1. “Let me conclude by reiterating the commitment of the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania to addressing the challenges faced by women and children in conflict situations and promoting and protecting their human rights. We also wish to express our support for resolution 1889 (2009), which the Council adopted today.”

2. “We also wish to underscore that we can produce a positive impact on the lives of women and children by implementing these resolutions in tandem with the Beijing Platform for Action and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. The United Nations must set an example in its advocacy of women's participation by the appointment of more women to senior leadership positions in the Organization, including in areas dealing with conflict resolution and peacebuilding. At the grass-roots level, we need to address the causes of the lack of women's participation in peace processes, and to empower women's groups socially, politically and economically. We further recommend that Security Council members meet with local women's groups during all missions that the Council undertakes.”

3. “Furthermore, as part of the conflict-resolution and peacebuilding process, the Security Council and the Peacebuilding Commission must ensure that resources are provided to restore the rule of law and strengthen the judicial and law-enforcement systems. Mechanisms also have to be in place to take to task all those who have been involved in violations of human rights. Women's involvement is necessary to ensure the legitimacy of the decision-making process, to encourage a broad base of participation, to make sustainable peace and development possible and to protect women and girls. The implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), as well as of subsequent resolutions on women and peace and security, is a necessary tool for promoting the involvement of women.”

4. “We deeply deplore the use of sex as a weapon of war and call for concerted efforts to end impunity. We need to ensure the promotion and enjoyment of human rights for all people, and in particular women and girls living in situations of conflict. Access to education, health and other humanitarian assistance is a basic human right; we thus strongly condemn those parties to conflict who destroy schools, health facilities and humanitarian supplies, and those who prevent girls' and women's access to education. The Security Council must consider taking actions against such parties, including targeted sanctions, and must insist on people's unhindered access to humanitarian personnel and humanitarian assistance.”

5. “We are concerned that despite several measures being undertaken in response to resolution 1325 (2000), progress in implementing it is still limited, and women and girls continue to suffer the brunt of war, particularly the devastating effects of sexual and gender-based violence. It is our expectation that the appointment of a special representative of the Secretary-General, as provided for in Security Council resolution 1888 (2009), will add impetus to the United Nations work in fighting the horrendous acts of violence committed against women and girls, as well as boys. We also expect that the appointment of the special representative will not shift resources from a holistic approach to the issue of women and peace and security, one of participation, protection and prevention.”

6. “Asha Rose Migiro, for her commitment to advancing women's rights, which was affirmed in her statement this morning. We also appreciate the contributions made by Ms. Mayanja, Ms. Alberdi and Ms. Amin, as well as various other actors, in particular the Office of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women, the United Nations Development Fund for Women, the United Nations Children's Fund, the United Nations Population Fund, the World Food Programme, the World Health Organization and various non-governmental organizations for their efforts in implementing resolution 1325 (2000).”

7. “We wish to join other delegations in commending the delegation of Viet Nam, led by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, for organizing this important debate. Today's debate further attests to the need for the Security Council to continue to be seized of the challenges of protecting women and girls in conflict and post-conflict situations. We also thank the Secretary-General for his report (S/2009/465). We welcome the recommendations contained therein and call for their implementation. We also support his recommendation for a high-level ministerial event to commemorate the tenth anniversary of resolution 1325 (2000), although we would have preferred the event to be held at a higher level. Let me also at this juncture thank the Deputy Secretary-General, Ms.”

8. “Prime Minister Al-Maliki's national reconciliation plan also deserves full support. Consensus-building should include the various divergent communities and their religious leaders. We therefore look forward to the outcome of the conference on national reconciliation scheduled for 18 December. As they seek to rebuild their institutions, Iraqis will require assistance from the international community. We urge generous and timely support for that war-torn country.”

