  1. Guehenno to give us additional information about the voter registration process, in particular as regards what is being done to register displaced persons and refugees as well as what has been done thus far to stimulate participation in these categories. Another interesting topic is the situation in prisons. Last month, Mr. Guehenno mentioned the material conditions in prisons as a result of the number of persons being arrested on a daily basis as compared to the capacity of penal institutions. We would like to know what UNMIK is doing to cope with this situation and whether, in his opinion, there is anything the Council could do to prevent the problem from spinning out of control. The last element we would like to highlight concerns the situation in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in relation to Kosovo.

  2. This is why we are gratified to hear that the degree of understanding between the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and the Yugoslav Government is constantly improving, and we hope this will contribute to the search for solutions to matters such as security, missing and detained persons, and the return of refugees. As for electoral participation, the low figures only 10 days before the closing of the rolls are alarming. We would all like the recent appeal made by the Belgrade authorities to stimulate the Serb Kosovo population to be heeded. These comments should be made repeatedly and even more emphatically in the days to come. In this connection, we would like Mr.

  3. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Colombia. I wish to start by thanking Under-Secretary- General Guehenno for his comprehensive presentation on recent events in Kosovo and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. With regard to what he said, in the first place we support the constructive dialogue held between Mr. Haekkerup and the Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia, Mr. Covic. As we have pointed out on different occasions, the success ofthe political process of implementing the Constitutional Framework, and of Kosovo's future in general, depends on cooperative relations with Belgrade.

  45. But in so doing, we would like to point out our concern about the scarce results produced since the beginning of this phase of the violence in September 2000 in the Middle East. We believe that the Security Council therefore has a role that must be assumed responsibly to prevent greater polarization between the parties and to contribute to helping them find alternative solutions to the escalating violence. We see the Council's task as an effort that is in accord with and complementary to those carried out by other actors of the international community, including, of course, the actions of the Secretary-General. Therefore, we believe that Council action should essentially be oriented towards full implementation of the Mitchell report recommendations. This document was welcomed by the members of the Council on 22 May 2001.

  46. The same source has categorized the blockade, the worst since those imposed in 1967, as the cause of a shortfall in the Palestinian Authority's finances that reached 22 per cent ofits total budget at the end of 2000. We believe that the recommendations of the Mitchell report of 30 April 2001 are urgent and must be supported and fully implemented, in particular those referring to the cessation of violence, the reaffirmation of the commitments undertaken by the parties to date and the implementation of confidence-building measures to facilitate the resumption of negotiations. We recognize that the international community has taken various initiatives to bring about these very objectives. Colombia fully supports these efforts and encourages the involved actors of the international community not to desist.

  47. It involves facts with significant political meaning that flout previous agreements between the parties and delay confidence- building between them. We call upon the Government of Israel to withdraw from these installations. The economic situation of the Palestinian people also does not contribute to the creation of favourable conditions for a genuine peace process. We wish to appeal to the international community to help the Palestinian people financially, and to Israel to put an end to the blockades and restrictions that are stifling the precarious Palestinian economy. It has been reported that the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process has said that more than one third of Palestinians live below the poverty threshold.

  48. Our statements are pervaded by an awareness of the need to exercise the greatest serenity and caution possible, avoiding in all instances aggravation of an already volatile situation. The situation in the Middle East has fallen into a spiral of violence that is not favourable to anyone. The excessive use of force by Israel, which indiscriminately affects the Palestinian population, as well as the selective assassination of Palestinian individuals, are practices that do not contribute to the cause of peace. Similarly, terrorist attacks attributed to extremist groups that have indiscriminately affected the civil population are also unacceptable. The occupation of Orient House in Jerusalem and of other buildings of Palestinian institutions in the surrounding area by Israeli forces also deserves international condemnation.

  49. I will now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Colombia. We support this open debate of the Security Council, and we are participating in it in the most constructive spirit and with the sincere hope of contributing to creating conditions that will make possible the end of violence in the Middle East and the resumption of negotiations between the parties as soon as possible. We are also doing this because we have always maintained that the Security Council can and must act when there are threats to international peace and security, in full accordance with the responsibilities attributed to the Council by the Charter. This is the context in which we would like to raise a few concepts related to the sensitive situation in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine.
