1. “As to its contents, we have been given a small insight by both the preface, which was posted yesterday on the web page of the Independent Inquiry Committee, and Mr. Volcker's briefing this morning. It is understandable that, in order to do justice to the extensive work done by the Committee as well as in order to draw possible lessons for the future, we have to study the report carefully and scrupulously examine the findings contained therein. Needless to say, that will take some time, but no matter how long it takes, something needs to be done, and in a coherent and level-headed manner. We must not be too quick to draw conclusions under pressure as to whether the credibility of the United Nations has been seriously undermined by the workings of the oil-for-food programme.”

2. “The last two years have definitely been very difficult for the Secretary-General. But we all followed his courage, determination and candidness in presenting suggestions and making changes, starting with the appointment of the Independent Inquiry Committee. I think his statement today proves what Ijust said. We thank Mr. Volcker and the other members of the Committee for today's briefing and their submission of the Committee's report to the Security Council. If I had to judge it simply on its size, the report would certainly appear to reflect more than a year's work done by dozens of attorneys, investigators and forensic specialists. However, regardless of the size of the report, what is important is what it contains.”

3. “We look forward to receiving his proposals, as we believe that the United Nations has a significant role to play in the country's continuing progress towards the better future it truly deserves. Finally, we support the draft presidential statement to be adopted by the Council on the situation in Afghanistan.”

4. “Afghanistan has made enormous progress in recent years. Many challenges remain to be overcome. Although some of those problems, and their complexity, may seem daunting, we believe that the Afghan people have the courage and determination to overcome them. Continued international engagement and support are crucial in that respect. We value the commitment and the contributions of the United Nations and individual countries, as well as those of non-governmental organizations, civil society and humanitarian organizations, to assist Afghanistan and its people. The completion of the Bonn process must be a clear benchmark. We welcome the Secretary-General's intention to initiate a process that will concretely define the future role of the United Nations in Afghanistan.”

5. “The narcotics industry and its accompanying corruption are clearly one of the biggest threats in building an effective and democratic Afghanistan, and deeply affect the country's long-term prospects for peace, stability and development. Opium poppy cultivation is one of the largest sources of illegal income. It serves to support criminal and factional agendas that aim to undermine the central Government. The Government of Afghanistan has demonstrated the necessary commitment, and has undertaken serious measures in order to deal with this issue, but there has thus far been no tangible progress. That is worrisome. If the current situation regarding illegal drug cultivation and trafficking continues, political progress, economic growth and social development will not be achieved and consolidated.”

6. “The same is true with regard to the positive results in the implementation of the demobilization and disarmament components of the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme. We hope that the extension of the programme to members of illegal armed groups will be equally effective. The international community stands firm in its commitment to create conditions of stability and security in the country, and it condemns all acts of violence and terrorism, which undermine the efforts of the Afghan people for a better future. Counter-narcotics activities are another important area in which the concerted efforts of the Afghan Government and the international community are needed to tackle the problem.”

7. “The key responsibility will lie with the Government and the people of Afghanistan, who will determine in which ways the international community can provide assistance so that their aspirations to peace, security, stability, democracy and economic development can be fully attained. There is no doubt that, among all the serious problems, security has proven to be the most difficult. The recent escalation in violence poses serious threats, and not only to the forthcoming elections. The murders of, and attacks against, international humanitarian personnel and those working for the reconstruction of Afghanistan are particularly deplorable. The commitment and engagement of the Afghan Government in that regard are crucial. The progress made in establishing and training the Afghan National Army and police officers is a hopeful development.”

8. “The parliamentary and provincial elections due to take place in Afghanistan on 18 September mark an important threshold in the country's long and difficult journey to a stable, peaceful and democratic future and the completion of the Bonn process. We are all very much aware of the many serious problems the country continues to face. Nevertheless, it is heartening to see the progress made in recent years, and we are encouraged by recent positive developments and the overall timely preparations for the upcoming elections. After the elections, a new process will begin.”

9. “Thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this debate and for the leading role Japan is playing in Afghanistan. First of all, I wish to extend our deepest condolences to the Government and the people of Spain on the recent loss of 17 Spanish soldiers while on a mission of peace. Our sincere thanks go to Mr. Arnault for his thorough presentation on the situation in Afghanistan. I wish to commend the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for its hard work, dedication and invaluable contribution towards helping the people of Afghanistan during these difficult and critical times. Greece fully aligns itself with the statement made by the Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom on behalf of the European Union. In addition, I would like to make the following remarks.”
