  1. “In the view of my delegation, the various experiences gained at the national, subregional, regional and international levels in combating the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict should be shared in order to bring into play the comparative advantages of each organization and country. Lastly, my delegation expresses the hope that this meeting will make it possible for us to plan future actions on the basis of experience gained in order to better discharge a common and historic duty: to bequeath to the next generation - that is, today's children - a world of peace, security, justice, progress and harmony.”

  2. “Clearly, the participation of my delegation in this meeting is based on the will of my Government to be fully involved in the efforts of the international community to effectively combat the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict. Even though Guinea itself has not been the theatre of armed conflict, it belongs to a continent, and in particular to a subregion, which has long been scarred by conflicts that have had a negative impact on the lives of countless children. My Government, aware of its responsibilities, has spared no effort to be involved in the search for a solution to conflicts in the subregion. Today we are encouraged by the process of peace and stabilization in the countries of the Mano River Union, Cote d'Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau. We invite the international community to give further support to that process.”

  3. “Thus, my delegation, which condemns rape and sexual violence during armed conflict, considers that in no situation should such violence serve as a weapon of war. We appeal to Member States to attach greater importance to the work of the 2008 Third Biennial Meeting of States to Consider the Implementation of the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects. The scope and tragic consequences of the illicit use of those weapons show that the fight against this scourge requires greater capabilities than those of national entities alone. Thus, it behoves the international community to draw up and implement specific measures for combating the scourge.”

  4. “In addition, the Security Council should carry out a comprehensive thematic evaluation of the protection of civilians in armed conflict, encompassing all the issues that have an impact on children and armed conflict: women, peace and security, small arms and light weapons and cross- border matters. We encourage, in particular cooperation between the Security Council and the Peacebuilding Commission, which in our opinion should take into account the issue of children and armed conflict. My delegation firmly supports a zero-tolerance policy and welcomes the adoption of a comprehensive strategy on assistance and support to victims of sexual exploitation and abuse. This will help the United Nations to help victims of sexual exploitation responsibly and in a coordinated manner.”

  5. “While welcoming the progress achieved by the parties, my delegation shares the concerns expressed in the report, supports the efforts under way and favours an in-depth consideration of the recommendations made by the Secretary-General. My delegation notes that the success of any action depends on cooperation. For that reason, we encourage partnership between United Nations bodies on the one hand and between those bodies and other national and international actors on the other, so that the question of children and armed conflict will have a positive outcome.”

  6. “In that respect, we welcome the fact that the Security Council has been dealing with this important matter on a permanent basis since 1999, with particular focus on the full implementation of relevant recommendations and the strengthening of measures to be taken at all levels to put a definitive end to the tragic consequences of conflicts on children worldwide. We appreciate the report in document S/2007/757, which provides useful information on compliance in ending the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict and also includes information on progress made in the establishment of a monitoring and reporting mechanism and in the development and implementation of action plans.”

  7. “The founding fathers of our Organization in adopting its Charter stressed, inter alia, the need for the peoples of the United Nations, "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom" and, to that end, "to unite [their] strength to maintain international peace and security." The conflicts of today, given their new dimensions, affect civilian populations more, in particular those who are the most vulnerable including, inter alia, children. The actions of the international community to find a solution to this situation are encouraging and should be supported.”

  8. “Mr. Zoumanigui (Guinea) (spoke in French): First, I wish to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your country's assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month and to thank you for organizing this meeting. I also wish to assure you of our complete cooperation. This is an opportunity for me to express our gratitude to His Excellency Mr. Giadalla Ettalhi, Permanent Representative of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab J amahiriya for the work achieved in the past month. Allow me to express to Ms. Coomaraswamy, Ms. Veneman and Ms. Becker our appreciation for the presentation of the report and for their statements which further enlightened us on this matter.”

  9. “Holkeri will be working on in close collaboration with the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government and, if needed, with other interested parties, will allow us to assess progress made by the Institutions in satisfying these standards. It is our hope that, based on progress made during periodic assessments, that the comprehensive review in 2005 of progress made will allow us to chart future strategies to resolve the Kosovo question, particularly with respect to final status determination. And finally, my delegation remains convinced that bringing about lasting peace in Kosovo depends on the ongoing commitment of all the Kosovars to ignore their differences and their senseless quarrels and to focus on questions of common concern so as to promote the general welfare.”

