本报告根据大会第63/124号决议编写，其中大会决定将题为“跨界含水层法”的项目列入大会第六十六届会议临时议程，以便审查此议题相关条款草案可采取的形式等问题。", "2. 秘书长在2009年1月2日的通告中提请各国政府注意该决议，并于2009年12月和2011年2月发出了催复通知。", "二. 从各国政府收到的评论和意见", "阿尔及利亚", "3. 阿尔及利亚强调：(a) 必须准确了解水资源的共有程度、水量和质量；(b) 必须通过妥善保护和真诚合作，将有关国家可持续发展的环境层面纳入考虑，以公平和合理地使用含水层；(c) 需要强化国家条例措施以及双边或次区域合作机制，以确保有效保护含水层的水资源，使之不受各种形式的污染；(d) 必须保护共有含水层国家获得其发展所需的足够水量的权利；(e) 必须引进机制，以交流关于共有水资源及其综合管理条件的信息和知识。", "4. 阿尔及利亚强调，共有含水层国家必须缔结协议并引进共同合作机制，以开展双边合作和区域合作。阿尔及利亚表示愿意提供充分合作，以便在第六十六届会议上审议对条款草案采取后续行动的最佳方法。", "阿根廷、巴西、巴拉圭和乌拉圭", "5. 阿根廷、巴西、巴拉圭和乌拉圭表示，四国外长已于2010年8月2日在阿根廷圣胡安签署《瓜拉尼含水层协议》。四个签署国的立法机构目前正在审批这一协议。四国外交部长还在同一天签署《联合宣言》，重申他们为及时和有效地实施这一协议而在有关方案的构成部分取得必要进展的政治意愿。[1]", "6. 《协议》力求加强缔约国之间的合作与统筹，并且扩大了协同行动的范围，以保护和可持续地使用其境内瓜拉尼含水层系统的跨界水资源，因此是一个特别重要的政治和技术文书。", "7. 《协议》除其它外，考虑到了大会关于天然资源永久主权的第1803(XVII)号决议和关于跨界含水层法的第63/124号决议，并铭记1972年《关于人类环境的斯德哥尔摩宣言》和1992年《关于环境与发展的里约宣言》。《协议》是该区域所作的一个重要贡献，因为它是第一个有关跨界含水层活动的国际协议。", "奥地利", "8. 奥地利表示，在第六十六届会议上就条款草案的最终形式作出决定不合时宜。", "9. 鉴于关于此问题的国家实践尚处形成阶段，应该在稍后阶段审议最终形式的问题。这样可以有时间评估目前起草的条款能否经受时间的考验。", "中国", "10. 中国表示，条款草案第1条(b)款涵盖工业、农业、林业和其他领域，其范围似乎过于广泛。应该将“影响”这一限定词改为“重大影响”。", "11. 第7条⑵款草案应修改为：“含水层国可设立联合合作机制”；不宜强制规定这一措施，从而最妥善地尊重各国的意愿。", "12. 对于第8条草案，含水层国加强交流数据和资料应以不违反其法律为限。目前草案中所作的规定过于严格，其例外情况仅限于国防或国家安全领域 (第19条草案)。考虑到一些国家对向外国提供相关数据有限制，应该对其它可能的数据和资料交流限制做出必要的规定。", "13. 关于向发展中国家提供技术和资金援助的第16条草案的内容应予加强。发展中国家在跨界含水层合作中发挥的作用有限，其管理此种含水层的能力普遍较弱。因此，应进一步增加呼吁发达国家向发展中国家提供技术和资金援助的内容。", "14. 关于最终形式，制定跨界含水层公约的条件尚不成熟。跨界含水层具有一定的复杂性，在目前缺乏此方面广泛国家实践的情况下不应急于制定关于这一问题的国际法规则。条款草案可作为相关领域国家实践的一般性指导原则，即采用不具有法律约束力的决议或宣言的形式。", "15. 中国保留就条款草案进一步发表意见的权利。", "哥伦比亚", "16. 关于序言部分第2段，哥伦比亚表示，虽然条款草案中触及跨界含水层及其管理，但对于在条款草案基础上草拟一项公约的问题，有必要谨慎从事。有必要确定如何适用一项国际性、具有法律约束力的文书以及这一文书是否符合有关国家利益。", "17. 关于第2条草案，应该在“含水层系统”的定义末尾加上“及其与地表水的水文联系”。在“有补给含水层”的定义中，应该具体说明“相当补给水量”概念的范围；不然的话，对“相当”的解释就难免主观。“补给区”的现行定义包括含水层供水区的地表和底土两部分。应当以操作性用语具体指明“排泄区”是否包括含水层的人造和非天然出水口，因为文中所举的天然个例不过是举例说明而已。", "18. 关于第4条草案，总体而言，必须修改其中用来说明含水层资源利用率的标准。具体地说，“合理”这个标准非常主观，没有明确界定妥善管理资源的要素。(c)项中关于联合管理跨界湖流的“全面利用规划”的意思不清楚。此外，应该明确(d)项中“持续保持有效功能”的含意。它是否意味着抽取一部分同期补给的水量？对没有同期补给水量的含水层有什么利用限制？", "19. 第5条⑴款(b)项草案所指的“其他需要”可能过于宽泛，最终会有损公平地考虑各国在管理含水层方面的利益和需要。关于第5条草案所列的各项因素，第⑴款(d)项涉及对含水层或含水层系统的形成和水补给所起的作用，但范围不清楚，因为含水层的形成与其可持续使用的标准之间没有明显的联系；而且对含水层的形成“所起的作用”也含意不清。此外还应确定“对含水层……水补给所起的作用”是否适用于某种经济活动所产生的水，诸如灌溉以及导水管和排水沟渗漏的水。此外，究竟由谁来确定第5条⑴款草案中每个因素的权重，这一点并不明确，尤其是如果两个以上国家管理同一个含水层的话，因为对每个国家而言，各因素的重要性均可能不同。", "20. 关于第6条草案，该条标题的西班牙文译得不妥。在英文中，“重大损害”的意思是“重大或相当程度的损害”。但西班牙文形容词“sensible”并没有清楚表述损害程度。关于第3款，造成损害后应采取的适当行动是减轻、赔偿或补救，而不是消除。此外，该条款草案中没有考虑因地下水被污染物污染而造成的损害。", "21. 第8条⑴款草案将水文化学的有关资料列入水文地质资料的交流内容，却丝毫没有提到关于含水层易受污染这一固有风险的资料，也未提及关于土地的当前用途或可能用途的资料。第2款中必须界定提供缺失资料的工作范围、方法和规程，以确保可靠性和可比性。", "22. 关于第10条草案，应该对本条的范围是否应包括与含水层有关的生物多样性作出评价。生物多样性的概念包括生态系统，而不仅仅是地理位置和依赖性这些非常局限并且多少有些固定不变的概念。", "23. 关于第11条⑵款草案，应该提及商定为补给区或排泄区全部或部分位于其境内的国家提供的经济奖励，以保护这些区。", "24. 第13条⑵款草案应该具体说明以含水层或含水层系统的商定概念模型为基础进行监测的频率。", "25. 关于第15条⑵款草案，应该规定实施或允许实施可能影响跨界含水层或含水层系统的一国向另一国发出通知的时限。还应该具体说明所涉义务的范围，因为相关理由并不明确(例如，另一国可能有“正当理由”相信某活动会影响含水层)。同样，应该考虑实施这种活动的可能性以及所涉国家有办法作此评估的可能程度。此外，应该将这一义务理解为对边界地区有关项目或活动的一种限制，尽管也可以认为现有的环境评估和适用这种活动的许可证规定已包含这一点。", "26. 关于第17条草案，应该具体说明因人类行为引发的“紧急情况”这一概念是否意味着有理由追究行政责任以及这种责任将如何与豁免或减轻责任的理由相联系，例如不可抗力或意外情况。第2款(b)项中的“消除”指的是紧急情况的有害影响，应该根据对第6条草案提出的建议，将其改为“补救”(见上文第20段)。", "捷克共和国", "27. 捷克共和国表示，条款草案大多涉及利用地下水资源和对已规划活动的影响进行有关评估；对作为环境一大要素的地下水质量和数量的保护则关注得较少——例如，条款草案中未述及坚持不懈地改善地下水质量的必要性。第6和第12条草案中使用的“重大损害”一词把门槛定得过高，应予重新考虑。", "28. 应该在第15条⑶款草案中要求有关国家在进行协商和谈判期间，不实施或允许实施已经规划的可能严重影响跨界含水层的活动。1997年的《国际水道非航行使用法公约》第17条⑶款就载有一项类似规定。", "29. 关于最终形式的问题，捷克共和国表示，以往在讨论委员会涉及条款草案的工作时，捷克共和国曾赞成将来在条款草案基础上缔结一项国际公约。与此同时，捷克共和国也认识到，条款草案将作为订立双边协议和区域协议的指南。这一过程还远远没有完成，因为第六委员会在辩论中提出了其他需要审议的问题。因此，只有在评估了是否应该以及如何在双边和区域级别上反映条款草案中载述的原则，并且在大会讨论了这类其他问题之后，才会形成关于最终形式的确切立场。", "丹麦", "30. 丹麦表示，它没有跨界含水层。", "埃及", "31. 应该将所有条款草案中的“跨界含水层”都改为“共有跨界含水层”；将“跨界含水层或含水层系统”改为“共有跨界含水层或共有含水层系统”。", "32. 关于条款草案中的技术术语，应该采用阿拉伯文参考材料中的标准定义，而不是从英文直译。这些一般性意见尤其适用于第7至第17条和第19条。", "33. 关于第1条(b)款草案，“其他活动”非常笼统，有可能造成误解，除非对“活动”作出解释。", "34. 关于第2条草案，应该采用阿拉伯文参考材料中的标准定义，而不是从英文直译。", "35. 关于第3条草案，在“行使主权”一语之前应该加上“对共同所有规则”等字。", "36. 第4条(c)款草案中的“和替代水源”应予删除。地下水不应被视为地表水的替代物，反之亦然，因为两者同源；“替代水源”不应该是制订全面利用计划的一个因素。", "37. 第5条⑴款(g)项草案应予删除。提议删除的理由同第4条(c)款草案(见上文第36段)。", "38. 关于第6条⑶款草案，应该对重大损害作出明确规定，要求因其活动而造成重大损害的含水层国采取一切改正措施，消除或减轻这种损害。应该在该条中明确规定实施程序和负责当局。", "39. 建议酌情在第18条草案中添加“并在被占领区域”等字。", "40. 应该增加一条新的关于解决争端的第20条草案 ，案文如下：“如果对本协议条款的任何解释或者在其适用方面存在异议和争端，则含水层国双方可援用《联合国宪章》第33条解决争端，除非所涉含水层国双方商定采用其他办法”。", "萨尔瓦多", "41. 萨尔瓦多表示，从保护自然资源这一较广泛角度来说，此问题有着极为重要的意义，因为含水层是地球储存淡水的最大水库和战略储备。", "42. 条款草案是在国家实践以及现有一些双边协议和国际协议基础上拟就的，其中为反映新风险和新现实而增加了新的操作规则。", "43. 序言部分承认并准确评估了地下水资源对全世界所有区域的极端重要性和维生意义。这应该成为解释每一条款(主要是保护和管理含水层的条款)的参照基准。此外，条款草案平衡了各国的权利和义务，既承认国家对位于其境内的含水层拥有主权，又确认必须按照条款草案和国际法规定的所有义务行使这种主权。", "44. 条款草案中阐述的义务符合国际环境法所承认的一般原则，因而构成现有法典的有机组成部分，其用意在于促进可持续发展、利用共有自然资源、尊重防范和预防原则以及在主权和责任之间实现和谐平衡。这一概念适用于一般国际法。", "45. 过度污染对水资源造成的破坏及动植物物种灭绝等某些过程具有不可逆转性，而且即使在可以做到的情况下，要把环境恢复到以往状态也需要高昂费用。有鉴于此，在环境保护方面，萨尔瓦多特别强调预防义务这一基本准则。这一义务必须以第14条草案中规定的“适当管理”作为辅助，因为这一概念包含了全部为最大限度地从含水层使用中实现长期惠益，同时保护和保全含水层而采取的措施。", "46. 虽然这些条款草案没有阐明不履行上述义务的后果，但它们应该以关于国家责任的现有准则作为补充，无论是国家对造成严重环境损害的不法行为或合法行为的责任。这些国家责任准则在国际法中得到了广泛承认，并且已由国际法委员会加以发展。此外，关于危险活动所致跨界损害的损失分配的原则(第61／36号决议，附件)具有双重目的：一方面是要确保对跨界损害受害人迅速作出充分赔偿，另一方面是要在发生跨界损害时保全和保护环境，特别是在减轻对环境的破坏以及恢复或修复环境方面。在这方面，国际法院关于以核武器进行威胁或使用核武器的合法性的咨询意见确认，各国的一般义务包括确保在其管辖范围内或在其控制下从事的活动尊重其他国家或本国管辖范围以外地区的环境，此义务现已成为与环境有关的国际法主体的一部分。", "47. 萨尔瓦多赞同在条款草案中列入含水层所在国以及普遍各国的国家义务，因为含水层是一种必须加以保护的资源，不仅对于特定地理区域的人口而且对于全体人类和后代都十分重要。例如，关于武装冲突期间的保护的第18条草案就反映了这一点。该条款规定，必须加强《日内瓦四公约》及其《附加议定书》所确立的义务，直接要求各国保护本国的水资源，因为水资源不仅具有内在价值，而且也与平民人口的基本需求密切相关。", "48. 关于与发展中国家技术合作的第16条草案也体现了这一全面看法，其中要求所有具备能力和资源的国家——不只是共有含水层的国家——均应参与双边进程，以推动为保护和管理这些重要水资源开展的科学、教育、技术、法律和其他合作。", "49. 关于最终形式的决定依然至关重要，因为这将决定条款草案今后在国际范围的实际执行。萨尔瓦多建议对该草案的主要规范重点加以分析。含水层不是孤立因素，而是一个也包含人类的综合系统的组成部分，而且含水层甚至对各国可持续发展的其他相关活动产生影响，例如农业和畜牧业。还应铭记，这种资源不仅在生活中不可或缺，而且十分脆弱甚至实质上不可替代，因此各国必须立即采取切实行动。基于这些考虑，萨尔瓦多认为，条款草案的最终形式应确保条款草案全面发挥效力，并应有利于采取适当措施，制止由于人口高度增长和快速经济发展等因素造成的地下水资源过量开采和污染。从法律角度来看，公约将成为一项具有约束力的文书，通过体现各国的主权意志，使这些措施可以得到强制执行。然而，由于个体国家可以选择不采纳此公约，从而使公约受制于个体国家的意志，因此公约并不是确保产生效力的唯一手段。归根结底，为了达成一项可以保障跨界含水层真正得到保护的协定，最后的辩论应把重点放在所采用的形式上，以最妥善地确保绝大多数国家执行条款草案。", "法国", "50. 法国重申支持委员会报告(A/63/10)第49段所载的委员会向大会提出的建议。", "51. 鉴于这一议题具有复杂性并牵涉潜在的科学问题，各国需要对条款草案作一番彻底审查。因此，需要分阶段进行：首先，应让各国有时间根据本国实践评价条款草案，并在必要时作出双边或区域安排。其后，大会才能够在国家实践基础上决定是否根据条款草案拟订一项公约。", "黎巴嫩", "52. 黎巴嫩表示，一些条款类似于、甚至可以说是完全取自1997年《国际水道非航行使用法公约》。", "53. 第2条(a)款草案对“含水层”的界定应该更加详细。例如，学术文献中指出，存在着承压含水层、无压含水层、可再生含水层和化石含水层。", "54. 条款草案的对象是彼此保持睦邻友好关系国家，而不是处于冲突或战争状态的国家。条款草案有赖于参与国之间的善意，并且有赖于有着正常关系以及事实上有着良好关系的国家，而不是处于冲突状态的国家。", "55. 最好应由水文地质学家来确定技术方面的内容，然后由律师参与拟订法律模式。", "56. 第2条(b)款草案不够明确。有必要开展进一步水文研究，以确定含水层之间何时存在水文联系。此外，根本问题在于确定含水层的界限。第2条(c)款草案中使用了“跨界”一词，而1997年《公约》则使用“国际”一词：其第2条(b)款规定，“‘国际水道’是指其组成部分位于不同国家的水道”。除非有理由，在两个术语之间作出取舍是不明智的，这尤其是鉴于两个术语的定义在《公约》和条款草案中是相同的。第2条(d)款草案中没有提到“跨界含水层”这一术语涵盖了补给区和排泄区。两者均可位于不同国家境内。第2条(h)款草案给“排泄区”下的定义是：含水层的水流向水道、湖泊等出口的区域。然而，1997年《公约》早已将“水道”界定为：“地面水和地下水的系统，由于它们之间的自然关系，构成一个整体单元，并且通常流入共同的终点”(第2条(a)款)。这构成“无压含水层”的定义。因此，“排泄区”的定义与1997年《公约》中国际含水层的定义重叠，应予以修正，以避免重复，或避免在涉及权利和义务时出现应适用这两项文书中的哪一个的争议。", "57. 第3条草案同其后对限制和条件作出规定的条款草案之间存在一个矛盾，日后在适用上可能引起争议。此外，含水层主权的概念与1997年《公约》中订立的参与概念互相矛盾。", "58. 计算第4条(c)款草案所述的当前需求也许很容易，但要计算今后的需求则可能并非易事。每个含水层国都可能夸大数字，导致使用计划难以落实，除非有关国家在彼此平等合作方面有足够的善意。鉴于存在利益冲突，这一点并不现实，而且公平合理的利用将取决于善意，而不取决于对有关国家具有约束力的法律规定。", "59. 关于第4条(d)款草案，较为科学和易于理解的术语应该是“可持续”，而不是“妨碍其持续保持有效功能”中的“有效”一词。其中也未提及不可再生的化石含水层，因为这种含水层不具备任何已知的补给区或排泄区，例如位于乍得、埃及、阿拉伯利比亚民众国和苏丹的努比亚含水层；位于阿尔及利亚和突尼斯而且可能延伸到阿拉伯利比亚民众国和摩洛哥的含水层；位于约旦和沙特阿拉伯的迪斯含水层。", "60. 关于第5条(1)款草案，所有与确定公平合理使用有关的因素都要求各国做到真实可信，并要求数字可靠。在关于依赖含水层的人口的第5条(1)款(a)项草案中，应提及现有居民人口及今后的自然增长，而不是移民造成的人为增长。第5条(2)款草案要求各国做到真实可信，并要求数字可靠。不能依赖这一法律来确保权利受到尊重，以及使用情况做到公平合理。", "61. 第6条草案提到含水层国对防止造成重大损害的义务，但没有提到补给区所在国负有不用尽或污染为含水层提供补给的水源的义务。", "62. 关于第11条第(1)款草案，所出现的问题是，如何根据第3条草案的规定，对补给区和排泄区进行核查，同时也尊重主权。", "63. 关于第11条(2)款草案，只要各国没有从与补给区和排泄区相连的含水层直接受益，就无从迫使其提供合作。这进一步表明，各国必须诚实守信地开展相互合作，并把人道主义关切置于自身利益之上。我们只能重申，条款草案中的大多数规定将依赖善意原则。", "64. 在第12条草案中，“审慎”一词在阿拉伯文中不够有力。此外，应该用一种更有力的表述取代“重大损害”一语，因为含水层污染的严重性超过地表水污染。需要很长时间才能消除这种污染造成的损害，更遑论对这种污染进行核实需要作出可能被认为是侵犯主权的披露。", "65. 第14条草案再次提出善意问题，这是因为所设想的机制需要各国开展合作，放弃本国的私利。在这方面，必须探讨订立一项法律来保护权利。此外，在“含水层国”定义中应包括更多的补给区和排泄区，以便让位于这些补给区和排泄区的国家在管理方面发挥作用，从而确保进行完善、综合的水管理。", "66. 第15条(2)款草案中提到可能影响含水层的已规划活动。这与第6条草案相符合，该条提及不造成重大损害的义务。第3段规定设立一个机制来解决因环境影响而引起的冲突。除非双方愿意达成一项解决办法，这种冲突将是永无休止的。该段还提到设立一个独立的事实调查机构，便于各国要求作出公正的评估，但并没有说明这一机构的组成。", "67. 关于第17条(3)款草案，应增加一些词语，其大意是：这种措施应属临时性质，在解除紧急状态后则不应继续。", "阿拉伯利比亚民众国", "68. 阿拉伯利比亚民众国表示，条款草案的标题“跨界含水层法”这几个字应改为“共有国际含水层法”。", "69. 应对整个案文中某些用词用语的阿拉伯文翻译进行调整，特别是第2条(a)款、第2条(b)款、第2条(g)款、第5条(1)款(a)项、第8条(2)款、第8条(3)款、第8条(4)款、第10条、第11条(1)款和第13条(2)款。", "70. 该法涉及公平开发共有含水层，并考虑到当前和今后的需求以及替代来源，但没有确定利用这些含水层的优先次序。", "71. 为了维护历史形成的既得权利，该法不应适用于已在进行的项目。", "72. 第4条草案中必须对公平合理利用订立一个明确定义。", "73. 第5条(1)款(c)项草案中应提出自然特征的定义。该定义中应包括面积、范围、厚度、水流方向以及水文和化学特征。在第5条(1)款(d)项草案中，应以“对形成和补给所起作用的大小”取代“对形成和补给所起的作用”。", "74. 第10条草案开头部分应该为：“含水层国应采取一切适当措施，保护和保全其跨界含水层或含水层系统所在区内的生态系统或依赖这些含水层或含水层系统生存的生态系统……”。", "75. 需要对第11条(2)款草案作出进一步说明。", "墨西哥", "76. 墨西哥表示，条款草案涵盖广泛一系列重要问题。", "77. 从长远来看，在一项国际法律文书中阐述这些问题是很适当的。然而，在着手就一项具有约束力的文书展开谈判之前，应留出足够时间来进行进一步思考。各国可在这段时间里继续强化区域和双边实践，这样可以对之后可能拟订的一项国际文书提供投入。就这一条约进行的任何谈判都应保证，各国根据其他相关国际协定承担的权利和义务得到保障。", "78. 该项目应继续列入大会议程，并应在几年后再次讨论，以便进行一段时间的思考，其间也探讨各国的做法是否符合条款草案。", "阿曼", "79. 阿曼表示，应当在第4条草案中增加(e)项，其内容为：“任何含水层国均不得在本法通过之前期间寻求赔偿”。", "80. 第5条(1)款(d)项草案结尾应增加一个短语，内容为：“其中应考虑到根据含水层国之间有待缔结的协定而确立的相对利用情况”。", "81. 在第6条(2)款草案的结尾应添加一句话，内容为“应在跨界含水层或含水层系统范围内有关地区自然资源利用或开采所造成的损害同这些地区工业项目污染地下水库所造成的损害之间进行区分”。", "82. 应对整个案文中某些用词用语的阿拉伯文翻译进行调整，特别是第2条(e)款和第8条(3)款草案。", "巴拿马", "83. 巴拿马表示，联合国教育、科学及文化组织(教科文组织)在拉丁美洲开展的国际水文方案推动在美洲实施了教科文组织/美洲国家组织共同提出的国际共有含水层资源管理倡议。该方案于2000年启动，巴拿马在2006年开始参与。就巴拿马和哥斯达黎加共有的Sixaola河含水层而言，仅做了一般性工作；就巴拿马-哥伦比亚共有的胡拉多含水层而言，工作则尚未开始。", "84. 巴拿马建议对现有中美洲水协定进行审查，并采取一种区域做法，以鼓励在划定含水层和商定推定权利方面寻求国际水文方案专家的协助——这是该区域尚未解决的一个问题。巴拿马因此认为，不应通过核准一项普遍适用的解决办法来解决一个地方问题。", "菲律宾", "85. 菲律宾表示，“跨界含水层法”是一项具有历史性意义的重大全球倡议，为在地方和区域两级妥善管理淡水资源订立了一个重要的框架战略。", "86. 淡水的流动及其水流动态非常受使用同一含水层系统的各国的吸采率和排放率差异以及含水层结构和补给率的左右。因此，每个国家都应在平等公平共享的基础上承担保护、养护和可持续开发跨界含水层的责任。", "87. 有必要对跨界含水层的范围及其水质状况作一番全面评估。含水层系统超越国家政治界限，因而在含水层管理方面所采取的做法应以集水盆地为基础，因为水流特性同江河流域和集水盆地的水文地质特征及江河流域地形界线有着密切关联。此外还必须完成跨界含水层的绘图工作，并建立含水层信息和管理系统以及特别、具有时间性的资源管理制度，以便拟订政策和作出决策。", "88. 应当制定一项适用于所有国家的法律，以妥善监管含水层系统的使用，对这一资源进行非强制性的可持续管理。", "89. 应从水文地质构成和水面影响的角度对跨界含水层作出适当界定。在指定严重消耗的含水层系统或“热点”的时候，需要优先作出双边或区域安排。此外还需要适当地管理和保护补给区，以最大限度地提高含水层系统的水位。另外还必须确定管理战略和原则、当前值及含水层系统所受威胁，而且也需要订立双边和区域责任。", "葡萄牙", "90. 葡萄牙重申，条款草案可以对妥善管理世界各地现有跨界含水层作出积极贡献。", "91. 关于所采用的形式，葡萄牙再次表示认为，条款草案应发展成为一项国际框架公约。", "沙特阿拉伯", "92. 沙特阿拉伯评论说，条款草案似乎并未触及以下问题：(a) 防止含水地层内侧向、斜向或横向挖掘；(b) 缺少对非含水层国其他各方的供应；(c) 事实上应考虑到含水层的不同面积、范围和厚度，含水层特点及流动方向，以及一国与另一国在人口规模上的差异；(d) 污染物的使用及其对含水层或水系统的影响。", "93. 条款草案未区分少雨干旱的沙漠区域和含水层众多的区域。因此，必须把沙漠区域跨界含水层的利用定为优先事项，其中第一优先应是饮用水。", "94. 条款草案触及看不见的地下水源，而实际上没有足够数据和信息可供了解广泛各类地下地质构造，包括可能会阻碍和影响含水层流速的裂隙和褶皱。但条款草案并未考虑到这些因素。", "95. 应建立一种机制，以便分享在跨界含水层水管理实验中获得的成功经验。", "96. 条款草案的规定涵盖含水层和地下水网络。但是，某些条款，例如第6条(2)款、第7条(1)款、第8条和第9条，仅提及含水层，而未提及其它网络。", "97. 第1条草案的起首部分应改为：“本条款草案旨在规范以下情况：”。应添加新的第1条(d)款草案，内容为：“应为共有地下水和含水层的使用确定优先事项。”", "98. 第2条(a)款草案应修改为：“‘含水层’系指渗透性含水地质层，一个透水性较弱的地层以及该地质层饱和带所含之水可能会也可能不会外接于、叠置于或下伏于该地质层”。", "99. 关于第4条草案，应给公平合理利用的原则一个确切的定义。条款草案未以明晰的方式处理与不可再生含水层、沙漠区域含水层或降雨丰沛区域含水层相关的问题。第4条(c)款草案给变化和不确定性留下了空间：各国的需求会波动，因而最好应确立固定的规则。第4条(d)款草案不明确，需要加以澄清或重拟。应增添一个新的第4条(e)款草案，内容为：“任何国家不得向任何非相关跨界含水层或另一含水层的接壤国放弃、租赁或出售该含水层的全部或部分使用权”。", "100.　第5条(1)款(c)项草案应修改为：“应根据每个国家境内含水层或含水层系统的自然特性加以利用”。此外，还应增列一项要素如下：“(j)应考虑到含水层的面积、范围和厚度，含水层特点及流动方向”。", "101.　关于第6条草案，必须对不可逆转的损害作出明确的规定，造成此种损害的国家必须提供赔偿。此外还必须规定提供此类损害赔偿的方式并指明有责任提供赔偿的实体。", "102.　关于第7条草案，“主权平等”和“领土完整”原则需要更具体阐述，因为含水层不同于地表水(河流)，而且很难对含水层适用这些条款。", "103.　关于第9条草案，双边安排有正面也有负面特点。不过，“不利影响”的表述很含糊，需要更具体说明或界定，以确保它不被曲解。若不对所述不利影响作出更清晰的界定，这种提法就可能赋予一国或多国以否决权。关于该条草案的评注第2段，(“当某项协定或安排是针对整个含水层或含水层系统时，除极个别情况外，共同拥有同一含水层或含水层系统的所有含水层国很可能被包括在内”)中“极个别情况”的提法需要加以说明。", "104.　第12条草案应更详细说明“审慎态度”的含义，并清楚阐明随之而来的国家义务。", "105.　在第16条草案中，应具体说明“各国应……促进”一语中“各国”的含义；如果这意味着世界各国，就应当把这一点说清楚。应在这一条草案中敦促发达国家向发展中国家提供与跨界含水层有关的方法上和科学上的专门知识。", "斯洛文尼亚", "106.　斯洛文尼亚欢迎并支持在现行水资源保护国际立法基础上进一步开展的努力，其中包括更详细处理跨界含水层管理问题的一批专题。条款草案提供了一个坚实的法律基础，使各国能够在全球一级协调与跨界含水层管理有关的具有适当综合性的解决方案。无论是否具有法律约束力，斯洛文尼亚对条款草案的形式都继续持灵活态度。在跨界含水层管理中，各国遵守条款草案中的规定至关重要。", "107.　条款草案对斯洛文尼亚正在负有水管理跨界合作任务的双边和多边机构中积极落实的一些问题作了规范。由于水管理跨越地理和政治界线，斯洛文尼亚非常重视区域、次区域和双边形式的合作，同时适当考虑到了生态系统办法和水体综合管理。欧洲经济委员会2007年进行的跨界水资源评估登记了东南欧的51个跨界含水层。根据其他估算，实际数字超过60个。克罗地亚、波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那、黑山及阿尔巴尼亚的一些迪纳拉岩溶含水层保证了15%至90%的用水份额得到利用，在一些地区还达到了100%。气候变化和水资源短缺威胁使迪纳拉含水层变得更加重要。", "108.　斯洛文尼亚很早就认识到含水层及其跨界层面的重要性。它是若干处理水管理问题的条约的缔约国。作为欧洲联盟成员，它积极执行并致力于实现水管理方面共同体法律、特别是《欧洲联盟水务框架指令》所确立的目标。斯洛文尼亚还是水管理问题5项双边条约的缔约国，订约对象分别是奥地利(关于穆拉河和德拉瓦河)、意大利、匈牙利和克罗地亚；也是一项次区域协定(《萨瓦河盆地框架协定》)和一项区域条约(《保护多瑙河公约》)的缔约国。这方面的合作和协调是在相关委员会和专家小组的场合中进行。", "109.　地热利用也是跨界地下水管理的一个重要方面。随着一些国家授予开采地热潜能的特许合同和权利，这个方面就变得更加重要。目前正在相关委员会中同奥地利和匈牙利讨论这一问题。", "西班牙", "110.　西班牙评论指出，欧洲议会和欧洲理事会第2000/60/EC号指令为保护内陆地表水、过渡水域、沿海水域和地下水建立了一个框架。西班牙立法和欧洲立法都为妥善管理淡水、地表水和地下水资源明确设立了所需框架，而涉及伊比利亚半岛跨界含水层的问题则属于西班牙-葡萄牙区和埃布罗区的权限范围。", "111.　根据《关于保护和可持续利用西班牙-葡萄牙水文流域的合作协定》(《阿尔布费拉协定》)，含水层几乎是以偶发形式处理的，这可能是因为西班牙和葡萄牙之间的共有含水层不多，只限于Bajo Miño、Ciudad Rodrigo-Salamanca、Moraleja和Vegas Bajas的水文地质区。埃布罗河流域也有一段国际水域，法国与安道尔之间已缔结并实施一些协定和条约，以保证合作实现水资源方面的环境目标，其中也包括地下水。", "土耳其", "112.　土耳其表示，其评论意见是对A/CN.4/595号文件所载评论意见的补充。关于第1条(b)款草案，“其他活动”一语含义不明，应予删除，以防对其解释可能产生的任何歧义。在经第3条草案详细阐述的第1条(c)款草案下，沿岸国开展的合作并不总是会导致对这种含水层或含水层系统实行共同管理。因此，提议采用以下案文：“含水层国可为此种含水层或含水层系统的保护、保全和管理而采取的措施”。", "113.　上文对第1条(c)款草案适用的理由也适用于第4条(c)款草案。因此，该款可修改为：“含水层国可酌情基于对其目前和将来需求及替代水源的考虑，单独或联合制定利用规划”。", "114.　关于第5条(1)款(f)项草案，“一个含水层国利用含水层或含水层系统……的……潜在影响”含义不明，因而应予删除。第5条(1)款(g)项草案也应删除。虽然其中提到了含水层或含水层系统某一现有和已规划用途的替代办法的存在，但水资源综合管理中已考虑到了水文、社会、经济和环境方面，并且已把有用、可持续、可行、公平和无害环境作为侧重点，在流域水资源开发方面没有任何一个因素可以凌驾一切。此外，无论是地下水资源还是地表水资源，都不可被当成彼此的替代品，它们是互补关系。因此，替代性水资源届时将已是计划的一部分。第5条(2)款草案中应为“人类的基本需要”列举一些例子，以避免任何歧义解释。", "115.　有关第6条草案中“重大损害”之解释以及对重大损害的适当下限之界定的辩论仍在继续。虽然大多数国际法规中都使用了“防止造成重大损害”的概念，但这种概念是模糊、相对和难以适用的。而且，如无某种下限，就难以采取妥善措施防止造成重大损害。另一方面，就地下水资源而言，哪怕仅仅是开采或少量污染都可被解释为重大损害。总之，这一条草案含义模糊，应修改如下：", "“1. 含水层国在本国领土内使用一跨界含水层或含水层系统时，应适当注意防止对其他含水层国造成重大损害。", "“2. 含水层国在从事利用一跨界含水层或含水层系统以外的活动、但对该跨界含水层或含水层系统具有或可能具有影响时，应避免通过该含水层或含水层系统对其他含水层国造成重大损害。", "“3. 如果确实仍对另一含水层国造成了重大损害，那么其活动造成了此种损害的含水层国应适当注意到第4条和第5条草案的规定，与受影响国协商，力求消除或减轻这种损害。”", "美利坚合众国", "116.　美利坚合众国评论说，就跨界含水层问题开展的工作在为合理使用和保护地下含水层提供一个可能框架方面取得了重要的进展，而地下含水层作为人类的水源，起着日益重要的作用。对于所有国家、特别是那些疲于应付跨界含水层问题压力的国家而言，委员会为制订一套灵活工具以便使用和保护这些含水层而做的努力是一个非常有益的贡献。", "117.　但是，总体而言，在跨界含水层问题上，还有许多东西需要了解，而具体的含水层情况和国家实践又千差万别。条款草案还超越了现行法律和惯例。基于这些原因，美利坚合众国仍然认为，应对跨界地下水问题压力的最佳途径是根据具体情况作出具体安排，而不是订立一项全球框架条约。正如第63/124号决议中决定的那样，有关各国在谈判订立适当双边或区域安排以妥善管理跨界含水层时，应考虑到这些条款草案的规定。在任何具体谈判中，可能需要适当考虑到多种因素，如相关含水层的水文特点、当前用途和未来预期用途、气候条件和展望以及经济、社会和文化方面考虑。使这些条款保持目前的草案形式，对于这些目的是适宜的。", "118.　美国仍然不认同这样一种说法，即：如果把这些条款草案订成一项全球条约，就会争取到足够的支持。不过，美国意识到，许多国家已对这样一项框架公约表示了某种兴趣。美国认为，若要使这些条款草案形成一个条约，就需要解决一些重要问题。例如，需要为一项公约制订适当的最终条款，并需要为确定拟议公约与其他双边或区域安排之间的关系订立条款。特别是，需要谨慎行事，以免以此取代现有的双边或区域安排或限制各国缔结这种安排的灵活性。", "阿拉伯国家联盟", "119.　阿拉伯国家联盟在转达其成员的意见时评论说，标题应改为“共有国际含水层法”。此外还应有一项关于解决争端的条款。条款草案全文中“跨界含水层”和“含水层系统”的提法应改为“共有国际含水层”和“共有国际含水层系统”。条款草案在使用技术术语时，应采用阿拉伯文的标准定义，而不是从英文术语直译。", "120.　在序言第三段之后应增添一个新的序言段，内容为：“申明《国际水道非航行使用法公约》中规定的相关条款和原则”。", "121.　序言部分倒数第二段应改为：“强调必须考虑到发展中国家和被占领地区的特殊情况”。", "122.　第1条(c)款草案中的“保全”一词应予删除。", "123.　关于第2条(g)款草案中“补给区”的定义，应在句末添加以下内容：“以及其他水源和该源之水通过土壤渗入含水层的区域”。第2条(h)款草案应改为：“(h)‘排泄区’系指含水层的水排入诸如水道、湖泊、绿洲、泉溪、湿地或海洋等出口的区域”。", "124.　第4条(c)款草案应改为：“(c)含水层国应基于对其目前和将来需要及替代水源的考虑，并顾及与公平合理利用相关的因素，单独和联合制定全面利用规划”。在第4条(d)款草案中应添加“天然和”一语，使该项后面部分内容成为：“程度不应妨碍其持续保持天然和有效的功能”。", "125.　第5条1款(d)项草案应改为：“(d)对含水层或含水层系统的形成和水补给所起作用的大小”。第5条2款草案开头部分应改为：“有关国家应确定给予每个因素的权重，而对每个因素的权衡，……”。", "126.　在第6条(1)、(2)和(3)款草案中，“境内”一语应改为“国境之内”。", "127.　在第8条(1)款草案中，“定期”一语应改为“经常和定期”。在第8条(2)款草案中，“尽力”应改为“尽最大努力”，而在第8条(3)和(4)款草案中，“尽力”应改为“尽全力”。", "128.　第10条草案开头部分应改为：“含水层国应在本国国情许可范围内采取一切适当措施，保护和保全……生态系统”。", "129.　第12条草案应修改如下：“含水层国应单独，并在适当情况下，共同或与相关国际组织合作，防止、减少和控制可能给其他含水层国造成重大损害，包括通过补水过程……的污染。……含水层国应采取审慎和预防的态度”。", "130.　在第13条(2)款草案中，“参数”一词应改为“因素”。", "131.　第16条(c)款草案句末应添加“及财政援助”等字，并将第16条(d)款草案中的“能力”一语改为“各项能力”。", "132.　第17条(3)款草案应改为：“如果紧急情况对人的基本维生需求构成威胁，尽管有第4条和第6条草案的规定，含水层国可在严格必要的限度内，断然采取措施满足这些需求”。", "133.　第18条草案后半部分应改为：“……适用于国际性和非国际性武装冲突以及被占领地区的国际法原则和规则所给予的保护，并且不得以违反这些原则和规则的方式加以使用。”", "[1] 《协议》和《联合宣言》副本已送交秘书处法律事务厅编纂司备查。" ]

Introduction", "1. The present report has been prepared pursuant to General Assembly resolution 63/124, by the terms of which the Assembly decided to include in the provisional agenda of its sixty-sixth session an item entitled “The law of transboundary aquifers” with a view to examining, inter alia, the question of the form that might be given to the draft articles on the subject.", "2. The Secretary-General, in a circular note dated 2 January 2009, drew the attention of Governments to the resolution, and reminders were sent out in December 2009 and February 2011.", "II. Comments and observations received from Governments", "Algeria", "3. Algeria emphasized: (a) the importance of precise knowledge about the extent of shared water resources, their volume and their quality; (b) the importance of integrating the environmental dimension of sustainable development in the countries concerned, through appropriate protection and good-faith cooperation, for the equitable and reasonable utilization of aquifers; (c) the need to strengthen national regulatory measures and bilateral or subregional cooperation mechanisms in order to ensure the effective protection of aquifer water resources from all forms of pollution; (d) the importance of protecting the right of countries sharing aquifers to have access to sufficient quantities for their development needs; and (e) the importance of introducing mechanisms for exchanging information and knowledge about shared water resources and the conditions for their integrated management.", "4. While highlighting the importance of bilateral and regional cooperation through the conclusion of agreements and the introduction of joint cooperation mechanisms between States sharing aquifers, Algeria expressed its readiness to cooperate fully in order to consider the best way to follow up on the draft articles at the sixty-sixth session.", "Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay", "5. Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay commented that the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the four countries had signed the Agreement on the Guaraní Aquifer in San Juan, Argentina, on 2 August 2010; it was currently undergoing the legislative approval process in the four signatory countries. On the same day, the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the four countries had also signed a Joint Declaration, in which they reaffirmed the political will to make progress on such programmatic elements as were needed for the timely and effective implementation of the Agreement.[1]", "6. The Agreement would be particularly important as a political and technical instrument, as it sought to strengthen cooperation and integration among States parties and expanded the scope of concerted action for the conservation and sustainable use of the transboundary water resources of the Guaraní aquifer system, located on their territories.", "7. The Agreement, which, inter alia, took into consideration General Assembly resolutions 1803 (XVII) on permanent sovereignty over natural resources and 63/124 on the law of transboundary aquifers and bore in mind the 1972 Stockholm Declaration on the Human Environment and the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, represented an important contribution by the region, as it was the first international agreement on activities involving a transboundary aquifer.", "Austria", "8. Austria commented that it would be not be timely to decide on the final form of the draft articles at the sixty-sixth session.", "9. In view of emerging State practice on the subject, the final form should be considered at a later stage, as this would allow time to assess whether the articles as currently drafted would stand the test of time.", "China", "10. China commented that, as the activities contemplated in draft article 1 (b) covered industry, agriculture, forestry and other domains, the scope would seem to be excessively broad, the threshold “impact” should be replaced with “significant impact”.", "11. Draft article 7 (2) should read: “aquifer States may establish joint mechanisms of cooperation”; the wishes of all States would be best respected if this measure were not couched in mandatory terms.", "12. On draft article 8, the strengthening of exchanges of data and information by aquifer States should not be at variance with the limitations provided under their law. As presently formulated, the provisions were too strict, allowing derogations only for national defence or security (draft article 19). Given that a number of countries had restrictions on the provision of information to other countries, necessary provision should be made for other possible limitations on the exchange of data and information.", "13. Draft article 16, on technical and financial assistance to developing countries, should be strengthened. Developing countries played only a limited role in cooperation relating to transboundary aquifers, and their capacity to manage such aquifers was generally rather weak. Accordingly, the provisions calling on developed countries to provide technical and financial assistance to developing countries should be further strengthened.", "14. On the final form, conditions were not yet ripe for the development of a convention on transboundary aquifers. The issue of transboundary aquifers was somewhat complex and, given the current lack of any extensive State practice in this area, haste should be avoided in developing rules of international law on the matter. The draft articles could serve as general guidelines for the practice of States in this area; in other words, they should take the form of a non-legally binding resolution or declaration.", "15. China reserved the right to submit further comments on the draft articles.", "Colombia", "16. Colombia commented that, with regard to the second preambular paragraph, although the draft articles addressed transboundary aquifers and their management, there was a need to be cautious when referring to the drafting of a convention on the basis of the draft articles. There was a need to determine how an international and legally binding instrument would be applied and whether it would be in the interests of the countries concerned.", "17. Concerning draft article 2, the phrase “… and their hydraulic connection with surface water” should be added at the end of the definition of “aquifer system”. Under the definition of “recharging aquifer”, the scope of the concept of “non‑negligible amount of ... recharge” should be specified; otherwise, the interpretation of “non-negligible” could be subjective. The definition of “recharge zone”, as currently worded, encompassed both surface and subsoil components of the zone contributing water to the aquifer. It would be worth specifying whether, in operational terms, a “discharge zone” included artificial and non-natural outlets of water originating from an aquifer, as the examples given in the text, which were natural, were merely indicative.", "18. With regard to draft article 4, in general terms the criteria used therein to describe the utilization of aquifer resources must be revised. Specifically, the criterion “reasonable” was highly subjective and did not establish a clear parameter for the appropriate management of resources. The meaning of “comprehensive utilization plan” in subparagraph (c) in the context of the joint management of transboundary basins was not clear. Moreover, the meaning of “continuance of its effective functioning” in subparagraph (d) should be clarified. Did it refer to the extraction of a proportion of the volume of contemporary water recharge? What restrictions would apply to the utilization of aquifers that had no contemporary water recharge?", "19. Concerning draft article 5 (1) (b), the reference to “other needs” could be overly broad and ultimately to the detriment of the equitable consideration of the interests and needs of States in the management of aquifers. With regard to the factors listed in draft article 5, the scope of paragraph (1) (d), on the contribution to the formation and recharge of the aquifer or aquifer system, was unclear, because the relationship between the formation of the aquifer and the criterion of sustainable use was not apparent; nor was the meaning of “the contribution to the formation” of the aquifer. It should also be determined whether “the contribution to the ... recharge of the aquifer” applied to water originating from certain economic activities, such as irrigation and leaks from aqueducts and drains. Moreover, it was not clear who would determine the weight of each factor in draft article 5 (1), especially if more than two States managed the aquifer, as the importance of each factor could be different for each State.", "20. In relation to draft article 6, the Spanish translation of the title of the article was not appropriate. In English, the term “significant harm” meant “significant or considerable harm”. However, the Spanish adjective “sensible” did not clearly describe the extent of the harm. As regards paragraph 3, the proper action in the event of harm was mitigation, compensation or remediation, not elimination. Furthermore, the draft articles did not consider the harm caused when groundwater was contaminated by pollution loads.", "21. Under draft article 8 (1), information related to hydrochemistry would be included in the exchange of hydrogeological information. However, there was no reference to information on the intrinsic vulnerability of aquifers to pollution or on current or potential land use. In relation to paragraph 2, the scale of work, methodologies and protocols to produce the missing information must be defined, in order to ensure reliability and comparability.", "22. With regard to draft article 10, an evaluation should be made as to whether its scope should encompass the biodiversity associated with aquifers, a concept that included the notion of ecosystems, and not only the concepts of geographical location and dependence, which were very strict and somewhat static.", "23. With regard to draft article 11 (2), a reference should be included to economic incentives to be agreed for the States in whose territory a recharge or discharge zone was located, in whole or in part, for the protection of those zones.", "24. Draft article 13 (2) should specify the frequency of monitoring based on an agreed conceptual model of the aquifers or aquifer systems.", "25. With regard to draft article 15 (2), a time frame should be defined for the provision of notification, to another State, by a State that implemented or permitted the implementation of planned activities which might affect a transboundary aquifer or aquifer system. The extent of the obligations should also be specified, as the rationale was not clear (for example, the other State might have “reasonable grounds” for believing that a particular activity might affect an aquifer). Likewise, the degree of probability of the activity being carried out and the extent to which the State in question had the means to make such an assessment should be taken into account. Furthermore, this obligation could be interpreted as a limitation on projects or activities in border areas, although it could be understood to be covered under existing environmental assessments and licences applicable to such activities.", "26. With regard to draft article 17, it should be specified whether the concept of an “emergency situation” resulting from human conduct implied that there were grounds for administrative liability, and how that would relate to grounds for exemption or mitigation of liability, such as force majeure or unforeseeable circumstances. The expression “eliminate” in subparagraph 2 (b), referring to the harmful effect of an emergency, should be replaced by “remediation”, in line with the suggestion regarding draft article 6 (see para. 20 above).", "Czech Republic", "27. The Czech Republic commented that the draft articles mostly concerned the utilization of groundwater resources and the related assessment of the effects of the planned activities; less attention was paid to preserving the quality and quantity of groundwater as an element of the environment, for example, they did not address the need to consistently improve groundwater quality. The term “significant harm”, as used in draft articles 6 and 12, set the threshold too high, and should be reconsidered.", "28. In draft article 15 (3), a requirement should be included to refrain, during the course of consultations and negotiations between the States concerned, from implementing or permitting the implementation of a planned activity that may significantly affect a transboundary aquifer. A similar provision was contained in article 17 (3) of the 1997 Convention on the Law of the Non-navigational Uses of International Watercourses.", "29. With regard to the final form, the Czech Republic observed that, during previous debates on work of the Commission on the draft articles it had been in favour of the conclusion, at a future date, of an international convention based on the draft articles. At the same time, it recognized that the draft articles would serve as a guide for bilateral and regional agreements. This process was still far from complete, given that additional issues for consideration had been raised in debates in the Sixth Committee. Consequently, a definitive position on the final form would emerge only after an assessment had been made as to whether and how the principles contained in the draft articles were reflected at the bilateral and regional levels and after discussions on such additional issues had been held in the General Assembly.", "Denmark", "30. Denmark commented that it had no transboundary aquifers.", "Egypt", "31. Egypt commented that the term “transboundary aquifers” should be replaced with “shared transboundary aquifers” in all the draft articles; “transboundary aquifers or aquifer system” should be replaced with “shared transboundary aquifers or shared aquifer system”.", "32. With regard to technical terms in the draft articles, the standard definitions in the Arabic references should be used, rather than the literal translations from English. These general remarks applied in particular to articles 7 to 17 and 19.", "33. With regard to draft article 1 (b), the term “other activities” was very broad and might lead to misunderstanding unless “activities” was explained.", "34. With regard to draft article 2, the standard definitions in the Arabic references should be used, rather than the literal translations from English.", "35. With regard to draft article 3, after the phrase “It shall exercise its sovereignty” the phrase “with regard to the rule of shared ownership” should be added.", "36. With regard to draft article 4 (c), the words “and alternative water sources for” should be deleted. Groundwater should not be considered as an alternative to surface water or vice versa, because they are integrated resources; “alternative water sources” should not be a factor in developing the comprehensive utilization plan.", "37. Draft article 5 (1) (g) should be deleted. The justification for the proposed deletion in draft article 4 (c) (see para. 36 above) applies.", "38. With regard to draft article 6 (3), there should be a clear rule regarding significant harm, requiring the aquifer State whose activities were causing such harm to take all corrective measures to eliminate or mitigate such harm. The procedure for implementation and the authority in charge should be clearly stated in the article.", "39. It was suggested that, in draft article 18, the phrase “and in the regions which are under occupation” be added, as appropriate.", "40. A new draft article 20 on dispute settlement should be added, the text of which would read as follows: “In case of disagreements and conflicts on any explanation or in applying the terms of this agreement, the two aquifer States can have recourse to article 33 of the Charter of the United Nations to settle the dispute, unless the concerned aquifer States agree to another solution”.", "El Salvador", "41. El Salvador commented that the subject was of a vital importance within the broader context of natural resource protection, considering that aquifers constituted the predominant reservoir and strategic reserve of freshwater storage on Earth.", "42. The draft articles were based on State practice and on a number of existing bilateral and international agreements, with new operational rules added taking into account new risks and realities.", "43. The acknowledgment and accurate assessment in the preamble that groundwater resources were vitally important and life-supporting in all regions of the world should serve as a frame of reference for interpreting each of the provisions, mainly those related to the protection and management of aquifers. In addition, the draft articles struck a balance between the rights and the obligations of States, as they acknowledged that States had sovereignty over aquifers located within their territory, but that such sovereignty must be exercised in accordance with all the obligations laid down in the draft articles and in international law.", "44. The obligations set forth in the draft articles were in line with the general principles recognized under international environmental law, thus forming a coherent part of the existing legal corpus, which was intended to be conducive to sustainable development, access to shared natural resources, respect for the principles of precaution and prevention, and harmonious balance between sovereignty and responsibility, a notion applicable to international law in general.", "45. With regard to environmental protection, El Salvador highlighted in particular the obligation of prevention, which was a fundamental norm given the irreversible nature of certain processes, such as the damage caused to water resources by excessive pollution and the extinction of animal and plant species, and the high cost of restoring the environment to its previous state, in cases where it is possible to do so. This obligation must be accompanied by the “proper management” stipulated in draft article 14, as that notion encompassed all the measures aimed at maximizing the long-term benefits of using aquifers, while protecting and preserving them.", "46. While the draft articles did not elaborate on the consequences of non‑compliance with the aforementioned obligations, they should nevertheless be supplemented by existing norms relating to State responsibility, either for internationally wrongful acts or for lawful acts that caused significant environmental damage. Such norms of State responsibility were widely recognized in international law and had been developed by the International Law Commission itself. Moreover, the principles on the allocation of loss in the case of transboundary harm arising out of hazardous activities (resolution 61/36, annex) had a dual purpose: on the one hand, to ensure prompt and adequate compensation to victims of transboundary damage, and on the other, to preserve and protect the environment in the event of transboundary damage, especially with respect to mitigation of damage to the environment and its restoration or reinstatement. In this connection, the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice on the Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons acknowledged that the existence of the general obligation of States to ensure that activities within their jurisdiction and control respected the environment of other States or of areas beyond national control was now part of the corpus of international law relating to the environment.", "47. El Salvador agreed with the inclusion in the draft articles of obligations of States in which aquifers were located and those of States in general, since aquifers constituted a resource that must be protected, given their importance for all of humankind and for future generations, not just for the population of a specific geographic area. This was reflected, for instance, in draft article 18 on protection in time of armed conflict. That provision created an imperative that strengthened the obligations set forth in the Geneva Conventions and the Additional Protocols thereto by requiring States to protect their water resources directly, not only because of their inherent value but also because of their close link to the basic needs of the civilian population.", "48. Draft article 16 on technical cooperation with developing States also reflected this comprehensive vision, as it required all States possessing the capacity and resources — rather than just those States sharing an aquifer — to participate in the bilateral process, aimed at promoting scientific, educational, technical, legal and other cooperation for the protection and management of these important water resources.", "49. The decision as to the final form remained a vital one that would determine the future operation of the draft articles in the international sphere. El Salvador proposed that the draft be analysed in terms of its main focus of regulation. Aquifers were not isolated elements but formed part of an integrated system that also included human beings, and they even had an impact on other activities related to the sustainable development of States, such as agriculture and stockbreeding. It should also be borne in mind that this kind of resource was not only essential for life, but also fragile and practically irreplaceable, necessitating diligent and immediate action on the part of States. In view of those considerations, El Salvador considered that the final form of the draft articles should ensure their full effectiveness and should be conducive to appropriate measures for halting excessive extraction and pollution of groundwater resources as a result of, inter alia, high population growth and rapid economic development. From a legal standpoint, a convention would constitute a binding instrument that, by embodying the sovereign will of States, would make such measures enforceable. However, a convention was not the sole means of ensuring effectiveness, as it would be subject to the will of individual States, which could choose not to adopt it. Ultimately, the final debate should focus on the form that would best ensure the implementation of the draft articles by the vast majority of States, with a view to reaching an agreement that guaranteed genuine protection for transboundary aquifers.", "France", "50. France reiterated its support for the recommendation of the Commission to the General Assembly as contained in paragraph 49 of its report (A/63/10).", "51. Given the sophisticated nature of the subject and the underlying scientific issues involved, the draft articles required a thorough review by States. Accordingly, it was necessary to proceed in stages: States should first be given time to evaluate the draft articles based on their own practice and to make bilateral or regional arrangements, if needed. On the basis of State practice, the General Assembly would then be able to decide whether to elaborate a convention on the basis of the draft articles.", "Lebanon", "52. Lebanon commented that some of the articles were similar to — one might even say taken wholly from — the 1997 Convention on the Law of the Non‑navigational Uses of International Watercourses.", "53. In draft article 2 (a), the definition of “aquifer” should be more detailed. For example, as indicated in the academic literature, there were confined aquifers, unconfined aquifers, renewable aquifers and fossil aquifers.", "54. The draft articles were oriented towards States that had good-neighbourly relations with each other, not States that were in a state of conflict or war. They would depend on goodwill among participating States and on States having normal — and in fact good — relations and not being in a state of conflict.", "55. It would be best for hydrogeologists to lay out the technical aspects, and then for lawyers to come in and formulate the legal model.", "56. Draft article 2 (b) was not clear. Further hydrological study was required in order to determine when aquifers were hydraulically connected. Furthermore, the fundamental problem lay in determining the boundaries of an aquifer. In draft article 2 (c), the word “transboundary” was used, whereas the 1997 Convention used the word “international”: its article 2 (b) read “‘International watercourse’ means a watercourse, parts of which are situated in different States”. Unless there was a reason therefor, it would not be wise to use one term rather than the other, especially given that the definition of the two terms was the same in both the Convention and the draft articles. Draft article 2 (d) did not mention that recharge and discharge zones were subsumed by the term “transboundary aquifer”. Either of those zones could be located in separate States. Draft article 2 (h) defined “discharge zone” as the zone where water originating from an aquifer flowed to its outlets, such as a watercourse, a lake and so forth. However, “watercourse” had already been defined in the 1997 Convention as “a system of surface waters and groundwaters constituting by virtue of their physical relationship a unitary whole and normally flowing into a common terminus” (article 2 (a)). This constituted the definition of “unconfined aquifer”. The definition of “discharge zone” therefore overlapped with the definition of international aquifers that appeared in the 1997 Convention, and should thus be amended in order to avoid duplication or any dispute about which of the two instruments should be applied with regard to rights and obligations.", "57. There was a contradiction between draft article 3 and subsequent draft articles that provided for limitations and conditions which could give rise to disputes when applied in the future. Further, the concept of sovereignty over aquifers contradicted the concept of participation as set forth in the 1997 Convention.", "58. While it might be easy to calculate present needs under draft article 4 (c), such might not be the case with regard to future needs. Each aquifer State could inflate figures in a way that would make utilization plans difficult to achieve, unless sufficient goodwill existed between States to cooperate with each other on an equitable basis. Given conflicting interests, that was not realistic, and equitable and reasonable utilization would be dependent on goodwill, not on legal provisions that were binding on the States concerned.", "59. With regard to draft article 4 (d), the more scientific and comprehensible term “sustainable” should be used rather than “effective” in the phrase “prevent continuance of its effective functioning”. It also made no mention of non-renewable fossil aquifers, which had no known recharge or discharge zones, such as the Nubian aquifer, located in Chad, Egypt, the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and the Sudan; the aquifer in Algeria and Tunisia, which might extend to the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and Morocco; and the Disi aquifer in Jordan and Saudi Arabia.", "60. With regard to draft article 5 (1), all the factors relevant to determining equitable and reasonable utilization required truthfulness and trustworthiness on the part of States, as well as reliable figures. In draft article 5 (1) (a), on the population dependent on the aquifer, reference should be made to the population currently resident plus future natural increases, not artificial increases resulting from migration. Draft article 5 (2) required truthfulness and trustworthiness on the part of States, as well as reliable figures. The law could not be relied on to ensure that rights were respected and that utilization was equitable and reasonable.", "61. Draft article 6 referred to the obligation of aquifer States to prevent significant harm, but made no mention of the obligation of recharge zone States not to deplete or pollute the water sources that recharged the aquifers.", "62. With regard to draft article 11 (1), the question arose as to how verification could be carried out in recharge and discharge zones in other States while respecting sovereignty as provided for in draft article 3.", "63. With regard to draft article 11 (2), as long as States did not gain direct benefit from the aquifer connected to the recharge and discharge zones in question, there was nothing to compel them to cooperate. This further demonstrated that States would have to cooperate with one another with honesty and trustworthiness and that they would have to place humanitarian concerns ahead of self-interest. It could only be reiterated that most of the provisions of the draft articles would be reliant on the principle of goodwill.", "64. In draft article 12, the word “precautionary” in Arabic was not forceful enough. Furthermore, the phrase “significant harm” should be replaced with a more forceful expression, because the pollution of aquifers was more serious than the pollution of surface water. It took a long time to undo the damage caused by such pollution, not to mention the fact that verifying such pollution would require disclosures that could be considered violations of sovereignty.", "65. Draft article 14 again raised the question of goodwill, because the mechanisms contemplated would require countries to cooperate and to forgo national self-interest. It was important in this context to discuss a law that would protect rights. Furthermore, recharge and discharge zones should be included in the definition of “aquifer State” in order to give States in those zones a role in management, thereby ensuring that water management would be sound and comprehensive.", "66. Draft article 15 (2) referred to planned activities which may affect an aquifer. This was compatible with draft article 6, which mentioned the obligation not to cause significant harm. Paragraph 3 provided for a mechanism to resolve conflicts over environmental effects. Unless both sides had the desire to reach a solution, such conflicts would be never-ending. This paragraph also mentioned an independent fact-finding body to which States might appeal for an impartial assessment, without identifying the composition of such a body.", "67. With regard to draft article 17 (3), words should be added to the effect that such measures should be temporary and should not continue after the state of emergency had been lifted.", "Libyan Arab Jamahiriya", "68. The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya commented that, in the title of the draft articles, the words “the law of transboundary aquifers” should be changed to “the law of shared international aquifers”.", "69. The Arabic translation of certain words and phrases needed to be adjusted in the text as a whole, in particular in draft articles 2 (a), 2 (b), 2 (g), 5 (1) (e), 8 (2), 8 (3), 8 (4), 10, 11 (1) and 13 (2).", "70. The law addressed the fair exploitation of shared aquifers, taking into account present and future needs, as well as alternative sources, without establishing priorities for the utilization of such aquifers.", "71. In order to preserve historically acquired rights, the law should not apply to projects that were already under way.", "72. In draft article 4, a clear definition of equitable and reasonable utilization must be formulated.", "73. In draft article 5 (1) (c), a definition of natural characteristics should be given. The definition should include area, extent, thickness, water flow direction and hydraulic and chemical characteristics. In draft article 5 (1) (d), the phrase “contribution to the formation and recharge” should be replaced by “size of contribution to the formation and recharge”.", "74. The first part of draft article 10 should read: “Aquifer States shall take all appropriate measures to protect and preserve ecosystems that are within the area of, or dependent upon, their transboundary aquifers or aquifer systems ...”.", "75. Draft article 11 (2) required greater clarification.", "Mexico", "76. Mexico commented that the draft articles covered a wide range of important issues.", "77. In the long term, it would be appropriate for such issues to be enshrined in an international legal instrument. However, before embarking upon the negotiation of a binding instrument, sufficient time should be allowed for further reflection. Such a period would also allow States to continue developing regional and bilateral practice, which might then provide input for the possible development of an international instrument. Any negotiation of such a treaty should guarantee that the rights and obligations assumed by States under other relevant international agreements were safeguarded.", "78. The item should remain on the agenda of the General Assembly and should be taken up again in a few years so as to allow for a period of reflection, with consideration given to whether the practice of States was in conformity with the draft articles.", "Oman", "79. Oman commented that in draft article 4, an additional subparagraph (e) should be inserted reading: “No aquifer State may seek compensation for the period prior to the adoption of this law.”", "80. At the end of draft article 5 (1) (d), a phrase should be added reading: “taking into account relative utilization based on an agreement to be concluded between the aquifer States.”", "81. At the end of draft article 6 (2), a sentence should be added reading: “A distinction should be made between harm resulting from use or extraction of natural resources from areas within transboundary aquifers or aquifer systems and harm resulting from pollution of groundwater reservoirs by industrial projects in such areas”.", "82. The Arabic translation of certain words and phrases needed to be adjusted in the text as a whole, in particular in draft articles 2 (e) and 8 (3).", "Panama", "83. Panama commented that the International Hydrological Programme of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Latin America promoted the joint UNESCO/Organization of American States Initiative on Internationally Shared Aquifer Resources Management in the Americas. The programme was launched in 2000, and the participation of Panama began in 2006. Only very general work had been done on the Sixaola River aquifer, shared by Panama and Costa Rica, while work on the joint Panama-Colombia Jurado aquifer had not begun.", "84. Panama recommended the review of existing Central American water agreements and the adoption of a regional approach that encouraged the seeking of the assistance of experts from the International Hydrological Programme in delimiting aquifers and agreeing on presumed rights, a matter that had not yet been resolved in the region. In the view of Panama, therefore, a universal resolution should not be approved to address a local problem.", "Philippines", "85. The Philippines commented that the “law of transboundary aquifers” was a historic and significant global initiative that laid down a significant framework strategy for the proper management of freshwater resources at the local and regional levels.", "86. Freshwater movement and its dynamics were very dependent on differences in uptake rates or discharge by various States using the same aquifer system, structures and rates of recharge. Hence, each State should take on the responsibility to protect, conserve and sustainably develop transboundary aquifers within the context of equal and just sharing.", "87. There was a need for a comprehensive assessment of the extent of transboundary aquifers and the status of their water quality. Aquifer systems extended beyond States’ political boundaries, and the approach taken in managing aquifers should be based on the catchment basin, as the behaviour of water was closely linked within river basin and catchment basin hydrogeology and river basin topographic boundaries. It would also be necessary to complete the process of mapping of transboundary aquifers and to establish aquifer information and management systems and special and temporal management regimes for the resource with a view to policy- and decision-making.", "88. There should be a governing law for all States to properly regulate the utilization of aquifer systems for the optional and sustainable management of the resource.", "89. Transboundary aquifers should be properly defined in terms of hydrogeological configuration and water-surface influence. The designation of critically depleting aquifer systems or “hot spots” required priority bilateral or regional arrangements. There was also a need for the proper management and protection of the recharge zone to maximize the level of the aquifer system. Moreover, the identification of management strategies and principles, current values and threats of aquifer systems was crucial, as was the need for bilateral and regional responsibility.", "Portugal", "90. Portugal reiterated that the draft articles could contribute positively to the proper management of existing transboundary aquifers around the world.", "91. As to the form, Portugal reaffirmed its belief that the draft articles should be developed into an international framework convention.", "Saudi Arabia", "92. Saudia Arabia commented that the draft articles did not seem to address (a) the prevention of lateral, diagonal or horizontal excavation within the water-bearing strata; (b) the lack of supply to other parties that were not aquifer States; (c) the fact that consideration should be given to the varying area, extent and thickness of the aquifer, its characteristics, and the direction in which the aquifer flowed, and the variations from one State to another in terms of population size; and (d) the use of pollutants and their impact on the aquifer or water system.", "93. The draft articles made no distinction between arid desert regions with little rainfall and regions that had plenty of aquifers. Priorities must therefore be established for the utilization of transboundary aquifers in desert regions, where the first priority should be drinking water.", "94. The draft articles addressed underground water sources that were hidden from view, and there were insufficient data and information regarding the huge variety of subterranean geological formations, including rifts and folds, that could impede and affect the rate of the flow of aquifers. However, the draft articles did not take such factors into consideration.", "95. A mechanism should be developed for the sharing of experiences gained from successful experiments in managing water from transboundary aquifers.", "96. The provisions of the draft articles covered aquifers and groundwater networks. However, in certain articles, inter alia, draft articles 6 (2), 7 (1), 8 and 9, reference was restricted to aquifers, and other networks were not mentioned.", "97. The chapeau of draft article 1 should be changed to read: “The present draft articles aim to regulate the following:”. A new draft article 1 (d) should be added, reading: “Priorities should be established for the use of shared groundwater and aquifers”.", "98. Draft article 2 (a) should be amended to read: “‘aquifer’ means a permeable water-bearing geological formation that may or may not be circumscribed, superimposed or underlain by a less permeable layer and the water contained in the saturated zone of the formation”.", "99. With regard to draft article 4, a precise definition should be given of the principle of equitable and reasonable utilization. The draft articles did not address, in a distinct manner, aspects concerning non-renewable aquifers, aquifers in desert regions or aquifers in areas where rainfall was plentiful. Draft article 4 (c) left things open to change and uncertainty: the needs of States fluctuated, and it might be better to establish fixed rules. Draft article 4 (d) was unclear and needed to be clarified or reformulated. A new draft article 4 (e) should be added, reading: “No State may renounce, lease or sell all or part of its right to utilize a transboundary aquifer to any State other than a State bordering that or another aquifer”.", "100. Draft article 5 (1) (c) should be amended to read: “Utilization should be in keeping with the natural characteristics of the aquifer or aquifer system within each State”. Moreover, an additional factor should be included as follows: “(j) Consideration should be given to the area, extent and thickness of the aquifer, its characteristics, and the direction in which the aquifer flows”.", "101. With regard to draft article 6, there had to be a clear provision for irrevocable damage, and the State which had caused such damage must provide compensation. Provision must also be made for the manner in which compensation for such damage would be provided and the entity responsible for providing it specified.", "102. With regard to draft article 7, greater detail was required with respect to “sovereign equality” and the principle of “territorial integrity”, because aquifers were different from surface water (rivers), and it would be difficult to apply those terms to aquifers.", "103. With regard to draft article 9, bilateral arrangements had positive and negative features. However, the expression “adversely affects” was ambiguous and needed greater specificity or definition in order to ensure that it was not misinterpreted. The term might give one or more States the right of veto unless the adverse impact referred to was more clearly defined with regard to paragraph 2 of the commentary on the draft article, the reference to “rare cases” (“When an agreement or arrangement is for the entire aquifer or aquifer system, all the aquifer States sharing the same aquifer or aquifer system are most likely to be involved except for some rare cases”) needed to be clarified.", "104. Draft article 12 should provide greater detail as to what was meant by “a precautionary approach” and the consequent obligations on a State should be made clear.", "105. In draft article 16, the meaning of “States” in the phrase “States shall ... promote” should be specified; if it meant the States of the world, that should be made clear. In this draft article, the developed States should be urged to provide developing countries with methodological and scientific expertise for dealing with transboundary aquifers.", "Slovenia", "106. Slovenia welcomed and supported efforts to build on the existing international legislation on water protection with topics addressing transboundary aquifer management in greater detail. The draft articles presented a solid legal basis that would enable countries to coordinate, at a global level, adequate integrated solutions relating to the management of transboundary aquifers. Slovenia remained flexible on the form of the draft articles, whether legally binding or non-binding. In the management of transboundary aquifers, it was essential that States observe the provisions set forth in the draft articles.", "107. The draft articles regulated issues that Slovenia was implementing proactively within bilateral and multilateral bodies tasked with transboundary cooperation in water management. As water management transcended geographical and political boundaries, Slovenia placed a focus on regional, subregional and bilateral forms of cooperation, with due consideration for the ecosystem approach and the comprehensive management of bodies of water. Fifty-one transboundary aquifers were registered in south-eastern Europe in the 2007 assessment of transboundary water resources conducted by the Economic Commission for Europe. According to other estimates, the number exceeded 60. Some Dinaric karst aquifers in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania guaranteed a 15-90 per cent utilized water share, attaining 100 per cent in some areas. Climate change and the threat of water shortages had made Dinaric aquifers all the more important.", "108. Slovenia had recognized early on the significance of aquifers and their transboundary dimension. It was a party to treaties addressing water management. As a member of the European Union, it actively implemented and sought to attain the objectives of the community acquis on water management, in particular the European Union Water Framework Directive. Slovenia was also party to five bilateral treaties addressing water management, with Austria (relating to the rivers Mura and Drava), Italy, Hungary and Croatia; one subregional agreement (the Framework Agreement on the Sava River Basin); and one regional treaty (the Danube River Protection Convention). Cooperation and coordination took place in the context of the relevant commissions and expert groups.", "109. Geothermal utilization was also an important aspect of transboundary groundwater management. It was an aspect which had gained importance as concessions and rights for the exploitation of geothermal potential had been granted in individual countries. It was now being discussed with Austria and Hungary in the relevant commissions.", "Spain", "110. Spain commented that directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council established a framework for the protection of inland surface waters, transitional waters, coastal waters and groundwater. Spanish and European legislation clearly established the frameworks needed for the proper management of freshwater, surface water and groundwater resources, and questions regarding the transboundary aquifers in the Iberian peninsula fell within the purview of the Spanish-Portuguese district and the Ebro district.", "111. Under the Agreement on Cooperation for the Protection and Sustainable Use of the Waters of the Spanish-Portuguese Hydrographic Basins (the Albufeira Agreement), aquifers were dealt with in an almost incidental fashion, probably owing to the scarcity of aquifers common to Spain and Portugal, which were limited to the hydrogeological units of Bajo Miño, Ciudad Rodrigo-Salamanca, Moraleja and Vegas Bajas. The Ebro basin also had an international segment, and agreements and treaties had been concluded and were in force between France and Andorra. These guaranteed cooperation for achieving the environmental objectives for water deposits, and groundwater was included in that context.", "Turkey", "112. Turkey indicated that its comments were additional to those contained in document A/CN.4/595. With regard to draft article 1 (b), it was not clear what was meant by “other activities”. It should be deleted with a view to preventing any ambiguity that might be derived from its interpretation. Under draft article 1 (c), as amplified in draft article 3, cooperation to be carried out by riparian States might not always result in common management of such aquifers or aquifer systems. The following text was proposed therefor: “Measures which can be taken for the protection and preservation and management of such aquifers or aquifer systems by the aquifer State”.", "113. The rationale applied above with regard to draft article 1 (c) also applied to draft article 4 (c). It might therefore be modified to read: “They may establish individually or jointly, as appropriate, utilization plans, taking into account present and future needs of, and alternative water resources for, the aquifer States.”", "114. With regard to draft article 5 (1) (f), it was not clear what was meant by “potential effects of the utilization of the aquifer or aquifer systems in one aquifer State or aquifer system”. Accordingly, it should be deleted. Draft article 5 (1) (g) should also be deleted. Although reference was made therein to the availability of alternatives to a particular existing and planned utilization of the aquifer or aquifer system, integrated water resources management already took into account hydrological, social, economic and environmental aspects and focused on what was useful, sustainable, feasible, equitable and environmentally friendly, without any factor prevailing with regard to the exploitation of water resources in a basin. Moreover, neither groundwater resources nor surface water resources could be treated as an alternative to the other; they were complementary. Alternative water resources would thus already be a part of the plan. Some examples of “vital human needs” in draft article 5 (2) should be enumerated in order to avoid any divergent interpretations.", "115. The debate on the interpretation of “significant harm” in draft article 6 and the definition of appropriate thresholds of significant harm continued. Although the concept “to prevent causing significant harm” was used in most international codes, it was vague, relative and difficult to apply. Furthermore, appropriate measures to prevent the causing of significant harm would be difficult to take without certain thresholds. On the other hand, in groundwater resources even exploitation or a small amount of contamination could be interpreted as significant harm. On the whole, the draft article was ambitious and should be modified as follows:", "“1. Aquifer States shall, in utilizing a transboundary aquifer or aquifer system in their territories, pay due diligence to prevent the causing of significant harm to other aquifer States.", "“2. Aquifer States shall, in undertaking activities other than utilization of a transboundary aquifer or aquifer system that have or likely to have, an impact on that transboundary aquifer or aquifer system shall refrain from causing significant harm through that aquifer or aquifer system to other aquifer States.", "“3. Where significant harm nevertheless is caused to another aquifer State, the aquifer States whose activities cause such harm shall try, in consultation with the affected State, to eliminate or mitigate such harm, having due regard for the provisions of draft articles 4 and 5.”", "United States of America", "116. The United States of America commented that the work on transboundary aquifers constituted an important advance in providing a possible framework for the reasonable use and protection of underground aquifers, which were playing an increasingly important role as water sources for human populations. For all States, and especially those struggling to cope with pressures on transboundary aquifers, the efforts of the Commission to develop a set of flexible tools for using and protecting these aquifers had been a very useful contribution.", "117. Nevertheless, there was still much to learn about transboundary aquifers in general, and specific aquifer conditions and State practice varied widely. The draft articles also went beyond current law and practice. For those reasons, the United States continued to believe that context-specific arrangements, as opposed to a global framework treaty, provided the best way to address pressures on transboundary groundwaters. As decided in resolution 63/124, States concerned should take into account the provisions of the draft articles when negotiating appropriate bilateral or regional arrangements for the proper management of transboundary aquifers. Numerous factors might appropriately be taken into account in any specific negotiation, such as the hydrological characteristics of the aquifer at issue; current uses and expectations regarding future uses; climate conditions and expectations; and economic, social and cultural considerations. Maintaining the articles in their present, draft form was suitable for those purposes.", "118. The United States remained unconvinced that, if the draft articles were fashioned into a global treaty, the treaty would garner sufficient support. It recognized, however, that many States had expressed an interest in such a framework convention. If the draft articles were to take the form of a treaty, there were a number of important issues that the United States believed would need to be addressed. For example, appropriate final clauses for a convention would need to be developed, as well as articles that established the relationship between the proposed convention and other bilateral or regional arrangements. In particular, care would need to be taken not to supersede existing bilateral or regional arrangements or to limit the flexibility of States entering into such arrangements.", "League of Arab States", "119. The League of Arab States, conveying the views of its members, commented that the title should read “Law on shared international aquifers”. There should also be an article on dispute settlement. The references in the draft articles to “transboundary aquifer(s)” and “aquifer system(s)” should be replaced throughout the text by “shared international aquifer(s)” and “shared international aquifer system(s)”. When technical terms were used in the draft articles, standard definitions in Arabic should be used instead of literal translations thereof from English.", "120. After the third preambular paragraph, a new preambular paragraph should be added, reading: “Affirming the relevant articles and principles set forth in the Convention on the Law of the Non-navigational Uses of International Watercourses”.", "121. The penultimate preambular paragraph should read: “Emphasizing the need to take into account the special situation of developing countries, and areas under occupation”.", "122. In draft article 1 (c), the reference to “preservation” should be deleted.", "123. With regard to the definition of “recharge zone” in draft article 2 (g), the following should be added at the end of the sentence: “and other sources of water and the area in which that water percolates into the aquifer through soil”. Draft article 2 (h) should read: “(h) ‘discharge zone’ means the zone where water originating from an aquifer discharged to its outlets, such as a watercourse, a lake, an oasis, a spring, a wetland or an ocean”.", "124. Draft article 4 (c) should read: “(c) They shall establish individually and jointly a comprehensive utilization plan, taking into account present and future needs of, and alternative water sources for, the aquifer States; and factors related to equitable and reasonable utilization”. In draft article 4 (d), the words “natural and” should be added, so that the last part of the subparagraph would read: “at a level that would prevent continuance of its natural and effective functioning”.", "125. Draft article 5 (d) should read: “(d) The size of the contribution to the formation and recharge of the aquifer or aquifer system”. The first part of draft article 5 (2) should read: “The States concerned shall determine the weight to be given to each factor, to be determined by its importance with regard to …”.", "126.

Algeria expressed its willingness to cooperate fully to consider the best way to follow up on the draft articles at its sixty-sixth session.", "Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay", "Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay indicated that four foreign governors had signed the Guarsenal Agreement on 2 August 2010 in San Juan, Argentina. The legislative bodies of the four Signatories are currently approving the agreement. The Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the four countries also signed the Joint Declaration on the same day, reaffirming their political will to make the necessary progress towards the components of the programme in a timely and effective manner. Annexes", "The Agreement seeks to strengthen cooperation and coherence among States parties and expands the scope of concerted action to protect and sustain the use of transboundary water resources in the Guarani aquifer system in their territories, thus being a particularly important political and technical instrument.", "In addition, the Agreement takes into account General Assembly resolutions 1803 (XVII) on the permanent sovereignty of natural resources and 63/1124 on the law of transboundary aquifers, bearing in mind the Stockholm Declaration on the Human Environment of 1972 and the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development. The Agreement is an important contribution to the region, as it is the first international agreement on the activities of transboundary aquifers.", "Austria", "Austria indicated that it was not appropriate to take a decision on the final form of the draft articles at its sixty-sixth session.", "In the light of the stage in which national practice on this issue is still in place, the final form should be considered at a later stage. This would allow time to assess whether the provisions currently drafted would be tested for time.", "China", "China indicated that article 1 (b) of the draft articles covered industrial, agricultural, forestry and other areas, and that their scope seemed too broad. The word “impact” should be replaced with the word “a major impact”.", "Draft paragraph 7 (2) should be amended to read: “The State of the aquifer may establish a mechanism for joint cooperation”; it is not appropriate to impose this measure so that it is the best interest of States.", "For draft article 8, the strengthening of the exchange of data and information by the State of the aquifer shall be limited to non-compliance with its law. The provisions made in the current draft are too restrictive, with exceptions limited to the area of defence or national security (draft article 19). Given that some States have limitations on the availability of data to foreign countries, the necessary provisions should be made for other possible data and information exchange restrictions.", "The content of draft article 16 on technical and financial assistance to developing countries should be strengthened. The role played by developing countries in cooperation with transboundary aquifers is limited and their ability to manage such aquifers is generally weak. Hence, the need for further increases in calls on developed countries to provide technical and financial assistance to developing countries.", "With regard to the final form, the conditions for the establishment of a convention on transboundary aquifers are not ripe. Cross-border aquifers have a certain complexity, and there is no response to the development of rules of international law on this subject in the present absence of broad State practice. The draft articles could serve as a general guiding principle for the practice of States in the relevant areas, namely, the use of non-binding resolutions or declarations.", "China reserved the right to comment on the draft articles.", "Colombia", "With regard to the second preambular paragraph, Colombia indicated that, while the draft articles triggered transboundary aquifers and their management, caution was necessary for drafting a convention on the basis of the draft articles. It was necessary to determine how the application of an international, legally binding instrument and the instrument would be in the interest of the State concerned.", "With regard to draft article 2, the words “and their hydrological links with surface water” should be added at the end of the definition of “the aquifer system”. In the definition of “supplysing aquifers”, it should be specified that the scope of the concept of “gross supply of water” was not subject to subjective interpretation. The current definition of “supply zones” includes both surfaces and subsoils in aquifers. It should be specified in terms of operationality whether the “lead area” includes the manufacture of and non-natural water from the aquifers, since the natural examples cited in the text are examples.", "With regard to draft article 4, it was generally important to modify the criteria used to clarify the utilization rate of the resources of aquifers. Specifically, the criterion of “reasonability” is very subjective and does not clearly define the elements for the proper management of resources. The reference in subparagraph (c) to joint management of cross-border lake flows is unclear. In addition, it should be clear in subparagraph (d) that “continue to maintain effective functions”. Would it imply that the quantity of water supplied by part of the same period is drawn? What limits are the use of aquifers that do not supply water for the same period?", "The “other needs” referred to in draft article 5 (1) (b) might be too broad and would ultimately compromise the equitable consideration of the interests and needs of States in the management of aquifers. With regard to the factors set out in draft article 5, paragraph (1) (d) concerned the role of the creation and water supply of the biological or environmental systems, but it was not clear that there was no clear link between the creation of aquifers and the criteria for their sustainable use; and that the role of the creation of the aquifer was unclear. It should also be determined whether “the role of water supply for aquifers ...” applies to water generated by some economic activity, such as irrigation and nutrients and drainage. Moreover, it is not clear whether the weight of each element in draft article 5 (1) would be determined by whom, in particular, if more than two States manage the same aquifers, since the importance of each factor is different for each country.", "With regard to draft article 6, the Spanish translation of the title of the article was inappropriate. In English, “serious damage” means “significant or considerable damage”. However, the word “sensible” in Spanish does not clearly indicate the level of damage. With regard to paragraph 3, appropriate action to be taken after damage is mitigation, compensation or remedy, rather than elimination. In addition, the draft articles did not consider the damage caused by contamination of groundwater.", "In paragraph 8 (1), information on hydrochemicals is included in the exchange of hydrological information, no mention is made of information on the inherent risk of contamination of aquifers or of information on current or possible uses of land. Paragraph 2 must define the scope, methods and protocols for providing missing information to ensure reliability and comparability.", "With regard to draft article 10, the scope of this article should be evaluated whether the scope of the article should include the biological diversity relating to aquifers. The concept of biodiversity includes ecosystems, not only geographical location and dependency, which are very limited and some fixed concepts.", "With regard to draft article 11 (2), reference should be made to the economic incentives agreed upon to provide to States in or in part or in part in their territory to protect those areas.", "Draft article 13 (2) should specify the frequency of monitoring on the basis of agreed conceptual models for the biological or biological systems.", "With regard to draft article 15 (2), a time limit for the implementation or authorization of a State that may affect a transboundary environment or entity should be set out to another State. It should also be specified that the scope of the obligations involved is not clear (e.g., where another State may have “reasonable grounds” to believe that an activity would affect aquifers). Similarly, consideration should be given to the possibility of implementing such activities, as well as the possible extent of the country in question. In addition, this obligation should be understood as a limitation on projects or activities in the border area, although it may be considered that the existing environmental assessment and the licence provisions for the application of such activities are included.", "With regard to draft article 17, it should be specified whether the concept of “in emergencies” triggered by human conduct implies grounds for accountability and how such responsibility would be linked to the grounds for immunity or mitigation of responsibility, such as force majeure or accident. The “removal” in paragraph 2 (b) refers to the adverse effects of emergencies and should be replaced with “remedy” in accordance with the recommendation made in draft article 6 (see para. 20 above).", "Czech Republic", "The Czech Republic indicated that most of the draft articles related to the use of groundwater resources and the impact on planned activities; less attention was paid to the protection of the quality and quantity of groundwater as a significant element of the environment — for example, the need to consistently improve the quality of groundwater. The term “serious damage” used in draft articles 6 and 12 should be reconsidered.", "In draft article 15 (3), States concerned should be requested to refrain from implementing or allowing the implementation of planned activities of transboundary aquifers during consultations and negotiations. Article 17 (3) of the 1997 Convention on the Law on the Non-Navigate Use of International Watercourses contains a similar provision.", "With regard to the final form, the Czech Republic indicated that, in the discussion of the Commission's work concerning the draft articles, the Czech Republic had favoured the future conclusion of an international convention on the basis of the draft articles. At the same time, the Czech Republic also recognized that the draft articles would serve as a guide for bilateral agreements and regional agreements. The process was also far from being completed, as the Sixth Committee raised other issues for consideration in the debate. Thus, the precise position on the final form will be created only after an assessment of whether or how it should be and how to reflect the principles contained in the draft articles at the bilateral and regional levels, and after the General Assembly has discussed such other issues.", "Denmark", "Denmark indicated that it had no transboundary aquifers.", "Egypt", "The words “cross-border aquifers” in all draft articles should be replaced with “Sharing transboundary aquifers”; the words “cross-border ecosystems and systems” should be replaced with “Sharing transboundary aquifers or shared aquifer systems”.", "With regard to the technical terminology contained in the draft articles, the standard definition in Arabic reference materials should be used, not in English. These general comments apply in particular to articles 7 to 17 and 19.", "With regard to draft article 1 (b), “other activities” are very general and may result in misunderstandings unless interpretation of “activity”.", "With regard to draft article 2, the standard definition of reference materials in Arabic should be applied, not in English.", "With regard to draft article 3, the words “to all common rules” should be added before the phrase “in exercise of sovereignty”.", "The words “and alternative sources of water” in draft article 4 (c) should be deleted. It should not be seen as an alternative to surface water, but vice versa, since both are the same sources; “other water sources” should not be a factor in the development of a comprehensive use plan.", "Draft article 5 (1) (g) should be deleted. The reasons for deletion were proposed in the same draft article 4 (c) (see para. 36 above).", "With regard to draft article 6, paragraph (3), it should be specified that the State of the aquifer that caused significant damage to its activities should take all corrective measures to eliminate or mitigate such damage. The procedures for implementation and the authorities should be specified in this article.", "It was suggested, as appropriate, that the words “and in the occupied region” should be added in draft article 18.", "A new draft article 20 on the settlement of disputes should be added, which reads as follows: “When any interpretation of the provisions of this agreement or the existence of objections and disputes with respect to their application, the parties of the aquifer may invoke Article 33 of the Charter of the United Nations unless the parties to the concerned aquifer agree on other approaches”.", "El Salvador", "El Salvador indicated that this issue was of great importance in terms of the broader perspective of the protection of natural resources, since aquifers were the largest hydro and strategic reserves for Earth's storage.", "The draft articles are proposed on the basis of State practice and existing bilateral agreements and international agreements, which add new rules of operation to reflect new risks and new realities.", "The preamble recognizes and accurately assesses the critical importance and the importance of groundwater resources for all regions of the world. This should serve as a reference point for interpreting each provision (mainly the provisions for the protection and management of aquifers). Moreover, the draft articles balancing the rights and obligations of States and recognize the sovereignty of States vis-à-vis aquifers located in their territories and the need to exercise such sovereignty in accordance with all the obligations set forth in the draft articles and international law.", "The obligations set out in the draft articles are in line with the general principles recognized by international environmental law and thus constitute an integral part of the existing code, which is intended to achieve a harmonious balance between the promotion of sustainable development, the use of shared natural resources, respect for the principles of prevention and prevention, and sovereignty and responsibility. This concept applies to general international law.", "Over pollution is irreversible for certain processes, such as water resource damage and the extermination of flora and fauna species, and even where it is possible, the return of the environment to the past is also costly. In this context, in the area of environmental protection, El Salvador attaches particular importance to the basic norm of prevention obligations. This obligation must be complemented by the “appropriate management” set out in draft article 14, which includes all measures taken to maximize long-term benefits from the use of aquifers, while protecting and preserving aquifers.", "Although these draft articles do not clarify the consequences of non-compliance with the above-mentioned obligations, they should be supplemented by the existing guidelines on State responsibility, whether the State is responsible for wrongful acts or lawful acts that cause serious environmental damage. These guidelines on State responsibility have been widely recognized in international law and have been developed by the International Law Commission. In addition, the principle of the distribution of transboundary damage caused by hazardous activities (resolution 61/36, annex) has a dual purpose: to ensure prompt and adequate reparation for victims of transboundary damage, and to preserve and protect the environment in the event of transboundary damage, particularly in the context of mitigating environmental damage and restoring or rehabilitating the environment. In this regard, the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice on the Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons recognizes that the general obligations of States include ensuring that activities under their jurisdiction or under their control respect for the environment of other States or areas outside their national jurisdiction, which is now part of the subject of international law relating to the environment.", "El Salvador aligns itself with the inclusion in the draft articles of State obligations of States in which aquifers are a resource that must be protected, not only for the population of specific geographical regions but also for all human and future generations. This is reflected in draft article 18 on protection during armed conflict. This article provides for the need to strengthen the obligations established in the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols, which directly require States to protect their water resources, as water resources are not only inherently valuable but also closely linked to the basic needs of the civilian population.", "Draft article 16 on technical cooperation with developing countries also reflects this comprehensive view, which requires that all States with capacity and resources — not only those with shared aquifers — should participate in bilateral processes to promote scientific, educational, technical, legal and other cooperation for the protection and management of these important water resources.", "Decisions on the final form remain essential, as it will determine the practical implementation of the draft articles in the future. El Salvador recommended that the main normative focus of the draft be analysed. The aquifer is not an isolated factor, but it is also an integral part of an integrated human system and the effects of aquifers even on other relevant activities of national sustainable development, such as agriculture and livestock. It should also be borne in mind that such resources are not only indispensable in life but are fragile or even substantively irreplaceable, and States must take immediate and practical action. Based on these considerations, El Salvador believes that the final form of the draft articles should ensure the full effectiveness of the draft articles and should be useful in taking appropriate measures to curb the excessive exploitation and contamination of groundwater resources due to factors such as high population growth and rapid economic development. From a legal point of view, the Convention will become a binding instrument that can be enforced by reflecting the sovereign will of States. However, the Convention is not the only means to ensure its effectiveness, since individual States may choose not to adopt the Convention so that the Convention is subject to the will of individual States. Ultimately, in order to arrive at an agreement that would guarantee the genuine protection of transboundary aquifers, the final debate should focus on the form used to ensure, in the best sense, the vast majority of national implementation draft articles.", "France", "France reiterates its support for the recommendations of the Committee contained in paragraph 49 of its report (A/63/10) to the General Assembly.", "Given the complex nature of the topic and the potential scientific issues involved, States need to make a thorough review of the draft articles. There is therefore a need for a phased approach: first, States should be given time to evaluate the draft articles in accordance with their national practice and, if necessary, bilateral or regional arrangements. The General Assembly will then be able to decide, on the basis of State practice, on the basis of the draft articles, on the basis of a convention.", "Lebanon", "Lebanon indicated that a number of provisions were similar to, and could even be, entirely from the 1997 Convention on the Law on the Non-Navigational Use of International Watercourses.", "The definition of “ aquifers” in draft article 2 (a) should be more detailed. For example, the academic literature noted the existence of flogging aquifers, unpressed aquifers, renewable aquifers and fossil aquifers.", "The purpose of the draft articles is to maintain a good-neighbourliness and friendly country rather than a State in conflict or war. The draft articles depend on good faith among the participating States and depend on the State having a normal relationship and de facto good relationship, rather than on the State in which they are in conflict.", "It would be preferable to determine the technical aspects by hydrogeologists, followed by the involvement of lawyers in the development of legal models.", "Draft article 2 (b) was not clear. Further hydrological studies are needed to determine when there is a hydrological link between aquifers. In addition, the underlying issue lies in determining the limits of aquifers. In draft article 2 (c), the word “cross-border” was used, while in the 1997 Convention, the term “international” was used: article 2 (b) provided that “[t]he international watercourses are part of the waterways in different countries”. Unless justified, it was not wise to make the difference between the two terms, especially given that the definitions of the two terms were the same in the Convention and in the draft articles. In draft article 2 (d), reference to the term “border aquifers” covered the supply area and the leading area. Both can be located in different countries. The draft article 2 (h) defines “lead areas” as areas where water flow of aquifers is exported to watercourses, lakes, etc. However, the 1997 Convention defined “waterways” as “ground water and groundwater systems, which constitute a single module as a result of their natural relations, and usually in common endpoints” (Article 2 (a)). This constitutes a definition of “non-pressive aquifers”. Thus, the definition of “moval zones” overlaps with the definition of international aquifers in the 1997 Convention, which should be amended in order to avoid duplication or to avoid any controversy that should apply in relation to rights and obligations.", "Draft article 3 contradicts the subsequent draft articles providing for limitations and conditions, which may arise in application. Moreover, the concept of the sovereignty of aquifers contradicts the concept of participation established in the 1997 Convention.", "The calculation of the current requirements referred to in draft article 4 (c) may be easy, but the calculation of future needs may not be easy. Each State of the aquifer may exaggerate figures, leading to difficulties in the implementation of the plan, unless there is sufficient good faith in mutual cooperation. This is not realistic in view of the existence of conflicts of interest and the fair and reasonable use will depend on good faith, without prejudice to the legal provisions binding upon the States concerned.", "With regard to draft article 4, subparagraph (d), the more scientific and understandable terminology should be “sustainable” in “sustainable” rather than “intrusing its continuous and effective functioning”. There was also no reference to non-renewable fossil aquifers, since such aquifers did not have any known supply area or levies, such as the Nobiia aquifers located in Chad, Egypt, the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and the Sudan; the aquifers located in Algeria and Tunisia and could be extended to the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and Morocco; and Disse aquifers located in Jordan and Saudi Arabia.", "With regard to draft article 5 (1), all factors related to the determination of fair and reasonable use require the real credibility of States and the reliability of the figures. In draft article 5 (1) (a) on the population dependent on aquifers, reference should be made to the current population and future natural growth, rather than to the artificial growth caused by migrants. Draft article 5 (2) requires States to be real and reliable. This law cannot be relied upon to ensure that rights are respected and that their use is fair.", "Draft article 6 referred to the obligation of the State of aquifers to prevent significant damage, but did not mention the obligation of the State in which the supply area had no obligation to exhaust or contaminated the supply of water to the aquifer.", "With regard to draft article 11 (1), the question arises as to how to verify the supply area and the movable area, as provided for in draft article 3, while respecting sovereignty.", "With regard to draft article 11 (2), cooperation would not be compelled if States did not benefit directly from the aquifers associated with the supply area and the leading area. This further demonstrates that States must pursue their mutual cooperation in good faith and place humanitarian concerns on their own interests. We can only reiterate that most of the provisions in the draft articles will depend on the principle of good faith.", "In draft article 12, the term “prudentity” was not strong in Arabic. In addition, a stronger formulation should be replaced with the words “serious damage” because the gravity of the contamination of aquifers exceeds surface water contamination. There is a need for long time to eliminate the damage caused by such pollution, not least if verification of such pollution requires disclosure that may be considered a violation of sovereignty.", "Draft article 14 once again raised the issue of good faith, as the envisaged mechanism required cooperation by States to abandon their private interests. In this regard, a law must be explored to protect rights. In addition, the definition of “State of aquifers” should include additional supply areas and levies to enable countries located in these supply areas and leading areas to play a role in management, thereby ensuring improved and integrated water management.", "In draft article 15 (2), reference was made to planned activities that might affect aquifers. This is in line with draft article 6, which refers to the obligation not to cause significant damage. Paragraph 3 provides for the establishment of a mechanism to resolve conflicts arising from environmental impacts. Unless the parties are willing to reach a solution, this conflict will never stop. The paragraph also referred to the establishment of an independent fact-finding body to facilitate a fair assessment by States, but did not clarify the composition of the institution.", "With regard to draft article 17 (3), some additional words should be added, with the view that such measures should be of a temporary nature and should not continue after the lifting of the state of emergency.", "Libyan Arab Jamahiriya", "The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya indicated that the title of the draft articles, “The law of transboundary aquifers”, should be replaced with the word “Shared international aquifer law”.", "Adjustments should be made to the Arabic translation of certain terms in the text, in particular articles 2 (a), 2 (b), 2 (g), 5 (1) (a), 8 (2), 8 (3), 8 (4), 8 (4), 10, 11 (1) and 13 (2).", "The Act deals with the equitable development of shared aquifers, taking into account current and future needs, as well as alternative sources, but does not determine the priority of using them.", "In order to preserve the right to be derived from history, the Act should not apply to projects already under way.", "In draft article 4, there was a need for a clear definition of equitable and reasonable use.", "The definition of natural characteristics should be presented in draft article 5 (1) (c). The definition should include size, scope, thickness, water flow and hydrology and chemical characteristics. In draft article 5 (1) (d), replace “The role of generation and supply” with “the size of the role played by the generation and supply”.", "The beginning of draft article 10 should read: “The State of the aquifer shall take all appropriate measures to protect and preserve ecosystems in its transboundary or biological systems or ecosystems that depend on the existence of such ecosystems ...”.", "Further clarification is needed on draft article 11 (2).", "Mexico", "Mexico indicated that the draft articles covered a wide range of important issues.", "In the long term, it is appropriate to address these issues in an international legal instrument. However, before negotiations on a binding instrument should be initiated, sufficient time should be allowed to further reflect. States may continue to strengthen regional and bilateral practice during that time so that inputs can be provided to an international instrument that may be developed after that time. Any negotiations on this treaty should guarantee that the rights and obligations of States under other relevant international agreements are guaranteed.", "The project should continue to be included in the agenda of the General Assembly and should be revisited in a number of years in order to reflect on a period of time and to explore the compatibility of practices among States with the draft articles.", "Oman", "Oman indicated that subparagraph (e) should be added in draft article 4, which reads as follows: “Any State of the aquifer shall not seek compensation before the adoption of this Law”.", "At the end of draft article 5 (1) (d), a phrase should be added to read: “There shall take into account the relative use established in accordance with agreements to be concluded between the State of the aquifer”.", "At the end of draft article 6 (2), a sentence should be added to read as follows: “The distinction should be made between the damage caused by the use or exploitation of natural resources in the areas covered by the transboundary or biological systems and the damage caused by the contamination of groundwater deposits in industrial projects in those areas”.", "Adjustments should be made to the Arabic translation of certain terms in the text as a whole, in particular draft articles 2 (e) and 8 (3).", "Panama", "Panama indicated that the International Hydrographic Programme of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Latin America promoted the implementation of the UNESCO/OAS initiative on the management of the resources of shared aquifers in the Americas. The programme was launched in 2000, and Panama started its engagement in 2006. In the case of the Sixaola River shared by Panama and Costa Rica, only general work has been done; in the case of the arsenal shared by Panama-Colombia, work has not yet started.", "Panama recommended that the existing Central American Water Agreement be reviewed and that a regional approach be taken to encourage the search for assistance from international hydrological programme experts in the delimitation of aquifers and the agreed presumption of rights - This is a problem that has not been resolved in the region. Panama therefore believes that a local problem should not be resolved through the approval of a universal application.", "Philippines", "The Philippines indicated that the Law on Cross-border aquifers was a historic major global initiative to develop an important framework strategy for the proper management of freshwater resources at the local and regional levels.", "The flow of freshwater and its water flows have been very largely influenced by the variations in the inhalability and emission rates in countries using the same aquifer system and by the structure and supply rates of the aquifer. Thus, each State should assume responsibility for the protection, conservation and sustainable development of transboundary aquifers on the basis of equitable sharing.", "There is a need for a comprehensive assessment of the scope of transboundary aquifers and their water quality. The system of aquifers transcends national political boundaries and therefore the approach taken in the management of aquifers should be based on the catch-up water basins, since the characteristics of the water flow are closely linked to the hydrogeological characteristics of the river basin and the salinary basins. It is also important to complete the mapping of transboundary aquifers and to establish information and management systems for aquifers, as well as special and time-bound resource management systems, in order to formulate policies and policymaking.", "A law applicable to all States should be developed to properly regulate the use of the aquifer system, which is not mandatory and sustainable.", "The definition of transboundary aquifers should be properly defined from the perspective of hydrology and water impacts. Bilateral or regional arrangements are needed as a matter of priority when a system of aquifers or hot spots are designated. There is also a need for proper management and protection of the supply area to maximize the water levels of the aquifer system. It is also important to identify regulatory strategies and principles, threats to current values and systems of aquifers and to establish bilateral and regional responsibilities.", "Portugal", "Portugal reiterates that the draft articles could make a positive contribution to the proper management of existing transboundary aquifers around the world.", "With regard to the form adopted, Portugal reiterates its view that the draft articles should be developed as an international framework convention.", "Saudi Arabia", "Saudi Arabia commented that the draft articles did not appear to touch on the following issues: (a) the prevention of polarization, bias or horizontal excavations within the surface; (b) the lack of supply to other parties in the State of non- aquifers; (c) the fact that the different size, scope and weight of the aquifers, the characteristics of aquifers and the direction of movement, and the differences in the size of the population between a State and another State; and (d) the use of pollutant pollutants and their impact on aquifers or water systems.", "The draft articles do not distinguish between desert regions with small rain droughts and areas where there are many aquifers. Therefore, the use of transboundary aquifers in desert regions must be prioritized, with the first priority being drinking water.", "The draft articles touch upon the unseeable source of groundwater, and in practice there is no sufficient data and information available to understand the broad range of geomorphology, including the possibility of impeding and affecting the rapid flow of aquifers and embezzlement. However, the draft articles did not take into account those factors.", "A mechanism should be established to share the successful experience gained in the water management experiments of transboundary aquifers.", "The provisions of the draft articles cover aquifers and groundwater networks.

The draft articles do not address in a clear manner the issues related to non-renewable aquifers, desert regional aquifers or rainy rich regional aquifers. Draft article 4 (c) left space for change and uncertainty: the need for States would be volatile and therefore it would be preferable to establish fixed rules. Draft article 4 (d) was not clear and required clarification or redrafting. A new draft article 4 (e) should be added to reads as follows: “No State shall waive, rent or sell the owner or part of any transboundary aquifer or of another aquifer”.", "Draft paragraph 5 (1) (c) should be revised to read: “The natural characteristics of each country's biological or environmental systems shall be used”. In addition, the following elements should be added: (j) taking into account the size, scope and breadth of aquifers, the characteristics of aquifers and the direction of mobility.", "With regard to draft article 6, a clear provision must be made for irreversible damage, and States that cause such damage must provide reparation. It is also important to specify the manner in which such damages are provided and to indicate the entity responsible for providing compensation.", "With regard to draft article 7, the principles of “ sovereign equality” and “Rights of territorial integrity” need to be more specific, as the aquifers differ from surface water ( rivers), and it is difficult to apply these provisions to aquifers.", "With regard to draft article 9, bilateral arrangements have positive and negative characteristics. However, the expression “impact” is ambiguous and needs to be more specific or defined to ensure that it does not. If there is no clearer definition of the adverse effects described, such a reference may confer a veto on a State or a multinational. In paragraph 2 of the commentary to the draft article, the reference to “any individual case” in “what a given agreement or arrangement is directed against the entire ecosystem or environmental system, in addition to exceptional circumstances, is likely to be included in all States of the same intellectual property or entity”.", "Draft article 12 should elaborate more on the meaning of “prudentity” and clarify the subsequent national obligations.", "In draft article 16, the meaning of “States” in the words “States should ... promote” should be specified; it should be clear if this means that the world is concerned. In that draft article, developed countries should be urged to provide developing countries with technical and scientific expertise in relation to transboundary aquifers.", "Slovenia", "Slovenia welcomed and supported further efforts based on existing international legislation on the protection of water resources, including a number of topics addressing the management of transboundary aquifers. The draft articles provide a solid legal basis to enable States to coordinate, at the global level, appropriate and comprehensive solutions related to the management of transboundary aquifers. Slovenia continues to be flexible in the form of the draft articles irrespective of whether it is legally binding. In the management of transboundary aquifers, it is essential that States comply with the provisions of the draft articles.", "The draft articles regulate a number of issues that Slovenia is actively implementing in bilateral and multilateral bodies that have a mandate for water management of transboundary cooperation. As water management transcends geographical and political lines, Slovenia attaches great importance to regional, subregional and bilateral forms of cooperation, with due regard to ecosystem approaches and the integrated management of water bodies. The transboundary water resource assessment conducted by the Economic Commission for Europe in 2007 registered 51 transboundary aquifers in South-Eastern Europe. According to other estimates, the actual figures exceed 60. A number of Dinarc solvent aquifers in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania have ensured the use of 15 to 90 per cent of the water share and 100 per cent in some areas. The threat of climate change and water scarcity makes the dinar aquifer more important.", "Slovenia was well aware of the importance of aquifers and their transboundary dimensions. It is a party to several treaties dealing with water management. As a member of the European Union, it actively implements and is committed to achieving the objectives set out in the Community's legislation on water management, in particular the European Union Water Framework Directive. Slovenia is also a party to five bilateral treaties on water management, which are contracted by Austria (on the Mula River and the Drava River), Italy, Hungary and Croatia; and is also a party to a subregional agreement (Swa River Basin Framework Agreement) and a regional treaty (the Convention for the Protection of the Danube). Cooperation and coordination in this regard are carried out on the occasion of the relevant committees and expert groups.", "geothermal use is also an important aspect of transboundary groundwater management. This is even more important as some countries grant concession contracts and rights to exploit geothermal potentials. The issue is being discussed with Austria and Hungary in the relevant committees.", "Spain", "Spain commented that the European Parliament and the European Council Directive 2000/60/EC established a framework for the protection of inland surface water, transit waters, coastal waters and groundwater. Both Spanish legislation and European legislation explicitly established the necessary framework for the proper management of freshwater, surface water and groundwater resources, while the question of transboundary aquifers in the Iberoamerican peninsula is within the purview of the Spanish- Portuguese and the Ebro Zone.", "In accordance with the Agreement on Cooperation for the Protection and Sustainable Use of the Spanish- Portuguese Hydrographic Basin (Albuboura Agreement), aquifers are almost dealt with in an accidental manner, which may be due to the small number of common aquifers between Spain and Portugal, which are limited to the hydrogeological areas of Bajo Miño, Ciudad Rodrigo-Salamanca, Moraleja and Vegas Bajas. The Ebro River basin also has a number of international waters, which have been concluded and implemented between France and Andorra to ensure cooperation in achieving environmental goals in water resources, including groundwater.", "Turkey", "Turkey indicated that its comments complement the comments contained in document A/CN.4/595. With regard to draft article 1, paragraph (b), the meaning of the phrase “other activities” should be deleted in order to prevent any differences that may arise with regard to their interpretation. Under the draft article 1 (c) detailed in draft article 3, cooperation between coastal States does not always lead to the co-management of such systems or entities. It was therefore proposed that the following text be used: “The State of aquifers may take measures to protect, preserve and manage such systems”.", "The reasons applicable to draft article 1 (c) above apply to draft article 4 (c). The paragraph could therefore be amended to read: “The State of the aquifer may, as appropriate, develop, individually or jointly, plans for use, based on its current and future needs and alternative sources of water”.", "With regard to draft article 5 (1) (f), the meaning of “the use by a State of an aquifer in the use of a biological system ... the potential impact” is unclear and should therefore be deleted. Draft article 5 (1) (g) should also be deleted. While reference was made to the existence of an existing and planned alternatives to the biodiversity system, integrated water resources management had taken into account hydrology, social, economic and environmental aspects and had focused on useful, sustainable, viable, equitable and environmentally sound water resources development without any factor in watershed development. In addition, both groundwater resources or surface water resources cannot be used as mutually reinforcing alternatives. Thus, alternative water resources will be part of the plan. A number of examples should be cited in draft article 5 (2) as “Basic human needs” to avoid any divergent interpretation.", "The debate on the interpretation of “significant damage” in draft article 6 and the definition of appropriate limits for major damage continued. Although the concept of “prevention of causing significant harm” is used in most international legislations, this concept is vague, relatively and difficult. Moreover, it is difficult to take appropriate measures to prevent serious damage if there are no limits. On the other hand, in the case of groundwater resources, what is even mining or a small number of pollution can be interpreted as a major damage. In summary, the meaning of the draft article is vague and should be revised as follows:", "“1. The use by the State of the aquifer in its territory of a transboundary or biological entity shall be given due attention to the prevention of significant damage to other aquifer States.", "“2. The State of the aquifer shall refrain from causing significant damage to other aquifer States by virtue of the use of activities other than the use of a transboundary or biological system.", "“3. If there is still a significant damage to another aquifer State, the State of the aquifer that has caused such damage shall take due account of the provisions of draft articles 4 and 5 and seek to eliminate or mitigate such damage in consultation with the affected States.”", "United States", "The United States of America commented that the work on transboundary aquifers had made important progress in providing a possible framework for the rational use and protection of aquifers, which played an increasingly important role as a human water source. The Commission's efforts to develop a flexible set of tools for the use and protection of these aquifers are a very useful contribution to all States, particularly those that are lessening to meet the pressure on transboundary aquifers.", "In general, however, there are many more needs to be understood in relation to transboundary aquifers, while specific aquifers and State practice vary. The draft articles also go beyond existing laws and practices. For these reasons, the United States of America remains of the view that the best way to deal with pressures on transboundary groundwater is to make specific arrangements based on specific circumstances rather than to conclude a global framework treaty. As decided in resolution 63/1124, the provisions of those draft articles should be taken into account when States negotiate appropriate bilateral or regional arrangements for the proper management of transboundary aquifers. In any specific negotiations, there may be a need to give due consideration to a variety of factors, such as the hydrological characteristics of the relevant aquifers, the current and future expected uses, climate conditions and prospects, and economic, social and cultural considerations. It would be appropriate to keep these provisions in the current draft form.", "The United States still does not agree that sufficient support will be sought if these draft articles are to be developed as a global treaty. However, the United States is aware that many countries have expressed some interest in such a framework convention. The United States believes that it is important to address a number of important issues if these draft articles are to form a treaty. For example, appropriate final provisions are needed for a convention and provisions are needed to define the relationship between the proposed convention and other bilateral or regional arrangements. In particular, caution is needed to avoid replacing existing bilateral or regional arrangements or limiting the flexibility of States to conclude such arrangements.", "League of Arab States", "In transmitting the views of its members, the League of Arab States commented that the title should be replaced with the “Shared international aquifer law”. In addition, there should be a provision on dispute resolution. In the full text of the draft articles, references to “ transboundary aquifers” and “systems of aquifers” should be replaced with “Shared international aquifers” and “Shared international aquifer systems”. In using technical terms, the draft articles should apply the standard definition of Arabic rather than from the English term.", "A new preambular paragraph should be added after paragraph 3 of the preamble, which reads as follows: “Reaffirming the relevant provisions and principles set out in the Convention on the Non-Navigational Use of International Watercourses”.", "Paragraph 2 of the preambular paragraph should read: “The importance of taking into account the special circumstances of developing and occupied regions”.", "The term “reservation” in draft article 1 (c) should be deleted.", "With regard to the definition of “supply zones” in draft article 2 (g), the following elements should be added at the end of the sentence: “Other sources of water and water from that source are inseparable to aquifers through soil”. Draft paragraph 2 (h) should be replaced with the following: “(h) sequencing zones refer to regions where the water drain of aquifers is exported, such as watercourses, lakes, green continents, streams, wetlands or oceans”.", "Draft paragraph 4 (c) should be replaced with the following: (c) States of aquifers should be based on considerations of their current and future needs and alternative sources of water, taking into account the factors related to equitable utilization, with separate and joint development of comprehensive planning. In draft article 4, subparagraph (d), the words “natural and” should be added so that the latter part should read: “The degree should not prevent it from continuing to maintain its natural and efficient functions”.", "Draft paragraph 51 (d) should be replaced with the following: “(d) The size of the role played by the creation and water supply of the biological or biological systems”. The chapeau of draft article 5, paragraph 2, should read: “The State concerned shall determine the weight given to each factor and the balance of each factor ...”.", "In draft articles 6 (1), (2) and (3), the phrase “in the territory” should be replaced with “in the country”.", "In draft article 8 (1), the term “regular” should be replaced with “regular and regular”. In draft article 8 (2), “to do everything” should be replaced with “to do everything” and in draft articles 8 (3) and (4), “to do everything” should be replaced with “to do everything”.", "The beginning of draft article 10 should read: “The State of the aquifer shall take all appropriate measures, within its national circumstances permit, to protect and preserve ... ecosystems”.", "Draft article 12 should be revised as follows: “The State of the aquifer shall, individually and in appropriate cases, cooperate with the relevant international organizations to prevent, reduce and control the potential causing significant damage to other aquifer States, including pollution through the replenishment process. ... States of aquifers should adopt a precautionary and preventive approach”.", "In draft article 13 (2), the word “principles” should be replaced with “consideration”.", "The phrase “and financial assistance” should be added at the end of the draft article 16 (c) and replaced with the phrase “capacity” in draft article 16 (d).", "The draft article 17 (3) should read: “When an emergency poses a threat to the basic human life needs of the person, notwithstanding the provisions of draft articles 4 and 6, the State of the aquifer may take measures to meet those needs within the limits strictly necessary”.", "The second half of draft article 18 should be replaced with the following: “.... applicable to the protection afforded by international and non-international armed conflicts and the principles and rules of international law in the occupied territories and shall not be used in a manner contrary to these principles and rules”.", "A copy of the agreement and the Joint Declaration was sent to the Codification Division of the Office of Legal Affairs of the Secretariat." ]

Lebanon believes that from the day resolution 1701 (2006) was adopted, Israel has failed to honour its obligation to implement it or to withdraw from all occupied Lebanese territory, and has persisted in violating Lebanese sovereignty, thereby ensuring that no progress has been made in the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) with respect to obliging Israel to withdraw from all Lebanese territory and cease its infractions. Lebanon would like to draw attention to the following:", "1. Lebanon reiterates its commitment to the full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) and calls on the international community to bring pressure to bear on Israel to fulfil its obligation to implement that resolution in full. Since the last assessment, the Israeli enemy army has continued to violate Lebanese sovereignty in contravention of the provisions of resolution 1701 (2006). Those violations included the following:", "(a) During the reporting period, the Israeli enemy army continued to violate Lebanese airspace, territory and territorial waters, committing 336 air violations, 149 land violations and 60 sea violations, in flagrant violation of Lebanese sovereignty and the provisions of resolution 1701 (2006), which calls for full respect for the Blue Line. Lebanon demands the immediate cessation of such violations.", "Lebanon affirms that the some 8,362 air, sea and land violations of the Blue Line and Lebanese sovereignty committed by Israel since the adoption of resolution 1701 (2006) constitute a flagrant violation of the aforementioned resolution and all other relevant United Nations resolutions, the most important of which is Security Council resolution 425 (1978) of 19 March 1978. Between the Israeli onslaught on Lebanon in 2006 and February 2010 there were between three and four Israeli violations per day, in addition to repeated Israeli threats to destroy the infrastructure of Lebanon. Those violations threaten international peace and security and constitute a flagrant violation of the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. Lebanon calls upon the international community to bring pressure to bear on Israel and oblige it to cease its daily violations of Lebanese sovereignty and to respect the international resolutions adopted by the United Nations.", "(b) Lebanon reminds the international community yet again that Israel is seeking to undermine resolution 1701 (2006) by every means possible. On 7 December 2009, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that resolution 1701 (2006) had collapsed.", "(c) On 15 May 2011, despite the heightened measures taken by the Lebanese Army in relation to the commemoration of the Nakbah in Marun al-Ra’s, which is located in southern Lebanon, Israeli enemy forces fired at a group of unarmed civilians who had gathered at the above-mentioned location to observe the occasion, killing 10 persons and wounding 112 others, some critically. The killing and wounding yet again of innocent civilians by the Israeli enemy is an act of aggression and reaffirms Israel’s violation of Lebanese sovereignty and its disregard of United Nations resolutions. It also reaffirms the hostile nature of Israel, which has never hesitated to arbitrarily use force against civilians, in flagrant violation of international laws and norms, including international humanitarian law. Lebanon calls on the Security Council to shoulder its responsibility to maintain international peace and security. The Council should bring pressure to bear on Israel in order to compel it to end both its hostile policy towards Lebanon and its acts of provocation, and to hold it responsible for attacking and killing civilians.", "(d) The networks of spies that were recruited by the Israeli enemy constitute a blatant aggression against Lebanon, an attack on its sovereignty and a flagrant violation thereof that contravenes international resolutions and, in particular, Security Council resolution 1701 (2006). More than 150 collaborators were recruited by Israel in order to assist its intelligence apparatus, and were under orders to undertake sabotage operations both within and beyond the areas of Lebanon in which the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) is deployed. Those spy networks threatened national security by infiltrating Lebanese society and civil and military institutions through the recruitment of collaborators to work in the interests of Israeli intelligence. Those collaborators were ordered to undertake sabotage operations that included the detonation of explosives, the assassination of prominent Lebanese citizens, terrorist activities and attacks on Lebanese infrastructure. The networks, by using the collaborators to gain control over the Lebanese fixed and cellular communications network and eavesdrop on Lebanese citizens, also constituted an infringement of the security of communications in Lebanon that continues to this day, given that those collaborators provided Israel with the frequencies of mobile telephone operators and their base transceiver stations and the passwords of their servers, in addition to providing precise, in-depth studies on the operational procedures of mobile stations. Lebanon lodged a complaint with the Security Council with regard to the spy networks that were cultivated in Lebanon by Israel, in which it detailed some of the sabotage operations that they carried out on the direct orders of the Israeli intelligence services. In that connection, the International Telecommunication Union Plenipotentiary Conference that was held in Mexico condemned Israeli piracy against the telecommunications sector in Lebanon.", "(e) UNIFIL continues to exert every possible effort to ensure that Israeli forces withdraw completely from the area known as 14B, which is the Lebanese part of the village of Ghajar and the uninhabited adjacent area, and the Lebanese Government is continuing to cooperate with UNIFIL with a view to achieving that aim. Notwithstanding those efforts, the Israeli army continues to occupy the aforementioned area, in flagrant violation of its obligations under Security Council resolution 1701 (2006), which provides that Israel must withdraw immediately and unconditionally from the village of Ghajar. Israel’s procrastination with regard to withdrawal from the area known as 14B compels us to question the sincerity of Israel’s commitment to implementation of that resolution and the extent to which the Security Council is capable of obliging that country to end its occupation. It is incumbent upon the international community to take action to ensure that Israel completely withdraws from the Lebanese part of the village of Ghajar and area 14B as soon as possible. The Israeli Government is attempting to temporize, regardless of the fact that such withdrawal does not constitute a concession, but is one of the key requirements of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006).", "(f) Lebanon believes that the continued occupation by Israel of the Lebanese Shab‘a Farms and Kafr Shuba hills constitutes a threat to stability and security. Lebanon requests the international community to bring pressure to bear on Israel to completely and unconditionally withdraw from all Lebanese territory, and urges the Secretary-General of the United Nations to intensify his efforts to ensure that Israel withdraws from that territory. Lebanon reminds the international community that, under the provisions of the relevant Security Council resolutions, Israel is obliged to withdraw from the Shab‘a Farms and Kafr Shuba hills.", "(g) Lebanon would like to bring to the attention of the international community yet again the fact that the maps relating to cluster bombs that Lebanon has received from Israel are incomplete and imprecise. Israel dropped those bombs randomly on densely populated civilian areas, thereby causing the death or injury of more than 400 persons, including 47 fatalities and 353 cases of severe and disabling injury. It should once more be underlined that the Government of Lebanon had its doubts about the precision of the maps that it received from Israel, and demands that information should be provided regarding the dates on which the cluster bombs that were used during the Israeli raids were dropped, together with the quantity and type of those bombs. It should also once again be stressed that the Lebanese Army has asked for aerial photographs or video footage of the targeted areas before and after the bombardments. Israel bears entire responsibility and should pay compensation for the deaths of numerous Lebanese citizens that have been caused by the cluster bombs and unexploded ammunition that were dropped by Israel during its onslaught on Lebanon, and for the numerous crimes that Israel has committed against Lebanon and its people. Lebanon urges the United Nations and donor countries to continue to address that issue, in order to protect the lives of innocent civilians, and to call for the Lebanon Mine Action Centre to be granted the necessary financial resources to enable it to carry out its mandate.", "(h) The Israeli army has continued to use launches to conduct illegal patrols inside Lebanese territorial waters close to the so-called “line of buoys” that was positioned unilaterally and illicitly inside those waters. Israel makes the fraudulent claim that those buoys approximate the southern border of Lebanese territorial waters. The Israeli army has also continued to fire warning shots and launch grenades at Lebanese fishing boats. Furthermore, it regularly detonates explosive charges close to the aforementioned line, inside Lebanese territorial waters. In his twelfth report on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) (S/2010/105), paragraph 29, the Secretary-General warned that those Israeli measures contribute to increasing tension between the parties. Lebanon does not recognize any line that has been put in place unilaterally, and considers that the Israeli measures are a further violation of Lebanese sovereignty and Security Council resolution 1701 (2006). Lebanon requests the United Nations to authorize UNIFIL to put in position in the region a line of buoys that is in keeping with international standards.", "(i) On 9 July 2010, Lebanon deposited with the United Nations a map on which the southern maritime border with occupied Palestine is clearly marked, together with the exclusive economic zone of Lebanon. The geographical coordinates of the borders, which were set forth in accordance with international standards, are specified. On 11 October 2010, Lebanon also deposited with the United Nations two maps designating the south-western maritime borders of the aforementioned economic zone, together with two tables in which are set forth the geographical coordinates of those borders. In letters dated 4 January and 17 February 2011, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Emigrants requested the Secretary-General to instruct UNIFIL, in keeping with its mandate under relevant United Nations resolutions, and in coordination with the Lebanese Army, to demarcate a maritime security line similar to the Blue Line it has established on land. Such a line should correspond to the southern and south-western boundaries of the territorial waters and exclusive economic zone of Lebanon. That would be consistent with the role already played by UNIFIL in demarcating Lebanon’s land borders.", "2. The Lebanese Army is continuing to strengthen field and strategic cooperation with UNIFIL.", "(a) The coordination between the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL is particularly evident in their joint patrols, joint checkpoints and joint military training operations and exercises.", "(b) Lebanon stresses the fact that none of the reports of the Secretary-General on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) has made any reference to indications that weapons are being smuggled into the UNIFIL area of operations. All weapons that have been seized are remnants of the war waged against Lebanon by Israel in the summer of 2006. Lebanon further stresses once again that the Lebanese Army and the Lebanese security apparatus have not reported any incidence of weapon smuggling since the most recent report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) was submitted to the Security Council.", "(c) Israel’s claim that weapons are being stockpiled and military installations established in densely populated civilian areas in South Lebanon bears no relation to the truth, and is designed to facilitate the targeting by Israel of innocent Lebanese civilians and justify their slaughter and terrorization, regardless of the fact that all international instruments and, in particular, those of international humanitarian law, outlaw and criminalize the targeting of civilians.", "(d) Lebanon continues to participate in tripartite meetings that are held with a view to maintaining peace along the Blue Line. Those meetings are the appropriate forum in which to address issues pending from resolution 1701 (2006) and flashpoints along the aforementioned Line. Israel’s persistence in resorting to unilateral measures undermines those tripartite meetings and the role of UNIFIL in maintaining the peace in its area of operations. Furthermore, those unilateral measures are intended to raise doubt as to the capacity of the Lebanese armed forces to defend the sovereignty of all Lebanese territory, contrary to the spirit of resolution 1701 (2006).", "(e) With respect to the positioning of markers along the Blue Line, Lebanon affirms yet again the agreement that was reached at the tripartite meeting with a view to making progress in and accelerating that operation. Israeli procrastination in that regard raises doubts as to its real intentions.", "3. Lebanon stresses the importance of strengthening and raising the level of international assistance in building the capacities of the Lebanese Army and security forces and preparing them to perform their duty to defend Lebanese sovereignty and protect the Lebanese people. The Lebanese Army needs reinforcements of arms and ammunition and to acquire more modern means of surveillance and up-to-date communications equipment. It also requires training in the use of all such equipment and apparatus.", "4. Notwithstanding the limited capacities and resources of the Lebanese Army, the Government of Lebanon has decided to deploy two additional battalions south of the Litani river, in order to further demonstrate its commitment to the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006).", "5. At the economic level, we once more support the call that is made to the international community in resolution 1701 (2006) to extend more of the assistance that is necessary for the reconstruction and development of Lebanon. In that connection, we urge States that took part in the Stockholm Conference, Paris III and the Vienna Conference to honour their commitments. Lebanon greatly appreciates all economic and social programmes and humanitarian assistance that UNIFIL provides to the Lebanese people in its area of operations, including quick-impact projects and emergency medical services.", "6. If stability and security are to be reinforced, there must be a transition from the situation of a cessation of hostilities to a state of permanent ceasefire." ]

Lebanon believes that, since the adoption of resolution 1701 (2006), Israel has never fulfilled its obligations under the implementation of the resolution and has not withdrawn from all Lebanese territories occupied by it, but has consistently violated Lebanese sovereignty, making resolution 1701 (2006) requesting Israel to withdraw from all Lebanese territory and cease its violations without any progress. Lebanon wishes to draw attention to the following points:", "Lebanon reiterates its commitment to the full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) and calls upon the international community to exert pressure on Israel to fully comply with its obligations under that resolution. Since the last assessment, the Israeli enemy has continued to violate Lebanese sovereignty in violation of resolution 1701 (2006). These violations include:", "(a) During the reporting period, the Israeli enemy continued to violate Lebanese airspace, territories and territorial waters, 336 violations of airspace, 149 violations of territorial airspace, 60 violations of territorial waters, flagrant violations of Lebanese sovereignty, and in violation of resolution 1701 (2006), demanded full respect for the Blue Line. Lebanon demands an immediate cessation of such violations.", "Lebanon affirms that, since the adoption of resolution 1701 (2006), Israel's invasion of the Blue Line and Lebanon's sovereignty by about 8,362 sea land and air violations constitute a flagrant violation of the aforementioned resolution and all other relevant United Nations resolutions, most notably Security Council resolution 425 (1978) of 19 March 1978. Between the 2006 Israeli attack on Lebanon and February 2010, Israel committed three to four violations against Lebanon every day and repeatedly threatened to destroy Lebanese infrastructure. These violations threaten international peace and security and flagrantly violate the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. Lebanon calls on the international community to exert pressure on Israel to put an end to the daily violations of Lebanese sovereignty and to respect the international resolutions adopted by the United Nations.", "(b) Lebanon once again reminds the international community of Israel's attempts to destroy resolution 1701 (2006) by hundreds of thousands. On 7 December 2009, the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced that resolution 1701 (2006) had broken down.", "(c) On 15 May 2011, the Lebanese army strengthened its measures by holding events to commemorate the catastrophe in the village of Marrás in southern Lebanon. However, despite this, the Israeli enemy fired fire on a group of defenceless civilians who gathered to commemorate in the above-mentioned areas, killing 10 people and injured 112, some of them seriously. The Israeli enemy once again killed and injured innocent civilians as an act of aggression and once again demonstrated Israel's violation of Lebanese sovereignty and disregard for United Nations resolutions. Israel's arbitrary use of violence against civilians is also again evidence of a flagrant violation of international law and international norms, including international humanitarian law. Lebanon calls on the Security Council to fulfil its responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. The Council should exert pressure on Israel to put an end to hostile policies and provocations against Lebanon and to hold its responsibility to attack and kill civilians.", "(d) The recruitment of spying networks by the Israeli enemy is a flagrant aggression against Lebanon, an attack on its sovereignty and an indiscriminate violation of international resolutions, in particular Security Council resolution 1701 (2006). Israel has recruited more than 150 extremists to assist their intelligence agencies by ordering them to carry out destructive actions inside and outside the areas deployed by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). These spying networks recruit enemy elements for Israel to collect information, infiltrate Lebanese society and civil and military institutions and threaten national security. Israel also ordered the bombings, assassinations of Lebanese personalities, terrorist activities and attacks on Lebanese infrastructure. These networks use the fixed and mobile communications networks of extremists to control Lebanon and to steal the voices of Lebanese nationals. This is a violation of Lebanon's communications security. This violation has been carried out today because of the frequency of the mobile phone marketers and their passwords and servers to Israel and the provision of a thorough study of the operational procedures of the mobile sites. Lebanon had protested the Security Council on the spying network operated by Israel in Lebanon, which provided detailed information on the damage ordered directly by the Israeli spying sector. In that regard, the International Telecommunication Union, at its Plenipotentiary conference in Mexico, condemned Israel's piracy in the telecommunications sector in Lebanon.", "(e) UNIFIL continues to make every effort to ensure that Israeli forces withdraw from areas known as 14B. The area is located in the Lebanese side of the village of Ghajar and in the area where there is no residence. The Government of Lebanon continues to cooperate with UNIFIL to achieve that goal. However, despite these efforts, the Israeli army continues to occupy these areas in flagrant violation of its obligations under Security Council resolution 1701 (2006). The resolution stipulates that Israel must immediately and unconditionally withdraw from the village of Ghajar. Israel's late withdrawal from the 14B area has compelled us to suspect Israel's commitment to the implementation of the resolution and the Security Council to compel it to end its occupation. The international community must act to ensure Israel's full withdrawal from Lebanese territory and 14B areas in the village of Ghajar as soon as possible. Such withdrawal is not an option but one of the key requirements of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006). The Israeli Government, despite this fact, tried to confuse.", "AD(*) Translator's note that the text usually appears in previous letters, but it appears that the author did not intend to delete.", "(f) Lebanon believes that Israel's continued occupation of the Shab'a Farms in Lebanon and the Kafur Shouba Churu is a threat to stability and security. Lebanon demands that the international community exert pressure on Israel to withdraw completely and unconditionally from all Lebanese territories and urges the Secretary-General of the United Nations to intensify its efforts to ensure Israel's withdrawal from the Territory. Lebanon reminds [the international community that, in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, Israel must withdraw from the Shab'a Farms and Kaful Shouba Chua]. AD(*)", "(g) Lebanon wishes to draw the attention of the international community to the fact that the distribution map of cluster bombs received by Lebanon from Israel is neither complete nor accurate. These bombs are still being populated by civilians, causing more than 400 deaths and injuries, 47 of which were killed, 353 were seriously injured or rendered disabled. It should be re-emphasized that the Government of Lebanon has doubted its distribution map from Israel, requesting information on the date of the Israeli bombardment used in the attack and indicating the number and types of such bombs. It should also be re-emphasized that the Lebanese army has requested the bombardment of air photographs and video photographs in the pre-empted areas. Many Lebanese civilians have died as a result of the Israeli cluster bombs and unexploded ordnance that were throwing during the attack on Lebanon. Israel bears full responsibility for its crimes against Lebanon and its people and should pay compensation. Lebanon urges the United Nations and donor countries to continue to address this issue in order to protect the lives of innocent civilians and calls for the necessary financial resources to the Lebanese Mine Action Centre to enable it to carry out its mandate.", "(h) The Israeli army continued its illegal patrolling in Lebanese territorial waters near the buoy line. The buoy line is a unilateral and unlawful re-entry into these waters. Israel's assumption of these buoys is the primacy of Lebanese territorial waters. The Israeli army also continued to fire warning the Lebanese fishing boat and to throw grenades. In addition, Israel has often launched bombardments in Lebanese territorial waters near the line. In paragraph 29 of his twelfth report on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) (Such105), the Secretary-General warned that such Israeli practices exacerbate tensions between the parties. Lebanon does not recognize any line established unilaterally and considers that Israeli measures are further violations of Lebanese sovereignty and violations of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006). Lebanon requested the United Nations to authorize UNIFIL to establish a buoy line consistent with international standards in the region.", "(i) On 9 July 2010, Lebanon deposited a map to the United Nations indicating the maritime boundary between Lebanon and the occupied Palestinian territory and the exclusive economic zone in Lebanon, and the geographical coordinates of the border established under international standards. On 11 October 2010, Lebanon also deposited two maps to the United Nations indicating the Western South-South maritime boundary in the above-mentioned economic zone and two tables indicating the geographical coordinates of these borders. In a letter dated 4 January and 17 February 2011, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Aliens of Lebanon requested the Secretary-General to direct UNIFIL to delineate a security line similar to its land-based Blue Line, in accordance with the mandate set out in the relevant United Nations resolutions and in coordination with the Lebanese forces. This line should be in line with the southern and south-west borders of the territorial waters and exclusive economic areas of Lebanon. This work is consistent with the role that UNIFIL has played in the demarcation of Lebanon's land border.", "The Lebanese forces continued to strengthen cooperation and strategic cooperation with UNIFIL on the ground.", "(a) Coordination between the Lebanese forces and UNIFIL is most prominent in joint patrols, joint inspections and joint military training activities and exercises conducted by the parties.", "(b) Lebanon stresses that the Secretary-General's report on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) has never referred to signs of arms smuggling into the UNIFIL area of operations. All seized weapons were left behind in the Israeli war against Lebanon in summer 2006. Lebanon also re-emphasizes that since the Secretary-General's recent report to the Security Council on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006), the Lebanese forces and the Lebanese security forces have never reported incidents of arms smuggling.", "(c) Israel claims that Lebanese civilians are stored in southern areas and military installations. This is simply fabricated in order to justify the massacre and terrorist acts by Israel against innocent civilians in Lebanon under the pretext of countering them, even though all international instruments, in particular international humanitarian law, prohibit and punish the targeting of civilians.", "(d) Lebanon continues to participate in the tripartite meetings held to maintain peace along the Blue Line. These meetings are the appropriate way to resolve outstanding issues in resolution 1701 (2006) and the outbreak points along the Blue Line. Israel's adherence to unilateral measures undermines these tripartite meetings and the role of UNIFIL in maintaining peace in the area of operations. Moreover, these unilateral measures are intended to raise doubts about the ability of the Lebanese Armed Forces to protect Lebanese national sovereignty and are contrary to the spirit of resolution 1701 (2006).", "(e) With regard to the location of mark along the Blue Line, Lebanon once again affirmed the agreement reached at the Tripartite Conference to achieve and accelerate progress in that endeavour. Israel's delay in this regard is a question of its trueness.", "Lebanon stresses the importance of strengthening and increasing international assistance to build the capacity of the Lebanese forces and security forces to enable them to fulfil their responsibilities in defending Lebanon's sovereignty and protecting the Lebanese people. Lebanese forces need additional assistance in weapons and ammunition and require more modern surveillance and advanced communications equipment. Lebanon also needs training in the use of all such equipment and devices.", "Despite the limited capacity and resources of the Lebanese forces, the Government of Lebanon decided to deploy two additional battalions south of the Litani River to further demonstrate Lebanon's commitment to the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006).", "On the economic front, we reiterate our support for the call made by resolution 1701 (2006) to the international community to require additional assistance for the reconstruction and development of Lebanon. In that regard, we urge the States participating in the Stockholm Conference, the Third Paris Conference and the Vienna Conference to honour their commitments. Lebanon is very grateful to UNIFIL for all economic and social programmes and humanitarian assistance, including quick-impact projects and first aid services, provided to the people of Lebanon in the area of operations.", "If stability and security are to be strengthened, the transition from a cessation of hostilities to a permanent ceasefire will be necessary." ]

Funds amounting to RSD 67,815.2 million were allocated for the purpose of defence financing for 2010. This amount also included resources for the supplementary financing of military pensions (RSD 22,946.7 million). The earmarked funds exceeded the funds allocated for 2009 (RSD 65,663.7 million) by 3.28 per cent.", "2. In 2010, the sum of RSD 67,806.3 million was spent for defence, which amounts to 99.9 per cent of the total earmarked resources. The resources spent for defence were allocated as follows:", "• military expenditures RSD 44,573.8 million (65.7 per cent)", "• civil defence RSD 285.8 million (0.4 per cent)", "• military pensions (supplementary financing) RSD 22,946.7 million (33.9 per cent)", "3. The resources for military expenditures (RSD 44,573.8 million) were spent as follows:", "(a) operational costs: RSD 40,324.4 million (90.5 per cent), including RSD 23,433.2 million for salaries and reimbursements/allowance for the employees in the Serbian Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defense and RSD 14,993.8 million for regular sustenance, which includes logistic support, training and other tasks within the scope of regular activities;", "(b) procurement and construction: RSD 4,193.1 million (9.4 per cent), including RSD 3,089.3 million for armaments and military equipment and RSD 1,103.8 million for construction and maintenance of military facilities;", "(c) research and development: RSD 56.3 million (0.1 per cent).", "4. The largest portion of the resources is appropriated for regular activities and salaries (90.5 per cent), which significantly limits the resources for armaments and military equipment, construction of military facilities and flats and research and development. The procurement of more modern and more complex technical systems is impossible, and available resources are limited to general overhaul and minor technical upgrades and the procurement of ammunition and movables for general purposes. As a result, the SAF inevitably lags behind neighbouring countries in technical terms. There is a similar situation in the military construction field, where the funds were used for construction, the purchase of buildings and facilities and for capital maintenance. It was a priority to spend funds on better working conditions for employees; housing, however, was neglected owing to insufficient funds. The impossibility of resolving the housing issues of the Serbian Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defense members within the earmarked budget has been a significant problem for years. The Government therefore adopted a master plan, to ensure resources by selling surplus real estate and movables, to be used for financing the reform of the Ministry and the purchase of flats for members of the Serbian Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defense.", "5. In 2010, the expenditures for the procurement of equipment and for the general overhaul and upgrading of armaments and military equipment amounted to RSD 3,089.3 million, and thus are lower than the 2009 amount by RSD 4,394.9 million.", "6.

"然而，我们必须找到局势的持久解决办法。这将要求双方合作。因此，我们敦促叙利亚和以色列恢复和平谈判，以便根据马德里会议和平框架达成一项全面和平协议。", "联合王国对叙利亚境内持续不断的暴力及其对地区和平与稳定明显构成的威胁深感关切。特别是，在这方面，我们对5月15日和6月5日发生在观察员部队行动区内的伤亡事件感到痛惜。我们希望，导致发生这些悲惨事件的情况(包括叙利亚政府的作用)将会受到彻查。我们敦促双方保持克制，避免采取挑衅性行动，以防止停火线一带紧张升级。", "我们还感到关切的是，秘书长发现叙利亚国内反政府示威活动已蔓延到限制区内叙利亚一侧。我们一再敦促叙利亚政府停止暴力，建设性地回应叙利亚人民的正当要求，并进行有意义的改革。叙利亚政府非但没有这样做，反而以残暴的武力对待呼吁改革的正当要求。过去3个月估计已有1 400人死于这些暴力。这是完全不可接受的。", "我们还对叙利亚政府继续阻挠联合国帮助缓解危机和向叙利亚人民提供援助的尝试感到非常关切。阿萨德总统拒绝接听秘书长打来的电话。他的政权禁止人道主义组织进入。人权理事会授权的实况调查团未获准许进入该国开展工作。叙利亚政府的行动致使越来越多的叙利亚难民越过边界涌入土耳其和黎巴嫩。", "叙利亚局势不可持续。如果我们真想看到暴力结束，安理会就应当发出一个明确的信息，强调我们的集体关切。因此，联合王国将继续推动安理会就更广泛的叙利亚局势通过一项决议。",

"5月15日和6月5日，观察员部队行动地区内发生示威活动,导致数名平民伤亡，用秘书长的报告(S/2011/359)第3段的话说，“危及长期保持的停火”。我们完全赞同这一评估。我们对生命损失深表遗憾，并对这些事件严重关切，这是观察员部队任务授权确定以来发生的最严重事件。", "这种事件不能不谈，这也是我们偏离往年重申同一决议的长期做法的原因所在。虽然我们呼吁以色列和叙利亚双方履行1974年部队地位协议规定义务，但我们注意到，这些示威活动没有叙利亚同意不可能发生。我们呼吁叙利亚避免采取任何可能导致进一步动荡的行动。叙利亚当局以最残暴的手段镇压全国各地的反政府示威，但却在5月15日和6月5日积极鼓励在该国最敏感地区之一举行反以色列示威。叙利亚似乎愿意冒爆发国际冲突之险，以转移对其压制本国人民要求政治自由的正当呼声的注意。此后在耶尔穆克难民营发生的骚乱表明，巴勒斯坦难民已经意识到，他们和他们的愿望在这场非常危险的游戏中被利用和操纵了。", "叙利亚境内的暴力必须停止。必须释放被囚禁的示威者，实施有意义的改革，而不是传播恐惧。挑拨叙利亚多元社会中各方相互对立将无济于事。我们同秘书长一道呼吁安全理事会在叙利亚局势问题上阐明自己的立场。我们认为早该如此。", "迪卡洛夫人(美利坚合众国)(以英语发言)：联合国脱离接触观察员部队(观察员部队)1974年以来一直在维持以色列和叙利亚之间的停火方面发挥着重要作用。我们欢迎今天的表决。几周前，观察员部队行动区的平静气氛被严重扰乱。美国对5月15日和6月5日戈兰高地发生的严重事件深表关切。我们对有可信报告显示叙利亚政府参与示威活动进一步感到不安，这些示威已经造成伤亡。这些行动是叙利亚政府的明显伎俩，企图在脱离接触线一带煽动暴力，转移公众对其不分青红皂白地杀戮和侵犯叙利亚人民人权的关注。", "这些事件清楚地暴露了该政权的虚伪性。它利用巴勒斯坦事业鼓励暴力，不惜危及它与以色列的长期停火，同时继续残酷镇压叙利亚人民，拒绝接受他们要求改革和民主变革的呼吁。叙利亚人民已经展示勇气，要求向民主过渡。叙利亚政府必须停止开枪射杀示威者，允许和平抗议。叙利亚政府必须释放政治犯，停止非法逮捕和酷刑。叙利亚政府必须允许人权监察员进入，并开始认真对话，以推动民主过渡。", "在行动方面，我们对进一步限制观察员部队在隔离区的行动表示关切。双方必须遵守1974年脱离接触部队地位协定的规定，包括防止侵犯隔离区。", "最后，美国赞扬观察员部队男女官兵的奉献精神，并感谢埃卡尔马少将的领导。", "阿萨夫先生(黎巴嫩)(以阿拉伯语发言)：我们首先要强调联合国脱离观察员部队行动的重要性，并赞扬他们作出的牺牲。今天，黎巴嫩加入各国协商一致意见，通过了第1994(2011)号决议。我们本希望一如既往通过一项技术性决议，同时发表主席声明，重申需要达成全面、和平解决中东冲突的方案。我们希望今后能够再次这样做。", "我们谴责以色列试图改变人口结构，明显改变被占领叙利亚戈兰地区的状况，尤其是通过扩张和扩大定居点这样去做，公然违反国际法、大会第497(1981)号决议和《日内瓦第四公约》。我们呼吁以色列执行安理会第242(1967)和第338(1973)号决议，全部撤离被占领戈兰高地，撤回到1967年界线。我们强调实现中东地区公正、持久、全面和平的重要性。", "布里安先生(法国)(以法语发言)：今天安全理事会重申，它支持联合国脱离接触观察员部队(观察员部队)。然而，今天通过的第1994(2011)号决议同以前决议有很大的不同，它是对戈兰高地局势非常令人不安的事态的回应。自1974年《脱离接触协定》以来，以色列和叙利亚之间的停火线一直是该地区最稳定的边界线；但5月15日和6月5日连续发生重大事故，威胁到1973年以来一直维持的停火，危及该地区的稳定和安全。", "因此，安理会今天提醒双方，它们有义务充分尊重1974年协定和安理会决议。这些义务包括防止侵犯停火线和隔离区。5月15日和6月5日叙方发生违反情况，显示叙利亚当局不遵守这些义务。安理会还提醒双方，务必行使最大的克制。法国对这些事件造成多人伤亡深表遗憾。", "观察员部队的行动受到叙方限制，部队受到叙方攻击，这是不可接受的。我谨指出，维和部队行动自由是部署维和行动的一个基本要求，也是国家同意接受在其领土上部署维和行动而接受的相应义务。因此，双方必须通过确保观察员部队的安全和行动充分自由来充分保证其任务的履行。", "这就是今天决议传递的信息，它表明了安理会对戈兰地区所发生的事件可能产生的潜在破坏稳定的影响深表关切。事件的起源很清楚：秘书长的报告(S/2011/359)显示，隔离区的巴勒斯坦示威者得益于叙利亚当局的视而不见，即使叙利亚当局没有实际帮助他们。叙利亚当局有义务通过防止有人侵犯脱离接触线和隔离区保证遵守停火。这些违约情况就发生在叙利亚安全部队的鼻子底下，以致报告显示，他们实际上控制示威。", "没有人试图否认巴勒斯坦人实现建立一个独立、主权国家，与以色列和平毗邻相处的愿望的正当性，法国一贯支持根据这些精神恢复谈判。", "安理会不能接受的是，叙利亚政权虚伪地利用了巴勒斯坦人民的渴望，从而威胁了区域稳定。5月15日和6月5日发生的事件都惨痛地表明，叙利亚政权企图转移国际上对遭到其血腥镇压的本国人民愿望的注意。", "请让我表明，任何破坏区域稳定的企图都不会转移我们对叙利亚残酷、有系统地镇压和平示威者行动的注意。恰恰相反，这些威胁到国际和平与安全的举动只会坚定我们让安理会就叙利亚局势表态的决心。叙利亚的稳定对于中东至关重要，安理会对该地区的脆弱性太了解了。只有停止针对示威者的暴力，切实实行符合叙利亚人民掌握自身命运这一正当愿望的各项改革，才能实现稳定。", "上周，秘书长请安全理事会成员国消除其分歧，向叙利亚当局发出这一明确信号。安理会刚刚一致通过的决议证明，在国际和平与安全岌岌可危时，它仍有能力做出反应。我们必须从中吸取经验教训，响应秘书长的呼吁，努力通过一项决议，向叙利亚当局发出能够维护和平与安全的唯一信号，而维护和平与安全正是安理会的首要职责。", "潘金先生(俄罗斯联邦)(以俄语发言)：俄罗斯联邦是关于将驻被占领叙利亚戈兰高地的联合国脱离接触观察员部队(观察员部队)的任期延长6个月的首项决议草案的提案国。我们支持这支部队发挥的重要的稳定作用。我们认为，在该地区紧张局势结束之前，该部队在该地区的存在是必要的。", "俄罗斯联邦对决议草案投了赞成票，想以此沿用一种长期有效的做法，即：安理会成员在主席声明中一致表示支持秘书长的看法，认为该地区的局势不稳定，并且这种不稳定局势将持续下去，直到找到一个涵盖中东问题所有方面的全面解决办法。尽管安理会未就此达成一致，并且在这方面存有疑虑，但是我们相信，关于实现中东问题解决的这个重要想法在今天通过的决议中得到了体现。", "我们呼吁双方继续与按照观察员部队任务授权、在现有协议框架内行动的联合国工作人员积极合作，遵守停火协定；协助联合国部队履行其使命；以及确保其工作人员的安全和行动自由。我们认为，联合国观察员部队的能力和资源足以使其执行任务。", "最后，我愿强调，刚刚通过的决议(俄罗斯是其共同提案国)是技术性的，与叙利亚或以色列政治局势的动态毫无关系。叙利亚未列入安全理事会议程，因为它没有威胁到国际和平与安全。", "王民先生(中国)：中方十分关注中东地区形势，赞赏联脱部队为维持地区局势稳定发挥的重要作用，支持联脱部队顺利延期。", "叙利亚问题是该国的内部事务，应由叙利亚有关各方自己通过对话和协商寻求妥善解决。叙利亚问题与联脱部队延期是两个完全不同的问题。不应将上述问题相联系，导致联脱部队延期问题政治化、复杂化。", "当前中东形势十分复杂敏感。国际社会应多做有利于维护地区和平与稳定的事情，应积极推动有关各方在安理会相关决议基础上，实现中东地区的全面、公正和持久和平。", "贾法里先生(阿拉伯叙利亚共和国)(以阿拉伯语发言)：首先，阿拉伯叙利亚共和国政府愿对维持和平行动部(维和部)以及联合国脱离接触观察员部队(观察员部队)成员所做的努力表示赞赏。我希望他们记住本次发言。", "驻被占领戈兰高地的观察员部队工作人员身处我国领土的一部分，而自1967年以来这部分领土一直遭到以色列的占领。观察员部队之所以驻扎在戈兰，就是因为以色列占领了戈兰。我希望各位同事始终牢记这一事实。为此，我们愿赞赏维持和平行动部和驻被占领戈兰高地的观察员部队人员努力遵守《脱离接触协定》，维护部队行动区的和平与安全，这当然是为了执行其任务授权。", "观察员部队历来是、并将继续是联合国在世界各地开展的所有此类维和行动中最安全的维和行动。自1974年建立这支部队以来，叙利亚一直支持观察员部队的工作，为它提供便利，以及尊重它的任务授权。", "此外，叙利亚与观察员部队和联合国停战监督组织的官员以及维和部保持密切联系已有约40年，以色列占领戈兰高地也有这么长时间了。", "自1967年以色列开始占领戈兰高地以来，秘书长发表的定期报告一直赞赏叙利亚在与观察员部队及其工作人员积极合作、确保他们的安全以及尊重他们的任务授权方面的积极态度。我代表阿拉伯叙利亚共和国重申，我们将尽一切必要努力，保证观察员部队人员的安全，以确保其任务授权的成功执行。", "叙利亚感到遗憾的是，一些同事提及的人们长期追求的中东地区的公正、全面和平尚未实现。以色列尚未执行第242(1967)号决议、第338(1973)号决议、第497(1981)号决议以及这方面的各项国际倡议，其中包括《阿拉伯和平倡议》以及其它众所周知的提议，从被占领的戈兰高地撤走。它还不遵守国际法。这自然导致这支部队在部分我国被占领土上长期驻留。", "在这方面，我们恳请安全理事会发挥其应有作用，结束以色列对我国领土的占领，从而维护安理会通过自己的各项决议赋予自身的授权，并且履行其维护国际和平与安全的任务。", "自最近叙利亚国内的事件和事态发展开始以来，特别是在某些极端分子开始使用暴力并且拿起武器对抗维护法律和秩序的部队和危害无辜叙利亚公民，包括和平示威者之后，对我们和世界各地的许多观察人士都已经清楚的一点是，一些方面，包括就在这个安全理事会中的一些方面，正企图以站不住脚的借口和理由为由让安理会介入与安理会的作用、职责或授权毫不相关的国内事态发展。", "我们无需赘述我们看到的某些安理会成员试图使安理会介入与其无关问题的这些企图，但我们必须承认，我们感到困惑的是，其中一些方面企图把提及叙利亚内政的内容纳入延长观察员部队任务期限的技术性决议草案之中，我们感谢一些同事向我们透露了这种企图。这是一个技术性问题，安理会在以色列占领我国戈兰的多年中几十次以技术性方式处理了这个问题。这种利用纯属叙利亚国内事态的做法完全是为了向叙利亚施加政治压力，也又一次表明，某些会员国将毫不犹豫地把安全理事会作为强行推行它们自己政策的工具。叙利亚对没有参与这些不知羞耻的伎俩和可疑活动的安理会成员深表赞赏。", "我们要指出，巴沙尔·阿萨德总统宣布进行的改革将通过全国对话大会在实地开展，这源自于总统坚信必须开展将满足叙利亚人民需求和愿望的改革，对话大会的有关协商将于近几天开始。我们应当牢记，其中一些改革已经在实地切实施行，并且得到国际社会的支持和赞赏，我们已向秘书长和安全理事会成员先后报告过有关情况。", "自1974年组建观察员部队以来，我们不断提请安全理事会和秘书长注意以色列占领国——这是以色列的合法头衔——及其当局的活动。它们在戈兰修建定居点，目前达44个。它们继续在戈兰的叙利亚城市周边修建绕行道路，并且继续抽取成千上万叙利亚农民赖以为生的Mas'adah湖的湖水。它们继续压迫拒绝携带以色列身份证和拒绝接受以色列占领的叙利亚戈兰高地居民，并且开展逮捕这些人的行动。", "1981年，安理会一致通过了其著名的第497(1981)号决议，这项决议谴责并且拒绝承认占领国以色列吞并被占领戈兰高地的决定。", "看起来，今天发言的一些代表对所有这些消息充耳不闻。过去三十年来，他们在他们有关联合国决议和延长观察员部队任务期限的发言中甚至从未提到过这些问题。我们在被占领戈兰高地上人民的苦难早就应当被提到。相反，这些发言者完全把注意力放在纯属一个本组织创始会员国的内政上面。", "根据昨天在哥伦比亚特区华盛顿公布的一份报告，美国军方最近发动的战争已耗资4万亿美元。这些战争带来了伊拉克、阿富汗和世界其它地区的灾难。我们现在还听说北约未遵守第1973(2011)号决议严格任务授权的丑闻，我们所有人都看得到这个丑闻。对安全理事会授权相关的是这些事实，而非本来会发生在本组织任何一个会员国中的一些内部国内事件。", "我国接收了200万伊拉克难民，他们因美国和英国领导的军事入侵而逃离伊拉克。但是，我们没有把我们的兄弟们安置在难民营中并要求他们在帐篷中生活。我们在他们等待伊拉克解放后返回自己的家园之前接纳了他们。自我们开始接收这200万伊拉克难民以来，国际社会中没有一个国家提供过人道主义援助，帮助我们承担由于英国和美国对伊拉克的入侵和占领而加诸于我们的这一负担。因以色列对巴勒斯坦领土的占领，我们收容了50万巴勒斯坦难民，另有被逐出戈兰的50万叙利亚人。", "今天发言对叙利亚内部事件表示关切的人中没有一人向我们提供任何形式的人道主义支助，帮助我们面对这些危险的挑战，而它们不是我们自己造成的。此外，没有任何好莱坞明星来看望逃到我国的数百万难民。", "是的，正如我们的一位同事指出的那样，叙利亚的稳定对中东是重要的——是非常重要的。因此，威胁这一稳定对于该区域和国际安全与稳定而言是极其危险的，当此种干预是那些基于原则和政治原因对我们不怀好意的国家所为时则尤为如此。同样是这些国家要对1916年的《赛克斯-皮科协定》、1917年的《贝尔福宣言》和区域分治带来的灾难负责。那些记性不太好的人在寻求清楚地认识世界上正在发生的情况时应当牢记这些重要的考虑。", "德国代表说起对叙利亚多元社会的关切，同德国的行动南辕北辙，它近年来向以色列提供了6艘能够装备核弹头的潜艇。我将不谈更多的细节，因为我将必须谈到其他发言者，他们也向以色列提供了核技术，帮助它建造核反应堆，并袒护以色列拒绝加入《不扩散核武器条约》和把其核设施置于国际监督之下。", "所有这些只是我想要讨论的内容的一部分，但是我谨感谢你主席先生让我发言。我希望安理会将注重其职权范围以内的实际问题，而不是侵犯一个联合国会员国的主权和插手其内部事务。", "主席(以法语发言)：我现在请以色列代表发言。", "Prosor先生(以色列)(以英语发言)：以色列深切赞赏联合国脱离接触观察员部队(观察员部队)所做的工作。国际社会必须继续支持它的任务，这依然是我们区域稳定的一个重要组成部分。", "在我们目睹中东前所未有的动荡之际，各方充分遵守以色列同叙利亚之间的脱离接触线的必要性，从未如此明确。然而，在数十年的相对平静之后，我们目睹叙利亚一方几次公然试图突破该线，加剧了我们区域的紧张局势。", "5月15日，在迈季代勒舍姆斯村，一大群有组织的抗议者拉倒叙利亚境内的阿尔法篱笆，越过同以色列的脱离接触线并对以色列国防军采取暴力行动。6月5日，我们看到该线上发生了另一起挑衅行动。数百人试图在迈季代勒舍姆斯和库奈特拉地区越过同以色列的脱离接触线。他们设法穿过该地的篱笆，向以色列国防军投掷燃烧瓶和其他大块物体，并用其他暴力手段达到他们的目的。", "尽管叙利亚政权对此显然负有责任，但它未阻止示威者到达脱离接触线或越过它的企图。相反，这些叙利亚当局不可能不知情的事件表明，叙利亚公然企图转移国际上对其暴力镇压本国人民行径的注意力。在所有这些抗议中都露出了叙利亚政权的蛛丝马迹，在我看来，你不需要是纽约警察局的法医专家就可看出。", "在6月5日叙利亚境内亚尔穆克巴勒斯坦难民营的抗议之后发生的事件，是叙利亚介入示威的一个突出的例子。我想，巴沙尔·阿萨德是我所知道的积极参与遮掩其本国人民和实际上整个区域的希望视线的唯一的眼科医生。", "叙利亚-以色列脱离接触线平静了几十年。不能仅仅因为叙利亚政权不想让人听到它本国公民的呼声，就允许它扰乱这一平静。我要代表以色列国感谢主席和多年来观察员部队中辛勤工作的所有人，因为正如我说过的那样，他们的工作是我们区域稳定的一个重要组成部分。", "主席(以法语发言)：安全理事会就此结束现阶段对其议程上项目的审议。", "下午12时20分散会。" ]

I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.", "A vote was taken by show of hands.", "In favour:", "Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, China, Colombia, France, Gabon, Germany, India, Lebanon, Nigeria, Portugal, Russian Federation, South Africa, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and United States of America.", "The President (spoke in French): There were 15 votes in favour. The draft resolution has been adopted unanimously as resolution 1994 (2010).", "I shall now call on those members of the Council who wish to make statements following the adoption of the resolution.", "Mr. Parham (United Kingdom): We voted in favour of resolution 1994 (2011) today as the United Kingdom welcomes the efforts of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) to maintain stability within its area of operations. It continues to play a valuable and effective role.", "We must, however, find a lasting solution to the situation. That will require the cooperation of both parties. We therefore urge Syria and Israel to resume peace negotiations aimed at achieving a comprehensive peace agreement, in accordance with the Madrid Conference terms of reference for peace.", "The United Kingdom is gravely concerned by the ongoing violence in Syria and the clear threat to regional peace and stability that it presents. In particular, in this context we deplore the loss of life which occurred in UNDOF’s area of operations on 15 May and 5 June. We hope that the circumstances which led to these tragic events, including the role of the Syrian Government, will be investigated thoroughly. We urge both parties to show restraint and to refrain from provocations so as to prevent an escalation of tensions along the ceasefire line.", "We are also concerned at the Secretary-General’s finding that anti-Government demonstrations in Syria have spread to the area of limitation on the Syrian side. We have repeatedly urged the Syrian Government to halt the violence, to respond constructively to the legitimate demands of the Syrian people, and to implement meaningful reforms. It has not done so. Instead, it has met legitimate demands for reform with brute force in which an estimated 1,400 people have died in the past three months. This is completely unacceptable.", "We are also very concerned that the Syrian Government continues to obstruct United Nations attempts to help alleviate the crisis and bring assistance to the Syrian people. President Al-Assad refuses to accept phone calls from the Secretary-General; his regime has barred access to humanitarian organizations; and the Human Rights Council-mandated fact-finding mission has been refused permission to enter the country and carry out its work. The Government’s actions are causing increasing numbers of Syrian refugees to flood over the borders into Turkey and Lebanon.", "The situation in Syria is not sustainable. If we genuinely want to see an end to the violence, this Council should send a clear message underlining our collective concern. The United Kingdom will therefore continue to press for a Security Council resolution on the wider situation in Syria.", "Mr. Berger (Germany): The United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) was established in 1974. It has been operating for more than 37 years now. We salute the men and women who serve and have served to support UNDOF in the discharge of its mandate. We look forward to receiving in the next report of the Secretary-General an assessment of the capacity of UNDOF to ensure the appropriate operational capability in the future.", "On 15 May and 5 June, demonstrations in the UNDOF area of operations resulted in a number of civilian casualties that, to quote paragraph 3 of the Secretary-General’s report (S/2011/359), “put the long-held ceasefire in jeopardy”, an assessment we fully share. We deeply regret the loss of life and are gravely concerned about these events, which are the most serious incidents since the establishment of UNDOF’s mandate.", "Such events cannot go unreflected, which is why we deviated from the long-standing practice of reiterating the same resolution as in previous years. While we call on both parties, Israel and Syria, to fulfil their obligations under the 1974 status-of-forces agreement, we note that these demonstrations would not have been possible without Syrian consent, and we call on Syria to refrain from any action that could provoke further unrest. Throughout the country, Syrian authorities have been cracking down with the utmost brutality on demonstrations against their Government. On 15 May and 5 June, however, they actively encouraged demonstrations against Israel in one of the most sensitive areas of the country. Syria seems to be willing to risk an international conflict in order to divert attention from its repression of the legitimate calls for political freedom voiced by its population. Subsequent riots in the Yarmouk refugee camp indicate that Palestinian refugees have realized that they and their aspirations were manipulated and abused in this very dangerous game.", "The violence in Syria must stop. Imprisoned demonstrators must be freed, and instead of spreading fear, meaningful reforms must be implemented. Playing off parts of Syria’s multifaceted society against each other will not work. We join in the Secretary‑General’s call to the Security Council to express itself on the situation in Syria. For us, this is long overdue.", "Mrs. DiCarlo (United States of America): The United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) has played a critical role in maintaining the ceasefire between Israel and Syria since 1974, and we welcome today’s vote. The calm in UNDOF’s area of operations was seriously disrupted just weeks ago. The United States is deeply concerned about the grave events of 15 May and 5 June in the Golan Heights. We are further troubled by credible reports that the Syrian Government played a role in those demonstrations, which resulted in fatalities and injuries. These actions are a transparent ploy by the Syrian Government to incite violence along the disengagement line in order to divert public attention from its own indiscriminate killings and abuses of the human rights of the Syrian people.", "These events display clearly the regime’s hypocrisy. It uses the Palestinian cause to encourage violence and risk its long-standing ceasefire with Israel, while continuing to brutally repress the Syrian people and deny their call for reform and democratic change. The Syrian people have shown their courage in demanding a transition to democracy. The Syrian Government must stop shooting demonstrators and allow peaceful protests. It must release political prisoners and stop unjust arrests and torture. It must allow human rights monitors access and start a serious dialogue in order to advance a democratic transition.", "In operational terms, we are concerned about the increased restrictions on UNDOF’s movement in the area of separation. Both parties must respect the terms of the 1974 disengagement of forces agreement, including by preventing breaches of the area of separation.", "Finally, the United States commends the men and women of UNDOF for their dedication, and thanks Major-General Ecarma for his leadership.", "Mr. Assaf (Lebanon) (spoke in Arabic): We wish at the outset to emphasize the importance of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force’s operations, and to pay tribute to the sacrifices it has made. Today Lebanon joined the consensus in adopting resolution 1994 (2011). We would have preferred that it be technical in nature, as had always been the case in the past, when the resolution was accompanied by a presidential statement recalling the need to arrive at a comprehensive, peaceful solution to the conflict in the Middle East. We hope that this will be the case once again in future.", "We condemn Israel’s attempt to change demographics and to bring about significant changes in the occupied Syrian Golan area, particularly through the extension and expansion of settlements, which is a flagrant violation of international law, of General Assembly resolution 497 (1981) and the Fourth Geneva Convention. We call on Israel to implement Security Council resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973) and to withdraw completely from the occupied Golan Heights to the 1967 line. We stress the importance of arriving at a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the region of the Middle East.", "Mr. Briens (France) (spoke in French): Today the Security Council has reaffirmed its support for the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF). However, the resolution that was adopted today — resolution 1994 (2011) — is profoundly different from its predecessors in its response to the very disturbing developments in the situation in the Golan Heights. Since the 1974 Agreement on Disengagement, the ceasefire line between Israel and Syria had been the most stable borderline in the region; then, in rapid succession, on 15 May and 5 June, major incidents occurred that threatened the ceasefire observed since 1973, jeopardizing stability and security in the region.", "Today, therefore, the Council reminds the parties of their obligation to fully respect the 1974 Agreement and the Council’s resolutions. Those obligations involve preventing violations of the ceasefire line and the area of separation. The violations of 15 May and 5 June on the Syrian side show that the Syrian authorities did not respect those obligations. The Council also reminds the parties that they must show the utmost restraint, and France deeply regrets the many casualties of those incidents.", "UNDOF’s movements have been restricted and the Force attacked by the Syrian side. That is unacceptable. Freedom of movement for peacekeepers is, I should recall, a fundamental element in the deployment of peacekeeping operations, as a corollary of the State’s consent in accepting such a deployment on its territory. The parties must therefore fully guarantee UNDOF’s implementation of its mandate by ensuring its security and complete freedom of movement.", "That is the message that today’s resolution sends, reflecting the Council’s deep concern about the potential destabilizing influence in the region of the events in the Golan. The origin of those events is clear: the Secretary-General’s report (S/2011/359) shows that the Palestinian demonstrators in the area of separation benefited from being ignored by the Syrian authorities, even if they were not actually helped by them. The Syrian authorities were under the obligation to guarantee respect for the ceasefire by preventing violations of the line of disengagement and the area of separation. Those violations took place under the nose of the Syrian security forces, such that the report indicates that they controlled the demonstration.", "No one is seeking to deny the legitimacy of the Palestinians’ aspirations to achieve an independent, sovereign State, living side by side in peace with Israel, and France has always supported a resumption of negotiations along those lines. What the Council cannot accept is the hypocritical use by the Syrian regime of the aspirations of the Palestinian people and the resulting threat to regional stability. The incidents of 15 May and 5 June are a tragic manifestation of this attempt by the Syrian regime to distract international attention from the aspirations of its own people, which it is now crushing amid bloodshed.", "Let me be clear: no attempt at regional destabilization will distract our attention from the brutal and systematic repression of peaceful demonstrators in Syria. Quite the contrary: these actions, which threaten international peace and security, strengthen our determination to see the Council express its views on the Syrian situation. The stability of Syria is crucial for the Middle East, a region whose fragility the Council knows only too well. Such stability can only come about through an end to the violence against the demonstrators and the effective implementation of reforms that meet the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people to control their own destiny.", "Last week the Secretary-General invited the members of the Security Council to overcome their differences and to send this clear message to the Syrian authorities. The resolution that the Council has just adopted unanimously is evidence of the fact that it has maintained its capacity to react when international peace and security are at stake. We must draw lessons from this and respond to the call of the Secretary-General by working to adopt a resolution that would send to the Syrian authorities the only message that can preserve peace and stability, for which the Council has primary responsibility.", "Mr. Pankin (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): The Russian Federation was the initiator of the first draft resolution on the extension of the mandate of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights for another six months. We support the important stabilizing role played by the Force, and we believe that its presence in the area is necessary until there is an end to tension in the area.", "The Russian Federation, which voted in favour of the draft resolution, wanted to continue the long-standing practice by which members of the Council unanimously express, in a presidential statement, their support for the view of the Secretary-General that the situation in the region is unstable and will remain so until a comprehensive settlement is achieved that covers all aspects of the Middle East problem. While there was not unanimity in the Council on this, as there were doubts in this regard, we are confident that this important idea about the Middle East settlement was reflected in the resolution adopted today.", "We call on both sides to continue to cooperate actively with United Nations personnel acting under the Force’s mandate and within the framework of existing agreements to observe the ceasefire agreement; to assist the United Nations Force in carrying out its mission; and to ensure the security and freedom of movement of its staff. We believe that the capacities and resources of the United Nations Force are sufficient for it to carry out its tasks.", "In conclusion, I should like to emphasize that the resolution just adopted, of which Russia was a co‑sponsor, is technical in nature and bears no relation to developments in the political situation in Syria or in Israel. Syria is not on the agenda of the Security Council because it does not pose a threat to international peace and security.", "Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): China is watching closely the situation in the Middle East. We commend the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) for the very important role it has played in maintaining regional stability, and we support the smooth renewal of UNDOF’s mandate.", "The events in Syria are an internal affair of that country. It should be left to the parties concerned to find a proper solution through dialogue and consultation. The question of Syria and the renewal of the mandate of UNDOF are two distinct issues and should not be linked, so as to avoid complicating and politicizing the renewal of UNDOF’s mandate.", "At present, the situation in the Middle East is extremely complex and sensitive. The international community must work to maintain regional peace and stability and to facilitate the efforts of the parties concerned to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East that is based on the relevant Security Council resolutions.", "Mr. Ja′afari (Syrian Arab Republic) (spoke in Arabic): The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic would like at the outset to express its appreciation for the efforts being made by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) and to the members of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF). I want them to remember this statement.", "UNDOF personnel in the occupied Golan Heights are on a part of our land that has been occupied by Israel since 1967. The reason UNDOF forces are in the Golan is the Israeli occupation of the Golan. I want this fact to remain present in the minds of our colleagues. We would therefore like to express our appreciation for the efforts being made by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and by UNDOF personnel in the occupied Golan Heights to observe the Agreement on Disengagement and to maintain peace and security in the Force’s area of operations, which is, of course, in implementation of its mandate.", "UNDOF has always been, and continues to be, the safest peacekeeping operation of all such operations being carried out by the United Nations throughout the world. Syria has supported and facilitated the work of UNDOF and respected its mandate since the Force was formed in 1974.", "Moreover, Syria has maintained close ties with officials of UNDOF and the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization, as well as with DPKO, for a period of approximately 40 years — the duration of the Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights.", "The periodic reports issued by the Secretary-General since the Israeli occupation of the Golan began in 1967 have expressed appreciation for Syria’s positive attitude in cooperating with UNDOF and its personnel as well as in ensuring their safety and respecting their mandate. On behalf of the Syrian Arab Republic, we reiterate that we will do everything necessary to maintain the safety of UNDOF’s personnel in order to ensure the success of its mandate.", "Syria expresses its regret that the long-sought-after just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East that certain colleagues have mentioned has not been achieved yet. Israel has not withdrawn from the occupied Golan Heights, in implementation of resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973) and 497 (1981) and of all international initiatives in that respect, including the Arab Peace Initiative and other well-known terms of reference. It has also not complied with international law. This has led, naturally, to the prolonged presence of that force in part of our occupied land.", "In that regard, we ask the Security Council to play its due role by putting an end to the Israeli occupation of our land and thus uphold the mandate that it has given itself through its own resolutions and fulfil its task of maintaining international peace and security.", "Ever since the start of the recent internal events and developments in Syria, and especially after certain extremists started using violence and bearing arms against the forces of law and order and innocent Syrian citizens, including peaceful demonstrators, it has become clear to us and to many observers throughout the world that some parties, including in this very Security Council, are attempting to involve the Council, on the pretext of weak excuses and justifications, in internal developments that have nothing to do with its role, responsibilities or mandate.", "Without going into detail concerning the attempts we have witnessed on the part of some Council members to involve the Council in issues that are none of its business, we must confess our bafflement over the attempts — described to us by certain colleagues, whom we thank — of some of these parties to include references to Syrian domestic affairs in a technical draft resolution extending the mandate of UNDOF. This is a technical issue that the Security Council has addressed in a technical manner dozens of times over the many years of the Israeli occupation of our Golan. This exploitation of strictly internal developments in Syria is aimed solely at putting political pressure on Syria, and is another indication of how some member States will not hesitate to continue to use the Security Council as a tool to enforce their own policies. Syria expresses its deep appreciation to the Council members that did not get involved in these brazen tactics and suspicious activities.", "We note that the reforms announced by President Bashar Al-Assad, which emanate from his belief in the need to implement reforms that will meet the demands and aspirations of the Syrian people, will be applied on the ground through the national dialogue conference, the consultations for which will begin in the next few days. We should keep in mind that some of these reforms have now become a tangible reality on the ground and enjoy the support and the appreciation of the international community, as we have reported consecutively to the Secretary-General and members of the Security Council.", "Since the formation of UNDOF in 1974, we have continued to draw the attention of the Security Council and the Secretary-General to the activities of Israel, the occupying Power — and that is its legal title — and its authorities. They have built settlements in the Golan, which now number 44. They continue to build bypass roads around Syrian cities in the Golan and to drain Mas'adah Lake, on which thousands of Syrian farmers depend for their living. They continue to oppress the citizens of the Syrian Golan Heights, who refuse to carry Israeli identification cards and reject the Israeli occupation, and to undertake campaigns to arrest them.", "In 1981, the Council unanimously adopted its renowned resolution 497 (1981), which condemned and rejected the Israeli occupying Power’s decision to annex the occupied Golan Heights.", "Not all of this news, it appears, has reached the ears of some representatives who have spoken today. They have never even mentioned these issues in their statements on United Nations resolutions and the renewal of the UNDOF mandate over the past 30 years. Our people’s suffering in the occupied Golan Heights deserved some reference a long time ago. Instead, these speakers focused exclusively on the strictly internal affairs of a founding State Member of this Organization.", "According to a report issued in Washington, D.C., yesterday, the recent wars waged by the United States military have cost $4 trillion. These wars have led to disasters in Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas of the world. We now also hear of the scandal of NATO’s failure to respect the strict mandate of resolution 1973 (2011), and this scandal is there for all to see. These facts, and not some internal domestic incidents that could have taken place in any State Member of the Organization, are relevant to the Security Council’s mandate.", "My country has received 2 million Iraqi refugees, who fled Iraq because of the American- and British-led military invasion. But we have not put our brothers in camps or asked them to live in tents. We welcomed them as they awaited the liberation of Iraq so that they could return to their own homes and land. Since we first received these 2 million Iraqi refugees, no one in the international community has even offered humanitarian aid to assist us in bearing the burden that has been thrust upon us by the British and United States invasion and occupation of Iraq. We host half a million Palestinian refugees as a result of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, and half a million Syrians displaced from the Golan.", "Not one of those who have spoken today to express their concern at the internal incidents in Syria has offered any form of humanitarian support to help us meet these dangerous challenges, which are not of our own creation. Moreover, no Hollywood stars have come to visit the millions of refugees who have fled to our country.", "Yes, Syria’s stability is important — very important — to the Middle East, as one of our colleagues has pointed out. Therefore, threatening this stability is extremely dangerous to the region and international security and stability, especially when such meddling is done by countries harbouring animosity towards us, based on principle and for political reasons. These are the same States responsible for the disasters of the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and the division of the region. These are important considerations that those with a poor memory should bear in mind when seeking a clear perception of what is happening in the world.", "To speak of concern for pluralistic Syrian society, as the representative of Germany did, is not at all consistent with Germany’s provision to Israel in recent years of six submarines that can be equipped with nuclear warheads. I will not go into further detail, as I would have to refer to other speakers who have also furnished Israel with nuclear technology, helped it to build nuclear reactors, and defended its refusal to join the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and to place its nuclear installations under international supervision.", "All of this is only part of what I would like to discuss, but I would like to thank you, Sir, for having given me the floor. I hope that the Council will focus on real issues within its mandate instead of encroaching upon the sovereignty of a State Member of the United Nations and meddling with its internal affairs.", "The President (spoke in French): I now give the floor to the representative of Israel.", "Mr. Prosor (Israel): Israel deeply appreciates the work carried out by the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF). The international community must continue to support its mission, which remains an important component of stability in our region.", "As we witness unprecedented turmoil in the Middle East, the need for all parties to fully respect the disengagement line between Israel and Syria has never been clearer. Yet after decades of relative quiet, we have witnessed several brazen attempts to breach the line from the Syrian side and raise tensions in our region.", "On 15 May, a large organized group of protesters tore down the Alpha fence in Syria, breached the disengagement line with Israel and carried out acts of violence against Israeli Defence Forces in the village of Majdal Chams. On 5 June, we saw another act of provocation on the line. Hundreds of individuals sought to breach the disengagement line with Israel in the areas of Majdal Chams and Quneitra. They tried to break through the fences in the area, threw Molotov cocktails and other large objects at the Israeli Defence Forces, and used other modes of violence to advance their goals.", "Despite its clear responsibilities, the Syrian regime did not prevent demonstrators from arriving at the disengagement line, or the attempts to cross it. To the contrary, these incidents, which could not have taken place without the knowledge of the Syrian authorities, reflect a blatant attempt by Syria to distract international attention from its violent repression of its own people. The Syrian regime’s fingerprints are all over these protests; to my mind, one does not have to be a New York City Police Department forensics expert to detect it.", "The events that followed the 5 June protests in the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in Syria provide one glaring example of Syrian involvement in the demonstration. I think Bashar Al-Assad is the only ophthalmologist I know who is actively engaged in blackening the vision of hope of his own people and, indeed, of the whole region.", "The Syrian-Israeli disengagement line has been quiet for decades. The Syrian regime cannot be allowed to disturb this quiet just because it does not want the cries of its own citizens to be heard. I want to thank, on behalf of the State of Israel, the President and all the people who have worked tirelessly in UNDOF over the years because their work, as I said, is an important component in the stability of our region.", "The President (spoke in French): The Security Council has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.", "The meeting rose at 12.20 p.m." ]

I shall now put the draft resolution to the vote.", "A vote was taken by show of hands.", "In favour:", "Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, China, Colombia, France, Gabon, Germany, India, Lebanon, Nigeria, Portugal, Russian Federation, South Africa, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United States of America", "The President (spoke in French): There were 15 votes in favour. The draft resolution was adopted unanimously as resolution 1994 (2011).", "I now give the floor to members of the Council who wish to make statements following the adoption of the resolution.", "Mr. Parham (United Kingdom): We voted in favour of resolution 1994 (2011), as the United Kingdom welcomes the efforts of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) to maintain stability in its area of operations. UNDOF continues to play a valuable and effective role.", "However, we must find a lasting solution to the situation. This would require cooperation between the parties. We therefore urge Syria and Israel to resume peace negotiations in order to reach a comprehensive peace agreement in accordance with the Madrid Peace Framework.", "The United Kingdom is deeply concerned about the ongoing violence in Syria and its obvious threat to regional peace and stability. In particular, we deplore the deaths and injuries that occurred in the area of operations of UNDOF on 15 May and 5 June. We hope that those tragic events, including the role of the Syrian Government, will be thoroughly investigated. We urge both parties to exercise restraint and refrain from provocative action to prevent the escalation of tension along the ceasefire line.", "We are also concerned that the Secretary-General has found that the internal anti-Government demonstrations in Syria have spread to the Syrian side of the restricted area. We have repeatedly urged the Government of Syria to put an end to violence and to constructively respond to the legitimate demands of the Syrian people and to make meaningful reforms. The Government of Syria has not yet done so, but it is countering the legitimate demands of the brutal use of force. Over the past three months, an estimated 1,400 people have died of these violence. This is totally unacceptable.", "We are also very concerned by the continuing obstruction of the United Nations to help alleviate the crisis and to provide assistance to the Syrian people. President Al-Assad refused to listen to the Secretary-General's call. His regime prohibited access by humanitarian organizations. The fact-finding mission mandated by the Human Rights Council was not allowed to enter the country. The Government's actions have resulted in the influx of more Syrian refugees into Turkey and Lebanon.", "The situation in Syria is unsustainable. If we really want to see the end of violence, the Council should send a clear message highlighting our collective concerns. The United Kingdom will therefore continue to promote the Council's adoption of a resolution on the wider situation in Syria.", "Mr. Beguel (Germany): The United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) was established in 1974. It has carried out more than 37 years to date. We pay tribute to the men and women who are now and who have served in UNDOF to support the Force in its mission. We look forward to receiving an assessment of the capacity of UNDOF in the next report of the Secretary-General to ensure that the Force will have appropriate operational capability in the future.", "On 15 May and 5 June, demonstrations in the area of operations of UNDOF resulted in the deaths and injuries of a number of civilians, and in paragraph 3 of the Secretary-General's report (Speak 359), “that endangers the long-term ceasefire”. We fully endorse this assessment. We deeply regret the loss of life and are gravely concerned about these events, which have been the most serious events since the mandate of UNDOF.", "Such incidents cannot be construed as the reason why we have departed from the long-term practice of reaffirming the same resolution in previous years. While we call on both Israel and Syria to fulfil their obligations under the 1974 status-of-forces agreement, we note that these demonstrations do not have the consent of Syria to occur. We call on Syria to avoid any action that may lead to further turmoil. The Syrian authorities, by the most brutal means, suppressed anti-Government demonstrations throughout the country, but actively encouraged the holding of anti-Israeli demonstrations in one of the most sensitive areas of the country on 15 May and 5 June. Syria appears to be willing to take the risk of erupting international conflicts in order to divert attention from its legitimate voices that oppress the people of its country for political freedom. The ensuing riots in the Jeremuk refugee camp suggest that Palestine refugees have been aware that their desires and their desires are used and manipulated in this very dangerous game.", "Violence in Syria must stop. There must be a release of the imprisoned demonstrators and a meaningful reform, not the spread of fear. All parties in a pluralistic society in Syria will be counterproductive. We join the Secretary-General in calling on the Security Council to clarify its position on the situation in Syria. We believe that this is too early.", "Mrs. Dikalo (United States of America): The United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) has been playing an important role in maintaining a ceasefire between Israel and Syria since 1974. We welcome the vote today. The atmosphere of calm in the area of operations of UNDOF has been severely disrupted several weeks ago. The United States expresses its deep concern at the serious incidents that occurred in the Golan Heights on 15 May and 5 June. We are further disturbed by credible reports of the involvement of the Government of Syria in demonstrations, which have caused casualties. These actions are a clear tactics of the Syrian Government, attempting to incite violence along the lines of disengagement and to divert public attention to their indiscriminate killings and violations of the human rights of the Syrian people.", "These events have clearly exposed the hypocrisy of the regime. It uses the Palestinian cause to encourage violence and deploring its long-term ceasefire with Israel, while continuing to brutalize the Syrian people and rejecting their call for reform and democratic change. The Syrian people have shown courage to call for a transition to democracy. The Syrian Government must stop shooting demonstrators and allow peaceful protests. The Government of Syria must release political prisoners and stop illegal arrests and torture. The Syrian Government must allow human rights monitors to enter and begin serious dialogues to facilitate democratic transition.", "In the area of action, we are concerned about further restrictions on the operation of UNDOF in the area of separation. Both parties must respect the provisions of the 1974 disengagement force status agreement, including the prevention of violations of the area of separation.", "Finally, the United States commends UNDOF for its dedication and thanks Major General Ecarma for her leadership.", "Mr. Al-Assa (Lebanon) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, we would like to highlight the importance of the United Nations operation of UNDOF and commend them for their sacrifice. Today, Lebanon joined the consensus of States and adopted resolution 1994 (2011). We would like to adopt a technical resolution, as well as a presidential statement reaffirming the need for a comprehensive and peaceful solution to the conflict in the Middle East. We hope that this will be done again in the future.", "We condemn Israel's attempts to change the demographic structure and to make a clear difference in the situation in the occupied Syrian Golan, in particular through expansion and expansion of settlements, in flagrant violation of international law, General Assembly resolution 497 (1981) and the Fourth Geneva Convention. We call on Israel to implement Security Council resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973) and to withdraw from the occupied Golan Heights to the 1967 line. We stress the importance of achieving a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.", "Mr. BriAn (France) (spoke in French): Today the Security Council reiterates its support for the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF). However, today's resolution 1994 (2011) differs significantly from previous resolutions, which is a response to the very disturbing events in the Golan Heights. Since the 1974 Agreement on disengagement, the ceasefire line between Israel and Syria has been the most stable border line in the region; however, serious accidents continue on 15 May and 5 June threaten the ceasefire that has been maintained since 1973 and endanger stability and security in the region.", "The Council thus reminds the parties today of their obligation to fully respect the 1974 Agreement and the Council resolutions. These obligations include the prevention of violations of the ceasefire line and the area of separation. Violations of 15 May and 5 June indicate that the Syrian authorities do not comply with these obligations. The Council also reminds both parties of the importance of exercising the utmost restraint. France deeply regrets the casualties caused by these incidents.", "It is unacceptable that UNDOF operations are subject to subsidiaries and that the forces are attacked by them. I would like to point out that the freedom of movement of peacekeeping forces is an essential requirement for the deployment of peacekeeping operations and that the State agrees to accept the corresponding obligations accepted by the deployment of peacekeeping operations in its territory. Therefore, the parties must fully guarantee the fulfilment of their mandates by ensuring the safety and freedom of movement of UNDOF.", "That is the message that today's resolution conveys the Council's deep concern about the potential destabilizing effects of events in the Golan region. The origin of the incident is clear: the report of the Secretary-General (S 35), which shows that Palestinian demonstrators in the area of separation benefit from the views of the Syrian authorities, even if the Syrian authorities do not actually help them. The Syrian authorities have an obligation to ensure compliance with the ceasefire by preventing violations of the disengagement line and the area of separation. These defaults occurred on the nosss of the Syrian security forces, resulting in reports that they were effectively controlling the demonstrations.", "Without attempting to deny the legitimacy of the Palestinians' desire to establish an independent, sovereign State and live side by side with Israel in peace, France has consistently supported the resumption of negotiations in accordance with these spirits.", "The Council cannot accept that the Syrian regime has used the aspirations of the Palestinian people, thereby threatening regional stability. The events of 15 May and 5 June have shown sadly that the Syrian regime has attempted to divert international attention to the aspirations of its people who have been hit by its bloody repression.", "Let me indicate that any attempt to undermine regional stability will not divert our attention to the brutal and systematic repression of peaceful demonstrators in Syria. On the contrary, those threats to international peace and security will only be determined by the Council's determination on the situation in Syria. The stability of Syria is essential for the Middle East, and the Council is too aware of the fragility of the region. Stability can be achieved only if the violence against the demonstrators is halted and the reforms that are in line with the legitimate desire of the Syrian people to have their own destiny.", "Last week, the Secretary-General requested the members of the Security Council to remove their differences and send this clear signal to the Syrian authorities. The resolution just adopted by the Council confirms that, when international peace and security are at risk, it remains in a position to respond. We must draw on lessons learned and respond to the Secretary-General's call for the adoption of a resolution to send the Syrian authorities the only signal that peace and security is the primary responsibility of the Council.", "Mr. Pankin (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): The Russian Federation is the first sponsor of the draft resolution on the extension of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) in the occupied Syrian Golan for a period of six months. We support the important stabilizing role of the force. We believe that the presence of the Force in the region is necessary before the end of tension in the region.", "The Russian Federation voted in favour of the draft resolution and would like to follow a long-term and effective approach, namely, the unanimous support expressed by Council members in the presidential statement of the Secretary-General for the instability of the situation in the region and the continued instability until a comprehensive solution covering all aspects of the Middle East is found. Despite the Council's failure to reach agreement on this matter and its doubts in that regard, we believe that this important idea of achieving a solution to the Middle East is reflected in the resolution adopted today.", "We call upon both parties to continue to cooperate actively with United Nations staff operating within the framework of UNDOF, in compliance with the ceasefire agreement; to assist United Nations forces in their mission; and to ensure their safety and freedom of movement. We believe that the ability and resources of UNDOF are sufficient to carry out its mandate.", "Finally, I would like to emphasize that the resolution just adopted (Russian Federation is a co-sponsor) is technical and has no bearing on the dynamics of the political situation in Syria or Israel. Syria is not included in the agenda of the Security Council because it does not threaten international peace and security.", "Mr. Wang (China) (spoke in Chinese): The Chinese side is deeply concerned about the situation in the Middle East and appreciates the important role played by UN-FNL in maintaining stability in the region and in supporting the successful extension of UN-NL.", "The Syrian question is internal affairs in the country and should be resolved by the Syrian parties themselves through dialogue and consultation. The Syrian issue is two entirely different from that of the UN-Ended Force. The above-mentioned issue should not be linked to the politicization and complexity of the issue of the extension of the Unit.", "The current situation in the Middle East is complex. The international community should do more to promote peace and stability in the region and should actively contribute to the achievement of a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East, based on relevant Council resolutions.", "Mr. Jafar (Syrian Arab Republic) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic wishes to express its appreciation for the efforts of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) and members of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF). I wish them to remember this statement.", "UNDOF staff in the occupied Golan occupied part of our territory, which has been occupied by Israel since 1967. The presence of UNDOF in Golan is due to the Israeli occupation of Golan. I hope that my colleagues will keep this fact in mind. To that end, we would like to commend the efforts of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and UNDOF personnel in the occupied Golan to adhere to the disengagement agreement and to maintain peace and security in the area of force operations, which, of course, is aimed at implementing its mandate.", "UNDOF has been and will continue to be the most secure peacekeeping operation of all such United Nations peacekeeping operations around the world. Since its establishment in 1974, Syria has supported the work of UNDOF to facilitate it and to respect its mandate.", "In addition, Syria has maintained close contact with UNDOF and United Nations Truce Supervision Organization officials and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations for about 40 years, with the Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights.", "Since Israel began its occupation of the Golan Heights in 1967, the Secretary-General's periodic report has been appreciating the positive attitude of Syria in its active cooperation with UNDOF and its staff, ensuring their security and respecting their mandates. On behalf of the Syrian Arab Republic, I reiterate that we will do everything necessary to ensure the safety and security of UNDOF in order to ensure the successful implementation of its mandate.", "Syria regrets that the long-standing just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East, as mentioned by some colleagues, has not been achieved. Israel has not yet implemented resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 497 (1981) and various international initiatives in this regard, including the Arab Peace Initiative and other well-known proposals to withdraw from the occupied Golan Heights. It is also not in compliance with international law. This naturally resulted in the long-term presence of the force in parts of our territory.", "In that regard, we would like to ask the Security Council to play its due role in ending Israel's occupation of our territory, thereby upholding the Council's mandate to it through its resolutions and in fulfilling its mandate to maintain international peace and security.", "Since the recent events and developments in Syria, in particular since the beginning of the use of violence by certain extremists and the possession of weapons against the defence of law and order and against innocent Syrian citizens, including peaceful demonstrators, we and many observers around the world have made it clear that some aspects, including attempts to engage the Council in domestic developments that are not relevant to the Council's role, responsibilities or authorization.", "We do not need to suffice some of the Council members that we have seen to have tried to engage the Council in those attempts that are not relevant to them, but we must recognize that some of these attempts to include references to the Syrian internal affairs in the technical draft resolutions extending the mandate of UNDOF, and we thank some colleagues for revealing such attempts to us. This is a technical issue, which has been dealt with by the Council in a technical manner over the years of Israeli occupation of our Golan. This practice of using purely internal events in Syria is solely aimed at exerting political pressure on Syria, and another indication that some Member States will not hesitate to use the Security Council as a tool for imposing their own policies. Syria expresses its deep appreciation to the members of the Council who have not been involved in these shames and suspicious activities.", "We would like to point out that the reforms announced by President Bashar Al-Assad will be carried out on the ground through the National Dialogue Congress, which is based on the President's conviction that reforms will be needed to meet the needs and aspirations of the Syrian people, and that the consultations of the Conference will begin in recent days. We should bear in mind that some of these reforms have been implemented effectively on the ground and have received the support and appreciation of the international community, and we have reported to the Secretary-General and the members of the Security Council on the situation.", "Since the establishment of UNDOF in 1974, we have constantly brought to the attention of the Security Council and the Secretary-General the Israeli occupying Power — This is Israel's legitimate title — and its activities. They have built settlements in the Golan and are now 44. They continue to build the way around the Syrian cities in the Golan and continue to draw on the lake water that thousands of Syrian farmers are living on the ground of Mas'adah. They continue to oppress the denial of Israeli identity cards and the high-level population of the occupied Syrian Golan, and to carry out arrests.", "In 1981, the Council unanimously adopted its well-known resolution 497 (1981), which condemned and rejected the decision of Israel, the occupying Power, to annex the occupied Golan Heights.", "It appears that a number of speakers who have spoken today are not healed. Over the past three decades, they have not even referred to these issues in their statements concerning United Nations resolutions and the extension of the mandate of UNDOF. The suffering of our people in the occupied Golan Heights should be mentioned earlier. On the contrary, these speakers fully focus their attention on the internal affairs of a founding Member State of the Organization.", "According to a report published yesterday in Washington, D.C., the recent war launched by the United States military had resulted in $4 trillion. These wars have brought a disaster in Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of the world. We are also listening to the fact that NATO has not complied with the strict mandate of resolution 1973 (2011), which we all see. These facts are relevant to the Security Council's mandate, not the internal incidents that would have occurred in any Member State of the Organization.", "My country received 2 million Iraqi refugees who fled Iraq for military incursions led by the United States and the United States. However, we do not place our brothers in camps and ask them to live in tents. We have admitted them before they await the return of Iraq to their homes. Since we have started to receive this 2 million Iraqi refugees, there has been no country in the international community to provide humanitarian assistance to help us assume this burden as a result of the invasion and occupation of Iraq by the United Kingdom and the United States. As a result of Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories, we have hosted 500,000 Palestinian refugees, and a further 500,000 Syrians from the Golan.", "Today's statement concerns about the internal events in Syria do not provide us with any form of humanitarian support to help us face these dangerous challenges, but they are not our own cause. In addition, there is no room for millions of refugees fleeing to my country.", "It is very important that the stability of Syria is important for the Middle East, as our colleagues have pointed out. It is therefore extremely dangerous to the regional and international security and stability that such interference is particularly true when they are based on principles and political reasons. It is also the responsibility of these States for the disaster caused by the 1916 Agreement of the Selix-Pko, the 1917 Belof Declaration and the regional subordination. These important considerations should be borne in mind when those who are less documented should seek a clear understanding of what is happening in the world.", "The representative of Germany said that, as a matter of concern for the Syrian pluralistic society, it had been in the same way as Germany's action, which had provided Israel with six submarines capable of equipping nuclear warheads in recent years. I will not mention more details, since I will have to talk to other speakers, they have also provided Israel with nuclear technology to help it build nuclear reactors and will favour Israel's refusal to accede to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and to place its nuclear facilities under international supervision.", "I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for your statement. I hope that the Council will focus on practical issues within its terms of reference rather than violations of the sovereignty and internal affairs of a United Nations Member State.", "The President (spoke in French): I now call on the representative of Israel.", "Mr. Prosor (Israel): Israel deeply appreciates the work of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF). The international community must continue to support its mandate, which remains an important component of our regional stability.", "As we witness the unprecedented turmoil in the Middle East, the parties fully respect the need for a line of disengagement between Israel and Syria. However, after decades of relative calm, we have witnessed several blatant attempts by the Syrian side to break the line and exacerbate tension in our region.", "On 15 May, in the village of Mayr Sharm el-Sheikh, a large group of organized protesters struck the Alfa fence in Syria, which crossed the line of disengagement with Israel and took violence against the Israel Defense Forces. On 5 June, we saw another provocation on that line. hundreds of people tried to cross the line of disengagement with Israel in the Mayorms and in the Quneitra region. They seek to cross the fence on the ground, to throw fire bottles and other large objects to the Israel Defense Forces and to use other means of violence to achieve their purpose.", "Although the Syrian regime is clearly responsible for this, it does not prevent the demonstrators from reaching the line of disengagement or from attempting it. On the contrary, these Syrian authorities cannot be informed of the blatant attempts by Syria to divert international attention to its violence against its people. In all of these protests, the Syrian regime's footprint has been found, and in my view, you do not need to be the forensic expert of the New York Police.", "The events that took place following the protests of the Yamuk Palestinian refugee camp in Syria on 5 June were a prominent example of Syria's involvement in the demonstrations. I think that Al-Assad is the only eye to what I know is to be actively involved in shielding the people of his country and what is actually the whole region.", "The Syrian-Israel disengagement line was quiet for decades. It cannot be allowed to destabilize that calm simply because the Syrian regime does not wish to give the voice of its citizens. On behalf of the State of Israel, I would like to thank the President and all those who are working hard in UNDOF for the years, as I said, for their work as an important component of regional stability.", "The President (spoke in French): The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.", "The meeting rose at 12.20 p.m." ]

"Ayzouki先生(阿拉伯叙利亚共和国)(以阿拉伯语发言)：我国代表团加入了关于联合国脱离接触部队经费筹措问题的第65/302号决议的协商一致意见，并对有关联合国驻黎巴嫩临时部队经费筹措问题的第65/303号决议投了赞成票。我国代表团愿重申，这两个特派团的经费筹措责任应由以色列承担，因为它是占领国和应对侵略负责的一方，首先正是这种侵略才导致建立这两个特派团的。我们的立场基于我们对1964年6月27日第1874(S-IV)号决议的基本原则的一贯支持。", "Ronaghan先生(美利坚合众国)(以英语发言)：美国坚决支持正在执行重要任务的联合国驻黎巴嫩临时部队。但是，利用大会的筹资决议来寻求在程序上指责某一个会员国是不正确的。正因为如此，我们对过去几年来有关该项目的大会决议投了反对票，因为这些决议要求以色列支付1996年卡纳事件所产生的费用。这些决议都不是协商一致决议。", "自联合国成立后不久，一直沿用的程序是由秘书长提出和执行本组织对一国或多国索赔的解决方案。利用一项筹措经费的决议来规定一项解决方案的做法是不恰当的。这种做法也使第五委员会的工作政治化，在现在和今后都应当予以避免。", "拉福顿先生(加拿大)(以英语发言)：今天，加拿大认为有必要反对题为“联合国驻黎巴嫩临时部队经费的筹措”的第65/303号决议。这绝不应被视作不信任或者不支持联合国联合国驻黎巴嫩临时部队(联黎部队)的工作。加拿大一直并将继续支持联黎部队有价值的工作。", "然而，这项决议载有要求以色列为1996年卡纳事件向联合国提供赔偿的表述。加拿大认为，决议的一些段落不恰当，它们试图把第五委员会的重要工作政治化。此外，尽管加拿大和其它代表团过去几年来对这些段落表示了严重保留意见，但这项决议再次包含了这些段落。因此，加拿大不能支持所提出的赔偿问题处理办法，我们认为这削弱了整项决议，并且转移了人们对决议的主要目标——支持联黎部队开展的有益工作——的注意力。", "Yanouka先生(以色列)(以英语发言)：首先，我要再次向联合国维和部队，包括联合国驻黎巴嫩临时部队(联黎部队)表示以色列的谢意与支持。", "我们感谢部队派遣国、指挥官以及支持联合国不同维持和平行动重要工作的所有人。以色列的政治支持和财政捐助表明我们一贯致力于维和行动的活动、目标以及价值观。我们感到自豪的是，我们与驻扎在本区域的维和部队有着良好关系和长期合作。", "话虽如此，但我不得不表示，以色列对第65/303号决议感到失望，因为这项决议载有带有政治色彩而且实际上无助于支持维和行动的某些措辞。尽管第五委员会是一个专业性委员会，但序言部分第4段和执行部分第4、第5和第15段都试图在联合国内部把反以色列的表述制度化。", "出于这些原因，我国代表团呼吁对这项决议进行表决，并且对其投了反对票。", "哈沙卜先生(黎巴嫩)(以阿拉伯语发言)：首先，我谨感谢投票支持为联合国驻黎巴嫩临时部队(联黎部队)筹措经费的所有友好国家，特别是77国集团加中国、伊斯兰会议组织成员国和阿拉伯国家联盟。", "我们还要感谢联黎部队自1972年以来所发挥的作用。我们十分珍视特派团作出的巨大牺牲，其中包括数百名以身殉职者。我们还要表示对联黎部队与黎巴嫩部队之间良好关系的赞赏，并且感谢所有部队派遣国。", "就第65/303号决议的内容而言，我们认为，为维持和平行动筹措经费是各国的集体责任，但这项原则与各国在违反国际法时负有个体责任以及它们应对其行为所造成后果负责并不冲突。这包括如《联合国宪章》所载和关于联合国维持和平行动经费分摊比额表的第55/235号决议第1段(e)分段所规定的那样，一个国家在对其造成的破坏负有责任时需进行赔偿。", "我谨提醒大会注意第五委员会投票支持、而且大会刚刚通过的这项决议的内容。以色列没有执行要求其在1996年轰炸卡纳之后予以赔偿的18项大会决议。这对国际部队造成了影响。当时大约有100名平民丧生，他们主要是儿童和老人，还有几百人受伤。我们还必须回顾一下，根据1996年5月7日秘书长报告所述和S/1996/337号文件所述，以色列积欠因其轰炸联黎部队营地所造成物质损失逾100万美元赔款。因此，第五委员会有义务审议这个问题。", "最后，以色列必须支付它的欠款，尽管考虑到2003年和2009年联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处学校遭受的轰炸，这笔赔偿是不完整的。", "主席(以法语发言)：大会就此结束现阶段对议程项目156分项目(b)的审议。", "议程项目157", "联合国苏丹特派团经费的筹措", "第五委员会的报告(A/65/656/Add.1)",

I should also hope that we may proceed to adopt without a vote those recommendations that were adopted without a vote in the Fifth Committee.", "In recent days, I have actively consulted all groups and many members on many occasions, in order to find a solution that is satisfactory to all parties while avoiding a vote in keeping with the tradition concerning budgetary matters.