9. “Deliberate and determined efforts should be augmented to deal with the extreme violence and replace it with democracy and the rule of law, which we hope the political negotiations on the constitution will also address. We support the efforts of the Prime Minister, Nuri Al-Maliki, in his search for peace, which has included meeting key international players to seek their support and guidance. We also support the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group and welcome other ideas and contributions that can turn the current situation around. Recent pronouncements and commitments for peace on the part of the neighbouring countries in the region are an important signal that must be capitalized upon. The work towards an International Compact with Iraq is timely and deserves support from donor countries and financial institutions.”

10. “The unprecedented level of violence in Iraq is very worrying. It has resulted in many deaths and injuries, damage to property, extreme hardship and suffering. Particularly disturbing is the number of innocent civilians, including women and children, who have fallen victim. The urgency of restoring order - especially in Baghdad - cannot be overemphasized. Regional and international efforts must be enhanced to help contain the current sectarian strife in Iraq and prevent it from escalating further. The war has divided a people who were once seemingly united and has aggravated sectarian differences that had hitherto not been so divisive. We commend the Iraqi security forces, working in collaboration with the Multinational Force, for their dedication in confronting the violence. But more must be done.”

11. “Allow me to begin by thanking Mr. Qazi for his briefing and the Secretary-General for his tenth quarterly report on the activities of the United Nations in Iraq, particularly those of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) (S/2006/945). We also thank Ambassador Sanders for her update on the operations of the Multinational Force in Iraq. My delegation wishes to commend UNAMI and other United Nations agencies for their dedicated service in Iraq in a most challenging environment. We are gratified to note that they have been able to continue to provide and coordinate access to basic services, including through efforts to restore public infrastructure and to provide assistance to internally displaced persons, whose numbers have been increasing, as we heard from the Special Representative of the Secretary-General.”

12. “Both Israel and Palestine must realize that the endless violence is complicating the quest for a lasting peace in the area. They should give dialogue a chance. We also urge President Abbas and the Hamas leadership to resume their talks on the formation of a Government of national unity. We call on the international community, including the Quartet, to continue to assist the parties to return to a negotiated two-State solution, on the basis of land for peace, to end the conflict, as provided for in numerous United Nations resolutions and in the road map. In conclusion, we thank the delegation of Qatar for the draft resolution it has circulated, which we are ready to discuss with a view to its early adoption.”

13. “Tanzania again calls on the Palestinian militants to cease firing rockets against Israeli civilian targets. The current spate of violence comes at a time when there were hopes that an agreement would be reached on the formation of a Palestinian Government that could end the current stalemate and build a climate of trust in which the political process could be rekindled. The people of Gaza have not enjoyed peace in a long time, but their situation has worsened following the Israeli military assaults and the current economic paralysis. We reiterate our call for concerted and deliberate efforts to ensure that there is no further destruction of Palestinian infrastructure and property and that emergency humanitarian assistance is provided as a matter of urgency.”

14. “Israel should not use the pretext of self-defence in targeting innocent civilians. The killing of civilians, including children and women, is unjustifiable and intolerable. It is evident that Israeli military policies in the Palestinian territories have gone too far and must not be allowed to continue. The international community and the Security Council must respond. Once again, we urge Israel to cease its aggression against the Palestinians, withdraw its forces from Gaza and exercise utmost restraint, including taking every step possible to protect civilians. We have noted the Israeli Government's regret and its decision to conduct an investigation, and we look forward to its early conclusion and to appropriate action. We also support the call for an independent investigation.”

15. “Mr. President, I wish to thank you for having organized this meeting. We join others in thanking Ms. Angela Kane for her briefing, and we thank the Palestinian observer and the Israeli representative for their statements. Tanzania has been following with deep concern the disastrous course of events between Israel and its neighbours, and in particular the grave situation in northern Gaza caused by the recent major Israeli military operation. We condemn the encirclement of the town of Beit Hanoun, which resulted in many civilian casualties, including innocent women and children, which constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law. The killing yesterday morning of 19 civilians in Gaza is profoundly shocking. We offer our condolences to the families of the victims.”

