“Mr. Wehbe (Syrian Arab Republic) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, allow me to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this important meeting on Afghanistan. I should also like to thank the Secretary- General for his report on the situation in Afghanistan and its implications for international peace and security. It is both comprehensive and detailed, and it comes at a very important juncture in Afghan political history. I should also like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the tireless efforts of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, whom we welcome among us today.”

“When the crisis in Sierra Leone was at its worst, the United Nations dispatched one of its largest missions, and its success was one of the most important lessons to be learned, as has been mentioned by everyone here, and as I mentioned at the beginning of my statement. What does the Security Council expect with regard to the crisis in Liberia? Are we going to wait until that crisis escalates further before addressing it, as we did in Sierra Leone? That question has implications for the lessons learned. I believe that the success of UNAMSIL is a good lesson for us, a lesson that we ought to draw on in Liberia. Otherwise, we believe that the intensity of the crisis could spread again to Sierra Leone, which would not lead to peace and security in the Mano River Union region.”

“The waves of refugees who are intermittently fleeing the fighting in Liberia are the best example of this, as stated by the Foreign Minister of Guinea in reply to your question, Madam President. Finding regional solutions to the problems of the region and reversing the destructive fighting in Liberia, in particular, are the key to maintaining and building on the success achieved in Sierra Leone, and the key to many chronic and thorny crises, such as those related to refugees. Finally, we believe that this successful experience can be repeated with political will on our part with respect to other regions in Africa, such as Somalia. In conclusion, I would like to pose the following question.”

“The success of the elections, the completion of the disarmament of ex-combatants and the progress achieved regarding the return and reintegration of many refugees and internally displaced persons mark the end of the current stage of the peace process and the beginning of a new stage. In that stage, the elected Government must strengthen the bases of stability and peace by moving towards national recovery. The country continues to require assistance from the international community. This leads us to comment briefly on the regional dimensions of the crises in the Mano river region, where refugees are among the most important factors. We look forward to our discussion of that issue this afternoon.”

“They prove that the international community's determination to bring about peace and security can be realized with the requisite political will, with clear resolutions adopted by the Security Council and with a clear mandate and adequate resources for a United Nations force. We have to preserve such a situation and build upon it. But completion requires reintegrating ex-combatants and confronting the problem of financial shortfalls. We believe that failure in this regard can represent a serious threat to the stability that has been realized so far. This in itself is another lesson to be learned.”

“The people of Sierra Leone and the elected Government under the presidency of Mr. Kabbah, deserve our congratulations on the success of those elections. The United Nations, particularly the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL), deserve appreciation and thanks for the essential contribution. We believe that the important role played by the United Nations is in itself a lesson to be learned and built upon in other African regions suffering similar conflicts. UNAMSIL's completion of the disarmament and demobilization of some 50,000 combatants and the achievement of peace and security in Sierra Leone constitute a success story.”

“Mr. Wehbe (Syrian Arab Republic) (spoke in Arabic): We welcome your presence in the Chair, Madam President, and we thank the delegation of the United Kingdom for convening this important meeting. Allow me also to welcome Mr. Momodu Koroma, Foreign Minister of Sierra Leone, and my friend and colleague Francois Fall, Foreign Minister of Guinea. The Foreign Ministers of Sierra Leone and Guinea; the Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Mr. Guehenno; the Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, Ms. McAskie; and the representatives who spoke before me in fact covered all the important lessons to be learned from the experience in Sierra Leone. Nevertheless, I would like to put forward the following points. The 14 May 2002 elections in Sierra Leone were a major landmark on the road to peace in that country.”

“Such an action is also outside the purview of the Security Council, whose principal task, as set out in the Charter, is the maintenance of international peace and security. The Security Council has discussed this question at length for the past two weeks. We are still hopeful and optimistic that the Council will be able to elaborate a proposal that would pave the way for a solution to this dilemma, within the framework of the safeguards available, so as to maintain the credibility of the Council while preserving the integrity of the Rome Statute and, most important, of peacekeeping forces as a whole.”

