Before giving the floor to the next speaker, I should like to draw members' attention to the fact that there are still 42 speakers inscribed on my list. After two hours of debate, we have been able to hear only 11. My hope is that we shall be able to hear the maximum number of speakers this evening so that we can conclude a bit earlier tomorrow.

“We also encourage the Indonesian and East Timorese parties to continue negotiations to conclude a final agreement on border demarcation so as to prevent friction in the future and to strengthen relations of trust between the two countries. Finally, my delegation would like to reiterate the appeal made to donors for increased support to Timor- Leste in basic areas such as defence, the police, justice and crime reduction. We are convinced that that will help to consolidate the activities of UNMISET and contribute to the establishment, in the near future, of peace and stability, which will be the basis for the sustainable development of the country. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. The next speaker inscribed on my list is the representative of Timor-Leste, to whom I give the floor.”

“That is why we fully agree with the recommendations of the Secretary-General, in particular with regard to the simplified two-phase deployment plan for the military component until May 2004 and the strengthening of the operational capacity of the UNMISET police with a view to enabling it to cope with civil disorder and improve the ability of the Timor-Leste police to contain such disorder. We agree, however, that we should not exclude the possibility of such plans being revised in the event either of a significant improvement or of a deterioration in the overall security climate. Furthermore, my delegation would like to emphasize the need for the leaders and the people of Timor-Leste fully to promote the implementation of the necessary measures with a view to dealing with that challenge.”

“We believe that the very first step should be rapidly to ensure the necessary capacity for maintaining security so as to preserve and strengthen the achievements of the past three years. Resolution 1410 (2002), which the Council adopted unanimously on 17 May 2002, gave UNMISET the specific mandate to ensure, on an interim basis, the implementation of laws and public security; to contribute to the development of the national police force; and to provide assistance for the maintenance of the internal and external security of Timor-Leste. Given the growing threat to the stability and security of the country, that mandate should be supported vigorously now more than ever.”

“The many armed incidents and the public unrest in the country since last November have unfortunately tempered our optimism and undermined the hope that had been engendered. The seriousness of those events should urge the Council to consider the steps that can be taken to avoid jeopardizing the valuable achievements of three long years of arduous efforts on the part of the international community. The anxiety that has taken hold of the people at a time when the country is going through a crucial stage in its political and economic development is extremely disturbing. In this connection, my delegation believes that appropriate investigations should be urgently conducted so as to determine the origins of the climate of instability and to find the right solution.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Guinea. 1 should like first of all to extend my delegation's sincere condolences to the Government of the Republic of Korea and to the bereaved families for the tragic loss of the five Korean soldiers from the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET). I should like to express my delegation's support for the report of the Secretary-General and to thank Mr. Jean-Marie Guehenno for his excellent introduction of the report. The birth of the Democratic Republic of Timor- Leste on 20 May 2002 offered us a glimmer of hope for a better future for the people of Timor-Leste, who had for so long been victims of the vicissitudes of history.”

“We warmly encourage such activities, which contribute to strengthening the dissemination of information on the application of sanctions and their economic and humanitarian consequences. In the same vein, the sanctions committees must strengthen their cooperation because certain of their activities are being duplicated. In conclusion, I should like to express my delegation's conviction that, far from being repressive measures, targeted sanctions are in fact an excellent means of prompting offending States, organizations and groups to abide by the United Nations Charter. They are therefore an effective tool for stimulating the required political will necessary to the maintenance of international peace and security.”

“Despite the highly commendable efforts that have been made, the Council's informal working group has yet to agree on a common position that could improve the sanctions regimes. In our View, the remaining differences on certain points may be sensitive but are not insurmountable. With a little more will and the desire to agree, we could overcome those differences and produce a consensus document on the administration, conception and implementation of sanctions. That is why we urge all the members of the group to work to achieve that objective. Furthermore, we remain convinced that sanctions can be fully effective only if consultation and cooperation are maintained on a regular basis between the Secretariat and the sanctions committees, on the one hand, and interested international, regional and subregional organizations, on the other.”

“In order to right the situation, it would be desirable for the Council to become further involved in the ongoing improvement of regimes in force, while avoiding selectivity. This means that, in addition to the traditional role allocated to the panels of experts and follow-up groups, we should create a series of reliable and effective uniform monitoring mechanisms. The example of Angola is enlightening in that respect. Moreover, my delegation believes that, if the mechanism is to function effectively, the sanctions committees must be provided with adequate financial resources so as to be able to assist those States that do not have the means necessary to create the required legal and normative arsenal.”

“My delegation welcomes these commendable initiatives which are mutually complementary and attest to our shared will to make sanctions more effective and more efficient. The increasingly important role played by the sanctions committees created by the Security Council clearly demonstrates this. Thus it should also be noted that in targeting leaders, administrations or specific groups, sanctions have made it possible to maintain the required pressure on them and, in some cases, to change their stance in order to restore peace. However, as effective as they may be, it must be recognized that smart sanctions continue to be the subject of frequent violations, be they arms embargoes, freezing of financial assets, or travel bans.”