16. “With regard to southern Lebanon, we are pleased to note that the situation has remained calm, enabling schools to reopen and other activities to return to normal. We welcome the efforts and contributions of all the countries that have made it possible for a return to relative peace in that area. We urge that action be taken to clear landmines, which continue to claim the lives of children in southern Lebanon. Lastly, we call for full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006).”

17. “For its part, Israel should implement its obligations under the road map, including halting the construction of the barrier in the West Bank, freezing settlement activity and allowing freedom of movement by removing checkpoints and other restrictions on movement by the Palestinians. Without the resumption of free movement, a viable Palestinian economy will not be possible. Israel should also reverse its decision to withhold customs and value-added tax payments that it collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority. The withholding of those payments, together with the withdrawal of aid by some donor Governments, has led to a serious fiscal crisis for the Palestinian Authority. It is high time to reconsider that position so as to avert a humanitarian cr1s1s.”

18. “Tanzania welcomes the commitment of President Mahmoud Abbas to peace and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's readiness to talk. We also welcome the efforts of Egyptian diplomats and other regional mediators, and we encourage them to continue. We also look forward to the conference to be held in Paris in January, as announced by the representative of France. Ordinary Israelis and Palestinians have also expressed, in many ways and on many occasions, their desire for a negotiated two-State solution as provided for in the relevant United Nations resolutions and in the road map. We believe that this is an opportune time for the Hamas-led Government to commit itself to the principles set out by the Quartet, including recognition of Israel's right to exist, and to the principle of non-violence.”

19. “Israeli air strikes on heavily populated Palestinian areas, extrajudicial killings of alleged militants, tank shelling and major ground operations have continued unabated. Israel has demolished key Palestinian infrastructure, including the only power plant. Suicide attacks by Palestinians, as well as indiscriminate rocket and mortar fire at Israel, have also continued with no end in sight. We are very concerned by the surge of intra- Palestinian violence, particularly in Gaza. The violence, coupled with the closure of key supply lines, is causing much hardship among the Palestinian people and the denial of their basic necessities, and thus constitutes a violation of their human rights. The non- payment of salaries to Palestinian workers is also contributing to their desperation and, in turn, breeds more violence.”

20. “We too wish to thank Mr. Alvaro de Soto for his briefing and for his efforts in the Middle East. The United Republic of Tanzania remains gravely concerned at the continuing violence in the occupied Palestinian territories, especially in the Gaza strip, which has resulted in the loss of many lives, including those of women and children, and the destruction of critical infrastructure. The ongoing cycle of violence and counter-violence has lead to further tension in the region, at a time when the parties in the Middle East should be searching for ways to revitalize the stalled peace process. Negotiations for a two-State solution, based on the principle of land-for-peace, must be revived. The current volatile situation in the Middle East is very disturbing.”

21. “As a long-term strategy, those resolutions should be revisited and implemented, which should include the withdrawal of Israel from all occupied territory. The resumption of negotiations based on the Quartet's Road Map is key to a lasting solution. In the short and immediate term, Hamas and Hizbollah should free the captured Israeli soldiers. For its part, Israel must settle the problem of Lebanese and Palestinian prisoners in its jails. Israel needs partners, rather than adversaries, to resolve the Middle East conflict. However slow and rocky the road may be, in the end diplomacy is a wiser and cheaper choice than war. The one-month confrontation between Israel and Hizbollah, which has resulted in enormous destruction and loss of life, has proven that point beyond any doubt.”

22. “We appeal to all those helping returnees to increase their efforts, so as to prevent further human suffering. We have noted with satisfaction that their safety is being taken into account, in particular as regards the handling of unexploded ordnance and land mines. With regard to the question of Palestine, we are very concerned about the deteriorating humanitarian situation there and the continued suffering of the Palestinian people, as described by the Under- Secretary-General. Constructive measures must be deployed to resolve the unrest in Gaza. A number of United Nations resolutions and other agreements provide a basis for a just and viable solution to the Middle East conflict, including the question of Palestine.”

