their response to AIDS in national strategic plans and to put in place appropriate strategies, means and resources. Tragically, we have seen an increase in the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. This new resolution is moving in the right direction in calling for HIV prevention efforts among uniformed services to be aligned with efforts to prevent sexual violence in conflict. The disproportionate burden of HIV on women is a serious obstacle to their full participation in efforts to prevent and resolve conflicts and in peacebuilding.”

  5. “What he said then still holds true today, namely, that it was not the end of the process, but just a cornerstone for the future. Member States were right to recognize AIDS as a potential threat to peace and security. I want to thank the Secretary-General for repeatedly calling attention to AIDS in his reports to the Security Council. Progress against HIV infection in people in uniform has been positive, but it remains uneven and insufficient. The risk that HIV poses to peace and security is far more nuanced than we thought in 2000. The nature of conflict and the epidemic itself have evolved. We are convinced that the fresh political commitments stemming from resolution 1983 (2011) will enable the United Nations to effectively contribute to the efforts of Member States to address the impact of AIDS on peace and security.”

  6. “The Security Council adopted resolution 1308 (2000) more than 10 years ago, and the General Assembly adopted the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS in 2001. We have made significant progress since then, providing HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services to peacekeepers and other uniformed personnel. But I remain deeply concerned by the ways AIDS still intersects with conflict. AIDS affects not only peacekeepers and others in uniform; it also has an impact on the populations with whom they interact. That is why resolution 1983 (2011), which has just been adopted, is so important to us. Resolution 1308 (2000) was a watershed moment in the response to AIDS. We are indebted to the late Richard Holbrooke for backing that resolution so passionately.”

  7. “It is an honour and privilege to be here today. I would like to thank the Security Council for inviting me. I would especially like to thank the President of the Republic of Gabon and to commend him for his leadership in dramatically scaling up the response to AIDS in his own country. On behalf of the 30 million people who have died of AIDS, I also wish to thank him for being here today. His presence among us illustrates his personal commitment to this cause and his ongoing efforts on behalf of peace, security and stability throughout the world. I would also like to thank my friend Alain Le Roy, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, for once again drawing the attention of the Security Council to the critical relationship between AIDS and international peace and security. The global response to AIDS is at a crossroads.”

  8. “We welcome the holding of a meeting, in the margins of the General Assembly's general debate, of the representatives of the "six plus two" group, and we urge all parties to abide by the principles of international law and international humanitarian law following the capture by the Northern Alliance of Mazar-e-Sharif and the fall of Kabul. In conclusion, I would stress the role that the Secretary-General and his Special Representative continue to play in Afghanistan. We encourage and fully support all of the efforts under way to find a positive outcome to the Afghan conflict. Mali reiterates its strong support for any initiative to settle the crisis that would reflect the higher interests of the Afghan people.”

  9. “It is crucial that the territorial integrity of Afghanistan be preserved and that the key element of this plan be the Afghan people, who have the right to live freely and with dignity. The international community should seek to set up a broad- based Government, one that is multi-ethnic and fully representative of the Afghan people. Accordingly, Mali welcomes the talks that Mr. Brahimi has had with the authorities of Pakistan, Afghan leaders living in Pakistan, Iranian authorities and other leaders of the region in order to find a consensus solution to the conflict.”

  10. “We encourage all those who have contributed so generously to the United Nations relief fund to speed up disbursement of their pledges. In this respect, the international community should live up to its promises made at the beginning of the conflict, whereby the Afghan people would not become a target of war and that they would not be forgotten. My second comment has to do with the political situation. Mali believes that the United Nations has a decisive role to play, particularly by facilitating the transition from war to peace and by assisting the Afghan people to participate actively in a broad-based dialogue at the end of which an overall political plan could be worked out and executed.”

  11. “We thank the Governments that have agreed to keep open the roads through which relief is delivered, and we appeal to Member States to come to the assistance of these countries so that they can deal with the constant flow of Afghan refugees. In this context, we think that the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs should continue to play an important role in coordinating emergency relief assistance for Afghanistan. We also congratulate the humanitarian organizations for the outstanding work they have done, and we encourage them to continue their efforts for the Afghan people within the country and in neighbouring countries. To this end, we think it is imperative to ensure the security of the personnel of humanitarian organizations.”