My delegation would like to reiterate that the responsibility for financing these two missions should be borne by Israel, the occupier and party responsible for the aggression that led to their establishment in the first place. Our position is based on our consistent support for the principles underpinning resolution 1874 (S-IV), of 27 June 1963.", "Mr. Ronaghan (United States of America): The United States strongly supports the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, which is implementing an important mandate. However, the use of General Assembly funding resolutions to pursue claims against a Member State procedurally is not correct. That is the reason that we have opposed the General Assembly resolutions on this item in previous years, since they require Israel to pay for the costs stemming from the Qana incident of 1996. Those resolutions were not consensus resolutions.", "Since shortly after the inception of the United Nations, the procedure that has been followed is that the Secretary-General presents and pursues a settlement of the Organization’s claims against a State or States. Using a funding resolution to legislate a settlement is inappropriate. It also politicizes the work of the Fifth Committee and should be avoided both now and in the future.", "Mr. Lafortune (Canada): Today, Canada found it necessary to oppose resolution 65/303, entitled “Financing of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon”. That should in no way be construed as a lack of confidence in or support for the work of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). Canada has supported and continues to support the valuable work of UNIFIL.", "However, the resolution contains language that calls on Israel to provide compensation to the United Nations for the 1996 Qana incident. Canada found certain paragraphs of the resolution to be inappropriate, as they were an attempt to politicize the important work of the Fifth Committee. Moreover, those paragraphs were once against introduced into the resolution despite the serious reservations regarding them expressed by Canada and other delegations in previous years. Therefore, Canada cannot endorse the proposed approach to dealing with the issue of compensation and believes that it weakens the resolution overall and draws attention from its principal purpose, which is to support the very useful work that UNIFIL has undertaken.", "Mr. Yanouka (Israel): First, I wish to express once again Israel’s thanks and support for United Nations peacekeeping forces, including the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).", "We express our gratitude to the troop-contributing countries, to the commanders and all those who support the important work of the diverse peacekeeping operations of the United Nations.

We are proud to have good relations and long-standing cooperation with peacekeeping forces in our region.", "Notwithstanding what I have just said, I am compelled to express Israel’s disappointment with resolution 65/303, which contains specific language that is politicized and genuinely unhelpful as regards support for peacekeeping operations. Despite the professional nature of the Fifth Committee, preambular paragraph 4 and operative paragraphs 4, 5 and 15 are an attempt to institutionalize an anti-Israel narrative within the United Nations.", "For those reasons, my delegation called for a vote on the resolution and voted against it.", "Mr. Khachab (Lebanon) (spoke in Arabic): First of all, I would like to thank all the friendly States that voted in favour of financing for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), especially the Group of 77 and China, the members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the League of Arab States.", "We would also like to thank UNIFIL for the role it has played since 1972. We attach great value to the enormous sacrifices made by the mission, including the hundreds who have died. We also wish to express our appreciation for the excellent relations between UNIFIL and Lebanese forces, as well as to thank all troop-contributing countries.", "With respect to the substance of resolution 65/303, we believe that the principle of collective responsibility for the financing of peacekeeping operations does not contradict the individual responsibility of States when they violate international law or their responsibility for the consequences of such acts. That includes reparations when a State is responsible for the damage it has caused, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and in sub‑paragraph (e) of paragraph 1 of resolution 55/235, on the scale of assessments for the apportionment of the expenses of United Nations peacekeeping forces.", "I would like to remind the Assembly of the contents of the resolution that the Fifth Committee voted in favour of and which was just adopted by the General Assembly. Israel has not implemented the 18 General Assembly resolutions that require it to pay reparations following the shelling of Qana in 1996. This affected international forces. Approximately 100 civilians were killed, mainly children and elderly persons, and there were hundreds of injured. We must also recall that Israel owes over $1 million in reparations for material damage due to the bombing of the UNIFIL compound, as described in the report of the Secretary-General dated 7 May 1996 and contained in document S/1996/337. The Fifth Committee therefore has a duty to consider this issue.", "Finally, Israel must pay what it owes, even if that is incomplete in the light of the bombings of the schools of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East schools in 2003 and 2009.", "The President (spoke in French): The General Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of sub-item (b) of agenda item 156.", "Agenda item 157", "Financing of the United Nations Mission in the Sudan", "Report of the Fifth Committee (A/65/656/Add.1)", "The President (spoke in French): The Assembly has before it a draft resolution recommended by the Fifth Committee in paragraph 6 of its report.

My delegation wishes to reiterate that the responsibility for the financing of these two missions rests with Israel, as it is the occupying Power and the party responsible for responding to the aggression, first of all, which has led to the establishment of these two missions. Our position is based on our consistent support for the basic principles of resolution 1874 (S-IV) of 27 June 1964.", "Mr. Ronaghan (United States of America): The United States strongly supports the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, which is implementing important tasks. However, the use of the General Assembly's fund-raising resolutions to seek procedural accusations of a Member State is not correct. That is why we voted against the resolutions of the General Assembly on the item in the past few years, which require Israel to pay the costs arising from the Qana incident of 1996. These resolutions are not consensual resolutions.", "Shortly after the establishment of the United Nations, the process that has been followed is the Secretary-General's proposal for and implementation of the Organization's solution to a country or multinational claim. It was inappropriate to use a resolution on financing to set a solution. This approach also politicizes the work of the Fifth Committee and should be avoided now and in the future.", "Mr. Lafton (Canada): Today, Canada believes it necessary to oppose resolution 65/303, entitled “Financing of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon”. This should never be seen as mistrust or without supporting the work of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). Canada has and will continue to support the valuable work of UNIFIL.", "However, the resolution contained a statement calling on Israel to provide reparations to the United Nations for the incident of Qana in 1996. Canada believes that some paragraphs of the resolution are inappropriate and they try to politicize the important work of the Fifth Committee. Moreover, although Canada and other delegations have expressed serious reservations about these paragraphs over the past few years, the resolution once again contains those paragraphs. Therefore, Canada cannot support the proposed compensation approach, which we believe weakens the entire resolution and diverts attention from the main objectives of the resolution — supporting the useful work of UNIFIL.", "Mr. Yanouka (Israel): At the outset, I would like to reiterate my gratitude and support to the United Nations peacekeeping forces, including the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).", "We thank the troop-contributing countries, the commanders and all those who support the important work of different United Nations peacekeeping operations. Israel's political support and financial contributions demonstrate our consistent commitment to the activities, objectives and values of peacekeeping operations. We are proud that we have good relations and long-term cooperation with peacekeeping forces in the region.", "In spite of that, I have to say that Israel is disappointed with resolution 65/303, which contains political features and does not actually contribute to certain terms that support peacekeeping operations. Despite the fact that the Fifth Committee is a professional commission, the fourth preambular paragraph and operative paragraphs 4, 5 and 15 have tried to institutionalize anti-Israeli representation within the United Nations.", "For these reasons, my delegation calls for a vote on the resolution and voted against it.", "Mr. Al-Haram (Lebanon) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to thank all friendly countries that voted in favour of financing the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), in particular the Group of 77 and China, the member States of the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the League of Arab States.", "We would also like to thank UNIFIL for its role since 1972. We cherish the enormous sacrifices made by the Mission, including hundreds of those killed. We would also like to express our appreciation for the good relationship between UNIFIL and the Lebanese forces and to thank all troop-contributing countries.", "With regard to the content of resolution 65/303, we believe that financing for peacekeeping operations is a collective responsibility of States, but this principle is not conflict with the individual responsibility of States in breach of international law and the consequences of their actions. This includes compensation for the damage caused by a State, as set out in the Charter of the United Nations and in paragraph 1 (e) of resolution 55/235, on the scale of assessments for United Nations peacekeeping operations.", "I should like to remind the General Assembly of the contents of the resolution that the Fifth Committee voted in favour of and which the Assembly has just adopted. Israel has not implemented 18 General Assembly resolutions requiring compensation after the bombing of Qana in 1996. This has affected international forces. At that time, about 100 civilians were killed, mainly children and the elderly, and hundreds were injured. We must also recall that, in accordance with the report of the Secretary-General of 7 May 1996 and document S/1996/337, Israel has accumulated over $1 million for material losses caused by its bombing of the UNIFIL camp. The Fifth Committee is therefore obliged to consider this issue.", "Finally, Israel must pay its arrears, despite the bombings of United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East schools in 2003 and 2009.", "The President (spoke in French): The General Assembly has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of sub-item (b) of agenda item 156.", "Agenda item 157", "Financing of the United Nations Mission in the Sudan", "Report of the Fifth Committee (A/63/356/Add.1)", "The President (spoke in French): The Assembly has before it a draft resolution recommended by the Fifth Committee in paragraph 6 of its report.

Not only civilian actors but also national defence forces played a significant role in the aftermath of these earthquakes. Being familiar with the matter and having first-hand experience, Turkey believes that the effective use and coordination of military and civil defence assets can play a real role in responding to natural disasters.", "We are confident that the international conference to be held in Doha will bring together Member States, key United Nations officials and other relevant actors active in this field to discuss comprehensively the use of military and civil defence assets to respond to natural disasters. We will continue to engage with our partners on this important subject and will bring the outcome of the International Conference to New York later this year.", "The President (spoke in French): I now give the floor to the representative of Qatar to introduce draft resolution A/65/L.82.", "Miss Al-Thani (Qatar) (spoke in Arabic): On behalf of the co-sponsors of the draft resolution entitled “Improving the effectiveness and coordination of military and civil defence assets in responding to natural disasters”, I am pleased to introduce to the General Assembly draft resolution A/65/L.82, submitted under sub-item (a) of agenda item 69, entitled “Strengthening of the coordination of humanitarian and disaster relief assistance of the United Nations”.", "Natural disasters have become more frequent in the past decade. This has resulted in the loss of millions of lives and the displacement of millions. This trend is likely to intensify over the next decade, with all the negative impacts on natural disaster response systems.", "Over the past year, military assets have been strengthened in order to strengthen international humanitarian efforts in response to natural disasters around the world. It has been proven that, in many cases, the use of military and civil defence assets can effectively fill the gap between military resources and the resources required to respond to natural disasters. Guidelines have been established to identify best practices in the use of those assets and measures have been taken to improve the effectiveness of those resources.", "But today we must scale up our efforts to improve the effectiveness of military and civil defence assets. That is why we must find better ways to respond to natural disasters and to discuss how to allocate military and civil defence assets more effectively in disaster response.", "This issue has received considerable attention. In June 2010, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabr Al-Thani, Prime Minister of the State of Qatar, introduced the “HOPEFOR initiative” to discuss the use of military assets in relief operations and to enhance its effectiveness while ensuring respect for humanitarian principles in this regard. In recent months, the State of Qatar has led a number of extensive consultations to implement the HOPEFOR initiative. All stakeholders participated in efforts to ensure the effective use of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). In that regard, I would like once again to thank OCHA and express our deep appreciation for its technical assistance within the framework of the HOPEFOR initiative.", "Mr. President, last February the Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Qatar wrote to you (A/65/772) setting out guidelines for the HOPEFOR initiative to improve military and civil defence assets within the framework of international humanitarian assistance. Efforts were also launched to improve natural disaster response and response. In that regard, I would like to note the appeals made by the Dominican Republic and Turkey.", "Qatar is making every effort to consolidate these efforts within the framework of the HOPEFOR initiative to improve the effectiveness of military and civil defence assets in responding to natural disasters.", "An agreement has recently been reached to hold an international conference in Doha in 2011, at which States and relevant governmental and non-governmental stakeholders will discuss other options contained in the HOPEFOR initiative and related documents, including ways to implement them in the context of emergency response, in close cooperation with Member States, regional organizations, international organizations and coordinating actors.", "The HOPEFOR Initiative emphasizes the importance of impartiality and neutrality in humanitarian assistance and the civilian dimension of humanitarian assistance in natural disasters when military assets are used to support humanitarian assistance. We also note the importance of using those resources, with the consent of the States concerned, in accordance with international law, international humanitarian law and all other relevant humanitarian principles.", "The initiative emphasizes the guidelines for the use of civil defence and military assets in the framework of natural disaster response operations and states that the coordination of civilian and military humanitarian assistance should be improved and that the necessary civil defence and military assets should be used in an appropriate, effective and coordinated manner in natural disaster response operations, in accordance with the principles set out in paragraph 2 of the draft resolution and, where necessary, in accordance with the Oslo Guidelines.", "Interested States have repeatedly come together to discuss the content of this initiative. The various views, initiatives and suggestions put forward in those consultations have been taken into account in the discussions leading to the formulation of draft resolution A/65/L.82.", "In conclusion, my delegation would like to thank all the other delegations that participated effectively in the consultations that led to this draft resolution.

We are convinced that, with the adoption of the draft resolution, the use of military and civil defence assets in the context of natural disasters will be discussed in a broader and more inclusive manner, taking into account all relevant stakeholders, with a view to improving the coordination and effectiveness of those assets and always bearing in mind that the ultimate goal is to save as many lives as possible and to preserve the critical structures of the affected countries.", "Owing to its geographical location, the Dominican Republic has suffered from natural disasters of all kinds and is now further affected by the negative effects of climate change. It is important for us, together with other countries in similar situations, to look at the most viable ways to respond quickly and effectively to natural disasters and to decide how to support the work of United Nations humanitarian agencies through these efforts.", "It is for this reason that, on 23 September 2010, the President of the Dominican Republic, Leonel Fernández Reyna, stressed in the Hall of the United Nations the need to strengthen the capacity of countries to prepare for and respond to natural disasters through alliances of countries at risk, so that they can share lessons learned for the future (see A/65/PV.12). The various elements of the HOPEFOR initiative are designed to meet the needs of countries like ours to reflect further on ways to enhance the effectiveness and coordination of humanitarian efforts in natural disasters.", "We are convinced that, with a commitment to the principles of humanitarian assistance that we have agreed upon and a spirit of cooperation between civilian and military parties concerned, the HOPEFOR initiative can be a focus of discussions on international humanitarian relief efforts and a tool for us, the States Members of the United Nations, to take important steps to respond to natural disasters, which are becoming increasingly frequent and destructive.", "I would like to thank my colleagues from the State of Qatar and Turkey for their great cooperation and commitment to this work.

He stressed that building legitimate institutions was a key element in institution-building.

Members stressed the importance of national ownership and of building and making greater use of existing national capacities. They stressed that the Council should continue to identify clear and achievable mandates for United Nations missions, mobilize appropriate capacity and facilitate interaction with relevant stakeholders. In addition, the need to identify mechanisms to facilitate prioritization of peacebuilding tasks was emphasized. A better coordinated and integrated approach within the United Nations system is seen as an essential element for the success of peacebuilding and institution-building. Another element repeatedly mentioned in the debate was the need to better integrate effective planning of peacekeeping missions with United Nations programmes and funds. Speaking of the role and engagement of the Peacebuilding Commission, many countries recognized that the Security Council should make greater use of the advisory role of the Commission.", "The Security Council adopted a presidential statement (S/PRST/2011/2) in which it stressed the importance of institution-building as a key component of peacebuilding and the need for a more effective and coherent response from States and the international community to that end; it also stressed the need for the United Nations and the international community to play a significant role in helping to build national institutions by more effectively and coherently assessing needs and planning for effective institution-building, while stressing that the primary responsibility for successful peacebuilding rests with the Government and relevant national actors.

Introduction", "1. This document sets out the rationale and the process followed in revising the UNDP financial regulations and rules. Revisions to the financial regulations and rules are necessary at this point in time in order to make them compliant with upcoming adoption by UNDP of IPSAS and the introduction of the new cost classifications as required for the integrated budget.", "2. The Administrator seeks the approval of the Executive Board of the proposed revisions to the financial regulations, and further requests the Executive Board to take note of the amended financial rules circulated herein.", "3. UNDP has submitted this document and its annexes to the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions (ACABQ) for review. At the time of submission of this document the ACABQ had not yet produced its report. Once the report is finalized, if changes are required, UNDP will communicate these changes to the Executive Board through a corrigendum. In addition the United Nations Board of Auditors, the UNDP Audit Advisory Committee, the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs and the UNDP Office of Audit and Investigations have also reviewed the revised financial regulations and rules, and, where applicable, their comments have been incorporated.", "II. Purpose of the revision", "4. The financial regulations and rules govern the broad financial management of UNDP and the funds administered by UNDP, including the budgeting and accounting of resources. In order to reflect the adoption of IPSAS, in accordance with General Assembly resolution 60/283 of July 2006 and the Executive Board decision 2007/10, and the revised cost classifications of the Joint report of UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF on the road map to an integrated budget: cost classification and results-based budgeting, approved by the Executive Board in its decision DP/2010/32, changes are now proposed to reflect the new accounting standards and terminology.", "5. The changes proposed maintain the existing character and nature of the financial regulations and rules that govern financial management. They are used not only by those who are engaged in the area of financial management, but also by those engaged in areas of programmatic management of UNDP, who for the large part are not accounting professionals. The revised financial regulations and rules shall be operationalized by UNDP policies and procedures.", "IPSAS", "6. The UNDP accounting policy is based on the United Nations System Accounting Standards (UNSAS), which is based on a modified accrual method of accounting. Beginning 1 January 2012, UNDP will implement IPSAS, which is based on a full accrual method. IPSAS will result in a change in accounting policy and in the way transactions are recorded. UNDP will apply all IPSAS standards applicable to UNDP and the impact of these standards have been incorporated in the proposed financial regulations and rules.", "7. The following highlights some of the most significant changes:", "Under UNSAS the following principles and terminology are used:", "unpaid, namely, the sum of disbursements and unliquidated obligations.", "Under IPSAS the following principles and terminology will be used:", "use in the activities of UNDP or for administrative purposes and expected to be used during more than one financial period.", "New cost classifications", "8. The new cost classification has resulted in new definitions and terminology to be reflected in the financial regulations and rules.", "Other changes", "9. Other changes were made to reflect current organizational structures, working methods and to enhance consistency and clarity of terminology. The UNCDF annex to UNDP financial regulations and rules has been updated to reflect IPSAS and the new cost classification changes. It has also been updated to align it with current UNDP financial regulations and rules. Numbering changes have also been made to reflect the amendments.", "III. Steps followed for the revision", "10. A joint process was undertaken by the United Nations Secretariat, UNDP, UNFPA and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to achieve a level of harmonization on principle changes as a result of IPSAS and the new cost classifications. Although IPSAS affects all four organizations, the new cost classifications affect only UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF.", "IV. Overview of proposed revisions", "11. The proposed amendments to the financial regulations and rules are presented in annex 1, annex 2 and annex 3 of this document. Annex 1 provides a reasoning for and categorization of all changes proposed. In this annex, the reason for each change is in a separate category. The corresponding financial regulations and rules that are to be amended are then listed in that category. Annex 2 includes a table which contains the original financial regulations and rules with the amendment being reflected in track changes so that the manner in which the regulation or rule has been amended is readily identifiable.

At the time of submission of the present document, ACABQ had not yet issued its report. Once the report is finalized, UNDP will inform the Executive Board, through a corrigendum, of any changes that may be required. In addition, the United Nations Board of Auditors, the UNDP Audit Advisory Committee, the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs and the UNDP Office of Audit and Investigations have reviewed the revised financial regulations and rules and their comments have been incorporated as appropriate.", "II. Purpose of the revision", "4. The financial regulations and rules control the overall financial management of UNDP and the funds administered by UNDP, including budget preparation and resource accounting. In order to reflect the adoption of IPSAS, in accordance with General Assembly resolution 60/283 of July 2006 and Executive Board decision 2007/10 and the revised cost classification in the joint report of UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF on the road map to an integrated budget, cost classification and results-based budgeting, approved by the Executive Board in its decision DP/2010/32, the proposed changes are hereby proposed to reflect the new accounting standards and terminology.", "5. The proposed changes retain the current characteristics and nature of the financial regulations and rules that should govern financial management.

The costs also include all costs related to employee benefits.", "• Property, plant and equipment — tangible assets held for the purposes of UNDP activities or administration and expected to be used in more than one financial period.", "New cost classification", "8. The new cost classification has introduced new definitions and terminology that need to be reflected in the Financial Regulations and Rules.", "Other changes", "9. Other changes have been made to reflect the current organizational structure and working methods and to improve consistency and clarity of terminology. The UNCDF annex to the UNDP Financial Regulations and Rules has also been updated to reflect IPSAS and new cost classification changes.

Steps to be followed in the revision process", "10. The United Nations Secretariat, UNDP, UNFPA and the United Nations Children ' s Fund (UNICEF) have worked together to achieve a degree of harmonization of key changes resulting from IPSAS and the new cost classification.

[ "秘书长关于安全理事会第1701(2006)号决议执行情况的第十六次报告", "一. 导言", "1. 本报告综合评估了自2011年2月28日发表秘书长上次报告(S/2011/91)以来安全理事会第1701(2006)号决议的执行情况。", "2. 本报告所述期间发生的若干事件严重考验了第1701(2006)号决议确定的安全安排。在本报告所述期间大部分时间里，黎巴嫩都处于无政府状态，而阿拉伯世界的政治骚乱使已经动荡的局势更加飘摇。", "3. 5月15日，在“蓝线”区域发生了自决议通过以来死伤人数最多的一起事件。当时，以色列国防军首先鸣枪警告，之后向已到达南黎巴嫩Maroun el Ras 区域以色列技术围栏的巴勒斯坦示威者使用实弹开火，造成7名平民死亡，111人受伤。5月27日，联合国驻黎巴嫩临时部队(联黎部队)三年来第一次遭到恐怖主义分子的直接袭击，联黎部队的一辆车触到了放置在Saida镇以北、一条南北走向主要高速公路上的一枚炸弹，造成6名维持和平人员受伤，其中两人重伤，另有两名黎巴嫩平民受伤。", "4. 尽管面临不利环境，但双方还是尽力履行了对第1701(2006)号决议做出的承诺，确保停止敌对行动继续得到维持。但双方未能在履行第1701(2006)号决议规定的其他关键义务方面取得重大进展，本报告将对此进行详述。双方应尽全力履行决议规定的各项义务，响应决议的呼吁，从目前的停止敌对行动推进到实现永久停火。", "5. 萨阿德·哈里里领导的民族团结政府于1月12日垮台，因此在本报告所述期间的大部分时间里黎巴嫩实际处于无政府状态。黎巴嫩长期缺乏一个运作正常的政府，机构瘫痪，3.8阵营和3.14阵营之间的分歧加大以及国家安全局势恶化。无政府状态也使得无法推进黎巴嫩履行第1701(2006)号决议规定义务方面进一步取得进展的关键进程。候任总理纳吉布·米卡蒂从1月25日开始试图组建新政府，终于在6月13日取得成功，他宣布新政府由主要属于3.8联盟的30个内阁部长组成。", "6. 该区域的事态发展也影响了黎巴嫩国内局势以及第1701(2006)号决议的执行情况，尤其是阿拉伯叙利亚共和国3月中以来的动乱从不同方面影响了黎巴嫩，最主要的影响是，5月中旬，叙利亚边界附近乡镇约4 000人为逃离暴力跨过北部边界进入了黎巴嫩。", "二. 第1701(2006)号决议的执行情况", "A. 联黎部队行动区内的局势", "7. 双方继续履行对第1701(2006)号决议的承诺，停止敌对行动得到维持。在本报告所述期间大部分时间，尽管存在不时侵犯黎巴嫩领空和若干次地面违反“蓝线”情况，但联黎部队行动区内的局势保持稳定和平静。5月15日，在马伦拉斯 (西区)附近的一起巴勒斯坦示威活动期间发生了造成多人死伤的惨剧。", "8. 联黎部队估计，约8 000至10 000名示威者参加了此次活动，示威者主要由巴勒斯坦难民组成。组织者包括巴勒斯坦和黎巴嫩组织，其中也包括真主党。虽然大多数示威者都在为此次活动准备的、远离“蓝线”的场地和平地举行纪念活动，但约1 000名抗议者离开了主要集会地，穿过一个雷区，逼近了“蓝线”和以色列技术围栏。黎巴嫩武装部队利用警戒线和朝天开枪方式阻止了一小股示威者到达技术围栏的第一波企图，但无法阻止第二波浪潮。示威者在技术围栏处掘出了23枚反坦克地雷，向围栏里投掷了石块和2枚燃烧弹，并企图攀爬围栏，将围栏推倒。以色列国防军在口头警告和向朝天鸣枪后向围栏处的示威者使用实弹开火。增援部队抵达后，黎巴嫩武装部队特种部队预备队使示威者撤离了围栏。黎巴嫩武装部队最初向联黎部队通报，11人死亡。之后将这一数字修订为7人，111人受伤。此外，双方分别向联黎部队通报，黎巴嫩武装部队70名士兵和以色列国防军4名军人被石块击中受轻伤。联黎部队的1名士兵也被投掷的石块击中而受轻伤。", "9. 联黎部队立即对这一事件启动调查，以确定当天发生事件及参与事件各方的部署、态势和采取的行动是否违反了第1701(2006)号决议的规定。联黎部队的初步调查结果表明，示威者向以色列技术围栏和“蓝线”内投掷了石块和燃烧弹，并企图推倒一部分围栏，采取了挑衅性的暴力行为，构成对第1701(2006)号决议的违反。部署在该区域的黎巴嫩武装部队企图阻止示威者接近技术围栏和“蓝线”。但事实证明，部队人数和可用设备不足以应对预计出现的示威人数以及事件的预期风险。黎巴嫩武装部队特种部队接到部署命令后立即使用警棍、催泪瓦斯及朝天猛烈开火使人群后撤。除最初鸣枪示警外，以色列国防军未采用常规控制人群方法或其他方法，而是向示威者使用了致命武器。以色列国防军使用实弹向“蓝线”外的示威者开火导致平民丧生，大量人员受伤，构成违反第1701(2006)号决议的规定，与以色列士兵受到的威胁不相称。", "10. 在5月11日的三方会议上以及与联黎部队的双边接触中，以色列国防军都警告称，不会容忍干预技术围栏，跨越“蓝线”或威胁其部队的行为。示威发生前，联黎部队加强了在该区域的阵地。联黎部队根据黎巴嫩武装部队的评估，以及一项关于避免与示威者密切接触，以防局势恶化的请求，在事发期间，并未在实地部署部队。黎巴嫩武装部队除请求联黎部队进行直升机巡逻，从空中监视局势外，并未请求联黎部队提供援助。虽然当示威者抵达技术围栏时以色列国防军曾呼吁联黎部队在实地进行干预，但黎巴嫩武装部队依然让联黎部队远离示威者，以避免进一步的摩擦。", "11. 为筹备预期6月初举行的纪念1967年战争的多项活动，联黎部队于6月2号召集了三方论坛特别会议，还与黎巴嫩武装部队和以色列国防军分别举行了协调会议。同样也是在6月2日，黎巴嫩武装部队决定禁止示威者进入利塔尼河以南地区，并宣布该地区为军事禁区。黎巴嫩武装部队还采取了严格的安全措施，在沿Kila村和Al-Adeisse村之间的围栏，特别是在法蒂玛门处进行了部署。联黎部队保证说将在实地部署更多部队，特别是在沿“蓝线”的敏感区域。在黎巴嫩武装部队作出决定后，巴勒斯坦各组织取消了沿“蓝线”的多起示威活动。6月5日，沿“蓝线”出现两个小型集会，黎巴嫩武装部队随后很快驱散了集会。", "12. 以色列国防军继续占领盖杰尔村北部地区及“蓝线”北部邻近区域土地，这违反了第1701(2006)号决议的规定。自我上一次报告以来，联黎部队与双方密切接触，在双边层面讨论配合提案执行的安全安排，推动以色列部队从该区域撤军。根据讨论情况及收到的评论意见，维持和平行动部和联黎部队正在最终确定安全安排的最终提案，供双方采纳。", "13. 以色列国防军继续几乎每天侵入黎巴嫩领空，包括喷气式战斗机不时侵入黎巴嫩领空。正如之前的报告所指出的，这些飞越行为违反了第1701(2006)号决议的规定，而且侵犯了黎巴嫩的主权。联黎部队继续抗议所有侵犯领空行为，并呼吁以色列当局立即停止这些行为。黎巴嫩政府也继续抗议侵犯领空，并要求立即予以停止。而以色列政府继续认为飞越是必要的安全措施，还特别举例说据称武器禁运没有得到落实。", "14. 3月22日，以色列国防军在Rumaysh(西区)附近逮捕了2名黎巴嫩牧民，指控他们跨过了“蓝线”。经过与双方接触，以色列国防军次日在拉斯纳古拉过境点将这两人移交给了联黎部队。联黎部队又将这两人移交给了黎巴嫩当局。联黎部队经过调查得出结论认为，虽然其中一个牧民侵犯“蓝线”约10米，但第2个牧民一直待在“蓝线”以北区域，以色列国防军逮捕此人说是侵犯了“蓝线”。以色列国防军在调查期间指出，正如我在上一份报告(S/2011/91)中详述的1月12日事件一样，牧民经常会侵犯该区域的“蓝线”。在事发地区，“蓝线”标识清晰可见。", "15. 对于以色列国防军于1月12日在同一区域逮捕另一名牧民事件，联黎部队结束了对这一事件的调查。调查得出结论认为，已有证据表明该名牧民有可能侵犯了“蓝线”。因这一区域发生的事件数较多，联黎部队加强了这一区域沿“蓝线”的每天的徒步和乘车巡逻，并增加了观察所数目。联黎部队也呼吁黎巴嫩武装部队开展更多活动，使当地牧民在“蓝线”附近放牧时能提高认识。", "16. 还发生了其他在实地侵犯“蓝线”事件，大多数都是主要在沙巴阿农场和Shouba村区域放牧的黎巴嫩牧民或田间劳作的农民的无心之过。3月3日，以色列国防军的1辆挖土机在Metulla附近的技术围栏沿线开展维护工作时越过了“蓝线”，显然也是无心之过。4月14日，以色列国防军的1辆坦克越过了El Adeisse附近的技术围栏，造成黎巴嫩一侧的报警器响起。联黎部队向该区域派遣了巡逻人员，在双方之间进行周旋，之后又加强了在实地的存在。未发生侵犯“蓝线”事件，这是黎巴嫩武装部队承认的一个事实。但以色列国防军的行动导致紧张关系突然加剧，如果没有联黎部队，可能就会导致事件的发生。在所有这些情况中，联黎部队都与以色列国防军和黎巴嫩武装部队指挥官进行接触，促请以最审慎态度对待“蓝线”一带可能会加剧紧张关系的任何挑衅行动。", "17. 联黎部队几次注意到平民向Kila村和El Adeisse(东区)一带的以色列技术围栏投掷石块。3月16日，两次从以色列国防军阵地所在地的以色列一侧技术围栏向Kila村附近的法蒂玛门附近值勤的黎巴嫩武装部队和联黎部队人员投掷石块。以色列国防军向联黎部队通报说正在调查这一事件。联黎部队继续与双方一道控制所有此类侵犯性活动并促请双方尽最大可能厉行克制，并向联黎部队通报任何此类性质的侵犯行为。", "18. 联黎部队注意到10起隔着“蓝线”用武器瞄准事件。4起事件涉及以色列国防军士兵将武器对准了联黎部队人员方向；5起其他事件涉及以色列国防军将武器对准了黎巴嫩平民或黎巴嫩武装部队人员。最严重的一起事件发生在6月1日，以色列国防军士兵将一挺架设的重机枪对准了盖杰尔西边一个黎巴嫩军队检查站的士兵。这一事件突然加剧了“蓝线”两边的紧张局势，直至以色列国防军巡逻人员离开这一地点后才恢复正常。一次，1个黎巴嫩武装部队士兵用武器对准了以色列国防军士兵一侧的以色列一方。联黎部队对所有涉及武器瞄准的事件提出抗议，并在一旦提出要求和可能的情况下，安排其士兵阻挡在黎巴嫩武装部队和以色列国防军士兵之间，旨在防止此类事件升级。还有若干对武器瞄准事件的指控，特别是在El Adeisse和Kila村地区，因此联黎部队在El Adeisse区域增设了观察点。", "19. 尽管双方继续表示致力于明确标出“蓝线”，但在有争议的点上仍未达成共识，使得标识工作继续推迟。因此，在现有各区内测量坐标工作未取得进展，事实证明设立一个新标识区的工作也未取得成功。尽管遇到了这一挫折，但经过联黎部队与双方进行双边会谈，双方最近向联黎部队提交了他们愿意标识的坐标清单。联黎部队正在审查这些清单，一旦明确了共同点，将向双方提出建议并立即开始进行标识。", "20. 联黎部队和黎巴嫩武装部队之间的合作仍是执行第1701(2006)号决议的基石。联黎部队和黎巴嫩武装部队继续作出努力，以扩大协调活动的范围，并进一步加深合作。两支部队维持各自的设施，继续开展日常业务活动，包括巡逻、在检查站和观察站的执勤。在联黎部队方面，除定期进行直升机巡逻和其他业务活动外，联黎部队平均每天进行300次巡逻。黎巴嫩武装部队和联黎部队的联合业务活动也在继续进行，包括每24小时平均进行13次反火箭发射行动和每天6次徒步巡逻，同时在18个共设检查站执勤，其中6个检查站设在利塔尼河上。6月中旬以前，黎巴嫩武装部队将其部署在联黎部队行动区内的军力维持在四个旅的水平上，之后，黎巴嫩武装部队将部署结构从4个旅调整为3个旅加两个营，同时保持部署部队人数不变。在本报告所述期间，联黎部队和黎巴嫩武装部队开展了若干次大型联合能力演习，包括大量人员伤亡后送以及实弹炮兵演习。", "21. 联黎部队总体上在其行动区享有行动自由，每月进行约9 000至10 000次巡逻。有两次，分别在5月30日和6月5日，坐在民用汽车里的乘客将手枪对准了联黎部队，有两次当地平民拦住了巡逻队。3月21日，两辆民用汽车在Hanin(西区)附近从前面和后面拦住了联黎部队巡逻队。这些平民拒绝挪车，巡逻队只好绕行离开现场。黎巴嫩武装部队之后向联黎部队通报，两辆车的司机都未听懂巡逻队的要求。3月31日，一辆民用汽车在Bint Jbeil附近拦住了黎巴嫩观察员小组的一支巡逻队。黎巴嫩武装部队到达现场后，得到的解释是拦住黎巴嫩观察员小组巡逻队是因为后者拍了照片。巡逻队根据黎巴嫩武装部队的要求交出了照相机的记忆卡，之后黎巴嫩武装部队又将记忆卡还给了巡逻队。另外，4月8日，几个人走到联黎部队的一辆车辆旁，抱怨该车位置靠近利塔尼河。他们用脚踹车并向车身投掷石块。当他们看到联黎部队其他巡逻人员走过来时离开了现场。4月18日，联黎部队要求拍摄以色列国防军阵地照片的几个人停下，但遭到拒绝。当联黎部队同样拍下这些人的照片时，这些人拿过联黎部队的照相机，将记忆卡取出后把相机还给了联黎部队。黎巴嫩武装部队于同一天晚些时候将记忆卡还回。6月9日，在距离Majdal Silim不远处，一辆乘坐4个平民的汽车拦住了联黎部队巡逻队。这些人抢走巡逻队的全球定位系统、一张地图、一台照相机和若干份车辆文件后逃离了现场。联黎部队就所有这些事件向黎巴嫩武装部队提出强烈抗议。", "22. 尽管出现了上文所报事件，当地民众对联黎部队的态度总体上是积极的。总部和区一级的民政办公室和军民协调股继续定期开展联络和外联活动。联黎部队参与当地的节日及其他活动进一步加强了与民间社会组织的合作与协调，并得到了当地居民的积极反馈。继续通过部队派遣国及利用联黎部队预算执行速效项目。", "23. 联黎部队继续向黎巴嫩武装部队提供援助，协助他们采取措施，争取按照第1701(2006)号决议的规定在“蓝线”和利塔尼河之间建立一个除黎巴嫩政府和联黎部队部署的武装人员、资产和武器外没有其他任何武装人员、资产和武器的区域。黎巴嫩武装部队5月23日通报联黎部队，其在联黎部队行动区东区外Hasbaya附近拦截并逮捕了一个人，此人企图偷偷将一枚未装引信的火箭弹运入联黎部队行动区。", "24. 在本报告所述期间，联黎部队还在行动区内遇到有人携带狩猎武器。有两次，分别是在一个返乡仪式和一个葬礼上，发现有几个人携带AK-47步枪或类似型号武器并向空中开枪。在利塔尼河以南地区出现除黎巴嫩政府和联黎部队武器之外的武器均属违反第1701(2006)号决议规定。黎巴嫩武装部队和联黎部队一道禁止所有狩猎活动。通过这一预防性的行动，黎巴嫩武装部队拘留了几个人并没收了他们的武器。此外，还在行动区内的巴勒斯坦难民营发现了武装人员和武器。", "25. 在本报告所述期间，联黎部队没有发现任何武器储藏处、军用物资或基础设施。联黎部队定期检查行动区内以前发现过的武装分子原有设施，包括掩体和洞穴，但没有发现被重新启用的迹象，在行动区内，也没有发现新建军事设施的证据。3月18日，黎巴嫩武装部队发表声明说，2011年3月17日，黎巴嫩武装部队一支特别部队拆除了以色列在靠近提尔城的Shama地区安放并伪装成一块山石的监视和摄像系统。3月21日，黎巴嫩看守政府外交部长给秘书长和安理会主席的同文信(A/65/805-S/2011/174)对此事件提出抗议，称其侵犯了黎巴嫩主权和第1701(2006)号决议。在此事件之前或其后，都没有向联黎部队提供任何信息，尽管联黎部队一再要求黎巴嫩武装部队和以色列国防军向联黎部队提供必要的所有相关信息，以弄清事实。", "26. 以色列政府坚持认为，真主党在继续增强其军事存在和能力，包括在联黎部队行动区内。以色列政府还指控真主党在黎巴嫩南部的人口稠密区维持军事阵地和部队，将未经许可的武器运进黎巴嫩，包括运入联黎部队行动区。", "27. 联黎部队只要接到明确情报，就会在黎巴嫩武装部队的合作下，立即就所有关于在其行动区内武装人员或武器非法存在的指控展开调查。联黎部队一贯坚决运用其授权范围内一切手段，在接战规则最大限度内采取行动。根据授权，联黎部队不能搜查私人住宅和财产，除非有可信证据显示有违反第1701(2006)号决议之情事，包括源于该具体地点之敌对行动构成迫在眉睫的威胁。迄今为止，联黎部队从未接获或发现在未经许可的情况下军火运入其行动区的证据。黎巴嫩武装部队指挥部再次确认，一旦收到区内有未经许可武装人员或武器的证据，就会立即采取行动，制止任何违反第1701(2006)号决议和政府相关决定的活动，尤其是违反关于武装人员和武器在利塔尼河以南非法存在的决定的非法活动。", "28. 联黎部队海事工作队继续履行其在海上行动区开展海上拦截行动和训练黎巴嫩海军的双重授权任务。自2006年10月海事工作队开始执行任务以来，已打信号示意和询问了38 107艘船只；黎巴嫩海军检查了1 078艘可疑商船，其中213艘舰船是自我上次报告以来检查的。黎巴嫩海军和海关官员检查了这些船只，以确定船上未装载未经许可的军火或相关物资；这些船只都通过了检查。在本报告所述期间，海事工作队举办了71次讲习班和184个海上训练阶段。黎巴嫩海军人员继续通过开展指挥海上拦截行动在岗培训，改进其行动能力。但因缺乏能抵御恶劣天气条件的足够船只，而受到某些限制。", "29. 在沿浮标线海域各种事件继续时有发生，以色列国防军沿浮标线投放深水炸弹或发射照明弹，并鸣枪示警。联黎部队没有监测这条浮标线的任务授权，浮标线是以色列政府单方面设置的，并未得到黎巴嫩政府的承认。3月7日，在三方论坛上，黎巴嫩政府要求联黎部队在黎巴嫩和以色列之间设立一条海上安全线。双方同意联黎部队就一般性海上安全问题与双方进行探索性双边讨论，就此部队指挥官已书面致函双方。", "B. 安保和联络安排", "30. 由联黎部队指挥官主持、并有黎巴嫩武装部队和以色列国防军高级代表出席的三方会议，仍是联黎部队与双方定期联络和协调所不可或缺的，仍是讨论与执行第1701(2006)号决议有关的安保和军事行动问题的关键机制。三方会议还讨论了对各种事件以及违反决议之情事的调查情况，会议是防止未来这种事件重演的一种手段，以增强“蓝线”附近地区的稳定。双方均表示信守对此一论坛的承诺。然而，在划定“蓝线”标示问题上继续出现僵局，以色列决定不再重新作出人道主义安排，不让布利达地区农民前往“蓝线”以南的橄榄田，这些都有可能对双方之间整体信任水平产生影响。6月2日，论坛召开特别会议，讨论了联黎部队对5月15日事件进行的初步调查报告。双方表示致力于防止此类悲惨事件再次发生。虽然没有就“蓝线”沿线敏感地区的行动程序达成正式协议，但双方已形成一种切实可行的工作方式，联黎部队方面维持在Kafr Kila和EL-Adeisse地区的加强部署，这有助于减少这些地区事发数目。在此积极影响的基础上，联黎部队审查了有关安排，向双方提出未来数月这两个地区适用的具体行动程序。联黎部队与双方进行了接触，以便将这些程序扩大到其他近几个月报有事发的地区。", "31. 自我上次报告以来，联黎部队和黎巴嫩武装部队已举行了三次战略对话会议，两个代表团讨论了职权范围和议事规则。", "32. 联黎部队和黎巴嫩武装部队通过定期在黎巴嫩武装部队总部的互动以及通过日常联络活动，继续在行动和战术层面进行定期互动。这还包括在联黎部队总部和区一级安插黎巴嫩武装部队联络官，并让联黎部队一名联络官常驻黎巴嫩武装部队在提尔的南利塔尼区总部。", "33. 联黎部队继续同以色列国防军保持有效的联络和协调，包括联黎部队指挥官与以色列国防军对应人员进行定期互动。联黎部队继续在Zefat的以色列国防军北部指挥部总部安插两名联络官。在特拉维夫设立联黎部队办事处一事未取得任何进展。", "C. 解除武装团体的武装", "34. 真主党和不受国家控制的其他武装团伙违反第1559(2004)号、第1680(2006)号和第1701(2006)号决议，继续严重威胁黎巴嫩对本国领土充分行使主权的能力。", "35. 真主党继续承认该党维持着黎巴嫩国家军事武库之外的一个庞大军事武库，用于防御以色列。在本报告所述期间，真主党秘书长哈桑·纳斯鲁拉在几次公开讲话中说，真主党将继续训练、锻炼和武装自己，以保护黎巴嫩和其自然资源免遭他所说的“潜在的以色列袭击”。", "36. 3月13日，3.14联盟在黎巴嫩组织了一场大型政治集会，以纪念该联盟成立6周年。会上进行的政治辩论突出讨论了真主党的武器问题。所有发言者都谴责在国家控制以外继续存在和使用武器，并将武器作为国内舞台上的一个政治工具。", "37. 本报告所述期间，在拆除解放巴勒斯坦人民阵线总指挥部(人阵总指挥部)和法塔赫起义组织维护的军事基地方面，仍未取得进展。这些军事基地不受黎巴嫩国家控制，其中大多数基地横越黎巴嫩和阿拉伯叙利亚共和国之间的边界。和我上一次报告一样，我再次呼吁黎巴嫩当局拆除人阵总指挥部和法塔赫起义组织的军事基地，并呼吁阿拉伯叙利亚共和国政府合作，开展这方面的工作。", "38. 在本报告所述期间，在黎巴嫩的12个巴勒斯坦难民营没有发生重大安全事故记录。黎巴嫩当局继续指出，黎巴嫩武装部队和巴勒斯坦安全官员之间，在难民营有着良好合作。他们还强调，4月27日在埃及政府的主持下巴勒斯坦各方之间达成的和解协议，对难民营的安全条件产生了积极的影响。", "39. 3月23日事件凸显了在黎巴嫩国家控制以外的武装集团的存在问题，当时，有7位爱沙尼亚游客在贝卡地区被绑架。在撰写本报告之时，这些人仍下落不明。黎巴嫩安全机构与爱沙尼亚当局合作，继续努力确保他们的获释。我呼吁立即释放这些游客。", "40. 我仍坚信，应通过国内政治进程来解除武装团体的武装，从而除了黎巴嫩国家的武器和当局之外，没有任何武器和当局可以立足。2008年5月，黎巴嫩领导人亲自对这一进程作出承诺，他们决定召集全国对话委员会来商定一项国防战略，其中必须考虑到不受国家控制的武器问题。自2010年11月4日以来，该全国对话委员会没有召开过会议。", "D. 武器禁运", "41. 安全理事会在第1701(2006)号决议中，决定各国应防止其国民，或防止从其境内，或防止使用悬挂其国旗的船只或飞机向黎巴嫩境内的任何实体或个人出售或供应武器和各类有关物资。黎巴嫩政府没有上报任何违反第1701(2006)号决议实施的武器禁运的行为。以色列政府方面声称，真主党继续扩大其武库。虽然联合国严肃对待这些指控，但没有能力独立核实这一信息。", "42. 安理会通过第1701(2006)号决议还呼吁黎巴嫩政府保障边界和其他过境点的安全，以防止武器和相关物资未经其许可进入黎巴嫩。黎巴嫩当局通知我的黎巴嫩事务特别协调员说，部署安全人员管理边界的作法保持不变，只是如下文第43段所述，增加部署黎巴嫩武装部队额外两个连。", "43. 北部与阿拉伯叙利亚共和国的边界继续由边界共同部队管理，其中包括来自黎巴嫩四个安全机构(武装部队、国内安全、安全总局和海关)约700名工作人员。5月上半月，靠近与黎巴嫩接壤边界的叙利亚各城镇的局势使得估计有4 000人越过黎巴嫩北部边界涌入黎巴嫩。为此，黎巴嫩武装部队部署了额外两个连队，约220名官兵，以支持边界共同部队。到6月初，许多流离失所者返回阿拉伯叙利亚共和国。联合国正与黎巴嫩政府密切合作，为这些流离失所者提供协助，并解决保护和确定其国籍的问题。苏莱曼总统向我的特别协调员保证，在这方面，黎巴嫩将遵守其国际义务。", "44. 在东部边界，黎巴嫩军队继续沿着与现在的共同边界部队行动区紧邻的一条长达80公里直至Arsal的区段，部署约600名官兵和约200人的国内治安部队。黎巴嫩武装部队计划部署第三个边界团，将在Arsal村和Masnaa主要过境点之间开展行动。", "45. 在我的特别协调员于2011年4月14日主持的会议上，各捐助国大使继续讨论向黎巴嫩提供援助，以改善其边界管理能力。大使们指出，由于没有一项关于边界管理的国家综合战略，很难调集更多资源，并重申必须通过这样一项国家战略。各捐助国同意继续分享信息，协调执行支持黎巴嫩边界管理的现有项目。然而，由于黎巴嫩尚无政府可言，妨碍了在根据国家协调员2010年制定的战略草案通过一项边界管理国家综合战略方面取得进展。", "46. 黎巴嫩和阿拉伯叙利亚共和国之间边界的有效管理继续受到下列事实的不利影响：边界仍未能划定和标界，而且人阵总指挥部和法塔赫起义组织的军事基地仍遍布两国边界之间。", "E. 地雷和集束炸弹", "47. 黎巴嫩排雷行动中心是黎巴嫩武装部队的一个单位，也是承担管理所有人道主义扫雷行动全部责任的国家排雷主管部门。联合国地雷行动协调中心继续就排除地雷/未爆弹药活动，向联黎部队和黎巴嫩排雷行动中心提供支持。在本报告所述期间，又记录了另外8个集束炸弹攻击地点，从而使总数达到1 135个。", "48. 自2006年8月扫雷行动开始后，扫雷人员伤亡总数达到63人，其中14人死亡、49人受伤；关于平民伤亡事件，3月31日在Snaya(Jezzine)发生了一起因反坦克地雷引发的事件，造成一人受伤。另一起事件涉及集束炸弹，造成RAS EL Ein，Deir Qanun有一名平民死亡。这两起事件使平民伤亡人数达到292人，其中29人死亡，263人受伤。", "49. 黎巴嫩正在筹备将于2011年9月举行的《集束弹药公约》缔约国第二次会议。这次会议预计将吸引约1 000名代表，包括该公约缔约国的代表、国际组织和民间社会组织的代表。", "F. 划定边界", "50. 安全理事会在其第1680(2006)号决议第4段中坚决鼓励阿拉伯叙利亚共和国政府对黎巴嫩政府所提出的请求作出积极反应，划定两国之间的边界，特别是在边界不明确或有争议的地区。这将是在改善边界管理和保障黎巴嫩的主权、领土完整和政治独立方面迈出的重大一步。安全理事会在其第1701(2006)号决议中重申了这一呼吁。", "51. 在本报告所述期间，在黎巴嫩与阿拉伯叙利亚共和国边界划定和标界方面没有取得进展，尽管阿萨德总统和苏莱曼总统自2008年8月以来在几次首脑会议上作出承诺。负责这些事项的黎巴嫩和叙利亚联合边界委员会尚未召开会议。迄今为止，只有黎巴嫩指定了其参与该委员会的人选。", "52. 在沙巴阿农场地区问题上也没有取得任何进展。尽管我一再要求，但无论是阿拉伯叙利亚共和国，还是以色列都没有对我2007年10月30日发表的关于安全理事会第1701(2006)号决议执行情况的报告(S/2007/641)所载有关该地区的临时界定作出任何回应。", "三. 联合国驻黎巴嫩临时部队的安保和安全", "53. 5月27日，联黎部队遭受了一次直接的恐怖袭击，联黎部队后勤车队行经西顿镇以北由贝鲁特通往黎巴嫩南部的主要沿海公路时，遭遇遥控路边炸弹袭击，这条公路是联黎部队的主要补给线。这次袭击造成6名意大利维和人员受伤，其中两人伤势严重，4人轻度至中度受伤，此外，还有两名黎巴嫩平民受轻伤。爆炸发生在2008年1月联黎部队一辆车遭袭击的地点附近(见S/2008/135)。黎巴嫩当局和联黎部队立即对这一事件展开了调查。这是第1701(2006)号决议通过以来联黎部队遭到的第四次袭击，是三年多来第一次遭到袭击。正如以前的事件一样，没有人声称对袭击事件负责。所有黎巴嫩当局高级人员以及各政治派别的政治领导人都谴责了这次袭击。意大利当局还启动了对这一袭击的调查。", "54. 联黎部队人员的安全保障仍然是一个高度优先事项。尽管各方有义务确保联黎部队的安全保障，黎巴嫩政府有责任维护法律和秩序，但联黎部队继续采用减轻风险措施，包括对工作人员进行安全意识培训，对设施和资产实施保护工程。定期审查特派团的安全计划和减轻风险措施，特派团对文职人员进行了撤离准备演习。联黎部队、黎巴嫩当局和黎巴嫩武装部队定期合作，以确保妥善化解安全威胁。", "55. 联黎部队继续关注黎巴嫩军事法庭对被指控组织武装团体袭击联黎部队的个人的诉讼情况。3月7日法庭作出了9项判决，1项为缺席判决，刑期18个月至5年不等，原因是拥有爆炸物，以及策划和实施对黎巴嫩武装部队和联黎部队的恐怖袭击。还有一起案件的法院诉讼程序继续进行，共有10人被指控拥有武器和爆炸物以及计划袭击联黎部队。排定于5月23日举行的听证会延期至7月下旬。", "四. 联合国驻黎巴嫩临时部队的部署", "56. 截至6月15日，联黎部队的总兵力为11 925人，其中包括574名妇女。特派团有353名国际工作人员和657名本国文职工作人员，其中分别包括103名和169名妇女。联黎部队还得到52名联合国停战监督组织黎巴嫩观察员小组军事观察员的支持，其中有5名妇女。", "57. 目前正在实施维持和平行动部-联黎部队联合技术审查提出的建议，包括所建议的对兵力结构、资产和所需资源的调整。3月1日，通过合并法国营和快速反应部队成立了联黎部队指挥官后备队。对相邻的责任营区进行了重新划分，其中吸纳了前法国营的地区。5月30日，即将进驻的爱尔兰营先遣队抵达，而主力部分排定于6月下旬部署。", "五. 意见", "58. 我担心全面执行第1701(2006)号决议方面的停滞阻碍了各方努力按照该决议的要求争取永久停火和长期解决方案。我对两起危险的事件感到特别不安，发生在5月15日的一起事件，考验了第1701(2006)号决议建立的安全安排，第二起是身份不明的袭击者对联黎部队的直接袭击。事实上，这些事态发展是在紧张的区域背景下发生的，这使得其严重性更加复杂。", "59. 我对5月15日Maroun ar-Ras附近发生的事件感到关切，在有关事件期间，以色列国防军直接使用实弹来对付手无寸铁试图突破技术围栏的示威者。与此同时，组织者对确保示威者不接近技术围栏，且不使示威演变成暴力行为负有责任。我对生命损失感到遗憾。", "60. 黎巴嫩武装部队和以色列国防军对防止和纠正任何违反第1701(2006)号决议的行为负有首要责任。我呼吁黎巴嫩政府和黎巴嫩武装部队在该地区执行法律，加强秩序，以防止从黎巴嫩领土一侧的“蓝线”发生任何事件。黎巴嫩武装部队应充分利用联黎部队应要求提供的支持和援助。我呼吁以色列国防军力行克制，在此类情况下不要以实弹射击还手，除非确有立即自卫的需要。尽管每个国家有着自卫的固有权利，但以色列国防军始终要采取适当的行动措施，包括人群控制措施，这些措施要与对其部队和平民所遭到的迫在眉睫的威胁相对称。我呼吁双方充分利用商定的联络和协调安排，并与联黎部队密切合作，以减轻进一步发生暴力的风险。", "61. 我谴责5月27日对联黎部队人员的袭击，袭击造成6名维和人员受伤，其中两人伤势严重，另有两名黎巴嫩平民受伤。我呼吁黎巴嫩当局尽最大努力将肇事者绳之以法。我仍然对联合国人员的安全感到关切，并敦促所有各方遵守其义务，尊重他们的安全保障。", "62. 尽管这些事件很严重，但在本报告所述期间的大部分时间内，联黎部队的行动区内相对稳定和平静。以色列和黎巴嫩两国政府致力于第1701(2006)号决议的规定，停止敌对行动在这方面一直很重要。毫无疑问，安全理事会第1701(2006)号决议建立的安排，为维护稳定和遏制该地区的紧张局势作出了贡献。这是不小的成就。然而，如果在全面执行决议方面没有取得真正进展，沿“蓝线”的局势仍将处于岌岌可危的脆弱状态。", "63. 因此，我呼吁双方最大程度地利用联黎部队与黎巴嫩武装部队合作，帮助在行动区建立的新战略环境，从而在执行第1701(2006)号决议，包括尊重整个“蓝线”的完整性方面，取得进一步进展，并采取必要步骤达成永久停火。此外，我呼吁以色列政府保持其承诺，全面执行第1701(2006)号决议，并为此采取实际和具体的步骤。我还呼吁米加提总理为首的黎巴嫩新政府明确承诺全面执行第1701(2006)号决议和黎巴嫩的所有国际义务，并在这方面采取必要步骤。", "64. 我感到鼓舞的是，黎巴嫩武装部队和以色列国防军承诺与联黎部队密切合作，包括在沿“蓝线”的敏感地区的特别作业程序上合作，以作为一种手段，防止可能加剧紧张局势和导致发生事件的误解。我希望与联黎部队的密切合作和协调，包括通过三方论坛开展的合作和协调，将进一步推进建立双方之间的信任和信心。", "65. 我感到关切的是，明显标示“蓝线”进程中仍缺乏真实可见的进展。我赞扬联黎部队持续同双方努力以打破僵局，并敦促双方在实地有争议的地点以建设性和务实的方式行事。我为双方对联黎部队的最新倡议的回应感到鼓舞，并希望该倡议可恢复“蓝线”标示进程的势头。", "66. 我还感到关切的是，以色列国防军几乎每天都飞越黎巴嫩领土上空，继续造成大量违反第1701(2006)号决议的行为和侵犯黎巴嫩主权的行为。这些飞越加剧了联黎部队行动区的紧张局势。这些飞越对黎巴嫩武装部队和联黎部队的信誉有着负面影响。我再次呼吁以色列立即停止其飞越行为。", "67. 我感到失望的是，以色列国防军仍未撤出盖杰尔北部和“蓝线”以北相邻地区。联黎部队与双方合作，已准备了盖杰尔北部周围地区的安全安排，应能满足各方的安全需求。这些安排将支持执行联合国的提议，促进“蓝线”以南的以色列国防军撤离。以色列国防军的撤离是朝着全面执行第1701(2006)号决议迈出的重要一步。", "68. 我仍然感到担心的是，妨碍联黎部队行动自由和危及维和人员的安全保障的事件不断发生。按照第1701(2006)号和第1773(2007)号决议，联黎部队的行动自由及其工作人员的安全保障是对于有效执行其任务是不可或缺的。确保联黎部队人员在行动区行动自由的主要责任在于黎巴嫩当局。此外，我希望黎巴嫩武装部队和联黎部队将找到加强事件处理和事件调查的办法。", "69. 联黎部队和黎巴嫩武装部队是执行第1701(2006)号决议和维持联黎部队行动区稳定等方面的战略伙伴。联黎部队和黎巴嫩武装部队在战略对话进程中的接触使我感到鼓舞，但我认为需要加快步伐。", "70. 黎巴嫩武装部队继续本着承诺和决心采取行动，我对其在防止再次发生任何类似6月5日事件中所发挥的作用感到特别高兴。我感谢那些为装备和训练包括黎巴嫩在内的海军黎武装部队提供关键支持的国家。我促请国际社会加大支持力度，以确保黎巴嫩武装部队具有所需要的能力，以便在联黎部队行动区和黎巴嫩领水承担更大的责任。", "71. 超出国家控制之外的武装团体的存在继续威胁黎巴嫩的主权和稳定，妨碍全面执行第1559(2004)号和第1701(2006)号决议。我呼吁黎巴嫩领导人坚持国内政治进程，解除在国家控制之外运作的武装团体的武装。在此背景下，鉴于新政府已经到位，我鼓励苏莱曼总统尽早再次召集全国对话委员会。", "72. 我还感到关切的是，黎巴嫩境内继续存在人阵总部和“法塔赫起义”组织的军事基地。这些基地对黎巴嫩管理其边境的能力构成挑战，破坏黎巴嫩的主权。我再次呼吁黎巴嫩政府，根据2006年全国对话达成的、并在此后多次重申的协议，拆除这些军事基地，并呼吁阿拉伯叙利亚共和国政府充分配合这些努力。", "73. 我呼吁所有会员国防止未经黎巴嫩国同意向黎巴嫩境内的实体或个人转让军火和相关物资。我鼓励黎巴嫩新政府推进其前任所作的控制边境的努力，包括通过2010年承诺的边界综合管理战略。我感谢正在为改进黎巴嫩的边界管理能力而提供援助的会员国，并呼吁国际社会在黎巴嫩边界综合战略获得通过后,支持执行之。", "74. 划定和标定黎巴嫩与阿拉伯叙利亚共和国共同边境的努力应继续进行，首先要启动黎巴嫩-叙利亚联合边境委员会。边境划分对两个国家之间的积极关系非常重要。我促请阿拉伯叙利亚共和国政府与黎巴嫩政府合作，按照第1701(2006)号和第1680(2005)号决议，采取具体和切合实际的步骤来实现这一目标。", "75. 我还打算继续努力，按照第1701(2006)号决议第10段，寻求沙巴阿农场地区问题的外交解决方案。但是，我必须承认，这些努力由于以色列和阿拉伯叙利亚共和国不愿意此刻解决这个问题而受阻。我再次呼吁这两个国家就我2007年10月提供的对沙巴阿农场地区的临时界定(见S/2007/641)提交答复。", "76. 居住在黎巴嫩境内的巴勒斯坦难民面临的境况仍是一个值得关注的问题。这些难民中的三分之二生活在贫困中，受到非常高的失业率、慢性病的高发率、营养不足和恶劣的生活条件等方面的影响。我呼吁黎巴嫩新政府落实2010年8月通过的《黎巴嫩劳动法》和《社会保障法》修正案，从而有效改进在黎巴嫩境内的巴勒斯坦难民的就业前景。我还继续感到非常关切的是，联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处(近东救济工程处)继续面临资金短缺的问题，向巴勒斯坦难民提供基础教育和卫生保健的经常方案以及重建4年前被毁的巴里德河难民营均缺乏资金。我促请包括本区域国家在内的捐助方继续提供支助，如果可能的话，增加其对近东救济工程处的支助。保证巴勒斯坦难民充分实现人权方面取得的进展不会影响在阿拉伯-以色列全面和平协定范围内解决巴勒斯坦难民问题。", "77. 我赞扬联黎部队特派团团长兼部队指挥官以及联黎部队所有军事和文职人员，他们在帮助促进黎巴嫩南部的和平与稳定中继续发挥关键作用，我还要赞扬黎巴嫩问题特别协调员和他办公室的工作人员。", "78. 我强烈地意识到，影响整个区域的事态变化对以色列和黎巴嫩履行第1701(2006)号决议规定的义务具有很大影响。近几个月来，民众抗议和政治变革的浪潮席卷该区域。在此背景下，阿拉伯叙利亚共和国的事态发展有可能会直接影响黎巴嫩，并因此影响第1701(2006)号决议的执行。阿拉伯-以色列冲突(以色列和黎巴嫩之间的冲突是其中的一个组成部分)，也无法不受这些戏剧性事态发展的影响。", "79. 我呼吁以色列和黎巴嫩采取必要步骤，达成安全理事会第1701(2006)号决议所称的规范双方关系的长期解决方案。实现该解决方案不能、也不应当脱离在安全理事会各项有关决议基础上实现中东全面、公正和持久和平的需要，这些决议包括第242(1967)号、第338(1973)号和第1515(2003)号决议。我呼吁各方和所有会员国为实现这一目标做出坚定的努力。" ]

[ "Sixteenth report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006)", "I. Introduction", "1. The present report provides a comprehensive assessment of the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) since the last report of the Secretary-General (S/2011/91) was issued on 28 February 2011.", "2. The security arrangements put in place by resolution 1701 (2006) have been seriously tested by a number of incidents during the period under review. The absence of a Government in Lebanon during most of the reporting period and the political tumult in the Arab world have contributed to an already volatile climate.", "3. On 15 May, the most deadly incident in the Blue Line area since the adoption of the resolution occurred when the Israel Defense Forces, after firing initial warning shots, opened live fire against Palestinian demonstrators who had reached the Israeli technical fence, in the area of Maroun al-Ras in southern Lebanon, killing 7 civilians and injuring 111. On 27 May, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) sustained the first direct terrorist attack in over three years, when a bomb planted on the main north-south highway just north of the town of Saida hit a UNIFIL vehicle, injuring six peacekeepers, two of them seriously, and two Lebanese civilians.", "4. In spite of this adverse environment, the parties have managed to maintain their commitment to resolution 1701 (2006), which has ensured that the cessation of hostilities has continued to hold. Notwithstanding this, the parties have failed to make significant progress in the implementation of other key obligations under resolution 1701 (2006), as described in greater detail in this report. The parties should make every effort to meet their obligations under the resolution if progress from the current cessation of hostilities to a permanent ceasefire, as called for in the resolution, is to be achieved.", "5. Lebanon was in effect without a Government during most of the reporting period after the collapse on 12 January of the national unity Government led by Saad Hariri. The prolonged absence of a functioning Government was accompanied by institutional paralysis, increased polarization between the 8 March and 14 March camps and a deterioration of security conditions in the country. The absence of a Government also halted processes that are key in order for Lebanon to make further progress in implementation of its obligations under resolution 1701 (2006). Attempts by Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati since 25 January to form a new Government succeeded on 13 June, when he announced a new Government composed of 30 Cabinet ministers who belong predominantly to the 8 March alliance.", "6. The situation within Lebanon and the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) have also been influenced by developments taking place in the region. The unrest in the Syrian Arab Republic since mid-March, in particular, has affected Lebanon in different ways, most visibly through the influx across its northern border in mid-May of an estimated 4,000 persons fleeing violence in Syrian towns close to the border.", "II. Implementation of resolution 1701 (2006)", "A. Situation in the UNIFIL area of operations", "7. The parties have maintained their commitment to resolution 1701 (2006) and the cessation of hostilities. The situation in the UNIFIL area of operations remained stable and quiet for most of the period, despite regular violations of Lebanese airspace and a number of ground violations of the Blue Line. There was a deadly and tragic incident on 15 May during a Palestinian demonstration near Maroun al‑Ras (Sector West).", "8. UNIFIL estimates that around 8,000 to 10,000 demonstrators, mostly Palestinian refugees, participated in the event. Organizers included Palestinian and Lebanese organizations, among them Hizbullah. While the majority of demonstrators commemorated the day peacefully at the site prepared for the occasion, away from the Blue Line, around 1,000 protesters left the main gathering and, crossing through a minefield, moved towards the Blue Line and the Israeli technical fence. Using cordons and firing in the air, the Lebanese Armed Forces was able to stop a first attempt by a smaller group to reach the technical fence but was not able to prevent the second attempt by the demonstrators. At the technical fence, demonstrators unearthed 23 anti-tank mines, threw stones and two petrol bombs across the fence and attempted to climb it and bring it down. Following a verbal warning and firing into the air, the Israel Defense Forces then directed live fire at the protesters at the fence. After the arrival of reinforcements, Lebanese Armed Forces Special Forces reserve moved the protesters away from the fence. The Lebanese Armed Forces initially informed UNIFIL that 11 persons were killed. This figure was later revised to 7, with 111 people injured. In addition, the respective parties informed UNIFIL that 70 Lebanese Armed Forces soldiers and 4 Israel Defense Forces troops were lightly wounded by stones. One UNIFIL soldier also sustained light wounds from a thrown stone.", "9. UNIFIL immediately initiated an investigation into the incident in order to determine the violations of resolution 1701 (2006) that occurred on that day, as well as the deployment, posture and actions of all parties involved in the incident. Preliminary findings indicate that the demonstrators, in throwing stones and petrol bombs across the Israeli technical fence and the Blue Line, and in attempting to bring down a section of the fence, carried out a provocative and violent act that constitutes a violation of resolution 1701 (2006). The Lebanese Armed Forces troops deployed in the area tried to prevent the demonstrators from approaching the technical fence and the Blue Line. The number of troops and the available equipment proved, however, insufficient for the expected turnout and the envisaged risks concerning the event. Once deployed, the Lebanese Armed Forces Special Forces managed quickly to push back the crowd, using batons, tear gas and heavy firing in the air. Other than firing initial warning shots, the Israel Defense Forces did not use conventional crowd control methods or any other method than lethal weapons against the demonstrators. The firing of live ammunition by the Israel Defense Forces across the Blue Line against the demonstrators, which resulted in the loss of civilian life and a significant number of casualties, constituted a violation of resolution 1701 (2006) and was not commensurate with the threat to Israeli soldiers.", "10. During the tripartite meeting on 11 May and in bilateral contacts with UNIFIL, the Israel Defense Forces had warned that they would not tolerate interference with the technical fence, crossing of the Blue Line, or threats to the forces. Prior to the demonstrations, UNIFIL reinforced its positions in the area. UNIFIL did not deploy its troops on the ground during the incident, based on the assessment of the Lebanese Armed Forces and a request to avoid close contact with the demonstrators so as not to potentially aggravate the situation. With the exception of a request for UNIFIL to carry out helicopter patrols to monitor the situation from the air, the Lebanese Armed Forces did not ask for UNIFIL assistance. While the Israel Defense Forces called on UNIFIL to intervene on the ground once the demonstrators reached the technical fence, the Lebanese Armed Forces insisted that UNIFIL stay away from the demonstrators to avoid additional friction.", "11. In preparation for expected events commemorating the anniversary of the 1967 war in early June, UNIFIL convened a special meeting of the tripartite forum on 2 June and held separate coordination meetings with both the Lebanese Armed Forces and the Israel Defense Forces. Also on 2 June, the Lebanese Armed Forces decided to forbid demonstrators from entering the area south of the Litani River and declared the area a restricted military zone. The Lebanese Armed Forces also imposed strict security measures by deploying along the fence between KafrKila and El Adeisse village, particularly at the Fatima Gate. UNIFIL ensured a greater presence of its troops on the ground, in particular in sensitive areas along the Blue Line. Following the decision of the Lebanese Armed Forces, Palestinian organizations cancelled demonstrations along the Blue Line. On 5 June, there were two small gatherings along the Blue Line, which were swiftly dispersed by the Lebanese Armed Forces.", "12. The Israel Defense Forces continued its occupation of the northern part of Ghajar village and an adjacent area of land north of the Blue Line, in violation of resolution 1701 (2006). Since my last report, UNIFIL has engaged intensively with both parties in bilateral discussions on security arrangements to accompany the implementation of the proposal to facilitate the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the area. On the basis of the discussions and comments received, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and UNIFIL are in the process of finalizing a formal proposal of the security arrangements for adoption by the parties.", "13. The Israel Defense Forces have continued to make almost daily intrusions into Lebanese airspace, including regularly by fighter jets. As previous reports have noted, these overflights are violations of resolution 1701 (2006), as well as of Lebanese sovereignty. UNIFIL has continued to protest all air violations, calling on the Israeli authorities to cease them immediately. The Government of Lebanon has also continued to protest against the air violations, demanding that they stop. For its part, the Government of Israel continues to maintain that the overflights are a necessary security measure, citing, inter alia, the alleged lack of enforcement of the arms embargo.", "14. On 22 March, the Israel Defense Forces apprehended two Lebanese shepherds in the vicinity of Rumaysh (Sector West) who they alleged had crossed the Blue Line. Following contacts with both parties, the Israel Defense Forces handed the individuals over to UNIFIL the following day at the Ra’s Naqoura crossing point. UNIFIL, in turn, handed them over to the Lebanese authorities. The UNIFIL investigation concluded that, while one of the shepherds had violated the Blue Line by some 10 metres, the second shepherd had been north of the Line, making his apprehension a violation of the Blue Line by the Israel Defense Forces. During the investigation, the Israel Defense Forces noted that shepherds regularly violated the Blue Line in this area, as had been the case in the incident on 12 January detailed in my last report (S/2011/91). In the area of the incident, the Blue Line is clearly marked and visible.", "15. UNIFIL has finalized its investigation into the incident of 12 January, when the Israel Defense Forces apprehended another shepherd in the same area. The investigation concluded that available evidence pointed to a likely Blue Line violation by the shepherd. As a result of the number of incidents in this area, UNIFIL has intensified daily foot and vehicle patrols and increased the number of observation posts along the Blue Line in this area. UNIFIL also called upon the Lebanese Armed Forces to increase their activities and sensitize local shepherds concerning the grazing of their livestock close to the Blue Line.", "16. There were other ground violations of the Blue Line, mostly inadvertent, by Lebanese shepherds and farmers tending livestock or working in fields, mainly in the Shab’a Farms and KfarShouba areas. On 3 March, an Israel Defense Forces excavator crossed the Blue Line, also apparently inadvertently, while carrying out maintenance works along the technical fence in the vicinity of Metulla. On 14 April, an Israel Defense Forces tank crossed the technical fence in the vicinity of El Adeisse, sparking alarm on the Lebanese side. UNIFIL dispatched patrols to the area, interposed itself between the parties, and later reinforced its presence on the ground. There was no violation of the Blue Line, a fact acknowledged by the Lebanese Armed Forces. However, the action of the Israel Defense Forces led to a rapid rise in tension that, in the absence of UNIFIL, could have led to an incident. In all cases, UNIFIL was in contact with Israel Defense Forces and Lebanese Armed Forces commands, urging utmost caution in any actions along the Blue Line that could be perceived as provocative and exacerbate tensions.", "17. On a few occasions, UNIFIL observed civilians throwing stones at the Israeli technical fence in the general areas of KafrKila and El Adeisse (Sector East). On 16 March, stones were thrown on two occasions from the Israeli side of the technical fence, where an Israel Defense Forces position is located, at Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL personnel who were on duty in the vicinity of Fatima Gate near KafrKila. The Israel Defense Forces informed UNIFIL that they were investigating the incident. UNIFIL has continued to work with both parties to curb all such aggressive activities, and has urged them to exercise maximum restraint and inform UNIFIL of any violations of this nature.", "18. UNIFIL observed 10 cases of weapons pointing across the Blue Line. Four instances involved Israel Defense Forces soldiers pointing their weapons in the direction of UNIFIL personnel; in five other instances the Israel Defense Forces pointed their weapons in the direction of Lebanese civilians or Lebanese Armed Forces personnel. The most serious incident happened on 1 June, when Israel Defense Forces soldiers pointed a mounted heavy machine gun towards soldiers at a Lebanese Army checkpoint on the western side of Ghajar. The incident temporarily escalated tensions on both sides of the Blue Line, and the situation returned to normal only when the Israel Defense Forces patrol left the location. On one occasion, a Lebanese Armed Forces soldier pointed his weapon towards Israel in the vicinity of Israel Defense Forces soldiers. UNIFIL has protested against all incidents involving weapons being pointed and, when required and possible, interposed its soldiers between Lebanese Armed Forces and Israel Defense Forces soldiers, seeking to prevent such incidents from escalating. There were also a number of allegations of weapons being pointed, particularly in the areas of El Adeisse and KafrKila, as a result of which UNIFIL has established an additional observation point in the area of El Adeisse.", "19. While both parties continued to express their commitment to visibly mark the Blue Line, there is still a lack of consensus over contentious points, continuing to delay the process. As a result, no progress has been made in measuring coordinates within the existing sectors and efforts to open up a new marking sector have also proved unsuccessful. Despite this impasse, following UNIFIL bilateral discussions with them, both parties recently submitted to UNIFIL a list of coordinates, which they are willing to mark. UNIFIL is in the process of reviewing these lists and, once common points have been identified, will propose to the parties to commence marking those coordinates immediately.", "20. Cooperation between UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces remains a cornerstone of the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006). Efforts by UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces to expand their coordinated activities and further develop cooperation have continued. The two Forces have maintained their respective installations and continued their daily operational activities, comprising patrols, checkpoints and observation points. UNIFIL on its part conducted an average of 300 patrols per day, in addition to regular helicopter patrols and other operational activities. Joint Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL operational activities have also continued, including an average of 13 counter-rocket launching operations during each 24-hour period and 6 daily foot patrols, while operating 18 co-located checkpoints, 6 of which are on the Litani River. The Lebanese Armed Forces maintained their deployment in the UNIFIL area of operations at the level of four brigades until mid-June when they adjusted their deployment structure from four to three brigades, plus two battalions, while maintaining the overall number of deployed troops. During the reporting period, UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces conducted several large-scale joint capability exercises, including for mass casualty evacuation and a live fire artillery exercise.", "21. UNIFIL has generally enjoyed freedom of movement throughout its area of operations, carrying out approximately 9,000 to 10,000 patrols each month. On two occasions, on 30 May and 5 June, passengers travelling in civilian cars pointed handguns at UNIFIL and on two occasions patrols were impeded by local civilians. On 21 March, two civilian vehicles blocked a UNIFIL patrol in the vicinity of Hanin (Sector West) from the front and behind. When the civilians refused to move their vehicles, the patrol managed to circumvent them and left the site. The Lebanese Armed Forces later informed UNIFIL that both drivers had misunderstood the patrol’s demands. On 31 March, an Observer Group Lebanon patrol was blocked by a civilian vehicle in the vicinity of BintJbeil. After the Lebanese Armed Forces arrived at the scene, it was explained that the Observer Group Lebanon patrol had been stopped because it had taken photographs. At the request of the Lebanese Armed Forces, the patrol handed over the camera memory card, which the Lebanese Armed Forces subsequently returned. In addition, on 8 April, individuals approached a UNIFIL vehicle, complaining about its location close to the Litani River. They kicked the vehicle and threw stones at it. They left when they saw the rest of the UNIFIL patrol approaching. On 18 April, individuals taking photographs of an Israel Defense Forces position refused to stop when requested to do so by UNIFIL. When UNIFIL in turn took photographs of the individuals, the latter took the UNIFIL camera and removed the memory card before returning the camera. The Lebanese Armed Forces returned the memory card later in the day. On 9 June, close to MajdalSilim a UNIFIL patrol was stopped by a car carrying four civilians. The individuals seized a GPS device, a map, a camera and several vehicle documents from the patrol and fled the scene. UNIFIL strongly protested about all of these incidents to the Lebanese Armed Forces.", "22. Despite the incidents reported above, the attitude of the local population towards UNIFIL has remained on the whole positive. Civil Affairs and Civil-Military Coordination Units at Headquarters and sector level have continued with regular liaison and outreach activities. UNIFIL participation in local festivals and other events has further enhanced cooperation and coordination with civil society organizations and was positively received by the local population. Quick-impact projects continue to be implemented through troop-contributing countries, as well as the UNIFIL budget.", "23. UNIFIL has continued to provide assistance to the Lebanese Armed Forces in taking steps towards the establishment between the Blue Line and the Litani River of an area free of any armed personnel, assets and weapons, other than those of the Government of Lebanon and of UNIFIL, in accordance with resolution 1701 (2006). The Lebanese Armed Forces informed UNIFIL on 23 May that they had intercepted and arrested, in the vicinity of Hasbaya, outside the eastern section of the UNIFIL area of operations, an individual attempting to smuggle a rocket, which was not armed, into the UNIFIL area of operations.", "24. During the reporting period, UNIFIL encountered individuals carrying hunting weapons inside the area of operations. On two occasions, at a homecoming ceremony and a funeral, several individuals were found to be carrying AK-47s or similar types of weapons, and shooting them into the air. The presence of any weapons other than those of the Government of Lebanon and UNIFIL south of the Litani River is in contravention of resolution 1701 (2006). The Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL have worked together to curb all hunting activities. This proactive action led to the Lebanese Armed Forces detaining several individuals and confiscating their weapons. In addition, armed persons and weapons were present inside Palestinian refugee camps in the area of operations.", "25. During the reporting period, UNIFIL did not discover any arms caches, military materiel or infrastructure. UNIFIL routinely checked previously discovered former facilities of armed elements in the area of operations, including bunkers and caves, but found no indication that they had been reactivated and no evidence of new military infrastructure in its area of operations. On 18 March, the Lebanese Armed Forces issued a statement saying that on 17 March 2011, a specialized Lebanese Armed Forces unit had dismantled espionage and imaging systems planted by Israel and camouflaged as a rock in Shama near Tyre. On 21 March, the caretaker Lebanese Foreign Minister sent identical letters to the Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council (A/65/805-S/2011/174) protesting against the incident as a violation of Lebanese sovereignty and resolution 1701 (2006). No information was provided to UNIFIL either prior or subsequent to this event, despite repeated requests from UNIFIL to both the Lebanese Armed Forces and the Israel Defense Forces to provide all relevant information necessary for it to ascertain the facts.", "26. The Government of Israel maintains that Hizbullah is continuing to build up its military presence and capacity, including within the UNIFIL area of operations. It also charges that Hizbullah maintains military positions and units inside populated areas in southern Lebanon and that unauthorized weapons are being transferred into Lebanon, including into the UNIFIL area of operations.", "27. In cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces, UNIFIL immediately investigates any claim regarding the illegal presence of armed personnel or weapons in its area of operations if specific information is received. UNIFIL remains determined to act with all means available within its mandate and to the full extent provided for in its rules of engagement. Under its mandate, UNIFIL cannot search private houses and properties unless there is credible evidence of a violation of resolution 1701 (2006), including an imminent threat of hostile activity emanating from that specific location. To date, UNIFIL has neither been provided with, nor found, evidence of the unauthorized transfer of arms into its area of operations. The Lebanese Armed Forces Command continues to state that it will act immediately on receiving evidence of unauthorized armed personnel or weapons in the area and put a stop to any illegal activity in contravention of resolution 1701 (2006) and relevant Government decisions, specifically those concerning the illegal presence of armed personnel and weapons south of the Litani River.", "28. The UNIFIL Maritime Task Force has continued to carry out its dual mandate of conducting maritime interdiction operations in the area of maritime operations and training the Lebanese naval forces. Since its inception in October 2006, the Maritime Task Force has hailed and queried over 38,107 vessels, and the Lebanese navy has inspected a total of 1,078 merchant vessels identified as suspicious, 213 of them since my last report. Lebanese navy and Customs officials inspected the vessels to verify that there were no unauthorized arms or related materiel on board and cleared all of them. The Maritime Task Force and Lebanese naval forces conducted 71 workshops on land and 184 at-sea training phases during the reporting period. Lebanese navy personnel continued to further develop their capabilities by conducting on-the-job training in commanding maritime interdiction operations. Some limitations resulted from the lack of adequate Lebanese navy vessels that could endure severe weather conditions.", "29. Incidents along the line of buoys continued to occur, with the Israel Defense Forces dropping depth charges or firing flares and warning shots along the buoy line. UNIFIL has no mandate to monitor the line of buoys, which the Government of Israel installed unilaterally and which the Government of Lebanon does not recognize. At the tripartite meeting on 7 March, the Lebanese Armed Forces requested UNIFIL to establish a maritime security line between Lebanon and Israel. The parties agreed that UNIFIL would undertake exploratory bilateral discussions with both parties on maritime security issues in general and the Force Commander has written to both sides in this regard.", "B. Security and liaison arrangements", "30. Monthly tripartite meetings, chaired by the UNIFIL Force Commander and attended by senior representatives of the Lebanese Armed Forces and the Israel Defense Forces, continue to be an indispensable element in the regular liaison and coordination between UNIFIL and the parties, and remain a key mechanism to address security and military operational issues related to the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006). During the meetings, investigations into incidents and violations of the resolution as a means to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future and to improve stability in areas along the Blue Line were also discussed. The parties have maintained their commitment to the forum. However, the continuing impasse on Blue Line marking and the decision of Israel not to renew a humanitarian arrangement allowing farmers in the Blida area access to parts of the olive fields that are located south of the Blue Line might have an impact on the overall level of trust between the parties. The forum held one special meeting on 2 June where it discussed the UNIFIL preliminary investigation report into the events of 15 May. Both parties expressed their commitment to preventing a recurrence of such a tragic incident. Although no formal agreement on operational procedures in sensitive areas along the Blue Line was reached, a practical modus operandi with the parties has evolved and UNIFIL on its part has maintained its reinforced deployment in the KafrKila and El Adeisse areas, which has contributed to a decrease in the number of incidents in those areas. Building on this positive impact, UNIFIL has reviewed the arrangements and proposed to the parties specific operational procedures to be applied in those two areas in the forthcoming months. UNIFIL has engaged with the parties, with a view to extending these procedures to other areas where incidents have been reported in recent months.", "31. Since my last report, UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces have held three strategic dialogue meetings, in which the two delegations discussed the terms of reference and rules of procedure.", "32. UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces have continued their regular interaction at operational and tactical levels through regular interaction with Lebanese Armed Forces headquarters, as well as through daily liaison activities. This has included the placement of Lebanese Armed Forces liaison officers at UNIFIL Force headquarters and at the sector level, as well as a UNIFIL liaison officer placed at the Lebanese Armed Forces headquarters for the South Litani Sector in Tyre.", "33. UNIFIL has also continued its effective liaison and coordination with the Israel Defense Forces, including through regular interaction between the UNIFIL Force Commander and his counterparts, and the placement of two UNIFIL liaison officers at the Israel Defense Forces Northern Command headquarters in Zefat. No progress has been made in establishing a UNIFIL office in Tel Aviv.", "C. Disarming armed groups", "34. The maintenance of arms by Hizbullah and other armed groups outside of the control of the State, in violation of resolutions 1559 (2004), 1680 (2006) and 1701 (2006), continues to pose a serious challenge to the ability of the Lebanese State to exercise its full sovereignty over its territory.", "35. Hizbullah continues to acknowledge that it maintains a substantial military arsenal separate from that of the Lebanese State for defensive purposes against Israel. In several public pronouncements during the reporting period, the Secretary-General of Hizbullah, Hassan Nasrallah, stated that his party would continue to train, exercise, and arm itself to protect Lebanon and its natural resources against what he termed “potential Israeli attacks”.", "36. The issue of Hizbullah arms came to the forefront of the political debate in Lebanon at a large political rally that the 14 March coalition organized on 13 March, to commemorate the sixth anniversary of its formation. All speakers denounced the continued existence of arms outside the control of the State and their use as a political instrument in the domestic arena.", "37. No progress was achieved during the reporting period towards dismantling the military bases maintained by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) and by Fatah al-Intifada. These military bases are outside the control of the Lebanese State, with most of them straddling the border between Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Republic. As in my previous reports, I once again call upon the Lebanese authorities to dismantle the PFLP-GC and Fatah al‑Intifada military bases, and on the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic to cooperate with these efforts.", "38. No major security incidents were recorded in Lebanon’s 12 Palestinian camps during the reporting period. Lebanese security authorities continue to point to good cooperation existing between the Lebanese Armed Forces and Palestinian security officials in the camps. They also highlight the positive impact on security conditions in the camps brought about by the reconciliation agreement that was concluded on 27 April between Palestinian parties under the auspices of the Government of Egypt.", "39. The existence of armed groups outside the control of the State in Lebanon was highlighted on 23 March when seven Estonian tourists were abducted in the Bekaa region, close to the border with the Syrian Arab Republic. At the time of writing, the whereabouts of these men remain unknown. Lebanese security agencies continue their efforts to secure their release, in cooperation with Estonian authorities. I appeal for their immediate release.", "40. It remains my conviction that the disarmament of armed groups should be achieved through a domestic political process, so that there are no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than those of the Lebanese State. Lebanese leaders committed themselves to such a process in May 2008, when they decided to convene a National Dialogue Committee to agree on a national defence strategy, which, in turn, would have to consider the issue of weapons outside the control of the State. The National Dialogue Committee has not met since 4 November 2010.", "D. Arms embargo", "41. In resolution 1701 (2006), the Security Council decided that all States were to prevent the sale or supply of arms and related materiel to entities or individuals in Lebanon by their nationals, or from their territories, or using their flag vessels or aircraft. The Government of Lebanon did not report any breach of the arms embargo imposed by resolution 1701 (2006). For its part, the Government of Israel alleges that Hizbullah continues to build up its armaments. While the United Nations takes these allegations seriously, it is not in a position to verify this information independently.", "42. By resolution 1701 (2006) the Council also called upon the Government of Lebanon to secure its borders and other entry points so as to prevent the entry into Lebanon, without its consent, of arms and related materiel. Lebanese authorities informed my Special Coordinator for Lebanon that the deployment of security personnel for the management of the border remains unchanged, except for the deployment of two additional Lebanese Armed Forces companies described in paragraph 43 below.", "43. The management of the northern border with the Syrian Arab Republic continues to be entrusted to the Common Border Force, which comprises around 700 staff from Lebanon’s four security agencies (the Armed Forces, Internal Security, General Security and Customs). In the first half of May, the situation in Syrian towns close to the border with Lebanon prompted an influx of an estimated 4,000 persons across Lebanon’s northern border. In response, the Lebanese Armed Forces deployed two additional companies, numbering approximately 220 troops, to support the Common Border Force. By early June, many of the displaced persons had returned to the Syrian Arab Republic. The United Nations is coordinating closely with the Government of Lebanon on the provision of assistance to displaced persons, as well as on matters of protection and the determination of their status. President Sleiman assured my Special Coordinator that Lebanon would abide by its international obligations in this regard.", "44. On the eastern border, the Lebanese Army continues to deploy around 600 troops and 200 personnel from the Internal Security Forces, along a stretch of 80 kilometres immediately adjacent to the area of operations of the existing Common Border Force, up to Arsal. The Lebanese Armed Forces plan to deploy a third border regiment that would operate between the village of Arsal and the main crossing point of Masn’a.", "45. At a meeting chaired by my Special Coordinator on 14 April 2011, ambassadors of donor countries that continue to be engaged in providing support to Lebanon for the improvement of its border management capacity noted that the absence of a comprehensive national strategy for border management rendered difficult the mobilization of additional resources, and reiterated the need for such a national strategy to be adopted. Donors agreed to continue to share information and coordinate ongoing projects of support to Lebanon for border management. The absence of a Government in Lebanon, however, has stood in the way of progress in the adoption of a comprehensive national strategy for border management on the basis of the draft strategy developed by the National Coordinator in 2010.", "46. The effective management of the border between Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Republic continues to be adversely affected by the fact that it is neither delineated nor demarcated, and by the continued presence of PFLP-GC and Fatah al-Intifada military bases that straddle the border between the two countries.", "E. Landmines and cluster bombs", "47. The Lebanese Mine Action Centre, which is a unit of the Lebanese Armed Forces, is the national authority for mine action in Lebanon with full responsibility for the management of all humanitarian clearance. The United Nations Mine Action Coordination Centre continues to provide support to UNIFIL and the Lebanese Mine Action Centre concerning mine/unexploded ordnance clearance activities. During the reporting period, eight additional cluster bomb strike locations were recorded, bringing the total to 1,135.", "48. The total number of fatalities and injuries among demining personnel resulting from clearance activities since August 2006 is 63, including 14 fatalities and 49 injuries. As for civilian accidents/incidents, one incident occurred in Snaya (Jezzine) on 31 March caused by an anti-tank mine and resulting in an injury. Another incident involving a cluster bomb resulted in the death of a civilian in DeirQanun, Ras el Ein. These two incidents bring the number of casualties among civilians to 292, including 29 fatalities and 263 injuries.", "49. Preparations are under way for Lebanon to host, in September 2011, the second meeting of States Parties to the Convention on Cluster Munitions. The conference is expected to attract approximately 1,000 delegates, including representatives of States parties to the Convention, representatives of international organizations and civil society organizations.", "F. Delineation of borders", "50. In paragraph 4 of its resolution 1680 (2006), the Security Council strongly encouraged the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic to respond positively to the request of the Government of Lebanon to delineate their common border, especially in those areas where the border is uncertain or disputed. This would constitute a significant step towards improved management of the border and guaranteeing Lebanon’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence. In resolution 1701 (2006), the Security Council reiterated this call.", "51. No progress was achieved during the reporting period towards the delineation and demarcation of the border between Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Republic, despite commitments made in several summit meetings between President Assad and President Sleiman since August 2008. The joint Lebanese-Syrian border committee that is tasked with these matters has yet to convene. So far, only Lebanon has designated its participants in the committee.", "52. Nor was any progress recorded on the issue of the Shab’a Farms area. In spite of my repeated requests, neither the Syrian Arab Republic nor Israel have reacted to the provisional definition of the area contained in my report on the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006), issued on 30 October 2007 (S/2007/641).", "III. Security and safety of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon", "53. On 27 May, UNIFIL suffered a direct terrorist attack when an explosion caused by a remotely controlled roadside bomb hit a UNIFIL logistics convoy north of the town of Sidon, as it passed on the main coastal highway connecting Beirut to southern Lebanon, UNIFIL’s main supply route. The attack injured six Italian peacekeepers, two seriously while four suffered light to moderate injuries, in addition to causing minor injuries to two Lebanese civilians. The explosion occurred close to where an attack against a UNIFIL vehicle took place in January 2008 (see S/2008/135). The Lebanese authorities and UNIFIL immediately launched an investigation into the incident. This was the fourth attack against UNIFIL since the adoption of resolution 1701 (2006) and the first in more than three years. As was the case in the previous instances, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. All senior Lebanese authorities, as well as political leaders from across the political spectrum, condemned the attack. The Italian authorities have also opened an investigation into the attack.", "54. The security and safety of UNIFIL personnel remains a high priority. Notwithstanding the obligation of all parties to ensure the safety and security of UNIFIL and the responsibility of the Government of Lebanon to maintain law and order, UNIFIL continues to apply risk mitigating measures, including safety awareness training for the personnel and force protection works for installations and assets. The mission’s security plans and risk mitigating measures are reviewed regularly, and the mission has carried out evacuation preparedness exercises for civilian staff. UNIFIL, the Lebanese authorities and the Lebanese Armed Forces have regularly cooperated to ensure that security threats are addressed appropriately.", "55. UNIFIL has continued to observe proceedings in the Lebanese military court against individuals accused of forming armed groups to carry out attacks against it. On 7 March, nine sentences were handed out, one in absentia, for prison terms ranging between 18 months and five years for possession of explosives and planning and conducting terrorist attacks against the Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL. Court proceedings continue in one case, with a total of 10 persons accused of possessing weapons and explosives and planning attacks against UNIFIL. A scheduled hearing for 23 May was adjourned until late July.", "IV. Deployment of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon", "56. As at 15 June, the total military strength of UNIFIL was 11,925, including 574 women. The mission has 353 international and 657 national civilian staff members, of whom 103 and 169, respectively, are women. UNIFIL is also supported by 52 United Nations Truce Supervision Organization military observers of the Observer Group Lebanon, 5 of whom are women.", "57. The implementation of recommendations of the joint Department of Peacekeeping Operations/UNIFIL technical review, including the recommended adjustments to the force structure, assets and requirements, is ongoing. On 1 March, the UNIFIL Force Commander Reserve was established by merging the French battalion with the Quick Reaction Force. Neighbouring battalion areas of responsibility were redrawn, incorporating the area of the former French battalion. On 30 May, the advance party of the incoming Irish battalion arrived, while the main body is scheduled to deploy late in June.", "V. Observations", "58. I am worried that stagnation in the full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) has prevented the parties from moving towards a permanent ceasefire and a long-term solution, as requested by the resolution. I am particularly troubled by the two dangerous incidents, one on 15 May that tested the security arrangements put in place by resolution 1701 (2006), and the second the direct attack by unknown assailants on UNIFIL. The fact that these developments occurred in a tense regional context further compounds their gravity.", "59. I am concerned by the events that occurred near Maroun al-Ras on 15 May, during which the Israel Defense Forces used direct live fire against unarmed demonstrators who attempted to breach the technical fence. At the same time, the organizers were responsible for ensuring that demonstrators did not approach the technical fence and did not become violent. I regret the loss of life.", "60. The Lebanese Armed Forces and the Israel Defense Forces have the primary responsibility to prevent and correct any violation of resolution 1701 (2006). I call on the Lebanese authorities and the Lebanese Armed Forces to enforce law and order in the area and to prevent any incident on the Blue Line originating from Lebanese territory. The Lebanese Armed Forces should make full use of the support and assistance of UNIFIL, as required. I call on the Israel Defense Forces to refrain from responding with live fire in such situations, except where clearly required in immediate self-defence. Notwithstanding the inherent right of every country to self-defence, there is a need for the Israel Defense Forces always to apply appropriate operational measures, including crowd control measures, which are commensurate with the imminent threat towards their troops and civilians. I call on both parties to use the agreed liaison and coordination arrangements to the full extent and to work closely with UNIFIL in order to mitigate the risk of further violence.", "61. I condemn the attack on 27 May against UNIFIL personnel that injured six peacekeepers, two of them seriously, as well as two Lebanese civilians. I call on the Lebanese authorities to do their utmost to bring the perpetrators to justice. I remain concerned about the security of United Nations personnel and urge all parties to abide by their obligation to respect their safety and security.", "62. In spite of the gravity of these events, relative stability and calm prevailed in the UNIFIL area of operations during most of the reporting period. The commitment of the Governments of Israel and Lebanon to the provisions of resolution 1701 (2006) and the cessation of hostilities has remained important in this regard. There is no doubt that the arrangements put in place by the Security Council in resolution 1701 (2006) have contributed to preserve stability and contain tensions in the area. This is no small achievement. Nevertheless, absent real progress in the full implementation of the resolution, the situation along the Blue Line will remain dangerously fragile.", "63. I therefore call on both parties to make the most of the new strategic environment that UNIFIL, in cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces, has helped to establish in the area of operations to make further progress in the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006), including respect for the Blue Line in its entirety, and to take the steps necessary to reach a permanent ceasefire. Furthermore, I call upon the Government of Israel to maintain its commitment to the full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) and to take real and concrete steps towards this end. I also call upon the new Government of Lebanon, headed by Prime Minister Mikati, to state its unequivocal commitment to the full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) and to all of Lebanon’s international obligations, and to take the necessary steps in this respect.", "64. I am encouraged by the commitment of the Lebanese Armed Forces and the Israel Defense Forces to work closely with UNIFIL, including on special operational procedures in sensitive areas along the Blue Line as a means of preventing misunderstandings that could escalate tensions and lead to incidents. I hope that the close cooperation and coordination with UNIFIL, including through the tripartite forum, will further advance the building of trust and confidence between the parties.", "65. I am concerned at the continued lack of tangible progress in the process of visibly marking the Blue Line. I commend UNIFIL for its continuous efforts with both sides to overcome the impasse and urge both parties to proceed in a constructive and pragmatic manner regarding contentious points on the ground. I am encouraged by the parties’ response to the most recent UNIFIL initiative and hope that it may restore momentum in the Blue Line marking process.", "66. I am also concerned about the continuing high number of violations of resolution 1701 (2006) and of Lebanese sovereignty through almost daily overflights of Lebanese territory by the Israel Defense Forces. These overflights exacerbate tensions in the UNIFIL area of operations. They also have a negative impact on the credibility of the Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL. I call, once again, on Israel to cease immediately its overflights.", "67. I am disappointed that the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces from northern Ghajar and the adjacent area north of the Blue Line has still not been effected. In cooperation with both parties, UNIFIL has prepared security arrangements for the area around northern Ghajar that should satisfy the security needs of all sides. These would buttress the implementation of the United Nations proposal for facilitating the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces south of the Blue Line. The withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces would be an important step towards the full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006).", "68. I remain concerned that incidents that impede the freedom of movement of UNIFIL and endanger the safety and security of peacekeepers continue to occur. The freedom of movement of UNIFIL and the security and safety of its personnel are integral to the effective execution of its tasks, in accordance with resolutions 1701 (2006) and 1773 (2007). The primary responsibility for ensuring freedom of movement for UNIFIL personnel in the area of operations lies with the Lebanese authorities. In addition, I hope that the Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL will find ways to strengthen the management and investigation of incidents.", "69. UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces are strategic partners in the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) and in maintaining stability in the UNIFIL area of operations. I am encouraged by the engagement of UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces in the strategic dialogue process, but feel that the pace needs to be accelerated.", "70. The Lebanese Armed Forces have continued to act with commitment and resolve and I am particularly pleased with the role they played in preventing the recurrence of any incident on 5 June. I am grateful to those countries that provide critical support in equipping and training the Lebanese Armed Forces, including the navy. I urge the international community to increase its support to ensure that the Lebanese Armed Forces have the capacities and capabilities they require, with a view to assuming greater responsibility in the UNIFIL area of operations and in Lebanese territorial waters.", "71. The presence of armed groups outside the control of the State poses a continuous threat to Lebanon’s sovereignty and stability, and hampers the full implementation of resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1701 (2006). I call on Lebanese leaders to persevere in the domestic political process aimed at the disarmament of armed groups operating outside the control of the State. In this context, and with a new Government now in place, I encourage President Sleiman to reconvene the National Dialogue Committee as soon as possible.", "72. I am also concerned by the continued presence of the PFLP-GC and Fatah al‑Intifada military bases in Lebanon. They pose a challenge to Lebanon’s ability to manage its borders and undermine Lebanese sovereignty. I reiterate my call on the Government of Lebanon to dismantle these military bases, as agreed upon by the National Dialogue in 2006 and reiterated since, and on the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic to fully cooperate with these efforts.", "73. I call upon all Member States to prevent transfers of arms and related materiel to entities or individuals in Lebanon without the consent of the Lebanese State. I encourage the new Government of Lebanon to further the efforts of its predecessor to control its borders, including by adopting the comprehensive border management strategy which was committed to in 2010. I am grateful to Member States that are providing assistance for the improvement of Lebanon’s border management capacity and call upon the international community to support the implementation of the comprehensive border strategy once it is adopted.", "74. Efforts to delineate and demarcate the common border between Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Republic should proceed, starting with the activation of the joint Lebanese-Syrian border committee. The delineation of the border is critical to a positive relationship between the two countries. I urge the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic to cooperate with the Government of Lebanon in taking concrete and practical steps towards achieving this goal, in accordance with resolutions 1701 (2006) and 1680 (2006).", "75. I also intend to continue my efforts aimed at finding a diplomatic solution to the issue of the Shab’a Farms area, in accordance with paragraph 10 of resolution 1701 (2006). I must recognize, however, that these efforts are hampered by the unwillingness of Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic to resolve the issue at this time. I call, once again, upon these two countries to submit their responses to the provisional definition of the Shab’a Farms area that I provided in October 2007 (see S/2007/641).", "76. The situation faced by Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon continues to be a matter of concern. Two thirds of these refugees live in poverty and are affected by very high unemployment rates, high prevalence of chronic illnesses and nutritive deficiencies and poor living conditions. I call on the new Government of Lebanon to implement the amendments to the Lebanese Labour Code and Social Security Law that were adopted in August 2010, so as to effectively improve the prospects of employment of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. I also continue to be very concerned by the continued funding shortfalls faced by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), both in its regular programmes aimed at delivering basic education and health care to the Palestinian refugees and for the reconstruction of the Nahr al-Bared camp, which was destroyed four years ago. I urge donors, including countries in the region, to continue, and if possible increase, their support for UNRWA. Progress in ensuring the full realization of the human rights of Palestinian refugees is without prejudice to the resolution of the Palestinian refugee question in the context of a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace agreement.", "77. I commend the UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander and all the military and civilian personnel of UNIFIL who continue to play a critical role in helping to promote peace and stability in southern Lebanon, as well as the Special Coordinator for Lebanon and the staff of his Office.", "78. I remain keenly aware that the implementation by Israel and Lebanon of their obligations under resolution 1701 (2006) is influenced by dynamics affecting the region as a whole. In recent months, the region has been swept by a wave of popular protests and political change. Against this background, developments in the Syrian Arab Republic are likely to have a direct impact on Lebanon and, accordingly, on the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006). The Arab-Israeli conflict, of which the conflict between Israel and Lebanon is a part, is also not immune from these dramatic developments.", "79. I call on both Israel and Lebanon to take the necessary steps to achieve what, in resolution 1701 (2006), is termed a long-term solution governing their relations. The achievement of that solution cannot and should not be dissociated from the need to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East, based on all relevant resolutions of the Security Council, including resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973) and 1515 (2003). I call upon the parties and all Member States to work decisively towards this goal." ]

[ "Sixteenth report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006)", "Introduction", "1. The present report provides a comprehensive assessment of the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) since the issuance of the previous report of the Secretary-General on 28 February 2011 (S/2011/91).", "2. The security arrangements established in resolution 1701 (2006) were seriously tested by a number of incidents during the reporting period. For most of the reporting period, Lebanon was in a state of anarchy, while political unrest in the Arab world exacerbated the already volatile situation.", "On 15 May, the largest number of deaths and injuries since the adoption of the resolution occurred in the Blue Line area. On that occasion, the IDF first fired warning shots and then fired live ammunition at Palestinian demonstrators who had arrived at the Israeli technical fence in the Maroun el Ras area of southern Lebanon, killing seven civilians and wounding 111. On 27 May, for the first time in three years, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was directly attacked by terrorists, and a UNIFIL vehicle hit a bomb on the main highway north of the town of Saida and north-south, injuring six peacekeepers, two of whom were seriously wounded and two other Lebanese civilians.", "4. Despite the adverse environment, both parties have made every effort to fulfil their commitments to resolution 1701 (2006) and to ensure that the cessation of hostilities continues. However, the parties have failed to make significant progress in meeting other key obligations under resolution 1701 (2006), as detailed in the present report. The parties should make every effort to fulfil their obligations under the resolution and to respond to its call for moving from the current cessation of hostilities to a permanent ceasefire.", "The collapse of the Government of National Unity led by Saad Hariri on 12 January resulted in a de facto anarchy in Lebanon for most of the reporting period. Lebanon has long suffered from a lack of a functioning Government, a breakdown of institutions, increased divisions between the 3.8 and 3.14 camps and a deterioration of the security situation in the country. The state of anarchy has also prevented the advancement of the critical process of further progress in the implementation of Lebanon ' s obligations under resolution 1701 (2006). Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati, who began his attempt to form a new Government on 25 January and finally succeeded on 13 June, announced that the new Government would consist of 30 cabinet ministers, mainly from the 3.8 coalition.", "6. Developments in the region have also affected the internal situation in Lebanon and the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006), in particular the unrest in the Syrian Arab Republic since mid-March, which affected Lebanon in different ways, most notably in mid-May, when some 4,000 people in towns and villages near the Syrian border fled violence across the northern border into Lebanon.", "II. Implementation of resolution 1701 (2006)", "Situation in the UNIFIL area of operations", "7. The parties continued to fulfil their commitment to resolution 1701 (2006) and the cessation of hostilities was maintained. For most of the reporting period, the situation in the UNIFIL area of operations remained stable and calm, despite intermittent violations of Lebanese airspace and several ground violations of the Blue Line. On 15 May, during a Palestinian demonstration near Marunras (Sector West), a tragic event that resulted in numerous deaths and injuries occurred.", "8. UNIFIL estimates that between 8,000 and 10,000 demonstrators participated in the event, which consisted mainly of Palestinian refugees. The organizers included Palestinian and Lebanese organizations, including Hizbullah. Although most demonstrators were peacefully observing the site for the event, far from the Blue Line, some 1,000 protesters left the main rally site, crossing a minefield and approaching the Blue Line and the Israeli technical fence. The Lebanese Armed Forces used cordon and fire into the air to prevent a small group of demonstrators from reaching the first wave of the technical fence, but could not prevent the second wave. The demonstrators dug 23 anti-tank mines at the technical fence, threw stones and two incendiary bombs at the fence and attempted to climb it and push it down. IDF fired live ammunition at demonstrators at the fence after warning verbally and firing in the air. Upon the arrival of the reinforcements, the Lebanese Armed Forces Special Forces Reserve withdrew the demonstrators from the fence. The Lebanese Armed Forces initially informed UNIFIL that 11 people had died. This figure was subsequently revised to 7 and 111 were injured. In addition, the parties informed UNIFIL, respectively, that 70 Lebanese Armed Forces soldiers and four IDF soldiers had been slightly injured by stones. A UNIFIL soldier was also slightly injured by stones thrown.", "9. UNIFIL immediately initiated an investigation into the incident to determine whether the incident that occurred that day and the deployment, posture and actions of the parties involved in it were in violation of resolution 1701 (2006). Preliminary UNIFIL findings indicate that demonstrators threw stones and incendiary bombs at the Israeli technical fence and inside the Blue Line, and attempted to push down parts of the fence, engaging in provocative acts of violence that constitute a violation of resolution 1701 (2006). The Lebanese Armed Forces deployed in the region attempted to prevent demonstrators from approaching the technical fence and the Blue Line. However, troop numbers and available equipment proved insufficient to cope with the expected number of demonstrations and the anticipated risk of incidents. The Lebanese Armed Forces Special Forces immediately used truncheons, tear gas and heavy fire into the air to pull back the crowd upon being ordered to deploy. In addition to the initial warning shots, IDF did not use conventional crowd control methods or other methods, but instead used lethal weapons against demonstrators. The use of live fire by the Israel Defense Forces against demonstrators outside the Blue Line, which resulted in the loss of civilian life and a large number of injuries, constitutes a violation of resolution 1701 (2006) and is not commensurate with the threat to Israeli soldiers.", "At the tripartite meeting of 11 May, and in bilateral contacts with UNIFIL, the Israel Defense Forces warned that they would not tolerate interference with the technical fence, crossing the Blue Line or threatening their forces. Prior to the demonstrations, UNIFIL reinforced its positions in the area. UNIFIL did not deploy troops on the ground during the incident, based on an assessment by the Lebanese Armed Forces and a request to avoid close contact with demonstrators in order to prevent the situation from deteriorating. The Lebanese Armed Forces did not request assistance from UNIFIL except for helicopter patrols to monitor the situation by air. While the Israel Defense Forces called on UNIFIL to intervene on the ground when the demonstrators arrived at the technical fence, the Lebanese Armed Forces kept UNIFIL away from the demonstrators in order to avoid further friction.", "11. In preparation for a number of events to commemorate the 1967 war, which are expected to take place in early June, UNIFIL convened an extraordinary meeting of the Tripartite Forum on 2 June and held separate coordination meetings with the Lebanese Armed Forces and the Israel Defense Forces. Also on 2 June, the Lebanese Armed Forces decided to ban demonstrators from the area south of the Litani River and declared the area a closed military area. The Lebanese Armed Forces also implemented strict security measures and deployed along the fence between the villages of Kila and Al-Adeisse, particularly at the Fatima gate. UNIFIL pledged to deploy more troops on the ground, particularly in sensitive areas along the Blue Line. Following a decision by the Lebanese Armed Forces, Palestinian organizations cancelled several demonstrations along the Blue Line. On 5 June, there were two small gatherings along the Blue Line, which were quickly dispersed by the Lebanese Armed Forces.", "The Israel Defense Forces continued to occupy land in the northern part of the village of Ghajar and adjacent areas of the Blue Line, in violation of resolution 1701 (2006). Since my last report, UNIFIL has been in close contact with the parties to discuss, at the bilateral level, security arrangements in conjunction with the proposal to facilitate the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the region. Based on the discussions and comments received, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and UNIFIL are finalizing the final proposal for security arrangements for adoption by the parties.", "13. The Israel Defense Forces continued to violate Lebanese airspace on an almost daily basis, including from time to time by jet fighters. As noted in previous reports, these overflights violate the provisions of resolution 1701 (2006) and violate Lebanese sovereignty. UNIFIL continues to protest all air violations and calls upon the Israeli authorities to cease them immediately. The Government of Lebanon also continued to protest the air violations and called for their immediate cessation. The Government of Israel continues to consider overflights to be a necessary security measure, with particular examples of alleged non-implementation of the arms embargo.", "On 22 March, IDF arrested two Lebanese herdsmen near Rumaysh (Sector West), accusing them of crossing the Blue Line. Following contacts with the parties, the two men were handed over to UNIFIL by the Israel Defense Forces at the Ras Naqoura crossing the following day. UNIFIL handed them over to the Lebanese authorities. As a result of UNIFIL investigations, it was concluded that while one of the herdsmen had violated the Blue Line by approximately 10 metres, the second herd had remained north of the Blue Line, which the Israel Defense Forces had alleged to have been arrested by the IDF. During its investigations, the Israel Defense Forces noted that pastoralists frequently violated the Blue Line in the area, as detailed in my previous report (S/2011/91) on 12 January. The Blue Line markings were clearly visible in the area of the incident.", "15. UNIFIL concluded its investigation into the arrest of another shepherd by the Israel Defense Forces in the same area on 12 January. The investigation concluded that there was evidence that the herd might have violated the Blue Line. Owing to the higher number of incidents in the area, UNIFIL intensified daily foot and vehicle patrols along the Blue Line and increased the number of observation posts in the area. UNIFIL also called upon the Lebanese Armed Forces to undertake additional activities to raise awareness among local pastoralists when grazing their livestock near the Blue Line.", "Other ground violations of the Blue Line have also occurred, mostly in the carelessness of Lebanese pastoralists or farmers working in the fields, mainly in the Shab'a farms and Shouba villages. On 3 March, an IDF excavator crossed the Blue Line as he carried out maintenance work along the technical fence near Metulla, which was also apparently careless. On 14 April, an IDF tank crossed the technical fence near El Adeisse, causing alarms on the Lebanese side. UNIFIL has deployed patrols to the region, circled between the parties and subsequently strengthened its presence on the ground. There were no violations of the Blue Line, a fact acknowledged by the Lebanese Armed Forces. However, the actions of the Israel Defense Forces led to a sudden increase in tensions, which could have led to an incident in the absence of UNIFIL. In all of these cases, UNIFIL engaged with the Israel Defense Forces and Lebanese Armed Forces commanders to urge that any provocative actions along the Blue Line that might exacerbate tensions be treated with the utmost caution.", "17. On several occasions, UNIFIL observed civilians throwing stones at the Israeli technical fence in the village of Kila and around El Adeisse (Sector East). On 16 March, stones were thrown at Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL personnel on duty near the Fatima Gate near the village of Kila from the Israeli side of the technical fence at the location of the IDF position. The Israel Defense Forces informed UNIFIL that they were investigating the incident. UNIFIL continues to work with the parties to control all such violations and urges them to exercise maximum restraint and to inform UNIFIL of any violations of this nature.", "UNIFIL noted 10 incidents of weapons targeting across the Blue Line. Four incidents involved IDF soldiers pointing their weapons in the direction of UNIFIL personnel; five others involved IDF targeting Lebanese civilians or Lebanese Armed Forces personnel. The most serious incident occurred on 1 June when IDF soldiers directed a mounted heavy machine gun at soldiers at a Lebanese Army checkpoint west of Ghajar. The incident suddenly increased tensions on both sides of the Blue Line until IDF patrols left the site to return to normal. On one occasion, a Lebanese Armed Forces soldier pointed his weapon at the Israeli side of the IDF soldier. UNIFIL protested all incidents involving the targeting of weapons and, if requested and possible, arranged for its soldiers to block access between Lebanese Armed Forces and Israel Defense Forces soldiers in order to prevent such incidents from escalating. There were also a number of allegations of weapons targeting incidents, in particular in the areas of El Adeisse and Kila villages, which led UNIFIL to add observation points in the El Adeisse area.", "Despite the continued commitment of the parties to the clear marking of the Blue Line, the lack of consensus on contested points continued to delay the marking process. As a result, no progress has been made in the measurement of coordinates within existing zones and the establishment of a new marking area has proved unsuccessful. Despite this setback, the parties recently submitted to UNIFIL a list of coordinates they would like to mark, following bilateral meetings between UNIFIL and the parties. UNIFIL is reviewing these lists and will make recommendations to the parties and begin marking as soon as common points are identified.", "20. Cooperation between UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces remains the cornerstone of the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006). UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces continued their efforts to expand the scope of their coordinated activities and to further deepen their cooperation. The two forces maintained their respective facilities and continued their day-to-day operational activities, including patrols, operation at checkpoints and observation posts. For its part, UNIFIL conducted an average of 300 patrols per day, in addition to regular helicopter patrols and other operational activities. Joint operational activities between the Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL also continued, including an average of 13 counter-rocket-launching operations every 24 hours and 6 foot patrols per day, with a total of 18 checkpoints, 6 of which are on the Litani River. By mid-June, the Lebanese Armed Forces had maintained its force strength within the UNIFIL area of operations at the level of four brigades, after which the Lebanese Armed Forces had adjusted its deployment structure from four brigades to three brigades plus two battalions, while maintaining the same level of force deployment. During the reporting period, UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces conducted a number of large joint capability exercises, including heavy casualty evacuations and live artillery exercises.", "21. UNIFIL generally enjoyed freedom of movement in its area of operations, carrying out approximately 9,000 to 10,000 patrols per month. On two occasions, on 30 May and 5 June, respectively, passengers in civilian vehicles pointed their pistols at UNIFIL, and on two occasions local civilians stopped the patrol. On 21 March, two civilian vehicles stopped a UNIFIL patrol from the front and back near Hanin (Sector West). The civilians refused to move the vehicles, and the patrol left the site by way of bypass. The Lebanese Armed Forces subsequently informed UNIFIL that the drivers of both vehicles did not understand the patrol ' s requests. On 31 March, a civilian vehicle stopped a patrol of Observer Group Lebanon near Bint Jbeil. When the Lebanese Armed Forces arrived at the scene, it was explained that the Lebanese Observer Group patrol had been stopped because the latter had taken photographs. The patrol handed over the camera memory card at the request of the Lebanese Armed Forces, which was subsequently returned to the patrol. In addition, on 8 April, several people approached a UNIFIL vehicle complaining about its location near the Litani River. They kicked the car and threw stones at it. When they saw other UNIFIL patrols coming, they left the scene. On 18 April, a number of UNIFIL personnel who had asked to take photographs of IDF positions stopped but were refused. When UNIFIL also photographed the individuals, they took the UNIFIL camera and removed the memory card and returned it to UNIFIL. The Lebanese Armed Forces returned the memory card later that day. On 9 June, near Majdal Silim, a UNIFIL patrol was stopped by a vehicle carrying four civilians. They took the patrol ' s GPS, a map, a camera and several vehicle documents and fled the scene. UNIFIL strongly protested all these incidents to the Lebanese Armed Forces.", "22. Despite the incidents reported above, the attitude of the local population towards UNIFIL was generally positive. Civil affairs offices and civil-military coordination units at headquarters and sector levels continued to conduct regular liaison and outreach activities. UNIFIL participation in local festivals and other events further strengthened cooperation and coordination with civil society organizations and received positive feedback from the local population. Quick-impact projects continue to be implemented through troop-contributing countries and through the UNIFIL budget.", "UNIFIL continued to provide assistance to the Lebanese Armed Forces in taking measures towards the establishment between the Blue Line and the Litani River of an area free of any armed personnel, assets and weapons other than those deployed by the Government of Lebanon and UNIFIL, in accordance with resolution 1701 (2006). On 23 May, the Lebanese Armed Forces informed UNIFIL that it had intercepted and arrested a person in the vicinity of Hasbaya, outside Sector East of the UNIFIL area of operations, who had attempted to smuggle an unfrozen rocket into the UNIFIL area of operations.", "24. During the reporting period, UNIFIL also encountered persons carrying hunting weapons in the area of operations. On two occasions, during a return ceremony and a funeral, several persons were found carrying AK-47s or similar types of weapons and firing in the air. The presence of weapons in the area south of the Litani River, in addition to those of the Government of Lebanon and UNIFIL, is a violation of resolution 1701 (2006). The Lebanese Armed Forces, together with UNIFIL, prohibited all hunting activities. Through this preventive action, the Lebanese Armed Forces detained several persons and confiscated their weapons. In addition, armed personnel and weapons were found in Palestinian refugee camps in the area of operations.", "25. During the reporting period, UNIFIL found no weapons caches, military materiel or infrastructure. UNIFIL conducted regular inspections of the former facilities of armed elements previously identified in the area of operations, including bunkers and caves, but found no signs of being reactivated and no evidence of the construction of new military installations in the area of operations. On 18 March, the Lebanese Armed Forces issued a statement stating that on 17 March 2011, a special unit of the Lebanese Armed Forces had dismantled an Israeli surveillance and video system that had been installed in the Shama area near Tyre and disguised as a rock. On 21 March, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the caretaker Government of Lebanon protested the incident in identical letters to the Secretary-General and the President of the Council (A/65/805-S/2011/174) as a violation of Lebanese sovereignty and resolution 1701 (2006). No information was provided to UNIFIL prior to or after the incident, despite repeated requests by UNIFIL to the Force The armed forces and the Israel Defense Forces provided UNIFIL with all relevant information necessary to establish the facts.", "26. The Government of Israel maintains that Hizbullah continues to enhance its military presence and capabilities, including in the UNIFIL area of operations. The Government of Israel has also accused Hizbullah of maintaining military positions and forces in densely populated areas in southern Lebanon and transporting unauthorized weapons into Lebanon, including into the UNIFIL area of operations.", "27. Upon receipt of clear information, UNIFIL, in cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces, immediately investigates all allegations of the illegal presence of armed personnel or weapons in its area of operations. UNIFIL has always been determined to use all means within its mandate to act to the maximum extent possible under the rules of engagement. Under its mandate, UNIFIL cannot search private homes and property unless there is credible evidence of violations of resolution 1701 (2006), including hostile action originating from that specific location, which constitutes an imminent threat. To date, UNIFIL has not received or found evidence of unauthorized arms shipments into its area of operations. The Lebanese Armed Forces command reconfirmed that, as soon as evidence of unauthorized armed personnel or weapons were received in the area, immediate action would be taken to put an end to any activities that violated resolution 1701 (2006) and the relevant decisions of the Government, in particular illegal activities that violated the decision on the presence of armed personnel and weapons in the Litani River and South African law.", "28. The UNIFIL Maritime Task Force continued to fulfil its dual mandate of conducting maritime interdiction operations and training the Lebanese navy in the area of maritime operations. Since the inception of the Maritime Task Force in October 2006, 38,107 ships have been signaled and questioned; the Lebanese navy has inspected 1,078 suspicious merchant vessels, 213 of which have been inspected since my last report. The vessels were inspected by Lebanese naval and customs officials to ascertain that they did not contain unauthorized arms or related materiel; they were all inspected. During the reporting period, the Maritime Task Force conducted 71 workshops and 184 maritime training phases. Lebanese naval personnel continue to improve their operational capabilities through ongoing training in the command of maritime interdiction operations. However, certain restrictions are imposed because of the lack of enough vessels to withstand adverse weather conditions.", "29. Incidents continued along the line of buoys, with IDF dropping deep water bombs or firing flares along the line of buoys and firing warning shots. UNIFIL had no mandate to monitor the line of buoys, which had been set unilaterally by the Government of Israel and had not been recognized by the Government of Lebanon. On 7 March, in a tripartite forum, the Government of Lebanon requested UNIFIL to establish a maritime security line between Lebanon and Israel. The parties agreed that UNIFIL would engage in exploratory bilateral discussions with the parties on general maritime security issues, and the Force Commander had written to the parties in this regard.", "B. Security and liaison arrangements", "30. The tripartite meeting, chaired by the UNIFIL Force Commander and attended by senior representatives of the Lebanese Armed Forces and the Israel Defense Forces, remains essential for regular liaison and coordination between UNIFIL and the parties and remains a key mechanism for discussing security and military operational issues related to the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006). The tripartite meetings also discussed the investigation of incidents and violations of the resolution as a means of preventing the recurrence of such incidents in the future, with a view to enhancing stability in the area around the Blue Line. Both sides expressed their commitment to this forum. However, the continued impasse over the demarcation of the Blue Line and Israel's decision not to re-establish humanitarian arrangements to deny farmers in the Blida area access to olive fields south of the Blue Line could have an impact on the overall level of confidence between the parties. On 2 June, the Forum held an extraordinary meeting to discuss the preliminary investigation report of UNIFIL into the events of 15 May. Both sides expressed their commitment to preventing the recurrence of such tragic incidents. Although no formal agreement has been reached on the operational procedures in the sensitive areas along the Blue Line, a practical modus operandi has been developed between the parties, and the increased deployment of UNIFIL in the Kafr Kila and El-Adeisse areas has helped to reduce the number of incidents in those areas. On the basis of that positive impact, UNIFIL reviewed the arrangements and presented to the parties the specific operational procedures applicable to the two areas in the coming months. UNIFIL engaged the parties to extend these procedures to other areas where incidents have been reported in recent months.", "31. Since my last report, UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces have held three strategic dialogue meetings, with two delegations discussing the terms of reference and rules of procedure.", "32. UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces continued their regular interaction at the operational and tactical levels through regular interaction at the Lebanese Armed Forces headquarters and through daily liaison activities. It also includes the placement of Lebanese Armed Forces liaison officers at UNIFIL headquarters and sector level, and the permanent presence of a UNIFIL liaison officer at the Lebanese Armed Forces South Litani sector headquarters in Tyre.", "33. UNIFIL continued to maintain effective liaison and coordination with the Israel Defense Forces, including regular interaction between the Force Commander and his Israel Defense Forces counterparts. UNIFIL continued to install two liaison officers at the Israel Defense Forces Northern Command headquarters in Zefat. No progress has been made in establishing a UNIFIL office in Tel Aviv.", "C. Disarming armed groups", "34. Hizbullah and other armed groups outside the control of the State, in violation of resolutions 1559 (2004), 1680 (2006) and 1701 (2006), continue to pose a serious threat to Lebanon ' s ability to fully exercise its sovereignty over its territory.", "35. Hizbullah continues to acknowledge that it maintains a large military arsenal outside the Lebanese national military arsenal for the defence of Israel. During the reporting period, the Secretary-General of Hizbullah, Hassan Nasrallah, stated in several public statements that Hizbullah would continue to train, exercise and arm itself to protect Lebanon and its natural resources from what he termed “potential Israeli attacks”.", "36. On 13 March, the 3.14 Alliance organized a major political rally in Lebanon to commemorate its sixth anniversary. The political debate at the meeting highlighted the issue of Hizbullah's weapons. All speakers condemned the continued existence and use of weapons outside State control and the use of weapons as a political tool on the domestic stage.", "37. During the reporting period, no progress was made in dismantling the military bases maintained by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) and Fatah al-Intifada. These military bases are outside the control of the Lebanese State, most of them crossing the border between Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Republic. As in my previous report, I once again call on the Lebanese authorities to dismantle the PFLP-GC and Fatah al-Intifada military bases and on the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic to cooperate in this endeavour.", "38. During the reporting period, no major security incidents were recorded in 12 Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. The Lebanese authorities continue to point to good cooperation between the Lebanese Armed Forces and Palestinian security officials in the refugee camps. They also stressed that the reconciliation agreement reached between the Palestinian parties on 27 April under the auspices of the Government of Egypt had had a positive impact on the security conditions in the camps.", "39. The incident of 23 March highlighted the presence of armed groups outside Lebanese State control, when seven Estonian tourists were abducted in the Bekaa region. At the time of writing, their whereabouts remained unknown. The Lebanese security agencies, in cooperation with the Estonian authorities, continued their efforts to secure their release. I call for their immediate release.", "40. I remain convinced that armed groups should be disarmed through a domestic political process, so that there is no weapons or authority other than that of the Lebanese State. In May 2008, Lebanese leaders personally committed themselves to this process and decided to convene the National Dialogue Committee to agree on a national defence strategy that would take into account the issue of weapons outside State control. The National Dialogue Committee has not met since 4 November 2010.", "Arms embargo", "41. In its resolution 1701 (2006), the Security Council decided that States should prevent the sale or supply of arms and related materiel of all types to entities or individuals in Lebanon by their nationals or from their territories or using their flag vessels or aircraft. The Government of Lebanon has not reported any violations of the arms embargo imposed by resolution 1701 (2006). For its part, the Government of Israel claims that Hizbullah continues to expand its arsenal. While the United Nations takes these allegations seriously, it does not have the capacity to independently verify this information.", "42. By its resolution 1701 (2006), the Council also called upon the Government of Lebanon to secure its borders and other crossing points in order to prevent the entry into Lebanon without its consent of arms and related materiel. The Lebanese authorities informed my Special Coordinator for Lebanon that the deployment of security personnel to manage the border remained unchanged, except for the deployment of two additional companies of the Lebanese Armed Forces, as described in paragraph 43 below.", "43. The northern border with the Syrian Arab Republic continues to be managed by the Common Border Force, which includes some 700 staff members from four Lebanese security agencies (Armed Forces, Internal Security, General Security and Customs). In the first half of May, the situation in Syrian towns close to the border with Lebanon led to an estimated 4,000 people crossing the northern border of Lebanon into Lebanon. To this end, the Lebanese Armed Forces deployed two additional companies of approximately 220 troops to support the Common Border Force. By early June, many displaced persons had returned to the Syrian Arab Republic. The United Nations is working closely with the Government of Lebanon to assist those displaced persons and to address the protection and determination of their nationality. President Sleiman assured my Special Coordinator that Lebanon would abide by its international obligations in this regard.", "44. On the eastern border, the Lebanese Army continued to deploy some 600 troops and some 200 internal security forces along an 80-kilometre-long to Arsal sector, which is close to the area of operations of the current Common Border Force. The Lebanese Armed Forces plan to deploy a third border regiment, which will operate between the village of Arsal and the main crossing point at Masnaa.", "45. At a meeting chaired by my Special Coordinator on 14 April 2011, the Ambassadors of donor countries continued to discuss assistance to Lebanon to improve its border management capacity. The ambassadors noted that it was difficult to mobilize additional resources in the absence of a comprehensive national strategy for border management and reiterated the need to adopt such a national strategy. Donor countries agreed to continue to share information and coordinate the implementation of existing projects in support of Lebanese border management. However, the absence of a Government in Lebanon hampered progress towards the adoption of a comprehensive national strategy for border management, based on the draft strategy developed by the National Coordinator in 2010.", "46. The effective management of the border between Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Republic continues to be adversely affected by the fact that the border remains undemarcated and demarcated and that the PFLP-GC and Fatah al-Intifada military bases remain between the two countries.", "E. Landmines and cluster bombs", "47. The Lebanese Mine Action Centre is a unit of the Lebanese Armed Forces and the national demining authority with full responsibility for the management of all humanitarian demining operations. The United Nations Mine Action Coordination Centre continued to provide support to UNIFIL and the Lebanese Mine Action Centre for mine/UXO clearance activities. During the reporting period, eight additional cluster bomb strike sites were recorded, bringing the total to 1,135.", "48. Since the commencement of demining operations in August 2006, the total number of mine clearance casualties has reached 63, of which 14 were killed and 49 injured; in the case of incidents involving civilian casualties, an anti-tank mine incident occurred in Snaya (Jezzine) on 31 March, resulting in one injury. Another incident, involving cluster bombs, resulted in the death of one civilian in RAS El Ein and Deir Qanun. These two incidents brought the number of civilian casualties to 292, 29 dead and 263 injured.", "49. Lebanon was preparing for the Second Meeting of States Parties to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, to be held in September 2011. The conference is expected to attract approximately 1,000 delegates, including representatives of States parties to the Convention, international organizations and civil society organizations.", "F. Delineation of borders", "50. In paragraph 4 of its resolution 1680 (2006), the Security Council strongly encouraged the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic to respond positively to the request made by the Government of Lebanon to delineate the border between the two countries, particularly in areas where the border was uncertain or disputed. That would be a significant step towards improving border management and safeguarding Lebanon's sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence. The Security Council reiterated that call in its resolution 1701 (2006).", "51. During the reporting period, no progress was made towards the delineation and demarcation of the border between Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Republic, despite the commitments made by President Assad and President Sleiman at several summits since August 2008. The joint Lebanese-Syrian border committee responsible for these matters has not yet met. To date, only Lebanon has nominated its candidate for the Commission.", "52. No progress has been made on the issue of the Shab ' a Farms area. Despite my repeated requests, neither the Syrian Arab Republic nor Israel responded to the provisional definition of the area contained in my report of 30 October 2007 on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) (S/2007/641).", "III. Security and safety of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon", "53. On 27 May, UNIFIL suffered a direct terrorist attack on a UNIFIL logistics convoy travelling through the main coastal road from Beirut north of the town of Sidon to southern Lebanon, which is the Force ' s main supply route, with a remote-controlled roadside bomb attack. The attack resulted in the injury of six Italian peacekeepers, two of them seriously and four slightly to moderately, in addition to two Lebanese civilians. The explosion occurred near the site of an attack on a UNIFIL vehicle in January 2008 (see S/2008/135). The Lebanese authorities and UNIFIL immediately opened an investigation into the incident. This is the fourth attack on UNIFIL since the adoption of resolution 1701 (2006), the first in more than three years. As in previous events, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. All senior members of the Lebanese authorities and political leaders of all political parties condemned the attack. The Italian authorities also initiated an investigation into the attack.", "54. The safety and security of UNIFIL personnel remains a high priority. Notwithstanding the obligations of the parties to ensure the safety and security of UNIFIL and the responsibility of the Government of Lebanon to maintain law and order, UNIFIL continued to apply risk mitigation measures, including security awareness training for staff and protection works for facilities and assets. Mission security plans and risk-mitigation measures are reviewed on a regular basis and the Mission conducted evacuation preparation exercises for civilian personnel. UNIFIL, the Lebanese authorities and the Lebanese Armed Forces cooperate regularly to ensure that security threats are properly addressed.", "55. UNIFIL continued to follow the proceedings before the Lebanese Military Tribunal against individuals accused of organizing attacks on UNIFIL by armed groups. On 7 March, the Tribunal delivered nine judgements, one in absentia, with sentences ranging from 18 months to five years, owing to the possession of explosives and the planning and execution of terrorist attacks against the Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL. In another case, court proceedings continued, with a total of 10 persons accused of possession of weapons and explosives and planning to attack UNIFIL. The hearings scheduled for 23 May were postponed until late July.", "Deployment of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon", "56. As at 15 June, the total strength of UNIFIL stood at 11,925 troops, including 574 women. The Mission has 353 international and 657 national civilian staff, including 103 and 169 women, respectively. UNIFIL was also supported by 52 United Nations Truce Supervision Organization Observer Group Lebanon military observers, including 5 women.", "57. The recommendations of the joint Department of Peacekeeping Operations-UNIFIL technical review, including the recommended adjustments to the force structure, assets and resource requirements, are currently being implemented. On 1 March, the Force Commander ' s Reserve was established through the consolidation of the French battalion and the Rapid Reaction Force. The adjacent area of responsibility was reclassified to include the former French battalion. On 30 May, the advance party of the incoming Irish battalion arrived, while the main component was scheduled to be deployed in late June.", "Observations", "58. I am concerned that the stagnation in the full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) impedes the efforts of the parties to achieve a permanent ceasefire and a long-term solution, as called for in the resolution. I am particularly disturbed by two dangerous incidents, one on 15 May, which tested the security arrangements established by resolution 1701 (2006), and the second, the direct attack on UNIFIL by unidentified assailants. In fact, these developments take place in a tense regional context, which complicates their seriousness.", "59. I am concerned about the incident that occurred on 15 May near Maroun Ar-Ras, during which IDF directly used live ammunition against unarmed demonstrators trying to break the technical fence. At the same time, organizers were responsible for ensuring that demonstrators did not approach the technical fence and did not turn demonstrations into violence. I regret the loss of life.", "60. The Lebanese Armed Forces and the Israel Defense Forces have the primary responsibility for preventing and correcting any violations of resolution 1701 (2006). I call on the Government of Lebanon and the Lebanese Armed Forces to enforce law and order in the area in order to prevent any incidents from the Blue Line on the Lebanese territory. The Lebanese Armed Forces should take full advantage of the support and assistance provided by UNIFIL, as requested. I call on the Israel Defense Forces to exercise restraint and, in such cases, not to fire live ammunition back unless there is an immediate need for self-defence. While every State has an inherent right to self-defence, the Israel Defense Forces must always take appropriate operational measures, including crowd control measures, which are commensurate with the imminent threat to its troops and civilians. I call on the parties to make full use of agreed liaison and coordination arrangements and to work closely with UNIFIL to mitigate the risk of further violence.", "61. I condemn the 27 May attack on UNIFIL personnel, which resulted in the injury of six peacekeepers, two of whom were seriously wounded and two Lebanese civilians. I call on the Lebanese authorities to do their utmost to bring the perpetrators to justice. I remain concerned about the safety and security of United Nations personnel and urge all parties to comply with their obligations and respect their safety and security.", "62. Despite the seriousness of these incidents, the UNIFIL area of operations remained relatively stable and calm for most of the reporting period. The Governments of Israel and Lebanon are committed to the provisions of resolution 1701 (2006), and the cessation of hostilities has been important in this regard. There is no doubt that the arrangements established by Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) have contributed to the maintenance of stability and the containment of tensions in the region. This is no small achievement. However, without real progress towards the full implementation of the resolution, the situation along the Blue Line will remain precarious and fragile.", "I therefore call on the parties to make maximum use of UNIFIL, in cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces, to help create a new strategic environment in the area of operations that will lead to further progress in the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006), including respect for the integrity of the Blue Line as a whole, and to take the necessary steps to reach a permanent ceasefire. Furthermore, I call upon the Government of Israel to maintain its commitment to the full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) and to take practical and concrete steps to that end. I also call on the new Government of Lebanon, headed by Prime Minister Migati, to make a clear commitment to the full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) and all its international obligations and to take the necessary steps in this regard.", "I am encouraged by the commitment of the Lebanese Armed Forces and the Israel Defense Forces to work closely with UNIFIL, including on special operating procedures in sensitive areas along the Blue Line, as a means of preventing misunderstandings that could exacerbate tensions and lead to incidents. I hope that close cooperation and coordination with UNIFIL, including through the tripartite forum, will further advance the building of trust and confidence between the parties.", "I am concerned about the lack of tangible progress in the process of visibly marking the Blue Line. I commend UNIFIL for its ongoing efforts with the parties to break the deadlock and urge them to act in a constructive and pragmatic manner in disputed locations on the ground. I am encouraged by the parties' responses to the latest UNIFIL initiative and hope that it will restore momentum to the Blue Line marking process.", "66. I am also concerned that the almost daily overflights of Lebanese territory by the Israel Defense Forces continue to result in numerous violations of resolution 1701 (2006) and violations of Lebanese sovereignty. These overflights increased tensions in the UNIFIL area of operations. These overflights have a negative impact on the credibility of the Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL. I reiterate my call on Israel to immediately cease its overflights.", "I am disappointed that the Israel Defense Forces have still not withdrawn from northern Ghajar and adjacent areas north of the Blue Line. UNIFIL, in cooperation with the parties, has prepared security arrangements in the area around northern Ghajar that should meet the security needs of the parties. These arrangements will support the implementation of the United Nations proposal to facilitate the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces south of the Blue Line. The withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces is an important step towards the full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006).", "68. I remain concerned about continued incidents that impede the freedom of movement of UNIFIL and endanger the safety and security of peacekeepers. In accordance with resolutions 1701 (2006) and 1773 (2007), the freedom of movement of UNIFIL and the safety and security of its staff are essential for the effective implementation of its mandate. The primary responsibility for ensuring the freedom of movement of UNIFIL personnel in the area of operations rests with the Lebanese authorities. In addition, I hope that the Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL will find ways to strengthen incident management and investigation.", "69. UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces are strategic partners in the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) and the stabilization of the UNIFIL area of operations. While I am encouraged by the engagement of UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces in the strategic dialogue process, I believe that the pace needs to be accelerated.", "70. The Lebanese Armed Forces continue to act with commitment and determination, and I am particularly pleased with its role in preventing any recurrence of events similar to the one of 5 June. I am grateful to those countries that have provided crucial support in equipping and training the Lebanese navy, including Lebanon. I urge the international community to increase its support to ensure that the Lebanese Armed Forces have the required capacity to assume greater responsibility in the UNIFIL area of operations and Lebanese territorial waters.", "71. The presence of armed groups beyond State control continues to threaten the sovereignty and stability of Lebanon and impede the full implementation of resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1701 (2006). I call upon Lebanese leaders to adhere to the domestic political process and to disarm armed groups operating outside State control. In this context, and given the new Government in place, I encourage President Sleiman to reconvene the National Dialogue Committee as soon as possible.", "I am also concerned about the continued presence of PFLP-GC and Fatah al-Intifada military bases in Lebanon. These bases challenge Lebanon ' s ability to manage its borders and undermine Lebanese sovereignty. I reiterate my call to the Government of Lebanon to dismantle these military bases, in accordance with the agreement reached at the national dialogue in 2006 and reiterated many times since, and to the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic to cooperate fully with these efforts.", "73. I call upon all Member States to prevent the transfer of arms and related materiel to entities or individuals in Lebanon without the consent of the Lebanese State. I encourage the new Government of Lebanon to build on the efforts of its predecessor to control the border, including through the integrated border management strategy, which was committed in 2010. I am grateful to those Member States that are providing assistance to improve Lebanon ' s border management capacity and call upon the international community to support the implementation of the comprehensive Lebanon border strategy once it is adopted.", "74. Efforts to delineate and demarcate the common border between Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Republic should continue, starting with the launching of the Joint Lebanese-Syrian Border Commission. Border demarcation is important for a positive relationship between the two countries. I urge the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic, in cooperation with the Government of Lebanon, to take concrete and practical steps to achieve this goal, in accordance with resolutions 1701 (2006) and 1680 (2005).", "75. I also intend to continue my efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the issue of the Shab ' a Farms area, in accordance with paragraph 10 of resolution 1701 (2006). However, I must admit that these efforts have been hampered by the unwillingness of Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic to address this issue at this time. I reiterate my appeal to both countries to submit their responses to the provisional definition of the Shab ' a Farms area provided by me in October 2007 (see S/2007/641).", "76. The situation of Palestine refugees living in Lebanon remained a matter of concern. Two thirds of these refugees live in poverty and are affected by very high unemployment rates, high incidence of chronic diseases, undernutrition and poor living conditions. I call on the new Lebanese Government to implement the amendments to the Lebanese Labour Code and the Social Security Code adopted in August 2010 in order to effectively improve the employment prospects of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. I also continue to be very concerned about the continuing funding shortfall of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), as well as the lack of funding for regular programmes to provide basic education and health care to Palestine refugees and for the reconstruction of the Nahr el-Bared camp, which was destroyed four years ago. I urge donors, including countries in the region, to continue to provide support and, if possible, to increase their support to UNRWA. The progress made in ensuring the full realization of human rights by the Palestine refugees would not affect the resolution of the Palestinian refugee problem in the context of the comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace agreement.", "77. I commend the UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander and all the military and civilian personnel of UNIFIL, who continue to play a key role in helping to promote peace and stability in southern Lebanon, as well as the Special Coordinator for Lebanon and the staff of his Office.", "78. I am keenly aware that the changes affecting the region as a whole have had a significant impact on the fulfilment by Israel and Lebanon of their obligations under resolution 1701 (2006). In recent months, a wave of popular protest and political change has swept the region. Against this background, developments in the Syrian Arab Republic are likely to have a direct impact on Lebanon and thus on the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006). The Arab-Israeli conflict, of which the conflict between Israel and Lebanon is an integral part, cannot be immune from these dramatic developments.", "79. I call on Israel and Lebanon to take the necessary steps to reach a long-term solution that regulates their relations, as called for in Security Council resolution 1701 (2006). Achieving that solution cannot and should not be divorced from the need to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East on the basis of the relevant Security Council resolutions, including resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973) and 1515 (2003). I call on all parties and all Member States to make determined efforts to achieve that goal." ]

各代表团重申，海洋生物多样性是海洋和陆地生命的重要组成部分。会上强调海洋生物多样性对环境的重要意义及其对科学发展、增进健康和促进粮食安全的贡献。许多代表团着重指出，海洋生物多样性的养护及其可持续利用与可持续发展直接相关，因此具有社会和经济意义。一些代表团指出，在国家管辖范围以内和以外区域，对海洋生物多样性的人为威胁继续增加，包括因气候变化、底拖网捕捞法、海洋噪音和割鳍弃鲨等造成的威胁。一些非政府组织注意到没有实现2010年大幅降低生物多样性丧失率的目标，强调第三版《全球生物多样性展望》的结论：一些生态系统处于紧急关头，除非采取强力的行动，否则许多生态系统不会再满足今世后代的需要。", "9. 会上强调大会在国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的养护和可持续利用方面发挥的核心作用。在此方面，一些代表团强调指出，工作组是唯一以鼓励所有利益攸关者进行公开讨论的方式处理国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性各方面问题的论坛。有人表示，工作组的授权限于国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物资源的养护和可持续利用。", "10. 《联合国海洋法公约》是养护和可持续利用国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的公认法律框架。一些代表团指出，《公约》及其各项执行协议得到其他法律文书的补充，包括《生物多样性公约》、可持续发展问题世界首脑会议通过的《约翰内斯堡执行计划》、《关于进一步执行小岛屿发展中国家可持续发展行动纲领的毛里求斯战略》以及联合国粮食及农业组织通过的《公海深海渔业管理国际准则》。一些代表团还承认，国际海底管理局在海洋科学研究和保护海洋环境方面的责任非常重要。", "11. 一些代表团对生物多样性公约缔约方会议第十次会议通过《生物多样性公约遗传资源获取以及利用遗传资源所产生惠益公平公正分享问题名古屋议定书》和新的《2011年-2020年生物多样性战略计划》表示满意。", "小组发言", "12. 在审议实质性议程项目之前，工作组听取了4名小组成员的发言，随后是简短的问答。发言情况如下：国际海底管理局秘书长Nii Odunton的发言，涉及养护和可持续利用区域内海洋生物多样性的国际合作和协调；世界知识产权组织纽约协调处代理处长Rama Rao Sankurathripati的发言，涉及国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的知识产权问题；《生物多样性公约》秘书处高级法律顾问Lyle Glowka的发言，涉及《生物多样性公约关于获取遗传资源和公平和公正分享其利用所产生惠益的名古屋议定书》；国际自然保护联盟海洋治理和国际机构问题顾问Harlan Cohen的发言，涉及环境影响评估和海洋保护区。", "审查国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的养护和可持续利用的科学、技术、经济、法律、环境、社会经济和其他方面，包括联合国和其他相关国际组织的活动，特别是依照《联合国海洋法公约》，进一步审议国家管辖范围以外区域海洋遗传资源的相关法律制度，同时考虑到各国关于《公约》第七部分和第十一部分的观点；海洋保护区问题；环境影响评估进程", "13. 一些代表团认为养护、可持续利用(包括分享可持续利用所产生的惠益)、能力建设和海洋技术转让是国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性专门法律制度的组成部分。这些代表团还强调指出，应根据具体情况审查所有养护工具，并对在没有相关法律制度定义的情况下采取实际或短期措施表示关切。", "14. 一些代表团强调指出，应采取海洋综合管理和生态系统办法管理与国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性有关的活动。这此方面，一些代表团提请注意区域环境组织及区域渔业管理组织和(或)安排在海洋综合管理方面发挥的作用。一些代表团认为，一系列责任不同、授权受区或地区限制的不同机构和论坛致力于国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的保护。这些代表团呼吁采取协调的跨部门办法，考虑到国家管辖范围以外区域人类活动的累积影响。", "国家管辖范围以外区域海洋遗传资源", "15. 各代表团回顾，《联合国海洋法公约》为大洋和海洋上的所有活动，包括国家管辖范围以外区域海洋遗传资源提供了法律框架。一些代表团强调指出，区域内遗传资源是人类共同继承财产，不受管制地获取并仅由少数人开发这些资源在全球造成严重的经济和社会影响。一些代表团注意到分别适用公海和“区域”的二个不同制度。他们还指出，根据大会第2749(XXV)号决议和它们认为是习惯国际法一部分的《公约》第十一部分，“区域”及其资源是人类共同继承财产。这些代表团强调指出，人类共同继承财产，包括公正和公平分享惠益，适用“区域”的生物资源。在此方面，他们承认国际海底管理局在海洋科学研究和保护海洋环境方面的责任非常重要。", "16. 其他代表团指出，人类共同继承财产原则仅适用于“区域”矿产资源。他们认为，“区域”生物资源由《公约》第七部分中的公海制度规范。", "17. 一些代表团回顾，国际社会的总体目标应当是国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的养护与可持续利用。他们强调指出，目前在公海上实行的“先到先得”办法具有反作用，破坏可持续性。有人表示，人类共同继承财产与养护和维护海洋环境相关。在此方面，人类共同继承财产不仅涉及惠益分享，而且同样涉及养护和维护。因此，提议一揽子处理所有问题，包括维护和养护海洋生物多样性措施，如海洋保护区和管理海底海洋遗传资源等，包括与分享惠益有关的问题。", "18. 有人注意到，对于适用公海海洋遗传资源的制度讨论不多。有人称，如果就适用公海海洋遗传资源的公海制度达成协议，则可就其养护和可持续利用的相关法律制度找到共同点。", "19. 一些代表团注意到，没有授权一个国际机构对获取国家管辖范围以外区域海洋遗传资源进行规范。在此方面，应探讨多种办法制订规范框架。会上强调指出，工作组是讨论有关国家管辖范围以外区域海洋遗传资源问题的适当论坛，应在《公约》框架内并依照《公约》进行此类讨论。联合国海洋和海洋法问题不限成员名额非正式协商进程第八次会议期间着重讨论了海洋遗传资源，会上回顾这些讨论是共同了解该问题的良好基础，但须审查和更新相关信息。", "20. 一些代表团表示，支持审议分享由利用海洋遗传资源而产生的惠益问题，强调指出不同的货币和非货币性质机制可用于此目的。在此方面，确定《名古屋议定书》附件中所列货币和非货币惠益清单可作为讨论基础。此外，一些代表团提请注意国家管辖范围以外区域海洋遗传资源的知识产权问题，建议工作组讨论该问题，特别是在“区域”生物多样性方面。", "21. 有人对分享由利用国家管辖范围以外区域海洋遗传资源而产生的惠益可能会促进海洋生物多样性的养护或可持续利用的说法有所保留。在此方面，有人指出此种制度将妨碍研究与发展。还有人表示应分享惠益，以便能够充分激励开发和发展。", "22. 欢迎努力制订和颁布研究活动行为守则，如海脊间行为守则等。此外，强调指出这些活动应与生物多样性的养护和可持续利用一致，还应在环境保护、科学研究自由和分享利用海洋遗传资源而产生的惠益之间保持平衡。", "海洋保护区", "23. 一些代表团指出，包括海洋保护区内的划区管理工具在以下方面起重要作用：海洋生物多样性的养护和可持续利用；确保包括国家管辖范围以外区域的海洋生态系统的适应能力。会上强调指出，这些工具是一系列备选管理办法的一部分，在以审慎和生态系统方法管理人类活动方面非常重要。一些代表团回顾，2012年是联合国环境与发展会议二十周年，也是可持续发展问题世界首脑会议十周年，这一年对生物多样性而言很重要。他们强调指出，应表明朝着实现《约翰内斯堡执行计划》中关于建立海洋保护区的承诺取得进展，包括具有代表性的网络。此外，还确定实现这些承诺是《联合国海洋法公约》第197条能够得到执行的途径之一。", "24. 会上还强调在制订国家管辖范围以外区域海洋保护区框架方面大会的核心作用和工作组的责任。在此方面，还指出依照《生物多样性公约》开展多边合作的好处。一些代表团着重指出，应确定建立国家管辖范围以外区域海洋保护区的法律基础。有人指出，应根据国际法，包括《联合国海洋法公约》，建立海洋保护区。", "25. 有人表示，应根据科学证据建立海洋保护区，不应损害各国合理使用自然资源的权利。会上强调，应增加科学知识，并着重指出，应综合科学建议，向适当的区域和部门管理机构汇报情况，同时考虑到跨部门影响和累积影响。这种综合办法本质上需要采取空间视角。", "26. 一些代表团强调指出，不应以统一或“一刀切”的办法建立海洋保护区。此外，一些代表团着重指出，应针对具体情况，继续由区域管理机构选定最适当的划区管理工具，包括海洋保护区。", "27. 会上强调，在建立公海海洋保护区方面，应与有关部门和利益攸关方协商并请他们参加。", "28. 一些代表团指出，在从科学上阐述具有生态或生物重要意义的区域和脆弱海洋生态系统之后，应查明并选定保护区，并相应制订管理措施。会上强调，在阐述具有生态或生物重要意义区域的科学进程与实际确定/指定保护区之间存在差距，因为目前没有全球论坛获得正式授权，而且现有区域和部门论坛面临这样做的合法性问题。", "29. 一些代表团强调指出，根据《保护东北大西洋海洋环境公约》建立国家管辖范围以外海洋保护区是成功范例，建议进一步研究和审议区域合作的价值及将汲取的经验教训，以期在实践中学习。还有人建议，应系统分析建立和管理公海海洋保护区的模式及其他划区工具，从而能够决定是否可在现行机制下建立海洋保护区网络。在此方面，进一步建议指定和落实试验地点，将此作为确定现有工具可行性和效力的途径。", "环境影响评估流程", "30. 一些代表团强调环境影响评估对于在国家管辖范围以外区域开展活动的重要性，并注意到环境影响评估与养护和可持续利用海洋遗传资源和海洋保护区之间的固有联系。这些代表团认为，在国家管辖范围以外区域环境影响评估方面存在治理差距，指出《联合国海洋法公约》第206条和源自《生物多样性公约》的规定以及国际海底管理局条例和国际海洋法法庭海底争端分庭就赞助个人和实体在“区域”内开展活动国家的责任和义务发表的咨询意见提供了唯一总体框架。", "31. 会上提议制订和执行多个流程，以评估可能对海洋和海洋生态系统造成严重污染或重大和有害变化的活动的潜在环境影响，这些活动包括捕鱼、海洋倾倒、航运和采矿等。", "32. 会上指出，必须了解重叠的人为活动对国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的累积影响。此外，强调应承认部门活动的重要作用，还应促进开展跨部门综合合作，特别是在区域一级，并提供综合科学建议。", "33. 回顾工作组曾于2010年举行会议，会上建议大会承认必须进一步拟订关于对计划在国家管辖范围以外区域开展的活动进行环境影响评估的科学和技术指南，包括考虑评估累积影响。有人指出，在制定此类指南过程中，应充分考虑到各国进行评估的能力，以及其他国际组织在这一领域进行的工作，以避免义务和责任的重叠。一些代表团确认联合国粮食及农业组织、联合国教育、科学及文化组织政府间海洋学委员会、联合国环境规划署、《生物多样性公约》以及其他组织和文书在环境影响评估方面的作用。", "34. 有人表示，联合国应在环境影响评估方面发挥更强有力的作用，这可包括制订原则，协助进行公海环境影响评估。会上还回顾关于对海洋环境包括社会经济方面的状况作出全球报告和评估的经常程序在开发运作正常的海洋问题科学政策平台方面的作用。", "35. 有人建议交流最佳做法并进行能力建设，以进行环境影响评估。此外，还鼓励将各项环境影响评估要求纳入区域协定，如在《关于环境保护的南极条约议定书》中的做法。", "能力建设和海洋技术转让", "36. 一些代表团呼吁加强能力建设和海洋技术转让，以促进发展中国家参加“区域”科学研究，为养护和可持续利用海洋生物多样性作出贡献。他们指出，正是在这一领域，《联合国海洋法公约》的执行最为不力。在此方面，对国际海底管理局捐赠基金表示赞赏。还有人指出，必须有效落实海洋科学研究和技术转让，但这不应成为采取措施保护国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的障碍。", "37. 一些代表团主动提出分享他们在制订综合管理政策方面的经验。", "其他问题", "38. 会上注意到高度洄游鱼种鲸目动物的脆弱性，指出应避免破坏沿海国家的养护努力，呼吁依照《联合国海洋法公约》和相关国际法的规定制订一项集体政策，以确保充分、永久保护公海鲸目动物。这项拟议政策将包括敦促各国停止授权船只在公海捕捞鲸目动物或在其管辖范围内作业，尽量减小其他威胁，以及支持发展中国家特别是小岛屿发展中国家开展活动，研究、养护和管理其管辖水域和公海邻近区域的鲸目动物。一些代表团建议工作组审议这个问题。还有些代表团指出可持续利用海洋哺乳动物等海洋生物资源原则的重要性，无论是在国家管辖范围以内还是以外区域进行捕捞，称应通过主管组织，即国际捕鲸委员会和北大西洋海洋哺乳动物委员会，讨论和通过为此目的采取的措施。", "39. 一些代表团强调科学知识作为良好决策基础的作用，呼吁增进对海洋生物多样性的科学认识。虽然有人建议在收集结论性和实验性科学知识之前不急于寻找具体解决办法，一些代表团强调指出，不应以需要进一步研究为由，推迟审查生物多样性的主要方面，即养护和可持续利用，包括分享其所产生的惠益。", "40. 有人表示，应依照《联合国海洋法公约》进行科学合作，包括利用和发表成果，以进一步促进较不为人知的深海和开阔洋的研究。", "41. 一些代表团指出，收集目前国家管辖范围以外区域活动的信息至关重要。这些代表团特别注意到，缺少自愿提供给秘书长关于微生物活动的信息，特别是国家管辖范围以外区域的海床和洋底微生物，如多金属硫化物。", "适当说明可能就工作组授权内审查的所有方面实行的方案和办法，特别是考虑到大会第65/37 A号决议第十节", "42. 普遍认为，现状既不可持续，也不可接受。许多代表团呼吁通过《公约》执行协议建立综合法律制度，顾及与国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性有关的所有方面，包括养护、可持续利用和公平分享所产生的惠益、能力建设和海洋技术转让。会上强调指出，应同步处理所有元素。一些代表团指出，执行协议将使我们能够更有效地运用现有工具(如海洋保护区和环境影响评估等)和新工具，特别是海洋遗传资源获取和惠益分享机制。执行协议还将制订养护和可持续管理一般性现代原则。有人建议大会建立政府间委员会，负责使工作组的工作正式化。有人表示，也可选择在联合国主持下举行会议，促进有效执行《联合国海洋法公约》。", "43. 一些代表团认为不需要执行协议，称现有法律框架足以处理国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的养护和可持续利用。在此方面，主要挑战是应加强执行现有规则和文书。有人指出，目前并未努力更明确地把重点放在个别威胁和加强执行现有文书上，只有现有文书不涉及当前对国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样化的威胁，才应讨论执行协议。其他代表团重申，在考虑执行协议之前，应进一步努力查明现有差距，有人指出其中一个差距就是没有涉及海洋遗传资源开发的制度。", "44. 有人表示，应承认在考虑建立其他论坛之前，工作组仍能够进行必要的有益工作。但有人指出，工作组的工作范围太宽范，可通过缩小所讨论专题的范围，使工作组更有成效。在此方面，确定海洋保护区和海洋遗传资源等划区管理工具可能是重点领域。一些代表团建议修订工作组议程。", "45. 还有人建议，为推进工作组的工作，举办定向讲习班或系列讲习班，包括各国和主管政府间机构，在“不损害”的基础上非正式开展工作，着眼于考虑一系列备选办法，以处理所讨论的问题，更明确地了解共识和分歧。有人指出，在此类讲习班，可审议今后所有备选方案，包括执行协议，或在没有执行协议的情况下将采取的其他行动。有人提出，这些讲习班将编写报告，向所有会员国分发，并提交工作组下次会议。建议供讲习班审议的两大主题是海洋遗传资源及国家管辖范围以外区域养护和管理工具，尤其是海洋保护区和环境影响评估。一些代表团就确定这些讲习班由大会正式举办还是由各国非正式举办的必要性发表意见。", "46. 其他代表团呼吁进行闭会期间工作，探讨多种备选办法，以便能够在工作组下次会议上通过切实可行的措施。", "47. 有人指出，虽然正在制订协商一致办法，但也应考虑立即采取行动，以便能够交流信息、建设能力和转让海洋技术。", "48. 关于海洋遗传资源，有人强调指出，讨论的重点应当是使用海洋遗传资源规范机制，包括公平公正分享利用遗传资源所产生的惠益。一些代表团认为，《名古屋议定书》和《粮食和农业植物遗传资源国际条约》可作为拟定惠益分享安排的基础。", "49. 有人表示，会议应把重点放在海洋遗传资源的养护和研究状况、可能制订的其他相关海洋科学研究标准或准则及能力建设和培训方案机会。会上还强调，应特别考虑海洋遗传资源最新科学，以及可能制订全球获取标准和惠益定义。", "50. 关于海洋保护区，有人提议就此专题进行的讨论应考虑：确定负责指定和管理海洋保护区的主管机关；指定保护区对第三方造成的法律影响；确定目标，以及在指定区内允许进行及禁止或限制的活动；确定执行手段和每个区的执行期；考虑海洋保护区的分布，以期确保洄游类的养护；考虑脆弱海洋生态系统和相关种群；通过并采取综合办法保护和维护生物多样性；查明对海洋生态系统的威胁，同时考虑到应保护目前不受任何现行机制监管的物种；考虑各国和政府间组织的协调机制，以确定可指定为海洋保护区的具有生态或生物重要意义的区域；财政制度。会上还指出，可在国际海事组织的框架内考虑其他现有机制，特别是指定特别敏感海区。", "51. 有人表示，国际努力的重点应当是确定需要加强保护的区域，具体方式是运用关于确定开阔洋和深海生境需要保护的具有生态和生物重要性的海洋区科学标准，以及运用依照《生物多样性公约》和联合国粮食及农业组织《公海上深海渔业管理国际准则》制定的关于挑选区域建立具有代表性的海洋保护区(包括在开阔洋和深海生境)网络的科学指南。有人表示满意的是，在制订这些文书中用于确定具有生态和生物重要性的区域和脆弱海洋生态系统的统一标准方面取得进展。", "52. 还有人建议审查有关国家管辖范围以外区域海洋保护区的经验，包括汲取的教训。会上强调应考虑如何透明地建立、监测和衡量这些区域的实效。", "53. 有人重申，海洋保护区需要：明确划界；在所处理的损害和应具有灵活性和适应性的管理措施之间有强有力的因果联系；如《联合国海洋法公约》所述，实施、遵守和执行符合国际法的措施，包括尊重沿海国对其大陆架拥有的主权。有人建议，可为建立保护区参加双边或多边协议。", "54. 一些代表团建议在全球利用区域渔业管理组织和区域海洋组织已经利用的环境影响评估和战略环境评估，包括累积影响。会上还提到大会第64/72号决议第119段建立的进程，涉及底鱼捕捞对脆弱海洋生态系统的影响。会上提议加深对当前和预计在国家管辖范围以外区域进行的活动的了解，这些活动可能使海洋环境发生重大和有害变化。会上强调应加强信息交流，说明各国如何履行《联合国海洋法公约》规定的义务，评估这些活动可能造成的影响。还应考虑国际社会在工作组内或其他部门论坛促进履行这些义务的机会。", "55. 一些代表团呼吁进一步努力建立新的区域渔业管理组织并加强现有组织。还有人指出，应更新现有区域渔业管理组织的授权。", "56. 有人表示，各机构进行协调一致的区域努力对于国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的养护和可持续利用极为重要。在此方面，有人表示应进一步协调区域和国际进程，以确定优先领域。鉴于处理海洋生物多样性的现有国际机构和论坛的多重性，还认为有必要采取跨部门办法。", "查明关键议题和问题，其中更详细的背景研究将有助于各国对这些议题的审议", "57. 一些代表团认为，总会有问题需要进一步研究。但这不应延迟行动，特别是对于国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的养护与可持续利用采取预防性办法。在此方面，他们建议从工作组今后会议的议程上取消关于查明关键议题和问题的项目，因为更详细的背景研究将有助于国家对这些议题的审议。其他代表团强调讨论这一专题的重要性，认为工作组的工作进展越大，就越需要处理所审查议题引起的复杂技术问题。", "58. 工作组共同主席建议请秘书长同主管国际组织和机构合作，编制关于国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的现有文书清单。但由于缺少时间，工作组没有审议这项建议。", "[1] ^(*) A/66/50。", "[2] ^(*) 本摘要仅供参考，并非讨论记录。" ]

