  1. “"In conclusion, allow me to commend the Government and all the national stakeholders for their constructive engagement in the implementation of the Strategic Framework and the first biannual review meeting. Let me also use this occasion to thank the United Nations Integrated Office in Burundi (BINUB) for assisting the Peacebuilding Commission and the Government of Burundi so ably in this regard. The integrated structure of BINUB and the strategic leadership of the Executive Representative of the Secretary-General will continue to be important for effective United Nations support for peacebuilding in Burundi."”

  2. “"Sweden, together with the other members of the Peacebuilding Commission Burundi configuration, will continue to build on the excellent initiatives undertaken by the previous Chair, Norway, under the untiring leadership of Ambassador Johan Lovald. We look forward to further interactions with the Security Council and other relevant actors, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, on the developments in Burundi. In preparation for the next biannual review of the Strategic Framework, we will continue to hold thematic meetings, including a planned meeting to discuss the preparations for the elections in 2010. I also hope to Visit Burundi in the near future to gain first- hand perspectives and establish constructive working relations with the Government of Burundi and other key stakeholders.”

  3. “The international community must continue to support the Regional Initiative, the South African Facilitation, the Political Directorate and the Group of Special Envoys for Burundi in their efforts to assist the 08-49051 Government and the PALIPEHUTU-FNL in implementing the Ceasefire Agreement. "The successful implementation of the Comprehensive Ceasefire Agreement would constitute a vital step towards peace consolidation that would enable Burundi and its partners to focus on other critical challenges, including combating poverty, security sector reform, good governance, democratic consolidation and the fight against impunity. The Peacebuilding Commission will continue to support the Government of Burundi in mobilizing adequate resources to meet those challenges.”

  4. “"The biannual review meeting stressed the importance of the implementation of the 2006 Ceasefire Agreement between the Government and the PALIPEHUTU-FNL in accordance with the timeframes outlined in the revised programme of action to take forward the Burundi peace process. The return of the PALIPEHUTU-FNL leader, Mr. Agathon Rwasa, to Bujumbura, the signing of the Magaliesburg agreement on ll June 2008 and the meeting between President Nkurunziza and Mr. Rwasa on 18 August are important steps forward in the peace process. That positive momentum must be seized upon, and every effort should be made to finalize the implementation of the Ceasefire Agreement by the end of 2008, well in advance of the 2010 elections, in order to avoid the convergence of those two critical processes.”

  5. “In that regard, I am happy to note the 18 June presidential decree establishing a permanent national independent electoral commission. I would also like to encourage the Government of Burundi to consider soliciting support from the international community, including the United Nations, in the preparation and conduct of the next elections. "In the past few weeks, the Government of Burundi has demonstrated a commitment to follow up on those recommendations. The Peacebuilding Commission stands ready to provide continued support to the Government and all other stakeholders for the 2010 elections, including by supporting the development of a road map for their preparation.”

  6. “The biannual review recommended that the revised draft legal framework for the elections reflecting Burundi's political reality should be presented to the National Assembly by December 2008. The Peacebuilding Commission also called on all political parties to promote 08-4905] constructive dialogue, to adhere to the electoral code of conduct and to respect the democratic principles enshrined in the constitution. In that regard, we welcome the resumption of work at the level of the National Assembly. "The review meeting also stressed that the establishment of the national independent electoral commission was essential for the preparations for the elections, and recommended that the commission should be operational by the first half of 2009.”

  7. “Drawing on a comprehensive progress report, that landmark meeting resulted in concrete recommendations to all the relevant stakeholders on a number of issues, such as the implementation of the Comprehensive Ceasefire Agreement between the Government of Burundi and the PALIPEHUTU-Forces nationales de liberation (FNL), security, justice and the promotion of the rule of law, land reform, socio- economic recovery and the gender dimensions of peacebuilding. "In the area of good governance, the biannual review focused on creating the conditions for free and fair elections in 2010. Those elections representamilestone in the consolidation of democracy and peace in Burundi.”

  8. “At the same time, the peace process continues to face significant challenges, which require national stakeholders to show willingness to compromise and which illustrate the need for coordinated and robust additional support from regional actors and the international community. "On 23 June, the Peacebuilding Commission and the Government of Burundi undertook the first biannual review of the Strategic Framework for Peacebuilding.”

  9. “Ms. Striim: As you said, Mr. President, I shall deliver a briefing on behalf of my Permanent 2 Representative, who unfortunately is not here because he is attending the annual ambassadorial meeting in Stockholm. I shall now read out his statement. "I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for this opportunity to participate in today's meeting on Burundi in my capacity as the Chair of the Burundi country-specific configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission.

"Since the last Peacebuilding Commission briefing on Burundi to the Council, on 22 May 2008 (see S/PV.5897), there have been a number of positive developments, including the cessation of hostilities.”
