1. “Notably, the United Nations is making a valuable contribution to stability in the Middle East through the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon. We appeal once again to all of the parties to cooperate fully with those Forces. The year that is coming to an end has seen some progress in the resolution of major crises in the region. However, many challenges remain. Primarily with respect to the Palestinian question, we express the wish that 2009 will keep the spirit of Annapolis alive with the objective of creating a Palestinian State living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security.”

2. “We urge the parties, in particular, to overcome their differences in order to prepare the legislative elections of May 2009 in a peaceful manner. At the same time, improving relations between Lebanon and its neighbours would help to strengthen peace and stability in the country and throughout the region. For that reason, we welcome and encourage the initiatives undertaken in that respect. We urge Israel and Syria to become part of that same process in order to ensure the success of the indirect negotiations undertaken under the auspices of Turkey. The countries of the region are destined to live together and must therefore take the necessary measures to facilitate a coexistence that would guarantee peace and security for each and for all. In that respect, the role of the United Nations will remain crucial.”

3. “Along with the Annapolis agreements, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Quartet Road Map, there is now a framework for the process and a means to achieve the goals. The commitment of each of the parties is well known and their responsibilities are known as well, especially when it comes to strengthening mutual trust. For its part, the international community must support them decisively and continue its efforts for the socio-economic development of Palestine, including by strengthening its institutional capacities and providing assistance to Palestinian refugees and to the population of Gaza. In the regional sphere, we welcome the general calm currently prevailing in Lebanon as a result of the efforts of the Lebanese people and parties. It will continue and gain in strength so long as the Doha Accord is fully applied.”

4. “Mr. Tiendrebeogo (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): I, too, would like to thank Mr. Serry for his briefing. My delegation is also grateful to the representatives of Palestine and Israel for their contributions. Only two days ago, the Security Council adopted resolution 1850 (2008) on the situation in the Middle East. That important resolution invites the parties to continue negotiations within the framework of the Annapolis process, but it can achieve its objectives only with the decisive involvement of the parties and the international community. With resolve and determination, Israelis and Palestinians can succeed in achieving peaceful coexistence and comprehensive peace, having been able to maintain regular contact during 2008.”

5. “In the belief that justice and the search for international peace and security are shared responsibilities, Burkina Faso reaffirms its commitment and its readiness to make its contribution to combating impunity and we to support all efforts being undertaken to that end.”

6. “We appeal to all other States, in particular those in the subregions involved, to cooperate actively with the Tribunals, particularly in the pursuit and arrest of fugitives. We encourage both Tribunals to continue with their completion strategies, bearing in mind the time factor. At this point, there should be consideration of referring cases to national jurisdictions and stepping up efforts to locate fugitives. In conclusion, my delegation would like to urge the international community to continue supporting the work of these two Tribunals. The Security Council in particular must give them all the support they need to complete their work.”

7. “With regard to the question of the timeframe for completion, which is closely linked to progress being made in trials under way and the volume of work to come, Burkina Faso is of the view that the Security Council, through the Working Group on international tribunals, should be realistic and flexible because, in practice, it will be impossible to meet the deadlines set in Security Council resolution 1534 (2004). With regard to the matter of cooperation with the Tribunals, including in the pursuit and arrest of fugitives, we commend those States which have shown themselves willing to assist the Tribunals pursuant to resolution 1534 (2004). We welcome the agreements the Tribunals have been able reach with certain States, specifically with regard to the respect of sentences and protection of witnesses.”

8. “This single example demonstrates clearly the significant challenges awaiting these two institutions, which share the same Appeals Chamber, in light of the timeframes they have been assigned to complete their work. Given such an outlook, in order to enable the ICTR to continue with its current level of activity, my delegation reiterates its support for the three-part request made by the President of the ICTR for an increase in the number of ad hoc judges; that a chamber be made up exclusively of ad hoc judges; and for the possibility that judges who are retiring be authorized to finalize their judgements from their country of origin without being involved in new cases.”