In accordance with paragraph 163 of resolution 65/37 A, the Working Group was convened to provide recommendations to the General Assembly.", "3. The meeting of the Working Group was presided over by two Co-Chairs, Ambassador Palitha T. B. Kohona (Sri Lanka) and Liesbeth Lijnzaad (Netherlands), appointed by the President of the General Assembly in consultation with Member States. The Assistant Secretary-General for Legal Affairs, Stephen Mathias, delivered opening remarks on behalf of the Secretary-General and the Legal Counsel of the United Nations. An open-ended Group of Friends of the Co-Chairs assisted the latter in preparing draft recommendations.", "4. Representatives from 72 Member States, 20 intergovernmental organizations and other bodies and 11 non-governmental organizations attended the meeting of the Working Group.", "5. The following supporting documentation was available to the Working Group: (a) provisional agenda (A/AC.276/L.5); (b) draft format and annotated provisional agenda and organization of work (A/AC.276/L.6); and (c) report of the Secretary-General on oceans and the law of the sea (A/66/70). The Working Group adopted the agenda with amendments (A/AC.276/4) and agreed to proceed on the basis of the format, annotated agenda and organization of work.", "6. Based on the discussions in the Working Group, the Co-Chairs, with assistance from the Group of Friends, prepared draft recommendations for consideration by the Working Group. On 3 June, the Working Group adopted the recommendations by consensus. They are contained in section I of the present document.", "7. The Co-Chairs prepared the present brief summary of discussions on key issues, ideas and proposals referred to or raised during the deliberations.", "General considerations", "8. Delegations reaffirmed that marine biodiversity constituted a fundamental component of life in the oceans and on Earth. The environmental importance of marine biodiversity and its contribution to the development of science, better health and food security were highlighted. Many delegations emphasized that the conservation of marine biodiversity and its sustainable use were directly connected to sustainable development and therefore had social and economic relevance. Some delegations noted that anthropogenic threats to marine biodiversity, including as a result of climate change, bottom trawling, ocean noise and shark finning, had continued to increase in areas both within and beyond national jurisdiction. Noting that the 2010 target to significantly reduce the rate of biodiversity loss had not been met, some non-governmental organizations highlighted the finding of the third edition of Global Biodiversity Outlook that a number of ecosystems had reached critical points and that, unless strong action was taken, many of them would no longer provide for the needs of present and future generations.", "9. The central role played by the General Assembly with regard to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction was underscored. In this connection, several delegations emphasized that the Working Group represented the only forum in which all aspects of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction were dealt with in a format that encouraged open discussion by all stakeholders. The view was expressed that the mandate of the Working Group was limited to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction.", "10. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea was acknowledged as providing the legal framework for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. Some delegations noted that the Convention and its implementing Agreements were complemented by other legal instruments, including the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation adopted at the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the Mauritius Strategy for the Further Implementation of the Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States, and the International Guidelines on the Management of Deep-sea Fisheries in the High Seas adopted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Several delegations also recognized the importance of the responsibilities entrusted to the International Seabed Authority regarding marine scientific research and the protection of the marine environment.", "11. Some delegations expressed satisfaction at the adoption of the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the new Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity at its tenth meeting.", "Panel presentations", "12. Prior to the consideration of the substantive items on its agenda, the Working Group heard presentations from four panellists, followed by a short question and answer period. Presentations were delivered by: Nii Odunton, Secretary-General, International Seabed Authority, on international cooperation and coordination for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in the Area; Rama Rao Sankurathripati, Officer-in-Charge, Coordination Office in New York, World Intellectual Property Organization, on the intellectual property aspects of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction; Lyle Glowka, Senior Legal Advisor, Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, on the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity; and Harlan Cohen, Advisor on Ocean Governance and International Institutions, International Union for Conservation of Nature, on environmental impact assessments and marine protected areas.", "Examination of the scientific, technical, economic, legal, environmental, socio-economic and other aspects of the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction, including activities of the United Nations and other relevant international organizations, in particular further consideration of the relevant legal regime on marine genetic resources in areas beyond national jurisdiction in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, taking into account the views of States on Parts VII and XI of the Convention; issues of marine protected areas; and issues of environmental impact assessment processes", "13. Several delegations viewed conservation, sustainable use, including the sharing of benefits derived from such use, and capacity-building and the transfer of marine technology as integral parts of the specific legal regime related to marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. These delegations also stressed that all conservation tools should be examined on their own merits, and expressed concerns about the adoption of practical or short-term measures without a definition of the relevant legal regime.", "14. The need for integrated ocean management and ecosystem approaches to the management of activities related to marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction was highlighted by some delegations. In that regard, some delegations drew attention to the role played by regional environmental organizations and regional fisheries management organizations and/or arrangements regarding integrated ocean management. Several delegations were of the view that a range of different bodies and forums with varying responsibilities and sectorally or regionally restricted mandates addressed the protection of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. Those delegations called for a coordinated cross-sectoral approach which would take into account the cumulative impact of human activities beyond areas of national jurisdiction.", "Marine genetic resources in areas beyond national jurisdiction", "15. Delegations recalled that the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea provided the legal framework for all activities in the oceans and seas, including with respect to marine genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction. Several delegations stressed that unregulated access to genetic resources in the Area, which they considered as the common heritage of mankind, and their exclusive exploitation by a few had serious global economic and social implications. Several delegations noted that two different regimes applied to the high seas and the Area, respectively. They also observed that, according to General Assembly resolution 2749 (XXV) and Part XI of the Convention, which they considered part of customary international law, the Area and its resources were the common heritage of mankind. Those delegations emphasized that the common heritage of mankind, including the fair and equitable sharing of benefits, applied to the biological resources of the Area. In this respect, they recognized the importance of the responsibilities entrusted to the International Seabed Authority regarding marine scientific research and the protection of the marine environment.", "16. Other delegations pointed out that the principle of the common heritage of mankind only applied to mineral resources of the Area. They were of the view that living resources in the Area were regulated under the high seas regime as set out in Part VII of the Convention.", "17. Several delegations recalled that the overall goal of the international community should be the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. They underlined that the “first come, first served” approach existing on the high seas was counterproductive and undermined sustainability. The view was also expressed that a link existed between the common heritage of mankind and the conservation and preservation of the marine environment. In that regard, the common heritage of mankind was not solely about benefit sharing, but just as much about conservation and preservation. Addressing all issues as a “package deal” that would cover measures for both the preservation and conservation of marine biodiversity, including marine protected areas, and the management of marine genetic resources on the seabed, including aspects relating to benefit sharing thereof, was thus proposed.", "18. It was observed that there had not been much discussion on the regime applicable to marine genetic resources on the high seas. It was suggested that if there was agreement that the high seas regime applied to marine genetic resources on the high seas, some common ground could be found in relation to the relevant legal framework for their conservation and sustainable use.", "19. Several delegations noted the lack of an international body entrusted with the mandate to regulate access to marine genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction. In that connection, the need to explore the various ways to achieve a regulatory framework was also noted. It was underlined that the Working Group was the appropriate forum to discuss issues relating to marine genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction and that such discussion should be conducted within the framework of, and in conformity with, the Convention. The discussions conducted during the eighth meeting of the United Nations Open-ended Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea, which focused on marine genetic resources, were recalled as a good basis for a common understanding of the issue, provided that the relevant information was revisited and updated.", "20. Several delegations expressed support for considering the sharing of benefits arising from the use of marine genetic resources, and highlighted that different mechanisms of a monetary and non-monetary nature could be used for that purpose. In that context, the indicative list of monetary and non-monetary benefits included in the annex to the Nagoya Protocol was identified as a possible basis for discussions. In addition, several delegations drew attention to the intellectual property aspects of marine genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction, suggesting that the Working Group should consider the issue, in particular with regard to biodiversity in the Area.", "21. A reservation was expressed about the suggestion that benefit sharing for marine genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction would lead to greater conservation or sustainable use of marine biodiversity. It was observed, in that regard, that such a regime would impede research and development. Another view was expressed that benefit sharing needed to be performed to allow ample incentive for exploration and development.", "22. Efforts aimed at developing and promulgating codes of conduct for research activities, such as the InterRidge code of conduct, were welcomed. The need for such activities to be consistent with the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, as well as the need for a balance among environmental protection, freedom of scientific research and sharing of the benefits deriving from the use of marine genetic resources, were also highlighted.", "Marine protected areas", "23. A number of delegations noted the fundamental role of area-based management tools, including marine protected areas, in the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity and in ensuring the resilience of marine ecosystems, including beyond areas of national jurisdiction. The importance of those tools as part of a range of management options in implementing precautionary and ecosystem approaches to the management of human activities was highlighted. Several delegations recalled 2012 as an important year for biodiversity, culminating in the twentieth anniversary of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development and the tenth anniversary of the World Summit on Sustainable Development. They stressed the need to demonstrate progress towards the achievement of the commitments set out in the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation in relation to the establishment of marine protected areas, including representative networks. The achievement of those commitments was also identified as one of the ways in which article 197 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea could be implemented.", "24. The central role of the General Assembly and the responsibility of the Working Group in developing a framework for marine protected areas beyond areas of national jurisdiction was emphasized. In this regard, the benefit of multilateral cooperation in the context of the Convention on Biological Diversity was also noted. Some delegations highlighted the need to determine the legal basis for the establishment of marine protected areas beyond areas of national jurisdiction. It was observed that marine protected areas should be established in conformity with international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.", "25. The view was expressed that the establishment of marine protected areas should be based on scientific evidence and should not prejudice the rights of States to the rational use of natural resources. The need for improved scientific knowledge was also emphasized. The need for an approach that integrates scientific advice to inform appropriate regional and sectoral management bodies, taking account cross-sectoral and cumulative impacts, was highlighted. Such integration inherently required a spatial perspective.", "26. Some delegations emphasized that the establishment of marine protected areas should not follow a uniform methodology, or a “one-size-fits-all” approach. In addition, some delegations underscored that the selection of the most appropriate area-based management tools, including marine protected areas, was case-specific and should remain in the purview of regional management bodies.", "27. The need for consultation with and participation of relevant sectors and stakeholders in the establishment of marine protected areas on the high seas was stressed.", "28. Several delegations noted that, following the scientific description of ecologically or biologically significant areas or vulnerable marine ecosystems, there was a need to identify and select those areas for protection and to design the management measures accordingly. The gap between the scientific process for description of ecologically and biologically significant areas and the actual identification/designation of such areas was highlighted since no global forum had a formal mandate at present, and existing regional and sectoral forums were facing issues of legitimacy to do so.", "29. Several delegations emphasized the establishment of marine protected areas beyond national jurisdiction in the context of the Commission for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic as a successful example. The value of regional cooperation and the lessons to be learned from that experience were suggested for further study and consideration, with a view to learning by doing. It was also suggested that a systematic analysis of the modalities of establishing and managing high seas marine protected areas and other area-based tools should be carried out. This would allow a determination of whether the establishment of a network of marine protected areas could be carried out under existing mechanisms. In this context, a further suggestion was made to designate and implement pilot sites as a means to determine feasibility and effectiveness of existing tools.", "Environmental impact assessment processes", "30. Several delegations highlighted the importance of environmental impact assessments for the conduct of activities beyond areas of national jurisdiction. The intrinsic link between environmental impact assessments and the conservation and sustainable use of marine genetic resources and marine protected areas was noted. Those delegations were of the view that there was a governance gap regarding environmental impact assessments beyond areas of national jurisdiction, noting that article 206 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the provisions stemming from the Convention on Biological Diversity provided the only general framework, together with the regulations of the International Seabed Authority and the advisory opinion of the Seabed Disputes Chamber of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea on the responsibilities and obligations of States sponsoring persons and entities with respect to activities in the Area.", "31. The development and implementation of procedures to assess the potential environmental effects of activities that may cause substantial pollution of, or significant and harmful changes to, oceans and marine ecosystems, such as fishing, ocean dumping, shipping and mining was proposed.", "32. The importance of understanding the cumulative effects of overlapping anthropogenic activities on marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction was noted. Moreover, it was stressed that it was necessary to recognize the fundamental role of sectoral activities and to promote integrated, cross-sectoral cooperation, especially at the regional level, as well as integrated scientific advice.", "33. It was recalled that the previous meeting of the Working Group, held in 2010, had recommended that the General Assembly recognize the importance of further developing scientific and technical guidance on the implementation of environmental impact assessments with respect to planned activities in areas beyond national jurisdiction, including consideration of the assessment of cumulative impacts. It was observed that, in the formulation of such guidelines, full consideration should be given to the capacity of States to conduct assessments, as well as to the work of other international organizations in this field so as to avoid duplication of obligations and duties. Some delegations acknowledged the role of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the United Nations Environment Programme, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and other organizations and instruments with regard to environmental impact assessments.", "34. The view was expressed that the United Nations should take a stronger role in environmental impact assessments, which could include elaborating principles to assist in the implementation of environmental impact assessments on the high seas. The role of the regular process for global reporting and assessment of the state of the marine environment, including socio-economic aspects, in developing a functional science policy interface on marine issues was also recalled.", "35. A suggestion was made to share best practices and build capacity to carry out environmental impact assessments. The inclusion of environmental impact assessment requirements in regional agreements, as had been done in the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, was also encouraged.", "Capacity-building and transfer of marine technology", "36. Several delegations called for increased capacity-building and transfer of marine technology to improve the participation of developing countries in scientific research in the Area, as well as their contribution towards the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity. They noted that this was the area in which the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea suffered from the gravest implementation gap. In this connection, appreciation was expressed for the Endowment Fund of the International Seabed Authority. It was also noted that marine scientific research and transfer of technology must be realized effectively, but should not be an obstacle for the implementation of measures for the protection of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.", "37. Some delegations offered to share their experiences in the development of integrated management policies.", "Other issues", "38. Noting the vulnerability of cetaceans as highly migratory species and the need to avoid undermining the conservation efforts of coastal States, a call was made to elaborate a collective policy, in conformity with the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and relevant international laws, to ensure full and permanent protection for cetaceans on the high seas. The proposed policy would include urging States to cease authorizing catches of cetaceans on the high seas by vessels or operations under their jurisdiction, minimizing other threats and supporting the activities of developing States, in particular small island developing States, for the study, conservation and management of cetaceans in waters under their jurisdiction and adjacent areas of the high seas. Some delegations suggested that the Working Group consider this issue. Some other delegations stated the importance of the principle of sustainable use of marine living resources, including marine mammals, regardless of whether the catches were made within or beyond areas of national jurisdiction. The latter delegations stated that measures taken for that purpose should be discussed and adopted through the competent organizations, namely the International Whaling Commission and the North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission.", "39. Several delegations emphasized the role of scientific knowledge as a basis for sound decision-making. In this connection, the improved scientific understanding of marine biodiversity was called for. While a suggestion was made not to rush into specific solutions before conclusive and empirical scientific knowledge was gathered, several delegations emphasized that the need for further study should not be used as a reason to postpone the examination of the main aspects of biodiversity, namely conservation and sustainable uses, including the sharing of benefits to be derived therefrom.", "40. The view was expressed that scientific cooperation should be undertaken in a manner compatible with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, including through the utilization and publication of results in order to further promote research in deep and open oceans, which were the lesser known regions.", "41. Several delegations observed that gathering information on the activities that were currently undertaken beyond areas of national jurisdiction was essential. Those delegations noted, in particular, the lack of information voluntarily provided to the Secretary-General as to activities regarding micro-organisms, in particular those of the seabed and ocean floor beyond the limits of national jurisdiction and the geo-morphological formations therein, such as polymetallic sulphides.", "Indication, where appropriate, of possible options on and approaches to all aspects under examination within the mandate of the Working Group, taking into account, in particular, section X of General Assembly resolution 65/37 A", "42. It was generally recognized that the status quo was not a sustainable situation, nor an acceptable option. Many delegations called for the elaboration of a comprehensive legal regime, through an implementing agreement to the Convention, that would take into consideration all aspects related to marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction, including conservation, sustainable use and equitable sharing of benefits thereof, capacity-building and transfer of marine technology. It was highlighted that all elements needed to be addressed at the same pace. Several delegations stated that an implementing agreement would enable more effective application of existing tools, such as marine protected areas and environmental impact assessments, as well as new tools, particularly on access and benefit-sharing mechanisms for marine genetic resources. An implementing agreement would also set out general modern principles of conservation and sustainable management. A suggestion was made that the General Assembly should establish an intergovernmental committee mandated to formalize the work of the Working Group. The view was expressed that, alternatively, a conference under the auspices of the United Nations could be convened in order to promote effective implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.", "43. Some delegations did not see the need for an implementing agreement, noting that the existing legal framework was sufficient to address the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. In this respect, the main challenge was the need for enhanced implementation of the existing rules and instruments. It was observed that seeking clearer focus on individual threats and enhancing implementation of existing instruments was not the status quo, and an implementing agreement should only be discussed if current threats to marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction were not being addressed by existing instruments. Other delegations reiterated that, before any consideration of an implementing agreement, more work needed to be done to identify existing gaps. It was pointed out that the lack of a regime covering the exploitation of marine genetic resources was one such gap.", "44. The view was expressed that it should be recognized that, before giving consideration to establishing other forums, the Working Group was still able to perform necessary and useful work. However, it was noted that the scope of the Working Group was too broad and that it could become a more productive body by narrowing the breadth of topics discussed. In that regard, area-based management tools, such as marine protected areas and marine genetic resources, were identified as possible areas of focus. Several delegations suggested that the agenda of the Working Group be amended.", "45. A suggestion was also made to move the work of the Working Group forward through a targeted workshop, or set of workshops, comprised of States and competent intergovernmental bodies, working informally and on a “without prejudice” basis, with a view to considering the full range of options for addressing the issues under discussion and generating a clearer understanding of areas of agreement and disagreement. It was noted that, in such workshops, all future options would be open for consideration, including an implementing agreement or alternative actions to be taken in the absence of such an agreement. It was put forward that these workshops would produce reports that would be circulated to all Member States and be provided for the next meeting of the Working Group. The two main themes suggested for consideration by the workshops were marine genetic resources and conservation and management tools for areas beyond national jurisdiction, notably marine protected areas and environmental impact assessments. A number of delegations commented on the need to determine whether the workshops would be formally convened by the General Assembly or informally convened by States.", "46. Other delegations called for intersessional work to explore options and to allow for the adoption of practical measures at the next meeting of the Working Group.", "47. It was pointed out that, while a consensus solution was being developed, immediate action to allow for information sharing, capacity-building and transfer of marine technology should also be considered.", "48. With regard to marine genetic resources, it was highlighted that discussions should focus on the regulatory mechanisms for the use of marine genetic resources, including the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits deriving from such use. Some delegations believed that the Nagoya Protocol and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture could serve as a basis for developing benefit-sharing arrangements.", "49. The view was expressed that the meeting should focus on the conservation of and the status of research on marine genetic resources; potential additional criteria or guidelines for related marine scientific research; and opportunities for capacity-building and training programmes. The need to consider, inter alia, the latest science on marine genetic resources, the possible development of a global standard for access and the definition of what constitutes a benefit was also stressed.", "50. As for marine protected areas, the proposal was made that discussions on this topic should consider identification of the competent body for the designation and management of marine protected areas beyond national jurisdiction; legal effects arising from such a designation with respect to third parties; identification of the objectives to be pursued as well as the activities to be allowed and those to be prohibited or restricted within the designated areas; identification of the means of implementation as well as of the enforcement periods for each area; consideration of the distribution of marine protected areas with a view to ensuring the conservation of migratory species; consideration of vulnerable marine ecosystems and related populations; adoption and implementation of integrated approaches for the protection and preservation of biological diversity; identification of threats to marine ecosystems, taking into account the need to protect species that are not currently regulated by any existing mechanism; consideration of mechanisms of coordination among States and intergovernmental organizations to identify ecologically and biologically significant areas that could be designated as marine protected areas; and financial schemes. It was also noted that other existing mechanisms could be considered within the framework of the International Maritime Organization, in particular the designation of particularly sensitive sea areas.", "51. The view was expressed that international efforts should focus on the identification of areas requiring enhanced protection through the use of the scientific criteria for identifying ecologically or biologically significant marine areas in need of protection in open-ocean waters and deep-sea habitats and the scientific guidance for selecting areas to establish representative networks of marine protected areas, including in open-ocean waters and deep-sea habitats, developed in the context of the Convention on Biological Diversity, as well as the International Guidelines for the Management of Deep-sea Fisheries in the High Seas of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Satisfaction was expressed at the progress made in developing the consistent criteria used in those instruments to identify ecologically or biologically significant areas and vulnerable marine ecosystems.", "52. It was also suggested that experience with marine protected areas beyond areas of national jurisdiction, including lessons learned, be reviewed. The need to consider how to transparently establish, monitor and measure the effectiveness of such areas was highlighted.", "53. The view was reiterated that marine protected areas needed to have clearly delineated boundaries; a strong causal link between the harm being addressed and management measures, which should be flexible and adaptive; and implementation, compliance and enforcement measures consistent with international law as reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, including respect for the sovereign rights of coastal States over their continental shelves. It was suggested that bilateral or multilateral agreements to establish such areas could be entered into.", "54. Several delegations suggested that environmental impact assessments and strategic environmental assessments, which were already used by regional fisheries management organizations and regional seas organizations, should be used globally, incorporating cumulative impacts. Reference was also made to the process established in paragraph 119 of General Assembly resolution 64/72 concerning the impact of bottom fisheries on vulnerable marine ecosystems. It was proposed to deepen understanding of ongoing and projected activities in areas beyond national jurisdiction that may cause significant and harmful changes to the marine environment. It was stressed that exchange of information on how States were meeting the obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to assess the potential effects of those activities should be enhanced. There was also a need for considering available opportunities for the international community, within the Working Group or other sector-based forums, to enhance the implementation of such obligations.", "55. Some delegations called for increased efforts with respect to the establishment of new regional fisheries management organizations and the strengthening of existing organizations. It was also noted that the mandates of existing regional fisheries management organizations should be updated.", "56. The view was expressed that coherent and coordinated regional efforts across agencies were imperative for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. In this connection, the view was expressed that better coordination of regional and international processes should be achieved to identify priority areas. The need for a cross-sectoral approach was also considered necessary in view of the multiplicity of existing international bodies and forums that dealt with marine biodiversity.", "Identification of key issues and questions where more detailed background studies would facilitate consideration by States of these issues", "57. Several delegations observed that there would always be issues that required further study. However, this should not delay action, particularly in the application of the precautionary approach to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. In this regard, they suggested removing from the agenda of future meetings of the Working Group the item on identification of key issues and questions where more detailed background studies would facilitate consideration by States of these issues. Other delegations highlighted the importance of discussions on this topic, considering that the further the work of the Working Group progressed, the more there would be a need to address complex technical questions arising from the issues under examination.", "58. The Co-Chairs of the Working Group proposed that the Secretary-General be requested, in cooperation with competent international organizations and bodies, to prepare an inventory of existing instruments relevant to marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. However, owing to lack of time, the Working Group did not consider this proposal." ]

On 3 June, the Working Group adopted by consensus the recommendations, which are contained in section I of the present document.", "7. The Co-Chairs prepared summaries of the discussions on the important issues, ideas and proposals mentioned or raised during the deliberations.", "General considerations", "8. Delegations reiterated that marine biodiversity was an important component of marine and terrestrial life. The importance of marine biodiversity for the environment and its contribution to scientific development, health promotion and food security was emphasized. Many delegations highlighted the social and economic significance of the conservation of marine biodiversity and its sustainable use as being directly related to sustainable development. Some delegations noted that anthropogenic threats to marine biodiversity continued to increase within and beyond areas of national jurisdiction, including those posed by climate change, bottom trawling, ocean noise and fin-cutting. Noting that the 2010 target of significantly reducing the rate of loss of biodiversity had not been met, some non-governmental organizations stressed the conclusion of the third edition of the Global Biodiversity Outlook that some ecosystems were at a critical juncture and that many would no longer meet the needs of present and future generations unless strong action was taken.", "9. The central role of the General Assembly in the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction was emphasized. In that regard, some delegations emphasized that the Working Group was the only forum to address various aspects of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction in a manner that encouraged open discussion among all stakeholders. The view was expressed that the mandate of the Working Group was limited to the conservation and sustainable use of marine living resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction.", "10. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is the recognized legal framework for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. Some delegations noted that the Convention and its implementing agreements were complemented by other legal instruments, including the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation adopted at the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the Mauritius Strategy for the Further Implementation of the Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States and the International Guidelines for the Management of Deep-sea Fisheries in the High Seas adopted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Some delegations also recognized the importance of the responsibilities of the International Seabed Authority with regard to marine scientific research and the protection of the marine environment.", "11. Some delegations expressed satisfaction with the adoption by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity at its tenth meeting of the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from Their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the new Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020.", "Panel presentations", "12. Before considering the substantive agenda items, the Working Group heard presentations by four panellists, followed by a brief question-and-answer session. Presentations were made by Ni Odunton, Secretary-General of the International Seabed Authority, on international cooperation and coordination for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in the Area; Rama Rao Sankarathripati, Acting Chief of the Coordination Office of the World Intellectual Property Organization in New York, on intellectual property issues relating to marine biological diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction; Lyle Glowka, Senior Legal Adviser to the secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, on the Nagoya Protocol to the Convention on Biological Diversity on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from Their Utilization; and Harlan Cohen, Adviser on Ocean Governance and International Institutions of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, on environmental impact assessment and marine protected areas.", "Review of the scientific, technical, economic, legal, environmental, socio-economic and other aspects of the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction, including the activities of the United Nations and other relevant international organizations, in particular further consideration of the relevant legal regime on marine genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction, in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, taking into account the views of States on parts VII and XI of the Convention; the issue of marine protected areas; and the environmental impact assessment process", "13. Some delegations expressed the view that conservation, sustainable use, including the sharing of benefits from sustainable use, capacity-building and the transfer of marine technology were integral parts of the specialized legal regime for marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. They also stressed that all conservation tools should be examined on a case-by-case basis and expressed concern about the adoption of practical or short-term measures in the absence of a definition by the relevant legal regime.", "14. Some delegations stressed the importance of integrated ocean management and an ecosystem approach to the management of activities related to marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. In that regard, some delegations drew attention to the role of regional environmental organizations and regional fisheries management organizations and/or arrangements in integrated ocean management. Some delegations expressed the view that a range of different bodies and forums with different responsibilities and mandates to be limited by areas or areas were committed to the protection of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. Those delegations called for a coordinated cross-sectoral approach, taking into account the cumulative impact of human activities in areas beyond national jurisdiction.", "Marine genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction", "15. Delegations recalled that the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea provided the legal framework for all activities in the oceans and seas, including marine genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction. Some delegations emphasized that genetic resources in the region were the common heritage of mankind and that their unregulated access and exploitation by a few had serious global economic and social implications. Some delegations noted the application of two different regimes for the high seas and the Area, respectively. They also noted that, pursuant to General Assembly resolution 2749 (XXV) and Part XI of the Convention, which they consider to be part of customary international law, the Area and its resources are the common heritage of mankind. Those delegations stressed that the common heritage of mankind, including the fair and equitable sharing of benefits, applied to the biological resources of the Area. In this regard, they recognized the importance of the responsibilities of the International Seabed Authority in marine scientific research and the protection of the marine environment.", "Other delegations noted that the principle of the common heritage of mankind applied only to the mineral resources of the Area. In their view, the biological resources of the Area were regulated by the regime of the high seas in Part VII of the Convention.", "17. Some delegations recalled that the overall objective of the international community should be the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. They stressed that the current “first-come, first-served” approach to the high seas was counterproductive and undermined sustainability. The view was expressed that the common heritage of mankind was relevant to the conservation and preservation of the marine environment. In this regard, the common heritage of mankind relates not only to benefit-sharing but also to conservation and preservation. It is therefore proposed that all issues be addressed in a package, including measures for the conservation and conservation of marine biodiversity, such as marine protected areas and the management of marine genetic resources on the seabed, including those related to benefit-sharing.", "18. It was noted that there was little discussion of the regime applicable to marine genetic resources on the high seas. It was suggested that if agreement were reached on a regime for the high seas applicable to marine genetic resources on the high seas, common ground could be found in the relevant legal regime for their conservation and sustainable use.", "19. Some delegations noted that there was no mandate for an international body to regulate access to marine genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction. In this regard, options for developing a normative framework should be explored. It was emphasized that the Working Group was the appropriate forum to discuss issues relating to marine genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction and that such discussions should be conducted within the framework and in accordance with the Convention. At the eighth meeting of the United Nations Open-ended Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea, which focused on marine genetic resources, it was recalled that those discussions provided a good basis for a common understanding of the issue, subject to the review and updating of relevant information.", "20. Some delegations expressed support for the consideration of the sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of marine genetic resources, stressing that different monetary and non-monetary mechanisms could be used for that purpose. In that regard, the identification of a list of monetary and non-monetary benefits annexed to the Nagoya Protocol could serve as a basis for discussion. In addition, a number of delegations drew attention to the issue of intellectual property rights over marine genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction and suggested that the Working Group should discuss the issue, particularly with regard to biodiversity in the Area.", "21. Reservations were expressed regarding the notion that the sharing of benefits arising from the use of marine genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction could contribute to the conservation or sustainable use of marine biodiversity. In this regard, it was noted that such a system would hinder research and development. The view was also expressed that benefits should be shared so that development and development could be fully stimulated.", "22. Efforts to develop and promulgate codes of conduct for research activities, such as those between ridges, were welcomed. In addition, it was emphasized that such activities should be consistent with the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity and should balance environmental protection, freedom of scientific research and the sharing of benefits arising from the use of marine genetic resources.", "Marine protected areas", "23. Some delegations noted that area-based management tools, including in marine protected areas, played an important role in the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity and in ensuring the adaptive capacity of marine ecosystems, including in areas beyond national jurisdiction. It was stressed that these tools were part of a range of management options and were important in the management of human activities through a precautionary and ecosystem approach. Some delegations recalled that 2012 marked the twentieth anniversary of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development and the tenth anniversary of the World Summit on Sustainable Development, which was important for biodiversity. They stressed that progress towards the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation commitment to establish marine protected areas, including representative networks, should be demonstrated. In addition, it was identified as one of the ways in which article 197 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea could be implemented.", "24. The central role of the General Assembly and the responsibilities of the Working Group in developing a framework for marine protected areas beyond areas of national jurisdiction were also emphasized. The benefits of multilateral cooperation under the Convention on Biological Diversity were also noted in this regard. Some delegations highlighted the need to establish a legal basis for the establishment of marine protected areas beyond areas of national jurisdiction. It was noted that marine protected areas should be established in accordance with international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.", "25. The view was expressed that the establishment of marine protected areas on the basis of scientific evidence should not undermine the right of States to rational use of natural resources. It was emphasized that scientific knowledge should be increased and that scientific advice should be integrated and reported to the appropriate regional and sectoral governing bodies, taking into account cross-sectoral and cumulative impacts. Such an integrated approach essentially requires a space perspective.", "Some delegations stressed that marine protected areas should not be established in a uniform or “one size fits all” approach. In addition, some delegations stressed that the most appropriate area-based management tools, including marine protected areas, should continue to be selected by regional management bodies on a case-by-case basis.", "27. It was stressed that the establishment of high seas marine protected areas should be undertaken in consultation with and with the participation of relevant sectors and stakeholders.", "28. Some delegations noted that, following the scientific elaboration of ecologically or biologically significant areas and vulnerable marine ecosystems, protected areas should be identified and selected and management measures developed accordingly. It was stressed that there was a gap between the scientific process of elaborating ecologically or biologically significant areas and the actual identification/designation of protected areas, as there was currently no global forum with a formal mandate and existing regional and sectoral forums faced the legitimacy of doing so.", "29. Some delegations highlighted the establishment of marine protected areas beyond areas of national jurisdiction under the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic as a successful example and recommended that the value of regional cooperation and lessons learned be further studied and considered with a view to learning from practice. It was also suggested that models and other area-based tools for the establishment and management of high seas marine protected areas should be analysed in a systematic manner so as to be able to determine whether networks of marine protected areas could be established under existing mechanisms. In this regard, it was further recommended that pilot sites be designated and implemented as a means of determining the feasibility and effectiveness of existing tools.", "Environmental impact assessment process", "30. Some delegations stressed the importance of environmental impact assessments for activities beyond areas of national jurisdiction and noted the intrinsic link between environmental impact assessments and the conservation and sustainable use of marine genetic resources and marine protected areas. Those delegations expressed the view that there was a governance gap with respect to environmental impact assessments in areas beyond national jurisdiction, noting that article 206 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the provisions of the Convention on Biological Diversity, as well as the International Seabed Authority regulations and the advisory opinion of the Seabed Disputes Chamber of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea on the responsibilities and obligations of States sponsoring individuals and entities operating in the Area, provided the only overall framework.", "31. It was proposed to develop and implement processes to assess the potential environmental impacts of activities that could cause significant pollution or significant and harmful changes to the oceans and marine ecosystems, such as fishing, ocean dumping, shipping and mining.", "32. It was noted that it was important to understand the cumulative impact of overlapping man-made activities on marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. In addition, it was emphasized that the important role of sectoral activities should be recognized and that integrated cross-sectoral cooperation should be promoted, especially at the regional level, and integrated scientific advice provided.", "33. Recalling that the Working Group had met in 2010, it was recommended that the General Assembly recognize the need to further develop scientific and technical guidance on environmental impact assessments for activities planned beyond areas of national jurisdiction, including consideration of the assessment of cumulative impacts. It was pointed out that, in developing such guidelines, full account should be taken of the capacity of States to conduct assessments and the work of other international organizations in that area in order to avoid overlapping obligations and responsibilities. Some delegations recognized the role of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the United Nations Environment Programme, the Convention on Biological Diversity and other organizations and instruments in environmental impact assessment.", "The view was expressed that the United Nations should play a stronger role in environmental impact assessments, which could include the development of principles to assist in environmental impact assessments on the high seas. The role of the regular process for global reporting and assessment of the state of the marine environment, including socio-economic aspects, in the development of a functional science-policy platform on oceans was also recalled.", "The exchange of best practices and capacity-building for environmental impact assessments were suggested. Furthermore, the inclusion of environmental impact assessment requirements in regional agreements, such as in the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, is encouraged.", "Capacity-building and transfer of marine technology", "Some delegations called for enhanced capacity-building and the transfer of marine technology to facilitate the participation of developing countries in scientific research in the Area and to contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity. They noted that it was in this area that the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea was the least effective. In that regard, appreciation was expressed for the International Seabed Authority Endowment Fund. It was also noted that the effective implementation of marine scientific research and transfer of technology should not be an obstacle to the adoption of measures to protect marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction.", "37. Some delegations offered to share their experiences in the development of integrated management policies.", "Other issues", "38. The vulnerability of cetaceans of highly migratory species was noted, the need to avoid undermining the conservation efforts of coastal States was noted, and a call was made for a collective policy to ensure adequate and permanent protection of cetaceans of the high seas, in accordance with the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and relevant international law. The proposed policy would include urging States to cease authorizing vessels to fish cetaceans on the high seas or to operate within their jurisdiction, to minimize other threats, and to support developing countries, in particular small island developing States, in their activities to study, conserve and manage cetaceans in waters under their jurisdiction and in areas adjacent to the high seas. Some delegations suggested that the Working Group consider this issue. Other delegations noted the importance of the principle of the sustainable use of marine living resources, such as marine mammals, both within and beyond areas of national jurisdiction, and said that measures to that end should be discussed and adopted through the competent organizations, namely the International Whaling Commission and the North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission.", "39. Some delegations stressed the role of scientific knowledge as a basis for good decision-making and called for increased scientific understanding of marine biodiversity. While it was suggested that no specific solutions should be urgently sought until conclusive and experimental scientific knowledge was collected, some delegations stressed that the need for further research should not be used as a reason for postponing the review of the main aspect of biodiversity, namely, its conservation and sustainable use, including the sharing of its benefits.", "40. The view was expressed that scientific cooperation, including the use and publication of results, should be undertaken in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in order to further promote less well-known research in the deep and open oceans.", "41. Some delegations noted the importance of gathering information on current activities in areas beyond national jurisdiction. In particular, those delegations noted the lack of voluntary information provided to the Secretary-General on micro-organisms activities, in particular seabed and ocean floor micro-organisms beyond areas of national jurisdiction, such as polymetallic sulphides.", "Appropriate description of possible programmes and approaches with regard to all aspects examined within the mandate of the Working Group, taking into account in particular section X of General Assembly resolution 65/37 A", "42. There was general agreement that the status quo was neither sustainable nor acceptable. Many delegations called for the establishment of a comprehensive legal regime through an implementing agreement to the Convention, taking into account all aspects relating to marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction, including conservation, sustainable use and equitable sharing of benefits, capacity-building and transfer of marine technology. It was stressed that all elements should be addressed simultaneously. Some delegations noted that the implementation of the agreement would enable us to make more effective use of existing tools (such as marine protected areas and environmental impact assessments) and new tools, in particular access and benefit-sharing mechanisms for marine genetic resources. The implementation agreement will also establish modern principles of a general nature for conservation and sustainable management. It was suggested that the General Assembly establish an intergovernmental committee to formalize the work of the working group. The view was expressed that the option of holding meetings under the auspices of the United Nations could also be used to promote the effective implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.", "43. Some delegations expressed the view that there was no need to implement the agreement, stating that the existing legal framework was sufficient to address the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. In this regard, the main challenge is to strengthen the implementation of existing rules and instruments. It was noted that there was no effort to focus more clearly on individual threats and to strengthen the implementation of existing instruments and that implementation agreements should be discussed only if they did not address current threats to marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. Other delegations reiterated that further efforts should be made to identify existing gaps before considering the implementation of the agreement, noting that one such gap was the absence of a regime for the exploitation of marine genetic resources.", "The view was expressed that it should be recognized that the Working Group was still in a position to carry out the necessary useful work before considering the establishment of other forums. It was noted, however, that the work of the Working Group was too broad and could be made more productive by narrowing the scope of the topic under discussion. In this regard, the identification of area-based management tools, such as marine protected areas and marine genetic resources, could be an area of focus. Some delegations suggested that the agenda of the Working Group be revised.", "It was also suggested that, in order to advance the work of the Working Group, targeted or series of workshops, including States and competent intergovernmental bodies, work informally on a “without prejudice” basis, with a view to considering a range of options to address the issues discussed and to gain a clearer understanding of consensus and differences. It was noted that at such a workshop all future options could be considered, including implementation of the agreement or other action to be taken in the absence of the agreement. It was suggested that the workshops would prepare a report, which would be circulated to all Member States and submitted to the Working Group at its next meeting. The two main themes suggested for consideration by the Workshop were marine genetic resources and conservation and management tools beyond areas of national jurisdiction, in particular marine protected areas and environmental impact assessments. Some delegations commented on the need to determine whether the workshops should be formally organized by the General Assembly or informally organized by States.", "46. Other delegations called for intersessional work to explore options so that practical measures could be adopted at the next meeting of the Working Group.", "47. It was noted that, while a consensus approach was being developed, immediate action should also be considered to enable the exchange of information, capacity-building and transfer of marine technology.", "48. With regard to marine genetic resources, it was stressed that the discussion should focus on the normative mechanisms for the use of marine genetic resources, including the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of their utilization. Some delegations considered that the Nagoya Protocol and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture could serve as a basis for the development of benefit-sharing arrangements.", "49. The view was expressed that the meeting should focus on the conservation and status of research on marine genetic resources, possible other relevant marine scientific research standards or guidelines and opportunities for capacity-building and training programmes. It was also stressed that special consideration should be given to the latest science of marine genetic resources and the possible development of global access standards and definitions of benefits.", "50. With regard to marine protected areas, it was suggested that the discussion on the topic should consider: the identification of the competent authority responsible for the designation and management of marine protected areas; the legal implications for third parties of the designation of protected areas; the identification of objectives and activities within the designated area that were permitted and prohibited or restricted; the identification of means of implementation and the duration of implementation in each area; consideration of the distribution of marine protected areas with a view to ensuring the conservation of migratory species; the consideration of vulnerable marine ecosystems and related stocks; the adoption and adoption of an integrated approach to the protection and preservation of biodiversity; the identification of threats to marine ecosystems, taking into account the need to protect species currently not covered by any existing mechanism; the consideration of coordination mechanisms of States and intergovernmental organizations to identify ecologically or biologically significant areas that could be designated as marine protected areas; and financial systems. It was also noted that other existing mechanisms could be considered within the framework of the International Maritime Organization, in particular the designation of particularly sensitive sea areas.", "51. The view was expressed that international efforts should focus on the identification of areas where protection was needed by applying the scientific criteria for the identification of ecologically and biologically important marine areas in need of protection for open ocean and deep sea habitats, as well as the scientific guidance for the establishment of representative networks of marine protected areas, including open ocean and deep sea habitats, in selected areas, in accordance with the Convention on Biological Diversity and the International Guidelines for the Management of Deep Ocean Fisheries in the High Seas of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Satisfaction was expressed with the progress made in developing harmonized criteria for identifying ecologically and biologically significant areas and vulnerable marine ecosystems in those instruments.", "52. A review of experiences, including lessons learned, with regard to marine protected areas beyond areas of national jurisdiction was also suggested. It was emphasized that consideration should be given to how to establish, monitor and measure the effectiveness of those regions in a transparent manner.", "53. It was reiterated that marine protected areas needed to be clearly demarcated, that there was a strong causal link between the damage being addressed and management measures that should be flexible and adaptive, and that measures consistent with international law, including respect for the sovereignty of coastal States over their continental shelf, were implemented, complied with and enforced, as stated in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. It was suggested that bilateral or multilateral agreements could be entered into for the establishment of protected areas.", "54. Some delegations suggested the global use of environmental impact assessments and strategic environmental assessments, including cumulative impacts, already used by regional fisheries management organizations and regional seas organizations. Reference was also made to the process established by the General Assembly in paragraph 119 of its resolution 64/72 on the impacts of bottom fisheries on vulnerable marine ecosystems. It was proposed that there be a better understanding of current and projected activities in areas beyond national jurisdiction that could lead to significant and harmful changes in the marine environment. It was emphasized that the exchange of information on how States were implementing their obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and assessing the possible impact of those activities should be enhanced. Consideration should also be given to opportunities for the international community to promote the implementation of these obligations within the Working Group or in other sectoral forums.", "55. Some delegations called for further efforts to establish new regional fisheries management organizations and strengthen existing ones. It was also noted that the mandates of existing regional fisheries management organizations should be updated.", "56. The view was expressed that coordinated regional efforts by agencies were essential for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. In that regard, the view was expressed that further coordination of regional and international processes was needed to identify priority areas. Given the multiplicity of existing international bodies and forums dealing with marine biodiversity, a cross-sectoral approach was also considered necessary.", "Identification of key issues and issues, with more detailed background studies to assist national consideration of these issues", "Some delegations were of the view that there were always problems requiring further study. This should not, however, delay action, in particular the precautionary approach to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. In that regard, they suggested that the item on the identification of key issues and issues should be removed from the agenda of future sessions of the Working Group, as more detailed background studies would assist national consideration of those issues. Other delegations stressed the importance of discussing the topic, arguing that the more progress the Working Group had made, the more it had to address the complex technical issues raised by the topic under review.", "58. The Co-Chairs of the Working Group recommended that the Secretary-General be requested to prepare, in cooperation with competent international organizations and bodies, a list of existing instruments on marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction. However, the Working Group did not consider this proposal for lack of time.", "[1] ^ (*) A/66/50.", "[2] ^(*) This summary is for information purposes only and is not a record of the discussions." ]

[ "2011年第二届常会", "2011年9月6日至9日，纽约", "临时议程项目2", "财务、预算和行政事项", "2012-2013年度开发署机构概算", "署长的报告", "摘要", "本文载有开发署按成果预算格式编制的2012-2013年度机构概算和相关建议。它是执行局第2007/32号、第2008/15号、第2009/9号和第2011/14号决定核准的开发署2008-2013年延伸战略计划和中期审查的基础，并是它们的一个组成部分。本文也是根据开发署2011年4月启动的机构变革议程起草的。", "概算是根据执行局第2010/32和2011/10号决定提出的。这些决定核准根据开发署、人口基金和联合国儿童基金会(儿基会)采用统一预算的联合路线图，采用统一方法对费用进行分类和按成果编制预算。", "开发署2012-2013年度机构概算与执行局第2010/1号决定核可的毛额为9.809亿美元的2010-2011年度预算相比，减少1.201亿美元(12.3%)，这是前所未有的。非酌处费用增加3 110万美元(3.2%)，拟议投资增加4 000万美元(4.1%)，部分抵消上述减少，结果预算净减4 930万美元(5%)。这反映了不断需要执行预算纪律。这也说明必须继续对开发署投资，以确保对交给开发署使用的资源负责，并对战略计划中期审查核可的订正结果负责。因此，以毛额计，2012-2013年度开发署机构概算为9.319亿美元。预计收入将增加30万美元，可冲抵概算毛额，故收入冲抵总额增至7 540万美元。因此，以净额计，2012-2013年度开发署机构概算为8.565亿美元。", "此外，同过去两个预算期一样，署长要求在2012-2013年度拥有在需要时至多可从经常资源中拨款1 500万美元用于安全措施的特别授权，资金只可用于安全和安保部指示规定的新出现的保安任务。", "目录", "章次 页次\n组织结构图 3\n1.战略背景 6\n2.财务背景 8\n3.战略性机构成果框架

如“开发署战略计划中期审查和署长的年度报告”(DP/2011/22)所述：“开发署为推动人类发展做出重大贡献的方式是，针对快速变化的国际和国内情况，开展支持包容性、复原力和可持续性的方案规划。”此外“开发署对人类发展的贡献在于它的发展任务贯穿各领域，并作为无所不在、不偏不倚的多边合作伙伴发挥作用。开发署利用其存在和知识的广度和深度，根据伙伴的需求和优先事项，提供量身定制的备选政策和方案，从而在国家、区域和全球范围作出贡献。”", "2. 有鉴于此，战略计划的中期审查为今后3-5年(2011-2016)确立了四个全面优先事项，这些事项跨越开发署的活动领域，在着手起草下一个战略计划(2014-2017)之际，每年都要对其进行审查和评估。这四个优先事项是：㈠ 通过加强重要有利条件，在实现千年发展目标方面加快取得进展，来促成全面、有活力的可持续增长和发展；㈡ 扩大和加强治理，为方案国提供危机支助；㈢ 加强知识分享和战略方案编制，以支持变革；㈣ 确保开发署跟上21世纪，其机构效力得到加强，联合国发展系统的总体协调得到改进。", "3. 战略计划中期审查还强调：“开发署工作人员是本组织的主要资产和骨干。”审查强调，需要进一步加强战略性人力资源管理，使技能组合和工作人员队伍符合机构的需要。这对一个建立在知识基础上的提供政策咨询服务和推动人类发展的机构至关重要。开发署正在制定一项人员能力战略，以确定其未来工作人员队伍的人数、形态和技能组合。为了做到人员、时间和地点匹配得当，将通过职业技能发展、领导才能和监测方案，在政策、方案和机构服务领域建立和支持职业发展，并辅以适当鼓励措施。", "4. 署长于2011年4月启动的开发署“机构变革议程”预期将会给本机构注入新的活力，以成功实施战略计划中期审查的各项建议。为此，将进一步加强开发署作为一个建立在知识基础上的着眼于解决问题的世界机构的作用，帮助发展中国家进行变革，并帮助为此发挥整个联合国发展系统的力量。变革议程确认，恢复机构活力是开发署的一个高度优先事项，特别是鉴于发展合作领域正在发生迅速和大规模的变革，并提出了多边合作、特别是开发署目前发挥哪些作用的问题。该议程确认，开发署必须：更集中注意最需要哪些服务和哪些领域最需要服务；提高工作质量和效力的一致性；更灵活地保持它在多方参与的发展领域中的领导作用。", "5. 变革议程的基础是在三个跨部门领域改善职能和成果：内部治理；机构效力；领导才能、文化和行为。更具体地说，变革议程的预期成果是：", "(a) 培养进行战略规划和管理的文化和能力，根据明确的优先事项使用资源和采取行动；", "(b) 根据各国不同的需要提供服务；", "(c) 一支拥有最新技能的工作人员队伍，提供最佳同行机构能够提供的政策咨询；", "(d) 方案的设计和管理透明，符合设计、质量、费用和领导才能方面的标准；", "(e) 业务和履约程序速度更快，成本更低，质量更高；", "(f) 加强同现有伙伴的合作，与全球南部和其他利益攸关方伙伴关系产生重大改变。", "6. 在2012-2013年度，开发署的最高优先事项除了制定2014-2017年度战略计划外，是在执行局2011/14号决定的指导下加速实施“机构变革议程”。因此，2012-2013年度的机构概算和署长的有关提议将直接支持战略计划的制定和变革议程，具体通过以下三个主要途径：㈠ 实现机构的战略成果，作为实现发展战略成果的先决条件和基础，并做到相互促进；㈡ 继续对机构进行战略投资；㈢ 寻找更多机会来提高业务效果和效率。最终，总的目标是更快地“把开发署的业绩从良好提升到优秀”，以便最大限度帮助方案国在实地实现发展目标。", "7. 把开发署的业绩从良好提升到优秀是一个永无止境的动态进程。开发署要做到尽其所能，就要不断对自己做出改进和投资。开发署要切实满足日益复杂的需求，就要改变过去的一刀切做法，按需要提供不同的服务。开发署要继续代表联合国系统有效协调发展活动，就要有不同的结构和在各国有不同的派驻，而不是照搬一个模式。开发署要迅速在战略上确定轻重缓急并把足够的资源用到最需要的地方，在分配资源时就要有可预测性和灵活性。总而言之，要有一个处于战略地位、有足够资金和灵活的开发署，它能够与各种发展伙伴合作，有效帮助广大方案国找到可行的政策选择和具体计划，预见到人类发展将面临的多种复杂挑战并据此采取行动。", "8. 2012-2013年度机构预算是战略计划的一个组成部分。战略计划核准的订正后机构战略成果框架体现了第2010/32号决定核可的统一费用分类，根据第2011/10号决定提出了计划性管理、联合国发展协调、发展实效和特别目标方面的成果及指标。这是2012-2013年度机构预算成果规划和预算编制的中心环节，第23至83段和表2中将作详细说明。同样，2012-2013年度机构预算全面列入了战略计划中期审查核可的2012-2013经常资源和其他资源的高层资源预测。第10至22段所述和表1所列2012-2013年度资源计划概算数额和拟议数额就是据此提出的。", "9. “从2014年起采用综合预算的路线图”是全面实现预算透明和统一的指南，也是实现与儿基会和人口基金的最佳协调和可比性的指南。实现这一目标的途径是，在费用分类、成果预算编制、成本回收以及预算内容的编写和列报各方面改进方法。开发署准备按执行局第2011/10号决定和执行局联合非正式协商所述，从2014年起提出综合预算，在非正式协商中讨论了路线图的内容、方向和执行日期。综合预算最终将把目前机构预算中的机构成果规划和资源以及目前方案编制安排中的发展成果规划和资源并入一个规划和预算框架。", "二. 财务背景", "概览", "10. 表1显示2012-2013年度的资源计划。为了提供所掌握的2010年和2011年最新数据，将2010年的实际数与2011年的订正估计数合并列出，以供比较。这些数字取自于总表1，该表按执行局要求，将第2010/1号决定核可的2010-2011年度资源计划和2010年度实际数和2011年度订正数、合并估计数做了比较。", "11. 表1显示，战略计划中期审查核定2012-2013年度经常资源捐款估计数为21.5亿美元。这比2010-2011年度收入预测数19.7亿美元名义上增加了1.8亿美元。但与总表1显示的2010-2011年度最初计划的经常资源捐款23.5亿美元相比，减少了2亿美元。", "12. 开发署需要一个足够、可预测的经常资源基础，以执行其任务，在支持方案国实现发展目标过程中维持其多边、公正和普遍的性质。人们普遍讨论了恢复联合国发展活动的增长和加强定期为活动提供资金的可预测性问题，包括在最近进行的三年度全面政策审查中和在与此相关的大会第56/201、59/250和62/208号决议中。但是，全球经济危机和变化不定的汇率继续带来挑战，特别是对开发署的战略方向和可持续性带来挑战。如果自愿捐款数额达不到DP/2011/22号文件所列订正综合资源框架规定的目标，就会危及战略计划。受捐款不足影响的不仅仅是开发署，因为资金短缺也威胁到开发署代表联合国系统维持一个强有力的全球平台和在各国派驻人员的能力。", "13. 鉴于上述情况，署长建议，与第2010/1号决定核可的毛额为9.809亿美元的2010-2011年预算相比，减少1.201亿美元(12.3%)，这样幅度的减少是前所未有的。上述减少冲抵非酌处费用增加的3 110万美元(3.2%)和拟议投资增加的4 000万美元(4.1%)，结果是预算净减4 930万美元(5%)。2012-2013年度机构拟议预算毛额为9.319亿美元，预计将会有75.4亿美元的收入可作抵补，因此2012-2013年度机构拟议预算净额为8.565亿美元。", "14. 上述建议强调，需要通过控制管理费用和提高效率来节制预算，这样做又可将尽可能多的资源用于发展活动。预计这一建议最终会实现适当平衡，确保对交给开发署使用的资源有最大程度的问责，取得延伸战略计划规定的成果。", "15. 毛额减少1.201亿美元是署长核批的机构缩编战略的成果，以做到合理和公平分摊资源的缩减。建议的核减涉及：㈠ 提高业务实效，包括冻结职位；㈡ 完成2010-2012年度拨资的一次性投资；㈢ 将费用转到预算外资源，以便按执行局在第2005/33、2006/30、2007/18、2008/1和2010/1号决定中一再提出的要求，更好地分散负担；㈣ 增加集中管理费用分计的透明度。署长认为，要消化所述1.201亿美元以外的削减，就会对开发署产生不利影响，影响开发署通过普遍派驻机构和人员执行发展和协调双重任务的成功。", "16. 法定费用估计数增加3 110万美元，主要是由于通货膨胀对工作地点差价调整数以及其他福利支出和正常职等内加薪数额产生的影响。这些费用的增加是通过国际公务员制度委员会(公务员制度委员会)颁布的联合国全系统标准、指令和计算产生的。因此不能酌处，必须照办。", "17. 署长根据战略计划规定的组织优先事项和需要，确定了数个2012-2013年的重点投资领域。下文概述这些投资领域，详细内容见第96至118段：", "(a) 实施变革议程，注重加强内部战略规划和管理能力，并改进成果管理作法，以支持拟定下一个战略计划和成果框架；", "(b) 按照变革议程，加强战略人力资源管理，注重工作队伍和工作分析以及人才管理；", "(c) 加大对脆弱过渡国家的支助，注重南苏丹和阿拉伯国家区域；", "(d) 拟定全球发展议程，注重加快实现千年发展目标的速度，筹备联合国可持续发展(里约+20)大会，以及实施“国际援助透明度倡议”；", "(e) 加强机构增值服务和问责，重点是《国际公共部门会计准则》(《公共部门会计准则》)的采用、战略业务信息、精简业务程序以及加强调查能力。", "资源预测", "18.

战略计划是开发署唯一的总体成果框架。机构预算是根据战略性机构成果框架和框架中高层有关2012-2013年的资源预测制订的，并与之完全相符。表2列报2012-2013年机构预算估计数，估计数与下文所述计划产出直接挂钩。从2014年开始，开发署将采用综合预算，用一个经常资源成果和预算框架，来涵盖机构预算目前开列的机构成果和资源以及方案拟定安排目前开列的发展成果和资源。", "24. 2012-2013年机构预算是协同人口基金和儿基会一起编制的，并不断接受执行局的指导。因此，2012-2013年机构预算为2014年起开始采用综合预算奠定了基础，符合近期在与执行局进行联合非正式讨论中讨论和确认的开发署、人口基金和儿基会有关“综合预算路线图”的联合非正式说明。", "25. 更具体地说，2012-2013年机构预算全面采用第2009/22号决定核准并由第2010/32号决定进一步修订和统一的费用分类。该预算还全面采用第2011/10号决定核准的统一成果预算编制办法，其中包括：㈠ 更注重成果，并与延伸战略计划的订正战略性机构成果框架全面挂钩；㈡ 采用职能组，加强2012-2013年拟议预算与相应的计划战略性机构成果之间的联系；㈢ 使用统一的重要预算表格，包括：资源计划(表1)；2010-2011年支出计划数与实数/估计数的比较(总表1)；2012-2013年拟议预算估计数(表2)完全符合下文所述订正战略性机构成果框架。", "成果预算编制", "26. 机构成果框架为实现战略计划中的发展成果提供支撑和直接支持。该框架涵盖管理、联合国发展协调、特殊目的和发展实效各领域的预定战略性机构活动，所有这些活动是开发署借以满足方案国对发展和协调服务需要的业务基础。机构成果框架内的各项活动和职能是相辅相成的。它们还与发展成果框架有固有的联系，因为它们直接支持为按需交付发展服务营造一个有利环境。", "27. 例如，人力资源有关活动列在管理项下，管理局人力资源处(人力处)投入大量时间和资源，及时评估、征聘和安置合格的驻地协调员候选人，驻地协调员的时间主要列在联合国发展协调项下。同样，管理局安保办公室的费用开列在管理项下，它投入大量时间和资源，评估和加强开展发展与协调活动的总体安全环境。", "28. 机构成果框架的周期为：㈠ 规划战略性机构成果；㈡ 选择相关指标、基线和目标；㈢ 拨付和分配实现战略性机构成果的资源；㈣ 实施和监测计划活动；㈤ 报告已实现的实际成果。", "29. 原则上，规划战略性机构成果以及选择指标、基线和目标在拟定战略计划时进行。对于2012-2013年机构预算，上述活动在2008-2013年延伸战略计划的中期审查期间进行。拨付和分配资源在2012-2013年机构预算活动内进行。计划活动的开展和监测工作在年度综合单位工作规划活动内进行。在这方面，每个单位编写一份年度综合工作计划，说明要实现的成果以及需要的投入和资源。这为管理人员和工作人员监测自己的活动提供一个客观基础。年度综合工作计划基本上是根据战略计划提出的成果制订当地。署长在有关战略计划的年度报告中，汇报计划成果与已实现成果的对比情况。年度财务报表和“财务状况年度审查”根据核准的费用类别列报各项支出。", "30. 每一项战略性机构成果有一个牵头单位或一组牵头单位，该单位被指定为主持者，负责：㈠ 拟定成果；㈡ 界定“SMART”指标(具体、可计量、可实现、相关和有时限)；㈢ 确认基线；㈣ 确定目标；㈤ 报告成果。实现战略性机构成果的责任不是只由主持单位承担。这样的责任可能与数个非主持单位分担，或由整个组织承担。", "31. 为每一个战略性机构成果分配大体按组织单位安排的活动职能组。这便于在计划成果与成功实现这些成果所需要的资源(组织单位的费用)之间建立和加强透明的联系，表2对此予以列报，下文也有详细说明。开发署、人口基金和儿基会相互统一了7个经常性管理成果的职能组，使其有合理的可比性。其他所有职能组则是各机构特有的。", "表2 按战略计划机构产出分列的拟议预算估计数[1]", "(百万美元，名义额)", "经济资源

930万美元，即5.0%。因此，提出2012-2013年机构预算毛额9.319亿美元，其中收入预计抵消7 540万美元，因此2012-2013年的机构预算净额为8.565亿美元。详情见表3，以下各段也有阐述。", "费用增加", "85. 表3中提出费用净增3 110万美元，比2010-2011年核准的批款毛额增加3.2%，表明需增加非可控名义费用，在2012-2013年间为开发署的组织结构、职能和活动提供经费。这远远低于2010-2011年间费用增加额9 150万美元，即增加10.7%。它也低于2008-2009年期间(15.1%)和2006-2007年期间(13.5%)的费用增加额。", "86. 造成相关费用调整的主要因素如下：", "(a) 费用净增1 740万美元，原因是通胀对以下各项产生影响：国际和总部当地工作人员的工作地点调整数和其他应享待遇；本国干事和国家办事处当地工作人员应享待遇；业务费用；", "(b) 由于国际工作人员和总部当地工作人员的职等内加薪以及联合国规定的本国干事及国家办事处当地工作人员薪金调整调查的结果，造成薪金待遇净增1 200万美元；", "(c)

针对执行局成员表达的关切，考虑到当前的全球经济危机，署长将通过进一步控制和更好地调整机构费用，继续优先注重执行预算纪律的必要性。通过采用三管齐下的办法，实现了实际数额减少1.201亿美元，即比2010-2011年核定预算批款毛额减少了12.3%。首先，要求各组织单位提高整体的业务实效，消除多余和不必要的服务和活动，确定可以削减的优先程度较低的职能，包括冻结员额(3 060万美元)。其次，在机构一级，在中央管理费用(5 520万美元)划归问题上，在单位一级，在经常预算和预算外资源更好地分担负担(1 300万美元)的问题上，查明改进费用调整的机会。最后，剔除与完成资本投资和其他投资相关的所有费用(2 130万美元)。", "89. 鉴于上述情况，拟议削减非工作人员费用9 600万美元。削减是通过以下各项措施实现的：提高业务效益(1 240万美元)；在中央管理费用(5 520万美元)的划归方面改进费用调整，转向预算外资源(7 100万美元)；完成资本和其他投资(2 130万美元)。", "90. 还提出削减工作人员费用2 410万美元，涉及88个员额：33个 国际专业人员员额和55个当地员额。削减是通过以下各项措施实现的：提高业务效益，包括冻结或裁撤员额(1 820万美元)，转向预算外资源(590万美元)。员额减少如下：", "(a) 冻结员额：20个国际专业人员员额和23个当地员额；", "(b) 裁撤员额：4个国际专业人员员额和14个当地员额；", "(c) 转向预算外资源的员额：9个国际专业人员员额和18个当地员额。", "91. 更有效地提供政策和机构服务是2012-2013年期间的最重要优先事项，更加注重更快、更便宜和更好的业务流程，大大减少周转时间和完成任务必须开展的工作的相关费用，特别是在征聘和采购方面。将推出一系列具体措施来处理方案和项目流程冗长和经常缺少灵活性并经常妨碍国家办事处一级业务效率的问题。 将制订一套更适合国家有自主权的发展议程的灵活编制方案工具，作为精简办事处业务工作和减少不增加价值的繁琐官僚主义流程的第一个重要步骤。", "92. 将进一步控制差旅、咨询和通讯费用。还将考虑把整个机构开展的日常业务活动和事项由拥有相关人力资源和适当实际设施和信通技术设施的服务中心或全球中心集中进行的可行性。建立用于协助采用国际公共部门会计准则的全球共享服务中心的经验可为此提供指导。还将探讨进行外包的办法。将进一步利用信通技术结构，提高内部员工在战略和增值领域的能力。这些举措和正在考虑的其他举措最终将提高组织效率和少花钱多办事的能力。", "93. 开发署管理的以下方面的相关费用大都是由经常资源提供的：联合国秘书处提供的服务、共同资助的联合国系统活动、离职后健康保险、安保、信息和通信技术以及学习活动，因为经常资源是开发署大多数工作人员的经费来源。然而，随着来自费用分摊和信托基金的其他资源有所增加，其他资源提供经费的开发署工作人员人数及其管理费用在中央和本地一级都有所增加。", "94. 有鉴于此，为实现提高预算透明度和改进费用的划归，已推出一项机构举措，以根据工作人员人数和经费总额，按相应的资金来源加强集中管理的这些费用的分配。已通过不断对开发署的阿特拉斯企业资源规划系统投资和连续升级做到这一点，更好地利用和管理人事数据。为采用公共部门会计准则进行的分析也起到促进作用。因此，已确定以下方面的5 520万美元的费用可以进行更好的划归：联合国秘书处提供的服务以及参加联合国系统共同资助活动的费用(990万美元)；离职后健康保险(900万美元)；安保(2 570万美元)；信息和通信技术、学习及离职费用(1 060万美元)。", "95. 此外，开发署进行的若干投资使它受益，增加了投资价值。已不再需要支付与这些投资的某些(资本和非经常)费用。因此，已确定以下方面总共削减2 130万美元：大会授权进行的人力资源合同改革活动和公共部门会计准则筹备活动(950万美元)；知识管理投资(670万美元)以及阿特拉斯软件升级和总部新电话系统的资本投资(510万美元)。", "对组织的投资(数量增加)", "96. 提议在五个战略领域增加4 000万美元，其中包括分别为3 010万美元和990万美元的经常和非经常投资。这比2010-2011年核定拨款总额增加4.1%。提议总共新设77个职位：32个国际专业人员职位和45个当地职位。具体确定所有拟议的投资，并将其列入其相应的计划战略产出中，见关于战略性机构成果框架的第3章的有关论述。下文简要阐述了准备按照第17段开列的五个战略领域进行的投资。", "实施变革议程", "97. 在各区域局和中央局内加强战略规划和管理能力是顺利实施变革议程一个极其重要的先决条件。更具体地说，变革议程明确确定了各局的责任，包括：㈠ 在区域一级执行开发署的决定，各局都采纳这些决定；㈡ 有效地执行方案；㈢ 按照本组织的优先事项分拨资源；㈣ 监督方案质量，报告结果，并遵守机构规定；㈤ 在区域和全球开展外联工作。", "98. 战略规划和管理的重点是做到更有前瞻性。系统监测区域和全球情况应能有助于制定高质量的国家、区域和全球方案，全面考虑到开发署的战略优先事项，使开发署处于更有利的地位。 通过定期分析方案的组合，应能查明长处和短处，发现新的机会，为监测计划成果提供依据，以便分拨资源，支持有效执行方案，预先采取措施解决业绩不佳问题。这些活动最终应提高能力，系统地规划、提供和及时监测对国家办事处的支持，包括评估由中央局提供政策和机构服务的需求。", "99. 同时，将通过在发展政策局设立一个由首席经济学家领导的战略政策小组，使开发署进一步注重政策领导。该小组将就全球政策问题和新的趋势及其对国家和区域方案的影响，提供综合咨询意见。小组还将负责按照开发署的优先事项，制订和协调开发署的综合策略。", "100. 在落实关于战略计划中期审查的第2011/14号决定时，开发署务必在工作的各个方面加强注重成果管理的做法，调整战略计划成果框架和内部的数据收集系统，以便在各国和各方案中采纳更加系统和有比较性的成果数据。与此同时，开发署需要借鉴建立成果链的国际最佳做法，建立一个强有力的新成果框架，为下一个战略计划期(2014-2017年)打下基础。这项工作要求进行广泛的统计研究和分析，以便处理物有所值、组织效益以及成果与资源之间的联系等问题。", "101. 有鉴于此，署长提议用经常资源投资680万美元，支持变革议程的执行，其中：㈠ 动用500万美元，通过设立10个国际专业人员职位，直接支持加强战略规划和管理能力；㈡ 动用80万美元，通过设立1个D-2首席经济学家和1个支助工作人员职位，直接支持政策领导；㈢ 动用100万美元，为改善整个开发署成果管理的各个方面提供重要支持，以拟订下一个战略规划和成果框架。", "加强战略性人力资源管理", "102. 人的管理是变革议程的基石。变革议程打算对组织文化实行重大改革：建立一个战略上能够胜任、适应性强、有工作人员参与、业绩良好并具有共同的原则和价值观的组织。需要加强人才管理和人力资源规划工具与系统：制定人的能力建设战略，确定不同类型办事处所需要的技能，改进业务流程。", "103. 大会第63/250号决议规定根据一套统一工作人员条例做出新的人力资源合同安排。由于进行合同改革，开发计划署目前管理的国际专业工作人员增加了1 200人。相应的长期任用和定期任用的人数有所增加，离职和新任用的人数也有所增加。这种情况增加了工作量，现有数额的工作人员无法承担。在中央一级顺利消除目前积压的工作和在单位一级充分加强工作人员能力前，也无法实行权力下放。", "104. 有鉴于此，署长提议用经常资源投资400万美元。这些资源将用于：", "(a) 设立4个国际专业人员职位，专门进行简化流程、人力资源和职业分析、系统设计、职业发展以及调停和调解工作；", "(b) 优先进行业务流程的重新设计，以便人力资源管理人员有更多的时间来履行战略职能，包括人才和继任的管理以及加快征聘工作；", "(c) 设立2个国际专业人员职位和8个当地职位，以承担合同改革带来的额外工作量，有效地管理相关的风险。", "增加对脆弱过渡国家的支持", "105. 开发署预防危机和复原工作的首要目标仍然是提高各国防止或减轻危机带来的风险的能力，同时支持快速复原工作，以促进各国的可持续发展。在2012-2013年期间，一些危急情况需要开发署提供支持：包括南苏丹和阿拉伯国家区域。", "106. 在预定2011年7月9日实现分离后，南苏丹将面临建设国家的工作，要求开发署的方案重新注重以下方面：㈠ 善政和国家建设；㈡ 预防危机和复原；㈢ 包容性增长和经济发展。朱巴现有的分办事处将变成一个正式国家办事处。它将有足够的管理、方案编制和业务能力来执行一个复杂的多层面方案。", "107. 同样，阿拉伯国家区域正发生的转变要求开发署重新提供和调整它的支持。就充分反应公民意愿的转变而言，新的政治模式需要促进经济、社会和政治包容。当前政治局势不可预测，加之该区域国家履行的职能的突然减少，因此需要迅速做出反应，满足人民的当前需要，同时为长期政治转变铺平道路。因此，需要调整国家方案，以满足转变的需要，要加强国家办事处的能力，以便根据需要进行管理，支持方案执行工作和提供咨询服务。", "108. 有鉴于此，署长提议动用经常资源投资420万美元，通过设立以下职位支持转变中的脆弱国家：㈠ 在苏丹南方设立1个D-2职等的高级国家主任和6个本国干事和当地员额；㈡ 在也门设立1个D-2职等的高级国家主任；㈢ 鉴于整个区域同时发生多个危机，在阿拉伯国家区域设立1个D-1职等的转变小组组长，以协调支助工作。开发署还要为伊拉克国家办事处分阶段从安曼搬迁到巴格达提供支助。", "确定全球发展议程", "109. 2011年1月开发署启动了千年发展目标的突破战略，包括建立一个加速实现千年发展目标的框架(千年目标加速框架)。千年目标加速框架是开发署在进展明显滞后的国家加速实现千年发展目标的框架。它已在10个国家试行，编写出了高质量的千年目标加速框架行动计划。联合国发展集团其后认可了这种做法。此外，千年发展目标首脑会议已在一定程度上促使国际社会商定，有必要进一步加快实现千年发展目标的进展，其中的一个具体做法是使政府和发展伙伴更明确的商定根据千年目标加速框架行动计划预定开展的活动。这些计划重点关注阻碍加速取得进展的政策、投资和能力方面的瓶颈问题，特别是消除性别、收入和地域方面的重大差异。开发署建议支持在2012-2013年期间再制定12个千年目标加速框架国家行动计划。", "110. 由于开发署拥有独特的全球使命，因此要求它在可持续发展会议(里约+20会议)筹备工作中发挥积极主动作用。该会议将讨论后千年发展目标时期的最重要问题：如何制订今后实现可持续增长的全球蓝图，同时保护在贫穷、气候变化领域和其他重大部门已经取得的进展。开发署将在与联合国系统各伙伴密切协商后，收集、分析和汇总各种来源的多重实质性信息。预计这些活动将为构建全球促进发展动态体制框架作出重要贡献。", "111. 国际援助透明度举措是一个争取让人们更容易找到、利用和比较援助支出信息的多方利益攸关者的自愿举措，开发署是该举措的成员。参加举措的有捐助国、发展中国家、非政府组织和援助信息的专家。开发署已承诺采用符合成本效益的方式在内部分阶段采用国际援助透明度举措通过的透明度标准，向伙伴和公众提供质量更高的信息。这需要改变报告编写方式和制度，并需要重新调整和核对数据。", "112. 有鉴于此，署长建议用经常资源投资400万美元，其中：㈠ 200万美元用于支持12个方案国家扩大编写高质量的千年发展目标加速执行框架行动计划的工作；㈡ 100万美元用于支持里约+20会议编写一份探讨问题的文件，阐明绿色经济如何有助于实施可持续发展议程；㈢ 100万美元用于支持现有的数据、报告和系统能力的升级，以便成功地引进国际援助透明度举措通过的透明度标准。", "加强机构增值服务和问责制", "113. 大会第60/283号决议批准联合国全系统采用《国际公共部门会计准则》，以取代联合国系统的会计准则。《公共部门会计准则》被公营组织和非营利组织视为最佳做法。《公共部门会计准则》的采用将为联合国系统的财务报告和信息披露提供一个一致、可比和统一的平台，加强透明度和问责制。它还有助于提高财务条例和细则、业务惯例、政策和程序的统一性。开发署已预定2012年1月着手采用《公共部门会计准则》，目前的筹备阶段已取得了重大进展。不过，实施第一年，即2012年，仍然需要进行非经常性投资，以便稳定业务过程和工作流程；支持不断核实期初余额；进行员工福利负债的精算估值；进一步阐述报告和解释政策；为国家办事处提供用于解决问题的支助，以减少执行风险。", "114. 开发署将建立一个全球服务共享中心，主要向国家办事处提供关于处理公共部门会计准则复杂往来业务的经常性咨询服务和支助。中心预计将为实现规模效益和分享知识与最佳实践提供机会。它将设在有得合格人员的低成本地点。预计它将为讨论其他在开发署建立更快、费用更低和更好的业务流程的方法做出重大贡献。", "115. 在信息和通信技术领域，开发署已最后确定了2012-2013年路线图。路线图论述了信息和通信技术在提供战略咨询服务和机构增值服务以及在改进报告编写工作、合规履约和风险管理方面发挥的重要作用。开发署需要在2012-2013年期间进行非经常性投资，大幅度加强机构资源规划系统，以便加强阿特拉斯系统安全、人力资源管理、《公共部门会计准则》和方案管理方面的机构服务，同时提高因特网的能力。为了改进报告编写、合规履约和风险管理整体工作，开发署需要对成果管理、战略报告编写和数据归档等领域进行非经常性投资。", "116. 在2012-2013年期间，开发署需要在信息通信技术领域进行经常性投资，以便巩固和利用2010-2011年对内联网、因特网和外联网的战略投资以及对增强全组织知识管理和共享能力的投资。开发署重新设计和合并了内联网，以提高内部效率，支持内部成果和信息管理工具的合并和统一。现在通过内容管理系统来管理因特网，该系统让只有最低限度技术知识的网站持有者修改网站的内容、图像和结构。外联网为开发署提供机构平台，支持它与外部发展伙伴进行协作、知识共享、通信和联网。", "117. 审计和调查处调查股收到的投诉和调查请求的数目和复杂性大增。特别值得关注的是与欺诈和其他财务活动有关的涉嫌违规事件的比例有所增加。如果不迅速处理和解决，这些情况和必要的后续工作可能会妨碍工作人员的正常工作，影响战略工作的质量和增加值。因此，开发署认为必须增加对调查组能力的投资。", "118. 有鉴于此，署长建议用经常资源投资2 100万美元，以支持经强化的机构增值服务和问责制。其中1 000万美元将用于直接支持采用《公共部门会计准则》，380万美元为非经常性投资，620万美元为经常性投资，为全球服务共享中心提供资金，包括设立10个国际专业职位和30个当地职位。另有1 000万美元用于支持信息和通信技术活动，其中610万美元为非经常性投资，390万美元为经常性投资。此外，开发署拟对调查股进行经常性投资100万美元，用于设立两个国际专业职位。", "预算估计收入", "119. 2012-2013年机构预算估计收入总额为7 540万美元，比2010-2011年的收入增加30万美元。收入来自三个渠道：政府为支付当地办事处费用的捐款；联合国志愿人员方案向联合国组织提供志愿者产生的收入；自愿捐款并账计算，对偿还联合国工作人员支付的薪酬所得税产生的费用进行冲销。", "120. 东道国政府为支付当地办事处费用的捐款承付款估计为5 260万美元，与2010-2011年的数额相同。与志愿人员方案有关的收入预计也将维持在2010-2011年的水平(500万美元)。冲销偿还税款的数额预计将增加30万美元，使通过并账计算收回的总金额达到1 780万美元。", "政府为支付当地办事处费用的捐款", "121. 表4列出了2010年按方案国家收入类别划分的政府为支付当地办事处费用的承付款以及直接支付现金、与自愿捐款并账计算和实物捐助的实收款。承付款总额为6 290万美元，2010年的实收款为4 730万美元。其中直接支付现金和自愿捐款并账计算为3 490万美元，实物捐助为1 240万美元。这表明实收款从74%(2008年实收款4 930万美元占捐款目标6 640万美元的百分比)增加到75%(2010年实收款4 730万美元占捐款目标6 290万美元的百分比)，提高了1个百分点。", "122. 署长赞赏许多方案国家在履行政府为支付当地办事处费用的捐款义务方面作出的改进。不过，中等收入国家的履约情况仍然低于理想水平。2012-2013年，对于政府为支付当地办事处费用的捐款严重不足的国家，开发署将继续采用预扣机构预算部分资源的做法。", "表4

应根据责任的范围和复杂性的增加来设立D-2和D-1级别新员额或改叙现有员额，尤其是在国家办事处一级。开发署采用公务员制度委员会员额审查分类程序评估了有关这些高级职位的建议。职务分类的主要标准是主任级员额应行使机构领导职能。负责在国家一级主导联合国系统工作并在东道国政府宣传和推动联合国议程的驻地协调员员额以及在危机国家最复杂情况下起至关重要的领导和管理作用、包括在联合国国家工作队代表开发署的高级国家主任员额，尤其是这样。", "128. 为努力控制费用并考虑到执行局和行政和预算问题咨询委员会以前的指导意见，开发署建议2012-2013年由经常资源供资的高级员额的净变动为零。因此净减2个D-2员额，由净增2个D-1员额抵消。总表3全面列出了拟议的所有高级员额变动。", "129. 在D-2职等，拟议变动涉及冻结3个D-2员额和把3个员额从D-2改叙为D-1。还建议新设立3个D-2员额，用于苏丹南部和也门的高级总经济师和高级国家主任职位。此外，考虑到特殊政治、发展、代表性和业务情况，建议把也门驻地协调员员额从D-1职等改叙为D-2职等。", "130.

在2006-2007年预算中，通过临时改划驻地协调员员额设立了8个国家主任员额，以取代新设立的秘书长副特别代表员额。根据联合国员额结构的规定，后者的费用由开发署和联合国维持和平行动部分摊。暂时将现有的8个驻地协调员员额改划为国家主任员额被认为是对现有资源的审慎利用，也被认为是一种切合实际的临时解决办法，以回应三年期全面政策审查的建议，即开发署应加强其国家办事处应对复杂紧急情况的能力。有关秘书长副特别代表的个别安排一旦结束，国家主任临时员额应恢复为驻地协调员身份，并应力求找到设立国家主任职位的较长期解决办法。",

在过去，活动和费用的确定及其在经常资源和其他资源中的分派采用相对简单明了的方式。在政府部委和项目地点的工作人员的活动和费用被视为与方案有关，因此可向经常资源或其他资源供资的方案或项目全额收费。相比之下，开发署国家办事处工作人员的活动和费用被视为与管理有关，因此可向机构预算或预算外账户的经常资源或其他资源全额收费。由于开发署的任务不断变化，资金来自多个方面，执行安排不断变动，包括更加注重宣传和政策咨询，现在的情况显然不再是这样。", "136.　原则上，国家方案行动计划、年度项目工作计划和项目文件中界定的所有项目活动及其相关费用都分派给政府对应机构。这种国家执行/国家实施模式(NEX/NIM)假定方案国开展所有项目执行活动，并将所有项目投入转化为具体发展成果和产出。这也意味着捐助者根据国家执行/国家实施模式提供的分摊费用和信托基金资源的93%(方案国分摊费用的97%)直接用于政府部门、机关和机构的项目活动。同时意味着通过采用执行局在第2007/18号决定中批准的对一般管理服务回收7%的费用的政策，开发署将所有相关机构费用作为预算外资源全额回收。", "137.　而且，根据阐述方案国政府和开发署的作用的国家执行/国家实施问责制框架，开发署的所有监督及相关活动(即一般管理服务)应由机构预算或预算外账户供资。此外，根据开发署的政策和程序，开发署开展的所有相关实施活动均应直接记入有关项目或方案。这种方法同样适用于政府为实施伙伴和开发署为负责方的国家执行/国家实施(NEX/NIM)模式以及开发署为实施伙伴的直接实施(DIM)模式。", "138.　目前，开发署在进一步确定其他资源发挥哪些作用来协助实现机构成果和发展成果以及协助开发署整个筹资工作方面遇到三个相互关联和相互依存的挑战。第一个挑战涉及变革议程强调的问题：各国的需要不同，不能采用一刀切的办法，不能以提供服务为重点，派驻形式不能一成不变。主要通过变革议程以及国家办事处类型、项目实施方式和方案拟订安排等方面的相关举措来应对这一挑战。", "139.　第二个挑战涉及以更透明和更优的方式将费用及其供资来源分派给发展活动或机构活动。加强集中管理的费用的分派(第93至94段已讨论)以及在(上文讨论的)国家执行/国家实施(NEX/NIM)问责制框架内改进活动的申请和监测应可在很大程度上应对这一挑战。", "140.　第三个挑战是流入预算外账户的资源与机构活动供资更好地协调配合，因为机构活动支持由其他资源供资的发展活动。预算外资源基本上是通过采用费用回收政策产生的。此项政策要求至少回收所有第三方分摊费用和信托基金捐款的7%，[4] 至少回收所有政府分摊费用捐款的3%，以便资助相关机构活动(即一般管理服务)。经常资源供资的机构活动不应过分支助(补贴)由分派给其他资源的活动。同样，预算外账户中通过回收费用产生的资源不应用于资助由开发署开展的项目实施活动。改善预算外账户管理以及加强监测应可令人满意地解决这一问题。", "141.　在以往预算中，开发署双边和多边捐助资源的可变间接回收率是根据DP/2010/3中界定的基准机构概念计算的，即开发署执行核心任务必须具备的最低能力。根据开发计划署战略费用管理及所涉费用回收问题报告(DP/2004/35)和费用回收政策效力评估报告(DP/2007/36)中的费用回收方法，下文说明如何计算2012-2013年的回收率。为了进行对比，采用以往两年期采用的费用分类列报数字。", "(a) 开发署机构的两年期总费用：11.69亿美元；[5]", "(b) (减)基准机构：–5.38亿美元；[6]", "(c) 可变间接费用：6.31亿美元。", "142.　这样做是为了由经常资源(20.5%)和双边/多边捐助资源(79.5%)[7] 按比例为6.31亿美元的可变间接费用供资，费用分派如下：", "(a) 分派给经常资源：1.29亿美元(6.31亿美元的20.5%)；", "(b) 分派给双边/多边捐助资源：5.02亿美元(6.31亿美元的79.5%)；", "(c) 可变间接费用总额：6.31亿美元。", "143.　双边和多边捐助资源的间接费用回收率原则上是通过以下方式得出的：㈠ 用分派给这些捐助资源的可变间接费用5.02亿美元㈡ 除以相应的双边/多边计划捐助方案开支数额74.94亿美元(表1，第2A.1款，“方案”)。得出间接费用回收率为6.70%(5.02亿美元/74.94亿美元＝0.0670)。", "144.　在服务和派驻形式日趋不同的情况下，最初在2004-2005年预算中批准的上述办法对于确定如何在经常资源和其他资源之间公平分摊机构费用可能不再适用。因此，将在各机构间把基准机构和相关费用回收政策作为2014年起采用综合预算的联合路线图的一部分，重新进行讨论。", "总表1 2010-2011年资源计划与实际数/估计数的比较[8]", "(单位：百万美元，名义金额)",

开发署采用着眼于成果的做法编制了机构预算，根据要实现的成果，而不是投入类别或宽泛的战略目标，提出拨款要求。首先，在战略计划的中期审查范围内制订机构成果框架。然后评估组织交付成果的能力，确定哪些优先领域需要额外投资或新投资，并确定减少投资的领域。由此产生的预算按2012-2013年情况列报，列入货币和通货膨胀因素和对薪水和与应享待遇做出的调整。", "确定机构成果", "2. 机构预算是根据战略计划中期审查提出的相同机构成果、业绩指标、基线和目标编制的。为了对完成计划成果负责，为每个机构成果指定了担任“机构主持者”的单位。机构主持者负责领导制订成果——挑选业绩指标及确定基线和目标——的工作，还负责监测、评估和向高级管理层报告比照这些成果的业绩情况。总部和国家办事处一级的有关业务单位负责交付计划成果。", "评估组织能力和确定数量变化", "3. 制订机构预算的第二步是评估交付管理成果的组织能力，以确定哪些优先领域需要投资和哪些领域可以提高效率。在这一评估的基础之上，用现有的组织能力作为基数，算出所需经费的实际增减数，这就是数量变化。如定义所示，数量变化是估计数中可以控制的要素，但要根据行政首长估计本组织交付它承诺交付的成果需要多少经费来确定。数量变化是按与核定批款相同的价格进行计算的，以便于同目前核定基数进行比较。", "各种费用调整", "4. 在核定批款和数量变化的基础上，加上费用的增加或减少数；出现增减是因为主要是与薪酬和相关应享待遇费用调整有关的费率或条件有变化。费用的增减往往反映了编写上一机构预算后的两年期间已经发生的变化。这些费用因素包括：公务员制度委员会关于工作人员各种应享待遇(如扶养津贴和教育补助金)的决定，以及员额职等内平均级数的变化情况。如果组织的情况许可，这些调整也可包括工作人员等内加薪的估计数。此类费用调整一般涉及人事费，但并不仅限于此。譬如，每平方英尺价格因房地搬迁出现的变化就属于这类业务费用调整范畴。", "币值调整", "5. 然后按核定批款、数量及各种费用调整的总额，逐年计算币值调整。币值调整是现机构预算编制期间的联合国实际业务汇率与拟议预算编制期间实际汇率之间的差额。这一因素尤为重要，因为开发署国家办事处很多，各地业务费用因美元的坚挺或疲软而有很大波动。", "通货膨胀调整", "6. 为了完成全部工作，编制出下一个两年期所需经费最后估计数，开发署必须对四年内的通货膨胀作出调整或估算。按年度根据核定批款、数量及各种费用调整数的总额，在计入货币因素后计算出这些调整额，具体做法如下：", "(a) 现两年期第一年至拟议的两年期第一年。现有通货膨胀估计数已经包含以前的估计数。因此，过渡时期通货膨胀调整包括：", "㈠ 实施以前估计数与现两年期第一年实际通货膨胀之间的差额；", "㈡ 实施以前估计数与现两年期第二年通货膨胀订正预测数之间的差额；", "㈢ 拟议的两年期第一年通货膨胀预测数。", "(b) 现两年期第二年至拟议的两年期第二年：", "㈠ 与上文(a)项相同；", "㈡ 与上文(a)项相同；", "㈢ 与上文(a)项相同；", "㈣ 拟议的两年期第二年的通货膨胀预测数。", "7. 为了算出这些通货膨胀估计数，每个地点每年采用四个通货膨胀系数：", "(a) 国际专业工作人员工作地点差价调整数的估计变动情况；", "(b) 国际专业工作人员的国际差旅费和一般人事费(所有地点都一样)；", "(c) 当地工作人员(即本国干事、一般事务人员及其它职类)的薪金及一般人事费，各个地点之间可能有很大差异；", "(d) 所有其它费用，例如业务费用。", "8.

[ "Second regular session 2011", "6 to 9 September 2011, New York", "Item 2 of the provisional agenda", "Financial, budgetary and administrative matters", "UNDP institutional budget estimates for 2012-2013 Report of the Administrator", "Summary", "The present document contains the UNDP institutional budget estimates and related proposals for 2012-2013 in the results-based format. It underpins and forms an integral part of the extended UNDP strategic plan, 2008‑2013, and of the midterm review, as approved by the Executive Board in decisions 2007/32, 2008/15, 2009/9 and 2011/14. It is also informed by the UNDP agenda for organizational change launched in April 2011.", "The estimates were formulated in line with Executive Board decisions 2010/32 and 2011/10. These decisions approved the harmonized approaches for cost classification and results-based budgeting within the context of the joint road map to an integrated budget for UNDP, UNFPA and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).", "The UNDP institutional budget estimates for 2012-2013 reflect an unprecedented level of $120.1 million, or 12.3 per cent in volume reductions, in comparison to the 2010-2011 gross budget of $980.9 million approved in Executive Board decision 2010/1. These reductions offset $31.1 million (3.2 per cent) in non-discretionary cost increases and $40 million (4.1 per cent) in proposed investments, resulting in a net budget reduction of $49.3 million or 5.0 per cent. This reflects the ongoing need to exercise budgetary discipline. This also acknowledges the importance of continually investing in the organization in order to ensure accountability for the resources placed at the disposal of UNDP, as well as for the revised results approved in the midterm review of the strategic plan. Thus, in gross terms, the UNDP institutional budget estimates for 2012-2013 are $931.9 million. An increase of $0.3 million in income that offsets the gross budget estimates is also projected, raising total income offsets to $75.4 million. Thus, in net terms, the UNDP institutional budget estimates for 2012‑2013 are $856.5 million.", "In addition, as has been the case in the past two budgetary periods, the Administrator requests exceptional authority during 2012-2013 to disburse, if needed, up to $15 million in regular resources for security measures, the use of which would be limited to new and emerging security mandates as defined in United Nations Department of Safety and Security directives.", "Contents", "Chapter\tPage\n Organizational chart 3\n I.

As stated in the “Midterm review of the UNDP strategic plan and annual report of the Administrator” (DP/2011/22): “UNDP’s primary contribution to advancing human development is through programming that supports inclusiveness, resilience and sustainability in the face of fast-changing international and national conditions.” Furthermore, “UNDP’s contribution to human development rests on its cross-cutting development mandate and on its role as an impartial multilateral partner offering universal presence. It contributes in country, regional and global arenas, drawing on both the breadth and the depth of its presence and knowledge to offer policy and programmatic options that are tailored to reflect the needs and priorities of partners.”", "2. In view of the above, the midterm review of the strategic plan established four over‑arching priorities for the next 3-5 years (2011-2016), priorities which cut across UNDP practice areas and which will be subject to annual review and reassessment as preparations commence for the next strategic plan (2014-2017). These priorities are: (i) promoting growth and development which are inclusive, resilient and sustainable through the strengthening of key enabling conditions for accelerating progress towards achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); (ii) scaling up and reinforcing governance and crisis support to programme countries; (iii) strengthening knowledge-sharing and strategic programming to support transformational change; and (iv) ensuring a UNDP that is fit for purpose in the twenty-first century, to include enhanced organizational effectiveness and improved overall coordination of the United Nations development system.", "3. The midterm review of the strategic plan also emphasized that “UNDP staff are the principal asset and backbone of the organization”. It highlights the need to further strengthen strategic human resources management so that skills mix and staff capacity mirror corporate requirements. This is of critical importance to a knowledge-based organization which provides policy advisory services and advocates for human development. UNDP is developing a people capability strategy to identify the size, shape and skills mix of its future workforce. In order to have the right people in the right place at the right time, career paths in policy, programme and corporate services, with the right incentives, will be developed and supported through professional skills development, leadership and mentoring programmes.", "4. The UNDP “agenda for organizational change”, which the Administrator launched in April 2011, is expected to re-energize the organization to successfully implement the recommendations of the midterm review of the strategic plan. It will do so by further strengthening UNDP in its role as a world class, solutions-oriented and knowledge-based organization which helps developing countries make transformational change and helps channel the strengths of the entire United Nations development system to that end. The change agenda acknowledges that institutional renewal is a high priority for UNDP, especially in view of the rapid and large-scale changes under way in development cooperation, and the questions being posed about the ongoing role of multilateral cooperation in general, and the specific role of UNDP in this regard. It recognizes that UNDP has to be: more focused on what services are most needed and where; more consistent in the quality and effectiveness of its work; and more agile in retaining its lead role in a crowded development space.", "5. The change agenda is based on improved functionality and results in three cross‑cutting areas: internal governance; organizational effectiveness; and leadership, culture and behavior. More specifically, the expected outcomes of the change agenda are:", "(a) A culture of and capability for strategic planning and management that matches resources and action to clear priorities.", "(b) A service offering tailored to differentiated country requirements.", "(c) A workforce with upgraded skills delivering policy advice comparable to the best peer institutions.", "(d) Programme design and management that is transparent and meets standards of design, quality, cost and leadership.", "(e) Business and compliance processes that are faster, lower cost and higher quality.", "(f) Stronger collaboration with existing partners and a step change in partnership with the global South and other stakeholders.", "6. During 2012-2013, the highest priority for UNDP, together with the formulation of the 2014-2017 strategic plan, will be to accelerate implementation of the “Agenda for Organizational Change” as informed by the guidance provided by the Executive Board in decision 2011/14. Accordingly, the 2012-2013 institutional budget estimates and related proposals of the Administrator will directly support strategic plan formulation and the change agenda in three major ways: (i) by delivering strategic institutional results that serve as prerequisites for, and thus underlay and mutually reinforce, the achievement of strategic development results: (ii) by further investing strategically in the organization; and (iii) by identifying increased opportunities for improved operational effectiveness and efficiency. Ultimately, the overall objective is to accelerate the “lifting of UNDP performance from good to great” in order to best help programme countries meet development objectives on the ground.", "7. Lifting UNDP performance from good to great is a dynamic process that will never be completely finished. It will require continuous organizational refinement and investment, if UNDP is to be fit for purpose. It will require differentiated, demand-driven services that move away from a one size fits all approach, if UNDP is to effectively respond to increasingly complex demands. It will require differentiated structures and country-level presences that are not formula based, if UNDP is to continue to effectively coordinate development activities on behalf of the United Nations system. It will require predictability and flexibility in the allocation of resources, if UNDP is to rapidly and strategically prioritize and deploy sufficient resources to where they are needed most. In summary, it will require a strategically positioned, adequately funded, and agile UNDP that can, in coordination with diverse development partners, effectively help a broad spectrum of programme countries arrive at viable policy options and concrete plans to anticipate and act on the multitude of complex challenges confronting human development.", "8. The 2012-2013 institutional budget forms an integral part of the strategic plan. The revised, strategic institutional results framework approved therein reflects the harmonized cost classifications approved in decision 2010/32 and presents planned management, United Nations development coordination, development effectiveness and special purpose results and indicators in line with decision 2011/10. This serves as the centrepiece of the 2012-2013 institutional budget with respect to results-based planning and budgeting as elaborated on in paragraphs 23 to 83 and table 2. Similarly, the high-level resource projections for both regular and other resources for 2012-2013 approved in the midterm review of the strategic plan are fully reflected in the 2012-2013 institutional budget. They form the foundation for the budgetary estimates and proposals included in the 2012-2013 resource plan presented in table 1 and elaborated on in paragraphs 10 to 22.", "9. The “road map to an integrated budget from 2014 onwards” serves as the guide for achieving overall budgetary transparency and integration, as well as optimal harmonization and comparability with UNICEF and UNFPA. This is accomplished through enhanced approaches in the areas of cost classification, results-based budgeting, cost recovery and the compilation and presentation of budgetary information. UNDP is well on track to present an integrated budget from 2014 onwards as reflected in Executive Board decision 2011/10 and the joint Board informal consultations at which the substance, direction and delivery date of the road map have been discussed. Ultimately, the integrated budget will incorporate into one planning and budgetary framework the planning and resources for the institutional results currently reflected in the institutional budget, and the planning and resources for the development results currently reflected in the programming arrangements.", "II. Financial context", "Overview", "10. The resource plan for 2012-2013 is presented in table 1. In order to provide the most current information available for 2010 and 2011, actual figures for 2010 and revised estimates for 2011 have been combined and reflected therein for comparative purposes. These figures are drawn from summary table 1 which provides, as requested by the Executive Board, a comparison of the resource plan for 2010-2011 approved in decision 2010/1 with 2010 actual and 2011 revised, combined estimates.", "11. Table 1 reflects a regular resources contribution estimate of $2.15 billion for 2012‑2013 as approved in the midterm review of the strategic plan. This represents a $0.18 billion nominal increase over the most current 2010-2011 income projections of $1.97 billion. However, this also represents a $0.2 billion decrease when compared to initially planned 2010-2011 regular resources contributions of $2.35 billion contained in summary table 1.", "12. UNDP needs an adequate, predictable base of regular resources in order to fulfill its mandate and preserve its multilateral, impartial and universal character in supporting programme countries in achieving their development goals. Restoring the growth and enhancing the predictability of the regular funding of United Nations development activities has been discussed widely, including in the context of the most recent triennial comprehensive policy reviews and the corresponding General Assembly resolutions 56/201, 59/250 and 62/208. However, the global economic crisis and the volatile exchange-rate environment continue to pose challenges, especially with respect to the strategic direction and sustainability of the organization. The strategic plan could be at risk if voluntary contribution levels fail to reach the targets established in the revised integrated resources framework presented in DP/2011/22. The consequences of such a shortfall go beyond UNDP, as the shortfall also threatens the ability of the organization to sustain a strong global platform and country presence on behalf of the United Nations system.", "13. In light of the above, the Administrator is proposing an unprecedented $120.1 million or 12.3 per cent in volume reductions in comparison to the 2010-2011 gross budget appropriation of $980.9 million approved in decision 2010/1. These reductions offset $31.1 million (3.2 per cent) in non-discretionary cost increases and $40 million (4.1 per cent) in proposed investments, resulting in a net budget reduction of $49.3 million (5.0 per cent). In gross terms a $931.9 million institutional budget is proposed for 2012-2013, against which income offsets of $75.4 million are projected, resulting in a proposed net institutional budget for 2012-2013 of $856.5 million.", "14. This proposal highlights the need to exercise budgetary discipline through the containment of management costs and increased efficiency, which in turn should serve to maximize resources available for development activities. Ultimately, this proposal is expected to strike the right balance to ensure maximum accountability for the resources placed at the disposal of UNDP and the results outlined in the extended strategic plan.", "15. The $120.1 million in gross volume decreases are the result of an organizational reduction strategy, approved by the Administrator, to arrive at a reasonable and equitably distributed level of volume reductions. Proposed reductions relate to: (i) improved operational effectiveness, including freezing of positions; (ii) the completion of one-time investments financed during 2010-2012; (iii) shifting of costs to extrabudgetary resources to improve burden-sharing as repeatedly called for by the Executive Board in decisions 2005/33, 2006/30, 2007/18, 2008/1 and 2010/1; and (iv) enhanced transparency in the attribution of centrally managed costs. The Administrator has determined that absorption of reductions beyond the proposed level of $120.1 million would have negative implications for UNDP and would jeopardize success in the implementation of its dual development and coordination mandates through its universal presence.", "16. The estimated statutory cost increases of $31.1 million are due primarily to the impact of inflation on post adjustments and other entitlements, as well as normal within-grade salary increments and revisions. These cost increases result from United Nations system-wide standards, directives and calculations that are promulgated through the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC). As such, they are non‑discretionary and must be respected.", "17. The Administrator has identified several key areas for investment during 2012‑2013 in response to organizational priorities and needs as set forth in the strategic plan. These are summarized below and elaborated on in paragraphs 96 to 118:", "(a) Implementing the change agenda, with an emphasis on stronger internal strategic planning and management capability, and improved results-based management practices to support formulation of the next strategic plan and results frameworks.", "(b) Strengthening strategic human resources management in line with the change agenda, with an emphasis on workforce and job analytics and talent management;", "(c) Increasing support to countries undergoing fragile transitions, with an emphasis on Southern Sudan and the Arab States region.", "(d) Framing the global development agenda, with an emphasis on accelerating the achievement of the MDGs, preparing for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) and implementing the International Aid Transparency Initiative.", "(e) Enhancing corporate value-added services and accountability, with an emphasis on International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) implementation, strategic business information, streamlined business processes and strengthened investigative capacity.", "Resource projections", "18. Figure 1 provides an overview of actual and 2012-2013 estimated contributions, by funding category, over six bienniums. In nominal terms, regular donor resources are projected at $2.15 billion for 2012-2013. Other donor resources, for trust funds and cost sharing, are projected to decrease nominally by about $0.36 billion (6 per cent) from current estimates of $6.3 billion for 2010-2011, to $5.95 billion for 2012-2013. Local resources provided by host governments are also expected to decrease nominally by about $0.03 billion (2 per cent) to $1.5 billion in 2012-2013. Aggregate donor and local contributions for the 2012-2013 biennium are estimated at $9.6 billion, $0.2 billion less than 2010-2011 estimates.", "Figure 1.

Figure 2 provides an overview of the use of total projected resources for 2012‑2013 – about $11.73 billion – of which about 88.11 per cent will be spent on development activities, 8.66 per cent on management activities, 2.25 per cent on United Nations development coordination activities, and 0.98 per cent on special purpose activities.

Specific proposals and cost implications of the UNDP support budget estimates, and related proposals of the Administrator for 2012-2013, are presented in chapter IV.", "III. Strategic institutional results framework", "Background", "23. The strategic plan constitutes the single, overarching results framework of UNDP. The institutional budget is informed by and fully aligned with the strategic institutional results framework and high-level resource projections for 2012-2013 contained therein. The 2012‑2013 institutional budget estimates are presented in table 2 and are directly linked to the planned outputs discussed below. With the adoption of the integrated budget from 2014 onwards, UNDP will have one results and budgetary framework for regular resources covering the institutional results and resources currently included in the institutional budget and the development results and resources currently reflected in the programming arrangements.", "24. The 2012-2013 institutional budget has been prepared in joint harmonization with UNFPA and UNICEF, and has benefitted from the continuous guidance of the Executive Board. Accordingly, the 2012-2013 institutional budget lays the foundation for moving to an integrated budget from 2014 onwards in line with the joint informal note of UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF on “The road map to an integrated budget” as recently discussed and confirmed during a joint informal discussion with the Executive Board.", "25. More specifically, the 2012-2013 institutional budget fully incorporates the cost classifications approved in decision 2009/22, as further revised and harmonized in decision 2010/32. It also fully incorporates the harmonized results-based budgeting approach approved in decision 2011/10, including: (i) improved results focus and complete linking with the revised strategic institutional results framework of the extended strategic plan; (ii) improved links between proposed 2012-2013 budgets and corresponding planned strategic institutional results through the use of functional clusters; and (iii) key harmonized budget tables including: the resource plan (table 1); a comparison of 2010-2011 planned and actual/estimated expenditures (summary table 1); and proposed 2012-2013 budget estimates (table 2) that are fully aligned with the revised strategic institutional results framework elaborated on below.", "Results-based budgeting", "26. The institutional results framework underpins and directly supports the achievement of the development results contained in the strategic plan. It covers planned strategic institutional activities in the areas of management, United Nations development coordination, special purpose and development effectiveness, all of which form the operational foundation that UNDP leverages to respond to demands from programme countries for development and coordination services. The activities and functions that fall within the institutional results framework are mutually reinforcing. They are also integrally linked to the development results framework in that they directly support the creation of an enabling environment for delivering on demand development services.", "27. For example, while human resources-related activities are reflected under management, the Office of Human Resources (OHR) of the Bureau of Management (BoM) devotes a considerable amount of time and resources to ensure the timely assessment, recruitment and placement of qualified resident coordinator candidates whose time is largely reflected under United Nations development coordination. Similarly, the Security Office/BoM, whose costs are reflected under management, devotes a considerable amount of time and resources to assessing and strengthening the overall security environment in which development and coordination activities take place.", "28. The institutional results framework consists of a cycle of: (i) planning for strategic institutional results; (ii) selecting relevant indicators, baselines and targets; (iii) appropriating and allocating resources to achieve strategic institutional results; (iv) implementing and monitoring planned activities; and (v) reporting on actual results achieved.", "29. In principle, the planning for strategic institutional results, and the selection of indicators, baselines and targets, takes place within the context of the formulation of the strategic plan. For the purposes of the 2012-2013 institutional budget, this occurs within the context of the midterm review of the extended strategic plan, 2008-2013. The appropriation and allocation of resources takes place within the context of the 2012-2013 institutional budget exercise. Implementation and monitoring of planned activities takes place within the context of the annual integrated unit work planning exercise. In this regard, each unit prepares an annual integrated workplan describing results to be achieved and required inputs and resources. This provides managers and staff members with an objective basis for monitoring their activities. The annual integrated workplan is largely derived from the results projected in the strategic plan. Reporting on planned versus achieved results takes place within the context of the annual report of the Administrator on the strategic plan. Reporting on expenditures within the approved cost classification categories takes place in the annual financial statements and “Annual review of the financial situation”.", "30. Each strategic institutional result has a lead unit or a lead group of units designated as the corporate sponsor that is responsible for: (i) formulating the result; (ii) defining SMART indicators (specific, measureable, achievable, relevant and timebound); (iii) confirming baselines; (iv) establishing targets; and (v) reporting on results. Accountability for the achievement of strategic institutional results is not limited to the corporate sponsor. It may be shared between several non-sponsoring units or cut across the organization.", "31. Functional clusters of activities, organized largely by organizational unit, are assigned to each strategic institutional result. This facilitates and improves the transparent link between planned results and the resources (costs of the organizational units) required to successfully achieve them as presented in table 2 and elaborated on below. The functional clusters for the seven recurring management results are harmonized between UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF, allowing for reasonable comparability. All other functional clusters are agency specific.", "Table 2. Proposed budget estimates by strategic plan institutional output[1]", "(in millions of dollars, nominal)", "[]", "32. The UNDP balanced scorecard system and its SMART performance indicators underpin the performance management system, and are critical for monitoring progress towards achieving strategic institutional results. It is an integral part of the integrated planning process of UNDP. The corporate-level scorecard – known as the “executive balanced scorecard” – consists of strategic results and performance indicators derived from the extended strategic plan. In view of the revision of the strategic institutional results framework, the executive balanced scorecard will be updated to ensure continued alignment. The executive balanced scorecard also serves as the starting point for designing unit-level balanced scorecards for Headquarters units and country-offices through a “cascading” exercise. The balanced scorecard is automated, and data is available in real time.", "33. In addition to the balanced scorecard, UNDP relies on specific internal databases and selected results drawn from three key surveys as performance indicators. The surveys are independently conducted on an annual basis. The UNDP partners survey provides feedback from development partners on the role and performance of UNDP. The global staff survey provides feedback from staff on a range of workplace issues. The products and services survey is the means through which country-offices provide feedback on the quality of products and services provided by Headquarters units. The balanced scorecards, surveys, internal databases and unit-level results-based reporting on integrated annual workplans are the basis for reporting on performance towards planned results.", "A. Management", "Strategic Plan Output: Effective leadership and direction provided to advance the mandate and mission of UNDP (harmonized functional cluster – corporate leadership and direction)", "34. The provision of effective leadership and direction is critical for ensuring that the mandate, vision and strategic results of the organization, as contained in the extended strategic plan, are organized, delivered and reported on in an efficient, timely and transparent manner. More specifically, the leadership of the organization is accountable for sharpening the focus and enhancing the impact of the development and United Nations development coordination activities of UNDP. It is also accountable for improving organizational effectiveness by continuously streamlining and improving the management activities, and related structures and capacities, that underlie and are inextricably linked to the successful achievement of development and coordination results. Formulation and approval of the strategic plan, 2014-2017 and results framework, and implementation of the agenda for organizational change, are two key strategic initiatives planned for 2012-2013 that will impact the achievement of this result.", "35. The output indicators for this result are derived from both internal and external sources. Three output indicators will be used to measure overall performance. They are drawn from: (i) the annual report of the Administrator on the strategic plan, using the overall achievement of institutional results reported therein; (ii) the Partnership Survey, using the overall programme and donor-country partner feedback reported therein on the quality and effectiveness of UNDP contributions in the four focus areas; and (iii) the executive balanced scorecard, using overall management efficiency as calculated by the ratio measuring total management costs as a function of total organizational costs.", "36.

As in previous bienniums, UNDP conducted a workload study to review time and costs associated with UNDP country-office support to United Nations development coordination activities. More than 3,000 staff in 84 country offices participated, a broad representational sample from which estimates could be drawn. Results from data analysis once again confirmed the inextricable link between United Nations development coordination and UNDP activities in the UNDP country-office structure.

Proposals for the 2012-2013 institutional budget", "A. Summary of proposals", "Background", "84. The Administrators is proposing an institutional budget for UNDP that reflects an unprecedented level of $120.1 million or 12.3 per cent in volume reductions in comparison to the 2010-2011 gross budget of $980.9 million approved in decision 2010/1. These reductions offset $31.1 million (3.2 per cent) in non-discretionary cost increases and $40 million (4.1 per cent) in proposed investments as described below. These proposals result in a net budget reduction of $49.3 million or 5.0 per cent. As such, an institutional budget in gross terms for 2012-2013 of $931.9 million is proposed, against which income offsets of $75.4 million are projected, resulting in an institutional budget for 2012-2013 in net terms of $856.5 million. The details are outlined in table 3 and discussed in the following paragraphs.", "Cost increases", "85. The net cost increase of $31.1 million proposed in table 3 represents a 3.2 per cent increase over the 2010-2011 approved gross appropriation and is indicative of the non‑discretionary nominal cost increases required to finance UNDP organizational structures, functions and activities during 2012-2013. It is significantly less than the cost increase of $91.5 million during 2010-2011, which represented a 10.7 per cent increase. It also compares favorably with the cost increases during 2008-2009 (15.1 per cent) and 2006-2007 (13.5 per cent).", "86. Key factors concerning the relevant cost adjustments are:", "(a) Net increase of $17.4 million resulting from the effect of inflation on: post adjustment and other entitlements of international and Headquarters local staff; entitlements of national officers and country-office local staff; and operating costs.", "(b) Net increase of $12.0 million resulting from salary entitlements due to within-grade salary increments of international and Headquarters local staff, and United Nations-mandated salary revision surveys for national officers and country-office local staff.", "(c) Net increase of $1.5 million resulting from currency adjustments due to the aggregate impact of exchange-rate fluctuations in comparison to the dollar.", "(d) Net increase of $0.2 million resulting from proposed post reclassifications.", "87. The full effect of inflation for 2012-2013 is estimated at 2.5 per cent per year, reflecting the combined impact of a 1.2 per cent annual inflation rate at Headquarters, and a 3.9 per cent annual inflation rate for country offices. This is in comparison to an estimated inflation rate of 3.3 per cent per year (1.8 per cent at Headquarters and 4.5 per cent for country offices) during 2010-2011, and 4.1 per cent (3.2 per cent at Headquarters and 4.7 per cent for country offices) during 2008-2009. The inflation rates are derived from the United Nations Secretariat for New York and Geneva, and from the website of the Economist Intelligence Unit for all other locations.", "Table 3. Summary of main areas of increase/decrease for regular resources[2]", "(in millions of dollars, nominal)", "[]", "Exercising budgetary discipline (volume decreases)", "88. In response to concerns expressed by Executive Board members, and in the context of the ongoing global economic crisis, the Administrator continues to assign a high priority to the need for exercising budgetary discipline through the further containment and better alignment of institutional costs. A threefold approach was taken to arrive at $120.1 million in real volume decreases, representing a 12.3 per cent decrease in volume from the approved gross budget appropriation for 2010-2011. First, organizational units were challenged to improve overall operational effectiveness by eliminating redundant and non-essential services and activities, and by identifying lower priority functions that could be reduced, including the freezing of posts ($30.6 million). Secondly, opportunities for improved alignment of costs were identified at the corporate level with respect to the attribution of centrally managed costs ($55.2 million), and at the unit level with respect to improved burden-sharing between regular and extrabudgetary resources ($13.0 million). Finally, all costs associated with the completion of capital investments and other investments were eliminated ($21.3 million).", "89. In view of the above, reductions to non-staff expenses of $96.0 million are proposed. These have been achieved through a combination of: improved operational effectiveness ($12.4 million); improved cost alignment with respect to the attribution of centrally managed costs ($55.2 million) and shifts to extrabudgetary resources ($7.1 million); and completion of capital and other investments ($21.3 million).", "90. Reductions in staff costs of $24.1 million are also proposed. These reductions involve 88 posts: 33 international professional and 55 local. Those reductions were achieved through a combination of: increased operational effectiveness, including the freezing or abolishment of posts ($18.2 million), and shifts to extrabudgetary resources ($5.9 million). Reductions in the numbers of posts were achieved as follows:", "(a) Posts frozen: 20 international professionals and 23 local posts.", "(b) Posts abolished: 4 international professional and 14 local posts.", "(c) Posts shifted to extrabudgetary resources: 9 international professional and 18 local posts.", "91. More effective delivery of policy and corporate services is a top priority during 2012‑2013, with increased focus being placed on faster, cheaper and better business processes leading to significant reductions in turnaround times and costs associated with mission-critical functions, most notably recruitment and procurement. A series of concrete measures will be introduced to address the lengthy and often inflexible programme and project process that has often impeded operational effectiveness at the country-office level. A mix of flexible programming tools better suited to nationally owned development agendas will be developed as an important first step in streamlining office operations and reducing burdensome bureaucratic procedures that add little value.", "92. Travel, consultancy and communications costs will be further contained. Consideration will also be given to the feasibility of clustering routine operational activities and transactions performed across the organization in service hubs or global centres having access to competent, available pools of human resources and suitable physical and ICT facilities. Lessons learned from the establishment of the Global Shared Service Centre that will support IPSAS implementation will provide guidance. Outsourcing alternatives will also be explored. The ICT architecture will be further leveraged and internal staff capacities strengthened in strategic and value-added areas. Ultimately, these and other initiatives under consideration should lead to improved organizational effectiveness and the ability to do more with less.", "93. Historically the majority of managed UNDP costs associated with services provided by the United Nations Secretariat, jointly financed United Nations system activities, After-Service Health Insurance (ASHI), security, information and communication technology and learning activities were funded from regular resources, since this was the source of funding for the majority of UNDP staff. However, as other resources from cost sharing and trust funds have grown, so too have the number of UNDP staff funded from other resources and the costs of managing them, both centrally and locally.", "94. In view of the above and in order to achieve improved budgetary transparency and cost attribution, a corporate initiative was launched to enhance the apportionment of these types of centrally managed costs to their corresponding sources of funding based on staff numbers and total costs. This was successfully accomplished in large part because of the continuous investments in and successive upgrades to the UNDP Atlas ERP system, enabling better utilization and management of personnel data. The analysis conducted for IPSAS implementation was also a contributing factor. As a result, $55.2 million in improved cost attributions have been identified with respect to: services provided by the United Nations Secretariat and the costs of participating in United Nations system jointly financed activities ($9.9 million); ASHI ($9.0 million); security ($25.7 million); and information and communications technology, learning and end of service costs ($10.6 million).", "95. In addition, UNDP has made a number of investments that have benefited the organization and led to value for money. Funding to meet certain of the costs associated with some of these investments, both capital and non-recurring, is no longer needed. Accordingly, a total of $21.3 million in reductions has been identified with respect to: General Assembly-mandated activities relating to human resources contractual reform and IPSAS preparatory activities ($9.5 million); investments in knowledge management ($6.7 million) and capital investments in Atlas software upgrades and a new Headquarters telephone system ($5.1 million).", "Investing in the organization (volume increases)", "96. A total of $40 million in volume increases are proposed in five strategic areas to include both recurring and non-recurring investments of $30.1 million and $9.9 million, respectively. This represents a 4.1 per cent increase over the approved gross appropriation for 2010-2011. A total of 77 new positions are proposed, 32 international professional and 45 local positions. All proposed investments are specifically identified and included in their corresponding planned strategic output as discussed in chapter 3 on the strategic institutional results framework. A brief description of the proposed investments in line with the five strategic areas outlined in paragraph 17 follows.", "Implementing the change agenda", "97. Stronger strategic planning and management capability within regional and central bureaux is a critical prerequisite for successful implementation of the change agenda. More specifically, the change agenda identifies clear accountabilities for bureaux, including: (i) implementing corporate decisions regionally and integrating them across all bureaux; (ii) delivering programmes effectively; (iii) allocating resources in line with organizational priorities; (iv) overseeing programme quality, reporting on results and complying with corporate requirements; and (v) regional and global outreach.", "98. Strategic planning and management will focus on becoming more forward looking. Systematic monitoring of regional and global developments should better position the organization by supporting the formulation of high-quality country, regional and global programmes in which the strategic priorities of UNDP are fully integrated. Regular analyses of programme portfolios should identify strengths and weaknesses as well as emerging opportunities, and serve as the basis for monitoring planned results, in order to allocate resources to support effective programme delivery and to proactively address unsatisfactory performance. Ultimately these activities should result in a strengthened ability to systematically plan, deliver and monitor timely support to country offices, including assessing demands for policy and corporate services from central bureaux.", "99. In parallel, UNDP focus on policy leadership will be strengthened through the establishment of a small strategic policy team in BDP, headed by a chief economist, which will provide integrated advice on global policy issues and emerging trends, and their implications for country and regional programmes. This team will also be responsible for establishing and coordinating an integrated UNDP policy strategy in line with organizational priorities.", "100. In following up on decision 2011/14 on the midterm review of the strategic plan, it is critical for UNDP to strengthen approaches to results-based management in all aspects of its work, and to adjust the strategic plan results framework and internal data-collection system to incorporate more systematic and comparable results data across countries and programmes. In parallel, UNDP needs to develop a new, robust results framework to underpin the next strategic plan period (covering 2014-2017), building on international best practices in the construction of results chains. This work will require extensive statistical research and analysis in order to address issues relating to value for money, organizational effectiveness and linkages between results and resources.", "101. In view of the above, the Administrator proposes an investment of $6.8 million from regular resources to support the implementation of the change agenda, of which: (i) $5.0 million will directly support stronger strategic planning and management capability through the establishment of 10 international professional positions; (ii) $0.8 million will directly support policy leadership through the establishment of a chief economist at the D2 level and one support staff member; and (iii) $1.0 million will provide critical support to improving all aspects of results‑based management across the organization in preparation for the next strategic plan and results frameworks.", "Strengthening strategic human resources management", "102. People management is a cornerstone of the change agenda which envisages a step change in the organizational culture: building a strategically fit‑for‑purpose and adaptive organization with staff engagement, high performance, and shared principles and values.

General Assembly resolution 63/250 mandated the implementation of new human resources contractual arrangements under one set of staff regulations. As a result of contractual reform implementation, 1,200 additional international professional staff are now administered by UNDP. The number of corresponding permanent and fixed‑term appointments has increased, as has the number of separations and new appointments. This situation has created an additional workload that cannot be readily absorbed at existing staff levels. It also precludes a decentralized approach until existing work backlogs have been satisfactorily addressed centrally, and staff capacities at the unit level sufficiently strengthened.", "104. In view of the above, the Administrator proposes an investment of $4.0 million from regular resources. These resources will be used to:", "(a) establish four international professional positions specializing in streamlining processes, workforce and job analytics, systems design, career development, and mediation and facilitation.", "(b) prioritize business process re-engineering to allow human resources management staff more time for discharging strategic functions, including talent and succession management and speeding up recruitment.", "(c) establish two international professional and eight local positions to meet the additional workload attributed to contractual reform and to effectively manage associated risks.", "Increasing support to countries in fragile transitions", "105. The overriding objective of the UNDP crisis prevention and recovery practice continues to be strengthening national capacities to prevent, or mitigate, risks associated with crises, while supporting rapid recovery efforts that promote sustainable national development. In the 2012-2013 period, UNDP support will be called upon in a number of critical contexts: including in Southern Sudan and the Arab States region.", "106. Following its secession, planned for 9 July 2011, Southern Sudan will be challenged with the task of nation-building, requiring a refocusing of the UNDP programme on (i) good governance and state-building; (ii) crisis prevention and recovery; and (iii) inclusive growth and economic development. The existing sub‑office in Juba will be converted into a full country-office presence. It will include adequate managerial, programmatic and operational capacities for delivering a complex, multi-dimensional programme.", "107. Similarly, the ongoing transitions in the Arab States region require renewed and refocused UNDP support. For these transitions to respond fully to the aspirations of the citizens, the emerging political models need to promote economic, social and political inclusion. The unpredictability of the current political context, coupled with the sudden decrease of state functions in the region, requires a rapid response to the immediate needs of the population, while paving the way for a long-term political transition. Accordingly, country programmes will require adjustment to meet transition needs, and the capacity of country offices will require strengthening to ensure responsive management, programme implementation support and advisory services.", "108. In view of the above, the Administrator proposes an investment of $4.2 million from regular resources to support countries in fragile transitions through the establishment of the following positions: (i) a D2 Senior Country Director and six national officer and local posts in Southern Sudan; (ii) a D2 Senior Country Director in Yemen; and (iii) a D1 Transition Team Leader in the Arab States region to coordinate support, in view of the multiple and simultaneous crises taking place across the region. Support will also be provided for a phased relocation of the Iraq country office from Amman to Baghdad.", "Framing the global development agenda", "109. In January 2011, UNDP introduced an MDG Breakthrough Strategy, including the establishment of an MDG Acceleration Framework (MAF). The MAF serves as the UNDP framework to accelerate achievement of the MDGs in countries where progress is significantly lagging. It has been piloted in 10 countries, in which it has led to high-quality MAF Action Plans. This approach was subsequently endorsed by the UNDG. In addition, the MDG Summit has brought a level of international agreement on the need to further accelerate progress on the Goals, in part through more explicit alignment between government and development partners on planned activities within the context of MAF country action plans. These plans focus on key policy, investment and capacity bottlenecks that are impeding the acceleration of progress, especially on the elimination of major gender, income and geographic disparities. UNDP proposes to support the formulation of 12 additional MAF country action plans during 2012-2013.", "110. Given the unique and global mandate of UNDP, it has been tasked to play a proactive role in the preparations leading up to the Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) where the most important question for the post-MDG period will be addressed: How to design a global blueprint for future sustainable growth while safeguarding progress already achieved in the areas of poverty, climate change and other critical sectors. In close consultation with United Nations system partners, UNDP will gather, analyze and synthesize multiple, complex streams of substantive information. These activities are expected to make an important contribution to the formulation of a dynamic global institutional framework for development.", "111. UNDP is a member of the IATI, which is a voluntary, multi-stakeholder initiative that seeks to make information about aid spending easier to find, use and compare. It brings together donor and developing countries, non‑governmental organizations and experts on aid information.

In view of the above, the Administrator proposes an investment of $4.0 million from regular resources, of which: (i) $2.0 million will support the expansion of the preparation of high-quality MDG Acceleration Framework Action Plans in 12 programme countries; (ii) $1.0 million will support the preparation for Rio+20 of an issues paper clarifying how the green economy can contribute to the implementation of the sustainable development agenda; and (iii) $1.0 million will support the upgrading of existing data, reporting and systems capabilities in order to successfully introduce the transparency standards adopted by IATI.", "Enhancing value-added corporate services and accountability", "113. General Assembly resolution 60/283 approved the United Nations system-wide adoption of IPSAS to replace the United Nations System Accounting Standards. IPSAS is considered a best practice by public and not-for-profit organizations. IPSAS implementation is expected to result in a higher level of transparency and accountability by providing a consistent, comparable and harmonized platform for United Nations system financial reporting and disclosure. It will also facilitate greater harmonization in financial regulations and rules, business practices, and policies and procedures. UNDP is well on track to implement IPSAS beginning in January 2012, and has already made considerable progress during the current preparatory phase. However, non-recurring investments during 2012, the first year of implementation, are still required in order to: stabilize business processes and workflows; support ongoing verification of opening balances; conduct an actuarial valuation of employee benefit liabilities; further define reports and interpret policies; and provide trouble shooting support to country offices in order to mitigate implementation risks.", "114. A global shared-service centre will be established to provide recurring advisory services and support primarily to country offices in order to deal with complex IPSAS transactions. The centre is expected to provide opportunities for economies of scale and the sharing of knowledge and best practices. It will be located in a low-cost location with access to competent, available labour. It is expected to provide important input to discussions on alternative approaches for achieving faster, cheaper and better business processes across the organization.", "115. In the area of information and communications technology, a road map has been finalized for 2012-2013. It addresses the important role ICT plays in providing strategic advisory and value-added corporate services, and in improving reporting, compliance and risk management. Non-recurring investments during 2012-2013 are required to make critical enhancements to the ERP system to strengthen corporate services in the areas of Atlas security, human resources management, IPSAS and programme management, as well as to improve Internet capabilities. To improve overall reporting, compliance and risk management, non-recurring investments in the areas of results-based management, strategic reporting and data archiving are needed.", "116. Recurring investments in ICT during 2012-2013 are also required to consolidate and leverage the strategic investments made during 2010-2011 in the intranet, Internet and extranet, investments that have increased knowledge-management and sharing capabilities throughout the organization. The UNDP intranet has been redesigned and consolidated to increase internal efficiencies and to support integration and harmonization with internal results and information-management tools. The Internet is now managed through a content management system that allows site owners, with minimal technical knowledge, to modify the content, graphics and structure of individual websites. The extranet provides UNDP with the institutional platform to support collaboration, knowledge sharing, communication and networking with external development partners.", "117. The Investigations Unit in OAI has experienced a significant increase in the number and complexity of complaints and requests for investigations. Of particular concern is the rise in the proportion of alleged irregularities related to fraud and other financial activities. These situations and the required follow-up work, if not addressed and carried out quickly, can serve to distract staff from routine tasks and detract from the quality and added value of strategic undertakings. Increased investment in the capacity of the Investigations Unit is therefore considered important.", "118. In view of the above, the Administrator proposes an investment of $21.0 million from regular resources to support enhanced value-added corporate services and accountability. Of this total, $10.0 million will directly support IPSAS implementation through a non-recurring investment of $3.8 million, and recurring investments of $6.2 million to fund the global shared services centre, including the establishment of 10 international professional and 30 local positions. Another $10.0 million will support information and communications technology-related activities, of which $6.1 million represents non-recurring investments and $3.9 million represents recurring investments.

The temporary conversion of eight existing resident coordinator posts to country director posts was considered a prudent use of available resources. It was also considered a practical interim response to the triennial comprehensive policy review recommendation that UNDP strengthen its country-office capacities in complex emergency situations.

Historically, the identification of activities and costs and their attribution to regular and other resources followed a relatively simple and unambiguous approach. The activities and costs of staff located in government ministries and project sites were considered programme related and thus chargeable in whole to the concerned regular- or other resources-funded programme or project. In contrast, the activities and costs of staff located in UNDP country offices were considered management related and thus chargeable in whole to regular or other resources funding from the institutional budget or extrabudgetary account. This is clearly no longer the case due to the dynamic mandate, multi-funded nature and evolving implementation arrangements of UNDP, including increased focus on advocacy and policy advice.", "136. In principle, all project activities and their associated costs, as defined in the Country Programme Action Plan, annual project workplans and project documents are incurred by government counterpart agencies. This is the national execution/national implementation modality (NEX/NIM) and assumes that programme countries carry out all project implementation activities and translate all project inputs into concrete development results and outputs. This also implies that 93 per cent of donor-provided cost sharing and trust fund resources under the NEX/NIM modality (97 per cent for programme-country cost sharing) are spent directly on project activities by government ministries, institutions and agencies. This also implies that all related institutional costs are fully recovered by UNDP as extrabudgetary resources through the application of the 7 per cent cost-recovery policy with respect to general management services approved by the Executive Board in decision 2007/18.", "137. Furthermore, in accordance with the NEX/NIM accountability framework that describes the roles of programme country governments and UNDP, all oversight and related activities of UNDP (i.e., general management services) should be funded from the institutional budget or extrabudgetary account. In addition, in accordance with the policies and procedures of UNDP, all implementation-related activities undertaken by UNDP should be directly charged to the concerned project or programme. This applies equally to the NEX/NIM modality when the Government is the implementing partner and UNDP is the responsible party, and to the direct implementation (DIM) modality when UNDP is the implementing partner.", "138. UNDP currently faces three interrelated and mutually dependent challenges with respect to further defining the role played by other resources in contributing to the institutional and development results and overall funding of the organization. The first challenge relates to issues highlighted in the change agenda with respect to different country requirements which preclude one-size-fits-all approaches, service-driven menus and formula-based presence. This challenge is largely being addressed within the change agenda and related initiatives on country-office typologies, modalities of project implementation and the programming arrangements.", "139. The second challenge relates to arriving at more transparent and optimal ways of attributing costs, and their sources of funding, to either development or institutional activities. The enhanced attributing of centrally managed costs (discussed in paragraphs 93 to 94) and the improved application and monitoring of activities under the NEX/NIM accountability framework (discussed above) should largely address this challenge.", "140. The third challenge relates to improved alignment between the resources that flow into the extrabudgetary account and the funding of the institutional activities that underpin development activities funded from other resources. Extrabudgetary resources are largely generated through the application of the cost-recovery policy. This policy calls for the recovery of a minimum of 7 per cent on all third-party cost sharing and trust fund contributions[4], and a minimum of 3 per cent on all government cost-sharing contributions, in order to fund related institutional activities (i.e., general management services). Institutional activities funded from regular resources should not unduly support (subsidize) activities attributed to other resources. Similarly, cost-recovery generated resources in the extrabudgetary account should not be used to fund project implementation activities carried out by UNDP. Improved extrabudgetary account management and strengthened monitoring should satisfactorily address this issue.", "141. In previous budgets, the calculation of the UNDP variable indirect recovery rate for bilateral and multilateral donor resources was based on the concept of the base structure, defined in DP/2010/3 as the minimum capacity that the organization needs in order to carry out its core mandate. This is presented in the following paragraphs for 2012-2013, in line with the cost-recovery methodology reflected in the report on UNDP strategic cost management and implications for cost recovery (DP/2004/35) and the report on the assessment of the cost-recovery policy (DP/2007/36).

In principle, the indirect cost-recovery rate for bilateral and multilateral donor resources is arrived by (i) taking the $502 million of variable indirect costs attributed to these donor resources, and (ii) dividing this figure by the corresponding amount of planned bilateral/multilateral donor programme expenditures of $7,494 million (table 1, section 2 A.1, “Programmes”). This results in an indirect cost-recovery rate of 6.70 per cent ($502 million / $7,494 million = 0.0670).", "144. Within the context of evolving differentiation in services and presence, the above approach, which was originally approved in the 2004-2005 budget, may no longer be applicable for the purpose of determining an equitable burden-sharing of institutional costs between regular and other resources.

Accountability for delivery of planned results accrues to the concerned operational units at both Headquarters and country-office levels.", "Assessment of organizational capacities and identification of volume changes", "3. The second step in developing the institutional budget was to assess organizational capacity to deliver the management results, leading to the identification of priority areas that would require investment, as well as areas where efficiency gains could be realized. Based on this assessment, and using the existing organizational capacity as a base, the real increases or decreases in requirements were calculated and designated as volume changes. Volume changes, as defined, represent the controllable elements in the estimates, which are subject to the executive head’s assessment of what resources the organization requires to deliver the results to which it has committed. Such volume changes were calculated at the same price levels as the approved appropriations in order to facilitate comparison with the currently approved base.", "Various cost adjustments", "4. To the approved appropriations and volume changes are added cost increases or decreases attributable to changes in rates or conditions principally tied to salary and related entitlement cost adjustments. These typically reflect known changes that have occurred in the two years since the preparation of the last institutional budget. Such cost factors include, for example, decisions of the ICSC on a variety of staff entitlements (such as dependency allowance, education grant) and changes in the average step of posts by grade level. These adjustments may also include estimates to cover within-grade increments for staff if the experience of the organization so warrants. Normally, but not exclusively, such cost adjustments apply to staff costs. An example of this type of cost adjustment for operating expenses would be a change in rate per square foot due to a relocation of premises.", "Currency adjustments", "5. Currency adjustments are then calculated, by year, on the total of approved appropriations, volume and various cost adjustments. Currency adjustments represent the difference between the United Nations operational rate of exchange in effect during the time of preparation of the current institutional budget and the rate of exchange in effect during the preparation of the proposed budget.

The increase in non-priority costs of $31.1 million (3.2 per cent), an increase of $40 million (4.1 per cent) in proposed investments, partly offset by a net decrease of $49.3 million (5 per cent). This reflects the continuing need for budgetary discipline. It also illustrates the importance of continuing to invest in UNDP in order to ensure that the resources allocated to UNDP are responsible for the revised results endorsed during the midterm review of the strategic plan. Accordingly, in gross terms, the proposed budget for UNDP agencies for the period 2012-2013 amounts to $9319 million. It is expected that income will increase by $30 million, offset by gross estimates, and that the total amount of late income will increase to $75.4 million.

In addition, “The contribution of UNDP to human development lies in the cross-cutting nature of its development mandate and as an impartial multilateral partner. UNDP uses its breadth and depth of existence and knowledge to provide tailor-made policies and programmes based on the needs and priorities of partners, thereby contributing to national, regional and global levels.”", "In the light of this, the midterm review of the strategic plan established four overall priorities for the next three-5 years (2011-2016), which cross the area of UNDP activities and, at the time of the preparation of the next strategic plan (CAN), would be reviewed and evaluated annually. These four priorities are: (i) to accelerate progress towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals by strengthening critical enabling conditions, leading to a comprehensive and dynamic sustainable growth and development; (ii) to expand and strengthen governance to provide crisis support to programme countries; (iii) to strengthen knowledge-sharing and strategic programming to support change; and (iv) to ensure that UNDP keeps pace with the twenty-first century and that its institutional effectiveness is strengthened and that overall coherence in the United Nations development system is improved.", "The midterm review of the strategic plan also emphasized that “UNDP staff are the main assets and niche of the Organization”. The review emphasized the need to further strengthen strategic human resources management, bringing the skills portfolio and the workforce into line with the institutional needs. This is crucial to a knowledge-based institution providing policy advisory services and promoting human development. UNDP is developing a human capacity strategy to identify the number, patterns and skills mix of its future workforce. In order to match personnel, time and place, career development and support in the areas of policy, programme and institutional services will be established and supported by appropriate incentives through career skills development, leadership and monitoring programmes.", "The UNDP Agenda for Change, launched by the Administrator in April 2011, is expected to inject new vibrant institutions to successfully implement the recommendations of the midterm strategic plan. To that end, the role of UNDP as a knowledge-based-based global institution to address problems will be further strengthened to help developing countries to change and help to play the entire United Nations development system. The Agenda for Change recognizes that restoring institutional dynamism is a high priority for UNDP, particularly given the rapid and large-scale changes that are taking place in the area of development cooperation, and raises questions about the role that multilateral cooperation, in particular UNDP, is playing. The agenda recognizes the need for UNDP to focus more on what services most need and areas where services are most needed; to improve coherence in the quality and effectiveness of work; and to maintain its leadership in the area of multi-stakeholder development.", "The change agenda is based on improved functions and outcomes in three cross-sectoral areas: internal governance; institutional effectiveness; leadership, culture and behaviour. More specifically, the expected outcome of the change agenda is:", "(a) Develop a culture and capacity for strategic planning and management, using resources and actions in line with clear priorities;", "(b) Servicing according to the different needs of States;", "(c) A staff pool with up-to-date skills to provide policy advice that best peers can provide;", "(d) The design and management of programmes are transparent and consistent with the standards for design, quality, cost and leadership;", "(e) A faster pace of business and compliance processes, with lower costs and higher quality;", "(f) Enhance cooperation with existing partners and generate major changes in partnerships with the South and other stakeholders.", "In the period 2012-2013, the highest priority of UNDP was to accelerate the implementation of the Agenda for Change under the guidance of the Executive Board in decision 2011/14, in addition to the development of the 2010/11 strategic plan. Accordingly, the proposed institutional estimates for the period 2012-2013 and the related proposals of the Administrator will directly support the strategic plan's development and change agenda, with the following three main ways: (i) achieving institutional strategic results as a prerequisite and basis for achieving the results of development strategies and promoting each other; (ii) continuing strategic investment in institutions; and (iii) finding additional opportunities to enhance operational effectiveness and efficiency. Ultimately, the overall objective is to “enhance the performance of UNDP from good to good”, so as to maximize the assistance of programme countries in achieving development goals on the ground.", "The improved performance of UNDP is an excellent dynamic process. UNDP needs to do its best to make continuous improvements and investments to itself. In order to effectively meet the increasingly complex needs, UNDP will need to change the past absorptive approach by providing different services as needed. UNDP will continue to represent the United Nations system in the effective coordination of development activities, with different structures and different country presences, rather than moving a model. UNDP will be more strategically critical and resourced to the most needed areas, with predictability and flexibility in resource allocation. Overall, there is a strategic position, adequate funding and flexible UNDP that can work with development partners to effectively help the broader programme countries to find viable policy options and specific plans that anticipate the complex challenges that human development will face and act accordingly.", "The budget of the Agency for the period 2012-2013 is an integral part of the strategic plan. The revised institutional strategic results framework approved by the strategic plan reflects the harmonized cost classification endorsed by decision 2010/32, which presents results and indicators for planning, United Nations development coordination, development effectiveness and special objectives in accordance with decision 2011/10. This is central to the planning and budgeting of the organizational budget results for the period 2012-2013, as detailed in paragraphs 23 to 83 and table 2. Similarly, the organizational budget for the period 2012-2013 is fully included in the high-level resource projections for regular and other resources approved for the midterm strategic plan.

The way to achieve this is to improve methodologies in terms of cost classification, results-based budgeting, cost recovery and budget content development and presentation. In accordance with Executive Board decision 2011/10 and the joint informal consultations of the Executive Board, UNDP is ready to propose an integrated budget beginning in 2014, and to discuss the content, direction and implementation of the road map in informal consultations. The integrated budget will ultimately integrate institutional results planning and resources in the current institutional budget and development results planning and resources in the current programming arrangements into a planning and budget framework.", "Financial context", "Overview", "Table 1 shows the resource plan for the period 2012-2013.

However, a decrease of $200 million compared to the regular resources contributions for the initial plan for 2010-2011 shown in table 1.", "UNDP needs a sufficient and predictable regular resource base to carry out its mandate and to maintain its multilateral, fair and universal character in supporting programme countries in their development goals. The question of restoring the growth of United Nations development activities and enhancing the predictability of regular funding for activities was widely discussed, including in the recent three-year comprehensive policy review and in the relevant General Assembly resolutions 56/201, 59/250 and 62/208. However, the global economic crisis and the volatile exchange rate continue to pose challenges, in particular the strategic direction and sustainability of UNDP. The strategic plan would be jeopardized if voluntary contributions amounted to less than the objectives set out in the revised integrated resource framework set out in document DPKO 22. The impact of insufficient contributions is not only on UNDP, as the funding shortfall also threatens UNDP's ability to maintain a strong global platform on behalf of the United Nations system and to deploy its personnel in countries.", "In the light of the above, the Administrator recommends that a decrease of $112.1 million (12.3 per cent), compared to the 2010-2011 budget approved in decision 2010/1, is unprecedented. The above-mentioned decrease offset by an increase of $31.1 million (3.2 per cent) in non-priority costs and an increase of $40 million (4.1 per cent), resulting in a net decrease of $49.3 million (5 per cent) in the budget. The proposed budget for the Agency for the biennium 2012-2013 amounts to $9319 million gross and is expected to be offset by a total income of $754 million.", "The above-mentioned recommendation underscores the need for a structured budget through the control of management costs and efficiency, which could also be used as many resources as possible for development activities. It is expected that this recommendation will ultimately achieve an appropriate balance to ensure maximum accountability for the resources allocated to UNDP and to achieve the results set out in the strategic plan.", "The gross decrease of $112.1 million represents the result of the Agency's nuclear downsizing strategy to rationalize and share resources. The proposed reductions relate to: (i) increased operational effectiveness, including freezing positions; (ii) completion of one-time investments in the allocation of funds for the period 2010-2012; (iii) transfer of costs to extrabudgetary resources in order to better decentralize the burden, as requested by the Executive Board in its decisions 2005/33, 2006/30, 2007/18, 2008/1 and 2010/1; and (iv) increased transparency in the pooled management costs. In the opinion of the Administrator, a reduction of $11.2.1 million referred to would have an adverse impact on UNDP, affecting the success of UNDP in implementing and coordinating dual mandates through universal presence and personnel.", "The increase in the statutory cost estimate of $31.1 million is largely due to the impact of inflation on post adjustment and other welfare expenditure and the amount of salary increases at the regular level. These increases are generated through United Nations system-wide standards, directives and calculations issued by the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC). Therefore, there must be no discretion.", "In accordance with the organizational priorities and needs set out in the strategic plan, the Administrator identified several priority areas of investment for the period 2012-2013.

The allocation and allocation of resources took place within the organizational budget activities for the period 2012-2013. The implementation and monitoring of planned activities are carried out within the annual integrated unit work planning activities. In this regard, each unit prepares an annual integrated workplan outlining the results to be achieved and the inputs and resources required. This provides an objective basis for managers and staff to monitor their activities. The annual integrated workplan is essentially based on the results of the strategic plan.

It has piloted 10 countries to prepare a plan of action for a high-quality Millennium Goals accelerated framework. The United Nations Development Group subsequently endorsed that approach. In addition, the Millennium Development Goals Summit has, to some extent, prompted the international community to agree on the need for further accelerated progress towards the Millennium Development Goals, one of which is to make the Government and development partners more explicit in agreeing on the activities envisaged under the Millennium Goals accelerated framework action plan. These plans focus on bottlenecks in policies, investment and capacity that hinder progress, in particular the elimination of significant gender, income and geographical disparities.

However, in the first year, in 2012, non-recurrent investments were still required to stabilize business processes and work processes; support the ongoing verification of the initial balances; the actuarial valuation of employee welfare liabilities; further elaboration of reporting and interpretation policies; and support for country offices to address problems in order to reduce implementation risks.", "UNDP will establish a global service-sharing centre that will provide country offices with regular advisory services and support to deal with IPSAS complex transactions. The Centre is expected to provide an opportunity to achieve cost-effectiveness and to share knowledge and best practices. It will be located at a low-cost location of qualified personnel. It is expected that it will make a significant contribution to discussing other ways of establishing faster, costly and better business processes in UNDP.", "In the area of information and communications technology, UNDP has finalized the 2012-2013 road map. The road map addresses the important role of information and communications technology in providing strategic advisory services and institutional value-added services and improving reporting preparation, compliance and risk management. UNDP needs to invest in a non-recurrent manner in the period 2012-2013 and significantly strengthen the institutional resource planning system in order to strengthen institutional services in the area of Atras system security, human resources management, IPSAS and programme management, while enhancing Internet capacity. In order to improve overall reporting, compliance and risk management, UNDP needs to invest in non-recurrent investments in the areas of results management, strategic reporting preparation and archiving.", "During the period 2012-2013, UNDP will need to invest in the area of information and communications technology in order to consolidate and utilize strategic investments in Intranet, the Internet and the Intranet in 2010-2011, as well as investment in strengthening the organization-wide knowledge management and sharing capacity. UNDP redesigned and consolidated the Intranet to increase internal efficiency and support the consolidation and harmonization of internal results and information management tools. The Internet is now managed through the content management system, which has resulted in a change in the content, image and structure of the website by only those with minimal technical knowledge. The Intranet provides UNDP with institutional platforms to support collaboration, knowledge sharing, communication and networking with external development partners.", "The number and complexity of requests for complaints and investigations received by the Investigation Unit of the Audit and Investigation Service has increased. Of particular concern is the increase in the number of alleged violations related to fraud and other financial activities. These situations and the necessary follow-up may hamper the normal work of staff without prompt processing and resolution, affecting the quality and value of strategic work. Therefore, UNDP considers it necessary to increase investment in the capacity of the survey team.", "In this context, the Administrator proposes to invest $21 million in regular resources to support enhanced institutional value-added services and accountability. Of that amount, $10 million will be used for direct support for the adoption of IPSAS, $3.8 million for non-recurrent investments, $6.2 million for regular investments, and funding for the Global Service Sharing Centre, including the establishment of 10 international Professional positions and 30 local positions. Another $10 million was used to support information and communications technology activities, with $6.1 million being non-recurrent investments and $3.9 million being regular investments. In addition, UNDP is proposing a regular investment of $1 million for the Investigation Unit to establish two international professional positions.", "Budget estimates of income", "The total estimated income for the budget of the Agency in 2012-2013 amounted to $75.4 million, representing an increase of $3.3 million over 2010-2011.

The direct payment of cash and voluntary contributions and the calculation of $34.9 million for in-kind contributions amounted to $12.4 million. This indicates an increase in real receipts from 74 per cent (49.3 million United States dollars in real receipts for 2008) to 75 per cent (a percentage of the target of $66.4 million for contributions in 2009) (a percentage of the amount of $47.3 million for contributions target $62.9 million) and an increase of 1 percentage points.", "The Administrator appreciated the improvements made by many programme countries in meeting the Government's obligations to pay local office costs. However, performance in middle-income countries remains less than desirable.

The proposed changes in all senior posts are fully reflected in table 3.", "At the D-2 level, the proposed changes relate to the freezing of three D-2 posts and the reclassification of three posts from D-2 to D-1. It was also recommended that three new D-2 posts be established for senior economists and senior national directors in Southern Sudan and Yemen. In addition, taking into account the special political, development, representation and operational circumstances, it was recommended that the post of the Yemen Resident Coordinator be reclassified from the D-1 level to the D-2 level.", "One new D-1 post is proposed for the post of Chief of the Regional Transition Team in the Arab States.

Under the terms of the post structure of the United Nations, the cost of the latter is shared by UNDP and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations. The temporary conversion of eight existing Resident Coordinator posts to the National Director is considered to be prudent for the use of existing resources, as well as a practical temporary solution to respond to the recommendations of the triennial comprehensive policy review that UNDP should strengthen its country office capacity to respond to complex emergencies. As soon as the individual arrangements for the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General have been concluded, the temporary post of the National Director should be reinstated as Resident Coordinator and should seek to find a longer-term solution to the establishment of the post of National Director.", "Other resources", "Projections", "Figure 3 presents planned expenditure on the budget.

In contrast, the activities and costs of UNDP country office staff are considered to be management-related and are therefore fully charged to the regular or other resources of the institutional budget or extrabudgetary accounts. This is clearly no longer the case because of the evolving mandate of UNDP, where funding comes from a variety of aspects, the evolving implementation arrangements, including a greater focus on advocacy and policy advice.", "In principle, all project activities and associated costs defined in the country programme action plan, the annual project workplan and the project documents are assigned to the Government to the appropriate bodies. This NEX/NIM assumes that programme countries undertake all project implementation activities and translate all project inputs into concrete development results and outputs. It also means that 93 per cent of the donor's share of costs and trust fund resources based on NEX/country implementation models (79 per cent of the cost-sharing costs of programme countries) are directly used for government agencies, agencies and agencies project activities. At the same time, it means that, through the adoption of a policy approved by the Executive Board in decision 2007/18, the cost of recovering 7 per cent of the general management services will be recovered in full by UNDP as an extrabudgetary resource.", "Furthermore, in accordance with the national implementation/country accountability framework for the roles of programme Governments and UNDP, all oversight and related activities of UNDP (i.e. general management services) should be funded from the institutional budget or extrabudgetary accounts. In addition, in accordance with UNDP policies and procedures, all relevant implementation activities undertaken by UNDP should be directly recorded in the relevant projects or programmes. This approach applies equally to the Government's implementation/national implementation (NEX/NIM) model for implementing partners and UNDP, as well as the UNDP direct implementation (DIM) model for implementing partners.", "At present, UNDP has faced three interrelated and interdependent challenges in further defining what other resources play to assist in the achievement of institutional results and development outcomes and in helping UNDP fund-raising efforts as a whole. The first challenge relates to the issue highlighted in the Agenda for Change: different needs of States cannot be used in a simplistic approach that cannot be focused on the delivery of services and that the form of a presence cannot be changed. This challenge is addressed primarily through the Agenda for Change and relevant initiatives such as country office types, project implementation modalities and programming arrangements.", "The second challenge relates to the transfer of costs and their sources of funding to development activities or institutional activities in a more transparent and equitable manner. Applications and monitoring for improved activities within the framework of accountability (NEX/NIM) for enhanced central management costs (paras.", "The third challenge is to better coordinate resource flows to extrabudgetary accounts with institutional activities, as institutional activities support development activities funded by other resources. Extrabudgetary resources are largely generated through the application of cost recovery policies. This policy requires at least 7 per cent of all third-party cost-sharing and trust fund contributions, [4] to recover at least 3 per cent of all government cost-sharing contributions to finance the activities of the agencies concerned (i.e. general management services). Institutional activities funded from regular resources should not be adequately supported (subsidised) by activities assigned to other resources.

These cost factors include the decision of ICSC on the various entitlements of staff (e.g. dependency allowances and education grant) and changes in the average number of posts. If the organization's situation permits, these adjustments may also include the estimates of salary, such as staff. Such cost adjustments generally involve staff costs, but are not limited to that. For example, changes in per square foot price due to the relocation of premises fall within the scope of such operating costs.", "Currency adjustments", "Currency adjustments are then calculated on a year-by-year basis, in accordance with the approved appropriation, quantity and the total cost adjustments.

