1. “The negative effect should be a factor that can be controlled and for which contingency measures can be put in place to provide appropriate compensation for the anticipated negative effect. The case of Liberia - a subject on which discussions have already begun in the sanctions Committee, and which we will continue to debate in the Security Council - provides a concrete example that prompts us to consider such consequences. I do not want discuss that case in detail at this time, but I would like to highlight it, because we will have an opportunity to consider the regional components of this issue: the role of other actors in ensuring a positive development of the regional situation, as well as the effects of sanctions - not just expected effects, but also unexpected inputs relating to humanitarian assistance for Liberia.”

2. “I am referring specifically to banks and other financial organizations, private sector enterprises, academic institutions and civil society organizations that have a relevant role to play in the implementation and monitoring of sanctions. The second point that I would like to raise relates to the effects of sanctions. The challenge is to produce changes in the conduct of actors whose activities represent a threat to international peace and security. The difficulty for the Security Council, however, is how to produce that change in behaviour without affecting those who are not a threat to international peace and security - the civilians. Sanctions always have a negative effect, but they should have multiple positive impacts on international peace and security.”

3. “If sanctions are not fair, if they do not have the proper basis and support the Council's work will be perceived as inappropriate and improper and its relevance will be questioned. Secondly, if sanctions are not effective, the image and the legitimacy of the Council will be compromised. Sanctions must work; in other words, they must produce the anticipated results. Thirdly, the Bonn-Berlin and Interlaken processes have prompted us to think about the need for the Security Council to communicate with other actors - not only with non-members of the Council but, in particular, with protagonists that are relevant to the implementation of such sanctions.”

4. “Mr. Franco (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): I would like to begin by expressing our gratitude to Ambassador Kastrup of Germany, Ambassador Staehelin of Switzerland and the State Secretary for Foreign Affairs of Sweden, Mr. Hans Dahlgren. We would also like to thank the Assistant Secretary-General, Mr. Ibrahima Fall, for his introductory statement. Colombia would like raise five specific points. The first relates to the effectiveness of sanctions. The Bonn-Berlin process has prompted us to reflect on the key importance of this issue for the work of the Council, in three areas in particular, the first of which is the Security Council's image and the way in which it is perceived.”

5. “However, we want to point out that a Committee of Friends is recommendable only as long as it strengthens the regional capacity for resolving the situation in Somalia; strengthens political and financial support for the transitional Government; contributes to defining an appropriate role for the Security Council in dealing with this situation and prevents a greater breach between the Council and the situation on the ground.”

6. “Given the importance this office has for the process of unification and reconciliation in Somalia, we wish to encourage that a thorough review of security in Somalia, as suggested by the Secretary- General in paragraph 71 of his report, be undertaken without delay. Finally, we have noted the proposal to create a Committee of Friends. Colombia, of course, does not oppose an idea of this kind, especially in the absence of political alternatives for Somalia.”

7. “First, with respect to humanitarian activities and development, the Security Council must demonstrate its commitment to the work already being carried out by United Nations agencies and by other humanitarian organizations. Even when it is evident that the Council's action is not essential to the work of these organizations and agencies, the Council's total inaction and isolation could be counterproductive for carrying out these humanitarian and development activities. Secondly, we have taken note of the Secretary- General's opinion that the security conditions necessary for opening a peace-building office do not exist.”

8. “We do not know if these regional initiatives will produce the desired results, but we firmly believe that this is the best way to guarantee that the Arta process can move forward in the right direction. For that reason, we call for examining the situation in Somalia from a regional focus that involves all internal and external actors in the search for a common result: the attainment of peace, stability and normality in the entire territory. I wish to conclude by articulating three specific considerations on the humanitarian situation, the presence of the United Nations and the creation of a Committee of Friends, as has been suggested.”

9. “At the regional level, we appreciate the various regional initiatives, and we believe that they must be the centre of attention of any effort that is taken from New York. We do not conceive the Council as a substitute for regional activities. On the contrary, we believe that the Council should complement and politically reinforce the solutions proposed by Africans in response to African problems. In this sense, we welcome the efforts extended by the Intergovernmental Authority for Development, and the political coordination extended by the Organization for African Unity, including the possibility of convening a national reconciliation conference.”