“We encourage further dialogue between States parties and signatories to the ICC Statute and those countries that have specific concerns and apprehensions so that such anxieties can be alleviated and a legal solution found that is in keeping with the provisions of the Rome Statute and that also preserves the integrity of peacekeeping operations, since such operations provide a lifeline for peace. Consequently, we all are in duty bound to maintain those peacekeeping operations and strengthen, enhance and consolidate them. In conclusion, we would stress once again that the Security Council does not have the right to take decisions under Chapter VII to amend an international treaty that has entered into force, because this would constitute a precedent that would destabilize and undermine the international legal regime.”

“That means that the Court will not be allowed to begin work unless it is proved that the national jurisdiction has collapsed. Prosecution will be able to proceed in the country concerned, overriding the jurisdiction of the ICC, unless it is clear that those national courts have not fulfilled their duties in accordance with the law - in other words, if those national courts have not tried cases in a manner commensurate with the nature of the crime. Furthermore, there are numerous legal safeguards in the Statute in case the jurisdiction of the ICC comes into play. The Syrian Arab Republic therefore believes that a suitable solution to this question must be found. Peacekeeping forces and their mandates should not be held hostage to arguments that do not concern them directly.”

“The whole world has freely and voluntarily created it to be just, fair and neutral and to try, without discrimination or exception, those accused of crimes against humanity, genocide, war crimes and other acts of aggression, after all the documents relevant to such acts of aggression are complete, noticing that the provision of such documents is being discussed currently. We are fully confident that the troops in peacekeeping forces will not perpetrate acts that will result in their prosecution by the ICC. The thresholds that need to be reached in order for a crime to fall within the jurisdiction of the ICC were decided upon by all the Members of the United Nations in the course of the preparatory and intersessional meetings. All cases before the ICC will be tried on the basis of complementarity.”

“We further reaffirm the importance of United Nations peacekeeping missions, working within their mandate to maintain stability and ensure conditions of calm in areas ravaged by conflict, in accordance with Security Council resolutions. The Secretary-General has made it clear in this respect that there is no historical precedent for peacekeeping forces perpetrating criminal acts and thus violating international law such that they would be accountable to the International Criminal Court. The ICC, whose Statute was adopted in Rome and which entered into force in July this year, has permanent jurisdiction.”

“Mr. Wehbe (Syrian Arab Republic) (spoke in Arabic): My delegation would like to express its appreciation and gratitude to you, Mr. President, for having convened this open meeting on peacekeeping operations and their relationship with the International Criminal Court (ICC). I should also like to join you in offering our warmest congratulation to the African Group on the creation of the African Union. Syria actively participated in all of the preparatory meetings held by the United Nations with a view to establishing the International Criminal Court. Syria has signed the Statute and is still playing an active role in all current preparatory meetings. We reiterate our interest in maintaining all the elements of international law.”

“Success depends also on concerted international efforts to combat all forms and manifestations of terrorism, as well as an analysis of its roots and causes. Combating terrorism requires all of us to make genuine and sincere efforts in different fields. It requires of the Security Council members in particular further coordination and concentration of efforts, particularly at the regional level. The Syrian Arab Republic, whose genuine contributions to combating terrorism are known to many States, will continue to do its utmost to achieve our common objectives. I now resume my function as President of the Security Council.”

“We note that a few States have been unable to submit their reports. This in no way is due to unwillingness to abide by the requirements of the resolution but rather is due to difficulties previously raised by the Committee Chairman at previous meetings. Syria welcomes the provision by the CTC of all forms of assistance - technical, financial and administrative - to these countries in the preparation of the requisite reports. The Chairman of the CTC presented to the Council a clear and precise work plan for the CTC's next phase. While Syria is determined to make every possible effort to ensure the realization of that work plan through its cooperation in meeting the expectations of Member States, we stress that guaranteed success depends primarily on the response from Member States.”

We also wish to thank the Secretary-General for facilitating the work of the Committee. The Committee, in previous phases of its work has been able to meet the requirements of its commitments and mandate primarily through the response of most Member States to the requirements of resolution 1373 (2001). Specifically, 159 requisite reports have been submitted to the Committee to date, with four more reports to come.”

Syria, which has made peace its strategic option, has made it clear that the peace it demands is one based on justice and the implementation of the resolutions of international legitimacy, and that peace cannot coexist with occupation.

Now, the international community and the Security Council must exert pressure on the Israeli leaders to implement relevant Security Council resolutions and must work once again to convince them that the Arabs have rights that they will never relinquish.”