"达尔富尔和平进程", "2. 4月27日，非盟-联合国联合调解支助小组向苏丹政府、解放与正义运动(解放运动)和正义与平等运动(正义运动)提交了一份和平协议草案。该草案的基础是讨论达成的协议要点，以及调解小组根据以往与有关各方围绕分歧点进行的讨论提交的建议，包括政治任命、达尔富尔行政地位和安保安排。苏丹政府和解放运动代表团随后表示支持该草案，解放运动还于4月30日公开表示，该协定提供了一个可以接受的办法，用以解决一系列有争议的问题。正义运动谋求与苏丹政府开展进一步的谈判，就人权和基本自由章节的有关规定达成了协议。5月3日，双方在谈判进程的范围和程序问题上产生分歧，导致谈判破裂。", "3. 随后，调解小组于5月27日至31日在多哈举行的达尔富尔问题全体利益攸关方会议上征求了达尔富尔社会代表对案文草案的反馈意见。会议的组织和举办得到了卡塔尔政府的大力支持和达尔富尔混合行动的协助。冲突当事方、民间社会团体、政治党派、民选官员、难民和散居国外的达尔富尔人等大约500人共同参加了会议。会上未散发协议草案，但向各利益攸关方介绍了草案中的主要内容，以此作为讨论的基础。此外还为评估迄今取得的进展举行了一次国际伙伴会议。", "4. 在利益攸关方会议之前和会议期间，在与会者的甄选和行动方面遭遇了一些挑战。达尔富尔混合行动与三个州府的民间社会后续行动机制开展合作，根据调解小组规定的标准遴选参加会议的民间社会代表。在尼亚拉，州政府坚持要求一个由全国大会党支持者组成的替代民间社会机制参与与会代表的遴选工作，并于5月2日拘留了民间社会后续行动机制的一名领导成员。由于机位限制，有7名境内流离失所者无法按原定日程于5月26日搭乘包机从尼亚拉飞往多哈。", "5. 此外，在与会者的遴选方面，国家情报和安全局还于4月27日在尼亚拉逮捕了一名达尔富尔混合行动的本国民政干事。政府当局告知达尔富尔混合行动，这名工作人员被拘留的原因与他在遴选利益攸关方会议与会人员方面发挥的作用有关。达尔富尔混合行动与苏丹政府进行了会晤，提出务必尊重《部队地位协定》，后来获准探访这名工作人员，该名工作人员以前就有心脏病，健康状况不佳。特派团请求允许这名工作人员到达尔富尔混合行动医院就诊，但遭到国家情报和安全局拒绝。", "6. 利益攸关方会议开始后，会议程序由若干次全体会议和工作组会议组成，在全体会议期间，与会者获悉了有关协定草案的主要内容；在工作组会议期间，各方表明了各自的立场，与会者就协议提出了评论意见。工作组会议的重点议题是人权和基本自由、赔偿和回返、分享权力和财富以及达尔富尔内部对话和协商。会议期间，苏丹政府和解放运动的代表强调了协议条款的可取之处，特别是在分享财富和支持回归者等领域；而正义运动则对草案提出了批评，认为它未能充分满足达尔富尔人民的愿望。民间社会代表最广泛讨论的议题包括赔偿、安保、达尔富尔行政地位和追究以往侵犯人权行为的责任。", "7. 在5月31日的闭幕仪式上，与会者核可了一项公报，规定多哈文件草案构成实现达尔富尔永久停火、包容各方的全面和平解决以及可持续和平与稳定的基础。此外，公报呼吁苏丹政府和各武装运动尽一切努力在该文件基础上实现永久停火和全面解决。为支持这些努力，主要国际伙伴打算成立一个由卡塔尔政府牵头的达尔富尔执行后续行动委员会。该委员会将作为一个友邻小组支持实施该协议。", "8. 利益攸关方会议结束后，联合首席调解人和卡塔尔外交国务大臣于6月13日在亚的斯亚贝巴向非洲联盟委员会主席、6月14日在开罗向阿拉伯国家联盟(阿盟)秘书长和6月20日向我本人提交了文件草案。非盟主席、阿盟秘书长和我就谈判成果向调解人和外交国务大臣表示祝贺，并欢迎以草案为基础继续努力实现全面和平。", "9. 6月14日，正义运动就多哈谈判发表声明，质疑利益攸关方会议的包容性，指出会议核可的是各方争议的问题，而不是草案文件。不过，正义运动仍声称愿意继续谈判。6月3日和9日，苏丹政府和正义运动在多哈举行了双边会谈，但由于在谈判范围上发生分歧而陷入僵局。苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派和苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派既没有参加会议，也没有就会议成果发表意见。", "10. 与此同时，达尔富尔混合行动与非洲联盟高级别执行小组一道，继续为基于达尔富尔的政治进程作出规划。这些安排符合4月8日非洲联盟和平与安全理事会第271次会议结束时发表的公报，该公报除其他外，请达尔富尔混合行动作为优先事项为政治进程进行一切必要准备，并强调这一举措应与多哈谈判同时进行，对多哈谈判作出补充。达尔富尔混合行动、执行小组和其他国际伙伴目前正与苏丹政府开展接触，以便为政治进程确定和营造有利的环境。苏丹政府方面则重申其承诺，表示将终止在达尔富尔实施的紧急状态法。", "11. 在未来规划方面，非洲联盟和联合国经与国际伙伴协商，计划召开一系列会议，以拟定国际社会持续参与达尔富尔和平进程的未来框架。", "达尔富尔全民投票和增设两个州", "12. 3月29日，苏丹政府颁布总统令，规定就达尔富尔地位举行有全民投票。总统令遭到了各武装运动的广泛谴责，苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派、正义运动和苏丹解放军-母亲派于4月2日发表联合声明，其中除其他外对总统令表示反对，发誓不承认投票结果，并呼吁达尔富尔人民坚决反对总统令。同样，反对派政党的成员和境内流离失所者也在与达尔富尔混合行动会谈时对此表示不满，认为这是单方面的行动，并对当前政治和安全环境下能否实施该举措表示担忧。", "13. 全国选举委员会已开始为公民投票进行筹备，并于4月12日正式请求达尔富尔混合行动和联合国苏丹特派团给予物资和技术援助。达尔富尔混合行动和非洲联盟高级别执行小组鼓励苏丹政府在举行全民投票之前，在各个利益攸关方中建立基础广泛的支持。这个问题仍然是苏丹政府和解放运动之间的谈判内容。6月26日，各方同意一旦签署协议即在协议签署一年后举行公民投票。", "14. 5月5日，部长理事会通过了关于在达尔富尔增设两个州的立法，中部增设一个州以扎林盖为首府，东南部增设一个州以埃代因为首府。该法案目前已提交国民议会核准。包括苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派、苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派在内的一些武装运动、反对派政党和民间社会的某些部门在与达尔富尔混合行动会谈时抱怨说，增设两个州将加剧达尔富尔各族裔群体之间的分裂。", "区域事态发展", "15. 近几个月来，苏丹和阿拉伯利比亚民众国之间的关系恶化。6月20日，苏丹政府公开指责阿拉伯利比亚民众国招募“苏丹雇佣军”。苏丹政府还对来自阿拉伯利比亚民众国的武器弹药可能流入达尔富尔表示担忧，并加强了其武装力量在西北达尔富尔的存在。", "16. 5月5日，根据《达喀尔协议》的规定，乍得-苏丹联合边境巡逻部队总部从乍得阿贝歇迁往西达尔富尔的朱奈纳。5月23日，苏丹、乍得和中非共和国政府在喀土穆举行三方峰会，签署了《喀土穆宣言》。根据该宣言，各方除其他外承诺成立三方联合部队，以监测三国边境地区。", "各派运动的联盟和统一", "17. 近几个月来，一些武装运动之间组成了新的联盟。5月14日，苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派和苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派发布结盟宣言，宣布双方同意携手合作，尤其是“开展联合行动、协调政治和军事努力，推翻全国大会党政府”。同样，5月8日，苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派和苏丹解放军-朱巴派也宣布结盟；5月20日，苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派和苏丹解放军-母亲派宣布两派重新统一在阿卜杜勒·瓦希德旗下。5月18日，解放运动的一个分裂派别与正义运动签署了一项协议，5月25日，该派别又与苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派结盟。", "安全局势", "18. 从2月底到4月10日，政府与各运动力量之间的战斗暂时得到缓解。4月10日，苏丹武装部队对驻扎在北达尔富尔穆斯巴特(库图姆以北127公里)的苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派和正义运动的联合部队进行了空袭。4月11、12和13日，苏丹武装部队与派别地面部队在同一地区又相互进行空袭并发生冲突。4月13日，达尔富尔混合行动巡逻队在穆斯巴特偏西的Turba遇到一支车队，自称苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派和正义运动联盟的联合部队。4月17日，该地区出现军事活动，达尔富尔混合行动分别在东面更远的Jebel Eisa(马勒哈以北37公里)和El Hara(马勒哈以北62公里)附近观察到苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派和正义运动联盟的车队。", "19. 在军事活动增加的这段时期，达尔富尔混合行动多次观察到苏丹武装部队在马勒哈和库图姆部署攻击直升机，并向马勒哈、库图姆和蒂内增派部队。苏丹武装部队指挥官表示，部队和装备的集结意在防止各派武装运动在阿拉伯利比亚民众国和达尔富尔之间调动。", "20. 5月1日，当地居民告诉达尔富尔混合行动巡逻队，苏丹武装部队4月24日对Tangarara村(尚吉尔托巴伊以北20公里)附近地区进行了空袭。4月25日，苏丹武装部队的飞机据说对东杰贝尔马拉境内Ruwata、Owsajini和Burgu村周围的苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派的部队进行了空袭。根据苏丹武装部队提供的信息，4月27日，苏丹武装部队与苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派的地面部队在Gur Lumbung(尼亚拉以北11公里)发生了冲突。没有伤亡报告。", "21. 在南达尔富尔，4月6日，达尔富尔混合行动在布拉姆通往费菲的公路上看到一个由大约100辆苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派和正义运动车辆组成的车队向南行驶。达尔富尔混合行动随后收到了苏丹武装部队指挥官的报告，称苏丹武装部队在与南苏丹交界的布拉姆以南116公里的阿尔费菲附近与一个车队发生交火，但未经证实。", "22. 另在南达尔富尔，苏丹武装部队据报发现了运动派别的部队，随后于5月15日在拉巴多投下4枚炸弹，还在Esheraya村(埃代因以南30公里)附近投下几枚炸弹。拉巴多附近的轰炸造成1名平民死亡，还有1人受伤。达尔富尔混合行动因受到政府的限制，无法对Esheraya的轰炸情况进行评估。苏丹武装部队指挥官后来表示，在穆哈吉里耶、拉巴多、萨尼亚芬杜、沙伊里尔、马拉和亚辛附近发现了运动派别的部队，认为这是苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派的部队。5月16日和17日，苏丹武装部队的飞机在Kuma(法希尔东北60公里)和Sukamair(法希尔以北68公里)附近进行了空袭。没有伤亡报告。5月18日，苏丹武装部队的飞机在Baashim村(库图姆东北80公里)以及Um Rayi村和Hashaba村(分别位于库图姆东北72公里和62公里)对派别车队进行了空袭，根据当地的消息，造成10人死亡。", "23. 苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派以前控制的地区仍有战斗，5月31日和6月3日，扎格哈瓦人要求归还被盗牲畜，随后，一伙不明身份的武装人员在Abu Zereiga(Dar El Salam东北20公里)附近与一伙扎格哈瓦人发生冲突。达尔富尔混合行动的一个核查小组证实，1名手无寸铁的酋长在战斗中被打死，还有至少4名平民很可能也被打死。6月17日，一个被怀疑忠于苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派的身份不明的武装团伙袭击了人民保卫部队在老尚吉尔托巴伊村的前哨阵地。袭击者放火焚烧了几栋房屋，一时造成大约1 000名平民流离失所，并造成6名士兵和人数不详的平民死亡。6月18日，达尔富尔混合行动因医疗原因将15人(包括13名平民)从尚吉尔托巴伊医院后送至法希尔。", "24. 5月25日，哈萨希萨难民营的11名居民在Azoom(扎林盖以西50公里)与地方政府官员进行了会晤，讨论如何鼓励回返，此后难民营内的安全局势有所恶化。这11名境内流离失所者返回营地后，被来自该难民营的一伙年轻人扣留。经达尔富尔混合行动干预后，其中8名被拘留者于5月28日得到释放，其余3人10天后也被释放。尽管达尔富尔混合行动试图通过谈判化解局势，但6月8日和9日仍爆发了冲突，造成11名境内流离失所者死亡。在达尔富尔混合行动的协助下，紧张局势随后得到平息，6月18日，达尔富尔混合行动与难民营和青年领导人举行了会议，达尔富尔混合行动在会上获悉，被拘留的境内流离失所者和难民营领导人之间的关系有所改善。", "部族冲突", "25. 在本报告所述期间，部族斗殴情况仍然较少，仅有3次冲突。第一次冲突涉及4月16日比尔吉德部落和雷扎伊加特部落的武装团伙在Kulaykili(尼亚拉东南130公里)的斗殴，这次斗殴是在雷扎伊加部落的一伙武装人员因几名比尔吉德人涉嫌参与盗抢而要求赔偿后发生的。共有14名比尔吉德人吉特，包括1名部落长者(部族领袖)和2名雷扎伊加人被打死。事件发生后，南达尔富尔州州长成立了一个特别调查委员会。", "26. 第二个事件是，4月19日，有人提出了偷盗骆驼的指控，随后塔艾沙部落和雷扎伊加部落的武装团伙在南达尔富尔盖雷伊达附近发生冲突。共有8人在战斗中死亡(5名塔艾沙人和3名雷扎伊加人)。部族领袖随后启动了和解程序，雷扎伊加部落按照这个程序对失窃骆驼进行了赔偿。第三个事件是，6月19日，南达尔富尔的萨拉马特部落和哈巴尼亚部落的武装团伙在Nadhif(尼亚拉以南125公里)附近，就牲畜失窃和边界划分发生冲突，据报造成13人死亡、10人受伤。", "27. 在扎林盖地区，2010年3月至9月，米塞里亚部落和雷扎伊加特-纳瓦巴部落发生殴斗，估计造成700死亡，为了改善扎林盖地区的部族关系，达尔富尔混合行动5月为在Hillabeyda(扎林盖以东25公里)举行的部族间会议提供了大力支持。援助形式有安全保障、运输和提供技术咨询。与会代表来自各个团体，包括部落行政机构、民间社会、Aughada(阿拉伯部落民兵领导人)和当地政府官员。会上为加强安全和改善部族关系提出了若干建议，并建立了一个后续行动机制，以落实这些建议，并在该区域其他地方举行类似的会议。", "行动限制", "28. 4月1日至6月30日期间，达尔富尔混合行动进行了23 999次巡逻，在此期间，特派团的陆上行动有68次受到限制。其中65次是苏丹武装部队或国家情报和安全局以及三派武装运动实施的。在绝大多数情况下，政府的军事或情报部门限制了达尔富尔混合行动的巡逻。巡逻范围要么位于政府怀疑有各运动力量驻扎的地区内，要么则要求进入该地区。4月1日至6月30日期间，达尔富尔混合行动进行了5 771次飞行，但苏丹武装部队和其他政府官员拒绝了60次放飞申请。大部分限制都是针对试图进入或飞越东杰贝勒马拉赫或军事活动区的航班实行的。", "安全保障", "29. 达尔富尔混合行动的维持和平人员和人道主义人员受到攻击的次数仍然很少，部分原因是达尔富尔混合行动的军事人员和警察保持强势姿态。", "30. 达尔富尔混合行动的维和人员受到2次武装袭击，第一次是在4月5日，几名不明身份的武装人员伏击了一个从法托博尔诺(库图姆西南17公里)返回库图姆的巡逻队。袭击中1名助理被打死，另1人受伤，一辆有2名警察顾问和1名语文助理乘坐的达尔富尔混合行动车辆被劫持。其中2名工作人员受了轻伤，随后被释放，第三人(即警察顾问)的尸体在附近的遗弃车辆中被发现。第二次事件是在4月18日，一名身份不明的袭击者在Hotwashi(法希尔西南30公里)向护送世界粮食计划署(粮食署)车队的达尔富尔混合行动巡逻队开枪，击中1辆汽车。没有人受伤。", "31. 5月6日，达尔富尔混合行动的1名本国语文助理在法希尔被国家情报和安全局逮捕，随后被移送到喀土穆。据政府官员说，这名工作人员被拘留是因为他煽动阿布舒克难民营内的境内流离失所者参加反政府示威。6月27日，达尔富尔混合行动获准探视该名工作人员。", "32. 经苏丹政府和粮食署密集努力后，1月13日在西达尔富尔Shalaya遭绑架的联合国人道主义空运处定约聘用的3名机组人员于6月6日被释放。", "33. 过去3个月来，达尔富尔混合行动或人道主义机构车辆劫持事件的数目从1月1日至3月31日的10起减至5起。除了在上述4月5日攻击中被劫持后抛弃的达尔富尔混合行动的车辆外，6月1日还有一辆达尔富尔混合行动车辆在尼亚拉Deriege难民营被15名武装人员劫持，6月11日又有一辆汽车被3名武装人员劫持。在6月11日的事件中，行车时坐在前排乘客座位上的1名达尔富尔混合行动维和人员受了轻伤。", "三. 人道主义局势", "34. 虽然在改善人道主义援助准入方面取得一些进展，但政府与运动部队之间的不断冲突，继续对人道主义局势产生消极影响。政府和人道主义国家工作队认可的数字显示，2010年初至今，已有60 000至70 000人因战斗而离开尚吉尔托巴伊和东吉贝勒马拉，流落他乡。此外，南达尔富尔州政府当局以武装运动的存在为由，禁止人道主义机构在5月15日至6月15日期间前往离尼亚拉15公里之外的地方。", "35. 4月11日，国家情报和安全局进入卡尔马难民营，逮捕了一名居民(此人还是一个国际非政府组织的工作人员)。4月13日，青年境内流离失所者为了报复，绑架了营地内11名本国援助工作者。在达尔富尔混合行动和联合国机构进行干预后，这些青年24小时后释放了援助工作者。此后，政府当局对卡尔马的人道主义援助准入进行了两个月的部分限制，只允许国际援助工作者在一些情形下进入营地。此外，医疗用品和水泵燃料只是按个案处理的方式获准进入营地。本国非政府组织工作人员可以继续在诊所工作，也可以向营地居民供水；这些限制后来都被取消。", "36. 为了改进人道主义援助准入，5月1日，达尔富尔混合行动和人道主义机构启动了“春篮行动”，这项举措旨在改善几个月来无法进入的达尔富尔部分地区的准入情况并向这些地区提供援助。该行动力求接触大约400 000名受益人，由达尔富尔混合行动和援助工作者进行需求评估并发放援助。在此行动期间，向以下地点提供了人道主义物资：艾恩希罗、库图姆、基林、库马加拉达亚特、戈罗、卡谷罗、蒂纳、哈拉和萨容。萨容是苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派控制区内的小镇，这是2009年以来人道主义机构第一次前往该镇执行任务。", "37. 此外，为了改进东吉贝勒马拉的准入和提供援助情况，达尔富尔混合行动和苏丹驻地协调员/人道主义协调员同苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派和政府磋商，同意在南达尔富尔的费纳新设一个达尔富尔混合行动队部。", "38. 在保健领域，世界卫生组织(世卫组织)、联合国儿童基金会(儿基会)和各州卫生部门在全区域范围内进行了脊灰炎和麻疹疫苗接种活动。活动包括对边远农村地区部落进行疫苗接种，并对以前发生过麻疹疫情的地区进行“清理”。", "39. 在改善供水方面，4月26日，达尔富尔混合行动启动一项水资源举措，向回返者发放大容量滚动载水器。载水器主要是方便妇女和儿童把大量井水运回家，从而通过减少必须离开营地或村庄取水的次数，降低他们受骚扰和遭遇暴力的风险。计划在达尔富尔各地发放总共3 000个载水器。", "40. 6月27日和28日，在喀土穆举行了达尔富尔水资源促进可持续和平国际会议。与会者试图在达尔富尔设立一个新的综合水管理框架，以确保适当管理水资源。会议组织者力求为65个项目筹措资金。以便建立一个公正和可持续的水服务系统。大约500人出席会议，他们代表(除其他外)苏丹政府、达尔富尔混合行动、儿基会、联合国开发计划署(开发署)、联合国教育、科学及文化组织、联合国环境规划署、捐助者和其他国际行动者。捐助者在会议上各个水事项目认捐共计500 000美元。", "四. 法治、治理和人权", "41. 参照过去12个月的趋势，达尔富尔混合行动在最近3个月间记录了97起侵犯人权事件，涉及274名受害者。达尔富尔混合行动为了改进保护人权工作，继续向政府当局表达人权方面的关注，继续增进安全机构的能力。共为202名政府警察、国家情报和安全局官员和农村法庭法官开设了课程，使他们受到了基本人权概念以及逮捕和拘留程序方面的培训。", "42. 达尔富尔混合行动记录的性暴力和基于性别的暴力案件的数目稍有减少，从2011年第一季度的29起事件(54名被害者)减至17起事件(26名受害者)。为提高政府机构防止和应对此类事件的能力举行了几期讲习班。例如，4月2日，达尔富尔混合行动在法希尔为17名女议员举行了一期讲习班，讲授女议员在履行各州义务，防止性暴力和基于性别的暴力方面的作用。还例如，5月1日和2日向扎林盖的39名中央预备役警察、5月3日和4日向杰奈纳的检察官提供了性别问题的培训。", "43. 此外，达尔富尔混合行动继续监测审判情况，使其合乎国际人权原则。在一起案件中，2人因参与2月21日从艾得富尔桑盗窃世界展望组织的2部车辆，5月2日在尼亚拉被判定有罪，处以10年监禁。法庭还判处一名16岁男孩6年少儿管教，因为他参与了2010年11月4日绑架粮食署订约聘用的3名航空工作人员。", "44. 按照政府与达尔富尔混合行动交换的谅解备忘录，4月份在杰奈纳和扎林盖成立了3个监狱发展委员会，5月份在尼亚拉成立了1个监狱发展委员会。这些委员会将作为一个论坛，设法解决监狱面临的难题和推动监狱改革。", "45. 达尔富尔混合行动继续同政府当局协作，以增强惩教干事的能力并改善囚犯条件。关于这一点，达尔富尔混合行动于4月10日至14日和5月15日至19日分别为北达尔富尔和南达尔富尔狱政人员举办了“监狱基本责任和监狱管理人权方法”课程。此外，还实施了一些项目，以改善囚犯的生计前景和条件。达尔富尔混合行动同联合国人类住区规划署协作，向南达尔富尔的60名囚犯提供了制造土坯砖方面的职业培训。受训人员生产的土坯砖将用于监狱建设项目。4月27日，杰奈纳一所监狱完成了一个由速效项目资金供资的供水和环境卫生项目。此外，3月30日和31日，达尔富尔混合行动与世卫组织、开发署和卫生部协作，组织了一次医疗营地活动，1 000名囚犯及其家属以及法希尔当地社区的成员从中受益。", "保护儿童", "46. 继续努力协助以前参与武装冲突的儿童。正义运动-和平派参加了政府于4月17日至29日在杰奈纳主办的复员活动。在活动期间，向苏丹北方解除武装、复员和重返社会委员会递交了一份以前同武装部队有联系的65名儿童名单，以进行登记和处理。", "47. 2011年初以来，达尔富尔混合行动举办了28期保护儿童培训班。大约934名混合行动人员从中受益，其中包括128名平民、580名联合国警察和226名维和人员。此外，4月份，达尔富尔混合行动还协同瑞典拯救儿童联合会举办了1次为期4天的培训员培训班，有47名军事人员、联合国警察和联合国军事观察员受益。该方案还扩大到本国行动者，为477个当地伙伴举办了13次培训班。受益人员包括34名政府警察、境内流离失所者营地内的255名社区治安志愿者、29名社区领导人、境内流离失所者营地保护儿童委员会的57名成员、82名民间社会团体成员和20名触犯法律的儿童。", "五. 保护平民", "48. 在最近3个月期间，达尔富尔混合行动开展了几次主动行动，以改进保护平民工作和援助工作者及其资产的安全保障。", "49. 达尔富尔混合行动的军事和警务人员增加了在达尔富尔各地的存在和保护活动，每天巡逻次数由平均130次增加到160次。这包括增加对农村地区(包括吉贝勒马拉、杰贝勒穆恩(杰奈纳以北)和南达尔富尔——南苏丹边界)各社区进行中长程巡逻。后勤安排完成后可以向达尔富尔混合行动在尚吉尔托巴伊和阿贝歇湾的队部部署文职人员，从而能更好地同人道主义行动者协调达尔富尔混合行动的活动。", "50. 在达尔富尔混合行动保护平民战略的框架内，通过为达尔富尔混合行动高级管理人员印发保护平民分析周报，加强了预警和早期反应机制。此外，通过建立每周军民协调会议制度，人道主义行动者的活动同达尔富尔混合行动军事和警察人员的协调也得到改善。", "51. 结合保护回返者，联合核查机制继续对达尔富尔回返人员的自愿性和适当性进行评估。自2011年初以来，自愿回返的速度为大约每周1 500人。大多数回返者都是从南达尔富尔的难民营返回西达尔富尔农村地区。", "六. 特派团的部署和行动", "52. 截至6月30日，达尔富尔混合行动有文职人员4 466人，其中国际工作人员1 145人，本国工作人员2 835人，联合国志愿人员486人，占5 516人核定人数的81%。由于达尔富尔的生活条件恶劣且安全局势难以预料，特派团仍然难以征聘和留住有适当资格的工作人员。在增派国际工作人员方面，36名工作人员已抵达任务区，32人离职，1名候选人拒绝了特派团发出的聘用通知。", "53. 截至6月30日，达尔富尔混合行动有军事人员18 014人，占19 555人核定人数的92%，这个数字包括17 451名官兵、302名参谋、61名联络官和195名军事观察员。埃塞俄比亚多功能后勤队、卢旺达中等旋转翼通用航空部队和尼日利亚区侦察后备连有望在今年晚些时候部署，新来的塞内加尔营预计到2011年10月满员。2个中等旋转翼通用航空部队和1个固定翼空中侦察部队仍未满员。", "54. 过去三个月中，军事特遣队的准备和自我维持能力稍有改善。目前，17个步兵营中的5个营和16个建制警察部队中的4个部队存在重大装备短缺问题，装备可用率也低于规定的90%。", "55. 达尔富尔混合行动有警察2 751人(男性80%，女性20%)，占3 772人核定人数的73%。建制警察部队人数为2 233人，占2 660人核定人数的83%。", "56. 达尔富尔混合行动的军事人员共进行12 325次巡逻，包括5 589次例行巡逻、999次短程巡逻、643次远程巡逻、2 538次夜间巡逻、623次人道主义护送和1 933次后勤/行政巡逻，覆盖共计7 129个村庄和境内流离失所者营地。达尔富尔混合行动警察共进行了11 674次巡逻。其中6 918次是营地内巡逻，护送各组离开村庄和营地的砍柴拾草者，主要是妇女和儿童；2 846次是在村庄和市场及其周围巡逻；1 910次是短程和远程巡逻。", "57. 4月至6月，政府根据第十次三方协调机制会上达成的协议，向达尔富尔混合行动人员签发了1 103个新的入境签证。截至6月26日，还有1 070人的签证申请有待批准。其中775人是警察，96人是军事参谋和观察员，199人是文职人员，其中包括咨询人和访客。虽然待批的入境签证申请数目仍居高不下，但外交部一直在快速审理那些雇用合同连带居留签证于6月30日(即2010/11两年期截止日)过期的大批达尔富尔混合行动工作人员的签证。苏丹政府随后承诺审批所有积压待批的入境签证申请。", "58. 在落实达尔富尔混合行动电台广播互联方案方面取得了进展。6月26日，达尔富尔混合行动与国家公共广播公司签署了谅解备忘录，据此，特派团将于7月1日起在萨拉姆和达尔富尔州广播电台播放节目。", "59. 达尔富尔混合行动各队部逐步得到发展和改善。尽管有后勤方面的挑战，但在30个队部中，12个队部的改善工作已经完工。其余18个队部处于不同竣工阶段，定于2011年7月31日前结束。还有7个队部的工作定于2011年12月31日前完成。按特派任务生活津贴标准为1 526名国际工作人员建造的宿舍已经竣工。这一进展极大地提高了达尔富尔混合行动驻达尔富尔工作人员的生活条件、安全保障和士气。", "60. 自上次报告以来，又打了11口井眼；使完工的水井总数达到35个。这些井眼均与当地社区共享，旨在改善社区饮水条件。关于上次报告中提及的与一家国际公司订约打25口井眼的计划，由于难以获得签证和调动钻井设备，这项合同已被取消。", "61. 社区警务中心的施工仍在进行之中。计划建造的70个中心中有13个中心已经完工，3个中心接近完工。", "62. 过去3个月中又完成了总共30个速效项目。总共288个项目已完成65%，65个新项目获准实施。由于不安全和地方执行伙伴能力低下，几个项目进展不大。", "63. 达尔富尔混合行动继续在达尔富尔各地减少未爆弹药的威胁。特派团探明且销毁了超过314枚弹药，还向约33 000名平民提供了风险意识培训。共有645公里的道路被评定为可安全使用。完成视觉和浅层风险评估的面积共计72 629平方米。", "64. 关于解除武装、复员和重返社会事宜，北苏丹解除武装、复员和重返社会委员会安排了苏丹解放军-母亲派、苏丹解放军-自由意愿派、正义运动-和平派及权利和民主人民力量运动的371名前战斗人员(包括21名女性)复员。委员会还负责监督苏丹武装部队以及南达尔富尔和西达尔富尔民防军1 173人退役。达尔富尔混合行动支持这些活动，为此提供了技术咨询和后勤支助，还提供了检查艾滋病毒/艾滋病的人员和设备。", "七. 特派团基准进展情况", "65. 如导言所述，根据安全理事会第1935(2010)号决议第8段的要求，本报告对照秘书长2009年11月16日的报告(S/2009/592)附件二所列基准，对进展情况进行了评估。", "66. 第一个基准(实现冲突全面政治解决)取得一些进展。政府与解放运动在多哈谈判中的分歧有所减少，协议要点已并入一个草案文本。达尔富尔社会的一些代表在所有利益攸关方会议上批准了该文本，以此为基础实现达尔富尔包容各方的全面和平。政府和正义运动一直在谈判，尽管这些谈判主要限于人权、权力分享和安全安排。全面实现这个基准仍遥不可及，因为包括苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派和苏丹解放军-米尼·米纳维派在内的几个运动仍未加入和平进程，他们还表示打算改换政府。", "67. 第二个基准是在达尔富尔各地恢复安全稳定的环境。苏丹武装部队和各运动力量之间的间歇性冲突限制了在这一基准方面的进展。然而，达尔富尔混合行动的军事和警察部门增加了对新地点的远程和中程巡逻次数，从而改善了特派团的存在，促进了偏远地区的安保。与资源有关的冲突造成23人死亡，与前一期间死亡12人相比人数有所增加。", "68. 第三个基准是加强法治、治理和人权保护。总体而言，这方面的进展不大。冲突各方仍未履行国际人权法规定的战斗中保护平民的义务。记录在案的违反和侵犯人权数目仍与前几个报告述期的数目相类似。从积极的方面看，达尔富尔混合行动的记录显示任意拘留案件数目有所减少，达尔富尔混合行动继续与国家当局合作，以巩固这些成果。此外，特派团继续与武装运动合作，以制止招募和使用儿童兵，并向司法人员提供技术咨询。", "69. 第四个基准是稳定人道主义局势并为人道主义准入提供便利。在这方面通过春篮行动取得了一些进展(如上文第36段所述)，在春篮行动期间，达尔富尔混合行动和人道主义机构派团对以前无法进入的地区进行了需求评估，并向那里的社区提供了援助。此外，达尔富尔混合行动还增加了中程和远程巡逻以及对回返地点的巡逻次数。", "八. 财务问题", "70. 大会第65/305号决议批款16.893亿美元作为该行动2011年7月1日至2012年6月30日期间维持费。如果安全理事会决定将达尔富尔混合行动的任务期限延至2011年7月31日以后，则维持该行动的费用将以大会批准的2011/12年财政期间的数额为限。", "71. 截至2011年7月7日，达尔富尔混合行动特别账户的未缴摊款共计1.802亿美元。截至同日，所有维持和平行动的待付摊款总额为15.471亿美元。", "72. 按照季度付款时间表，派遣国政府的部队/建制警察费用和特遣队所属装备费用已分别偿还至2011年5月31日和2011年3月31日。", "九. 意见和建议", "73. 达尔富尔和平进程已到了一个关键的路口。政府与解放运动之间的谈判似乎已经接近结束。然而，由于苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派和苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派继续通过军事手段追求其目标，而政府与正义运动之间的谈判似乎陷入僵局，谈判结果不会构成冲突的全面解决。主要以政府和解放运动谈判结果为基础的达尔富尔所有利益攸关方会议的讨论和协议草案是一个进步，而且正如会议所认可的那样，也是推进和平进程的基础。鉴于这些进展，目前正在制定一个规划达尔富尔和平进程今后步骤的新路线图。", "74. 至于新路线图的主要因素，一个有意义的达尔富尔冲突解决方案仍然需要得到冲突各方和受到冲突影响者的广泛支持。在这方面，我敦促国际社会向政府、苏丹解放军-明尼·米纳维派、苏丹解放军-阿卜杜勒·瓦希德派和正义运动发出一致的信息，要求它们停止敌对行动并无条件开始谈判。", "75. 在达尔富尔开展可信的内部对话和协商进程，可增进民众对和平进程的支持，加强当地对和平进程的自主权，强化多哈谈判的成果，从而有益于达尔富尔和平进程。因此，我鼓励国际社会在新路线图中支持这一进程。在这方面，我欢迎达尔富尔混合行动和非洲联盟高级别执行小组为开展达尔富尔和平进程进行筹备。建立一个有利于达尔富尔和平进程的环境仍然至关重要，我敦促政府现在就兑现承诺，解除达尔富尔紧急状态法，以此作为第一个极其重要的建立信任措施。", "76. 未来数月，达尔富尔混合行动、非洲联盟、联合国和整个国际社会必须准备协助苏丹政府从整体上解决导致该国不稳定的各种原因。搁置武装进攻和开展政治对话至关重要。即将召开的宪法审查为各政党和利益集团提供了一个机会，可以共同商定一个新的管理体制，解决苏丹冲突背后的中央与地方关系问题。因此，达尔富尔政治进程路线图必须与更广泛的苏丹稳定战略相辅相成。在这方面，我高兴地注意到，非洲联盟和联合国已开始就达尔富尔和平进程的下一步骤进行初步协商。", "77. 过去3个月中，政府和各种运动力量之间发生了零星战斗，破坏了战乱地区的稳定，许多部族因此需要得到保护和人道主义援助。此外，军事活动和相关限制也使达尔富尔混合行动和人道主义机构接触待援民众的能力受到限制。鉴于这些关切，我再次向交战各方重申，达尔富尔冲突没有任何军事解决办法。继续以军事手段追求政治目标只能延长达尔富尔人民的痛苦，推迟和平的到来。在这方面，我呼吁尚未采取行动的政府和各派运动立即停止敌对行动，并毫不拖延地加入和平进程。", "78. 境内流离失所者自愿返回原城镇和村庄的报告令我感到鼓舞。我赞扬达尔富尔混合行动和人道主义界除了已经向境内流离失所者和居民社区提供保护和援助之外，还重点向这些回返者提供保护和援助。此外，我还赞扬达尔富尔混合行动、人道主义事务协调厅、儿基会、世卫组织和其他参与“春篮行动”的机构努力改善东杰贝勒马拉赫及其他以往限制进出地区的人道主义援助准入。在这一行动中，人道主义组织开展了需求评估并向12个地点提供了援助，包括前几个月一直无法进入的东杰贝勒马拉赫的5个地点。我注意到这次行动为今后访问时再次进入这些地区铺平了道路，我敦促达尔富尔混合行动和人道主义界采取步骤，确保持续不断地向这些地区提供支持。", "79. 我关切地注意到，达尔富尔混合行动和人道主义组织的行动仍然受到限制。虽然绝大多数的限制都是由政府机构在知道或怀疑有派别运动力量存在的地区实行的，但特派团保留评估其巡逻队安全状况的权利，保留在查明风险可以接受后，按其任务规定开展活动的权利。政府安全机构可以告知达尔富尔混合行动，它们对安全感到关切，但不能阻止达尔富尔混合行动继续活动。我再次呼吁政府和各派运动不要再对达尔富尔混合行动和人道主义组织实行限制。", "80. 今后一年为政府和苏丹人民提供了放眼未来、解决破坏其安全与繁荣的冲突的重大机遇。政府和人民也将面临苏丹境内的变革所带来的重大挑战。在达尔富尔，达尔富尔混合行动已在执行其保护平民的任务方面取得长足进步，我相信它将与非洲联盟高级别执行小组一道，在支持基层建设和平与和解举措方面发挥重大作用。我打算在下一次报告中，向安全理事会汇报达尔富尔和平路线图的最新情况。由于上述原因，我建议安理会考虑将达尔富尔混合行动的任务期限延长一年。在此期间，我将与非洲联盟一起审查授权达尔富尔混合行动的核定资源，以确保其得到最有效、最高效的利用。", "81. 谈到达尔富尔混合行动和人道主义工作人员在达尔富尔的安全，令我感到鼓舞的是，本报告所述期间记录的袭击次数较少——部分原因是达尔富尔混合行动的军事和警务人员保持了强有力的态势，但我最强烈地谴责那些应对袭击达尔富尔混合行动巡逻队事件负责的人，这次事件造成一名达尔富尔混合行动警察顾问不幸丧生。这种袭击应受到谴责，属于违反国际法的行为。我向这位警察顾问的家人、朋友和同事表示诚挚慰问，并呼吁政府将进行这一卑鄙袭击的行为人绳之以法。", "82. 我欣慰和高兴地看到2011年1月13日在西达尔富尔Um Shalaya被绑架的3名联合国人道主义空运处签约聘用的空航人员获释。我呼吁政府将对此事负责者绳之以法，并采取步骤制止绑架那些帮助缓解达尔富尔人民痛苦的工作人员。", "83. 我对国家情报和安全局未经指控或审判便拘留2名达尔富尔混合行动的本国工作人员深感关切。达尔富尔混合行动的所有工作人员在履行符合特派团任务的职责时都有不受逮捕或起诉的豁免权。未经指控拘留这些工作人员的行为严重违反了《部队地位协定》。我坚持认为，政府应立即释放这些工作人员并按照适当的程序向我的联合特别代表提交政府掌握的针对这2人的任何不法行为证据。", "84. 最后，我谨诚挚感谢联合首席调解人贾布里勒·伊佩内·巴索莱及其团队为达尔富尔和平进程作出杰出工作和实质性贡献。我还要对卡塔尔政府为谈判提供的支持表示赞赏。我要感谢非洲联盟-联合国达尔富尔联合特别代表易卜拉欣·甘巴里先生对特派团的领导，并感谢达尔富尔混合行动的全体人员在往往十分艰难和严峻的形势下作出不懈努力。我还要感谢许多人道主义人员兢兢业业地努力维持并改善受到冲突影响的达尔富尔人的生活。" ]

[ "Report of the Secretary-General on the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur", "I. Introduction", "1. The present report is submitted pursuant to paragraph 8 of Security Council resolution 1935 (2010), by which the Council requested me to report every 90 days on progress made towards implementing the mandate of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID). The report includes an assessment of progress made against benchmarks set out in annex II to my report to the Council of 16 November 2009 (S/2009/592), as well as the status of the political process and the security and humanitarian situation during the reporting period, from 1 April to 30 June 2011.", "II. Political developments", "Darfur peace process", "2. The African Union-United Nations Joint Mediation Team presented a draft peace agreement to the Government of the Sudan, the Liberation and Justice Movement (LJM) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) on 27 April. The draft was based on points of agreement discussed thereto and proposals from the Mediation Team based on previous discussions with the parties on points of divergence, including political appointments, the administrative status of Darfur and security arrangements. The Government and LJM delegations subsequently expressed their support for the draft, with LJM publicly describing it on 30 April as an agreement that provides acceptable solutions to a wide range of disputed issues. JEM sought further negotiations with the Government, which led to agreement on the provisions of the human rights and fundamental freedoms chapter. Negotiations then broke down on 3 May owing to a disagreement over the scope and procedures of the negotiation process.", "3. The Mediation Team then sought feedback on the draft text from representatives of Darfuri society at the All Darfur Stakeholders Conference, held in Doha from 27 to 31 May. The organization and conduct of the Conference received significant support from the Government of Qatar and assistance from UNAMID, and brought together approximately 500 participants from the parties to the conflict, civil society groups, political parties, elected officials, refugees and the Darfuri diaspora. While the draft text of the agreement was not circulated, stakeholders were presented with the key elements contained in the draft as the basis for their discussions. A meeting of international partners was also convened to assess the progress made thus far.", "4. Several challenges associated with the selection and movement of participants were encountered prior to and during the Stakeholders Conference. UNAMID worked with follow-up civil society mechanisms in the three state capitals, which, based on criteria stipulated by the Mediation Team, selected civil society representatives for the Conference. In Nyala the state government insisted that an alternative civil society mechanism comprising National Congress Party supporters be involved in the selection of delegates and detained, on 2 May, a leading member of the civil society follow-up mechanism. Owing to space limitations, seven internally displaced persons were unable to travel from Nyala to Doha on the chartered aircraft, as scheduled on 26 May.", "5. Also in connection with the selection of participants, a UNAMID national civil affairs officer was arrested by National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) in Nyala on 27 April. Government authorities informed UNAMID that the staff member was detained in relation to the role he played in the selection of participants for the Stakeholders Conference. UNAMID met with the Government and advocated for the need to respect the status-of-forces agreement, and subsequently obtained access to the staff member, who has a pre-existing heart condition and was found to be in poor health. A request by the mission to allow the staff member to visit a UNAMID hospital was denied by the Services.", "6. Once under way, the Stakeholders Conference proceedings comprised plenary sessions, during which participants were presented with the key elements of the draft agreement, and working group sessions, at which the parties presented their positions and participants commented on the agreement. The working group sessions focused on human rights and fundamental freedoms, compensation and returns, power- and wealth-sharing, and the Darfur internal dialogue and consultation. During the sessions, Government and LJM representatives emphasized the benefits of the provisions, in particular in the areas of wealth-sharing and support to returnees, while JEM criticized the draft, stating that it did not sufficiently meet the aspirations of the people of Darfur. Compensation, security, the administrative status of Darfur and accountability for previous human rights violations were among the issues most widely discussed by civil society representatives.", "7. At the closing ceremony, on 31 May, participants endorsed a communiqué which provided for the Doha draft document to form the basis for reaching a permanent ceasefire, a comprehensive and inclusive peace settlement, and sustainable peace and stability in Darfur. Moreover, it called upon the Government of the Sudan and the armed movements to make every effort to reach a permanent ceasefire and comprehensive settlement on the basis of that document. In support of these efforts, key international partners are to establish the Darfur Implementation Follow-up Committee, headed by the Government of Qatar. The Committee will act as a group of friends that will support implementation of the agreement.", "8. Following the Stakeholders Conference, the Joint Chief Mediator and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of Qatar presented the draft document to the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, in Addis Ababa on 13 June, to the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States (LAS), in Cairo on 14 June, and to myself on 20 June. The Chairperson, the Secretary-General of LAS and I congratulated the Mediator and Minister on the outcome of the negotiations and welcomed the draft as the basis upon which to continue working towards comprehensive peace.", "9. On 14 June, JEM issued a statement on the Doha talks, questioning the inclusiveness of the Stakeholders Conference, observing that the Conference endorsed debated issues rather than the draft document, but nevertheless asserting its willingness to continue to negotiate. Bilateral talks between the Government and JEM then took place in Doha on 3 and 9 June, but then stalled owing to a disagreement over the scope of the negotiations. SLA-Abdul Wahid and SLA-Minni Minawi did not participate in the Conference, nor did they pronounce themselves on its outcome.", "10. In the meantime, UNAMID, in conjunction with the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel, continued to plan for the Darfur-based political process. These arrangements are in accord with a communiqué issued at the conclusion of the 271st meeting of the African Union Peace and Security Council on 8 April that, among other things, requested UNAMID to make all necessary preparations for the political process as a matter of priority and emphasized that the initiative should proceed in a manner concurrent with, and complementary to, the Doha negotiations. UNAMID, the Implementation Panel, and other international partners are currently engaging with the Government to define and establish the enabling environment for the political process. For its part, the Government of the Sudan has reiterated its commitment to suspend the emergency laws in Darfur.", "11. On the way forward, the African Union and the United Nations, in consultation with international partners, plan to convene a series of meetings to map out the future framework for the international community’s sustained engagement in the Darfur peace process.", "The Darfur referendum and the creation of two additional states", "12. On 29 March, the Government of the Sudan issued a Presidential Decree providing for the conduct of a referendum on the status of Darfur. The decree was broadly condemned by the armed movements, with SLA-Minni Minawi, JEM and SLA-Mother issuing a joint statement on 2 April in which they, among other things, object to the Decree, vow not to recognize the result and call upon the people of Darfur to strongly oppose it. Similarly, in meetings with UNAMID, members of opposition political parties and internally displaced persons expressed resentment over what they considered to be unilateral action and concern over the viability of its implementation in the prevailing political and security environment.", "13. The National Electoral Commission has commenced preparations for the referendum and, on 12 April, formally requested material and technical assistance from UNAMID and the United Nations Mission in the Sudan. UNAMID and the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel have encouraged the Government to build broad-based buy-in among stakeholders before holding the referendum. The issue remained a part of the negotiations between the Government and LJM, and on 26 June, the parties agreed that in the event an agreement is signed the referendum would be held one year after the signing.", "14. On 5 May, the Council of Ministers passed legislation on the creation of two additional states in Darfur, a central state, with Zalingei as its capital, and a state in the south-east, with a capital in Al Da’ein. The legislation is currently before the National Assembly for its endorsement. Several movements, including SLA-Abdul Wahid, SLA-Minni Minawi, opposition political parties and some sectors of civil society complained in meetings with UNAMID that the creation of two additional states would exacerbate divisions between ethnic groups in Darfur.", "Regional developments", "15. In recent months relations between the Sudan and the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya have deteriorated. On 20 June, the Government of the Sudan publicly accused the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya of recruiting “Sudanese mercenaries”. The Government of the Sudan has also raised concerns over the risk of arms and ammunition flowing from the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya into Darfur and reinforced the presence of its armed forces in north-western Darfur.", "16. On 5 May, the headquarters of the Chad Sudan Joint Border Patrol Force was transferred from Abéché, Chad, to El Geneina in Western Darfur, in keeping with the terms of the Dakar Agreement. On 23 May, a tripartite summit involving the Governments of the Sudan, Chad and the Central African Republic was held in Khartoum, the outcome of which was the signing of the Khartoum Declaration, according to which the parties commit to, inter alia, establishing a Triple Joint Force with which to monitor their borders.", "Alliances and unification of movements", "17. In recent months, several new alliances between armed movements were formed. On 14 May, SLA-Abdul Wahid and SLA-Minni Minawi issued a Declaration of Alliance, in which they announced their agreement to work together on, inter alia, “joint action and [the] coordination of political and military efforts to overthrow the National Congress Government”. Similarly, on 8 May, an alliance between SLA-Abdul Wahid and SLA-Juba was announced, and on 20 May, SLA-Abdul Wahid and SLA-Mother announced that they have reunited under the leadership of Abdul Wahid. On 18 May, a breakaway faction of LJM signed an agreement with JEM and on 25 May, the same faction entered into an alliance with SLA-Minni Minawi.", "Security situation", "18. A temporary lull in fighting between Government and movement forces, which began in late February, ended on 10 April when SAF carried out an aerial attack on a combined SLA-Minni Minawi and JEM force in Muzbat (127 km north of Kutum), Northern Darfur. Additional aerial attacks and clashes between SAF and movement ground forces took place in the same area on 11, 12 and 13 April. On 13 April, a UNAMID patrol encountered a convoy at Turba, slightly west of Muzbat, identifying itself as a joint SLA-Minni Minawi and JEM coalition force. Military activity in the same region was recorded on 17 April when SLA-Abdul Wahid and JEM convoys were observed by UNAMID further east, near Jebel Eisa (37 km north of Malha) and El Hara (62 km north of Malha), respectively.", "19. Throughout this period of increased military activity, UNAMID observed the deployment of SAF attack helicopters at Malha and Kutum, and the deployment of additional troops to Malha, Kutum and Tine. Sudanese Armed Force commanders advised that the build-up of troops and equipment was intended to prevent armed movements from travelling between the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and Darfur.", "20. A UNAMID patrol was informed on 1 May by local residents that on 24 April a SAF aerial attack had taken place in the vicinity of Tangarara village (20 km north of Shangil Tobaya). On 25 April, SAF aircraft reportedly targeted SLA-Abdul Wahid forces around Ruwata, Owsajini and Burgu villages in East Jebel Marra. According to information received from SAF, on 27 April, SAF and SLA-Abdul Wahid ground forces clashed in Gur Lumbung (11 km north-west of Nyala). There were no reported casualties.", "21. In Southern Darfur, a convoy comprising approximately 100 SLA-Minni Minawi and JEM vehicles was observed by UNAMID travelling south on the Buram to El Fifi road on 6 April. UNAMID subsequently received unverified reports from an SAF commander of an exchange of fire between SAF and the convoy near El Fifi, 116 km south of Buram, on the border with South Sudan.", "22. Also in Southern Darfur, after reportedly detecting movement forces SAF aircraft dropped four bombs at Labado and several bombs near Esheraya village (30 km south of Al Da’ein) on 15 May. One civilian was killed and another was injured in the bombing near Labado. Restrictions imposed by the Government on UNAMID prevented an assessment of the bombing in Esheraya. SAF commanders later advised that movement forces believed to be SLA-Minni Minawi had been detected near Muhajeriya, Labado, Sania Fundu, Shaeria, Marla and Yassin. On 16 and 17 May, SAF aircraft carried out attacks near Kuma (60 km north-east of El Fasher) and Sukamair (68 km north of El Fasher). There were no reported casualties. On 18 May, SAF aircraft attacked movement convoys near Baashim village (80 km north-east of Kutum) and Um Rayi and Hashaba villages (72 and 62 km north-east of Kutum, respectively), causing 10 fatalities according to local sources.", "23. In a continuation of fighting in areas formerly controlled by SLA-Minni Minawi, on 31 May and 3 June, a group of unidentified armed men clashed with a group of Zaghawa near Abu Zereiga (20 km north-east of Dar el Salam) after the Zaghawa sought to retrieve stolen livestock. A UNAMID verification team established that an unarmed sheikh was killed in the fighting and that there is a strong possibility at least four other civilians were killed. On 17 June, an unidentified armed group suspected to be loyal to SLA-Minni Minawi attacked a Popular Defence Force (PDF) outpost at Old Shangil Tobaya village. The attackers set fire to several houses, temporarily displacing approximately 1,000 civilians and killing 6 soldiers and an undetermined number of civilians. On 18 June, UNAMID evacuated on medical grounds 15 persons, including 13 civilians, from the Shangil Tobaya hospital to El Fasher.", "24. Security within Hassa Hissa camp deteriorated on 25 May, after 11 of the camp’s residents met with local government officials in Azoom (50 km west of Zalingei) and discussed means of encouraging returns. Upon returning to the camp, the 11 internally displaced persons were detained by a group of youths from the camp. Following the intervention of UNAMID, eight of the detainees were released on 28 May and the remaining three were released 10 days later. Despite attempts by UNAMID to resolve the situation through talks, clashes broke out on 8 and 9 June, resulting in the death of 11 internally displaced persons. With the assistance of UNAMID, the tension subsequently subsided and at a meeting with camp and youth leaders on 18 June, UNAMID was informed that relations between the detained internally displaced persons and camp leaders had improved.", "Intercommunal conflict", "25. The incidence of intercommunal fighting remained relatively low during the reporting period, with three clashes recorded. The first of these involved fighting on 16 April between armed groups of Birgit and Rezeigat in Kulaykili (130 km south-east of Nyala), which broke out after a group of armed Rezeigat sought to exact retribution from several Birgit suspected of involvement in banditry. A total of 14 Birgit, including an umda (community leader), and 2 Rezeigat were killed. Following the incident, the Wali of Southern Darfur convened a special investigation committee.", "26. The second incident involved a clash between armed groups of Taaisha and Rezeigat near Gereida in Southern Darfur on 19 April following allegations of camel theft. A total of eight persons were killed (5 Taaisha and 3 Rezeigat) in the fighting. Community leaders subsequently initiated a reconciliation process, according to which the Rezeigat paid compensation for the theft of the camels. In the third incident, in Southern Darfur on 19 June, clashes between armed groups of Salamat and Habbaniyah near Nadhif (125 km south of Nyala) over cattle theft and border demarcation reportedly resulted in 13 fatalities and the injury of 10 persons.", "27. With a view to improving intercommunal relations in the Zalingei area — where fighting between Misseriya and Rezeigat-Nawaiba claimed an estimated 700 lives from March to September 2010 — UNAMID provided substantial support to an inter-tribal conference in Hillabeyda (25 km east of Zalingei) on 10 May. Assistance took the form of security, transportation and the provision of technical advice. Participants representing various groups, including the native administration, civil society, aughada (Arab tribal militia leaders) and local government officials, took part in the conference. Several recommendations for enhancing security and intercommunal relations were made, and a follow-up mechanism was formed to implement them and organize similar conferences in other parts of the region.", "Restrictions of movement", "28. UNAMID carried out 23,999 patrols from 1 April to 30 June, during which the mission’s movements by land were restricted on 68 occasions. Of these, 65 restrictions were imposed by SAF or NISS and 3 by armed movements. On the vast majority of occasions Government military or intelligence services restricted UNAMID patrols, the patrol was either in or seeking to enter an area where the presence of movement forces was suspected by the Government. While UNAMID carried out 5,771 flights from 1 April to 30 June, SAF and other Government officials refused 60 flight clearance requests. Most of the restrictions were imposed on flights attempting to access or overfly East Jebel Marra or areas of military activity.", "Security and safety", "29. The number of attacks on UNAMID peacekeepers and humanitarian personnel remained low, owing in part to the maintenance of a robust posture by UNAMID military and police personnel.", "30. In the first of two armed attacks on UNAMID peacekeepers, on 5 April, unidentified armed men ambushed a patrol returning from Fato Borno (17 km south-west of Kutum) to Kutum. During the attack one assailant was shot dead and another was injured, and a UNAMID vehicle carrying two police advisers and one language assistant was carjacked. Two of the staff members, who suffered moderate injuries, were subsequently released, while the body of the third, a police adviser, was found nearby in the abandoned vehicle. In the second incident, an unidentified assailant fired at a UNAMID patrol that was escorting a World Food Programme (WFP) convoy at Hotwashi (30 km south-west of El Fasher) on 18 April, hitting one of the vehicles. There were no injuries.", "31. On 6 May, a UNAMID national language assistant was arrested by NISS in El Fasher and subsequently transferred to Khartoum. According to Government officials, the staff member was detained in connection with inciting internally displaced persons at Abu Shouk camp to participate in anti-Government demonstrations. UNAMID was granted access to the staff member on 27 June.", "32. Following intensive efforts by the Government of the Sudan and WFP, three crew members contracted by the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service abducted at Um Shalaya in Western Darfur on 13 January were released on 6 June.", "33. The number of carjacking incidents involving UNAMID or humanitarian agency vehicles decreased from 10 in the period 1 January to 31 March to 5 in the last three months. In addition to the UNAMID vehicle that was taken and then abandoned during the aforementioned attack on 5 April, one UNAMID vehicle was carjacked at Deriege camp in Nyala on 1 June by 15 armed men and one in Nyala on 11 June by 3 armed men. A UNAMID peacekeeper travelling in the passenger seat suffered minor injuries during the 11 June incident.", "III. Humanitarian situation", "34. While some progress was made in terms of improving humanitarian access, ongoing clashes between Government and movement forces continued to adversely affect the humanitarian situation. According to figures agreed to by the Government and the humanitarian country team, between 60,000 and 70,000 persons have been displaced by fighting from Shangil Tobaya and East Jebel Marra since the beginning of 2011. In addition, citing the presence of armed movements, humanitarian agencies were prohibited by Southern Darfur state government authorities from travelling further than 15 km from Nyala from 15 May to 15 June.", "35. On 11 April, NISS entered Kalma camp and arrested a resident who is also a staff member of an international non-governmental organization. In retaliation, on 13 April, internally displaced youths abducted 11 national aid workers in the camp. Following an intervention by UNAMID and United Nations agencies, the youths released the aid workers 24 hours later. Humanitarian access to Kalma was then partially restricted by Government authorities for two months, with international aid workers allowed to enter the camp on a few occasions only. In addition, medical supplies and fuel for water pumps was allowed into the camp on a case-by-case basis only. National non-governmental organizations staff were able to continue to work in clinics and provide water to camp residents, and the restrictions have since been lifted.", "36. With a view to improving humanitarian access, on 1 May, UNAMID and humanitarian agencies launched Operation Spring Basket, an initiative designed to enhance access and deliver aid to parts of Darfur that have been inaccessible for several months. The operation, which aims to reach approximately 400,000 beneficiaries, involves UNAMID and aid workers conducting needs assessments and delivering aid. During the operation, humanitarian supplies were delivered to Ein Siro, Kutum, Killing, Kuma Garadayat, Golo, Kaguro, Tina, El Hara and Sarong. The mission to Sarong, a town in SLA-Abdul Wahid-controlled territory, was the first by a humanitarian agency since 2009.", "37. In addition, to improve access and the provision of assistance to East Jebel Marra, UNAMID and the Resident Coordinator/Humanitarian Coordinator for the Sudan, in consultation with SLA-Abdul Wahid and the Government, agreed to establish a new UNAMID team site in Feina, in Southern Darfur.", "38. As to health care, the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the state ministries of health carried out region-wide polio and measles vaccination campaigns. The campaigns involved administering vaccinations to communities in remote rural areas, as well as “mop-up campaigns” in areas where measles outbreaks have previously taken place.", "39. With regard to improving access to water, on 26 April, UNAMID launched a water resources initiative that involves distributing high-capacity rolling water containers to returnees. The containers enable mostly women and children to easily transport large amounts of water from wells to their homes, thereby lowering their exposure to harassment and violence by reducing the number of times they must leave their camp or village to collect water. Distribution of 3,000 containers throughout Darfur is planned.", "40. The Darfur International Conference: Water for Sustainable Peace took place in Khartoum on 27 and 28 June. Participants sought to create a new integrated framework for water management in Darfur in order to ensure the proper management of water resources. Conference organizers aimed to raise funds for 65 projects designed to develop an equitable and sustainable water service system. Approximately 500 participants representing, among others, the Government of the Sudan, UNAMID, UNICEF, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the United Nations Environment Programme, donors and other international actors attended. Donors pledged a total of $500 million for water projects at the Conference.", "IV. Rule of law, governance and human rights", "41. In keeping with the trend of the last 12 months, UNAMID documented during the last 3 months 97 incidents of human rights violations involving 274 victims. With a view to improving human rights protections, the mission continued to raise human rights concerns with Government authorities and to build the capacity of security institutions. Courses were held for 202 Government police, NISS officers and rural court judges, who received training in basic human rights concepts and arrest and detention procedures.", "42. The number of cases of sexual and gender-based violence recorded by UNAMID decreased slightly to 17 incidents involving 26 victims, down from 29 incidents involving 54 victims in the first quarter of 2011. Several workshops were convened to enhance the capacity of Government institutions to prevent and respond to these types of incidents. In one such example, UNAMID conducted a workshop in El Fasher on 2 April for 17 women legislators on their role in fulfilling states’ obligations to prevent sexual and gender-based violence. In others, training in gender issues was provided to 39 Central Reserve Police in Zalengei on 1 and 2 May, and to prosecutors in El Geneina on 3 and 4 May.", "43. In addition, UNAMID continued to monitor trials for their conformity to international human rights principles. In one case, two persons were found guilty in Nyala and sentenced on 2 May to 10 years imprisonment for their involvement in the theft of two World Vision vehicles from Ed al Fursan on 21 February. The court also sentenced a boy 16 years of age to six years in juvenile reformatory for his role in the kidnapping on 4 November 2010 of three aviation staff contracted by WFP.", "44. In line with the memorandum of understanding exchanged between the Government and UNAMID, three Prison Development Committees were inaugurated in El Geneina and Zalingei in April and one in Nyala in May. The Committees will serve as forums for finding solutions to challenges affecting prisons and for facilitating prison reforms.", "45. UNAMID continued to work with Government authorities to build the capacity of corrections officers and improve conditions for prisoners. In this connection, UNAMID held a course on “basic prison duties and human rights approach to prison management” for Northern and Southern Darfur prison staff from 10 to 14 April and 15 to 19 May, respectively. Moreover, projects have been undertaken to enhance the livelihood prospects and conditions of prisoners. UNAMID, in collaboration with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, provided vocational training in manufacturing soil stabilized blocks to 60 prisoners in Southern Darfur. Blocks produced by the trainees will be used in prison construction projects. On 27 April, a water supply and sanitation project financed by quick-impact project funds was completed at a prison in El Geneina. In addition, on 30 and 31 March, UNAMID, in collaboration with WHO, UNDP and the Ministry of Health, organized a medical camp that benefited 1,000 prisoners, their families and members of the local community in El Fasher.", "Child protection", "46. Efforts to assist children formerly involved in armed conflict were continued. JEM-Peace Wing took part in a Government-sponsored demobilization exercise in El Geneina from 17 to 29 April. During the exercise, a list of 65 children formerly associated with armed forces was handed over to the North Sudan Disarmament Demobilization and Reintegration Commission for registration and processing.", "47. Since the beginning of 2011, UNAMID has held 28 training sessions on child protection that have benefited some 934 mission personnel, including 128 civilians, 580 United Nations police officers and 226 peacekeepers. In addition, in April UNAMID organized a four-day training-of-trainers session with Save the Children Sweden, which benefited 47 military, United Nations police and United Nations military observers officers. The programme was extended to national actors, leading to the conduct of 13 training sessions for 477 local partners. Those benefiting included 34 Government police officers, 255 community policing volunteers in internally displaced person camps, 29 community leaders, 57 members of child protection committees in internally displaced person camps, 82 members of civil society groups and 20 children in conflict with the law.", "V. Protection of civilians", "48. UNAMID undertook several initiatives during the last three months to improve the protection of civilians and the safety and security of aid workers and their assets.", "49. UNAMID military and police personnel enhanced presence and protection activities throughout Darfur by increasing the number of patrols per day from an average of 130 to 160. This included an increase in the number of medium- and long-range patrols to communities in rural areas, including Jebel Marra, Jebel Moon (north of El Geneina) and the Southern Darfur-South Sudan border. The completion of logistics arrangements enabled the deployment of civilian staff to UNAMID team sites in Shangil Tobaya and Khor Abeche, thereby enabling the improved coordination of mission activities with humanitarian actors.", "50. Within the framework of the UNAMID protection of civilians strategy, early warning and early response mechanisms were strengthened by issuing weekly analytical reports on the protection of civilians for UNAMID senior managers. In addition, improvements were made in the coordination of the activities of humanitarian actors with UNAMID military and police personnel through the establishment of weekly civil-military coordination meetings.", "51. In connection with the protection of returnees, the joint verification mechanism continued to assess the voluntariness and appropriateness of returns in Darfur. Since the beginning of 2011, voluntary returns have been occurring at a rate of approximately 1,500 persons per week. The majority of returnees are travelling from camps in Southern Darfur to rural areas in Western Darfur.", "VI. Deployment and operations of the mission", "52. As of 30 June, the number of UNAMID civilian personnel stood at 4,466, of whom 1,145 are international staff, 2,835 are national staff and 486 are United Nations Volunteers. This represents 81 per cent of the approved strength of 5,516. The mission continues to face difficulties in recruiting and retaining suitably qualified staff owing to the harsh living conditions and unpredictable security situation in Darfur. With regard to the deployment of additional international staff, 36 staff members arrived in the mission area, 32 were separated and 1 candidate declined an offer of appointment with the mission.", "53. As of 30 June, the strength of UNAMID military personnel stood at 18,014, representing 92 per cent of the authorized strength of 19,555. This figure includes 17,451 troops, 302 staff officers, 61 liaison officers and 195 military observers. The Ethiopian multirole logistics unit, Rwandan medium rotary-wing utility aviation unit and Nigerian Sector reconnaissance and reserve companies are expected to deploy later in the year, while an incoming Senegalese battalion is expected to reach full strength by October 2011. Shortfalls remain for two medium rotary-wing utility aviation units and a fixed-wing air reconnaissance unit.", "54. The readiness and self-sustainment capabilities of military contingents improved marginally over the last three months. At present, 5 of 17 infantry battalions and 4 of 16 formed police units have significant equipment shortfalls and serviceability rates below the mandated limit of 90 per cent.", "55. The strength of UNAMID police stood at 2,751 personnel (80 per cent men and 20 per cent women), representing 73 per cent of the authorized strength of 3,772. The formed police unit personnel strength stood at 2,233, or 83 per cent of the authorized strength of 2,660.", "56. UNAMID military personnel conducted a total of 12,325 patrols, including 5,589 routine patrols, 999 short-range patrols, 643 long-range patrols, 2,538 night patrols, 623 humanitarian escorts and 1,933 logistics and administrative patrols, covering a total of 7,129 villages and internally displaced person camps. UNAMID police conducted a total of 11,674 patrols. Of these, 6,918 were conducted within camps and with groups of mainly women and children leaving villages and camps to collect firewood and grass, 2,846 were conducted in and around villages and markets, and 1,910 were medium- and long-range patrols.", "57. In keeping with the agreement reached at the tenth tripartite coordination mechanism meeting, the Government issued 1,103 new entry visas to UNAMID personnel from April to June. As of 26 June, 1,070 applications for visas were pending. Of these, 775 are for police officers, 96 are for military staff officers and observers, and 199 are for civilian personnel, including consultants and visitors. Although the number of pending applications for entry visas has remained high, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been expeditiously renewing a large number of visas for UNAMID staff whose employment contracts and therefore residence visas expired on 30 June, the end of the 2010/11 financial year. The Government has committed to clearing the backlog of pending entry visa applications shortly thereafter.", "58. Progress was made in implementing a bridging solution for UNAMID radio broadcasts. On 26 June, UNAMID signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Public Radio Corporation, according to which the mission will commence broadcasts on Al Salaam and Darfur state radio stations from 1 July.", "59. The development and improvement of UNAMID team sites is progressing. Despite logistical challenges, the enhancement of 12 of 30 team sites has been completed. The remaining 18 sites are at various phases of completion and are due to be finished by 31 July 2011. Work on seven more sites is scheduled to be completed by 31 December 2011. The construction of mission subsistence allowance standard accommodation for 1,526 international staff has been completed. This development has significantly improved the living conditions, security and morale of UNAMID staff in Darfur.", "60. Since the last report, 11 additional water boreholes have been drilled, bringing the total number of completed wells to 35. These boreholes are shared with local communities to improve their access to water. With regard to previously reported plans to contract an international company to drill 25 boreholes, difficulties acquiring visas and mobilizing drilling equipment have led to the cancellation of the contract.", "61. The construction of community police centres continued. Of the 70 centres planned for construction, 13 have been completed and 3 are near completion.", "62. A total of 30 additional quick-impact projects have been completed in the last three months. A total of 288 projects are 65 per cent complete and 65 new projects were approved for implementation. Insecurity and the low capacity of local implementing partners have limited progress in several projects.", "63. UNAMID continued to reduce the threat posed by unexploded ordnance throughout Darfur. The mission located and destroyed over 314 ordnance items, and delivered risk awareness training to approximately 33,000 civilians. A total of 645 km of road were assessed as safe for use. Visual and subsurface risk assessments were conducted over a total area of 72,629 m².", "64. With regard to disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, the North Sudan Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Commission demobilized 371 ex-combatants (including 21 females) from SLA-Mother Wing, SLA-Free Will, JEM-Peace Wing and the Popular Forces Movement for Rights and Democracy. The Commission also oversaw the discharge of 1,173 personnel from SAF and PDF in Southern and Western Darfur. UNAMID supported the activities by providing technical advice, logistical support, personnel and equipment for HIV/AIDS screening.", "VII. Progress against mission benchmarks", "65. As mentioned in the introduction, pursuant to paragraph 8 of Security Council resolution 1935 (2010), the present report includes an assessment of progress against benchmarks set out in annex II to the report of the Secretary-General of 16 November 2009 (S/2009/592).", "66. Some progress has been made towards the first benchmark, the achievement of a comprehensive political solution to the conflict. Divergence between the Government and LJM in the Doha negotiations was reduced and points of agreement were consolidated in a draft text. A selection of representatives of Darfuri society endorsed the text at the All Darfur Stakeholders Conference as the basis of comprehensive and inclusive peace for Darfur. The Government and JEM have been engaged in talks, although they were mainly limited to the human rights, power-sharing and security arrangement portfolios. Full achievement of the benchmark remains distant, as several movements, including SLA-Abdul Wahid and SLA-Minni Minawi, remain outside the peace process and have stated their intention of pursuing a change in Government.", "67. The second benchmark refers to the restoration of a stable and secure environment throughout Darfur. Intermittent clashes between SAF and movement forces limited progress against this benchmark. However, UNAMID military and police components increased the number of long- and medium-range patrols to new locations, improving the mission’s presence and contributing to security in remote areas. Resource-related clashes accounted for 23 deaths, which represents an increase compared to 12 deaths during the previous period.", "68. The third benchmark refers to enhancement of the rule of law, governance and human rights protections. Overall, progress in this area was modest. Parties to the conflict continued to fall short of their obligations under international human rights law to protect civilians caught in the fighting. The number of recorded human rights violations and abuses remained similar to those of previous reporting periods. On a positive note, UNAMID documented a decrease in the number of arbitrary detention cases and continued to work with national authorities to consolidate these gains. In addition, the mission continued to work with armed movements to end the recruitment and use of child soldiers, and to provide technical advice to members of the judiciary.", "69. The fourth benchmark refers to stabilizing the humanitarian situation and facilitating humanitarian access. Some progress was made in this area through Operation Spring Basket (as reported in para. 36 above), during which UNAMID and humanitarian agencies conducted missions to assess needs and deliver aid to communities in previously inaccessible areas. In addition, UNAMID increased the number of medium- and long-range patrols and patrols to return sites.", "VIII. Financial aspects", "70. The General Assembly, by its resolution 65/305, appropriated the amount of $1,689.3 million for the maintenance of the Operation for the period from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012. Should the Security Council decide to extend the mandate of the Operation beyond 31 July 2011, the cost of maintaining UNAMID would be limited to the amount approved by the Assembly for the 2011/12 financial period.", "71. As of 7 July 2011, unpaid assessed contributions to the special account for UNAMID amounted to $180.2 million. The total outstanding assessed contributions for all peacekeeping operations at that date amounted to $1,547.1 million.", "72. Reimbursement to contributing Governments for troop and formed police costs, and for contingent-owned equipment costs has been made for the period up to 31 May 2011 and 31 March 2011, respectively, in accordance with the quarterly payment schedule.", "IX. Observations and recommendations", "73. The Darfur peace process has reached a critical juncture. Negotiations between the Government and LJM appear to be nearing a conclusion. However, with SLA-Abdul Wahid and SLA-Minni Minawi continuing to pursue their objectives through military means, and negotiations between the Government and JEM seemingly stalled, the outcome of the negotiations will not constitute a comprehensive settlement to the conflict. The All Darfur Stakeholders Conference discussions and the draft agreement based mostly on the outcome of the negotiations between the Government and LJM represent a step forward and, as endorsed by the Conference, the basis for advancing the peace process. In light of these developments a new road map that lays out the next steps in the Darfur peace process is being prepared.", "74. With regard to the main elements of a new road map, a meaningful settlement to the Darfur conflict continues to require broad-based buy-in from all parties to and those affected by the conflict. In this connection, I urge the international community to be united in their messages to the Government, SLA-Minni Minawi, SLA-Abdul Wahid and JEM to cease hostilities and enter into negotiations without preconditions.", "75. The Darfur peace process could also benefit from a credible Darfur-based internal dialogue and consultations process that builds popular support for, and local ownership of, the peace process, and enhances the outcomes of the Doha negotiations. In this connection, I encourage the international community to support such a process in the new road map. In this regard, I welcome the preparations undertaken by UNAMID and the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel towards holding the Darfur political process. The establishment of an enabling environment for the process remains paramount and I urge the Government, as a first and critically important confidence-building measure, to now deliver on its commitment to lift the emergency laws in Darfur.", "76. In the coming months, UNAMID, the African Union, the United Nations and the broader international community must be poised to assist the Government of the Sudan to address the various causes of instability in the country in a holistic manner. It will be critical that armed offensives are put aside and political dialogue pursued. The forthcoming constitutional review offers an opportunity for political parties and interest groups to come together to agree on a new dispensation that addresses the centre-periphery issues that underlie conflict in the Sudan. In this context, it will be important for a road map for the Darfur political process to be complementary to broader strategies for stability in the Sudan. In this connection, I am pleased to note that the African Union and the United Nations have begun initial consultations on the next steps in the Darfur peace process.", "77. The sporadic fighting that took place between Government and movement forces during the last three months caused instability in affected areas, as well as protection and humanitarian needs among communities. In addition, the military activity and associated restrictions limited the ability of UNAMID and humanitarian agencies to access populations in need of assistance. In light of these concerns, I once again reiterate to the belligerent parties that there is no military solution to the Darfur conflict. The continued pursuit of their political objectives by military means merely prolongs the suffering of the people of Darfur and delays the arrival of peace. In this connection, I call upon the Government and those movements that have yet to do so to cease hostilities immediately and join the peace process without delay.", "78. I am encouraged by the reports of voluntary returns of internally displaced persons to their towns and villages of origin. I commend UNAMID and the humanitarian community for their focus on providing protection and assistance to these returnees, in addition to the protection and assistance they already provide to internally displaced persons and resident communities. Moreover, I commend UNAMID, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, UNICEF, WHO and the other agencies involved in Operation Spring Basket for their efforts to improve humanitarian access to East Jebel Marra and other areas where access was previously limited. During the operation, humanitarian organizations carried out needs assessments and delivered aid to 12 locations, including five in East Jebel Marra where access was previously consistently denied for several months. I note that the operation paved the way for these areas to be reachable again in future visits and I urge UNAMID and the humanitarian community to take steps to ensure that the support provided to these areas is sustained.", "79. I note with concern that restrictions on the movement of UNAMID and humanitarian organizations continue to be imposed. While the vast majority of the restrictions were imposed by Government agencies in areas where the presence of movement forces was known or suspected, the mission reserves the right to assess the security of its patrols and, after having ascertained that the risk is acceptable, to proceed in accordance with its mandate. Government security agencies may advise UNAMID that they have concerns about security, but they may not prevent UNAMID from proceeding. I once again call upon the Government and the movements to cease imposing restrictions on UNAMID and humanitarian organizations.", "80. The coming year offers significant opportunities for the Government and the people of the Sudan to look to the future to settle conflicts that undermine their security and prosperity. The Government and the people will also face significant challenges resulting from the changes under way in the Sudan. In Darfur, UNAMID has made substantial strides in implementing its protection of civilians mandate and I believe it has a significant role to play, together with the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel, in supporting grass-roots-based peacebuilding and reconciliation initiatives. In my next report I intend to update the Security Council on the road map for peace in Darfur. It is for these reasons that I recommend that the Council consider an extension by one year of the mandate of UNAMID. During this period, I would review with the African Union the resources authorized for UNAMID with a view to ensuring their most efficient and effective use.", "81. Turning to safety of UNAMID and humanitarian personnel in Darfur, while I am encouraged by the relatively low number of attacks recorded during the reporting period — which is attributable in part to the maintenance of a robust posture by UNAMID military and police personnel — I condemn in the strongest terms those responsible for the attack on the UNAMID patrol that led to the tragic loss of life of a UNAMID police adviser. Such attacks are reprehensible and a violation of international law. I offer my sincere condolences to the family, friends and fellow service members of the police adviser, and I call upon the Government to bring the perpetrators of the cowardly attack to justice.", "82. I am relieved and grateful for the release of the three aviation staff members contracted to the United Nations Humanitarian Aviation Services who were abducted in Um Shalaya, Western Darfur, on 13 January 2011. I call upon the Government to bring those responsible to justice and to take steps to end the practice of kidnapping those working to help alleviate the suffering of the people of Darfur.", "83. I am also deeply concerned about the detention without charge or trial of two UNAMID national staff members by NISS. All UNAMID staff members are entitled to immunity from arrest or prosecution when carrying out duties that are in line with the mission mandate. The detention of the staff members without charge constitutes a serious violation of the status-of-forces agreement. I insist that the Government release the staff members immediately and present any evidence of wrongdoing it may have against them to my Joint Special Representative, in accordance with proper procedures.", "84. In conclusion, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Joint Chief Mediator, Mr. Djibril Yipene Bassolé, and his team for their outstanding service and their substantial contribution to the Darfur peace process. I would also like to express my appreciation to the Government of Qatar for the support it has provided to the negotiations. I would like to thank the African Union-United Nations Joint Special Representative, Mr. Ibrahim Gambari, for his leadership of the mission, as well as the women and men of UNAMID for their tireless efforts in what are often arduous and challenging circumstances. I would also like to thank the many dedicated humanitarian personnel who work to sustain and improve the lives of Darfuris affected by conflict." ]

[ "Report of the Secretary-General on the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur", "Introduction", "The present report is submitted pursuant to paragraph 8 of Security Council resolution 1935 (2010), in which the Council requested me to report every 90 days on progress made in the implementation of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID). The present report also assesses progress on the basis of the benchmarks contained in annex II to my report to the Council dated 16 November 2009 (S/2009/592), as well as the political process and the security and humanitarian situation during the reporting period (1 April to 30 June 2011.", "Political developments", "Darfur peace process", "On 27 April, the AU-United Nations Joint Mediation Support Team submitted a draft peace agreement to the Government of the Sudan, the Movement for the Liberation and Justice (L Movement) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM). The draft was based on the points of agreement discussed and the recommendations submitted by the Mediation Group under previous discussions with the parties on the point of disagreement, including political appointments, administrative status and security arrangements in Darfur. The Government of the Sudan and the delegation of the Movement subsequently expressed support for the draft, which was also publicly stated on 30 April, provided an acceptable approach to resolving a number of controversial issues. The Justice Movement sought further negotiations with the Government of the Sudan to reach agreement on the relevant provisions of the human rights and fundamental freedoms chapter. On 3 May, there was disagreement between the parties on the scope and procedural aspects of the negotiating process leading to the collapse of the negotiations.", "Subsequently, the mediation team, at a meeting of all stakeholders on Darfur held in Doha from 27 to 31 May, sought feedback from the representative of Darfur on the draft text. The organization and organization of the meeting was supported by the Government of Qatar and by UNAMID. Approximately 500 people, such as parties to conflict, civil society groups, political parties, elected officials, refugees and the Darfur diaspora, participated together. The draft agreement was not circulated but key elements of the draft were presented to various stakeholders as a basis for the discussion. A meeting of international partners was also held to assess the progress achieved thus far.", "A number of challenges were encountered in the selection and action of participants before and during meetings of stakeholders. UNAMID cooperates with civil society follow-up mechanisms in three states to select civil society representatives to participate in the meeting in accordance with the standards set by the Mediation Team. In Nyala, the State Government insisted that an alternative civil society mechanism consisting of the National Congress Party proponents be involved in the selection of representatives and that a lead member of the civil society follow-up mechanism was detained on 2 May. As a result of air conditioning constraints, seven internally displaced persons were unable to move from Nyala to Doha on 26 May, in accordance with the original schedule.", "In addition, with regard to the selection of participants, the National Intelligence and Security Service arrested a UNAMID national Civil Affairs Officer in Nyala on 27 April. The authorities informed UNAMID that the reasons for the detention of the staff were relevant to the role he played in the selection of the participants at the meetings of the stakeholders. UNAMID met with the Government of the Sudan to make it important to respect the status-of-forces agreement and subsequently to visit the staff member, who had previously been heart disease and poor health. The mission requested that the staff be allowed to visit UNAMID hospitals, but was denied by the National Intelligence and Security Agency.", "Following the start of the stakeholder meeting, the proceedings were composed of several plenary meetings and working groups, during the plenary meeting participants were informed of the main elements of the draft agreement; during the Working Group's meeting, the parties indicated their respective positions and the participants made comments on the agreement. The focus of the meeting was on human rights and fundamental freedoms, compensation and return, the sharing of powers and wealth and internal dialogue and consultation in Darfur. During the meeting, the representatives of the Government of the Sudan and the Movement stressed the desirability of the terms of the agreement, particularly in the areas of wealth sharing and support for returnees; while the Justice Movement had criticized the draft and believed that it had not fully met the wishes of the people of Darfur. The widest discussion of civil society representatives included compensation, security, administrative status in Darfur and accountability for past human rights violations.", "At the closing ceremony on 31 May, participants endorsed a communiqué setting out that the draft Doha document constituted the basis for achieving a permanent ceasefire in Darfur, an inclusive and comprehensive peace settlement and sustainable peace and stability in Darfur. In addition, the communiqué calls upon the Government of the Sudan and the armed movements to make every effort to achieve a permanent ceasefire and a comprehensive solution based on that document. In support of these efforts, the main international partners intend to establish a follow-up committee for Darfur, led by the Government of Qatar. The Commission will support the implementation of the agreement as a neighbouring group.", "Following the meeting of stakeholders, the Chief Mediator and the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of Qatar submitted a draft document to me on 13 June in Addis Ababa to the Chairman of the African Union Commission, in Cairo on 14 June, to the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States (ANU) and on 20 June. The President of the AU, the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States and I congratulate the mediator and the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs on the outcome of the negotiations and welcome the continued efforts made on the basis of the draft.", "On 14 June, the JEM issued a statement on the Doha negotiations to question the inclusiveness of the meetings of stakeholders, noting that the Conference endorsed the question of the parties, not the draft document. However, the Justice Movement continues to claim its willingness to continue its negotiations. On 3 and 9 June, the Government of the Sudan and the Justice Movement held bilateral talks in Doha, but because of differences in the scope of negotiations.

UNAMID and the African Union High-level Implementation Group encouraged the Government of the Sudan to build broad-based support among all stakeholders prior to the referendum.

Of these, 65 were carried out by the Sudanese Armed Forces or the National Intelligence and Security Agency and three armed movements. In most cases, the Government's military or intelligence services limit UNAMID patrols. The scope of patrols is either located in areas where the Government suspects the presence of the movements or requires access to the area. During the period from 1 April to 30 June, UNAMID carried out 5,771 flights, but the Sudan Armed Forces and other Government officials denied 60 slot applications. Most of the restrictions were imposed on flights attempting to enter or over the eastern Jebela or military area.", "Safety and security", "The number of attacks on peacekeepers and humanitarian personnel in UNAMID is still very low, partly due to the strong gesture of military personnel and police in UNAMID.", "UNAMID peacekeepers were hit by two armed attacks, the first being on 5 April by unknown armed personnel, a patrol from Farobono (17 kilometres south-west of Ktum).

There were no injuries.", "On 6 May, a national language assistant in UNAMID was arrested by the National Intelligence and Security Agency in El Fasher and subsequently transferred to Khartoum.

In the incident of 11 June, a UNAMID peacekeepers at the pre-exclusive passenger were injured.", "Humanitarian situation", "While some progress has been made in improving access to humanitarian assistance, the ongoing conflict between the Government and the movement forces continues to have a negative impact on the humanitarian situation. The figures endorsed by the Government and the United Nations country team show that by the beginning of 2010, between 60,000 and 70,000 people have been displaced from Sichetbai and East Gambeloma for fighting. In addition, the authorities of Southern Darfur, on the basis of the presence of armed movements, prohibited humanitarian agencies from travelling to Nyala 15 kilometres outside of Nyala.", "On 11 April, the National Intelligence and Security Service entered the Karma refugee camp and arrested a resident (who is also a staff member of international non-governmental organizations). On 13 April, young internally displaced persons abducted 11 national aid workers in the camps for reprisals. After intervention by UNAMID and United Nations agencies, these young people were released after 24 hours. Since then, the Government authorities have imposed two months of humanitarian access in Kalma, allowing international aid workers to enter the camps in some cases. In addition, medical supplies and pump fuel are granted access to the camps only on a case-by-case basis. National non-governmental organization staff may continue to work in the clinics or also provide water to the camp population; these restrictions were later cancelled.", "In order to improve access to humanitarian assistance, UNAMID and humanitarian agencies launched Operation “Black of Operation” on 1 May, which aims to improve access in parts of Darfur that are not accessible in several months and to provide assistance to those areas. The action sought to reach about 44,000 beneficiaries, with UNAMID and aid workers conducting needs assessments and providing assistance. During the course of the operation, humanitarian supplies were provided to the following locations: Aynnhiro, Ktum, Kilin, Kumaraat, Goro, Cabro, Tinna, Khara and Saes. Sako is a small town of the Sudan Liberation Army-Abha Wahid controlled area, the first time that humanitarian agencies have travelled to the town since 2009.", "In addition, in order to improve access and assistance in eastern Gambelmara, UNAMID and the Sudan Resident Coordinator/Humanitarian Coordinator, in consultation with the Sudan Liberation Army-Ab Abdul Wahid and the Government, agreed to establish a new UNAMID team in Fernando, Southern Darfur.", "In the area of health care, the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the state health sector conducted polio and measles vaccination activities throughout the region. Activities included vaccinations for tribes in remote rural areas and the “clearing” of areas previously experiencing measles epidemics.", "In terms of improving water supply, UNAMID launched a water resources initiative on 26 April to distribute large-scale rolling water vehicles to returnees. The water is largely convenient for women and children to return a large number of wells to their homes, thereby reducing their risk of harassment and violence by reducing the number of water that must leave the camps or villages. A total of 3,000 delivery vehicles are planned throughout Darfur.", "The International Conference on Water Resources for Sustainable Peace in Darfur was held in Khartoum on 27 and 28 June. Participants attempted to establish a new integrated water management framework in Darfur to ensure the proper management of water resources. The Conference organizers seek to fund 65 projects. To establish a fair and sustainable water service system. About 500 participants attended by representatives of the Government of the Sudan, UNAMID, UNICEF, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the United Nations Environment Programme, donors and other international actors.

A total of 202 Government police officers, officers of the National Intelligence and Security Agency and magistrates of the Rural Courts have been trained in the concept of fundamental human rights and in the arrest and detention process.", "The number of cases of sexual and gender-based violence recorded by UNAMID decreased slightly, from 29 incidents in the first quarter of 2011 (54 victims) to 17 incidents (26 victims). Several workshops were held to enhance the capacity of government agencies to prevent and respond to such incidents. On 2 April, for example, UNAMID held a workshop for 17 female parliamentarians in El Fasher to teach the role of female parliamentarians in implementing State obligations to prevent sexual and gender-based violence. Gender training was also provided to 39 central reserve police officers in Zalingei on 1 and 2 May, and to prosecutors in El Geneina on 3 and 4 May.", "In addition, UNAMID continued to monitor the trial and bring it into line with international human rights principles. In one case, two persons were convicted in Nyala on 2 May for having been imprisoned for 10 years because of their participation in two vehicles organized by Ayiel Sanft World Vision on 21 February. The Court also sentenced a 16-year-old boy to 6 years of paternity because he participated in three aviation staff recruited by WFP on 4 November 2010.", "In accordance with the memorandum of understanding exchanged between the Government and UNAMID, three Prison Development Committees were established in El Geneina and Zalingei in April, and one Prison Development Commission was established in Nyala in May. These committees will serve as a forum to address the challenges faced by prisons and to promote prison reform.", "UNAMID continued to work with the Government authorities to enhance the capacity of corrections officers and improve the conditions of prisoners. In this regard, UNAMID organized a course on “Basic Responsibility for Prisons and Approach to the Management of Human Rights in Prisons” from 10 to 14 April and from 15 to 19 May, respectively, in Northern Darfur and Southern Darfur. In addition, a number of projects have been implemented to improve the livelihood prospects and conditions of prisoners. UNAMID, in collaboration with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, provided vocational training for 60 prisoners in Southern Darfur for the manufacture of bricks. The brick produced by trainees will be used for prison construction projects. On 27 April, a water and sanitation project funded by quick-impact projects was completed at a prison in El Geneina. In addition, on 30 and 31 March, UNAMID, in collaboration with WHO, UNDP and the Ministry of Health, organized a medical camp event, benefiting 1,000 prisoners and their families and members from the El Fasher local community.", "Protection of children", "Continue its efforts to assist children formerly involved in armed conflict. JEM-Peace participated in the demobilization activities hosted by the Government in El Geneina from 17 to 29 April.

Some 934 UNAMID personnel benefited, including 128 civilians, 580 United Nations police and 226 peacekeepers. In addition, in April UNAMID organized a four-day training course in collaboration with the Swedish Save the Children Federation, with 47 military personnel, United Nations police and United Nations military observers.

This includes increased patrolling of communities in rural areas, including Gambelmara, Jebelouen (Northern El Geneina) and Southern Darfur-South Sudan. The logistics arrangements can be completed by deploying civilian personnel to UNAMID team sites in Shangiritoba and Abéché Bay to better coordinate UNAMID activities with humanitarian actors.", "In the framework of the UNAMID strategy for the protection of civilians, early warning and early response mechanisms have been strengthened through the issuance of weekly reports for senior management in UNAMID. In addition, the coordination of humanitarian actors with UNAMID military and police personnel has improved through the establishment of a weekly civil-military coordination system.", "In the context of the protection of returnees, the Joint Verification Mechanism continued to assess the voluntary and appropriateness of returnees in Darfur. Since early 2011, voluntary returns have been at a rate of about 1,500 per week.

As the living conditions in Darfur are poor and the security situation is unpredictable, the Mission still has difficulty in recruiting and retaining qualified staff. With regard to the increase in international staff, 36 staff had arrived in the mission area, 32 were separated and one candidate refused the mission's notice of employment.", "As at 30 June, UNAMID had 18,014 military personnel, accounting for 92 per cent of the authorized strength of 19,555, including 17,451 troops, 302 staff officers, 61 liaison officers and 195 military observers. The multifunctional logistics unit in Ethiopia, the Rwandan medium-wing general air force and the Nigerian regional reconnaissance unit are expected to be deployed later this year and the new Senegalese battalion is expected to expire in October 2011. Two rotary-wing generic aviation units and one fixed-wing air reconnaissance unit remain understaffed.", "In the past three months, the readiness and self-sustainability of military contingents have slightly improved.

As at 26 June, 1,070 visa requests were pending. Of these, 775 were police officers, 96 were military staff officers and observers, and 199 were civilian personnel, including consultants and visitors. Although the number of pending entry visa requests remains high, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been swiftly considering a large number of UNAMID staff members who have been employed with contracts for joint staying on 30 June (i.e., the end of the 2010/11 biennium). The Government of the Sudan subsequently committed itself to the approval of all outstanding visa requests.", "Progress has been made in the implementation of the UNAMID Radio Broadcast Intermodal Programme.

Despite logistical challenges, improvements in the 12 team sites have been completed in 30 team sites. The remaining 18 team sites are at different stages of completion and are scheduled to end by 31 July 2011. Another seven team sites will be completed by 31 December 2011.

This progress has greatly improved the living conditions, safety and security of UNAMID staff in Darfur.", "Since the last report, 11 wells have been struck; the total number of completed water has reached 35. These wells are shared with local communities aimed at improving community water conditions. With regard to the plan to contract 25 wells with an international company referred to in the previous report, the contract was cancelled as a result of difficulties in obtaining visas and mobilizing drilling equipment.", "The construction of the Community Police Centre is still under way. 13 of the 70 centres planned for construction have been completed and three are close to completion.", "Over the past three months, a total of 30 quick-impact projects have been completed. A total of 288 projects have been completed by 65 per cent and 65 new projects have been approved. Several projects have made little progress because of insecurity and low capacity of local implementing partners.", "UNAMID continues to reduce the threat of unexploded ordnance across Darfur. The Mission visited and destroyed more than 314 ammunitions and provided risk awareness training to some 33,000 civilians. A total of 645 kilometres of road has been assessed as safe.

It also oversees the demobilization of 1,173 elements of the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Civil Defence Forces in Southern Darfur and Western Darfur. UNAMID supports these activities by providing technical advice and logistical support and by providing personnel and equipment to check HIV/AIDS.", "Progress in mission benchmarks", "As indicated in the introduction, the present report assesses progress against the benchmarks set out in annex II to the Secretary-General's report of 16 November 2009 (S/2009/592).", "The first benchmark (to achieve a comprehensive political settlement of conflicts) has made some progress. The differences between the Government and the Liberation Movement in the Doha negotiations have decreased, and the elements of the agreement have been incorporated into a draft text. A number of representatives of the Darfur society had ratified the text at all stakeholders, which was based on a comprehensive peace in Darfur. The Government and the Justice Movement have been negotiating, although these negotiations are mainly limited to human rights, power-sharing and security arrangements. The full realization of this benchmark remains unavoidable, as several movements, including the Sudan Liberation Army-Ab Abdul Wahid and the Sudan Liberation Army-Mini Minavia, have not yet joined the peace process, and they also indicated their intention to re-establish the Government.", "The second benchmark is to restore a safe and stable environment throughout Darfur. The intermittent conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the movements has limited progress in this benchmark. However, the military and police components of UNAMID have increased the number of remote and medium-range patrols to new locations, thus improving the Mission's presence and promoting security in remote areas. The resource-related conflict resulted in 23 deaths, an increase in the number of 12 deaths over the previous period.", "The third benchmark is to strengthen the rule of law, governance and human rights protection. Overall, there is little progress in this regard. The parties to the conflict have not fulfilled their obligations to protect civilians in the fighting under international human rights law. The number of violations and violations recorded in the case remains similar to the number of previous reports. From a positive point of view, UNAMID recorded a decrease in the number of arbitrary detention cases, and UNAMID continued to cooperate with national authorities in order to consolidate those results. In addition, the Mission continued to cooperate with the armed movements to end the recruitment and use of child soldiers and to provide technical advice to the judiciary.", "The fourth benchmark is to stabilize the humanitarian situation and facilitate humanitarian access. In this regard, some progress has been made through the spring basket operation (as noted in paragraph 36 above), during the spring basket operation, UNAMID and humanitarian agencies undertook needs assessments of previously excluded areas and provided assistance to the communities there. In addition, UNAMID has increased the number of intermediate and distance patrols and the number of patrolling sites.", "Financial issues", "The General Assembly, in its resolution 65/305, appropriated an amount of $16,893 million for the maintenance of the Operation for the period from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012. Should the Security Council decide to extend the mandate of UNAMID beyond 31 July 2011, the cost of maintaining the operation would be limited to the amount approved by the General Assembly for the annual financial period.", "As at 7 July 2011, unpaid assessed contributions to the Special Account for UNAMID amounted to $182 million. As at the same date, the total outstanding assessed contributions for all peacekeeping operations amounted to $154.1 million.", "Pursuant to the quarterly payment schedule, troop/police-contributing Governments and contingent-owned equipment costs have been reimbursed by 31 May 2011 and 31 March 2011.", "Observations and recommendations", "The Darfur peace process has reached a key road. Negotiations between the Government and the Movement appear to be close to the end. However, since the Sudan Liberation Army- Abdul Wahid and the Sudan Liberation Army - Minini Minavia continued to pursue their objectives through military means, negotiations between the Government and the Justice Movement seemed to be deadlocked and the result of the negotiations would not constitute a comprehensive settlement of the conflict. The draft discussions and agreements of all stakeholders in Darfur, mainly based on the outcome of negotiations between the Government and the Movement, are a progress and, as endorsed by the Conference, are also the basis for advancing the peace process. In view of these progress, a new road map is being developed to plan future steps in the Darfur peace process.", "As for the main elements of the new road map, a meaningful solution to the conflict in Darfur still needs extensive support from parties to the conflict and those affected by the conflict. In that regard, I urge the international community to send a consistent message to the Government, the Sudan Liberation Army-Ministry of Mini, the Sudan Liberation Army- Abdul Wahid and the Justice Movement, calling on them to cease hostilities and commence negotiations unconditionally.", "A credible internal dialogue and consultative process in Darfur could enhance the support of the people to the peace process, strengthen local ownership of the peace process and reinforce the outcome of the Doha negotiations, thus benefiting from the Darfur peace process. I therefore encourage the international community to support this process in the new road map. In that regard, I welcome the preparations for the Darfur peace process by UNAMID and the African Union High-level Implementation Team. The establishment of an environment conducive to the peace process in Darfur remains essential, and I urge the Government to honour its commitments and lift the Darfur state of emergency law as the first crucial confidence-building measure.", "In the coming months, UNAMID, the African Union, the United Nations and the international community as a whole must be prepared to assist the Government of the Sudan in addressing the causes of instability in the country as a whole. It is essential to hold armed attacks and engage in political dialogue. The upcoming Constitutional Review provides an opportunity for political parties and interest groups to agree on a new management system that addresses central and local relations behind the conflict in the Sudan. The road map for the political process in Darfur must therefore be mutually reinforcing with the broader Sudan stabilization strategy. In that regard, I am pleased to note that the African Union and the United Nations have started preliminary consultations on the next steps of the Darfur peace process.", "In the past three months, sporadic fighting between the Government and various movement forces has disrupted the stability of war-torn areas, and many communities need protection and humanitarian assistance. In addition, military activities and related restrictions limit the ability of UNAMID and humanitarian agencies to reach the population. In view of these concerns, I again reiterate to the warring parties that there is no military solution to the conflict in Darfur. The continued pursuit of political goals by military means can only prolong the suffering of the people of Darfur and delay peace. In that regard, I call on Governments and movements that have not yet done so to immediately cease hostilities and join the peace process without delay.", "I am encouraged by the voluntary return of internally displaced persons to their towns and villages. I commend the UNAMID and the humanitarian community, in addition to the protection and assistance that have been provided to internally displaced persons and the resident communities, and to focus on providing protection and assistance to those returnees. In addition, I commend the efforts of UNAMID, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, UNICEF, WHO and other agencies involved in the “Sumber Action” to improve access to humanitarian assistance in the eastern Jebele and other areas of access. In this course, humanitarian organizations have undertaken needs assessments and provided assistance to 12 locations, including five sites in East Djibelmara, which have been unable to access in the previous few months. I note that this action paves the way for re-entry into these areas at the time of future visits, and I urge UNAMID and the humanitarian community to take steps to ensure continued support to these areas.", "I note with concern that the operations of UNAMID and humanitarian organizations remain limited. Although the vast majority of restrictions are imposed by government agencies in areas where it is known or suspected to have the power of the movement, the Mission retains the right to assess the security situation of its patrol and retains the right to carry out its activities in accordance with its mandate after identifying the risks are acceptable. The Government security institutions can inform UNAMID that they are concerned about security, but they cannot prevent UNAMID from continuing its activities. I reiterate my call on the Government and the movements to refrain from imposing restrictions on UNAMID and humanitarian organizations.", "In the coming year, the Government and the people of the Sudan have provided important opportunities for the future to resolve conflicts that undermine their security and prosperity. The Government and people will also face the major challenges posed by changes in the Sudan. In Darfur, UNAMID has made considerable progress in implementing its mandate to protect civilians, and I am convinced that it will play a significant role in supporting grass-roots peacebuilding and reconciliation initiatives, together with the African Union High-level Implementation Team. In my next report, I intend to update the Security Council on the road map for peace in Darfur. For the above reasons, I recommend that the Council consider extending the mandate of UNAMID for one year. During this period, I will review with the African Union the approved resources authorized for UNAMID to ensure its most effective and efficient use.", "Turning to the security of UNAMID and humanitarian personnel in Darfur, I am encouraged by the relatively low number of attacks recorded during the reporting period. - partly because UNAMID military and police personnel have maintained a strong position, but I most strongly condemn those responsible for the attacks on UNAMID patrols, which resulted in the unfortunate loss of life of a UNAMID police adviser. Such attacks should be condemned and constituted in violation of international law. I extend my sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the police adviser and call on the Government to bring the perpetrators of this heinous attack to justice.", "I am pleased and pleased to see the release of three United Nations air carriers contracted by the United Nations Humanitarian Air Transport Service in Western Darfur on 13 January 2011. I call on the Government to bring to justice those responsible for this matter and to take steps to put an end to the abduction of staff who help alleviate the suffering of the people of Darfur.", "I am deeply concerned about the detention of two UNAMID national staff by the National Intelligence and Security Agency without charge or trial. All UNAMID staff members have immunity from arrest or prosecution in the performance of their duties in compliance with the mission's mandate. The detention of these staff without charge constitutes a grave breach of the status-of-forces agreement. I insist that the Government immediately release these staff and submit to my Joint Special Representative, in accordance with the appropriate procedures, any evidence of the wrongful acts that the two have been seized by the Government.", "Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Joint Chief Mediator, Jabril Iperin Bassolé and his team for their excellent work and substantive contributions to the Darfur peace process. I would also like to express our appreciation to the Government of Qatar for its support for the negotiations. I would like to thank the African Union-United Nations Joint Special Representative for Darfur, Mr. Ibrahim Gambari, for his leadership of the Mission, and all UNAMID personnel for their tireless efforts in the often difficult and grave situation. I would also like to thank many humanitarian personnel for their dedicated efforts to maintain and improve the lives of the people of Darfur affected by the conflict." ]

In order to help steer the discussions on the subject, Germany has prepared the attached concept note (see annex).", "I would be grateful if the present letter and its annex could be circulated as a document of the Security Council.", "(Signed) Peter Wittig Permanent Representative Germany", "Annex to the letter dated 1 July 2011 from the Permanent Representative of Germany to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General", "Maintenance of international peace and security: the impact of climate change", "Concept note", "Introduction", "1. Climate change is among the key challenges facing the international community. The impacts of climate change on peace and security are already tangible and will become increasingly evident in the years to come. This is occurring at a time of rapid global change marked by growing populations, increasing demand for natural resources and depletion of fertile soils and freshwater. These impacts could potentially drive social tensions, political unrest and violent conflict. The effects of climate change thus go beyond the mandate of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which is the United Nations body for international climate negotiations.", "2. The potential security implications of climate change were highlighted when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. Shortly thereafter, the General Assembly, in its resolution 63/281, invited the relevant organs of the United Nations, as appropriate and within their respective mandates, to intensify their efforts in considering and addressing climate change, including its possible security implications, and requested the Secretary-General to submit a comprehensive report to the Assembly on the possible security implications of climate change. Drawing upon the best available science at the time and the views of Member States and international organizations, the Secretary-General, in his 2009 report (A/64/350), clearly outlined the link between the risk multiplier effects of climate change and security, including with respect to armed conflict.", "Security implications of climate change and the Security Council", "3. The Security Council has increasingly acknowledged that sustainable peace requires a comprehensive approach to security. Only recently, it noted that in matters relating to the maintenance of international peace and security under its consideration, conflict analysis and contextual information on, inter alia, social and economic issues were important, when such issues were drivers of conflict, and requested the Secretary-General to ensure that his reporting to the Council contained such contextual information (see S/PRST/2011/4).", "4. Since climate change presents a particular challenge to fragile countries, it is important to take the security implications of climate change and its impact on resource availability into account in conflict analysis, mission planning and mission monitoring. The same applies to peacebuilding activities.", "5. The Security Council first debated the link between energy, security and climate in April 2007 under the presidency of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (see S/PV.5663), and over 50 Member States have contributed inputs. Since that first debate, the international political and scientific discourse has evolved significantly, and awareness of the potential security implications of climate change has increased. It is time to bring the security implications of climate change to the attention of the Council again. A debate on this topic is consistent with its mandate to maintain international peace and security and would provide an opportunity to advance the intense dialogue on the issue from its specific security perspective. The debate will focus exclusively on the potential security implications of climate change, recognizing the important role of other United Nations bodies in dealing with other aspects of climate change.", "Security implications of climate change: sea-level rise", "6. In his 2009 report, the Secretary-General identified sea-level rise as the “ultimate security threat” for some small island States, with some possibly set to “disappear over the next 30 years”. While complete inundation may take years and the rise in the sea level may differ in different regions of the world, this is not only a future risk but a current reality: on some islands, the situation is already dire enough to require the evacuation of the resident population now. Furthermore, even before sea-level rise actually submerges an island, its impacts may render it uninhabitable, requiring permanent resettlement.", "7. This raises profound questions regarding the very survival of several Member States. Receding coastlines could furthermore incite disputes over maritime territories and access to exclusive economic zones. This is not limited to small island developing States, but affects all island nations and countries with low-lying coastal areas as well, thus affecting the majority of Member States. These are threats that are so far unknown in the history of the United Nations. Current legal and political arrangements and the preparedness of the United Nations system to deal with these situations may prove insufficient, making climate-induced territorial changes a threat to international peace and security.", "8. Millions of people will be affected on all continents. This is particularly worrisome with regard to post-conflict reconstruction and peacebuilding efforts in a number of countries, such as Côte d’Ivoire, Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Somalia and Timor-Leste.", "9. Uncoordinated strategies aimed at coping with forced migration caused by sea-level rise may create social and political tensions, which may derail efforts in peacebuilding and post-conflict stabilization and become a threat to international peace and security, as outlined in the report of the Secretary-General (A/64/350).", "10. The issue of sea-level rise raises, inter alia, the following questions:", "(a) Is the United Nations system prepared to deal with the security risks resulting from sea-level rise? What are the different scenarios we will have to face? How could the Security Council address these scenarios within its mandate?", "(b) What are the implications of climate-induced statelessness for conflict prevention and peacebuilding, as well as dispute settlement?", "Security implications of climate change: the food security nexus", "11. In 2005, the Security Council discussed the role of food security in its debate on Africa’s food crisis as a threat to peace and security (see S/PV.5220). During the debate, it became clear that food insecurity could be both a cause and a consequence of violent conflict and that food insecurity and intra-State conflict were closely linked.", "12. Climate change is likely to reduce food production globally, with large parts of Africa and Asia suffering particular negative impacts. Although some countries in northern latitudes may theoretically benefit from climate change in the short term, the wildfires and crop failures in Australia and the Russian Federation in recent years have shown that developed and developing countries alike can be negatively affected.", "13. Following the recent food crisis, social protests and unrest occurred in a number of countries and cities around the world (see A/64/350). Populations in countries in a post-conflict situation or suffering from instability can rarely afford escalating global food prices following droughts and similar events; this challenge and the fact that they have access to only a few substitutes makes them even more vulnerable to climate change impacts.", "14. In addition, a number of fragile States are especially susceptible to increasing food prices owing to their dependence on food imports. In some countries on the Security Council’s agenda, including Afghanistan, Côte d’Ivoire, Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Somalia and the Sudan, nearly half or more of the labour force is employed in the agricultural sector. Major droughts, an increase in extreme weather events and a rising number of large-scale inundations causing a decrease in crop production may degrade the social-economic fabric of these and other countries and may be detrimental to peacebuilding.", "15. Thus, food insecurity caused by climate change and related developmental impacts make countries more fragile and vulnerable to conflict risks, and may create a threat to international peace and security. It is necessary to consider these issues in all efforts related to conflict prevention, crisis management, peacebuilding and post-conflict stabilization.", "16. Food insecurity caused by climate change raises, inter alia, the following questions:", "• How could food insecurity caused by climate change be linked with or integrated in existing mechanisms for early warning and conflict prevention?", "• What are the implications of the nexus between climate change and food security for United Nations peacekeeping missions and peacebuilding activities?", "Further issues for discussion", "17. Taking into account the arguments outlined above, a number of additional questions with respect to the security implications of climate change merit further reflection:", "• In addition to sea-level rise and food insecurity, what threats to international peace and security posed by climate change need to be addressed (such as extreme weather events, impaired access to drinking water and climate-induced migration)?", "• How could the Security Council and regional organizations working on peace and security best complement each other with regard to the security implications of climate change?", "• What would be the appropriate mechanisms to periodically bring the security implications of climate change relevant to the work of the Security Council to its attention?", "• How could the Security Council play a part in a more integrated approach to conflict prevention as foreseen in Security Council resolution 1625 (2005), in addition to placing greater emphasis on climate-related factors?", "• How could other United Nations organs and agencies working on conflict prevention and peacebuilding, including the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission, the Peacebuilding Support Office, the Department for Political Affairs, the Office for the Coordination of Human Affairs, the Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery of the United Nations Development Programme and the Post-Conflict and Disaster Management Branch of the United Nations Environment Programme, best integrate the security implications of climate change in their work?" ]

[ "Letter dated 1 July 2011 from the Permanent Representative of Germany to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General", "I have the honour to inform you that during the presidency of Germany, the Security Council will hold an open debate on Wednesday, 20 July 2011 on the question of “Maintenance of international peace and security: the impact of climate change”. In order to facilitate guidance on the discussion on this issue, Germany prepared the concept note annexed to this document (see annex).", "I should be grateful if you would have the present letter and its annex circulated as a document of the Security Council.", "Permanent Representative", "Permanent Representative", "Annex to the letter dated 1 July 2011 from the Permanent Representative of Germany to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General", "Maintenance of international peace and security: impacts of climate change", "Conceptual note", "Introduction", "Climate change is one of the main challenges facing the international community. The impact of climate change on peace and security is now true and will be more visible in the coming years. At a time of rapid global changes, climate change is characterized by a sharp rise in the population and a growing demand for natural resources, while both voca and fresh water have been exhausted. These factors are likely to exacerbate social tensions, political instability and violent conflicts. Thus, the impact of climate change goes beyond the mandate of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change as the international climate negotiation body.", "The 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was honoured by the Nobel Peace Prize, highlighting the potential security implications of climate change. Shortly thereafter, the General Assembly, in its resolution 63/281, invited relevant United Nations bodies to make further efforts, as appropriate, to consider and address climate change, including the possible security implications of climate change, and requested the Secretary-General to submit a comprehensive report on the possible security implications of climate change. The Secretary-General's 2009 report (A/64/350) provides a clear overview of the relationship between climate change as an additional risk multiplier and security, including in relation to armed conflict, based on the best available scientific knowledge and from the perspective of Member States and international organizations.", "Impact of climate change on security and the Security Council", "The Council is increasingly aware that lasting peace requires a comprehensive and integrated approach to security. In recent times, the Council noted that “in the context of ongoing deliberations on matters relating to the maintenance of international peace and security, conflict analysis must be carried out, access to relevant background information, particularly on social and economic issues, which are the causes of conflict”, and “requests the Secretary-General to ensure that such background information is provided in his report to the Council”. (S/PRST/2009/4).", "Given the particular challenge posed by climate change to vulnerable countries, the impact of climate change on security and its impact on access to resources must be taken into account in conflict analysis, mission planning and mission oversight. This applies equally to peacebuilding activities.", "In April 2007, at the time of the presidency of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Security Council held a debate on the linkages between energy, security and climate (see S/PV.5663) and over 50 Member States of the United Nations provided inputs. Since the first debate, international political and scientific exchanges have changed significantly and have deepened awareness of the potential security implications of climate change. It is time to draw the Council's attention to the impact of climate change on security. The debate on this topic is in line with the Council's mandate for the maintenance of international peace and security and provides an opportunity for serious dialogue on this issue from the Council's specific security perspective. The debate will focus on the potential security implications of climate change and recognize the important role that other United Nations agencies can play in addressing other aspects of climate change.", "Impact of climate change on security: sea-level rise", "In his 2009 report, the Secretary-General confirmed that sea-level rise constituted “the most serious security threat” for a number of small island States, and that some States might “remove in the next 30 years”. Although the full flood of water is not yet required for many years, the rise in the world's regional sea level varies, but this is not only a future risk but also today's reality: In some islands, the situation has been very serious and must be ordered to dislocate the existing permanent population. In addition, even before sea-level rise actually pushed the island, its impact could also prevent the island from living and require permanent settlement of the population.", "This situation raises serious questions about the survival of several Member States of the United Nations. In addition, the refund of the coastline may further trigger the controversy over the territorial waters and the controversy surrounding the exclusive economic zone. This is not only limited to small island developing States but also affects all island States and low-land coastal States, thereby affecting the vast majority of United Nations Member States. These threats have never been encountered in the history of the United Nations. The fact may prove that the current legal and political arrangements, as well as the preparatory work of the United Nations system to deal with these circumstances, are not sufficient to solve the problem, which may pose a threat to international peace and security posed by climate change.", "In all continents, millions will be affected. This is particularly worrying for countries that are engaged in post-conflict reconstruction and peacebuilding efforts, such as Haiti, Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Somalia and Timor-Leste.", "As outlined in the report of the Secretary-General (A/64/350), the situation of forced migrants due to sea-level rise may pose a threat to international peace and security if there is a coordinated response strategy.", "On the other hand, sea-level rise also raises the following issues:", "(a) Would the United Nations system be prepared to respond to security risks arising from sea-level rise? What different circumstances we will have to face? How can the Security Council address these situations within its mandate?", "(b) What are the implications of statelessness arising from climate change for conflict prevention, peacebuilding and dispute resolution?", "Impact of climate change on security: linkage between food security and other aspects", "In 2005, the Security Council discussed the role of food security in its debate on “The food crisis in Africa” (see S/PV.5220). In the course of the debate, it is increasingly clear that food insecurity can be both a cause of violent conflict or a consequence that food insecurity is closely linked to domestic conflicts.", "Climate change may result in global food production and will be particularly negatively affected in most Africa and Asia. Although climate change may be beneficial in the short term in some countries of the North, recent wild fires and crop apologies in Australia and the Russian Federation indicate that both developed and developing countries may be negatively affected.", "After the recent food crisis, “Some countries and cities in the world have experienced social protests and unrest” (see A/64/350). The people of post-conflict or unstable countries have difficulty affording the rising global food prices after drought and similar events; this challenge and only the availability of very few alternatives to make the people of those countries more vulnerable to climate change.", "In addition, some vulnerable countries are particularly vulnerable to rising food prices due to dependence on food imports. A number of States included in the agenda of the Security Council, such as Afghanistan, Côte d'Ivoire, Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Somalia and the Sudan, employ nearly half or more of the workforce in the agricultural sector. Major droughts, increased extreme weather and increased special flooding have led to reduced crop yields, which may undermine the social and economic fabric of these countries and other countries and may undermine peacebuilding processes.", "Thus, the food insecurity caused by climate change and the impact on development make some countries more vulnerable and more vulnerable to the risk of conflict and can pose a threat to international peace and security. These issues need to be taken into account in all efforts to prevent conflicts, crisis management, peacebuilding and post-conflict stability.", "Among other things, the food insecurity caused by climate change presents the following issues:", "• How can the food insecurity caused by climate change be linked or combined with existing early warning and conflict prevention mechanisms?", "• The relationship between climate change and food security affects United Nations peacekeeping mandates and peacebuilding activities?", "Issues for further discussion", "According to the argument outlined above, some new issues merit further reflection on the impact of climate change on security.", "• In addition to sea-level rise and food insecurity, what other risks posed by climate change to international peace and security need to be addressed (e.g. extreme weather events, access to drinking water, climate-induced migrants)?", "• How can the Security Council and regional organizations involved in peace and security best complement the issue of the impact of climate change on security?", "• What appropriate mechanisms are taken to bring to the attention of the Security Council the issue of the impact of climate change on security in its work?", "• How can the Security Council play a role in conflict prevention, including through increased emphasis on climate-related factors, in accordance with the more integrated approach foreseen in resolution 1625 (2005)?", "• How can other organs and bodies of the United Nations engaged in conflict prevention and peacebuilding (e.g. the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission, the Peacebuilding Support Office, the Department of Political Affairs, the Office for the Coordination of Human Affairs, the United Nations Development Programme Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery and the United Nations Environment Programme Post-conflict and Disaster Management Service) be best integrated in their work?" ]

880万美元(2009年为1 660万美元)；贺卡和礼品销售收入减少了58%，减少到1 680万美元(2009年为3 980万美元)和异常坏账费用880万美元(2009年为100万美元)。在私营部门筹资的净收入中，经常资源净收入总额占95%，而2009年占89.5%。", "[][]", "4.

重新注重战略领导职能的安排。2010年私营部门司向这个过程投资450万美元。这些费用已列入上表的“销售直接费用”。", "8. 私营部门司的直接费用减少了90万美元，从2009年的4 090万美元减少到2010年的4 000万美元。减少的原因是售出商品的成本和库存费用减少110万美元、宣传材料减少30万美元、国家办事处销售和筹款费用减少280万美元。不过，由于上述贺卡和礼品合理化投资产生的一次性费用，运营及支助费用增加330万美元抵消了减少的费用。", "9. 为了使私营部门司能够通过筹款和销售活动更有效地调集资源，执行局在核准的2010年预算中把2 560万美元用作投资基金的费用。投资基金方案的目的是增强国家委员会和儿基会国家办事处的能力，以扩大个人和企业部门支持的筹资基础以及测试和评估新的创收举措，重点主要是回报率高的项目。2010年投资基金的支出总额为2 560万美元，而2009年为1 960万美元。资金中约92%用于获得认捐、5%用于获得一次性认捐和3%用于综合活动，包括遗产。总体上，75%的投资资金分配给国家委员会，25%给国家办事处。", "10. 间接费用增加了1 260万美元(33%)，从2009年的3 810万美元增加到2010年的5

While the net proceeds from private fundraising for regular resources increased by $8.5 million to $393.7 million in 2010, total regular resources decreased. This decrease is due to foreign exchange losses of $28.8 million (2009: $16.6 million), a 58 per cent drop in cards and products revenue to $16.8 million (2009: $39.8 million), and an exceptional bad debt expense of $8.8 million (2009: $1 million).

Asian countries were less affected by the recession, with growth in sales proceeds in Japan, Republic of Korea and Hong Kong but a decrease in sales in Thailand. Countries in South America had mixed results, with Brazil and Mexico showing a material decrease in sales proceeds and other countries reporting increased sales. The overall contribution from sales decreased by 31 per cent, from $56.7 million in 2009 to $39.1 million in 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the reduction in gross proceeds as noted above.", "7. The rationalization of PFP cards and products activities continues to progress well, and will be completed in 2011. This initiative has four primary objectives: (a) establish a flexible and more responsive organization better able to adapt to market dynamics; (b) improve the UNICEF ‘value chain’ and cost/income ratios; (c) create an operating platform that supports entry into new high potential segments; and (d) refocus the organization on strategic leadership functions. In 2010, PFP invested $4.5 million in this process. These costs are included in ‘sales direct expenses’ in the table above.", "8. PFP direct expenses were reduced by $0.9 million, from $40.9 million in 2009 to $40 million in 2010. The decrease is explained by a reduction of $1.1 million in the cost of goods sold and inventory expenses, a reduction of $0.3 million in promotion materials, a decrease of $2.8 million in country office sales and fundraising expenses. This was offset by an increase of $3.3 million in operations and support expenses, due to one-time expenses linked to the investment in the cards and products rationalization referred to above.", "9. To enable PFP to more effectively mobilize resources through fundraising and sales activities, the Executive Board approved a 2010 budget of $25.6 million for Investment Fund expenditures. The objective of the Investment Fund programme is to increase the capacity of National Committees and UNICEF country offices to build a broader support base for raising funds from individuals and the corporate sector, and to test and evaluate new income-generating initiatives, focusing primarily on projects offering high rates of returns. In 2010, the total expenditure for investment funds was $25.6 million, compared to $19.6 million in 2009. Some 92 per cent of the funds were spent on pledge acquisition, 5 per cent was invested in one-off acquisition and 3 per cent was allocated to mixed activities, including legacies. Overall, 75 per cent of the investment funds were allocated to National Committees and 25 per cent to country offices.", "10. Indirect expenses increased by $12.6 million (33 per cent) from $38.1 million in 2009 to $50.7 million in 2010. The largest contributor to this increase is the bad debt expense of $8.8 million ($1 million in 2009) that was a necessary adjustment to the accounts receivable to rectify an error where contributions reported as regular resources to UNICEF by some National Committees were in fact transferred and accounted for as other resources. Other increases were recorded in marketing and fundraising ($2.3 million), the Director’s Office, communication, finance and administration ($2 million) and National Committee relations ($0.8 million). This was offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in the costs of regional support centres.", "11. Net accounts receivable, after providing for uncollectible accounts, increased from $379.1 million in 2009 to $391 million in 2010, due to the strengthening of the Japanese Yen against the United States Dollar.", "12.

This could be attributed to a number of factors, including (a) a decrease in the net proceeds of sale compared to the budget and a consequential reduction in the cost of freight expenditure; (b) a reduction in the expenditure of publicity materials; and (c) a decrease in the country office fundraising costs due to the fact that these costs are now reinstated in the country office budget, which are recovered directly from local fundraising.", "Indirect costs amount to $507.7 million, a decrease of $8.8 million compared to the approved budget. The variance is due to a decrease in expenditure for all cost centres, offset by an increase in the cost of bad accounts. The decrease in expenditure is due mainly to the fact that research and development of budget funds for cards and gifts have not been used for restructuring, reduced operational expenditures owing to cost-saving initiatives and the recruitment of vacant posts.", "Confirmation of the Financial Regulations and Rules of the United Nations Children's Fund (E/ICEF/FINANCIAL RULES/1) and the Financial Regulations and Rules of the United Nations Children's Fund, Special Supplement to the Card Operation (E/ICEF/FINANCIAL RULES/1/Add.1)." ]

[ "第六十六届会议", "暂定项目表^(*) 项目138", "会议时地分配办法", "会议时地分配办法", "秘书长的报告", "摘要", "本报告依照大会2010年12月24日第65/245号决议和其他相关任务规定，载列了与会议管理问题有关的信息，并说明了秘书处为改进向会员国提供会议服务的质量而采取的举措。为使报告简洁，不超过字数限制，已尽可能地对信息进行概括。统计数据作为补充资料提供，载于会议委员会网站。^(a)", "^(*) A/66/50。", "^(a) 见http://dgacm.org/CoC/report_of_the_SG_on_the_pattern_of_conferences_(A-66-118)_Supplementary_information.pdf.", "一. 会议管理", "A． 会议日历", "1. 请求对大会1985年12月18日第40/243号决议第一节第7段的规定作例外处理", "1. 收到下列机关提出的在大会第六十六届会议主要会期期间举行会议的请求：东道国关系委员会、巴勒斯坦人民行使不可剥夺权利委员会、消除种族歧视委员会、裁军审议委员会、联合国促进性别平等和增强妇女权能署(妇女署)执行局、独立审计咨询委员会、国际刑事法院《罗马规约》缔约国大会、联合国可持续发展大会筹备进程第二次闭会期间会议和联合国儿童基金会执行局(见补充资料，第一节)。按照惯例，这些请求将由会议委员会审查，然后由其向大会提出建议。", "2. 2012/2013两年期会议日历草稿", "2. 综合会议管理系统(i-CMS)倡议中包含的会议规划系统(g-Meets)目前正在所有提供会议服务的工作地点(纽约、日内瓦、维也纳和内罗毕)运行。G-Meets包含两个单元,于2010年和2011年启动：⑴ 口译员派任单元(e-APG)，⑵ 会议规划和排期单元(e-Meets)。正在研发通过e-Meets生成全球电子会议日历的能力，作为加强g-Meets的路线图的一部分，可望于2011年年底完成。2012-2013两年期日历草稿是借助e-Meets制作的。", "3. 会议委员会于2011年6月24日审议了经济、社会和有关领域2012和2013年暂定会议日历(E/2011/L.10)，其评论意见已经转交经济及社会理事会，供其2011年实质性会议审议(E/2011/128)。", "4. 会议委员会将在其实质性会议期间审议2012-2013两年期会议日历草稿(将以A/AC/172/2011/L.2印发)，并向大会转交其建议。两年期日历草稿将作为委员会提交给大会的报告附件。", "5. 大会不妨在新的法定任务中载列会议和文件方面的所有相关信息，以便秘书处能够全面评估可能会引起所涉方案预算问题的会议服务需求。2012-2013两年期会议日历草稿列出了尚未确定方式的会议。这些会议方式商定后，秘书处将根据大会议事规则第153条向大会报告。", "3. 2011年闭会期间的更改和有关事项", "6. 会议委员会核准了2011年收到的妇女地位委员会提出的一项请求、非政府组织委员会提出的两项请求，在其届会结束时增加一次会议，以及裁军事项咨询委员会提出的将会议地点从纽约改到日内瓦的请求，并注意到第五委员会请求在其续会第二期会议增加一次会议以完成其工作。", "B. 会议服务资源和设施的利用", "1. 对联合国机关会议统计数据的分析", "7. 从2011年开始，以统一方式使用g-Meets记录在四个工作地点和固定总部以外举行的所有会议的统计数据，从而可以让各工作地点分享有意义的数据比较和分析。过去三年向在纽约、日内瓦、维也纳和内罗毕举行会议的核心抽样机构分配会议资源的利用情况统计数据来自g-Meets，并载于补充资料第二节，表1。该表还列入了在会议开始/审议项目之前提前四周和六周印发会前文件的百分比统计数字，以及按周分列的备妥指数。", "8. 2010年所有四个工作地点的总利用率是85%(2009年为86%)(见补充资料第二节，表2)。纽约的利用率从2009年的84%微降到2010年的81%，原因是取消了16%的会议，而仅有61%的口译员可以重新安排。相比之下，2009年会议的取消率为13%，65%的口译员得到重新安排。有时不可能将口译服务重新安排给其他会议，在最后一刻才作出安排的情况下尤其如此。内罗毕使用率的下降就是因为无法重新安排被取消的唯一一组人员。在纽约所有配备口译的会议中，计划举行的会议数与实际举行的会议数之间的百分比从2009年的96%上升到2010年的97%(见补充资料第二节，表7)。补充资料第二节还载有过去三年利用率(表3)和会议比率(表4)方面的可比统计数据。", "9. 由于每六个月编制一次会议预期时日历所列机构进行积极规划并定期监测计划举行的会议有无工作方案的改变，规划精确系数显著提高(见补充资料第二节，表5)。四个工作地点的总体规划精确系数从2009年的84%提高到2010年的88%，其中纽约从2009年的77%显著提高到2010年的82%(见补充资料第二节，表6)。", "10. 补充资料第二节表7列出了四个工作地点(包括核心抽样机构)所有计划举行和实际举行的会议的数量和百分比数据。", "11. 在纽约，到2010年利用率连续三年低于80%基准的三个政府间机构(见补充资料第二节，表1.A)是：会费委员会、联合国宪章和加强联合国作用特别委员会和统计委员会。如大会所要求，会议委员会主席将与上述机关的主席团和秘书处进行协商，并向会议委员会实质性会议作出口头报告。由于更精确的规划和提早取消以便重新安排，维持和平行动特别委员会及其工作组在2010年将其利用率提高到93%，如上次报告中指出，超过了基准(A/65/122，第12段)。在日内瓦，利用率连续三年低于80%的两个政府间机构是人权理事会咨询委员会和联合国难民事务高级专员方案执行委员会。已经酌情与实务秘书处进行了协商，定期发出监测函以提醒负责组织工作的秘书处注意对会议资源的计划利用和实际利用情况。", "12. 大会不妨敦促政府间机构审查其应享会议资源，根据会议服务资源的实际利用率来规划和调整其工作方案，以便提高其对会议服务的有效利用。", "2. 为有权“视需要”开会的机构举行的会议提供口译服务", "13. 对为纽约有权“视需要”开会的机构提供的口译服务所作的比较分析显示，服务从2009年的95%微降到2010年的94%，原因是各请求方的要求出现冲突，并且有时不可能提前规划，存在最后一刻改变会议安排的情况(见补充资料，第三节)。", "3. 为会员国区域集团和其他主要集团提供口译服务", "14. 统计数据按2010年四个主要工作地点的区域集团和其他主要集团明细分列(见补充资料第四节)。在纽约，由于会员国和会议规划人员改善了规划，2010年有96%的请求得到满足(2009年为87%)。在日内瓦，2010年有80%的请求得到满足(2009年为87%)，下降的原因是日历会议工作量增加(日内瓦的利用率从2009年的88%提高到2010年的91%)。", "15. 联合国维也纳办事处通常不会接到为会员国区域集团和其他主要集团的会议提供口译的请求，但100%满足了不需要口译服务的会议请求。就联合国内罗毕办事处而言，会员国区域集团和其他主要集团在2010年没有要求口译服务，不过该办事处有能力为这些集团提供口译。", "4. 联合国内罗毕办事处会议设施的利用", "16. 2010年，总部设在内罗毕的机构的所有会议均在内罗毕举行，符合“总部开会规则”。", "5. 非洲经济委员会会议中心的利用", "17. 2010年，会议中心举办并提供服务的会议次数为4 777次，利用率为70%(2009年为76%)。利用率下降主要是由于在亚的斯亚贝巴酒店快速增加且最近开放了政府会议厅，为非联合国组织和公司组办会议提供了其他会场选择，还由于经常使用会议中心的客户取消了一些会议。这种更激烈的竞争态势促使委员会采取更加有力和创新的推销策略，以提高其利用率。", "18. 会议中心的推销活动包括参加重要国际会议和展览会，其中包括在德国法兰克福举行的国际奖励旅游、会议和活动展览会和在印度海得拉巴举行的国际大会与会议协会会议。在会议和展览市场这两个全球知名组织的年度出版物和网站上，在“非洲会议”、国际大会与会议协会非洲分会成员联系目录、“国际协会会议”(Association Meetings International)、世界会议中心目录以及埃塞俄比亚航空公司杂志“Selamta”上，也载有会议中心的信息。中心加强了与埃塞俄比亚政府和其他关键利益攸关方的联系，设立了联合推销策略委员会，旨在促进亚的斯亚贝巴和会议中心作为非洲的会议和旅游目的地。", "C. 基本建设总计划执行期间对在总部举行的会议产生的影响", "19. 除日历所列各机构的核心活动外，大会部继续面临为很多额外会议要求提供服务和安排会场的挑战。与基本建设总计划秘书处的不断互动可把对政府间进程的影响降至最低程度。", "20. 安保标准提高和由此产生的加强防爆的必要性意味着，会议楼地下一层的1、2和3会议室要全面更改设计。公众席位已迁往东墙，讲台迁至西墙。会议室不再靠着窗口线，因此，占地面积减少了约2 000平方英尺(186平方米)，但代表座位没有受到影响。预计完成日期改为2012年12月。在基本建设总计划剩余阶段期间，会议室的最新可用情况图见补充资料第五节。", "21. 为了便利灵活的工作安排，大会部向翻译、审校、编辑、各委员会秘书和会议干事提供了约700个移动办公许可证。移动办公提供了一个可靠方式，可让工作人员在远程实时访问大会部的许多信息技术资源，还可在任何时候任何地点工作。", "二. 全球统筹管理", "A. 情况报告", "22. 现在总部以外地点举办的所有会议都要施行邻近规则，就此要召集人员以最低成本为这种会议提供服务，文件则由主办会议机构秘书处所在的总部地点远程翻译。为确保用最具成本效益方式召集人员，对来自不同工作地点和区域委员会的工作人员及自由职业者提供服务的费用加以比较，采用费用最少的安排，同时适当考虑到替换费用、现有能力以及质量保证等问题。这种安排的好处包括为本组织和东道国节约了资金，而且来自不同工作地点的工作人员也有机会熟悉别处的做法，以便可通过推广最佳做法发展服务模式。", "23. 邻近规则只是《会议事务行政政策、做法和程序简编》所载的全球统筹管理的许多方面之一，对该《简编》进行了修订是为了反映自2007年最后一个版本印发以来的事态发展。修订版包括管理事务部和法律事务厅的意见和提供的投入。目前正在编制一个与会议事务有关的关于礼宾和联络事务的政策、做法和程序的新章节，以纳入简编。", "24. 在总部以外地点举行的主要会议和其他会议越来越广泛地推广和采用联合施行的共同工作程序、政策和规则，在发展和更多利用综合会议管理系统方面也取得了稳定进展，这为全球统筹管理的发展奠定了坚实的基础。全球统筹管理还在发展，它不仅是有效分配和利用大会部有形资源的一个手段，而且还是实现和分享无形惠益的一种方式，这些惠益包括知识和专门知识以及吸取的经验教训等，而这又是大会部资源增值并确保这些资源运作的经济性和有效利用的前提。本着这一精神，2011年会议事务管理人员协调会议的重点是适用邻近规则获取的实际经验和教训，以期提出政策建议，并提出改善做法的方式。", "B. 业绩计量", "25. 根据大会2010年12月24日第65/245号决议第三节第15段的要求，秘书处在由常务副秘书长领导的管理委员会的主持下，对四个主要工作地点会议管理效率和问责制机制进行了一次全面审查，以探索有效权力的界限，并在现有任务规定的范围内建立行使此种权力的可接受规则[1] 以及组织结构和改革框架，同时适当顾及主管大会和会议管理事务副秘书长在提高和促进政府间活动整个进程的效益和效率方面向秘书长负责，并负责指导涉及总部和联合国日内瓦、维也纳及内罗毕办事处的全球统筹会议管理，包括针对各工作地点的业务特殊情况确定会议管理政策、做法、标准和程序，以及分配相关预算款次下的资源。秘书长确认在日内瓦、维也纳及内罗毕会议服务方面主管大会和会议管理事务副秘书长和三个办事处主任之间实行问责和负有共同责任的原则。将拟定对关于三个办事处组织安排的秘书长公报的统一修正案，以界定和编撰副秘书长和各办事处主任在会议管理工作方面的双重责任。", "26. 通过深入细致的讨论，四个提供会议服务的工作地点就标准化的主要业绩指标和基本的成本计算方法达成了共识。通过综合会议管理系统的统计数据报告系统(g-Data)，四个工作地点的数据输入将完全保持一致，还要报告比较业绩，以便编制各工作地点历时性、可比较的主要业绩指标的报告，同时提高透明度和问责制。财务报告已在积极使用。到2011年中，所有计划编制的报告都会完成并予以公布。截至本报告编写时，许多已由用户测试并签收。", "27. 2010年的业绩表载于补充资料第六节，该表提供了人力资源、会议管理和文件及时性方面的指标，以及语文事务的生产率衡量标准。", "C. 会员国对会议服务质量的评价", "28. 2009年，大会部在所有工作地点协调开展了会议服务调查，并制订了共同指标。向所有四个工作地点的会员国和观察国宣传和分发了全球电子调查，办法是通过附有该调查链接的电子邮件、主管大会和会议管理事务副秘书长的普通照会，以及在《联合国日刊》和所有相关网站上的通知和链接，并在各工作地点开展推广活动。除了对目前提供的服务进行评价，全球电子调查还试图征求改善服务质量的反馈。书面意见和投诉收集后分发到每一个相关办公室，还吸取经验教训，促进今后调查的成效。2010年5月和11月开展了两次全球电子调查，分别持续了4个星期和5个星期。", "29. 尽管大会部做出了各种努力，但对电子调查的回复率却很低，令人失望。2010年5月电子调查收到了所有工作地点只有137个回复，其中38%认为大会部的服务是“优秀”，5%是“差”。2010年11月电子调查收到了所有工作地点共130个回复，其中40%是“优秀”，5%是“差”。评分差主要是因为难以在会议日历中查找信息。", "30. 2010年4月和10月，纽约大会部与代表团举行了两轮关于语文服务质量的情况交流会；日内瓦会议管理司7月和12月举行了三次情况交流会；维也纳会议管理处4月和7月举行了两次情况交流会；内罗毕会议事务司2月和3月举行了两次情况交流会。除了定期调查会议服务情况外，大会部还维护一个数据库，保存对其服务质量的专门反馈意见。", "三. 与文件和出版物有关的事项", "A. 文件管理", "31. 2011年3月重新推出了综合会议管理系统倡议的文件管理系统(g-Doc)，以便把总部和日内瓦系统的各种功能并入共同的工作流程，从而减少针对各地业务而进行定制的需求。工作计划除其他外还有一个共同的文件提交模块，包括统一排定档期和做出预测，以便政府间机构和编写文件的部门可预先跟踪文件。", "32. 在报告周期期间，在积极主动的文件管理方面取得了进一步进展，所有四个工作地点都在实施排定档期制度，使得某些方面的业绩有所改善，不过在其他方面仍持续存在障碍。例如，2011年头5个月，纽约及时提交已排定档期的会前文件的总体比率达到87%，与2009年的73%和2010年的78%相比有显著改进，还表明90%的执行基准是可以实现的。与此同时，纽约大会部在四周内处理准时提交且符合字数限制的所有文件方面保持了100%的执行率。因此，83%已排定档期的会前文件依照规定时限印发，而2009年为76%，2010年为82%。", "33. 由所有文件编写部门组成的文件问题部际工作队每年举行两次会议，第二季度举行一次，重点是第五委员会的文件，第三季度举行一次，包括两部分：第一部分针对所有提交文件的部门和办事处，而第二部分专门针对第五委员会的文件。会议出席情况一直很好，并采取交互式和面向行动的方式，在会上介绍新的立法规定和业务准则，还交流吸取的经验教训和意见以做出改进。举行工作队会议的做法还引发了其他工作地点的兴趣。此外，大会部高级管理人员密切参与纽约和其他工作地点的排定档期事宜，并与文件编写部门领导和政府间机构负责人经常联系。", "34. 遵守提交文件导则的情况有所改进，这要归功于文件编写部门和大会部的共同努力，大会部做出了有力的积极努力，监测文件编写部门的文件提交日程并采取后续行动，专门针对屡次未能达到90%基准的文件编写部门，尤其是如果政府间机构的工作因文件迟发而受到严重影响时。", "35. 虽然提交文件的总体比率稳步提高，但文件编写部门的表现各不相同：2008年，48个部门中有27个(占56%)在文件提交合规方面达到了90%，2009年，这一数字下降到51个部门中的23个(占45%)，2010年，又稍微增加至48个部门中的25个(占52%)。因此，大会部将通过使用大会规定的“脚注条款”等办法更严格地执行文档排期制度。", "36. 在日内瓦会议管理司，在线规划模块于2010年全面展开。所有编写文件的实体使用该系统提交了他们对2011年7月至2012年1月这一周期的预测。人权高专办有史以来首次提交了对人权理事会所有文件以及各条约机构文件的预测，尽管后者的可预测性仍低得多，因为主要是依赖会员国提交文件。会议管理司仍将与各条约机构秘书处举行讨论，以便对其职权范围内的那些文件排定档期。需要指出的是，尽管照顾到人权理事会的特殊性，使之具有很大的灵活性，依照议程项目的审议日期将提交日期错开，但达标率仍远远低于90%的基准。欧洲经济委员会和联合国贸易和发展会议有相继重叠的短会和大量的文件，对这一工作量的唯一应对办法仍是严格遵守10周规则。", "37. 维也纳会议管理处自2003年开始实行文件排期制度，2005年该制度纳入文件、会议和生产管理系统电子工作流程。2010年，联合国维也纳办事处排定档期的会议文件高于前一年，这些文件载入用户秘书处每年两次提交并定期更新的电子预报中。该处同各秘书处以及各理事机构主席团进行对话，以便在因相关政府间机构的动态而需要灵活安排时，商定备选时限，特别是对于那些不适用10周时限的设在维也纳的各机构的文件。", "38. 联合国内罗毕办事处把文件排期制度用于所有客户。然而，经常预算客户只占其文件总量的30%，而预算外客户的执行率非常低，对他们来说，10周规则可能只适用于少数特定文件。大多数情况下，办事处要根据理事机构的特殊要求设法另外提出排期日程。", "39. 文件领域的重大举措之一是对安理会的会前文件排定档期。大会部和安理会秘书处商定了构想框架，并与文件编写部门一起共同制定文件排期模板，并开始协商文件的提交日期和长度。目前，只有直接提交给安理会的报告排定了档期，而提交给各制裁委员会和专家小组的报告由于其性质复杂，将在下一阶段协商予以处理。", "40. 在全球文件管理方面，共同分担工作量实际上仍有临时性，数量上微不足道，占全球工作量的不到1%。主要原因是几乎没有什么剩余能力，所有四个工作地点都预测，与预计的工作流入相比，全年会有很大的能力短缺，因此，没有转移工作量的空间。例如，联合国日内瓦办事处的现有能力已短缺了若干年，而其积压的翻译量持续增长。", "41. 主要通过积极主动的事先干预实施文件的特准管理。积极主动的文件特准管理发生在文件排定档期阶段，大会部借以限制已排定档期的文件的长度，同时考虑到文件编写部门提供的理由和类似的经常性报告的过去模式。这种做法经常有显著效果。2010年，通过与纽约文件编写部门的互动，文稿减少了421 145字(约1 300页)。", "42. 秘书处用联合国六种正式语文公布一些制裁名单，例如，与索马里/厄立特里亚和苏丹相关的制裁制度的情况即是如此。自会议委员会上次实质性会议以来，用六种正式语文提供了监测对刚果民主共和国制裁的委员会的综合名单，预计不久的将来将提供利比里亚和科特迪瓦制裁委员会的综合名单。", "43. 此外，有关委员会已决定在其网站上用六种正式语文公开基地组织和塔利班名单上所有实体的列名理由简述。核准的这种简述共483个，因此，用六种正式语文为此特定目的制作了近3 000个单独页面。", "B. 处理安排", "44. 大会在其1991年12月20日第46/190号决议第24段中促请秘书长采取必要措施，确保会议的会前文件不迟于会前6个星期分发 ，并在1992年12月22日第47/202 B号决议第8段中敦促秘书处各实务部门遵守规则，要在会议开始前至少十个星期向会议事务厅提出会前文件，以便及时以所有正式语文加以处理。因此，大会有效地排定四个星期处理在字数限制范围内提交内的文件。", "45. 由于时间紧迫，文稿往往是同时在三个方面予以处理：(a) 编辑原稿；(b) 为所有目标语文提供参考；(c) 翻译成所有目标语文。并行处理虽然通常是不可避免的，但效率低下且费时。", "46. 充分利用顺序工作流程是有效工作流程自动化的一个先决条件，在顺序工作流程中，对文稿进行编辑、格式化并定稿，然后提交翻译，而工作流程自动化又会提高质量，加快某些处理阶段，并降低某些文件的整个处理时间。", "47. 把工作流程从并行处理改为线性处理以及重新设计工作流程以增加每个处理阶段的自动化可实现成本效益。如下文D节讨论所述，正在重新设计逐字记录的工作流程。相关问题是加强顺序处理，要做到这一点，可以加强上游阶段的能力或调整目前的模式，给大会部6个星期的处理时间，而不是目前的4个星期的处理时间。鉴于完稿后以电子形式提供的所有正式语文的文件在时间上大大提前，也许不再需要六周审查期。", "48. 大会不妨把文件处理规则改为10-6-4的时限，据此，文稿在审议前10周提交给大会部，在审议前4周予以印发。这一变动将确保审议前很长时间就可提供文件，还将提高效率和提高文件的质量。", "Ｃ. 印刷会议文件与能力利用", "49. 过去几年，大会部大大减少了会议文件打印的页数，减幅为41%(纽约为50%)，尽管该部处理的文件数和文稿页数都有所增加，在所有工作地点，与2008年相比，文件数和页数分别增加了6%和11%(纽约为7%和17%)。举例说明，2009年5月，印页是4 300万，2010年5月是1 800万，2011年5月是530万，共减少80%。作为鼓励以其他方式分发会议文件的战略的一部分，大会部采用了各种电子工具，使用户能够网上获取文件。现在纽约的打印文本平均数与其他工作地点的平均数趋同。", "50. 随着具有成本效益和环境友好的替代方法不断出现并广为使用，印页下降趋势预计将继续。会议室文件柜空间缩小，北草坪会议大楼中缺少文件存储空间，迫使秘书处减少楼内文件分发，更多依赖电子分发。随着代表们和秘书处得到更多无纸化会议的经验，这种会议模式应大力鼓励。", "D. 重新设计逐字记录的印制流程", "51. 纽约的会议和出版司为编制安理会议事录，一直致力于开发一个完全数字化的工作流程，从内容创作(逐字记录)到多种数字形式(PDF，e-PUB等)的修订和设计/格式化和产出，处理整个过程。工作流程采用许多工具，以简化程序(参考和数字翻译工具、格式模板和用于提高效率的脚本和宏命令)。工作流程还允许利用全球资源：2011年年中，测试了连接纽约和内罗毕两工作地点，以分享工作流程的情况。", "四. 笔译和口译事项", "52. 需要采取有力措施，避免语言部门申请人短缺，妨碍工作，特别是考虑到语文工作人员预计在未来几年内将大量退休。如果计入2010至2016年期间预计退休情况，口译员总的退休比例将是43%，笔译员将是40%。从绝对数字看，这意味着将要通过竞争性考试新征聘119名口译员，217名笔译员。", "53. 联合国内罗毕办事处会议事务司尽管做出多方面努力，并与其他工作地点合作，填补空缺，但在吸引和留住合格语文工作人员方面仍然面临挑战。2012/2013年预算提议6位审校和5位口译从P-4晋升为P-5，这是解决吸引和留住合格工作人员问题的关键。", "54. 大会部与人力资源管理厅密切合作，全面审查了语文竞争性考试过程。一个由大会部和人事厅代表组成的专家小组正在考虑与语言考试和名册管理相关的一系列政策问题。启动了一个在线名册管理模块，让计划管理人员可以查询分享名册上等候任用招聘的候选人的情况。大会部正在考虑若干提议，扩大合格申请人范围，简化进程，精简考试形式和内容并使之标准化，同时又不降低其高标准。", "55. 更多依赖自由职业口译员，以解燃眉之急，这个办法不能令人满意。所有工作地点在不同程度上都面临挑战，难以在需要时马上找到自由职业口译员，对自由职业口译员的全球竞争十分激烈，而且自由职业口译员在联合国临时聘用的条件不如其他机构。四个工作地点一致认为，需要增加内部能力，扩大地方自由职业口译员(纽约和内罗毕)人才库。大会部目前正在联合国系统行政首长协调理事会框架内主导与国际会议口译员协会的谈判，解决竞争力不高问题，尤其是在北美。纽约和日内瓦还认为，避免各自工作方案中同时出现高峰，将促成更多的工作人员交流，从而进一步减少对紧急招聘的需求。", "56. 培训和外联，是大会部长期接班规划的基石。该部通过提供培训机会确保充实和补充部内工作人员的实质性和技术性知识和技能，保持并发展日常工作所需的专门才能。大会部谋求通过外联活动直接与培训机构合作，吸引新人才，并通过语言外联门户确保了解其需求和要求。", "57. 高校外联计划旨在解决合格候选人缺乏问题，满足日益增加的语言服务需求。与联合国签署培训谅解备忘录的培训机构网络不断扩大，目前包括19所大学，涵盖联合国六种正式语文，遍及所有主要地区，拉丁美洲和加勒比地区除外。拉丁美洲两所大学的申请目前正在审议，大会部与这两所大学的非正式合作正在开展，已经请两所大学提名语言实习方案的候选人。", "58. 大会部继续通过语言实习计划与培训机构合作。实习方案被证明是一种识别、吸引和培养青年专业人才，指导他们走上联合国语言职业道路的有效方式。2011年，一次语言实习空缺公告吸引了600多名申请人，其中有65人到四个工作地点实习，实习岗位包括所有6种正式语文和所有与语言相关的职业(纽约27人，日内瓦29人，维也纳7人，内罗毕2人)。2010年，共有61名实习生实习。(纽约36人，日内瓦14人，维也纳9人，内罗毕2人)。该方案若干毕业生通过了口译和笔译语言竞争考试，已征聘为语文部门工作人员。该方案还协助提供辅助性资源，用于从事临时聘用和(或)合同翻译工作的合格的语文专业人才。", "59. 签署谅解备忘录的大学于2011年5月在西班牙萨拉曼卡大学举行第一次会议。这些大学、联合国系统和欧洲各机构的代表举行了富有成果的讨论，商定了一套具体行动，加强各方之间的合作，以共同解决有关语言专业人才培训问题。会议将每年举行一次。下届会议将于2012年由比利时蒙斯大学主办，预计将使签署谅解备忘录的大学网络结构正规化，并确定其运作方式。", "60. 在本报告期内，大会部继续开展计划中的培训活动，重点是笔译和口译技能。对每个受益单位有效利用资金的情况予以经常监测。2011年分配给培训活动的资源水平大致相当于2010年，因资金短缺，许多培训申请被驳回。", "61. 培训实习方案是另一个扩大具备特定语文组合技能的合格语文专业人才库的模式，因为这种组合技能存在问题，而对语文专业人才接班规划又十分关键。2009年，纽约进行了一项试行方案，由考试委员会选定四名候选人在英文箱接受口译培训。这四名学员都通过了口译竞争性考试。", "62. 维也纳会议管理处继续进行其基于预聘合同订约的语文培训实习方案。接受实习的语文部门给实习生生产定额，实习生则从经验丰富的语言专业人士的辅导和反馈中受益。2010年，该处有9名实习生，大多在翻译部门，预计2011年有5人。维也纳口译科为选定的学员举办短期口译培训，2010年115人受训，2011年134人受训。", "63. 大会部正考虑一些备选方案，根据大会第65/245号决议的要求，正式确定一项培训实习方案，并加强语言实习方案。管理实习方案的全部责任最近已从人事厅转到接受部门，这将使大会部精简Inspira上公布实习通告，更灵活地安排实习，避免与工作高峰期发生重叠。", "64. 大会部的接班规划工作因预算资源不足受到阻碍，并在很大程度上依赖具有奉献精神的语言工作人员的自愿努力，例如在工作人员探亲假期间进行支援性教学。培训和外联上花费的时间占用了正常工作时间，需要有替补工作人员。尽管该方案取得了各种成就，并有许多积极方面，但在以下方面接近了极限：网络中包括的培训机构数；工作人员在没有任何资金支持的情况下开展的支援性教学活动的数量和规模；在接受实习的语文部门得到实质培训的实习生人数。联合检查组在即将提交的关于向大学开展外联方案的报告中突出表明，需要充分资金，支持积极的接班规划工作，报告建议联合国系统各组织的立法机构确保组织内分配必要的资源，实现有效的接班规划，对语文考试考生进行有针对性的培训。", "65. 人力和财政资源必须到位，以加强外联和培训力度，扩大培训实习方案并使之主流化，这将加强大会部的接班规划工作，加强与培训机构合作伙伴的合作，加强工作人员受聘后的培训。一些会员国也愿意支助特定语文的培训活动。初步征求了阿拉伯国家联盟成员的意见，以确定其是否愿意设立基金，或其他安排，资助大会部阿拉伯语笔译和口译的培训。", "66. 效率、质量、及时性和成本效益，这些要求经常相互竞争，仍然是文件处理决定的主要因素。最高优先考虑是质量，但鉴于目前的工作量和人数，这种做法是不可持续的。按照大会的规定(最近的是大会第65/245决议)与会员国举行情况交流会，但出席人数仍然很少。", "67. 大会部充分利用承包翻译。承包翻译的比例不断增加，为此调配了资金，以适应预期需求。但是，在可以承包翻译的工作数量和类型方面，仍有问题。个人承包者不一定随时可以得到；机构承包者虽然能够接受大量工作，但不能始终如一地提供质量足够高的产品。", "68. 高度重视质量控制，确保外包翻译的高标准。联合国日内瓦和维也纳办事处任命了一名高级审校和(或)协调人控制质量。在所有工作地点，承包人都收到内部审校的反馈，在某些情况下，每份翻译都得到反馈。根据内部工作人员对收到的承包翻译工作提供的投入，不断更新大会部笔译承包管理系统内的全球笔译员和审校名册。", "69. 增强外包工作质量控制的努力，因工作人员不能全职负责质量控制，出现缺口，而受到影响。工作量增加，能力缩减，而工作人员又必须履行包括审校在内的其他职能。", "70. 由于文件处理领域的技术进步，而且需要重新设计这方面的工作流程，大会部正在探讨计算机辅助翻译工具、术语数据库、翻译记忆库和机器翻译等工具。转向新技术工具，将提高数量和质量，如果现在提供必要的投资，采购和测试可用的工具，确保培训，让所有工作人员都能精通这些工具。", "71. 秘书长2004年关于大会部的改革的报告(A/59/172)和2005年关于会议时地分配办法的报告(A/60/93)提出了对简要记录的提供方法另做选择问题。随后大会2006年5月8日第60/236 B号决议请秘书长进一步仔细研究这些提议。大会不妨批准继续只以原文(英文或法文)生产简要记录，辅之以按需提供、数字化、限制分发等办法，满足成员国的需要。", "72. 条约机构的文件包括由秘书处和政府间机构提交的有字数限制的文件和由会员国提交的目前不受字数限制的文件。2010年，后一种文件增加了42%，达到170份，其中最长的一份超过了87 000字(约274页)。条约机构的所有文件都要遵守字数限制，这一点至关重要，对所有有关方面的工作负担将会产生积极影响。继人权条约机构主席就此所作决定(见A/65/190，附件二，第22段)之后，大会不妨进一步加强这一拟议的行动方案。", "[1] 2001年年初，大会认识到有必要调整大会部与联合国日内瓦、维也纳及内罗毕办事处会议管理部门的关系。大会第56/253号决议第81段请秘书长确保本组织所有工作地点的会议服务以统筹方式加以管理，并在第56/242号决议第二节第3段中要求将大会部视为负责监督、协调和加强联合国会议服务总体管理和实施的执行机构。2003年，大会要求在四个提供会议服务的工作地点之间明确界定和划分管理事项方面的责任(第57/283 B号决议,第二节B,第7和第8段)。2009年，大会强调各方案主管和通过方案预算第2款提供经费的各工作地点须有成本效益和效率，尤其是加强会议服务全球管理的有效运作，并请秘书长制订旨在加强这方面问责制的各种机制(第64/243号决议，第67段)。这一要求在2010年又予以重申(第65/245号决议，第三节，第15段)。" ]

Calendar of conferences and meetings", "1. Requests for exceptions to section I, paragraph 7, of General Assembly resolution 40/243 of 18 December 1985", "1. Requests to meet during the main part of the sixty-sixth session of the General Assembly have been received from the Committee on Relations with the Host Country, the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Disarmament Commission, the Executive Board of the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, the Independent Audit Advisory Committee, the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, the second intersessional meeting of the preparatory process for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development and the Executive Board of the United Nations Children’s Fund (see supplementary information, sect. I). In accordance with established practice, the requests will be reviewed by the Committee on Conferences for recommendation to the General Assembly.", "2. Draft biennial calendar of conferences and meetings for 2012-2013", "2. The meetings planning system (g-Meets) of the integrated conference management system (i-CMS) initiative is currently in production in all conference-servicing duty stations (New York, Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi). G-Meets comprises two modules, launched in 2010 and 2011: (a) an assignment module for interpreters (e-APG) and (b) a meetings planning and scheduling module (e-Meets). The capability of generating a global electronic calendar of conferences and meetings through e-Meets is being developed as part of a road map of enhancements to g-Meets, which is expected by the end of 2011. The draft biennial calendar for 2012-2013 was prepared with the assistance of e-Meets.", "3. The provisional calendar of conferences and meetings in the economic, social and related fields for 2012 and 2013 (E/2011/L.10) was reviewed by the Committee on Conferences on 24 June 2011 and its comments have been transmitted to the Economic and Social Council for consideration at its 2011 substantive session (E/2011/128).", "4. During its substantive session, the Committee on Conferences will review the draft biennial calendar of conferences and meetings for 2012-2013 (to be issued as A/AC.172/2011/L.2) and transmit its recommendations to the General Assembly. The draft biennial calendar will appear as an annex to the Committee’s report to the Assembly.", "5. The General Assembly may wish to include in new legislative mandates all relevant information in respect of meetings and documentation in order to enable the Secretariat to fully assess the conference-servicing needs, which could have programme budget implications. Meetings for which no modalities have been determined are listed in the draft biennial calendar of conferences and meetings for 2012-2013. The Secretariat will report to the Assembly in accordance with rule 153 of its rules of procedure when the modalities of those meetings have been agreed upon.", "3. Intersessional departures for 2011 and related matters", "6. The Committee on Conferences approved a request received in 2011 from the Commission on the Status of Women and two requests from the Committee on Non‑Governmental Organizations to hold an additional meeting at the conclusion of their sessions, and from the Advisory Board on Disarmament Matters for a change of venue from New York to Geneva. The Committee noted that the Fifth Committee would require an additional meeting to complete its work at the second resumed session.", "B. Utilization of conference-servicing resources and facilities", "1. Analysis of meeting statistics of United Nations organs", "7. Starting in 2011, g-Meets is being used to record statistical data on all meetings held at the four duty stations and away from established headquarters in a harmonized manner so that meaningful data comparison and analysis are possible across duty stations. Statistical data for the past three years on the utilization of conference resources allocated to a core sample of bodies that met in New York, Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi were collected from g-Meets and is contained in table 1, section II of the supplementary information. The table also includes statistics on the percentage of pre-session documentation issued four and six weeks before the beginning of the session/consideration of the item and the availability index by week.", "8. The overall utilization factor for all four duty stations in 2010 was 85 per cent (86 per cent in 2009) (see supplementary information, sect. II, table 2). For New York, the slight decrease to 81 per cent in 2010 from 84 per cent in 2009 is the result of the cancellation of 16 per cent of meetings and the ability to reassign only 61 per cent of the interpretation teams. Comparatively, in 2009, 13 per cent of meetings were cancelled, for which 65 per cent of interpretation teams were reassigned. It is not always possible to reassign interpretation services to other meetings, especially when arrangements are made at the last minute. In the case of Nairobi, the drop in the utilization factor is attributed to the inability to reassign the only cancelled team. The percentage of meetings programmed versus meetings held for all meetings with interpretation in New York increased from 96 per cent in 2009 to 97 per cent in 2010 (see supplementary information, sect. II, table 7). Section II of the supplementary information contains comparative statistical data for the past three years on the utilization factor (table 3) and meeting ratio (table 4).", "9. Proactive planning by calendar bodies when preparing the semi-annual projections of meetings, together with periodic monitoring of planned meetings for any changes to the programmes of work, has led to a significant increase in the planning accuracy factor (see supplementary information, sect. II, table 5). The overall planning accuracy factor at the four duty stations increased to 88 per cent in 2010 from 84 per cent in 2009, with New York recording a significant increase, to 82 per cent in 2010 from 77 per cent in 2009 (see supplementary information, sect. II, table 6).", "10. Data on the number and percentage of all meetings programmed and held at the four duty stations (including the core sample) are shown in section II, table 7, of the supplementary information.", "11. In New York in 2010, three intergovernmental bodies had a utilization factor of less than the benchmark of 80 per cent for three consecutive years (see supplementary information, sect. II, table 1.A): the Committee on Contributions, the Special Committee on the Charter of the United Nations and on the Strengthening of the Role of the Organization and the Statistical Commission. As requested by the General Assembly, the Chair of the Committee on Conferences will hold consultations with the bureaux and secretariats of those bodies and will report orally thereon to the Committee at its substantive session. It is noted that as a result of more accurate planning and early cancellations, which allow for reassignments, the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations and its Working Group improved their utilization factor to 93 per cent in 2010, above the benchmark noted in the previous report (A/65/122, para. 12). In Geneva two intergovernmental bodies had a utilization factor of less than 80 per cent for three consecutive years: the Human Rights Council Advisory Committee and the Executive Committee of the Programme of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Consultations with the substantive secretariats are held as necessary, and monitoring letters are sent on a regular basis to draw the attention of the organizing secretariats to the planned and actual utilization of conference resources.", "12. The General Assembly may wish to reiterate its request to intergovernmental bodies to review their meeting entitlements and to plan and adjust their programmes of work on the basis of their actual utilization of conference-servicing resources in order to improve their efficiency in using conference services.", "2. Provision of interpretation services to the meetings of bodies entitled to meet “as required”", "13. A comparative analysis of the provision of interpretation services to meetings of bodies entitled to meet “as required” in New York shows a slight decrease, from 95 per cent in 2009 to 94 per cent in 2010, which is due to the conflicting demands of requestors and last-minute changes in the meetings programme in cases where advance planning is not possible (see supplementary information, sect. III).", "3. Provision of interpretation services to meetings of regional and other major groupings of Member States", "14. The statistical data are broken down by regional and other major groupings at the four main duty stations for 2010 (see supplementary information, sect. IV). In New York, 96 per cent of the requests were met in 2010 (87 per cent in 2009) owing to improved planning on the part of Member States and the meeting planners. In Geneva, 80 per cent of the requests were met in 2010 (87 per cent in 2009), with the reduction resulting from the increase in the calendar meeting workload (the utilization factor for Geneva rose from 88 per cent in 2009 to 91 per cent in 2010).", "15. The United Nations Office at Vienna does not normally receive requests to provide interpretation to meetings of regional and other major groupings of Member States, and did accommodate 100 per cent of requests for meetings without interpretation services. At the United Nations Office at Nairobi, the regional and other major groupings of Member States did not request interpretation in 2010, although the Office has the capacity to provide such groups with interpretation.", "4. Utilization of conference facilities at the United Nations Office at Nairobi", "16. In 2010, all meetings of Nairobi-based bodies were held in Nairobi, in conformity with the headquarters rule.", "5. Utilization of the conference centre at the Economic Commission for Africa", "17. In 2010, the conference centre hosted and serviced 4,777 meetings, which represents a utilization rate of 70 per cent (76 per cent in 2009). The decrease is due mainly to the fast-growing number of hotels and government conference halls recently opened in Addis Ababa, which provided non-United Nations organizations and corporations with alternative venues at which to hold their meetings, as well as the cancellation of meetings by regular users of the conference centre. This more competitive situation has led the Commission to embark on a more robust and innovative marketing strategy to increase its occupancy rate.", "18. The marketing activities of the centre included participation in high-profile international conventions and exhibitions, including the worldwide exhibition for incentive travel, meetings and events, held in Frankfurt, Germany, and the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), held in Hyderabad, India. The centre was featured in the annual publications and websites of these two well-known global organizations in the conference and exhibitions market, as well as in “Meet in Africa”, the member contact directory of the ICCA Africa chapter, Association Meetings International, the Worldwide Convention Centres Directory and the Ethiopian Airlines magazine Selamta. The centre has strengthened its ties with the Government of Ethiopia and other key stakeholders through the creation of a joint marketing strategy committee, which aims at promoting both Addis Ababa and the centre as a conference and tourism destination in Africa.", "C. Impact on meetings held at Headquarters during the implementation of the capital master plan", "19. The Department continues to face challenges in servicing and accommodating the many ad hoc requests in excess of the core activities of calendar bodies. Constant interaction with the secretariat of the capital master plan minimizes disruptions to the intergovernmental process.", "20. The higher security standards and the resulting need for better blast protection have meant that conference rooms 1, 2 and 3 on the 1B level of the Conference Building will undergo an extensive design change. The gallery seating has been relocated to the east wall and the podium to the west wall. The rooms are no longer at the window line and therefore are smaller in footprint by some 2,000 square feet (186 square metres), but the delegate seating capacity has not been affected. Consequently, the projected date of completion has been revised to December 2012. An updated chart showing the availability of conference rooms during the remaining phases of the capital master plan is contained in section V of the supplementary information", "21. To facilitate flexible working arrangements, the Department has provided some 700 Mobile Office licences to translators, revisers, editors, Secretaries of committees and conference officers. Mobile Office provides a secure way of gaining remote access in real time to many of the Department’s information technology resources and allows staff to work from anywhere at any time.", "II. Integrated global management", "A. Status report", "22. Under the proximity rule, now formalized for all meetings away from headquarters, a team that involves the least cost for servicing such meetings is assembled, and the documents are translated remotely in the headquarters location where the secretariat of the body organizing the meeting is located. To ensure the assembly of the most cost-effective team, the costs of using staff from different duty stations, including regional commissions, and freelancers are compared and the least costly arrangement is used, with replacement costs, available capacity and quality assurance duly considered. The benefits of this arrangement include financial savings for both the Organization and host countries, and it offers opportunities for staff from different duty stations to familiarize themselves with practices elsewhere so that the service mode can evolve through the promotion of best practices.", "23. The proximity rule is but one of many facets of integrated global management contained in the Compendium of Administrative Policies, Practices and Procedures of Conference Services, which was amended to reflect developments since its latest revision, in 2007. The revised version includes comments and input from the Department of Management and the Office of Legal Affairs. A new section on the policies, practices and procedures of the Protocol and Liaison Service relevant to conference services is being prepared for inclusion in the Compendium.", "24. The widening spread and acceptance of jointly practised common work procedures, policies and rules for major conferences and meetings away from headquarters, together with steady progress in the development and increased utilization of the integrated conference management system, is laying a solid foundation for the evolution of integrated global management. It is not only a means for the efficient allocation and utilization of the Department’s tangible resources, but also a means for the realization and sharing of intangible benefits, including knowledge and expertise and lessons learned, which is a prerequisite for adding value and ensuring economy of operation and the efficient use of the Department’s resources. In this vein, the 2011 coordination meeting of conference services managers focused on actual experiences and lessons learned from the application of the proximity rule, with a view to arriving at recommendations for policies and suggesting ways for improving practices.", "25. In response to the request of the General Assembly in section III, paragraph 15, of its resolution 65/245 of 24 December 2010, the Secretariat has undertaken a comprehensive review of conference management efficiency and accountability mechanisms across the four main duty stations under the auspices of its Management Committee, chaired by the Deputy Secretary-General, with a view to exploring the boundaries of meaningful authority and establishing acceptable protocols for exercising such authority within existing mandates[1] and organizational structures and the reform framework, with due regard for the accountability of the Under-Secretary-General for General Assembly and Conference Management to the Secretary-General for enhancing and facilitating the effectiveness and efficiency of the total process of intergovernmental activities and his responsibility for guiding integrated global conference management involving Headquarters and the United Nations Offices at Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi, including the establishment of conference management policies, practices, standards and procedures and the allocation of resources under the relevant budget section, vis-à-vis the operational specificities of the duty stations. The Secretary-General confirms the principle of accountability and shared responsibility for conference services at Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi between the Under-Secretary-General for General Assembly and Conference Management and the three Directors-General. Harmonized amendments of the Secretary-General’s bulletins on the organization of the three Offices will be developed to delineate and codify the dual responsibility for the conference management operations of the Under-Secretary-General and the respective Directors-General.", "B. Performance measurement", "26. The four conference-servicing duty stations have, through intensive discussions, reached consensus on standardized key performance indicators and basic costing methodology. Data entry at the four duty stations through the statistical data reporting system of i-CMS (g-Data) will be fully aligned and the comparative performance reported, with a view to producing reports on key performance indicators that are comparable both over time and across duty stations, enhancing transparency and accountability. The financial reports are already being used actively. By mid-2011, all planned reports will have been developed and posted. At the time of preparation of the present report, many had already been tested and signed off on by the users.", "27. The performance matrix for 2010, which provides indicators for human resources, meetings management and the timeliness of documentation, as well as productivity measures for the language services, is contained in section VI of the supplementary information.", "C. Evaluation by Member States of the quality of conference services", "28. In 2009, the survey of conference services was harmonized across the duty stations, and common indicators were established. The global e-survey was promoted and distributed to Member and observer States at the four duty stations by means of an e-mail message with a link to the survey, a note verbale by the Under-Secretary-General for General Assembly and Conference Management, announcements and links in the Journal of the United Nations and all relevant websites and promotional activities at each duty station. Besides indicating the ratings of services currently provided, the global e-survey also seeks to elicit feedback on improving the quality of the services. Written comments and complaints are collected and distributed to each responsible office, and lessons learned are drawn for the effectiveness of future surveys. In 2010, the global e‑survey was carried out twice, in May and November, during a period of four weeks and five weeks, respectively.", "29. Despite the Department’s various efforts, the response rate for the e-survey was disappointingly low. Only 137 responses were received at all the duty stations for the May 2010 e-survey, of which 38 per cent rated the Department’s services as “excellent” and 5 per cent as “poor”. A total of 130 responses were received at all the duty stations for the November 2010 e-survey (40 per cent “excellent” and 5 per cent “poor”). Poor ratings were due mainly to difficulties experienced in finding information in the calendar of meetings.", "30. In 2010, the Department in New York held two rounds of informational meetings with delegations on the quality of language services, in April and October; the Division of Conference Management in Geneva conducted three informational meetings, in July and December; the Conference Management Service in Vienna conducted two informational meetings, in April and July; and the Division of Conference Services in Nairobi held two informational meetings, in February and March. In addition to the regular survey on conference services, the Department maintains a database to capture ad hoc feedback on the quality of its services.", "III. Matters related to documentation and publications", "A. Documents management", "31. The document management system (g-Doc) of the i-CMS initiative was relaunched in March 2011 with a view to integrating features of the systems at Headquarters and in Geneva in common work processes, thereby reducing the need for local customization. The workplan contains, among other things, a common document submission module that includes harmonized slotting and forecasting to allow for advance tracking of documents by intergovernmental bodies and author departments alike.", "32. During the reporting cycle, further progress was made in the area of proactive document management, with the slotting system being implemented at all four duty stations. This led to improved performance in some areas, while impediments persisted in others. In New York, for example, the overall rate of timely submission of slotted pre-session documents for the first five months of 2011 reached 87 per cent, showing marked improvement over the levels of 2009 (73 per cent) and 2010 (78 per cent), and demonstrating that the 90 per cent compliance benchmark is achievable. At the same time, the Department in New York maintained 100 per cent processing compliance: all documents submitted on time and within the word limit were processed within four weeks. Consequently, 83 per cent of slotted pre-session documents were issued within the mandated time frame, compared with 76 per cent in 2009 and 82 per cent in 2010.", "33. The interdepartmental task force on documentation, comprising all author departments, has been meeting twice yearly, once in the second quarter, focusing on documentation for the Fifth Committee, and again in the third quarter, in two segments: the first targeting all submitting departments and offices and the second dealing specifically with documentation for the Fifth Committee. In the meetings, which have always been well attended and conducted in an interactive and action-oriented manner, participants are briefed on new legislative mandates and operational guidelines, and lessons learned and ideas for improvement are exchanged. The practice of holding task force meetings has generated interest at other duty stations as well. In addition, the senior managers of the Department were closely involved in the slotting exercise, both in New York and at the other duty stations, and interacted frequently with the heads of author departments and presiding officers of intergovernmental bodies.", "34. The improved compliance with submission guidelines is attributable to the joint efforts of author departments and the Department, with the latter having made dynamic and robust efforts to monitor and follow up with author departments on their submission schedules, targeting author departments that repeatedly failed to meet the 90 per cent benchmark, especially in those cases where the work of intergovernmental bodies was seriously affected by the late issuance of documents.", "35. While the overall submission rate has improved steadily, performance varies among author departments: in 2008, 27 departments out of 48 (56 per cent) reached a compliance rate of 90 per cent; in 2009 that figure dropped to 23 out of 51 (45 per cent), and in 2010, it increased slightly, to 25 out of 48 (52 per cent). Therefore, the Department will enforce more rigorously the slotting system, including through the use of the “footnote clause” as mandated by the General Assembly.", "36. At the Division of Conference Management in Geneva, the online planning module was fully deployed in 2010. For the cycle covering July 2011 to January 2012, all author entities have submitted their forecasts using the system. For the first time ever, OHCHR submitted a forecast for all Human Rights Council documentation, as well as that of the treaty bodies, although the latter remains much less predictable, as it is based mainly on submissions from Member States. Still, the Division of Conference Management will hold discussions with the treaty body secretariats with a view to slotting those documents that are within their purview. It needs to be pointed out that, despite the considerable flexibility exercised in recognition of the specificities of the Human Rights Council, namely the staggering of submission dates in accordance with the schedule of consideration of agenda items, the compliance rate has remained well below the 90 per cent benchmark. For the Economic Commission for Europe and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, which have successive overlapping short meetings and large amounts of documentation, the only way to deal with their workload continues to be strict adherence to the 10-week rule.", "37. The Conference Management Service in Vienna has been implementing the slotting system since 2003, and in 2005 the system was incorporated into the electronic workflow in the Documents, Conference and Production Management System. The total number of parliamentary documents slotted at the United Nations Office at Vienna for 2010 was higher than in the previous year, and those documents were included in the electronic forecast submitted by the client secretariats twice a year and updated regularly. The Service has been engaging in dialogue with the secretariats and the bureaux of the governing bodies in order to reach agreements on alternative time frames when, owing to the dynamics of the intergovernmental bodies concerned, flexibility is required, in particular for documents of Vienna-based bodies that do not lend themselves to the 10-week time frame.", "38. The United Nations Office at Nairobi has applied the slotting system to all of its clients. However, regular budget clients account for only 30 per cent of its total volume of documents, while the level of compliance has been very low among extrabudgetary clients, for whom the 10-week rule may be applicable to a small number of specific documents only. In most of those cases, the Office managed to suggest alternative slotting schedules based on the ad hoc requirements of the governing bodies.", "39. One of the major initiatives in the documentation area is the slotting of pre‑session documents for the Security Council. The Department and the Council secretariat have agreed on the conceptual framework and have worked with author departments to develop a slotting template and to start negotiations on the dates of submission and the length of documents. At present, only reports submitted directly to the Council are slotted; because of their complex nature, reports submitted to sanctions committees and panels of experts will be dealt with in the next phase of negotiations.", "40. Workload-sharing in the context of global document management remains ad hoc in practice and negligible in amount, accounting for less than 1 per cent of the global workload. The main reason is that there is little surplus capacity, given that all four duty stations forecast substantial capacity shortfalls throughout the year compared with expected work inflow, leaving no room to shift workload. Capacity at the United Nations Office at Geneva, for example, has been inadequate for a number of years, and its translation backlog continues to grow.", "41. Waiver management is conducted mainly through proactive advance intervention. Proactive waiver management takes place at the slotting stage, whereby the Department seeks to contain the length of slotted documents while taking into account justification provided by author departments and historical patterns of similar or recurrent reports. This exercise has consistently produced significant results. In 2010, the number of words in manuscripts was reduced by 421,145 words (about 1,300 pages) through interaction with author departments in New York.", "42. The Secretariat has published versions of some sanctions lists in the six official languages of the United Nations, for example in the cases of the sanctions regimes in connection with Somalia/Eritrea and the Sudan. Since the previous substantive session of the Committee on Conferences, the consolidated list of the committee monitoring the sanctions on the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been made available in the six official languages, and the consolidated lists for the Liberia and Côte d’Ivoire sanctions committees are expected to follow suit in the near future.", "43. Furthermore, the relevant committees have decided to make publicly accessible on their websites, in the six official languages, narrative summaries of reasons for the listing of all entries on the Al-Qaida and Taliban lists. In total, 483 such summaries have been approved, leading to the creation of nearly 3,000 separate pages created for this specific purpose in the six official languages.", "B. Processing schedule", "44. The General Assembly, in paragraph 24 of its resolution 46/190 of 20 December 1991, urged the Secretary-General to take the necessary measures to ensure that pre‑session documents for meetings were distributed no less than six weeks before the meetings, and in paragraph 8 of its resolution 47/202 B of 22 December 1992, the Assembly urged the substantive departments of the Secretariat to comply with the rule requiring them to submit pre-session documents to conference services at least 10 weeks before the beginning of sessions in order to permit processing in time in all the official languages. The Assembly thus effectively allocates four weeks for the processing of documents submitted within the word limit.", "45. Because of time pressure, a manuscript most often is processed simultaneously on three paths: (a) editing of the original, (b) referencing for all target languages and (c) translation into all target languages. Parallel processing, although often unavoidable, is inefficient and time-consuming.", "46. Maximizing sequential workflow, in which manuscripts are edited, formatted and finalized in the original language before being sent for translation, is a precondition for efficient workflow automation, which, in turn, would enhance quality, speed up certain processing stages and reduce the overall processing time for certain documents.", "47. Cost efficiencies can be realized by changing the workflow from parallel processing to linear processing and by re-engineering the workflow to increase automation at each processing stage. Re-engineering the workflow for verbatim records is under way, as discussed in section D below. The related issue, increased sequential processing, could be accomplished by increasing capacity at the upstream stages or by adjusting the current paradigm to give the Department six weeks for processing rather than the current four. As documents are now available electronically in all official languages significantly sooner after their finalization, a six-week review period may no longer be necessary.", "48. The General Assembly may wish to amend the rules governing document processing to a 10-6-4 time frame, whereby manuscripts would be submitted to the Department 10 weeks and issued 4 weeks before consideration. This change would ensure the availability of documents well before their consideration and would provide for greater efficiencies and enhanced quality of documentation.", "C. Printing of parliamentary documents and capacity utilization", "49. During the past few years, the Department has reduced considerably the number of printed pages of parliamentary documents — by 41 per cent (50 per cent in New York) — even though both the number of documents handled by the Department and the number of manuscript pages processed have increased, by 6 per cent and 11 per cent, respectively, at all duty stations (7 per cent and 17 per cent in New York) from the levels in 2008. For example, 43 million page impressions were produced in May 2009, 18 million in May 2010 and 5.3 million in May 2011, for a total decrease of 80 per cent. As part of its strategy to encourage alternative means of distribution of parliamentary documents, the Department has introduced various electronic tools to enable users to access documents online. The average number of hard copies printed in New York is now more in line with the average at the other duty stations.", "50. The downward trend of page impressions is expected to continue as cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives become more available and more widely used. The reduced space in the conference rooms for document booths and the lack of storage space for documents in the North Lawn Building have compelled the Secretariat to reduce the distribution of documents on the premises and to compensate with increased reliance on electronic distribution. As delegates and the Secretariat gain more experience with paperless meetings, this mode of meeting should be strongly encouraged.", "D. Re-engineering the publishing workflow for verbatim records", "51. The Meetings and Publishing Division in New York has been developing, for the preparation of procès-verbaux of the Security Council, a fully digital workflow that handles the entire process, from content creation (verbatim reporting) through revision, layout and formatting and output in many digital forms (PDF, e-Pub, etc.). The workflow employs many tools to streamline the process (reference and digital translation tools, formatting templates and productivity scripts and macros). The workflow also allows for leveraging global resources: a test for connecting the New York and Nairobi duty stations to share the workflow was conducted in mid-2011.", "IV. Matters related to translation and interpretation", "52. Energetic measures are required to avoid a disruptive shortage of applicants in language career fields, especially given the large number of language staff expected to retire in the coming years. When projected retirements in the period from 2010 to 2016 are factored in, total turnover will reach 43 per cent for interpreters and 40 per cent for translators. In absolute numbers, this means that competitive examinations will have to produce 119 new recruits for interpretation and 217 for translation in the period in question.", "53. The Division of Conference Services at the United Nations Office at Nairobi still faces challenges in attracting and retaining qualified language staff despite various efforts and in collaboration with other duty stations in filling the posts. The proposed upgrades of six Reviser posts and five Interpreter posts from the P-4 to the P-5 level in the 2012-2013 budget is key to solving the problem of attracting and retaining qualified staff.", "54. The Department has conducted a comprehensive review of the language competitive examination process, in close cooperation with the Office of Human Resources Management. An expert panel with representatives from the Department and the Office is considering a range of policy issues related to the conduct of language examinations and the management of rosters. An online roster management module was launched that allows programme managers to access and share information about candidates on the roster awaiting recruitment on career appointments. The Department is considering a number of proposals aimed at expanding the pool of qualified applicants and simplifying the process by standardizing and streamlining the form and content of the examinations without compromising their high standards.", "55. Increased reliance on freelance interpreters as a short-term remedy has proven to be an unsatisfactory alternative. All duty stations have faced, to varying degrees, challenges arising from the unavailability of freelance interpreters on short notice, fierce global competition for their services and the fact that the conditions of their temporary employment at the United Nations are not as competitive as those offered by other institutions. The four duty stations agree on the need to increase in-house capacity and to widen the pool of local freelance interpreters where applicable (New York and Nairobi). The Department is leading negotiations with the International Association of Conference Interpreters, conducted within the framework of the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination, on a solution to the problem of uncompetitive rates, particularly in North America. New York and Geneva are also of the view that avoiding simultaneous peaks in their respective work programmes would allow for more staff exchanges, thus further reducing the need for such recruitment.", "56. Training and outreach together constitute a cornerstone of the Department’s long-term succession planning. By offering training opportunities, the Department ensures that the specialized competencies needed to carry out its daily work are maintained and developed by upgrading and updating the substantive and technical knowledge and skills of its current workforce. Through its outreach efforts, the Department aims to attract new talent through direct collaboration with training institutions, and it ensures awareness of its needs and requirements through a language outreach portal.", "57. The outreach to universities programme is aimed at addressing the shortage of qualified candidates to meet increasing needs in the language services. The network of training institutions that have signed memorandums of understanding with the United Nations has been expanded and currently includes 19 universities covering the six official languages of the Organization, and all the major regions except Latin America and the Caribbean. Applications from two universities in Latin America are currently under consideration, and informal cooperation has continued between the Department and the two universities, which were invited to nominate candidates for the language internship programme.", "58. The Department continued its collaboration with training institutions through the language internship programme. The programme proved to be an effective tool of identifying, attracting and training talented young professionals and directing them to language career paths at the United Nations. In 2011, a vacancy announcement for language internships attracted more than 600 applicants, 65 of whom were hosted by the four duty stations. They represented all six official languages and all language-related occupational groups (27 in New York, 29 in Geneva, 7 in Vienna and 2 in Nairobi). A total of 61 interns were hosted in 2010 (36 in New York, 14 in Geneva, 9 in Vienna and 2 in Nairobi). A number of graduates of the programme have passed language competitive examinations in interpretation and translation and have been recruited in the language services as staff members. The programme also assisted in complementing the pool of qualified language professionals available for temporary appointment and/or contractual translation assignments.", "59. The first conference of universities having signed memorandums of understanding was held in May 2011 and was hosted by the University of Salamanca, Spain. Representatives from the universities, the United Nations system and various European institutions held fruitful discussions and agreed on a set of specific actions aimed at strengthening cooperation among the parties in order to find common solutions to issues related to the training of language professionals. The conference will become an annual event. The next conference, to be hosted by the University of Mons, Belgium, in 2012, is expected to formalize the structure of the network of universities having signed memorandums of understanding and determine the modalities of its functioning.", "60. During the reporting period, the Department continued to implement planned training activities with an emphasis on translation- and interpretation-specific skills. Effectiveness in the utilization of funds by each beneficiary unit is monitored regularly. The level of resources allocated to training activities in 2011 is roughly equal to that of 2010, and many training requests were denied owing to the shortage of funds.", "61. Traineeships constitute another formula for enhancing the pool of qualified language professionals in language combinations that were identified as problematic or critical for succession-planning purposes. In 2009, a pilot programme was conducted in New York in which four candidates identified as promising by an examination board were selected to receive interpreter training in the English booth. All four trainees have since passed the competitive examination for interpreters.", "62. The Conference Management Service in Vienna continued its language traineeship programme based on retainer contracting. Trainees are given production quotas to fulfil for the host service, and at the same time benefit from mentoring and feedback from experienced language professionals. In 2010, the Office hosted nine trainees, mostly in translation, and is expecting to host five in 2011. The Interpretation Section in Vienna organized short training sessions in the field of interpretation for selected students, which benefited 115 trainees in 2010 and 134 in 2011.", "63. The Department is currently considering options for formalizing a traineeship programme, as requested by the General Assembly in its resolution 65/245, and strengthening the language internship programme. Full responsibility for administering the internship programmes has recently been transferred from the Office of Human Resources Management to the hosting departments, thus allowing the Department to streamline the posting of internship announcements in Inspira and to have more flexibility in timing internships to avoid their overlap with peak workload periods.", "64. The Department’s succession-planning efforts are hampered by a lack of budgetary resources and are largely dependent on the voluntary efforts of dedicated language staff, who, for example, combine their home leave with pedagogical assistance missions. Time spent in training and outreach activities is time not available for regular work, entailing a requirement for replacement staff. Despite its achievements and positive aspects, the programme is close to reaching its limit in terms of the number of training institutions that can be included in the network, the number and scope of pedagogical assistance activities that can be carried out by staff without any financial support and the number of interns who can receive meaningful training in the host language services. The necessity of supporting proactive succession-planning efforts with adequate financing was highlighted by the Joint Inspection Unit in its forthcoming report on the outreach to universities programme, in which it recommends that the legislative bodies of the organizations of the United Nations system ensure that the necessary resources are allocated within the organizations for achieving effective succession planning and dispensing targeted training to candidates for language examinations.", "65. Human and financial resources must be in place to enhance outreach and training efforts, to expand and mainstream the traineeship programme, which will strengthen the Department’s succession-planning efforts through enhanced collaboration with its partner training institutions, and to train staff once they are on board. Some Member States may also be willing to provide support for training activities related to specific languages. Preliminary enquiries have been made to members of the League of Arab States to ascertain their interest in contributing to the Department’s training of Arabic-language translators and interpreters through a trust fund or other arrangement to be put in place by the contributors.", "66. The oft-competing demands of productivity, quality, timeliness and cost-effectiveness remain at the cornerstone of document-processing decisions. The highest priority is given to quality, but this approach is unsustainable given the present workload and capacity. Informational meetings are held with Member States, as mandated by the General Assembly (most recently in its resolution 65/245), but attendance remains low.", "67. The Department makes full use of contractual translation. The proportion of translation done contractually is increasing, and funds are deployed to match the expected demand. However, problems remain regarding the amount and type of work that can be translated contractually: individual contractors are not guaranteed to be available, and institutional providers, while able to accept large amounts of work, do not provide a sufficiently and consistently high-quality product.", "68. Quality control has been given top priority in efforts to ensure a high standard for external translation. A senior reviser and/or focal point for quality control has been designated at the United Nations Offices at Geneva and Vienna. At all duty stations, contractors receive feedback from in-house revisers, in some cases for every job. A global roster of translators and revisers within the Department’s contractor management application is updated continually on the basis of input provided by in-house staff on work received from contractors.", "69. Efforts to increase quality control for externally processed jobs are hampered by capacity gaps whereby staff cannot be fully dedicated to quality-control functions. In times of increased workload and decreased capacity, staff must perform other required functions, including revision.", "70. Owing to the technological advances in the field of document processing and the need to re-engineer workflow in this area, the Department is exploring the application of computer-assisted translation tools, terminology databases, translation memories and machine translation. This shift to new technology tools will yield benefits in terms of quantity and quality if the necessary investment is made now to procure and test the available tools and to ensure training so that all staff members can become proficient users of the tools.", "71. Alternative methods of delivery of summary records was raised in the 2004 report of the Secretary-General on the reform of the Department (A/59/172) and again in his 2005 report on the pattern of conferences (A/60/93). Subsequently, in its resolution 60/236 B of 8 May 2006, the General Assembly called upon the Secretary-General to further elaborate on those proposals. The Assembly may wish to approve the proposed continuation of the production of summary records in the original language only (English or French), complemented by supplemental systems (e.g., on demand, digital, restricted), to be put in place to meet the needs of Member States.", "72. Treaty body documentation includes submissions by the Secretariat and intergovernmental bodies, which are subject to word limits, and submissions by Member States, which currently are not subject to word limits. In 2010, the latter category of documents showed a 42 per cent increase, to 170 documents, the largest of which was in excess of 87,000 words (approximately 274 pages). It is vital that word limits be respected for all treaty body documentation, which will have a positive impact on the work burden for all concerned. Following the decision of the chairs of the human rights treaty bodies in this regard (see A/65/190, annex II, para. 22), the General Assembly may wish to further reinforce this proposed course of action.", "[1] As early as 2001, the General Assembly recognized the need to recalibrate the Department’s relationship to the conference management components of the United Nations Offices at Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi. In paragraph 81 of its resolution 56/253, the Assembly requested the Secretary-General to ensure that conference services are managed in an integrated manner throughout all duty stations in the Organization, and in sect. II, para. 3, of its resolution 56/242, it requested that the Department be considered the executive authority to oversee, coordinate and enhance the global management and delivery of United Nations conference services. In 2003, the Assembly requested that the responsibilities in management matters be clearly defined as well as delineated between the four conference-servicing duty stations (resolution 57/283 B, sect. II.B, paras. 7 and 8). In 2009, the Assembly emphasized the need for programme managers, and duty stations resourced under section 2 of the programme budget, to be cost-effective and efficient, particularly with respect to the effective functioning of the global management of conference services, and requested the Secretary-General to develop mechanisms that would enhance accountability in this regard (resolution 64/243, para. 67). This request was reiterated in 2010 (resolution 65/245, sect. III, para. 15)." ]

The utilization statistics on the allocation of conference resources to core sample bodies held in New York, Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi over the past three years have come from g-Meets and are contained in section II, table 1. The table also includes the percentage statistics on the issuance of pre-session documents four weeks and six weeks prior to the start/examining of the project and the appropriate index by week.", "The overall utilization rate for all four duty stations in 2010 was 85 per cent (86 per cent in 2009) (see section II, table 2). The utilization rate in New York was down from 84 per cent in 2009 to 81 per cent in 2010, owing to the cancellation of 16 per cent of meetings, while only 61 per cent of interpreters could be rescheduled. By contrast, the 2009 Review Conference was 13 per cent and 65 per cent of interpreters were rescheduled. It is sometimes impossible to reorganize interpretation services to other meetings, especially when arrangements are made at the last point. The decrease in the use rate in Nairobi is due to the inability to reorganize the only group of persons cancelled. In all meetings with interpretation in New York, the percentage between the planned number of meetings and actual meetings From 96 per cent in 2009 to 97 per cent in 2010 (see section II, table 7). Section II also contains comparable statistical data on the utilization rate for the past three years (Table 3) and the ratio of meetings (Table 4).", "The planning accuracy factor has increased significantly, as a result of changes in the programme of work that are expected to be made in the preparation of a meeting for a period of six months for the active planning and regular monitoring of the planned meetings (see section II, table 5). The overall planning accuracy factor for the four duty stations increased from 84 per cent in 2009 to 88 per cent in 2010, from 77 per cent in 2009 to 82 per cent in 2010 (see section II, table 6).", "Table 7 of section II of the supplementary information lists the number and percentage data of all planned meetings held and held at all four duty stations, including core sampling agencies.", "In New York, the three intergovernmental bodies with a utilization rate of less than 80 per cent of the benchmark by 2010 (see section II, table 1.A) are the Committee on Contributions, the Special Committee on the Charter of the United Nations and the Statistical Commission.

The decrease is due mainly to the rapid increase in the hotel in Addis Ababa and the recent opening of the Government Chamber to offer other venues for the organization of meetings of non-United Nations organizations and companies, as well as the cancellation of a number of meetings owing to the frequent use of conference centre clients. This more intense competitive trend has led the Commission to adopt a stronger and innovative marketing strategy to increase its utilization.", "The promotional activities of the Centre included participation in important international conferences and exhibitions, including the International Fair for Tourism, Meetings and Activities, held in Frankfu, Germany, and the International Congress and Conference Association meetings held in Hélab, India.

Impact on meetings held at Headquarters during the implementation of the capital master plan", "In addition to the core activities of the agencies listed in the calendar, the Department continues to face the challenge of requesting services and organizing meetings for many additional meetings. Ongoing interaction with the capital master plan secretariat could minimize the impact on intergovernmental processes.", "The need for improved security standards and the resulting enhancement of fire-fighting means that conference rooms 1, 2 and 3 at the next floor of the Conference Building will be fully designed. Public seats have been relocated to the east wall and the vice-versa has been relocated to the west wall. The conference room will no longer rely on the window line, thus reducing the size of the area by about 2,000 square feet (186 square meters), but no representative seat has been affected. The completion date is expected to be changed to December 2012. During the remainder of the capital master plan, the latest available information available in the Conference is provided in section V of the additional information.", "In order to facilitate flexible working arrangements, the Department of General Assembly has provided approximately 700 mobile office licences to translators, probationary schools, editors, committees and conference officers.

In order to ensure that the most cost-effective convener is compared to the cost of the services provided by staff from different duty stations and regional commissions and free professionals, the minimum cost-sharing arrangement is used, taking due account of the replacement costs, existing capacities and quality assurance issues. The benefits of such arrangements include savings for the Organization and the host country, and staff from different duty stations have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with other practices in order to enable the development of best practices models.", "The close rules are only one of the many aspects of integrated global management, as contained in the compendium of administrative policies, practices and procedures for conference services, which have been revised to reflect developments since the final version of 2007.