10. “However, we wish to affirm that it is precisely this complex context in which we are acting that must collectively motivate us on the Council to take decisions contributing to the strengthening of the efforts made by other regional and national actors, keeping in mind that all of us desire the reconstruction, the cohesion and the reconciliation of the country. That is why Colombia considers that the Secretariat and the Security Council must offer sustained political support to the transitional Government. This is the only visible and viable effort on the national level, and if we do not offer the Government the necessary support, we will find ourselves in the same situation as before, but without a legitimate interlocutor inside the country.”

11. “Now, we wish to present some general considerations that might contribute to the discussion on a well-defined and appropriate role for the Security Council in Somalia's national reconciliation process. We are convinced that Somalia poses a series of challenges for the international community in the political and humanitarian domains, in which the United Nations system cannot completely avoid involvement. We are completely convinced of this, though aware that recent history and the conditions of security prevalent in several areas of Somalia do not favour the carrying-out of sustained multilateral activities that could have substantial impact on the ground.”

12. “Mr. Valdivieso (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): I also wish to begin by welcoming in our midst the Prime Minister of Somalia, Mr. Ali Khalif Galaydh, and his participation in the discussion on the situation in Somalia - in this open format, which is a very good development. We also wish to thank Mr. Stephen, the head of the United Nations Political Office for Somalia, for his presentation of the Secretary-General's report. Aside from this week's consultations, the last time the Security Council took up this issue in depth was in August, when we received extensive information on the humanitarian situation. On that occasion, an exhaustive study was done and we were able to appreciate the immense potential that a decisive involvement of United Nations agencies had.”

13. “We also commend the work being done, in particular by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, to build the electoral structures that are necessary for the success of the elections to be held next month. Finally, I would like to announce our support for the text that is to be adopted after this meeting.”

14. “Haekkerup's comments on transition activities that all Kosovars, including UNMIK, have ahead of them after the elections, we know that this is an even greater challenge than the one before us now, during the stage that will culminate on 17 November. His account of future tasks shows us that the Security Council must provide some follow-up. We are convinced that in a very few weeks Mr. Haekkerup will be with us again to give a detailed analysis of such events. By way of conclusion, let me tell you of my country's support for the work being carried out by Mr. Haekkerup as head of UNMIK. We have seen his perseverance and devotion in recent months, and in facing the challenges now before him he will once again demonstrate his commitment to the people of Kosovo.”

15. “Thus the support of the Serbian authorities and the minority leaders in encouraging voting would be timely and must start immediately. We agree with the Special Representative when he says that there is no contradiction in criticizing some aspects of the process and participating in it. In his report the Secretary-General calls upon all local political representatives and representatives of civil society to use their leadership to prevent political violence on the eve of the election. They must ensure that there will be a peaceful environment. All this will guarantee a positive result, which will be more representative. When we hear Mr.”

16. “Now it is necessary for these individuals to continue in this process and indeed go out to vote on 17 November. The establishment of a special group to provide information to minority communities on the electoral system and the functions of the Assembly to be elected may make a considerable contribution to ensuring that the communities will participate on election day. We also wish to thank President Kostunica and the Serbian authorities for their appeal to Kosovo Serbs to participate and to register. We can already see the positive effect that had. It is very important that this cooperation be maintained to ensure that those who were registered continue to participate and to vote. What is more, given the date of the elections, it would not be a good idea to change that date in any way, as might have occurred with registering.”

17. “Mr. Valdivieso (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): I wish to welcome Mr. Haekkerup and to thank him for the very valuable information he has provided today. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his comprehensive report. It emphasizes the achievements of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) in recent months. There are several challenges before us, as we noted in the meeting of 17 September, and they must be dealt with in a systematic way. However, right now the priority should be the 17 November elections. These elections will consolidate the bases for the administrative structures that will be responsible for the political delineations for the future of Kosovo. For Colombia, minority participation in the democratic process is basic. The registering of 150,000 Serbians is encouraging.”