9. “We have taken note of the reports before us and we would like to express our appreciation to those primarily responsible for the practical steps taken as part of the Completion Strategy in facilitating the swift and harmonious management of trials, as well as the efficient utilization of judges and personnel. These efforts must be acknowledged and encouraged. We are also grateful to the staff of the Tribunals for their dedication. The reports that have just been presented to us make it clear that the Chambers will be very busy in the coming months. In the case of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), for example, the commencement of ten new trials is planned.”

10. “Mr. Kafando (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): I should like at the outset to thank the Presidents and Prosecutors of the two Tribunals for their presentations and, in particular, to congratulate Judge Robinson. 1 would also like to thank the delegation of Belgium for its report on the work of the Informal Working Group on international tribunals. We are particularly grateful to Ambassador Grauls for the leadership and energy that characterized the Belgian Chairmanship of the Working Group. Burkina Faso attaches great importance to the work of the special Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, which were established by the Security Council to combat impunity and to provide justice for the victims on behalf of the international community.”

11. “We hope that that will contribute to improving the humanitarian situation and, in general, establish peace and security in the subregion. We also hope that similar significant progress will be achieved, especially before the next meeting of the contact group on the implementation of the Dakar agreements. I cannot conclude without thanking humanitarian personnel for their daily efforts on behalf of civilians, who risk their lives every day under difficult conditions.”

12. “We urge the Government and the rebel forces to do their utmost to ensure the protection of civilians and the freedom of movement for humanitarian staff. In that regard, we commend the constructive spirit in which Mr. Holmes engaged the Sudanese authorities during his visit. The ongoing deterioration in the humanitarian and security situation in camps for refugees and internally displaced persons in Darfur, the eastern part of Chad and the north-east of the Central African Republic requires intensified efforts by the entire international community, especially by the Security Council. MINURCAT and UNAMID should further coordinate their efforts to strengthen their presence in the camps and regions bordering Chad and the Sudan. Lastly, we welcome the normalization of diplomatic relations between Chad and the Sudan.”

13. “We commend the Government of Chad for its efforts to combat banditry, for that is the only way we can promote the return of refugees and displaced persons in the long-term, as well as the success of development policies. We encourage the Government to continue its efforts in that regard. Given the many challenges faced by the people of Chad, we encourage donors to make additional efforts, especially by responding to the appeal launched at Geneva on 19 November 2008 by the Under-Secretary- General, which was reiterated this afternoon by Mr. Holmes. With regard to the Sudan, despite the signing of a ceasefire agreement between the authorities and rebel groups and the staffing increase in the African Union- United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID), there is still a great deal to be done, in particular in the humanitarian area.”

14. “The end of the mandate of the European Union military operation in the Republic of Chad and in the Central African Republic in March 2009 is further reason for that. We hope that the new United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic and Chad (MINURCAT II) will be in a position to meet the many expectations we all have for it. The effective deployment at the beginning of November of the integrated security detachment in four areas in eastern Chad and the training of gendarmes and police by MINURCAT are encouraging steps in making camps for refugees and displaced persons safer. We hope those initiatives will be extended to other sites.”

15. “Mr. Tiendrebeogo (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): Allow me first of all to thank Under- Secretary-General Holmes for his briefing on the humanitarian situation in the Sudan and Chad. We are especially grateful to him for visiting the region, which of course has enabled him to have first-hand information. We would also like to thank the Permanent Representative of Chad for his important statement. With regard to Chad, we are especially concerned about the precarious state of the overall security situation in the country, especially the ongoing acts of violence and killings of humanitarian staff, in particular in the East. Acts of banditry, clashes between communities, the militarization of camps and forced recruitment, especially of children, call for action by the Security Council and the international community as a whole.”

16. “Such coordination of efforts is indispensable to ensure a comprehensive approach to problems and the provision of appropriate technical assistance. Finally, my delegation heartily encourages the continued holding of public informational meetings, for the sake of transparency and ongoing dialogue with all States Members of the United Nations. The interest shown by States during those briefings and the relevance of the questions raised at them bear witness to the value of such meetings.”

17. “Moreover, we are convinced that the review of the Committee's guidelines will respond to the issue of respect for human rights in the Committee's listing and de-listing procedures. To achieve those objectives, the Committee and the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team will need the full cooperation of States. The 1267 Committee is a very important link in the counter- terrorism system, and it is vital that the international community contribute to ensuring the effectiveness of its activities. Burkina Faso has consistently stressed the need for concerted action by the three Committees and welcomes the exemplary cooperation among them, among their groups of experts and with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and regional and subregional organizations.”