Integrated global management is also developing, not only as a means of effectively allocating and using the tangible resources of the Department of General Assembly, but also as a means of achieving and sharing intangible benefits, including knowledge and expertise and lessons learned, but also as a prerequisite for the value added of resources by the Department and ensuring the economic and efficient functioning of those resources. In this spirit, the 2011 Conference manager coordination meeting focused on the practical experience and lessons learned from the application of the neighbouring rules with a view to formulating policy recommendations and proposing ways to improve practices.", "Performance measures", "In accordance with paragraph 15 of section III of General Assembly resolution 3945 of 24 December 2010, the Secretariat, under the chairmanship of the Committee on Management, chaired by the Deputy Secretary-General, undertook a comprehensive review of the efficiency and accountability mechanisms for the management of meetings at the four main duty stations to explore the limits of effective authority and to establish, within existing mandates, acceptable rules and organizational structures and reform frameworks for the exercise of such authority, taking due account of the responsibilities of the Under-Secretary-General for General Assembly and Conference Management to the Secretary-General in improving and promoting the effectiveness of the overall process of intergovernmental activities, and to guide the integrated management of conference services at all duty stations, including the relevant sections. The Secretary-General recognizes the principle of accountability and common responsibility between the Under-Secretary-General for General Assembly and Conference Management in Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi and the Directors of the three offices. A uniform amendment to the Secretary-General's bulletin on the organization of the three offices will be developed to define and compile the dual responsibility of the Under-Secretaries-General and heads of offices in the management of the Conference.", "Through an in-depth discussion, the four duty stations providing conference services agreed on key performance indicators and basic costing methods for standardization. Through the statistical reporting system of the Integrated Conference Management System (g-Data), data input at the four duty stations will be fully consistent and will also report comparative performance in order to prepare reports of time-bound and comparable key performance indicators for each duty station while enhancing transparency and accountability. Financial reports have been actively used. By mid-2011, all planned reports were completed and made public. As of the preparation of the present report, many have been tested and signed by users.", "The performance table for 2010 is contained in section VI of the supplementary information, which provides indicators on the timeliness of human resources, conference management and documentation, and indicators on productivity in language services.", "C. Evaluation by Member States of the quality of conference services", "In 2009, the Department coordinated conference services surveys at all duty stations and developed common indicators. The global electronic survey was promoted and distributed to all four duty stations by e-mail with links to the survey, by the Under-Secretary-General for General Assembly and Conference Management, and by the Journal of the United Nations and all relevant websites, and outreach activities at all duty stations. In addition to the evaluation of the current service delivery, the global e-assessment also sought feedback on improving the quality of services. The written observations and the collection of complaints were distributed to each relevant office and lessons learned to facilitate the effectiveness of future investigations. Two global e surveys were conducted in May and November 2010, with four weeks and five weeks, respectively.", "Despite the efforts made by the Department, it is disappointing that the response rate for electronic investigations is very low. The electronic survey of May 2010 received only 137 responses from all duty stations, of which 38 per cent considered the services of the Department as “excellent”, 5 per cent were “poor”. In November 2010, the electronic survey received 130 responses from all duty stations, of which 40 per cent were “good”, 5 per cent were “poor”. The difference is largely due to the difficulty of identifying information in the calendar of conferences and meetings.", "In April and October 2010, the Department of General Assembly and the delegation held two rounds of exchange meetings on the quality of language services; the Geneva Conference Management Division held three meetings in July and December; the Vienna Conference Management Service held two meetings in April and July; and the Nairobi Conference Services Division held two meetings. In addition to regular surveys of conference services, the Department of General Assembly Affairs has maintained a database to preserve specific feedback on the quality of its services.", "Matters relating to documents and publications", "Documentation management", "The document management system (g-Doc) of the Integrated Conference Management System initiative was reactivated in March 2011 in order to integrate the functions of the Headquarters and the Geneva system into common work processes, thereby reducing the demand for customization for operations across regions. The workplan also includes, inter alia, a common document submission module, including the harmonization of the schedules and forecastings, in order to enable intergovernmental bodies and departments that prepare documentation to follow up in advance.", "During the reporting cycle, further progress has been made in proactive documentation management, and all four duty stations are implementing the slotting system to improve performance in certain areas, although there remain obstacles in other areas. For example, in the first five months of 2011, the overall rate for the timely submission of pre-scheduled documents in New York reached 87 per cent, with significant improvements compared to 73 per cent in 2009 and 78 per cent in 2010, indicating that 90 per cent of the implementation benchmarks were achievable. At the same time, the Department of New York maintained 100 per cent implementation rate in all documents that were submitted on time and subject to word limits within four weeks. Thus, 83 per cent of pre-session documents that have been scheduled to be issued in accordance with the prescribed time frame, compared to 76 per cent in 2009 and 82 per cent in 2010.", "The Inter-Ministerial Task Force on Documentation, consisting of all document preparation departments, meets twice a year, with a focus on the documentation of the Fifth Committee in the second quarter of the third quarter, including two parts: Part I for all sectors and offices of the submission of documents, while Part II deals specifically with the documents of the Fifth Committee. The attendance of the meeting has been good and an interactive and action-oriented approach at which new legislative provisions and operational guidelines were presented and lessons learned and views were shared to improve them. The practice of holding meetings of the task force also triggers interest at other duty stations. In addition, the senior management of the Department is closely involved in the scheduling period in New York and in other duty stations and has regular contact with the heads of departments and intergovernmental bodies in the preparation of documentation.", "Compliance with the submission of documents guidelines has improved, thanks to the joint efforts of the author departments and the Department of General Assembly Affairs, the Department has made vigorous efforts to monitor the submission schedule and follow-up of documents in the preparation of the document, focusing on the preparation of documents that have been unable to meet 90 per cent of the benchmarks, particularly when the work of the intergovernmental bodies is severely affected by the late issuance of documents.", "Although the overall ratio of submissions has been steadily increasing, the performance of the document preparation sector varies: In 2008, 27 (56 per cent) of the 48 sectors reached 90 per cent of the documents submission compliance, which dropped to 23 out of 51 sectors (45 per cent) in 2009, and to 25 out of 48 sectors (52 per cent). Accordingly, the Department of General Assembly Affairs will more rigorously implement the archiving system through the use of the “footnotes” as mandated by the General Assembly.", "In Geneva, the online planning module was fully launched in 2010. All entities preparing the document submitted their projections for the cycle from July 2011 to January 2012. OHCHR has submitted, for the first time in history, projections of all documents of the Human Rights Council and treaty body documents, although the latter are still much less predictable, mainly dependent on the submission of documents by Member States. The Division of Conference Management will continue to hold discussions with the secretariats of treaty bodies in order to schedule the documents within their purview. It needs to be noted that, despite the speciality of the Human Rights Council, it has great flexibility to make the submission of the dates in accordance with the consideration of the item, the rate of achievement is still far below 90 per cent benchmark. The Economic Commission for Europe and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development have a relatively overlapping short and large number of documents, the only response to this workload remains in strict compliance with the 10-week rule.", "Since 2003, the Vienna Conference Management Service has introduced the document ranking system, which was included in the electronic workflows of documentation, conferences and production management systems in 2005. In 2010, the United Nations Office at Vienna had more than the previous year, which was included in the electronic forecasts submitted and updated periodically by the user secretariat twice a year. The Service engages in dialogue with the secretariats and the bureaux of the governing bodies in order to agree on alternative time frames, in particular those based in Vienna that do not apply the 10-week time frame, when flexible arrangements are required for the dynamics of relevant intergovernmental bodies.", "The United Nations Office at Nairobi has used the documentation time system for all clients. However, regular budget clients account for only 30 per cent of their total documentation, while the rate of implementation of extrabudgetary clients is very low, for them, 10 weeks may apply only to a few specific documents. In most cases, the Office will seek to propose an additional schedule based on the specific requirements of the governing bodies.", "One of the major initiatives in the area of documentation is the scheduling of pre-session documents for the Council. The Department of General Assembly and the Secretariat of the Council agreed on the conceptual framework and, together with the document-making department, the preparation of the template for the period of time and the date and length of the submission of the consultation documents. At present, only reports submitted directly to the Council are scheduled to be submitted to the sanctions committees and expert groups, which will be dealt with in the next stage of consultation due to their complexity.", "In global document management, the sharing of work is still in fact temporary, with very small numbers accounting for less than 1 per cent of the global workload. This is due mainly to the fact that there is little residual capacity and that all four duty stations are forecast to have a significant capacity shortfall compared to the projected flow of work, and therefore there is no space to transfer the workload. For example, the current capacity of the United Nations Office at Geneva has been short of a number of years and its backlog of translations has continued.", "Exclusive intervention in the implementation of the documents is mainly carried out through proactive prior intervention. The proactive documentation quasi-management took place at the time of the documentation schedule, with the Department of General Assembly approval to limit the length of the documents scheduled for the scheduled period, taking into account the rationale provided by the document preparation department and the similar pattern of reporting. Such practices often have significant effect. In 2010, the text was reduced by 421,145 words (approximately 1,300 pages) through interaction with the New York document preparation sector.", "The Secretariat has published a number of sanctions lists in the six official languages of the United Nations, for example, with regard to the sanctions regime relating to Somalia/Eritrea and the Sudan. Since the last substantive session of the Committee on Conferences, a comprehensive list of committees to monitor sanctions against the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been provided in the six official languages, and a comprehensive list of the Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire sanctions committees is expected soon.", "In addition, the Committee has decided to make a summary of the reasons for listing all entities on the Al-Qaida and the Taliban list available on its website in the six official languages. A total of 483 copies were approved and nearly 3,000 separate pages were produced in the six official languages for specific purposes.", "Organization of work", "In paragraph 24 of its resolution 46/190 of 20 December 1991, the General Assembly urged the Secretary-General to take the necessary measures to ensure that the pre-session documents of the Conference were circulated no later than six weeks prior to the start of the meeting and, in paragraph 8 of its resolution 47/202 B of 22 December 1992, urged the substantive departments of the Secretariat to comply with the rules and to submit a pre-session documentation to the Office at least 10 weeks before the start of the Conference in order to be processed in all official languages in a timely manner. Accordingly, the General Assembly has effectively scheduled four weeks to deal with submissions within the limits of the word.", "Because of time constraints, the text is often dealt with simultaneously in three ways: (a) editorial; (b) reference for all target languages; and (c) translation into all target languages. Parallel treatment, although usually unavoidable, is inefficient and time-consuming.", "The full use of sequencing processes is a prerequisite for the automation of effective work processes, editoring, formating and finalization of the text in order to be submitted for translation, while the automated work process will improve quality, expedite certain processing phases and reduce the entire processing time of certain documents.", "The replacement of work processes from parallel treatment to line-based treatment and the redesign of work processes to increase the cost-effectiveness of automation for each of the processing phases. As noted in section D below, the workflow of the verbatim report is being redesigned. The issues related to strengthening orderal processing, which could be achieved by strengthening the capacity of the downstream phase or adapting the current model to the six-week period of disposal of the Department, rather than the current four weeks of processing. In view of the fact that documents in all official languages made available in electronic form after the completion of the draft, they may no longer require six weeks of review.", "The General Assembly may wish to change the rules for the processing of documents to a time frame of 10-6-4, whereby the text is submitted to the Department for General Assembly and issued four weeks before its consideration. This change will ensure that documents can be made available for a long period prior to consideration and that they will be made more efficient and efficient.", "C. Printed conference documents and capacity-building", "In the past few years, the Department of General Assembly has significantly reduced the number of pages in hard copy of the Conference document by 41 per cent (50 per cent in New York), despite an increase in the number of documents and text sheets processed by the Department and an increase of 6 per cent and 11 per cent in all duty stations compared to 2008, respectively (7 per cent and 17 per cent in New York). For example, in May 2009, the page was 43 million, 18 million in May 2010 and 5.3 million in May 2011 and 80 per cent. As part of the strategy to encourage the distribution of parliamentary documentation in other ways, the Department has adopted various electronic tools to enable users to access documents online. The average number of printed texts in New York is now similar to that of other duty stations.", "The downward trend is expected to continue with cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives. The conference room paper narrowed space, with the lack of documentation storage space in the North Koreans, compelling the Secretariat to reduce the distribution of documents in the building and rely more on electronic distribution. This pattern of meetings should be strongly encouraged with the experience of delegates and the secretariat of more paperless meetings.", "Re-engineering of the production process of the verbatim report", "The Conference and Publications Division in New York, for the preparation of the Council's proceedings, has been committed to the development of a fully digitized work process, from content creation (verbatim records) to multiple digital formats (PDF, e-PUB, etc.) to process the entire process. The work process uses a number of tools to simplify procedures (refers and digital translation tools, format templates and sound and ambitious orders for efficiency). Work processes also allow the use of global resources: in mid-2011, two duty stations linking New York and Nairobi were tested to share work processes.", "Translation and interpretation matters", "There is a need for robust measures to avoid shortage of candidates in the language sector and to impede the work, particularly given that language staff are expected to retire significantly over the next few years. If the status of retirement is projected for the period 2010-2016, the overall retirement rate for interpreters will be 43 per cent and the translator will be 40 per cent. From absolute figures, this means the recruitment of 119 new interpreters through competitive examinations and 217 translators.", "The Division of Conference Services at the United Nations Office at Nairobi, despite the efforts made and in cooperation with other duty stations to fill vacancies, still faces challenges in attracting and retaining qualified language staff. The 2012/2013 budget proposes that six trial schools and five interpretations be promoted from P-4 to P-5 as key to addressing the issues of attracting and retaining qualified staff.", "The Department of General Assembly Affairs, in close cooperation with the Office of Human Resources Management, has reviewed the language competitive examinations process. A panel of experts composed of representatives of the Department of General Assembly and the Office of Personnel is considering a range of policy issues related to language examinations and roster management. An online roster management module was launched to allow plan managers to search for candidates for appointment on the roster. The Department of General Assembly Affairs is considering a number of proposals to expand the scope of qualified candidates, streamline the process, streamline the form and content of the examinations and standardize them without reducing their high standards.", "More reliance on free occupational interpreters is not satisfactory. All duty stations face challenges to varying degrees and are difficult to find free occupational interpreters in the face of needs, to compete in a global manner for free occupational interpreters and to the conditions for free occupational interpreters to be employed in the United Nations on a temporary basis. Four duty stations agreed that there was a need for increased internal capacity to expand the pool of local free occupational interpreters (New York and Nairobi). The Department of General Assembly Affairs is currently leading negotiations with the International Association of Interpreters within the framework of the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination to address the issue of competitiveness, particularly in North America. New York and Geneva also believe that avoiding a peak in their respective work programmes will lead to more staff exchanges, thereby further reducing the demand for urgent recruitment.", "Training and outreach are the cornerstone of the Department's long-term succession planning. By providing training opportunities, the Department ensures that the substantive and technical knowledge and skills of staff within the Ministry are enriched and complemented by the specialized expertise needed to maintain and develop the day-to-day work. The Department seeks to attract new talents directly and in cooperation with training agencies through outreach activities and to ensure knowledge of their needs and requirements through the language outreach portal.", "The High School Outreach Programme aims to address the lack of qualified candidates and meet the growing demands for language services. The network of training institutions that have signed a memorandum of understanding with the United Nations has been expanding, including 19 universities, covering all six official languages of the United Nations, except in Latin America and the Caribbean. Applications from two universities in Latin America are currently being considered, and the Department is undertaking informal cooperation with the two universities, and two universities have been invited to nominate candidates for the language interns programme.", "The Department of General Assembly Affairs continued to work with training agencies through the language interns scheme. Internship programmes have proved to be an effective way of identifying, attracting and developing young professionals to guide them on the United Nations language career path. In 2011, an internship vacancy announcement attracted more than 600 applicants, of whom 65 were to four duty stations, interns including all six official languages and all language-related occupations (27 in New York, 29 in Geneva, 7 in Vienna, 2 in Nairobi). In 2010, there were 61 interns. (36 in New York, 14 in Geneva, 9 in Vienna, 2 in Nairobi). A number of graduates of the programme have adopted competitive examinations for interpretation and translation languages and have been recruited to serve in the language sector. The programme also assists in providing complementary resources for qualified language professionals engaged in temporary employment and/or contractual translation.", "The University of signing the memorandum of understanding held its first meeting at the University of Salamanca, Spain, in May 2011. The representatives of these universities, the United Nations system and European institutions held fruitful discussions and agreed on a set of concrete actions to enhance cooperation among parties to address the issue of training of language professionals. The meeting will be held annually. The next session will be hosted by the University of Monsques, Belgium, in 2012 and is expected to formalize the network structure of the University signing the memorandum of understanding and to determine its functioning.", "During the reporting period, the Department continued its planned training activities, with emphasis on translation and interpretation skills. The use of funds by each beneficiary unit is regularly monitored. The level of resources allocated to training activities in 2011 was roughly equivalent to 2010 and many training requests were dismissed as a result of funding shortfalls.", "The training internship programme is another model for expanding the pool of qualified language professionals with specific language portfolio skills, since such portfolio skills are problematic, and it is also critical for language professionals to take classes. In 2009, a pilot programme was conducted in New York to select four candidates for interpretation training in English boxes. Each of these four trainees adopted an interpretation competitive examination.", "The Vienna Conference Management Service continued its multilingual training programme based on pre-employment contracts. The language sector of the internship was determined for the production of interns, with the benefits of counselling and feedback from experienced language professionals. In 2010, 9 internships were in the Service, mostly in the translation sector, and 5 in 2011. The Vienna Interpretation Section conducted short-term interpretation training for selected trainees, 115 trainees in 2010 and 134 trainees in 2011.", "The Department of General Assembly Affairs is considering options to formalize a training internship programme, as requested by the General Assembly in its resolution 3945, and to strengthen the language interns programme. The full responsibility for managing the internship programme has recently been transferred from the Office of Personnel to the receiving sector, which will enable the Department to streamline the Inspira announcement of interns and to more flexiblely arrange interns to avoid overlap with the peak period.", "The Department's follow-up planning process is hampered by insufficient budgetary resources and depends to a large extent on the voluntary efforts of dedicated language staff, such as the provision of support teaching during staff visits. The time spent on training and outreach took over normal working hours and required replacements. Despite the achievements and many positive aspects of the programme, the number of training institutions included in the network, the number and size of support-based teaching activities carried out by staff without financial support, and the number of internships trained in the language sectors receiving internships. In its forthcoming report on outreach programmes to universities, the Joint Inspection Unit highlighted the need for adequate funding to support active process planning, and recommended that the legislative bodies of the United Nations system organizations ensure that the necessary resources are allocated within the organization, effective course planning and targeted training for language examinations.", "Human and financial resources must be put in place to strengthen outreach and training, expand and mainstream training internship programmes, which will strengthen the Department's approach planning, strengthen cooperation with training agency partners and strengthen post-employment training for staff. Some Member States are also willing to support training activities in specific languages. Initially, the views of members of the League of Arab States were sought to determine whether they were willing to establish funds or other arrangements to fund the training of Arabic-language translation and interpretation in the Department of General Assembly Affairs.", "Efficiency, quality, timeliness and cost-effectiveness, which often compete with each other, continue to be the main factor in the processing of the decisions. The highest priority is quality, but it is not sustainable given the current workload and number. In accordance with the provisions of the General Assembly (most recently General Assembly resolution 3945) and with Member States, the number of participants remains small.", "The Department of General Assembly and Conference Management makes full use of contractual translations. The proportion of contractual translations has increased and funds have been mobilized to adapt to expected needs. However, problems remain with regard to the number and type of work that can be contracted for translation. Individual contractors are not necessarily available at any time; the corporate contractor, while able to accept a large number of work, cannot always provide sufficient quality products.", "The quality control is given high priority to ensure the high standards of outsourcing translation. The United Nations offices in Geneva and Vienna have appointed a senior trial and/or focal point to control quality. At all duty stations, the contractor has received feedback from the internal review school and, in some cases, each translator has received feedback. Based on the input of internal staff to the contractual translation process received, the global translation and trial rosters within the Department's translation contractor management system are continually updated.", "Efforts to enhance quality control in outsourced work have been hampered by the lack of full-time staff responsibility for quality control. The increase in workload, reduced capacity, and staff must also perform other functions, including probationary schools.", "Because of technical progress in the area of documentation processing and the need to redesign work processes in this area, the Department is exploring tools such as computer-based translation tools, terminology databases, translation of memories and machine translation. The shift to new technology tools will improve quantity and quality, and if necessary investments are now made available, the procurement and testing of tools available to ensure training and allow all staff members to make them accessible.", "The report of the Secretary-General on the reform of the Department of General Assembly Affairs in 2004 (A/59/172) and the 2005 report on the pattern of conferences (A/60/93) raised additional options for the provision of summary records. Subsequently, in its resolution 60/236 B of 8 May 2006, the General Assembly requested the Secretary-General to study those proposals further carefully. The General Assembly may wish to approve the continued production of summary records only (English or French) in the original language, complementing the needs of Member States by means of delivery, digitization, limitation and distribution.", "The treaty bodies' documentation includes a number of documents submitted by the Secretariat and intergovernmental bodies and documents submitted by Member States that are not subject to word limits. In 2010, the latter document increased by 42 per cent to 170, with a maximum of 78,000 words (approximately 274). All treaty body documents should be subject to word limitations, which is crucial and will have a positive impact on all relevant work burdens. Further to the decision taken by the President of the human rights treaty bodies in this regard (see A/65/190, annex II, para. 22), the General Assembly may wish to further strengthen the proposed programme of action.", "In early 2001, the General Assembly recognized the need to align the relationship between the Department of General Assembly and the Conference management of the United Nations Office at Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi. In paragraph 81 of its resolution 56/253, the General Assembly requested the Secretary-General to ensure that conference services at all duty stations of the Organization are managed in an integrated manner and, in section II, paragraph 3, of its resolution 56/242, requested the Department of General Assembly Affairs to be considered as an implementing agency responsible for overseeing, coordinating and strengthening the overall management and implementation of United Nations conference services. In 2003, the General Assembly requested the clear definition and division of responsibility for management matters between the four duty stations providing conference services (resolution 57/283 B, sect. IIB, paras. 7 and 8). In 2009, the General Assembly stressed that programme managers and duty stations funded through section 2 of the programme budget would be cost-effective and efficient, in particular to enhance the effective functioning of conference services global management, and requested the Secretary-General to develop mechanisms to strengthen accountability in that regard (resolution 64243, para. This requirement was reiterated in 2010 (resolution 3945, sect. III, para." ]

自第64/289号决议通过以来，在高度期望中创建的妇女署一直系统地开展工作以确保能够充分满足这一期望。结果是，在该决议通过一年后，妇女署已为发展成一个促进性别平等和增强妇女权能的强有力和有效运行的组织奠定了坚实的基础。理事机构的领导才能、由妇女署副秘书长/执行主任开展的广泛协商、实地能力评估、不断增加的捐助承诺以及在融合四个组成实体的各类忠诚的工作人员上取得的进展都为妇女署在未来数年期间取得可衡量的成果做好了准备。", "5. 自妇女署把四个致力于性别平等和增强妇女权能的实体[1] 的任务和职能合并起来并发挥新增的协调作用(见第64/289号决议的第49和53段)以来，其战略方针和程序一直着眼于支持在三个职能领域取得具体成果的综合办法，即：(a) 根据各国的优先事项和受需求驱动，在国家一级扩大对会员国的支助；(b) 支持政府间进程，加强关于性别平等及其实地执行的全球政策和规范框架；以及(c) 领导和协调联合国系统关于性别平等和增强妇女权能的工作，并促进这方面的问责制。在妇女署成立后不久编制的几个主要的拟议预算和规划工具[2] 使妇女署得以巩固这一用于取得成果的综合办法。妇女署组织结构图的设计是为了在各个职能领域之间产生必要的协同效应和联系(见下文第41和42段)。", "6. 2011年1月，作为制订妇女署工作计划的第一步，副秘书长/执行主任启动了“构想和百日行动计划”，其中阐述了将妇女署建成强有力的组织的核心原则和优先事项。随后，这些核心原则和优先事项在与会员国、联合国系统各实体、民间社会组织和其他利益攸关方的广泛协商中得到确认，为妇女署战略计划的制订铺平了道路。", "7. 根据大会第64/289号决议的一般原则，妇女署的第一项战略计划，即2011-2013年战略计划(见UNW/2011/9)确立了妇女署支持各会员国和联合国系统其他实体实现性别平等和增强妇女权能的构想、任务和优先事项。该战略计划借助2009和2010年《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》30周年纪念、《千年宣言》和安全理事会关于妇女、和平与安全的第1325(2000)号决议10周年纪念、以及《北京行动纲要》执行进展情况15年期审查等这些具有里程碑意义的活动所产生的动力。计划还确认支持会员国结合国家优先事项，并与其他利益攸关方合作，消除在落实全球制定规范承诺和政策承诺与妇女日常现实之间长期存在的差距。", "8. 在编制战略计划的过程中，妇女署与大约5 000名伙伴进行了协商，包括各国政府、民间社会和学术界、联合国系统和国际发展组织。协商肯定了妇女署的主要重点专题领域，并帮助澄清了利益攸关方的需求和联合国伙伴对妇女署尤其在协调和加强体制工作上寄予的期望。妇女署副秘书长/执行主任同会员国和民间社会进行的协商，包括在妇女地位委员会第五十五届会议和妇女署执行局会议期间进行的协商以及她对各国的访问，大大有助于妇女署战略方针的形成。", "9. 在制定战略计划的过程中，妇女署还开展了实地能力评估，以此为基础加强妇女署响应国家需求在当地提供协调、领导和专门知识的能力。完成这项评估是清楚认识在外地参与支持性别平等和增强妇女权能的联合国实体存在的现状并向会员国提出一个标准支持模型的关键因素。", "10. 2011年6月30日，妇女署执行局核可了2011-2013年战略计划(见第2011/3号决定)。战略计划为妇女署提供了框架和指导，用以支持各会员国，以及与妇女组织和网络、其他民间社会组织、学者和专家、大众传媒和私营部门建立伙伴关系，并努力建立机构能力以履行其创建决议中规定的各项职能。该框架可按照各会员国和联合国系统的要求，灵活应对国家的优先事项和需要。战略计划中提出的统一成果框架包含三个相互关联的部分：发展成果框架；管理成果框架；综合资源框架。其重点是使妇女署能够衡量国家、区域和全球各级的业绩和贡献的各项成果、指标和目标。妇女署副秘书长/执行主任将从2012年年度会议开始向执行局提交2011-2013年战略计划执行情况年度报告并在2012和2013年常会上提交新的报告。", "妇女署的构想，任务说明和优先专题 \n 构想 \n妇女署的构想是建立这样的世界，即社会上没有基于性别的歧视、男女享有平等机会、保证妇女和女童获得全面经济和社会发展从而使其能够主导所希望看到的变革、实现性别平等和增强妇女权能、在为进一步发展、人权、和平与安全所作的一切努力中维护妇女权利。\n 任务说明 \n妇女署将立足于《联合国宪章》体现的平等愿景开展工作，努力消除对妇女和女孩的歧视，增强妇女权能，并使妇女和男子成为发展、人权、人道主义行动、和平与安全的平等伙伴和受益者。妇女署将把妇女权利作为一切工作的中心，领导和协调联合国系统的工作，确保把性别平等和性别平等主流化的承诺转化为全世界的行动。妇女署将为支持会员国的优先事项和努力提供强有力和协调一致的领导，同时与民间社会和其他有关行为体建立有效的伙伴关系。\n 五个优先专题 \n (a) 扩大妇女的领导权与参与； \n (b) 结束暴力侵害妇女行为； \n (c) 加强对妇女与和平与安全议程的执行； \n (d) 增强妇女经济权能； \n (e) 把性别平等优先事项摆在国家各级规划和预算编制工作的中心位置。", "B. 妇女署的协调作用", "11. 大会在第64/289号决议中强调了妇女署的新增作用，即主导和协调联合国系统关于性别平等和增强妇女权能包括性别平等主流化的工作，并促进这方面的问责制(特别是见第53和58段)。虽然所有四个前实体都承担过一定程度的协调工作，但不够全面，也往往缺乏成果问责制。", "12. 妇女署在制定协调战略以在整个联合国系统内加强对性别平等和增强妇女权能工作的领导、协调和问责以及支持性别平等主流化方面取得了进展。该战略建立在现有的联合国性别平等和增强妇女权能工作的协调机制之上，并概述了妇女署通过联合国系统行政首长协调理事会(行政首长理事会)、方案问题高级别委员会、管理问题高级别委员会和机构间妇女和性别平等网络等机制，在联合国全系统开展多级别工作的情况。该战略还说明了妇女署特别是与各区域委员会和区域协调机制合作，在区域一级进行协调的办法。对于国家一级的协调，妇女署将与联合国发展集团和各区域主任小组合作，并直接与联合国国家工作队联系。", "13. 根据大会第64/289号决议第69(b)段，妇女署于2010年秋季成为行政首长理事会的正式成员，这对于妇女署在协调性别平等和增强妇女权能工作中发挥的领导作用具有里程碑意义。妇女署通过参与各相关机制，为整个联合国系统进行促进性别平等和增强妇女权能的战略工作，实现妇女权利和满足妇女需求创造了新机遇。妇女署正在更有力、更系统地重点支持整个联合国系统的性别平等主流化工作。妇女署也参与其他协调机制，包括经济和社会事务执行委员会及和平与安全执行委员会。妇女署继续根据有关的立法授权，提交关于将性别平等观点纳入联合国系统所有政策和方案的主流的进展报告(见经济及社会理事会第2010/29号决议和秘书长2011年5月11日的报告(E/2011/114))。", "14. 机构间妇女和性别平等网络在保证联合国全系统努力取得具体成果方面发挥关键作用。作为该网络的主席兼秘书处，妇女署特别强调加强该网络，以提升其影响力和实效。妇女署增加了对网络年度会议和闭会期间工作的支持，并正在取得切实成果，尤其是这方面的支持与该网络查明整个联合国系统关切的新问题有关，并且是在不断扩大合作的妇女署五个重点专题领域内。网络的各工作队和常设委员会(例如关于妇女与和平与安全和增强妇女经济权能的工作队和常设委员会)，都受益于妇女署特别是在对上述机构的协定和行动建议采取有效后续行动和加以落实方面提供的更多的支持。", "15. 尽管取得了进展，但是要获得有效的协调成果显然需要建立全系统关于性别平等的制度化问责机制。虽然联合国一些实体内存在问责机制，但是还必须有一个共同的问责机制，使整个系统对性别平等工作承担责任。为此，妇女署已着手与联合国系统各实体进行协商，以建立这一机制并提交行政首长理事会核可。", "C. 与民间社会的互动", "16. 四个合并为妇女署的实体与非政府组织和民间社会组织保持良好的关系。根据第64/289号决议第55段，妇女署继续采用与这些组织有效协商的做法，以便在各级促进性别平等和增强妇女的权能。", "17. 妇女署在其政府间支助和战略伙伴关系局内设立了民间社会科，以便与民间社会维持和结成有效伙伴关系并协调和协助非政府组织有意义地参加妇女地位委员会的年度会议。在第五十五届会议期间，妇女署协调安排了来自352个具有经济及社会理事会咨商地位的1 665名非政府组织代表参加会议，包括根据有关规则和惯例，并同其它秘书处服务合作和协调，通过现场登记程序协助出席并处理非政府组织提交的书面和口头材料。具有经济及社会理事会咨商地位的非政府组织也可应执行局的邀请参加与其活动相关的问题的审议(见理事会议事规则第16.3条)。", "18. 妇女署与妇女组织和网络以及其它民间社会组织的互动与合作是其2011-2013年战略计划的关键因素，作为上文所述2011年初实地能力评估的组成部分，与民间社会行为体进行了协商，在2011年1月至4月初关于战略计划的伙伴协商期间，妇女署接触了广泛多样的网络和组织，也与民间社会行为体进行了协商。", "19. 目前，妇女署正在筹划建立一个民间社会咨询小组作为民间社会同妇女署就重大政策问题进行对话的常设机制。目前也在审议如何使区域和国家民间社会机制的构成更能在实地发挥其协商和咨询职能，以及成立以包容态度审议具体关切问题的特设专题工作组。", "三. 过渡安排", "20. 截至2010年底第64/289号决议第81和82段所述的过渡安排已全部成功完成，妇女署可以从2011年1月1日起全面运作。秘书长任命米歇尔·巴切莱特女士(智利)为妇女署首任副秘书长/执行主任。巴切莱特女士于2010年9月19日就职，负责监管四个前实体机构和业务安排、伙伴关系和品牌的合并。四个实体覆盖联合国总部、外地办事处和联络处各地点的资产和负债清单已制作完成，已将四个前实体的所有资产和负债移交妇女署。", "21. 根据大会要求(第64/289号决议第87段)，经济及社会理事会于2010年7月20日解散了提高妇女地位研训所(见理事会第2010/7号决议)。此前大会解散了妇发基金(见第64/289号决议第86段)。", "22. 除了妇女署的结构和组织合并外，位于总部的妇女署工作人员办公地点的合并也进展得十分顺利。已签订了新办公地点(位于220 East 42nd Street)2011年第一季度的租约。目前该地点正在进一步完善中，以遵守安全、防火、环境和建筑法规，并使其适应妇女署的需求。自2011年年初以来，纽约联合国总部大约有30名工作人员被安排在新地点的临时办公区。预计2011年9月位于总部的多数工作人员将搬入新的办公室。", "23. 妇女署信息技术系统的整合工作正在进行之中。所有电子邮件域名已经统一为@unwomen.org。预计妇女署将于2011年7月前完成并入Microsoft exchange邮件系统的迁移工作。桌面软件已经标准化，同版本软件的桌面配套工作正在进行。预计将于2011年推出妇女署的知识管理和统一通讯平台，并于2011年8月前完成新的方案和业务手册。", "24. 过渡期间四个前实体的活动从未中断，以往的业务安排在被新安排适当替代前仍继续采用。例如，在联合国总部，与妇女地位委员会第五十五届会议有关的安排从秘书处的应用程序平稳过渡到妇女署使用的Atlas系统。总部和前提高妇女地位研训所所在地工作人员的薪酬和其他开支安排也在有效过渡，已从2011年1月起通过Atlas系统处理和支付这些费用。", "四. 妇女署的管理", "25. 大会第64/289号决议规定，大会、经济及社会理事会和妇女地位委员会应构成妇女署支助规范制订工作的多层政府间管理结构，并为其提供规范性政策指导。决议还规定大会、理事会和妇女署执行局应构成妇女署业务活动的多层政府间管理结构，并为其提供业务方面的政策指导。另外，妇女地位委员会和妇女署执行局应当紧密合作，为其各自领域提供一致的指导和方向。根据决议，政府间管理结构为妇女署提供指导。", "A. 妇女署执行局", "26. 2010年11月10日，经济及社会理事会根据第64/289号决议选举产生了首届妇女署执行局。妇女署将履行执行局秘书处的职能。", "27. 执行局由41位成员组成，任期三年。[3] 经社理事会决定依照第64/289号决议第60(a)至(e)段从五个区域集团选举产生的35名执行局成员的任期错开安排，以抽签方式第一次选出任期两年和任期三年的成员。依照第64/289号决议第60(f)段，经社理事会还决定选举执行局的6个捐助国，任期三年(见理事会第2010/35号决议和理事会第2010/201 F号决定)。捐助成员国的选举以会员国在有统计数据的2008、2009和2010日历年度向前妇发基金核心预算提供的自愿捐款年平均数清单为依据。该清单由秘书长根据第64/289号决议第62段提供。", "28. 执行局已经采取重大的组织、程序性和实质性行动，以加强妇女署取得成果的能力。选举结束后，执行局于2010年12月15日和22日举行了组织会议，选举产生了主席团，任期一年。在其第一届常会(2011年1月24日至26日)上，执行局通过了其议事规则(见UNW/2011/6)以及由自愿资源供资的2010-2011两年期支助预算(见UNW/2011/8，第2011/1号决定)。", "29. 在其2011年4月8日第一届常会的续会上，执行局通过了妇女署的财务条例(见UNW/2011/8/Add.1，第2011/2号决定)。在其2011年6月27日至30日举行的第一届年会上，执行局审议并核可了妇女署2011-2013年战略计划(见第2011/3号决定)。", "30. 根据大会规定，执行局每年将通过经济及社会理事会实质性会议向大会提交关于其方案和活动的报告。根据其他执行局的惯例，今后这些报告将涵盖一个日历年。2011年，组织会议、第一届常会及其续会和年会的结果将提交给理事会。", "31. 执行局还承担职责，推动关于性别平等主流化和增强妇女权能的业务活动的有效协调和一致性(见第64/289号决议第66段)。2011年2月4日和7日，执行局首次参加了联合国开发计划署(开发署)、联合国人口基金(人口基金)、联合国儿童基金会(儿基会)、妇女署和世界粮食计划署(粮食署)执行局联席会议。关于通过各机构的工作和设想与妇女署开展的合作推动性别平等观点主流化的讨论为执行局成员提供了先机，使其能够与各基金、方案和妇女署的执行首长就未来合作和协调的方向交换意见。各执行局联席年度会议将与经济及社会理事会年度会议业务活动部分一起，为联合国系统内促进性别平等主流化和增强妇女权能的业务工作提供重大机遇。", "B. 妇女地位委员会", "32. 妇女地位委员会为妇女署提供规范性政策指导，妇女署则履行该委员会秘书处的职能。2011年3月14日，委员会成功结束了第五十五届会议，这届会议首次由妇女署提供服务。委员会组织了一次一般性讨论；一次高级别圆桌会议；和五次互动小组讨论。会员国和其他利益攸关方审议了一个优先主题和一个审查主题，并讨论了一个新问题。委员会通过了关于优先主题和几个决议的商定结论。这届会议吸引了许多政府、非政府组织和联合国系统的人员参加。联合国各实体和会员国举办了大约60次并行活动，而非政府组织举办的活动远超过200次。", "33. 妇女署将继续在《北京宣言和行动纲要》，包括12个重大关切领域、大会第二十三届特别会议成果以及相关文书、标准和决议的框架内，支持促进性别平等和增强妇女权能的全球政府间进程。另外，妇女署将参与一系列部门政府间进程，从而在分析过程和结果上加强注意性别观点。", "C. 妇女地位委员会和妇女署执行局之间的工作关系", "34. 大会强调需要建立基于成果的具体报告机制，妇女署的规范制订工作和业务工作之间需要一致、连贯和协调，因此要求妇女地位委员会和妇女署执行局密切合作，以便在各自领域提供一致的指导和指示。大会还要求经济及社会理事会在委员会和执行局之间建立适当具体联系，以确保委员会确定的全面政策指导与执行局核准的业务战略和业务活动一致(见第64/289号决议第67(a)和(b)段)。", "35. 该进程已经启动并正在进行中。妇女署支持有关政府间机构努力执行大会规定的指示。尤其是，2011年1月14日经济及社会理事会主席团与妇女地位委员会第五十五届会议主席团和执行局主席团举行了第一次会议，并展开对话，内容为委员会和执行局之间的关系，以及使两机构间产生有效联系的可能的方法和框架。2月25日，在随后的两主席团会议上，成员们利用良好办法的现成例子，着眼于简单、有效和以结果为导向的互动，就建立工作关系的方法交换了意见。委员会第五十五届会议主席团告知新当选的委员会第五十六届会议主席团在这方面要采取的步骤。", "36. 2011年6月10日，经济及社会理事会主席团在筹备2011年实质性会议时，会见了委员会主席和执行局主席，讨论了第64/289号决议第67段的执行情况。", "D. 大会第64/289号决议第67(c)和(d)段的执行情况", "37. 第67(c)和(d)段要求副秘书长/执行主任每年向妇女地位委员会提交报告，介绍妇女署规范制订工作以及执行委员会提供的政策指导方面的情况；每年提交一份业务活动报告，供执行局审议，并向经济及社会理事会年度实质性会议业务活动部分报告这些活动。", "38. 上述规定向副秘书长/执行主任提供了机会，使其能够向政府间机构全面展现妇女署的工作，以及通过整合其任务和职能而产生的影响和取得的成果。尽管按照该任务规定向妇女地位委员会第五十五届会议提交了第一份报告(E/CN.6/ 2011/2),但是该报告是在妇女署开始运作前完成的，报告侧重于过渡进程的关键方面。今后副秘书长/执行主任根据任务规定提交的报告将认真评估执行委员会规范性指导时的进展、差距和挑战(见第64/289号决议第67(c)段)。同样，按照联合国各基金和方案执行首长的惯例，副秘书长/执行主任将在经济及社会理事会年度实质性会议业务活动部分期间向执行局和理事会报告妇女署的业务活动。该报告将于2012年执行局第一届常会上首次提交给执行局，并接下来在理事会2012年实质性会议上提交给理事会。", "五. 行政管理与人力资源", "39. 为了执行大会第64/289号决议关于妇女署人事问题的第72段内容，秘书长自2011年1月1日起把人力资源管理方面的权力正式授予副秘书长/妇女署执行主任(见ST/SGB/2011/2)。副秘书长/执行主任按照《联合国工作人员条例和细则》实施该项权力，包括通过颁发任用书任命妇女署工作人员。", "40. 2011年3月，秘书长任命拉克希米·普里女士(印度)为主管政府间支助和战略伙伴关系助理秘书长和副执行主任；任命约翰·亨德拉先生(加拿大)为主管政策和方案助理秘书长和副执行主任。2011年1月刊登了6个D-2级高级职位的招聘广告。2011年6月24日宣布了高级管理团队的任命情况。", "41. 创建一个获得战略性人力资源管理支助，充满活力和创造力的组织是妇女署副秘书长/执行主任任职以来的一个优先事项。为了达到这个目标，她建立了双支柱组织结构(政府间支助和战略伙伴关系；以及政策和方案)，将其作为确保实体内部职能和主题联系的最有效方法。该结构整合了规范支助、宣传、协调、业务和能力建设、培训和研究职能，包括交流和同民间社会的外联活动方面的培训和研究，以及调动伙伴关系。该结构还旨在响应促进联合国系统内各个级别间有效协调和一致的任务规定。", "42. 副秘书长/执行主任办公室和管理和行政司对双支柱结构进行补充。该结构已作为2011年订正经常预算的一部分提交给大会，并作为2011年订正支助预算的一部分提交给执行局。已根据新的组织结构图，为妇女署配备了工作人员。", "43. 妇女署致力于打造一支步调一致的职工队伍，旨在成为想要为妇女带来改变的人们的首选任职单位。妇女署正在编制一个全面的人力资源管理框架，在《联合国工作人员条例和细则》规定的范围内提供反应灵敏、高质量的人力资源，以满足妇女署的需求。该框架将支持人力资源规划和政策，组织设计，招聘、人员配置和学习，以及人才、业绩和职工队伍管理。", "44. 四个前联合国实体合并为妇女署是成功打造步调一致的职工队伍的一个重要里程碑。2010年12月至2011年1月对总部职位进行调配，结果在经审议的总部职位中94%的职位调配或匹配成功(159个职位中的150个)。2011年2月4日副秘书长/执行主任宣布了调配结果。", "45. 总部职位的调配工作以2010年12月6日副秘书长/执行主任提出的“合并过程人力资源准则”为基础。人力资源过渡时期工作队包括前妇发基金人力资源中心成员、秘书处人力资源管理厅成员和一位人力资源与改革管理高级专家。该工作队得到开发署人力资源办公室和妇女署过渡时期工作队代表的支持。工作队负责处理人力资源问题并确保所作决定符合工作人员和本组织的最大利益。", "46. 调配工作后是一个竞争性甄选过程，旨在填补总部中的未经调配、新设、空缺和已设立的核心职位，该甄选过程分为两个阶段，向来自内部和外部候选人开放。妇女署人力资源科开设了胜任能力面试技巧专门讲习班，为工作人员参加竞争性甄选提供充分支持。涉及外地职位的合并过程预计于2011年7月启动。", "47. 为加强过渡期间的信息流通和透明度，在工作人员和管理当局的关系中，4个前实体的工作人员由联合国工作人员工会和开发署/人口基金和联合国项目事务厅(项目厅)工作人员代表大会作为其代表参与关于合并过程中的人力资源政策、程序和准则问题的协商。基于以往最佳做法，所有4个前实体都指派工作人员观察员观察和跟进合并过程，向妇女署工作人员通报情况，并在整个执行阶段反映工作人员的反馈意见。", "六. 资金筹措", "A. 经常预算资源", "48. 大会通过关于使用2010-2011两年期经常预算资源的订正提案，其中大会授权妇女署使用此项资源，这是妇女署2011年1月1日成功运作的重要一步。根据大会第64/289号决议第75段，经常预算将为政府间规范制订工作提供所需资金，并由大会核准。订正提案(A/65/531)寻求增加3个由经常预算供资的员额，即从42个员额增加到45个，并寻求核准使用“赠款方式”管理经常预算中妇女署的年度份额。经行政和预算问题咨询委员会审议(A/65/593)后，大会在2010-2011两年期方案预算第37款(妇女署)项下，新设了3个员额(副秘书长、D-2和一般事务(其他职等))。大会还核可采用妇女署经常预算部分的相关赠款安排，并决定在今后的拟议经常预算中，逐个请设由经常预算赠款供资的员额(大会决议第65/259号，第6节)。", "49. 妇女署2012-2013两年期拟议方案预算是根据“方案规划、预算内方案部分、执行情况监测和评价方法条例和细则”(ST/SGB/2000/8)编制的。通过行政和预算问题咨询委员会以及方案和协调委员会提交大会审议的提案(A/66/6(第17款))寻求增加2个方案支助员额，即1个行政干事和1个预算和财务干事，由他们承担先前基本上由经济和社会事务部执行办公室提供的服务。根据第65/259号决议有关规定，下一个2014-2015两年期拟议方案预算将对由经常预算供资的员额的职能进行分析。届时，妇女署将已运作了两年，应能够找到执行其任务、履行职能和满足不断变化的需求的最有效方法。此项分析也将为2014-2015两年期拟议方案预算提供信息。", "50. 成立妇女署、编制2010-2011两年期核准使用的经常预算资源订正提案以及2012-2013年拟议方案预算，还需要对原先指导次级方案2(两性平等问题和提高妇女地位)工作的战略框架进行修订(见A/63/6/Rev.1；A/65/6/Rev.1和A/65/6/Prog.7)。因此，2010-2011和2012-2013两年期订正战略框架将通过方案和协调委员会提交大会，供其第六十六届会议审议，该战略框架反映因成立妇女署而产生的方案各方面的修订情况(A/66/82)。(见大会第65/259号决议，第6节，第10段)。", "51. 根据大会核可采用的妇女署经常预算部分的相关赠款安排，该方式现已得到贯彻。在秘书处方案规划和预算司发出金额为6 957 100美元的拨款通知后，妇女署获准支配大会第六十五届会议核可的2010-2011两年期余额支出。", "B. 支助预算的自愿资源", "52. 此外，妇女署副秘书长/执行主任向执行局提交了关于将自愿资源用于2010-2011两年期支助预算的提案(见第64/289号决议，第77段)。执行局在2011年1月第一届常会上核准了该两年期支助预算(见UNW/2011/8，第2011/1号决定)。", "53. 2010-2011两年期核定支助预算为5 150万美元，这为联合国能够更有效地回应会员国提出的支助要求创造了条件。支助预算中包括在联合国总部增设8个员额，在外地新设24个员额以及将117个外地员额的供资来源从方案预算供资改成支助预算供资。执行局还核准了一笔支助预算补充资金，其中250万美元用于联合国授权的安保费用，30万美元用于引进国际公共部门会计准则和强化Atlas系统，500万美元用于支持改革管理，300万美元用于迁往新的房地和安装相关技术设施。", "54. 执行局2011年第二届常会按计划将于2011年12月5日至7日召开，执行局将在该届常会上审议2012-2013两年期支助预算。下一个两年期支助预算的编制工作将充分考虑执行局有关2011-2013年战略计划的讨论结果。", "55. 根据第64/289号决议第79段，妇女署拟议财务条例和细则经行政和预算问题咨询委员会审查后，由副秘书长/执行主任提交执行局。妇女署执行局根据其第2011/2号决定(见UNW/2011/8/Add.1)，通过了此项财务条例(UNW/2011/5/ Rev.1和Add.1)，该财务条例从即日起与财务细则一并生效。", "C. 向妇女署提供的自愿捐款", "56. 在组建妇女署的过程中，大会强调了确保其经费充足的重要性，并邀请各会员国提供核心、多年、可预测、稳定和可持续的自愿捐款(见第64/289号决议，第80段)。大会清楚认识到，缺乏资源是联合国没有足够能力充分支持实现性别平等和增强妇女权能的主要原因之一。", "57. 在组建一年后，妇女署的资金状况正在持续改善，不过仍面临资源不足的问题。妇女署2011-2013年战略计划是以一定的资源水平为前提，使妇女署有能力取得宏伟的成果，满足期望与需求。因此，妇女署正在制定一项资源调动战略，以实现其宏伟却实际的筹资目标。该战略旨在从会员国获得更多的投资。同时，妇女署正在扩展和深化其资源基础，包括开辟非传统意义上的筹资来源，如私营部门和基金会。根据截止2011年6月1日的认捐额和收到的捐款，2011年非指定用途(核心)资源自愿捐款预计将达到1亿2 500万美元，指定用途(非核心)资源自愿捐款将达到1亿美元，但这一目标的达成需要所有捐款方遵守其书面和口头承诺。", "58. 2011-2013(三年期)年度妇女署总自愿捐款目标(核心、非核心)为12亿美元。2011年年度捐款目标将增加到3亿美元，2012年增加到4亿美元，2013年增加到5亿美元。若可达到此捐款水平，将表明各会员国和其他捐款方承诺解决联合国在促进性别平等和增强妇女权能工作中资源严重不足的问题。此项预测符合秘书长关于妇女署开办阶段年度所需经费约为5亿美元的概算(A/64/588)，但认识到能否满足这一资金需求则取决于会员国的反应。为提高妇女署完成规定的任务的前期核心能力，以及在为妇女提供资源、执行能力和成果之间启动一个良性循环，达到这些目标很有必要。", "59. 财政目标预计2011-2013年非指定用途(核心)自愿资源将达到6亿美元：2011年1.5亿美元，2012年2亿美元，2013年2.5亿美元。该财政目标是基于对以往趋势、2011年已作出的承诺和其它各项认捐的分析。为非指定用途(核心)自愿资源水平确定的这一目标反映了妇女署对达到核心资源和非核心资源间的平衡的承诺。这使各会员国意识到，核心资源因其不附带条件的性质，成为联合国系统发展方面业务活动的基石，其在有效制定财政计划和支持业务活动中不可或缺(见大会第62/208号决议)。", "60. 指定用途(非核心)捐款的目标将达到6亿美元：2011年1.5亿美元，2012年2亿美元，2013年2.5亿美元。非核心捐款预测包括为2个归妇女署管理和经管的信托基金——性别平等基金和联合国消除暴力侵害妇女暴力行为信托基金——筹资。这两个基金支持妇女署的关键优先事项。", "61. 网上登记册已建立，提供有关捐款承诺和接收捐款的信息。(http：//www.

根据大会要求(第64/289号决议，第88段)，扩大妇女署能力的工作正在妇女署副秘书长/执行主任提交执行局提案的基础上有序进行。初步提案已作为2011年订正支助预算的一部分，提交执行局。执行局在其第2011/1号决定中核可将一笔预算准备金作为审议妇女署2011-2013年战略计划前的一项临时措施，通过增加新员额、提升现有员额级别或将供资从方案预算转移到支助预算，加强34个办公室的职能。妇女署将就扩大其能力提出进一步提案，将其作为2012-2013两年期支助预算的一部分。", "63. 妇女署战略的一个基本层面就是设想最终为75个会员国提供一个支助标准范本。基于这一想法，妇女署提出了若国家政府要求扩大其在国家的存在的标准。其关切的领域包括：性别平等状况；国家发展和收入水平；正在发生的冲突和冲突后局势；某一国家的妇女面对的其它不安全问题；某一国家中性别严重不平等问题(见UNW/2011/9，附件四)。2012年妇女署计划加强对另外20个国家的支助，2013年再增加21个国家。为履行其特别关注最不发达国家/低收入国家的承诺，妇女署计划在2013年年底前，通过设立涵盖多国的国家办事处或次区域办事处，支助这些国家。", "七. 总结和结论", "64. 在大会建立妇女署一年之后，妇女署已具备有效运作的核心要素，特别是妇女署执行局建立和开展工作后妇女署的治理结构，重大规划和预算拟定工具的编制以及相关政府间机构就此作出的决定。", "65. 随着妇女地位委员会会议的成功举行，妇女署顺利地承担起支持政府间规范制定工作的责任，并且，妇女署将在整个政府间日程表中，继续落实其规范性支助职能。", "66. 妇女署尤其是在总部建立必要的行政框架和整合工作人员资源方面，取得了长足进展。总部的调配工作即将完成，高级管理团队已经任命。虽然妇女署发起了其外地办事处架构的合并和强化工作，但其在实地的存在尚未完全建立。随着在该领域取得进一步进展，妇女署将能够根据第64/289号决议第51(b)段，在接获会员国要求时，通过开展规范性支助职能和业务活动，为所有区域发展程度不同的所有会员国提供关于性别平等、增强妇女权能和妇女权利以及性别平等主流化的指导和技术支持。", "67. 为实现各项目标而调动必要的资源，这仍然是妇女署面对的一项挑战，但若要满足各利益攸关方的期望，这些资源至关重要。预计的捐助数额到位将发出一个清晰的信号，表明在支持实现性别平等和增强妇女权能方面的政治意愿和承诺。", "68. 虽然有效协调和问责框架的各个构成部分正在得到落实，但为了使该框架能够充分有效地运作，还需进一步详细说明妇女署的作用是领导和协调联合国性别平等工作及促进这方面的问责制。妇女署已扩大了与民间社会的磋商，并建立了支持这种交流的机制。", "69.

[ "Sixty-sixth session", "* A/66/50.", "Item 119 of the preliminary list*", "Follow-up to the outcome of the Millennium Summit", "Strengthening the institutional arrangements for support of gender equality and the empowerment of women", "Report of the Secretary-General", "Summary", "The present report summarizes progress in the implementation of the section of General Assembly resolution 64/289 entitled “Strengthening the institutional arrangements for support of gender equality and the empowerment of women”, by which the Assembly established, as a composite entity, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, known as UN-Women. The report covers progress in regard to general principles; governance of the Entity; administration and human resources; financing; and transitional arrangements.", "I. Introduction", "1. In its resolution 64/289 on system-wide coherence, the General Assembly requested the Secretary-General to submit a progress report to the Assembly at its sixty-sixth and sixty-seventh sessions on the implementation of the section of the resolution entitled “Strengthening the institutional arrangements for support of gender equality and the empowerment of women”. The present report, which is submitted in accordance with that request, summarizes the status of implementation of the above-mentioned section of the resolution, by which the Assembly established, as a composite entity, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, known as UN-Women, and covers general principles; governance of the Entity; administration and human resources; financing; and transitional arrangements.", "2. In the same resolution, the General Assembly further decided to review the work of UN-Women at its sixty-eighth session, and requested the Secretary-General to present to the Assembly at that session a comprehensive report in that regard.", "3. The establishment of UN-Women by the General Assembly was historic, creating a very high level of expectation on the part of all stakeholders for swift and tangible results to strengthen the system-wide capacity of the Organization to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, including the increasing demand from Governments for the support of the United Nations system in advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment.", "II. Overall progress", "A. Establishing the vision, mission and priorities of UN-Women", "4. Since the adoption of resolution 64/289, UN-Women has worked systematically to ensure that it is capable of fully responding to the high expectations that greeted its creation. As a result, a year after the adoption of the resolution, UN-Women has laid a solid foundation for a strong and operationally effective organization to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women. The leadership of the governing bodies, the wide consultations carried out by the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director of UN-Women, the field capacity assessment, the increasing commitment of donors and the progress made in integrating the diverse and committed staff of the constituent entities have all prepared UN-Women for a period of measurable results in the years to come.", "5. Since UN-Women brings together the mandates and functions of the four previous entities engaged in the field of gender equality and the empowerment of women,[1] with an additional coordinating role (see paragraphs 49 and 53 of resolution 64/289), its strategic orientation and procedures have been geared to support an integrated approach to delivering concrete results in three functional areas, namely: (a) expanding demand-driven support to Member States at the national level, in line with national priorities; (b) supporting intergovernmental processes to strengthen the global policy and normative framework for gender equality and its implementation on the ground; and (c) leading, coordinating and promoting the accountability of the United Nations system in its work on gender equality and the empowerment of women. Several key budgetary proposals and planning instruments[2] prepared shortly after its establishment enabled UN-Women to consolidate this integrated approach to the delivery of results. The organization chart of UN-Women was designed to produce the needed synergies and links between functional areas (see paras. 41 and 42 below).", "6. In January 2011, as a first step in defining the workplan for UN-Women, the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director launched her “Vision and 100-day action plan”, which set out the core principles and priorities for the building of a strong organization. Those principles and priorities were subsequently validated in extensive consultations with Member States, entities of the United Nations system, civil society organizations and other stakeholders, and were a stepping stone for the preparation of the UN-Women strategic plan.", "7. The first UN-Women strategic plan, 2011-2013 (see UNW/2011/9), sets out the Entity’s vision, mission and priorities in supporting Member States and other entities of the United Nations system in the achievement of gender equality and women’s empowerment, in accordance with the general principles established in General Assembly resolution 64/289. The plan builds on the momentum for action generated by milestones marked in 2009 and 2010, including the 30-year anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the 10-year anniversaries of the Millennium Declaration and of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) on women and peace and security, and the 15-year review of progress in the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action. The plan also sets out to support Member States in closing the persisting implementation gaps between these global normative and policy commitments and women’s daily realities, in the context of national priorities and in partnership with other stakeholders.", "8. UN-Women used the process of preparing its strategic plan to consult with approximately 5,000 partners, including partners from national Governments, civil society and academia, the United Nations system and international development organizations. The consultations affirmed the Entity’s main thematic areas of focus and helped clarify the needs of stakeholders as well as the expectations of United Nations partners vis-à-vis the role of UN-Women, in particular in regard to coordination and institutional strengthening. The consultations held by the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director of UN-Women with Member States and civil society, including during the fifty-fifth session of the Commission on the Status of Women and the meetings of the Executive Board, as well as her country visits, contributed significantly to shaping the Entity’s strategic orientation.", "9. In preparing for its strategic plan, UN-Women conducted a field capacity assessment as basis for strengthening its capacity to provide coordination, leadership and expertise on the ground in response to national demands. Completion of the assessment was a critical element in clarifying the current state of affairs with regard to the presence of United Nations entities working in support of women’s equality and empowerment in the field and to propose a standard model of support to Member States.", "10. On 30 June 2011, the Executive Board of UN-Women endorsed the UN‑Women strategic plan, 2011-2013 (see decision 2011/3). The strategic plan provides the framework and direction for the support of UN-Women to Member States and its partnerships with women’s organizations and networks, other civil society organizations, academia and experts, the mass media and the private sector; and its efforts to build institutional capacity to undertake the functions laid out in its founding resolution. The framework allows for flexible response to national priorities and needs, in accordance with the requests of Member States and the United Nations system. The unified results framework contained in the strategic plan has three interrelated components, namely: a development results framework; a management results framework; and an integrated resources framework. It focuses on results, indicators and targets that enable UN-Women to measure performance and contributions at national, regional and global levels. The Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director of UN-Women will submit to the Executive Board, beginning at its annual session in 2012, an annual progress report on the strategic plan, 2011-2013, and updates at its regular sessions in 2012 and 2013.", "Vision, mission statement and thematic priorities of UN-Women \nThe vision of UN-Women is that of a world where societies are freeof gender-based discrimination, where women and men have equalopportunities, where the comprehensive economic and socialdevelopment of women and girls is ensured so that they can provideleadership for the changes that they want to see, where genderequality and women’s empowerment are achieved and where women’srights are upheld in all efforts to further development, humanrights, peace and security.\n Mission statement \nGrounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of theUnited Nations, the Entity will work for the elimination ofdiscrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women;and the achievement of equality between women and men as partnersand beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian actionand peace and security. Placing women’s rights at the centre of allits efforts, the Entity will lead and coordinate United Nationssystem efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality andgender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. Itwill provide strong and coherent leadership in support of thepriorities and efforts of Member States, building effectivepartnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.\n Five thematic priorities (a) Expanding women’s leadership and participation; (b) Ending violence against women; (c) Strengthening the implementation of the women and peace andsecurity agenda; (d) Enhancing women’s economic empowerment; \n(e) Making gender equality priorities central to national planningand budgeting at all levels.", "B. The coordination role of UN-Women", "11. In its resolution 64/289 the General Assembly highlighted the additional role of UN-Women in regard to coordination and accountability of the United Nations system on gender equality and women’s empowerment, including on gender mainstreaming (see paras. 53 and 58, in particular). While all four previous entities had undertaken some level of coordination, those efforts were not comprehensive and accountability for results was often lacking.", "12. UN-Women has made progress in developing a coordination strategy to strengthen leadership, coordination and accountability on gender equality and women’s empowerment and support to gender mainstreaming across the United Nations system. The strategy builds on existing United Nations coordination mechanisms on gender equality and the empowerment of women and outlines the work of UN-Women at a number of levels across the United Nations system, through mechanisms such as the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB), the High-Level Committee on Programmes, the High-Level Committee on Management and the Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality. The strategy also covers the Entity’s approach to coordination at the regional level, working in particular with the regional commissions and regional coordination mechanisms. In regard to country-level coordination, UN-Women will work with the United Nations Development Group, regional directors’ teams and directly with United Nations country teams.", "13. UN-Women reached a milestone in assuming its leadership role in coordination for gender equality and women’s empowerment when, in accordance with paragraph 69 (b) of General Assembly resolution 64/289, it became a full member of CEB in the fall of 2010. In its participation in all related mechanisms, UN-Women is creating new opportunities for the United Nations system as a whole to work strategically for the promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment and to address women’s rights and needs. It is placing a stronger and more systematic focus on support for gender mainstreaming across the United Nations system. The Entity also participates in other coordination mechanisms, including the Executive Committee on Economic and Social Affairs and the Executive Committee on Peace and Security. UN-Women continues to report on progress on mainstreaming a gender perspective into all policies and programmes in the United Nations system, in accordance with relevant legislative mandates (see Economic and Social Council resolution 2010/29, and the report of the Secretary-General of 11 May 2011 (E/2011/114)).", "14. The Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality has a key role to play in ensuring that United Nations system-wide efforts deliver concrete results. As the chair and secretariat of the Network, UN-Women places special emphasis on strengthening the Network so as to enhance its impact and effectiveness. Its increased support to the Network’s annual session and intersessional work is already leading to tangible results, especially as it relates to the Network’s identification of emerging issues of concern to the entire United Nations system, as well as in the context of UN-Women’s five thematic areas of focus, where cooperation is expanding. The Network’s task forces and standing committees, for example those on women and peace and security and on women’s economic empowerment, are benefiting from the increased support of the Entity, especially in achieving effective follow-up to and implementation of agreements and action recommendations that emanate from those bodies.", "15. However, despite progress, it is clear that effective results on coordination require an institutionalized system-wide accountability mechanism on gender equality. While accountability mechanisms exist at some United Nations entities, a common mechanism is needed to which the system can be held accountable for work on gender equality. Towards that end, UN-Women has initiated consultations with entities of the United Nations system to develop such a mechanism, for endorsement by CEB.", "C. Interaction with civil society", "16. The four entities that were consolidated to form UN-Women maintained vibrant relationships with non-governmental and civil society organizations. In response to paragraph 55 of resolution 64/289, UN-Women has continued the practice of effective consultation with such organizations in the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women at all levels.", "17. At UN-Women, a Civil Society Section has been created within the Intergovernmental Support and Strategic Partnerships Bureau in order to maintain and forge effective partnerships with civil society and to coordinate and facilitate the meaningful participation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the annual sessions of the Commission on the Status of Women. For the fifty-fifth session, UN-Women coordinated the participation of 1,665 representatives from 352 NGOs in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council, including facilitating attendance through an on-site registration procedure and the processing of the written and oral contributions of the NGOs, in accordance with relevant rules and established practice, in cooperation and coordination with other secretariat services. At the invitation of the Executive Board, NGOs in consultative status with the Council may also participate in its deliberations for questions that relate to their activities (see rule 16.3 of the rules of procedure of the Council).", "18. The engagement and partnership of UN-Women with women’s organizations and networks and other civil society organizations is a key element in its strategic plan, 2011-2013, and civil society actors were consulted as part of the above-mentioned field capacity assessment in early 2011, as well as during the partner consultations on the strategic plan from January to early April 2011, when UN‑Women reached out to a broad and diverse range of networks and organizations.", "19. UN-Women is currently working to establish a civil society advisory group as a standing mechanism for dialogue between civil society and the Entity on key policy issues. The formation of regional and national civil society mechanisms to bring this consultative and advisory function closer to the ground, as well as the establishment of ad hoc thematic working groups to consider specific concerns in an inclusive manner, is also under consideration.", "III. Transitional arrangements", "20. All transitional arrangements outlined in paragraphs 81 to 88 of resolution 64/289 were successfully completed by the end of 2010, thus enabling UN-Women to become fully operational on 1 January 2011. The Secretary-General appointed Ms. Michelle Bachelet (Chile) as the first Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director of UN-Women. Ms. Bachelet, who assumed duty on 19 September 2010, oversaw the consolidation of the institutional and operational arrangements, partnerships and brands of the four previous entities. An inventory of the assets and liabilities of the four former entities covering United Nations Headquarters, field and liaison office locations has been completed and all assets and liabilities have been transferred from the previous four entities to UN-Women.", "21. At the request of the General Assembly (see para. 87 of resolution 64/289), the Economic and Social Council dissolved INSTRAW on 20 July 2010 (see Council resolution 2010/7). The Assembly had already dissolved UNIFEM (see para. 86 of resolution 64/289).", "22. Along with the structural and organizational consolidation of UN-Women, consolidation of office premises of the staff of UN-Women based at Headquarters is progressing well. A lease for new premises (at 220 East 42nd Street) was signed in the first quarter of 2011. The space is being improved to comply with safety, fire, environmental and building codes, and to adapt it to the needs of UN-Women. Since early 2011, some 30 staff members at Headquarters in New York have been located at temporary quarters at the new location. It is expected that most Headquarters-based staff will move to the new offices in September 2011.", "23. Work is well under way to complete the integration of the Entity’s information technology systems. All e-mail domains have been unified to @unwomen.org and the migration of UN-Women into the Microsoft exchange messaging system is expected to be completed by July 2011. Desktop software has been standardized, and desktop alignment to the same software versions is being undertaken. UN‑Women’s knowledge management and unified communications platforms are expected to be rolled out in 2011. A new programme and operations manual is expected to be completed by August 2011.", "24. There was no disruption of activities of the four former entities during the transition as previous operational arrangements continued until their replacement by new arrangements, as applicable. For example, at United Nations Headquarters, arrangements pertaining to the fifty-fifth session of the Commission on the Status of Women were transferred smoothly from Secretariat-based applications to the Atlas-based system used by UN-Women. The payroll and other expenses for staff at Headquarters and at the location of the former INSTRAW were also effectively transitioned and they have been processed and paid through the Atlas-based system since January 2011.", "IV. Governance of UN-Women", "25. General Assembly resolution 64/289 provides that the Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and the Commission on the Status of Women shall constitute the multitiered intergovernmental governance structure for the normative support functions of UN-Women and shall provide normative policy guidance to it, and that the Assembly, the Council and the Executive Board of UN-Women shall constitute the multitiered intergovernmental governance structure for its operational activities, including the provision of operational policy guidance. In addition, the Commission on the Status of Women and the Executive Board of UN-Women are to work closely together to provide coherent guidance and direction in their respective areas. In accordance with the resolution, the intergovernmental governance structure is providing guidance to UN-Women.", "A. Executive Board of UN-Women", "26. On 10 November 2010, in accordance with resolution 64/289, the Economic and Social Council elected the first Executive Board of UN-Women. The Entity serves as the secretariat of the Executive Board.", "27. The Executive Board is composed of 41 members, elected for three-year terms.[3] The Economic and Social Council decided to stagger the term of membership for the 35 members of the Executive Board elected from the five regional groups, pursuant to paragraphs 60 (a) to (e) of resolution 64/289, by the drawing of lots for the first election, for members to serve two-year and three-year terms. It also decided to elect the Executive Board’s six contributing countries, pursuant to paragraph 60 (f) of resolution 64/289, for a three-year term (per Council resolution 2010/35 and Council decision 2010/201 F). The Election of contributing members was based on a list of the average annual voluntary contributions of Member States, in the calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010 to the core budget of the former UNIFEM for which statistical data were available. This list was provided by the Secretary-General in accordance with paragraph 62 of resolution 64/289.", "28. The Executive Board has already taken critical organizational, procedural and substantive actions that are instrumental to the ability of UN-Women to deliver results. Following the elections, the Executive Board held its organizational session on 15 and 22 December 2010 and elected its Bureau for a term of one year. At its first regular session (24 to 26 January 2011), the Executive Board adopted its rules of procedure (see UNW/2011/6) as well as the biennial support budget for 2010-2011 funded from voluntary resources (see UNW/2011/8, decision 2011/1).", "29. At its resumed first regular session on 8 April 2011, the Executive Board adopted the Financial Regulations for UN-Women (see UNW/2011/8/Add.1, decision 2011/2). At its first annual session, from 27 to 30 June 2011, the Executive Board considered and endorsed the UN-Women strategic plan, 2011-2013 (see decision 2011/3).", "30. As mandated by the General Assembly, the Executive Board will report annually on its programme and activities to the Assembly through the Economic and Social Council at its substantive session. These reports will in future cover a calendar year, in accordance with the practice of other executive boards. In 2011, the results of the organizational, first and resumed regular and annual sessions will be submitted to the Council.", "31. The Executive Board has also assumed its function of promoting effective coordination and coherence among operational activities on gender mainstreaming and the empowerment of women (see para. 66 of resolution 64/289). The Executive Board participated for the first time in the joint meeting of the Executive Boards of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)/United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), UN-Women and the World Food Programme (WFP), on 4 and 7 February 2011. The discussion of mainstreaming gender perspectives through the work of the agencies and envisaged collaboration with UN-Women provided members of the Boards with an early opportunity for an exchange of views with the executive heads of the funds and programmes and the Entity on the future direction of cooperation and coordination. Together with the operational activities segment at the annual session of the Economic and Social Council, the yearly joint meeting of the Executive Boards will be a key opportunity for enhancing gender mainstreaming and the empowerment of women in the operational work of the United Nations system.", "B. Commission on the Status of Women", "32. The Commission on the Status of Women provides normative policy guidance to UN-Women, which serves as the secretariat of the Commission. On 14 March 2011, the Commission successfully completed its fifty-fifth session, the first that was serviced by UN-Women. The Commission held a general discussion; a high-level round table; and five interactive panel discussions. Member States and other stakeholders considered a priority and a review theme and discussed one emerging issue. The Commission adopted agreed conclusions on the priority theme and several resolutions. The session attracted large numbers of participants from Governments, NGOs and the United Nations system. United Nations entities and Member States convened some 60 parallel events and there were well over 200 events organized by NGOs.", "33. UN-Women will continue to support the global-level intergovernmental processes on gender equality and the empowerment of women, within the framework of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, including its 12 critical areas of concern, the outcome of the twenty-third special session of the General Assembly and related instruments, standards and resolutions. Furthermore, it will engage with a range of sectoral intergovernmental processes with a view to enhancing attention to gender perspectives in analysis and outcomes.", "C. Working relationship between the Commission on the Status of Women and the Executive Board of UN-Women", "34. Emphasizing the need to establish concrete results-based reporting mechanisms, as well as the need for coherence, consistency and coordination between the normative and operational aspects of the work of UN-Women, the General Assembly requested the Commission on the Status of Women and the Executive Board of the Entity to work closely together to provide coherent guidance and direction in their respective areas. It also requested the Economic and Social Council to establish appropriate and concrete linkages between the Commission and the Executive Board in order to ensure consistency between the overall policy guidance set by the Commission and the operational strategies and operational activities approved by the Executive Board (see paras. 67 (a) and (b) of resolution 64/289).", "35. This process has been initiated and is ongoing. UN-Women has supported the intergovernmental bodies concerned in their efforts to implement the direction provided by the General Assembly. In particular, the Bureau of the Economic and Social Council convened a first meeting with the bureaux of the fifty-fifth session of the Commission on the Status of Women and of the Executive Board on 14 January 2011 to initiate a dialogue on the relationship between the Commission and the Board and on possible modalities and framework for generating effective linkages between the two bodies. At a subsequent meeting of the two bureaux, on 25 February, members exchanged views on the modalities of the working relationship, with a focus on simple, effective and results-oriented interaction, building on existing examples of good practice. The Bureau of the fifty-fifth session of the Commission informed the newly elected Bureau of the fifty-sixth session of the Commission of the steps taken in this regard.", "36. On 10 June 2011, the Bureau of the Economic and Social Council, in preparation for the substantive session of 2011, met with the chairs of the Commission and Executive Board to discuss implementation of paragraph 67 of resolution 64/289.", "D. Implementation of paragraphs 67 (c) and (d) of General Assembly resolution 64/289", "37. In accordance with paragraphs 67 (c) and (d), the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director is requested to submit to the Commission on the Status of Women an annual report on the normative aspects of the work of UN-Women and on its implementation of the policy guidance provided by the Commission, to submit an annual report on operational activities for the consideration of the Executive Board and to report on those activities to the Economic and Social Council during its operational activities segment of its annual substantive session.", "38. This mandate provides an opportunity for the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director to present to the intergovernmental bodies a holistic picture of the work of the Entity and of the impact and results achieved through the integration of its mandates and functions. Although a first report under the mandate was submitted to the fifty-fifth session of the Commission on the Status of Women (E/CN.6/2011/2), it had been finalized before UN-Women became operational and it focused on key aspects of the transition process. The future reports of the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director under the mandate will provide a critical assessment of progress, gaps and challenges in the implementation of the Commission’s normative guidance (see para. 67 (c) of resolution 64/289). Similarly, and following the practice of executive heads of funds and programmes of the United Nations, the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director will report on the operational activities of UN-Women to the Executive Board and to the Economic and Social Council during its operational activities segment of its annual substantive session. Such a report will be submitted for the first time to the Executive Board at its first regular session in 2012, and subsequently to the Council at its substantive session of 2012.", "V. Administration and human resources", "39. For the purpose of implementing paragraph 72 of General Assembly resolution 64/289 on personnel matters relating to UN-Women, the Secretary-General delegated formal authority to the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director of UN-Women, as of 1 January 2011, in matters pertaining to human resources management (see ST/SGB/2011/2). The Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director exercises this authority in accordance with the Staff Regulations and Rules of the United Nations, including the appointment of staff members of UN-Women through the issuance of letters of appointment.", "40. In March 2011, the Secretary-General appointed Ms. Lakshmi Puri (India) as Assistant Secretary-General and Deputy Executive Director for Intergovernmental Support and Strategic Partnerships; and Mr. John Hendra (Canada) as Assistant Secretary-General and Deputy Executive Director for Policy and Programme. Six senior positions at the D-2 level were advertised in January 2011. Senior management team appointments were announced on 24 June 2011.", "41. The creation of a dynamic and innovative organization, supported by strategic human resources management, has been a priority for the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director of UN-Women since she assumed office. Towards that end, she has put in place a two-pillar organizational structure (intergovernmental support and strategic partnerships; and policy and programmes) as the most effective way to ensure functional and thematic links across the Entity. This structure integrates the normative support, advocacy, coordination, operational and capacity development, training and research functions, including those of communications and outreach to civil society, and partnership mobilization. It is also designed to respond to the mandate of promoting effective coordination and coherence within the United Nations system at all levels.", "42. The two-pillar structure is complemented by the Office of the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director and the Division for Management and Administration. This structure was presented to the General Assembly as part of the revised 2011 regular budget and to the Executive Board as part of the revised 2011 support budget. The staffing of UN-Women has already been configured according to the new organization chart.", "43. UN-Women is committed to achieving a cohesive workforce, and aims to become the employer of first choice for those wanting to make a difference for women. UN-Women is developing a comprehensive human resources management framework to deliver responsive and quality human resources that meet the Entity’s requirements within the parameters of the Staff Regulations and Rules of the United Nations. This framework will support human resources planning and policy, organizational design, recruitment and staffing and learning, as well as talent, performance and workforce management.", "44. The consolidation of the four former United Nations entities into UN-Women was a critical milestone in the achievement of a cohesive workforce. An alignment exercise for Headquarters positions, carried out from December 2010 to January 2011, resulted in the alignment, or matching, of 94 per cent of reviewed Headquarters positions (150 out of 159). The Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director announced the outcome of the exercise on 4 February 2011.", "45. The alignment exercise for Headquarters positions was based on human resources guidelines for the consolidation process, which were issued by the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director on 6 December 2010. A human resources transition team included members of the Human Resources Centre of the former UNIFEM, the Office of Human Resources Management of the Secretariat and a senior human resources and change management expert. It was supported by the Office of Human Resources of UNDP and representatives of the UN-Women transition team. The team had responsibility for addressing human resources issues and for ensuring that decisions made were in the best interest of both staff and the Organization.", "46. The alignment exercise was followed by a two-phased competitive selection process which was open to internal and external candidates, to fill unaligned, new, vacant and established core positions at Headquarters. Specialized workshops on competency-based interviewing skills were conducted by the UN-Women Human Resources Section in order to provide adequate support to staff in the competitive selection process. The consolidation process involving field positions is expected to be rolled out in July 2011.", "47. In order to enhance information flow and transparency during the transition, staff of the four previous entities were represented in staff-management relations by the United Nations Staff Union and the Staff Council of UNDP/UNFPA and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) on consultations in regard to human resources policies, procedures and guidelines for the consolidation process. Based on best practices, each of the four previous entities designated staff observers to observe and follow up on the consolidation process, to inform the staff of UN‑Women, and to reflect staff feedback throughout the implementation phase.", "VI. Financing", "A. Regular budget resources", "48. The approval by the General Assembly of the revised proposal for the use of regular budget resources for the biennium 2010-2011, by which it authorized the use of such resources by UN-Women, was a key step towards its successful operationalization on 1 January 2011. In accordance with paragraph 75 of resolution 64/289, the resources required to service the normative intergovernmental processes are provided from the regular budget and approved by the Assembly. The revised proposal (A/65/531) sought an increase of three posts, from 42 to 45, funded from the regular budget; as well as approval of the use of the “grant modality” to administer the annual share of UN-Women from the regular budget. Following consideration by the Advisory Committee for Administrative and Budgetary Questions (A/65/593), the Assembly established three new posts (Under-Secretary-General, D-2 and General Service (Other level)), under section 37 (UN-Women) of the programme budget for the biennium 2010-2011. It also approved the use of a grant arrangement pertaining to the regular budget portion of UN-Women and decided that posts financed by the grant from the regular budget were to be requested on a post-by-post basis in future regular budget proposals (Assembly resolution 65/259, sect. VI).", "49. UN-Women’s proposed programme budget for the biennium 2012-2013 has been prepared in accordance with the Regulations and Rules Governing Programme Planning, the Programme Aspects of the Budget, the Monitoring of Implementation and the Methods of Evaluation (ST/SGB/2000/8). The proposal (A/66/6 (Sect. 17)), which will be before the General Assembly, through the Advisory Committee for Administrative and Budgetary Questions and the Committee for Programme and Coordination, seeks an increase in two posts for programme support, namely one Administrative Officer and one Budget and Finance Officer, for services previously provided largely by the Executive Office of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs. An analysis of the functions of the posts funded from the regular budget will be provided in the next proposed programme budget for the biennium 2014-2015, in accordance with the relevant provisions of resolution 65/259. By that time, UN-Women will have been operational for two years, enabling it to find the most effective ways for delivering its mandates and functions and meeting evolving needs. The analysis will also inform the programme budget proposals for the biennium 2014-2015.", "50. The establishment of UN-Women and the preparation of the revised proposal for the use of regular budget resources approved for the biennium 2010-2011 and the proposed programme budget for 2012-2013 also necessitated a revision of the strategic framework that had previously governed the work of subprogramme 2, Gender issues and advancement of women (see A/63/6/Rev.1; A/65/6/Rev.1 and A/65/6 (Prog. 7)). Consequently, a revised strategic framework for the bienniums 2010-2011 and 2012-2013, reflecting the revision of the programmatic aspects arising from the creation of UN-Women through the Committee for Programme and Coordination, will be before the Assembly for its consideration at its sixty-sixth session (A/66/82) (see sect. VI, para. 10 of General Assembly resolution 65/259).", "51. Pursuant to the approval by the General Assembly of the use of a grant arrangement pertaining to the regular budget portion of UN-Women, this modality is now being implemented. Following issuance of an allotment advice of $6,957,100 by the Programme Planning and Budget Division of the Secretariat, UN-Women has authorized expenditures for the balance of the biennium 2010-2011 as approved by the Assembly at its sixty-fifth session.", "B. Voluntary resources for the support budget", "52. Additionally, the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director of UN-Women submitted to the Executive Board a proposal for the use of voluntary resources for the support budget for the biennium 2010-2011 (see para. 77 of resolution 64/289). The biennial support budget was approved by the Board at its first regular session in January 2011 (see UNW/2011/8, decision 2011/1).", "53. The approved support budget for the biennium 2010-2011 of $51.5 million sets the stage for a more effective United Nations response to the requests for support from Member States. It includes an additional eight posts located at United Nations Headquarters, 24 new posts in the field and a change in the funding source from programme budget funding to support budget funding for 117 field posts. The Executive Board also approved additional funding for the support budget in the amount of $2.5 million to cover United Nations-mandated security costs, $0.3 million for costs related to the adoption of the International Public Sector Accounting Standards and enhancement of the Atlas system, $5 million to support change management and $3 million for the move to new premises and related technological installation.", "54. The Executive Board will consider the support budget for the biennium 2012-2013 at its second regular session of 2011, scheduled to take place from 5 to 7 December 2011. Preparation of the support budget for the next biennium will take the results of the Executive Board’s discussions on the strategic plan, 2011-2013, fully into account.", "55. Pursuant to paragraph 79 of resolution 64/289, the proposed financial regulations and rules of UN-Women were submitted by the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director to the Executive Board, following review thereof by the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions. By its decision 2011/2 (see UNW/2011/8/Add.1), the Executive Board of UN-Women adopted the Financial Regulations (UNW/2011/5 and Rev.1 and Add.1) and they became effective, along with the Financial Rules, as of that date.", "C. Voluntary contributions to UN-Women", "56. In establishing UN-Women, the General Assembly stressed the need to ensure adequate funding for the Entity and invited Member States to provide core, multi‑year, predictable, stable and sustainable voluntary contributions (see para. 80 of resolution 64/289). The Assembly thus clearly recognized the lack of resources as one of the main gaps in the ability of the United Nations system to effectively support the achievement of the goal of gender equality and women’s empowerment.", "57. One year after its establishment, the resource situation of UN-Women is improving, although the Entity remains under-resourced. The UN-Women strategic plan, 2011-2013, is premised on a resource level that will enable it to achieve ambitious results and meet expectations and needs. The Entity is therefore putting in place a resource mobilization strategy to reach its ambitious but realistic funding targets. The strategy aims to achieve significantly larger investments from Member States. At the same time, UN-Women is working to expand and deepen its resource base, including by tapping non-traditional funding sources such as the private sector and foundations. Based on pledges made and contributions received as of 1 June 2011, voluntary contributions to unearmarked (core) resources are expected to reach $125 million, and contributions to earmarked (non-core) resources are expected to reach $100 million in 2011. This will require that all written and verbal pledges are kept.", "58. Targets for total voluntary contributions (core and non-core) to UN-Women for the 2011-2013 period (3 years) amount to $1.2 billion. The target for annual contributions is to increase to an amount of $300 million in 2011, $400 million in 2012 and $500 million in 2013. Reaching this level of contributions will signal the commitment of Member States and other contributors to addressing the severe under-resourcing of the work of the United Nations for gender equality and women’s empowerment. The projections are consistent with the Secretary-General’s estimation (A/64/588) of the funding requirement for the start-up phase of UN‑Women at approximately $500 million annually, acknowledging that meeting this funding requirement would depend on the response of Member States. Reaching these targets is needed in order to front-load core capacity for UN-Women to respond to mandates and to set in motion a virtuous circle between resources, capacity to deliver and results achieved for women.", "59. The financial targets project that voluntary unearmarked (core) resources will reach $600 million for 2011-2013: $150 million in 2011, $200 million in 2012 and $250 million in 2013. The financial targets builds on an analysis of past trends, commitments already made in 2011 and other pledges. The target for the level of voluntary unearmarked (core) resources reflects the commitment of UN-Women to attain a favourable balance between core and non-core resources. This draws on the recognition by Member States that core resources, because of their united nature, constitute the bedrock of the operational activities for development of the United Nations system and are required for effective financial planning and efficient support to operational activities (see General Assembly resolution 62/208).", "60. The target for contributions to earmarked (non-core) resources is set to reach $600 million: $150 million in 2011, $200 million in 2012 and $250 million in 2013. The projections for non-core contributions include funding for the two trust funds managed and administered by UN-Women, the Fund for Gender Equality and the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. These funds support key priorities of UN-Women.", "61. An online registry has been created to provide information on contributions pledged and received (http://www.unwomen.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ 2011_pledges_UN_Women_core_resources.pdf). The registry was established in response to resolution 64/289 and aims to ensure that reporting on funding is transparent and that information is easily accessible to Member States.", "D. Expansion of the capacity of UN-Women", "62. As directed by the General Assembly (resolution 64/289, para. 88), the expansion of the capacity of UN-Women is proceeding on the basis of proposals by the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director of UN-Women to the Executive Board. Initial proposals were submitted to the Board as part of the revised support budget for 2011. In its decision 2011/1, the Executive Board endorsed a budgetary provision as an interim measure pending the consideration of the UN-Women strategic plan, 2011-2013, for strengthening of a total of 34 offices, through the creation of new posts, the upgrading of existing posts or the transfer of funding from programme to support budget. UN-Women will be submitting further proposals for expansion of its capacity as part of the biennial support budget 2012-2013.", "63. An essential dimension of the strategy of UN-Women is the vision of eventually offering a standard model of support to Member States in 75 countries, and, with this in mind, the Entity has proposed criteria for expanding its national presence, based on requests from individual Governments. The areas of concern include: the situation of gender equality; national development and income levels; active conflict and post-conflict situations and other kinds of insecurity faced by women in a given country; and high levels of inequality within a given country (see UNW/2011/9, annex IV). UN-Women aims to strengthen its support to an additional 20 countries in 2012, and to another 21 in 2013. In keeping with its commitment to pay special attention to the least developed countries/low income economies, UN‑Women aims to cover them through country or subregional offices with multi‑country coverage by the end of 2013.", "VII. Summary and conclusions", "64. One year after the establishment of UN-Women by the General Assembly, the core elements for the effective functioning of the Entity are in place. This is in particular the case in regard to the Entity’s governance structure with the establishment and conduct of business of the UN-Women Executive Board and the preparation of key planning and budgeting instruments and decisions thereon by the relevant intergovernmental bodies.", "65. UN-Women has smoothly assumed its responsibilities of supporting intergovernmental normative processes with the successful session of the Commission on the Status of Women and it will continue to exercise its normative support function throughout the intergovernmental calendar.", "66. UN-Women has made excellent progress in putting in place the necessary administrative frameworks and consolidating its staff resources, especially at Headquarters. The completion of the alignment process at Headquarters is imminent and the senior management team has been appointed. While UN-Women has initiated the consolidation and strengthening of its field office structure, it is yet to fully establish its presence on the ground. With further progress in this area, UN‑Women will be able to provide, through its normative support functions and operational activities, guidance and technical support on gender equality, the empowerment and rights of women and gender mainstreaming to all Member States, across all levels of development and in all regions, at their request, pursuant to paragraph 51 (b) of resolution 64/289.", "67. The mobilization of necessary resources for achieving its goals remains a challenge, but such resources are critical if UN-Women is to deliver on the expectations of stakeholders. The availability of the projected contributions will send a clear signal of political will and commitment of support to the realization of gender equality and the empowerment of women.", "68. While the components of an effective coordination and accountability framework are being put in place, further elaboration of the role of UN-Women in leading, coordinating and promoting the accountability of the United Nations work for gender equality is needed in order for the framework to become fully effective. UN-Women has expanded its consultations with civil society, and is putting mechanisms in place to support such interaction.", "69. As mandated by the General Assembly, a further progress report on the implementation of the relevant part of resolution 64/289 will be submitted to the Assembly at its sixty-seventh session. At its sixty-eighth session, the Assembly will review the work of UN-Women on the basis of a comprehensive report.", "[1] The Office of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women and the Division for the Advancement of Women of the Secretariat; the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (INSTRAW).", "[2] These were: the revised proposal for the use of regular budget resources for the normative support of UN-Women (A/65/531); proposals for the use of voluntary resources for the support budget for the biennium 2010-2011 (UNW/2011/3); the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2012-2013 (A/66/6 (Sect.17)); and the UN-Women strategic plan, 2011-2013 (UNW/2011/9).", "[3] The composition is as follows: (a) 10 from African States (Angola, Cape Verde, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Lesotho, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Nigeria and the United Republic of Tanzania); (b) 10 from Asian States (Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Republic of Korea and Timor‑Leste); (c) 4 from Eastern European States (Estonia, Hungary, the Russian Federation and Ukraine); (d) 6 from Latin American and Caribbean States (Argentina, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada and Peru); (e) 5 from Western European and other States (Denmark, France, Italy, Luxembourg and Sweden); and (f) 6 from contributing countries (Mexico, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Spain, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America)." ]

As a result, after one year of adoption of the resolution, the development of a strong and effective organization that promotes gender equality and the empowerment of women has provided a solid foundation. The leadership of the governing bodies, the extensive consultations carried out by the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director, the assessment of capacity in the field, the growing commitment of contributions and the progress made in the integration of all categories of faithful staff of the four constituent entities are ready for measurable results during the next few years.", "The strategic approach and procedures have been focused on supporting a comprehensive approach to achieving concrete results in three functional areas, namely: (a) scaling up support to Member States at the national level, based on national priorities and needs-driven priorities; (b) supporting intergovernmental processes, strengthening global policy and normative frameworks on gender equality and its implementation on the ground; and (c) leading and coordinating the United Nations system's work on gender equality and promoting accountability in this regard. Several of the main proposed budget and planning tools developed shortly after the establishment of the cell were established to consolidate this integrated approach to achieving results. The design of the map of the organizational structure is to generate the necessary synergies and linkages among the various functional areas (see paras. 41 and 42 below).", "In January 2011, the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director launched the concept and hundreds of action plan as a first step towards the development of a plan of work, which sets out the core principles and priorities of the strong organization. These core principles and priorities were subsequently recognized in extensive consultations with Member States, entities of the United Nations system, civil society organizations and other stakeholders, and paved the way for the formulation of the strategic plan.", "In accordance with the general principles of General Assembly resolution 64/289, the first strategic plan, namely the strategic plan for the period 2011-2013 (see UNW corrections9), established the vision, mandate and priorities of Member States and other entities of the United Nations system that support gender equality and the empowerment of women. The strategic plan builds on the commemoration of the thirtieth anniversary of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in 2009 and 2010, the commemoration of the Millennium Declaration and Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) on women, peace and security, and the momentum generated by these landmark activities, such as the 15-year review of progress in the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action. It also recognizes the support of Member States in the context of national priorities and in cooperation with other stakeholders to eliminate the long-standing gap between global normative commitments and policy commitments and women's everyday realities.", "In preparing the strategic plan, consultations were held with about 5,000 partners, including Governments, civil society and academia, the United Nations system and international development organizations. The consultations confirmed the main thematic areas of focus and helped to clarify the needs of stakeholders and the expectations of United Nations partners in particular in coordinating and strengthening institutional work. The Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director's consultations with Member States and civil society, including during the fifty-fifth session of the Commission on the Status of Women and the sessions of the Executive Board, as well as her visits to countries, have contributed significantly to the development of the Strategic Approach.", "In the formulation of the strategic plan, field capacity assessments have been carried out on the basis of strengthening the capacity of countries to respond to their needs on the ground to provide coordination, leadership and expertise. The completion of this assessment is a key element of a clear understanding of the status of United Nations entities involved in supporting gender equality and empowering women in the field and of a standard support model for Member States.", "On 30 June 2011, the Executive Board approved the strategic plan for 2011-2013 (see decision 2011/3). The strategic plan provides framework and guidance to support Member States, as well as partnerships with women's organizations and networks, other civil society organizations, scholars and experts, the mass media and the private sector, and seeks to build institutional capacity to fulfil the functions set out in the resolution. The framework could be flexible in responding to national priorities and needs, as requested by Member States and the United Nations system. The harmonized results framework presented in the strategic plan includes three interrelated components: development results framework; management of results frameworks; and integrated resource frameworks. Its focus is on measuring achievements, indicators and objectives of performance and contributions at the national, regional and global levels.

While all four previous entities have assumed a degree of coordination, there is a lack of comprehensive and often a lack of results-based accountability.", "Progress has been made in developing a coordinated strategy to strengthen leadership, coordination and accountability for gender equality and women's empowerment throughout the United Nations system and in supporting gender mainstreaming. The strategy builds on existing coordination mechanisms for gender equality and empowerment of women and outlines the implementation of multi-level work across the United Nations system through mechanisms such as the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB), the High-level Committee on Programmes, the High-level Committee on Management and the Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality. The strategy also outlines ways to coordinate at the regional level, in particular with the regional commissions and regional coordination mechanisms. Coordination at the country level will work with the United Nations Development Group and the regional directors' teams and directly with the United Nations country team.", "In accordance with paragraph 69 (b) of General Assembly resolution 64/289, successive membership of the Chief Executives Board in the autumn 2010 is a milestone in the leadership role played in coordinating gender equality and empowering women.

At the same time, gold is expanding and deepening its resource base, including the creation of non-traditional sources of funding, such as the private sector and foundations. According to pledges and contributions received as at 1 June 2011, voluntary contributions for non-earmarked (core) resources in 2011 are expected to amount to $150 million, while voluntary contributions for earmarked (non-core) resources will amount to $1 billion, the achievement of which requires all donors to comply with their written and oral commitments.", "The total voluntary contributions target (core, non-core) for 2011-2013 (TC) is $1.2 billion. Annual contributions target will increase to $300 million in 2011, an increase of $400 million in 2012 and an increase of $500 million in 2013. If this level of contribution could be met, it would be clear that Member States and other donors committed themselves to addressing the serious shortfall in the resources of the United Nations in promoting gender equality and empowering women. This forecast is in line with the Secretary-General's proposed budget for approximately $500 million for the start-up phase (A/64/588), but it is recognized that meeting this funding needs depends on the response of Member States. It would be necessary to achieve those goals by raising the pre-primary capacity to fulfil the mandate set out in the paper and by initiating a virtuous cycle between the provision of resources, implementation and results for women.", "The financial objective is projected to reach $600 million in non-earmarked (core) voluntary resources for 2011-2013: $150 million in 2011, $200 million in 2012 and $250 million in 2013. The financial objective is based on an analysis of past trends, commitments made in 2011 and other pledges. The goal set for non-earmarked (core) voluntary resource levels reflects commitments to achieve balance between core and non-core resources. This makes Member States aware that core resources are the cornerstone of the operational activities for development of the United Nations system because of their untied nature and are indispensable in the effective formulation of financial plans and in supporting operational activities (see General Assembly resolution 62/208).", "The target of earmarked (non-core) contributions will amount to $600 million: $150 million in 2011, $200 million in 2012 and $250 million in 2013.

"联合国项目事务厅(项目厅)2012-2013两年期预算估计数共计1.487亿美元。这些资源将用于执行项目厅2010-2013年战略计划(DP/2009/36)。项目厅认识到收入预测具有很大的不确定性，继续审慎地进行预算编制，因此目标是做到该两年期管理资源的零实际增长。这反映出项目厅注重成本效益。", "就项目厅而言，在当前所处的组织成熟阶段，得到充分补充的业务准备金是一个重要衡量尺度，显示该机构作为联合国一个完全自筹资金的服务提供者在财务上的可持续性及其经营模式的可行性。", "在2012年过渡到国际公共部门会计准则(公共部门会计准则)加大了本预算的编制难度。据估计，采用公共部门会计准则将对2012-2013年实际净收入带来约1 300万美元的影响，主要原因是对收入的确认延迟。", "根据这些预算估计数，项目厅力图实现一个非常高远的目标：尽管由于实行公共部门会计准则而进行的会计处理方法对实际结果会产生影响，但是将创造充足的留量，使2013年底的业务准备金保持在最低要求之上。这意味着在计及公共部门会计准则所带来的影响和经常经费之后，下一个两年期的目标是净收入为零。", "项目厅的预算格式与开发署、人口基金和儿童基金会统一实行的成果预算制方法相一致。列报方式围绕的是项目厅管理成果框架，目的是按照项目厅战略计划，增进和保持项目厅对联合国及其伙伴的贡献。", "预算估计数支持以提高项目厅效率和成效为目的的重要优先事项。项目厅的管理和执行支助做法是根据特定领域的伙伴提出的要求制定的，继续加强这些做法仍然属于优先事项。通过不断作出改进以及提高透明度和加强问责制，为提高项目厅所交付成果的质量进行了努力，这些努力体现在进一步采用国际最佳做法标准当中。资源还将用于使项目厅能够更好地帮助伙伴加强在项目厅任务领域和核心能力范围内的执行能力。", "决定要点",

项目厅作出贡献的方式是扩充联合国系统及其伙伴的能力，以便实施对于困境中的人们十分重要的建设和平、发展和人道主义行动。在此过程中，指导项目厅工作的是三年度全面政策审查和其后大会进行的政策审查。执行局最近通过的第2009/25号和第2010/21号决定廓清了项目厅的任务。", "3. 大会第65/176号决议重申了执行局第2009/25号决定所载项目厅的任务，即“项目厅向联合国系统各机构、基金和方案、国际和区域金融机构、政府间组织、捐助国和受援国政府以及非政府组织提供服务……项目厅是联合国系统在采购与合同管理以及土木工程和有形基础设施发展，包括相关能力建设活动方面的核心资源。”", "业务成果确定了项目厅为伙伴的成果做出贡献的领域", "4. 项目厅2010-2013年战略计划(DP/2009/36)于2009年获得核准，将计划所涉期间与重要联合国伙伴的相一致。战略计划列有由四项贡献目标组成的项目厅业务成果框架，确定了项目厅可以为伙伴的成果做出贡献的各个领域，并列出了与项目厅的业务有关的三个跨领域问题。", "(a) 项目厅的贡献目标：", "1. 在冲突后重建和平与稳定", "2. 受自然灾害影响的社区的尽早恢复", "3. 民众发展经济和获得社会服务的能力", "4. 环境可持续性和适应气候变化", "(b) 跨领域的业务问题：", "1. 性别平等和妇女赋权", "2. 国家能力建设", "3. 环境可持续性", "战略计划提出了项目厅为努力实现其愿景而采取的步骤：“通过具备世界级标准的质量、速度和成本效益的管理服务始终满足伙伴的需要”。战略计划的一个重要的相关特点是将项目厅工作的重点放在它能为伙伴的成果做出最大贡献的领域，这样又有助于在这些领域的业务上具有出色业绩。大会进一步确认了上述愿景的要旨，大会第65/176号决议确认了“联合国项目事务厅可以在项目管理、人力资源、财务管理和共同/共享服务等领域向发展伙伴提供具有成本效益的高效服务，因此可能带来增值”。", "5. 项目厅2007-2009年业务战略的重点是通过提高客户的满意度，采用世界级的业务做法和执行手段以及增进工作人员队伍的能力和干劲来重建财务稳定性。本战略计划就是根据在执行该业务战略过程中所取得的经验教训制定的。", "6. 到目前为止已经取得不少成绩：项目厅已经成为联合国国家工作队的一个积极而又更受欢迎的成员；财务可行性已经连续五年得到证明；问责制和透明度得到加强，风险管理、内部控制和监督也得到加强。项目厅在2008-2009年期间获得了无保留外部审计意见，在2009年底达到了业务准备金最低要求，这比2010-2011预算估计数中所列目标提前了两年。因此，项目厅为完成2006年以来一直进行的对本单位进行财务清理的任务取得了重大进展。仍然有待解决的问题涉及历史上的负债，项目厅正在与有关方面进行系统性合作，以解决这些问题。", "管理成果有助于保持和增进对联合国和其他伙伴的贡献", "7. 在取得上述成绩的基础上，2010-2011预算估计数将一些战略举措列为优先事项，这些举措的目的是提高项目厅的效率和成效，增进对伙伴成果的贡献。它们包括根据世界级标准不断改进业务作法，为实行公共部门会计准则做准备，采取其他措施，进一步提高透明度和加强问责制。优先事项还包括加强项目管理，将其作为向世界各地的人员提供政策指导、工具和培训的一个业务领域，以及加强项目厅重点领域的知识管理，并使项目厅能够更好地在其任务领域内帮助建设国家执行能力。", "8. 根据战略计划中所显示的雄心，项目厅着手对核心管理职能、业务流程和人员进行外部认证。2011年6月，通过开展这项工作，项目厅取得了久负盛名的ISO 9001质量管理系统认证。项目厅是全球管理系统取得ISO 9001认证的第一个联合国组织。作为这项工作的一部分，项目厅在其做法和质量管理系统中记载了核心业务做法。在2011年进行的一系列ISO评估过程中，项目厅展现出该单位一贯在各级遵循和完善这些流程。", "9. 2011年，项目厅被正式授予英国皇家采购与供应学会采购政策和程序认证。这是一项重大成就，项目厅目前是获得这项殊荣的唯一的一个联合国机构。这项认证表明，项目厅的采购政策、流程和程序是稳健的，而且得到独立机构的核查和监督。", "10. 上述认证表明项目厅的伙伴可以从达到国际领先标准的业务做法中获得什么样的益处。项目厅将继续优先开展这些工作，提高并展现其工作方式的质量、速度和成本效益。预计这些工作将继续在项目厅所交付成果的质量方面产生效益，并在当前和今后的预算估计数中的收入和支出情况方面产生效益。", "11. 2010-2013年战略计划所列明的项目厅管理成果框架反映出，项目厅作为自筹资金的组织，为保持和加强自身对联合国及其伙伴作出贡献的能力而必须努力实现的成果。预算估计数的列报是围绕这一框架进行的，这一框架已经经过更新，以便能够有效地执行和宣传项目厅管理战略。为改进工作方法，项目厅将继续研究自身在执行成果预算编制和成果管理制的过程中取得的经验教训，并学习开发署、人口基金和儿童基金会等机构的经验。", "12. 为此，作为其2011年年度报告的一部分，项目厅计划列入关于其战略计划的评估结果。借此机会，可以进一步探讨项目厅将如何为伙伴创造更大的价值，同时对自身进行战略定位，以便在今后若干年内一直做到与时俱进。", "二. 财务背景", "13. 本节首先概括中期财务结果和2010-2011两年期预测，然后概述2012年向公共部门会计准则过渡引起的与预算有关的主要问题，再介绍这些预算估计数的编制流程。随后将列报2012-2013年两年期的预测以及业务准备金的现状和预期发展。", "2010-2011两年期的预测表明，实现了净收入目标", "14. 如2010年年度报告中提出的财务要点所示，在2010-2011两年期的中点，项目厅已可望实现该两年期的净收入目标。项目厅在2010年的收入毛额大量增长，管理支出则保持在2009年水平，这归功于项目厅一贯注重成本效益。", "15. 项目厅通过管理信息系统，不断监测成果，并按照目标实时监测财务表现。项目厅在2011年头几个月得到的业务和交付的产出都有所减少，原因可能是伙伴的预算受金融危机影响。项目厅将继续进行审慎管理，确保即使在收入趋势可能下降的情况下，继续保持财政可持续性。会计规定的结果特别难于预先估计，因为在许多情况下，这需要与伙伴组织商定协议，与承包商经仲裁解决纠纷，或由捐助者做出财政承诺。", "16. 在编制预算时，需要作出一定的假设，预测下一个两年期的期初结余。在此基础上，项目厅有理由相信，它将达到或超过2010年-2011两年期的净收入目标。", "17. 项目厅2010-2011年的实际财务表现将列入经认证的两年期财务报表，取决于直到2011年最后一天的收入和开支。实际财务表现还将取决于为历史负债确定的注销额或坏账备抵。实际的结果和对未来规划产生的任何影响将在2012年向执行局汇报。", "向公共部门会计准则的过渡延迟了收入确认，改变了资产处理办法", "18. 2012年引进公共部门会计准则给会计带来的影响很难评估，因此需要进行密切监测和精心管理。据目前估计，由于从联合国系统会计准则过渡到公共部门会计准则，将给2012-2013年实际净收入带来大约1 300万美元的影响，主要是由于根据公共部门会计准则延迟确认收入和对资产的处理办法有所不同。", "19. 通过比较项目厅目前根据联合国系统会计准则使用的会计方法与将根据公共部门会计准则使用的会计方法，会清楚看到，联合国系统会计准则下的一些收入本将算在2012-2013两年期，但现在则要算在下一个两年期。2012-2013年收入所受负面影响估计为1 200万美元——这是一次性影响，不会影响2013年后的两年期的结果。", "20. 根据公共部门会计准则，项目厅的行政资产将不再于购置的时候全额归入支出，而将在整个有用年限期间资本化和折旧。这一会计方法变化所产生的净效应估计将使2012-2013两年期的成本增加100万美元。", "预算编制和执行反映实地的现实情况", "21. 为确保得到认同和反映“实地”的现实情况，项目厅所有区域办事处都参与了预算估计数的编制。收入预测是通过双管齐下的过程得出的：在全组织层面，预测的依据是分析过去的表现以及高级管理人员的假设。除这项分析之外，还进行了自下而上的工作，要求各区域提供关于收入最大来源的预测以及关于可能发生重大变化的方面的预测。这两种情景预测得出的汇总结果几乎相同，这让人放心地认为，在当前，这些估计数是能够得到的最准确预测。", "22. 依照组织结构，预算的执行将分散到各区域办事处、业务中心、项目中心和组群，由其负责达成年度目标协议。对于组织结构内各实体的地位，也将根据年度目标设定情况以及实施过程中的审查和调整来加以修订。", "23. 监测和报告预算执行情况是项目厅全面绩效管理体系的一个必要组成部分。对数据进行收集和分析，以便报告各级数据，包括关于核心活动和机构职能、整个组织以及不同区域和实体的数据。", "24. 为具有必要的灵活性，以满足伙伴对项目厅服务不断变化的需求，财务条例第14.02条授权执行主任在核准的两年期管理预算内调配资金，增减资金，包括增减人员配置表上的员额数；不过，条件是要实现执行局设立的两年期净收入目标。", "2012-13两年期预测表明收费减少，总收入稳定", "25. 项目厅的性质是一个完全自筹资金的服务提供者，这使得交付服务的预测有很大的不确定性，因此，用于为项目厅预算出资的收入也很不确定。在编制2012-2013年预算估计数时，项目厅大多数伙伴面临资金限制。鉴于此，项目厅在编制预算时比较保守。", "26. 项目厅参与的每项活动都必须自己支付全部费用，包括直接费用、对本拟议预算所列所有项目厅职能的本机构管理费用的出资和业务准备金出资，后者将用作管理财务风险和负债的缓冲资金。如果业务准备金继续得到充分补充，所有历史负债一旦全部付清，项目厅可减少其执行服务收费，使其低于当前水平，目前往来业务服务，如标准的采购，最低收费是4%，；项目执行服务最低收费是7%。最近已把平均收费逐渐减少到2010年的约5.61%，2009年则为5.68%。对于下一个两年期，预计平均收费将继续减至5.5%，略低于2009年和2010年实际水平的平均数。实际费率将取决于预算期间内实际提供的服务的数量和组成。", "图二 预算估计数占2012-2013年开支总额比例", "[]", "27. 2012-2013两年期，总收入毛额目标是1.487亿美元，其中包括1.185亿美元的项目执行服务估计收入，咨询和往来业务服务2 020万美元，杂项收入1 000万美元。项目执行服务估计收入是考虑了该两年期由于执行公共部门会计准则而延迟确认的收入1 200万美元。图三把这些预测与过去的表现进行了比较。图中值得注意的是，2010-2011年的收入是2010年实际数和2011年估计数的结合，2012-2013年的数据则是自预算估计数；其他年份的数据则为实际数。", "28. 鉴于2012年向公共部门会计准则过渡预计将产生重大会计影响，加起来的负面影响总计1 300万美元，项目厅计划在该两年期内对业务准备金实行零净出资。据估计，业务准备金在两年期结束时仍将高于执行局确定的目标。第四节阐述了2012-2013年管理预算的费用估计数。", "图三 收入毛额趋势，按收入来源分析", "(百万美元)", "业务准备金的最低要求，为今后的不确定做准备", "29. 作为一个完全自筹资金的组织，项目厅的业务准备金要高于最低要求，以作为安全缓冲，防备收入预测和公共部门会计准则执行后果引起的不确定性，并作为本预算期间之后的投资，如最终替换本组织的企业资源管理系统。", "30. 业务准备金最低要求的依据是，最近3年业务的管理预算和项目支出滚动平均数的4%。项目厅在2009年底达到了业务准备金要求，比2010-2011两年期预算估计数所列目标提前了两年。因此，2010-2011年期间业务准备金的期初余额为4 270万美元，比最低要求高60万美元。", "31. 如年度报告所载中期财务结果所示，2010年底业务准备金为5 670万美元。目前估计，2010-2011两年期结束时的期末余额将是5 700万美元，比当时的最低准备金要求高1 000万美元。值得注意的是，2011年财务结果仍有很大不确定性，实际数字预计将不同于此时的估计数。", "32. 通过这些预算估计数，项目厅雄心勃勃，力求在2010-2011年和2012-2013年积累足够的留量，这样，即使与公共部门会计准则相关的会计处理方法产生重大影响，到2013年年底，业务准备金将继续高于执行局规定的最低要求。鉴于今后几年交付和收入的潜在波动，实现这一目标将需要精心的财务管理。", "33. 在整个预算期间，项目厅将认真监测收入和支出情况，根据财务条例第14.02条对预算进行必要的上下调整，使管理开支符合不断变化的现实。如果出于此原因或其他原因，净收入目标未能实现，项目厅将根据财务条例第22.02条，按照拟定用途减少业务准备金。", "34. 在这种背景下，因向公共部门会计准则过渡，项目厅计划在2012年审查业务准备金和规定的最低要求以及其他事项。关于业务准备金及其拟定用途的补充资料载于本文件附件二中的技术说明。", "三. 管理成果和预算框架", "35. 2010-2013年战略计划说明的项目厅管理成果框架规定了项目厅作为自筹资金的组织必须努力取得的管理成果，以期保持并提高能力，为联合国及其伙伴作出贡献。", "确立整体目标，以此推动整个项目厅的业绩", "36. 平衡计分卡是项目厅在各级提高业绩和促进组织成熟的核心管理工具。因此，2010-2013年战略计划的管理成果框架是围绕项目厅平衡计分卡的以下四个出发点制定：伙伴、业务流程、人和财务。", "37. 项目厅在编制预算的过程中完善了管理成果框架，在其中确立了四个整体目标，平衡计分卡的每个出发点一个目标。每个整体目标都通过三个注重行动的整体推动力来落实，后者为实现目标提供方向。每个整体推动力又通过业绩计量(指标)来具体落实，后者将衡量在实现整体目标方面取得的进展。成果管理框架的表述采用直接和注重行动的语言，但依然普遍适用，从而使其富有活力，并能适用于项目厅的所有职能领域和发挥这些职能的实体。", "图四 管理成果框架", "38. 四个整体目标及其各自的整体推动力将有助于更有效地实施和宣传项目厅的管理成果框架和管理战略，从而将使项目厅更好地并持续地为联合国及其伙伴作出贡献。", "39. 与整体目标和整体推动力有关的一套指标将使项目厅能够对照整体目标，监测实际业绩。本文件附件一进一步详细说明了每个整体目标和整体推动力，包括有关的业绩计量。", "与项目厅全球结构相对应的管理成果和预算", "40. 项目厅的组织结构旨在提高为伙伴提供服务的效率和成效，明确界定该组织各项职能、权限和责任。 2012-2013两年期的成果和预算框架与项目厅的全球结构直接对应，目的是根据和围绕管理业务和执行支助业务进一步协调决策，整合重要职能。", "41. 项目厅的管理预算框架是围绕说明项目厅职能领域的13个整体职能制定的。该框架还确定了五个核心活动，用以说明项目厅人员在整个项目厅从事的工作类型。其中每个核心活动都与上述12个整体推动力中的一个或多个及其各自的业绩计量相联系。这些都以项目厅平衡计分卡的四个出发点为基础。", "图五 项目厅的核心活动与整体职能的对应", "[]", "42. 项目厅管理成果和预算框架的这种安排和对应反映了项目厅各职能领域和地域之间强有力的联系和相互依靠，认识到在各组织实体中，无论管理人员和其他工作人员的首要职能领域是什么，其从事的活动都是为了实现与项目厅平衡计分卡的四个出发点有关的成果。他们与伙伴交流并为其服务，参加业务流程，与同伴和管理人员互动，而且所有活动都涉及经费问题。", "图六 全球结构中的整体职能和实体自上而下适用平衡计分卡的流程",

管理资源的零实际增长反映了项目厅为通过提高效率和效益不断削减费用而作出的努力，同时也抵销了本来需要的增加。由于这些努力，预算中的员额与2011年相比保持了稳定，反映了2009年启动的改叙工作的成果。", "79. 在编制这些预算估计数时，项目厅对过去几年各类费用的实际支出进行了一次彻底审查。这次审查的结果、人员配置表调整数和2012-2013两年期其他既定优先事项构成了两年期费用估计数的依据。",

表2列出了项目厅员额的概况，同时比较了2010-2011年和2012-2013年的预算估计数。表中净增21个员额的主要原因是，根据执行局第2009/5号决定于2009年启动的项目厅改叙工作已经完成。改叙工作根据总体组织结构进一步调整了项目厅人员配置，从而使项目厅的职等与联合国其他组织的职等具有可比性，并使一些个体承包协议改划为由管理预算供资的核心结构中的员额。三个业务中心主任的D-1职等员额的提高职等工作已根据执行主任的授权实施，原因是这些国家的业务规模增大。", "82. 拟把执行主任职位从助理秘书长职等提高到副秘书长职等，以确认该职位所承担问责和责任的增加。由于实施关于项目厅治理结构的执行局第2008/35号决定，项目厅的问责安排发生了很大变化，根据该决定，执行主任直接向执行局和秘书长汇报工作(而不是通过先前的管理协调委员会汇报)。执行局最近的第2009/25号和第2010/21号决定说明了项目厅的任务规定。大会第65/176号决议，“重新命名联合国开发计划署/联合国人口基金执行局，使之包括联合国项目事务厅”，确认了执行局的上述决定。此外，项目厅近年来的大幅度成长也增加了与该职位有关的责任。",

根据其大力削减费用的愿望，项目厅计划按实际价格计算把业务费用减少11%。因预期项目厅总部将按计划迁至哥本哈根新的联合国城，家具和设备类的支出已经增加。最后，偿还的费用略有增加，原因之一是预计要支付与使用Atlas系统支持公共部门会计准则有关的一次性费用——这笔费用由Atlas系统各伙伴机构分担。", "潜在负债和未来风险的备用款", "85.

The resources are geared towards implementing the UNOPS 2010-2013 strategic plan (DP/2009/36). Recognizing the significant uncertainties associated with the revenue projections, UNOPS continues to be prudent in its budgeting and therefore targets zero real growth in management resources for the biennium.

It is estimated that introduction of IPSAS will affect actual net revenue for 2012-2013 by approximately $13 million, owing mainly to delayed revenue recognition.", "With these budget estimates, UNOPS is targeting the highly ambitious goal of generating sufficient margins that the operational reserves will remain above the minimum requirement at the end of 2013 in spite of the effect on actual results of IPSAS-related accounting treatments. This translates into a target of zero net revenue for the upcoming biennium after accounting for IPSAS implications and regular provisions.", "The format of the UNOPS budget aligns with the harmonized results-based budget approach of UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF. The presentation is centered on the UNOPS management results framework aimed at enhancing and sustaining UNOPS contributions to the United Nations and its partners as outlined in UNOPS strategic plan.", "The budget estimates support key priorities aimed at increasing UNOPS efficiency and effectiveness. UNOPS management and implementation support practices were developed in response to partner demand in certain areas and their continued strengthening remains a priority. Efforts to enhance the quality of UNOPS deliverables through continuous improvement, as well as enhanced transparency and accountability, are demonstrated through further adoption of international best practice standards. Resources are also directed to improving UNOPS ability to help develop partners’ implementation capacity in areas of the UNOPS mandate and core competencies.", "Elements of a decision", "The Executive Board may wish to: (a) approve the net revenue target, recognizing the accounting effects of transition to IPSAS; and (b) endorse the refined management results and the associated targeting of resources.", "Contents", "I.

UNOPS contributes by expanding the capacity of the United Nations system and its partners to implement peacebuilding, development and humanitarian operations that matter for people in need. In doing so, UNOPS is guided by the triennial comprehensive policy review and subsequent policy reviews performed by the General Assembly. UNOPS mandate was clarified by recent Executive Board decisions 2009/25 and 2010/21.", "3. The General Assembly in its resolution 65/176 reaffirmed UNOPS mandate as contained in Executive Board decision 2009/25, which states, inter alia, “UNOPS acts as a service provider to United Nations system agencies, funds and programmes, international and regional financial institutions, intergovernmental organizations, donor and recipient Governments, non-governmental organizations, foundations and private sector organizations… UNOPS is a central resource for the United Nations system in procurement and contracts management as well as in civil works and physical infrastructure development, including the related capacity development activities.”", "Operational results define the areas where UNOPS contributes to partners’ results", "4. The UNOPS strategic plan 2010-2013 (DP/2009/36) was endorsed in 2009, aligning the planning period with key United Nations partners. The strategic plan presents UNOPS operational results framework comprising four contribution goals, defining the areas where UNOPS contributes to partners’ results; and three cross-cutting concerns for UNOPS operations.", "(a) UNOPS contribution goals:", "1. Rebuilding peace and stability after conflict", "2. Early recovery of communities affected by natural disasters", "3. Ability of people to develop economies and obtain social services", "4. Environmental sustainability and adaptation to climate change", "(b) Cross-cutting operational concerns:", "1. Gender equality and the empowerment of women", "2. National capacity development", "3. Environmental sustainability", "The strategic plan presents the steps that UNOPS is taking in pursuit of its vision: “to always satisfy partners with management services that meet world class standards of quality, speed and cost-effectiveness”. An important related feature of the strategic plan is to focus the work of UNOPS where it can contribute the most to the results of partners, which in turn will help build operational excellence in these areas. The thrust of the vision was further confirmed by the General Assembly, which recognized in its resolution 65/176 “the potential for value-adding contributions that United Nations Office for Project Services can make in providing efficient, cost-effective services to partners in the areas of project management, human resources, financial management and common/shared services”.", "5. The strategic plan builds upon the lessons learned in the implementation of the UNOPS business strategy 2007-2009, which focused on rebuilding financial stability through improved client satisfaction, the introduction of world class business practices and performance, and enhanced workforce competence and motivation.", "6. Much has been achieved: UNOPS is already an active and more appreciated member of United Nations country teams; financial viability has been proven for five consecutive years; and there is greater accountability and transparency, as well as enhanced management of risks, internal controls and oversight. UNOPS received an unqualified external audit for the period 2008-2009 and achieved the operational reserves minimum requirement at the end of 2009, two years ahead of the target set out in the 2010-2011 budget estimates. With that, UNOPS took significant steps towards completing the financial clean-up of the organization that has been in process since 2006. Outstanding issues pertain to historic liabilities and UNOPS is working systematically with the involved parties to resolve these issues.", "Management results sustain and enhance contributions to the United Nations and other partners", "7. Building on these achievements, the 2010-2011 budget estimates prioritize certain strategic initiatives aimed at increasing UNOPS efficiency and effectiveness and contributions to partners’ results. These include continued improvement of business practices in line with world-class standards, preparations to implement IPSAS, and other measures to further enhance transparency and accountability. Priority is also attached to strengthening project management as a practice area offering policy guidance, tools, and training to personnel worldwide, as well as strengthening knowledge management in UNOPS focus areas, and UNOPS ability to help build national implementation capacity within its mandate areas.", "8. In line with the ambition stated in the strategic plan, UNOPS set out to achieve external certification of core management functions, business processes and personnel. In June 2011, this work resulted in UNOPS gaining the prestigious ISO 9001 quality management system certification. UNOPS is the first United Nations organization to have its global management systems certified to ISO 9001. As part of the process, UNOPS documented core business practices in its Practice and Quality Management System. During a series of ISO assessments in 2011 the organization demonstrated that it consistently follows and refines these processes at all levels.", "9. During 2011, UNOPS was officially awarded the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply Certification in Procurement Policies and Procedures. This is a major achievement and UNOPS currently is the only United Nations body to have this recognition. This certification demonstrates that UNOPS has sound procurement policies, processes and procedures, verified and monitored by an independent body.", "10. The above-mentioned certifications illustrate how UNOPS partners benefit from business practices which reflect leading international standards. UNOPS will continue to prioritize such efforts to enhance and demonstrate the quality, speed and cost-effectiveness of the way it works. These efforts are expected to continue to yield benefits with regard to the quality of UNOPS deliverables, as well as both revenue and expenditure patterns in the current and future budget estimates.", "11. UNOPS management results framework, as articulated in the strategic plan 2010-2013, reflects the results that UNOPS as a self-financed organization must strive towards in order to sustain and enhance its ability to contribute to the United Nations and its partners. The presentation of the budget estimates is centred on this framework, which has been updated to enable effective implementation and communication of UNOPS management strategy. With a view to improving the methodology, UNOPS will continue examining lessons learned from its own implementation of results-based budgeting and management, and by studying experiences in UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF, among others.", "12. In this context, as part of its annual report on 2011, UNOPS is planning to include an assessment of its strategic plan. This will be an opportunity to further explore how UNOPS will create greater value for partners and simultaneously a strategic positioning of the organization that will keep it relevant for many years to come.", "II. Financial context", "13. This section first provides a summary of the interim financial results and projections for the biennium 2010-2011. It then outlines the main budget-related implications of the transition to IPSAS in 2012, before describing the process followed for the preparation of these budget estimates. This leads to a presentation of projections for the biennium 2012-2013, as well as status and expected development in the operational reserve.", "Projections for the biennium 2010-2011 indicate achievement of net revenue target", "14. As reflected in the financial highlights presented in the annual report for 2010, at the mid-point of the biennium UNOPS is well positioned to achieve its net revenue target for 2010-2011. UNOPS achieved significant growth in gross revenue in 2010 while maintaining mangement expenditure at the same level as in 2009, a tribute to UNOPS consistent focus on cost-effectiveness.", "15. Through its management information systems, UNOPS monitors results on an ongoing basis and financial performance against targets in real time. In the first months of 2011, UNOPS has experienced a reduction in business acquisitions and delivery that may be caused by the financial crisis affecting partners’ budgets. UNOPS will continue its prudent management practices, ensuring continued financial sustainability even in the event of a potential reduction in the revenue trend. The outcome of accounting provisions are particularly difficult to estimate in advance, as in many cases this requires agreements with partner organizations, arbitration settlements with contractors, or financial commitments by donors.", "16. At the time of budget preparation, it was necessary to make certain assumptions regarding expected opening balances for the next biennium. Based on these, UNOPS is reasonably confident that it will meet, or exceed, the net revenue target set for the 2010 – 2011 biennium.", "17. The actual financial performance of UNOPS in 2010-2011, to be reflected in the certified financial statement for the biennium, will depend on revenue generated and expenditures incurred until the last day of 2011. It will also be influenced by determinations of write-offs or bad debt provisions for historic liabilities. The actual result, and any impact on future planning, will be reported to the Executive Board in 2012.", "Transition to IPSAS delays revenue recognition and changes treatment of assets", "18. The accounting impact of the introduction of IPSAS in 2012 is diffucult to assess and therefore needs to be closely monitored and carefully managed. It is currently estimated that the transition from UN System Accounting Standards (UNSAS) to IPSAS will affect actual net revenue for 2012-2013 by approximately $13 million, owing mainly to delayed recognition of revenue under IPSAS and different treatment of assets.", "19. By comparing the accounting practices currently applied by UNOPS –UNSAS, with those that will be applied under IPSAS, it becomes clear that some of the revenue that under UNSAS would have been accounted for in the 2012-2013 biennium now will be accounted for in the following biennium. The negative effect on revenue for 2012-2013 is estimated to be $12 million – a one-off effect that will not affect the results of bienniums after 2013.", "20. Under IPSAS, UNOPS administrative assets will no longer be fully expensed on acquistion but will instead be capitalized and depreciated over the useful life. The net effect of this change in accounting practices is estimated to be $1 million in additional cost over the biennium 2012-2013.", "Budget preparation and implementation reflect realities on the ground", "21. In order to ensure ownership and reflect realities ‘on the ground’, all UNOPS regions were involved in developing the budget estimates. The revenue projections were prepared through a two-pronged process: At the corporate level, the projections were based on analysis of past performance, combined with assumptions provided by senior management. This analysis was complemented by a bottom-up exercise where regions were asked to provide projections for the areas contributing most significantly to revenue, as well as areas where significant change may be expected. The fact that these two scenarios on aggregate gave virtually the same results provides assurance that the estimates represent the best possible prediction at the current point in time.", "22. In line with the organizational structure, implementation of the budget will be decentralized to regional offices, operations centres, project centres and clusters, which will be held accountable for reaching annual target agreements. The status of various entities in the organizational structure will also be revised based on the annual target-setting exercise, and reviews and adjustments during implementation.", "23. Monitoring of, and reporting on, budget implementation is an integral part of UNOPS comprehensive performance management system. Data are collected and analysed to allow results to be reported at different levels, including core activity and corporate function, for the whole organization, by region and by entity.", "24. To allow the flexibility required to meet changing demands for UNOPS services by its partners, financial regulation 14.02 grants the Executive Director authority to redeploy funds within the approved biennial management budget, as well as to increase or reduce funds, including the number of posts in the staffing table, provided the net revenue target for the biennium established by the Executive Board is met.", "Projections for the biennium 2012-13 indicate reduction of fees and stable gross revenue", "25. The nature of UNOPS, as a fully self-financing service provider, causes significant uncertainty in predictions of delivery and, accordingly, revenue, which will finance the UNOPS budget. At the time of preparing the 2012-2013 budget estimates, most of UNOPS partners faced funding constraints. In view of this, UNOPS is conservative in its budgeting.", "26. In UNOPS every engagement must cover its full costs, including direct charges, contributions to corporate overheads covering all corporate functions contained in this budget proposal and to the operational reserves as a buffer for management of financial risks and liabilities. If the operational reserves continue to be fully replenished and once all historic liabilities are met, UNOPS may reduce the fees for its implemenation services from the current levels of a minimum of 4 per cent for transactional services, such as standard procurement, and a minimum of 7 per cent for project implementation services. Recent times have seen a gradual reduction in the average fees to an estimated level of 5.61 per cent in 2010, compared to 5.68 in 2009. For the upcoming biennium, it is expected that the average fee will continue to be reduced, to 5.5 per cent, slightly below the average of 2009 and 2010 actuals. The actual fee rate will depend on the volume and composition of services actually delivered in the budget period.", "Figure II", "Budget estimates as share of total expenditure 2012-2013", "[]", "27. For the biennium 2012-2013, the total gross revenue target is set at $148.7 million. This revenue is composed of $118.5 million in estimated revenue from project implementation services, $20.2 million from advisory and transactional services and $10.0 million in miscellaneous income. The estimated revenue from project implementation services was determined after considering the estimated $12 million in delayed revenue recognition for the biennium under IPSAS. Figure III illustrates how these projections compare with past performance. Notably, in the figure, revenue for 2010-2011 are a combination of 2010 actuals and 2011 estimates; 2012-2013 data are the budget estimates; while data for previous years are actuals.", "28. Considering the significant expected accounting effects of the transition to IPSAS in 2012, adding up to a total negative effect of $13 million, UNOPS plans for a net zero contribution to the operational reserves over the biennium. According to estimates, the operational reserves will remain above the target determined by the Executive Board at the end of the biennium. Section IV elaborates on the cost estimates for the 2012-2013 management budget.", "Figure III", "Gross revenue trends, by source of revenue", "(In millions of United States dollars)", "[]", "Operational reserve at minimum requirement, with a cushion for uncertain future", "29. As a fully self-financed organization, it is important for UNOPS that the operational reserve remains above the minimum requirement in order to provide a security cushion against uncertainties associated with revenue predictions and consequences of the IPSAS implementation; and for future investments beyond this budget period, such as the eventual replacement of the organization’s enterprise resource management system.", "30. The operational reserve minimum requirement is based on 4 per cent of the rolling average of the combined mangement budget and project expenditures for the last three years of operations. UNOPS achieved the operational reserve requirement at the end of 2009, two years ahead of the target set out in the budget estimates for the biennium 2010-2011. Accordingly, the opening balance for the operational reserve for the period 2010-2011 was $42.7 million, $0.6 million above the minimum requirement.", "31. As reflected in the interim financial results presented as part of the annual report, at the end of 2010 the operational reserve was $56.7 million. It is currently estimated that the closing balance at the end of the biennium 2010-2011 will be of the magnitude of $57 million or $10 million above the estimated minimum reserve requirement at that time. Notably, there is still significant uncertainty related to the financial results for 2011 and actuals reflected are expected to differ from estimates made at this time.", "32. With these budget estimates, UNOPS is targeting the highly ambitious goal of accumulating sufficient margins in 2010-2011 and 2012-2013 such that the operational reserves, in spite of the significant effect of IPSAS-related accounting treatments, at the end of 2013 will remain above the minimum requirement as mandated by the Executive Board. In the light of potential fluctuations in delivery and revenue over the coming years, achievement of this objective will require careful financial management.", "33. Throughout the budget period, UNOPS will carefully monitor revenue and expenditure patterns, and, in line with financial regulation 14.02, make upwards or downwards adjustments to the budget as necessary to align management expenditure with evolving realities. If, for this or other reasons, the net revenue target is not achieved, UNOPS will reduce the operational reserve in accordance with their intended use according to UNOPS financial regulation 22.02.", "34. In this context, UNOPS in 2012 is planning to perform a review of the operational reserve and the mandated minimum requirement, among others, owing to the transition to IPSAS. More information on the operational reserve and its intended use, is contained in the technical note provided in annex II to the present document.", "III. Management results and budget framework", "35. UNOPS management results framework, as articulated in the strategic plan 2010-2013, establishes the management results towards which UNOPS as a self-financed organization must strive in order to sustain and enhance its ability to contribute to the United Nations and its partners.", "Corporate goals drive performance throughout the organization", "36. In UNOPS the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is the central management tool used to drive improved performance and organizational maturity at all levels of the organization. Accordingly, the management results framework of the 2010-2013 strategic plan is structured around the four perspectives of UNOPS BSC: Partner, Business Process, People and Finance.", "37. The management results framework was refined as part of the budget preparation and comprises four corporate goals, one for each BSC perspective. Each corporate goal is operationalized by three action-oriented corporate drivers, providing direction for how the goal is achieved. Each corporate driver is in turn further operationalized by performance measures (indicators), which are used to ascertain progress towards achieving the corporate goal. The management results framework is expressed in direct and action-oriented language, still in generic terms, which makes it dynamic and applicable in all of UNOPS functional areas, and the entities in which they are performed.", "Figure IV", "Management results framework", "[]", "38. The four corporate goals and their respective corporate drivers will facilitate more effective implementation and communication of UNOPS management results framework and management strategy, the execution of which will enable UNOPS to enhance and sustain its contributions to the United Nations and its partners.", "39. A set of indicators associated with corporate goals and corporate drivers will enable UNOPS to monitor performance against its corporate goals. More elaborate descriptions of each corporate goal and corporate driver, including related performance measures, are contained in annex I to the present document.", "Management results and budget aligned with UNOPS global structure", "40. UNOPS organizational structure aims at driving efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of services to partners and clearly defines corporate functions, authorities and accountabilities. The results and budget framework for the biennium 2012-2013 is directly aligned with the UNOPS global structure, and is intended to enable more coordinated decision-making and integrate key functional roles within and around management practices and implementation support practices.", "41. UNOPS management budget framework is structured according to 13 corporate functions, which describe the functional areas of the organization. The framework further identifies five core activities which describe the types of work that UNOPS personnel engage in, across the organization. Each of the five core activities are in turn linked to one or more of the above-mentioned 12 corporate drivers and their respective performance measures, all of which are founded on the four perspectives of the UNOPS BSC.", "Figure V", "Aligning the organization’s core activities and corporate functions", "[]", "42. This set-up and alignment of UNOPS management results and budget framework reflect the strong linkages and dependencies among and across UNOPS functional and geographical areas. It recognizes that in all organizational entities management and other personnel, regardless of their primary functional area, engage in activities for the purpose of achieving results associated with the four perspectives of the UNOPS BSC. They interact with and service partners; engage in business processes; and interact with their peers and managers, and all activities have financial implications.", "Figure VI", "Cascading the Balanced Scorecard across corporate functions and entities in the global structure", "[]", "43. The management results and budget framework presented will further enhance UNOPS ability to manage and monitor progress towards corporate goals within its functions and entities, and for the organization as a whole. At the same time, the framework will be an important means of identifying and prioritizing areas for improvement. The linkage of core activities and corporate drivers in turn provides an opportunity for further aligning the organization for effective implementation of strategy, across all corporate functions and geographical entities, down to the smallest, yet most important component in creating value for partners: UNOPS individual personnel.", "UNOPS management results and budget in harmonized functional clusters", "44. UNOPS management results and budget framework maps to the seven harmonized clusters of the common management resources budget framework as illustrated in figure VII.

一些代表团对与2008-2009两年期相比，2010-2011年方案资源中监测和评价活动预期资源削减表示关切。这将影响到评价活动的质量。有人表示，秘书处应高度重视评价工作，并提出相应的建议。与此同时，其他代表团指出，监督厅报告中提到资源匮乏，这似乎是一种任意的说法，并不构成在秘书处内进行评价的主要障碍。", "55. 此外，有协调人提出，评价文化的某些内容是2008-2009年方案管理和进行自我评价面临的三大障碍(A/66/71，第51段)。有代表团对此表示关切，56%的协调人报告财政资源不足是其方案面临的最大障碍。", "56.

几个代表团对报告得出结论所采用的一些方法表示关切，提出会员国和工作人员调查答复率较低，专家小组所审查的出版物数量也有限。对此，监督厅承认其调查在获得较高答复率方面面临困难，并解释说，监督厅从多方来源收集数据，报告的结果均建立在不止一个来源的基础上。此外，该厅还解释说，出版物的选择是经与该部协商作出的，代表了其关键出版物，而且关于这些出版物的质量和用途的数据，也是经对该部利益攸关方进行大规模调查后得出的。", "71. 有代表团要求说明该报告所载向委员会提出的问题，即如何评价将负责政策协调和机构间事务助理秘书长设在秘书长办公厅而不是该部内的好处。监督厅答复称，目前助理秘书长负责全秘书处协调问题，不负责该部协调问题，该部高层领导人认为这是一个挑战。这位助理秘书长在联合国系统行政首长协调理事会代表整个秘书处。因此，将这个员额安排在秘书长办公厅更为恰当，还可发挥秘书长在秘书处协调问题方面的权威。", "72. 有代表团询问该报告中一些关于该部能见度差异和分配给该部资源相对较少的结果。一些代表团赞同报告关于该部面临有关能见度挑战的结果，例如其在即将举行的联合国可持续发展大会中所起的作用。在资源分配方面，有代表团表示，应增加对有关发展工作的支助。还有代表团提出关于将人权问题纳入该部工作主流的问题，并特别指出这不是其任务的一部分。", "73. 有代表团表示，该部应等待委员会审议评价建议后再加以执行。",

委员会建议大会请秘书长采取必要措施，使该部得以突出其战略重点，通过更明确地确定其优先事项和重要活动，继续已开展的规划工作。在这方面，委员会指出，该部必须进一步澄清其在能力建设工作中的具体作用，并考虑到促进与实地派驻的联合国实体合作的必要性。", "76. 委员会注意到内部监督事务厅关于经济和社会事务部方案评价的报告，并建议大会认可该报告第76至80段所载结论和建议。", "77. 委员会表示关注监督厅报告提出的关于员额及其名称安排的问题，这种安排忽视了大会有关任务规定，特别是其第58/269号决议中关于方案和协调委员会和第五委员会在预算流程中分别所起作用的规定。", "3. 方案和协调委员会第四十八届会议就深入评价政治事务所提建议执行情况三年期审查：由政治事务部领导、外勤支助部支持的外地特别政治任务", "78.

各国代表团确认，委员会认可的4项建议中有3项得到成功执行。各国代表团注意到，监督厅的报告承认政治部遵守了正在制定中的准则，但在战略规划中，缺乏协调。代表团要求政治部进一步澄清该部是如何使特别政治任务与联合国基金和方案互动的，从而避免重复和竞争。", "结论和建议", "82.

委员会注意到，在改善外地特别政治任务的作用和各自职责指南的定义和应用的战略规划方面，取得了进展，政治事务部和外勤支助部之间在支助这些任务上也进行了更好的协调与合作。", "85. 委员会关切地注意到，虽然大会根据委员会第四十八届会议的建议，在其第63/247号决议中认可了监督厅报告(E/AC.51/2008/2)所载建议2，但该建议未得到充分执行。", "86.

各国代表团对行政首长理事会与政府间机构、特别是与经济及社会理事会的行政首长加强对话表示赞赏和支持。有些国家代表团敦促行政首长理事会继续为此作出努力，并努力提高其决定和工作对会员国的透明度，包括使其决定与联合国政府间机构的决定保持一致。", "92. 在业务问题上，有些国家代表团欢迎行政首长理事会努力加强联合国发展系统在国家一级的协调一致、成效和效率。不过，联合国系统必须继续根据会员国的国家优先事项、发展战略和需求开展发展业务活动，以帮助各国实现千年发展目标等国际商定发展目标。为此，在让国家进程与联合国发展援助框架的周期和共同国家评估保持一致时，必须考虑到各国优先事项和发展战略中提出的具体情况和问题，而不能采取“一刀切”的做法。", "93. 有些国家代表团认为，经济及社会理事会作为实现千年发展目标等国际商定发展目标的主要机构，应讨论“综合执行框架”这一概念。有些国家代表团对该委员会会前没有通报这项概念表示关切，并希望说明它的拟议情况以及何时将该概念提交会员国通过。有些国家代表团表示，这项概念应促进它与千年发展目标的协同增效作用并与其保持一致。", "94. 一些国家代表团欢迎行政首长理事会努力落实政府间决定的主要成果，包括试推行“一体行动”概念。另一些国家代表团提请注意，联合国各专门机构、基金和方案在实地提供的联合国援助没有统一模式。此外，有些国家代表团再次吁请秘书长确保行政首长理事会的工作符合大会关于联合国发展集团所关切业务问题的各项主要决定。", "95. 关于支助发展中国家的问题，几个国家代表团注意到行政首长理事会提交给第四次联合国最不发达国家问题会议的支持声明。鉴于《伊斯坦布尔2011-2020十年支援最不发达国家行动纲领》(A/CONF.219/3)已获得通过，几个国家代表团想知道联合国系统打算如何促进生产能力的发展。", "96. 在工作人员安全保障问题上，有些国家代表团表示，报告提供的资料很粗略，这方面的工作应根据政府间机构在安全和安保管理改革方面的总体工作进行。有些国家代表团希望获得更多资料，以说明行政首长理事会如何努力处理这一至关重要的问题和联合国系统内部采取的保护工作人员措施。", "97. 有些国家代表团回顾了该委员会第五十届会议作出的与行政首长理事会工作有关的两项决定，并要求行政首长理事会提供更多资料，说明它在多大程度上促使发展中国家更多参与联合国系统的采购工作，并说明行政首长理事会如何努力与国际公务员制度委员会和联合检查组等其他组织间机构加强合作，包括说明这两个机构是否经常参与行政首长理事会的工作。", "98. 有些国家代表团提出与秘书长主持下设立的“首长小组”有关的几个问题。这些国家代表团认为，该“小组”在提供与可持续发展有关的简洁、一致的咨询意见和消息时，应重点发挥不同政策之间的协同增效作用。此外，有些国家代表团提出了与实施《国际公共部门会计准则》(《公共部门会计准则》)有关的几个问题。具体而言，这些国家代表团请秘书处提供书面答复，以便更好地澄清年度概览报告第61段传达的信息,并说明《公共部门会计准则》在有关实体的实施和实现情况，同时考虑到大会有关决议和准则。", "99. 有些国家代表团还要求进一步说明年度概览报告为何将可持续能源和生物多样性这两个主题一并阐述。", "结论和建议", "100.　该委员会再次建议大会提请秘书长以行政首长理事会主席的身份注意，行政首长理事会需继续根据其加强全系统协调的任务并根据其成员组织的政府间任务开展工作。",

"110.　大家总体上对办公室的工作(特别是其重要的协调作用)表示支持和满意。各国代表团强调必须加强对基础设施部门，尤其是能源、交通、水和卫生领域的支助。在这方面，各国代表团承认关于主席基础设施行动倡议的高级别小组委员会的工作；该倡议试图进一步加强非洲大陆的基础设施建设。各国代表团还强调要改善公路和铁路链的连接性，尤其是支助各区域经济委员会促进区域基础设施项目、从而推进区域一体化的努力。绝大多数代表团注意到，对基础设施进行投资，将为非洲大陆带来诸多裨益。",

"112.　在和平与安全领域，各国代表团欢迎在亚的斯亚贝巴设立联合国驻非洲联盟办事处，强调必须加强该办事处，使之能同区域经济委员会密切协作，以执行其任务。各国代表团还赞扬妇女署、联合国难民事务高级专员办事处和联合国儿童基金会在武装冲突中保护妇女儿童方面进行协作。各国代表团进一步强调必须增进联合国安全理事会与非洲联盟和平与安全理事会之间日益增强的联系。在此方面，各国代表团表示继续支持维持和平行动部非洲联盟和平支助小组协助非洲联盟在非洲大陆建设维和行动能力。",

"114.　就工业、贸易和市场准入而言，各国代表团强调促进贸易是发展非洲经济体的主要内容之一。在此方面，各国代表团赞扬联合国为促进非洲贸易所作努力，尤其是联合国贸易和发展会议、世界贸易组织、国际贸易中心、世界银行和世界海关组织等主要机构所作的良好工作。此外，各国代表团表示，促进贸易，同区域基础设施建设的改善，是一环套一环。各国代表团还欢迎在贸易方面向最不发达国家提供技术援助的加强综合框架。", "115.　在环境、人口和城市化方面，各国代表团承认，气候变化的后果对非洲大陆产生消极的波纹效应。在此方面，各国代表团强调必须就气候变化达成非洲共同立场，尤其是要迎接联合国可持续发展大会(里约＋20大会)。在社会发展和人的发展方面，各国代表团注意到联合国艾滋病毒/艾滋病联合规划署在起草关于非洲大陆或全球有关艾滋病毒/艾滋病的承诺的全面汇编方面提供援助，指出这是针对非洲面临的严重保健问题所采取的重点突出的办法。就科学技术而言，各国代表团强调必须在科学、工程和技术方面培训教师，进行能力建设。此外，各国代表团吁请利用远程学习机构，便利对非洲大陆的当地教师进行培训。",

"117.　各国代表团指出，宣传这一主要目的交由非洲问题特别顾问办公室负责。然而，由于没有单独委任副秘书长，该办公室的任务同小岛屿国家、内陆国家和发展中国家的任务混为一谈。各国代表团表示，它们对此项安排依然感到关切。", "118.　一些代表团对经济危机和金融危机对广大发展中国家、特别是对非洲的发展造成消极影响感到关注。在此方面，应当拟定适当对策，以减缓社会经济影响并确保在2015年前实现千年发展目标方面取得进展。", "119.　各国代表团还承认南南合作对于推进非洲发展议程的重要性，强调南南合作和南北合作具有互补性。",

"123.　委员会认识到秘书长关于联合国支助非洲发展新伙伴关系的报告工作继续得到改进,最新近的报告(E/AC.51/2011/4)对以前关于要报道联合国系统支助全非洲的新伙伴关系项目方面有形行动和成果的呼吁作了更好的回应，同时强调今后的报告应在质和量两方面进一步侧重于联合国系统各实体联系所调动的资源、而开展支助新伙伴关系的活动的影响。", "124.　委员会注意到非洲领导人2001年根据共同展望和坚定和共享的信念所作的决定；这一信念即：他们有责任消除贫穷，让其各自的国家走上可持续增长和发展之路，启动非洲发展新伙伴关系这一促进非洲可持续发展和社会振兴的方案，建议联合国系统利用该方案十周年、通过以现有机制为基础的监测机制，对新伙伴关系重新作出承诺，对涉及非洲发展的所有承诺采取后续行动，并定期评价其对该方案的支助的影响，以便进一步了解还需要填补哪些空缺，有什么进展可以发扬光大。", "125.　委员会注意到，联合国系统需要通过对注重成果的制度加以合理化，来振兴其对新伙伴关系的承诺，以监测和评价其在支助实施新伙伴关系方案方面的影响。在此方面，委员会重申必须改进非洲所有发展方案和项目的全面协调。", "126.　委员会建议联合国系统以非洲区域协调机制商定的集群为基础，继续增进其支助非洲发展新伙伴关系的工作的连贯性，吁请联合国系统继续把非洲的特别需求纳入其所有规范和业务活动的主流，包括为各方案和项目供资、调动资源以及人道主义援助。", "127.　委员会建议大会请秘书长采取必要措施，促进联合国参加集群系统的实体之间产生协同效应，以消除重复劳动和资源利用效率低的情况。",

"130.　委员会欢迎联合国系统对关于主席基础设施行动倡议的高级别小组委员会的工作给予支助；该倡议旨在通过政治倡导，促进区域基础设施建设。委员会认识到，鉴于基础设施对于推动非洲区域一体化议程而言至关重要,必须协同区域经济委员会、非洲开发银行和联合国非洲经济委员会，向该倡议提供技术协调和支助。", "131.　委员会重申，非洲问题特别顾问办公室首要目的在于在国际、非洲大陆和区域各级促进为非洲发展新伙伴关系进行倡导和提供支助。在这方面，委员会注意到，领导这一极其重要的办公室的、法定副秘书长级的职务依然空缺。委员会再度回顾大会设立非洲问题特别顾问办公室的第57/7号决议和第57/300号决议，以及方案和协调委员会和行预咨委会的建议(大会后来通过第62/236、63/260、64/243和65/244号决议及其中各项决定，对这些建议表示赞同),并敦请秘书长填补负责非洲问题特别顾问办公室的副秘书长职位的空缺。", "132.　委员会回顾联合国南南合作问题高级别会议2009年12月1日至3日在肯尼亚内罗毕通过的南南合作共识政治宣言；再度重申了非洲问题特别顾问办公室在推进非洲议程和非洲发展新伙伴关系各项目标的努力中，也亟须实施南南合作的各项根本原则，同时铭记南南合作并不取代南北合作，而是对南北合作的补充。", "第四章 委员会第五十二届会议临时议程",

The view was expressed that the subprogramme should observe the principle of universality while delivering its work.

Evaluation", "1. Strengthening the role of evaluation and the application of evaluation findings on programme design, delivery and policy directives", "47. At its 6th meeting, on 8 June 2011, the Committee considered the report of the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) on strengthening the role of evaluation and the application of evaluation findings on programme design, delivery and policy directives (A/66/71).", "48. The representative of OIOS introduced the report and responded to questions raised during the Committee’s consideration of the report.", "Discussion", "49. Delegations expressed appreciation for the report, which enabled them to understand how programmes of the United Nations Secretariat had been implemented and evaluated. They also observed that the report was comprehensive and would go a long way towards energizing evaluation processes in the Secretariat. Delegations also expressed their support for the evaluation function, noting its importance for reflection and improvement of work. The role of evaluation is a very substantive management function for any organization — the United Nations is no exception. Delegations thanked OIOS and line units in departments for the evaluation activities conducted.", "50. Delegations observed that evaluations provide input for wiser decision-making on programme planning and design, and increased effectiveness and efficiency. They expressed appreciation for the active role of OIOS in strengthening accountability and welcomed the measures OIOS had taken to improve its own evaluation activities.", "51. Delegations noted that the quality of the 2008-2009 self-evaluations was “satisfactory” overall, but varied widely. Concern was expressed regarding nine reports on six programmes that were rated “poor”. Further clarification was sought as to the reasons for the ratings and corrective measures taken.", "52. Several delegations expressed concern about the removal of the expected accomplishment “effective self-evaluation of all programmes and subprogrammes on a regular basis” from the 2010 senior managers’ compacts with the Secretary-General and sought clarification for this action. Delegations emphasized that self-evaluation should be fully accepted as a management function.", "53. Delegations noted in particular the observation contained in the report that management staff frequently did not seem to be aware of their duties with regard to self-evaluation. The view was expressed that the Committee needed to insist on a firm commitment by all staff to evaluation. Delegations also emphasized that it was important to have well-trained evaluators, and sought clarification on the use of consultants for evaluations.", "54. Concern was expressed by some delegations at the reduction in the proportion of resources envisaged for monitoring and evaluation activities in programme resources in 2010-2011 compared with the biennium 2008-2009. This would affect the quality of evaluation activities. The view was expressed that the Secretariat should attach great importance to evaluation and come up with recommendations accordingly. Other delegations noted that the lack of resources, as referred to in the report of OIOS, seemed to be an arbitrary statement and did not appear to be the main obstacle to conducting evaluations in the Secretariat.", "55. Further concern was expressed that elements of evaluation culture were mentioned by focal points as being among the three biggest obstacles that programmes faced in managing and conducting self-evaluations in 2008-2009 (A/66/71, para. 51), and it was noted that a lack of sufficient financial resources was reported by 56 per cent of focal points as the biggest obstacle that their programmes faced (A/66/71, para. 45).", "56. With reference to paragraphs 6 and 71 (e) of the report, which stated that OIOS had engaged outside expertise to undertake the quality assessment of a sample of departmental evaluations and of its own evaluation and inspection reports in 2008-2009, some delegations expressed concern as to why OIOS needed to hire external consultants for such work. Further clarification was sought as to whether this was typical practice for evaluation units of programmes to assess their work when the Joint Inspection Unit or the Board of Auditors could undertake that task.", "57. Noting in particular paragraph 43 of the report, the Committee stressed the importance of sufficient financial and staffing resources, as well as sufficient competencies and leadership support to ensure adequate evaluation capacities at the central, programme and subprogramme levels throughout the Secretariat.", "Conclusions and recommendations", "58. The Committee emphasized that evaluation was a key function for the adoption of budgetary decisions, since it not only helped to improve programme design and execution, as well as the formulation of policy directives, but also contributed to transparency, effective implementation of intergovernmental mandates and the maximization of the use of resources. At the same time, it allowed Member States to follow up on programme outcomes in a systematic way.", "59. Although it recognized its primary responsibilities for the coordination and programming functions, the Committee underlined the importance of the role it could and should play in evaluation.", "60. The Committee noted that the effectiveness of evaluation depended on, among other factors, the quality of management indicators. It thus reiterated the need to improve the formulation of the desired outcomes, as well as the qualitative aspects of indicators, bearing in mind that they must be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound.", "61. The Committee recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to take concrete measures in the competent bodies and at the appropriate levels in order to ensure that evaluation had the greatest possible impact on the medium- and long-term strategic planning of the United Nations system.", "62. The Committee also recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to ensure that OIOS evaluation reports also focus on programme impact and results achieved, by improving the methodology for conducting assessments and, in particular, ensuring regular follow-up on the progress made and more comprehensive conclusions.", "63. The Committee recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to ensure that a more systematic approach to evaluating activities is adopted by OIOS, including in terms of the better exploitation of complementarities and synergies among all activities and of the strengthening of coordination among all relevant departments, in order to achieve more effective evaluation results and the more efficient use of available resources.", "64. The Committee stressed that appropriately balanced competencies and strong commitment from staff at all managerial levels, including senior leadership support, as well as sufficient financial and staffing resources, were among the main elements required to the ensure adequate conduct of evaluation activities in the Secretariat.", "65. The Committee recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to make better use of in-house expertise to carry out evaluations in the different entities of the Secretariat, in particular the experience accumulated by the internal and external oversight bodies.", "66. The Committee selected the programme evaluations of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the United Nations Environment Programme and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime for consideration at its fifty-third session in 2013 and the thematic evaluation of the internal justice system of the Secretariat for consideration by the relevant intergovernmental body.", "2. Programme evaluation of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs", "67. At its 3rd meeting, on 7 June 2011, the Committee considered the report of OIOS on the programme evaluation of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (E/AC.51/2011/2).", "68. The Acting Director of the Inspection and Evaluation Division of OIOS introduced the report, and representatives of OIOS and the Department responded to questions raised during the Committee’s consideration of the report.", "Discussion", "69. Delegations expressed appreciation for the report and noted the significance of its being the first evaluation of the Department as a whole since its reorganization in 1997. They also underscored the importance of the Department’s work in the economic and social development areas through its provision of support to the Economic and Social Council and other intergovernmental processes and its contributions to the attainment of internationally agreed development goals, among its many other functions.", "70. Several delegations expressed concern regarding some of the methodology used in reaching the report’s conclusions, citing the low response rates for the Member State and staff surveys and the limited number of publications that were reviewed by the expert panel. In response, OIOS acknowledged the challenges in attaining high response rates in its surveys and explained that, since it triangulated data from multiple sources, none of the report’s results were based on a single source. In addition, it was explained that the publications had been chosen in consultation with the Department as representing its key publications, and that data on the quality and utility of the publications had been obtained from a large survey of Department stakeholders.", "71. Clarification was sought on the question posed to the Committee, as reflected in the report, on evaluating the merits of having the Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Coordination and Inter-Agency Affairs placed within the Executive Office of the Secretary-General rather than within the Department. OIOS responded that, currently, the Assistant Secretary-General was responsible for Secretariat-wide coordination issues but not for Department coordination issues, which had been identified as a challenge by senior leadership of the Department. The Assistant Secretary-General represented the entire Secretariat on the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination. Thus, placement of the post in the Office of the Secretary-General would be more appropriate and would also bring to bear the authority of the Secretary-General on Secretariat coordination issues.", "72. Queries were raised regarding some of the report’s results on the varying degree of the visibility of the Department and the relatively low level of resources allocated to it. A number of delegations concurred with the report’s results regarding the challenges related to the Department’s visibility, such as its role in the upcoming United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. With respect to resource allocation, the view was expressed that more support should be provided to development-related work. Questions were also raised regarding the mainstreaming of human rights issues into the Department’s work, noting in particular that this was not a part of its mandate.", "73. The view was expressed that the Department should wait for the Committee’s deliberations on the evaluation recommendations before it proceeded with their implementation.", "Conclusions and recommendations", "74. The Committee recalled the importance of the role played by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs within the development pillar of the United Nations system. In that regard, it highlighted the valuable support that the Department provides to the intergovernmental decision-making process and the global statistical system, as well as its impact on the progress made in achieving the Millennium Development Goals.", "75. The Committee recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to take the necessary measures to enable the Department to sharpen its strategic focus, continuing its work of planning already begun, through more explicit identification of its priorities and critical activities. In that regard, the Committee noted the need for the Department to further clarify its specific role in the work of capacity-building, taking into account the need to stimulate cooperation with United Nations entities based in the field.", "76. The Committee took note of the report of the Office of Internal Oversight Services on the programme evaluation of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs and recommended that the General Assembly endorse the conclusions and recommendations contained in paragraphs 76 to 80 of the report.", "77. The Committee expressed concern about the questions raised in the report of OIOS concerning the placement of posts and their titles, which disregarded the relevant mandates of the General Assembly, in particular the provisions of its resolution 58/269 regarding the respective roles of the Committee for Programme and Coordination and the Fifth Committee in the budget process.", "3.

At its 4th meeting, on 7 June 2011, the Committee considered the report of OIOS on the triennial review of the implementation of recommendations made by the Committee for Programme and Coordination at its forty-eighth session on the in-depth evaluation of political affairs: field special political missions led by the Department of Political Affairs but supported by the Department of Field Support (E/AC.51/2011/3).", "79. The Acting Director of the Inspection and Evaluation Division of OIOS introduced the report and responded to questions raised during the Committee’s consideration of the report.", "Discussion", "80. Delegations expressed appreciation for the report and emphasized that special political missions had become crucial for the Organization’s work in supporting peace and security. Some delegations noted with concern that there had been an increase in the number of special political missions and that they currently accounted for 30 per cent of the regular budget. Delegations also stressed that strategic oversight remained the primary responsibility of Member States.", "81. Delegations acknowledged the successful implementation of three of the four recommendations endorsed by the Committee. Delegations noted that, while the report of OIOS acknowledged the compliance of the Department of Political Affairs with developing guidelines, harmonization in strategic planning was lacking. They requested the Department to further clarify how it planned to approach those issues and to elaborate on how special political missions should interact with United Nations funds and programmes to avoid redundancy and competition.", "Conclusions and recommendations", "82. The Committee noted the efforts under way to strengthen the Department of Political Affairs in accordance with the overall objective of programme 2, Political affairs, of the strategic framework for the period 2012-2013 (A/65/6/Rev.1), as endorsed by the General Assembly in its resolution 65/244, in order to maintain international peace and security.", "83.

The Committee noted with concern that recommendation 2 contained in the report of OIOS (E/AC.51/2008/2) and endorsed by the General Assembly in its resolution 63/247, upon the recommendation of the Committee at its forty-eighth session, had not been fully implemented.", "86. The Committee recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to ensure the full implementation of comprehensive strategic planning, which provides for the alignment of planning documents with the budget, in the context of the results-based-budgeting process, particularly in respect of the need to have more meaningful indicators of achievement and better linkage between the objectives, activities and achievements of missions.", "Chapter III Coordination questions", "A. Annual overview report of the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination for 2010/11", "87. At its 4th meeting, on 7 June 2011, the Committee considered the annual overview report of the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) for 2010/11 (E/2011/104).", "88. The Secretary of CEB introduced the report and responded verbally and in written form to questions raised during the Committee’s consideration of the report.", "Discussion", "89. Delegations thanked the Secretary of CEB for his presentation, welcomed the comprehensive annual overview report of CEB for 2010/11 and commended the work of the Board and its three pillars (the High-level Committee on Programmes, the High-level Committee on Management and the United Nations Development Group) in strengthening coordination of various areas within the United Nations system.", "90. Delegations commended the work of CEB in ensuring greater coherence and coordination in areas such as climate change and sustainable development; preparations for major conferences, such as the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development; the empowerment of women; and disaster risk reduction. In addition, measures adopted by the Board to follow up on intergovernmental decisions related to sustainable energy for all were noted.", "91. Delegations expressed their appreciation and support for the increased dialogue between CEB and executive heads and intergovernmental organs, particularly the Economic and Social Council. CEB was urged to continue its efforts in that regard, as well as efforts to enhance the transparency of its decisions and work for Member States, including aligning its decisions with those of intergovernmental bodies of the United Nations.", "92. With regard to operational issues, some delegations welcomed the efforts of CEB in enhancing the country-level coherence, effectiveness and efficiency of the United Nations development system. However, operational activities for development of the United Nations system in helping countries to achieve the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals, must continue to be in accordance with the national priorities, development strategies and needs of Member States.

Two decisions of the Committee at its fiftieth session relating to the work of CEB were recalled. The Board was asked to provide more information with regard to the degree to which it had enhanced the participation of developing countries in the procurement process of the United Nations system and efforts to strengthen cooperation between CEB and other inter-organizational bodies such as the International Civil Service Commission and the Joint Inspection Unit, including information on the frequent participation of those two bodies in the work of CEB.", "98. Some delegations raised points related to the “Principals Group” established under the auspices of the Secretary-General. The view was expressed that the Group should focus on processes of creating synergies between the various policy strands in providing concise and coherent advice and messaging related to sustainable development. Furthermore, several points related to the implementation of the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) were raised. Specifically, delegations requested that the Secretariat provide a written response to better clarify the information conveyed in paragraph 61 of the annual overview report as well as on the status of implementation and achievability of IPSAS among involved entities and taking into account relevant General Assembly resolutions and guidelines.", "99.

For many organizations, evaluation has a very important substantive management function, and the United Nations is no exception. Delegations thanked OIOS and the various departmental units for their evaluation activities.", "50.

Delegations stressed the importance of having trained evaluators and requested clarification on the use of consultants for evaluations.", "54. Some delegations expressed concern about the projected reduction in resources for monitoring and evaluation activities in programme resources for 2010-2011 compared to the biennium 2008-2009. This will affect the quality of evaluation activities. The view was expressed that the Secretariat should give high priority to evaluation and make recommendations accordingly. At the same time, other delegations noted that the reference in the OIOS report to a lack of resources appeared to be arbitrary and did not constitute a major obstacle to evaluation in the Secretariat.", "55. In addition, the focal point suggested that some elements of the evaluation culture were the three main obstacles to programme management and self-evaluation in 2008-2009 (A/66/71, para. 51).

At the same time, it enables Member States to systematically and systematically implement programme results.", "59. While recognizing the primary responsibility for the coordination and programming functions, the Committee emphasizes the role it can and should play in evaluation.", "The Committee noted that the effectiveness of evaluation depended on, among other factors, the quality of management indicators. The Committee reiterates the need to improve the formulation of expected results and the quality of indicators, bearing in mind that they must be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound.", "61. The Committee recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to take concrete measures, at the competent authority and at the appropriate level, to ensure that evaluation has the greatest possible impact on medium- and long-term strategic planning in the United Nations system.", "62. The Committee also recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to ensure that the evaluation reports of OIOS also focus on programme impact and results achieved, while improving the assessment methodology and, in particular, to ensure that the progress achieved is followed from time to time with a view to providing more comprehensive conclusions.", "63.

Several delegations expressed concern about some of the methodologies used to draw conclusions from the report, the low response rate to the survey of Member States and staff and the limited number of publications reviewed by the Panel. In response, OIOS acknowledged that its investigations faced difficulties in obtaining a higher response rate and explained that it collected data from multiple sources and that the results of the reports were based on more than one source. In addition, the Office explained that the selection of publications had been made in consultation with the Department, representing its key publications, and that data on the quality and usefulness of those publications had been derived from a large-scale survey of the Department ' s stakeholders.", "71. Clarification was sought as to the question posed to the Committee in the report on the evaluation of the benefits of having the Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Coordination and Inter-Agency Affairs in the Executive Office of the Secretary-General rather than within the Department. OIOS responded that the current Assistant Secretary-General was responsible for Secretariat-wide coordination and was not responsible for the Department ' s coordination, which was considered a challenge by the senior leadership of the Department. The Assistant Secretary-General represents the entire Secretariat in the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination. It would therefore be more appropriate to place the post in the Executive Office of the Secretary-General, which would also exercise the authority of the Secretary-General on Secretariat coordination issues.", "72. Queries were raised about some of the results of the report regarding the difference in the visibility of the Department and the relatively small resources allocated to it. Some delegations concurred with the report ' s findings regarding the Department ' s visibility challenges, such as its role in the upcoming United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. In terms of resource allocation, the view was expressed that support for development-related work should be increased. The issue of mainstreaming human rights in the work of the Department was also raised, noting in particular that it was not part of its mandate.", "73. The view was expressed that the Department should await the Committee ' s consideration of evaluation recommendations before implementing them.", "Conclusions and recommendations", "74. The Committee recalled the important role played by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs within the development pillar of the United Nations system. In that regard, the Committee highlighted the Department ' s valuable support to intergovernmental decision-making processes and the global statistical system, as well as its impact on progress towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.", "75. The Committee recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to take the necessary measures to enable the Department to sharpen its strategic focus and to continue the planning work already undertaken through a clearer definition of its priorities and key activities.

Delegations confirmed that three of the four recommendations endorsed by the Committee had been successfully implemented. Delegations noted that the OIOS report recognized the Department ' s compliance with the guidelines being developed, but that there was a lack of coordination in strategic planning. The Department of Political Affairs was requested to further clarify how it interacts with United Nations funds and programmes in respect of special political missions, thus avoiding duplication and competition.", "Conclusions and recommendations", "82. The Committee noted that efforts were being made to strengthen the Department of Political Affairs in accordance with the overall objective of programme 2 of the strategic framework for the period 2012-2013, as approved by the General Assembly in its resolution 65/244.", "83.

In addition, delegations noted the measures taken by CEB on follow-up to intergovernmental decisions on sustainable energy for all.", "91. Delegations expressed their appreciation and support for the enhanced dialogue between CEB and intergovernmental bodies, in particular the executive heads of the Economic and Social Council. Some delegations urged CEB to continue its efforts to that end and to make its decisions and work more transparent to Member States, including by aligning its decisions with those of United Nations intergovernmental bodies.", "92. On operational issues, some delegations welcomed the efforts of CEB to strengthen the coherence, effectiveness and efficiency of the United Nations development system at the country level. However, the United Nations system must continue its operational activities for development in line with the national priorities, development strategies and needs of Member States to help countries achieve the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals. To that end, in aligning national processes with the United Nations Development Assistance Framework cycle and the common country assessment, it is important to take into account the specific circumstances and issues identified in national priorities and development strategies rather than a “one-size-fits-all” approach.", "Some delegations expressed the view that the Economic and Social Council, as the principal body for achieving the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals, should address the concept of an integrated implementation framework. Some delegations expressed concern that the concept had not been communicated to the Committee prior to the meeting and wished to indicate its proposed status and when it would be submitted to Member States for adoption. Some delegations expressed the view that the concept should promote synergies and alignment with the Millennium Development Goals.", "Several delegations welcomed the efforts of CEB to implement key outcomes of intergovernmental decisions, including the piloting of the concept of “Delivering as one”. Other delegations drew attention to the lack of a uniform model of United Nations assistance from United Nations specialized agencies, funds and programmes in the field.

With regard to support for developing countries, several delegations took note of the statement of support submitted by CEB to the Fourth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries. In view of the adoption of the Istanbul Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2011-2020 (A/CONF.219/3), several delegations wondered how the United Nations system intended to promote the development of productive capacities.", "96. On the issue of staff safety and security, some delegations expressed the view that the information provided in the report was sketchy and should be based on the overall work of intergovernmental bodies on safety and security management reform. Some delegations wished to receive more information on the efforts of CEB to address this critical issue and the measures taken within the United Nations system to protect staff.", "97.

Those delegations were of the view that, in providing concise and coherent advice and information on sustainable development, the Group should focus on synergies between different policies. In addition, some delegations raised several issues related to the implementation of the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). In particular, those delegations requested written responses from the Secretariat in order to better clarify the information conveyed in paragraph 61 of the annual overview report and to clarify the implementation and achievement of IPSAS in the entities concerned, taking into account relevant General Assembly resolutions and guidelines.", "99.

The Committee recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General, in his capacity as Chairman of CEB, to ensure the implementation of projects funded by the High-level Committee on Management Plan of Action, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Assembly resolutions on administrative and budgetary matters and the Financial Regulations and Rules of the United Nations (ST/SGB/2003/7).", "107. The Committee recommended continued cooperation between CEB, the International Civil Service Commission and the Joint Inspection Unit and encouraged CEB to strengthen this cooperation through greater participation of the Joint Inspection Unit and ICSC in meetings of the High-level Committee on Management, the High-level Committee on Programmes and the United Nations Development Group.", "B.

At its 5th meeting, on 8 June 2011, the Committee for Programme and Coordination considered the report of the Secretary-General on United Nations system support for the New Partnership for Africa ' s Development (E/AC.51/2011/4).", "109. The Director of the Office of the Special Adviser on Africa of the Secretary-General introduced the report of the Secretary-General and responded to questions raised during the Committee ' s consideration of the report.", "Discussion", "110. Support and satisfaction were expressed for the work of the Office in general and its important coordinating role in particular. Delegations stressed the need to strengthen support for infrastructure sectors, particularly in the areas of energy, transport, water and sanitation. In that regard, delegations acknowledged the work of the High-level Panel on the Presidential Infrastructure Initiative, which sought to further strengthen infrastructure development on the continent. Delegations also emphasized the need to improve the connectivity of road and rail chains, in particular by supporting the efforts of the regional economic commissions to promote regional infrastructure projects and thus promote regional integration. The vast majority of delegations noted that investment in infrastructure would bring many benefits to the African continent.", "111. In terms of governance, delegations expressed appreciation for the continued implementation of the African Peer Review Mechanism by the United Nations system, in particular the United Nations Development Programme, in partnership with Africa. Delegations also acknowledged the efforts of UN Women to increase the voice of women in governance and related processes. In this regard. Noting that investment in higher education was a key element in facilitating the advancement of women, delegations urged UN-Women and other key stakeholders to continue to address the issue as a matter of priority.", "112. In the area of peace and security, delegations welcomed the establishment of the United Nations Office to the African Union in Addis Ababa and stressed the need to strengthen the Office to enable it to carry out its mandate in close collaboration with the regional economic commissions. Delegations also commended UN-Women, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the United Nations Children ' s Fund for their collaboration in protecting women and children in armed conflict. Delegations further stressed the need to enhance the growing links between the United Nations Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council. In this regard, delegations expressed continued support for the African Union Peace Support Team of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations to assist the African Union in building its peacekeeping capacity on the continent.", "113. With regard to agriculture, food security and rural development, delegations welcomed United Nations efforts in that regard, particularly the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme. Delegations welcomed the progress being made in developing a comprehensive and integrated capacity-building programme for the African Union Commission and the NEPAD Food Security Planning and Coordination Agency. Delegations also recognized the important linkages between trade, infrastructure, industry and technology in enhancing agricultural productivity.", "114. In terms of industry, trade and market access, delegations emphasized that trade promotion was one of the main elements in the development of African economies. In that regard, delegations commended the efforts of the United Nations to promote trade in Africa, in particular the good work of the major bodies such as the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the World Trade Organization, the International Trade Centre, the World Bank and the World Customs Organization. In addition, delegations stated that trade facilitation and improvements in regional infrastructure were linked. Delegations also welcomed the Enhanced Integrated Framework for Trade-related Technical Assistance to Least Developed Countries.", "115. With regard to the environment, population and urbanization, delegations acknowledged that the consequences of climate change had negative ripple effects on the African continent. In this regard, delegations stressed the importance of reaching an African common position on climate change, in particular in anticipation of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20). With regard to social and human development, delegations noted the assistance provided by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS in drafting a comprehensive compilation of commitments on the African continent or on HIV/AIDS globally, noting that this was a focused approach to the serious health problems facing Africa. With regard to science and technology, delegations stressed the importance of training teachers and capacity-building in science, engineering and technology. In addition, delegations called for the use of distance learning institutions to facilitate the training of local teachers on the African continent.", "116. In terms of communications, advocacy and outreach, delegations were fully aware of the need to advocate for and support NEPAD at the global, continental, regional and national levels. In that regard, delegations emphasized the importance of the Val Consensus, which was aimed at facilitating the establishment of open and active channels of communication to further strengthen support for the African continent and its NEPAD programme.", "117. Delegations noted that the Office of the Special Adviser on Africa was responsible for promoting this main objective. However, in the absence of a separate Under-Secretary-General, the mandate of the Office was confused with that of small island States, landlocked countries and developing countries. Delegations indicated that they remained concerned about this arrangement.", "118. Some delegations expressed concern about the negative impact of the economic and financial crises on the development of developing countries in general and Africa in particular. In this regard, appropriate policy responses should be developed to mitigate socio-economic impacts and ensure progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.", "119. Delegations also recognized the importance of South-South cooperation in advancing Africa ' s development agenda and stressed the complementarity between South-South and North-South cooperation.", "120.

The Committee welcomed the annual report of the Secretary-General on United Nations system support for the New Partnership for Africa ' s Development and recommended that the General Assembly endorse the conclusions and recommendations contained in paragraphs 99 to 105 of that report.", "122. In recommending that the General Assembly endorse the recommendation contained in paragraph 103 of the report, the Committee also requested the Assembly to reconfirm the current budget cycle, as set out in the relevant resolutions of the General Assembly. In addition, the Committee recommended that the budget cycles adopted by the respective governing bodies of the member organizations of the United Nations system should also be taken into account.", "123. While recognizing that the work of the Secretary-General ' s report on United Nations support for the New Partnership for Africa ' s Development continued to improve and that the most recent report (E/AC.51/2011/4) responded better to previous calls for reporting on tangible actions and results of the United Nations system support for Africa-wide NEPAD projects, the Committee stressed that future reports should focus further on the impact of activities in support of NEPAD in terms of resources mobilized by entities of the United Nations system, in both qualitative and quantitative terms.", "124. The Committee took note of the decision taken by African leaders in 2001 on the basis of a shared vision and a firm and shared conviction that it was their responsibility to eradicate poverty and place their respective countries on a path of sustainable growth and development, to launch the New Partnership for Africa ' s Development (NEPAD), a programme for sustainable development and social revitalization of Africa, and recommended that the United Nations system use the tenth anniversary of the programme to renew its commitment to NEPAD through a monitoring mechanism based on existing mechanisms, to follow up on all commitments related to Africa ' s development and to regularly evaluate the impact of its support to the programme in order to gain a better understanding of what gaps remained to be filled and what progress could be made.", "The Committee noted that the United Nations system needed to revitalize its commitment to NEPAD by rationalizing the results-based system in order to monitor and evaluate its impact in supporting the implementation of NEPAD programmes. In this regard, the Committee reiterates the need to improve the overall coordination of all development programmes and projects in Africa.", "126. The Committee recommended that the United Nations system continue to enhance the coherence of its work in support of the New Partnership for Africa ' s Development, based on the clusters agreed upon in the Regional Coordination Mechanism for Africa, and called upon the United Nations system to continue to mainstream the special needs of Africa in all its normative and operational activities, including funding programmes and projects, resource mobilization and humanitarian assistance.", "127. The Committee recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to take the necessary measures to promote synergies among United Nations entities participating in the cluster system in order to eliminate duplication of effort and inefficient use of resources.", "128. The Committee recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to promote the necessary measures to improve monitoring and evaluation mechanisms in order to ensure that predefined indicators, expected accomplishments and indicators of achievement are included in the work plans of clusters and sub-clusters.", "129. The Committee recommended that the United Nations system work closely with the NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency (as the technical body of the African Union) and the African Union Commission and other NEPAD structures to further strengthen the implementation of the African Union/NEPAD Africa Action Plan 2010-2015.", "130. The Committee welcomed the support given by the United Nations system to the work of the High-level Panel on the President ' s Infrastructure Initiative, which aimed to promote regional infrastructure through political advocacy. The Commission recognized the importance of technical coordination and support for the initiative, in collaboration with the regional economic commissions, the African Development Bank and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, given the importance of infrastructure for advancing the regional integration agenda in Africa.", "131. The Committee reaffirmed that the primary purpose of the Office of the Special Adviser on Africa was to promote advocacy and support for NEPAD at the international, continental and regional levels. In this connection, the Committee notes that the position of statutory Under-Secretary-General, who heads this extremely important office, remains vacant. The Committee recalls once again General Assembly resolutions 57/7 and 57/300, by which the Assembly established the Office of the Special Adviser on Africa, and the recommendations of the Committee for Programme and Coordination and the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions, which were subsequently endorsed by the Assembly in its resolutions 62/236, 63/260, 64/243 and 65/244 and the decisions contained therein, and urges the Secretary-General to fill the vacancy in the post of Under-Secretary-General for the Office of the Special Adviser on Africa.", "132. The Committee recalled the Political Declaration on a Consensus on South-South Cooperation adopted by the High-level United Nations Conference on South-South Cooperation in Nairobi, Kenya, from 1 to 3 December 2009, and reaffirmed the urgent need for the Office of the Special Adviser on Africa to implement the fundamental principles of South-South cooperation in its efforts to advance the African agenda and the objectives of the New Partnership for Africa ' s Development, bearing in mind that South-South cooperation was not a substitute for but rather a complement to North-South cooperation.", "Provisional agenda for the fifty-second session of the Commission", "133. In accordance with paragraph 2 (e) of Economic and Social Council resolution 1979/41 and paragraph 2 of General Assembly resolution 34/50, the Committee shall submit to the Council and the Assembly for their review the provisional agenda for its fifty-second session, together with the required documentation.", "134. In its decision 1983/163, the Economic and Social Council requested the Secretary-General, before decisions were adopted, to bring to the attention of intergovernmental and expert bodies the need for documentation that exceeded the capacity of the Secretariat to prepare and process on time and within its approved resources, as well as to draw the attention of intergovernmental bodies to areas where duplication of documentation was likely to occur and/or where the consolidation of documents that dealt with related or similar themes might be possible, with a view to rationalizing documentation.", "135. The draft provisional agenda for the fifty-second session of the Committee is set out below.

2009年，收入下降了4%。除这一年以外，总收入继续呈上升趋势，在2006至2010年期间上升32%。总收入是“经常资源”(核心资源)、“其他资源-经常方案”和“其他资源-紧急情况”之和。", "3. 下图显示，这一显著的收入增长是其他资源收入强劲增长的结果。事实上，为儿童基金会核心活动供资的经常资源收入自2007年以来一直在下降。经常资源收入占总收入的百分比份额2010年为26%，2006年为38%。", "按资金类别分列的收入，2006-2010年", "(以百万美元计)", "[]", "4. 用于经常、非紧急情况方案的其他资源与2009年相比增长11%，与2006年相比增长51%。",

《儿童基金会财务条例和细则》规定，为了确保流动性，主计长应将现金余额保持在执行局核准的水平。执行局在1987年做出决定，将经常资源现金的最低年底余额定为下一年经常资源预计收入的10%(第1987/14号决定)。2003年，执行局建议延续这一政策。经常资源周转资金的实际数字证实，2006-2010年期间达到了流动性要求。这一最低流动资金限额目前为大约1亿美元。", "17. 儿童基金会还达到了相当于3至6个月支出的经常资源流动性审慎规定水平的要求，即2.7亿美元至5.4亿美元。这一审慎准则符合包括联合国系统在内的非营利性组织的惯例。", "三. 2011-2014年财务概算计划", "18. 本节提出2011-2014年期间财务总概算，同时考虑到不断变化的全球情况和儿童基金会的战略重点。财务计划是中期战略计划的组成部分，按滚动方式每年进行审查和修订。", "A. 收入", "19. 儿童基金会的收入来自各国政府、政府间组织、私营部门和组织间安排。私人捐款在儿童基金会总收入中所占份额自2006年以来一直是大约30%，预计中期内将保持在这一水平上下。", "20. 尽管全球经济在未来几年预计缓慢增长，并且许多捐助国政府面临持续的财政挑战，但儿童基金会预期各国政府以及公民个人和组织的捐款将保持稳定，甚至略有增长。", "21. 2010年，儿童基金会采取措施应对几个主要的人道主义紧急情况，导致捐款大量流入，但2011年的总收入预计将下降至32亿美元，接近2009年的水平。如表1所示，总收入预计在2012、2013和2014年将略有增长。", "经常资源收入", "22. 儿童基金会的经常资源收入反映潜在的货币兑换收益以及全球经济虽然缓慢但正在出现的复苏，预计在2010年将增长6%，达到10.27亿美元，并且在预测期的其余时间将继续略有增长。", "23. 各国政府的经常资源捐款总额2011年估计达到6.2亿美元，比2010年增长4 400万美元。由于许多国家的财政存在不确定因素，各国政府的经常资源捐款在预测期内预计为6.15亿美元至6.3亿美元之间。", "24. 私营部门收入预测的依据是动员私营部门支持实施中期战略计划优先事项的战略计划，同时考虑到最近业务经验和情况对儿童基金会私人筹款收入的影响。预测私营部门对经常资源的捐款在2010年显著下降之后，在2011至2014年期间会略有增长。2014年的预测金额为4.18亿美元，而2010年来自于私营部门的实际经常资源收入是3.34亿美元。", "25. 现金余额利息和低风险投资的收益为“其他收入”类别下的经常资源作出了贡献。由于全球利率都较低，投资收入预期在2011年再次下降，之后在2012年才会好转。", "26. 根据拟议财务计划，儿童基金会打算加强经常资源收入的筹款活动。据此，经常资源占总收入的百分比份额预计将从2010年的26%达到2014年的33%，从而增强财务可预测性及核心方案活动。", "其他资源收入", "27. 表1显示，其他资源捐款总额在2011年估计将达到22.01亿美元，在规划期间的其余时期将保持在大约这一水平。2011年的预测同2010年相比下降19%，但其中反映了2009年收到的实际其他资源收入。2010年的收入高峰反映所收到的用于支持海地和巴基斯坦紧急情况的大笔捐款。", "B. 支出", "28. 表2显示，收入波动预计不会对方案援助产生重大影响。导致2011年预计方案援助减少的原因是，2010年收到的用于紧急情况的其他资源收入特别高。", "29. 表2显示，2011年的总支出估计下降6%，下降到34.17亿美元。2012年总支出预期增加3%，2013年和2014年保持稳定。", "30. 预测期内任何一年的总支出估计都将高于往年，但2010年除外。", "经常资源支出", "31. 经常资源支出包括三个组成部分：方案援助、机构预算和杂项费用。", "方案援助", "32. 表3 显示，儿童基金会将尽力把由经常资源供资的方案援助数额保持在每年7.96亿美元。这一数额同2010年的实际支出相当，比2009年的数字高2 700万美元。尽管所预测的经常资源收入增长乏力，但儿童基金会打算维持2010年的方案支出水平。要做到这一点，一方面需要进一步减少周转资金，另一方面需要控制或减少行政费用。", "33. 对国家方案的经常资源分配将按照执行局2008年核准的修改后分配制度加以管理，这一制度向最需要的国家倾斜。表4显示2011年至2014年期间按年度分阶段落实已核定的、新的和未来的方案提案的经常资源支出情况。2011年初，以前年份核定的方案承付款余额为17.59亿美元，从2011年起开始落实。2011年向执行局提出的方案经常资源共计11.57亿美元，用于2012年开始的方案周期。", "34. 2012年，有待执行局核准的用于2013年开始的方案周期的方案提案经常资源估计总数为12.36亿美元。将根据有关收入预测的最新资料，不断审查及调整已纳入计划的方案支出数额。", "机构预算", "35. 2012-2013年机构预算(以前称为两年期支助预算)的首要目标是为发展成效和管理活动供资，提高儿童基金会为儿童交付高质量成果的能力。机构预算还为联合国的发展协调和特殊目的活动供资，诸如在符合国际公共部门会计准则的财务环境中推出单一的企业资源规划系统(即VISION系统，一个虚拟的综合信息系统)。", "36. 机构预算的经费来自于经常资源和其他资源的回收款项，并由执行局在本文件载列的财务计划以外另行核准。机构预算和财务计划都将提交执行局2011年第二届常会核准。", "37. 机构预算净额是机构预算中由经常资源供资的部分。2011年机构预算净支出估计为3.42亿美元(见表3)。下一个两年期的预计支出估计分别为3.06亿美元和2.94亿美元。预测数额减少反映出，将做出战略努力，以便控制行政费用，将资源最大限度地直接用于方案活动。", "其他资源支出", "38. 其他资源方案支出是在收入预测和可动用的基金结余基础上预估的。计划数字还考虑到儿童基金会打算加快利用可动用的其他资源。", "39. 表5显示，由其他资源供资的经常(非紧急)方案援助在2011年预计将减少，之后将增加，在2012年、2013年和2014年每年将增加到16.89亿美元。", "40. 2011年，紧急情况方案援助估计将比发生两次重大紧急情况的2010年低25%。紧急情况开支在2012年、2013年和2014年预计每年将达到7.11亿美元。", "C. 资金到位的准备金", "离职后健康保险", "41. 2008年(第2008/20号决定)，执行局核准每年为2010-2011年年度转账3 000万美元，以便继续为离职后健康保险的负债注资。由于经常资源预计将出现赤字(收入减去支出)，并且儿童基金会必须保持强有力的方案援助，2011年的年度转账可能暂停。这样做将不会对儿童基金会为这一负债供资的能力产生重大影响，如果经常资源的年末未用余额允许，将恢复转账。", "42. 与此同时，儿童基金会正努力制定一个更系统和渐进的战略，以避免目前这种每年都需要转账的情况。这一战略设想将注重认可工作人员赢得权利或者应向工作人员兑现权利期间(月份)的离职后健康保险权利。", "43. 2012年，儿童基金会将转而执行《国际公共部门会计准则》，在财务报表上将需要列示离职后健康保险应计负债及相关累计支出，无论资金额度是多少。这项规定将有助于透明度。", "D. 扣除准备金后的流动资金", "44. 2014年底，扣除准备金后的流动资金总额预计为19.04亿美元。这个数字中包括预计经常资源流动资本1.91亿美元、其他资源提供的预计现金余额11.81亿美元、以及信托基金的预计期末现金余额5.32亿美元。", "45. 2014年扣除准备金后的预计流动资金总额与2010年实际水平相比减少了30%。", "46. 表3底行显示的预计经常资源流动资本证实，2011-2014年期间将达到执行局规定的经常资源流动性要求。", "47. 更为苛刻的保持相当于3至6个月支出的经常资源流动性审慎水平要求(2.7亿美元至5.4亿美元)只能在2011年达到，在2012-2014年期间将低于这一门槛。为确保维持这一流动性准则，可能需要对预计收入额和支出进行调整。", "48. 其他资源方案和信托基金业务的资金充足，因为在多年期方案开始执行之前，就全额收到了捐助方的捐款。因此，其他资源的年底现金余额通常高于经常资源余额。儿童基金会打算在预测期内加快方案的实施，这反映在，其他资源现金余额到2014年将比2010年实际数额下降36%(见表5)。", "四. 决定草案", "1. 儿童基金会建议执行局核可下列决定草案：", "执行局", "1. 注意到E/ICEF/2010/AB/L.5号文件所载2011-2014年财务概算计划是支助儿童基金会各项方案的灵活框架；", "2. 核准2011-2014年财务概算计划框架，并核准编制最高额度为12.36亿美元的经常资源方案支出，提交执行局2012年会议。但这一数额须视资源供应情况而定，并须以财务概算计划继续有效为条件；", "3. 鉴于全球经济下滑的影响，核准如本报告的收入和支出预测得以实现，则2011年暂停向离职后健康保险准备金的3 000万美元年度转账，并请儿童基金会按照第2008/20号决定，在年末经常资源流动资本允许的情况下，继续向离职后健康保险准备金进行年度转账。", "附件", "财务概算计划表[1]", "1. 儿童基金会收入估计数", "2. 儿童基金会财务概算计划——经常资源和其他资源", "3.

It is projected to remain in the same range in 2012 before starting to grow modestly thereafter.", "A decline of 6 per cent in total expenditure is estimated for 2011, falling to $3,417 million in 2011.