18. “We also welcome the regional programmes adopted by the Government of Yugoslavia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, because these measures will facilitate the adoption of lasting solutions to the problems of refugees. Lastly, we wish to mention the need to improve the demining programme. We know from the report that one of the problems is the lack of funds. For that purpose it is necessary for the authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina to increase their own internal contribution. It is alarming that in five years only 12 per cent of high-risk areas have been examined and only 7 per cent of the land has been cleared of mines. It will therefore be up to the competent authorities to take action in order to have a more active programme in operation, ensuring the cooperation of the international community.”

19. “That law makes it possible for Bosnia and Herzegovina to begin to reform through democratic processes the political attitudes of the past. We are, however, concerned about the refusal of the authorities of the Republika Srpska to cooperate with the International Criminal Tribunal. We hope that the draft law of cooperation, which is to be considered by the National Assembly, will be adopted in the near future to ensure that the cooperation that has thus far existed on the part of Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina will be extended to the Republika Srpska. We also want to underscore the increase in the number of minority persons that have been returning in recent months. We hope that the required policies will be adopted at the state level and between the Entities so as to ensure an increase in those numbers.”

20. “This means that the country will have a more active role in the community of nations and that it will be possible for it to progress towards regional integration. The international community must continue to give its assistance in this process, but there must be a steady change in the role that has been played by it thus far. From being an actor within the process of reform and stabilization, it must become an observer. Of course, the most difficult thing is to determine the appropriate time to effect that change. We want to highlight a few of the elements that were mentioned by Mr. Petritsch and by Mr. Klein that underscore the achievements and the challenges ahead. First of all, in the political field, we note the adoption of the Election Law by the Parliamentary Assembly.”

21. “Mr. Valdivieso (Colombia) (Spoke in Spanish): I want to reiterate the welcome that has been expressed to Mr. Petritsch, the High Representative, and to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Klein. We want to thank them for the information that they have brought to us. Through their statements and the report, we can see that there is a combination of positive and negative events that demonstrate how complex it is to implement the Dayton Accord. This also shows the kind of commitment that the international community still must have. The future of Bosnia and Herzegovina lies in the resolve of its leaders to persevere on the path that has been designed by the international community in order to strengthen the reforms on the policies that are necessary for the internal stability of the country.”

22. “However, the report still is designed to be informational - to be a compendium of data that can easily be consulted, especially if we use modern technology. What we need is a report that is more flexible and more appealing: a report that can provide an accurate reflection of what is accomplished here, and one that would make it possible for other members of the Organization better to understand the Council's relationship with other bodies of the United Nations system. We therefore support the efforts that are being made. Proposals will surely be made in this respect. We will participate in the debate in the Assembly, and we hope to submit alternatives in a timely fashion that will receive the support of the other members of the Council.”

23. “On the other hand, certain Council members have on numerous occasions met with the Assembly's working group. Both this year and last year, it was said that the report must be improved and made more useful. Those of us who are permanent members of the Assembly as well as non-permanent members of the Council bear an additional responsibility in this regard. I am convinced that we can and must enhance its contents, so as to describe better the work of the Council and also to ensure that the report can better be utilized. As has been said, and as was noted in consultations, in no way should these comments prevent us from acknowledging the valuable work done by the Secretariat in compiling information and organizing it in keeping with the instructions and guidelines that the Council has laid down.”

24. “Mr. Valdivieso (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): With respect to this agenda item, I, too, believe that for the record, and for the purpose of inclusion in next year's report, we should not limit ourselves to hearing an explanatory statement from the Secretariat - from Mr. Fall - but that members of the Council should also make comments on the subject. Several circumstances are mentioned in the introduction that were taken into account with a view to improving the product. As we said in consultations, and as Ambassador Mahbubani has noted, it says, for instance, that in 1997 new measures were adopted with a view to making future annual reports more analytical. That goal has not been achieved, at least insofar as the last three reports are concerned.”

25. “It is a reality that additional security measures are needed both in New York and at facilities where the United Nations operates in this city. However, I wish to make an appeal that we respond with greater commitment, with greater presence and with additional effort in our search for the decisions that the international community of nations is expecting, the community that both members and non-members of the Council represent. Thus, we will be giving the best possible response to those who simply cannot prevail. Finally, may I express my delegation's willingness to participate with all members of the Council in the adoption of immediate measures in keeping with the responsibilities of the Council under the Charter.”