  10. “With respect to the Kosovo Protection Corps, my delegation continues to emphasize that they must maintain their legal status to avoid any ambiguity. In this respect, we would encourage the actions taken by UNMIK and the Kosovo Force to better structure and better operate this institution. Settling the question of Kosovo requires the international community, and particularly the Kosovars, to better assume their responsibilities in implementing resolution 1244 (1999). My delegation is pleased with the launching on 5 November 2003, in Belgrade and Pristina, of a review mechanism, which gives new impetus to implementation of standards before status, and we therefore support the statement made last Friday on this subject by the President of the Security Council. We are of the view that the implementation plan that Mr.”

  11. “With respect to the economy, we must strengthen the current legislative and administrative framework, focus more attention on job creation and on the regional dimension of economic exchanges, and define the appropriate mechanisms to that end. My delegation is pleased with the establishment by Mr. Holkeri of a special group tasked with detecting possible fraudulent and corrupt activities in UNMIK and in institutions that operate on public money, and we hope that the work of this group will provide definitive results. With respect to the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade, the different parties must do some bold thinking to continue to look for peaceful solutions to problems of common concern for the benefit of their people and for the region.”

  12. “Nenad Radosavljevic as a Senior Adviser to UNMIK on repatriation and effective integration of ethnic minorities and the setting up of a special group to speed up the return of refugees and facilitate their reintegration and the restitution of their property, are welcome developments. Now we need to support those mechanisms by giving them the necessary resources. The input of the international community, in particular the donor community, will be extremely useful in that regard. The same applies for housing and real estate programmes. In that connection, the efforts of UNMIK and the United Nations Development Programme, which have facilitated the start of construction on 50 homes, should also be supported.”

  13. “My delegation appreciates the special security measures taken by the multinational forces and the local units, following information received concerning possible attacks against international organizations in Kosovo. In that regard, we would like to emphasize once again the need to consolidate existing mechanisms in order to improve the operation of the police services, the justice system and prisons, in order to facilitate equal access to justice and to combat impunity. On the question of freedom of movement and maintaining the cultural heritage of each community, the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government should focus their efforts on developing a culture of mutual acceptance among the different communities. In addition, the appointment of Mr.”

  14. “Kosovar leaders have to make greater efforts towards reconciliation, avoiding any action that might deepen existing divisions, while cooperating with UNMIK. Particular attention should be paid to the media so that they can function to increase public awareness among the various communities. Developing professional and independent media that will be better able to assume their responsibilities will require significant assistance. In regard to the establishment of the rule of law, the various murders that have occurred recently and the attack on a World Bank delegation in the northern sector of Mitrovica on 6 December demonstrate that security continues to be an issue of real concern.”

  15. “My delegation is pleased with the progress made so far and we consider that it is now up to all the participants and all sectors in Kosovo to come together and consolidate their efforts in a spirit of tolerance and unity, so that they can assume their responsibilities in the search for adequate solutions to the issues that remain unresolved. A recent evaluation of the situation in Kosovo leads my delegation to make the following observations. The leaders of the democratic Provisional Institutions of Self-Government must act in strict compliance with the powers given to them under the Constitutional Framework. In that regard, we support the position taken by Mr. Holkeri following the Assembly's 11 September 2003 decision to abrogate all laws relative to Kosovo enacted in Yugoslavia and Serbia after 22 March 1989.”

  16. “Two years later, it should be noted that that progress has been followed up by other, equally important, advances, even though serious concerns still remain, including the effective establishment of political and administrative institutions in Kosovo; high-level meetings between UNMIK representatives and the Belgrade authorities, particularly the one held on 21 January 2002 on the question of missing, detained or repatriated persons; the conversion of transitional departments into provisional self- government ministries; the expansion of the UNMIK administration into the northern part of Mitrovica; the gradual transfer of powers to the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government; and the holding of municipal elections.”

  17. “That progress included, among other things: the promulgation of the Constitutional Framework; the signing, on 5 November 2001, of a common document between the Government of the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK); the successful legislative elections held on 17 November 2001; and the establishment, on 10 December 2001, of the Kosovo Assembly, along with the election of the Assembly's President.”

  18. “Mr. Zoumanigui (Guinea) (spoke in French): First, on behalf of my delegation, I would like to welcome you, Mr. President, and say how pleased we are that you are presiding over our work on the question before us. I would also like to thank Mr. Guehenno for his briefing, which sheds new light on recent developments in Kosovo. The constant attention the Council has dedicated to the question of Kosovo emanates from its will and determination to make a contribution to the implementation of resolution 1244 (1999). At the Council's meeting on 21 January 2002, my delegation welcomed the progress made in implementing that resolution over the course of the prior year.”