Introduction", "1. A four-year financial plan forms part of the MTSP in accordance with Executive Board decision 2000/3. The financial plan is preceded by a review of the financial performance of UNICEF in the previous year, with highlights of the financial trends that evolved during a recent multi-year period. The purpose of the review is to provide key high-level information on income, expenditure and liquidity as baseline to the financial plan.", "II. Financial review, 2010", "A. Income", "2. Except for 2009, when it declined 4 per cent, total income continued its upward trend, rising 32 per cent between 2006 and 2010. Total income is the sum of “regular resources” (core resources), “other resources — regular” and “other resources — emergency”.", "[]3. As shown in the following graph, this remarkable income growth is the result of a robust increase of other resources income. In fact, regular resources income, which finances the core activities of UNICEF, has been declining since 2007. The share of regular resources income as a percentage of total income stood at 26 per cent in 2010, compared to 38 per cent in 2006.", "4. Other resources for regular, non-emergency programmes are up 11 per cent from 2009 and 51 per cent from 2006.", "5. Other resources income for emergencies increased sharply, by 54 per cent in 2010 compared to 2009. This was the result of a generous response to support humanitarian relief operations in Haiti and Pakistan.", "B. Expenditures", "6. Total UNICEF expenditures reached $3,653 million in 2010, an increase of 11 per cent compared to 2009 and of 55 per cent in relation to 2006, the first year of the current MTSP. The majority (92 per cent) of these expenditures were made towards programme assistance. Programme assistance expenditure grew by 14 per cent in 2010 and by a cumulative total of 58 per cent in the period 2006-2010.", "7. The top 10 countries with the largest programme assistance in 2010 are shown in the following table. They accounted for 42 per cent of the total programme expenditure.", "Programme assistance in 2010\n (in millions of United States dollars)", "Assisted country Total RR ORR ORE", "Pakistan 192 17 43 132", "Sudan 171 14 73 84", "Haiti 166 2 6 158", "Democratic Republic of Congo 161 58 44 59", "Zimbabwe 139 6 80 53", "India 137 42 95 0", "Ethiopia 135 43 52 40", "Afghanistan 116 39 55 22", "Nigeria 111 54 52 5", "Somalia 81 10 32 39", "Total 1 409 285 532 592", "C. Trust funds", "8. Trust funds are financial resources entrusted to UNICEF by governments, United Nations organizations and non-governmental organizations for pre‑determined purposes. Trust funds, which are not recognized as UNICEF income, cover primarily the cost of procurement of supplies but also other services undertaken by UNICEF on behalf of these entities.", "9. Receipts for trust funds represented an average of 22 per cent of the total UNICEF financial resources in the period 2006-2010. Procurement services enhance UNICEF strategies to support children, as they ensure the availability of essential supplies, such as vaccines and insecticide-treated bednets, for countries that need them the most.", "D. Reserves and liquidity", "Cash held for reserves", "10. Reserves in cash amounted to $289 million as at 31 December 2010. They comprise reserves for: procurement services, capital assets, after-service health insurance (ASHI) and staff separation. The latter two reserves, ASHI and the Separation Fund, account for 97 per cent of the total cash held for reserves.", "11. In 2003, the Executive Board approved the establishment of a funded reserve for ASHI (decision 2003/11). The reserve was increased by $30 million each year thereafter, bringing the balance to $240 million as at 31 December 2010. As requested by the Executive Board in its decision 2007/16 and in cooperation with other United Nations agencies, an actuary was engaged to perform actuarial valuations of the liability. Based on the latest study, issued in March 2010, the liability was valued at $464 million as at 31 December 2009. Therefore, the current reserve is equivalent to 52 per cent of the liability. These figures will be updated in the new actuarial study scheduled for the end of 2011.", "12. In 2006, the Executive Board approved the establishment of a separation fund to cover separation and termination liabilities. The fund is built upon a monthly basis by the net of total contributions less payments made. There was an increase of $11 million in the reserve in 2010.", "Liquidity after reserves", "13. Total unspent cash balance, after reserves, at the end of 2010 was $2,734 million: $422 million of regular resources, $1,845 million of other resources and $467 million of trust funds. Details are in tables 3, 5 and 6.", "14. Unspent cash balance from other resources in 2010 is 30 per cent greater than the 2006 figure, while other resources income grew 58 percent in the same period. Similarly, unspent cash balance from trust funds increased by 45 per cent between 2006 and 2010, while total receipts increased by 17 per cent. Contributions for both other resources and trust funds are received in full before implementation begins and are normally governed by multi-year agreements.", "15. The unspent cash balance from regular resources, after reserves, declined from a high of $652 million in 2008 to $422 million in 2010 after compensation for the continuous decline of regular resources income during this period.", "16. UNICEF Financial Regulations and Rules indicate that to ensure liquidity, the Comptroller shall maintain balances of cash at the levels approved by the Executive Board. The minimum year-end balance of regular resources cash was established as 10 per cent of projected regular resources income for the following year by the Executive Board in 1987 (decision 1987/14). In 2003, the Executive Board recommended the continuation of this policy. Actual figures of the regular resources working capital confirm that the liquidity requirement was met over the period 2006-2010. This liquidity floor is currently in the order of $100 million.", "17. UNICEF also met the requirement of a prudent level of liquidity for regular resources defined as the equivalent of expenditure for three to six months, i.e., $270 million to $540 million. This prudent guideline concurs with the general practice of non-profit organizations, including the United Nations community.", "III. Planned financial estimates for 2011-2014", "18. This section provides the aggregate financial estimates for the period 2011-2014, taking into consideration evolving global conditions and the strategic priorities of UNICEF. The financial plan forms part of the MTSP and is reviewed and revised annually on a rolling basis.", "A. Income", "19. UNICEF income comes from governments, intergovernmental organizations, the private sector and inter-organizational arrangements. The share of private contributions in UNICEF total income has been approximately 30 per cent since 2006 and is expected to remain around that level in the medium term.", "20. Despite the anticipated slow growth of the global economy in the next few years and the continuing fiscal challenges facing many donor governments, UNICEF expects contributions from both governments and private citizens and organizations to remain stable and even to grow modestly.", "21. In 2010, UNICEF responded to several major humanitarian emergencies that led to a large inflow of donations, and total income in 2011 is expected to decline to $3.2 billion, close to the level of 2009. Total income is then expected to grow slightly in 2012, 2013 and 2014, as shown in table 1.", "Regular resources income", "22. Reflecting potential currency-exchange gains and the recovery, albeit slow, of the global economy, UNICEF regular resources income is projected to increase 6 per cent in 2011 to $1,027 million, and to continue to grow modestly for the remainder of the forecast period.", "23. Regular resources contributions from governments are estimated to total $620 million for 2011, an increase of $44 million over the 2010 figure. Because of fiscal uncertainties in many countries, regular resources contributions from governments are projected to be between $615 million and $630 million during the forecast period.", "24. Income projections for the private sector are based on the strategic plan for mobilization of private sector support for the implementation of the MTSP priorities, taking into consideration the impact of recent operating experience and circumstances on private fundraising income for UNICEF. A modest growth is forecast in private sector contributions to regular resources in 2011-2014 after a marked decline in 2010. The forecast amount for 2014 is $418 million, while the actual regular resources income from the private sector was $334 million in 2010.", "25. Interest on cash balance and return on low-risk investments contribute to regular resources under the “other income” category. Income from investment is anticipated to decrease again in 2011 due to low global interest rates, before reversing direction in 2012.", "26. Under the proposed financial plan, UNICEF intends to invigorate fundraising efforts for regular resources income. Accordingly, the share of regular resources as a percentage of total income is expected to reach 33 per cent in 2014, from 26 per cent in 2010, thus enhancing financial predictability and core programme activities.", "Other resources income", "27. Other resources contributions are estimated to total $2,201 million in 2011 and remain at about that level for the remainder of the planning period, as shown in table 1. The 2011 projection represents a decrease of 19 per cent compared to 2010 but mirrors the actual other resources income received in 2009. The income peak in 2010 reflected large contributions received to support emergencies in Haiti and Pakistan.", "B. Expenditures", "28. Income fluctuations are not expected to significantly affect programme assistance, as shown in table 2. Reduction in projected programme assistance for 2011 is explained by the exceptionally high other resources income received in 2010 for emergencies.", "29. A decline of 6 per cent in total expenditure is estimated for 2011, falling to $3,417 million in 2011, as table 2 shows. Total expenditure is expected to increase by 3 per cent in 2012 and remain steady in 2013 and 2014.", "30. Total expenditures for any given year in the forecast period are estimated to be higher than previous years except 2010.", "Regular resources expenditures", "31. Regular resources expenditures comprise three components: programme assistance, institutional budget and miscellaneous charges.", "Programme assistance", "32. UNICEF will make every effort to maintain programme assistance from regular resources at $796 million per year during the planning period, as shown in table 3. This level corresponds to the actual expenditures for 2010 and is $27 million greater than the 2009 figure. Despite the anaemic growth in projected regular resources income, UNICEF intends to maintain the 2010 level of programme expenditures. This will be made possible in part by reducing further the working capital and in part by controlling or reducing administrative costs.", "33. Allocations of regular resources to country programmes will be managed according to the modified system for allocation approved by the Executive Board in 2008, which favours countries in greatest need. Table 4 indicates how regular resources expenditures on approved, new and future proposals for programmes will be phased each year from 2011 through 2014. At the beginning of 2011, the balance of programme commitments approved in prior years to be implemented from 2011 onwards was $1,759 million. The amount of regular resources for programmes proposed to the Executive Board for approval in 2011 totals $1,157 million for programme cycles that start in 2012.", "34. For 2012, the estimated total regular resources for programme proposals to be approved by the Executive Board is $1,236 million for programmes cycles that start in 2013. The level of planned programme expenditures will be continuously reviewed and adjusted based on updated information on projected income.", "Institutional budget", "35. The primary objective of the institutional budget for 2012-2013, previously referred to as the biennial support budget, is to finance development effectiveness and management activities that enhance the ability of UNICEF to deliver quality results for children. The institutional budget also finances United Nations development coordination and special purpose activities, such as the roll-out of the single Enterprise Resource Planning system (known as VISION, the Virtual Integrated System of Information)in a financial environment compliant with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS).", "36. The institutional budget is funded from regular resources and from recoveries from other resources and is approved by the Executive Board separately from the financial plan included in the present document. Both the institutional budget and the financial plan will be presented to the Executive Board for approval at its second regular session of 2011.", "37. The net institutional budget is the portion of the institutional budget funded from regular resources. Net institutional budget expenditure is estimated at $342 million for 2011 (see table 3). Projected expenditures are estimated at $306 million and $294 million per year for the next biennium. This decreasing projection reflects strategic efforts to curb administrative costs and maximize the direct use of resources in programme activities.", "Other resources expenditures", "38. Other resources programme expenditures are projected based on income forecasts and fund balances available. The planned figures also consider the intentions of UNICEF to accelerate the utilization of other resources available.", "39. As table 5 shows, programme assistance for regular (non-emergency) programmes funded from other resources is anticipated to decrease by 5 per cent in 2011 and increase afterwards to $1,689 million per year in 2012, 2013 and 2014.", "40. Programme assistance for emergencies in 2011 is estimated to be 25 per cent lower than that for 2010, when two major emergencies occurred. Emergency spending is projected to be $711 million per year in 2012, 2013 and 2014.", "C. Funded reserves", "After-service health insurance", "41. In 2008 (decision 2008/20), the Executive Board approved annual transfers of $30 million for the period 2010-2011 to continue funding the ASHI liability. This annual transfer may be suspended for 2011 due to the projected deficits (income minus expenditure) in regular resources and the imperative of UNICEF to maintain strong programme assistance. The suspension will have no significant impact on the organization’s ability to fund this liability, and the transfers will resume if permitted by year-end unexpended balances from regular resources.", "42. In the meantime, UNICEF is working to develop a more systematic and progressive strategy to avoid the ongoing need for such annual transfers. This strategy is envisaged to focus on the recognition of ASHI entitlements in the period (month) they were earned or became due to staff members.", "43. With the shift to IPSAS in 2012, UNICEF will be required to show the accrued ASHI liability and associated accrued expenses on the face of the financial statements, regardless of the level of funding. This requirement will aid transparency.", "D. Liquidity after reserves", "44. Total liquidity, after reserves, at the end of 2014 is projected at $1,904 million. This figure comprises projected regular resources working capital of $191 million, projected cash balance available from other resources of $1,181 million, and projected closing cash balance from trust funds of $532 million.", "45. The projected 2014 total liquidity after reserves represents a 30 per cent reduction compared to the 2010 actual level.", "46. The projected regular resources working capital as shown in the bottom line of table 3 confirms that the regular resources liquidity requirement established by the Executive Board will be met over the period 2011-2014.", "47. The more demanding requirement of maintaining a prudent level of liquidity for regular resources, defined as the equivalent of expenditure for three to six months ($270-$540 million), is planned to be met only in 2011 and fall below this threshold over the period 2012-2014. Adjustments to projected income levels and expenditures may become necessary to ensure maintenance of this liquidity guideline.", "48. Other resources programmes and trust fund operations are fully funded, as donor contributions are received in full for multi-year programmes before implementation begins. As a result, the year-end cash balance available for other resources is normally higher than that for regular resources. UNICEF intends to accelerate programme implementation during the forecast period, which is reflected in the 36 per cent reduction of the other resources cash balance by the year 2014 as compared to the 2010 actual level (see table 5).", "IV.

Approves the suspension of the annual transfer of $30 million to the after-service health insurance reserve for 2011 in view of the impact of the global economic downturn, should income and expenditure projections in the present report materialize, and requests UNICEF to continue making annual transfers to the after-service health insurance reserve, as per Executive Board decision 2008/20, if end-of-year working capital from regular resources so permits.", "Annex", "Planned financial estimates tables[2]", "1.

Trust funds are not included in UNICEF income and are used mainly for the purchase of supplies, but may also cover other services contracted by UNICEF on behalf of these entities.", "Trust funds accounted for an average of 22 per cent of total UNICEF financial resources for the period 2006-2010. Procurement services have strengthened the UNICEF support strategy for children as they ensure the supply of essential supplies such as vaccines and insecticide-treated nets to the countries most in need.", "Reserves and liquidity", "Cash held as reserve", "10. The level of the cash reserve amounted to $289 million as at 31 December 2010, including reserves for procurement services, capital assets, after-service health insurance and staff separations. The latter two reserves (after-service health insurance and separation funds) represent 97 per cent of the total cash reserve.", "In 2003, the Executive Board approved the establishment of a funded reserve for after-service health insurance (decision 2003/11). The reserve has since been increased by $30 million annually, leaving a balance of $240 million as at 31 December 2010. As requested by the Executive Board in its decision 2007/16 and in cooperation with other United Nations agencies, an actuarial valuation of the liability was conducted by an actuary. According to the latest study published in March 2010, the liability was valued at $464 million as at 31 December 2009. Thus, the current reserve amounts to 52 per cent of the liability. These figures will be updated in a new actuarial study scheduled for the end of 2011.", "12. In 2006, the Executive Board approved the establishment of a separation fund to cover separation and termination liabilities. The Fund would increase monthly net of disbursements, net of total contributions. In 2010, the reserve was increased by $11 million.", "Level of liquidity net of reserve", "13. At the end of 2010, the total unexpended cash balance, net of reserves, was $2,734 million: $422 million for regular resources, $1,845 million for other resources and $467 million for trust funds. Details are given in tables 3, 5 and 6.", "14. Unexpended other resources cash balances in 2010 increased by 30 per cent over 2006 figures, while other resources income increased by 58 per cent over the same period. Similarly, the unexpended cash balance of trust funds increased by 45 per cent between 2006 and 2010, and the total entry increased by 17 per cent. Other resources and trust fund contributions are received in full prior to implementation and are usually managed on the basis of multi-year agreements.", "15. The unexpended cash balance for regular resources, net of the reserve, has decreased from $652 million in 2008 to $422 million in 2010, after compensating for the continuing decline in regular resources income over the period 2008-2010.", "The UNICEF Financial Regulations and Rules provide that, in order to ensure liquidity, the Comptroller shall maintain the cash balance at the level approved by the Executive Board. In 1987, the Executive Board decided to set the minimum year-end balance of regular resources cash at 10 per cent of projected regular resources income for the following year (decision 1987/14). In 2003, the Executive Board recommended the continuation of this policy. Actual regular resources working capital figures confirm that liquidity requirements were met during 2006-2010. This minimum liquidity limit is currently about $100 million.", "17. UNICEF also met the requirement of prudent levels of liquidity for regular resources equivalent to three to six months of expenditure, from $270 million to $540 million. This precautionary rule is consistent with the practice of non-profit organizations, including the United Nations system.", "III. Planned financial estimates for 2011-2014", "18. This section presents the total financial estimates for the period 2011-2014, taking into account the changing global context and the strategic priorities of UNICEF. The financial plan is an integral part of the MTSP and is reviewed and revised annually on a rolling basis.", "Income", "UNICEF income comes from Governments, intergovernmental organizations, the private sector and inter-organizational arrangements. The share of private contributions in total UNICEF income has been about 30 per cent since 2006 and is expected to remain at that level or below in the medium term.", "20. While the global economy is expected to grow slowly in the coming years and many donor Governments face continuing financial challenges, UNICEF expects that contributions from Governments, as well as individual citizens and organizations, will remain stable or even increase slightly.", "21. In 2010, UNICEF interventions in response to several major humanitarian emergencies led to a large inflow of contributions, but total income for 2011 is expected to decline to $3.2 billion, close to the 2009 level. As shown in table 1, total income is expected to increase slightly in 2012, 2013 and 2014.", "Regular resources income", "22. UNICEF regular resources income, reflecting potential currency exchange gains and a slow but emerging recovery in the global economy, is projected to grow by 6 per cent to $1,027 million in 2010 and will continue to grow slightly over the remainder of the projection period.", "23. Total regular resources contributions from Governments are estimated at $620 million in 2011, an increase of $44 million over 2010. Due to financial uncertainties in many countries, regular resources contributions from Governments are projected to be between $615 million and $630 million during the projection period.", "24. Private sector income projections are based on a strategic plan to mobilize private sector support for the implementation of MTSP priorities, taking into account the impact of recent business experience and circumstances on UNICEF private fund-raising income. Private sector contributions to regular resources are projected to increase slightly between 2011 and 2014, following a significant decline in 2010. The projected amount for 2014 is $418 million, compared with $334 million in real regular resources income from the private sector in 2010.", "Interest on cash balances and the return on low-risk investments contribute to regular resources under the “other income” category. Owing to lower global interest rates, investment income is expected to decline again in 2011 before improving in 2012.", "Under the proposed financial plan, UNICEF intends to strengthen fund-raising activities for regular resources income. Accordingly, the share of regular resources as a percentage of total income is expected to increase from 26 per cent in 2010 to 33 per cent in 2014, thus enhancing financial predictability and core programme activities.", "Other resources income", "27. Table 1 shows that total other resources contributions are estimated to reach $2,201 million in 2011 and will remain at about this level for the rest of the planning period. Projections for 2011 show a 19 per cent decrease compared to 2010, but reflect actual other resources income received in 2009. The peak in 2010 reflected significant contributions received in support of emergencies in Haiti and Pakistan.", "B. Expenditure", "28. Table 2 shows that income fluctuations are not expected to have a significant impact on programme assistance. The decrease in projected programme assistance for 2011 is due to the particularly high level of other resources income received for emergencies in 2010.", "29. Table 2 shows that total expenditure for 2011 is estimated to have declined by 6 per cent to $3.417 billion. Total expenditure is expected to increase by 3 per cent in 2012 and to remain stable in 2013 and 2014.", "30. Total expenditures for any one year of the projection period are estimated to be higher than in previous years, except for 2010.", "Regular resources expenditure", "Regular resources expenditure comprises three components: programme assistance, institutional budget and miscellaneous expenses.", "Programme assistance", "32. Table 3 shows that UNICEF will make every effort to maintain the level of programme assistance funded from regular resources at $796 million per annum. This amount is comparable to the actual expenditure for 2010 and is $27 million higher than the 2009 figure. Despite the weak growth in projected regular resources income, UNICEF intends to maintain the 2010 level of programme expenditure. This would require, on the one hand, further reduction of working capital and, on the other hand, control or reduction of administrative costs.", "Regular resource allocations for country programmes will be managed in accordance with the modified distribution system approved by the Executive Board in 2008, which favours the countries most in need. Table 4 shows the pattern of regular resources expenditure to be phased in over the years 2011-2014 for the implementation of approved, new and future programme proposals. At the beginning of 2011, the balance of programme commitments approved for prior years was $1,759 million, with effect from 2011. Regular resources for programmes presented to the Executive Board in 2011 totalled $1,157 million for the programme cycle starting in 2012.", "34. In 2012, the total estimated regular resources for programme proposals to be approved by the Executive Board for the programme cycle starting in 2013 was $1,236 million. The planned level of programme expenditure will be reviewed and adjusted on an ongoing basis in the light of updated information on income projections.", "Institutional budget", "35. The primary objective of the 2012-2013 institutional budget (formerly referred to as the biennial support budget) is to fund development effectiveness and management activities to enhance the ability of UNICEF to deliver high-quality results for children. The institutional budget also funds United Nations development coordination and special purpose activities, such as the introduction of a single enterprise resource planning system (i.e., VISION, a virtual integrated information system) in an IPSAS-compliant financial environment.", "36. The institutional budget is funded from recovery from regular and other resources and approved by the Executive Board in addition to the financial plan contained in the present document. The institutional budget and financial plan will be submitted to the Executive Board for approval at its second regular session 2011.", "The net institutional budget is the part of the institutional budget funded from regular resources. Net institutional budget expenditure for 2011 is estimated at $342 million (see table 3). Projected expenditures for the next biennium are estimated at $306 million and $294 million, respectively. The decrease reflects a strategic effort to control administrative costs and to maximize the direct use of resources for programme activities.", "Other resources expenditure", "38. Other resources programme expenditure is estimated on the basis of income projections and available fund balances. The planned figures also take into account the intention of UNICEF to expedite the use of other resources available.", "39. Table 5 shows that regular (non-emergency) programme assistance funded from other resources is expected to decrease in 2011 and increase thereafter to $1.689 billion per year in 2012, 2013 and 2014.", "40. In 2011, emergency programme assistance is estimated to be 25 per cent lower than in 2010, when two major emergencies occurred. Emergency expenditures are expected to reach $711 million per year in 2012, 2013 and 2014.", "C. Funded reserves", "After-service health insurance", "41. In 2008 (decision 2008/20), the Executive Board approved an annual transfer of $30 million for 2010-2011 to continue to fund after-service health insurance liabilities. Annual transfers in 2011 may be suspended owing to the projected deficit in regular resources (income less expenditure) and the need for UNICEF to maintain strong programme assistance. This will not have a significant impact on the ability of UNICEF to fund this liability and will resume transfers if the year-end unspent balance of regular resources permits.", "At the same time, UNICEF is working to develop a more systematic and progressive strategy to avoid the current situation of annual transfers. This strategic vision will focus on the recognition of after-service health insurance entitlements for the period (month) during which staff members are either granted rights or should be released.", "43. In 2012, UNICEF will shift to the implementation of the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and will need to present in the financial statements the accrued after-service health insurance liabilities and related cumulative expenditures, regardless of the level of funding. This provision would facilitate transparency.", "D. Liquidity after reserve", "44. At the end of 2014, total liquidity net of the reserve is projected at $1,904 million. This figure includes projected liquidity of $191 million for regular resources, a projected cash balance of $1,181 million from other resources and a projected end-of-cycle cash balance of $532 million for trust funds.", "45. Total projected liquidity in 2014, net of the reserve, decreased by 30 per cent compared with the 2010 actual level.", "46. The projected liquidity of regular resources shown at the bottom of table 3 confirms that the regular resources liquidity requirements established by the Executive Board will be met during the period 2011-2014.", "47. The more stringent requirement to maintain a prudent level of regular resources liquidity equivalent to three to six months of expenditure ($270 million to $540 million) can only be met in 2011 and will fall below that threshold in the period 2012-2014. In order to ensure that this liquidity standard is maintained, adjustments may be required in the level of projected income and expenditure.", "48. Other resources programmes and trust fund operations are well funded because donor contributions were received in full prior to the start of the multi-year programme. Therefore, year-end cash balances for other resources are generally higher than the regular resources balance. UNICEF intends to accelerate programme implementation during the projected period, as reflected in the 36 per cent decrease in other resources cash balances by 2014 from the 2010 actual level (see table 5).", "Draft decision", "1. UNICEF recommends that the Executive Board approve the following draft decision:", "Executive Board", "1. Takes note of the planned financial estimates for 2011-2014 as contained in document E/ICEF/2010/AB/L.5 as a flexible framework for supporting UNICEF programmes;", "2. Approves the planned framework for the financial estimates for 2011 - 2014 and approves the preparation of programme expenditures for regular resources up to a maximum of $1,236 million for submission to the Executive Board at its session in 2012. However, this amount is subject to the availability of resources and is subject to the continued validity of the planned financial estimates;", "3. Approves, in view of the impact of the global economic downturn, the suspension in 2011 of the annual transfer of $30 million to the after-service health insurance reserve, should the income and expenditure projections in the present report be realized, and requests UNICEF to continue to make annual transfers to the after-service health insurance reserve at the end of the year, subject to the availability of liquidity for regular resources, in accordance with decision 2008/20.", "Annex", "Planned schedule of financial estimates [1]", "UNICEF income estimates", "UNICEF financial estimates plan — regular and other resources", "UNICEF planned financial estimates — regular resources", "4.

我们呼吁国际社会，包括联合国系统，特别是联合国教育、科学及文化组织根据分享教育领域的知识和良好做法的原则，通过加强区域和国际伙伴关系与合作，包括南北合作、南南合作和三角合作，加强协调和执行现有的全民教育政策、方案和后续机制。在这方面，我们注意到2011年6月2日和3日在东京举行的千年发展目标后续会议及其成果，包括与会者汇编的良好做法一览表。", "46.

We underline that support for education in emergency contexts should specifically address the gender-specific needs of girls in such contexts, inter alia their increased vulnerability to gender-based violence.", "36. We express serious concern that the least developed countries are starkly lagging behind in meeting most of the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals, despite having made some progress towards reaching the Millennium Development Goals, particularly in the field of universal primary education and gender equality in school enrolment. We recognize that education plays an important role in eradicating poverty and hunger and in promoting sustained, inclusive and equitable economic growth and sustainable development. We call for particular attention to and well-targeted support measures in favour of the least developed countries, in line with the Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2011-2020,[7] adopted by the Fourth United Nations Conference for the Least Developed Countries, held in Istanbul from 9 to 13 May 2011, in order to enable them to achieve the education-related Millennium Development Goals and the Education for All goals.", "37.

We encourage the private sector and foundations to increase their contribution to the financing of the education sector.", "43. We urge further exploration of new innovative finance mechanisms and the strengthening and scaling up of existing ones, where appropriate, given their potential to contribute to the development of educational systems. Such voluntary mechanisms should be effective and be aimed at mobilizing resources that are stable and predictable, which should supplement, and not be a substitute for, traditional sources of financing for development and be disbursed in accordance with the priorities of developing countries and not unduly burden them. We welcome the ongoing work of the Leading Group on Innovative Financing for Development and the Task Force on Innovative Financing for Education.", "44.

We call for a special focus on targeted support measures in favour of the least developed countries, in line with the Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2011-2020, adopted by the United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries, held in Istanbul from 9 to 13 May 2011, in order to enable them to achieve the education-related Millennium Development Goals and the Education for All goals.", "37.

We reaffirm the need for donors to fulfil their commitments to education, in particular basic education, and stress the importance of international financing as a key complementary source of domestic financing.

We recall the commitment to allocate at least 0.5 per cent of gross domestic product to official development assistance by 2010, and urge developed countries that have not yet done so to fulfil their commitments to provide official development assistance to developing countries.

We encourage the private sector and foundations to increase their contributions to finance the education sector.", "43. We urge that new and innovative financing mechanisms be further explored and, given the potential of existing mechanisms to contribute to the development of education systems, they should be strengthened and expanded, as appropriate. Such voluntary mechanisms should be efficient in order to mobilize stable and predictable resources, should supplement and not replace traditional sources of financing for development and should be allocated in accordance with the priorities of developing countries rather than imposing an undue burden on them. We welcome the ongoing work of the Leading Group on Innovative Financing for Development and the Task Force on Innovative Financing for Development and Education.", "44. We reaffirm the need for Governments to lead education in their own right, while stressing that significant progress can be made through strong partnerships between Governments, official institutions and local authorities and relevant stakeholders, including, as appropriate, the private sector, foundations, teachers ' unions and civil society, and the importance of parental and community participation in school decision-making for the overall improvement of the learning environment.", "45. We call upon the international community, including the United Nations system, in particular the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, to enhance coordination and implementation of existing EFA policies, programmes and follow-up mechanisms by strengthening regional and international partnerships and cooperation, including North-South, South-South and triangular cooperation, based on the principle of sharing knowledge and good practices in the field of education. In this regard, we note the follow-up meeting on the Millennium Development Goals, held in Tokyo on 2 and 3 June 2011, and its outcome, including a list of good practices compiled by participants.", "We call on the Economic and Social Council to continue to play its role in the follow-up to the progress made towards the education-related development goals.", "[1] * Reissued for technical reasons on 7 July 2011.", "See General Assembly resolution 65/1.", "[2] See United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, Final Report of the World Education Forum, Dakar, Senegal, 26-28 April 2000 (Paris, 2000).", "[3] Official Records of the Economic and Social Council, 2011, Supplement No. 9 (E/2011/27), chap.

"主席(以英语发言)：按照安理会暂行议事规则第37条，我邀请阿富汗、加拿大、日本、巴基斯坦和土耳其的代表参加本次会议。", "按照安理会暂行议事规则第39条，我邀请秘书长特别代表兼联合国阿富汗援助团团长斯塔凡·德米斯图拉先生参加本次会议。", "按照安理会暂行议事规则第39条，我邀请欧洲联盟驻联合国代表团代理团长佩德罗·塞拉诺先生阁下参加本次会议。", "安理会现在开始审议其议程上的项目。", "我提请安理会成员注意文件S/2011/381，其中载有秘书长关于阿富汗局势及其对国际和平与安全的影响的报告。", "我现在请德米斯图拉先生发言。", "德米斯图拉先生(以英语发言)：上次我向安全理事会通报情况时(见S/PV.6497)，正如安理会所知，我不顾规则，坚持要求让塔宁大使先发言，以此显示重视和尊重承认阿富汗为主权国家的日益增长的需要。但这次，塔宁大使坚持要求我重新按照规则办事，以显示阿富汗有意遵守国际规则。因此，经其允许，我将根据他的要求，按照过去做法首先发言。", "我们今天开会正值一个特别的十字路口。2011年7月是一个特殊的月份，因为已经做出开始过渡的决定。已经宣布要开始过渡，但其依据将是在国际社会同阿富汗当局将要举行的会议上作出的决定，这些会议将在7月中旬左右开始。7月也是我们将开始看到逐步执行奥巴马总统讲话宣布的国际部队，特别是美国部队逐步撤离的决定的一个月。换句话说，我们现在处在国家主权与其相应责任义务和持续冲突与包容性政治对话的十字路口。", "首先，关于过渡，它好比一列正向前行驶的火车。根据我所了解的各种迹象，而且正如我们在喀布尔过渡会议上所闻，过渡工作已经走上轨道。当然，过渡还将涉及7个地区和省市。一如既往，我们将发现恶魔藏在细节里。但过渡工作已经走上轨道。", "我们现在正在处理，而且在我之前提到的会议上承认我们应该进一步解决的一个问题，涉及过渡不能也不应该仅仅是关于安全的事实。其内涵应该更广，必须是阿富汗人民能够认识并认同的过渡。这正是我们现在共同努力，以确保过社会、经济和人权方面的成果与过渡挂钩的原因。在此意义上，虽然过渡像瑞士火车一样不可逆转，但我们同时也需要确保过渡的社会经济方面同样坚固而不可逆。", "在这方面，过去几天讨论，今后还可能再出现的一个设想是，我们能否把可能执行的一些与过渡有关的项目同某种“过渡红利”挂钩。换句话说，军事方面无疑会有所节省。其中部分资源可被用来确保阿富汗地方当局和过渡地区人民感受到对其发展的持续关心和实质性支持。联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)将根据其明确的任务规定，在这方面发挥作用，尤其是促进过渡的这方面工作。", "下面我要谈第二点，在阿富汗这通常排在第一，那就是安全。正如安理会所知，而且这方面不乏提醒，近来安全局势令人关注。但我们必须全面看待该问题。上帝知道我必须言语谨慎，4月1日刚发生悲剧。洲际酒店遭受了袭击。我们很多人住过这家酒店，知道它的象征性意义。这令人震惊。市内、军事医院，甚至国防部遭受了袭击。坎大哈连续两天遭受袭击，在赫拉特的意大利省重建小组遭受了袭击。", "但是，让我们全面认识这一问题。阿富汗军队和警察有效地处理了所有这些袭击事件，尽管有时处理过程相当混乱，因为大家都在学习训练的过程中。即使在洲际酒店，在某种程度上，最后是在国际安全援助部队直升机的支持下结束袭击的。但阿富汗部队依然冲在第一线。", "我认为这一点很重要，因为已经出现安全局势好转的认识，这也是事实。出现过高潮，人们对阿富汗局势在被扭转的认识有好转。但同样，反政府势力不断企图扭转人们的这种认识，发出戏剧性、外科手术式袭击的信号，如在他们称之为的“春季攻势”中，以及夏季。但我必须指出，到目前为止，第一印象依然占上风。阿富汗人一直能够驾驭局势。这并不意味着，在今后数周或可能数月，安全局势不会出现严重困难时刻，因为夏季还没有结束。", "因此十分重要的是，首先要解决平民伤亡问题，它影响到阿富汗人民；其次，实际进入另一个阶段，即寻求政治解决，正如希拉里·克林顿国务卿和奥巴马总统最近，以及卡尔扎伊总统一再表示的那样。大家都承认，不能想象用军事办法解决阿富汗问题。我们现在需要更有效地寻求政治解决办法。", "这意味着实现和解。这方面情况如何？大家都可以看到，已经进行了大量接触。不幸的是，也有向媒体泄漏消息的情况，这无助于这方面接触。但是显然需要对话，我们得到迹象显示，不久即将以更具体的方式恢复对话。", "与此同时，联合国正在尽自己的努力，与阿富汗当局和国际利益攸关方密切协调。我们仅集中于我们授权规定的任务和我们也许有增值效应的具体领域，即建立信任措施。建立信任措施是重要的，因为这些措施可为实质性讨论铺路，而实质性讨论只能由阿富汗人与阿富汗人进行。他们必须实施我们一贯倡导的，即确保这一切均由阿富汗人主导。", "但建立信任措施确实重要，尤其是在现在这个阶段。它们包括诸如解决平民伤亡问题和给塔利班一次机会，如果他们确实想要参加，让他们用事实而非言论切实表明他们有资格参加，减少他们对平民造成的巨大负面影响，尤其是在最近这段时间。", "其次，我知道这是我个人的判断，但是是建立在喀布尔许多人的认识基础上的，即安理会作出勇敢的决定，将第1267(1999)号决议所设委员会名单一分为二，区别对待基地组织和塔利班，方向显然是正确的，这样我们才能继续推动和解。举一个例子：高级和平委员会是最高权威机构，我们将实质性讨论提交该委员会，但该高级和平委员会中的一些成员居然依然被列在名单上。当我们作为联合国或联阿援助团为他们提供后勤或实质性援助，设法陪同他们出行或说服他们，确保会议举行时，这一问题很难处理。", "建立信任措施领域之一肯定是可能设立一个地点，让我们不要将其称之为一个机构，让塔利班和利益攸关方，特别是阿富汗合作伙伴之间最终能够举行会议而无不安全感，并有足够的谨慎气氛。现在还做不到，但是是努力领域之一。", "让我再补充一个过去几周已经提出的领域。它涉及教育。在塔利班垮台后，如果有一个领域的改进国际社会和阿富汗当局应引以为豪的，那就是教育。阿富汗现在700万儿童入学、上学，其中许多是女孩。在塔利班执政时期，我们不断看到就大到学校小到女童问题所作的悲剧性决定。有一些迹象表明，他们似乎第一次发出这样的信息——甚至是公开通过因特网发出信息——即他们或许已从这一错误当中汲取教训。我们希望这不只是一个战术决定，而是确实表明他们不愿袭击学校。", "也有一些反面迹象。一些老师最近受到影响，但总体来说，我们自己的研究表明，在塔利班存在明显影响的某些地区新建的大约400所学校，其遭受的袭击大量减少。瓦尔达克部长提请我注意这一点。我们将与儿童基金会一起，继续研究这种情况。如果这是一种趋势，我们将视之为建立信任措施。但这一点尚需核实。", "有一个方面的问题，我认为我们在讨论和解问题时必须要提到。这就是重返社会问题。体制性架构是存在的，安理会所有成员都为切实确保这项工作最终得以妥善完成作出了大量贡献——有些成员作出了非常大的贡献。迄今为止，已经出现了一些动能和势头。1 800多人目前参与了重返社会方案。但仍然存在着挑战。", "首先，显然在真正实现和解之前，将很难看到强劲势头。但是做好准备以便吸引有关人员和应对可能出现的变化，这一点非常重要。证据就是1 800这个数字。我们有些担心，而且正在想办法确保对有关人员进行充分审查。我必须向安理会介绍的一点是，马扎里沙里夫遇袭事件的一个初步迹象是，以暴力手段残暴杀害我的同事的五个人中有三人其实是重返社会的前塔利班分子。这首先表明，我们必须非常仔细地进行审查，而在最终实现和解之前，审查工作不会没有漏洞。", "我接下来要说的一点是，无论是否实现和解，如果不从区域角度解决问题，和解就无法永远保持下去。所以，在过去几个月中，我们一直非常满意地关注着双边、三边和多边会议大量增加的现象，从上海进程到阿富汗、巴基斯坦与美国当局举行的一些会议。对于在伊斯坦布尔召开的会议也是如此，除了巴基斯坦和阿富汗之外，伊朗也参加了这些会议。因此，我们希望并相信11月2日举行的伊斯坦布尔会议将是处理该问题的一个好机会。", "正如安理会成员所知，目前存在着一个国际联络小组。它是一个非正式的组织，但其影响力正在不断增强。我们曾在喀布尔开过一次非常好、很具建设性的会议。鲁丁副外长在会上除了谈到与过渡有关的其它主要问题之外，还提出了一项我们计划给予支持的倡议。该倡议将确定我们能否在伊斯坦布尔根据早些时候的巴尔干模式或是赫尔辛基进程模式就稳定问题达成某种程度的谅解。换句话说，它将寻求达成某种书面文件，使各方能够对彼此稳定会得到加强这一点感到放心。", "当然，如果还能有一项支持该机制和用于在区域范围采取激励措施的财政信托资金则会更有意义。到举行伊斯坦布尔会议时，这一切可能都会被提出来讨论，但我们肯定会与阿富汗和土耳其当局、该地区及其之外的所有与会者合作，在这方面把某些工作做起来。", "在区域谅解问题上此刻无疑还存在着一些阴影，比如阿富汗和巴基斯坦边境目前的局势。这一点不应过分渲染，而且坦率地说，应当由阿富汗人和巴基斯坦人来讨论。他们最近在伊斯兰堡和阿富汗都举行了很具建设性、很有益的会议，他们永远都会是邻居。我们在那里只会停留一段时间，但他们将永远在那里。所以，我们在关切地看待这些事件的同时，也希望此类双边讨论是正确之举。", "还有另一个问题对于区域环境来说具有重要意义，这就是某些区域邻国担心阿富汗当局与特别是美国达成的战略协约或谅解的性质依然模糊。一些国家非常担心，外国会在阿富汗设立大型永久性基地。我们一直在努力让所有人放心，其实情况并非如此，实际上应当由阿富汗当局来说明可能达成的任何战略协议的真正性质，从而让邻国感到放心。我曾经去过该地区，因此我知道，我们认为在伊斯坦布尔会议之前最好能够明确解决该问题。我们希望能够如此。美国当局——甚至是五角大楼最高领导层——发表了一些声明，试图在这方面让人们放心，这样做非常正确，但再多做一些工作可能会有助于消除这种疑虑。", "因此，我要谈谈另一个问题——缉毒问题。在国际社会对阿富汗工作重点可能逐步转变的情况下，人们担心所谓的经济环境将发生变化。事实证明了这一点。军队缩编还将削弱与强大军事存在有着资金联系的一切工作的成效。我的联合国毒品和犯罪问题办公室的同事的具体担心就是，我要提请安理会关注这一点，毒品经济对于某些阿富汗人的吸引力到时会增强。因此，重要的一点是，我们绝不能忘记这方面的问题。正如安理会成员所知，该问题不仅对阿富汗而且还会对其邻国造成实质性影响。", "因此，我要谈谈人权问题。如果说有什么东西我认为会让人们记住联合国在阿富汗开展的工作，那恐怕就是坚守阵地，高举必须尊重人权的旗帜。所以，平民伤亡问题才如此重要，而且坦率地说，特别令塔利班非常头疼。他们曾多次对我们说，这个问题对他们造成了伤害。我们一直告诉他们，这是可以避免的——那就是不要伤害平民。", "这对国际安全援助部队和北约的介入特别是空袭也产生了影响。我知道犯下的这些错误正引起美国和北约当局日益关注，而塔利班在很多地方实施的恐怖行径——比如最近袭击银行和医院——也已引起人们的关注，他们因此感到恼火。我们希望这将有助于所有人特别是塔利班明白，他们认为自己拥有的民众支持有时候会因为其导致的严重平民伤亡而受到影响。", "妇女问题仍然十分重要。议会里有69名妇女。我们期望她们能够捍卫阿富汗妇女取得的成就，但我们仍担心我们收到的有关很多令人关切的案件的报告，比如在妇女离家居住或决定不结婚时，司法机关有时会惩罚她们。", "儿童问题显然也是如此。发生了利用儿童作为人体炸弹的事件。还发生了袭击儿童的事件，其严重程度引起了负责儿童与武装冲突问题的秘书长特别代表的关注。", "在人道主义方面，我需要提请安理会注意一个领域。此时此刻，福利方案正面临资源困难。这是我们自己的亮点方案之一，力求向阿富汗人民表明，我们任何时候都不会放弃他们，同时实际上为600多万儿童提供食品。此刻，由于缺乏资源，该方案不得不大幅削减受惠者人数。我提请大家注意这个问题，是因为它对我们每一个人来说都是一个重要问题。", "援助的协调一致性至关重要，同样重要的是要承认存在一个负责援助协调性的机构。它叫做协调和监察联合委员会(协监委)。协监委是一个极好的机构——没有必要再创建一个新机构。联合国擅长设立新机构，所以我不愿建议设立一个新机构。恰恰相反，应该加强协监委。协监委有可能也有潜力处理援助协调性问题。但是有一片阴云——那就是喀布尔银行问题。我无需提醒安理会这一点，但是这是一个从某种程度上说目前阻碍在协监委方面取得进展、甚至阻碍后续执行喀布尔会议的重要问题。", "这个问题不归安理会管，而是由国际货币基金组织(基金组织)负责。基金组织已经介入，并且为Zakhilwal部长说句公平话，为确保让国际社会和基金组织放心而要求制订的10个指标中的8个已得到处理，但还有2个指标有待处理。我们希望并一直促使基金组织注意阿富汗拖欠可能造成的后果，如果不批准，那么拖欠就不会即将发生，但这无疑是一个令人关切的问题。与此同时，喀布尔银行对于阿富汗当局来说是一个严重问题——8亿美元不是一个掩盖得了的数字。因此，眼下正重点严肃关注这件事。", "安理会非常熟悉的问题——议会危机——也是如此。我们原本希望，在举行选举10个月、总统庄严宣布议会就职后6个月不会发生这种事。那样的话，我们原本会经历一场虽不完美、但却是由阿富汗机构在持续的政治进程中举行的选举。", "不幸的是，事情并非如此。一个特别法庭表示，有61名议员也许应离职。安理会知道，当前局势紧张。我们的立场就是安全理事会的立场——12月22日。我们不会改变它。第二个立场是，事实上，司法机构有权起诉任何犯罪人，但无权改变选举结果，并且解决办法必须是阿富汗人主导的政治解决办法，而不是司法解决办法。", "我们充满希望，并将继续以安理会的名义，与阿富汗当局共同努力，避免这场机构危机久拖不决。阿富汗需要制衡；它需要议会、行政部门和司法机构携手努力。此时此刻，天空中有一片阴云，但是，因为我是一个乐观主义者，所以我预计在该问题上不会“下太大的雨”。", "经安理会允许，我想说的最后一点是发出一个信息。从任何意义上来说，这都是一个过渡阶段。但是还有一个我们必须确保阿富汗人听到的信息，即2014年将不同于1989年。他们担心，也有理由担心，在其近代史中第三次被国际社会彬彬有礼地抛弃。我知道这不是我们的本意，当然也不是联合国或联阿援助团的本意。我们将审视我们的足迹。我们将审查我们必须以怎样的方式来工作，因为到处都在进行过渡。但是我们将长期驻留在那里——如果所有人都在那里，而且如果阿富汗人民想要我们长期驻留。我认为，从国际角度来看，我们需要不断向阿富汗人保证这样做。这将帮助他们在这个困难时期完成过渡。", "主席(以英语发言)：我感谢秘书长特别代表斯塔凡·德米斯图拉的通报。", "我现在请阿富汗代表发言。", "塔宁先生(阿富汗)(以英语发言)：主席先生，首先，请允许我祝贺你担任7月份安全理事会主席。我还要对你个人发挥的作用以及德国在安理会处理阿富汗问题上发挥的重要作用表示赞赏。", "我愿热烈欢迎我的好友、秘书长特别代表斯塔凡·德米斯图拉回到安理会。我感谢他的客气话和溢美之词，感谢他的全面通报，以及感谢他介绍了秘书长的报告(S/2011/381)。", "随着世界进入一个后本·拉丹时代，恐怖主义最大的受害者阿富汗今天正处在寻求和平与稳定的紧要关头。根据北约里斯本首脑会议的成果，我们开始了过渡进程。在今后几天，我们将在阿富汗7个省份：喀布尔、潘杰希尔、巴米扬、赫拉特省赫拉特市、巴尔赫省马扎里沙里夫市、拉格曼省米特拉姆市以及赫尔曼德省拉什卡尔加市实施该进程的第一个阶段。", "过渡振奋人心地要求阿富汗人在国家自主权和领导权上发挥主导作用，并要求阿富汗政府承担起其主权职责。我们认为，过渡是一个谨慎制定的全面战略，它不仅预先假定在2014年底前逐渐向阿富汗当局移交安全职责，而且还预先假定国际部队妥善缩编、加快对阿富汗军队和警察的培训、加强治理、制定关于多层面合作的新区域议程，以及确保与美国和北约重建战略伙伴关系的前景。", "阿富汗政府继续做出关键努力，以确保过渡进程顺利、可行。但是，毫无疑问，要想过渡进程取得成功并保持可持续性，就必须满足一些先决条件。首先也是最重要的是，我们指望我们的国际伙伴加速培训和装备我国安全部队，并为其提供必要的成功要素。", "上个月，美国总统奥巴马宣布将从阿富汗逐步撤出美国部队。我们欢迎这一决定，认为它符合阿富汗和国际社会最近达成的共识，即从主要为军事介入转为2014年以后更加坚实和持久的伙伴关系。奥巴马总统的宣布首先证明阿富汗安全部队具有稳定的能力，其次也证明战争势头发生了变化，尽管最近塔利班发起了猛烈袭击。", "与一些解释恰恰相反，国际部队没有在最后阶段进行缩编，或者像某些人所说的那样，国际社会开始与阿富汗脱离接触。过去10年，为实现我们的共同目标，实现我国和地区的持久和平与安全，我们抛洒了大量汗水和热血，并做出了许多牺牲。", "最近上演的所谓“精密袭击”的宣传心理剧，如上周对喀布尔洲际饭店的袭击以及在洛加尔省一家医院残杀12名平民的事件，显然是阿富汗的敌人精心策划的企图，目的是激起人们的恐惧，阻止对阿富汗的国际支助，并使一些国家饱经战乱的人们相信，战争是打不赢的。", "此外，最近的运动寻求破坏和平会谈的前途，并且削弱和解的前景。那些为恐怖分子和极端分子提供资金、武器和战略指导的人对持续杀戮和残害阿富汗无辜平民的行为负有同等责任。因此迫切要强调的是，必须铲除继续制造和培养冷酷无情的杀手和无休止破坏阿富汗分子的庇护所。", "不过，恐怖行径不会动摇我们确保阿富汗和平与稳定的决心。我们高兴地看到，目前已经存在一个有利于与武装反对派成员进行建设性接触和对话的环境。我们将把和解进程作为一个优先事项来推进，这符合没有纯粹的军事解决办法和过渡需要包容各方的解决方案的认识。和解旨在给国家带来和平、繁荣和团结。和解不是要放弃任何领土控制权，也不是要顾及阿富汗政府权威以外的任何代表。高级和平委员会正在与塔利班以及本区域的其它重要行为体接触，以便结束暴力，实现持久和平。这是一项包括妇女在内的社会各界都参与其中的努力。", "此外，我们正开始把重点放在和解进程的区域层面上。我们再次强调，巴基斯坦在实现和平与和解方面具有重要作用，在这方面，我们强调，我们两国之间的建设性协作非常重要。我们必须采取必要的建立信任措施，使这种协作继续下去。最近在库纳尔省和楠格哈尔省发生了数百起炮击事件，造成数十人死亡，其中包括妇女和女孩，这些对阿富汗东部边界的武装侵犯令阿富汗人民和政府深感不安和关切，并且有可能有损阿富汗与巴基斯坦之间的合作精神。我们敦促立即停止此类袭击。", "安全理事会最近决定把制裁塔利班制度与制裁基地组织制度分开，这是支持我们的和平与和解倡议的明智举动。它为我们的由阿富汗主导的和解进程提供了新动力。我们也赞赏安理会决定满足我们的除名请求，并要促请安理会更多地关注我们提出的额外请求，这些请求尚未得到满足。", "最近阿富汗问题国际联络小组第十次会议在喀布尔举行，得到了50多个国家以及国际和区域组织的广泛参与，其重点是和解、区域合作、向阿富汗行使领导权和自主权过渡以及2014年以后的国际支持。这次会议是即将举行的旨在制订一项稳定契约的阿富汗问题伊斯坦布尔会议的前奏的组成部分，也是将于今年晚些时候在波恩举行的国际会议的先导，该会议将审查在过渡目标方面取得的进展，并且寻求国际社会在推动政治进程，包括和解与区域合作关系方面的长期支持。", "在阿富汗历时十年之久的国际和区域互动交流目前带来了一条新的丝绸之路，界定了区域合作的共同利益。今年，我们与本区域的邻国进行了越来越具体的合作，扩大了理解的领域和共同努力的范围。在卡尔扎伊总统上个月访问伊斯兰堡期间，他构想了与巴基斯坦开展紧密合作和实现共同愿景，以求促进和平与发展的富有希望的前景。在这次访问之后，与阿富汗、巴基斯坦和美国核心小组三方框架进行了广泛讨论，该框架最近在喀布尔举行了第三次会议。", "在曼莫汉·辛格总理最近的一次访问中，印度提出支持阿富汗和解进程，并且宣布大幅增加对阿富汗的援助。我们还与伊朗、俄罗斯、中国、中亚和南亚各国以及阿拉伯世界开展大量交流。一个和平与稳定的阿富汗能够为区域繁荣与安全提供的机会比以往更为显而易见。我们将继续与区域伙伴进行建设性接触，以实现我们的共同目标。", "确保阿富汗的安全和它的未来事关增强这个国家的力量，使它能够自力更生，并且掌握自己的命运。在这方面，我们期待着即将对联阿援助团任务规定进行的审查，这对使联合国的作用与过渡期不断变化的需求保持一致至关重要。我们坚信，，一个以“一体行动”办法为基础、更加和谐、精简和协调的联合国对提高本组织在阿富汗的效率和效力来说至关重要。我们期待着与联合国在过渡期和过渡期之后保持持久伙伴关系。", "阿富汗政府将继续改善治理，加强打击腐败，并且加强我们国家机构的透明度和问责制。为此，我们将在现有措施的基础上再接再厉，以确保对一切参与非法活动的人追究责任。阿富汗政府最近逮捕了喀布尔银行涉及金融管理不当行为的两名高级主管，证明我们坚定致力于问责和法治。我们已经向检察长办公室提交了所有被指控个人的名单。对喀布尔银行案的全面调查目前正在进行，而且应当导致债务得到清偿，并且把案中所有罪犯绳之以法。我们坚信，最后的调查结果将满足阿富汗人民和我们国际伙伴的要求。", "目前正在继续进行协商，以解决由于议会选举期间不正常现象而产生的争议。我们没有面临宪政危机。阿富汗政府充分致力于在法律和政治解决的框架内解决这个问题。", "太多无辜的阿富汗人因旷日持久的暴力、不安全和战事丧生。平民伤亡不仅仅是数字，它们意味着男男女女、儿童、村中长者、卫生工作者、教师和援助工作人员无辜生命的丧失。塔利班对这些杀戮行为负有主要责任，而且表明，它们在对无辜平民或那些保护当地居民的人叩动扳机时完全丧失了良知。不过，尽管北约部队本身多次要求致力于保护平民，但它造成的平民伤亡依然惨重。我们再次呼吁立即制止平民伤亡的情况。", "在我们向前推进的时候，我们必须考虑战争结束后的阶段，并且以确保在所有领域——安全、治理和发展——都取得可持续进展为方向。我们的目标依然是建立一个和平、稳定、民主和繁荣的阿富汗的愿景。为了实现这一目标，我们必须在过去取得成就的基础上更进一步，并且建立一个与本区域合作的可行框架以及阿富汗与国际社会之间的长期伙伴关系。未来几年对我们取得共同成功将至关重要。携手合作，我们将能够实现我们在10年前开始的任务。", "主席(以英语发言)：我现在请安理会成员发言。", "维奥蒂夫人(巴西)(以英语发言)：我感谢秘书长特别代表斯塔凡·德米斯图拉先生所作的通报和他在非常艰苦的条件下进行的出色工作。我也感谢查希尔·塔宁大使所作的发言。", "虽然阿富汗的局势出现了进展，但最近安全事件增多令人痛苦地注意到，前方仍然存在诸多挑战。", "巴西对最近阿富汗境内敌视联合国人员的迹象感到悲痛，也感到震惊。我们强烈谴责对联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)进行这种残暴的袭击。我借此机会重申巴西对联合国工作的信心，帮助奠定阿富汗持久和平与发展的基础和我们支持阿富汗政府进行过渡努力。我们欣悉联阿援助团在阿富汗各地执行加强安全的项目。", "巴西也对阿富汗内乱的升级感到关切。在经历多年的战争和暴力之后，阿富汗社会不应继续被迫承受战争的祸害。冲突伤亡的增加不应仅仅被当作冲突的意外后果。有关各方必须继续竭尽全力保护平民并遵守国际人道主义法规定的义务。这场冲突不可能有军事解决办法，而我认为我们都同意这种看法。必须密切关注喀布尔进程，直到完成向阿富汗完全承担领导和责任的过渡。", "尽管面临当前的困难，必须继续推动向阿富汗承担安全责任的过渡。本着同样的精神，执行阿富汗政府阐述的国家优先方案对于建立阿富汗所需的能力和基础设施至关重要，以便在国际军事部队缩小编制时促进其社会和经济的发展。", "在任何情况下，达成和解依然是政治解决阿富汗冲突的核心。对话是为该国的未来奠定坚实基础的途径。巴西支持执行阿富汗和平和重返社会方案审查会议商定的措施。巴西通过加强在喀布尔的部署，随时准备同阿富汗人民及其政府一道为未来的和平与发展作出努力。", "乔拉科维奇女士(波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那)(以英语发言)：我谨代表我国代表团感谢斯塔凡·德米斯图拉先生的全面通报和塔宁大使的发言。", "我们欣见，阿富汗政府继续开展喀布尔进程，包括成功地拟定了22个国家优先方案中的11个方案。我们希望能够同捐助国进行协调，成功地解决这些方案的供资问题。阿富汗政府现在必须在其他重要国家优先方案中取得具体成果，包括在司法和省级治理领域中，它们对国家的更好运作都至关重要。我们赞扬联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)对执行喀布尔进程提供的重要支持。", "至于阿富汗政府接管国家安全的问题，波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那希望，最近在喀布尔和其他地区发生的事件不会对卡尔扎伊总统3月宣布和定于本月开始的过渡工作造成负面影响。我们也注意到，美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马先生最近宣布将从阿富汗部分撤军，随后联合王国和德国也作出同样宣布。这意味着今后对阿富汗的未来以及对评估国际社会这么多年来已经完成的工作都极端重要。在这方面，我们特别欢迎联阿援助团发挥作用，协助发展伙伴和国际安全援助部队开展对话，做到把发展工作纳入过渡规划之中。", "实现阿富汗未来的另一个重要因素就是阿富汗人民领导开展和解与重返社会进程。看到为加强这一进程所作的努力继续获得国际社会的有力支持，包括特别代表和联阿援助团所做的宝贵工作，这让我们感到鼓舞。此外，第1988(2011)号决议的通过和塔利班制裁制度的建立也是支持开展和解努力的积极步骤。", "我们重申，和解与融合是和平进程的关键要素。我们完全理解，在人员和政治层面，这样一个进程可能非常敏感，因此，有可能遭遇各种障碍。然而，我们继续认为，除了由阿富汗人民领导开展和解与重返社会的进程之外，别无选择，并且这个进程今后必须成为优先事项。据报反叛分子重返社会工作取得了进展，这种迹象令人鼓舞，尤其是其中包括了至今未取得该领域重大进展的坎大哈。", "尽管阿富汗的政治事态发展继续朝着正确方向前进，但我们仍然对阿富汗的安全局势感到严重关切。具体而言，联合国的统计数字显示，今年5月是平民死亡人数最多的一月，同2010年相比伤亡人数大大增加。波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那强烈谴责6月25日对洛加尔医院进行的袭击，造成重大伤亡。根本不可能为这种针对无辜平民犯下的罪行进行辩护。我们也谴责最近对喀布尔一家旅馆发动的袭击，并再次谴责对联阿援助团在马扎里沙里夫的驻地的袭击，造成联阿援助团3名人员的伤亡。必须继续要求冲突各方严格遵守国际人道主义法规定的义务并保护平民，同时大力强调，杀害平民和无辜人民的做法是犯罪行为。", "我们还看到，当前的冲突直接导致流离失所的人数大量增加。我们同意秘书长的看法，鉴于它们破坏稳定的可能性，冲突引起的流离失所以及未向重返社会工作提供支助，不仅仅是人道主义问题，而且也是严重的安全关切。联合国各个机构发挥了关键的作用，支持阿富汗难民和流离失所者返回家园以及这些人可持续地重返社会。在这方面，我们绝不能忘记清除未爆弹药的问题，因为只有27%的雷区获得清除。", "我们也赞扬联合国毒品和犯罪问题办公室为解决毒品生产问题所作的努力。生产毒品仍然是反政府部队和恐怖分子的生命线。我们积极参加《巴黎公约》进程中的联合国际努力，以便查禁甚或取缔毒品贩运，它对供应国和需求国双方的安全都造成重大影响。", "最后，我们认为，区域合作，包括同邻国伊朗、巴基斯坦和印度的合作，只会有利于解决与阿富汗持久和平与稳定有关的所有重要问题。我们欢迎加强对话与合作。我们也赞扬土耳其为支持阿富汗稳定和经济发展作出的努力，以及将于2011年11月2日举行的阿富汗问题伊斯坦布尔会议，并赞扬阿富汗的邻国在伊斯坦布尔举行的最不发达国家第四次会议期间，对阿富汗的主权、独立和领土完整作出的承诺。", "最后，我们感谢特别代表斯塔凡·德米斯图拉先生、联阿援助团工作人员和阿富汗境内全体联合国人员所做的坚持不懈和兢兢业业的工作。", "奥索里奥先生(哥伦比亚)(以西班牙语发言)：主席先生，首先请允许我在你和贵国担任本月份安全理事会主席之际向你表示祝贺并祝愿你取得圆满成功。我还要感谢加蓬代表、我们的好朋友内尔松·梅索尼大使上个月极为沉着、认真地主持我们的工作。", "我要欢迎并感谢秘书长特别代表兼联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)团长斯塔凡·德米斯图拉先生，并感谢他作非常全面、认真的介绍。他的介绍非常清楚地阐明了阿富汗目前局势的各个方面、今后应当密切注意的现实因素以及对过渡和未来巩固进程的看法。我还要欢迎查希尔·塔宁大使。", "我要强调联阿援助团在改进阿富汗稳定和民主化进程方面所做的非常重要的贡献，及其同阿富汗政府齐心协力，以便为阿富汗的可持续和平与发展奠定基础的决心。我们认为，联阿援助团应当根据其任务授权，继续注重在至关重要的方面支持阿富汗政府，例如协助促进和平与和解、安全、治理、经济发展和区域合作的政治进程。", "我国代表团对安全事故数量的增加，尤其是对4月1日发生的袭击联合国工作人员和设施的事件深感遗憾。我们欢迎并支持特别代表为改善工作人员安全状况所开展的活动，欢迎并支持阿富汗政府承诺继续支持联阿援助团。不过，令人十分关切的是，反对国际民事和军事存在的公众示威日益频繁。对这一局面应当予以最大关注。", "同样，我们赞扬有关方面作出努力，争取让阿富汗人承担更大的责任和发挥更大的领导作用，并继续按照时间表行事，以便阿富汗部队至迟到2014年在安全事务中发挥主导作用。这一目标应当以实地的进展为指南。在这方面，国际安全援助部队和北约组织阿富汗训练团的努力十分有助于创造条件，使阿富汗国家当局能够逐步承担起安全和治理责任。我们支持继续同地方当局和社区领导人建立关系。正如德米斯图拉特别代表指出的那样，这有助于建立包容各方的对话进程，从而促进与人口各部分的和解。", "安全理事会通过第1988(2011)号决议，针对与塔利班有联系的个人和实体建立了一个独立的制裁制度，并确认阿富汗政府在除名申请中的中心作用。这项决定无疑将促进阿富汗的和解进程，并将有助于各方之间建立信任。", "阿富汗面临许多问题。这些问题可能威胁迄今所取得进展的可持续性。暴力仍然是主要因素之一。它影响进展，并导致人道主义需求增加，平民伤亡和境内流离失所人数上升。我们再次呼吁冲突各方履行其依照国际人道主义和人权法所承担的义务，并采取一切必要措施，确保平民受到保护。", "我们强调，必须采取联合区域举措来处理影响阿富汗和该区域的世界毒品问题的各个方面。根据共同承担责任的原则以平衡的方式参与执行全面处理世界毒品问题的共同战略的区域内外各种行为体的建设性和持续参与，有助于稳定局势和促进各邻国与周围地区的互信。我国哥伦比亚重申，它随时准备加强与阿富汗的双边合作，以便处理有组织犯罪的这一表现及其他表现。", "安全是加强法治、行使基本自由和奠定经济发展基础的必要条件。因此，加强综合战略框架，以期在本组织的努力中以及在执行支持喀布尔进程的方案方面做到更加协调一致，是一个积极的前进步骤，可确保联合国内部团结一致，国际社会行动步调一致，从而为阿富汗在其人民未来的所有方面行使主权做出贡献。", "莫赖斯·卡布拉尔先生(葡萄牙)(以英语发言)：我要感谢秘书长特别代表一如既往作非常全面的通报，并感谢塔宁大使作非常有益的发言。", "在我发言的开头，我必须回顾在马扎里沙里夫发生的袭击事件。联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)乃至支持阿富汗政府和人民的整个国际努力于今年4月在马扎里沙里夫遭到残暴袭击。我在此向特别代表转达葡萄牙对联阿援助团工作人员面对逆境所显示出的勇气以及他们对自己的使命所表现出的持续承诺的最高赞赏。我们赞扬他们的奉献精神。这种精神可保障遭受的损失不会白费。", "我认为，秘书长的报告(S/2011/381)、特别代表的通报和塔宁大使的发言已涵盖阿富汗局势的基本方面，并向我们表明需要作出什么努力才能使过渡取得成功。", "今年的春天确实艰难。安全评估表明，不安全状况持续存在，伤亡人数尤其是平民伤亡人数不断增加。这清楚地表明，争夺阿富汗未来的战斗仍在继续。最近对洲际酒店发动的袭击以极具象征性的方式凸显了这一局面。但我们必须打赢这场战斗，不仅要在实地打败敌人，而且还要赢得舆论，首先是阿富汗舆论，另外还有国际舆论。", "平民伤亡显然是战争最残酷的一面。因此，如在任何其他战争中一样，在阿富汗战争中，限制平民伤亡必须作为一项根本要求列在军事指挥部门优先事项的首位。我们了解到，有关方面已经并且正在作出巨大努力，以减少军事行动造成的平民伤亡。我们呼吁军事指挥官坚定不移地推进这些努力。", "但很显然的是，正是反叛分子应对绝大多数平民伤亡和无辜受害者人数不断增加负责。我记得，特别代表曾于今年3月提及向反叛分子提出要求公布他们自己的平民伤亡人数的建议，但这一建议未得到理睬。我还记得，有关方面已在采取多重步骤，试图处理国家和国际部队给平民造成的损失。在实地已有条件基础之上再接再厉，并整合我们能够贡献的宝贵建议、专长和善意，将会极有助益，以根据平民有道理的诉说对其适当赔偿。", "特别代表报告说，部长会议技术立法审查委员会目前正在审议关于妇女保护中心的规章草案。葡萄牙感到鼓舞的是，这一进程得以在有必要的包容性的情况下进行，这样，充分保护妇女人权的修正案被纳入法律草案的最后版本。我们还高兴地看到，联阿援助团继续提高人们的认识，并监测关于消除针对妇女的暴力的法律的执行。我们赞扬联阿援助团在保护和促进人权方面所作的持续努力以及妇女署所发挥的作用。葡萄牙重申对妇女加入阿富汗政府机构包括担任公务员问题的重视。", "关于特别代表提到的保护儿童问题，我也要高度赞扬联阿援助团和儿童基金会与特别代表办公室进行伙伴合作，共同提出防止儿童遭到暴力毒害的倡议。联合国机构和特别代表组成的合作伙伴范围之广令人鼓舞，说明公众对儿童权利的承诺。", "最后，我们注意到阿富汗政府在国内和国外采取的多重努力。在国外，随着阿富汗重新恢复亚洲重要通道的作用，最近采取区域步骤，加强双边和多边合作值得欢迎。这说明，正如德米斯图拉先生和塔宁大使强调，阿富汗邻国能够而且应该在阿富汗乃至该地区的稳定进程发挥重要作用。", "在国内，阿富汗仍然存在着重大挑战。我们完全赞同报告确认：", "“过渡进程必须导致安全的改善以及民众得到更好的基本服务”(S/2011/381，第69段)。", "正如斯塔凡·德米斯图拉强调的那样，过渡不仅是安全问题。必须把地面军事成就转化为有效的治理框架，转化为加强法制、体制机构和公共服务，以便保护这些成就，以免因为缺乏问责制和与人民需要脱节而受到侵蚀。在这方面，联合独立反腐败监督和评价委员会宣誓就职必须得到称赞，其工作必须得到坚决鼓励。", "在机构方面，主要是议会最近的各项发展，突出需要恢复政治妥协和遵守宪法的能力。阿富汗正经历历史性的时刻，需要专注和承诺，不可分心。我相信，阿富汗决策者正在努力，继续在宪法民主成长的框架内完成本阶段工作。", "最后我指出，本月过渡即将开始，这值得庆祝。大量资源和政治意愿将使2011年7月成为阿富汗和阿富汗人民的出发点，而非终点站。作为盟友和朋友，我们有责任继续支持阿富汗政府和人民实现他们应该实现的成就。", "赖斯女士(美利坚合众国)(以英语发言)：主席先生，首先让我祝贺你担任安理会主席并感谢加蓬大使上月份非常干练的领导。", "我感谢特别代表德米斯图拉和塔宁大使。我要感谢特别代表德米斯图拉今天上午的通报和他在阿富汗继续所作的出色服务。我请他向联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)工作人员转达美国对他们的深刻而永远的感谢，感谢他们面对严重困难完成重要工作。4月1日发生悲剧，马扎里沙里夫的联阿援助团驻地遭受暴徒袭击，造成7名联合国工作人员死亡，再次突出了这种困难。我们再次向死者家属和亲人表示我们最深切的慰问。面对这种野蛮袭击，我们一如以往同联合国站在一起，并再次敦促其他会员国为联合国提供联合国所需必要资源，以加强联合国设施和保护联合国工作人员。", "让我简单地强调我国政府在阿富汗的三大优先目标。首先，正如奥巴马总统最近指出，7月标志着负责任的过渡的开始，将看到阿富汗部队逐步领导阿富汗本国安全工作。到2014年将完成这一过渡进程，由阿富汗人民负责他们自己的安全。随着阿富汗安全部队逐步接管，美国将继续减少其军事作为，我们的任务将从作战改为支持。正如奥巴马总统上月宣布的那样，到今年年底将有1万美国官兵撤出阿富汗。他在2009年12月宣布增派的其余23 000名官兵将在2012年夏天结束前撤出阿富汗。", "奥巴马总统是从实力作出这项决定的。我们已经在实现我们目标方面取得重大进展。美国军队激增，加上我国盟友与合作伙伴增派部队，有助于阿富汗更多地区实现稳定，转变了叛乱的势头。阿富汗安全部队素质提高，兵力增加了10多万。在部分地区，因为这些改进，已经完成了向阿富汗国家安全部队移交安全责任的工作。", "正如塔宁大使指出的那样，面对暴力、恐怖和恐吓，阿富汗通过建立地方警察部队、重新开放市场和学校以及为妇女和女孩创造新的机会来捍卫他们自己的国家。在我们军事行动结束之后的漫长岁月中，我们将继续支持他们在几十年的冲突之后重新开创的国家。", "其次，即使我们实现这一对阿富汗安全过渡的责任，我们正在加倍努力设法和平结束这场冲突。我们支持阿富汗领导的倡议，对阿富汗人民包括塔利班开展协调。我们已采取切实措施，推动阿富汗和解和重返社会的措施，包括支持阿富汗高级和平委员会和省警察和重返社会委员会。", "正如国务卿克林顿在2月表示和奥巴马总统在6月重申的那样，任何谈判的必要成果必须包括促使叛乱分子放弃暴力、不与基地组织结盟、遵守阿富汗宪法和包括保护妇女的承诺。为了证明我们态度认真，我们带头主张安理会决定将第1267(1999)号决议所设制裁制度一分为二，区别对待基地组织和塔利班。第1988(2011)号决议是促进和解同时孤立极端分子的重要工具。该决议向塔利班发出了一个明确的信息：愿意重新加入阿富汗和平社会的人前途光明。", "最后，让我简单地谈谈阿富汗民主发展的一个重要组成部分——阿富汗的选举制度。去年议会选举是2001年塔利班垮台后阿富汗领导的第一次议会选举，代表着阿富汗人民迈出的历史性一步。在整个过程中，阿富汗选举机构——独立选举委员会和选举投诉委员会——表现出专业作法。他们的表现令人钦佩，尽管安全环境困难且有作弊的指控。", "特别选举法庭最近宣布，要求推翻人民院62名议员的选举结果。我们正就此事与阿富汗官员和国际合作伙伴包括联阿援助团进行密切磋商。我们敦促阿富汗政治领导人和阿富汗所有机构按照各自明确规定在职权范围行事，遵守《阿富汗宪法》和选举法，维护司法、行政和立法部门之间必要的相互制衡。美国一贯明确表示，阿富汗需要通过独立选举委员会提供的机制，按照《阿富汗宪法》和民主原则，发现和处理选举过程中出现的作弊行为。重要的是，阿富汗议会代表阿富汗人民履行其宪法规定作用。", "同时，我们必须继续加强阿富汗选举机构的能力。长期选举改革仍是该国民主未来的关键。我们在展望2014年总统选举和之后时期时，必须确保我们汲取了过去几年的经验教训，以利于阿富汗的民主未来。", "2011年将是关键的一年，其高潮将是在波恩举行国际会议，纪念国际社会与阿富汗人民齐心协力，帮助共同开辟新道路10周年。在过去10年中，人们遭受了巨大困难，作出了巨大牺牲，但也取得了实实在在的进展。我们将继续本着共同目的和持续承诺，帮助阿富汗人民建设更加和平、更加繁荣的未来。", "王民先生(中国)：我感谢秘书长特别代表德米斯图拉先生的通报和阿富汗常驻代表塔宁大使的发言。", "一年前，阿富汗问题喀布尔国际会议成功举行。一年来，经过阿富汗政府和人民的努力，在国际社会的帮助下，阿富汗和平重建取得了积极进展。同时，阿富汗正处于承上启下的关键时刻，实现安全、政治、经济、社会等领域的全面、平衡发展，需要继续作出努力。在此，我愿强调以下五点：", "第一，中方支持阿富汗在国际社会帮助下继续推进“喀布尔进程”。实现阿富汗的和平、稳定和发展，需要充分尊重阿富汗的独立、主权和领土完整，发挥阿富汗政府和人民的自主性和主导权，真正实现“阿人治阿”。", "第二，中方对近期阿富汗安全形势恶化、平民伤亡增加表示严重关切。我们注意到有关国家宣布了自阿富汗撤军的计划。我们希望有关方面在向阿富汗移交安全权力的过程中，切实承担起责任，帮助阿富汗加强安全能力建设，确保实现和平、稳定过渡。", "第三，中方支持阿富汗的民族和解努力，充分尊重阿富汗政府和人民的自主选择，希望阿富汗和平与再融合计划取得进展。", "第四，阿富汗的和平重建需要国际社会给予持续关注和支持。国际社会应切实兑现和履行援助阿富汗的承诺，继续向阿富汗政府和人民提供帮助。各方对阿富汗的援助应尊重阿富汗自己确定的优先领域，密切结合阿富汗《国家发展战略》加以落实。", "第五，中方赞赏联合国在推进阿富汗和平重建进程中做出的积极努力，支持联阿援助团继续为国际社会帮助阿富汗和平重建发挥中心协调作用，并希望联阿援助团与阿富汗政府加强沟通、协调与合作。", "中国和阿富汗是友好邻邦，中方一贯致力于发展中阿睦邻友好，重视并积极参与阿富汗重建进程。中方将继续向阿富汗提供力所能及的帮助，同国际社会一道，共同为阿富汗早日实现和平、稳定和发展作出贡献。", "马克·莱尔·格兰特爵士(联合王国)(以英语发言)：主席先生，我要借此机会祝贺你担任安全理事会本月主席。我也祝贺梅索尼大使和加蓬代表团指导了安理会6月份的工作。", "我还要感谢秘书长的报告(S/2011/381)、秘书长特别代表斯塔凡·德米斯图拉今天上午的翔实通报，以及塔宁大使的发言。", "和其他发言者一样，我对联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)工作人员4月份在马扎里沙里夫惨遭杀害致以联合王国的哀悼。恪尽职守的联合国工作人员必须能够在安全环境下开展工作，并得到阿富汗政府和国际社会的全力支持。我还要赞扬所有其他国际人员在这场斗争中所作的牺牲。", "英国首相大卫·卡梅伦刚刚结束对阿富汗的访问回国。他在那里亲眼看到了阿富汗政府和国际社会在筹备向由阿富汗领导的全国安全职责过渡方面所取得的进展。令人鼓舞的是，首批地区有望于7月20日启动过渡进程。在阿富汗国家安全部队准备于2014年年底前接管所有省份的安全工作时，其规模和能力将继续壮大。美国增兵对于准备过渡有所助益，而且正如赖斯大使确认的那样，美军将按原计划缩编。其它国际部队也将在条件允许时开始撤出。我国首相今天早些时候宣布，到2012年底，联合王国的兵力将再削减500人，从9 500人减至9 000人。这些迹象表明取得了进展、安全局势改善、阿富汗部队力量增强。但这并不意味着国际社会将停止对阿富汗的支持。", "联合王国对国际部队和阿富汗政府部队的行动造成的所有平民伤亡深表遗憾。虽然发生了此类伤亡，但都采取了事先制定的大力预防措施。正如秘书长在其报告中指出的那样，绝大多数伤亡是反叛分子造成的，他们蓄意使用旨在恫吓民众的暴力战术。上个季度，反叛分子继续暗杀政府雇员和蓄意袭击平民目标，包括医院、市场和洲际酒店。反叛分子造成的平民伤亡超过了阿富汗和国际部队造成的伤亡，其比例约为8比1。我们以最强烈的措辞谴责此类袭击。", "需要开展阿富汗人领导的政治进程以支持军事上进展。任何政治解决要想持久，都必须具有包容性，必须尊重所有阿富汗公民的权益。奥萨玛·本·拉登的死亡使塔利班有机会与基地组织果断决裂。英国外交大臣呼吁塔利班实施这种决裂并参与政治进程。我们敦促国际社会发出同样的呼吁。", "捍卫民主原则，包括自由、可信的选举原则，对于任何政治解决都至关重要，对于阿富汗未来稳定都非常关键。联合王国仍充分致力于同阿富汗政府、议会和人民共同努力，以便加强阿富汗民主和代议制机构。因此，我们对特别法院与议会仍未能解决争端深感关切。我们呼吁有关各方共同努力，找到符合阿富汗法律的解决办法，遵守《宪法》所保障的分权原则。", "目前局势表明，有必要在选举改革上取得进一步进展。我们继续支持联合国发挥作用，协助阿富汗政府、机构和人民落实去年在伦敦和喀布尔会议上做出的承诺。这仍是联阿援助团任务授权中的一个重要部分。", "实现不可逆转的过渡并在政治轨道上取得进展必须得到治理和发展进步的支持。如果我们要在这些问题上取得进展，至关重要的是要采取必要措施，实施国际货币基金组织(基金组织)的方案。继喀布尔银行事件后，我们呼吁迅速解决关于一项新的基金组织方案的谈判，并呼吁将那些违法者绳之以法。阿富汗人民理应得到这些。", "自秘书长发表其季度报告以来，在筹备由阿富汗人主导的波恩会议方面取得了重要进展。国际联络小组的成员在喀布尔开展了一次建设性对话。现在我们需侧重于将这些讨论转化为切实成果，特别是在区域合作方面的具体成果。我们欢迎在土耳其领导下在该领域所做的工作，并期待着将于11月份召开的伊斯坦布尔会议。", "最后，尽管存在挑战，但是在建设一个安全和有生存能力的阿富汗的道路上已取得了显著进展。随着阿富汗从一个冲突后国家变成一个具有更多传统发展需求的国家，联阿援助团和广大联合国大家庭将发挥日益重要的作用。因此，我们欢迎即将对联合国活动开展审查。我们希望，秘书长能加入对联阿援助团当前任务授权执行情况的评估意见、它在过渡后局势中的作用以及联合国怎样支持阿富汗政府建设一个强大、持久和自身可持续的阿富汗国。", "梅索尼先生(加篷)(以法语发言)：主席先生，我也要祝贺你担任7月份安理会主席。我借此机会感谢所有常驻代表及其代表团在加篷担任6月份安理会主席期间给予我的合作与支持。", "我还要感谢斯塔凡·德米斯图拉秘书长特别代表和塔宁大使刚才基于我们面前的秘书长报告(S/2011/381)，通报了阿富汗的局势。", "首先，我要表示，我们强烈谴责最近的暴力行径，它们削弱了自3月份以来取得的进展和成就。事实上，自我们3月17日最近一次举办辩论会(见S/PV.6497)以来，阿富汗局势，特别是在政治过渡进程方面取得了重大进展。", "我们高兴地注意到在民族和解上取得的进展。在这方面，我们欢迎阿富汗政府在安全理事会的要求下，根据第1988(2011)号决议，致力于为温和的叛乱分子提供重返社会的便利条件。我们也欢迎政府成立一个联合独立委员会，以提高行政当局内部的透明度和问责度。我们认为，这是移交责任过程中的一个重要因素，刚才塔宁大使也提及这一点。", "尽管做出了这些努力，但是特别是在安全和善治方面仍存在若干障碍。我国代表团借此机会再次呼吁阿富汗新政府尽最大努力，加强其反恐和反腐能力，这仍是该国实现和平与稳定的主要障碍。", "正如我们在最近一次辩论会上强调的那样，平民的安全与保护必须是政府基于坚实稳定的宪法机构，努力建立主权国家工作中的优先事项。阿富汗当局应承担起这方面的完全责任。", "本月宣布一些国际部队特别是美国和北约军队撤出大批部队，这证实政府在努力充分承担起其主权特权上不得不应对的严峻挑战。在此，我们重申我们充分支持联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)的工作人员以及联合国为此向阿富汗政府提供援助。", "最后，我们赞扬斯塔凡·德米斯图拉先生不懈努力支持该国的和平与稳定。关于即将到来的过渡，我们赞同他的观点，认为安全必须仍是一个优先事项，但是安全的改进必须在加强国际援助协调性、开展包容各方和参与式对话的基础上，产生有利于过渡的红利。最后，我们重申我们对联阿援助团以及联合国驻阿富汗的工作人员的支持。", "克劳利先生(南非)(以英语发言)：主席先生，请允许我表示，我国代表团同其他国家的代表团一样祝贺你担任7月份安全理事会主席，并感谢内尔松 ·梅索尼大使在6月份出色领导安全理事会的工作。", "我们感谢负责阿富汗问题的秘书长特别代表斯塔凡·德米斯图拉先生介绍秘书长关于阿富汗问题的报告(S/2011/381)。我们也感谢阿富汗常驻代表查希尔·塔宁大使参加本次辩论会。", "我国代表团欢迎过去数月阿富汗发生的较为积极的事态发展，特别是在加强阿富汗领导权和自主权方面取得的进展。这包括在落实喀布尔进程中取得的进展、在重返社会与和解工作上的势头以及阿富汗与其邻国的合作等。", "尽管出现了这些积极的事态发展，阿富汗在努力实现稳定与发展方面仍面临关键挑战。其中主要有安全局势、不断恶化的人道主义局势、人权缺失以及平民继续伤亡。南非强调，鉴于这些挑战十分严峻，需制定涵盖安全、人道主义问题、善治和社会经济发展的全面战略。在这方面，我们愿强调联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)在支持阿富汗政府、协调对该国的国际援助方面发挥的核心作用。至关重要的是，双边伙伴继续发挥的作用仍然是不可或缺的。", "我们对针对联合国及其工作人员发动袭击尤感关切。南非最强烈地谴责4月1日对联合国位于马扎里沙里夫的业务中心的暴力袭击，它造成联合国工作人员的死伤。", "南非继续欢迎努力加强政治外联活动。人民和领导人中的政治对话与和解对于阿富汗的长期稳定仍是至关重要的。我们高兴地看到，高级和平委员会加紧努力，领导和解工作。这些工作以及整编包括塔利班在内的叛乱分子的努力都应得到鼓励。", "陷于冲突中的阿富汗儿童的困境依然令我国代表团感到关切，在这方面，我们强烈谴责上周日一名骑摩托车的疑似武装分子袭击一所学校的行为，此人向学校大门投掷了一枚手榴弹。", "关于妇女的作用，我国代表团认为，阿富汗妇女可以在确保该国的和平与稳定方面发挥重要作用。应当欢迎她们在建立一个新的阿富汗社会方面发挥作用。", "国家自主权和领导权依然是阿富汗政治安全和社会经济进步的关键所在。就国际社会而言，它应当继续在该国从冲突过渡到稳定与繁荣的过程中发挥支助作用。因此，南非继续支持联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)驻留该国并发挥作用。", "最后，我们赞扬特别代表德米斯图拉完成了全面审查联阿援助团授权任务活动及联合国对阿富汗支助的综合战略框架，并要感谢联阿援助团及其工作人员努力执行安全理事会的任务规定，以便建立一个更和平和更稳定的阿富汗。", "奥格武夫人(尼日利亚)(以英语发言)：我谨感谢特别代表德米斯图拉非常激励人心和明晰的通报。我也感谢塔宁大使，不仅因为他作了全面的通报，还因为他即便在艰难时刻也展现出了非凡的勇气。", "尼日利亚欣见在阿富汗取得的稳步进展。阿富汗一直在坚定寻求可贵的和平与稳定。新的《宪法》已经制订完成，举行了几次选举，经济增长前景看好，打击叛乱活动的新战略增强了最近的军事成就，而且，捐助方依然非常有力地致力于为民事重建提供资金。我们认为，应当通过有力的和解与融合进程，把塔利班和非塔利班叛乱分子，特别是坎大哈地区的叛乱分子包括进来，巩固这些政治进展。", "正如秘书长的报告(S/2011/381)提醒我们的那样，我们在确保和解各方确实不仅真正致力于遵守阿富汗政府确定的新的行为守则，也致力于在维护《宪法》方面保持警惕。政治进程必须由阿富汗人领导和推动，并且必须符合《宪法》。这一进程必须不仅促进持久和平与稳定，还必须推动保护妇女权益。政治进程的成功将有利于巩固阿富汗政府当前改善治理与问责的努力，包括使妇女不受阻碍地参加和平进程。", "阿富汗政府应当继续致力执行其反腐败的工作以及伦敦会议和喀布尔会议赋予它的各项义务。阿富汗政府更坚定地致力于进行反腐败工作以及伦敦会议和喀布尔会议产生的义务都将加强这些努力。", "关于安全部门，最近对位于马扎里沙里夫的联合国行动中心和对该国首都一家高级酒店的袭击令人遗憾地提醒我们，该国的安全局势紧张而且脆弱。我们谴责这些懦夫般的行为，它们不分青红皂白，把平民、安全部队以及国际安全援助部队(安援部队)作为目标。必须把这些袭击的罪魁祸首绳之以法。事实上，这些袭击破坏阿富汗安全部队的能力，并且令人怀疑阿富汗政府和安全部队是否已经作好应对今后安全挑战的准备。我们支持通过加强培训和能力建设以及增进联合国与安援部队之间的合作，紧急加强安全过渡进程的执行阶段。", "阿富汗政府参与列名和除名进程将为打击恐怖主义提供一个更有保证的平台，在《喀布尔公报》的背景下尤其如此。正因为这个原因，尼日利亚支持把制裁基地组织与制裁塔利班的制度分开的决定。在这方面，我们重申，这些除名请求应当由委员会在个案基础上，特别是要根据这些案件本身的情况来予以处理。", "在经济领域，尼日利亚赞扬阿富汗政府遵照喀布尔进程，继续致力执行国家优先方案。执行这一方案和实现阿富汗政府制订的基准将需要国际社会加强协调，并且及时提供国际援助。我们支持通过阿富汗预算体系来为该国提供捐助资金和其它援助，以提高协调一致和效率。", "如果不立即找到解决国际货币基金组织(基金组织)方案方面持续僵局的可行办法，目前的社会经济增长以及包括教育和保健部门在内的阿富汗政府优先方案将无法继续推行。因此，我们支持建立一个阿富汗政府和捐助方可以用来推动和执行基金组织方案的适当机制。", "在区域合作方面，我们欣见阿富汗与其邻国加强了合作，特别是在克服反恐挑战以及打击毒品、武器和人口贩运以及有组织犯罪领域。我们欣见阿富汗、巴基斯坦与美国之间的三方会议恢复工作。这两项进展都证实，区域伙伴都致力于阿富汗的稳定、经济发展、领土完整和主权。我们希望，在我们大家期待着定于11月2日举行的伊斯坦布尔会议和定于今年底在波恩举行的外长国际会议的时候，这一三方举措将得到持续。通过这两次会议，国际社会可以对由阿富汗领导的进程作出新的承诺，并且予以支持。", "阿富汗的未来和命运或许难以想象，但是，国际社会必须永远保持警惕，以确保一个和平、安全而且确实是真正和解与发展的未来。在这一艰巨的努力中，我们赞扬特别代表斯塔凡·德米斯图拉对联合国阿富汗援助团进行的令人鼓舞的出色领导。特派团工作人员取得的杰出成就和他们为恢复阿富汗和平、民主与安全的全球一致努力作出的宝贵贡献将永载史册。", "潘金先生(俄罗斯联邦)(以俄语发言)：主席先生，请允许我祝贺你担任安全理事会7月份的主席。我祝愿你一切顺利。我也感谢加蓬代表团6月份担任主席和所做的工作。", "我们感谢斯塔凡·德米斯图拉先生深入和坦诚分析了阿富汗局势，并且介绍了秘书长的报告(S/2011/381)。我们欢迎阿富汗常驻代表塔宁大使的发言。", "我们赞同他们对联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)根据其任务授权正在采取的措施所作的评估。我们同意他们对阿富汗目前严峻安全局势的评估意见，最近几个月发生的许多安全事件体现了这种严峻性。我首先要谈一谈4月份联合国驻马扎里沙里夫办事处遇袭和联合国工作人员丧生的不幸事件。我们也对内政部前任副部长达乌德5月在塔哈尔省遇害、6月洛加尔省医院和巴达赫尚省和帕尔万省省长座车遇袭以及最近塔利班对洲际酒店的袭击造成无辜平民伤亡感到震惊。我们强烈谴责所有这些恐怖行径。", "反叛分子的这些袭击表明塔利班运动企图颠覆阿富汗局势，破坏国际社会为该国冲突后重建所作的努力。塔利班领导人既不为阿富汗人民采取行动，也没有为持久和平和繁荣、独立的阿富汗作出努力。", "俄罗斯联邦对阿富汗北部的局势特别感到关切，那里发生了几起备受瞩目的恐怖行径。这些行动在中亚各国引起反响，包括我们在独立国家联合体、集体安全条约组织和上海合作组织中的伙伴。鉴于塔利班和基地组织恐怖分子的持续活动，必须采取有目的和有节制的方法，执行全国和解计划。", "我们希望，最近根据第1207(1999)号决议对制裁制度作出的改变，将促进阿富汗政府为执行其全国和解战略所作的努力、为实现阿富汗解决办法提供更大的动力并且增进区域安全——这些都是国际社会商定的条件。", "在这方面，我们注意到，第1988(2011)号决议重申阿富汗全国和解的重要原则，包括放弃暴力、遵守《阿富汗宪法》以及放弃同基地组织和其他恐怖组织的联系。根据这些标准，把塔利班领导人从联合国制裁制度的名单上除名是不可接受的。只能在阿富汗人的领导下同塔利班领导人进行对话。同他们的任何接触，特别是在官方渠道之外的接触，可能发出国际社会在阿富汗解决办法方面的错误信号。", "我们也对在2014年之后执行长期加强在阿富汗的军事存在的计划特别感到关切。我们认为，必须确立阿富汗的中立地位。俄罗斯联邦和美国两国总统在2010年6月24日的联合声明中表示支持这一想法，并且上海合作组织的成员也在6月15日《阿斯塔纳宣言》中支持它。当然，这一问题的主动权掌握在阿富汗人民自己手中——不是在最近的未来，而是在阿富汗稳定工作完成之后。我们认为，确立阿富汗的中立地位，如获接受，能够促进有关和解的对话。", "我们对阿富汗境内毒品贩运的情况感到关切。毫无疑问，正如第1943(2010)号和第1974(2011)号决议指出，阿富汗境内的毒品贩运是对国际和平与安全的威胁。为了消除这一威胁，必须作出共同努力和汇总各种可能的能力。不幸的是，联盟部队没有把足够的精力投入这个问题。我国认为，目前在阿富汗的外国军队能够并应发挥更加积极的作用，处理毒品的生产和贩运，尤其因为它们承担了阿富汗的安全责任。我们的建议仍然有效，即我们在北约、上海合作组织以及集体安全条约组织中的伙伴在这方面进行实时互动。", "我们对于军队滥用或不成比例地使用武力造成平民死亡深感关切。根据国际人道主义法准则，所有各方，包括国际部队，承担着确保平民百姓安全的责任。俄罗斯联邦将继续赞成联合国在国际努力中的核心协调作用，以确保解决阿富汗局势。联合国有效和不偏袒地支持执行喀布尔会议结果文件中有关阿富汗在国家管理方面的自主性的规定，将确保阿富汗的长期稳定。", "实现长期稳定的另一个重要方面就是联合国控制国际部队执行安全理事会授权任务的方式。这些部队根据安全理事会的授权进入阿富汗领土，它们只能在完成任务之后按照安全理事会的决定撤离。它们无权在没有完成反恐任务或建立有效的阿富汗军队和警察之前离开阿富汗。", "我国认为，将通过增加阿富汗国家安全部队的能力来弥补美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马宣布的美国部队的缩编，前者应当准备掌管安全和有效抗击极端主义和毒品贩运。", "齐亚德女士(黎巴嫩)(以阿拉伯语发言)：首先，我谨表示，黎巴嫩感谢秘书长特别代表斯塔凡·德米斯图拉先生的通报并感谢阿富汗塔宁大使的发言。我也赞扬联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)在阿富汗所作的努力，尤其鉴于实地的困难情况。", "在对阿富汗进行国际军事干预十年之后，我们现在目睹向阿富汗人民移交权力的新时代的来临。然而，安全局势依然惊人。对国际和阿富汗部队的暴力以及对阿富汗人民的暴力，继续加快步伐。这种局面导致在过渡阶段更加需要在安全层面保持警惕，以便把权力交还阿富汗人民手中，并确保平民及其财产的安全。所有各方应当遵守国际人道主义法，竭尽全力保护无辜者的生命。", "在寻求以政治办法解决危机的努力中，黎巴嫩赞扬为实现和解和重返社会所作的努力。我们特别强调高级和平委员会发挥的作用和安全理事会一致通过第1988(2011)号决议对和解进程表示的支持，该决议把针对塔利班和基地组织的制裁制度分开，向塔利班成员提供了脱离恐怖主义意识形态并遵守《宪法》的机会，以便参加和平进程。", "阿富汗尊重人权的问题同安全与安保问题一样重要。具体而言，应当继续作出努力，以便在每个省都执行关于暴力侵害妇女行为的法律。应当保护妇女免遭歧视、不公正及胁迫，并且应当让她们融入公共生活。这些是本组织一再要求做到的事情。", "此外，我们要强调秘书长的报告(S/2011/381)中关于被关押者受到折磨和虐待的指控的重要性。这些被关押者往往没有辩护律师，并且在未受指控或审判的情况下被任意关押。对善治来说至关重要的是，应弥补法治和机构方面存在的这种差距。", "我们还应强调，必须继续致力于落实喀布尔进程，特别是在社会和经济发展框架内这样做。公共机构改革对于透明度和问责制也至关重要。我们还要赞同秘书长在其报告中发出的关于必须建立国际货币基金组织国别方案的呼吁。缺乏这样一项方案正对该国各地的项目和方案产生普遍的负面影响。", "此外，阿富汗国内的努力应当伴以对话和区域合作。阿富汗各邻国可通过监测边界和打击毒品贩运与跨国有组织犯罪活动来加强其同阿富汗的联系，并为改进安全保障状况作出贡献。事实上，这样做也符合各邻国的利益。", "我们要强调，我们赞赏广大国际社会特别是联合国通过其各机构所作的努力。联合国工作人员正在非常困难的情况下为建立一个能够保护本国人民和机构的阿富汗国家政权作出勇敢而坚毅的努力，以捍卫全体阿富汗人民的生命和繁荣。", "维奈·库马尔先生(印度)(以英语发言)：主席先生，我首先要祝贺你担任安全理事会主席，并赞扬加蓬常驻代表及其工作团队于6月份指导安理会工作。主席先生，我还要感谢你召开今天这次关于阿富汗问题的辩论会。我感谢阿富汗常驻代表查希尔·塔宁大使的发言。我们感谢秘书长的最近报告(S/2011/381)，并感谢特别代表斯塔凡·德米斯图拉的通报。", "阿富汗正处于过渡执行阶段的起点。由此，阿富汗安全部队将开始承担其在包括喀布尔在内的七个关键地区的责任。这对于阿富汗和国际社会都是一个至关重要的阶段。我们深感关切的是，阿富汗特别是在安全方面所面临的挑战似乎并未消退。相反，总体安全环境继续恶化。秘书长的报告指出，安全事故与2010年同期相比增加了51%，并呈现出自杀式袭击、绑架和暗杀事件大幅增加的特点。对位于马扎里·沙里夫(Mazar-e Sharif)的联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)驻地和位于坎大哈的政府大楼发动的恐怖袭击，对位于喀布尔的安保程度高的洲际大酒店和位于洛迦的一所医院发动的协调自杀式袭击都确认，塔利班和其他反对派团体据以选择软民用目标的策略有所改变。", "正如我们在3月17日关于这一议题的发言(见S/PV.6497)中指出的那样，这种袭击表明，该区域恐怖主义联盟已将意识形态、抱负、训练及行动危险地揉合在一起，以自杀式恐怖袭击作为其主要作案手法，袭击目标不限于阿富汗。国际社会仓促退出在阿富汗境内的战斗作用，无异于坐视该国灭亡。因此，现在变得至关重要的是，过渡应当同实地的现实而不是同僵硬的时间表挂钩。", "在这方面，同阿富汗政府协调，对不断演变的局势进行持续不断的评估和审查至关重要。我们赞赏加强国际安全援助部队与阿富汗国家安全部队之间的协作，以建设阿富汗部队必要的实力和能力。此举加上适当的辅助手段，对于安全责任的过渡至关重要。重要的是，过渡进程应由阿富汗人主导。过渡还必须以有系统的方式予以规划和执行，并且必须确保保护和促进全体阿富汗人的人权。", "为了阿富汗的安全和稳定，必须孤立和根除包括基地组织、塔利班、虔诚军以及在阿富汗境内外活动的其它恐怖主义和极端团体成员在内的恐怖主义联盟。这些团体在思想和行动上融为一体，它们之间的联系逐年增强。正如秘书长的报告指出的那样，阿富汗境内的叛乱分子仍然顽强，表现出能够开展多重复杂袭击的能力。叛乱分子继续负隅顽抗、不断改变战术、人数众多，以及向先前被认为是安全的地区扩散。所有这些都无情地提醒我们，除非国际社会能够坚决处理位于阿富汗境外的恐怖分子的安全避风港，否则安全成果仍将转瞬即逝。", "印度全力支持由阿富汗人领导、包容各方、透明、遵守阿富汗政府在喀布尔和伦敦会议公报中宣布的指导方针的和解进程。这一进程必须伴以包容各方的政治进程和阿富汗人之间的对话。重要的是，应查明那些愿意重返社会的人的前科，并确保他们真正回心转意。", "我们支持阿富汗政府和人民在寻求在他们的国家建立更安全、更稳定和更繁荣的未来以及强有力的民主制度时所表达的看法和所作的决定。必须让阿富汗人民在不受其邻国干涉的情况下，在和平与安全的条件中重建其国度。他们必须是自己命运的主宰。我们期望，根据第1988(2011)号决议建立的新制裁制度，将使阿富汗政府能够在应对由对该国的和平、安全与稳定构成威胁的那些人构成的挑战方面拥有更大发言权。", "阿富汗的自主权和领导权对于阿富汗的发展和重建至关重要。这也意味着国际社会的发展努力必须更加协调一致和进一步精简，包括使援助同阿富汗国家优先事项保持一致，并日益通过阿富汗机构开展工作。", "印度与阿富汗有着基于丰富的历史和文明联系这一牢固基础和基于共同寻求区域和平与繁荣的战略伙伴关系。印度继续致力于与阿富汗政府和人民合作，以便建设一个和平、稳定、民主和多元化的国家。印度的援助方案遍布阿富汗全国各地，并几乎涵盖全部经济和社会发展活动。协助阿富汗开展其重建努力、进行能力建设和培养开发人力资源技能，以及建设其公共机构，是印度特别重视的方面。正如塔宁大使在其发言中提到的那样，在5月11日至13日对阿富汗进行的最近一次访问期间，我国总理宣布，印度除已认捐的15亿美元外，再提供5亿美元援助。", "阿富汗的稳定和经济发展在很大程度上有赖于阿富汗邻国和整个地区。加强同印度和该地区其他国家的经济一体化是阿富汗未来繁荣的关键。兴都库什以南阿富汗地区直至恒河三角洲这个地区构成一个单一的地理和经济盆地，而印度平原构成其经济重心。这是阿富汗最大的地区市场，是潜在投资、技能、培训、技术和专业知识的来源，可提供作为民主和国家机构建设的模式，而且其文化环境适宜。", "阿富汗具有成为连接中亚、西亚和南亚的陆上桥梁和贸易、运输、能源新兴枢纽的巨大潜力。最近区域合作方面的发展，包括土库曼斯坦-阿富汗-巴基斯坦-印度天然气管道项目协议的签署，将进一步推动区域合作。经济相互依存性的提高将促进整个地区特别是阿富汗的和平与繁荣。2005年阿富汗加入南亚区域合作联盟(南盟)，现正成为南盟日趋活跃的成员。印度作为阿富汗的邻国，将持续努力促进阿富汗进一步融入该区域框架。", "最后，我们赞扬联阿援助团所作的良好工作。我们认为，在这个关键时刻，国际社会必须继续坚定不移地支持阿富汗政府实现其优先目标。", "阿罗德先生(法国)(以法语发言)：主席先生，我理所当然地要祝贺你担任安全理事会主席并感谢加蓬代表娴熟地主持安理会6月份工作。我也要感谢德米斯图拉先生介绍阿富汗局势，并赞同欧洲联盟代表稍后要做的发言。此外，我谨感谢塔宁大使的发言。", "首先，我谨向在阿富汗工作的所有联合国工作人员表示敬意。4月1日马扎尔沙里夫联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)总部遭到袭击后，安全理事会作出了反应。这次袭击因为被害男女都是在那里帮助阿富汗稳定、安全和发展的人，因此令人倍感反感。", "我们不能因为这次袭击而偏离我们的主要目标，即帮助阿富汗政府取得进展，恢复充分主权。在这方面，过渡进程已经开始。今年，我们承诺的这一新阶段将导致向阿富汗当局逐步有序地移交安全责任。法国将连同它的盟国，继续承诺同阿富汗人民站在一起，确保按计划到2014年底完成过渡进程，包括在我们部署区域或培训阿富汗安全部队方面。我们在阿富汗的承诺是长期的，并将根据情况作出调整，以适应新的过渡情况。法国将与盟国和阿富汗当局密切合作，按计划撤离部队。但我们必须谨慎，确保过渡进程同时导致阿富汗政府承担治理和发展的责任。", "还有许多工作要做，时间是关键。我们必须确保阿富汗人民进一步参与发展项目的规划和执行。就其本身而言，阿富汗政府必须更加坚决打击腐败和裙带关系，从喀布尔银行问题可见一斑。", "通过公共支出权力下放和进一步加强省、区规划和执行发展项目的能力，预算执行方面也已取得进展。", "关于安全问题，我们已经重新掌握军事主动权，从而使阿富汗政府能够在若干地区重新恢复立足点。在我们的财政支持和培训帮助下，阿富汗军队和警察部队日益壮大，使盟军能够设想从阿富汗撤离部分作战部队。", "我们的军事和培训工作已开始见效，但以非常艰苦的战斗为代价。如果不能加强阿富汗当局的合法性，使之能够设想用政治办法解决冲突，军事成就将是短暂的。不幸的是，法院造成的不肯定状况影响到立法权力，不利于民主机构的正常运作，使他们不能集中精力解决阿富汗选民真正关心的问题。我们呼吁阿富汗所有机构在三权分立的原则基础上，按照《宪法》规定的各自职权范围行事。秘书长特别代表必须继续监测局势的发展和该国需要的选举改革。", "但我们也注意到，阿富汗内部和解之路取得进展。我们继续支持卡尔扎伊总统和高级和平委员会努力发展一个由阿富汗社会所有各阶层参加的和平进程。这一进程必须得到区域努力的支持，兼顾阿富汗邻国的安全利益，同时尊重阿富汗主权。从这个角度看，联合国可以发挥有益的作用。", "通过将联合国对基地组织和塔利班的制裁制度一分为二，安全理事会作出了一个非常重要的决定。我们希望这可激励阿富汗人民摒弃国际恐怖主义，开始直接对话，共同展望未来。", "最后，法国谨重申，我们充分支持秘书长特别代表斯塔凡·德米斯图拉的努力。安理会通过第1974(2011)号决议延长了联阿援助团的任务期限，并确认安理会两年前提出的各项优先事项是正确的。安理会还要求在2011年年底前完成对联阿援助团和联合国在阿富汗活动的一次全面审查。这将提供机会审视联合国对阿富汗承诺的发展演变。这次审查必须在完全透明的情况下进行，与阿富汗当局合作。这一过程、第二次波恩会议和2012年延长联阿援助团的任务期限，都代表着重申我们对建立一个彻底摒弃暴力和不稳定，民主、独立、繁荣的阿富汗的共同目标的承诺。", "主席(以英语发言)：我现在以德国代表的身份发言。", "让我同其他发言者一起热烈欢迎并感谢特别代表今天所作的通报。我们同样感谢塔宁大使的发言。", "我国政府赞同欧洲联盟(欧盟)稍后要做的发言。", "今天，我要谈一谈三个问题。", "第一，关于过渡，德国欢迎在阿富汗安全部队数量和质量提高的情况下，开始安全过渡进程。我国代表团特别欢迎本月开始在第一批七个地区和城市向阿富汗移交安全责任的安全过渡。", "必须强调，根据北约和阿富汗政府达成的协议，过渡进程将继续是逐步和视情况而定的进程。最近几个月安全事件频发，明确显示我们今后的挑战严重。但我们认为，阿富汗与国际社会商定的战略和时间安排将继续有效地指导我们的工作。我们打算继续按此行事。", "德国谴责目前持续不断的暴力，并以最强烈的措辞谴责最近发生的袭击洛加尔医院的事件。我们继续严重关切地注意到，平民伤亡进一步增加，其中高达90％是由叛乱分子造成的。我们赞扬阿富汗安全部队在上周喀布尔洲际酒店遭受令人发指的袭击过程中所作的专业反应。", "在安理会这里，我愿特别强调联合国的安全问题。和今天在这里的所有人一样，德国非常赞赏秘书长特别代表以及联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)其他同事在极为艰难环境下所开展的工作。但是，我们在期望联阿援助团继续开展其不可或缺的工作的同时，也有责任尽我们所能，来保护联合国工作人员和行动。马扎里沙里夫事件是令联合国大家庭感到震惊的又一个事件，我们向所有遇害者家人表示慰问。德国呼吁尽最大努力，包括阿富汗政府要尽最大努力，来保护在阿富汗的国际支助行动。", "第二，关于喀布尔进程，该进程所描述的移交工作也将随着时间的推移，改变国际支持的性质。然而，国际社会强烈期望能够利用联合国的资源和专长，保持已经取得的进展，并与建立在阿富汗人领导、民主原则、尊重人权以及可靠的政府和非政府机构基础上的可生存的国家建立可持续的伙伴关系，而这些政府和非政府机构要建立在坚实的宪法基础上。", "喀布尔进程取得成功的一个决定性因素是，要解决喀布尔银行的危机。可信的金融机构是无法替代的。德国赞同报告的论述，即没有国际货币基金组织方案严重危及喀布尔进程，危及通过政府预算不断加大支持发展的能力。", "第三，我要简要谈谈将于12月在波恩举行的阿富汗问题国际会议的筹备情况。一些成员提到了该会议，而德国期待着应阿富汗政府请求主办该会议。总的来说，会议是为了更加突出我们阿富汗共同战略中的长期政治内容的分量。正如卡尔扎伊总统决定的那样，将由阿富汗主持的该会议的三个主要目的是，进一步确定2014年之前的移交工作所涉及的民事问题；大力确认并确定2014年之后对阿的长期国际支持；以及促进和解政治进程，包括区域和解进程。我们期望波恩会议将成为建设稳定的、和平并与邻国和平相处的阿富汗道路上的一个重要里程碑。", "在这方面，德国认为最近将第1267(1999)号决议规定的制裁制度分拆为单立的制裁基地组织和制裁塔利班制度，是一块重要的垫脚石。", "最后，我要重申德国继续长期支持我们的阿富汗朋友，并强调我们赞赏联阿援助团的作用以及联合国给予的更大范围的支持。德国认为联阿援助团和联合国系统是着眼于所有阿富汗人利益的成功交接工作的伙伴。", "我现在继续行使安全理事会主席职能。", "我现在请日本代表发言。", "西田先生(日本)(以英语发言)：我愿感谢德米斯图拉特别代表十分全面而翔实的通报。我还愿表示，我感谢联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)的所有男女工作人员，他们表明了对完成这项十分艰难的任务的大力承诺。我也感谢塔宁大使的发言。", "首先，我愿表示，我对联阿援助团4月1日在马扎里沙里夫遭受袭击深表遗憾。我向在袭击中牺牲的联合国工作人员的家人致以最深切的慰问。", "德米斯图拉特别代表在安理会3月份就本议题举行的上次辩论会(见S/PV.6497)上曾表示，2011年是至关重要的一年。它是2014年之前的移交工作年。日本决心在这一非常重要的年度中以及此后继续与联阿援助团合作。", "正如秘书长最近报告(S/2011/381)所言，阿富汗安全局势依然具有挑战性。我们对于喀布尔洲际酒店最近遇袭所凸显出的安全威胁感到关切。我对死者深表哀悼。安全仍是我们必须处理的优先问题。", "日本支持奥巴马总统就美国对阿政策所作的宣示。定于本月在七个地区启动移交工作。在美国和其它国际部队缩编期间平稳移交工作，对于阿富汗的和平与安全是不可或缺的。", "移交责任和可持续安全与该国政治进程和发展存在着相互联系。有鉴于此，日本继续通过向阿富汗警察提供援助，比如通过继续为警察发薪提供资金，以及采取努力加强中央和省级政府的行政能力，在加强阿富汗国家安全部队方面发挥作用。日本最近决定支持“开展扫盲以增强阿富汗警察能力”的方案，并将于本月开始同土耳其合作训练阿富汗国家警察。", "仍存在着其它令人关切的问题。喀布尔银行的状况是一个严重问题，影响到了提供资金乃至国际援助框架的国际捐助者。特别法院取消去年选出且先前得到独立选举委员会确认的议员的资格，致使议会与法院之间关系紧张，从而可能严重影响阿富汗的稳定与重建。这种情况发生在对于维护该国团结具有关键意义的时候。我们衷心希望阿富汗政府、议会和法院能够在各自职权范围内行事，迅速、妥善处理这些问题。", "我们对5月10日和11日在喀布尔成功举行阿富汗和平与再融合方案审查会议表示了欢迎。再融合进程取得进一步进展，是政治进程的重要支柱。我们高度赞赏联阿援助团和有关国家在该进程中发挥重大作用。日本决心继续作出贡献，这体现为我们向再融合基金提供了5 000万美元的捐助，用于在阿富汗人领导的《再融合方案》方面取得不可逆转的进展。", "在这方面，安全理事会最近通过决议，将基地组织和塔利班制裁清单一分为二，是为促进该国和解所采取的积极步骤。政治进程要取得更多进展，阿富汗人就必须在国际社会的继续支持下发挥自主权。", "阿富汗要想实现长期稳定，我们就必须加快该国邻国之间的区域合作。日本愿意在更大范围的经济发展中发挥积极作用，经济发展能够使周边邻国为阿富汗融入区域和全球经济铺平道路。", "日本尽管受到3月份地震的影响，但仍决心开展对阿援助。鉴于阿富汗的重要性，我们于2009年11月承诺提供这种援助。虽然军事存在的缩编工作很快就会开始，但长期介入阿富汗问题仍十分重要。我愿再次强调，为实现可持续的经济，此刻阿富汗负责任的主导与国际社会的支助比以往任何时候都更有必要。这应着眼于中长期视角，以便到2014年完全过渡到阿富汗领导之后，阿富汗的经济发展能够自力更生。", "我相信，国际社会坚定地致力于阿富汗的重建。我们期待着在12月份的波恩阿富汗问题会议上取得进一步进展。从阿富汗的角度来说，该国需加强其实现真正阿富汗主导和领导的能力。第1974(2011)号决议要求全面审查联阿援助团的任务授权以及联合国对阿富汗的支助，这将是联合国指引阿富汗未来方向的一个非常重要的任务。联阿援助团继续发挥着重要作用，日本也将继续尽其最大努力，为其活动做出贡献。", "最后，我们愿诚挚赞赏德米斯图拉特别代表的奉献精神，并重申我们致力于支持联阿援助团的工作。", "主席(以英语发言)：我现在请加拿大代表发言。", "里瓦德先生(加拿大)(以英语发言)：阿富汗正进入一个关键时期，很有可能它转型成为一个安全稳定民主政体的长期进程将受到近期事件与决定的重大影响。", "改善安全局势对于我们在阿富汗开展的工作仍是最为重要的事。尽管戡乱努力成功逆转了阿富汗南部的叛乱势头，但是在先前认为安全的地方，暴力却有所上升。需大幅加强安全，以便为阿富汗的增长与发展提供所需空间。", "所有暴力导致的平民伤亡都是惨痛的悲剧，我们采取各种可能步骤避免国际安全援助部队(安援部队)的行动导致平民伤亡。然而，绝大多数死亡都是叛乱分子造成的。事实上，平民常常是叛乱分子的主要目标。最近喀布尔洲际饭店遭袭以及最近叛乱分子利用一名8岁女童作为人体炸弹都惨痛地证明了这一点。我们谴责这些违反国际法的不择手段的做法，并要求停止这种做法。", "最近，阿富汗政府和安援部队启动了将主要安全责任从国际社会过渡给阿富汗当局的进程。加拿大致力于通过北约驻阿富汗培训特派团来增加阿富汗国家安全部队的人数并提高其人员素质，这对于维护该国的和平至关重要。为此，加拿大从2011年至2014年期间将提供950人的加拿大部队和45人的民警来协助培训国家安全部队。我们可能会在坎大哈进行缩编，但是我们仍致力于支助阿富汗。", "(以法语发言)", "光靠军事手段不可能实现阿富汗的稳定与安全，阿富汗政府和叛乱分子需要开展政治和解进程。为实现持久和解，叛乱分子就有必要放弃暴力，断绝与基地组织的联系，并承认《阿富汗宪法》。尽管我们赞同现在就应举行和谈，但是有些阿富汗人确实害怕过去10年来在民主化、人权和提供基本服务方面取得的成果可能会付诸东流。当前的讨论应认识到这种关切，确保和平将为所有阿富汗公民造福。", "加拿大赞同许多阿富汗人和国际社会成员的观点，认为从长期来看，阿富汗的持久和平与稳定将要求一个包容各方的疗养进程。这必须让包括阿富汗妇女在内的阿富汗社会各阶层参与旨在重建关系、解决历史宿怨的长期工作，如果不处理这些宿怨，阿富汗的持久和平就有可能遭到破坏。", "加拿大与我们的国际伙伴一道，正与阿富汗政府密切合作，确保协调过渡中的民事层面，即加强治理与发展，以支持整体过渡取得成功并不可逆转。成功过渡将取决于采取协调一致的努力以及阿富汗领导层做出认真的政治承诺，确保进行有效、包容各方和职责分明的治理。", "必须继续建设和培养阿富汗政府为普通阿富汗人提供服务和机会的能力。在这方面，由阿富汗政府主导的喀布尔进程以及国家优先方案仍是阿富汗政府和国际社会的重要工具。现在，我们必须推动国家优先方案的实施，将它们与安全过渡挂钩，并确保它们在为普通阿富汗人提供医疗保健和教育等方面产生切实裨益。现在重要的是，这些方案要具有财政上的可持续性和现实性。在这方面，国际社会需要帮助阿富汗提高它在此期间创收的能力。私营部门对于该国的发展也将发挥重要作用。", "同样至关重要的是，阿富汗人要能够信任他们选举出来的官员，在区、省和国家一级代表他们的利益。腐败侵蚀了对民主机构的信心，并削弱稳定该国的努力。腐败仍是严重问题，并有可能成为未来数年实现成功过渡的主要障碍。因此，阿富汗政府必须采取具体和明显行动，以打击腐败，防止它使过渡议程脱离轨道。", "(以英语发言)", "区域国家对于阿富汗的成败乃至对南亚和中亚的整体稳定也发挥着重要作用。至关重要的是，阿富汗及其邻国要克服历史上根深蒂固的不信任和利益冲突，这些常常不符合区域稳定和经济逻辑。政治分歧仍阻挠着在本可以实现双赢、为区域持久稳定与繁荣做出巨大贡献的经济举措取得进展。", "我们期待着12月份将在波恩召开的由阿富汗人主导的阿富汗问题会议，它将着重讨论对于过渡进程十分重要的问题。有好几个此类关于阿富汗问题的会议定于2011年召开。绝对重要的是，我们要继续开展公开和坦诚的对话，同时我们还需凝聚真正的政治意愿以实现切实进展。", "过去10年，阿富汗在关键领域取得了显著和可以量化的进展。我们都聚焦于同一个目标，即将安全、治理和发展的责任过渡给阿富汗政府。阿富汗政府及国际社会团结一致，决心实现这个目标，加拿大也将继续发挥积极作用。", "主席(以英语发言)：我现在请巴基斯坦代表发言。", "哈龙先生(巴基斯坦)(以英语发言)：主席先生，我们愿祝贺你担任7月份安理会的主席并感谢你召开今天的辩论会。", "我愿特别赞赏地提及斯塔凡·德米斯图拉秘书长特别代表的通报。巴基斯坦一贯珍视德米斯图拉特别代表有力领导下的联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)的工作。我希望，他不再继续担任该职的传言不是真的。", "秘书长的季度报告是阿富汗政治和安全事态发展的重要晴雨表。我愿强调，这些报告提供了有益指标，以衡量我们在促进阿富汗实现和平的集体努力中取得的进展和遭遇的挫折。", "第一，审查所述期间标志着开始实施向更大阿富汗领导权和自主权的过渡，这也是喀布尔进程所构想的。这是巴基斯坦在安全理事会召开的每一次会议上都要表明的一点。其次，本次会议适逢开始根据第1974(2011)号决议的要求，对联阿援助团任务规定进行全面审查。我们认为，应当继续根据在阿富汗推动民族和解、支持治理以及促进社会经济发展——这或许是至少迄今在图表上表明向上趋势的一个领域——的原则，确定联阿援助团在现阶段的优先事项。", "关于当前对联阿援助团任务规定进行的全面审查——审查应当于2011年完成——我必须强调，必须在各个领域确保阿富汗自主权和尊重阿富汗的主权。联阿援助团工作与过渡期目标之间更加一致以及联合国各机构内部的协调必须成为新任务规定的基本组成部分。", "随着我们离假定的撤离日期越来越近，阿富汗是否正在发烧？我要再次指出，秘书长的报告记录说，安全方面的事件在本报告所述期间增加了51%。报告恰当地对冲突造成的人的损失表示了关切，其特点是不仅叛乱活动，而且军事行动造成的平民伤亡都在不断增加。", "请允许我承认，阿富汗的安全挑战由于三十年的战争、阿富汗安全部队的能力、外国部队的驻留以及罪犯和毒品贩子利用社会政治复杂情况而变得复杂。阿富汗的安全问题不是轻而易举便可解释得清的，例如仅仅归咎于外部因素和进行自拆台脚的指责。", "阿富汗和巴基斯坦境内的暴力和不稳定是一个威胁。因此，我们正在安全和情报领域给予阿富汗一切可能的合作。开展这种合作的一个可行机制是三方委员会，该委员会定期举行会晤，并且包括美国和国际安全援助部队。", "部署在与阿富汗交界地区的我国军事和准军事人员的人数比在阿富汗全境部署的所有国际部队都要多。巴基斯坦对阿富汗和平的承诺坚定不移。如果阿富汗成为代理战争的舞台，或者它的领土被用来开展域外颠覆活动，这将不利于区域和国际和平事业。", "阿富汗安全挑战的长期解决办法在于切实可行的和解和再融合进程。一个自身和平的阿富汗可以最好地确保自己的安全。秘书长的报告及其特别代表所作的通报正确指出了和解与安全之间的联系。", "巴基斯坦支持一个由阿富汗主导的包容性和解进程，以便把反对团体纳入政治主流。我们认为，伊斯兰会议组织和联阿援助团参与和解进程将有所裨益。", "我们强调，必须确保新创建的针对阿富汗的制裁委员会切实有效地帮助遏制叛乱活动，并且促进阿富汗的和解。必须确保做到这一点。我们希望，联阿援助团与安全理事会阿富汗制裁委员会的合作在为列名和除名进程增加专业和政治投入方面将发挥巨大的促进作用。", "巴基斯坦将继续协助由阿富汗主导的和解进程，包括通过阿富汗与巴基斯坦之间的阿富汗和解与和平联合委员会来这样做。该联合委员会的第一次会议于上月在哈米德·卡尔扎伊总统到访前夕在伊斯兰堡举行。我们两国都确认决心紧密合作，以促进阿富汗的长期和解与和平。作为伊斯兰堡会议的后续，联合委员会的第一次工作层面会议于上周在喀布尔举行。会议决定设立专门工作组，以便以负责任和扎实的方式向前推进。请不要误解，这一进程非常积极，而且将产生有益成果。", "我们寻求阿富汗和平与稳定的努力与长期的合作伙伴关系相契合。今天《华盛顿邮报》的头条新闻报道有数百名武装分子从阿富汗越境袭击了巴基斯坦的一个边境村庄，造成一些人丧生，但这不会阻止我们开展这一进程。我给我的朋友的建议是，一切和平进程自然会走到出现此类行为的时候，武装分子希望通过这些行为证明和平进程并不和平。我们将不会屈服于此。", "尽管这些越境武装分子竭力制造混乱并破坏和平进程，请允许我重申，我们将不会容许这种情况发生。在卡尔扎伊总统上个月访问巴基斯坦期间签署的《伊斯兰堡宣言》载有贸易和经济、交通连接性和基础设施、能源和矿产项目合作领域以及加强议会交流和民间往来方面伙伴关系的概述。这些领域的国际援助，特别是企业部门的参与可以促进产生丰厚的区域和平及繁荣红利。", "秘书长的报告指出，过去三个月中，只有19 000多名难民从巴基斯坦返回阿富汗。这个数字难以令人感到鼓舞。我们需要更多地关注这个问题。但是当然，无论发生什么事情，我们都是世界上这一最大难民人口的收容国。", "最后，我要重申，我们支持联阿援助团的目标和努力，特别是秘书长特别代表德米斯图拉的努力。我们坚信，可敬的阿富汗人民将战胜一切巨大挑战，并且抓住新机会创造更美好和繁荣的未来。巴基斯坦将继续做他们坚定和执着的伙伴。", "主席(以英语发言)：我现在请佩德罗·塞拉诺先生发言。", "塞拉诺先生(以英语发言)：主席先生，我要深切感谢你给我机会代表欧洲联盟(欧盟)发言。", "候选国土耳其、克罗地亚、前南斯拉夫的马其顿共和国、黑山和冰岛，参与稳定与结盟进程的可能的候选国阿尔巴尼亚、塞尔维亚和欧洲自由贸易联盟成员国挪威，参加欧洲经济区的成员国以及摩尔多瓦共和国和格鲁吉亚赞同这一发言。", "我要感谢秘书长特别代表斯塔凡·德米斯图拉所作的通报和秘书长关于阿富汗局势及其对国际和平与安全影响的全面报告(S/2011/381)。我们也感谢塔宁大使所作的发言。", "7月份标志着向由阿富汗主导的安全的过渡阶段的开始。欧洲联盟欣见，国际安全援助部队即将在该国7个地区向阿富汗部队移交安全责任。在这方面，秘书长关于由于重点突出的训练和能力建设努力，这些部队的表现已有所改善的评估意见令我们感到鼓舞。与此同时，我们可以在报告中看到，不安全状况在增加，这表明叛乱分子依然负隅顽抗，使过渡更加困难。安全方面的事件与2010年同期相比增加了51%，这一数据凸显出过渡有多么困难。因此必须要回顾的是，过渡进程并不意味着撤出，而是逐步转向真正的辅助作用，过渡也不是根据日历来进行的，而是视情况而定。通过谨慎管理过渡进程，我们正在缓慢但坚实地满足阿富汗人民为自身安全负起责任的愿望。", "创造有利于在该国全境进行成功过渡的条件需要朝着善治和发展方向，并在政治轨道上进一步取得进展。改善治理事关重大，因此，增进公共财政的透明度和监督以及反腐败工作，应当成为高度优先事项。", "一方面，欧洲联盟欢迎启动联合独立反腐监测和评估委员会等积极步骤。另一方面，我们注意到，在喀布尔进程的所有国家优先方案中，有关公共行政和国家以下各级治理的方案进展最少。这是特别不幸的，因为由于几个原因，这些方案也是最重要的。", "正如秘书长指出的那样，在过渡后的阿富汗，捐助者更多通过中央政府进行工作，直接流向地方政府的发展资金将减少。如果没有同中央的更强大和更可靠的联系，没有更好的国家以下各级治理，这些省份和地区将面临得不到援助的风险。", "在治理领域中，发展资金的拨款和分配所面临的一个更直接的障碍，就是继续未同国际货币基金组织就喀布尔银行崩溃的后果达成协议。如果阿富汗要对其本身的发展承担全部责任，并且如果要通过阿富汗机构提供更多的发展资金——卡尔扎伊总统把它称作过渡的组成部分——那么就需要解决这场银行危机。这是一个欧洲联盟及其成员国深感关切的问题，它们每年总共在阿富汗花费10亿多欧元。", "为了解决喀布尔银行危机以及更全面地执行喀布尔进程的治理和其他承诺，例如司法部门现代化和选举改革，就需要解决阿富汗行政部门同议会之间的争议。欧洲联盟要求在这样做时，既要迅速，又要符合权力分立。", "为了建立更加有效和合法的政府机构而采取进一步的步骤，不仅对于发展合作，而且还对政治轨道上的进展，是至关重要的。更好的治理将有助于说服所有阿富汗人，以武力解决分歧今后不再应是一个选项，政治舞台应当成为唯一的角斗场。", "在这方面，欧洲联盟欣见安全理事会最近决定把基地组织制裁制度同塔利班制裁制度分开，这项决定必定促进和解与重返社会的努力。在实地，由阿富汗人领导的这些努力受益于联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)的支持，联阿援助团继续通过提倡基本服务、释放被拘留者和保护平民，促进建立信任措施。正如报告证实的那样，平民仍然在冲突中遭到主要打击，80%至90%的平民伤亡同反政府分子有关。", "和解工作不仅应当由阿富汗人领导，而且也决不能偏离其基本原则：反对基地组织、放弃暴力和尊重《宪法》。为确保和平而牺牲国际法和不可剥夺的人权，包括妇女的权利和宗教少数的权利，将导致得不偿失的胜利。这并非是某种乌托邦式的野心，要把阿富汗变为一个完美的地方，这只不过是要捍卫本世界组织和欧洲联盟的基本价值。", "在我们最近关于本项目的辩论中(S/PV.6497)，当它的任务期限被提上议程时，我们对联阿援助团作了详尽的发言。这就是为什么我今天在发言的最后，将仅限于再次表示欧洲联盟对它在过渡时期的关键作用的支持，包括作为联合协调和监测委员会的共同主席，这个机构需要得到进一步的加强。", "我们赞扬斯塔凡·德米斯图拉及其工作人员的承诺和勇气，并最强烈地谴责对联阿援助团的袭击。联合国在阿富汗为全体阿富汗人做重要的工作，我们大力支持它在短期和长期内继续参与那里的工作。在今后的新阶段里——一个存在极大机遇但也面临巨大危险的阶段，我们要依靠联阿援助团。但是，正如阿富汗人所说——我希望这一说法是准确的——即便最高的山峰，也有一条登顶的路径。", "主席(以英语发言)：我请土耳其代表发言。", "乔尔曼先生(土耳其)(以英语发言)：首先，请允许我向塔宁大使和秘书长特别代表德米斯图拉表示热烈的问候。我也谨感谢秘书长提出他的报告(S/2011/381)，并感谢特别代表颇具见地的通报。", "我们感谢联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)在德米斯图拉特别代表的有效领导下，为完成任务所做的兢兢业业和出色的工作，正如最近在4月1日对联阿援助团在马扎里沙里夫的驻地的袭击所证明，他们面临非常真实和严重的威胁。我们强烈谴责和痛惜这一令人发指的袭击，并再次向丧生者的遗属以及联阿援助团人员和整个联合国大家庭表示慰问。", "我们也谴责反叛分子最近对阿富汗目标发动的一连串袭击，导致更多的无辜平民丧生。这些袭击是不可容忍的，阻挡不了阿富汗人民和国际社会建设和平、安全和民主的阿富汗的努力。", "阿富汗正在经历一个历史性的转变时期。阿富汗的邻国和区域内外的其他相关行为方，应当尊重阿富汗的主权，并且继续为巩固它作出多方面的贡献。移交安全责任、和平进程和经济发展，都是实现阿富汗完全当家作主的最终目标的核心努力。如果其中一个进程遭遇失败，整体工作也将出错。", "由阿富汗人领导阿富汗的所有进程，是一个基本原则。安全是一个主要的有利因素，将促进发展、治理、法治和机构能力建设。过去6个月里，军事行动达到前所未有的程度，然而，只能通过政治解决才能实现阿富汗的持久和平与稳定。因此，在和解的机会之窗打开时，必须给予阿富汗和平进程必要的时间和空间。", "阿富汗的和平前景比以往更加光明，请允许我强调，为了阿富汗和平的持久性，必须容纳社会的所有阶层，因为增进全国团结是唯一最重要的基础，持久和平与稳定将在此基础上稳固发展。尽管培训阿富汗国家安全部队，对于在2014年底完成过渡是至关重要的，但是，民事能力建设和经济可持续性在2014年以后将是同样重要的。我们敦促所有捐助方增加对发展民事能力和经济可行性的捐助。", "一个良性的区域秩序，是阿富汗和平、主权、发展与繁荣的不可或缺的支柱。反过来，阿富汗的和平、主权与繁荣，将成为其邻近地区的和平与繁荣的不可或缺的支柱。在这方面，我们将继续努力支持在秘书长报告中提到的、5月10日由土耳其外交部长阿赫梅特·达武特奥卢阁下在伊斯坦布尔主持的区域国家会议上讨论的区域层面。", "为2011年11月2日在伊斯坦布尔举行的阿富汗问题伊斯坦布尔会议所做的筹备工作已经开始。在土耳其和联阿援助团的共同主持下，分别于6月3日和26日在伊斯坦布尔和喀布尔举行的国际接触小组区域合作工作组会议是有益的，吸引了区域内外对即将举行的伊斯坦布尔会议的广泛支持。", "已经出现一系列共同点。2002年《喀布尔友好睦邻关系宣言》(S/2002/1416)是一份突破性的文件。2007年《关于“亚洲心脏”友谊与合作的伊斯坦布尔声明》(S/2010/70，附件)甚至超越了《喀布尔声明》，提出了一个共同的区域构想，是一个可喜的里程碑。", "然而，自去年的伊斯坦布尔会议以来，区域工作以及情况和需求已经大有进展，并且我们希望所有这一切将能够以某种形式写在纸上，然后伊斯坦布尔会议的与会者将能够签字。我们知道，这是阿富汗想要从区域会议中得到的收获。", "因此，我们想要使伊斯坦布尔会议成为区域层面的一个转折点。", "我们一如既往，期待着国际社会的大力支持，而其重要性已在秘书长的报告中得到强调。在举行关于阿富汗问题的伊斯坦布尔会议之前，我们将同阿富汗、联合国以及所有其他有关国家和组织密切合作，因为该会议将是今年头等国际大事之一。", "主席(以英语发言)：我请德米斯图拉特别代表回答各位所做的评论。", "德米斯图拉先生(以英语发言)：我要简略谈三点。第一，我感谢安理会成员所做的一切评论。我还适当地注意到每一个安理会成员和其他代表所做的评论、提出的建议和表示的支持。", "第二，我还要代表我的全体900多位同事，感谢所有与会者就我的同事们正在作出的牺牲和在Mazar-e-Sharif发生的不幸事件所说的非常友好、温馨的话。这确实有助益。", "最后，我相信，塔宁大使和我本人将带回喀布尔一个强烈信号：国际社会支持、持续不断地关心和介入阿富汗。我认为，在举行伊斯坦布尔会议和波恩会议之前困难的数月期间，这将对我们有所帮助。", "主席(以英语发言)：安全理事会就此结束现阶段对其议程项目的审议。", "下午1时15分散会。" ]

But this time, Ambassador Tanin has insisted, with me, to go back to the rules, to show that Afghanistan intends to stick to international rules. Therefore, with his permission, I will apply the old approach and take the floor as he kindly requested me to do.", "We meet today at the moment when we are at a special crossroads. July is a significant month in 2011, as decisions have been taken that relate to the beginning of transition. Transition has been announced, but it is also going to be based on the decisions taken at upcoming meetings of the international community with the Afghan authorities, starting approximately in mid-July. This is also the month when we are starting to see the gradual implementation of the decision announced in the speech by President Obama with regard to a gradual redeployment of international forces, in particular those of the United States. In other words, we are at a crossroads between national sovereignty and what comes with it, namely, responsibility and accountability, and between continuing conflict and a politically inclusive dialogue.", "First of all, on the transition, it is like a train that is moving forward. According to every indicator I have — and as we heard at the meeting we had on the transition conference in Kabul — it is also on track. The transition will also of course address seven areas, provinces and cities. As usual, we will see that the devil in the details. But the transition is on track.", "An issue on which we are working — and on which we should be working more, as was recognized in the meeting to which I referred — has to do with the fact that transition cannot be, and should not be, only about security. It has to be about something more. It needs to be a transition to something that the Afghan people recognize and identify with. That is why we are working together in order to ensure that the results in the social, economic and human rights aspects are linked to the transition. In that sense, while the transition is irreversible like a Swiss train, we need at the same time to make sure that it becomes solidly irreversible with regard to the socio-economic aspect.", "In that context, one element that has been discussed in the past few days, and which may come up again, is the idea of seeing whether we could have some of the projects that may emerge that are related to transition linked to some type of transition dividend. In other words, there will undoubtedly be some savings on the military side. Some of it may be utilized to ensure that local Afghan authorities and the people in the areas that are being transitioned feel that there is continuing interest and substantive support for their development. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) will do its part in that regard, based on its very clear mandate, in particular to facilitate that aspect of the transition.", "That leads me to my second point, which is normally the first one in Afghanistan, that is, security. As the Council knows — and there have been many reminders of this — the security situation has been an issue of concern recently. But we have to look at it in context. God knows I do so with care and caution, having just experienced tragedy on 1 April. There have been attacks on the Intercontinental Hotel. Many of us have been there and we know its iconic value. It was shocking. There have been attacks inside the city and in military hospitals, and even in the Ministry of Defence. There were attacks in Kandahar for two days, as well as attacks in Herat on the Italian provincial reconstruction team.", "But let us put it into context. All the attacks were taken care of in an effective way by the Afghan military and police — albeit perhaps sometimes in a rather confusing way, as we are all in the process of training. Even at the Intercontinental Hotel, in a way, the end of the attack was supported by International Security Assistance Force helicopters. Again, however, the Afghan forces were up front.", "I think that is an important point, because there is a perception of improvement in terms of the security situation, which is true. There has been a surge and there has been an improvement in the perception of the momentum being reversed. It is also true, however, that there is a constant attempt by anti-government forces — during the spring offensive, as they call it, and in the summer — to try to reverse that perception by giving signals of dramatic surgical attacks. But I must say that, so far, the first impression still prevails. The Afghans have been able to handle it. That does not mean that in the next few weeks or perhaps months, as the summer is not over, there may not be moments of great difficulty in the security situation.", "That is why it is so important, first, to address the issue of civilian casualties, which is affecting the Afghan people, and, secondly, to actually go into the other phase, namely, a political search — as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and, recently, President Obama have indicated, and as has President Karzai several times. Everybody recognizes that no military solution is conceivable in Afghanistan. We now need to move more effectively into a political search.", "That means reconciliation. Where are we on that? Well, as is clear for all to see, there have been a lot of contacts. Unfortunately, there have also been leaks to the media, which have not helped those contacts. But there is clearly a need for dialogue, and we are getting indications that this will be resumed in a more concrete way very soon.", "Meanwhile, the United Nations is doing its part, in close coordination with Afghan authorities and international stakeholders. We are focusing specifically only on what we are mandated to do, and where we perhaps have added value, that is, on confidence-building measures. These are important, because they are the measures that prepare for substantive discussion, which can only be carried out by the Afghans with the Afghans. They will actually have to do what we have always said, namely, ensure that this is Afghan-led.", "But confidence-building measures do matter, especially at this stage. They include issues such as looking at civilian casualties and giving the Taliban a chance, if they want to be involved, to actually qualify by doing so with facts and not with words and by reducing the tremendous negative impact that they are having on the civilian population, especially in the most recent period.", "Secondly, and I know this is personal judgment, but it is one based on the perception held by many in Kabul, the decision that the Council courageously took to split the list of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) between Al-Qaida and the Taliban is certainly an indicator in the right direction, if we want to continue to push for reconciliation. To give one example, some of the members of the High Peace Council, which is the ultimate authority and to which we will refer when there is a substantive discussion, happen to still be on the list. That is very difficult to manage when we, as the United Nations and UNAMA, assist them logistically and substantively and try to travel with them and bring them around in order to make sure that we have meetings.", "One area for confidence-building measures is certainly the possibility of establishing a venue — let us not call it an office — where meetings could eventually take place between the Taliban and stakeholders, in particular Afghan partners, without a feeling of insecurity and with an atmosphere of sufficient discretion. That is not yet there, but it is one of the areas.", "Let me mention an additional area, which has come up in the past few weeks. It has to do with education. If there is one area that the international community and the Afghan authorities should be proud of, in terms of improvement after the departure of the Taliban, it is education. Seven million children are currently enrolled and going to school, many of them girls. We continuously witnessed the tragic decisions taken during the Taliban’s rule regarding schools in general and girls in particular. There are some indicators that they appear for the first time to be sending messages — even publicly through the Internet — that they might have learned from that mistake. We hope that this is not just a tactical decision and that they are in fact indicating their interest in not attacking schools.", "There have been some contraindications. Some teachers have been affected recently, but on the whole our own research indicates that some 400 schools, newly established in certain areas that could clearly be influenced by a Taliban presence, have seen a substantial reduction of attacks. Minister Wardak has drawn my attention to this. We, together with UNICEF, will continue studying the situation; if this is a trend, we will recognize it as a confidence-building measure. But it needs to be verified.", "There is one area that I think we need to refer to when we talk about reconciliation. That is reintegration. The institutional architecture is there, and all members of the Council have contributed substantially — some very substantially — to actually making sure that this is a real and well-prepared eventuality. So far, there has been some traction and momentum. More than 1,800 people are currently in the programme. But challenges exist.", "First of all, it is clear that until real reconciliation takes place, it will be very difficult to see major momentum. But having it ready in order to attract and respond to possible changes is very important, and the proof is that figure of 1,800. We have some concerns and are working on how to ensure that there is sufficient vetting. I must share with the Council the fact that one of the preliminary indicators of the attack in Mazar-e-Sharif was that three out of the five people who violently and brutally killed my colleagues were actually reintegrated ex-Taliban. That shows, first of all, that we need to be very careful about vetting and that none of this is waterproof until there is a final reconciliation.", "My next point is that, regardless of whether or not reconciliation takes place, without a regional context it will never be totally sustainable. That is why, over the past few months, we have been looking with great satisfaction and interest at the substantial increase in bilateral, trilateral and multilateral meetings, from the Shanghai process to the several meetings that have taken place between the Afghan, Pakistani and United States authorities. The same applies to the meetings taking place in Istanbul, in which Iran was included in addition to Pakistan and Afghanistan. We therefore hope and believe that the Istanbul meeting to take place on 2 November will be quite an opportunity for this to be addressed.", "As members of the Council know, there is an international contact group. It is informal, but is growing in its impact and influence. We had a very good and constructive meeting in Kabul, where, apart from other major issues related to transition, Deputy Foreign Minister Ludin came up with an initiative that we are planning to support. The initiative will seek to determine whether we may come to some understanding in Istanbul on stability, along the lines of what was done in the Balkans some time ago or during the Helsinki process. In other words, it will seek something in writing that reassures all sides about mutually reinforced stability.", "That would make more sense, of course, if there were also a mechanism to support it and a financial trust fund for regional incentives. All that may be on the table by the time of the Istanbul meeting, but we are certainly working seriously with the Afghan and Turkish authorities and all participants, regional and beyond, to get something moving in that regard.", "There is no question that, at the moment, there are some clouds related to regional understandings, such as that currently prevailing on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. This should not be overly dramatized and should, frankly, be left to the Afghans and Pakistanis to discuss. They have recently held very constructive and useful meetings, both in Islamabad and in Afghanistan, and they will be neighbours forever. We will be there for a while, but they will always be there. So while we are looking at these events with concern, we are also hopeful that this type of bilateral discussion will be a move in the right direction.", "There is another issue that is important in the context of the regional environment, and that is the concern of some regional neighbours over the ongoing ambiguity about the nature of the strategic pact or understanding that may be discussed between the Afghan authorities and, in particular, the United States. Some countries have been very concerned about the possibility of permanent, large foreign bases in Afghanistan. We have been trying to reassure everyone that this does not actually seem to be the case and that it is actually up to the Afghan authorities to reassure the neighbours about the real nature of whatever strategic agreement may be reached. Having travelled in the region, I recognize that it is still an issue that we believe would be better resolved with clarity before Istanbul. We hope it will. There have been statements issued by the United States authorities — even from the highest levels in the Pentagon — trying very rightly to offer reassurance in that regard, but some additional homework would probably help to dissipate that cloud.", "That leads me to another issue — counternarcotics. At a time of possible gradual changes of focus on the part of the international community in Afghanistan, there is a concern that the so-called economic environment will be changing. That is proven by facts. The military drawdown will also reduce the impact of everything that is financially linked to a substantial military presence. The particular fear of my colleagues in the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, to which I draw the Council’s attention, is that the narco-economy may then become more appealing to some Afghans. There is therefore an important need for us not to forget that aspect, which as Council members know is substantively affecting not only Afghanistan but also, again, its neighbours.", "That leads me to the issue of human rights. If there is one area where I believe the United Nations will be remembered in Afghanistan, it is probably the way it has held the fort and raised high the flag about the need to respect human rights. That is why the civilian casualties report is so important and has been a major irritant, frankly, particularly to the Taliban, who have told us many times that it is hurting them. We have been telling them that there is a way to avoid that — by not hurting civilians.", "This has also had an impact on the interventions of the International Security Assistance Force and NATO, particularly air raids. I know that the errors that have been made are increasingly drawing the attention of the United States and NATO authorities, whereas the horrors that the Taliban have been perpetrating in many places — such as the recent attacks on the bank and a hospital — have also drawn attention, and they are annoyed by that. We hope that this will help everyone, and the Taliban in particular, to understand that there is a moment when the popular support that they believe they enjoy is being affected by the level of civilian casualties they have been causing.", "The issue of women is still very important. We have 69 women in Parliament. We count on them to be able to defend what has been achieved by women in Afghanistan, but we remain worried about the reports we are getting about the many cases of concern, such as the judiciary sometimes punishing women when they move out of their homes or decide not to marry.", "The same thing obviously applies to the issue of children. There have been cases of children used as suicide bombers. There have been cases of children being attacked in a way that has drawn the attention of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict.", "On the humanitarian side, there is one area to which I need to draw the Council’s attention. At the moment, the welfare programme is having a difficulty with resources. It is one of our own stars, trying to show the Afghan people that we will not abandon them at any time, as well as actually providing food to more than 6 million children. At the moment, it has had to substantially reduce the number of beneficiaries due to a lack of resources. I draw attention to that because it is an important issue for all.", "Aid coherence is crucial, and it is also important to recognize that there is a body for aid coherence. It is called the Joint Coordination and Monitoring Board (JCMB). The JCMB is the best body; there is no need to invent a new one. The United Nations specializes in creating new bodies, so I would be reluctant to suggest one. Rather, the JCMB should be reinforced. The JCMB has the possibility and potential to deal with aid coherence. But there is a cloud — it is the Kabul Bank. I do not need to remind the Council of that, but it is an important issue that is, in a way, an obstacle to progress at the moment on the JCMB and even to the follow-up to the Kabul Conference.", "That issue is not the Council’s responsibility, but that of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF is engaged and, to be fair to Minister Zakhilwal, eight out of the 10 indicators that were requested to be deployed in order to reassure the international community and the IMF have been addressed, but two remain. We hope and have been contributing to drawing the attention of the IMF to the possible consequences of an Afghan default, so to speak, which is not imminent if that is not approved but is certainly of concern. At the same time, Kabul Bank is a serious issue to the Afghan authorities — $800 million is not something to gloss over. Therefore, serious attention is being focused at the moment.", "The same applies to the issue with which the Council is very familiar — the parliamentary crisis. We were hoping that would not take place 10 months after the elections and six months after the President had solemnly inaugurated the Parliament. We would then have been going through an election that, while imperfect, would be handled by the Afghan institutions during a continued political process.", "Unfortunately, this has not been the case. A special court has indicated that 61 members of Parliament should perhaps leave their positions. There is a current tension, as the Council is aware. Our position is the position of the Security Council — 22 December. We will not change it. The second position is that, indeed, the judiciary has the right to prosecute anyone who has committed a crime, but not to change the outcome of elections, and that the solution must be an Afghan solution and a political solution, but not a judicial solution.", "We are hopeful and will continue to work on behalf of the Council, together with the Afghan authorities, to avoid prolongation of that institutional crisis. Afghanistan needs checks and balances; it needs a Parliament, an executive and a judiciary that all work together. At the moment there is a cloud, but since I am an optimist, I am not expecting much rain, yet, on that issue.", "The last point I will make, with the Council’s permission, is a message. This is a transition period in every sense. But there is also a message, which we must be certain the Afghans hear, that 2014 will not be 1989. They are worried, and rightly so, that for the third time during their recent history they will be graciously abandoned by the international community. I know that is not our intention and certainly not that of the United Nations or UNAMA. We are going to review our footprint. We will review the way that we must work, because transition is taking place everywhere. But we will be there — if everything is there and if the Afghans want us — for a long time. And I think that, from the international point of view, we need to constantly reassure the Afghans of that. That will help them to pass through the transition in this difficult period.", "The President: I thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Staffan de Mistura for his briefing.", "I now give the floor to the representative of Afghanistan.", "Mr. Tanin (Afghanistan): At the outset, allow me to begin by congratulating you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of July. I would like also to express appreciation for your personal role and Germany’s prime role in dealing with Afghanistan in the Council.", "I would like to extend my warmest welcome to my good friend, Special Representative of the Secretary-General Staffan de Mistura, back to the Council. I thank him for his kind remarks and compliments, for his comprehensive briefing and for his introduction of the report of the Secretary-General (S/2011/381).", "As the world enters a post-bin Laden era, Afghanistan, the greatest victim of terrorism, is today at a critical juncture in its quest for peace and stability. Consistent with the outcome of the NATO Lisbon Summit, we have begun the transition process. In the coming days, we will implement the first stage of this process in seven Afghan provinces: Kabul, Panjshir, Bamiyan, the municipalities of Herat in Herat province, Mazar-e-Sharif in Balkh province, Mehtar Lam in Laghman province and Lashkar Gah in Helmand province.", "Transition is a rousing call for Afghans to take the lead in national ownership and leadership and for the Government of Afghanistan to assume its sovereign responsibilities. From our point of view, transition is a carefully formulated comprehensive strategy that presupposes not only a gradual transfer of security responsibilities to Afghan authorities until the end of 2014, but also a conscientious drawdown of international forces, the accelerated training of the Afghan Army and Police, the strengthening of governance, a new regional agenda for multifaceted cooperation, and the prospect of securing a renewed strategic partnership with the United States and NATO.", "The Afghan Government continues its crucial efforts to ensure that the transition process is smooth and viable. However, there should be no doubt that, if the transition process is to succeed and remain sustainable, certain preconditions must be met. First and foremost, we look to our international partners to expedite the training and equipping of our security forces and to provide them with the necessary enablers.", "Last month, United States President Obama announced the gradual drawdown of United States forces from Afghanistan. We welcome the decision and consider it to be in accordance with the recent emerging consensus between Afghanistan and the international community to move from a primarily military engagement to a more solid and enduring partnership beyond 2014. President Obama’s announcement is a testament, first, to the steady ability of Afghan security forces and, secondly, to the changed momentum of the war, despite the recent vicious attacks by the Taliban.", "Contrary to some interpretations, we do not see the drawdown of international forces as an end game or, as some have put it, the beginning of international disengagement from Afghanistan. In the past 10 years, much blood and sweat have been shed and many sacrifices made in order to realize our common objective of lasting peace and security in the country and the region.", "The recent display of a promotional psychodrama of so-called sophisticated attacks, such as the one carried out last week in the Kabul Intercontinental Hotel or the slaughter of a dozen civilians in a hospital in Logar province is a conspicuously well-orchestrated attempt by the enemies of Afghanistan, designed to incite fear among the people, to hinder international support for Afghanistan, and to convince a war-weary audience in some countries that the war is unwinnable.", "Moreover, the recent campaign seeks to sabotage the future of peace talks and undermine the prospect of reconciliation. Those who provide terrorists and extremists with money, arms and strategic guidance are equally responsible for the continued killing and brutal butchery of innocent civilians in Afghanistan. It is therefore imperative to stress the necessity of eliminating the sanctuaries that continue to produce and prepare the ruthless killers and agents of the unending destruction of Afghanistan.", "Acts of terror, however, will not shake our determination to secure peace and stability in Afghanistan. We are pleased to see that an environment conducive to constructive outreach and dialogue with members of the armed opposition is now in place. The reconciliation process will be pursued as a priority, consistent with the understanding that there is no purely military solution and that the transition requires an inclusive settlement. Reconciliation aims to bring peace, prosperity and unity to the country. It is not about ceding any territorial control or accommodating any representation outside the authority of the Afghan Government. The High Peace Council is engaged in discussions with the Taliban and key actors in the region to end the violence and achieve a lasting peace. This is an effort in which all sectors of society, including women, are involved.", "In addition, we are beginning to focus on the regional dimensions of the reconciliation process. We again underscore Pakistan’s significant role in achieving peace and reconciliation, and in this context we emphasize the importance of constructive collaboration between our two countries. We must take the necessary confidence-building measures for that collaboration to continue. The recent armed violations of Afghanistan’s eastern border through hundreds of instances of shelling and artillery fire in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces, which killed dozens of people, including women and children, have been the cause of serious alarm and concern for the people and Government of Afghanistan, and run the risk of undermining the spirit of cooperation between Afghanistan and Pakistan. We urge that such attacks cease immediately.", "The Security Council’s recent decision to separate the Taliban sanctions regime from that of Al‑Qaida was an astute move in support of our peace and reconciliation initiative. It gives new impetus to our Afghan-led reconciliation process. We also appreciate the Council’s decision to meet our de-listing requests, and urge increased focus on acceding to our additional requests, which remain unmet.", "The recent eleventh meeting of the International Contact Group on Afghanistan, held in Kabul with broad participation from more than 50 countries and international and regional organizations, focused on reconciliation, regional cooperation, the transition to Afghan leadership and ownership, and international support beyond 2014. The meeting was held as part of the lead-up to the forthcoming Istanbul Conference on Afghanistan, aimed at creating a stability compact, and to the international conference to be held in Bonn later this year, which will review progress on the transition goals and seek the long-term support of the international community in advancing the political process, including reconciliation and regional partnership.", "A decade of international and regional interaction in Afghanistan is now leading to the emergence of a new silk road, defining the shared benefits of regional cooperation. This year we have engaged in increasingly concrete cooperation with our neighbours in the region, expanding the horizons of understanding and the scope of joint efforts. During President Karzai’s visit to Islamabad last month, a promising future of close cooperation and the realization of a common vision with Pakistan was envisaged for peace as well as for development. That visit was followed by an extensive discussion with the trilateral framework of the Core Group of Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States, which recently held its third meeting in Kabul.", "During the most recent visit of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, India offered its support for Afghan-led reconciliation efforts and announced a significant increase in its assistance to Afghanistan. We also continue to conduct numerous exchanges with Iran, Russia, China, countries of Central and South Asia and the Arab world. The opportunities that a peaceful and stable Afghanistan can offer for prosperity and security in the region are ever more evident. We will continue our constructive engagement with regional partners to realize our common goals.", "Securing Afghanistan and its future is about empowering the country, enabling it to stand on its own feet and take charge of its own destiny. In this regard, we look forward to the upcoming review of the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan as essential to aligning the role of the United Nations with the evolving needs of transition. We are convinced that a more harmonized, streamlined and coordinated United Nations, based on the Delivering as One approach, is vital to furthering the efficiency and effectiveness of the Organization in Afghanistan. We look forward to a lasting partnership with the United Nations during transition and beyond.", "The Government of Afghanistan will continue to improve governance, enhance its fight against corruption and strengthen transparency and accountability in our national institutions. To that end, we will build on existing measures in order to ensure that anyone involved in illegal activities will be held accountable. The Afghan Government’s recent apprehension of two senior executives of Kabul Bank implicated in financial mismanagement is testimony to our firm commitment to accountability and the rule of law. We have presented the Attorney-General’s office with a list of all the accused individuals. A comprehensive investigation of the Kabul Bank fiasco is under way and should lead to reparation of debts and the bringing to justice of all the culprits in the case. We are convinced that the final outcome of the investigation will respond to the concerns both of the Afghan people and our international partners.", "Ongoing consultations are under way to resolve the dispute that arose from irregularities occurring during our parliamentary elections. We are not facing a constitutional crisis. The Government of Afghanistan is fully committed to resolving the issue within the framework of a legal and political solution.", "Far too many innocent Afghans have lost their lives as a result of prolonged violence, insecurity and fighting. The civilian casualties are not just about figures and numbers; they are about the loss of the innocent lives of men, women, children, village elders, health workers, teachers and aid workers. The Taliban has been primarily responsible for such killings and has displayed a total lack of conscience in pulling the trigger on innocent civilians or those who protect local people. However, the number of casualties caused by NATO forces, despite their own repeated calls for a commitment to protecting civilians, remains significant. We reiterate our call for an immediate end to civilian casualties.", "As we move forward, we must think beyond ending the war and towards ensuring sustainable progress across all sectors: security, governance and development. Our goal remains a vision of a peaceful, stable, democratic and prosperous Afghanistan. For that to be achieved, we must build on the gains of the past and forge a feasible framework of cooperation with the region and a long-term partnership between Afghanistan and the international community. The coming years will be crucial to our joint success. Together, we will be able to accomplish the task we began 10 years ago.", "The President: I now give the floor to the members of the Council.", "Mrs. Viotti (Brazil): I thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, for his briefing and his outstanding work in very difficult conditions. I also thank Ambassador Zahir Tanin for his statement.", "Although the situation in Afghanistan has shown progress, the recent rise in security incidents is a painful reminder of the many challenges still ahead. Brazil is both saddened and alarmed by the recent signs of hostility against the presence of the United Nations in Afghanistan. We condemn in the strongest terms the brutal attack on the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA). I take this opportunity to reiterate Brazil’s confidence in the work of the United Nations in helping to lay the foundations for sustainable peace and development in Afghanistan and our support for the Afghan Government in the spirit of transition. We welcome the security enhancement project being implemented by UNAMA throughout the country.", "Brazil is also concerned at the rising civil unrest in Afghanistan. After several years of war and violence, Afghan society should no longer have to endure the burden of war. The increase in conflict-related casualties should not be treated as a mere unintended consequence of the conflict. All concerned must continue to do their utmost to protect civilians and comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law. There can be no military solution to this conflict, and I think that we all agree on that. The Kabul process must be closely followed until the transition to full Afghan leadership and responsibility has been achieved.", "Despite the current difficulties, the transition towards Afghan security responsibility must continue to advance. In the same vein, the implementation of the national priority programmes outlined by the Afghan Government is essential to building the capacity and infrastructure that Afghanistan requires in order to promote its social and economic development as the international military presence draws down.", "In any scenario, reconciliation efforts remain central to a political solution to the conflict in Afghanistan. Dialogue is the path to a solid foundation for the country’s future. Brazil supports the implementation of the measures agreed to at the Review Conference of the Afghanistan Peace and Reintegration Programme. Through an enhanced presence in Kabul, Brazil stands ready to work together with the Afghan people and their Government towards a future of peace and development.", "Ms. Čolaković (Bosnia and Herzegovina): On behalf of my delegation, I would like to thank Mr. Staffan de Mistura for his comprehensive briefing and Ambassador Tanin for his statement.", "We welcome the fact that the Government of Afghanistan has continued to implement the Kabul process, including the successful elaboration of 11 national priority programmes, out of 22. We express the hope that the financing issues related to those programmes will be successfully resolved in coordination with donors. The Afghan authorities must now show tangible results in other important national priority programmes, including those in the areas of justice and subnational governance, which are crucial for the better functioning of the State. We would like to commend the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for its important support for the implementation of the Kabul process.", "With respect to the taking over of the responsibility of the Afghan authorities for security in the country, Bosnia and Herzegovina hopes that the recent incidents in Kabul and other areas will not have a negative impact on the transition which was announced in March by President Karzai and is supposed to start this month. We also took note of the recent announcement by the United States President, Mr. Barack Obama, followed by the United Kingdom and Germany, of a partial withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. That means that the coming period will be crucial to Afghanistan’s future and to assessing the work which has been done by the international community over these many years. In this regard, we particularly welcome UNAMA’s role in facilitating dialogue among development partners and the International Security Assistance Force to ensure that the development perspective is taken into account in the transition planning.", "Another important element for Afghanistan’s future is the Afghan-led reconciliation and reintegration process. It is encouraging to see that efforts to strengthen this process have continued to receive strong support from the international community, including the valuable work of the Special Representative and of UNAMA. Furthermore, the adoption of resolution 1988 (2011) and the establishment of the Taliban sanction regime also represent positive steps in support of reconciliation efforts.", "We reiterate our position that reconciliation and integration are crucial elements of the peace process. We fully understand that such a process can be very sensitive in terms of the human and political aspects and that, consequently, it has the potential to encounter diverse obstacles. Nonetheless, we continue to believe that there is no alternative to an Afghan-led reconciliation and reintegration process and that such a process must be a priority in future. The progress that has been reported on the reintegration of insurgents is an encouraging sign, particularly because it includes Kandahar, which until now had not experienced significant progress in this field.", "Although political developments in Afghanistan continue to advance in the right direction, the security situation in Afghanistan remains for us a cause of great concern. In particular, United Nations statistics show that last May was the deadliest month for civilians, with the number of persons killed representing a significant increase compared with 2010. Bosnia and Herzegovina condemns in the strongest possible terms the deadly attack carried out against Logar hospital on 25 June. It is simply not possible to justify such a crime against innocent civilians. We also condemn the recent attack against a hotel in Kabul and reiterate our condemnation of the deadly attack against the UNAMA compound in Mazar-e-Sharif, where three UNAMA staff members were among the casualties. It is important to continue to call upon all parties to the conflict to strictly comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law and protect civilians while strongly stressing that killing civilians and innocent people is a crime.", "We have also witnessed, as a direct result of the ongoing conflict, a considerable increase in the number of displaced persons. We share the Secretary-General’s view that conflict-related displacements and the failure to provide reintegration support are not only humanitarian issues but important security concerns given their potential for destabilization. United Nations agencies have played a crucial role in supporting the return of Afghan refugees and displaced persons, as well as in the sustainable reintegration of those persons. In that context, we must not forget about the issue of the removal of unexploded explosive devices, since only 27 per cent of the areas contaminated with mines has been cleared.", "We also commend the efforts of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in addressing the problem of illicit drug production, which remains a lifeline for anti-Government forces and terrorists. We are actively participating in the Paris Pact process as part of joint international efforts to suppress, if not eliminate, drug trafficking, which has a major impact on the security of both the countries of supply and the countries of demand.", "Finally, we consider that all of the important issues relating to sustainable peace and stability in Afghanistan can only benefit from regional cooperation, including that of its neighbouring countries: Iran, Pakistan and India. We welcome the reinforcement of dialogue and cooperation. We also commend the efforts of Turkey aimed at supporting Afghan stability and economic development and the forthcoming Istanbul Conference on Afghanistan, to be held on 2 November 2011, as well as the commitments made by Afghanistan’s neighbouring countries during the Fourth Conference of the Least Developed Countries, held in Istanbul, to the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Afghanistan.", "In conclusion, our thanks go to the Special Representative, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, the staff of UNAMA and all United Nations personnel in Afghanistan for their tireless and dedicated work.", "Mr. Osorio (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): Allow me, first of all, to congratulate you, Mr. President, and wish you every success as you and your country assume the presidency of the Security Council this month. I would also like to thank the representative of Gabon, our good friend Ambassador Nelson Messone, who conducted our work last month with great equanimity and seriousness.", "I would like to welcome and thank Mr. Staffan de Mistura, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), and to thank him for his very comprehensive and serious presentation, which very clearly illustrated the various aspects of the current situation in Afghanistan, the reality factors that should be closely borne in mind in the future and the outlook on the process of transition and future consolidation. I would also like to welcome Ambassador Zahir Tanin.", "I would like to highlight the very important contribution of UNAMA in improving the stabilization and democratization process, as well as its determination to work in coordination with the Government in order to lay the foundations for sustainable peace and development in Afghanistan. We consider it appropriate that, in accordance with its mandate, UNAMA continues to focus on supporting the Government in critical areas such as facilitating the political process for peace and reconciliation, security, governance, economic development and regional cooperation.", "My delegation deeply regrets the increase in the number of security incidents, most especially the attacks on United Nations personnel and facilities that took place on 1 April. We welcome and support the activities conducted by the Special Representative to improve the safety of staff and the Government’s commitment to continuing to support UNAMA. Nevertheless, of major concern is the increased frequency of public demonstrations against the international civilian and military presence. The greatest of attention should be paid to this situation.", "Along the same lines, we commend the efforts geared to a transition towards greater Afghan responsibility and leadership and to continue to work in accordance with the timetable for Afghan forces to take the lead in security matters by the year 2014. That goal should be guided by progress on the ground. In that regard, the efforts of the International Security Assistance Force and of the NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan are an important contribution to the creation of conditions that will enable national authorities to gradually assume responsibility for security and governance. We endorse continuing to build relationships with local authorities and community leaders that allow, as indicated by Special Representative De Mistura, the establishment of inclusive dialogue processes to facilitate reconciliation with all segments of the population.", "The adoption of resolution 1988 (2011), by which the Security Council established an independent sanctions regime for individuals and entities associated with the Taliban and recognized a central role for the Government in delisting requests, was a decision that undoubtedly will contribute to the reconciliation process in Afghanistan and will help to build confidence between the parties.", "Afghanistan faces many problems that could threaten the sustainability of the progress made so far. Violence remains one of the main factors, affecting progress and resulting in increased humanitarian needs and a number of civilian casualties and internally displaced persons. We reiterate our call on all parties to the conflict to fulfil their obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law and to take all necessary measures in order to ensure the protection of civilians.", "We emphasize the importance of the joint regional initiatives taken to combat the various aspects of the world drug problem that affect Afghanistan and the region. Constructive and ongoing participation by various actors, within and outside the region, involved in the implementation of common strategies in the fight against the world drug problem in all its aspects under the principle of shared responsibility and in a balanced manner contributes to stabilization and the promotion of mutual trust between neighbouring countries and beyond the region. My country, Colombia, reiterates its readiness to strengthen bilateral cooperation with Afghanistan in order to address this and other manifestations of organized crime.", "Security is an essential condition for strengthening the rule of law, the exercise of fundamental freedoms and the establishment of foundations for economic development. Accordingly, the strengthening of the integrated strategic framework in order to achieve greater coherence in the Organization’s efforts and in the implementation of programmes in support of the Kabul Process is a positive step forward to ensure unity in the United Nations and in the international community’s actions in order to contribute to the exercise of Afghan sovereignty in all aspects of the future of its people.", "Mr. Moraes Cabral (Portugal): I would like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for his very comprehensive briefing as usual, as well as Ambassador Tanin for his very useful intervention.", "I must begin my statement by recalling the attacks in Mazar-e-Sharif. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and indeed the entire international effort in support of the Government and people of Afghanistan were brutally attacked in Mazar-e-Sharif last April. I hereby convey to the Special Representative Portugal’s highest appreciation for the courage shown in the face of adversity and for the constant commitment that UNAMA’s personnel showed to their mission. We commend their dedication. That is the guarantee that the losses suffered will not have been in vain.", "The report of the Secretary-General (S/2011/381), the Special Representative’s briefing and Ambassador Tanin’s statement have, I believe, covered the essential aspects of the situation in Afghanistan and shown us what it takes to make the transition a success.", "Last spring was a hard time indeed. The security assessment indicates that insecurity persists and that the rising number of casualties, especially those involving civilians, is a clear sign that the battle for the future of Afghanistan continues. The recent attack on the Intercontinental Hotel underlines this situation in a very symbolic way. But this is a battle that must be won, not only on the ground against the enemy but also in terms of public opinion — Afghan public opinion, first and foremost, but also international public opinion.", "Civilian casualties are evidently the cruellest face of war. Limiting civilian casualties must therefore rank at the highest level in the military command’s priorities as a fundamental element in the war in Afghanistan, as in any other war. We are aware that significant efforts had been and are being made to decrease civilian casualties caused by military operations. We call upon military commanders to pursue these efforts with steadfast commitment.", "It is clear, nevertheless, that it is the insurgents who are responsible for the vast majority of civilian casualties and for the growing numbers of innocent victims. I recall the Special Representative’s mentioning last March the offer made to insurgents to bring forward their own numbers of civilian casualties, which went unheeded. I also recall the multiple steps already being taken to try to address damage to civilians caused by national and international forces. It would be extremely useful to build upon what is already on the ground and integrate the valuable advice, expertise and goodwill we are able to contribute in order to adequately compensate civilians for their justified grievances.", "The Special Representative reports that a draft regulation on the women’s protection centres is now under consideration by the Technical Legislative Review Committee of the Council of Ministers. Portugal is encouraged by the fact that this process has been allowed to proceed with the required inclusiveness so that the amendments that fully protect women’s human rights were incorporated in the final version of the draft law. We are also pleased to see that UNAMA continues to raise awareness and monitor the implementation of the Law on the Elimination of Violence against Women. We commend UNAMA’s continued efforts in terms of the protection and promotion of human rights as well as the role played by UN-Women. Portugal reiterates the importance it attaches to the participation of women in Afghan Government institutions, including the civil service.", "Concerning the protection of children, which was mentioned by the Special Representative, I would also like to highly commend the initiative of UNAMA and UNICEF, in partnership with the Office of the Special Representative, on violence against children. The broad range of partners assembled by the United Nations agency and the Special Representative is an encouraging sign of public commitment to the rights of children.", "Finally, we take note of the multiple efforts being made by the Afghan Government, both internally and externally. Abroad, recent regional steps towards increased cooperation, at both the bilateral and multilateral levels, are to be welcomed as Afghanistan reassumes its role as a fundamental crossroads of Asia. This shows how Afghanistan’s neighbours can and should play a crucial role in the process of stabilization of that country, and indeed of the region, as underlined by Mr. De Mistura and Ambassador Tanin.", "On the home front, significant challenges remain. We entirely second the affirmation in the report that", "“[i]t is vital that the transition be managed so as to lead to an improvement in security, as well as better access to essential services for the population” (S/2011/381, para. 69).", "Transition is not only security, as Staffan de Mistura underlined. Military success on the ground must translate into an effective governance framework and into strengthening the rule of law, institutions and public services in order to protect those gains from erosion caused by lack of accountability and disconnection from the population’s needs. In this regard, the inauguration of the joint independent anti-corruption Monitoring and Evaluation Committee can only be applauded and its work strongly encouraged.", "Recent developments at the institutional level, namely in the Parliament, have highlighted the need for renewed capacity for political compromise and adherence to the Constitution. The historical moment Afghanistan is living requires undivided focus and commitment. I am sure that decision-makers in Afghanistan are working hard so that this phase remains contained within the bounds of a growing constitutional democracy.", "I conclude by saying that the transition is set to begin this month, and this is something to commemorate. Vast amounts of resources and political will are concurring to make July 2011 a point of departure rather than a point of arrival for Afghanistan and its people. It is up to us to continue to support, as allies and friends, the Government of Afghanistan and its people so as to achieve the success they deserve.", "Ms. Rice (United States of America): Let me begin by congratulating you, Mr. President, on assuming the presidency of the Council and by thanking the Ambassador of Gabon for his very able leadership last month.", "I thank both Special Representative De Mistura and Ambassador Tanin. I want to thank Special Representative De Mistura for his briefing this morning and for his continued exceptional service in Afghanistan. I ask him to convey to the staff of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) the deep and abiding gratitude of the United States for the critical work they do in the face of considerable hardship. That hardship was again made tragically clear on 1 April, when a mob attacked the UNAMA compound in Mazar-e-Sharif, resulting in the deaths of seven United Nations staff members. We reiterate to their families and loved ones our deepest condolences. As always, we stand with the United Nations in the face of such a brutal assault, and again we urge fellow Member States to provide the United Nations with the resources it needs to reinforce its facilities and protect its staff.", "Let me briefly highlight three top priorities for my Government in Afghanistan. First, as President Obama recently said, July marks the beginning of a responsible transition that will see Afghan forces gradually taking the lead in securing their own country. By 2014, this process of transition will be complete and the Afghan people will be responsible for their own security. As Afghan security forces move into the lead, the United States will continue to reduce its military footprint, and our mission will change from combat to support. As President Obama announced last month, the United States will withdraw 10,000 troops from Afghanistan by the end of this year. The remaining 23,000 surge troops he announced in December 2009 will leave Afghanistan by the end of summer 2012.", "President Obama made this decision from a position of strength. We have made significant progress towards our goals. The United States military surge, together with additional troops committed by our allies and partners, has helped stabilize more of the country and shifted the momentum away from the insurgency. Afghan security forces have improved in quality and grown by more than 100,000 troops. In some areas, these improvements have already allowed for the transition of responsibility for security to the Afghan National Security Forces.", "In the face of violence, terror and intimidation, as Ambassador Tanin noted, Afghans are defending their country, establishing local police forces, reopening markets and schools, and creating new opportunities for women and girls. We will continue to support them as they reclaim their country after decades of strife, long after our military mission has ended.", "Secondly, even as we pursue this transition to Afghan security responsibility, we are redoubling our efforts to pursue a peaceful end to this conflict. We support Afghan-led initiatives to reconcile the Afghan people, including the Taliban. We have taken tangible steps to advance Afghan reconciliation and reintegration initiatives, including support to the Afghan High Peace Council and provincial police and reintegration councils.", "As Secretary of State Clinton said in February and as President Obama reiterated in June, the necessary outcomes of any negotiation would have to include a commitment by reconciling insurgents to renounce violence, abandon any alliance with Al-Qaida and abide by the Afghan Constitution, including its protections for women. As evidence of our seriousness, we champion the Council’s decision to split the sanctions regime pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) and to establish distinct sanctions for Al-Qaida and the Taliban. Resolution 1988 (2011) is an important tool for promoting reconciliation while isolating extremists, and it sends a clear message to the Taliban: There is a future for those willing to rejoin the fold of peaceful Afghan society.", "Finally, let me touch briefly on an important part of Afghanistan’s democratic development — its electoral system. Last year’s parliamentary elections, the first run by Afghans since the fall of the Taliban in 2001, represented a historic step for the Afghan people. Afghan electoral institutions — the Independent Election Commission and the Electoral Complaints Commission — demonstrated professionalism throughout the process. They performed admirably, despite a difficult security environment and allegations of fraud.", "We are consulting closely with Afghan officials and our international partners, including UNAMA, on the recent announcement by the special elections tribunal, which called for the electoral results of 62 seats in the Wolesi Jerga to be overturned. We urge Afghanistan’s political leaders and all Afghan institutions to act within their clearly defined areas of competence, in accordance with the Afghan Constitution and electoral law, preserving the necessary system of checks and balances between the judicial, executive and legislative branches. The United States has been clear and consistent about the need for Afghanistan to detect and deal with fraud related to the election process, in accordance with the Afghan Constitution and democratic principles, as provided for by the mechanisms of the Independent Election Commission. It is important that Afghanistan’s Parliament fulfil its constitutional role on behalf of the Afghan people.", "Meanwhile, we must continue to strengthen the capacity of Afghanistan’s electoral institutions. Long-term electoral reform remains key to the country’s democratic future. As we look to the 2014 presidential elections and beyond, we must ensure that we learn the lessons of the past several years, for the benefit of Afghanistan’s democratic future.", "The year 2011 will be a pivotal one, capped by an international gathering in Bonn that will mark 10 years since the international community joined with the Afghan people to help chart a new path together. The past decade has seen great hardship and sacrifice, but it has also produced real progress. With common purpose and sustained commitment, we will continue to help the Afghan people build a more peaceful and prosperous future.", "Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I wish to thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General De Mistura for his briefing and Ambassador Tanin, Permanent Representative of Afghanistan, for his statement.", "One year ago, the Kabul International Conference on Afghanistan was successfully convened. Over the past year, through the efforts of the Afghan Government and people and with the help of the international community, positive progress has been achieved in the Afghan peace and reconstruction process. Meanwhile, Afghanistan is undergoing a critical period of transition whereby continued efforts are needed to achieve comprehensive and balanced development in all sectors — security, political, economic and social. In that connection, I would like to underscore the following five points.", "First, China supports Afghanistan in its continued efforts to push through the Kabul process with the help of the international community. In order to achieve Afghan peace, stability and development, there is a need to fully respect its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity and to support its ownership and leadership, so as to genuinely achieve an Afghanistan run by Afghans.", "Secondly, China is seriously concerned about the recent worsening in the security situation and the rising number of civilian casualties. We have noted that a certain country has announced that it plans to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan. We hope that in the transfer of security responsibilities to the Afghan Government, the parties concerned will earnestly assume responsibilities to help Afghanistan to strengthen its security capacity-building to ensure a peaceful and stable transition.", "Thirdly, China supports Afghanistan in its national reconciliation efforts, fully respects the Afghan Government and people in their choice of their own accord and hopes to see progress in its peace and reintegration programme.", "Fourthly, with regard to peace and reconstruction, Afghanistan still needs the sustained attention and support of the international community. The international community must deliver on and fulfil its commitment to help Afghanistan and to continue to provide the country with assistance. The parties need to respect and implement the priorities identified by Afghans themselves in the context of the Afghan National Development Strategy.", "Fifthly, China appreciates the active efforts of the United Nations to push through the Afghan peace and reconstruction process. We support the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in its continued efforts to play a central and leading role in coordinating aid to Afghanistan. We hope that UNAMA will strengthen its communication, coordination and cooperation with the Afghan Government.", "As a friendly neighbour, China has consistently committed itself to friendly and good-neighbourly relations with Afghanistan. We attach great importance to our participation in reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan. China will continue to provide assistance to Afghanistan within its capabilities and will work with the international community to contribute to peace, stability and development in Afghanistan.", "Sir Mark Lyall Grant (United Kingdom): I should like to take this opportunity to congratulate you, Mr. President, on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for this month. I also congratulate Ambassador Messone and the Gabonese delegation on their stewardship of the Council during the month of June.", "I also wish to thank the Secretary-General for his report (S/2011/381), Special Representative of the Secretary-General Staffan De Mistura for his informative briefing this morning and Ambassador Tanin for his statement.", "As other speakers have done, I extend the United Kingdom’s condolences over the shocking deaths, in Mazar-e-Sharif in April, of staff of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA). It is vital that dedicated United Nations staff can carry out their work in a safe and secure environment, with the full support of the Afghan Government and the international community. I would also like to pay tribute to all other international personnel for the sacrifices they have made in this campaign.", "The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, has just returned from a visit to Afghanistan, where he saw at first hand the progress that the Afghan Government and the international community have made in preparing for the transition to Afghan-led security responsibility across the country. It is encouraging that the first areas are on track to begin the transition process on 20 July. The Afghan National Security Forces will continue to grow in size and capability as they prepare to take the security lead in all provinces by the end of 2014. The United States surge has helped to prepare for transition and, as Ambassador Rice has confirmed, will be drawn down as originally planned. Other international forces will also begin to withdraw as conditions allow. My Prime Minister announced earlier today that United Kingdom force levels will be reduced by a further 500, from 9,500 to 9,000, by the end of 2012. These are signs of progress, improved security and the growing strength of Afghan forces. But it does not signal the end of international support for Afghanistan.", "The United Kingdom deeply regrets all civilian casualties that result from the actions of international and Afghan Government forces. When such casualties occur, it is despite the strong preventive measures that have been put in place. As the Secretary-General notes in his report, the vast majority of casualties are caused by the insurgents, who deliberately use violent tactics designed to intimidate the population. In the past quarter, the insurgency has continued to assassinate Government employees and to deliberately attack civilian targets, including hospitals, markets and the Intercontinental Hotel. Insurgent-related civilian casualties outnumber Afghan and international forces casualties by a ratio of approximately eight to one. We condemn such attacks in the strongest possible terms.", "An Afghan-led political process is needed to underpin the military progress. To be durable, any political settlement must be inclusive and must respect the interests and rights of all Afghan citizens. The death of Osama bin Laden gives the Taliban an opportunity to make a decisive break with Al-Qaida. The British Foreign Secretary has called for the Taliban to make that break and participate in a political process. We urge the international community to call for the same outcome.", "Fundamental to any political settlement and crucial to the future stability of Afghanistan is the safeguarding of democratic principles, including free and credible elections. The United Kingdom remains fully committed to working with the Afghan Government, Parliament and people to strengthen Afghan democracy and representative institutions. We are therefore deeply concerned that the dispute between the Special Court and Parliament remains unresolved. We call upon all parties involved to work together to find a solution in line with Afghan law and to respect the separation of powers that is guaranteed by the Constitution.", "The current situation illustrates the need for further progress on electoral reform. We continue to support the role of the United Nations in assisting the Afghan Government, institutions and people as they take forward commitments made at the London and Kabul Conferences last year. This continues to form a vital part of the mandate of UNAMA.", "Irreversible transition and progress on the political track must be supported by governance and development progress. Putting in place the necessary measures to allow an International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme will be crucial if we are to make progress on these issues. Following the incident of the Kabul Bank, we call for a rapid resolution to negotiations on a new IMF programme, and for those who have broken the law to be brought to justice. The Afghan people deserve no less.", "Since the Secretary-General issued his quarterly report, important progress has been made preparing for the Afghan-led Bonn conference. Members of the International Contact Group had a constructive dialogue in Kabul. We now need to focus on translating these discussions into tangible outcomes, particularly on regional cooperation. We welcome the work led by Turkey in this area and look forward to the Istanbul Conference in November.", "Finally, despite the challenges, significant progress has been made on the road to a secure and viable Afghanistan. As Afghanistan moves from being a post-conflict country to one with more traditional development needs, UNAMA and the wider United Nations family will play an increasingly important role. We therefore welcome the forthcoming review of United Nations activities. We hope that the Secretary-General will include an assessment of the delivery of UNAMA against its current mandate, its role in the post-transition landscape, and how the United Nations can support the Afghan Government in bringing about the emergence of a strong, durable and self-sustainable Afghan State.", "Mr. Messone (Gabon) (spoke in French): I, too, would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of July. I take this opportunity to thank all of the Permanent Representatives and their delegations for the cooperation and support they offered me during Gabon’s presidency of the Council in June.", "I would like to thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Staffan de Mistura and Ambassador Tanin for the briefings they have just provided on the situation in Afghanistan on the basis of the report of the Secretary-General before us (S/2011/381).", "First and foremost, I would like to express our strong condemnation of the recent acts of violence, which undermine the progress and achievements made since March. In fact, since our most recent debate on 17 March (see S/PV.6497), the situation in Afghanistan has seen major progress, particularly in the political transition process.", "We are pleased to note the progress achieved in national reconciliation. In this regard, we welcome the fact that the Afghan Government has, at the request of the Security Council, committed itself to facilitating the reintegration of moderate insurgents, pursuant to resolution 1988 (2011). We also welcome the establishment by the Government of a joint independent committee to promote transparency and accountability within the Administration. We believe that this is an important element in the process of transferring responsibility, which was referred to by Ambassador Tanin a moment ago.", "Despite these efforts, a number of obstacles remain, particularly in the areas of security and good governance. My delegation takes this opportunity to call once again on the new Afghan Government to do its utmost to strengthen its capacity to fight terrorism and corruption, which remain the major obstacles to peace and stability in the country.", "As we stressed at the most recent debate, the security and protection of civilians must be priorities of the Government in its efforts to establish a sovereign State based on solid and stable constitutional institutions. The Afghan authorities should assume their full responsibilities in this area.", "The withdrawal announced this month of a large number of troops from some international forces, particularly those of the United States and NATO, confirm the major challenge that the Government has to meet in its attempts to fully assume it sovereign prerogatives. Here, we reaffirm our full support to the staff of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and the United Nations for their assistance to the Afghan Government to that end.", "In conclusion, we pay tribute to Mr. Staffan de Mistura for his unceasing efforts to support peace and stability in that country. With respect to the impending transition, we share his view that security must remain a priority, but that improved security must yield transition dividends based on improved coherence of international assistance and on inclusive and participatory dialogue. In closing, we reaffirm our support to UNAMA and United Nations personnel in Afghanistan.", "Mr. Crowley (South Africa): Allow me to add the voice of my delegation to those of others who have congratulated you, Mr. President, on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of July, and to thank Ambassador Nelson Messone for his excellent stewardship of the Security Council during the month of June.", "We thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, for introducing the report of the Secretary-General on Afghanistan (S/2011/381). We also appreciate the participation of the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan, Ambassador Zahir Tanin, in this debate.", "My delegation welcomes the relatively positive developments that have taken place over the past few months in Afghanistan, particularly with regard to the progress towards greater Afghan leadership and ownership. These include progress in the implementation of the Kabul process, momentum on reintegration and reconciliation efforts, and cooperation between Afghans and their neighbours.", "Despite these positive developments, Afghanistan continues to face critical challenges in its endeavour to achieve stability and development. Key among them are the security situation, the worsening humanitarian situation, human rights deficiencies and continuing civilian casualties. South Africa stresses that, given the magnitude of these challenges, a comprehensive strategy incorporating security, humanitarian issues, good governance and socio-economic development is required. In this regard, we would like to underscore the central role of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in supporting the Government of Afghanistan and in coordinating international assistance to the country. Crucially, the continued role played by bilateral partners remains indispensable.", "We are particularly concerned over the attacks directed against the United Nations and its personnel. South Africa condemns in the strongest terms the violent attacks against the United Nations operations centre in Mazar-e-Sharif on 1 April, which resulted in the death and injury of United Nations staff.", "South Africa continues to welcome efforts to strengthen political outreach activities. Political dialogue and reconciliation among people and leaders remain critical to the long-term stability of Afghanistan. We are pleased that the High Peace Council has intensified its efforts to lead reconciliation efforts. This, together with efforts to reintegrate insurgents, including the Taliban, should be encouraged.", "My delegation remains concerned by the plight of children caught up in conflict in Afghanistan, and in this connection we strongly condemn the attack on a school on Sunday by a suspected militant on a motorcycle, who threw a hand grenade at the gates of the school.", "With regard to the role of women, my delegation is of the view that Afghan women have a significant role to play in securing the peace and stability of the country. Their role in building a new Afghan society should be welcomed.", "National ownership and leadership remain crucial to political security and socio-economic progress in Afghanistan. On its part, the international community should continue its supportive role in the country’s transition from conflict to stability and prosperity. South Africa therefore continues to support the presence and role of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).", "In conclusion, we commend Special Representative De Mistura for completing the integrated strategic framework for a comprehensive review of UNAMA’s mandated activities and the United Nations support to Afghanistan, and thank UNAMA and its personnel for their efforts in executing the mandate of the Security Council for a more peaceful and stable Afghanistan.", "Mrs. Ogwu (Nigeria): I want to thank Special Representative De Mistura for his very inspiring and lucid briefing. I also want to thank Ambassador Tanin not only for his comprehensive briefing, but also for the tremendous courage that he has demonstrated even in trying times.", "Nigeria welcomes the steady progress being made in Afghanistan. The quest for honourable peace and stability has been steadfast. A new Constitution is in place; several elections have been held; economic growth seems promising; the new counter-insurgency strategy bolsters recent military gains; and donor commitment to funding civilian reconstruction remains very strong. We believe that these political developments should be consolidated through a rigorous reconciliation and reintegration process involving Taliban and non-Taliban insurgents, especially in the Kandahar area.", "As the report of the Secretary-General (S/2011/381) cautions, we must be vigilant in ensuring that the reconciling parties are indeed genuinely committed not only to the new code of conduct delineated by the Government, but also to upholding the Constitution. The political process must be led and driven by Afghans and in accordance with the Constitution. It must promote not only lasting peace and stability, but also the protection of the interests of women. A successful political process will serve to underpin the ongoing efforts of the Government to improve governance and accountability, including the unimpeded participation of women in the peace process.", "The Government should remain committed to its anti-corruption agenda and its obligations arising from the London and Kabul conferences. A greater commitment of the Government to its anti-corruption agenda and its obligations arising from the London and Kabul Conferences will strengthen these efforts.", "On the security sector, the recent attacks on the United Nations operations centre in Mazar-e-Sharif and on the capital’s premier hotel are tragic reminders of the tense and fragile security situation in the country. We condemn such cowardly acts, which indiscriminately target innocent civilians, security forces and the personnel of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). The perpetrators of those attacks must be brought to justice. Indeed, such attacks undermine the capacity of the Afghan security forces and raise questions about the readiness of the Afghan authorities and security forces to meet the security challenges ahead. We support the urgent strengthening of the implementation phase of the security transition process through enhanced training and capacity-building and greater cooperation between the United Nations and ISAF forces.", "The participation of the Afghan Government in the listing and de-listing process will provide a more secure platform for the fight against terrorism, especially against the background of the Kabul communiqué. That is why Nigeria supported the decision to split the Al-Qaida and Taliban sanctions regimes. In this regard, we wish to reiterate that such de-listing requests should be addressed by the Committee on a case-by-case basis, and especially on their own merits.", "In the economic sphere, Nigeria commends the Government’s continued commitment to implementing the national priority programme in accordance with the Kabul process. Implementing the programme and meeting the Government’s set benchmarks will require greater coordination and timely international assistance on the part of the donor community. We support the channelling of donor funds and other assistance to the country through the Afghan budget system in order to ensure greater coherence and efficiency.", "The current socio-economic growth and the Government’s prioritized programme, including education and health care, will suffer reversals if a viable solution to the continued impasse on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme is not urgently found. We therefore support the setting-up of an appropriate mechanism that the Government and donors alike can utilize to advance and implement the IMF programme.", "On regional cooperation, we welcome the growing cooperation between Afghanistan and its neighbours, especially in overcoming counter-terrorism challenges and combating drugs, arms, human trafficking and organized crime. We welcome the revival of the tripartite meeting between Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States. Both developments reaffirm the commitment of regional partners to Afghanistan’s stability, economic development, territorial integrity and sovereignty. It is our hope that the tripartite initiative will be sustained as we all look forward to the Istanbul Conference scheduled for 2 November and the international conference of foreign ministers scheduled to take place in Bonn at the end of this year. Through these conferences, the international community can renew its commitment to and support the Afghan-led peace process.", "The future and destiny of Afghanistan may defy imagination, but the international community must be eternally vigilant to make certain that it is a future of peace, security and, indeed, genuine reconciliation and development. In this formidable endeavour, we commend Special Representative Staffan de Mistura for his inspiring and exceptional leadership of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. The distinctive accomplishments of the staff of the Mission and their invaluable contributions to the concerted global effort to restore democracy, peace and security to Afghanistan will endure eternally.", "Mr. Pankin (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): Allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for July. I wish you every success. I also wish to thank the Gabonese delegation for its June presidency and work.", "We are grateful to Mr. Staffan de Mistura for his substantive and frank analysis of the situation in Afghanistan and for introducing the report of the Secretary-General (S/2011/381). We welcome the statement made by Ambassador Tanin, Permanent Representative of Afghanistan.", "We agree with their assessment of the measures being taken by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), pursuant to its mandate. We share their evaluation of the ongoing difficult security situation in Afghanistan, as reflected in a number of serious incidents over the course of recent months. I refer first and foremost to the tragic attack in April on the United Nations office in Mazar-e-Sharif and the deaths of United Nations staff. We were also shocked by the killing of former Deputy Minister of the Interior Daoud in Takhar province in May and by the attacks in June on the hospital in Logar province and the car of the Governors of Badakhshan and Parwan provinces, as well as by the recent Taliban attack on the Intercontinental Hotel that led to the deaths of innocent civilians. We strongly condemn all of these terrorist acts.", "These insurgent attacks show that the Taliban movement is pursuing its attempts to destabilize the situation in Afghanistan and to undermine the efforts of the international community towards the post-conflict reconstruction of the country. The leadership of the Taliban is neither acting on behalf of the Afghan people nor working towards lasting peace and a prosperous, independent Afghanistan.", "The Russian Federation is particularly concerned about the situation in northern Afghanistan, where a number of high-profile terrorist acts have taken place. Those acts have had repercussions in Central Asian States, including our partners in the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. In the light of the continued efforts of terrorists of the Taliban and Al-Qaida, a targeted and measured approach is necessary to implement the plan for national reconciliation.", "We hope that the recent changes to the sanctions regime pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) will boost the efforts of the Afghan Government to implement its national reconciliation strategy, give added impulse to addressing the problem of an Afghan settlement and enhance regional security — conditions that were all agreed to by the international community.", "In that context, we note the reaffirmation in resolution 1988 (2011) of the important principles of national reconciliation in Afghanistan, including the renunciation of violence, respect for the Afghan Constitution and the renunciation of ties to Al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations. Under these criteria, it is unacceptable to de-list Taliban leaders from the United Nations sanctions regime list. A dialogue with Taliban leaders can be carried out only under Afghan leadership. Any contact with them, in particular outside official channels, could send the wrong signal from the international community in the context of an Afghan settlement.", "We are also particularly concerned about the consequences of implementing a plan for the long-term enhancement of the military presence in Afghanistan after 2014. We believe that the establishment of a neutral status for Afghanistan is necessary. The Presidents of the Russian Federation and the United States spoke in favour of this idea in their joint statement of 24 June 2010, and members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization also supported it in the Astana Declaration of 15 June. Of course, the initiative on this issue lies with the Afghan people themselves — not in the near future, but when the stabilization of Afghanistan is complete. The establishment of Afghanistan’s neutral status, if accepted, could, we believe, facilitate dialogue on reconciliation.", "We are concerned about the drug trafficking situation in Afghanistan. There is no doubt whatsoever that drug trafficking in Afghanistan is a threat to international peace and security, as reflected in resolutions 1943 (2010) and 1974 (2011). Neutralizing this threat requires joint efforts and the pooling of all possible capacities. Unfortunately, the coalition forces have not focused sufficient enough attention on this issue. My country believes that the foreign military presence in Afghanistan can and should play a more proactive role in dealing with drug manufacture and trafficking, particularly since they have assumed responsibility for security in Afghanistan. Our recommendations remain valid with respect to real-time interaction on that track among our partners in NATO, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Collective Security Treaty Organization.", "We are deeply concerned over the death of civilians through the indiscriminate or disproportionate use of force by military forces. Under the norms of international humanitarian law, the responsibility for guaranteeing the security of the civilian population lies with all parties, including the international forces. The Russian Federation will continue to favour the central coordinating role of the United Nations in international efforts to ensure a solution to the situation in Afghanistan. Effective and impartial United Nations support for the implementation of the provisions of the outcome document of the Kabul Conference on Afghan ownership of the country’s administration will guarantee long-term stability in Afghanistan.", "Another important aspect of achieving long-term stability is United Nations control of the manner in which the international forces implement Security Council mandates. Those forces are on Afghan territory under the auspices of the Security Council and can withdraw only pursuant to a decision of the Security Council upon fulfilment of their mandate. They do not have the right to leave Afghanistan without fulfilling their anti-terrorism tasks or establishing an effective Afghan army and police.", "My country believes that the drawdown of United States forces announced by United States President Barack Obama will be offset by an increase in the capacities of the Afghan National Security Forces, which should be ready to control security and effectively counter extremism and drug trafficking.", "Ms. Ziade (Lebanon) (spoke in Arabic): I wish at the outset to express Lebanon’s gratitude to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, for his briefing and to Ambassador Tanin of Afghanistan for his statement. I also commend the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for its efforts in Afghanistan, in particular in view of the difficult circumstances on the ground.", "Ten years after the international military intervention in Afghanistan, we are now bearing witness to the dawn of a new era with the transfer of authority to the Afghan people. Yet, the security situation remains alarming. Violence against international and Afghan forces and against the Afghan people continues at an accelerated pace. This situation has led to a greater need for vigilance at the security level during the transitional phase in order to return power to the hands of the Afghans and to ensure the safety of civilians and their property. All parties are called upon to respect international humanitarian law and to make every effort to spare the lives of innocents.", "In the context of the search for a political solution to the crisis, Lebanon commends efforts to achieve reconciliation and reintegration. Specifically, we underscore the role played by the High Peace Council and the Security Council’s support for the reconciliation process through its unanimous adoption of resolution 1988 (2011), which splits the sanctions regimes for the Taliban and Al-Qaida and provides members of the Taliban with the opportunity to disassociate themselves from terrorist ideology and respect the Constitution in order to participate in the peace process.", "No less important than the security and safety situation is the issue of strengthening respect for human rights in Afghanistan. Specifically, efforts should continue to be made to enforce laws regarding acts of violence against women in every province. Women should be protected against discrimination, injustice and coercion, and should be integrated into public life. These are things that the Organization has repeatedly called for.", "Moreover, we would like to underscore the significance of the allegations in the Secretary-General’s report (S/2011/381) concerning the ill treatment and abuse of detainees, who are often deprived of legitimate defence counsel as well as being arbitrarily detained without charge or trial. It is essential to good governance that such gaps in the areas of the rule of law and institutions be dealt with.", "We should also emphasize the importance of continued commitment to the Kabul Process, particularly in the context of social and economic development. The reform of public institutions is also crucial to transparency and accountability. We would also like to add our voice to the call made by Secretary-General in his report concerning the need for the creation of an International Monetary Fund country programme. The lack of such a programme is having a generally negative effect on projects and programmes around the country.", "In addition, efforts within Afghanistan should be accompanied by dialogue and regional cooperation. Neighbouring countries can — indeed, it is in their interest to do so — strengthen their ties with Afghanistan and contribute to improving the safety and security situation by monitoring borders and combating drug-trafficking and transnational organized crime.", "We would like to emphasize our appreciation for the international community’s efforts in general and in particular those of the United Nations, through all its agencies. United Nations staff are working courageously and determinedly under very difficult circumstances to build an Afghan State that is capable of protecting its own people and institutions, with a view to safeguarding the lives and prosperity of all Afghan men, women and children.", "Mr. Vinay Kumar (India): At the outset, I would like to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council, and to commend the Permanent Representative of Gabon and his team for having steered the work of the Council in June. I would also like to thank you, Sir, for scheduling today’s debate on Afghanistan. And I thank Ambassador Zahir Tanin, Permanent Representative of Afghanistan, for his statement. We are grateful for the Secretary-General’s latest report (S/2011/381) and appreciate the briefing by Special Representative Staffan de Mistura.", "Afghanistan is at the beginning of the implementation stage of the transition whereby its security forces will start to assume their responsibilities in seven key areas, including Kabul. This is a critical phase for both Afghanistan and the international community. We are deeply concerned that the challenges confronting Afghanistan, particularly on the security front, do not appear to be receding. On the contrary, the overall security environment continues to deteriorate. The Secretary-General’s report notes that there has been a 51 per cent increase in security incidents compared with the same period in 2010, characterized by a significant increase in suicide attacks, abductions and assassinations. The terrorist attacks on the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) compound in Mazar-e-Sharif and the Government buildings in Kandahar, and the coordinated suicide attack at the highly secure Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul and on a hospital in Logar, confirm a change in tactics whereby the Taliban and other opposition groups are opting for soft civilian targets.", "As was pointed out in our statement on this subject on 17 March (see S/PV.6497), such attacks point to a dangerous osmosis of ideologies, ambitions, training and operations among the terrorism syndicate in the region, with suicide terrorism as its main technique and targets not limited to Afghanistan. The international community, in its hurry to withdraw from a combat role in Afghanistan, will ignore this at its own peril. It therefore becomes crucial that the transition be linked to the realities on the ground rather than to a rigid timetable.", "A constant assessment and review of the evolving situation, in coordination with the Afghan Government, is essential in that regard. We appreciate the enhanced collaboration between the International Security Assistance Force and the Afghan National Security Forces in building the requisite strength and capabilities of the Afghan forces, which, along with adequate enablers, is essential to the transition of security responsibilities. It is important that the transition be Afghan-owned. It must also be planned and implemented in a systematic manner and must ensure the protection and promotion of the human rights of all Afghans.", "For the security and stabilization of Afghanistan, it is important to isolate and root out the terrorism syndicate that includes elements of Al-Qaida, the Taliban, Lashkar-e-Taiba and other terrorist and extremist groups operating within and outside Afghanistan’s borders. These groups are ideologically and operationally fused, and their bonds have strengthened over the years. As the Secretary-General’s report points out, the insurgency in Afghanistan remains resilient, demonstrating a capability for launching multiple complex attacks. The insurgents’ continued resilience, their changing tactics, their numbers and their spread to areas previously considered safe are a grim reminder that security gains will remain transient unless the international community is able to deal firmly with safe havens for terrorist groups outside Afghanistan’s borders.", "India fully supports an Afghan-led, inclusive and transparent process of reconciliation, adhering to the guidelines enunciated by the Afghan Government in the Kabul and London communiqués. This must be accompanied by an inclusive political process and intra-Afghan dialogue. It is important that the antecedents of those willing to reintegrate be ascertained, and that it be ensured that they are genuinely reconciled.", "We support the views and decisions of the Government and people of Afghanistan as they seek to build a more secure, stable and prosperous future and a strong democracy in their country. The Afghan people must be allowed to rebuild their land in conditions of peace and security, free from interference by their neighbours, and they must be the arbiters of their own destiny. It is our expectation that the new sanctions regime established pursuant to resolution 1988 (2011) will enable the Afghan Government to have a greater say in confronting the challenges posed by those who constitute a threat to the country’s peace, security and stability.", "Afghan ownership and leadership are vital to development and reconstruction in Afghanistan. This also implies greater coherence, coordination and further streamlining of the international community’s development efforts, including aligning assistance with Afghan national priorities and increasingly working through Afghan institutions. We are happy to note that UNAMA continues to align its priorities with those of the Afghan Government.", "India and Afghanistan share a strategic partnership based on a strong foundation of rich bonds in history and civilization, and on the shared pursuit of regional peace and prosperity. India remains committed to partnering with the Government and people of Afghanistan in the building of a peaceful, stable, democratic and prosperous nation. India’s assistance programme is spread throughout Afghanistan and covers almost the entire gamut of economic and social development activities. Assisting Afghanistan with its reconstruction efforts, with capacity-building and skills for developing human resources, and with building its public institutions is a special priority area for India. As Ambassador Tanin mentioned in his statement, during his last visit to Afghanistan, from 11 to 13 May, our Prime Minister announced additional assistance of $500 million over and above India’s existing commitment of $1.5 billion.", "Afghanistan’s stability and economic development depend greatly on its neighbours and the region as a whole. Closer economic integration with India and other countries in the region is the key to Afghanistan’s future prosperity. The area of Afghanistan south of the Hindu Kush all the way up to the Ganges delta form a part of a single geographic and economic basin, with the plains of India constituting the centre of its economic gravity. It is by far Afghanistan’s largest regional market — a potential source of investment, skills, training, technology and expertise and a model of democracy and national institution-building in a culturally comfortable context.", "Afghanistan has immense potential as a land bridge linking Central, West and South Asia and emerging as a trade, transport and energy hub. The recent developments in regional cooperation, including the signing of the agreement on the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project, would provide added impetus to regional cooperation. Growing economic interdependence would catalyse peace and prosperity in the region at large and in Afghanistan in particular. Afghanistan, as a member of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) since 2005, is becoming an increasingly active SAARC member. India, as a neighbour, will continue its efforts towards the greater integration of Afghanistan into the regional framework.", "In conclusion, we commend the good work done by UNAMA and we think that at this critical juncture, it is imperative that the international community continue to remain steadfast in its support for the Government of Afghanistan as per its priorities.", "Mr. Araud (France) (spoke in French): I should of course like, Sir, to congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council and to thank the representative of Gabon for his skilful conduct of the work of the Council during the month of June. I wish also to thank Mr. De Mistura for his presentation on the situation in Afghanistan and would like to associate myself with the statement to be made later by the representative of the European Union. In addition, I should like to thank Ambassador Tanin for his statement.", "I should like at the outset to start by paying tribute to all United Nations staff working in Afghanistan. The Security Council reacted in the aftermath of the 1 April attack against United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) headquarters in Mazar-e-Sharif, an attack that was all the more revolting given that the men and women who were murdered there were working for the stabilization, security and development of Afghanistan.", "The attack should not make us deviate from our main goal, which is to help the Afghan Government move ahead on the path towards full sovereignty. In that regard, the transition process has begun. This new phase of our commitment is leading, as of this year, to the gradual and orderly transfer of security responsibilities to the Afghan authorities. France will remain committed, along with its allies, alongside the Afghan people so as to ensure that the transition process is completed, as scheduled, at the end of 2014, be it in our area of deployment or with respect to the training of the Afghan security forces. Our commitment in Afghanistan is long-term and will be adapted so as to take account of the new context of transition. The planned redeployment of French troops will take place in close cooperation with our allies and the Afghan authorities. However, we must be careful to ensure that that the transition process also leads to the assumption of responsibility by the Afghan Government for both governance and development.", "Much remains to be done, and time is of the essence. We must ensure greater involvement of the Afghan people in the planning and implementation of development projects. For its part, the Afghan Government must wage a more resolute combat against corruption and nepotism, as evidenced by the Kabul Bank situation.", "Progress has also been noted in the area of budget performance through the decentralization of public expenditures and the further strengthening of capacities in the planning and implementation of development projects in the provinces and districts.", "Turning to the issue of security, we have resumed the military initiative and thereby made it possible for the Government of Afghanistan to regain a foothold in several areas. The country’s army and police force are growing stronger with our support — financially and in terms of training, making it possible for the allies to envision a gradual withdrawal of some of the combat forces in Afghanistan.", "Our military and training efforts are starting to bear fruit, at the cost, however, of very arduous combat. Military gains will be short-lived if they do not take place in a context that reinforces the legitimacy of the Afghan authorities and that makes it possible to envisage a political solution to the conflict. Unfortunately, the court-created uncertainty that affects the legislative powers is detrimental to the proper functioning of democratic institutions and is distracting them from the real concerns of the Afghan voters. We call on all Afghan institutions to work in the context of their respective competencies, as set out in the Constitution and on the basis of the principle of the separation of powers. The Special Representative of the Secretary-General must continue to monitor the situation and electoral reform, which the country needs.", "We have, however, also noted the progress made on the path to inter-Afghan reconciliation. We continue to support the efforts of President Karzai and the High Peace Council to develop a peace process involving all segments of Afghan society. Such a process must be supported by regional efforts that take into account the security interests of Afghanistan’s neighbours while respecting its sovereignty. The United Nations can from that point of view play a useful role.", "By separating the sanctions regime of the United Nations for Al-Qaida and the Taliban, the Security Council took a very significant decision which, we hope, will motivate the Afghan people to turn their backs on international terrorism, undertake direct dialogue and look to the future together.", "France would like to conclude by reaffirming its full support for the efforts of Special Representative of the Secretary-General Staffan de Mistura. The Security Council, through its resolution 1974 (2011), renewed the mandate of UNAMA and confirmed that the priorities it outlined two years ago were the right ones. The Council also requested that a full review of the activities of UNAMA and of the United Nations in Afghanistan be carried out by the end of 2011. This will represent an opportunity to reflect on the evolution of the commitment of the United Nations in that country. The review must take place in a context of full transparency, working with the Afghan authorities. That process, the second Bonn Conference and the renewal of UNAMA’s mandate in 2012 all represent opportunities to reiterate our commitment to the common goal of a democratic, independent and prosperous Afghanistan that has definitively turned its back on violence and instability.", "The President: I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Germany.", "Let me join others in warmly welcoming and thanking the Special Representative for his briefing today. We equally thank Ambassador Tanin for his statement.", "My Government aligns itself with the statement to be made later by the European Union (EU).", "I will touch upon three issues today.", "First, with respect to transition, Germany welcomes the fact that the process of security transition is progressing, in line with the improved quality and quantity of the Afghan security forces. My delegation welcomes in particular the beginning of a security transition in the first tranche of seven districts and municipalities to Afghan security responsibility this month.", "It is important to underline that, as per the agreement between NATO and the Afghan Government, the transition period will continue to be gradual and condition-based. The number of security incidents in recent months illustrates clearly the magnitude of the challenges still ahead of us. We believe, however, that the strategy and need for timeliness agreed between Afghanistan and the international community will continue to serve us well, and we intend to stay the course.", "Germany condemns the ongoing violence, and particularly, in the strongest terms, the latest attack on a hospital in Logar. We note with continued serious concern a further increase in civilian casualties, up to 90 per cent of which are now caused by insurgents. We commend the professional reaction by the Afghan security forces during last week’s heinous attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul.", "Here in the Council, I would like to stress in particular the security of the United Nations. Like everyone here today, Germany greatly appreciates the work of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and of other colleagues of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) under most challenging circumstances. But as we expect UNAMA to continue with its indispensable work, we have a shared responsibility to do everything we can to protect United Nations staff and operations. Mazar-e-Sharif was another shocking experience for the United Nations community, and we extend our condolences to all the families of the victims. Germany calls for maximum efforts, including by the Afghan Government, to protect international support operations in Afghanistan.", "Secondly, with regard to the Kabul process, the transition agenda described in the process will, over time, also change the nature of international support. However, it is the strong expectation of the international community that United Nations resources and expertise are made use of to preserve the progress achieved and to build a sustainable partnership with a viable State based on Afghan leadership, democratic principles and respect for human rights and reliable governmental and non-governmental institutions, founded on a firm constitutional basis.", "One of the determining factors for the success of the Kabul process is a solution to the Kabul Bank crisis. There is no substitute for credible financial institutions. Germany concurs with the report’s assertion that the absence of an International Monetary Fund programme seriously endangers the Kabul process and the ability to increasingly channel development support through the Government budget.", "Thirdly, let me briefly touch upon preparations for the international conference on Afghanistan to be held in Bonn in December, which some members have mentioned and which Germany looks forward to hosting upon the request of the Afghan Government. On the whole, the conference is about shifting more weight onto the long-term and political components within our common Afghanistan strategy. As was decided by President Karzai, the three main aims of the conference to be chaired by Afghanistan are to further define the civilian aspects of the transition process until 2014, to strongly confirm and define long-term international support for Afghanistan beyond 2014, and to contribute to the political process of reconciliation, including its regional dimension. We expect that the Bonn conference will be an important milestone on the way to a stable Afghanistan at peace with itself and its neighbours.", "In that context, Germany considers the recent split of the sanctions regime under resolution 1267 (1999) into separate Al-Qaida and Taliban regimes as an important stepping stone.", "Let me end by reiterating continued and long-term German support to our Afghan friends and by underlining our appreciation for UNAMA’s role and the wider support of the United Nations. Germany considers UNAMA and the United Nations system as co-partners in a successful transition in the interest of all Afghans.", "I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council.", "I now give the floor to the representative of Japan.", "Mr. Nishida (Japan): I would like to thank Special Representative De Mistura for his very comprehensive and informative briefing. I would also like to express my gratitude to all the men and women of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) who have demonstrated a deep commitment to fulfilling this very difficult mission. I also thank Ambassador Tanin for his statement.", "At the outset, I would like to express my deep regret over the 1 April attack on UNAMA in Mazar-e-Sharif. I offer my deepest condolences to the families of the United Nations personnel who died in that attack.", "As Special Representative De Mistura stated at the last Council debate on this topic in March (see S/PV.6497), 2011 is a crucial year. It is a year of transition, leading up to 2014. Japan is determined to continue to cooperate with UNAMA during this very important year and beyond.", "As stated in the recent report of the Secretary-General (S/2011/381), the security situation in Afghanistan continues to be challenging. We are concerned about the security risks that were highlighted by the recent attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul. I express my deep condolences for the deceased. Security remains a priority that we must tackle.", "Japan supports President Obama’s announcement regarding United States policy on Afghanistan. The transition is scheduled to start in seven areas this month. It is indispensable for peace and security in Afghanistan to conduct a smooth transition during the drawdown of United States and other international forces.", "The transition and sustainable security are interlinked with the country’s political process and development. In that context, Japan continues to play its role in strengthening the Afghan National Security Forces through assistance to the Afghan police, such as through our continued funding of police salaries and efforts undertaken to enhance administrative capacity in both central and provincial Governments. Japan recently decided to support the Literacy for Empowering Afghan Police programme and will start to train Afghan National Police in cooperation with Turkey this month.", "There remain other concerns. The situation regarding the Kabul Bank is a serious issue that affects international donors that are providing funds and the framework of international assistance as a whole. The disqualification by the Special Court of parliamentarians elected last year, and previously confirmed by the Independent Election Commission, has resulted in tensions between Parliament and the Court that may seriously affect the stability and reconstruction of Afghanistan. This development comes at a critical time for maintaining solidarity in the country. We sincerely hope that the Afghan Government, Parliament and courts will act within their respective competences and address these issues properly and expeditiously.", "We welcomed the successful Review Conference of the Afghanistan Peace and Reintegration Programme, held in Kabul on 10 and 11 May. Further progress in the reintegration process constitutes an important pillar of the political process. We highly appreciate the significant roles played in this process by UNAMA and the countries concerned. Japan is determined to continue to contribute, as evidenced by our $50 million contribution to the reintegration fund for achieving irreversible progress in the Afghan-led Reintegration Programme.", "In that context, the recent adoption of Security Council resolutions splitting the Al-Qaida and Taliban sanctions list was a positive step towards promoting reconciliation in the country. Further progress in the political process requires Afghan ownership with continued support of the international community.", "For long-term stability in Afghanistan, we have to accelerate regional cooperation among the country’s neighbours. Japan is ready to play an active role in the economic development of the broader area, which can enable surrounding neighbours to pave the way for integrating Afghanistan into the regional and global economy.", "Despite having been affected by the March earthquake, Japan is determined to implement our assistance to Afghanistan which, in view of the importance of Afghanistan, we committed to in November 2009. While the drawdown of the military presence will soon begin, long-term engagement with Afghanistan is still very important. I would like to stress once again that coordination between responsible Afghan ownership and support from the international community are now more necessary than ever in order to realize a sustainable economy. This should be based on a mid- to long-term perspective so that, after the full transition to Afghan leadership beyond 2014, Afghanistan can become self-reliant for its economic development.", "I believe that there is a solid commitment by the international community for the reconstruction of Afghanistan. We expect further progress during the Afghanistan conference in Bonn in December. On the Afghan side, the country needs to strengthen its capacity for achieving real Afghan ownership and leadership. A comprehensive review of the UNAMA mandate and of United Nations support in Afghanistan, which is requested in resolution 1974 (2011), will be a very important task for the United Nations in steering the future course of Afghanistan. UNAMA continues to play an important role and Japan continues to do its utmost to contribute to its activities.", "In conclusion, we would like to express our sincere appreciation for the dedication of Special Representative De Mistura and to reiterate our commitment to support the efforts of UNAMA.", "The President: I now give the floor to the representative of Canada.", "Mr. Rivard (Canada): Afghanistan is entering into a pivotal period, and it is likely that its long-term transformation into a secure and stable democracy will be greatly influenced by events and decisions made in the near term.", "An improved security situation remains paramount to our efforts in Afghanistan. While counter-insurgency efforts have been successful in reversing insurgent momentum in southern Afghanistan, violence is increasing in areas that were previously considered secure. Security will need to improve significantly in order to provide the space needed for Afghanistan to grow and develop.", "All civilian deaths resulting from the violence are tragic, and we take every step possible to avoid civilian casualties due to the operations of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). However, the overwhelming majority of those deaths are caused by the insurgency. Indeed, civilians are often the primary targets of insurgents. That was tragically illustrated in the recent attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul and the recent use by insurgents of an 8-year-old girl as a suicide bomber. We condemn these tactics of desperation, which contravene international law, and we demand that they cease.", "The Government of Afghanistan and ISAF have recently begun the process of transitioning lead security responsibility from the international community to Afghan authorities. Canada, through the NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan, is committed to increasing the number and improving the quality of personnel of the Afghan National Security Forces, who will be crucial to maintaining peace in the country. To that end, Canada will provide up to 950 Canadian Forces personnel and up to 45 civilian police from 2011 to 2014 to help train the National Security Forces. We may be drawing down in Kandahar, but we remain committed to supporting Afghanistan.", "(spoke in French)", "Stability and security in Afghanistan cannot be achieved by military means alone. There is a need for a process of political reconciliation between the Government of Afghanistan and the insurgency. For lasting reconciliation to be possible, it will be necessary for insurgents to renounce violence, sever ties with Al-Qaida and recognize the Afghan Constitution. While we agree that the time for peace talks is now, there are Afghans who are genuinely afraid that the gains made over the past 10 years in democratization, human rights and the delivery of basic services could be lost. The ongoing discussions must be cognizant of this concern and ensure that peace will benefit all Afghan citizens.", "Canada shares the view of many Afghans and members of the international community that, over the longer term, lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan will require an inclusive healing process. This must involve all parts of Afghan society, including Afghan women, in long-term efforts that seek to rebuild relationships and resolve historical grievances that, if left unaddressed, could undermine durable peace in Afghanistan.", "Canada, alongside our international partners, is working closely with the Government of Afghanistan to ensure that the civilian aspects of transition — strengthening governance and development — are coordinated in such a way as to support the success and irreversibility of the overall transition. Successful transition will depend on concerted effort and the serious political commitment of Afghanistan’s leadership to ensure effective, inclusive and accountable governance.", "Afghan Government capacity to provide services and opportunities to ordinary Afghans must continue to be built and nurtured. In that respect, the Afghan Government-led Kabul process and the national priority programmes continue to be important tools for both the Afghan Government and the international community. Now, we must facilitate implementation of the national priority programmes, linking them to the security transition and ensuring that they provide tangible benefits in areas such as access to health care and education for ordinary Afghans. It will now be important for the programmes to be fiscally sustainable and realistic. In that regard, the international community will need to help Afghanistan increase its capacity to generate revenue during this period. The private sector will also have an important role to play in the country’s development.", "It is also crucial that Afghans be able to trust their elected officials to represent their interests at the district, provincial and national levels. Corruption erodes confidence in democratic institutions and undermines efforts to stabilize the country. It remains a serious issue and could be a major obstacle to successful transition in the coming years. The Afghan Government must therefore take concrete and visible actions to combat corruption and prevent it from derailing the transition agenda.", "(spoke in English)", "Countries of the region also have a significant role in Afghanistan’s success or failure, as well as in the overall stability of South and Central Asia. It is crucial for Afghanistan and its neighbours to overcome the deep-seated historical distrust and conflicting interests that are often at odds with regional stability and economic logic. Political differences continue to block progress on what could be win-win initiatives on the economic front, which could contribute enormously to lasting stability and prosperity in the region.", "We look forward to the Afghan-led Afghanistan conference in Bonn in December, which will focus on issues of importance to the transition process. There are several such conferences on Afghanistan scheduled for 2011 and, while it is of absolute importance that we continue to have an open and candid dialogue, we need to muster real political will to see tangible progress.", "In the past 10 years, significant, quantifiable progress has been made in Afghanistan in key areas. We are all focused on the same goal — the transition of responsibility for security, governance and development to the Government of Afghanistan. The Afghan Government and the international community are united in their determination to meet this objective, and Canada will continue to play its active role.", "The President: I now give the floor to the representative of Pakistan.", "Mr. Haroon (Pakistan): We would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the Council’s presidency for the month of July, as well as to thank you for convening today’s debate.", "I would like to especially mention with appreciation the briefing by Special Representative of the Secretary-General Staffan de Mistura. Pakistan always values the work of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), which is ably led by Special Representative De Mistura. I hope that the rumours of his not continuing in his post are not true.", "The Secretary-General’s quarterly reports are an important barometer of political and security developments in Afghanistan. I would like to emphasize that they provide useful indicators to gauge the progress and setbacks in our collective efforts for peace in Afghanistan.", "First, the period under review marks the beginning of implementation of the transition towards greater Afghan leadership and ownership, as envisaged in the Kabul Process. This is a point that Pakistan drives home in every meeting held in the Security Council. Secondly, it coincides with the start of the comprehensive review of UNAMA’s mandate as set out in resolution 1974 (2011). We believe that UNAMA’s priorities in this period should continue to be defined along the lines of facilitating national reconciliation, supporting governance and promoting socio-economic development in Afghanistan, which is perhaps the least so far to show an upward incline in its graph.", "With regard to the ongoing comprehensive review of the UNAMA mandate, which is to be completed in 2011, I must emphasize that Afghan ownership and respect for the sovereignty of Afghanistan in all areas must be ensured. Greater harmonization of UNAMA’s work with the goals of transition as well as coordination within United Nations bodies have to be essential ingredients of the new mandate.", "Is Afghanistan heating up as we come closer to hypothetical withdrawal dates? Well, I would like to reiterate that the Secretary-General’s report has documented a 51 per cent increase in security-related incidents in Afghanistan during the reporting period. The report rightly expresses concern at the human cost of the conflict, characterized by a steady rise in civilian casualties resulting not only from the insurgency but also from military operations.", "Allow me to concede that the security challenges in Afghanistan are complicated by three decades of war, the capacity of Afghan security forces, the presence of foreign forces and the exploitation of socio-political complexity by criminals and drug traffickers. The problem of security in Afghanistan does not lend itself to near-facile explanations exemplified by externalization and a self-defeating blame game.", "Violence and instability in both Afghanistan and Pakistan are a threat. We are therefore extending all possible cooperation to Afghanistan in the areas of security and intelligence. A viable mechanism for such cooperation is the Tripartite Commission, which meets regularly and includes the United States and the International Security Assistance Force.", "The number of our military and paramilitary personnel deployed along the border with Afghanistan is greater than that of all international troops present inside the whole of Afghanistan. Pakistan’s commitment to peace in Afghanistan is unwavering. The cause of regional and international peace will not be served if Afghanistan becomes a theatre of proxy wars or if its land is used for extraterritorial subversive activity.", "A long-term solution to security challenges in Afghanistan lies in workable reconciliation and reintegration processes. An Afghanistan at peace with itself can best ensure its own security. The Secretary-General’s reports and the briefings by his Special Representative have rightly pointed out the linkages between reconciliation and security.", "Pakistan supports an Afghan-led and inclusive reconciliation process, with a view to bringing the opposition groups into the political mainstream. We believe that the engagement of the Organization of the Islamic Conference and UNAMA with the reconciliation process is going to be helpful.", "We emphasize the need to ensure that the newly created Afghanistan-specific Sanctions Committee contributes effectively to curbing the insurgency and promoting reconciliation in Afghanistan. This must be seen to happen. We hope that UNAMA’s cooperation with the Security Council Sanctions Committee on Afghanistan will go a long way towards adding professional and political input for listing and de‑listing.", "Pakistan will continue to assist the Afghan-led reconciliation process, including through the Afghanistan-Pakistan Joint Commission for Reconciliation and Peace in Afghanistan. The first meeting of the Joint Commission was held in Islamabad last month, on the eve of the visit of President Hamid Karzai. Both our countries have affirmed the resolve to work closely for lasting reconciliation and peace in Afghanistan. As a follow-up to the Islamabad meeting, the first working-level meeting of the Joint Commission was held last week in Kabul. It has been decided to set up specialized working groups to move forward in a responsible and sure-footed manner. Make no mistake, this process is very active and shall produce beneficial results.", "Our quest for peace and stability in Afghanistan is dovetailing into a long-term cooperative partnership. Today’s Washington Post headlines of hundreds of militants crossing over from Afghanistan to attack a Pakistani border village, with some killed, will not deter us from this process. My advice to my friend is that all peace processes normally come to the point where this sort of activity takes place through militants who would like to prove the peace process to be otherwise. We will not succumb to it.", "Despite the utmost efforts of those militants crossing over to create havoc and derail the process, let me reaffirm that we will not let that happen. The Islamabad declaration signed during the visit of President Karzai to Pakistan last month documents the contours of this partnership in the areas of trade and the economy, transport connectivity, and project cooperation in infrastructure, energy and minerals, as well as in enhancing parliamentary exchange and people-to-people contact. International assistance in these areas, especially corporate-sector engagement, can catalyse rich dividends for peace and prosperity in the region.", "The Secretary-General’s report has noted that just over 19,000 refugees returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan in the past three months. This figure can hardly be called encouraging. We need greater attention on this issue. But of course, no matter what happens, we are hosts to the largest refugee population in the world.", "I would like to conclude by reiterating our support for the objectives and efforts of UNAMA, especially those of Special Representative of the Secretary-General De Mistura. We are confident that the redoubtable people of Afghanistan will overcome all pressing challenges and seize new opportunities for a brighter and prosperous future. Pakistan shall remain their committed and steadfast partner.", "The President: I now give the floor to Mr. Pedro Serrano.", "Mr. Serrano: I would like to thank you very much, Mr. President, for giving me the floor to speak on behalf of the European Union (EU).", "The candidate countries Turkey, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Iceland, the countries of the Stabilization and Association Process and potential candidates Albania, Serbia and the European Free Trade Association country Norway, member of the European Economic Area, as well as the Republic of Moldova and Georgia, align themselves with this declaration.", "I would like to thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Staffan de Mistura for his briefing and the Secretary-General for his comprehensive report (S/2011/381) on the situation in Afghanistan and its implications for international peace and security. Our thanks also go to Ambassador Tanin for his presentation.", "This month of July marks the start of the transition to an Afghan security lead. The European Union welcomes the impending handover of security responsibility from the International Security Assistance Force to Afghan forces in seven areas of the country. In that context, we are encouraged by the Secretary-General’s assessment that the performance of these forces has improved as a result of focused training and capacity-building efforts. At the same time, we can read that insecurity is on the rise, which is an indication that the insurgency remains resilient, making transition harder. The statistic of a 51 per cent increase in security-related incidents over the same period in 2010 underscores just how much harder. That is why it is important to recall that the transition process does not signify withdrawal, but a gradual shift to a genuine supporting role, and is not calendar-driven but conditions-based. By carefully managing the transition, we are slowly but surely fulfilling the wish of the Afghan people to take responsibility for their own security.", "Creating the conditions for a successful transition throughout the country requires further progress towards good governance and development and on the political track. The stakes for better governance are high, and measures such as improving transparency of and oversight over public finances and fighting corruption therefore deserve high priority.", "On the one hand, the European Union welcomes positive steps, such as the launch of the joint independent anti-corruption Monitoring and Evaluation Committee. On the other, we notice that, out of all the national priority programmes of the Kabul process, the ones dealing with public administration and subnational governance were among the least advanced. This is especially unfortunate, since for several reasons, these programmes are also among the most important.", "As the Secretary-General remarks, in a post-transition Afghanistan, with donors working more through the central Government, less development funding will flow directly to local authorities. Without a stronger and more reliable connection to the centre and without better subnational governance, there is a risk that these provinces and districts will be starved for aid.", "A more immediate impediment in the area of governance to the disbursement and distribution of development funding is the continuing lack of an agreement with the International Monetary Fund on the consequences of the Kabul Bank collapse. If Afghanistan is to take full responsibility for its own development and if more development funds are to be channelled through Afghan institutions — which President Karzai has called an integral part of the transition — then this bank crisis needs to be resolved. This is an issue of great concern for the European Union and its member States, which are jointly spending more than €1 billion a year in Afghanistan.", "Resolving the Kabul Bank crisis and, more generally, implementing governance and other commitments of the Kabul process, such as the modernization of the justice sector and electoral reform, require resolving the controversy between the Afghan executive branch and Parliament. The European Union calls for this to be done in a way that is both quick and consistent with the separation of powers.", "Further steps towards more effective and legitimate Government institutions are vital not only to development cooperation, but also to progress on the political track. Better governance would help convince all Afghans that settling differences by force should no longer be an option in the future and that the political arena should be the only place to fight.", "In this context, the European Union welcomes the recent decision of the Security Council to split the Al‑Qaida and Taliban sanctions regimes — a decision sure to boost reconciliation and reintegration efforts. On the ground, these Afghan-led efforts benefit from the support of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), which continues to promote confidence-building measures through advocacy on access to basic services, detainee release and the protection of civilians. Civilians, as the report confirms, still bear the brunt of the conflict, with 80 to 90 per cent of the civilian casualties linked to anti‑Government elements.", "Reconciliation should not only be Afghan-led, but should also never stray from its fundamental principles: the rejection of Al-Qaida, renunciation of violence and respect for the Constitution. Securing peace at the cost of international law and inalienable human rights, including women’s rights and the rights of religious minorities, would lead to a pyrrhic victory. This does not amount to some utopian ambition to make Afghanistan a perfect place; it simply amounts to upholding the values that this world body and the European Union were founded on.", "At our most recent debate on this item (S/PV.6497), when its mandate was on the agenda, we spoke extensively about UNAMA. That is why today I will limit myself, in conclusion, to once again expressing the European Union’s support for its crucial role during the transition, including as co-chair of the Joint Coordination and Monitoring Board, a body in need of further strengthening.", "We commend Staffan de Mistura and his staff for their commitment and courage, and condemn in the strongest terms attacks perpetrated against UNAMA. The United Nations is doing important work in Afghanistan for all Afghans, and we strongly support its continued engagement there in the short and long terms. We count on UNAMA in the new phase ahead — a phase of great opportunity and also great peril. Nevertheless, as they say in Afghanistan — and I hope this is accurate — there is a path to the top of even the highest mountain.", "The President: I give the floor to the representative of Turkey.", "Mr. Çorman (Turkey): Let me begin by warmly greeting Ambassador Tanin and Special Representative of the Secretary-General De Mistura. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his report (S/2011/381) and his Special Representative for his insightful briefing.", "We are grateful for the dedicated and outstanding work that the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) is carrying out in fulfilment of its mandate, under the effective leadership of Special Representative De Mistura, in the face of very real and serious threats, as evidenced most recently by the attack against the UNAMA compound in Mazar-e-Sharif on 1 April. We strongly condemn and deplore this heinous attack, and extend once again our condolences to the bereaved families of those who lost their lives, as well as to the UNAMA personnel and the entire United Nations family.", "We also condemn the recent spate of attacks by insurgents against Afghan targets, which have resulted in an increased loss of innocent civilian lives. These attacks cannot be tolerated, and they will not deter the Afghans and the international community from the pursuit of a peaceful, secure and democratic Afghanistan.", "Afghanistan is going through an historic period of transformation. Afghanistan’s neighbours and other relevant actors in the region and beyond should respect Afghanistan’s sovereignty and continue making their multidimensional contributions towards solidifying it. The transition of security responsibilities, the peace process and economic development are all at the core of efforts towards realizing the ultimate goal of full Afghan ownership. If one of these processes fails, the overall body of work will also falter.", "Afghan leadership of all processes related to Afghanistan is a fundamental principle. Security is a primary enabler that would facilitate development, governance, the rule of law and institutional capacity-building. In the past six months, military operations have reached unprecedented levels, yet lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan can be founded only on a political solution. Therefore, the necessary time and space must be given to the Afghan peace process when windows of opportunity for reconciliation arise.", "The prospects for peace in Afghanistan are stronger than ever, and let me underscore that the durability of peace in Afghanistan requires that it encompass all segments of society, because enhanced national unity is the single most important basis upon which lasting peace and stability would take hold. While the training of the Afghan National Security Forces is essential to fulfilling the transition by the end of 2014, civilian capacity-building and economic sustainability will be just as important post-2014. We urge all donors to intensify their contributions to civilian capacity development and economic viability.", "A benign regional order is an indispensable pillar of Afghan peace, sovereignty, development and prosperity. In turn, Afghanistan’s peace, sovereignty and prosperity would constitute indispensable pillars of the peace and prosperity of its neighbourhood. In this regard, we will continue to pursue efforts in support of the regional dimension discussed at the regional countries’ meeting, hosted by His Excellency Ahmet Davutoğlu, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Turkey, in Istanbul on 10 May, which is referenced in the Secretary-General’s report.", "The preparations for the Istanbul Conference on Afghanistan, to be held in Istanbul on 2 November 2011, have been launched. The meetings of the International Contact Group’s regional cooperation working group, held respectively in Istanbul and Kabul on 3 and 26 June under the co-chairmanship of Turkey and UNAMA, have been useful in eliciting broad support in the region and beyond for the upcoming Istanbul Conference.", "A set of commonalities are already emerging. The 2002 Kabul Declaration on Good-neighbourly Relations (S/2002/1416) was a groundbreaking document. The 2007 Istanbul Statement on Friendship and Cooperation in the “Heart of Asia” (S/2010/70, annex) went even beyond the Kabul Declaration by setting up a common regional vision, and constituted a welcome milestone.", "But since Istanbul last year, the regional work, as well as circumstances and requirements, have moved on significantly, and we hope that all of this will be put on paper in a format that will then be undersigned by the Istanbul Conference participants. We know that this is what Afghanistan wants from the regional meetings.", "We therefore intend the Istanbul Conference to be a turning point in the regional dimension.", "As always, we look forward to the strong support of the international community, the importance of which has already been emphasized in the Secretary-General’s report. We will be working closely with Afghanistan, the United Nations and all other relevant countries and organizations in the run-up to the Istanbul Conference on Afghanistan, which is slated to be one of the top international events of this year.", "The President: I give the floor to Special Representative De Mistura to respond to the comments that have been made.", "Mr. De Mistura: I have three brief points. First, I thank Council members for all their comments. We have taken due note of the comments, advice and support offered by each member of the Security Council and beyond.", "Secondly, on behalf of all my 900-plus colleagues, I also wish to thank all participants for their very kind and warm words regarding the sacrifice that my colleagues are making and the sad events that took place in Mazar-e-Sharif. It does help.", "Lastly, I believe that Ambassador Tanin and I will bring back to Kabul a strong message of support and of the consistent interest and engagement of the international community in Afghanistan. I think that that will help us during the difficult months ahead leading up the Istanbul Conference and Bonn.", "The President: The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.", "The meeting rose at 1.15 p.m." ]