I wish to propose a thought on the regular activities of both the Security Council and the United Nations in general in light of the terrorist acts of yesterday. It should be our understanding that anything that means unnecessarily interrupting our regular work will be a victory for those criminals who organized the barbarous acts of yesterday that bring us to meet today.”

We share with the delegation of the United States and its Government the conviction that this is an attack not only against this country but also against the community of civilized peoples, the values of humanity and a future of peace. I should like to echo the words of the statement made yesterday by the Government of Colombia condemning and rejecting these cowardly attacks. Nothing can justify thousands of innocent victims paying with their lives for the intolerance and hatred of a group of extremists.”

Finally, we would like to express our support for the contents of the presidential statement to be adopted later.”

29. “We hope that, as announced, it will be able to join forces with representatives of minority parties in order to craft a constitution that will identify and support the needs of all Timorese. We support Mr. Vieira de Mello's proposal to create a new transitional Government that will have an all-Timorese ministerial cabinet. As we affirmed earlier, the election of the Constituent Assembly is a new step on the road towards national reconciliation. It is indispensable, however, for the truth and reconciliation commission to be set up. In order to secure the viability of the future State, the international community must continue to support that process.”

30. “We would also like to join those who have congratulated the people of East Timor for the massive and unprecedented voter turnout of over 90 per cent of registered voters participated. We would like to congratulate Mr. Sergio Vieira de Mello; Mr. Carlos Valenzuela, head of the Independent Electoral Commission of the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET); to all the personnel of UNTAET; and to the volunteers for their organization of and active participation in this important event. A crucial exercise will take place on 15 September, when the Constituent Assembly will begin work on drafting a new constitution. It will have 90 days in which to do so. Although the East Timor National Liberation Front won a clear majority, it was not a decisive one.”

It reflects well on, among others, our Secretary-General, who is honouring us today with his presence. While it can be said that there were some concerns and genuine fears at the possibility of political violence, we are truly delighted to be able to note that the democratic process took place peacefully and without violence. The Timorese managed to overcome the ghosts of the past associated with the violence that followed the popular consultation held two years ago. This shows that the Pact of National Unity is being complied with.”

We hope that results of this visit help to maintain the positive direction events in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are taking. In conclusion, I want to add the voice of my delegation to the desire of the Congolese people, expressed by Congolese Foreign Minister, Leonard Okitundu, in Gaborone last week, when he stated that the war in the Congo had ended. This is the aspiration of my delegation and of all the members of the Security Council. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.

We especially wish to underline the sense of the visit of Ms. Carol Bellamy of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo this month. We regret that she was not able to join us at this meeting due to her participation in the Conference against Racism being held in South Africa starting this week. Her visit contributed to highlighting the needs of minors in this conflict, particularly the access of humanitarian organizations to restricted areas where there are people living at serious risk, and the recruitment of child soldiers on both sides of the border. For this reason, we wish to congratulate UNICEF for this initiative.”

With regard to the briefing provided by Mr. Annabi, I would also like to emphasize the disturbing aspects of the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Combat is still occurring in the eastern part of the country in operations promoted by rebel groups that have not signed the Lusaka Agreement. Difficulties persist in the demilitarization of Kisangani despite the efforts of the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) to maintain a dialogue with the representatives of the Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD).”

We were very encouraged by the positive signs to which he referred with regard to the observance of the ceasefire, the disengagement of forces and the gradual withdrawal of foreign troops from Congolese territory. Above all, however, we welcome the positive results of the first preparatory meeting of the inter-Congolese dialogue, held from 20 to 24 August, on which the facilitator, former President Ketumile Masire, will report to the Council next week. In our contacts with his office during August, we have noted his readiness to meet with the Council on 5 September.”

50. “The Government of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has sent several letters to the Secretary-General making serious accusations about the work being carried out by UNMIK and KFOR to put an end to assistance being provided to the National Liberation Army. We would like to know what specific actions are being carried out jointly by UNMIK and KFOR to investigate thoroughly the accusations and allegations against members of the Kosovo Protection Corps. The international community must not allow all the achievements made in Kosovo through the work of UNMIK and KFOR to be jeopardized by these facts. That is why concrete acts must be employed to respond to these allegations. Finally, in connection with what has been said about sanctions, it is clear that the Council must be prepared to consider without delay lifting the sanctions.”