    2008-11-12 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.6015 (2008) · source

18. “Turning to the activities of the 1267 Committee, we welcome the excellent results achieved, especially since the adoption of resolution 1822 (2008) on 30 June. We hope that new initiatives by the Committee will make the current sanctions regime more effective. Notable advances include the review of the consolidated list before 30 June 2010, an annual update, and the introduction of explanations of reasons for listing. The publication on the Committee website of narrative summaries of reasons for the listing of each individual and entity reflects a desire for transparency which my delegation hails. The purpose is to ensure a reliable and transparent procedure for the listing and de-listing of individuals and entities on the consolidated list, along with humanitarian exemptions.”

19. “This reflects the commitment of States to the fight against terrorism and their resolve to continue to cooperate with the Committee and its Executive Directorate. Burkina Faso congratulates the Committee and the Executive Directorate on the success of its field visits and encourages them to complete the stocktaking of each Member State's implementation of resolution 1373 (2001), in order to improve the focus on delays and the substantial assistance to be provided to States requiring it. It is also important that the working groups mandated by the CTED reorganization plan continue their efforts. The Committee's recent decision to invite States that have been visited to participate in discussions on the visit report is a praiseworthy initiative.”

20. “We also congratulate the 1373 Committee on the progress it has achieved in its work. The conduct, jointly with the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED), of the May 2008 global survey of the implementation by Member States of resolution 1373 (2001) (see S/2008/379) is worthy of mention. The first of its kind, the survey made it possible to gauge progress achieved and challenges to be met, broken down by thematic areas and by regions, and to make appropriate recommendations. We note that this was possible thanks to preliminary implementation assessments provided by Member States; my delegation takes this opportunity to welcome the large number of assessments that the Committee has already considered and adopted.”

21. “These take the form of the submission of first reports and additional information; the adoption of legislation; the provision of technical assistance; outreach and the raising of awareness of States; and cooperation, including with regional and subregional organizations. The large number of States that have submitted first reports and additional information reflects not only the Committee's dynamism but also the interest of States in meeting the goal of preventing terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction. We encourage the Committee to continue these efforts and to continue its deliberations with respect to adopting its next annual programme of work, to be submitted to the Security Council by the end of January 2009. That planning tool will be indispensable in evaluating the progress the Committee makes in the ensuing months.”

22. “Mr. Tiendrebeogo (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): I too wish to congratulate you, Mr. President, and to thank you, along with Ambassador Grauls and Ambassador Jurica, in your respective capacities as Chairmen of the three Security Council Committees in the field of counter-terrorism, both for your briefings this morning and for the cooperation that has prevailed in the relations among those three subsidiary bodies of the Security Council. My delegation takes this opportunity to congratulate the 1540 Committee on the excellent report it submitted to the Security Council in July (see S/2008/493), pursuant to resolutions 1673 (2006) and 1810 (2008). The report assesses efforts by States during the second biennium of the Committee's work to implement resolutions 1540 (2004) and 1673 (2006).”

23. “The adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) represents an important stage in the collective will of the international community to promote the rights and interests of women. However, it should not be regarded as an end in itself. In other words, we should not be satisfied by simple regular reviews. Only genuine political will coupled with concrete commitment to peace will make possible the achievement of the objectives of resolution 1325 (2000). The United Nations overall, and the Security Council in particular, have a central role to play in that regard, which they must continue to discharge fully.”

24. “In that way they will be in a position to contribute to setting up platforms and reference frameworks for the participation of women in peace processes. My delegation pays tribute to the pertinence of the recommendations in the Secretary-General's report regarding accelerating the full implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). Those that address the Security Council deserve the greatest attention, given the role this body plays in the maintenance of international peace and security. We especially invite the Council to step up its cooperation with Member States and subregional and regional organizations and to make more frequent use of the Arria Formula, which will enable it to better consolidate the foundations of some of its actions and decisions.”

