  1. I would like to close by expressing, on behalf of the Government of Denmark, our recognition and thanks to the African Union and its leadership for showing unwavering support and consistent engagement in fostering an agreement in Abuja. The leadership we have seen, and the readiness to apply pressure on peers when needed, have generated international respect. That will undoubtedly serve as an indispensable foundation for an increasing role by the African Union in conflict resolution on the African continent.

  2. The African Union Mission in the Sudan (AMIS) has done a commendable job under very difficult circumstances. We continue to recognize its important role, while we also believe that it is essential to secure a transition from AMIS to a United Nations operation as quickly as possible. Denmark strongly encourages the Sudanese Government to agree to allow the United Nations planning team to visit Darfur. That is crucial not only in order to prepare for a United Nations peacekeeping operation, but also to ensure that AMIS receives all the support needed during the transition period. Together with our partners, we stand ready to provide support during this process.

  3. Yesterday, I set aside further means, and we will closely monitor the situation in the coming months. I strongly urge the international donor community to provide immediate support for the humanitarian efforts in Darfur. Today's meeting takes place on a positive note. However, we remain deeply concerned over the continued fighting and violence in Darfur. No one should forget the dire situation that, at this very moment, continues to face many thousands of people in Darfur. Improved security and better access for humanitarian workers are imperatives. All restrictions on the work of humanitarian organizations must be lifted immediately. Leaders who fail their own populations in that regard are, in effect, neglecting their core responsibilities. Access to people in need is critically dependent on the security situation on the ground.

  4. As a member of the Security Council, Denmark has consistently supported the position that all measures, including sanctions, should be put to use as and when appropriate. It is crucial that we encourage- and if necessary apply - pressure on those parties or individuals who stand in the way of peace. We continue to support that approach in order to achieve a lasting peace in Darfur and in the Sudan as a whole. Denmark is committed to supporting the implementation of the Darfur peace agreement. The signing in Abuja was only a first step, but a very crucial one. The agreement calls for a Darfur-Darfur dialogue as well as post-conflict reconstruction; both will need continued support from the international community. Denmark has, from the outset of this crisis, provided substantial support for humanitarian activities in Darfur.

  5. The remaining leaders of the movements - those who have yet to accept the agreement - must be made aware that by hesitating they fail their own people, who most of all want to see peace and security for themselves and for future generations. It is our hope that strong international support for the implementation of the Darfur peace agreement will show that those who choose to stay outside the agreement will also have denied themselves influence over the future of Darfur. There is still room, but not a lot of time, for the leaders of the two remaining movements - the Justice and Equality Movement and the other faction of the SLM- to join the agreement that has now been achieved.

  6. On behalf of the Government of Denmark, I would like to commend the African Union, as well as the Sudanese parties, for their efforts and diligence in working towards a peace agreement. The seventh round of Abuja talks lasted more than five months. The commitment shown by African leaders, as well as other international partners and observers, deserves our recognition and sincere thanks. In particular, I would like to acknowledge the leaders of the Government of National Unity and the faction of the Sudan Liberation Movement represented by Mr. Minni Minawi. Both parties have shown leadership and courage by accepting the necessary compromises and signing the Darfur peace agreement.