23. “We are encouraged by the positive response made by countries willing to contribute to a reinforced UNIFIL by providing both troops and equipment to make it more robust and give it a multilateral character. Indeed, we expect its rapid deployment in southern Lebanon, following clarification of the remaining sensitive issues pertaining to the concept of operations, the rules of engagement and the specific mandate of the new force. Tanzania will continue to render its full support to all efforts towards a lasting ceasefire. In the humanitarian area, we commend the swift action taken to ensure that assistance reaches those in dire need as soon as possible. To enhance humanitarian operations and as a matter of urgency, the air and sea blockade over Lebanon must be lifted, so as to make available urgently needed items, in particular fuel.”

24. “We join the Secretary-General in warning against such actions and in urging both parties to display responsibility in implementing resolution 1701 (2006), including the utmost respect for the arms embargo. We note that Hizbollah has supported the resolution and has brought hostilities to an end. Notwithstanding the unfortunate incidents over the weekend, we hope that the ceasefire agreement can be translated into peace on the ground. It is thus imperative to ensure that the ceasefire continues to hold and that its implementation is verified. We welcome the Secretary-General's decision to dispatch a high-level mission to talk to the parties involved so as to secure full implementation of the resolution. We look forward to a report from that team after the completion of their mission.”

We are also grateful to the Secretary-General for his report on the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) (S/2006/670). We welcome the fact that Lebanon has moved troops across the Litani river to the south and that Israel has begun the gradual withdrawal of its forces. We believe that the rapid deployment of a strengthened United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) will assist in hastening the Israeli withdrawal. We further welcome the announcement by the Lebanese Defence Minister discouraging the firing of rockets at Israel.”

26. “Fourthly, we believe that it is not too early to begin reflecting on the mammoth task of reconstructing Lebanon. In this regard, we support the idea of organizing an international conference to consider timelines for the implementation of the Taif Agreement, together with resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1680 (2006). The conference should also focus on the delineation of the border with Israel and resolve the dispute over Sheba'a Farms. Lastly, we wish to reaffirm the need and urgency to find a lasting, comprehensive solution to the Palestinian question based on relevant United Nations resolutions and the Quartet road map.”

27. “Secondly, an immediate requirement is to bring the hostilities to an end in order to stop further loss of life and suffering. We have taken note of the proposal by Mr. Nambiar to secure some form of cessation of hostilities while working on an agreement for a ceasefire, and we rally ourselves to the idea. We also hope that Mr. Egeland's request for the establishment of corridors to Lebanon and inside Lebanon will be granted. Thirdly, with regard to the Blue Line, we strongly recommend the strengthening of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to make it more responsive and effective. UNIFIL cannot discharge its mandate in its current form, as the operative circumstances have changed. We therefore call for a more robust force with a new concept of operation and powers, if not immediately, then soon enough.”

28. “Egeland, essential supplies are running out and a huge humanitarian crisis is unfolding, which calls for an urgent response from the international community. Mr. President, since we have been discussing this issue for the past week, and in order to heed your call for short statements, we will not repeat what we said in previous meetings and will limit ourselves to a few comments. First, while calling again for maximum restraint, we believe that a plan to end the crisis can be assembled quickly. The elements proposed by the Secretary-General yesterday on practical action aimed at stemming the spiralling violence have our full support. In addition, we believe that it is extremely essential that the Security Council respond, preferably through a resolution preceded by a press statement, along the lines discussed in our previous meetings.”