  12. “As indicated by the Special Representative, this situation requires sustained efforts on the part of the international community. We believe that everything should be done to enable the quick delivery of food aid within Afghanistan and that it should be distributed to Afghans within Afghanistan and in neighbouring countries. The fate of the most vulnerable groups of people in Afghanistan, particularly women, children and the elderly, should be given special attention. Likewise, it is crucial to give special attention to the plight of refugees in neighbouring countries, particularly in Pakistan and Iran.”

  13. “Mr. Sidibe (Mali) (spoke in French): Mr. President, it is a pleasure for the delegation of Mali to see the Security Council meeting under your presidency to consider the situation in Afghanistan. I wish to welcome the presence of Secretary-General Kofi Annan and to thank him for his important statement at this important meeting of the Council. Our thanks go also to Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan. We are grateful for his high-quality briefing this morning, which contained a clear concept and vision. It was very useful. I would now like to make the following comments. First, like other delegations, we too are concerned by the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.”

  14. “In so doing, African leaders clearly expressed their conviction and resolve concerning the need to make Africa a continent free from any act of terrorism and any support for terrorism of any kind. In this context, my country reaffirms its full recognition of the urgent need to convene, under United Nations auspices, an international conference on terrorism as soon as possible. In conclusion, I should like to stress that my country, convinced of the relevance of today's meeting, will vote in favour of the draft resolution before us, believing that it makes a complementary political contribution to measures already adopted by the Security Council.”

  15. “My Government has already taken, and will continue to take, all steps necessary to implement these important measures. At the level of Africa, my country welcomes the holding in Dakar on 17 October 2001 of the African meeting against terrorism, which culminated in the adoption of the Dakar Declaration, recommending, among other things, the rapid signing and entry into force of the Convention of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) on terrorism. In this regard, I would like to recall that my country has just ratified that convention, as it has all United Nations conventions. I would also like to note that the Central Organ for conflict management of the OAU met here yesterday for a ministerial-level meeting and issued a number of recommendations to strengthen Africa's resolve and capacity to combat terrorism.”

  16. “This will be a long-term undertaking requiring enhanced international cooperation in the framework of a concerted global strategy. Such a strategy under the auspices of the United Nations involves the signing and ratifying of existing legal instruments, as well as assistance to developing countries in order to enhance their national capacity to combat international terrorism. In this regard, Mali reaffirms its full support for Security Council resolution 1373 (2001), which marks an important step in the international community's awareness in the struggle to combat terrorism. The Council has also placed front and centre the urgent need for cooperation among States to combat terrorism and defeat the networks of terrorist movements the world over by denying them havens and financial and logistical support.”

  17. “Mali reiterates its firm condemnation of all forms of terrorism, whether perpetrated by individuals, groups or States. We believe that terrorist acts targeting innocent individuals are criminal because they violate human rights and the sovereignty and integrity of States and are contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations. My Government takes the view that we need to arrive as soon as possible at a precise definition of international terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. In this regard, we welcome the substantial progress made in the General Assembly on the elaboration of a comprehensive convention on terrorism to fill the gaps in the existing framework of international law. Combating terrorism also requires us to tackle everything that feeds terrorism, such as poverty and regional conflicts.”

  18. “I would also like to take this opportunity to reaffirm that the Government of Mali firmly condemns the base acts of terrorism that have plunged the United States into grief, and to reiterate the solidarity of the Government and the people of Mali with the Government and the people of the United States. I would also like to reaffirm our determination to combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. The events of 11 September, beyond their tragic nature, amply remind us of the vulnerability of the current international system. In fact, no State seems to be safe from the scourge of terrorism. That is who it is now more necessary than ever for all of us to work together constructively, resolutely and on the basis of consensus to deal with this threat.”

  19. “Mr. Sidibe (Mali) (spoke in French): I would like to join my colleagues in conveying the sympathy and condolences of the Government of Mali to the families of the victims of the tragic aeroplane crash this morning. Mali welcomes our examination of the important question of threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts in today's formal meeting of the Council under your leadership, Mr. Minister. My delegation is grateful to the Jamaican delegation, in particular to Ambassador Patricia Durrant, for taking the initiative of convening such a meeting, which enables us to further the open exchange of views on this subject. I would like to welcome the presence of the Secretary-General as well as his important statement, which affirms the clear resolve of the United Nations to wage the battle against terrorism.”
