  1. “However, further complementary efforts are needed, as indicated in the strategic framework of the Joint Vision of the United Nations Family for Sierra Leone and in the Sierra Leone Peacebuilding Cooperation Framework. I should like to conclude by urging the Government of Sierra Leone to redouble its efforts. We reiterate our support for UNIPSIL and the work of the Sierra Leone configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission, and call for greater support from the international community for the processes under way in Sierra Leone.”

  2. “Clearly, we are dealing with a regional issue and it is therefore necessary to support and strengthen the capacity of regional bodies to address those and other issues, such as piracy, with a regional approach. The Government of Sierra Leone is facing challenges that we all know in its efforts to consolidate economic and social development, support a democratic Government, reform the security and justice sectors and integrate the country's youth into its economic and social structures. In that context, the support of the international community cannot be overlooked. The joint work of the Government and UNIPSIL in implementing President Koroma's Agenda for Change strategy is a step in the right direction.”

  3. “We also recognize the support provided by UNIPSIL and the Peacebuilding Commission to assist the Government in that fight. This Council must pay particular attention to the growing threat to security in Sierra Leone posed by drug trafficking, a problem that affects other countries in the region and requires a resolute response. Otherwise, all efforts made in other areas may be undermined and ultimately prove futile. That is why we believe it important for the Government and UNIPSIL to work together in implementing the Plan Action against Drug Trafficking and Related Organized Crime, based on the Regional Action Plan adopted by member States of the Economic Community of West African States.”

  4. “A system with stable institutions that strengthens rights and the rule of law is absolutely essential to consolidating peace, promoting development and actively contributing to the greater integration of Sierra Leone into international processes. However, we must be quite clear that, if they are to achieve their crucial role, building institutions and strengthening the rule of law require tackling corruption head on, which includes greater transparency in public management and accountability and strengthening a culture that fights impunity. In that regard, we recognize the work of the Anti-Corruption Commission and its efforts to involve civil society and other national interested parties in monitoring the implementation of a national strategy to combat corruption.”

  5. “My delegation believes that national reconciliation and unity in Sierra Leone are of the highest priority and require the participation and active commitment of all sectors of society. The ethnic and regional divisions in Sierra Leone should continue to be addressed - a task in which the multiparty Parliament of Sierra Leone has an important role. Another fundamental component in the national reconciliation process is the implementation of the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, in particular the reparations programme for victims of the conflict, which still needs greater international support. Equally urgent is the review of institution building.”

  6. “Ms. Villalobos (Costa Rica) (spoke in Spanish): Like previous speakers, Sir, I would like to congratulate you on assuming the presidency of the Council for the month of February, and to thank the delegation of France for its presidency in January. We would also like to thank the Executive Representative of the Secretary-General and head of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Sierra Leone (UNIPSIL), Mr. Von der Schulenberg, and the Permanent Representative of the Netherlands, Ambassador Frank Majoor, Chairman of the country- specific meeting on Sierra Leone within the Peacebuilding Commission, for their briefings and, in particular, the work they have undertaken to fulfil their mandates. We also thank Ambassador Touray, who spoke on behalf of the Government of Sierra Leone, for his statement.”