“Along the same lines, the Interlaken process, begun in Sweden in 1998 and 1999, brought together experts, non-governmental organizations and United Nations representatives to consider the issue of financial sanctions. The Bonn-Berlin process which followed, in 1999 and 2000, in turn dealt with arms embargoes and travel bans. These two processes led to the adoption of smart, targeted sanctions, which have made it possible to minimize the impact of sanctions on civilian populations and on third countries. Those instruments were supplemented by the Stockholm protocol, which led to the drawing up of effective measures for the implementation and monitoring of targeted sanctions.”

“While sanctions have played a crucial role in the promotion of international peace and security, we are obliged, however, to note that they have not had all the success we had hoped for. In some situations, they have not been effective and have had a clear impact on civilian populations and neighbouring States during the course of their use. This state of affairs has on occasion raised questions regarding the usefulness of sanctions and even tarnished the image of the United Nations. That is why over time the international community has felt that there is a need to improve not only the definition but also the targets and the effectiveness of sanctions. To that end, our Council decided, in April 2000, to create an informal working group for the consideration of general issues related to sanctions.”

“Mr. Traore (Guinea) (spoke in French): My delegation would like at the outset to thank you, Mr. President, for having convened this public meeting on general questions relating to sanctions. We would like also to welcome the presence here of Mr. Hans Dahlgren, State Secretary for Foreign Affairs of Sweden, and to thank him for his important statement. We would also like to thank Assistant Secretary- General Danilo Tiirk for his extremely useful statement. Over the past decade, the Security Council, in accordance with its mandate, has been obliged to make use of sanctions as a means of maintaining and restoring peace and security in many regions of the world.”

“Given that that aid is slow in coming, I want to ask Mr. Nishimura what concrete steps he thinks must be taken to combat that scourge effectively. If opium production is not curbed, it will compromise the chances of getting the country on track. Everyone is aware of the damaging consequences of opium and other drugs in general. I believe that it is very important to formulate measures to curb the massive production of opium in Afghanistan.”

“Mr. Traore (Guinea) (spoke in French): Like preceding speakers, I should like to extend to the representatives of Pakistan and Afghanistan the sincere condolences of my delegation on the air crash that took the life of the Afghan Minister for Mines and Industry and a number of Pakistani officials. I would like to thank Under-Secretary-General Guehenno, Ambassador Nishimura of Japan and Ambassador Braun of Germany for their very useful briefings this morning. I especially thank Germany and Japan, together with other countries, for their important role in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. I have one question for Mr. Nishimura with regard to opium production. If I understood correctly, opium production in 2002 amounted to $1.2 billion - an amount equal to more than half of international aid expected for Afghanistan.”

“ElBaradei and in their respective teams, who have demonstrated professionalism in carrying out their mandate. They can be assured of our full support. We urge them to continue their efforts with a view to exploring all the possibilities offered by the inspections process. In conclusion, I should like to reiterate that the Council must continue to work in unity, which is the only way to attain our goal. We must not lose sight of that imperative, because - above and beyond the unity of the Council - it is the future of the Organization that is at stake.”

“That is why my country appeals for a swift beginning of direct and constructive dialogue among Security Council members so that we can move beyond this climate of tension, which could deal a harsh blow to the United Nations system. I am sure everyone will agree that that would not be in anyone's interest. Very useful ideas with a view to a positive resolution of the crisis have just been expressed in this Chamber by eminent personalities. Taking careful note of those ideas, my delegation wants to emphasize Iraq's obligation to finally agree to cooperate immediately and actively, in strict conformity with the relevant Security Council resolutions, particularly resolution 1441 (2002). Iraq must end its delaying tactics; a peaceful settlement of the crisis depends on that. We reaffirm our confidence in Mr. Blix and Mr.”

“Yet, despite that, my delegation, which appreciates the progress made thus far by the inspectors, advocates continued inspections, although we believe that they should not be continued indefinitely. In the current state of affairs, a reasonable amount of additional time would assist in the search for a consensus that could bring together - as one must note - the very divergent points of view expressed around this table. My country, Guinea, is concerned at the abrupt rise in tension within the international community concerning the Iraqi crisis. Yet everyone agrees on the essential point: the disarmament of Iraq. But how to bring it about? That is the great question - hence the divergent views on what path to follow.”

“The restrictions that had been imposed until now on reconnaissance flights by U-2 aircraft have been lifted. Legislation banning the production of weapons of mass destruction has, I believe, just been approved. My delegation appreciates those facts, which we consider a beginning of active cooperation by Iraq. However, the discovery of significant quantities of anthrax and mustard gas, albeit destroyed, the development of a programme for missiles with a range beyond the authorized 150 kilometres and the submission to the inspectors of further documents on pending issues that were not included in the 7 December 2002 declaration all give rise to new questions.”
