  1. “The OIC will continue to remain actively engaged as the work of the Commission evolves to tackle complex challenges. In conclusion, my delegation would like to reiterate the essential need for effective multilateralism through political engagement and dialogue, at the highest level and within an atmosphere of mutual respect, as a prerequisite for effective cooperation.”

  2. “As a mark of the OIC's commitment to address socio-economic problems that often serve as the root causes of conflict, our organization has launched a special fund for poverty alleviation in member States. The OIC has been mandated by its Ten-Year Programme of Action to strengthen its role in conflict prevention, confidence-building, peacekeeping, conflict resolution and post-conflict rehabilitation through enhanced cooperation with international and regional organizations. In this regard, the Secretary General of the OIC has personally taken an active role with regard to conflict resolution in several countries. In working actively within the mechanisms of the United Nations, the OIC attaches pre-eminent importance to its association with the Peacebuilding Commission.”

  3. “Just over a month ago, at the beginning of October, the Foreign Ministers of the OIC member States adopted a final communique, in which they unanimously reiterated the need for evolving common perceptions and agreed approaches to address both new and existing threats to international peace and security in the context of multilateralism. The OIC has time and again stated the view that approaching problems solely from the angle of security cannot lead to lasting and comprehensive solutions. Short-term solutions must give way to a proper understanding of the root causes of conflicts, which often lie in political grievances, backwardness and the underdeveloped situation of societies and their need for good governance.”

  4. “They also have an intimate understanding of the social, cultural, political and economic underpinnings of such conflicts and have the ability to identify and mobilize existing home-grown mechanisms to address them effectively and efficiently. It is critical to proactively engage the concerned regional and other intergovernmental organizations from the very early stages, when the signs of instability first begin to appear. For this to happen, greater emphasis must be placed upon multilateralism, where cooperation and dialogue take precedence over unilateralism and division.”

  5. “Mr. Wahab: Mr. Minister, it is indeed a great pleasure for my delegation to see you presiding over this important debate. The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is proud to have Indonesia as one of its active and important member States. The evolving nature of present-day conflicts and security challenges transcends national and even regional boundaries. The OIC believes that regional and intergovernmental organizations are better placed to assess the root causes of conflicts and, accordingly, to devise specific strategies to tackle them. They have a greater vested interest, as they are attempting to resolve challenges arising in their own backyard.”

  6. “Next week, Secretary General Ihsanoglu will be holding detailed consultations on the issue with leaders of the African Union and the League of Arab States here in New York. The OIC will continue to play an active and constructive role on the issue of Darfur at both the political and humanitarian levels, with the cooperation of the Government of the Sudan and in conformity with international legitimacy.”

  7. “The OIC reiterates its commitment to combating international terrorism in close cooperation with the rest of the international community. Although Secretary General Ihsanoglu was unable to attend this meeting, he looks forward to participating in the Security Council's meeting on cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, which you, Sir, have very kindly scheduled for 20 September. With regard to the Sudan situation, the OIC maintains that any deployment of a United Nations mission on the territory of the Sudan should be subject to the consent of the Government of the Sudan. The OIC Secretary General has been in contact with the Government of the Sudan. Last week, he held a useful discussion with the European Union's Special Representative for the Sudan, Mr. Pekka Haavisto.”

  8. “Mr. Wahab: On behalf of the Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), I would like to extend warm felicitations to you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this eventful month. I would also like to convey the OIC's appreciation to you and to all the other members of the Security Council for having invited us to take part in this open briefing on the Sudan situation. The OIC welcomes the presence of His Excellency Secretary-General Kofi Annan at today's meeting, and thanks him sincerely for his important statement. The Organization of the Islamic Conference joins the rest of the international community in condemning the heinous acts of terrorism committed on 11 September five years ago.”

  9. “Our delegation shares the view of the Secretary- General that it is essential for the international community to increase its awareness of the differential impact of conflict on women and girls and to address this issue in a comprehensive manner so as to enable it formulate a better strategy for specific responses. It is two years this week since the Security Council passed resolution 1325 (2000), a powerful, well-intentioned resolution that was received with appreciation throughout the world. The report of the Secretary-General - called for by the Council in the resolution - has now taken the process forward by bringing a set of 21 recommendations for action before the Council. It is our hope that the Council will move this process forward with appropriate pace and wisdom.”

  10. “We urge the Council to make a more conscious effort to integrate gender consciousness and perspectives into its decisions and resolutions. Needless to say, the contribution of all members and segments of society is required, if peace is to be maintained and conflict avoided. The involvement of women and girls is critical not only for any efforts in that direction, but also for the maintenance of the family, which remains the basic unit of society and, therefore, of social harmony. Any investment of resources in the education and protection of women is therefore an investment in the education and protection of society.”

  11. “As an extension of that idea, we urge the Secretary- General, using the existing extensive network of United Nations resources, to establish such a database throughout the developing world, so that it is ready to be tapped when needed, and not only during periods of conflict. The commitment of Indonesia to the advancement and protection of women in times of both peace and conflict is reflected in our national policies. Towards that end, we fully encourage the progress being made in the integration of a gender perspective into all aspects of the work of the United Nations, including within the Secretariat, as well as in peace processes, peacekeeping and humanitarian operations and reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts.”

  12. “In this connection, our delegation is of the view that the ninth recommendation for action, which calls for the full involvement of women in the negotiation of peace agreements at the national and international level, including through the provision of training for women and women's organizations on formal peace processes, merits further consideration by the international community. On a related issue, we offer our support for the expressed intention of the Secretary-General to establish a database of gender specialists and women's groups and networks in countries and regions in conflict. We share his encouragement, extended to Member States, donors and civil society in this regard, to provide financial, political and technical support for women's peace-building initiatives and networks.”

  13. “While recognizing the importance of considering the efforts being made by the Secretary-General on this issue, the delegation of Indonesia underlines the fact that such efforts and those already being undertaken in the Commission on the Status of Women are mutually reinforcing. Similarly, not only is the contribution of women and girls in the promotion of peace and peace processes becoming increasingly important, but it is also achieving greater recognition, and my delegation is happy to observe that development. The open support of the Security Council for the involvement of women and girls, as well as for the peace-oriented grass-roots organizations in which they are playing key roles, will go a long way to enhancing their political status and relevance.”

  14. “Many of these issues are particularly difficult to deal with after conflict has already broken out, but we believe that, if policies are already in place, it is easier for the international community to deal with any violations of established law. In this connection, we agree with the Secretary-General that there is a failure on the part of the international community to convert what is already known about the impact of conflict on women and girls into specific policies and planning and implementation processes in all peace operations, humanitarian activities and reconstruction efforts.”

  15. “We have come here today eager to participate in this debate, not only because of our complete faith in resolution 1325 (2000) and its commitment to improving the lot of women and girls during armed conflict, but because the advancement of women is accorded great importance as one of the priority national policies of Indonesia. As a signatory to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, Indonesia fully and willingly assumes responsibility for participating actively in international efforts to end discrimination against women. We have also continued to demonstrate our opposition to trafficking in women and girls and to violence against women migrant workers.”

  16. “The delegation of Indonesia would like to express its appreciation to you, Mr. President, for having convened this important open debate on women and peace and security, barely one week after the report of the Secretary-General was issued. In our view, this is a reflection of the importance that this subject deserves. Appreciation is also due to the Secretary-General for his detailed report, pursuant to Security Council resolution 1325 (2000), on this issue, and in particular for his 21 far-reaching recommendations towards strengthening and accelerating the implementation of the objectives contained in that resolution.”