25. “To illustrate, the African Union included in its Constitutive Act the obligation to take gender equality into account in its programmes and activities, while the gender aspect is a reality in the composition of the Commission of the African Union. As to the Economic Community of West African States, it has elaborated a plan of action on the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). It is a responsibility of civil society, an outstanding partner and a relay in the dissemination of good practices in the promotion of gender issues. In many crisis situations it has amply proven its ability to transcend passion and partisan approaches to mobilize energy for peace. Finally, it is a responsibility of women themselves, who must set up national, regional and international solidarity networks to share experiences and strengthen their capacities.”

26. “Among other things, we call for strengthening women's capacities, especially in the techniques of negotiation and mediation, as well as strengthening the female components of military and police contingents in peacekeeping operations. It is a responsibility of United Nations bodies and subregional and regional organizations, which must further strengthen the use of women's peacemaking and negotiating talents. That means, inter alia, enlarging the female component of representatives, envoys and heads of offices - all key elements of the good offices of those organizations, without forgetting an increase in the number of women decision makers at all levels.”

27. “It did so quite recently, on 23 September, on the occasion of its 5979th meeting, the high-level meeting on mediation as a peaceful way to settle conflicts. The involvement of women involves a collective and shared responsibility. It is an individual responsibility, for we must rid ourselves of certain prejudices and other demeaning concepts regarding the place and role of women in society. Indeed, it is no secret that the challenge of socio-cultural inertia in this regard is often one of the most difficult challenges to take on. It is a responsibility of States and parties to conflicts, as they have the primary obligation to ensure the protection of women and their involvement in the search for solutions to crises and to mainstream the concept of women, peace and security and to strive to ensure its effective implementation.”

    2008-10-29 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.6005 (2008) · source

28. “However, significant as that progress is, it cannot mask the reality i the reality that the results of women's participation in peacekeeping and peacebuilding is far from what was expected and that many challenges, such as sexual violence of all types and impunity, remain to be met before resolution 1325 (2000) is truly and fully implemented. We are all the more concerned by this reality because we are but a few days away from the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is now recognized that the systematic involvement of women in negotiation and mediation efforts, in the elaboration of peace agreements and in reconstruction and reconciliations strategies is essential. The Security Council has reaffirmed that on many occasions.”

29. “It is comforting to note that there has been significant progress since the resolution was adopted, including the setting up of increasingly effective legal and institutional frameworks that are the expression of the constantly growing awareness of the importance of the contribution that women have made and could make to peacekeeping and the promotion of peace. Even better, the need to take into account women's specific needs before, during and after conflicts is now part and parcel of strategies and plans for preventing and emerging from crises and for reconstruction and peacebuilding. That is to the credit not only of Member States but of the United Nations - to whose leadership we should pay tribute - and of regional and subregional organizations, as well as of many civil society organizations.”

30. “Mr. Tiendrebeogo (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): We should like to express our gratitude to your delegation, Mr. President, for having organized this debate on the full-fledged and equal participation of women in peacekeeping, peacebuilding and security efforts. I should also like to thank the Secretary- General for his report (8/2008/622) and Ms. Mayanja for presenting it this morning. We are just as grateful to Mr. Le Roy, Ms. Alberdi and Ms. Taylor for their important contributions. The regular review of the state of implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) testifies to the interest of the Security Council and the international community in this important issue.”

31. “Mr. Tiendrebeogo (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): Burkina Faso is deeply concerned at the escalation of violence in South Ossetia, which has already claimed numerous victims. We urgently appeal to the parties to observe an immediate cessation of hostilities. We urge them to favour dialogue in order to reach a negotiated settlement of their dispute, and we encourage the mediation efforts that are under way.”

33. “We welcome the efforts of the Special Representative and the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), in particular in the quest for a solution to the issues of disputed internal boundaries and electoral assistance. We welcome the considerable fall in the number of attacks on the international zone and encourage all Iraqi parties to continue to cooperate with the Mission. The Secretary-General's report describes a human rights and humanitarian situation that is still very worrisome. The Iraqi Government and all parties involved in Iraq must take the necessary and effective steps to guarantee respect for human rights, combat impunity and improve the overall humanitarian situation. The international community has a duty of solidarity with the Iraqi people.”