29. “We thank Mr. Vij ay Nambiar and his team for the report on their mission to the Middle East. We commend the team for being able to cover much ground within a short time, and we are encouraged by their efforts, together with other diplomatic initiatives that are being undertaken to explore ways to defuse the crisis. We also thank Mr. Egeland for his update on the humanitarian crisis in Lebanon and Palestine. We are alarmed and saddened by the destruction of Lebanon and Gaza in the last 10 days, resulting in death and injury to hundreds of innocent civilians. Over half a million people have been displaced by the ongoing war, disrupting the life of the Lebanese and Palestinian people with devastating consequences. As mentioned by Mr.”

30. “To de-escalate the tension, Hamas should release the Israeli soldier. For its part, Israel should realize that military pressure only ends in counter-violence from the Palestinian side. It should therefore observe international law, exercise caution and avoid strengthening the resolve of the Hamas military wing and other military groups to continue fighting. The arrests that Israel has made of the Hamas leadership are unjustified and can only serve to increase hostilities. We believe that their release will help to reduce tension. Meanwhile, we appeal for international efforts to calm the situation and for action to avert a humanitarian crisis in the area.”

31. “As a result of the Israeli action, a large of part of overpopulated Gaza is without water, electricity and fuel - a situation likely to lead to a humanitarian disaster of unimaginable proportions. That is above and beyond the difficulties that the Palestinians are already experiencing on account of unpaid salaries and the refusal to transfer funds to pay for basic social services. We call for the immediate cessation of hostilities and for dialogue to replace military action. In that regard, we welcome the efforts of President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt to try to find a solution to the current crisis. In this very complicated political and military situation, we urge both sides to exercise maximum restraint. The use of force cannot provide a solution to this problem; on the contrary, it will aggravate it.”

32. “We thank Assistant Secretary-General Angela Kane for her update on the situation in the Middle East. Like other delegations, we are deeply troubled by the recent developments in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory. The upsurge of violence in the past three days, sparked by the abduction of an Israeli soldier by the military wing of Hamas, is deeply regrettable. It is clear that the Israeli incursion into Gaza over the kidnapping of the soldier is aimed at persuading the Palestinians to give him up. Israel has a right to defend its people, but instead of engaging in such a broad military action, it should have given dialogue a chance. The outcome of the incursion in search of the kidnapped solider is hurting the Palestinian civilian population disproportionately.”

We call on all Member States and troop- contributing countries to cooperate with the Department of Peacekeeping Operations in effectively implementing a zero-tolerance policy in all peacekeeping missions.”

We recognize that appropriate protection measures depend on the circumstances and stages of a particular conflict. At the same time, however, we must insist that regardless of circumstances, Governments, armed groups and the humanitarian community should protect each and every civilian within their jurisdiction, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion or political conviction.”

35. “Resolution 1674 (2006), adopted by the Security Council in April 2006, was an important achievement and was in line with the 2005 World Summit Outcome document. The resolution stresses the protection and assistance needs of all affected civilian populations and reaffirms the provisions of paragraphs 138 and 139 of the Outcome Document regarding the responsibility to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. It is worth stressing here the fact that appropriate measures to protect civilians threatened by armed conflict should go beyond statements of intent or expressions of concern. Meaningful and practical protection should be based on appropriate and effective action.”

We demand that all those responsible put an end to such practices. It is gratifying to see that the United Nations has consistently spared no effort to end conflicts and build sustainable peace. My delegation supports the United Nations in its endeavours to dedicate greater attention to protecting civilians in ongoing armed conflicts in Africa and in other parts of the world.”

This meeting provides another forum for us to assess the progress made by the United Nations and its organs in instilling within the international community a culture of protecting civilians in armed conflict. My delegation notes with great concern that today's armed conflicts are characterized by the active and deliberate targeting of civilians. Widespread human rights abuses and the use of rape and other crimes of sexual violence as brutal weapons of war, particularly against women and children, are causing the displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians.”

In this context, the Committee should strive to increase States' awareness of the availability of such bilateral and international assistance facilities, in the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004).”

