  1. “In this context, we are grateful to hear that the elections have proceeded smoothly, and we hope that all parties will respect the outcome. Finally, we believe that the new political climate in the region will be able to provide wisdom and ultimately free those who have become hostage to their own narrow interests - those who believe that their interests will be protected by hatred and intolerance.”

  2. “Therefore, my delegation urges the authorities in both entities to take their responsibility seriously and to cooperate fully with the institutions and representatives of the international community to make sure that their country does not revert to war. The international community has spent a great deal of time and effort in Bosnia in order not to allow 62 per cent of young Bosnians to think that their future lies elsewhere in Europe, rather than in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We think that the assistance of the international community is vital in convincing those young Bosnians that their future in Europe depends on their ability to bring a united, democratic and multi- ethnic Bosnia and Herzegovina to the European table.”

  3. “Thank you, Mr. President, for convening this meeting. I would also like to thank Mr. Guehenno, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, for his useful briefing on the elections held on 11 November in Bosnia and Herzegovina. When we look at what has been achieved in Bosnia and Herzegovina five years after the implementation of the Dayton Peace Accords with the assistance of the international community, we all agree that there is peace and progress in that country, however limited it may be. Indeed, our assessment is that overall progress has been very slow and that political will has been lacking in the leadership in Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, the ground has been shifting, albeit slowly, in favour of those who wish to see a multi-ethnic, democratic Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

  4. “We appreciate also the rate of return of refugees and internally displaced persons to the pre-war areas; however, we take serious note of the open obstructionism and lack of political will on the part of local authorities with respect to the implementation of the property laws. In conclusion, my delegation wishes to commend all the personnel of the various international institutions, including the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the International Police Task Force, who have dedicated their lives and their time to a good cause: to help the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina reconstruct their lives and build a multi- ethnic society.”

  5. “In this regard, Namibia acknowledges the activities of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH) in assisting local authorities with meeting their obligations, inter alia, to institute a common Border Service, to increase minority police recruitment and/or transfer minority police officers to various locations throughout the country; and to attract displaced and former police officers to return to their pre-war homes and rejoin the local police forces there. In addition there is the ongoing registration programme geared towards establishing a personnel data bank of authorized police officers in country.”

  6. “Thank you, Mr. President, for convening this important meeting on the implementation of the peace process in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We would also like to thank Under- Secretary-General Miyet for his valuable briefing on the current developments in the country. We note with appreciation the overall improved situation within which the programme on police reform and restructuring continues to make incremental progress.”

  7. “We encourage him to continue and we also commend the men and women of UNMIBH and the Stabilization Force for their valuable contribution to the maintenance of peace and the reconstruction of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this light, we support the Secretary-General's recommendation to extend the mandate of UNMIBH for a further 12 months, ending 21 June 2001.”

  8. “On balance, my delegation also has some concern about the slow progress in the recruitment of minority police officers and in gender balance in both entities, about the return of minorities and internally displaced persons with dignity to their original homes, and about the issue oftrafficking in human beings. On the latter, we are glad that progress has been achieved and we are also looking forward to the report on that issue. It is the view of my delegation that the leaders in Bosnia and Herzegovina ought to address these issues, because the colour and composition of a future united, multi-ethnic Bosnia and Herzegovina really depend on the harmonization of these basic ingredients. Once again, we thank the Special Representative for his timely briefing.”

  9. “Notwithstanding the difficulties encountered in the professionalization and reconstruction of the police and judiciary system, the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH) and the International Police Task Force (IPTF) have achieved tangible results, notably, the inauguration of the multi- ethnic State Border Service and the establishment of the multi-ethnic Brcko district police force, as well as many more. We also take note from the Secretary-General's report of the new spirit of cooperation in the Herzegovina-Neretva canton, which for the first time since the war allowed Bosniacs to work in west Mostar. We hope that this spirit will be replicated throughout the country.”

  10. “We, too, thank the Secretary-General for his comprehensive report on Bosnia and Herzegovina and would like to welcome his Special Representative, Mr. Jacques Klein, and to thank him for his valuable update on the implementation of the Peace Agreement in that country. My delegation concurs with the Secretary- General and his Special Representative that without an effective police force and judicial institutions in place, all efforts by the international community for durable peace and self-sustainable development in Bosnia and Herzegovina will indeed be incomplete.”