34. “Furthermore, the risks of disagreement concerning the constitutional review process, the draft electoral law and hydrocarbons legislation must be mitigated. Equally important to national reconciliation is the delicate question of internal boundaries, which should be resolved as soon as possible through negotiation. My delegation appreciates the regional efforts being made, in particular the high-level contacts between Baghdad and countries of the region, several of which have already announced the reopening of their diplomatic offices and the return of representatives of regional organizations. We urge the entire international community to promote regional dialogue and to maintain its support for the International Compact with Iraq, the implementation of which will help in rebuilding and developing the country.”

35. “Fortunately, we note encouraging signs at the national level and welcome the ongoing compliance with the ceasefire in Sadr City, announced on 11 May, allowing for the gradual restoration of essential services and State authority in that neighbourhood. We also stress the good cooperation among local communities in preventing acts of violence and the ongoing capacity- building of the security forces. The return to the Government of groups that were boycotting the political process reflects the considerable progress that has been made at the political level. Burkina Faso welcomes the dialogue begun among the Iraqi parties and facilitated by the meetings held in Helsinki on 29 April and in Baghdad on 5 July. We urge them to maintain and expand that process and to comply with the decisions taken at those meetings.”

We also express our gratitude to the delegation of Viet Nam for its outstanding conduct of our work last month. Allow me also to thank Mr. Lynn Pascoe for his briefing and Ambassador Wolff for describing the situation with regard to the implementation of the mandate of the Multinational Force in Iraq. I further thank the Permanent Representative of Iraq for his important statement. We are pleased to note that the overall situation in Iraq is improving, but it is clear that major challenges remain, in particular with regard to security.”

37. “We would, however, state our concern at the failings of some States in their cooperation with the Tribunals. It is important for all States to cooperate fully with the Tribunals, which were established by the Council. Finally, with regard to the legacy of the two Tribunals and their residual functions, Burkina Faso is following with interest the activities of the Council's informal working group, which is seeking an appropriate response. We congratulate the working group, which has started a second reading of the residual issues identified in the joint document of the two Tribunals. Such important work that must continue, and we await with interest the proposals that will be made on such essential issues as the archives, witness protection enforcement, the imposition of sanctions, and the trial of fugitives who are yet to be captured.”

38. “In that regard, my delegation invites the international community to support the efforts of the States concerned to strengthen their national judicial systems. In any event, the Council will always be able, when the time comes, to assess the situation and take the necessary measures. With regard to the crucial issue of fugitives, my delegation believes that the work of the Tribunals, even after the end of their mandates, will be effective only if those fugitives are caught and brought to trial. People who are suspected of having played a prominent role in committing the most severe violations of human rights and international humanitarian law should be brought to justice. In that context, we are happy to see the inclination of many States to cooperate with the Tribunals.”

With regard to the deadlines established under resolution 1534 (2004), in view of the fact that they were set by the Council, it would be desirable that all necessary measures be taken in order to respect those deadlines. We congratulate both Tribunals on the practical measures they have taken to accelerate investigations and judgements, as well as to limit delays in preparing the trials. We invite them to continue to develop similar initiatives. In particular, they should identify as soon as possible those trials that should be referred to the competent national jurisdictions.”

My delegation has taken note of the reports of both Tribunals, which very precisely and clearly define the tasks that have been entrusted to them, the efforts they have made to fulfil those tasks, the difficulties that they have faced and continue to face, and above all the challenges concerning the deadlines they have been given by which to conclude their work. With regard to the work that has been accomplished, we would like to congratulate the staff of the Tribunals on the results that they have achieved. They have made significant efforts in prosecuting numerous accused and in handing down indictments and judgements.”

42. “Similarly, numerous countries of the subregion are participating bilaterally in peacebuilding and reconstruction efforts in these countries. Therefore, the United Nations must work closely with the subregional institutions - in a spirit of partnership, of course. With regard to the priority sectors in the context of post-conflict reconstruction and a return to lasting peace, my delegation believes that equal emphasis should be placed on strengthening the rule of law, administrative reform, the thorny issue of debt and the relaunching of economic activity. To conclude, we would like to underscore the fact that all of these processes must be carried out in the framework of a partnership with local authorities in order to promote national ownership.”