We were gratified by the useful interventions made by the Governments of Sweden, Germany and Switzerland during the 1267 Committee meeting with a view to improving the quality of the Committee's Consolidated List. The Committee benefited as a result of the combined efforts to make the targeted sanctions more effective. We recognize the important coordination role played by the 1540 Committee in preventing the acquisition by non-State actors of weapons of mass destruction or related materials and their means of delivery. The Committee's coordination with the CTC and the 1267 Committee should be highly commended.”

Regarding the Al-Qaida and Taliban sanctions Committee, my delegation wishes to commend the Committee for courageously embarking on the process of addressing the thorny issue of listing and delisting through the revision of the Committee's guidelines. Of equal importance and concern is the lack of adequate identifiers on the Consolidated List. There is a need to expedite the ongoing exercise of refining the list.

Tanzania is encouraged by the report on how the Committees intend to work with relevant international and regional organizations with a view to helping Member States in discharging their responsibilities under other resolutions, namely, resolutions 1455 (2003), 1540 (2004) and 1624 (2005).

At the same time they have been helping reporting and non-reporting States, coordinating technical assistance to States and addressing issues that Member States have identified as important for their implementation efforts. The visit to my country by the CTED delegation, led by Mr. Javier Ruperez, from 13 to 17 February, is a case in point.

Sll'V.5446 We note in particular that the Monitoring Team of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999), the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) and the panel of experts of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) are pursuing a common approach on reporting to Member States.”

44. “Finally, we pay tribute to the High Representative and the European Union force for the good work that they are doing in Bosnia and Herzegovina and for their patience and perseverance in introducing and following up on a range of reforms designed to bring about sustainable peace and development in the country, most of which are progressing according to plan. We also recognize the important role played by the European Union, NATO and other friends and partners of Bosnia and Herzegovina in assisting the country to leave its tragic history behind and march towards prosperity.”

45. “By so doing, they are not only alienating themselves, but are obstructing progress on police reform, causing a stalemate and an unnecessary delay in building a single State in Bosnia and Herzegovina as it prepares itself to join the European Union. It is inconceivable to imagine a State with more than one police force. We thus call upon the Republika Srpska to avoid divisive policies and to join with others in Bosnia and Herzegovina to build the future of their country together. We also urge it to cooperate with the High Representative in the review of the law on salaries so as to develop a single system covering all State employees.”

46. “As pointed out in the Secretary-General's report and confirmed by Lord Paddy Ashdown, those two persons are among the most wanted fugitives still on the ICTY's list, and they still enjoy protection by the authorities of the Republika Srpska. In this regard, we urge the Republika Srpska, the neighbouring countries and the whole region to extend maximum cooperation with the ICTY so that the remaining indictees do not escape justice. We share the concerns of the Secretary-General on the lack of progress on police reform. The Serbian side is reportedly rejecting the fundamental principles, endorsed by the European Union, on which the reform is based, including the abolition of the Republika Srpska police.”

47. “We are also impressed by the achievements of the European Union peacekeeping force in implementing its mandate after successfully taking over from the NATO force. It is encouraging to note that the defence reform is proceeding well. My delegation is also encouraged by the steps taken by the authorities of the Republika Srpska in surrendering, for the first time, several indictees to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) at The Hague. However, we are disappointed by their lack of full cooperation with the ICTY, which lack continues to ensure the freedom of its most wanted indictees, Karadzic and Mladic.”

48. “My delegation expresses its appreciation to Lord Paddy Ashdown, High Representative for the Implementation of the Peace Agreement on Bosnia and Herzegovina, for his update on the situation in that country and for his written report, which is before us. We pay tribute to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the remarkable progress that they have made towards integration into the European Union. As we have just heard from Lord Ashdown, it is almost the tenth anniversary of the Dayton Agreement. We welcome the positive developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly the reforms designed to improve the business environment and regulate the fiscal system so as to increase economic stability.”