Sister 381", "The President: In accordance with rule 37 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representatives of Afghanistan, Canada, Japan, Pakistan and Turkey to participate in this meeting.", "In accordance with rule 39 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite Mr. Staffan de Mistura, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, to participate in this meeting.", "In accordance with rule 39 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite His Excellency Mr. Pedro Sulano, Officer-in-Chief of the European Union Mission in the United Nations to participate in this meeting.", "The Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda.", "I draw the attention of Council members to document Sole381, which contains the report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Afghanistan and its implications for international peace and security.", "I now give the floor to Mr. De Mistura.", "Mr. De Mistura: I last briefed the Security Council (see S/PV.6497), and as the Council knows, I insist on Ambassador Tanin to speak before, thereby demonstrating the importance and respect for the recognition of the growing needs of Afghanistan as a sovereign State. At that time, however, Ambassador Tanin insisted that I recur in accordance with the rules in order to demonstrate Afghanistan's interest in complying with international rules. I will therefore take the floor first on the basis of his request, in accordance with past practice.", "We meet today at a special crossroads. In July 2011, it was a special month since the decision to start the transition had been taken. The transition has been announced, but it will be based on a decision to be taken by the international community at a meeting to be held with the Afghan authorities, which will begin in mid-July. Also in July, we will begin to see the gradual implementation of the international forces announced in President Obama's speech, in particular the United States forces' decision to move forward. In other words, we are now at the crossroads of the sovereignty of States and their corresponding obligations and continuing conflicts and inclusive political dialogue.", "First, with regard to transition, it is better to move forward. Based on the signs I understand, and as we have seen at the Kabul Transition Conference, the transition has been on track. Of course, the transition will involve seven regions and provinces. As we have done, we will identify the details of the heinous. However, the transition process has been on track.", "We are now dealing with, and at a meeting before me, we recognize a question that we should address further, involving that transition cannot and should not be merely a security fact. It should be more inclusive and must be a transition that the Afghan people can understand and agree. That is why we are now working together to ensure that the results of social, economic and human rights are linked to the transition. In this sense, while the transition is as irreversible as the Swiss fire, we need to ensure that the socio-economic aspects of the transition are equally solid and irreversible.", "In this regard, it has been discussed in the past few days that there may be a future scenario that we can link a number of transition-related projects that may be implemented to a “transport dividend”. In other words, there is no doubt that the military side will have savings. Some of these resources can be used to ensure that the Afghan local authorities and the people of the transition areas feel sustained interest and substantive support for their development. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) will play a role in this regard, in particular in promoting transition, in accordance with its clear mandate.", "I would like to turn to the second point, which is usually the first, security. As the Council knows, and in this regard, the recent security situation is of concern. But we must see this issue in a comprehensive manner. The Lord knows that I must be careful and that there is a tragedy that occurred just on 1 April. Intercontinent hotels were attacked. Many of us live in this hotel and know its symbolic significance. This is alarming. In the city, military hospitals and even the Ministry of Defence were attacked. Kandahar was attacked for two consecutive days and was attacked by the Italian Provincial Reconstruction Team in Herat.", "But let us fully understand this issue. All these attacks were effectively addressed by the Afghan army and the police, despite the sometimes confusing process, since all were learning training. Even in the intercontinental hotels, it was to a certain extent that the attack was concluded with the support of the International Security Assistance Force helicopters. However, the Afghan forces remain on the first line.", "I think this is important because there has been a better understanding of the security situation. The situation in Afghanistan has been reversive. However, the anti-Government forces continue to attempt to reverse this perception by sending signals of drama, surgical attacks, such as in the “Cace” they call, and summer. But I must point out that so far the first impression still prevails. Afghans have been able to manage the situation. This does not mean that, in the coming weeks or months, the security situation will not come at a moment of serious difficulty, as the summer has not ended.", "It is therefore important to first address the issue of civilian casualties, which affects the people of Afghanistan; secondly, it is actually entering another stage, namely, seeking a political solution, as the Secretary of State Hilari Clinton and President Obama have recently stated, as President Karzai has repeatedly said. It was acknowledged that military solutions to the problems of Afghanistan cannot be imagined. We now need more effective political solutions.", "This means achieving reconciliation. What is happening? It can be seen that a large number of contacts have been made. Unfortunately, there is also a lack of information from the media, which does not facilitate access. But there is a clear need for dialogue, and we have shown that dialogue will soon be resumed in a more concrete manner.", "At the same time, the United Nations is doing its part in close coordination with the Afghan authorities and international stakeholders. We focus only on the tasks mandated by our mandate and what we may have added value, namely, confidence-building measures. Confidence-building measures are important because they can pave the way for substantive discussions, and substantive discussions can only be conducted by Afghans and Afghans. They must implement our consistent advocacy to ensure that all of them are dominated by Afghans.", "However, confidence-building measures are indeed important, particularly at this stage. They include, for example, addressing the issue of civilian casualties and giving the Taliban an opportunity, if they do want to participate, making them in fact, not in expressions of their right to participate, reducing their enormous negative impact on civilians, particularly in the recent period.", "Secondly, I know that this is the judgement of my individual, but it is based on the awareness of many people in Kabul that the Council takes a courageous decision to split the list of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) into two, distinguishing the Al-Qaida and the Taliban, and that it is clear that we can continue to promote reconciliation. One example is that the High-level Peace Commission is the supreme authority, and we will discuss it substantively, but some of the members of the High-level Peace Committee remain on the list. When we provide them with logistical or substantive assistance as United Nations or UNAMA, we seek to escort them or persuade them to ensure that they are held, this problem is difficult to address.", "One of the areas of confidence-building measures is certainly possible to establish a place to let us not call it as an institution that will allow the Taliban and stakeholders, in particular Afghan partners, to meet in a sense of insecurity and to have a careful climate. It is not enough, but one of the areas of effort.", "Let me add another area that has been raised in the past few weeks. It covers education. After the fall of the Taliban, if there is one area to improve the international community and the Afghan authorities, it is education. Afghanistan now stands at 7 million children, many of whom are girls. During the Taliban's ruling, we have constantly seen the tragic decision on the issue of girls who have reached schools. There are some indications that they appear to send such information for the first time — even through the Internet — that they may have learned from this error. We hope that this is not only a tactic decision, but it is true that they are reluctant to attack schools.", "There are also some anti-faceted signs. Some teachers have recently been affected, but, in general, our own studies have shown that some 400 new schools in some areas where the Taliban has a clear impact have declined significantly. The Minister of Wardak reminds me of this. We will continue to study this situation together with UNICEF. If this is a trend, we will see as a confidence-building measure. However, this is yet to be verified.", "There is a problem, and I believe that we must mention when we discuss reconciliation. This is reintegration. The institutional architecture is in place, and all members of the Council have made a great contribution to ensuring that this work is ultimately properly completed — some members have made a very significant contribution. To date, there have been some momentum and momentum. More than 1,800 people are currently involved in reintegration programmes. However, challenges remain.", "First, it is clear that strong momentum will be difficult to see before reconciliation is truly achieved. It is important, however, to be ready to attract and respond to changes that may arise. The evidence is 1,800. We have some concerns and are exploring ways to ensure full review of the personnel concerned. I have to brief the Council on a preliminary sign of the attack in Mazar-Sharif that three of the five who have brutally killed my colleagues by means of violence are former Taliban elements of reintegration. This first shows that we must be very carefully reviewed and that the review will not have a loophole before reconciliation is finally achieved.", "I would then say that reconciliation cannot be sustained forever, irrespective of whether reconciliation is achieved and if a regional perspective is not addressed. For that reason, in the past few months, we have been very satisfied with the significant increase in bilateral, trilateral and multilateral meetings, from the Shanghai Process to several meetings between Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States authorities. In addition to Pakistan and Afghanistan, Iran participated in these meetings. We therefore hope and believe that the Istanbul Conference, held on 2 November, will be a good opportunity to address this issue.", "As Council members know, there is currently an international contact group. It is an informal organization, but its influence is constantly increasing. We have held a very good and constructive meeting in Kabul. The Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ruden, in addition to addressing other key issues related to the transition, also presented a plan for support. The initiative will determine whether we can reach a certain level of understanding on stabilization in Istanbul, based on the earlier Balkan model or the Helsinki process model. In other words, it will seek to arrive at a written document that will enable the parties to be mindful of the strengthening of mutual stability.", "Of course, it would be more meaningful if there was also a financial trust fund to support the mechanism and to take incentives at the regional level. All of this could be discussed at the time of the Istanbul Conference, but we would certainly cooperate with all participants from Afghanistan and Turkey, the region and beyond, and to do certain work in that regard.", "There is no doubt that there are a number of shadows on regional understandings, such as the current situation in Afghanistan and Pakistani borders. This should not be unfolded and, frankly, should be discussed by Afghans and Pakistanans. They have recently held constructive and useful meetings in Islamabad and Afghanistan, and they will never be neighbours. We will only stay for a period of time, but they will never be there. That is why we look at these events in a sense of concern and hope that such bilateral discussions will be right.", "Another issue is important for the regional environment, which is that the nature of strategic alliances or understandings between the Afghan authorities and, in particular, the United States remains vague. Some countries were very concerned that foreign countries would establish large permanent bases in Afghanistan. We have been trying to reassure all, and indeed it is not so true that the Afghan authorities should describe the real nature of any strategic agreement that may be reached, so that neighbouring countries feel comfortable. As I have gone to the region, I know that we believe it would be better to address this issue before the Istanbul Conference. We hope that this will be possible. The United States authorities — even the top leadership of the five-stage building — have issued statements that attempt to reassure people in this regard, which is very correct, but that some additional work may help to overcome this misconceptions.", "I would therefore like to turn to another issue — the issue of counter-narcotics. In the context of a possible gradual transformation of the international community's focus on Afghanistan, concern was expressed that the so-called economic environment would change. This has proved. The downsizing of the army will also diminish the effectiveness of all efforts that have financial links with a strong military presence. My colleagues in the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime are of particular concern that I would like to draw the Council's attention to this point, which will be strengthened when the drug economy is attractive to certain Afghans. It is therefore important that we must not forget that. As Council members know, this issue will have a substantive impact not only on Afghanistan but also on its neighbours.", "Let me therefore turn to human rights issues. If I think that what is happening, I think would allow for the United Nations to keep in mind the work carried out in Afghanistan, it is fearful that there is a strong position and that the flag must respect human rights. Thus, the issue of civilian casualties is so important and candidly say that the Taliban is very pain. They have said to us on a number of occasions that this problem has been hurting them. We have always told them that this is what can be avoided — that is not to harm civilians.", "This has also affected the engagement of the International Security Assistance Force and NATO, in particular air strikes. I know that the mistakes that have been committed are giving rise to growing attention by the United States and NATO authorities, and that the terrorist acts committed by the Taliban in many places — such as the recent attacks on banks and hospitals — have also attracted attention. We hope that this will help all people, in particular the Taliban, to understand that the support of their own people will sometimes be affected by the serious civilian casualties caused by them.", "Women's issues remain important. There are 69 women in Parliament. We expect them to defend the achievements of women in Afghanistan, but we remain concerned about reports that we have received on a number of matters of concern, such as when women leave their homes or decide not to marry, the judiciary sometimes punish them.", "This is true for children. The use of children as a human bomb occurred. There have also been attacks on children, with a serious level of attention being paid to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict.", "On the humanitarian front, I need to draw the Council's attention to one area. At this time, the welfare programme is facing resource constraints. This is one of our own bright spots programme, which seeks to show to the people of Afghanistan that we will never abandon them at all times, while in practice providing food for more than 6 million children. At this point, the programme has to significantly reduce the number of beneficiaries owing to lack of resources. I draw attention to this issue as it is an important issue for all of us.", "It is also important to recognize the existence of an institution responsible for aid coordination. It is called the Joint Coordination and Monitoring Board (CEB). The CPA is a very good body — and there is no need to create a new body. As the United Nations has been able to establish new institutions, I would not like to recommend the establishment of a new body. Conversely, it should be strengthened. CCI may also have the potential to deal with the issue of aid coordination. There is, however, a pamphet — the Kabul banking problem. I do not need to remind the Council of this, but this is, to a certain extent, an important issue that is impeding progress in the Coordinating Committee and even impeding the follow-up to the Kabul Conference.", "This issue is not vested in the Council but is the responsibility of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). IMF has been involved and spoke fairly for Minister Zakhilwal, eight of the 10 indicators requested to ensure that the international community and IMF are reasserted, but two indicators have yet to be addressed. We hope and have always given the attention of IMF to the possible consequences of the arrears of Afghanistan, and if not approved, the arrears will not happen, but this is undoubtedly a matter of concern. At the same time, banks in Kabul are a serious problem for the Afghan authorities — $800 million is not a covert figure. It is therefore a matter of serious focus.", "The Council is very familiar with the issue — the parliamentary crisis — as well. We have hoped that this will not happen six months after the election of 10 months and the solemn declaration of the inauguration of the Parliament. We would like to do so, but we would have experienced an election that was not perfect, but by Afghan institutions in the ongoing political process.", "Unfortunately, that is not the case. One Special Court stated that 61 members of Parliament might be separated. The Council knows that the current situation is tense. Our position is the position of the Security Council — 22 December. We will not change it. The second position was that, in fact, the judiciary had the right to prosecute any perpetrator, but was not competent to change the outcome of the elections and that the solution must be a political solution led by the Afghans, not a judicial solution.", "We are hopeful and will continue to work with the Afghan authorities on behalf of the Council to avoid the long-lasting crisis of this body. Afghanistan needs to be weighed; it needs to work with Parliament, the executive branch and the judiciary. At this moment, there is a swing in the air, but since I is a proponent of optimism, I anticipate that there will be no “low rain”.", "As permitted by the Council, I would say the last point of information. In any sense, this is a transitional phase. But there is also a need to ensure that Afghans have heard information that will be different from 1989 in 2014. They fear that there is also reason to fear that the third time in their recent history was abandoned by the international community. I know that this is not our intention and, of course, the United Nations or UNAMA. We will look at our foot. We will review the ways in which we must work, as the transition is ongoing. However, we will remain in the long term — if all are present and if the people of Afghanistan want us to remain in the long term. I think that, from an international perspective, we need to keep Afghans assured of that. This will help them to complete the transition during this difficult period.", "The President: I thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Staffan de Mistura, for his briefing.", "I now give the floor to the representative of Afghanistan.", "Mr. Tanin (Afghanistan): At the outset, allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of July. I would also like to express our appreciation to you for your personal role and for the important role that Germany has played in addressing Afghanistan in the Council.", "I wish to warmly welcome my good, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Staffan de Mistura, back to the Council. I thank him for his kind words and for his statement, for his comprehensive briefing, and for his presentation of the report of the Secretary-General (Smi381).", "As the world enters a post-in Laden era, the largest victims of terrorism are today at a critical juncture in seeking peace and stability. Based on the results of the NATO Lisbon summit, we have started the transition process. In the coming days, we will implement the first phase of the process in seven provinces of Afghanistan: Kabul, Prashir, Bamyan, Hrata, the city of Maghr el-Sheikh, the city of Mitrol, Lagman, and the city of Rashcarga, Hemand province.", "The transition is a heartening call on the Afghans to play a leading role in national ownership and leadership, and calls upon the Government of Afghanistan to assume its sovereign responsibility. We believe that the transition is a carefully developed comprehensive strategy, not only presupposing the gradual transfer of security responsibilities to the Afghan authorities by the end of 2014, but also presupposes the sound drawdown of international forces, the accelerated training of the Afghan army and police, the strengthening of governance, the development of a new regional agenda on multidimensional cooperation and the prospects for ensuring strategic partnerships with the United States and NATO.", "The Government of Afghanistan continues to make key efforts to ensure a smooth and viable transition process. However, there is no doubt that a number of preconditions must be met if the transition process is to succeed and sustain sustainability. First and foremost, we count on our international partners to accelerate training and equip our security forces and to provide them with the necessary success elements.", "Last month, President Obama of the United States announced the gradual withdrawal of United States forces from Afghanistan. We welcome this decision and believe that it is in line with the recent consensus reached by Afghanistan and the international community that more robust and lasting partnerships are shifted from military engagement to 2014. The announcement by President Obama first demonstrated the stability of the Afghan security forces and, secondly, the changes in the momentum of war, despite the recent intense attacks by the Taliban.", "Contrary to some interpretations, international forces have not been downsizing at the final stage or, as some have said, the international community has begun to disengage with Afghanistan. Over the past 10 years, in order to achieve our common goals and to achieve lasting peace and security in our country and in the region, we have taken a lot of han water and blood and have made many sacrifices.", "The recent so-called “flight attacks” campaign, such as the last week's attack on the intercontiner hotels in Kabul and the killing of 12 civilians in a hospital in Logara province, is clearly an attempt by the Afghan enemy to galvanize fear, deter international support for Afghanistan and convince some countries that war is a win-win one.", "In addition, the recent movement sought to undermine the future of peace talks and to diminish the prospects for reconciliation. Those who provide financial, arms and strategic guidance to terrorists and extremists have equal responsibility for the ongoing killing and maiming of innocent civilians in Afghanistan. It is therefore urgent to stress the need to eradicate the shelters that continue to manufacture and nurture, and desist from the destruction of Afghans.", "However, terrorist acts do not slacken our resolve to ensure peace and stability in Afghanistan. We are pleased that there is an environment conducive to constructive engagement and dialogue with members of the armed opposition. We will move the reconciliation process forward as a priority, in line with the lack of a purely military solution and the need for an inclusive solution. Reconciliation is aimed at bringing peace, prosperity and solidarity to the country. Reconciliation is not to give up control over any territory or to any representative other than the authority of the Government of Afghanistan. The High-level Peace Commission is engaging with the Taliban and other key actors in the region in order to end violence and achieve lasting peace. This is an effort involving all sectors of society, including women.", "Moreover, we are beginning to focus on the regional level of the reconciliation process. We underline once again the important role of Pakistan in peace and reconciliation, and in that regard, we stress the importance of constructive collaboration between our two countries. We must take the necessary confidence-building measures to continue such collaboration. The recent hundreds of artillery incidents in Kyna and Nangarhar provinces have resulted in the deaths of dozens of people, including women and girls, who have been deeply disturbed and concerned by the Afghan people and the Government, and have the potential to undermine the spirit of cooperation between Afghanistan and Pakistan. We urge the immediate cessation of such attacks.", "The recent decision of the Security Council to separate the sanctions regime from the Al-Qaida regime is a wise step in supporting our peace and reconciliation initiatives. It provides new impetus for our reconciliation process led by Afghanistan. We also appreciate the Council's decision to meet our de-listing requests and urge the Council to pay more attention to the additional requests made by us, which have not been met.", "The tenth meeting of the International Contact Group on Afghanistan, held in Kabul, was widely involved in over 50 countries and international and regional organizations, with a focus on reconciliation, regional cooperation, the transition to leadership and ownership in Afghanistan and international support beyond 2014. The meeting was an integral part of the upcoming Istanbul Conference on Afghanistan, aimed at developing a stabilization compact, as well as the lead of the international conference to be held in Bonn later this year, which would review progress made in the transition objective and seek long-term support from the international community in advancing the political process, including reconciliation and regional cooperation relations.", "The international and regional interaction over the past 10 years in Afghanistan now brings a new Silk Road to define the common interest of regional cooperation. This year, we have cooperated more specifically with neighbouring countries in the region to expand the areas of understanding and to work together. During the last month of President Karzai's visit to Islamabad, he conceptualized a strong partnership with Pakistan and a shared vision to promote peace and development. Following this visit, a wide discussion was held with the tripartite framework for Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States Core Group, which recently held its third meeting in Kabul.", "In a recent visit by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, India offered support for the reconciliation process in Afghanistan and announced a significant increase in assistance to Afghanistan. We also have extensive exchanges with Iran, Russia, China, Central Asia and South Asia and the Arab world. An opportunity for peace and stability in Afghanistan is more evident than ever. We will continue to engage constructively with regional partners to achieve our common goals.", "Ensuring Afghanistan's security and its future are related to strengthening the State's power, enabling it to be self-sufficient and to its own fate. In that regard, we look forward to the upcoming review of UNAMA's mandate, which is essential to align the role of the United Nations with the changing needs of the transition period. We firmly believe that a United Nations, based on the Delivering as One approach, is essential to enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the Organization in Afghanistan. We look forward to maintaining a lasting partnership with the United Nations after the transition and the transition period.", "The Government of Afghanistan will continue to improve governance, strengthen the fight against corruption and strengthen transparency and accountability among our national institutions. To that end, we will build on existing measures to ensure accountability for all those involved in illicit activities. The Government of Afghanistan has recently arrested two senior heads of Kabul banks dealing with financial management misconduct, demonstrating our firm commitment to accountability and the rule of law. We have submitted to the Office of the Attorney-General a list of all alleged individuals. A comprehensive survey of the Kabul banking case is currently under way and should result in the liquidation of the debt and bring all the perpetrators to justice. We firmly believe that the final findings will meet the demands of the Afghan people and our international partners.", "Consultations are under way to resolve disputes arising from irregularities during the parliamentary elections. We do not face a constitutional crisis. The Government of Afghanistan is fully committed to addressing this issue within the framework of a legal and political settlement.", "Many innocent Afghans have been killed for prolonged violence, insecurity and war. Civilian casualties are not only digital, but they imply the loss of innocent lives by men and women, children, heads of villages, health workers, teachers and aid workers. The Taliban bear the primary responsibility for these killings and demonstrate that they have lost their conscience when they turn the ground for innocent civilians or those who protect the local population. However, despite repeated calls by NATO forces themselves for the protection of civilians, civilian casualties continue to be devastating. We reiterate our call for an immediate halt to the civilian casualties.", "As we move forward, we must consider the stages of the end of war and ensure that sustainable progress is directed in all areas — security, governance and development. Our goal remains to build a vision for peace, stability, democracy and prosperity in Afghanistan. To achieve that, we must build on the achievements of the past and build a viable framework for cooperation with the region and long-term partnerships between Afghanistan and the international community. Our common success will be crucial in the coming years. In partnership, we will be able to achieve our mandate that we started 10 years ago.", "The President: I now give the floor to members of the Council.", "Mrs. Viotti (Brazil): I thank Mr. Staffan de Mistura, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, for his briefing and for his excellent work under very harsh conditions. I also thank Ambassador Zahir Tanin for his statement.", "Although progress has been made in the situation in Afghanistan, the recent increase in security incidents has been painful and the challenges remain.", "Brazil is also alarmed by the recent signs of hostility against United Nations personnel in Afghanistan. We strongly condemn this brutal attack on the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA). I take this opportunity to reaffirm Brazil's confidence in the work of the United Nations, helping to lay the foundation for lasting peace and development in Afghanistan and to support the transitional efforts of the Government of Afghanistan. We are pleased to see UNAMA's implementation of security-building projects throughout Afghanistan.", "Brazil is also concerned about the escalation of civil unrest in Afghanistan. After years of war and violence, Afghan society should not continue to suffer from the scourge of war. The increase in casualties in conflict should not be considered as an accidental consequence of conflicts alone. All parties concerned must continue to do their utmost to protect civilians and comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law. This conflict cannot have a military solution, but I believe that we all agree. The Kabul process must be followed closely until the transition to full leadership and responsibility to Afghanistan is completed.", "Despite the current difficulties, the transition to security responsibility for Afghanistan must continue. In the same vein, the implementation of the national priority programmes described by the Government of Afghanistan is essential to building the capacities and infrastructure needed in Afghanistan to promote its social and economic development when the international military forces are narrowed.", "In any case, reconciliation remains at the heart of the political settlement of the conflict in Afghanistan. Dialogue is a way to lay a solid foundation for the future of the country. Brazil supports the implementation of the measures agreed at the Review Conference of the Peace and Reintegration Programme in Afghanistan. Brazil stands ready to work with the people of Afghanistan and their Governments to achieve peace and development in the future by strengthening its deployment in Kabul.", "Ms. Çorović (Bosnia and Herzegovina): On behalf of my delegation, I would like to thank Mr. Staffan de Mistura for his comprehensive briefing and Ambassador Tanin for his statement.", "We welcome the continuation by the Government of Afghanistan of the Kabul process, including the successful development of 11 of the 22 national priority programmes. We hope that coordination with donor countries will be able to successfully address the funding of these programmes. The Government of Afghanistan must now achieve concrete results in other important national priority programmes, including in the area of justice and provincial governance, which are crucial for the better functioning of the country. We commend the important support provided by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for the implementation of the Kabul process.", "As for the Government of Afghanistan taking over national security, Bosnia and Herzegovina hopes that the recent events in Kabul and elsewhere will not have a negative impact on the transition announced by President Karzai in March and scheduled to start this month. We also note that the President of the United States, Mr. Barack Obama, recently announced the withdrawal of troops from parts of Afghanistan, followed by the same announcements by the United Kingdom and Germany. This means that the future of Afghanistan and the assessment of what the international community has done for so many years are of great importance. In that regard, we particularly welcome the role of UNAMA in facilitating dialogue between development partners and the International Security Assistance Force to integrate development into transitional planning.", "Another important factor for the future of Afghanistan is the leadership of the Afghan people in the process of reconciliation and reintegration. We are encouraged by the fact that efforts to strengthen this process continue to receive strong support from the international community, including the valuable work of the Special Representative and UNAMA. In addition, the adoption of resolution 1988 (2011) and the establishment of the Taliban sanctions regime are positive steps to support reconciliation efforts.", "We reiterate that reconciliation and integration are key elements of the peace process. We fully understand that, at the human and political levels, such a process is likely to be very sensitive and that it is possible to face obstacles. However, we continue to believe that, in addition to the process of reconciliation and reintegration led by the Afghan people, there is no choice and that this process must be a priority in the future. Progress has been reported on the reintegration of rebels, which has been encouraging, particularly in Kandahar, where significant progress has not been achieved in this area.", "Although the political developments in Afghanistan continue to move in the right direction, we remain seriously concerned about the security situation in Afghanistan. In particular, United Nations statistics show that in May this year the largest number of civilian deaths has increased significantly compared to 2010. Bosnia and Herzegovina strongly condemns the attack on the Logar Hospital on 25 June, which resulted in significant casualties. It is not possible to justify such crimes against innocent civilians. We also condemn recent attacks on a hotel in Kabul and reiterate our condemnation of the attack on UNAMA's resident in Mahmoud al-Sharif, resulting in the casualties of three UNAMA personnel. It must continue to require strict compliance by all parties to the conflict with their obligations under international humanitarian law and the protection of civilians, while strongly emphasizing that the killing of civilians and innocent people is an offence.", "We also see that the current conflict has led to a significant increase in the number of displaced persons. We agree with the Secretary-General that, given their potential to undermine stability, the displacement of the conflict and the lack of support for reintegration efforts are not only humanitarian issues but also serious security concerns. United Nations agencies play a key role in supporting the return of refugees and displaced persons in Afghanistan and their sustainable reintegration. In that regard, we must not forget the clearance of unexploded ordnance, as only 27 per cent of mined areas have been cleared.", "We also commend the efforts of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime to address drug production. The production of drugs remains a lifeline for anti-Government forces and terrorists. We are actively involved in joint international efforts in the Paris Pact process in order to identify and eliminate drug trafficking, which has a significant impact on the security of both the supply and the demanding countries.", "Finally, we believe that regional cooperation, including cooperation with neighbouring countries Iran, Pakistan and India, will only serve to address all important issues related to lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan. We welcome the strengthening of dialogue and cooperation. We also commend Turkey for its efforts in support of stability and economic development in Afghanistan, as well as the Istanbul Conference on Afghanistan, to be held on 2 November 2011, and the commitment of its neighbours to the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Afghanistan during the fourth meeting of the least developed countries, held in Istanbul.", "Finally, we thank the Special Representative, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, UNAMA and all United Nations personnel in Afghanistan for their tireless and dedicated work.", "Mr. Osario (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): Allow me at the outset to congratulate you, Sir, and your country on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month and to wish you every success. I would also like to thank the representative of Gabon and our good friend, Ambassador René Msolani, for his extremely silent and serious presidency of our work last month.", "I would like to welcome and thank Mr. Staffan de Mistura, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), for his very comprehensive and serious presentation. His presentation made a very clear picture of all aspects of the current situation in Afghanistan, the realities that should be followed closely in the future, and the views of the transition and future consolidation processes. I would also like to welcome Ambassador Zahir Tanin.", "I would like to emphasize the very important contribution of UNAMA in improving the stability and democratization process in Afghanistan and its commitment to work with the Government of Afghanistan to lay the foundation for sustainable peace and development in Afghanistan. We believe that, in accordance with its mandate, UNAMA should continue to focus on supporting the political process of peace and reconciliation, security, governance, economic development and regional cooperation.", "My delegation deeply regrets the increase in the number of security accidents, in particular the attacks on United Nations staff and facilities on 1 April. We welcome and support the Special Representative's activities to improve the security situation of staff, and we welcome and support the commitment of the Government of Afghanistan to continue supporting UNAMA. However, it is a matter of concern that public demonstrations against international civil and military presence are becoming more frequent. This situation should be given the greatest attention.", "Similarly, we commend the efforts made to achieve greater responsibility and greater leadership for the Afghans and continue to act in accordance with the timetable so that the Afghan forces can play a leading role in security matters until 2014. This objective should be guided by progress on the ground. In this regard, the efforts of the International Security Assistance Force and the NATO training mission in Afghanistan have helped to create conditions conducive to the progressive assumption of security and governance responsibilities by the Afghan national authorities. We support continuing relations with local authorities and community leaders. As Special Representative de Mistura has pointed out, this helps to establish an inclusive dialogue process that promotes reconciliation with all parts of the population.", "By its resolution 1988 (2011), the Security Council established an independent sanctions regime for individuals and entities associated with the Taliban, and confirmed the central role of the Government of Afghanistan in de-listing requests. This decision will undoubtedly contribute to the reconciliation process in Afghanistan and will contribute to confidence-building among the parties.", "Afghanistan faces many problems. These issues may threaten the sustainability of progress to date. Violence remains one of the main factors. It has affected progress and has led to increased humanitarian needs, rising civilian casualties and internal displacement. We reiterate our call on all parties to the conflict to fulfil their obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law and to take all necessary measures to ensure the protection of civilians.", "We stress the importance of joint regional initiatives to address all aspects of the world drug problem affecting Afghanistan and the region. The constructive and sustained engagement of various actors within and outside the region that implement a common strategy to address the world drug problem in a balanced manner, in accordance with the principle of shared responsibility, contributes to stabilizing the situation and promoting mutual trust between neighbouring countries and surrounding regions. My country Colombia reiterates its readiness to strengthen bilateral cooperation with Afghanistan in order to address this and other manifestations of organized crime.", "Security is necessary to strengthen the rule of law, exercise fundamental freedoms and lay the foundation for economic development. Thus, strengthening the integrated strategic framework with a view to achieving greater coherence in the Organization's efforts and in the implementation of the programmes supporting the Kabul process is a positive step forward to ensure coherence within the United Nations and coherence in international action, thereby contributing to the sovereignty of Afghanistan in all its future aspects.", "Mr. Moraes Cabral (Portugal): I would like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for his very comprehensive briefing and Ambassador Tanin for his very useful statement.", "At the beginning of my statement, I must recall the attacks that took place in Sharm el-Sheikh. The entire international effort of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and even in support of the Government and people of Afghanistan was brutally attacked in Sharm el-Sheikh in April this year. I hereby convey to the Special Representative the highest appreciation of Portugal for the courage shown by UNAMA's staff in the face of the reversal and for their continued commitment to their mission. We commend their dedication. Such a spirit could guarantee that the losses suffered would not be white.", "I believe that the Secretary-General's report (Speak 381), the briefing of the Special Representative and Ambassador Tanin have already covered the basic aspects of the situation in Afghanistan, and to indicate what efforts are needed to make the transition a success.", "This year's spring is indeed difficult. The security assessment shows that the number of casualties, particularly among civilians, persists in insecurity. This clearly demonstrates that fighting for the future of Afghanistan continues. The recent attack on the intercontinental hotel underscores this situation in a symbolic manner. But we must win this fight, not only by defeating the enemy on the ground, but also by gaining opinion, first and foremost Afghan opinion, but also by international opinion.", "Civilian casualties are clearly the most brutal of war. Thus, as in any other war, restrictions on civilian casualties must be the first priority in military command as a fundamental requirement. We understand that the parties concerned have and are making great efforts to reduce the civilian casualties caused by military operations. We call on military commanders to pursue these efforts firmly.", "It is clear, however, that insurgents are responsible for the increasing number of civilian casualties and innocent victims. I recall that the Special Representative, in March this year, referred to the recommendation that rebels request the publication of their own civilian casualties, which was not ignored. I also recall that the parties concerned have taken multiple steps to try to deal with the damage caused by national and international forces to civilians. Building on existing conditions on the ground and integrating valuable recommendations, expertise and goodwill that we can contribute will be very useful in order to claim appropriate compensation for civilians in accordance with the reasonable claims.", "The Special Representative reported that the Technical Legislative Review Committee of the Council of Ministers was currently considering draft regulations on the Centre for the Protection of Women. Portugal was encouraged by the fact that the process was carried out with the necessary inclusiveness, so that amendments to the full protection of women's human rights were incorporated into the final version of the draft law. We are also pleased that UNAMA continues to raise awareness and to monitor the implementation of laws on the elimination of violence against women. We commend the ongoing efforts and the role played by UNAMA in the promotion and protection of human rights. Portugal reiterates the importance attached to women's participation in the institutions of the Government of Afghanistan, including as civil servants.", "With regard to the protection of children referred to by the Special Representative, I would also like to pay tribute to UNAMA and UNICEF, in collaboration with the Office of the Special Representative, for the initiative to prevent child abuse. The wide range of partners composed of United Nations agencies and special representatives is encouraging to demonstrate public commitment to children's rights.", "Finally, we note the multiple efforts of the Government of Afghanistan at the national and foreign levels. With the return of the important Asian corridor in Afghanistan, recent regional steps to strengthen bilateral and multilateral cooperation are welcome. This note indicates that, as Mr. de Mistura and Ambassador Tanin stressed, neighbouring Afghanistan can and should play an important role in the stabilization process in Afghanistan and in the region.", "At the national level, Afghanistan remains a major challenge. We fully endorse the report's confirmation that:", "“The transition process must lead to improved security and better basic services for the population” (Speak 381, para.", "The transition is not only a security issue, as Mr. Stefan de Mistura stressed. Ground military achievements must be translated into an effective governance framework that will strengthen the rule of law, institutions and public services in order to protect those achievements so that they are not eroded because of the lack of accountability and the need for the people. In that regard, the joint independent anti-corruption monitoring and evaluation committee's swearing must be commended and its work must be strongly encouraged.", "On the institutional front, the recent developments in Parliament highlight the need to restore political compromise and to adhere to the Constitution. Afghanistan is experiencing a historic moment in which it needs to be focused and committed. I am sure that Afghan decision makers are working to continue their work at this stage within the framework of democratic growth.", "Finally, I note that the transition to this month is coming to an end, which deserves to be celebrated. Much of the resources and political will will will be the starting point for the people of Afghanistan and Afghanistan in July 2011, not the terminal. As allies and friends, we have the responsibility to continue to support the Government and people of Afghanistan in their achievement.", "Ms. Rice (United States of America): Let me begin by congratulating you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council and thanking Ambassador Gabon for his very able leadership last month.", "I thank the Special Representative, Ambassador de Mistura and Tanin. I would like to thank Special Representative de Mistura for his briefing this morning and for his continued excellent service in Afghanistan. I invite him to convey to United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) the deep and permanent gratitude of the United States for the important work they have done in the face of serious difficulties. The tragedy of 1 April, when the UNAMA compound in Maghreb was hit by a brutal attack, resulting in the deaths of seven United Nations staff, again highlighting the difficulties. We once again express our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the dead. In the face of such barbaric attacks, we have always joined the United Nations and again urge other Member States to provide the United Nations with the necessary resources to strengthen United Nations facilities and protect United Nations staff.", "Let me briefly highlight the three priority objectives of my Government in Afghanistan. First, as President Obama has recently pointed out, the beginning of a responsible transition in July will see the gradual leadership of Afghan forces in their own security. By 2014, this transition process will be completed, with the Afghan people responsible for their own security. As the Afghan security forces are gradually taking over, the United States will continue to reduce its military strength, and our mission will be supported by war. As President Obama announced last month, by the end of this year, 10,000 United States troops will be removed from Afghanistan. In December 2009, he announced that the remaining 23,000 additional troops would withdraw from Afghanistan before the summer of 2012.", "President Obama has taken this decision from strength. We have made significant progress in achieving our goals. The surge in the United States army, coupled with the increased presence of our allies and partners, has helped to achieve stability in more parts of Afghanistan and transform the momentum of the rebels. The quality of the Afghan security forces has increased by more than 100,000 troops. In some areas, as these improvements have been completed, the transfer of security responsibilities to the Afghan National Security Force has been completed.", "As Ambassador Tanin pointed out, in the face of violence, terror and intimidation, Afghanistan defends its own country by creating local police forces, re-opening markets and schools and creating new opportunities for women and girls. We will continue to support the countries that have regenerated after decades of conflict after the end of our military operations.", "Secondly, even if we fulfil this responsibility for a safe transition to Afghanistan, we are redoubled our efforts to bring about a peaceful end to this conflict. We support the Afghan-led initiative to coordinate the Afghan people, including the Taliban. We have taken practical measures to promote reconciliation and reintegration in Afghanistan, including support for the Afghan High-level Peace Commission and provincial police and reintegration committees.", "As the Secretary of State Clinton said in February and President Obama reiterated in June, the necessary outcome of any negotiations must include the renunciation of violence by insurgents, the non-Association with Al-Qaida, adherence to the Afghan Constitution and the commitment to protect women. In order to prove that we are seriously committed, we take the lead in favour of the Council's decision to split the sanctions regime established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) into two differentiations between Al-Qaida and the Taliban. Resolution 1988 (2011) is an important tool for promoting reconciliation and seizing extremists. The resolution sends a clear message to the Taliban on the future of those who wish to join the Afghan peace community.", "Finally, let me briefly turn to an important component of democratic development in Afghanistan — the electoral system in Afghanistan. Last year's parliamentary elections were the first Parliament led by Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban in 2001, representing a historic step by the Afghan people. Throughout the process, Afghan electoral institutions — the Independent Electoral Commission and the Electoral Complaints Commission — show professional practices. Their performance is admirable, despite the difficult security environment and allegations of ill.", "The Special Electoral Court recently announced that the election results of 62 members of the People's Council had been reversed. We are consulting closely with Afghan officials and international partners, including UNAMA. We urge the political leaders of Afghanistan and all institutions of Afghanistan to act in accordance with their respective mandates, in compliance with the Afghan Constitution and electoral laws, and to maintain the necessary mutual checks and balances between the judiciary, the executive and the legislative sectors. The United States has consistently stated that Afghanistan needs to find and deal with abuses arising in the electoral process, in accordance with the Afghan Constitution and the principles of democracy, through mechanisms provided by the Independent Electoral Commission. It is important that the Afghan Parliament perform its constitutional role on behalf of the people of Afghanistan.", "At the same time, we must continue to strengthen the capacity of Afghan electoral institutions. Long-term electoral reform remains key to the future of democracy in the country. In looking forward to the presidential and post-2014 presidential elections, we must ensure that we draw on lessons learned over the past few years to facilitate the democratic future of Afghanistan.", "2011 will be a crucial year, and its high wave will be held in Bonn to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the international community's engagement with the Afghan people. Over the past 10 years, there have been great difficulties and sacrifices, but real progress has been made. We will continue to build a more peaceful and prosperous future for the people of Afghanistan, in line with common purpose and sustained commitment.", "Mr. Wang (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Mr. De Mistura, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, for his briefing and Ambassador Tanin, Permanent Representative of Afghanistan.", "One year ago, the Kabul International Conference on Afghanistan was successfully held. Over a year, the reconstruction of peace in Afghanistan has made positive progress, thanks to the efforts of the Government and people of Afghanistan. At the same time, Afghanistan is at a critical moment of inspiration to achieve a comprehensive and balanced development in the areas of security, political, economic, social and economic development and needs to continue its efforts. Here, I would like to highlight the following five points:", "First, China supports the continuation of the Kabul process with the assistance of the international community. Achieving peace, stability and development in Afghanistan requires full respect for the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Afghanistan, the ownership and ownership of the Government and people of Afghanistan and the genuine realization of “Assembly”.", "Secondly, China expressed serious concern about the recent deterioration of the security situation in Afghanistan and the increase in civilian casualties. We note the announcement by the States concerned of plans to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. We hope that, in the transfer of security authority to Afghanistan, there will be a real assumption of responsibility to help Afghanistan strengthen its security capacity and ensure peace and stability.", "Thirdly, China supports national reconciliation efforts in Afghanistan and fully respects the ownership of the Government and people of Afghanistan and hopes that progress will be made in the peace and reintegration plans of Afghanistan.", "Fourthly, peace reconstruction in Afghanistan requires sustained attention and support from the international community. The international community should effectively honour and fulfil its commitment to assisting Afghanistan and continue to assist the Government and people of Afghanistan. Assistance by all parties to Afghanistan should respect the priority areas identified by Afghanistan itself and be closely aligned with the Afghanistan National Development Strategy.", "Fifthly, China appreciates the positive efforts of the United Nations in advancing the reconstruction of peace in Afghanistan and supports the continued central coordinating role of UNAMA in helping the international community to rebuild peace in Afghanistan and hopes that UNAMA will strengthen its communication, coordination and cooperation with the Government of Afghanistan.", "China and Afghanistan are a friendly neighbouring State, and China has always been committed to the development of a good-neighbourliness, with emphasis on and active participation in the Afghan reconstruction process. China will continue to contribute to the early achievement of peace, stability and development in Afghanistan, together with the international community.", "Sir Marc Leel Granert (United Kingdom): I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. I also congratulate Ambassador Msolani and the delegation of Gabon on guiding the work of the Council in June.", "I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his report (Sole 381), the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Staffan de Mistura, for his informative briefing this morning and Ambassador Tanin for his statement.", "Like other speakers, I am paying tribute to the United Kingdom for the killing of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) staff in Sharm el-Sheikh in April. The United Nations staff members who do so must be able to carry out their work in a safe environment and enjoy the full support of the Government of Afghanistan and the international community. I would also like to commend all other international personnel for their sacrifice in this struggle.", "The visit of the British Prime Minister, Grand Guard Kamerin, has just ended. He saw the progress made by the Government of Afghanistan and the international community in preparing for the transition to a national security responsibility led by Afghanistan. It is encouraging that the first region is expected to start the transition process on 20 July. The size and capacity of the Afghan National Security Force will continue to grow when it is ready to take over the security work of all provinces by the end of 2014. The United States has contributed to the preparation of the transition and, as Ambassador Rice confirmed, the United States Army will be downsized in accordance with the original plan. Other international forces will also begin to withdraw when conditions permit. My Prime Minister earlier today announced that by the end of 2012, the United Kingdom's strength would be reduced by 500 troops, from 9,500 to 9,000. These indications show progress, improvements in the security situation and the strengthening of the Afghan forces. This does not mean, however, that the international community will stop supporting Afghanistan.", "The United Kingdom deeply regrets all civilian casualties caused by the actions of the International Force and the Government of Afghanistan forces. Although such casualties occurred, vigorous preventive measures have been taken in advance. As the Secretary-General pointed out in his report, the vast majority of casualties were caused by insurgents who deliberately use violent tactics aimed at intimidating the population. In the last quarter, insurgents continued to assassination Government employees and deliberately attack civilian targets, including hospitals, markets and intercontinent hotels. The civilian casualties caused by the rebels exceed the casualties caused by the Afghan and international forces, with a ratio of about 8 to 1. We condemn such attacks in the strongest terms.", "The political process led by Afghans is needed to support military progress. Any political solution must be inclusive and must respect the rights and interests of all Afghan citizens. The death of Osama bin Laden has given the Taliban the opportunity to decisively break with Al-Qaida. The British Foreign Minister has called on the Taliban to implement such lapses and participate in the political process. We urge the international community to give the same appeal.", "The defence of democratic principles, including the principle of free and credible elections, is essential for any political solution and is crucial to the future stability of Afghanistan. The United Kingdom remains fully committed to working with the Government of Afghanistan, Parliament and the people in order to strengthen democratic and representative institutions in Afghanistan. We are therefore deeply concerned at the continued failure of the Special Court to settle disputes with Parliament. We call upon all parties concerned to work together to find solutions consistent with Afghan law and to respect the principle of proportionality guaranteed by the Constitution.", "The current situation shows the need for further progress in electoral reform. We continue to support the United Nations in its role in assisting the Government of Afghanistan, institutions and the people in implementing the commitments made last year in London and Kabul. This remains an important part of the UNAMA mandate.", "The achievement of an irreversible transition and progress on political track must be supported by progress in governance and development. If we are to make progress on these issues, it is essential to take the necessary measures to implement the programmes of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Further to the Kabul banking incident, we call for a swift resolution of negotiations on a new fund organization programme and for bringing those responsible to justice. The people of Afghanistan deserve these.", "Since the Secretary-General's quarterly report, significant progress has been made in preparing the Bonn Conference, led by Afghans. Members of the International Contact Group undertook a constructive dialogue in Kabul. We now need to focus on translating these discussions into concrete results, particularly in regional cooperation. We welcome the work done in this area under the leadership of Turkey and look forward to the convening of the Istanbul Conference in November.", "Finally, despite challenges, significant progress has been made on the road to a safe and viable Afghanistan. UNAMA and the wider United Nations family will play an increasingly important role as Afghanistan becomes a country with more traditional development needs from a post-conflict country. We therefore welcome the forthcoming review of the activities of the United Nations. We hope that the Secretary-General will join the assessment of the implementation of the current mandate of UNAMA, its role in the post-transition situation and how the United Nations will support the Government of Afghanistan in building a strong, lasting and sustainable Afghan State.", "Mr. Msolini (Gtent) (spoke in French): I also wish to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of July. I take this opportunity to thank all Permanent Representatives and their delegations for their cooperation and support during the presidency of the Council for the month of June.", "I would also like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Staff de Mistura, and Ambassador Tanin, for having just briefed the situation in Afghanistan on the basis of the Secretary-General's report before us (Speak 381).", "First, I would like to express our strong condemnation of the recent violence, which has weakened progress and achievements since March. Indeed, since our most recent debate on 17 March (see S/PV.6497), the situation in Afghanistan has made significant progress, particularly in the political transition process.", "We are pleased to note the progress made in national reconciliation. In that regard, we welcome the commitment of the Government of Afghanistan, at the request of the Security Council, to facilitate reintegration of moderate rebels, in accordance with resolution 1988 (2011). We also welcome the Government's establishment of a joint independent commission to enhance transparency and accountability within the Administration. We believe that this is an important factor in the transfer of responsibilities, as was also mentioned by Ambassador Tanin.", "Despite these efforts, a number of obstacles remain, particularly in terms of security and good governance. My delegation takes this opportunity to reiterate my call on the new Government of Afghanistan to do its utmost to strengthen its counter-terrorism and anti-corruption capacity, which remains a major obstacle to peace and stability in the country.", "As we stressed at the most recent debate, the security and protection of civilians must be based on a strong and stable constitutional body of the Government and work to build the priorities of the work of sovereign States. The Afghan authorities should assume full responsibility in that regard.", "The announcement in this month of the withdrawal of a number of international forces, in particular the United States and the NATO army, confirmed the serious challenge that the Government had to face in its efforts to fully assume its sovereignty prerogative. Here, we reiterate our full support for the staff of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and the United Nations in providing assistance to the Government of Afghanistan.", "Finally, we commend Mr. Staffan de Mistura for his tireless efforts in supporting peace and stability in the country. With regard to the upcoming transition, we agree with his view that security must remain a priority, but security improvements must be based on enhanced coordination of international assistance, inclusive parties and participatory dialogue, and benefit from a transition dividend. Finally, we reiterate our support for UNAMA and United Nations staff in Afghanistan.", "Mr. Claude (South Africa): Allow me to say, Sir, that my delegation joins other delegations in congratulating you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of July and to thank Ambassador Nelson Msolani for his excellent leadership of the Security Council in June.", "We thank Mr. Staffan de Mistura, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan, for introducing the report of the Secretary-General on Afghanistan (Speak 381). We also thank the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan, Ambassador Zahir Tanin, for participating in this debate.", "My delegation welcomes the more positive developments that have taken place in Afghanistan over the past few months, in particular the progress made in strengthening Afghan leadership and ownership. This includes the progress made in the implementation of the Kabul process, the momentum in reintegration and reconciliation and cooperation between Afghanistan and its neighbours.", "Despite these positive developments, Afghanistan faces key challenges in its efforts to achieve stability and development. Among these are the security situation, the worsening humanitarian situation, human rights shortcomings and the continued casualties of civilians. South Africa stressed the need for a comprehensive strategy covering security, humanitarian issues, good governance and socio-economic development, given the daunting challenges. In that regard, we wish to highlight the central role played by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in supporting the Government of Afghanistan and coordinating international assistance to that country. It is vital that the continued role of bilateral partners remains indispensable.", "We are particularly concerned about attacks against the United Nations and its staff. South Africa condemns in the strongest terms the violent attack on 1 April against the United Nations operational centre in Mahmoud al-Sharif, which caused death and injury to United Nations staff.", "South Africa continues to welcome efforts to strengthen political outreach activities. Political dialogue and reconciliation among the people and leaders remain essential for the long-term stability of Afghanistan. We are pleased that the High-level Peace Commission has intensified its efforts to lead reconciliation efforts. These efforts and efforts to integrate insurgents, including the Taliban, should be encouraged.", "The plight of Afghan children caught in the conflict continues to be a source of concern to my delegation, and in this regard we strongly condemn the attacks on a school by suspected militants of a motor vehicle last week, who dropped a grenade to the school entrance.", "With regard to the role of women, my delegation believes that Afghan women can play an important role in ensuring peace and stability in the country. They should welcome their role in building a new Afghan society.", "National ownership and leadership remain key to the political and socio-economic progress of Afghanistan. For the international community, it should continue to play a supportive role in the transition from conflict to stability and prosperity in the country. South Africa therefore continues to support the presence and functioning of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).", "Finally, we commend the Special Representative, De Mistura, for the completion of the comprehensive review of the mandate of UNAMA and the comprehensive strategic framework for United Nations support for Afghanistan, and for the efforts of UNAMA and its staff to implement the Security Council mandate in order to establish a more peaceful and stable Afghanistan.", "Mrs. Ogwu (Nigeria): I would like to thank Special Representative de Mistura for his very inspiration and clear briefing. I would also like to thank Ambassador Tanin for his comprehensive briefing, as he has shown extraordinary courage even in times of hardship.", "Nigeria welcomed the steady progress achieved in Afghanistan. Afghanistan has been firmly seeking valuable peace and stability. The new Constitution had been finalized, several elections had been held, the prospects for economic growth had been better, the new strategy to combat rebel activities had strengthened recent military achievements, and donors remained very committed to financing civilian reconstruction. We believe that these political progress should be consolidated through robust reconciliation and integration processes, including the Taliban and non-Taliban rebels, in particular in the Kandahar region.", "As the Secretary-General's report (Speak 381) reminds us, we are committed to ensuring that all parties are genuinely committed not only to comply with the new code of conduct established by the Government of Afghanistan, but also to remain vigilant in upholding the Constitution. The political process must be led and promoted by Afghans and must be in line with the Constitution. This process must promote not only lasting peace and stability but also the protection of women's rights. The success of the political process will be conducive to consolidating the ongoing efforts of the Government of Afghanistan to improve governance and accountability, including the unhindered participation of women in the peace process.", "The Government of Afghanistan should continue its efforts to implement its anti-corruption efforts and its obligations under the London Conference and Kabul. The Government of Afghanistan is more firmly committed to the fight against corruption and the obligations arising from the London Conference and Kabul meetings will strengthen these efforts.", "With regard to the security sector, the recent attacks on the United Nations Operations Centre located in Mazardev and a high-level hotel in the capital of the country are unfortunate reminders that the security situation is tense and fragile. We condemn these cowards, which have targeted civilians, the security forces and the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) without distinction. The perpetrators of these attacks must be brought to justice. In fact, these attacks undermine the capacity of the Afghan security forces and doubt the readiness of the Government and the security forces to respond to future security challenges. We support the urgent strengthening of the implementation phase of the security transition process through enhanced training and capacity-building and enhanced cooperation between the United Nations and ISAF.", "The involvement of the Government of Afghanistan in the listing and de-listing process will provide a more assured platform for countering terrorism, particularly in the context of the Kabul communiqué. For that reason, Nigeria supports the decision to separate the Al-Qaida sanctions regime from the Taliban. In that regard, we reiterate that these requests for de-listing should be dealt with by the Committee on a case-by-case basis, in particular in the light of the circumstances in which they are themselves.", "In the economic sphere, Nigeria commended the Government of Afghanistan for its continued commitment to the implementation of national priority programmes in line with the Kabul process. The implementation of this programme and the benchmarks developed by the Government of Afghanistan will require enhanced coordination by the international community and timely international assistance. We support the provision of donor funds and other assistance to the country through the Afghan budget system to enhance coherence and efficiency.", "In the absence of a viable solution to the ongoing impasse in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, the current social economic growth and the priority programmes of the Government of Afghanistan, including the education and health sector, will not continue. We therefore support the establishment of an appropriate mechanism for the Government of Afghanistan and donors to promote and implement the Fund's organizational programmes.", "In the area of regional cooperation, we welcome the strengthening of cooperation between Afghanistan and its neighbours, particularly in the areas of countering terrorism and combating drug, arms and trafficking and organized crime. We welcome the resumption of the Tripartite Conference between Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States. Both progress has confirmed that regional partners are committed to the stability, economic development, territorial integrity and sovereignty of Afghanistan. We hope that this Tripartite initiative will be sustained when we all look forward to the Istanbul Conference scheduled for 2 November and the International Conference of Foreign Ministers scheduled to be held in Bonn this year. At both meetings, the international community could make new commitments to the Afghan-led process and support it.", "The future and fate of Afghanistan may be difficult to imagine, but the international community must always be vigilant to ensure a future of peace, security and genuine reconciliation and development. In this daunting effort, we commend the Special Representative, Staffan de Mistura, for his encouraging excellent leadership of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. The outstanding achievements of the Mission's staff and their valuable contribution to the global concerted effort to restore peace, democracy and security in Afghanistan will be presented in a live record.", "Mr. Pankin (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): Allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of July. I wish you every success. I also thank the delegation of Gabon for its presidency and work in June.", "We thank Mr. Staffan de Mistura for his in-depth and frank analysis of the situation in Afghanistan and for introducing the report of the Secretary-General (Secologist 381). We welcome the statement made by Ambassador Tanin, Permanent Representative of Afghanistan.", "We agree with their assessment of the measures being taken by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in accordance with its mandate. We agree with their assessment of the current grave security situation in Afghanistan, which has been reflected in many security incidents that have occurred in recent months. I would first like to comment on the unfortunate events of the United Nations Office in Manila in April and the loss of United Nations staff. We are also alarmed at the murder of former Deputy Minister of the Ministry of the Interior, Douad, in May in Tahajar Province, the attack on the provincial governors of Logara and Badakhshan Province in June, and the recent Taliban attacks on the intercontinental hotels caused innocent civilian casualties. We strongly condemn all these acts of terrorism.", "These attacks by rebels indicate that the Taliban movement has attempted to subvert the situation in Afghanistan and undermine the international community's efforts to re-establish the country after conflict. The leaders of the Taliban have neither acted for the Afghan people nor made efforts to achieve lasting peace and prosperity and independent Afghanistan.", "The Russian Federation is particularly concerned about the situation in northern Afghanistan, where there have been several noteworthy acts of terror. These actions have triggered a reversal in Central Asian countries, including our partners in the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. In view of the ongoing activities of the Taliban and Al-Qaida terrorists, there is a need for an enduring and structured approach to the implementation of national reconciliation plans.", "We hope that recent changes to the sanctions regime in accordance with resolution 1207 (1999) will contribute to the efforts of the Government of Afghanistan to implement its national reconciliation strategy, provide greater impetus for the realization of the Afghan solution and promote regional security, which are agreed upon by the international community.", "In that regard, we note that resolution 1988 (2011) reaffirmed the important principles of national reconciliation in Afghanistan, including the abandonment of violence, compliance with the Afghan Constitution and the abandonment of contacts with Al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations. In accordance with these standards, the removal of Taliban leaders from the list of United Nations sanctions regimes is unacceptable. Dialogue with Taliban leaders can only be held under the leadership of Afghans. Any contact with them, in particular outside official channels, may send a false signal of the international community's solution to Afghanistan.", "We are also particularly concerned about the implementation of long-term plans to strengthen the military presence in Afghanistan after 2014. We believe that the neutrality of Afghanistan must be established. The Presidents of the Russian Federation and the United States expressed their support for this idea in their joint statement of 24 June 2010, and members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization were also supporting it in the Astana Declaration of 15 June. Of course, this issue has the right to take ownership of the Afghan people themselves — not in the recent future, but after the stabilization of Afghanistan. We believe that the establishment of a neutral status of Afghanistan, if accepted, can facilitate dialogue on reconciliation.", "We are concerned about drug trafficking in Afghanistan. There is no doubt that drug trafficking in Afghanistan is a threat to international peace and security, as noted in resolutions 1943 (2010) and 1974 (2011). In order to eliminate this threat, joint efforts and a combination of potential capabilities must be made. Unfortunately, the Alliance forces do not have enough energy to do so. My country believes that the current foreign army in Afghanistan can and should play a more active role in dealing with the production and trafficking of drugs, in particular because they bear the security responsibility of Afghanistan. Our recommendations remain valid, namely our real-time interaction with partners in NATO, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Collective Security Treaty Organization.", "We are deeply concerned about the death of civilians caused by the indiscriminate or disproportionate use of force by the military. In accordance with the norms of international humanitarian law, all parties, including international forces, bear the responsibility to ensure the safety of the civilian population. The Russian Federation will continue to endorse the central coordinating role of the United Nations in international efforts to ensure that the situation in Afghanistan is addressed. The United Nations will effectively and impartially support the implementation of the provisions contained in the outcome document of the Kabul Conference relating to Afghanistan's autonomy in national management and will ensure long-term stability in Afghanistan.", "Another important aspect of achieving long-term stability is the way in which the United Nations control the implementation of Security Council mandates by international forces. These forces entered the territory of Afghanistan under the mandate of the Security Council, which can only be withdrawn after the completion of the mandate of the Security Council. They do not have the right to leave Afghanistan before they do not complete the counter-terrorism mandate or establish effective Afghan military and police.", "My country believes that the downsizing of United States forces announced by the President of the United States, Barack Obama, will be accomplished by increasing the capacity of the Afghan National Security Force, and that the former should be ready to take over the safe and effective fight against extremism and drug trafficking.", "Ms. Ziade (Lebanon) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to express Lebanon's gratitude to Mr. Staffan de Mistura, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, for his briefing and for the statement of Ambassador Tanin. I also commend the efforts of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in Afghanistan, particularly given the difficult situation on the ground.", "After the decade of international military intervention in Afghanistan, we are now witnessing a new era of transfer of authority to the people of Afghanistan. However, the security situation remains alarming. Violence against international and Afghan forces and violence against the people of Afghanistan continue to accelerate progress. This situation has resulted in a more need for vigilance at the security level in the transition period in order to return authority to the people of Afghanistan and to ensure the safety of civilians and their property. All parties should respect international humanitarian law and make every effort to protect the lives of innocent people.", "Lebanon commended efforts to achieve reconciliation and reintegration in the search for a political solution to the crisis. We stress in particular the role played by the High-level Peace Commission and the unanimous adoption by the Security Council of resolution 1988 (2011) in support of the reconciliation process, which separates the sanctions regime against the Taliban and Al-Qaida and provides members of the Taliban with opportunities to break the terrorist ideology and abide by the Constitution in order to participate in the peace process.", "The issue of respect for human rights in Afghanistan is as important as security. In particular, efforts should continue to be made to implement laws on violence against women in every province. Women should be protected from discrimination, injustice and coercion and should be integrated into public life. These are what the Organization has repeatedly called for.", "In addition, we would like to highlight the importance of allegations of torture and ill-treatment by detainees in the Secretary-General's report (Speak 381). These detainees often have no defence counsel and are arbitrarily detained without charge or trial. It is essential for good governance to fill such gaps in the rule of law and institutions.", "We should also emphasize the need for continued commitment to the implementation of the Kabul process, particularly in the framework of social and economic development. Reform of public institutions is also essential for transparency and accountability. We would also like to endorse the Secretary-General's call in his report on the need to establish a national programme of the International Monetary Fund. The lack of such a programme is having a general negative impact on projects and programmes across the country.", "Moreover, efforts in Afghanistan should be accompanied by dialogue and regional cooperation. The neighbouring countries of Afghanistan could strengthen their linkages with Afghanistan through monitoring borders and combating drug trafficking and transnational organized crime and contribute to improving the security and safety situation. Indeed, this is also in line with the interests of neighbouring countries.", "We would like to emphasize that we appreciate the efforts of the wider international community, in particular the United Nations, through its agencies. United Nations staff are making courageous and perseverable efforts to establish a Afghan national regime capable of protecting its people and institutions in order to safeguard the lives and prosperity of all Afghans.", "Mr. Viina Kumar (India): At the outset, I would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council and to commend the Permanent Representative of Gabon and his team for guiding the work of the Council in June. I would also like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this debate on Afghanistan today. I thank Ambassador Zahir Tanin, Permanent Representative of Afghanistan, for his statement. We thank the Secretary-General for his recent report (Suff381), and thank Special Representative Staffan de Mistura for his briefing.", "Afghanistan is starting point in the transition implementation phase. As a result, the Afghan security forces will start assuming their responsibilities in seven key areas, including Kabul. This is a crucial stage for Afghanistan and the international community. We are deeply concerned that the challenges facing Afghanistan, in particular in the area of security, seem to be unabated. Instead, the overall security environment continues to deteriorate. The Secretary-General's report indicates that security accidents increased by 51 per cent compared to the same period in 2010 and marked a significant increase in suicide attacks, abductions and assassinations. The terrorist attack against the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) resident in Mazar-e Sharif and in the Government building in Kandahar confirms that the tactics of the Taliban and other opposition groups to choose soft civilian targets have changed.", "As we pointed out in our statement of 17 March on this subject (see S/PV.6497), the terrorist alliance in the region has made ideological, negative, training and operational hazards, with the aim not limited to Afghanistan, as a suicide terrorist attack. The international community has taken away from the fighting in Afghanistan and has no bearing on the country. It is therefore essential that the transition should be linked to the realities on the ground and not to the rigid timetable.", "In this regard, the ongoing assessment and review of evolving situations, in coordination with the Government of Afghanistan, is essential. We appreciate the enhanced collaboration between the International Security Assistance Force and the Afghan National Security Force to build the necessary strength and capacities of the Afghan forces. This, coupled with appropriate means of support, is essential for the transition to security responsibility. It is important that the transition process be led by Afghans. The transition must also be planned and implemented in a systematic manner and must ensure the protection and promotion of the human rights of all Afghans.", "In order to secure and stabilize Afghanistan, terrorist alliances, including Al-Qaida, the Taliban, philosophical forces and other terrorist and extremist groups operating outside Afghanistan, must be isolated and eradicated. These groups are centred on ideas and actions, and their linkages are strengthened every year. As noted in the Secretary-General's report, insurgents in Afghanistan continue to be resilient and demonstrate the ability to carry out multiple complex attacks. insurgents continue to suffer from resistance, constant change of tactics, a large number of people and the proliferation of areas previously considered safe. All of this is a reminder that, unless the international community is able to deal firmly with the safe havens of terrorists outside Afghanistan, the security gains will remain volatile.", "India fully supports the reconciliation process, led by Afghans, inclusive, transparent and consistent with the guidelines announced by the Government of Afghanistan in Kabul and in the communiqué of the London Conference. This process must be accompanied by an inclusive political process and dialogue among Afghans. It is important to identify the front sections of those willing to reintegrate and ensure that they are truly retroactive.", "We support the views and decisions expressed by the Government and the people of Afghanistan in seeking to build a more secure, stable and prosperous future in their countries, as well as robust democracy systems. The people of Afghanistan must be allowed to rebuild their country in conditions of peace and security without interference by their neighbours. They must be dominated by their own destiny. We expect that the new sanctions regime established in accordance with resolution 1988 (2011) will enable the Government of Afghanistan to have a greater voice in addressing the challenges posed by those who pose a threat to peace, security and stability in the country.", "The ownership and leadership of Afghanistan are essential for the development and reconstruction of Afghanistan. It also means that the international community's development efforts must be more coherent and further streamlined, including by aligning aid with Afghanistan's national priorities and increasingly working through Afghan institutions.", "India has a strong foundation based on rich historical and civilization links and a strategic partnership based on a common search for regional peace and prosperity. India remains committed to working with the Government and people of Afghanistan to build a peaceful, stable, democratic and pluralistic country. India's assistance programme is spread throughout Afghanistan and covers almost all economic and social development activities. Assistance to Afghanistan in its reconstruction efforts, capacity-building and the development of human resources skills, as well as the building of its public institutions, is a priority for India. As Ambassador Tanin said in his statement, during his most recent visit to Afghanistan from 11 to 13 May, my Prime Minister announced that India had provided $500 million in addition to the $1.5 billion pledged.", "The stability and economic development of Afghanistan depend to a large extent on the neighbours of Afghanistan and the region as a whole. Enhancing economic integration with India and other countries in the region is key to future prosperity in Afghanistan. The region of Southern Afghanistan until the Delta Delta is a single geographical and economic basin, and India's economic focus. This is the largest regional market in Afghanistan, which is a source of potential investment, skills, training, technology and expertise that can provide models for democracy and national institutions and their cultural environment.", "Afghanistan has a great potential for land bridges and trade, transport, energy emerging hubs that link Central Asia, Western Asia and South Asia. Recent developments in regional cooperation, including the signing of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project agreement, will further promote regional cooperation. Economic interdependence will promote peace and prosperity throughout the region, in particular Afghanistan. Afghanistan joined the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) in 2005, and is now becoming an active member of the South African League. India, as a neighbouring country of Afghanistan, will continue its efforts to promote the further integration of Afghanistan into the regional framework.", "Finally, we commend UNAMA for its good work. We believe that at this critical juncture, the international community must continue to support the Government of Afghanistan in achieving its priorities.", "Mr. Arrod (France) (spoke in French): I should, of course, congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council and thank the representative of Gabon for his skilful presidency of the Council for the month of June. I would also like to thank Mr. De Mistura for introducing the situation in Afghanistan and to associate myself with the statement to be made later by the representative of the European Union. In addition, I would like to thank Ambassador Tanin for his statement.", "First, I would like to pay tribute to all United Nations staff working in Afghanistan. Following the attack on the headquarters of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) on 1 April, the Security Council responded. The attack was a trajectory because men and women were those who had helped to stabilize, secure and develop Afghanistan.", "We cannot detract from our primary goal because of this attack, namely helping the Government of Afghanistan to make progress and restore full sovereignty. In that regard, the transition process has begun. This new phase of our commitment this year will lead to the gradual and orderly transfer of security responsibilities to Afghan authorities. Together with its allies, France will continue to commit itself to working with the Afghan people to ensure that the transition process is completed by the end of 2014, including in our deployment of regional or training Afghan security forces. Our commitment in Afghanistan is long-term and will be adapted on the basis of circumstances to adapt to the new transition. France will work closely with allies and Afghan authorities to plan the exit of troops. But we must be careful to ensure that the transition process is accompanied by responsibility for governance and development by the Government of Afghanistan.", "Many work is to be done and time is critical. We must ensure that the Afghan people are further involved in the planning and implementation of development projects. For its part, the Government of Afghanistan must be more firmly committed to the fight against corruption and the skirts, which are seen from the Kabul banking problem.", "Progress has also been made in budget implementation through the decentralization of public expenditure and the further strengthening of the capacity of provincial, district planning and implementation of development projects.", "With regard to security issues, we have re-ownership of the military initiative so that the Government of Afghanistan can re-establish its ground in a number of areas. With our financial support and training, the Afghan army and the police force are growing, enabling allies to envisage the evacuation of some of the fighting forces from Afghanistan.", "Our military and training efforts have started to be effective, but are at the expense of very difficult fighting. Military achievements will be brief if the legitimacy of the Afghan authorities cannot be strengthened so that they can envisage political solutions to conflicts. Unfortunately, the uncertain situation created by the Court affects legislative power and is not conducive to the proper functioning of democratic institutions, making them unable to focus on addressing the real concerns of Afghan voters. We call upon all Afghan institutions to act in accordance with their respective mandates under the Constitution, based on the principle of separation of powers. The Special Representative of the Secretary-General must continue to monitor developments in the situation and the electoral reforms that it needs.", "But we also note that progress has been made in the way of reconciliation within Afghanistan. We continue to support President Karzai and the High-level Peace Commission in their efforts to develop a peace process involving all sectors of Afghan society. This process must be supported by regional efforts to balance the security interests of neighbouring Afghanistan while respecting Afghanistan's sovereignty. From that perspective, the United Nations can play a useful role.", "By splitting the United Nations sanctions regime against Al-Qaida and the Taliban, the Security Council made a very important decision. We hope that this can inspire the people of Afghanistan to renounce international terrorism, start direct dialogue and look forward to the future.", "Finally, France wishes to reiterate our full support for the efforts of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Staffan de Mistura. By resolution 1974 (2011), the Council extended the mandate of UNAMA and confirmed that the priorities presented by the Council two years ago are correct. The Council also requested that a comprehensive review of UNAMA and United Nations activities in Afghanistan be completed by the end of 2011. This will provide an opportunity to review the evolution of United Nations commitments to Afghanistan. The review must be carried out in full transparency and in cooperation with the Afghan authorities. This process, the second Bonn Conference and the extension of UNAMA's mandate in 2012 represent a reaffirmation of our commitment to the establishment of a shared vision for democracy, independence and prosperity in Afghanistan.", "The President: I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Germany.", "Let me join other speakers in warmly welcoming and thanking the Special Representative for his briefing today. We also thank Ambassador Tanin for his statement.", "My Government aligns itself with the statement to be made later by the European Union (EU).", "Today, I would like to address three issues.", "First, with regard to transition, Germany welcomes the start of a security transition process in the context of the increased number and quality of the Afghan security forces. My delegation particularly welcomes the start of this month's safe transition to the responsibility to security in the first seven regions and cities.", "It must be emphasized that the transition process will continue to be a process based on the agreement reached between NATO and the Government of Afghanistan. In recent months, security incidents have been prone to a clear indication of our future challenges. However, we believe that the strategy and timeline agreed between Afghanistan and the international community will continue to guide our work effectively. We intend to continue doing so.", "Germany condemns the ongoing violence and condemns in the strongest terms the recent attack on the Logar Hospital. We continue to note with grave concern the further increase in civilian casualties, with up to 90 per cent being caused by insurgents. We commend the professional response of the Afghan security forces in the course of the heinous attacks on the intercontinent hotels in Kabul last week.", "Here in the Council, I would like to place particular emphasis on United Nations security. Like all here today, Germany very much appreciates the work carried out by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and other United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) colleagues in a very difficult environment. However, while we expect UNAMA to continue its indispensable work, we also have the responsibility to do everything we can to protect United Nations staff and operations. The events in Mazar-Sharif are another shocking incident to the United Nations family, and we express our condolences to all the families of the victims. Germany calls for every effort, including the Government of Afghanistan, to do its utmost to protect international support actions in Afghanistan.", "Secondly, with regard to the Kabul process, the handover described by the process will also change the nature of international support over time. However, the international community strongly expects that the resources and expertise of the United Nations can be used to maintain the progress achieved and to establish sustainable partnerships with viable countries that are able to lead, democratic principles, respect for human rights and reliable government and non-governmental organizations, based on a solid constitution.", "One decisive factor for the success of the Kabul process is the resolution of the crisis in Kabul banks. There is no substitute for credible financial institutions. Germany aligns itself with the report that the absence of the International Monetary Fund programme seriously endangers the Kabul process and jeopardizes the ability to support development through the Government budget.", "Thirdly, I would like to briefly comment on the preparations for the International Conference on Afghanistan to be held in Bonn in December. Some members referred to the conference, while Germany looked forward to hosting it at the request of the Government of Afghanistan. In general, the meeting was intended to highlight the level of political content in our common strategy for Afghanistan. As President Karzai decided, the three main objectives of the conference, to be chaired by Afghanistan, were to further identify the civil issues involved in the handover prior to 2014; to strongly identify and identify the long-term international support for the country after 2014; and to promote the reconciliation process, including the regional reconciliation process. We expect that the Bonn Conference will be an important milestone on the road to building stability, peace and peace with neighbouring countries.", "In this regard, Germany believes that the recent dismantling of the sanctions regime set out in resolution 1267 (1999) as a single sanction for Al-Qaida and the Taliban regime is an important stone.", "In conclusion, I would like to reiterate Germany's continued long-standing support for our Afghan friends and stress our appreciation for the role of UNAMA and the wider support that the United Nations has provided. Germany believes that UNAMA and the United Nations system are partners that focus on the successful engagement of all Afghans.", "I shall now continue to exercise the functions of the President of the Security Council.", "I now call on the representative of Japan.", "Mr. WA (Japan): I would like to thank Special Representative De Mistura for his comprehensive and informative briefing. I would also like to express my gratitude to all men and women of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for their strong commitment to the completion of this very difficult task. I also thank Ambassador Tanin for his statement.", "At the outset, I wish to express my deep regret at the attack of UNAMA on 1 April in Salarif. I extend my deepest condolences to the families of United Nations staff who have sacrificed in the attack.", "At the Council's last debate on this topic in March (see S/PV.6497), Special Representative De Mistura stated that 2011 was a crucial year. It was a transfer year before 2014. Japan is committed to continuing its cooperation with UNAMA in this very important year and thereafter.", "The security situation in Afghanistan remains challenging, as the Secretary-General's recent report (Speak 381). We are concerned about the security threats highlighted by the recent attack on the Inter-January Hotel in Kabul. I extend my deep condolences to the dead. Security remains a priority issue that we must address.", "Japan supports President Obama's announcement of the United States policy towards A. Transfers will be initiated in seven regions this month. The smooth transfer of work during the drawdown of United States and other international forces is essential for peace and security in Afghanistan.", "The transfer of responsibility and sustainable security are interlinked with the political process and development in the country. In that context, Japan continues to play a role in strengthening the national security forces in Afghanistan by providing assistance to the Afghan police, such as through continued funding for the police payroll and by strengthening the administrative capacity of central and provincial governments. Japan has recently decided to support the programme “to develop literacy for Afghan police capacity” and will start working with Turkey to train the Afghan National Police in this month.", "Other concerns remain. The situation of Kabul's banks is a serious problem affecting international donors that provide funding and even the international aid framework. The dismissal by the Special Court of the membership elected last year and previously confirmed by the Independent Electoral Commission has led to tensions between the Parliament and the courts, which may seriously affect the stability and reconstruction of Afghanistan. This happens when it is crucial to preserve the unity of the country. We sincerely hope that the Government of Afghanistan, the Parliament and the courts will act within their respective mandates to address these issues promptly and properly.", "We welcome the successful holding of the Afghanistan Peace and Reintegration Programme Review in Kabul on 10 and 11 May. Further progress in the reintegration process is an important pillar of the political process. We highly appreciate the important role played by UNAMA and the countries concerned in the process. Japan is committed to continuing to contribute, as reflected in our contribution of $50 million to the reintegration fund for irreversible progress in the reintegration programme led by Afghans.", "In that regard, the recent adoption by the Security Council of a resolution placing the Al-Qaida and the Taliban sanctions list into two parts is a positive step towards reconciliation in the country. More progress is needed in the political process, and Afghans must exercise ownership with the continued support of the international community.", "For Afghanistan to achieve long-term stability, we must accelerate regional cooperation among its neighbours. Japan is ready to play an active role in larger economic development that can pave the way for the integration of neighbouring countries into the regional and global economy.", "Japan, despite the impact of the earthquake in March, remains committed to its assistance. Given the importance of Afghanistan, we committed ourselves in November 2009 to providing such assistance. While the downsizing of military presence will soon begin, long-term engagement in Afghanistan remains important. I would like to emphasize once again that, in order to achieve a sustainable economy, the responsibility of Afghanistan is more necessary than ever for the support of the international community. This should focus on a medium- and long-term perspective to enable the economic development of Afghanistan to be self-sufficient by the full transition from 2014.", "I am sure that the international community is firmly committed to the reconstruction of Afghanistan. We look forward to further progress at the meeting on Afghanistan in Bonn in December. From the perspective of Afghanistan, the country needs to strengthen its ability to achieve genuine Afghan ownership and leadership. Resolution 1974 (2011) calls for a comprehensive review of UNAMA's mandate and United Nations support to Afghanistan, which will be a very important task for the United Nations to guide the future direction of Afghanistan. UNAMA continues to play an important role and Japan will continue to do its utmost to contribute to its activities.", "Finally, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to Special Representative de Mistura for his dedication and reaffirm our commitment to supporting the work of UNAMA.", "The President: I now give the floor to the representative of Canada.", "Mr. Rivalid (Canada): Afghanistan is entering a critical period where it is likely that its transformation into a long-term process of safe and stable democracy will be significantly affected by recent events and decisions.", "Improving the security situation remains the most important thing for our work in Afghanistan. Despite the successful reversal of the rebel momentum in southern Afghanistan, there has been an increase in violence in areas previously considered safe. Security needs to be significantly strengthened to provide the necessary space for growth and development in Afghanistan.", "All the civilian casualties caused by violence are tragic, and we take all possible steps to avoid the actions of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) resulting in civilian casualties. However, the vast majority of deaths were caused by insurgents. Indeed, civilians are often the main targets of insurgents. The recent attack on the intercontinental meals in Kabul and the recent use of a 8-year-old girl as a human bomb is testimony to this. We condemn these practices of non-selectivity in international law and call for the cessation of such practices.", "Recently, the Government of Afghanistan and ISAF have initiated the process of transitioning key security responsibilities from the international community to the Afghan authorities. Canada is committed to increasing the number and quality of the Afghan National Security Force through the NATO training mission in Afghanistan, which is crucial to maintaining peace in the country. To that end, Canada will provide 950 Canadian troops and 45 civilian police officers to assist in training national security forces from 2011 to 2014. We may be downsizing in Kandahar, but we remain committed to supporting Afghanistan.", "(spoke in French)", "The military approach alone cannot achieve stability and security in Afghanistan, and the Government of Afghanistan and insurgents need to pursue a political reconciliation process. In order to achieve lasting reconciliation, insurgents need to renounce violence and to refrain from contacting Al-Qaida and recognize the Afghanistan Constitution. While we agree that talks should be held, some Afghans have indeed feared that the gains made in the areas of democratization, human rights and the provision of basic services over the past 10 years may be in the east. The current discussion should recognize this concern and ensure that peace will benefit all Afghan citizens.", "Canada shares the view of many Afghans and members of the international community that, in the long term, lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan will require an inclusive treatment process. This must involve all levels of Afghan society, including Afghan women, in the long-term work aimed at re-establishing relations and resolving historical grievances, and if these do not be addressed, lasting peace in Afghanistan can be undermined.", "Canada, together with our international partners, is working closely with the Government of Afghanistan to ensure coordination of the civilian dimension of the transition, namely, strengthening governance and development, in order to support the success and irreversibility of the overall transition. Successful transition will depend on concerted efforts and serious political commitment by the Afghan leadership to ensure effective, inclusive and accountable governance.", "It is important to continue to build and build the capacity of the Government of Afghanistan to deliver services and opportunities for ordinary Afghans. In this regard, the Kabul process led by the Government of Afghanistan and the national priority programmes remain important tools for the Government of Afghanistan and the international community. Now, we must promote the implementation of the national priority programmes by linking them to the transition to security and ensuring that they have practical benefits in providing health and education for ordinary Afghans. It is now important that these programmes be financially sustainable and realistic. In that regard, the international community needs to help Afghanistan increase its ability to generate income during that period. The private sector will also play an important role in the country's development.", "It is also essential that Afghans be able to trust the officials they have elected and represent their interests at the regional, provincial and national levels. Corruption erodes the confidence of democratic institutions and weakens efforts to stabilize the country. Corruption remains a serious problem and is likely to be a major obstacle to the successful transition in the coming years. Therefore, the Government of Afghanistan must take concrete and visible action to fight corruption and prevent it from placing the transition agenda into orbit.", "(spoke in English)", "Regional countries also play an important role in the success of Afghanistan and even in the overall stabilization of South and Central Asia. It is essential that Afghanistan and its neighbours overcome the deep-rooted mistrust and conflicts of interest that are often incompatible with regional stability and economic logic. Political differences continue to hamper progress in economic initiatives that can achieve win-win gains and make a significant contribution to regional stability and prosperity.", "We look forward to the meeting on Afghanistan, to be held in Bonn in December, which will focus on issues of importance to the transition process. Several such meetings on Afghanistan will be held in 2011. It is absolutely important that we continue the open and open dialogue, while we need to bring together genuine political will to achieve tangible progress.", "Over the past 10 years, Afghanistan has made remarkable and measurable progress in key areas. We all focus on the same goal and the transition to responsibility for security, governance and development to the Government of Afghanistan. The Government of Afghanistan and the international community are committed to achieving that goal and Canada will continue to play an active role.", "The President: I now give the floor to the representative of Pakistan.", "Mr. Harron (Pakistan): We would like to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of July and to thank you for convening today's debate.", "I would like to pay special tribute to the briefing of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Staffan de Mistura. Pakistan has consistently valued the work of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) under the strong leadership of Special Representative De Mistura. I hope that he will no longer continue to serve as a gesture.", "The Secretary-General's quarterly report is an important barometer for political and security developments in Afghanistan. I would like to emphasize that these reports provide useful indicators to measure the progress achieved and the setbacks that we have suffered in our collective efforts to promote peace in Afghanistan.", "First, the period covered by the review marked the start of the transition to greater Afghan leadership and ownership, which was also envisaged in the Kabul process. That was a point that Pakistan had indicated at each meeting of the Security Council. Secondly, this meeting coincides with the commencement of a comprehensive review of UNAMA's mandate, as requested by 1974 (2011). We believe that it should continue to define UNAMA's priorities at this stage, in accordance with the principles of promoting national reconciliation, supporting governance and promoting socio-economic development in Afghanistan, perhaps at least one area that has shown trends in the figure to date.", "With regard to the ongoing comprehensive review of UNAMA's mandate — which should be completed in 2011 — I must stress the importance of ensuring Afghan ownership and respect for Afghanistan's sovereignty in all areas. UNAMA's work is more consistent with the objectives of the transition period and coordination within United Nations agencies must be an essential component of the new mandate.", "Are Afghanistan being burned? I wish to recall that the report of the Secretary-General records that security incidents increased by 51 per cent during the reporting period. The report rightly expresses concern about the loss of human beings caused by the conflict, which is characterized by increased civilian casualties, not only in rebel activities but also in military operations.", "Allow me to recognize that the security challenges in Afghanistan are complex as a result of the decades of war, the capacity of the Afghan security forces, the presence of foreign forces and the use of socio-political complexity by offenders and drug traffickers. The security problem in Afghanistan is not easy to explain it, for example by being blamed solely for external factors and for spoilers.", "Violence and instability in Afghanistan and Pakistan are a threat. We are therefore making every possible cooperation to Afghanistan in the area of security and intelligence. A viable mechanism for such cooperation is the Tripartite Commission, which meets regularly and includes the United States and the International Security Assistance Force.", "The number of military and paramilitary personnel deployed in the border areas of Afghanistan is much higher than all international forces deployed throughout Afghanistan. Pakistan remains committed to peace in Afghanistan. If Afghanistan became the scene of the war, or its territory was used to carry out extraterritorial subversion activities, this would not be conducive to regional and international peace.", "The long-term solution to the security challenges in Afghanistan lies in the practical reconciliation and reintegration process. A peaceful Afghanistan can best ensure its security. The Secretary-General's report and the briefing of his Special Representative rightly point to the link between reconciliation and security.", "Pakistan supports an inclusive reconciliation process led by Afghanistan to mainstream opposition groups into politics. We believe that the participation of the Organization of the Islamic Conference and UNAMA in the reconciliation process will be beneficial.", "We stress the need to ensure that the newly created sanctions committees against Afghanistan effectively contribute to the containment of rebel activities and promote reconciliation in Afghanistan. It is important to ensure that this is achieved. We hope that UNAMA's cooperation with the Security Council Sanctions Committee in Afghanistan will play a significant catalytic role in increasing professional and political inputs for listing and de-listing processes.", "Pakistan will continue to assist the reconciliation process led by Afghanistan, including through the Afghanistan Joint Reconciliation and Peace Commission between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The first meeting of the Joint Committee was held in Islamabad on the eve of President Hamid Karzai's visit in August. We have both confirmed our resolve to cooperate closely to promote long-term reconciliation and peace in Afghanistan. As a follow-up to the Islamabad Conference, the first meeting of the Joint Committee took place in Kabul last week. The Meeting decided to establish a specialized working group to move forward in a responsible and practical manner. I should not be misleading that process is very positive and will yield useful results.", "Our efforts to find peace and stability in Afghanistan are in line with long-term partnerships. The head of the Washington Post reported that hundreds of armed elements had attacked a Pakistani border village from Afghanistan, causing some loss, but this would not prevent us from conducting that process. My friend's recommendation is that all peace processes will naturally come to the occurrence of such acts, and armed elements wish to prove that the peace process is not peaceful. We will not accept that.", "Despite the efforts of these cross-border armed elements to create confusion and undermine the peace process, allow me to reiterate that we will not allow that. The Islamabad Declaration, signed by President Karzai during his visit to Pakistan last month, contains an overview of the areas of trade and economic, transport connectivity and infrastructure, cooperation in energy and mineral projects, as well as strengthening parliamentary communication and civil transactions partnerships. International assistance in these areas, in particular the involvement of the business sector, can contribute to a rich regional peace and prosperity dividend.", "The Secretary-General's report points to the return of more than 19,000 refugees from Pakistan to Afghanistan over the past three months. This figure is encouraging. We need more attention to this issue. However, we are, of course, the host country of this largest refugee population in the world.", "In conclusion, I would like to reiterate our support for the goals and efforts of UNAMA, in particular the efforts of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, De Mistura. We firmly believe that the honourable people of Afghanistan will overcome all great challenges and seize new opportunities to create a better and prosperous future. Pakistan will continue to do their strong and committed partners.", "The President: I now give the floor to Mr. Pedro Sulano.", "Mr. Sulano: I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for the opportunity to speak on behalf of the European Union (EU).", "The candidate countries Turkey, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Iceland, the potential candidate countries participating in the stabilization and association process, Albania, Serbia and the European Free Trade Union member States, Norway, participated in the European Economic Zone and the Republic of Moldova and Georgia, aligning this statement.", "I would like to thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Staffan de Mistura, for his briefing and for the comprehensive report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Afghanistan and its implications for international peace and security (Speak 381). We also thank Ambassador Tanin for his statement.", "In July, the start of the transition period leading to security in Afghanistan was marked. The European Union welcomes the fact that the International Security Assistance Force will transfer security responsibilities to Afghan forces in seven areas of the country. In that regard, we are encouraged by the Secretary-General's assessment of the performance of these forces, given the focused training and capacity-building efforts. At the same time, we can see in the report an increase in insecurity, indicating that insurgents still suffer from resistance, making the transition more difficult. Security incidents increased by 51 per cent compared to the same period in 2010, which underscores the difficulty of transition. It is therefore important to recall that the transition process does not mean the withdrawal, but rather the gradual shift towards a truly supportive role and that the transition is not based on the history of the day, but rather on the circumstances. Through careful management of the transition process, we are slowly but firmly committed to the desire of the Afghan people to assume responsibility for their own security.", "The creation of conditions conducive to a successful transition throughout the country requires good governance and development and further progress on the political track. Improving governance is of great concern, and therefore the transparency and oversight of public finance and anti-corruption efforts should be a high priority.", "On the one hand, the European Union welcomes the launch of positive steps such as the Joint Independent Anti-Corruption Monitoring and Assessment Commission. On the other hand, we note the least progress in the programme on public administration and governance at all levels of the country in all priority programmes of the Kabul process. This is particularly unfortunate because, for several reasons, these programmes are also most important.", "As the Secretary-General points out, in post-transition Afghanistan, donors are increasingly working through central governments, with the direct flow of funds to local governments. In the absence of stronger and more reliable linkages with the centrality, there is no better governance at the subnational level, which will be at risk of lack of assistance.", "In the area of governance, a more direct obstacle to the allocation and allocation of funds for development is the continued failure to reach agreement with the International Monetary Fund on the consequences of the collapse of banks in Kabul. If Afghanistan assumes full responsibility for its own development, and if additional development funds are to be channelled through Afghan institutions - - President Karzai referred it as an integral part of the transition — then the banking crisis needed to be addressed. This is a matter of deep concern to the European Union and its member States, who spend more than 100 million euros annually in Afghanistan.", "In order to address the Kabul banking crisis and to implement more fully the governance and other commitments of the Kabul process, such as the modernization of the judiciary and the reform of the elections, the dispute between the Afghan administration and the Parliament is needed. In doing so, the European Union calls for a rapid and consistent separation of powers.", "Further steps towards more effective and legitimate government institutions are essential not only for development cooperation but also for progress on political tracks. Better governance will help to persuade all Afghans to resolve their differences by force in the future should no longer be an option, and the political arena should be the only battlefield.", "In this regard, the European Union welcomes the recent decision of the Security Council to separate the Al-Qaida sanctions regime from the Taliban sanctions regime, which must necessarily promote reconciliation and reintegration efforts. On the ground, these efforts led by Afghans benefit from the support of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and UNAMA continues to promote confidence-building measures through the promotion of basic services, the release of detainees and the protection of civilians. As confirmed in the report, civilians continue to be the main blow in the conflict, with 80 to 90 per cent of civilian casualties associated with anti-Government elements.", "Reconciliation should not only be led by Afghans, but also must not depart from its basic principles: against Al-Qaida, renounce violence and respect for the Constitution. The sacrifice of international law and the inalienable rights of human rights, including women's rights and religious minorities, in order to ensure peace will lead to a vibrant victory. This is not the ambitions of a Uzbek State to transform Afghanistan into a perfect place, but it is only to defend the basic values of this world organization and the European Union.", "In our recent debate on this item (S/PV.6497), when its mandate was brought to the agenda, we made a detailed statement to UNAMA. That is why, in the end of my statement today, I will be limited to the renewed European Union support for its crucial role in the transition period, including as Co-Chairs of the Joint Coordination and Monitoring Committee, which needs to be further strengthened.", "We commend Mr. Stefan de Mistura and his staff for their commitment and courage and condemn in the strongest terms the attacks against UNAMA. The United Nations has done important work for all Afghans in Afghanistan, and we strongly support its continued engagement in the field in the short and long term. In the coming new phase — a period of great opportunity but also great danger — we rely on UNAMA. However, as the Afghans have said — I hope that this is accurate — even at the highest level — there is a topway.", "The President: I give the floor to the representative of Turkey.", "Mr. Çorman (Turkey): Allow me to begin by expressing warm greetings to Ambassador Tanin and Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Dmitura. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his report (Sole 381), and to thank the Special Representative for his insightful briefing.", "We thank the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), under the effective leadership of Special Representative de Mistura, for his dedicated and excellent work in the fulfilment of his mandate, as demonstrated by the recent attack on UNAMA's resident in Mazard-Sharif on 1 April, that they face very real and serious threats. We strongly condemn and deplore this heinous attack and reiterate our condolences to the remains of the dead and to the personnel of UNAMA and the entire United Nations family.", "We also condemn the recent series of attacks by rebels on Afghanistan's objectives, which have resulted in the loss of innocent civilians. These attacks are unacceptable and hinder the efforts of the Afghan people and the international community to build peace, security and democracy.", "Afghanistan is experiencing a historic transformation period. Afghanistan's neighbours and other relevant actors within and outside the region should respect the sovereignty of Afghanistan and continue to contribute to consolidating it. The transfer of security responsibilities, peace processes and economic development is a central effort to achieve the ultimate goal of full ownership in Afghanistan. If one of these processes fail, the overall work will be lost.", "The Afghan leadership of all processes in Afghanistan is a fundamental principle. Security is a major enabling factor that will promote development, governance, the rule of law and institutional capacity-building. Over the past six months, military operations have reached unprecedented levels, but lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan can only be achieved through a political settlement. As a result, the time and space necessary for the Afghan peace process must be given to the window of opportunity for reconciliation.", "The prospects for peace in Afghanistan are more than ever, let me stress that, in order to achieve lasting peace in Afghanistan, all segments of the society must be accommodated, since the promotion of national unity is the only most important foundation and lasting peace and stability will build on that foundation. Although training of the Afghan National Security Force is essential for the completion of the transition by the end of 2014, civil capacity-building and economic sustainability will be equally important after 2014. We urge all donors to increase their contributions to the development of civilian capacities and economic viability.", "A good regional order is an indispensable pillar of peace, sovereignty, development and prosperity in Afghanistan. In turn, peace, sovereignty and prosperity in Afghanistan will be an indispensable pillar of peace and prosperity in its neighbouring areas. In that regard, we will continue to support the regional dimension discussed at the regional national conference chaired by His Excellency Mr. Ahmet Davu Olu, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Turkey, on 10 May, in Istanbul.", "Preparations for the Istanbul Conference on Afghanistan, held in Istanbul on 2 November 2011. The Working Group on Regional Cooperation of the International Contact Group, held in Istanbul and Kabul on 3 and 26 June, was useful under the joint auspices of Turkey and UNAMA, attracting broad support from the region for the upcoming Istanbul Conference.", "A series of common points have emerged. The 2002 Declaration on Friendship Relations in Kabul (S/2002/1416) was a breakthrough paper. The Istanbul Declaration on Friendship and Cooperation in Asia, 2007 (Speak70, annex), even beyond the Kabul Declaration, presented a shared regional vision, a welcome milestone.", "However, since the Istanbul Conference last year, regional work and circumstances and needs have been significant, and we hope that all of them will be able to write in a paper form and then that the participants at the Istanbul Conference will be able to sign. We know that this is what Afghanistan wants to receive from regional meetings.", "We therefore want to make the Istanbul conference a turning point at the regional level.", "We have always looked forward to the strong support of the international community, which has been emphasized in the Secretary-General's report. Before convening the Istanbul Conference on Afghanistan, we will work closely with Afghanistan, the United Nations and all other interested countries and organizations, as it will be one of the international events such as this year.", "The President: I give the floor to Special Representative de Mistura to respond to comments.", "Mr. De Mistura: I would like to make a brief comment on three points. First, I thank Council members for all comments. I also note with due regard the comments, recommendations and support of each Council member and other representative.", "Secondly, I would also like to represent more than 900 colleagues of my entire membership and to thank all participants for the very good and fervent words of my colleagues regarding the sacrifices being made by my colleagues and the unfortunate events in Mazar-e-Sharif. This is indeed helpful.", "In conclusion, I am convinced that Ambassador Tanin and I will bring to Kabul a strong signal that the international community supports, continues to be concerned and involved in Afghanistan. I think that this will help us for the months that are difficult before the Istanbul Conference and the Bonn Conference.", "The President: The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.", "The meeting rose at 1.15 p.m." ]

Mission and vision of the United Nations University", "1. In 1969, Secretary-General U Thant proposed “the establishment of a United Nations university, truly international and devoted to the Charter objectives of peace and progress”. In its annual session that year, the General Assembly authorized an expert study on the feasibility of such a university. After considering the question further at its next two annual sessions, the General Assembly approved the establishment of the United Nations University (UNU) in December 1972 and adopted the Charter of the United Nations University in December 1973 (36 years later, in December 2009, the General Assembly amended that Charter to explicitly grant UNU permission to award postgraduate degrees).", "2. Through the generosity of the Government of Japan, which provided headquarters facilities in Tokyo and contributed $100 million to establish an endowment fund, UNU was able to launch its academic work in September 1975. UNU has since grown to become a global research and teaching organization with institutes and programmes in a dozen countries worldwide (see annex II) as well as administrative and services units in Tokyo (headquarters), Bonn, Germany, Kuala Lumpur, New York and Paris. In carrying out its work, UNU maintains close cooperative relationships with other United Nations system organizations (agencies, programmes, commissions, funds and convention secretariats) as well as with leading universities and research institutes in Member States.", "3. The mission of UNU is to contribute, through collaborative research, teaching, capacity development and advisory services, to efforts to resolve the pressing global problems of human survival, development and welfare that are the concern of the United Nations, its peoples and Member States. The overarching theme of the work of UNU is “sustainability”, ensuring that today’s problems are addressed in a manner that fulfils the needs of present generations without endangering those of future generations. UNU contributes directly to the advancement of knowledge relevant to the role and work of the United Nations and to the application of that knowledge in formulating sound principles, policies, strategies and programmes for action. UNU provides open-minded fresh perspectives on the key global challenges of today and tomorrow. In particular, UNU emphasizes (a) the increasing need for advanced research and education focusing on the problems that affect developing and transitional countries and their peoples, and (b) the importance of helping those countries strengthen their capacity for self-reliant human and social development.", "4. The characteristics that set UNU apart from traditional universities and research institutions include its global structure; close collaboration with many United Nations and governmental offices; collaborative partnerships with top universities in many countries; an academic focus on problems/themes (rather than on disciplines) and on user needs; and a commitment to the concept of sustainability and to bridging the gaps between the developed and developing worlds. It is the totality of these characteristics that enables UNU to exploit its comparative advantages as both a United Nations organization and a high-level research and teaching institution.", "II. Activities and achievements in 2010", "5. The overarching goal of UNU is to contribute to global sustainable development, that is, development that will enable present generations to live in decency, safety, good health and freedom without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same. UNU employs a systems-oriented, interdisciplinary, problem-solving approach that integrates the methodology and rigour of the natural and physical sciences with the insights of the social sciences and humanities, focusing on those areas in which it has the potential to make a real contribution and bring “additionality” to the effort.", "6. The United Nations University strategic plan 2009-2012 prescribes five interdependent thematic clusters that collectively define the programme space of UNU academic activities.

"沃格特女士(以英语发言)：我谨以秘书长中非共和国问题特别代表的新身份向安理会发言，并介绍秘书长关于联合国中非共和国建设和平综合办事处(中非建和办)活动的报告(S/2011/311)。摆在安理会面前的报告叙述了今年上半年出现的主要事态发展及中非共和国人民和政府面临的建设和平挑战。报告还描述了中非建和办按照安全理事会赋予它的任务授权在支持中非共和国政府巩固和平努力方面所开展的主要活动。", "自2010年1月设立中非建和办作为一个综合建设和平办事处起，过去两年来，取得了许多成就。设立了若干个治理机构。实施了一些关键立法。新闻自由得到扩大，但最近出现了倒退，有两名记者因他们发表的文章而被捕。总体安全局势依然平静，但并不稳定，尤其在班吉以外。", "尽管取得了这些进展，但中非共和国仍然面临严重挑战。它目前受到极度贫困、国家机构薄弱、腐败、武装运动和土匪实施的暴力犯罪率高、侵犯人权行为和有罪不罚现象等问题困扰。", "正如报告指出的那样，中非建和办和联合国系统一直不遗余力地向中非共和国政府和人民及时提供综合支助，协助他们应对这些挑战。", "在目前背景下，正如秘书长的报告强调指出的那样，两项最紧迫的挑战是，在举行议会和总统选举及执行与反叛团体的和平协议之后的政治管理，以及前战斗人员的可持续解除武装和重返社会，作为总体安全部门改革的一部分。", "报告所述期间的主要事件是总统和议会选举。国际和国家观察员将选举形容为是包容与和平的，同时指出了若干违规现象。宪法法院处理了其中一些违规现象。它推翻了9个选区的选举结果，并责令其他13个选区重新选举。6月29日，领土管理部长宣布，13个选区的重新选举将在大约两个月后举行。", "组建由在任总理图瓦德拉领导的新政府在我们看来是朝着建立包容各方的内阁方向迈出的积极一步。它包含了民间社会和反对党代表，其中有6名妇女。", "政府承诺应对近期的挑战。在这方面，它宣布成立了新的专业性独立机构，来负责今后的选举和修订选举法。最近在布鲁塞尔举行的伙伴圆桌会议再次公开申明了该承诺。我认为我们应当要求他们遵守该承诺。", "由于反对派抵制选举进程，议会和其它机构均为执政党所控。这种状况对正在开展的稳定和全国和解工作造成了相当大的挑战。正如秘书长报告提到的那样，一大挑战将是政府要提供政治空间，在议会外就与国家发展相关问题与反对派接触。政府已承诺开展政治改革，包括改革选举进程，以便处理曾困扰上次选举的某些难题。中非建和办将与区域和国际伙伴密切合作，支持政府处理这些问题。", "5月份，我们看到在执行与武装运动和反叛团体达成的和平协议方面出现了一些积极情况。政府宣布打算最迟于年底针对所有战斗员开展解除武装、复员和重返社会方案。在这方面已经采取了一些具体步骤。6月12日，又采取了一项积极步骤，即争取正义与和平爱国者同盟(爱国者同盟)加入利伯维尔和平进程，并与政府签署停火协议。6月13日，人民除弊阵线(人民阵线)的乍得反叛运动领导人Baba Laddé 与乍得政府签署开始谈判的公报，以便在月内签署和平协议，放下武器并使其团体能够安全返回乍得。", "此类协议的执行工作如能开展到底，会使大约400至500名人民阵线成员得以回国。该问题是复兴民主人民军(复兴军)提出的问题之一，是其解除武装的前提条件。我们必须记住，人民阵线事实上是在中非共和国活动的一个乍得组织；而不是该国的全国性反叛团体。该协议是由中非共和国国家调解人促成的。在此，我们看到中非共和国对于努力使这些反叛团体中的某些团体回到本国起到了积极作用。", "此后，人民阵线人员与复兴军政治军事运动的人员发生冲突，在冲突过程中，人民阵线将复兴军人员劫为人质。在国家调解人进行干预后，18名人质随后于6月29日在Kagabandoro获释。成功执行该协议将部分取决于隶属人民阵线的各种团体的遵守情况。它们是否会遵守其领导人签署的协议，我们将拭目以待。", "调动人民阵线参与和平进程，是在该国西北部启动解除武装、复员和重返社会(复员方案)进程的一个重要内容。博齐泽总统和政治军事团体的领导人6月25日在博卡兰加宣布启动全国复员方案进程，当时340多名复兴军战斗人员放下了武器。政府表示打算在其它地方着手开展类似的解除武装工作，希望到年底时完成这项工作。在博卡兰加启动该工作时，国际社会特别是国际军事观察员并未给予支持，因为观察员任期在几天前刚刚到期。博齐泽总统对国际社会支持速度缓慢深表沮丧，呼吁协助整个复员方案/安全部门改革进程，但表示政府和政治军事团体均愿保障国家的安全并使人民能够恢复正常生活。", "支持复员方案和安全部门整体改革，仍是中非共和国和中非建和办的核心优先工作。我在布鲁塞尔举行的伙伴圆桌会议的外围会见了博齐泽总统和图瓦德拉总理。他们均强调了安全部门改革和复员方案在政治上的重要意义，并重申致力于执行与所有政治军事团体所签协议的条款。国际社会必须尽一切可能支持复员方案和安全部门改革，并为按时完成这些工作提供必要的资源。中非建和办、联合国国家工作队和伙伴，将与政府一道在近期对整个复员方案和安全部门改革工作进行审查。", "中非共和国位于关键冲突区的交汇处，受到刚果民主共和国和苏丹不安全局势的影响，而在苏丹应对必将伴随着新国家南苏丹的成立而出现的安全挑战时，苏丹边境两侧的不安全状况有可能加剧。中非共和国也受到越境犯罪分子的影响，他们在萨赫勒地区横行霸道，利用国家安全部队力量较弱这一点，抢夺该国领土和民众。中非共和国发生爆炸性局面，将对整个区域产生灾变影响，致使在确保邻国安全方面所作的投入付诸东流。我打算与我在该区域的同事密切合作，对这些挑战采取整体对策。", "与此同时，政府为确保西北部瓦卡加省的安全采取了重要步骤，签署了一项关于同乍得和苏丹武装部队联合开展边界巡逻的协议。该协议必须得到执行，联合巡逻必须得到国际社会的充分支持。该联合部队将在部分程度上解决反叛分子、全副武装的偷猎者和上帝抵抗军(上帝军)占领地区所存在的安全真空问题。", "在东南部，上帝军继续杀人、劫持人质和妨碍人们的正常日常生活。必须改善该国东北部安全形势， 以帮助应对日益恶化的人道主义状况。人道主义工作者正越来越多地受到武装犯罪分子的袭击。我们绝不能允许邻近的达尔富尔某些地区的犯罪行为成为中非共和国的样板。", "在努力确保中非人安全和巩固和平的同时，还必须促进善政和法治。政府必须将其权力扩大到每个地区，向所有公民提供卫生和教育服务，同时努力创造经济机会。", "秘书长非常关切的另一个问题是保护妇女和儿童问题。需要做更多工作，来防止性剥削以及促进儿童和妇女的权利。我们还必须确保制止征召和使用儿童兵的做法，以及从更大范围来说，努力确保儿童权利得到尊重和落实。我打算在我的办公室内成立一个保护科，以帮助协调这些问题，这也符合我们在授权中对其给予的重视。", "我愿强调，必须推动全国各地尊重人权的风气。必须采取具体步骤，处理影响执法机构的腐败和普遍存在的有罪不罚现象。必须支持政府加强司法体系，以杜绝暴民惩罚。从积极的角度来看，政府最近允许中非建和办进入监狱和拘留中心。而且，预计不久后还将成立一个独立的全国人权委员会。", "在布鲁塞尔召开的伙伴圆桌会议上，中非共和国政府提出了2015年12月以前期间的第二份减贫战略文件。该会议很大程度上是在格罗斯大使的努力下召开的，我愿正式指出，他本人亲自介入以确保会议顺利进行对于该项工作取得成功至关重要。该文件概述了政府巩固和平的战略与方案，其中包括善治、法治、社会服务和经济发展等。我鼓励传统伙伴和新伙伴们为第二份减贫战略文件中所载的方案提供财政支助。", "展望未来，主要挑战将是确保继续支持中非共和国巩固和平的努力，特别是支持政治对话、复员方案以及安全部门改革的努力。我愿感谢安理会和建设和平委员会各成员、联合国大家庭和特别是我的前任佐迪秘书长特别代表，以及其它所有坚定不移支持中非共和国的伙伴们。", "主席(以英语发言)：我感谢沃格特女士的通报。", "我现在请格罗斯先生发言。", "格罗斯先生(比利时)(以法语发言)：主席先生，我感谢你允许我以建设和平委员会中非共和国国别组合主席的身份向安全理事会发言。首先，我愿赞扬前任负责中非共和国秘书长特别代表萨赫勒-沃克·祖德女士努力支持该国的建设和平进程。我还愿借此机会，祝愿新任秘书长特别代表兼驻班吉的联合国中非共和国建设和平综合办事处(中非建和办)主任沃格特女士取得圆满成功。我已经感到能与她共事将是我的荣幸。", "首先，我愿详细通告安理会建设和平委员会过去6个月来的主要活动，然后再通告国别组合在今后数月将采取的优先行动。", "请允许我先谈一下过去6个月的活动。我们组合在不忽略其它部门的同时，主要侧重于选举进程和3周前在布鲁塞尔召开的伙伴圆桌会议的筹备工作。关于选举，建设和平委员会从一开始就在调动捐助者方面发挥了重要作用。正因付出这些努力，才得以填补选举预算中750万美元的缺口。", "此外，委员会还通过中非建和办为参与筹备选举的一些行为体，包括独立选举委员会、政府以及反对派提供了建议。建议中还涵盖了将针对主要是在首轮议会选举中发现的不合规定之处采取的措施。有鉴于此，反对党联盟抵制第二轮议会选举是令人尤感遗憾的事件。", "我愿提请安理会注意5月18日中非共和国政府在班吉向国民议会提出的政策声明。安理会应研究这份文件，因为它载有应在此回顾的极为重要的政治承诺。政府已特别承诺在2011年年底前完成反叛分子的解除武装、复员和重返社会；打击腐败；加强治理和法治；并修订2009年的选举法和成立永久性的独立秘书处来负责未来的选举。委员会相信，中非共和国当局将不加延误地履行这些政治承诺。", "选举进程结束后，中非共和国政府和建设和平委员会在联合国开发计划署、世界银行和非洲开发银行的支助下，于6月16日和17日在布鲁塞尔召开了一个伙伴圆桌会议。非洲联盟委员会主席让·平先生决定专程前往布鲁塞尔参加圆桌会议。约160位与会者代表了30个国家的政府和35个国际、区域和次区域组织；观察员则代表了中非共和国民间社会、国际非政府组织和私营部门。对于像中非共和国这样一个被遗忘的国家来说，与会者人数之多确实前所未有。", "圆桌会议的主要目的是让伙伴们了解第二代减贫战略文件中的优先事项。这份出色的文件是中非当局在世界银行的技术协助下编写的。", "中非共和国的发展需求显然依然巨大。圆桌会议与会者们发出的信息非常清楚。他们都鼓励国家当局在第二个减贫战略文件中界定优先行动领域，侧重于恢复该国稳定的措施，并特别针对弱势人口。大家都明白，这项活动只是在加强与现有伙伴的联系并与广大潜在新伙伴建立新联系这一漫长道路上迈出的第一步。自然，委员会将与中非当局合作，确保有针对性地后续执行圆桌会议的工作。", "我还欢迎秘书长特别代表提及的在圆桌会议前数周和数日出现的若干决定性事态发展。这包括与唯一没有签署2008年利伯维尔和平协定的反叛团体争取正义与和平爱国者同盟签署了停火协议；中非共和国、乍得和苏丹签署了应有助于稳定该国东北部局势的三方协议；以及，在民族和解方面取得的进一步进展。", "现在我想展望一下未来。如秘书长特别代表也已指出的那样，今后工作中的主要优先事项之一将是安全部门改革。在这方面，我欣见新任秘书长特别代表已经把支持中非共和国政府制定一项国家安全部门改革战略作为中非建和办的优先事项。在布鲁塞尔举行的圆桌会议上提交的现有安全部门改革项目清单，仍然需要由一项在2008年4月安全部门改革国家研讨会上草拟的战略来确定优先顺序并提供指导。在今后几个月中，委员会将把重点放在开始推行有效的安全部门改革上。", "善治、法治和司法改革也将成为我们今后一年中建设和平优先事项的一部分。联合国开发计划署已开始执行一项多年期方案，必须完成和完善这一方案。对自然资源进行透明的管理是急需关注的一个问题，以便增加国家收入，并且鼓励私人投资。就建设和平委员会而言，委员会将努力动员现有和潜在的伙伴支持建设和平项目。", "在结束发言前，我还要强调一个对我个人和对安理会主席国德国来说都很重要的问题，即中非共和国冲突地区妇女和儿童的状况。在一些地区，情况依然严重。在我上一次于4月份访问班吉期间，我有机会强调了建立一个儿童与武装冲突问题报告与监测机制的紧迫性。一回到纽约，我就向由主席先生你担任主席的安全理事会儿童与武装冲突问题工作组作了通报。我鼓励负责儿童与武装冲突及冲突中性暴力问题的秘书长特别代表今年再次访问中非共和国，以便评估实地局势。我要再次指出，实地局势依然令人非常不安，应当受到不仅委员会，而且还有安理会的充分重视。", "主席(以英语发言)：我感谢格罗斯先生的通报。", "我现在请中非共和国代表发言。", "杜巴纳先生(中非共和国)(以法语发言)：主席先生，我谨代表中非共和国政府祝贺你担任安全理事会本月份主席。令我们感到鼓舞的是，贵国致力于支持因各种暴力而遭到削弱的国家努力寻求和平、稳定与发展，我也赞扬你致力于处理冲突中妇女与儿童的问题。", "我谨代表中非共和国，再次祝贺秘书长成功连任我们这个共同组织领导人，这使他能够继续开展、巩固以及完成在他第一个任期内开始的许多项目。我们也注意到刚才介绍的其5月16日关于中非共和国政治、安全、社会和经济情况以及联合国中非共和国建设和平综合办事处活动的报告(S/2011/311)。考虑到目前在国内和国际上关系重大，这份确实全面详尽的报告提交得正是时候。", "在这里，我要向秘书长特别代表玛格丽特·沃格特女士表示感谢和深切的敬意，她清晰、深刻、特别是简明扼要地作了通报。我还必须感谢她的前任萨赫勒-沃克·祖德女士，她在今年1月选举之前、期间以及之后，在艰苦和非同寻常的环境下娴熟地领导了特派团。", "我们看到，在举行这些选举之后出现了一系列令人鼓舞的事件。报告提到了这些事件，它们值得重提一下。这些事件包括宪法法院部分撤销了国民议会的四分之一席位和三周前在布鲁塞尔举行的中非共和国捐助方圆桌会议。这些事件还包括组建了中非共和国政府和通过了得到议会核可的总体政策宣言；举行了苏丹、乍得与中非共和国的三方首脑会议；与仍未加入《利伯维尔和平协议》的最后一个叛乱团体——“争取正义与和平爱国者同盟”——签署了停火协议；一个外国政治军事运动团体即将返回其所属国；以及解除武装、复员和重返社会进程启动。", "我们中非共和国人相信，通过所有利益攸关方的协议、努力及合作，这些事件让我们对恢复和平抱有希望。它们是恢复和平的明显迹象，也是持久复原的基本要素。中非共和国总统及其政府将竭尽全力，根据包容各方的政治对话提出的建议，与政治行为体和民间社会保持对话。总统和政府下决心推行解除武装、复员和重返社会进程。该进程从现在起应当与安全部门改革方案相辅相成，以求切实有效地重组国防和安全部队。在我的脆弱国家中，和平弥足珍贵，而且，巩固民主成果需要和平。", "要执行这些措施，就必须继续与我们的双边和多边伙伴、特别是联合国协调，尤其是通过建设和平委员会，在委员会的中非共和国国别组合中这样做。该国别组合由格罗斯大使干练地主持，我们非常尊重他，并且要在这里赞扬他。", "中非共和国最高当局最大限度地致力于执行报告提出的各项建议。不过，我们要提醒大家，在准确评估位于非洲大陆中心的中非共和国局势时，需要把内部和外部因素都考虑进去，令人欣慰的是，在这方面已经这样做了。有关上帝抵抗军的情况就是一个很好的例子，这是一个来自并非我们邻国的凶残野蛮的叛乱团体。上帝抵抗军犯下暴行、进行破坏、劫掠、强制征兵，以及驱逐男人、妇女和儿童出境，这要求通过全面发动力量和共同资源，一劳永逸地铲除这个团体。", "正因为如此，尽管我们承认，联合国和非洲联盟在这个问题上采取的举措非常宝贵，但中非共和国对在48小时之后将创建一个新邻国——尽管这会产生可预见的后果——寄予厚望，创建一个新邻国将彻底推翻某些原则，并且改变该地区的地理组成，我们依然坚信，这个国家将与我们一起不懈地努力打击一个跨境敌人，这个敌人居心叵测，企图扰乱次区域发展不可或缺的安定局面。", "最后，我国将一如既往，无一例外地继续与各国合作。有的时候，有辨别能力的朋友和观察家——他们对中非共和国问题感到厌倦是有道理的——质疑中非共和国是否有复原、或者仅仅是向前推进的意愿和能力。", "中非共和国的情况绝非无望，它的失败更是远非定局。它以有限的资源不懈努力，尽力站稳脚跟。它在努力建设法治。我的国家每天努力当好人民的父母官，我们的人民只想在和平的环境中安居乐业。", "中非共和国向国际社会表示其道不尽的感激之情，我国有幸成为国际社会的一部分，总是获得它坚定不移和多种形式的支助，并且我国希望在这一艰苦的进程中能够依靠国际社会。", "主席(以英语发言)：我的名单上没有其他发言者了。我现在请安理会成员进行非正式磋商，以便继续讨论这个问题。", "上午10时50分散会。" ]

The report before the Council provides an account of the main developments during the first half of this year and the peacebuilding challenges that lie ahead for the people of the Central African Republic and its Government. It also describes the main activities of BINUCA in support of the Government’s peace consolidation efforts in accordance with the mandate entrusted to it by the Security Council.", "Much has been accomplished over the last two years, since the establishment of BINUCA as an integrated peacebuilding office in January 2010. A number of governance institutions have been established, and some key legislation has been instituted. Freedom of the press has been expanded, despite recent setbacks, when two journalists were arrested for articles they had published. The overall security situation remains calm but is unstable, especially outside of Bangui.", "Despite these advances, the Central African Republic still faces serious challenges. It is afflicted with extreme poverty, weak national institutions, corruption, a high rate of violent crime perpetrated by armed movements and brigands, human rights violations and impunity.", "As noted in the report, BINUCA and the United Nations system have spared no effort in providing timely and integrated support to the Government and the people of the Central African Republic in addressing those challenges.", "In the current context, and as the Secretary-General’s report highlights, the two most immediate challenges are the political dispensation following the legislative and presidential elections and the implementation of peace agreements with rebel groups, and the sustainable disarmament and reintegration of former combatants, as part of the overall security sector reform.", "The reporting period was dominated by the presidential and legislative elections. International and national observers characterized the elections as inclusive and peaceful while noting a number of irregularities. The Constitutional Court has addressed some of these irregularities by overturning results in nine electoral districts and ordering a rerun in 13 others. On 29 June, the Minister for Territorial Administration announced that the 13 by-elections would be held in approximately two months.", "The composition of a new Government, headed by incumbent Prime Minister Touadera, is a positive step, in our view, towards the establishment of an inclusive cabinet. It comprises representatives of civil society and the opposition parties, including six women.", "The Government has pledged to address immediate challenges. In this regard, it announced the establishment of a new, professional and independent body to manage future elections and the revision of the electoral code. This commitment was again publicly stated at the recent partners’ roundtable in Brussels. I believe that we should hold them to this promise.", "As a result of the boycott of the electoral process by the opposition, the Parliament and other institutions are dominated by the ruling party. This situation constitutes a considerable challenge to ongoing efforts towards stability and national reconciliation. As mentioned in the Secretary-General’s report, a major challenge would be for the Government to provide political space and engage the opposition outside the Parliament on issues related to the development of the country. The Government has committed itself to undertaking political reforms, including of the electoral process, to address some of the difficulties that plagued the last elections. BINUCA will work closely with regional and international partners to support the Government in addressing these issues.", "In May, we witnessed positive developments on the implementation of the peace agreements with armed movements and rebel groups. The Government announced its intention to disarm, demobilize and reintegrate all combatants by the end of the year. Concrete steps have been taken in this regard. On 12 June, in another positive step, the Convention des patriotes pour la justice et la paix (CPJP) joined the Libreville peace process and signed a ceasefire agreement with the Government. On 13 June, Baba Laddé, the Chadian rebel leader of the Front populaire pour le redressement (FPR), signed a communiqué with the Chadian Government to start negotiations with a view to signing a peace agreement within a month to lay down its arms and for the safe passage of his group back to Chad.", "The implementation of such an agreement, if followed through, could lead to the repatriation to Chad of about 400-500 elements of the FPR, which is one of the issues raised by the Armée populaire pour la restauration de la démocratie (APRD) as a precondition to disarm. We have to remember that the FPR is really a Chadian group operating in the Central African Republic; it is not a national rebel group of that country. This agreement was facilitated by the National Mediator of the Central African Republic. Here, we see the Central African Republic playing a positive role in trying to get some of these rebel groups back to their countries.", "There were subsequently clashes between elements of the FPR and the APRD politico-military movement, in the course of which APRD hostages were taken by the FPR. Eighteen hostages were subsequently released on 29 June in Kagabandoro following the intervention of the National Mediator. The successful implementation of this agreement will partially depend on the compliance of the disparate groups that belong to the FPR. We shall see whether they will follow what their leaders sign.", "Bringing the FPR into a peace process is an important element in unblocking the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) process in the north-west of the country. President Bozizé and the leaders of the politico-military groups announced the launch of a national DDR process on 25 June in Bocaranga, and over 340 APRD combatants were disarmed on that occasion. The Government indicated its intention to proceed with similar disarmament exercises in other locations in the hope of completing the process by the end of the year. The launch at Bocaranga was conducted without the support of the international community, and especially without international military observers, as the mandate of the observers had expired just days before the event. President Bozizé, expressing great frustration with the slow pace of support by the international community, has appealed for assistance for the entire DDR/security sector reform (SSR) processes, but argues that both the Government and the politico-military groups were ready to secure their country and to enable the people to resume their normal lives.", "Support to DDR and overall security sector reform remains a core priority for the Central African Republic and BINUCA. I met with President Bozizé and Prime Minister Touadera in the margins of the partners’ roundtable meeting held in Brussels. They both emphasized the political importance of SSR and DDR, and restated their commitment to implementing the terms of the agreements signed with all politico-military groups. It is imperative that the international community do everything possible to support the DDR and SSR processes and to provide the necessary resources for their timely completion. BINUCA, the United Nations country team and partners, along with the Government, will undertake a review of the overall DDR and SSR processes in the near future.", "The Central African Republic is at the crossroads of critical conflict zones, impacted by insecurity from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Sudan, with the possibility of an upsurge of insecurity across the Sudanese border as that country grapples with security challenges that will necessarily attend the creation of the new State of Southern Sudan. The Central African Republic also suffers from cross-border criminal elements roaming the Sahel and exploiting the weak ability of the national security forces to secure the Republic’s territory and people. An implosion in the Central African Republic would have cataclysmic impact throughout the region, negating investments made in securing the neighbouring countries. I intend to work closely with my colleagues in the region to provide a holistic response to these challenges.", "In the meantime, the Government has taken an important step to secure the north-eastern Vakaga province by signing an agreement for joint border patrols with Chadian and Sudanese security forces. It is important that this agreement be implemented and that the joint patrols receive adequate support from the international community. This joint force will partially address the security vacuum in areas occupied by rebels, heavily armed poachers and the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).", "In the south-east, the LRA continues to kill, take hostages and impede normal daily life. Security needs to be improved in the north-eastern part of the country to help address the deteriorating humanitarian situation. Humanitarian workers are coming under increasing attacks from armed criminals. We must not allow the criminality in certain parts of neighbouring Darfur to become a model for the Central African Republic.", "Efforts to provide security for Central Africans and consolidate peace must be complemented by the promotion of good governance and the rule of law. The Government must extend its authority into each of the regions and provide health and education services to all of its citizens as it works to create economic opportunities.", "Another subject of great concern to the Secretary-General is the protection of women and children. More needs to be done to prevent sexual exploitation and to promote children’s and women’s rights. We must also ensure that we put an end to the recruitment and use of child soldiers, and more broadly work to see that children’s rights are respected and enforced. I intend to establish a protection unit within my office to help coordinate these issues, as befits the importance attached to them in our mandate.", "I would like to highlight the need for the promotion of a culture in which human rights are respected throughout the country. Concrete steps must be taken to tackle corruption and the pervasive impunity affecting law enforcement institutions. The Government must be supported in strengthening the judicial system to end mob justice. On a positive note, the Government recently granted BINUCA access to prisons and detention centres. Also, an independent national human rights commission is expected to be established shortly.", "The Government of the Central African Republic presented its second Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) for the period leading up to December 2015 at the partners’ round table that was held in Brussels. That conference was held largely due to the efforts of Ambassador Grauls, and I wish to put on record that his personal engagement in seeing that meeting through was instrumental to the success of that effort. The document outlines the Government’s strategy and programme towards peace consolidation, including good governance, rule of law, social services and economic development. I encourage traditional and new partners to financially support the programmes contained in the second PRSP.", "Looking ahead, the main challenge would be to ensure continued support to peace consolidation efforts in the Central African Republic, in particular to efforts towards political dialogue, DDR and SSR. I would like to thank the members of the Council and of the Peacebuilding Commission, the United Nations family and especially my predecessor, Special Representative of the Secretary-General Zewde and all other partners who have been so steadfast in their support of the Central African Republic.", "The President: I thank Ms. Vogt for her briefing.", "I now give the floor to Mr. Grauls.", "Mr. Grauls (spoke in French): I thank you, Sir, for permitting me to address the Security Council in my capacity as Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission country-specific configuration for the Central African Republic. First, I would like to pay tribute to Ms. Sahle-Work Zewde, the former Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the Central African Republic, for her efforts to support the peacebuilding process in the country. I would like also to take this opportunity to wish Ms. Vogt every success as the new Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in the Central African Republic (BINUCA) in Bangui. I already feel that it will be a privilege to work with her.", "At the outset, I wish to inform the Council in detail of the main activities of the Peacebuilding Commission over the past six months, and then of the priority actions to be undertaken by the country-specific configuration in the coming months.", "Let me turn first to the activities of the past six months. Without losing sight of other sectors, our configuration focused mainly on the electoral process and preparations for the partners’ round table that was held in Brussels three weeks ago. With respect to the elections, the Peacebuilding Commission played an important role from the outset in mobilizing donors. As a result of those efforts, it has been possible to overcome the $7.5 million shortfall in the electoral budget.", "Moreover, the Commission provided advice through BINUCA to some of the actors involved in preparing the elections, including the Independent Electoral Commission, the Government and the opposition. The recommendations also covered measures to be taken with respect to irregularities noted in large part during the first round of parliamentary elections. In the light of that, the boycott of the second round of the parliamentary elections by a coalition of opposition parties was a particularly regrettable incident.", "I wish to draw the Council’s attention to the policy statement presented by the Government of the Central African Republic to the National Assembly in Bangui on 18 May. This communication should be studied by the Council because it contains extremely important political engagements that should be recalled here. The Government has committed itself, notably, to complete the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of rebels before the end of 2011; to combat corruption; to bolster governance and the rule of law; and to revise the 2009 electoral code and to establish a permanent and independent secretariat responsible for future elections. The Commission trusts that the Central African authorities will not tarry in implementing these political commitments.", "After the conclusion of the election process, the Government of the Central African Republic and the Peacebuilding Commission organized in Brussels on 16 and 17 June a round table of partners, with the support of the United Nations Development Programme, the World Bank and the African Development Bank. The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Mr. Jean Ping, decided to travel expressly to Brussels to attend the round table. Approximately 160 participants represented some 30 Governments and 35 international, regional and subregional organizations; observers represented Central African civil society, international non‑governmental organizations and the private sector. For a forgotten country such as the Central African Republic, this was truly an unprecedented number of participants.", "The main purpose of the round table was to make partners aware of the priorities of the second-generation Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP). This excellent document was drawn up by the Central African authorities with the technical assistance of the World Bank.", "Development needs obviously remain vast in the Central African Republic. The message of the participants at the round table was very clear. They all encouraged the national authorities to define priority areas for action in the second PRSP and to focus on measures to restore stability in the country and to target vulnerable populations in particular. It was clear to all that this event was but a first step on a long road intended to strengthen links with existing partners and to develop new ones from a broad spectrum of potential new partners. Naturally, the Commission, cooperating with the Central African authorities, will ensure a targeted follow-up to the work of the round table.", "I also welcome a number of decisive developments in the weeks and days prior to the round table to which the Special Representative of the Secretary-General has already referred. These include the signing of a ceasefire agreement with the Convention des patriotes pour la justice et la paix, the only remaining rebel group that did not sign the 2008 Libreville peace accords; the signing of a tripartite agreement among the Central African Republic, Chad and the Sudan that should contribute to stabilizing the situation in the north-east of the country; and further progress towards national reconciliation.", "I would now like to turn towards the future. One of the main priorities for the road ahead will be security sector reform, as the Special Representative of the Secretary-General has also noted. Here I welcome the fact that the new Special Representative of the Secretary-General has made support for the Government in creating a strategy for national security sector reform (SSR) a priority for BINUCA. The list of existing SSR projects, as presented at the round table in Brussels, still needs to be prioritized and guided by a strategy, such as was sketched out during the national seminar on security sector reform in April 2008. In the coming months, the Commission will focus on getting effective SSR under way.", "The areas of good governance, the rule of law and judicial reform will also be part of our peacebuilding priorities for the coming year. The United Nations Development Programme has already begun implementing a multi-year programme that must be completed and refined. Transparent management of natural resources is an issue that requires urgent attention in order to generate increased State revenue and encourage private investment. For its part, the Commission will pursue its efforts to mobilize the support of existing and potential partners for peacebuilding projects.", "Before concluding, I would also like to emphasize an issue that is important both to me personally and to the German presidency of the Council — the situation of women and children in areas of conflict in the Central African Republic. That situation is still very serious in some areas. During my last visit to Bangui in April, I had the opportunity to stress the urgency of setting up a reporting and monitoring mechanism for children and armed conflict. On my return to New York, I briefed the Security Council’s Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict, which you chair, Mr. President. I encouraged the Special Representatives of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict and on Sexual Violence in Conflict to again visit the Central African Republic this year in order to assess the situation on the ground, which, I reiterate, remains very worrying and deserves the full attention not only of the Commission but also of the Council.", "The President: I thank Mr. Grauls for his briefing.", "I now give the floor to the representative of the Central African Republic.", "Mr. Doubane (Central African Republic) (spoke in French): On behalf of the Government of the Central African Republic, I would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council this month. We are encouraged by your country’s commitment to supporting States weakened by violence of every kind in their quest for peace, stability and development. I also commend you for your commitment to the issue of women and children in conflict.", "On behalf of the Central African Republic, I again congratulate the Secretary-General on his successful re-election as head of our shared Organization, enabling him to continue, consolidate and complete the many projects begun during his first term. We also take note of his report of 16 May (S/2011/311), which has just been introduced, on the political, security and social and economic situation in the Central African Republic, as well as the activities of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office there. That virtually exhaustive report comes at the right moment, considering what is currently at stake both nationally and internationally.", "Here I would like to thank and express our deep respect for Ms. Margaret Vogt, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, for the clarity, depth and above all the concision of her briefing. I cannot fail to include in our thanks her predecessor, Ms. Sahle-Work Zewde, who in difficult and unusual circumstances skilfully led her mission before, during and after the elections last January.", "We have witnessed a series of encouraging events since those elections, as has already been mentioned and which is worth repeating. These range from the Constitutional Court’s partial cancellation of a quarter of the National Assembly seats, to the round table for Central African Republic donors held in Brussels three weeks ago. They also include the formation of the Government and its general policy statement, affirmed by the Parliament; the tripartite Sudan-Chad-Central African Republic summit; the signing of a ceasefire agreement with the Convention des patriotes pour la justice et la paix, the last rebel group remaining outside the Libreville peace accords; the imminent return to its own country of a foreign politico-military movement; and the start of the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) process.", "We in the Central African Republic are certain that these events, with the agreement, efforts and cooperation of all stakeholders, offer hope of a return to peace. They are visible signs of that return to peace and essential factors in a lasting recovery. The President of the Republic and his Government will do their utmost to maintain dialogue with the political players and civil society, as was recommended in the inclusive political dialogue. They are determined to pursue the DDR process, which from now on should be coupled with the security sector reform programme with the aim of restructuring the defence and security forces effectively. In my fragile nation, peace is priceless, and any consolidation of democratic gains requires it.", "If these measures are to be achieved, they must of course continue in coordination with our bilateral and multilateral partners, particularly the United Nations through the Peacebuilding Commission in its Central African Republic country-specific configuration, chaired in masterly fashion by Ambassador Grauls, whom we hold in great esteem and whom I would like to commend here.", "While they are committed, to the extent possible, to carrying out the report’s recommendations, the highest Central African authorities recall nevertheless that, in an accurate assessment of the situation in the Central African Republic — which lies at the very heart of the African continent — requires internal and", "external factors alike to be taken into account, as, thankfully, has been done here. The situation with regard to the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), a cruel, barbarous rebel group from a non-bordering country, is a perfect example. The LRA’s atrocities, destruction, pillaging, forced conscription and deportation of men, women and children have made it deserving of eradication once and for all through the comprehensive mobilization of efforts and shared resources.", "That is why, while recognizing the full value of the United Nations and African Union initiatives on this issue, the Central African Republic vests great hope in the creation, within the next 48 hours, of a new bordering State that will drastically overturn certain principles and alter the geography of the area, albeit with foreseeable consequences. We remain convinced that that State will join us in our tireless struggle against a cross-border enemy with nebulous ambitions that disturb the tranquillity essential to the development of the subregion.", "In conclusion, as it has done in the past, my country will continue to cooperate with all States without exception. At times, discerning friends and observers, justifiably weary of the issue of the Central African Republic, question its will and its ability to recover or merely to move forward.", "The Central African Republic is definitely not a hopeless case; its failure is even less a foregone conclusion. With its limited means and working tirelessly, it is fighting to remain on its feet. It is fighting to build the rule of law. My State is fighting daily to remain a good father to its population, which aspires only to live and prosper in peace.", "The Central African Republic expresses its undying gratitude to the international community of which it is fortunate to be a part, whose unwavering and many forms of support have never failed it, and on which it hopes to be able to rely throughout this painstaking process.", "The President: There are no further speakers on my list. I now invite Council members to informal consultations in order to continue our discussion on this subject.", "The meeting rose at 10.50 a.m." ]