43. “Given the need for significant resources during this crucial phase, international financial institutions also must play an important role, working together with the United Nations system. These efforts should dovetail with those of subregional and regional institutions, which, given their proximity and their unique understanding of the socio-economic and cultural problems of the countries of their regions, are better able to mobilize efforts at the subregional level and to help strengthen bilateral relations between countries emerging from conflict and other States. Thus, the Economic Community of West African States, for example, is playing an active role in the reconstruction of Guinea-Bissau and Sierra Leone.”

44. “The Commission, more political in nature, should coordinate the efforts of all stakeholders, launch a constructive dialogue with all national actors, promote in all circumstances national ownership of the process, and make recommendations and suggest integrated peacebuilding strategies in accordance with the spirit and the letter of resolution 1645 (2005). In addition to the contribution made by the Commission, we recognize that United Nations integrated missions, even if they have not wholly achieved the expected results, have made a significant contribution in the area of peacekeeping and peacebuilding in the immediate post-conflict period. Now, the issue of the deployment of multidisciplinary units of civilian experts should be accorded higher priority as well as the deployment of police advisers.”

45. “With regard to the Commission's activities, it seems to us that, while significant actions have been undertaken and partial results obtained - in particular in Burundi and Sierra Leone and soon, we hope, in Guinea-Bissau - the road still ahead of us is a long and difficult one. The Commission must redouble its efforts to mobilize partners and take adequate steps so that the priorities it has identified are matched to those of the Peacebuilding Fund. That implies close cooperation between those two structures, which have complementary mandates, as well as a clear understanding on the part of each of its particular role. As a financing organ, the Peacebuilding Fund is better equipped for designing or evaluating projects submitted to it.”

46. “The current examples of Burundi, Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau and many other countries are illustrative in that regard. Therefore it is urgent to help those countries emerge from that transitional period with an appropriate peacebuilding programme, which the Secretary-General, in his 1998 report entitled "The causes of conflict and the promotion of durable peace and sustainable development in Africa", has already described as "actions undertaken at the end of a conflict to consolidate peace and prevent a recurrence of armed confrontation" (S/1998/318, para. 63). For my delegation, any consideration of post- conflict stabilization must recognize the essential role played by the Peacebuilding Commission.”

47. “Mr. Tiendrebeogo (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French): We too wish to convey our deep condolences to China and Myanmar for the humanitarian catastrophes with which they are dealing. I thank you, Mr. President, for the initiative of organizing this Council debate on peacebuilding and post-conflict stabilization, an issue that Burkina Faso pays particular attention to. My delegation endorses the statement to be made by the representative of Jamaica on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. Countries emerging from conflict face numerous challenges, such as the destabilization of their economies, the collapse of security services and the defence forces, dysfunctional public administration and judicial systems, and more. All that places them in a very precarious situation.”

48. “The international community must continue to mobilize in order to support Bosnia and Herzegovina and peace efforts in the country in the context of the Dayton Agreement. Regional stability and security are at stake.”

49. “It is also necessary to encourage initiatives aimed at inter-communal reconciliation, so as to ease the ongoing tensions among the various communities, especially given the upcoming municipal elections. We would also like to commend the efforts of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. We encourage all States to continue to cooperate fully with the Tribunal. We encourage the mediation efforts and numerous initiatives of the High Representative and his Office to implement the Framework Agreement in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We urge the High Representative and the Steering Board to continue their work. There are still key issues pending that require further efforts.”

50. “Despite the difficulties encountered, we urge the parties to consider all possible ways to emerge from the deadlock on the issues of constitutional reform, defence, justice and administration. Those reforms would contribute to achieving the goals set by the Peace Implementation Council Steering Board. Reforming the economy is crucial to this country in the midst of rebuilding. We should welcome the initiatives taken and the resulting progress. We note in particular the commitment undertaken by the authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina in signing the economic reform platform. We hope that its implementation will have a positive effect on the life of the communities and that it will support the peace process. We urge the international community to pay greater attention to that matter and to provide the necessary support.”