The report before the Council describes the main developments that have taken place during the first half of this year and the peacebuilding challenges facing the people and Government of the Central African Republic. The report also describes the main activities undertaken by BINUCA in support of the peace consolidation efforts of the Government of the Central African Republic, in accordance with the mandate given to it by the Security Council.", "Since the establishment of BINUCA as an integrated peacebuilding office in January 2010, much has been achieved over the past two years. Several governance institutions have been established. Some key legislation has been implemented. Freedom of the press had expanded, but there had recently been a setback, with two journalists arrested for their articles. The overall security situation remained calm but unstable, particularly outside Bangui.", "Despite that progress, the Central African Republic continues to face serious challenges. It is currently plagued by extreme poverty, weak State institutions, corruption, high rates of violent crime perpetrated by armed movements and bandits, human rights violations and impunity.", "As noted in the report, BINUCA and the United Nations system have spared no effort in providing timely and integrated support to the Government and people of the Central African Republic in addressing these challenges.", "In the current context, as highlighted in the Secretary-General's report, two of the most pressing challenges are political management following the holding of parliamentary and presidential elections and the implementation of peace agreements with rebel groups, as well as the sustainable disarmament and reintegration of ex-combatants as part of the overall security sector reform.", "The main events during the reporting period were the presidential and parliamentary elections. International and national observers described the elections as inclusive and peaceful, while noting a number of irregularities. Some of these violations were addressed by the Constitutional Court. It overturned the results of the elections in 9 constituencies and ordered the re-election of 13 other constituencies. On 29 June, the Minister of Territorial Administration announced that re-elections for 13 constituencies would take place in approximately two months.", "The formation of a new Government, led by incumbent Prime Minister Touadera, is, in our view, a positive step towards the establishment of an all-inclusive Cabinet. It includes representatives of civil society and opposition parties, including six women.", "The Government is committed to addressing the challenges of the near future. In that regard, it had announced the establishment of a new professional independent body responsible for the future elections and the revision of the electoral law. That commitment was publicly reaffirmed at the recent Partners Round Table in Brussels. I think we should ask them to honour that commitment.", "The opposition boycotted the electoral process, and both Parliament and other institutions were controlled by the ruling party. This situation poses considerable challenges to the ongoing stabilization and national reconciliation efforts. As mentioned in the Secretary-General's report, a major challenge will be for the Government to provide political space to engage with the opposition outside Parliament on issues related to national development. The Government has committed itself to political reform, including the electoral process, in order to address some of the difficulties that have plagued the last elections. BINUCA will work closely with regional and international partners to support the Government in addressing these issues.", "In May, we saw some positive developments in the implementation of peace agreements with armed movements and rebel groups. The Government announced its intention to launch a disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme for all combatants by the end of the year. Some concrete steps have been taken in this regard. On 12 June, another positive step was taken, namely, the accession of the Convention des patriotes pour la justice et la paix (CPJP) to the Libreville peace process and the signing of a ceasefire agreement with the Government. On 13 June, Baba Laddé, leader of the Chadian rebel movement of the Front populaire pour la justice (FPI), signed a communiqué with the Government of Chad to begin negotiations with a view to signing a peace agreement, laying down arms and enabling their groups to return safely to Chad within the month.", "The implementation of such agreements, if completed, would allow some 400 to 500 members of the Popular Front to return home. This is one of the issues raised by the People's Army for the Restoration of Democracy (APRD) and is a prerequisite for its disarmament. We must remember that the Popular Front is in fact a Chadian organization operating in the Central African Republic; not a national rebel group in that country. The agreement was facilitated by the National Mediator of the Central African Republic. Here, we see that the Central African Republic has played a positive role in efforts to bring some of these rebel groups back to their countries.", "Since then, FPR elements have clashed with members of the APR political-military movement, during which FPR elements were taken hostage. Following the intervention of the national mediator, 18 hostages were subsequently released on 29 June in Kagabandoro. The successful implementation of the agreement will depend in part on compliance by various groups affiliated with the Popular Front. We will see whether they will abide by the agreements signed by their leaders.", "The involvement of the Popular Front in the peace process is an important element in the initiation of the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) process in the north-west of the country. On 25 June, President Bozizé and the leader of the political-military group announced the launch of the national disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process in Bocaranga, when more than 340 APR combatants laid down their weapons. The Government has expressed its intention to proceed with similar disarmament elsewhere and hopes to complete it by the end of the year. The international community, and international military observers in particular, did not lend their support when the exercise was launched in Bocaranga, as their mandate had just expired a few days earlier. President Bozizé expressed deep frustration at the slow pace of international support and called for assistance to the entire DDR/SSR process, but expressed the willingness of the Government and the political and military groups to guarantee the security of the country and enable the population to resume normal life.", "Support for DDR and overall security sector reform remains a core priority for the Central African Republic and BINUCA. I met with President Bozizé and Prime Minister Touadera on the sidelines of the Partners Round Table in Brussels. They stressed the political importance of security sector reform and disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and reaffirmed their commitment to implementing the terms of agreements with all politico-military groups. The international community must do everything possible to support disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and security sector reform and provide the necessary resources to complete them on time. BINUCA, the United Nations country team and partners will work with the Government to undertake a review of the entire DDR and security sector reform process in the near future.", "The Central African Republic, at the crossroads of key conflict zones, is affected by insecurity in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Sudan, which is likely to increase on both sides of the Sudanese border as the Sudan addresses the security challenges that will inevitably accompany the establishment of the new State of South Sudan. The Central African Republic has also been affected by cross-border criminal elements who have taken advantage of the weakness of the national security forces and usurped the territory and the population of the country through their rampage in the Sahel region. An explosive situation in the Central African Republic will have a devastating effect on the entire region, leading to the loss of investment in ensuring the security of neighbouring countries. I intend to work closely with my colleagues in the region to address these challenges in a holistic manner.", "In the meantime, the Government has taken important steps to ensure security in the Vakaga province in the north-west by signing an agreement on joint border patrols with Chad and the Sudanese Armed Forces. That agreement must be implemented and joint patrols must be fully supported by the international community. The joint force will partially address the security vacuum in the areas occupied by rebels, heavily armed poachers and the Lord ' s Resistance Army (LRA).", "In the south-east, LRA continues to kill, take hostages and impede the normal daily lives of people. The security situation in the north-eastern part of the country must be improved to help address the deteriorating humanitarian situation. Humanitarian workers are increasingly being attacked by armed criminals. We must not allow criminal acts in certain parts of neighbouring Darfur to become a model for the Central African Republic.", "Efforts to ensure human security and consolidate peace in Central Africa must be accompanied by the promotion of good governance and the rule of law. The Government must extend its authority to every region to provide health and education services to all citizens while working to create economic opportunities.", "Another issue of great concern to the Secretary-General is the protection of women and children. More needs to be done to prevent sexual exploitation and to promote the rights of children and women. We must also ensure that the recruitment and use of child soldiers are brought to an end and, more generally, that efforts are made to ensure that children's rights are respected and implemented. I intend to establish a Protection Section within my Office to help coordinate these issues, which is also in line with the importance we attach to them in our mandate.", "I would like to stress the importance of promoting a culture of respect for human rights throughout the country. Concrete steps must be taken to address corruption and widespread impunity affecting law enforcement agencies. The Government must be supported in strengthening the justice system in order to end mob justice. On a positive note, the Government recently granted BINUCA access to prisons and detention centres. Furthermore, an independent national human rights commission is expected to be established shortly.", "At the Partners Round Table in Brussels, the Government of the Central African Republic presented its second poverty reduction strategy paper for the period up to December 2015. The meeting was convened to a large extent thanks to the efforts of Ambassador Grauls, and I would like to place on record that his personal involvement to ensure the smooth running of the meeting is essential to the success of that work. The document outlines the Government ' s strategies and programmes for peace consolidation, including good governance, rule of law, social services and economic development. I encourage traditional and new partners to provide financial support for the programmes contained in the second poverty reduction strategy paper.", "Looking ahead, the main challenge will be to ensure continued support for peace consolidation efforts in the Central African Republic, in particular for political dialogue, DDR and security sector reform. I would like to thank the members of the Council and of the Peacebuilding Commission, the United Nations family and, in particular, my predecessor, Special Representative of the Secretary-General Zodi, as well as all other partners who have steadfastly supported the Central African Republic.", "The President: I thank Ms. Vogt for her briefing.", "I now give the floor to Mr. Grauls.", "Mr. Grauls (Belgium) (spoke in French): I thank you, Mr. President, for allowing me to address the Security Council in my capacity as Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission's country-specific configuration on the Central African Republic. At the outset, I would like to commend the efforts of the former Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the Central African Republic, Ms. Sahel-Work Zewde, in supporting the peacebuilding process in that country. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish the new Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in the Central African Republic (BINUCA) in Bangui, Ms. Vogt, every success. I've felt it would be an honour to work with her.", "At the outset, I would like to inform the Council in detail of the main activities of the Peacebuilding Commission over the past six months before informing the country-specific configurations of priority actions to be taken in the coming months.", "Allow me to turn first to the activities of the past six months. While not neglecting other sectors, our configuration focused primarily on the electoral process and the preparations for the partners' round table in Brussels three weeks ago. With regard to elections, the Peacebuilding Commission has played an important role in mobilizing donors from the outset. Those efforts made it possible to fill the $7.5 million shortfall in the electoral budget.", "In addition, the Commission, through BINUCA, provided advice to a number of actors involved in the preparation of the elections, including the Independent Electoral Commission, the Government and the opposition. The recommendations also cover measures to be taken in response to irregularities identified mainly in the first round of parliamentary elections. In view of this, the boycott of the second round of the parliamentary elections by the opposition coalition is a particularly regrettable event.", "I would like to draw the attention of the Council to the policy statement presented by the Government of the Central African Republic to the National Assembly in Bangui on 18 May. The Council should study this document, as it contains an extremely important political commitment that should be recalled here. In particular, the Government has committed itself to completing the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of rebels by the end of 2011; fighting corruption; strengthening governance and the rule of law; and revising the 2009 electoral law and establishing a permanent independent secretariat for future elections. The Committee trusted that the Central African authorities would fulfil those political commitments without delay.", "Following the completion of the electoral process, the Government of the Central African Republic and the Peacebuilding Commission, with support from the United Nations Development Programme, the World Bank and the African Development Bank, convened a partnership round table in Brussels on 16 and 17 June. The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Mr. Jean Ping, decided to travel to Brussels to participate in the round table. Some 160 participants represented 30 Governments and 35 international, regional and subregional organizations; observers represented civil society in the Central African Republic, international non-governmental organizations and the private sector. For a forgotten country like the Central African Republic, the number of participants was truly unprecedented.", "The main purpose of the round table was to inform partners about the priorities of the second generation of PRSPs. This excellent document was prepared by the Central African authorities with the technical assistance of the World Bank.", "It is clear that the development needs of the Central African Republic remain enormous. The message from the round table participants was very clear. They all encouraged national authorities to define priority areas of action in the second poverty reduction strategy paper, with a focus on measures to restore stability in the country and to target vulnerable populations in particular. It is clear to all that this exercise is only a first step on the long road to strengthening links with existing partners and building new ones with a broad range of potential new partners. Naturally, the Committee will work with the Central African authorities to ensure a targeted follow-up to the round table.", "I also welcome a number of decisive developments mentioned by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in the weeks and days preceding the round table. These include the signing of a ceasefire agreement with the only rebel group that did not sign the 2008 Libreville peace agreement, the signing of a tripartite agreement between the Central African Republic, Chad and the Sudan that should help to stabilize the north-eastern part of the country, and further progress towards national reconciliation.", "Now I want to look to the future. As the Special Representative of the Secretary-General has also indicated, one of the main priorities for future work will be security sector reform. In this regard, I welcome the fact that the new Special Representative of the Secretary-General has made it a priority for BINUCA to support the Government of the Central African Republic in developing a national security sector reform strategy. The list of existing security sector reform projects presented at the round table in Brussels still needs to be prioritized and guided by a strategy drafted at the national security sector reform workshop in April 2008. In the coming months, the Committee will focus on initiating effective security sector reform.", "Good governance, the rule of law and judicial reform will also be part of our peacebuilding priorities for the coming year. The United Nations Development Programme has embarked on a multi-year programme that must be completed and refined. Transparent management of natural resources was an issue that required urgent attention in order to increase national revenues and encourage private investment. For its part, the Peacebuilding Commission will work to mobilize existing and potential partners to support peacebuilding projects.", "Before concluding, I would also like to highlight an issue that is very important to me personally and to the German presidency of the Council, namely, the situation of women and children in conflict zones in the Central African Republic. In some areas, the situation remains serious. During my last visit to Bangui in April, I had the opportunity to stress the urgency of establishing a reporting and monitoring mechanism on children and armed conflict. Upon my return to New York, I briefed the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict, which you, Sir, chaired. I encourage the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict and Sexual Violence in Conflict to visit the Central African Republic again this year to assess the situation on the ground. Once again, the situation on the ground remains very disturbing and deserves the full attention not only of the Committee but also of the Council.", "The President: I thank Mr. Grauls for his briefing.", "I now give the floor to the representative of the Central African Republic.", "Mr. Dubana (Central African Republic) (spoke in French): On behalf of the Government of the Central African Republic, I would like to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. We are encouraged by your country's commitment to supporting the efforts of countries weakened by violence of all kinds in the search for peace, stability and development, and I commend your commitment to addressing the issue of women and children in conflict.", "On behalf of the Central African Republic, I would like once again to congratulate the Secretary-General on his successful re-election to the leadership of our common Organization, which has enabled him to continue, consolidate and complete the many projects that he began during his first term. We also take note of the report just presented on the political, security, social and economic situation in the Central African Republic and on the activities of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in the Central African Republic (S/2011/311). This report, which is indeed comprehensive and comprehensive, is just in time, given its current significance at the national and international levels.", "Here, I would like to express my thanks and deep respect to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ms. Margaret Vogt, for her clear, deep and, in particular, concise briefing. I must also thank her predecessor, Ms. Sahel-Work Zewde, for her skilful leadership of the Mission before, during and after the elections in January this year in a difficult and unusual environment.", "We have seen a series of encouraging events following those elections. These incidents are mentioned in the report and deserve to be revisited. These events included the partial withdrawal by the Constitutional Court of one quarter of the seats in the National Assembly and the Central African Republic donor round table held three weeks ago in Brussels. These events also included the formation of the Government of the Central African Republic and the adoption of a general policy declaration endorsed by Parliament; the holding of a tripartite summit between the Sudan, Chad and the Central African Republic; and the last rebel group remaining outside the Libreville Peace Agreement, the “CPJP” • The signing of a ceasefire agreement; the imminent return of a group of foreign politico-military movements to their countries; and the start of the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process.", "We in the Central African Republic believe that these events give us hope for a return to peace through the agreement, efforts and cooperation of all stakeholders. They are clear signs of the restoration of peace and are essential elements for lasting recovery. The President of the Central African Republic and his Government will do their utmost to maintain dialogue with political actors and civil society, as recommended by the inclusive political dialogue. The President and the Government are committed to the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process. The process should now complement the security sector reform programme with a view to the effective restructuring of the defence and security forces. In my fragile State, peace is precious, and the consolidation of democratic gains requires peace.", "The implementation of these measures will require continued coordination with our bilateral and multilateral partners, in particular the United Nations, particularly through the Peacebuilding Commission, in its country-specific configuration on the Central African Republic. The country-specific configuration is ably chaired by Ambassador Grauls, to whom we very much respect and commend here.", "The highest authorities of the Central African Republic are fully committed to the implementation of the recommendations contained in the report. We would like to remind you, however, of the need to take into account both internal and external factors in the accurate assessment of the situation in the Central African Republic, which is at the heart of the African continent, and it is gratifying that this has been done. The case of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is a good example of that from a brutal and brutal rebel group that is not a neighbouring country. The atrocities, destruction, looting, forced conscription and deportation of men, women and children by the Lord ' s Resistance Army require the eradication of this group once and for all through the full mobilization of forces and common resources.", "That is why, while we recognize the value of the initiatives taken by the United Nations and the African Union on this issue, the Central African Republic is concerned that a new neighbour will be created in 48 hours — Despite the foreseeable consequences — the high hopes that the creation of a new neighbour will completely overthrow certain principles and alter the geographical composition of the region — we remain convinced that this country, together with us, will work tirelessly to combat a cross-border enemy that is obstinate and seeks to destabilize the stability indispensable to the development of the subregion.", "Finally, my country will continue to cooperate with States, without exception, as it has always done. And sometimes friends and observers with discernment, They have reason to be weary of the Central African Republic — to question its willingness and ability to recover or simply move forward.", "The situation in the Central African Republic is by no means hopeless, and its failure is far from certain. With its limited resources, it has worked tirelessly to secure its feet. It is working to build the rule of law. My country strives every day to be the parent of its people, who want to live in peace.", "The Central African Republic expresses its unfailing gratitude to the international community, to which it is honoured to be a part, to which it always has its unwavering and multifaceted support, and to which it hopes to rely in this difficult process.", "The President: There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. I now invite Council members to informal consultations in order to continue our discussion of this issue.", "The meeting rose at 10.50 a.m." ]

[ "大 会 安全理事会", "第十届紧急特别会议 第六十六年", "议程项目5", "以色列在被占领的东耶路撒冷和 其余被占领巴勒斯坦领土的非法行动", "巴勒斯坦常驻联合国观察员给秘书长和安全理事会主席的同文信", "我遗憾地通知你，由于占领国以色列及其定居者当前的非法政策和行动及持续不断的挑衅，包括东耶路撒冷在内的被占领巴勒斯坦领土局势继续恶化，极其动荡不安和不可持续。国际社会必须采取紧急纠正行动，阻止以色列继续大规模侵犯巴勒斯坦人民，挽回尚存的和平机遇。", "在巴勒斯坦被占领土所有地区，以色列远未谋求建立和平，实际上加紧违反国际法，包括人道和人权法，旨在巩固对巴勒斯坦领土的控制及对巴勒斯坦人民的镇压。占领国的非法和侵略行动继续加剧以色列占领下巴勒斯坦平民已经恶劣的处境，破坏国际社会努力根据基于1967年6月以前边界的两国解决办法恢复和谈。", "在加沙地带，巴勒斯坦平民继续遭到占领国无情、非法封锁的集体惩罚，封锁已经进入第五个年头。以色列实行封锁，限制建筑材料和其他主要材料入境，继续阻碍被破坏或损毁的家园和重要基础设施的重建，这使复原努力进一步延迟和复杂化。封锁继续加剧加沙贫穷，因为恢复生计和正常商业运作的努力继续受到阻挠，原因是继续严格限制进出口，确保失业率居高不下(目前约为令人震惊的65%)，援助依赖率仍在80%左右。", "在此方面，必须说明尽管实行所谓的“放松封锁措施”，以色列继续对加沙地带实行陆海空封锁，全然不顾国际社会的多次呼吁，包括会员国在联合国决议、正式声明和宣言中及世界各地民间社会发出的呼吁。在此方面，巴勒斯坦人民及其领导人怀着最深切的尊敬和感激之情，赞赏数以百计民间社会积极分子所作的努力，包括参加自由船队者，他们进行崇高的努力，提请注意以色列对加沙地带的残酷封锁，动员国际社会采取行动迫使占领国结束封锁，并向加沙巴勒斯坦人民提供必要的人道援助和道德支持。", "占领国还继续对加沙地带采取军事侵略行为。近日，以色列占领部队对加沙中部地区发动空袭。在昨天(7月5日)的袭击中，占领部队打死2名巴勒斯坦男子(Mohammed Sa’eed Abu Jazar和Kamal Abu Muammar)，1名男子受伤；今天，又有1名男子在另一空袭中受伤，空袭造成巨大财产损失。在此方面，必须认识到，根据国际人道法，对平民地区进行此类军事攻击非法，构成针对巴勒斯坦人民的严重恐怖、挑衅和煽动行为。", "同时，以色列人一直持续不断地在其余巴勒斯坦被占领土非法推行殖民化，特别是在被占东耶路撒冷内和周边地区。最近，面对国际社会日益施压，要求结束始于1967年的占领，占领国加紧征用土地、建造定居点和拆毁住房，显然努力造成更多的非法既定事实，强行改变被占领土的人口组成。事实上，占领国以色列继续公然违反《日内瓦历史公约》和联合国相关决议规定的法律义务，悍然藐视国际社会持续呼吁立即停止在包括东耶路撒冷在内的被占领巴勒斯坦领土上的所有定居点活动。", "虽然不可能在如此简短的信中详细列举以色列殖民化活动的范围和规模，但下列令人遗憾的事态发展说明此类侵犯行为的严重性和范围，这些行为继续得到以色列官员，包括总理、国防部长和其他部长及其他方面的支持：", "• 6月19日，据报以色列宣布核准在“Ramat Shlomo”非法定居点扩建2 000个单位。此前，以色列曾宣布在“霍马山“(阿布古奈姆山)和“Pisgat Ze’ev”非法定居点另建1 500个单位。", "• 本月初，在伯利恒和纳布卢斯地区的“Efrat”和“Shomron”非法定居点分别另建40个单位和46个单位，此外，还为在“Beitar Elit”非法定居点建造300个单位进行投标。", "• 7月1日，下令征用纳布卢斯附近Qaryut村另外189 德南土地，该地区被7个以色列非法定居点包围。", "• 继续拆毁在东耶路撒冷和约旦河谷的巴勒斯坦人住房和机构，据报自今年初以来，仅在约旦河谷就有700多巴勒斯坦人流离失所，无家可归。联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处最近一份报告指出，仅在5月份，在西岸特别是东耶路撒冷拆毁住房就使67名儿童流离失所，创今年新高。", "• 以色列内政部长最近宣布，打算进一步扩大被占东耶路撒冷城界，旨在在城界内再建一个非法定居点。", "• 7月3日，以色列交通部长挑衅地提议路标和城镇名“希伯来化”，特别是在被占东耶路撒冷，旨在进一步使该城犹太化。", "与此同时，以色列非法定居者，其中许多人是武装极端分子，加紧在整个巴勒斯坦被占领土上的恐怖和破坏行为。6月7日，定居者放火焚烧拉马拉附近Al-Mughayyir村的一个清真寺，并在清真寺墙壁上涂鸦。据称，这种令人震惊的恐怖行为是定居者所谓“价签”政策的一部分，旨在破坏为停建定居点或拆除所谓“前哨”所作的任何努力。定居者还继续攻击巴勒斯坦农业财产，6月中旬武装定居者用火炬点燃Bil’in数十棵巴勒斯坦人的橄榄树，并放火焚烧纳布卢斯南部地区至少15德南农田。在实施这些邪恶行径之前，极端定居者在6月初所谓的“耶路撒冷日”事件中进行挑衅和煽动，定居者在占领部队的保护下，在城内游行，骚扰、恐吓和威胁巴勒斯坦平民。", "除了上述所有情况，占领国以色列继续袭击西岸村庄，拘留和监禁巴勒斯坦平民，进一步增加其在以色列监狱中的人数(已有数千人)，并使他们的家庭更加艰苦。上个月，以色列总理宣布，以色列计划进一步“强化”巴勒斯坦囚犯已经不人道和不卫生的条件，这有悖国际人道和人权法。", "这只是概述以色列占领下的巴勒斯坦人民极其令人不安的恶劣处境。这一情形继续加剧紧张局势和敏感度，破坏对和平与安全的未来以及摆脱外国占领和伴随外国占领的残暴行径的希望。这一情形破坏所有旨在公正、和平解决冲突的区域和国际努力，威胁破坏两国解决办法，使之日益不可行。", "然而，巴勒斯坦人民及其领导人仍致力于采取基于1967年6月以前边界的两国解决办法，仍致力于以和平、外交、政治和非暴力手段实现这一目标，并实现巴勒斯坦人民不可剥夺的权利及其合法民族愿望。因此，巴勒斯坦领导人将继续全力以赴争取支持，继续努力完全终止一切形式的以色列军事占领，确保尽早在以东耶路撒冷为首都的独立巴勒斯坦国实现巴勒斯坦人民自决权和自由。", "我们呼吁国际社会，包括安全理事会，在这一方面负起责任，并根据其法律义务，处理以色列在包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土上的侵犯行为。只有采取严肃、协调的行动，才能迫使占领国以色列立即停止其所有非法活动，承诺根据联合国相关决议所载的国际认可的各项要素、包括土地换和平原则在内的马德里框架、阿拉伯和平倡议和四方路线图进行和平谈判。", "自2000年9月28日以来，我们已就包括东耶路撒冷在内被占巴勒斯坦领土的持续危机向你发出394封信，本函是上述信函的后续。这些信函的日期从2000年9月29日(A/55/432-S/2000/921)至2011年6月6日(A/ES-10/521-S/2011/343)，其中基本记录了占领国以色列自2000年9月以来对巴勒斯坦人民实施的犯罪行为。必须追究占领国以色列对巴勒斯坦人民犯下的所有这些战争罪行、国家恐怖主义行为和系统侵犯人权行为的责任，必须将肇事者绳之以法。", "请将本信作为大会第十届紧急特别会议议程项目5和安全理事会的文件分发为荷。", "巴勒斯坦常驻联合国观察员", "大使", "里亚德·曼苏尔(签名)" ]

[ "General Assembly Security Council Tenth emergency special session Sixty-sixth year Agenda item 5 \nIllegal Israeli actions in OccupiedEast Jerusalem and the rest of theOccupied Palestinian Territory", "Identical letters dated 6 July 2011 from the Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council", "I regret to inform you that the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, has continued to deteriorate as result of ongoing illegal policies and actions and relentless provocations by Israel, the occupying Power, and its illegal settlers. The situation is highly volatile and unsustainable and requires urgent redress by the international community to bring a halt to the massive violations that continue to be perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian people and to salvage the chances for peace that remain before us.", "Far from seeking to make peace, Israel is actually intensifying its violations of international law, including humanitarian and human rights law, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory in all areas with the aim of entrenching its control of the Palestinian land and its subjugation of the Palestinian people. The occupying Power’s illegal and aggressive actions continue to exacerbate the already harsh conditions being endured by the Palestinian civilian population under its occupation, and to undermine the international efforts to resume peace negotiations on the basis of the two-State solution based on the pre-June 1967 borders.", "In the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian civilian population continues to be collectively punished by the occupying Power’s ruthless, illegitimate blockade that has now entered its fifth year. Reconstruction of damaged and destroyed homes and vital infrastructure continues to be impeded by the blockade and Israel’s ongoing restrictions on entry of construction and other essential materials, further delaying and complicating recovery efforts. The blockade continues to deepen poverty in Gaza, as restoration of livelihoods and the normal functioning of businesses also continue to be obstructed, due to continued severe restrictions on imports and exports, ensuring that the unemployment level, which now stands at around a shocking 65 per cent of the population, remains high, and that aid dependency also remains staggering at nearly 80 per cent.", "In this regard, it must be clarified that, despite so-called “measures to ease” the blockade, Israel continues to impose a land, air and naval blockade on the Gaza Strip in total defiance of the repeated calls by the international community, including by Member States in United Nations resolutions and official statements and declarations and by civil society from all corners of the world. In this regard, the Palestinian people and their leadership recognize with deepest respect and gratitude the efforts of the hundreds of civil society activists, including those partaking in the Freedom Flotilla, who are exerting noble efforts to draw attention to Israel’s cruel blockade of the Gaza Strip, to mobilize international action to compel the occupying Power to end the blockade, and to deliver needed humanitarian aid and moral support to the Palestinian people in Gaza.", "The occupying Power also continues to commit acts of military aggression against the Gaza Strip. In recent days, the Israeli occupying forces launched air strikes against areas in central Gaza. In such an attack yesterday, 5 July, the occupying forces killed two Palestinian men, Mohammed Sa’eed Abu Jazar and Kamal Abu Muammar, and wounded one man and today another man was also wounded in a separate airstrike that also caused substantial damage to property. In this regard, it must be underscored that such military attacks against civilian areas are unlawful under international humanitarian law and constitute grave acts of terror, provocation and incitement against the Palestinian people.", "At the same time, Israel has been unrelenting in its illegal drive to colonize the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, especially areas in and around Occupied East Jerusalem. In the recent period, land confiscations, settlement construction and home demolitions have intensified as the occupying Power clearly seeks to create even more illegal facts on the ground and forcibly alter the demographic composition of the Territory in the face of mounting international demands and pressure to bring an end to the occupation that began in 1967. Indeed, Israel, the occupying Power, continues to flagrantly violate its legal obligations under the Fourth Geneva Convention and under relevant United Nations resolutions and to blatantly defy the international community’s continuous calls for an immediate cessation of all settlement activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.", "While it is not possible in such a brief letter to enumerate in detail the scope and scale of Israel’s colonization activities in the recent period, the following regrettable developments give an indication of the severity and extent of such violations, which continue to receive the support of Israeli officials, including the Prime Minister, Defence and other Ministers, Knesset parliamentarians and others:", "• On 19 June, it was reported that Israel approved the expansion of 2,000 units in the illegal settlement of “Ramat Shlomo”. This was announced in addition to the early declaration to construct another 1,500 units in the illegal settlements of “Har Homa” (Jabal Abu Ghneim) and “Pisgat Ze’ev”.", "• At the start of this month, tenders were issued for the construction of 300 units in the illegal settlement of “Beitar Elit” in addition to another 40 units and 46 units in the illegal settlements of “Efrat” and “Shomron” in the Bethlehem and Nablus areas respectively.", "• On 1 July, confiscation orders were issued for another 189 dunums of land in the village of Qaryut near Nablus, an area that is surrounded by seven illegal Israeli settlements.", "• Demolition of Palestinian homes and structures in East Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley continued, with a report revealing that demolitions in the Jordan Valley alone have displaced and left homeless more than 700 Palestinians since the start of this year. A recent report by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East has shown that in the month of May alone, home demolitions in the West Bank and particularly in East Jerusalem displaced 67 children, a record high this year.", "• The Israeli Interior Minister announced recently the intention to further expand the municipal boundaries of Occupied East Jerusalem, with the aim of incorporating within the City’s boundaries yet another illegal settlement.", "• On 3 July, the Israeli Transport Minister provocatively proposed the “Hebrewizing” of road signs and town names, especially in Occupied East Jerusalem, with the aim of further Judaizing the city.", "At the same time, illegal Israeli settlers, many of them armed extremists, have intensified their acts of terror and destruction throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory. On 7 June, settlers set fire to a mosque in the village of Al-Mughayyir near Ramallah and defiled its walls with graffiti. This shocking act of terror was claimed to have been committed as part of the settlers’ so-called “price tag” policy aimed at sabotaging any attempts to cease settlement construction or dismantle so-called “outposts”. Settlers also continued to attack Palestinian agricultural properties, with armed settlers torching dozens of Palestinian olive trees in Bil’in and setting fire to at least 15 dunums of farmland in an area south of Nablus in mid-June. These depraved acts followed the provocations and incitement exhibited by extremist settlers during the so-called “Jerusalem Day” events in early June, when, under the protection of the occupying forces, settlers marched through the city harassing, intimidating and threatening the Palestinian civilian population.", "In addition to all of the above, Israel, the occupying Power, continues to raid West Bank villages and to detain and imprison Palestinian civilians, adding to the thousands who remain in Israeli jails and exacerbating the hardships endured by their families. Last month, the Israeli Prime Minister declared Israel’s plans to further “toughen” conditions on Palestinians prisoners, who already suffer under inhumane and unhygienic conditions in violation of international humanitarian and human rights law.", "This is just a synopsis of the extremely disturbing and deplorable conditions being endured by the Palestinian people under Israel’s occupation. It is a situation that continues to heighten tensions and sensitivities and to mar the hopes for a peaceful and secure future, free from foreign occupation and all of its attendant brutalities. It is a situation that is undermining all regional and international efforts aimed at justly and peacefully resolving the conflict and is threatening to destroy the two-State solution, making it less and less viable with each passing day.", "Nevertheless, the Palestinian people and their leadership remain committed to the two-State solution on the basis of the pre-June 1967 borders and remain committed to peaceful, diplomatic, political and non-violent means to achieve this goal and to achieve the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and their legitimate national aspirations. Accordingly, the Palestinian leadership will continue to exert all efforts to gain support for its continuing endeavour to bring a complete end to the Israeli military occupation in all its manifestations and to ensure the realization of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and freedom in their independent State of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital at the earliest possible date.", "We call upon the international community, including the Security Council, to uphold their responsibilities in this regard and to act upon their legal obligations to address the ongoing violations being committed by Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. Only serious, coordinated action can compel Israel, the occupying Power, to cease forthwith all its illegal activities and to commit to peaceful negotiations based on the internationally-endorsed parameters enshrined in the relevant United Nations resolutions, the Madrid terms of reference, including the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Quartet road map.", "This letter is in follow-up to our previous 394 letters regarding the ongoing crisis in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, since 28 September 2000. These letters, dated from 29 September 2000 (A/55/432-S/2000/921) to 6 June 2011 (A/ES-10/521-S/2011/343) constitute a basic record of the crimes being committed by Israel, the occupying Power, against the Palestinian people since September 2000. For all of these war crimes, acts of State terrorism and systematic human rights violations committed against the Palestinian people, Israel, the occupying Power, must be held accountable and the perpetrators must be brought to justice.", "I should be grateful if you would arrange to have the text of the present letter distributed as a document of the tenth emergency special session of the General Assembly, under agenda item 5, and of the Security Council.", "(Signed) Riyad Mansour Ambassador Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations" ]

\n耗资20亿美元翻修纽约联合国总部的基本建设总计划是一个复杂、高价值和令人瞩目的翻修项目，涉及对1950年代标志性的庭院式建筑群进行现代化改造、安保强化和建筑保护。这一项目面临治理和利益攸关方管理方面的挑战，并且联合国的重要业务活动无时无刻不能中断，其中的许多在施工期间仍必须在场院内进行。\n大会第57/292号决议强调必须监督基本建设总计划的拟订和执行，并请审计委员会每年就该项目编写报告。本报告载有审计委员会依照大会要求对基本建设总计划进展情况进行的年度审查的结果和建议。\n 审计委员会的总结论 \n审计委员会确认，基本建设总计划在一些方面取得了重要进展。6000多名工作人员从原来的办公地点搬迁到临时办公地点，重要的施工工作也大体按计划进行。审计委员会还看到基本建设总计划中一些好的做法，例如基本建设总计划办公室与专业顾问和主要承包人之间统一的团队合作。\n 预算和时间表风险 \n尽管取得了上述进展，基本建设总计划仍面临重大挑战。2011年3月31日的预测表明，该项目的支出将比预算超出7900万美元(4%)，并且，项目的重要组成部分目前进度落后。审计委员会注意到，该费用预测没有为已查明风险最有可能发生的费用做出拨备，没有对项目完成之前所有变更单的费用做出可审计的有力估算，也未反映所有预计的周转办公楼租金费用。审计委员会因此认为，这种情况很有可能恶化而非改善，但如果行政当局能够采取迅速、坚决的行动全面解决本报告提出的关切事项，则能最大限度地减少进一步超支和延迟。\n 该项目面临以下重大费用和时间压力： \n•日益明显的是，“连带费用”，即与项目有关但不在核心工程或预算之内的费用，无法按大会之前所要求的那样由项目预算匀支，除非工程显著缩小\n•对已查明风险最有可能发生的费用或今后的变更单费用等未来费用进行估算的方法分析性不足。这使得剩余应急筹备金能否足以支撑到项目完成以及当前列报的超支是否会进一步增加的问题具有不确定性\n•根据现有计划，预计第一批工作人员将在2007年9月发布的预期完工日期三个月之后开始搬迁回秘书处大厦(加速战略)，但该项目曾经发生过延迟的情况。以往的预测往往较为乐观，由于下文所述原因，会议和大会大楼的进度大大滞后于之前所作的估计\n•仍没有可行的设计方案来解决与达格·哈马舍尔德图书馆和南配楼有关的安保要求，因此上述项目组成部分目前处于停滞状态\n随着项目逐渐接近完成，有些风险将不复存在，意外费用增加的可能性也将降低。但是，基本建设总计划消化更多时间或费用压力的能力如今比较有限，而审计委员会的结论是，在本报告提交之时，仍存在大量其他风险，可能会产生进一步的费用增加和延迟。\n 效益和效率机会 \n行政当局正在通过秘书处大厦中高级管理人员合用办公地点和采用开放式而非蜂窝式办公空间的方式，实现基本建设总计划提供的增进沟通和团队合作的更广泛机会。但审计委员会关切的是，行政当局没有拟订结构化的程序来界定或尽可能扩大应从该项目中获取的预期效益，也没有充分利用改进办公解决方案的潜力，例如，灵活的办公桌使用政策可以提供节省费用的重要机会，因为它能增加秘书处大厦容纳的工作人员数量，进而减少当前的租金费用负债和可能的费用超支。这些效益仍然可以实现，但行政当局需要采取缜密的、高度扶持性的改革管理办法，以应付工作人员的工作方式所面临的不可避免的所需文化改变。\n总体上，审计委员会的结论是，虽然基本建设总计划取得了进展，但该项目正在步入一个关键阶段，管理突发问题以及费用和时间压力的灵活度大大降低。现在，项目很显然会延迟交付。第一批工作人员将于基本建设总计划办公室于2007年9月发布的预计完工日期之后三个月开始搬迁回秘书处大厦(加速战略)。目前预计大会和会议楼将会延迟一年，图书馆和南配楼计划工程的规模可能会缩小。目前的预测是费用将超出预算7900万美元(4%)，而且还存在一些重大风险，如果不坚决减少这些风险，会进一步加剧延迟并导致费用增加，超过目前预测的超支额。行政当局必须果断采取行动，才能充分实现几十年一遇的翻修所带来的效益和机会。\n 主要结果和建议 \n项目完工日期从2013年中推迟到2014年中，预测的费用比大会核准的当前订正预算高出约4%，其中已计入捐赠承付款和加强安保的资金。根据基本建设总计划办公室的报告，预测整个项目的最终费用为20.61亿美元，超出预算7900万美元，大会楼将于2014年中完工，比订正后的加速时间表所列日期晚了一年，其主要原因是与安保有关的工程变化。项目的费用、时间表和工程已经并继续受到重大压力的影响，其中包括根据新安保要求需开展的约1亿美元的防护工程，由东道国供资。\n总体的费用预测没有明确为变更单费用留出余地，或者为风险登记册中的风险最有可能发生的费用做出拨备。管理层和负责治理的人员若要迅速、有效采取行动以保持完全的预算控制，对此类项目进行准确和透明的费用预测至关重要。在本报告提交之时，费用预测中缺乏对项目完成之前所有变更单费用所做的可审计的有力估算，也没有为已查明风险最有可能发生的费用做出拨备。还需要评估租用临时周转空间的全部费用，并将其反映在费用预测中。因此，审计委员会不能保证对完成项目所需费用做出的预测是准确的。\n达格·哈马舍尔德图书馆和南配楼缺乏可行的设计解决方案，导致这些项目组成部分被搁置。对上述大楼经受爆炸冲击的复原力做出评估之后，基本建设总计划办公室已搁置上述大楼的设计，直到与纽约市当局以及毗邻的业主进行进一步讨论，因为后者的计划可能会对解决方案产生影响。基本建设总计划办公室告知审计委员会，最新的费用预测显示，按最初设想翻修图书馆和南配楼的费用将为6500万美元。基本建设总计划的商定预算没有单独列出这些大楼的费用。\n基本建设总计划办公室没有能力在其预算中匀支约1.46亿美元的连带费用。连带费用是项目所需的费用，但不在项目的直接责任范围内，也没有包含在基本建设总计划的最初预算中。尽管大会曾要求基本建设总计划匀支这些费用，但审计委员会的结论是，如果基本建设总计划的规模不缩减或者该项目已经列报的费用超支额不减少，上述要求就不再是一个现实的要求。\n基本建设总计划缺乏对项目变更数量的有效控制，该计划继续面临因最终使用者和不完整设计所导致的大量变更。发生变更是所有建设项目的共同特点，但变更可能导致延迟和费用增加的风险。因此，有效的变更控制是公认的成功要素，通常应在设计的早期阶段充分征询最终使用者或用户的意见，在设计最终确定之后进行变更的程序则具有规则明确、治理严格和管理有力的特点，以尽可能减少变更。最初进行合同竞标时，基本建设总计划某些阶段的设计仍未完成，并且，为了保证项目进度，合同是有意根据不完整的设计授予的。在这种情况下，就更需建立有效程序，以便最大限度地减少并控制变更，预测未来变更可能产生的费用并且高效率地处理变更单。基本建设总计划办公室制订了一旦发生变更则立即处理变更单的有力程序，但行政当局没有建立有效制度，从最开始就最大限度地减少变更数量，而且变更率居高不下和解决变更所需时间越来越长的问题如果现在不加处理，将导致进一步的费用增加和延迟。\n从基本建设总计划办公室到设施管理处的移交过程是一个关键风险领域。设施管理处从不太顺利的北草坪会议大楼移交过程中汲取教训，正在征聘更多工作人员参与基本建设总计划工作，为业务人员提供更多培训，并聘请了一名咨询人为移交过程提供支持。尽管采取了上述积极行动，审计委员会还是认为设施管理处的准备工作是一个高风险领域，因为项目移交阶段的任何延迟都将不可避免地增加费用。\n鉴于以上结果，审计委员会在本报告正文中提出了详细建议。行政当局接受了审计委员会几乎所有的建议，只有一个例外，即关于增强连带费用供资确定性的建议。行政当局认为大会第65/269号决议已经明确规定从基本建设总计划的预算中匀支连带费用。行政当局和审计委员会关于该问题的评论意见列于第80至82段。\n 主要建议摘要如下： \n•基本建设总计划办公室应加强对未来费用的预测办法，做法是在费用预测中对项目完成之前所有变更单费用做出可审计的有力估算，并为已查明风险最有可能发生的费用作出备抵\n • 行政当局应审查图书馆和南配楼的情况，决定前进方向 \n • 行政当局及负有治理职责的人员应迅速解决连带费用难以维持的情况 \n•行政当局应建立有效的变更控制治理机制，最大限度地减少因使用者导致的变更\n•行政当局应每季度监测设施管理处与基本建设总计划办公室之间的交付使用安排\n 以往建议的执行情况 \n审计委员会在关于2009年12月31日终了年度的报告(A/65/5(Vol.V))中提出的20项建议中，有9项(45%)得到充分执行，5项(25%)正在执行，5项(25%)未得到执行，其中有3项现已被新建议所取代，1项(5%)因事态发展而不能执行。审计委员会重申上一份报告中没有被取代或因事态发展而不能执行、但尚未得到充分执行的建议。", "A. 任务、范围和方法", "1. 基本建设总计划是翻修纽约联合国总部建筑群计划。总计划是根据大会第55/238号决议制订的，最初资金来自联合国经常预算批款。后来大会第57/292号决议第二节第24段设立了基本建设总计划特别账户。其后，以向会员国摊款的方式批款给特别账户。基本建设总计划的财务状况作为联合国财务报表中的报表九(联合国资本资产和在建工程)的一项内容报告(见A/66/5(Vol.I))。批款的任何未用余额均结转到下一个两年期，直到项目完成。", "2. 大会第57/292号决议强调对基本建设总计划的制订和实施进行监督的重要性，并请审计委员会每年向大会提交一份关于该项目报告。", "3. 审计委员会在草拟本报告时审查了自编写上次报告(A/65/5(Vol.V))以来基本建设总计划的进展情况，以及与项目有关的各种风险的确认与管理方式。审计委员会进行审查的首要目标是：", "• 评估审计委员会以往各项建议的执行进展情况", "• 评估自审计委员会上一次年度报告以来基本建设总计划的进展情况", "• 评估基本建设总计划是否可能在预算和预期时限内交付", "• 就进一步加强基本建设总计划的管理提出新的建议。", "4. 审计委员会同内部监督事务厅密切合作，以了解最近内部审计的结果，协调其各自的审计工作，并尽量减少对基本建设总计划办公室提出的需求。", "5. 本报告论述审计委员会认为应提请大会注意的各项问题。已同行政当局讨论了审计委员会的意见和结论，行政当局的看法已在报告中得到适当反映。", "B. 审计结果和建议", "1. 审计委员会以往建议的执行情况", "6. 审计委员会在其关于2009年12月31日终了年度的报告(A/65/5(Vol.V))提出的20项建议中，有9项建议(45%)得到充分执行，5项建议(25%)正在执行，5项建议(25%)没有执行。没有执行的5项建议与下述问题有关：", "• 在基本建设总计划之前，建筑群内的13个区域由会员国赞助，不清楚在翻修之后这些国家是否仍然会作为这些区域的赞助者。审计委员会先前建议在基本建设总计划项目期间和之后细化关于处理和恢复这些赞助的政策，以澄清这一问题。委员会重申其先前的建议", "• 审计委员会注意到，已执行了关于设立合同授予后审查程序的建议，但该程序目前未按设想发挥作用。审计委员会在本报告B.10节再次述及这一点", "• 其余三项建议涉及的是费用预测和设立应急款项，现已被本报告中新的建议取代。", "7. 审计委员会重申其先前报告中提出的尚未得到全面执行也未被取代的各项建议(见A/65/5(Vol.V)，第31、62、67、112、118、129和147段)。审计委员会还认为，上述报告的建议中有一项(5%)现已因事态发展而不能执行。该项建议涉及会议楼合同谈判的拖延问题。会议楼设计发生了变动，纳入了新的安保要求，因此该项建议已因事态发展而不能执行。", "2. 背景和财务状况", "8. 纽约联合国总部需要全面翻修，这在1990年代末得到确认。2000年6月，秘书长在关于基本建设总计划的报告(A/55/117)中明确阐述了翻修需要，并提出了一系列可能采取的办法。首选的办法是一个六年期的翻修计划，费用约为9.64亿美元，期间总部大院中随时有至多30%的部分在进行修建。", "9. 从2000年起，提出了多个新的设计和修建费用估计数，2003年2月，秘书长设立了交付该项目的基本建设总计划办公室。大会对该项目进行正式监督，秘书长负责实现项目的各项目标，并将这一职责授予主管管理事务副秘书长，后者还负责提供一系列服务，支助纽约联合国总部的业务。基本建设总计划执行主任向主管管理事务副秘书长报告。", "10. 2005年11月，秘书长在其基本建设总计划执行情况第三次年度进展报告(A/60/550)中提了一项15.88亿美元的预算，用以交付基本建设总计划。秘书长在其2006年10月的第四次年度进展情况报告(A/61/549)中解释说，预算增至16.46亿美元，原因是市场条件发生了变化，建筑费用和专业费用增加。秘书长报告还确认了需要增加工程范围，包括额外的爆炸防护措施和信息技术备份系统和安保措施。加上新增工程，项目的预计总费用为18.77亿美元。2006年12月22日，大会在其第61/251号决议中决定核可该项目订正预算以及提议的分阶段修建办法(战略四)。", "11. 2007年9月，秘书长在第五次年度进展报告(A/62/364)中指出，战略四执行延迟的原因是联合国决策的复杂性以及基本建设总计划执行主任的辞职。秘书长估计，项目的最终费用将为20.96亿美元，超出预算约2.2亿美元，主要是由于进度拖延及价格膨胀对建筑和租赁费用的相关影响。", "12. 秘书长后来提出了加速战略四，缩短翻新期，减少修建阶段并减少对联合国工作的干扰。经订正的最后费用估计数为20.67亿美元，超出预算约1.90亿美元。大会在其第62/87号决议中表示注意到秘书长关于加速战略四的提议。", "13. 加速战略四目前正在执行。秘书长在2010年10月的第八次进展情况年度报告(A/65/511)中说，基本建设总计划75%的承付款已经完成和锁定，预测费用为19.57亿美元，超出预算约8 000万美元。", "14. 截至2010年12月31日，基本建设总计划累计支出13.35亿美元(见表1)。2010年期间的支出(4.06亿美元)与2009年(5.84亿美元)相比减少，原因是修建活动因基本建设总计划办公室需要解决强化安保升级问题而推延，详情见下文B.3节。", "表1 基本建设总计划支出情况", "支出(千美元) 占总额份额(百分比)\n 项目 2007年前^(a) 2007 2008 2009 2010

900万美元。审计委员会注意到，这一预测不包括已确认风险很可能发生的费用的备抵和对项目完成前所有变更单费用的可审计的有力估算，也不包括所有预测的周转办公楼租赁费用。", "3. 主要进展领域", "16. 基本建设总计划是一项规模浩大、挑战重重的翻修项目。这类项目相对新建筑而言具有特殊的风险，因为往往难以对现有建筑结构的状况进行准确的勘察。后来在现有状况方面发现的未预见问题可能会导致额外的工程和费用以及时间的拖延。就联合国大院等老建筑而言，缺少原始“竣工”建筑记录可造成特别的困难。而且，治理、沟通和利益攸关方的管理也较复杂。这些复杂的问题需要严格的项目控制和程序。审计委员会看到基本建设总计划内实行良好做法之处，例如，基本建设总计划办公室与其专业顾问和主要承包商之间的一体化合作。", "17. 在上述关于2009年12月31日终了年度的报告中，审计委员会报告说，基本建设总计划比加速战略四原定时间表延迟了约6个月，基本建设总计划办公室预测的最后费用为19.72亿美元，比18.77亿美元的预算超出9 520万美元。不过，审计委员会指出，整个项目在2010年受设计变更的影响，需要作出这一变更是为了加强针对爆炸冲击力的结构保护。在2010年前的几年中，恐怖主义威胁的频率和严重程度不断增加，其中有时是专门针对联合国的威胁，这意味着安保标准不断受到审查，因而对基本建设总计划设计标准所受影响的理解也在不断形成和改变。", "18. 大致上讲，联合国承担维持其场地界线以内的安全环境的费用，相关的东道国(或任何相关的政治区分单位)负责联合国场地界线以外的安保。在纽约出现了特殊的复杂情况，因为联合国大楼悬在富兰克林·罗斯福行车道之上。实物界线非垂直，因此联合国与东道国之间安保责任的区分不如通常情况清楚。需要就东道国与联合国各自的责任和采取联合行动的必要性达成明确的谅解；在联合国内，虽然人们日益理解可能需要就会议楼作出变更，但变更的性质和程度一直不明了。", "19. 2010年后期，东道国当局与联合国就设计需要、具体解决办法和各自的责任达成了协议，使局面明朗化；随后又在2011年1月与东道国就对所谓“强化安保升级”的1亿美元额外费用估计数的一笔捐助达成协议。[1] 大会在2011年4月的第65/269号决议中批准执行加强安保的措施。寻找上述安保问题解决方法是造成会议楼翻修完工日期拖延九个月的主要因素，这一拖延又进而造成大会大楼完工日期拖延九个月。审计委员会在本报告有关章节就强化安保升级对项目进度、工程和费用的影响作了评论。", "20. 在提交本报告时，基本建设总计划正在22项“最高限价保证”合同下进行交付，其中包括被捆绑成一个最高限价保证合同的7项最高限价保证建议书。对合同的变更单独作出定价和评估，因为合同相当大，一个变更单不大会引起混乱。但是，多合同安排的确会造成以下风险：", "• 如果一项最高限价保证合同内的预定工程必须变更，则变更造成的费用可能会体现为资金效益降低，特别是如果变更造成混乱并降低供应商的效率", "• 更加难以确保各种设计和建筑合同之间的协调、高效率和顺畅地安排工作流程的时机及避免工程上的差距或成套合同之间的不一致性。", "21. 审计委员会认识到，联合国继续在上述领域担有风险，但指出，基本建设总计划小组正在采取合理的措施来尽量减少资金和进度上的风险。包含项目全部工程的一个单一最高限价保证合同是不可行的，因为最开始时设计尚未完成，事实上至今仍然没有完成。如果采取一个单一的最高限价保证合同的办法，承包商就可能提出更高的价格来反映更多的风险，这样就不能实现资金效益。项目小组完全理解多个最高限价保证合同办法的风险，也完全理解尽可能减少变更单并细致协调各最高限价保证合同之间的衔接以控制费用和保证进度的重要性。", "22. 虽然目前预计项目会有很大的拖延，大会楼和会议楼的完工预计将会推迟一年，但考虑到项目小组所面对的复杂问题和挑战，审计委员会承认取得的进展。成绩包括建成北草坪会议大楼并将约6 000名工作人员转入临时的周转办公地，同时维持联合国的日常工作和继续开展大会事务。", "23. 自审计委员会上次报告以来取得的进展主要是完成了北草坪会议大楼地下二层新的技术中心以及其他重大基础结构工程。在秘书处大楼和会议楼也已架设了升降机，可以开始清除石棉和其他拆除工程。在进行本次审计时，秘书处大楼39个楼层中已有21层完成了石棉清除和其他拆除工作；到2011年4月底，该大楼有18个楼层已完成新玻璃幕墙的安装。", "4. 控制变更", "24. 任何建筑项目在工程开始后都可能会发生变更。大量变更是一种风险，因为可能会增加费用和推迟项目交付。事实上，有效的变更控制是成功建筑项目的一个公认特征，也就是在敲定设计方案前往往进行广泛协商，一旦敲定后便建立明确的规则并实行有效的治理和管理，以尽量减少变更。审计委员会和内部监督事务厅(监督厅)均在以前的报告中对基本建设总计划的变更次数表示过关切。有鉴于此，审计委员会再次分析了项目的变更情况。", "25. 审计委员会发现，基本建设总计划继续有相当多的变更，变更源于各个方面。基本建设总计划的设计没有按时完成，为了保证项目如期完成，有意按不完整的设计方案授予了诸项最高限价保证合同。这一战略可能造成的结果是，随着设计进一步展开，需要提出大量变更单，因此十分重要的是，要建立有效的程序来尽量减少不必要的变更、预测未来变更可能产生的费用并有效率地处理变更单。其他一些变更源于总部各部门中的未来用户。", "26. 基本建设总计划办公室具备一个处理出现的变更单的有力程序。不过，行政当局没有从一开始就设立一个有效的制度来尽量减少变更，因此，大量、不断和耗资的变更成了该项目的特征。基本建设总计划变更单的总量和价值继续增加，截至2011年4月5日，施工管理方共提出了1 116项变更单要求，价值约达1.03亿美元。图一和图二显示自项目开始以来变更单的数量和价值的持续趋势。这些图还显示，变更发生率一直保持大体不变，虽然发生率在项目接近完成时必然会下降，但是目前尚无下降迹象。", "图一 变更单累计数量", "来源：对基本建设总计划办公室变更单数据的分析。", "图二 变更单累计价值", "来源：对基本建设总计划办公室变更单数据的分析。", "27. 审计委员会认为，如果行政当局不采取行动解决出现变更的原因，图一和图二显示的趋势很可能会继续。项目的期限已经很紧迫，这样的变更率最终会造成更多的拖延。而且，剩余的应急款现已减少，这种变更趋势给基本建设总计划项目在预算拨款内完工的能力造成严重压力。审计委员会在本报告后面部份对这些问题作了评论。", "28. 基本建设总计划要求在开工前需核准承包商的费用估计数。虽然核准时间表被认为拖延处在关键路径上的工作，但存在一个称为“变更单价值待定”的加速程序。为保护关键路径，这一程序涉及在承包商提供确定价格前开工。该程序建立于2010年3月，此前监督厅建议基本建设总计划办公室应对将列为最高限价保证合同变更的工程不再使用工程授权表来核准开工，并确保变更单在相关工程开始前得到核可。", "29. 基本建设总计划办公室告知审计委员会，根据审计委员会的临时建议，对变更单程序作出了改进，例如，施工管理方和办公室每周举行会议来确定变更单的轻重缓急。但审计委员会认为，变更单批准程序仍然费时费力。可在基本建设总计划办公室或施工管理方的要求下提出变更单。施工管理方从行业承包商获得所需工程的费用估计数，如果管理方对得到的估计数满意，就将其送办公室核批。变更单然后经设计者、方案管理咨询人、项目管理人和办公室的施工主任审查后核批。可按既定的采购程序或由基本建设总计划执行主任根据其所获授权批准变更单。", "30. 执行主任获得批准变更单的授权，但根据监督厅的建议须由授标后合同审查委员会作事后审查(见A/63/266)。授权是有限的，执行主任就一项合同批准的所有变更单不能超过合同价值的10%，单项变更单的价值不能超过500万美元。授权不包括对项目范围作重大更改的权力，而且审计委员会注意到，大会在第65/269号决议中批准了强化安保升级工程。", "31. 审计委员会了解到，许多重要的公共部门项目采取在项目小组内分级授权的办法，以加快变更单的处理速度，也就是做到由较低级别的工作人员对价值较低的变更单作评估，价值较高的变更单则由高级管理层来评估。在基本建设总计划项目小组内没有这种分级授权，这不同于常规。审计委员会在2010年11月审查这一问题时，变更单和应急筹备金要求的处理当时平均需要114个工作日。[2] 审计委员会发现，截至2011年4月5日，这项工作比2010年11月时平均多花四天的时间，即需要118天。基本建设总计划办公室告知审计委员会，大部份处理时间用于评价建筑和工程公司提出的变更单要求的正当性和方案管理公司的费用审查。", "32. 审计委员会认为，变更单程序仍然太费时。由此产生的拖延给行业承包商造成问题，因为该程序拖延对其付款并对他们的现金流造成不利影响。施工管理方将此看作一种风险，可能会削弱行业承包商的商誉，并增加因拖延和混乱而提出索赔的可能性。", "33. 审计委员会建议基本建设总计划办公室显著减少变更单批准流程的处理时间和积压的数量，从而使承包商在其合同规定的时限内得到付款，如果合同中没有写明，则在变更单完成后30天内得到付款。后一种安排符合最高限价保证合同所规定的支付时限。", "管理用户提出的变更要求", "34. 审计委员会注意到，在将工作人员搬迁到临时周转办公楼的过程中，曾作过许多变更。这对了解用户的行为和该项目管理根据要求进行的变更的成效很有帮助。虽然用户要求对其空间作出许多修改，但根据目前的安排，他们无须对其所要求的变更带来的费用承担问责。如同项目的风险登记册所确认的，用户很可能继续提出大量的变更要求，尤其是在目前商定秘书处大楼最终平面图的过程中。", "35. 审计委员会认识到，许多部门也许并不熟悉工程图或楼面布局，因此，有时一直到每处几近完工时才提出可能需要变更。不管怎样，审计委员会认为，如果今后一直像迄今那样提出大量变更，那么按照目前的时间和预算完成项目的可能性将会受到影响。", "36. 国际上有许多良好做法，可以使项目最大限度地减少大楼最终用户提出的变更要求。那就是在项目的早期设计阶段，就确保与用户充分协商，在设计确定后的变更阶段，则确定明确的规则，进行有力的治理和稳健的管理。基本建设总计划没有遵循这方面的良好做法，直接导致费用的增加和时间上的压力。", "37. 审计委员会发现，行政当局没有在项目一开始就建立一个强有力的机制控制与用户有关的变更，也没有建立明确的问责制，控制各部厅用户提出的变更数量、性质和费用，并确保它们充分认识到变更所涉及的费用。相反，基本建设总计划办公室仰仗部门用户的善意与合作，试图通过提供有关其空间实际布局的资料达到这一目的。但审计委员会认为，在项目的这一阶段光靠合作是不够的。如今，尤其对秘书处大楼平面图所作的任何重大变更都会增加延期风险，有可能使该大楼无法在时间表规定的时间内完成。", "38. 审计委员会建议行政当局与基本建设总计划办公室一起：", "(a) 立即审查变更要求趋势，并查明变更要求的理由和提出者；", "(b) 制定明确的规则, 实行有力的治理和稳健的管理，将用户要求的变更减少到最低限度。", "5. 将大楼移交给设施管理处", "39. 对任何项目来说，施工单位将大楼交付实际使用后都有一个所谓的“调试阶段”。这涉及测试大楼的功能，包括成套设备和大楼控制系统的功能，还常常包括为设施管理部门及其供应商提供大量培训。对联合国来说，调试阶段的挑战非同寻常，因为陈旧的系统正在被陌生的先进计算机主导系统所取代，后者将控制现代化的设备和机器。设施管理处的现有工作人员必须在调试阶段之前掌握新技术。", "40. 设施管理处务必要准备好按照与基本建设总计划办公室商定的日期迅速接管大楼的管理责任。如果做不到，则很可能导致拖延或打乱移交流程，致使费用因为延长临时办公地的租用时间等原因而增加，并可能妨碍联合国开展业务。", "41. 2010年11月，审计委员会曾指出，基本建设总计划办公室在将北草坪大楼的责任全部移交给设施管理处时，比计划的移交日期晚了10个月。设施管理处和基本建设总计划办公室都有各种问题(前者包括缺乏准备和缺乏资源，后者包括不断变更和竣工图不完整)。这些问题加起来就意味着不得不推迟移交工作。", "42. 基本建设总计划的风险登记册专门指出了联合国的技术、信息技术、安全控制室和其他重要机械系统和电气系统所在的地下室的移交和调试风险。由于基础设施技术的复杂性，又由于总部楼区没有这一基础设施就无法运作，因此，它们要比迄今已经移交的任何工作都重要得多。", "43. 审计委员会在2010年年初关于基本建设总计划的一封临时致管理当局函中，建议抓紧调试和移交方面的规划工作。审计委员会注意到，基本建设总计划办公室和设施管理处之后吸取了北草坪大楼的经验教训，如今双方已经制订了一个共同商定的移交程序。设施管理处还在：", "• 征聘更多的工作人员，专门与基本建设总计划办公室协同工作", "• 对其业务人员进一步进行管理现代化大楼控制系统的培训", "• 聘用一名咨询人，帮助移交工作。", "44. 审计委员会还注意到，设施管理处内部正在开展一个更新采购办法和提供服务方式的重大项目。审计委员会认为，从长计议，这是一个正确的做法。减少供应商，简化每个供应商的业绩计量，并将业绩计量与提供的服务更多地挂钩，这些将进一步明确责任，减少管理强度。但在短期内，特别是在2012年调试阶段开始前，此举可能会在需求和风险都相当大的时候增加管理负担。", "45. 审计委员会还注意到，由于项目的总体进度在2010年出现拖延，已对调试流程作出重大修改。原先打算会议楼在秘书处大楼之前调试，如今不得不调换顺序，而且现在两个大楼的调试间隔很短或者没有间隔，从而增加了在移交期间出现问题的风险。审计委员会认为，根据施工方面的国际良好做法，并考虑到所涉费用，宜至少在完工后的第一年期间，保留至少一名基本建设总计划办公室的高级官员，在施工管理方资源的支助下，支持向设施管理处的移交工作，帮助将知识传授给新的团队，并且协助解决移交后不久可能出现的任何难题。", "46. 审计委员会确认2010年11月以来取得的进展，同时建议主管管理事务副秘书长作为一项高度优先的管理行动，每季度联合审查设施管理处和基本建设总计划办公室在调试和移交方面的准备情况。", "47. 审计委员会还建议行政当局考虑采取哪些方法留住基本建设总计划办公室的专门人才，以帮助向设施管理处移交的工作。", "6. 项目时标", "48. 在基本建设总计划办公室在加速战略四中发布的预测完工日期后3个月，第一批工作人员将开始搬回秘书处大楼。大会楼和会议楼的完工预计将推迟一年，而且有可能削减计划为图书馆楼和南配楼进行的工程。该战略的目的是到2013年年中完成基本建设总计划的全部工作(见附件二)。秘书长在第八次年度报告(A/65/511)中表明，完工日期已推至2013年下半年。审计委员会发现，最新进度表显示，项目已再次推迟。按照目前的预测，大会楼将于2014年年中完工。", "49. 事实证明，基本建设总计划办公室的预测历来过于乐观(见图三)。审计委员会担心一推再推的情况会继续下去，致使承包商费用和间接费用增加的风险加大。审计委员会注意到，由于大多数工作人员都是从周转办公楼搬回秘书处大楼，因此，秘书处大楼误期有可能对费用和联合国业务造成最严重的影响。因此，行政当局必须尽量减少秘书处大楼的延误。", "图三 基本建设总计划中三栋主楼的预期完工日期", "[]", "50. 审计委员会在2010年11月审查了基本建设总计划办公室的控制和管理工作，发现虽然每栋楼都有时间表，但却用手工汇总各时间表,因为时间表仍在编制中。审计委员会强调需要有一个全面汇总的时间表，并在2011年4月注意到，汇总时间表的工作已经完成。从程序上说，审计委员会相信，基本建设总计划办公室如今已经具备正确的工具和技术，能够对项目的时间表作出符合现实的预测。", "51. 但从实际情况来说，时间表极其紧张，几乎没有对再度拖延或工程变更的缓冲余地。鉴于迄今所见的拖延趋势(见图三)和时间表方面的其他压力，预料今后会再度拖延也许并非不现实。以下说明六大压力。", "52. 2012年圣诞节这段“空闲时期”甚为重要。2011年初将会议楼的预计完工日期推迟到2013年初。基本建设总计划办公室经与施工管理方合作，改变了办法，把完工日期提前到2012年12月21日，以便利用圣诞节这段“空闲时期”，搬迁重要的广播部门。如果错过这段时间，就得把会议楼的工作推迟到下一个“空闲时期”，即2013年年中，这有可能增加费用，并推迟大会楼的完工日期。保住这一时间表的另一个办法是，可能不得不花大钱在晚上和周末开工。", "53. 变更要求过多造成的延误风险。随着项目行将进入完工阶段，总部各部门需坚持原来的决定，避免提出变更。如B.4节中所释，用户要求的变更不仅昂贵，而且有可能推迟项目完工日期。", "54. 依靠第三方。时间表的关键路径有许多取决于行政当局不能直接控制的其他各方的工作。例如，富兰克林·罗斯福行车道上方的结构加固工作需要东道市当局签发许可证而且及时关闭车道；水电公司必须完成行车道和第一马路上的作业；东道市的电力公司必须完成地下室拱顶重要的关键路径接线。依靠第三方完成的这些工作虽然不可避免，但必定会造成不确定性，加大费用增加和时间表延误的风险。", "55. 虽然三栋主楼都有计划，但关于达格·哈马舍尔德图书馆和南配楼的意向还很不确定。图书馆和南配楼是大会在加速战略四中批准的基本建设总计划工程范围的一部分。审计委员会从基本建设总计划办公室获悉，按原定设想翻新这两栋大楼的最新预测费用是6 500万美元。基本建设总计划的商定预算没有为这两栋大楼分别确定费用。新的安保要求意味着翻新这两栋大楼的原定计划已不再可行。由于这两栋楼临近第42街，因此至今没有找到切实的解决办法。设计工作已经停顿，截至本报告提交之时，基本建设总计划办公室尚无关于这两栋大楼的可行方案。", "56. 更复杂的是，邻近街区可能有开发计划，或许会极大地排除或有可能完全排除所评估的安保风险。目前作出判断还为时过早，但这种不确定性的最终结果是此刻无法算出这两栋大楼的时间表。如果图书馆和南配楼要在基本建设总计划的时标内翻修，则必须至迟在2013年1月完成所需的采购。这意味着设计工作必须在2011年进行到相当程度。但此事取决于行政当局充分审查图书馆和南配楼的情况，确定如何处理基本建设总计划的这部分工程。", "57. 项目欢迎捐助资金，但这造成进度风险。会员国的捐助有助于为特定的室内设计提供资金，对基本建设总计划具有财政和历史意义。五个会员国总共捐助了600万美元，还有三个会员国正在考虑另作捐助。每个会员国都将推荐一名建筑师或设计师，与基本建设总计划办公室合作，详细规划捐助的空间。项目组与会员国的推荐人联合进行设计有可能推迟完工，除非有双方为设计决定商定的严格时限作指导。", "58. 审批最高限价保证合同方面的延误。审批合同的工作很费时，涉及到许多来来回回的步骤及其有关方之间的谈判。但审计委员会注意到，基本建设总计划办公室使用“任务订单”，在最高限价保证合同还在审查时就开始进行早期工程。审计委员会发现，从施工管理方提交最高限价保证合同到行政当局批准合同平均需要113天时间。为了赶上大楼的预测完工日期，会议楼和永久广播设施现有时间表假定的审批合同时间是42天。除非能够加快采购进程以求满足时间表要求，否则完工日期可能再度推迟。", "59. 审计委员会建议行政当局：", "(a) 紧急解决图书馆和南配楼的安保问题和没有可行设计方案的问题；", "(b) 确认这两栋楼是否仍在工程范围内，如果是这样，应如何解决安保方面的挑战；", "(c) 争取大会批准这两栋楼的拟议行动方案。", "60. 审计委员会还建议行政当局优先安排剩余最高限价保证合同和修正案的审批工作和时间，以便能够按照时间表的假设，在42天的期限内完成审批。", "7. 预算管理", "最新预算和预计最后费用", "61. 2006年批准18.77亿美元的基本建设总计划之后，又出现了两个供资来源。其一是五个会员国承诺提供共计600万美元的捐款，如上文所述。其二是东道国捐助1亿美元，用于强化安保升级。因此，基本建设总计划的订正预算目前共计19.83 亿美元左右。", "62. 据基本建设总计划办公室的咨询方案经理报告，项目预期最后费用的最新预测(截至2011年2月底)是20.61亿美元，比订正预算高出约7 900万美元(4%)。审计委员会注意到，这一预测费用没有包括已确认风险很可能产生的费用的备抵，没有关于项目完工前所有变更单所涉费用的可审计的有力估算，也没有反映所有预计的周转空间租用费用。因此，审计委员会认为，情况更有可能越来越糟而不是越来越好，但如果行政当局能够迅速而坚决地采取行动，充分解决本报告提出的关切问题，就能够尽量减少更多的超支和拖延。下表2显示主要费用历年的变化情况。", "表2

"[]", "来源：基本建设总计划办公室保存的数据分析。", "64. 应注意的要点是：", "• 预期最后建筑费用和管理费用近年来有所上涨，主要与强化安保升级有关", "• 意外开支历年来有所减少，2011年3月底为9 600万美元。近年来，由于合同价格低于预期价格，因此，尽管持续存在变更单的压力，但意外开支总额近年来呈缓慢下降趋势。由此产生的节余支撑了应急基金。", "预测、应急基金和费用不确定性", "65. 对任何重大项目来说，十分重要的是作出关于将来的最后费用的准确且最新预测，以便使客户以及治理和筹资负责人对所涉项目能否在预算拨款范围内完成有一个切合实际的期盼，而且如果发现费用不断上涨，可尽早采取适当行动。", "66. 审计委员会认为基本建设总计划办公室在记录实际费用方面采用的办法是有力的。对每项实际费用都进行详细记录，然后由施工管理方、咨询方案主管以及该办公室团队逐级审查。已建立了审计跟踪，而且采购司适当参与主要进程。", "67. 审计委员会认为，在规划今后最高限价保证工程和为工程费用提取备抵方面采用的办法也是有力的。由施工管理方和独立费用咨询人对费用进行估算，在这方面总的来说很少出现重大出入。实际上，估计费用总是高于实际市场价格，“价差节余”存入项目的应急基金。", "68. 不过，审计委员会认为，估计未来费用(例如已查明风险很可能发生的费用或今后的变更单)的办法欠缺分析性。这就造成了一种不确定性，无法确定剩余的应急准备金是否足以维持到项目完工，或者目前报告的超支是否会继续增加。该办法的主要缺欠如下：", "• 没有为应对变更单产生的持续影响规定具体或者量化的备抵。变更单趋势很明显，但是项目小组没有根据这种趋势预测变更的未来费用。所报告的应急基金数额是原应急基金总额与到目前为止变更所涉承付费用之间的差额。由于采取这种平衡总和的办法，错过了对未来变更费用作出更知情预测的良机，而这意味着总体费用预测未达到应有的准确度。", "• 风险登记册载列众多项目，这些风险一旦发生，将对费用产生不利影响，而基本建设总计划办公室却没有为应对这些风险可能造成的费用建立基于可能性的备抵或任何形式的备抵。", "69. 鉴于变更单方面的情况依旧、余下风险的规模和性质以及时间表方面继续面临的压力，审计委员会担心应急基金剩余的9 600万美元可能不够，且超出预算的数额可能高于目前报告的数额。审计委员会还注意到对预算造成额外压力的其他因素，例如：", "• 目前的费用预测包括直至2012年9月30日的周转办公楼租金，但是工作人员到2012年12月才能全部搬回秘书处大楼，周转办公楼租约到2013年4月才结束。因此，目前费用预测并未将所有周转办公楼预测费用都包括在内。基本建设总计划办公室和设施管理处目前正在就保留或终止哪些租约作出决定。该办公室最新建模表明，未编列预算的2012年９月至12月租金费用总额将达到2 220万美元。另外，提前终止租约所涉违约金可达2 370万美元。尚未就该办公室与管理处如何分担这些费用作出决定", "• 审计委员会已经注意到，为了遵守关键日期，可能需要夜间或周末开工。基本建设总计划办公室告知审计委员会，至少两份最高限价保证合同包括了一项关于可能需要加班的规定，并为此在合同范围内留出了备抵。并非所有合同都是这种情况，北草坪会议大楼和地下层的加快工程迄今的费用分别为500多万美元和300多万美元。按照变更单程序，这些费用均出自应急基金，但是正在进行的和未来的加快工程所涉费用很可能导致项目总费用增加", "• 迄今为止，行业承包商提出了两项额外付款要求。第一项要求看来不会增加预计最后费用，第二项要求有可能通过变更单来解决，因此有可能导致项目费用增加。另一个风险是，一些行业承包商被要求加快其在秘书处大楼的工程，这些承包商可能会要求额外付款。正在与行业承包商进行谈判，争取承包商同意在不要求支付额外费用的情况下加快工程进度", "• 虽然东道国为强化安保升级捐助了１亿美元，但审计委员会看到的基本建设总计划风险登记册最新版本确认这方面的费用总额存在不确定性。费用细目见本报告附件四。审计委员会注意到，最近会议楼钢结构的采购活动与预期相符。尽管如此，强化安保升级工程所涉费用是一个高风险领域，因为须经第三方批准，且须在富兰克林·罗斯福行车道封路。", "70. 审计委员会建议基本建设总计划办公室加强费用预测办法，将准确计算的项目竣工前所有变更单费用的可审计估计数都包括在内，并提取备抵，以应付风险登记册所列项目很可能发生的费用以及其他已知问题，例如因为进度延误导致延长办公楼租约。", "费用上涨准备金", "71. 秘书长过去提供的项目费用预测包括一笔应付未来费用通胀(“费用上涨”)的准备金。审计委员会注意到，现不再报告费用上涨准备金总数，尽管在次级项目一级依然列出具体准备金，占费用的1%至1%。据此，该项目预计最后费用中包括一笔应付费用上涨的款项，大约为1 700万美元。", "72. 审计委员会还注意到，2009年和2010年特纳建筑费用指数[3] 表明，近年来建筑费用通胀实际为负值(意味着报告的项目预测总额应呈下降趋势)。审计委员会的结论是，该项目近年对未来建筑费用通胀的估计过于谨慎，支持这一结论的事实是，该项目实际合同价格一直低于预测费用估计数(项目小组称其为“价差节余”，这些节余扩充了应急基金，如第67段所述)。", "73. 审计委员会建议基本建设总计划办公室：", "` (a) 审查其根据公布的指数就未来建筑费用通胀的影响编列准备金的办法；", "(b) 在预计通货膨胀率很低或为零时，澄清并简化其在这方面的报告。", "连带费用", "74. 除了基本建设总计划预算已经包括的费用外，还有各种用于货物或服务的其他“连带费用”，尽管是该计划的工程所需，但是并非总计划的翻修业务直接产生的费用，因此未列入最初预算。主要连带费用用于：", "• 整个楼群的家具购置(4 400万美元)", "• 新的永久性广播设施所需经费(4 000万美元)", "• 施工期间工地安保和安保培训所需额外安保资源(2 800万美元)", "• 后勤管理、资产追踪、视听设备迁移和中央支助事务厅临时额外人员编制(2 000万美元)", "• 建立档案(270万美元)", "• 修建初级安保指挥中心和实体安保系统(180万美元)。", "75. 2011年３月，向大会报告了连带费用的最新预测，数额为１.589亿美元。[4] 2011年4月大会要求秘书长将具体连带费用减少１300万美元，从而将最后支出预计数额降至大约1.459亿美元(见第65/269号决议)。审计委员会指出，上述1.459亿美元为直至2012年12月的连带费用；如果项目时间表拖延，超过该日期，将可能导致连带费用增加，因此有必要根据最新竣工时间表重新考虑费用假设。", "76. 连带费用的主要构成部分之一是整个楼群的家具购置。根据2011年2月向行政和预算问题咨询委员会提供的估计数，家具和系统家具[5] 费用为5 500万美元。基本建设总计划办公室正在拟订一项替代战略，其中包括提高现有家具的再利用率，少买新家具，将这方面的费用减少大约1 100万美元。该办公室告知审计委员会，就实物采购而言，该办公室有信心实现上述目标，但是目前正在评估该选择的可行性和所涉风险，评估其所带来的好处是否超过可能造成的费用。", "77. 大会曾要求基本建设总计划办公室在其预算范围内匀支连带费用以及二级外部数据中心的大部分费用(见大会第63/270和65/269号决议)。到目前为止，基本建设总计划办公室一直用该项目的现金储备支付连带费用，而预测表明无论其他费用压力如何，如果该项目继续为连带费用提供资金，2012年该项目将开始面临严重的现金流问题。", "78. 行政和预算问题咨询委员会在其关于基本建设总计划的报告(A/65/725)中关切地注意到匀支连带费用可能有困难，并建议大会请秘书长至迟于2011年第二季度提出提案，说明如何最有效地解决连带费用问题，包括为此改进费用——效率措施。", "79. 审计委员会对连带费用问题依然没有得到明确的解决表示关切，认为该项目可能无法匀支连带费用，除非缩小基本建设总计划的工程范围，或者把预计最后费用增至约22.27亿美元(见表3)。基本建设总计划办公室告知审计委员会，主管管理事务副秘书长将于2011年秋向大会提出为连带费用供资的战略。", "表3 基本建设总计划预计最后费用", "(百万美元)", "预计最后费用", "基本建设总计划目前预测 2 061.3", "连带费用 145.9", "二级数据中心 19.8", "共计 2 227.0", "来源：与二级数据中心有关的数据载于基本建设总计划办公室2011年3月向大会提供的补充资料。数据中心的预算包括大会批准的2 097万美元限定资金，这与预测连带费用不同，后者由大会每年审查和批准。关于连带费用数额的进一步说明见本报告Ｂ部分第七节。", "80. 审计委员会建议，为项目的确定性起见，行政当局和负责治理的人员应澄清连带费用的预算责任问题，就连带费用的供资方式作出明确决定。", "81. 审计委员会还建议行政当局在评估连带费用预测数时考虑到最新竣工时间表的全面影响。", "82. 行政当局告知审计委员会，将在第六十五届会议续会第一期会议期间与大会讨论连带费用之后，在大会第六十六届会议主要会期会议上在秘书长第九次年度进展报告中向大会提出经订正的连带费用预计数。行政当局还指出，大会一直明确规定连带费用必须在基本建设总计划预算范围内匀支(见第65/269号决议)。审计委员会依然认为，实际上这将导致项目工程范围缩小，或项目预算增加，依然需要更加明确、确定地说明解决这个问题的方式。", "8. 基本建设总计划的益处", "83. 任何组织进行大规模的办公楼翻修通常都会因为提高业务效率而节省大量费用，例如通过效率和产出率更高的空间利用和工作方法或者能效的提高。就基本建设总计划而言，主要益处是使办公室适合预定用途(例如通过拆除石棉、更换陈旧的供热和通风系统等途径)。还确认将节省大量能源。", "84. 审计委员会注意到，能效是该项目的主要目的之一，而且基本建设总计划办公室定期监测实现该目标方面的情况，将其作为进行中的设计进程的一部分。审计委员会还注意到，行政当局抓住了基本建设总计划许多潜在的范围更广的益处，例如，借此机会将主要高级管理团队集中在秘书处大楼，以利开展更有效的团队协作，而不是像以前那样简单地将人员安置在大楼。行政当局还打算为许多职等的工作人员采用一种更现代的开放式办公空间办法(而不是以前采用的蜂窝式办公空间布局)，这种办法可改善互动、团队协作以及沟通。", "85. 但是，审计委员会感到关切的是，行政当局未能利用这个机会促进更有效率地使用办公空间和实际节省费用，而是实行给每人分配一个办公桌的政策。实际上，从来没有一个组织100%的工作人员都同时坐在办公桌前的情况。因为工作人员出差、开会、请病假或休假，造成办公桌和办公室闲置。公共部门组织办公桌占用率为30%至50%的情况并非罕见。这意味着一个组织没有必要为足以供所有工作人员同时使用的办公桌和办公空间支付费用，可通过减少其支付费用的办公空间节省大量经费。", "86. 现在许多商业组织和公共部门组织都普遍采用了“办公桌轮用”做法，通过这种方法可灵活地使用办公桌空间，工作人员可以在任何空闲的办公桌使用计算机和工作，而不是为每个工作人员分配一个办公桌。各组织通过采取这种做法通常可减少30%的办公桌，从而大大节省办公空间租金、家具和能源费用。如果管理得当，并充分利用现有信息和通信技术，对业务成效并无负面影响，实际上因为能够方便地调移工作人员和灵活地重组团队而有所获益。", "87. 鉴于先前报告说费用可能超支，审计委员会认为，行政当局在最终确定联合国大院外办公楼座位分配办法之前应先研究如何利用这个减少费用的机会。如采用灵活的办公桌使用政策，秘书处大楼将可容纳更多的各部工作人员，联合国将得以进一步减少目前租用的办公楼。通过采取这样一项政策可使目前租金费用持续减少至少10%至20%，这并非不切合实际的期盼。", "88. 审计委员会还指出，基本建设总计划提供了一个重要的机会，促进记录和资料的数字化或者场外存档，从而简化办公记录管理。尽管基本建设总计划办公室在2008年发布了记录管理准则以指导数字化工作，但是秘书处大楼的楼层平面图上依然标有大量文件柜。咨询方案主管的预测表明，大楼的文件柜采购费用可达320万至640万美元，而且将占用大量楼层空间。", "89. 审计委员会的结论是，行政当局未能充分利用该项目可能提供的各种益处。", "90. 审计委员会建议行政当局：", "(a) 设立一个小规模的高级管理小组，负责审查该项目可能提供的各种益处，由一个独立的空间规划专家机构提供支助；", "(b) 确保该小组以系统、协调的方式审查各种益处。", "91. 审计委员会还建议行政当局考虑采取何种方式更有效率地使用空间，例如，采用“办公桌轮用”和减少实物文件柜空间的政策，并确保按照时间表迅速完成工作人员和办公室家具在联合国大院和其他办公楼内的搬迁。", "9. 更替规划和团队稳定性", "92. 基本建设总计划高度依赖少数的资深人员，这个问题被列入项目的风险登记册，其中提及一旦该团队的资深成员突然离开，可能失去相关知识，对决策和进度造成影响。随着项目完工日期邻近，这种风险将会加剧，因为此时个人，特别是那些持定期合同的个人，势必会关注自己今后的工作。这有可能导致项目工作人员的计划外减员。", "93. 基本建设总计划办公室共有26名工作人员，其中13人持长期合同，11人持定期合同，2人持短期合同，通常是临时人员合同。那些持长期合同的人将会寻找合适的内部职位，鉴于联合国内部征聘周期长，他们选定的离开日期可能不总是与基本建设总计划的剩余需要相一致。", "94. 审计委员会发现行政当局未制定有关计划，以使其在项目领导班子出现其他空缺时能够迅速填补。行政当局告知审计委员会，现行联合国人力资源管理细则和条例的规定使其无法制定这类计划，或作出快速反应。但是，审计委员会认为，确实存在无法迅速更替主要工作人员的风险，需要制定有效的减轻风险战略。", "95. 审计委员会建议行政当局制定一项减轻风险战略，以便在基本建设总计划办公室管理小组重要职位出现意外空缺时能够迅速填补。", "96. 审计委员会还建议行政当局考虑是否对参与联合国其他部门主要业务转型方案的其他小组也适用类似的安排。", "10. 采购", "国际采购", "97. 行政当局告知审计委员会，它从一开始就注意鼓励世界各地供应商最广泛地参与基本建设总计划。审计委员会注意到，基本建设总计划办公室继续探索让发展中国家和经济转型国家的供应商更多参与的各种途径。这包括登广告、举行巡回展和向各代表团发出普通照会，请其鼓励供应商投标。", "98. 截至2011年4月26日，从发展中国家和经济转型国家供应商采购的基本建设总计划物资和劳务略超过1 200万美元，占项目物资和劳务采购总量的2%。审计委员会确认，基本建设总计划办公室遵守联合国关于不得偏向任何特定国家投标者的采购规则。授予合同依据的是最低价格或最高性价比，行政当局告知审计委员会，东道国的供应商获得了大部分合同，原因是它们具有从当地而不是海外获取劳务和物资的相对优势。", "授标后审查委员会", "99. 审计委员会以前曾评论说，在基本建设总计划执行主任被授予很大权力的情况下，需要不断审查合同的授予和修订，以确保其符合联合国采购细则和条例，为今后的采购提供学习机会并对合同更改的合规性保持独立的管控。审计委员会在关于2008年12月31日终了年度的进展情况报告(A/64/5(Vol.V))中建议行政当局“采取适当措施，规范根据2007年11月15日核准的联合国主计长备忘录授予采购司司长的权力所进行的交易”。", "100. 审计委员会还建议，“只要不能保证事后审查程序，[行政当局]就应尽一切努力，让总部合同委员会在签署或修改总部合同委员会权力范围内的合同前，参与裁定过程”。审计委员会从更大的范围建议行政当局“考虑以何种方式和手段，大大加强对有关基本建设总计划的合同修改的内部控制”。", "101. 行政当局的回应是设立了向管理事务部报告的授标后审查委员会，对联合国内的采购进行审查和评论。该委员会将其职权范围理解为追溯审查价值在50万至500万美元的所有合同修改，以确定采购活动是否恰当。该委员会成立于2009年10月，但直到2010年4月才开始活动，原因是在就委员会的工作程序和成员达成一致意见方面出现拖延。", "102. 审计委员会了解到，授标后审查委员会在重审其工作程序，原因是其工作有很多积压。审计委员会作审计时，该委员会仅审查了154项相关合同修改中的13项。[6] 积压量目前还在增加，审计委员会担心，行政当局并没有从这个审查程序中获得更多的管控或时效价值。审计委员会还担心，如果当前的趋势继续下去，积压的工作可能会变得无法处理，并注意到基本建设总计划办公室的担心，即处理积压的工作也可能影响到采购司及时处理新合同和修订的能力，这又会影响到基本建设总计划的时间表。", "103.

\n富兰克林·罗斯福行车道的强化安保升级\t升级将涉及车道的关闭和结构性工程，需要州和市当局的许可。基本建设总计划办公室正在同上述当局联系，以拟订必要的工作时间表。不过，审计委员会强调这一问题是时间表的一个风险，因为得到许可对整个项目来说是一个关卡。据基本建设总计划办公室说，这一工作拖延一天，项目的完成就会拖延一天。\n\t为使工程按计划进行，至关重要的是，工程许可应允许一周至少四个晚上可以开工。即使商定了工程许可，这方面计划工程的时间表仍有许多不确定之处。一些施工只能在晚上进行，而且由于该工程大部分内容的性质，难以精确估计施工活动所需时间。\n会议楼\t对强化安保升级对时间表产生的影响的最初评估是，会议楼的完工将推迟到2013年。因这一日期不可接受，遂要求施工管理方修订时间表，减少给予每项任务的时间，并计划一些施工活动同时进行，由此将预计完工时间定在2012年12月21日。施工管理方在其2011年3月的月报中将此称为“抢时间进度表”，该公司还列出了为按时完工行政当局必须完成的一些关键行动。\n\t但是，基本建设总计划的总时间表尚不包括强化安保升级工程的所有方面。施工管理方正在更新时间表，但在提交本报告时，规划工作所依据的是当时图纸完成了60%的“施工文件”。最早在2011年5月27日才会产生完整的会议楼图纸。\n\t会议楼时间表只给出六周的时间，用于从施工管理方提交对最高限价保证合同的第一次修正到行政当局核可并签署该修正的过程。这一过程通常需要113天，或约16周(见B.6节)。虽然相对批准一项新的最高限价保证合同而言，批准一项最高限价保证合同的修正可能会需要较少的时间，但审计委员会认为，在时间表中给予这么短的时限是一种风险。\n\t同样，会议楼永久广播设施时间表中给予批准和签署最高限价保证合同的时间只有六周。如果没有永久广播设施，会议楼就不能够提供核心职能。审计委员会同样认为，给予这么短的六周时间对项目关键路径上的这项活动造成风险。\n大会大楼\t大会大楼定于2014年年中完工，以供2014年下半年进行一般性辩论所用。设计处在100%完成施工文件的阶段，不过，将在2011年期间编制一套更加详细的施工文件，届时该大楼的时间表就会更加确定。\n达格·哈马舍尔德图书馆和南配楼\t图书馆和南配楼的翻新属于项目的范围。但是，基本建设总计划办公室尚不能针对最近的安保评估就这些建筑提出令人满意的设计方案。设计工作已暂缓，现不清楚这方面的进展将会如何。虽然项目的高级总时间表显示了这项工程的指示性完工日期，但基本建设总计划的详细总时间表没有显示与这些建筑相关的采购和施工活动。\n第一大道新增安保措施\t作为强化安保升级的一个部份，将在第一大道增加新的安保措施。这是基本建设总计划项目的一个新增工程。计划在纽约市政当局拥有的土地上安装护柱、移动花坛和抗冲击装置和建造安检楼。因此，这项工程将需要同市政当局和公用事业公司进行周密联络。\n拆除北草坪会议大楼\t虽然大会在第65/269号决议中重申应拆除北草坪会议大楼，但拆除工作没有列入项目的每月时间表，秘书长的年度进展情况报告中也没有包括这项工程的时间表。不过，审计委员会的理解是，这项工程可能将在大会大楼完工后、在2014年下半年进行。\n地下楼层基础设施\t事实证明联合国楼群地下楼层的工程很困难，并有相当多的变更。不断的变更给时间表造成很大的不确定性。一个具体的不确定之处是装卸码头的时间表。设计意图尚未确定，而且工程可能会造成第四十八街交通流量的变化，因此需要有纽约市政当局的批准。\n秘书处大厦\t秘书处大厦的时间表原先是按自上而下的建筑和装修次序而定的。基本建设总计划办公室现在改变了计划，已请施工管理方先完成17至27层的施工，然后在较短的时限内完成1至10层的施工。最高限价保证合同中列出的整个大楼完工日期是2012年9月3日，但基本建设总计划办公室和施工管理方已非正式商定在2012年7月1日之前完成1至10层的施工。该办公室现想要将这一日期提前至2012年6月1日。这一时间表极具挑战，几乎没有出岔或延迟的余地。如果出现任何问题，就可能需要拨出更多资金来加速项目的构成成分；但这也会因秘书处大厦仅有一架外部升降机而受到限制。",

There are governance and stakeholdermanagement challenges involved in the project and at all times vitalUnited Nations operations must be sustained, many of which mustremain within the campus during construction.\nIn its resolution 57/292, the General Assembly stressed theimportance of oversight of the development and implementation of thecapital master plan, and requested the Board of Auditors to producean annual report on the project. The present report contains thefindings and recommendations of the Board’s annual review of progressof the capital master plan in compliance with the Assembly’s request. Overall conclusion of the Board \nThe Board recognizes that there have been important areas of progressregarding the capital master plan. More than 6,000 staff have beenmoved from their previous locations into temporary offices andimportant elements of the construction work went broadly as planned.The Board has also seen evidence of areas of good practice within thecapital master plan, for example, in the integrated team workingbetween the Office of the Capital Master Plan, its professionaladvisers and the main contractor. Budget and timetable risks \nDespite these examples of progress, major challenges lie ahead forthe capital master plan. The project, as at 31 March 2011, isforecasting a $79 million (4 per cent) overexpenditure against budgetand vital parts of the project are now behind schedule. The Boardnotes that this cost forecast does not include a provision for themost likely costs of identified risks and a robust and auditableestimate of the cost of all change orders until project completion,nor does the forecast reflect all projected swing space rental costs.The Board is therefore of the view that this situation is more likelyto worsen than improve, but that further overexpenditure and delaycan be minimized if the Administration is able to take quick and firmaction to fully address the concerns raised in the present report.The project is facing the following considerable cost and timepressures: • It is increasingly clear that the “associated costs” (which arerelated to the project, but not in the core scope or budget) cannotbe absorbed by the project, as the General Assembly had previouslyrequested, unless there is a significant reduction in scope • The approach taken to estimating future costs, such as the mostlikely cost of identified risks or future change orders, is notsufficiently analytical. This gives rise to uncertainty as towhether the remaining contingency allowance is sufficient to seethe project through to completion, or whether the current reportedoverrun will increase further • While the first migrations of staff back into the SecretariatBuilding on current plans are projected to begin three months afterthe completion projection published in September 2007 (acceleratedstrategy), the project has a history of time slippages. Pastforecasts have tended to be optimistic and the schedule for theConference and General Assembly Buildings has slipped considerablyfrom earlier estimates, for reasons discussed below \n• There remains no viable design solution for security requirementsrelating to the Dag Hammarskjöld Library and South Annex Buildings,and these elements of the project are currently on hold.\nAs the project approaches completion, some risks will pass and theprobability of unexpected cost increases will diminish. However, thecapacity of the capital master plan to absorb further time or costpressure is now limited and the Board concludes that at the time ofsubmission of the present report, there are significant additionalrisks of further cost increases and delays. Benefit and efficiency opportunities \nThe Administration is working to realize the wider opportunities forimproved communications and team-working presented by the capitalmaster plan throughco-locating senior management in the Secretariat Building andadopting open-plan rather than cellular office space. The Board isconcerned, however, that the Administration does not have astructured process for defining the desired benefits to be achievedfrom the project, or for maximizing them; nor is it taking fulladvantage of the potential for improved office solutions, such asflexible desk-use policies which could offer a major cost-savingopportunity by allowing more staff to be housed in the Secretariat,thus reducing ongoing rental cost liabilities and potential costoverruns. Such benefits remain achievable, but the Administrationwould need to adopt a rigorous, highly supportive, change managementapproach to handle the inevitable cultural changes necessary in staffworking practices.\nOverall, the Board concludes that despite the progress within thecapital master plan, the project is entering a critical phase wherethe flexibility to manage unexpected problems and pressures on costand time is greatly reduced. It is now clear the project will bedelivered late. The first migrations of staff back into theSecretariat Building will begin three months after the completionprojection issued by the Office of the Capital Master Plan inSeptember 2007 (accelerated strategy). The General Assembly andConference Buildings are now projected to be delayed by a year, andthere is the potential for scope reductions to the planned work onthe Library and South Annex Buildings. The current cost forecast is$79 million (4 per cent) overbudget and there are significant risksthat, if not firmly mitigated, could further increase delays andincrease costs beyond the overexpenditure which is currentlyforecast. The Administration will have to act decisively if it is torealize the full benefits and opportunities presented by this once ina generation refurbishment. Main findings and recommendations \nThe project completion date has slipped from mid-2013 to mid-2014 andthe cost forecast is some 4 per cent over the current revised budgetapproved by the General Assembly, taking account of commitments fordonations and the funds for security enhancements. The Office of theCapital Master Plan is reporting the forecast final cost for thewhole project as $2,061 million, some $79 million over budget, andthe completion of the General Assembly Building in mid-2014 will be ayear later than the date set out in the revised accelerated scheduleowing mainly to the security-related scope changes. Significantpressures have had and continue to have an impact on the cost,schedule and the scope of the project, including new securityrequirements necessitating some $100 million of protective work,supported by host nation funding.\nThe overall cost forecast does not explicitly allow for the cost ofchange orders, or make provision for the most likely costs of therisks in the risk register. Accurate and transparent cost forecastingon a project such as this is vital if management and those chargedwith governance are to act quickly and effectively to maintain fullbudgetary control. At the time of submission of the present report,the cost forecast does not include a robustly calculated andauditable estimate for the cost of all change orders until projectcompletion and there is no provision for the most likely costs ofidentified risks. The full cost for renting temporary swing spacealso needs to be assessed and reflected in the cost forecast. As aresult, the Board cannot provide assurance on the accuracy of theforecast costs to complete the project.\nThe lack of a workable design solution in the Dag HammarskjöldLibrary and South Annex Buildings has put these elements of theproject on hold. Following an assessment of the resilience of thebuildings to explosive impact, the Office of the Capital Master Planhas put the design on hold pending further discussions withauthorities of New York City and adjacent property owners whose plansmay have a bearing on the solution. The Board was informed by theOffice that the latest forecast cost for renovating the Library andthe South Annex Buildings, as originally intended, is $65 million.The agreed budgets for the capital master plan do not separatelyidentify the costs for these buildings.\nThe Office of the Capital Master Plan has no capacity to absorb theassociated costs (some $146 million) within its budget. Theassociated costs are made necessary by the project, but are notwithin the project’s direct scope of responsibility, nor were theyincluded in the original budget for the capital master plan. Althoughthe General Assembly had requested that the capital master planabsorb these costs, the Board concludes that this is no longer arealistic request without reductions in the scope of the plan or anincrease in the cost overrun already reported by the project.\nThe capital master plan lacks effective control over the volume ofchanges to the project and continues to experience a large number ofchanges driven by the end occupiers and incomplete designs. Changesare a common feature of all construction projects, but can lead torisks of delay and increased costs. Effective change control istherefore a well-recognized success factor, where typically theeventual occupants or users are adequately consulted early in thedesign phase and the change process, after the design is finalized,is characterized by clear rules, strong governance and robustmanagement to minimize changes. The designs for some phases of thecapital master plan were not completed at the time of initialcontract bidding and, in order to protect the project schedule,contracts are knowingly awarded on the basis of incomplete designs.In such circumstances it is even more essential that effectiveprocedures are in place to minimize and control changes, and toforecast the likely costs of future changes and process change ordersefficiently. The Office of the Capital Master Plan has a robustprocess in place to handle change orders once they have arisen, butthe Administration has not established an effective system tominimize the volume of changes from the outset and the continuingrate of changes and the increasing time it is taking to resolvechanges, if not tackled now, will lead to further cost increases anddelays.\nThe handover process from the Office of the Capital Master Plan tothe Facilities Management Service is a critical risk area. Drawing onthe lessons from the handover of the North Lawn Building, which wasnot a smooth process, the Facilities Management Service is recruitingmore staff to work with the capital master plan, providing additionaltraining to its operational staff and engaging a consultant tosupport the handover process. Despite such positive actions, theBoard regards the readiness of the Service as a high-risk areabecause any delays at the handover stage in the project willinevitably increase costs.\nIn light of the foregoing findings the Board makes detailedrecommendations in the main body of the present report. TheAdministration accepted all of the Board’s recommendations with oneexception: the recommendation that greater certainty is establishedon the funding for associated costs. The Administration considersthat the General Assembly, in its resolution 65/269, makes it clearthat the costs are absorbed into the budget of the capital masterplan. The comments of both the Administration and the Board on thisissue are reflected in paragraphs 80 to 82. In summary, the main recommendations are that: • The Office of the Capital Master Plan strengthen its approach toforecasting future costs by including a robustly calculated andauditable estimate for the cost of all change orders until projectcompletion and by allowing for the most likely costs of identifiedrisks • The Administration review the situation regarding the Library andSouth Annex Buildings, and decide a way forward • The Administration and those responsible for governance rapidlyresolve the untenable situation arising from the associated costs • The Administration establish effective change control governanceto minimize occupier-driven changes \n• The Administration monitor, on a quarterly basis, thecommissioning arrangements between the Facilities ManagementService and the Office of the Capital Master Plan. Implementation of previous recommendations \nOf the 20 recommendations the Board made in its report for the yearended 31 December 2009 (A/65/5 (Vol. V)), 9 (45 per cent) were fullyimplemented, 5 (25 per cent) were under implementation, 5 (25 percent) were not implemented, of which 3 have now been superseded bynew recommendations, and 1 (5 per cent) has been overtaken by events.The Board reiterates the recommendations from its previous reportthat have not been superseded or overtaken by events, but have notyet been fully implemented.", "A. Mandate, scope and methodology", "1. The capital master plan is the refurbishment of the United Nations Headquarters campus complex in New York. It was established pursuant to General Assembly resolution 55/238 and initially funded through an appropriation from the United Nations regular budget. The Assembly then established a special account for the capital master plan in section II, para. 24, of its resolution 57/292. Subsequently, appropriations were made to the special account from assessments on Member States. The financial position of the capital master plan is reported as part of statement IX, United Nations capital assets and construction in progress, of the financial statements of the United Nations (see A/66/5 (Vol. I)). Any unexpended balances of appropriations are carried forward into the succeeding biennium until the project is completed.", "2. The General Assembly, in its resolution 57/292, stressed the importance of oversight of the development and implementation of the capital master plan, and requested the Board of Auditors to submit an annual report to the Assembly on the project.", "3. In drafting the present report, the Board of Auditors examined the progress of the capital master plan since the preparation of its previous report (A/65/5 (Vol. V)) and the way in which risks associated with the project have been determined and are being managed. The primary objectives of the Board’s examination were:", "• To assess progress in implementing the Board’s previous recommendations", "• To assess progress within the capital master plan since the Board’s previous annual report", "• To assess whether the capital master plan is likely to be delivered within budget and within its intended schedule", "• To make new recommendations aimed at further strengthening the management of the capital master plan.", "4. The Board has worked closely with the Office of Internal Oversight Services to understand the results of recent internal audits, coordinate its respective audit work and minimize the demands placed upon the Office of the Capital Master Plan.", "5. The present report addresses matters which, in the view of the Board, should be brought to the attention of the General Assembly. The Board’s observations and conclusions were discussed with the Administration, whose views have been appropriately reflected in the report.", "B. Findings and recommendations", "1. Follow-up of previous recommendations of the Board of Auditors", "6. Of the 20 recommendations the Board of Auditors made in its report for the year ended 31 December 2009 (A/65/5 (Vol. V)), 9 (45 per cent) were fully implemented, 5 (25 per cent) were under implementation and 5 (25 per cent) were not implemented. The five that have not been implemented relate to the following matters:", "• Thirteen areas around the campus had been sponsored by Member States prior to the capital master plan and it was not clear whether they would remain as sponsors of those areas after the refurbishment. The Board previously recommended refining the policy regarding the handling and restoration of those sponsorships during and after the capital master plan project to provide clarity on this issue. The Board reiterates its previous recommendation", "• The Board noted that the recommendation to establish a post-contract-award review process has been implemented, but that the process is not working as intended. The Board covers this point again in section B.10 of the present report", "• The remaining three recommendations relate to cost forecasting and contingency setting, and have now been superseded by new recommendations in this present report.", "7. The Board reiterates the recommendations from its previous report that have not been superseded but have not yet been fully implemented (see A/65/5 (Vol. V), paras. 31, 62, 67, 112, 118, 129 and 147). It also considers that one (5 per cent) of the recommendations from that report has now been overtaken by events. It concerns delays in the contract negotiations for the Conference Building. Changes to the Conference Building plans to include new security requirements mean that this recommendation has been overtaken by events.", "2. Background and financial position", "8. The need for a total refurbishment of the United Nations Headquarters in New York was identified during the late 1990s. In June 2000 the Secretary-General’s report on the capital master plan (A/55/117) clearly articulated the need for refurbishment and presented a range of potential approaches. The preferred option was a six-year refurbishment costing some $964 million and involving construction activity of up to 30 per cent of the campus at any one time.", "9. From 2000 onward, further design and construction cost estimates were developed, and in February 2003 the Secretary-General established the Office of the Capital Master Plan to deliver the project. The General Assembly provides formal oversight to the project and while the Secretary-General is responsible for delivery of the project’s objectives, this responsibility is delegated to the Under-Secretary-General for Management, who is also responsible for providing a range of services that support the operations of the United Nations in New York. The Executive Director of the capital master plan reports to the Under-Secretary-General for Management.", "10. In November 2005, in his third annual progress report on the implementation of the capital master plan (A/60/550), the Secretary-General proposed a budget of $1,588 million to deliver the capital master plan. In his fourth annual progress report of October 2006 (A/61/549), the Secretary-General explained that the budget had increased to $1,646 million because changes in market conditions had increased construction costs and professional fees. In his report the Secretary-General also recognized the need for additional scope, including extra blast security and information technology backup systems and security. With the additional scope, the projected total cost for the project was $1,877 million. On 22 December 2006, in its resolution 61/251, the General Assembly decided to approve the revised project budget and the proposed phased approach to construction (strategy IV).", "11. In September 2007 the Secretary-General, in his fifth annual progress report (A/62/364), noted delays in implementing strategy IV, referring to the complexities of United Nations decision-making and the resignation of the Executive Director of the capital master plan. The Secretary-General estimated the final cost of the project to be $2,096 million, some $220 million over budget, mainly because of slippage in the schedule and the associated impact of price inflation on construction and rental costs.", "12. The Secretary-General then proposed accelerated strategy IV, involving a shorter period of renovation, fewer phases of construction and less disruption to United Nations operations. The revised estimated final cost was $2,067 million, some $190 million above the budget. The General Assembly took note of the Secretary-General’s proposal on the accelerated strategy IV in its resolution 62/87.", "13. Accelerated strategy IV is now being implemented. In October 2010, in his eighth annual progress report (A/65/511), the Secretary-General stated that 75 per cent of the capital master plan commitments had been procured and locked in, and the projected cost was $1,957 million, some $80 million above the budget.", "14. Cumulative expenditure on the capital master plan as at 31 December 2010 was $1,335 million (see table 1). The decrease in expenditure in 2010 ($406 million in 2010 compared to $584 million in 2009) reflects the delay to construction activity caused by the need for the Office of the Capital Master Plan to address the enhanced security upgrade, described in section B.3 below:", "Table 1 Capital master plan expenditure", "Expenditure Share of the (thousands of total United States (percentage) dollars)\n Item Pre-2007^(a) 2007 2008 2009 2010 Total Pre-2007^(a) 2007 2008 2009 2010 Total", "Salaries and 8 414 3 236 3 999 5 005 5 080 25 734 12.2 7.0 1.7 0.9 1.3 1.9 other staff expenditure", "Travel 74 25 30 35 9 173 0.1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0", "Contractual 58 425 30 279 105 21 145 23 920 238 838 84.6 65.3 45.8 3.6 5.9 17.9 services 069", "Operating 1 865 9 912 20 189 35 626 84 835 152 427 2.7 21.4 8.8 6.1 20.9 11.6 expenses", "Acquisitions 284 2 942 100 522 292 917 729 0.4 6.3 43.7 89.4 72.0 68.7 324 030 149", "Subtotal 69 062 46 394 229 583 405 1 334 100 100 100 100 100 100 611 841 993 901", "Cancellation 1 531 10 1 438 2 055 7 062 12 096 — — — — — — of prior-period obligations", "Total 67 531 46 384 228 581 398 1 322 — — — — — — 173 786 931 805", "Source: Interim financial statements of the United Nations for the 12-month period of the biennium 2010-2011 ended 31 December 2010 and calculations by the Board of Auditors.", "^(a) The pre-2007 period covers 2001 to 2006.", "15. Section B.7 of the present report sets out how the budget for the capital master plan has now been revised to include additional scope and sources of funding. The latest forecast from the consultant programme managers in the Office of the Capital Master Plan at the end of February 2011 was that the projected cost is now $2,061 million, some $79 million above the revised budget. The Board notes that this forecast does not include a provision for the most likely costs of identified risks and a robust and auditable estimate for the cost of all change orders until project completion, nor does it reflect all projected swing space rental costs.", "3. Main areas of progress", "16. The capital master plan is a large and challenging refurbishment project. Such projects have particular risks over new-builds because the condition of existing structures is often difficult to survey accurately. The late discovery of unanticipated problems with the existing conditions can lead to additional work and cost and time slippages. In the case of old buildings, such as the United Nations campus, the lack of original “as built” construction records can be particularly challenging. Moreover, the governance, communications and stakeholder management are also complex. Such complexities require rigorous project controls and processes. The Board has seen evidence of areas of good practice within the capital master plan, for example, in the integrated team working between the Office of the Capital Master Plan, its professional advisers and the main contractor.", "17. In its aforementioned report for the year ended 31 December 2009, the Board reported that the capital master plan was approximately six months behind the initial schedule for accelerated strategy IV and the Office of the Capital Master Plan was projecting a final cost of $1,972 million, which was $95.2 million above the $1,877 million budget. The Board, however, notes that the whole project was affected in 2010 by a change in the design which was required to achieve greater structural protection against explosive impact. In the years prior to 2010 the growing frequency and intensity of terrorism threats, sometimes specifically against the United Nations, meant that security standards were constantly under review, with an associated ongoing and changing appreciation of the effect on the design standards relating to the capital master plan.", "18. In general, the United Nations bears the cost of maintaining a secure environment within its site boundaries and the relevant host country (or any relevant political subdivision) is responsible for maintaining security beyond the United Nations site limits. In New York a specific complexity arises because the United Nations buildings overhang the Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive. The physical boundary is not vertical, hence the security responsibilities of the United Nations and the host country are less clear-cut than usual. There was a need to arrive at a clear understanding about the respective responsibilities of the host country and the United Nations and about the necessity to take joint action, and within the United Nations, while there was a growing understanding that changes might be required to the Conference Building, the nature and extent remained unclear for some time.", "19. The situation crystallized in late 2010 with agreement by the host country authorities and the United Nations on the design requirements, physical solution and respective responsibilities, followed by agreement in January 2011 with the host country on a financial contribution to the estimated $100 million of additional costs for what is termed the “enhanced security upgrade”.[1] The implementation of the security enhancements was authorized by the General Assembly in April 2011 in its resolution 65/269. The search for a solution to the security issues has been the main contributory factor to a nine-month delay in the Conference Building completion date, which created a knock-on nine-month delay to the General Assembly completion date. The Board comments in the relevant sections of the present report on the impact of the enhanced security upgrade on the project schedule, scope and costs.", "20. At the time of submission of the present report, the capital master plan is being delivered under 22 “guaranteed maximum price” contracts, including 7 guaranteed maximum price proposals which have been bundled into 1 guaranteed maximum price contract. Changes to the contracts are priced and evaluated on an individual basis, and the contracts are large enough so that any one change order is unlikely to be disruptive. The multicontract arrangement does, however, create the following risks:", "• If the intended scope within a guaranteed maximum price contract has to change, the costs of the changes can represent reduced value for money, in particular if the changes create disruption and reduced efficiency for the suppliers", "• Ensuring coordination between the various designs and construction contracts, achieving efficient and smooth timing of the flow of the work, and avoiding gaps in scope or inconsistencies between the packages becomes much more challenging.", "21. The Board recognizes that the United Nations continues to bear the risks in the areas outlined above, but notes that the capital master plan team is taking reasonable steps to minimize the financial and schedule risk. A single guaranteed maximum price contract for the full scope of the project would have been impractical given that the design was not ready at the outset and indeed is still not complete. If a single guaranteed maximum price contract approach had been pursued, contractors are likely to have submitted higher prices in order to reflect increased risks, which would not have represented value for money. The project team fully understands the risks of the multiple guaranteed maximum price contract approach, and the importance of minimizing change orders and coordinating the interfaces between the guaranteed maximum price contracts carefully in order to contain costs and protect the schedule.", "22. Although the project is now predicting significant delays, with the General Assembly and Conference Buildings projected to be delayed by a year, the Board acknowledges the progress achieved given the complexities and challenges faced by the project team. The achievements include the completion of the North Lawn Building and the decant of staff into temporary swing space office accommodation, involving some 6,000 person moves, while maintaining United Nation operations and the continuance of General Assembly business.", "23. Progress highlights since the Board’s last report include the completion of a new technology centre in the second basement level of the North Lawn Building as well as other vital infrastructure works. Hoists on the Secretariat and Conference Buildings have also been erected, enabling asbestos removal and other demolition to commence. At the time of the audit, asbestos removal and demolition was complete on 21 of the 39 floors of the Secretariat Building and installation of the new glass curtain wall on 18 floors of that building had been completed by the end of April 2011.", "4. Change control", "24. Once the work has started in any construction project, changes can and do occur. High levels of changes are a risk because of the potential to increase costs and delay project delivery. Indeed, effective change control is a well-recognized feature of successful construction projects where once, often after extensive consultation, the design is finalized, clear rules and strong governance and management are established to minimize changes. Both the Board and the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) have raised concerns in previous reports about the level of change within the capital master plan. In light of this the Board again analysed the extent of change within the project.", "25. The Board found that the capital master plan continues to experience a significant level of change, from a variety of sources. The design for the plan was not completed on time and in order to protect the project schedule, guaranteed maximum price contracts are knowingly awarded on the basis of incomplete designs. This is a strategy which can necessitate a high volume of change orders as the design develops further and it is therefore essential that effective procedures are in place to minimize unnecessary changes, forecast the likely costs of future changes and process change orders efficiently. Other changes are being generated by the future users in the various Headquarters departments.", "26. The Office of the Capital Master Plan has a robust process in place to handle change orders once they have arisen. However, the Administration has not established an effective system to minimize the volume of changes from the outset and, as a result, the project is characterized by large amounts of ongoing and costly change. The total volume and value of change orders continues to increase within the capital master plan, and as at 5 April 2011, the construction manager had issued 1,116 change order requests, with a value of some $103 million. Figures I and II demonstrate a continuing trend in both the number and value of change orders since the project began. These figures also show that changes have occurred at a fairly constant rate and while it is inevitable that this rate will decline as the project nears completion, there is no sign yet of such a decrease.", "Figure I Cumulative number of change orders", "[]", "Source: Analysis of change order data held by the Office of the Capital Master Plan.", "Figure II Cumulative value of change orders", "[]", "Source: Analysis of change order data held by the Office of the Capital Master Plan.", "27. The Board is of the view that without action by the Administration to address the reasons for the changes, the trends demonstrated in figures I and II are likely to continue. With the project’s schedule under pressure, there comes a point at which this rate of change will result in additional delays. Moreover, with the remaining contingency now at a reduced level, the trend in changes represents a serious pressure on the ability of the capital master project to complete the work within the allocated budget. The Board comments on these issues later in the present report.", "28. The capital master plan requires approval of contractors’ cost estimates before the work begins. Where approval timescales are judged to delay work that is on the critical path, there is an accelerated procedure called the “change order value to be determined” process. This process, to protect the critical path, involves initiating work before contractors provide firm prices. The procedure was established in March 2010 following recommendations from OIOS that the Office of the Capital Master Plan should stop using work authorization forms to commence works that will be included as changes to a guaranteed maximum price contract and ensure that change orders are approved in advance of associated works commencing.", "29. The Board was informed by the Office of the Capital Master Plan of improvements made to the change order process in response to interim recommendations from the Board, such as, for example, weekly meetings between the construction manager and the Office to prioritize change orders. The Board found, however, that the change order authorization process remains labour-intensive and time-consuming. Change orders may be initiated at the request of the Office or the construction manager. The construction manager obtains cost estimates from trade contractors for the required work and, once it is content with the estimates, passes them to the Office for approval. The orders are then subject to review by the designers, consultant programme manager, project managers and Director of Construction in the Office prior to approval. Change orders may be approved using the established procurement procedures, or by the capital master plan Executive Director under his delegated authority.", "30. The Executive Director was granted delegated authority to approve change orders, subject to an ex post facto review by the Post-Award Contract Review Committee, following a recommendation from OIOS (see A/63/266). The delegation of authority is limited so that the total of change orders approved by the Executive Director for a contract cannot exceed 10 per cent of its value and a single order cannot exceed $5 million. The delegated authority does not extend to authority to make major changes to the project scope and the Board notes that the General Assembly, in its resolution 65/269, authorized the work for the enhanced security upgrade.", "31. On many major public sector projects, the Board is aware that delegated authority levels are used, within project teams, to increase the speed of the change order process by ensuring that the lower-value change orders are evaluated by lower-level staff and the higher-value change orders are evaluated by senior management. Within the capital master plan project team there are no such delegated authorities, which is unusual. When the Board examined this issue in November 2010, change orders, together with allowance requests, were taking an average of 114 working days in elapsed time to resolve.[2] As at 5 April 2011, the Board found that the process was taking on average four days longer than in November 2010, that is, 118 days. The Office of the Capital Master Plan informed the Board that the majority of the processing time relates to the evaluation of the legitimacy of change order requests by the architectural and engineering firms, and cost review by the programme management firm.", "32. The Board considers that the change order process continues to be too time-consuming. The consequential delays are problematic for trade contractors, as the process delays payments to them and adversely affects their cash flow. The construction manager regards this as a risk, potentially reducing trade contractors’ goodwill and increasing the prospect of claims as a result of delays and disruption.", "33. The Board recommends that the Office of the Capital Master Plan significantly reduce the processing time and backlogs in the change order approvals process so that contractors get paid within the timescales stated in their contracts or, where contracts are silent on this matter, within 30 days after completing a change order. The latter arrangement is consistent with the time allowed to make payment under a guaranteed maximum price contract.", "Managing changes requested by occupiers", "34. The Board notes that the process of moving staff into temporary swing space resulted in a large number of changes, providing useful insights about user behaviour and the effectiveness of the project’s demand-led change management processes. While occupiers wanted many modifications to their spaces, under the current arrangements they are not accountable for the costs of the changes they requested. There is a risk that occupiers will continue to request large numbers of changes, in particular during the ongoing process of agreeing to final floor plans within the Secretariat Building, as acknowledged in the project’s risk register.", "35. The Board recognizes that many departments may not be familiar with engineering drawings or floor layouts, hence the need for potential changes sometimes only emerges when each area approaches completion. Nevertheless, the Board considers that if the volume of changes experienced to date continues, the chances of completing the project according to the current time and budgets will be at risk.", "36. There are many examples of international good practice where projects have succeeded in minimizing changes driven by the eventual building occupants by ensuring that occupants are adequately consulted early in the design phase and that the change process after finalization of the design is characterized by clear rules, strong governance and robust management. The capital master plan is not following good practice in this regard and this is directly contributing to additional cost and time pressures.", "37. The Board found that the Administration has not established from the outset of the project a robust occupier-related change control mechanism and clear accountabilities to control the level, nature and costs of changes being requested by occupier departments and offices, and to ensure that the cost implications of changes are appreciated fully. The Office of the Capital Master Plan instead relies on the goodwill and cooperation of occupier departments and seeks to achieve this by providing information packs relating to the physical layouts of their spaces. The Board, however, considers that relying on cooperation is insufficient at this stage of the project. There is now an increasing risk of delays associated with any major changes to the Secretariat Building floor plans in particular, potentially preventing the completion of that building in the time specified within the schedule.", "38. The Board recommends that the Administration, working with the Office of the Capital Master Plan:", "(a) Immediately review the change orders trends and identify the reasons and source of requests for changes;", "(b) Establish clear rules, strong governance and robust management to minimize occupier-driven changes.", "5. Handover of buildings to the Facilities Management Service", "39. On any project, the handover from the construction to live building operations involves what is called a “commissioning phase”. This involves testing the functions of the building, including its plant and building control systems, and often involves substantial training for the facility management function and its suppliers. In the case of the United Nations, the commissioning phase represents a bigger challenge than usual, because antiquated systems are being replaced by unfamiliar state-of-the-art computer-driven ones that will control modern plant and machinery. The incumbent staff in the Facilities Management Service will have to acquire new skills ahead of the commissioning process.", "40. It is vitally important that the Facilities Management Service is ready to take responsibility for buildings promptly at the dates agreed with the Office of the Capital Master Plan. Failure to do so is very likely to result in prolonged or disruptive handover sequences, additional costs from, for example, longer temporary office rentals, and potential disruptions in the delivery of United Nations business.", "41. In November 2010 the Board noted that a full transfer of responsibility from the Office of the Capital Master Plan to the Facilities Management Service was not achieved for the North Lawn Building until 10 months after the planned handover date. A combination of issues arising both within the Service (including lack of preparedness and lack of resources) and within the Office (including ongoing changes and incomplete “as built” drawings) meant that the handover to the Service had to be delayed.", "42. The risk register of the capital master plan identifies a specific risk regarding handover and commissioning within the basements which house the United Nations technology, information technology, security control rooms and other critical mechanical and electrical systems. As such, they have far greater significance than any of the work handed over so far because of the complexity of the infrastructure technology and because the campus buildings cannot function without that infrastructure.", "43. In an interim management letter on the capital master plan in early 2010 the Board recommended tightening the planning for commissioning and handover. The Board notes that, subsequently, the Office of the Capital Master Plan and the Facilities Management Service have built on the lessons learned from the experiences associated with the North Lawn Building and have now developed a jointly agreed handover process between the two parties. The Service is also:", "• Recruiting more staff specifically dedicated to working with the Office of the Capital Master Plan", "• Providing additional training to its operational staff on managing modern building management systems", "• Engaging a consultant to support the handover process.", "44. The Board also notes that the Facilities Management Service is embarking on a major internal project to update its procurement approach and the way it delivers its services. In the long run the Board regards this as the right approach. Having fewer suppliers each with simpler performance measures that are related more to service provision will increase clarity of responsibility and reduce management effort. In the short term, however, and in particular in the run-up to the commissioning process in 2012, this potentially represents an additional management burden at a time of significant demand and risk.", "45. The Board also notes that as a result of slippages in the overall project schedule in 2010, the commissioning sequence has been changed significantly. The intended sequence in which the Conference Building was to be commissioned ahead of the Secretariat Building has had to be reversed and there is now little or no gap between the two sequences, increasing the risk of problems occurring during handover. The Board considers that, in line with international good practice in construction and taking account of the cost implications, there could be benefits in retaining at least one senior official from the Office of the Capital Master Plan supported by resources from the construction manager, for at least the first year after completion, to support handover to the Facilities Management Service, facilitate a transfer of knowledge to the new team and assist if any difficulties should arise in the early stages post-handover.", "46. While recognizing the progress made since November 2010, the Board recommends that the Under-Secretary-General for Management should, as a high priority management action, review jointly the state of readiness for commissioning and handover within the Facilities Management Service and the Office of the Capital Master Plan on a quarterly basis.", "47. The Board also recommends that the Administration consider ways to retain expertise from the Office of the Capital Master Plan to support the handover to the Facilities Management Service.", "6. Project timescales", "48. The first migrations of staff back into the Secretariat Building will begin three months after the completion projection issued by the Office of the Capital Master Plan in the accelerated strategy IV, the General Assembly and Conference Buildings are projected to be delayed by a year and there is the potential for scope reductions to the planned work on the Library and South Annex Buildings. The strategy aimed to complete all aspects of the capital master plan by mid-2013 (see annex II), the Secretary-General, in his eighth annual report (A/65/511) showed the completion date had slipped to late 2013 and the Board found that the most recent schedule indicates the project has slipped further and the General Assembly Building is now projected to be completed in mid-2014.", "49. Over time, the forecasts of the Office of the Capital Master Plan have proved to be optimistic (see figure III). The Board is concerned that the pattern of slippage will continue, increasing the risk of higher contractor costs and overheads. The Board notes that delays to the Secretariat Building will potentially have the greatest impact on cost and disruption to United Nations operations because it houses the majority of staff being moved back from the swing space. It is therefore imperative that the Administration keep delays to the Secretariat Building to a minimum.", "Figure III Anticipated completion dates for the three main buildings of the capital master plan", "[]", "Source: United Nations Board of Auditors (see note).", "Note: The anticipated completion dates are taken from the Secretary-General’s annual reports, except for April 2011 data, which were obtained during the Board’s fieldwork. The annual reports state anticipated completion dates in the form of early, mid or late parts of the year. The graph plots “early” as 28 February, “mid” as 30 June and “late” as 31 October.", "50. The Board examined the controls and management processes of the Office of the Capital Master Plan in November 2010 and found that while schedules existed for each individual building, integration between the schedules was a manual process, as the schedule was still under development. The Board highlighted the need for a fully integrated schedule and in April 2011 noted that work to integrate the schedule had been completed. In process terms, the Board believes that the Office now has the right tools and techniques in place to enable realistic forecasting of the project schedule.", "51. In practical terms, however, the schedule is extremely tight and little potential remains to absorb additional delays or scope changes. Given the trend of slippage seen so far (see figure III) and other pressures on the schedule, it may be realistic to expect further slippages in future. The six main pressures are described below.", "52. The importance of the “quiet period” over Christmas 2012. In early 2011 the forecast completion date for the Conference Building slipped to early 2013. The Office of the Capital Master Plan, working with the construction manager, altered its approach to bring forward the completion date to 21 December 2012 in order to take advantage of the “quiet period” over Christmas to move vital broadcast services. Missing this window would push back the Conference Building work to the next “quiet period”, in mid-2013, potentially increasing costs and delaying the General Assembly Building. Alternatively, it may become necessary to initiate costly night and weekend working in order to protect the schedule.", "53. The risks of delays associated with excessive change orders. As the project moves towards its completion phase, the Headquarters departments need to stick to decisions and resist making changes. As explained in section B.4, changes from the occupiers are costly and have the potential to delay project completion.", "54. Dependencies on third parties. The schedule’s critical path contains many dependencies on the work of other parties who are not under the direct control of the Administration. For example, the structural reinforcement work above the Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive requires permits and timely lane closures from the host city authorities, utility companies have to complete work on the Drive and on First Avenue, and the host city electrical utility has to complete essential critical path connections in the basement vault. Such third-party dependencies, while inevitable, create inherent uncertainties and raise the risks of cost increases and schedule delay.", "55. Although plans are in place for the three main buildings, there are major uncertainties about the intentions for the Dag Hammarskjöld Library and South Annex Buildings. The Library and South Annex are part of the capital master plan’s scope of work approved by the General Assembly under accelerated strategy IV. The Board was informed by the Office of the Capital Master Plan that the latest forecast cost for renovating those buildings as originally intended is $65 million. The agreed budgets for the capital master plan do not separately identify the costs for those buildings. The new security requirements mean that the original plans for renovating those buildings are no longer viable and the proximity of the buildings to Forty‑second Street has so far ruled out a practical solution. Design work has halted and at the time of the present report, the Office does not have a viable solution for the two buildings.", "56. The situation is further complicated by the possibility of development plans in neighbouring blocks which might significantly or perhaps totally remove the assessed security risk. It is too early to judge at the moment and the net result of this uncertainty is that the schedule cannot be calculated for the two buildings. If the Library and South Annex are to be refurbished within the timescales of the capital master plan, procurement needs to be completed by January 2013, which means that the design work must be well under way within 2011. However, this state of affairs depends on the Administration fully reviewing the situation regarding the Library and South Annex Buildings, and confirming the approach to be taken on this part of the capital master plan scope.", "57. Financial donations, while welcomed by the project, create a schedule risk. Donations from Member States help to fund specific room designs and are of financial and historic importance to the capital master plan. Five Member States have donated a total of $6 million and another three Member States are considering further donations. Each Member State will nominate an architect or designer to work with the Office of the Capital Master Plan in specifying the area to be donated. The joint design development activity between the project team and the Member State’s nominee could potentially delay completion unless governed by a strong framework with agreed timescales for design decisions.", "58. Delays in approving guaranteed maximum price contracts. The process for approving contracts is time-consuming, involving numerous iterative steps as well as negotiations between the concerned parties, although the Board notes that the Office of the Capital Master Plan uses “task orders” to commence early works, while guaranteed maximum price contracts are still in the review process. The Board found that the average time elapsed from the moment the construction manager submits guaranteed maximum price contracts to approval from the Administration is 113 days. The current schedule for the Conference Building and Permanent Broadcast Facility assumes contract approvals within 42 days in order to meet the forecast building completion dates. Unless the procurement process can accelerate to meet schedule requirements, the completion dates are at risk of further slippage.", "59. The Board recommends that the Administration:", "(a) Resolve the security issues and lack of a viable design solution for the Library and South Annex Buildings as a matter of urgency;", "(b) Confirm whether the two buildings are to remain in scope and, if so, what the approach to resolving the security challenges should be;", "(c) Seek approval for the proposed course of action for the two buildings from the General Assembly.", "60. The Board also recommends that the Administration prioritize the approvals process and timing for the remaining guaranteed maximum price contracts and amendments so as to achieve the 42-day elapsed time period assumed in the schedule.", "7. Budget management", "Latest budget and anticipated final cost", "61. Following the approval of the $1,877 million budget for the capital master plan in 2006, two sources of additional funding have arisen. First, as mentioned above, additional specific commitments for donations totalling $6 million have been received from five countries. Secondly, the host country has made a contribution of $100 million towards the costs of the enhanced security upgrade. The total revised budget for the capital master plan is therefore currently some $1,983 million.", "62. The latest forecast (as at the end of February 2011) of the anticipated final cost of the project is reported by the consultant programme managers of the Office of the Capital Master Plan as $2,061 million, some $79 million (4 per cent) above the revised budget. The Board notes that this cost forecast does not include a provision for the most likely costs of identified risks and a robust and auditable estimate for the cost of all change orders until project completion, nor does it reflect all projected swing space rental costs. The Board is therefore of the view that this situation is more likely to worsen than improve, but that further overexpenditure and delay can be minimized if the Administration is able to take quick and firm action to fully address the concerns raised in the present report. Table 2 below shows how the main costs have changed over time.", "Table 2 Anticipated expenditure of the capital master plan (Thousands of United States dollars)", "Strategy Accelerated IV strategy\n Item of expenditure October September October September January September February 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2010 2011", "Construction 935 300 964 625 1 032 900 1 057 402 1 045 605 1 016 920 1 094 121", "Enhanced security — — — — — — 82 185 upgrade construction", "Professional fees, 231 000 234 508 280 340 302 365 311 772 316 549 302 069 management costs", "Enhanced security — — — — — — 10 713 upgrade fees", "Swing space fit-out and 214 487 389 858 425 695 426 881 450 919 421 113 468 936 rental", "Contingency and forward 495 900 477 819 235 236 181 423 163 587 202 209 96 628 price escalation", "Additional contingency — — — — — — 6 659 for the enhanced security upgrade", "Total project cost 1 876 700 2 066 810 1 974 171 1 968 071 1 971 884 1 956 791 2 061 311", "Budget 1 876 700 1 876 700 1 876 700 1 876 700 1 876 700 1 876 700 1 982 700", "Variance against budget 0 190 110 97 471 91 371 95 184 80 091 78 611", "Source: A/62/364, A/65/5 (Vol. V), A/65/511 and the monthly cost report for March 2011 of the project’s consultant programme manager.", "63.

On any major project, it is very important to have an accurate and current forecast of the future final cost so that the client and those responsible for governance and funding have a realistic expectation of whether or not the project will reach completion within the allocated budget and can take early and appropriate action if costs are seen to be escalating.", "66. The Board found that the approach taken by the Office of the Capital Master Plan to recording actual costs is robust. The actual costs are recorded in detail and are challenged first by the construction manager, then by the consultant programme manager and lastly by the Office team. Audit trails are in place and the Procurement Division is appropriately involved in the main processes.", "67. The Board found that the approach to planning and allowing for the costs of future guaranteed maximum price work is also robust. Costs are estimated by the construction manager and the independent cost consultant and, in general, there have been few surprises in this area. In practice, the estimated costs have been higher than the prices actually incurred in the market, with the “buyout savings” held within the project’s contingency fund.", "68. The Board found, however, that the approach taken to estimating future costs, such as the most likely cost of identified risks or future change orders, is not sufficiently analytical. This gives rise to uncertainty as to whether the remaining contingency allowance is sufficient to see the project through to completion, or whether the current reported overrun will increase further. The main deficiencies in approach are:", "• No specific or quantified allowance is made for the ongoing effect of change orders. The change order trend is evident enough, but the project team is not using it to help predict the future costs of changes. The reported contingency is the difference between the original contingency sums and the costs of changes committed to date. As a result of this balancing sum approach, the opportunity is missed to make a more informed forecast of the future costs of changes, which in turn means the overall cost forecast is not as robust as it should be", "• While the risk register contains many items which, should they materialize, would have an adverse impact on costs, the Office of the Capital Master Plan has not made a probability-based, or indeed any, allowance for their potential cost effects.", "69. Given the continuing pattern of change orders, the scale and nature of the remaining risks, and the continuing pressure on the schedule, the Board is concerned that the remaining $96 million of contingency may be insufficient and that the budget may be exceeded by an amount greater than currently stated. The Board is also aware of other factors that place additional pressure on the budget, for example:", "• The current cost forecast includes swing space rent until 30 September 2012, but full migration of staff back into the Secretariat Building is not due to be completed until December 2012 and the leased swing space is not due to be released until April 2013. The current cost forecast therefore does not include all projected swing space costs. The Office of the Capital Master Plan and the Facilities Management Service are currently deciding which leased spaces will be retained or terminated. The most recent modelling carried out within the Office suggests the unbudgeted rental costs from September to December 2012 will total $22.2 million. In addition, there could be costs of up to $23.7 million for early termination of the leases. It has not yet been decided how such costs would be divided between the Office and the Service", "• The Board has already noted the potential need to initiate night or weekend working in order to observe critical dates. The Office of the Capital Master Plan informed the Board that at least two of the guaranteed maximum price contracts included a provision whereby overtime would be required and allowances were made within the contracts to that effect. This was not the case of all the contracts and acceleration work on the North Lawn Building and within the basements has so far cost more than $5 million and $3 million, respectively. While these costs were funded from the contingency funds under the change order process, there is a risk that ongoing and future acceleration will add to the total project cost", "• Two claims have so far been submitted by trade contractors for additional payment. While the first claim appears unlikely to add to the anticipated final cost, the second claim is likely to be addressed with change orders and has some potential to result in additional project costs. There is also the risk of claims for additional payment made by trade contractors who are being asked to accelerate their work in the Secretariat Building. Negotiations are ongoing with the trade contractors about whether they will agree to accelerate the work without requiring additional fees", "• While the host country has contributed $100 million for the enhanced security upgrade, the latest version of the risk register of the capital master plan seen by the Board identifies an uncertainty regarding the full extent of those costs. A breakdown of costs can be found in annex IV to the present report. The Board notes that the recent procurement exercise for the steelwork in the Conference Building has been in line with expectations. Nevertheless, the costs of the enhanced security upgrade is a high-risk area given the dependency on third-party approvals and the need for lane closures along the Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive.", "70. The Board recommends that the Office of the Capital Master Plan strengthen the approach to cost forecasting by including a robustly calculated and auditable estimate for the costs of all change orders until project completion, allowing for the most likely costs of the items in the risk register and for other known issues, such as prolonged property rentals arising from the schedule slippage.", "Provision for cost escalation", "71. The cost forecasts for the project provided by the Secretary-General have in the past included a provision for future cost inflation (“cost escalation”). The Board observes that the cost escalation allowance is no longer reported at a summary level, although specific allowances remain at subproject levels, ranging from 1 to 3 per cent. On this basis, the anticipated final cost of the project contains approximately $17 million for cost escalation.", "72. The Board also notes that the Turner building cost index[3] for 2009 and 2010 shows that construction cost inflation has in fact been negative in recent years (implying that the overall forecast for the project should be reported as falling). The Board’s conclusion is that the project has been overcautious in its estimates of future construction cost inflation in recent years, a conclusion supported by the fact that the project has been achieving actual contracted prices below the forecast cost estimates (termed “buyout savings” by the project team, with the savings augmenting the contingency fund, as noted in para. 67).", "73. The Board recommends that the Office of the Capital Master Plan:", "(a) Review its approach to allowing for the effects of future construction price inflation in line with published indices;", "(b) Clarify and simplify its reporting in this area when little or no inflation is expected.", "Associated costs", "74. In addition to the costs included within the capital master plan budget, there is a range of other “associated costs” for goods or services which, though made necessary by the work of the plan, are not directly attributable to the plan’s refurbishment operations and were therefore excluded from the original budget. The major associated costs are for:", "• Acquisition of furniture throughout the campus ($44 million)", "• Provision of a new permanent broadcast facility ($40 million)", "• Additional security resources for site security during construction and security training ($28 million)", "• Logistical management, asset tracking, audio-visual migration and temporary additional staffing within the Office of Central Support Services ($20 million)", "• Archiving ($2.7 million)", "• Construction of the primary security command centre and physical security systems ($1.8 million).", "75. The most recent forecast for the associated costs was reported to the General Assembly in March 2011 and amounted to $158.9 million.[4] The Assembly requested in April 2011 that the Secretary-General spend $13 million less on specific associated costs, reducing the anticipated final expenditure to approximately $145.9 million (see resolution 65/269). The Board notes that the sum of $145.9 million is for associated costs until December 2012; delays in the project schedule beyond that date will potentially increase the associated costs and there now is a need to revisit the cost assumptions in line with the latest scheduled completion dates.", "76. One of the major components of the associated costs is the campus-wide procurement of furniture. An estimate given to the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions in February 2011 put the furniture and systems furniture[5] costs at $55 million. The Office of the Capital Master Plan is developing an alternative strategy involving greater reuse of existing furniture and less purchasing of new furniture to reduce the costs by some $11 million. The Office informed the Board it was confident that could be achieved in terms of the physical procurement, but it was assessing the practicalities and risks associated with that option and whether the benefits outweighed the potential costs.", "77. The General Assembly has previously requested the Office of the Capital Master Plan to absorb the associated costs and the majority of costs for a secondary off-site data centre within its budget (see resolutions 63/270 and 65/269). The Office has so far been meeting the associated costs from the project’s cash reserves and its projections show that regardless of other cost pressures, if the project continues to fund the associated costs, it will begin to experience serious cash flow problems in 2012.", "78. The Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions, in its report on the capital master plan (A/65/725), noted concern that there may be difficulty in absorbing the associated costs and recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to make proposals, by no later than the second quarter of 2011, on how best to deal with the associated costs, including through improved cost-efficiency measures.", "79. The Board is concerned about the continued lack of clarity regarding the associated costs and considers that the project is unlikely to be able to absorb the associated costs without either a reduction in the scope of the capital master plan or a potential increase in the anticipated final cost to approximately $2,227 million (see table 3). The Office of the Capital Master Plan informed the Board that the Under-Secretary-General for Management would provide the General Assembly with a strategy to fund the associated costs in the autumn of 2011.", "Table 3 Capital master plan anticipated final costs (Millions of United States dollars)", "Anticipated final costs", "Capital master plan current 2 061.3 forecast", "Associated costs 145.9", "Secondary data centre 19.8", "Total 2 227.0", "Source: The data relating to the secondary data centre is contained in supplementary information provided to the General Assembly by the Office of the Capital Master Plan in March 2011. The budget for the centre, unlike the forecasted associated costs which are reviewed and approved by the Assembly each year, includes $20.97 million of finite funding approved by the Assembly. Further explanation of the associated costs figure is presented in section B.7 of the present report.", "80. The Board recommends, for the sake of project certainty, that the Administration and those responsible for governance clarify the question of budgetary responsibility for the associated costs by making a clear decision about the way in which they will be funded.", "81. The Board also recommends that the Administration, when assessing the associated costs forecasts, take into account the full impact of the most recent scheduled completion dates.", "82. The Administration informed the Board that, following discussions on associated costs with the General Assembly during the first resumed part of the sixty-fifth session, revised forecasts for associated costs would be presented to the Assembly at the main part of its sixty-sixth session, in the context of the Secretary-General’s ninth annual progress report. The Administration also stated that the Assembly had been clear that the associated costs must be absorbed into the budget for the capital master plan (see resolution 65/269). The Board remains of the view that in practice this will lead either to a reduction in project scope or to an increase in the project budget and that there remains a need for greater clarity and certainty on the way in which this matter will be resolved.", "8. Benefits of the capital master plan", "83. When any organization embarks on a major office refurbishment, it is usually the case that significant operational efficiency savings can be achieved, for example in terms of more efficient and productive use of space and methods of work, or in terms of energy efficiencies. In the case of the capital master plan, the main benefit is offices fit for their intended purpose (for example, by removing asbestos and by replacing antiquated heating and ventilation systems). Substantial energy savings have also been identified.", "84. The Board notes that energy efficiency is a major objective of the project and that the Office of the Capital Master Plan regularly monitors achievement of that objective as part of the ongoing design process. The Board sees too that the Administration has grasped many of the wider potential benefits of the capital master plan, for example, by taking the opportunity to group the main senior management teams in the Secretariat Building as a means of achieving more effective teamwork, rather than simply populating the building as before. The Administration also intends to implement a more modern open plan office space approach (rather than the cellular office layout used previously) for many grades of staff, which could improve interactions, teamwork and communication.", "85. The Board is, however, concerned that the Administration is missing the opportunity for more efficient use of the space and real savings by adopting a policy of allocating one desk to one person. In practice, 100 per cent of an organization’s staff are never seated at their desks at the same time. Desks and rooms lie unoccupied because staff are away on business, in meetings or conferences, on sick leave or holiday, and it is not untypical for desk occupancy levels to be in the range of 30 to 50 per cent in public sector organizations. This means that an organization does not need to pay for enough desks and space to house all of its staff simultaneously and can achieve significant savings by reducing the amount of office space for which it pays.", "86. In many business and public sector organizations it is now common practice to use “hot desking”, which is a method of using desk space flexibility so that staff can access their computers and work at any desk that is free, rather than allocating a specific desk for each staff member. This can typically enable organizations to reduce their desk numbers by 30 per cent and thereby achieve significant savings in office rental, furniture and energy costs. If managed well and with good use of available information and communications technology, there is no negative impact on operational effectiveness, with in practice benefits realized through the ability to easily move staff and restructure teams flexibly.", "87. Given the potential cost overruns reported earlier, the Board considers that this is a cost reduction opportunity that the Administration should examine before the seating allocations in the off-campus buildings are finalized. The adoption of a flexible desk use policy would allow more departmental staff to be based within the Secretariat Building and allow the United Nations to dispose of a greater amount of the property that it currently rents. It would not be unrealistic to expect an ongoing reduction of at least 10 to 20 per cent of the current rental costs by adopting such a policy.", "88. The Board also notes that the capital master plan provides a significant opportunity to streamline office records management through greater digitization or off-site archiving of records and information. Despite the fact that the Office of the Capital Master Plan issued records management guidelines in 2008 which presented guidance on digitization, the floor plans of the Secretariat Building contain large numbers of filing cabinets. Projections from the consultant programme managers show that filing cabinets for the compound will cost from $3.2 million to $6.4 million and will take up significant floor space.", "89. The Board concludes that the Administration is not addressing the full range of potential benefits that could be delivered by the project.", "90. The Board recommends that the Administration:", "(a) Establish a small senior management group, supported by an independent space planning expert authority, to review all of the potential benefits arising from the project;", "(b) Ensure that the group works towards the benefits in a systematic and coherent way.", "91. The Board also recommends that the Administration consider ways in which to use space more efficiently through, for example, “hot desking” and reduced physical filing space as a policy, and ensure a rapid conclusion aligned with the scheduled moves of staff and office furniture within the United Nations campus and other properties.", "9. Succession planning and team stability", "92. The capital master plan is very reliant on a small number of senior individuals, an issue recognized in the project’s risk register, which mentions the potential for loss of knowledge and the impact on decision-making and progress should senior members of the team depart at short notice. This risk will be more acute as the project’s completion date approaches, when individuals, especially those on fixed-term contracts, understandably focus on their own work continuity. This has the potential to result in an unplanned reduction in project staff.", "93. Within the Office of the Capital Master Plan, 13 of the 26 staff are on permanent contracts, 11 have fixed-term contracts and 2 have short-term, generally temporary assistance, contracts. Those with permanent contracts will be looking for suitable internal posts and given the long recruitment times within the United Nations, their chosen departure dates may not always align with the remaining requirements of the capital master plan.", "94. The Board found that the Administration has no plan in place to enable it to react quickly to fill other vacancies in the project’s leadership team if they should arise. The Board was informed by the Administration that current United Nations human resources management rules and regulations did not allow for such planning and rapid response. The Board is of the view, however, that the inability to quickly replace critical staff is a real risk and requires an effective mitigation strategy.", "95. The Board recommends that the Administration establish a risk mitigation strategy to fill unexpected vacancies in critical positions within the Office of the Capital Master Plan management team at short notice.", "96. The Board also recommends that the Administration consider whether a similar arrangement should apply to other teams involved in major business transformation programmes elsewhere in the United Nations.", "10. Procurement", "International procurement", "97. The Administration informed the Board that it had been keen from the outset to encourage the widest levels of participation by vendors on an international basis in the capital master plan. The Board notes that the Office of the Capital Master Plan continues to explore ways to increase participation from vendors from developing countries and countries with economies in transition. This includes placing advertisements, holding road show events and using notes verbales to ask missions to encourage bids from vendors.", "98. As at 26 April 2011, just over $12 million of goods and labour within the capital master plan had been procured from vendors from developing countries and countries with economies in transition, representing 2 per cent of the total goods and labour procured within the project. The Board recognizes that the Office of the Capital Master Plan follows the United Nation procurement rules that do not permit favouring bidders from any particular country. Awards are made on the basis of the lowest price or best value for money and the Administration informed the Board that vendors from the host nation had gained the majority of contract awards owing to the relative advantage of sourcing labour and materials locally rather than from overseas.", "Post-Award Review Committee", "99. The Board has previously commented on the need for ongoing scrutiny of awarded and amended contracts to ensure alignment with the United Nations procurement rules and regulations, to provide learning opportunities for future procurements and to maintain independent control over the regularity of contractual changes in a situation where the Executive Director of the capital master plan has a significant level of delegated authority. The Board, in its progress report for the year ended 31 December 2008 (A/64/5 (Vol. V)), recommended that the Administration “take appropriate measures to regularize the transactions that occurred under the authority granted to the Director of the Procurement Division in accordance with the memorandum of the United Nations Controller and approved on 15 November 2007”.", "100. The Board also recommended that “as long as no ex post facto review procedure is secured, [the Administration] make every effort to involve the Headquarters Committee on Contracts in the adjudication process prior to signing or amending contracts that are within the scope of the authority of that Committee”. More generally, the Board recommended that the Administration “consider ways and means to increase significantly the level of internal control over amendments to contracts relating to the capital master plan”.", "101. The Administration’s response was to set up the Post-Award Review Committee, which reports to the Department of Management, so as to provide review and comment on procurements within the United Nations. The Committee has interpreted its remit as retrospectively reviewing all contract amendments of values from $0.5 million to $5 million in order to decide whether procurement actions were appropriate. The Committee was established in October 2009 but did not become operational until April 2010 owing to a delay in agreeing on its operating procedures and membership.", "102. The Board is aware that the Committee is revisiting its operating procedures because there is a considerable backlog in its work. At the time of the Board’s audit, the Committee had considered only 13 of the 154 relevant contract amendments.[6] The backlog is currently growing and the Board is concerned that the Administration is not deriving either enhanced control or timely value from this review process. The Board is also concerned that the backlog is likely to become unmanageable if the present trend continues and notes the concern of the Office of the Capital Master Plan that the impact of handling the backlog could also impact the ability of the Procurement Division to process new contracts and amendments in a timely manner, which in turn could impact the capital master plan schedule.", "103. The Board recommends that the Administration urgently review the effectiveness of the Post-Award Review Committee, with a view to streamlining its operation, and balance appropriately the need for assurance and control with the need to protect the project schedule and work of the Procurement Division.", "C.

The Office of theCapital Master Plan is liaising with theauthorities to develop the necessary workingschedules. The Board, however, highlights thisissue as a risk to the schedule because securingthe permits is on the critical path for the entireproject. According to the Office, one day’s delayin this work translates into one day’s delay incompleting the project.\n\tFor the work to progress according to schedule, itis essential that the permits allow work to becarried out at least four nights per week. Evenwhen the permits are agreed, there is considerableuncertainty about the timescales for the plannedwork in this area. Some of the work can onlyprogress at night and the nature of much of thiswork makes it difficult to estimate activitydurations accurately.\nConferenceBuilding\tThe initial assessment of the impact on theschedule of the enhanced security upgrade meantdelaying the completion date for the ConferenceBuilding to 2013. As this date was unacceptable,the construction manager was asked to revise theschedule to reduce the time allowed for individualtasks and programmed overlapping activities toproduce an expected completion date of 21 December2012. This is described as an “aggressive schedule”by the construction manager in his monthly reportdated March 2011 and the company has set out anumber of critical actions that the Administrationmust complete if this date is to be observed.\n\tThe overall schedule for the capital master plan,however, does not yet include all aspects of theenhanced security upgrade work. The constructionmanager is updating the schedule, but planning atthe time of the present report relies on“construction document” drawings that are 60 percent complete. The completed drawings for theConference Building will not be produced until atleast 27 May 2011.\n\tThe schedule for the Conference Building allowsonly six weeks from the date the constructionmanager submits the first amendment to theguaranteed maximum price contract until theAdministration approves and signs the amendment.This process has typically been taking 113 days, orapproximately 16 weeks (see section B.6). While itmay be expected to take less time to approve anamendment to a guaranteed maximum price contractthan to approve a new guaranteed maximum pricecontract, the Board believes that the provision ofsuch a short timescale within the schedule remainsa risk.\n\tSimilarly, the schedule for the permanent broadcastfacility within the Conference Building allows onlysix weeks for approval and sign off on theguaranteed maximum price contract. Without thepermanent broadcast facility, the ConferenceBuilding will not be able to provide its corefunctions. Again, the Board believes the provisionof this short, six-week period remains a risk to anactivity on the project’s critical path.\nGeneralAssemblyBuilding\tThe General Assembly Building is scheduled to becompleted in mid-2014, in time for the generaldebate in late 2014. The design is at the 100 percent “construction document” phase, although aneven more detailed set of construction documentswill be developed during 2011, at which point theschedule for this building will become morecertain.\nDagHammarskjöldLibrary andSouth AnnexBuildings\tRenovation of the Library and South Annex Buildingsis within the scope of the project. However, theOffice of the Capital Master Plan has been unableto come up with a satisfactory design solution forthese buildings in response to recent securityassessments. Design work is on hold and it isunclear how progress will now be made on thisissue. While the high-level summary projectschedule shows indicative dates for completing thiswork, the procurement and construction activitiesfor these buildings are not shown within thedetailed overall schedule of the capital masterplan.\nAdditionalsecuritymeasures onFirst Avenue\tAs part of the enhanced security upgrade,additional security measures are to be installed onFirst Avenue. This is additional scope to thecapital master plan project. Installation ofbollards, planters and anti-ram, devices and theconstruction of security screening buildings isplanned to take place on land owned by authoritiesof New York City. This work will therefore requirecareful liaison with the authorities, as well aswith utility companies.\nNorth LawnBuildingdemolition\tWhile the General Assembly reaffirmed in itsresolution 65/269 that the North Lawn Buildingshould be demolished, this demolition work is notincluded in the project’s monthly schedule and thetimescales for this work are not included in theSecretary-General’s annual progress report. TheBoard understands, however, that this work wouldlikely take place in late 2014, after thecompletion of the General Assembly Building.\nBasementinfrastructure\tThe work on the basements of the United Nationscampus has proven difficult and has resulted in asignificant amount of change. The ongoing rate ofchanges creates significant uncertainty in theschedule. There is a specific uncertainty about theschedule for the loading dock. The designintentions are not yet set out and potentialchanges to traffic flows on Forty-eighth Streetwould require approval from the authorities of NewYork City.\nSecretariatBuilding\tThe schedule for the Secretariat Building wasoriginally based on a top-down construction andfit-out. The Office of the Capital Master Plan hasnow changed its plans and has asked theconstruction manager to first complete floors 17 to27, and to work to a shorter timescale forcompleting the first 10 floors. The guaranteedmaximum price contract includes a date of 3September 2012 for completing the entire building,but the Office and the construction manager hadinformally agreed to complete the first 10 floorsby 1 July 2012. The Office now wants this datebrought forward to 1 June 2012. This is achallenging schedule, with minimal room for erroror delay.

The project faces governance and stakeholder management challenges, and important United Nations operational activities continue to be uninterrupted, many of which must remain in the compound during construction. In its resolution 57/292, the General Assembly stressed the need to oversee the development and implementation of the capital master plan and requested the Board of Auditors to prepare an annual report on the project. The present report contains the findings and recommendations of the annual review of the progress of the capital master plan requested by the General Assembly. The Board ' s overall conclusion is that the capital master plan has made significant progress in a number of areas. Over 600,000 staff were relocated from their original office locations to temporary office locations, and important construction work was largely on schedule. The Board also saw some good practices in the capital master plan, such as a unified team collaboration between the Office of the Capital Master Plan and professional consultants and major contractors. Notwithstanding the above-mentioned progress, the capital master plan faces significant challenges. Projections as at 31 March 2011 indicated that expenditure on the project would exceed the budget by $79 million (4 per cent) and that key components of the project were currently lagging behind. The Board noted that the cost projection did not include a provision for the most likely costs to be incurred for the identified risks, that it did not provide a robust and auditable estimate of the cost of all change orders prior to the completion of the project, and that it did not reflect all projected rental costs for swing space. The Board is therefore of the view that this situation is likely to worsen rather than improve, but that further overexpenditures and delays can be minimized if the Administration is able to take prompt and determined action to fully address the concerns raised in the present report. • It is becoming increasingly clear that the project's associated costs, i.e. those relating to the project but not within the core project or budget, cannot be absorbed within the project budget, as requested by the General Assembly before, unless the project is significantly reduced • the methodology for estimating future costs, such as those most likely to be incurred by identified risks or future change order costs, is inadequate. This creates uncertainty as to whether the remaining contingency provision will be sufficient to support the completion of the project and whether the currently reported overexpenditure will increase further • Under the current plan, it is expected that the first group of staff will start moving back to the Secretariat Building (accelerated strategy) three months after the expected completion date issued in September 2007, although there have been delays in the project. Previous projections tend to be more optimistic and, for the reasons explained below, the progress of the Conference and General Assembly Buildings lags significantly behind previous estimates • There is still no viable design to address the security requirements associated with the Dag Hammarskjöld Library and the South Annex Buildings, so that the above-mentioned project components are currently at a standstill as the project moves towards completion and some risks cease to exist and the likelihood of additional unforeseen costs decrease. However, the ability of the capital master plan to absorb additional time or cost pressures is now limited, and the Board concludes that, at the time of submission of the present report, there were still a number of other risks that could lead to further cost increases and delays. The Administration is pursuing the broader opportunities for enhanced communication and teamwork offered by the capital master plan through the co-location of senior managers in the Secretariat Building and the use of open rather than cellular office space. The Board is concerned, however, that the Administration has not developed a structured process to define or maximize the expected benefits to be derived from the project and has not fully exploited the potential for improved office solutions, for example, a flexible desk-use policy that can provide an important opportunity for cost savings by increasing the number of staff accommodated in the Secretariat Building, thereby reducing the current rental cost liabilities and possible cost overruns. While these benefits are still achievable, the Administration needs a rigorous and highly supportive change management approach to cope with the inevitable cultural changes that staff face in their working methods. Overall, the Board concluded that, while progress had been made on the capital master plan, the project was entering a critical phase, with a significant reduction in the flexibility to manage contingencies and cost and time pressures. It is now clear that the project will be delayed. The first group of staff will commence their relocation to the Secretariat Building (accelerated strategy) three months after the expected completion date issued by the Office of the Capital Master Plan in September 2007. It is currently anticipated that the General Assembly and Conference Buildings will be delayed by one year and that the planned scope of the Library and South Annex Buildings will be reduced. The current forecast is that costs will exceed the budget by $79 million (4 per cent) and there are significant risks that, if not firmly reduced, could further exacerbate delays and lead to cost increases, exceeding the current projected overexpenditure. The Administration must act decisively if it is to fully realize the benefits and opportunities of decades of renovation. The main findings and recommendations have been deferred from mid-2013 to mid-2014, with projected costs approximately 4 per cent higher than the current revised budget approved by the General Assembly, which takes into account donor commitments and security enhancements. According to the report of the Office of the Capital Master Plan, the final cost of the project as a whole was projected at $2,061 million, over and above the budget of $79 million, and the General Assembly Building would be completed by mid-2014, one year later than the date set out in the revised accelerated schedule, owing mainly to security-related engineering changes. The cost, schedule and works of the project have been and continue to be affected by significant pressures, including approximately $100 million in protective work under new security requirements, to be funded by the host country. Overall cost projections do not explicitly provide room for change order costs or provide for the most likely costs in the risk register. Accurate and transparent cost projections for such projects are essential if management and governance personnel are to act quickly and effectively to maintain full budgetary control. At the time of submission of the present report, the cost projections lacked a robust and auditable estimate of all change order costs prior to the completion of the project and did not provide for the most likely costs to be incurred as a result of identified risks. The full cost of rental of temporary swing space also needs to be assessed and reflected in the cost projections. The Board is therefore not in a position to ensure that the projections for the cost of completing the project are accurate. The lack of viable design solutions in the Dag Hammarskjöld Library and South Annex Buildings has led to the suspension of these project components. Following an assessment of the resilience of the above-mentioned building to the impact of the explosion, the Office of the Capital Master Plan has put on hold the design of the building until further discussions are held with the New York City authorities and neighbouring owners, whose plans may have an impact on the solution. The Office of the Capital Master Plan informed the Board that the latest cost projections indicated that the cost of renovating the Library and South Annex Buildings, as originally envisaged, would be $65 million. The agreed budget for the capital master plan does not provide for the cost of these buildings separately. The Office of the Capital Master Plan was not in a position to absorb some $146 million in associated costs in its budget. Associated costs are required for the project, but are not covered by the direct responsibility of the project and are not included in the initial budget of the capital master plan. Although the General Assembly had requested the capital master plan to absorb those costs, the Board had concluded that that requirement was no longer a realistic requirement if the capital master plan were not reduced in size or if the cost overruns already reported by the project were not reduced. The capital master plan lacks effective control over the number of project changes, and the plan continues to face significant changes due to end-users and incomplete design. Changes are common to all construction projects, but they may result in a risk of delays and cost increases. Therefore, effective change control is a recognized success factor and should normally be fully consulted with end-users or users at an early stage of the design, while the process of change after the design is finalized is characterized by clear rules, strong governance and strong management to minimize change. At the time of the initial competitive bidding for the contract, the design of certain phases of the capital master plan had not been completed and, in order to ensure the project's progress, the contract had been deliberately awarded on the basis of incomplete design. In such cases, there is a greater need to establish effective procedures to minimize and control changes, anticipate the costs that may arise from future changes and efficiently process change orders. While the Office of the Capital Master Plan had robust procedures in place to process change orders as soon as changes occurred, the Administration had not put in place an effective system to minimize the number of changes from the outset, and the high rate of change and the increasing time required to resolve changes, if not addressed now, would result in further cost increases and delays. The handover process from the Office of the Capital Master Plan to the Facilities Management Service is a key risk area. The Facilities Management Service, which has learned lessons from the less successful handover of the North Lawn Building, is in the process of recruiting more staff to participate in the capital master plan process, providing more training for operational staff and engaging a consultant to support the handover process. Despite these positive actions, the Board considers that the preparation of the Facilities Management Service is a high-risk area, as any delay in the handover phase of the project will inevitably entail additional costs. In view of the above, the Board has made detailed recommendations in the body of the present report. The Administration accepted almost all of the Board ' s recommendations, with one exception, the recommendation to enhance certainty in the funding of associated costs. The Administration considers that the General Assembly, in its resolution 65/269, has clearly provided for the absorption of associated costs from the capital master plan budget. The Administration and the Board ' s comments on this issue are contained in paragraphs 80 to 82. • The Office of the Capital Master Plan should strengthen its approach to projecting future costs by making robust and auditable estimates of all change order costs prior to the completion of the project and by making provision for the costs that are most likely to be incurred before the completion of the project; The Board reiterates its recommendations that were not superseded or overtaken by events in its previous report but have not yet been fully implemented.", "A. Mandate, scope and methodology", "1. The capital master plan is a plan for the renovation of the United Nations Headquarters complex in New York. The master plan was prepared pursuant to General Assembly resolution 55/238 and was initially funded from the regular budget of the United Nations. Subsequently, the General Assembly, in section II, paragraph 24, of its resolution 57/292, established a special account for the capital master plan. Subsequently, appropriations were made to the Special Account in the form of assessments on Member States. The financial position of the capital master plan is reported as part of statement IX (United Nations capital assets and construction in progress) of the financial statements of the United Nations (see A/66/5 (Vol. I)). Any unspent balances of appropriations are carried forward to the next biennium until the project is completed.", "2. In its resolution 57/292, the General Assembly stressed the importance of oversight of the development and implementation of the capital master plan and requested the Board of Auditors to report annually to the Assembly on the project.", "3. In preparing the present report, the Board reviewed the progress of the capital master plan since the preparation of its previous report (A/65/5 (Vol. V)) and the manner in which the risks associated with the project were identified and managed. The primary objectives of the Board ' s review were:", "• Assessment of progress in the implementation of the Board's previous recommendations", "• Assessment of the progress of the capital master plan since the Board's previous annual report", "• Assess the possibility of the capital master plan delivery within the budget and expected time frame", "• New proposals to further strengthen the management of the capital master plan.", "4. The Board worked closely with the Office of Internal Oversight Services to obtain information on the results of recent internal audits, coordinate their respective audits and minimize the demands placed on the Office of the Capital Master Plan.", "5. The present report covers matters that, in the opinion of the Board, should be brought to the attention of the General Assembly. The Board ' s observations and conclusions were discussed with the Administration, whose views have been appropriately reflected in the report.", "B. Findings and recommendations", "1. Implementation of previous recommendations of the Board of Auditors", "6. Of the 20 recommendations made by the Board in its report for the year ended 31 December 2009 (A/65/5 (Vol. V)), 9 (45 per cent) were fully implemented, 5 (25 per cent) were under implementation and 5 (25 per cent) were not implemented. The five recommendations not implemented relate to the following issues:", "• Prior to the capital master plan, 13 areas within the complex had been sponsored by Member States, and it was not clear whether those countries would remain sponsors of those areas after the renovation. The Board had previously recommended that the policy on the treatment and restoration of these sponsorships be refined during and after the capital master plan project to clarify this issue. The Committee reiterates its previous recommendation", "• The Board noted that the recommendation to establish a post-contract award review process had been implemented but that the process was not functioning as intended. The Board reverts to this point in section B.10 of the present report", "• The remaining three recommendations, relating to cost projections and the establishment of a contingency, have been replaced by new recommendations in the present report.", "7. The Board reiterated its previous recommendations that had not been fully implemented or replaced (see A/65/5 (Vol. V), paras. 31, 62, 67, 112, 118, 129 and 147). The Board is also of the view that one (5 per cent) of the recommendations in the above-mentioned report has been overtaken by events. The proposal related to delays in the negotiation of the Conference Building contract. The design of the Conference Building was changed to incorporate new security requirements and the recommendation was therefore overtaken by events.", "Background and financial situation", "8. The need for a full renovation of United Nations Headquarters in New York was confirmed in the late 1990s. In June 2000, the Secretary-General, in his report on the capital master plan (A/55/117), clearly set out the need for renovation and suggested a range of possible approaches. The preferred option would be a six-year renovation plan at a cost of approximately $964 million, during which up to 30 per cent of the Headquarters compound would be under construction at any time.", "Starting in 2000, a number of new design and construction cost estimates were submitted and in February 2003, the Secretary-General established the Office of the Capital Master Plan, which delivers the project. The General Assembly formally oversees the project and the Secretary-General is responsible for achieving its objectives and entrusts this responsibility to the Under-Secretary-General for Management, who also provides a range of services in support of United Nations Headquarters in New York. The Executive Director of the capital master plan reports to the Under-Secretary-General for Management.", "10. In November 2005, in his third annual progress report on the implementation of the capital master plan (A/60/550), the Secretary-General proposed a budget of $1,588 million for the delivery of the capital master plan. In his fourth annual progress report of October 2006 (A/61/549), the Secretary-General explained that the budget had increased to $1,646 million owing to changes in market conditions and increased construction and professional costs. The report of the Secretary-General also identified the need for additional scope, including additional blast protection measures and information technology backup systems and security measures. Together with the additional work, the total projected cost of the project is $1,877 million. On 22 December 2006, the General Assembly, in its resolution 61/251, decided to approve the revised budget for the project and the proposed phased approach to construction (strategy IV).", "11. In September 2007, the Secretary-General noted in his fifth annual progress report (A/62/364) that the delay in the implementation of strategy IV was due to the complexity of United Nations decision-making and the resignation of the Executive Director of the capital master plan. The Secretary-General estimates that the final cost of the project will be $2,096 million, some $220 million over budget, owing mainly to delays in progress and the associated impact of price inflation on construction and rental costs.", "12. The Secretary-General subsequently proposed an accelerated strategy IV to reduce the renovation period, the construction phase and disruption to the work of the United Nations. The revised final cost estimate amounts to $2,067 million, some $190 million over budget. In its resolution 62/87, the General Assembly took note of the Secretary-General ' s proposal for accelerated strategy IV.", "13. Accelerated strategy IV is currently being implemented. In his eighth annual progress report in October 2010 (A/65/511), the Secretary-General stated that 75 per cent of the capital master plan commitments had been completed and targeted, with a projected cost of $1,957 million, some $80 million over budget.", "14. As at 31 December 2010, cumulative expenditure for the capital master plan amounted to $1,335 million (see table 1). Expenditure during 2010 ($406 million) was lower than in 2009 ($584 million) owing to delays in construction activities owing to the need for the Office of the Capital Master Plan to address enhanced security upgrades, as detailed in section B.3 below.", "Table 1 Capital master plan expenditure", "Expenditure (thousands of United States dollars) Share of total (percentage)", "Salaries and other staff expenditures", "Travel 74 25 30 35 9 173 0.1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0", "Contractual services 58 425 30 279 105 21 145 23,920 238 84.6 65.3 45.8 5.9 17.9 069 838", "Operational costs", "Acquisition 284 2 942 100 522 292 917 0.4 6.3 43.9 89.4 72.0 68.320 149 729", "Subtotal 69 062 46 394 229 583 405 1 334 100 100 100 100 611 841 993 901", "Cancellation of prior-period obligations", "Total 67 531 46 384 228 581 398 1 322 – – 173 786 931 805", "Source: Provisional financial statements of the United Nations for the 12-month period ended 31 December 2010 of the biennium 2010-2011, calculated by the Board of Auditors.", "(a) The period up to 2007 includes the years 2001 to 2006.", "15. Section B.7 of the present report describes how the capital master plan budget has been revised to include additional construction and funding sources. The latest forecast by the programme management consultant for the Office of the Capital Master Plan at the end of February 2011 is that the projected cost now stands at $2,061 million, some $79 million above the revised budget. The Board noted that the forecast did not include a provision for costs that were likely to be incurred as a result of identified risks and a robust and auditable estimate of all change order costs pending completion of the project, nor did it include all projected swing space rental costs.", "Key areas of progress", "16. The capital master plan was a large and challenging renovation project. Such projects are particularly risky in relation to new buildings, as it is often difficult to accurately survey the state of existing structures. Unforeseen problems subsequently identified in the context of the existing situation may result in additional work and costs, as well as delays in time. In the case of older buildings, such as the United Nations compound, the lack of original “completed” building records could pose particular difficulties. Moreover, governance, communication and stakeholder management are more complex. These complex issues require strict project control and procedures. The Board observed good practices within the capital master plan, such as integrated cooperation between the Office of the Capital Master Plan and its professional consultants and major contractors.", "17. In the above-mentioned report for the year ended 31 December 2009, the Board of Auditors reported that the capital master plan was approximately six months behind the original schedule for accelerated strategy IV and that the Office of the Capital Master Plan projected a final cost of $1,972 million, $95.2 million above the budget of $1,877 million. The Board noted, however, that the entire project was affected in 2010 by a design change that was required to enhance structural protection against the impact of the blast. In the years leading up to 2010, the increasing frequency and severity of terrorist threats, some of which were United Nations-specific, meant that security standards were under constant review and the understanding of the implications of capital master plan design standards was evolving and changing.", "18. In general, the United Nations bears the cost of maintaining a safe and secure environment within the limits of its premises and the relevant host country (or any relevant political subdivision) is responsible for security beyond the limits of the United Nations premises. A special complexity has arisen in New York, as the United Nations building hangs over Franklin Roosevelt Drive. The physical boundary is not vertical, so the distinction between security responsibilities between the United Nations and the host country is less clear than usual. There was a need for a clear understanding of the respective responsibilities of the host country and the United Nations and of the need for joint action; within the United Nations, although there was a growing understanding that changes might be needed in the Conference Building, the nature and extent of the changes remained unclear.", "In late 2010, the host country authorities and the United Nations reached an agreement on design needs, specific solutions and respective responsibilities to clarify the situation, followed by an agreement with the host country in January 2011 on a contribution to the estimated additional cost of the so-called enhanced security upgrade of $100 million. [1] The General Assembly, in its resolution 65/269 of April 2011, approved the implementation of security enhancements. The search for the above-mentioned security solution was the main factor behind the nine-month delay in the completion of the renovation of the Conference Building, which in turn resulted in a nine-month delay in the completion of the General Assembly Building. The Board has commented on the impact of enhanced security upgrades on project progress, construction and costs in the relevant sections of the present report.", "At the time of submission of the present report, the capital master plan was in the process of delivering under 22 guaranteed maximum price contracts, including seven guaranteed maximum price proposals bound into one guaranteed maximum price contract. Changes to contracts are priced and evaluated separately, as contracts are quite large and a change order is less confusing. However, multiple contractual arrangements do present the following risks:", "• If the planned works within a guaranteed maximum price contract must be changed, the cost of the change may be reflected in lower value for money, especially if the change causes confusion and reduces the efficiency of the vendor", "• It is more difficult to ensure coordination between design and construction contracts, efficient and smooth scheduling of work processes and to avoid gaps in work or inconsistencies between sets of contracts.", "21. The Board recognizes that the United Nations continues to take risks in the above-mentioned areas, but notes that the capital master plan team is taking reasonable steps to minimize financial and progress risks. A single guaranteed maximum price contract covering the full scope of the project was not feasible, as the original design had not been completed and, in fact, had not yet been completed. If a single guaranteed maximum price contract were to be adopted, the contractor might be able to propose higher prices to reflect more risks, so that value for money would not be realized. The project team fully understood the risks of multiple guaranteed maximum price contracts and the importance of minimizing change orders and carefully coordinating the interface between guaranteed maximum price contracts to control costs and secure progress.", "22. While the project is currently expected to be significantly delayed and the completion of the General Assembly and Conference Buildings is expected to be delayed by one year, the Board acknowledges the progress made, given the complex issues and challenges facing the project team. Achievements included the completion of the North Lawn Building and the transfer of some 6,000 staff to temporary swing space, while maintaining the day-to-day work of the United Nations and continuing General Assembly affairs.", "23. The progress made since the Board ' s previous report has mainly been the completion of the new technical centre in the second basement of the North Lawn Building and other major infrastructure works. Elevators have also been installed in the Secretariat and Conference Buildings to begin asbestos removal and other demolition work. At the time of the audit, asbestos removal and other removal work had been completed on 21 of the 39 floors of the Secretariat building; 18 floors of the building had been installed by the end of April 2011.", "Control changes", "24. Any construction project is subject to change after the commencement of work. Significant changes are a risk, as they may increase costs and delay project delivery. In fact, effective change control is a recognized feature of successful construction projects, where extensive consultations are often undertaken before the design is finalized, with clear rules and effective governance and management in place once finalized to minimize change. Both the Board of Auditors and the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) had expressed concern in previous reports about the number of changes to the capital master plan. In view of this, the Board again analysed the changes in the project.", "25. The Board found that the capital master plan continued to undergo considerable changes, which originated in various ways. The design of the capital master plan was not completed on time and, in order to ensure that the project was completed on schedule, the guaranteed maximum price contracts were deliberately awarded under an incomplete design programme. This strategy may result in a large number of change orders being required as the design evolves further, and it is therefore important to establish effective procedures to minimize unnecessary changes, anticipate the potential costs of future changes and efficiently process change orders. Other changes originate from future users in Headquarters departments.", "26. The Office of the Capital Master Plan has a robust process for processing change orders as they arise. However, the Administration did not have an effective system in place from the outset to minimize changes and, as a result, the project was characterized by significant, continuous and costly changes. The total volume and value of capital master plan change orders continued to increase, with a total of 1,116 change orders valued at approximately $103 million submitted by the construction manager as at 5 April 2011. Figures I and II show the continuing trend in the number and value of change orders since the start of the project. The figures also show that the rate of change has remained largely unchanged and, although the rate will inevitably decrease when the project is nearing completion, there are no signs of a decrease.", "Figure I Cumulative number of change orders", "Source: Analysis of change order data for the Office of the Capital Master Plan.", "Figure II Cumulative value of change orders", "Source: Analysis of change order data for the Office of the Capital Master Plan.", "27. The Board is of the view that the trend shown in figures I and II is likely to continue if the Administration does not take action to address the reasons for the change. The time frame of the project was already tight, and such a rate of change would eventually lead to further delays. Moreover, the remaining contingency has now decreased, and this change trend has placed serious strain on the ability of the capital master plan project to complete within the budgetary allocations. The Board has commented on these issues later in the present report.", "28. The capital master plan requires approval of the contractor ' s cost estimates before work commences. While the approval schedule is considered to delay work on a critical path, there is an accelerated procedure called “change order value to be determined”. In order to protect the critical path, this process involves the commencement of work before the contractor provides a fixed price. The process was established in March 2010, after OIOS had recommended that the Office of the Capital Master Plan should discontinue the use of the engineering authorization form for work to be classified as a change in the guaranteed maximum price contract and ensure that change orders were approved before the related work commenced.", "29. The Office of the Capital Master Plan informed the Board that, in line with the Board ' s interim recommendations, improvements had been made to the change order process, such as weekly meetings between the construction manager and the Office to prioritize change orders. However, the Board is of the view that the change order approval process remains time-consuming and labour-intensive. Change orders may be submitted at the request of the Office of the Capital Master Plan or the construction manager. The construction manager receives the estimated cost of the required work from the industry contractor and, if the manager is satisfied with the estimate, sends it to the office for approval. Change orders are then approved by the designer, the programme management consultant, the project manager and the construction director of the office. Change orders may be approved in accordance with established procurement procedures or by the Executive Director of the capital master plan under delegated authority.", "30. The delegation of authority for change orders was approved by the Executive Director, subject to an ex post facto review by the post-award Contracts Review Committee, as recommended by OIOS (see A/63/266). The delegation of authority was limited, and all change orders approved by the Executive Director for a contract could not exceed 10 per cent of the contract value and individual change orders could not exceed $5 million. The delegation of authority did not include the authority to make significant changes in the scope of the project and the Board noted that the General Assembly, in its resolution 65/269, had approved the enhanced security upgrade.", "31. The Board understands that many important public sector projects have adopted a hierarchical delegation of authority within the project team to speed up the processing of change orders, that is, to enable lower-level staff to assess lower-value change orders and higher-value change orders to be assessed by senior management. There was no such hierarchical delegation of authority within the capital master plan project team, which was different from the usual. At the time of the Board ' s review of the issue in November 2010, the processing of change orders and contingency provisions took an average of 114 working days. [2] The Board found that, as at 5 April 2011, the work took an average of four days, or 118 days, more than in November 2010. The Office of the Capital Master Plan informed the Board that most of the processing time had been used to evaluate the validity of change order requests from architectural and engineering firms and the cost review by programme management companies.", "32. The Board is of the view that the change order process remains too time-consuming. The resulting delays caused problems for industry contractors, as the process delayed their payments and adversely affected their cash flow. The construction manager sees this as a risk that could weaken the goodwill of the industry contractor and increase the likelihood of claims for delay and disruption.", "33. The Board recommends that the Office of the Capital Master Plan significantly reduce the processing time and backlog in the change order approval process, so that the contractor is paid within the time frame specified in its contract or, if not specified in the contract, within 30 days of the completion of the change order. The latter arrangement meets the time limit for payment under the guaranteed maximum price contract.", "Manage change requests from users", "34. The Board noted that many changes had been made in the course of moving staff to temporary swing space. This is useful for understanding the behaviour of users and the effectiveness of the required changes in project management. While users require many changes to their space, under the current arrangements they are not held accountable for the costs of the changes they request. As the risk register for the project recognizes, it is likely that users will continue to submit a large number of change requests, especially in the ongoing process of agreeing on a final plan for the Secretariat Building.", "35. The Board recognizes that many departments may not be familiar with the plans or the layout of the buildings and that, as a result, changes that may be required are not sometimes presented until the completion of each location is near. In any event, the Board is of the view that the possibility of completing the project on the basis of current time and budget would be affected if substantial changes were to be proposed in the future, as has been the case so far.", "36. There are many good international practices that can minimize the change requests from end-users of the building. That is, at the early stage of project design, ensuring that users are fully consulted, and at the change stage after design is finalized, clear rules, strong governance and sound management are established. The capital master plan had not followed good practices in that regard, which directly led to cost increases and time pressures.", "37. The Board found that the Administration had not established a robust mechanism to control user-related changes at the outset of the project, nor had it established a clear accountability system to control the number, nature and cost of changes proposed by users in departments and offices, and to ensure that they were fully aware of the costs involved. Instead, the Office of the Capital Master Plan relies on the goodwill and cooperation of its departmental users in an attempt to achieve this by providing information on the actual layout of its space. However, the Board is of the view that cooperation alone is not sufficient at this stage of the project. Any major change to the Secretariat Building's plan, in particular, would now increase the risk of delay and might prevent the building from being completed within the time frame specified in the schedule.", "38. The Board recommends that the Administration, in conjunction with the Office of the Capital Master Plan:", "(a) To review immediately the change request trends and identify the reasons for the change request and its proponents;", "(b) Clear rules, strong governance and sound management to minimize changes required by users.", "5. Transfer of the building to the Facilities Management Service", "For any project, the construction unit has a so-called “debug phase” after the building has been delivered for physical use. This involves testing the functionality of the building, including the set of equipment and building control systems, and often also the provision of extensive training to facilities management and their suppliers. For the United Nations, the challenge of the commissioning phase is extraordinary, as the old system is being replaced by an unknown advanced computer-led system that will control modern equipment and machinery. The current staff of the Facilities Management Service must master new technology before the commissioning phase.", "40. The Facilities Management Service must be prepared to quickly take over the management responsibilities of the building on the dates agreed with the Office of the Capital Master Plan. Failure to do so is likely to lead to delays or disruptions in the handover process, resulting in increased costs, for example, as a result of extended rental time for temporary office space, and potentially hampering United Nations operations.", "41. In November 2010, the Board of Auditors noted that the Office of the Capital Master Plan had transferred responsibility for the North Lawn Building to the Facilities Management Service 10 months later than planned. Both the Facilities Management Service and the Office of the Capital Master Plan had problems (the former included a lack of preparedness and resources, while the latter included ongoing changes and incomplete completion plans). Taken together, these issues mean that the transfer has to be postponed.", "42. The risk register of the capital master plan specifically identifies the risk of handover and commissioning in the basements where the United Nations technology, information technology, the security control room and other critical mechanical and electrical systems are located. Owing to the complexity of infrastructure technology and the fact that the headquarters complex cannot function without it, they are much more important than any work that has been transferred to date.", "43. In an interim management letter on the capital master plan early in 2010, the Board recommended that planning for the commissioning and handover be expedited. The Board noted that the Office of the Capital Master Plan and the Facilities Management Service had since learned lessons from the North Lawn Building and that a mutually agreed handover process had now been developed. The Facilities Management Service also:", "• Recruitment of additional staff to work specifically with the Office of the Capital Master Plan", "• Training of its operational staff in the further management of the modern building control system", "• The engagement of a consultant to facilitate the handover.", "44. The Board also noted that a major project was under way within the Facilities Management Service to update procurement methods and service delivery modalities. The Board is of the view that this is the right approach in the long term. The reduction in the number of vendors, the streamlining of the performance measures for each vendor and the increased linkage between the performance measures and the services provided will further clarify responsibilities and reduce management intensity. In the short term, however, and particularly before the start of the commissioning phase in 2012, this may increase the management burden at a time when needs and risks are considerable.", "45. The Board also noted that significant changes had been made to the commissioning process as a result of delays in the overall progress of the project in 2010. Originally intended to debug the Conference Building in advance of the Secretariat Building, the order had to now be changed, and the two buildings now have short or no break between them, increasing the risk of problems arising during the handover. The Board is of the view that, in the light of international good construction practices and taking into account the costs involved, it would be appropriate to retain at least one senior official from the Office of the Capital Master Plan for the first year after completion, with the support of the construction manager ' s resources, to support the handover to the Facilities Management Service, to help transfer knowledge to the new team and to help resolve any difficulties that may arise shortly after the handover.", "46. While recognizing the progress made since November 2010, the Board recommends that the Under-Secretary-General for Management jointly review, on a quarterly basis, the readiness of the Facilities Management Service and the Office of the Capital Master Plan for commissioning and handover as a high-priority management action.", "47. The Board also recommends that the Administration consider ways of retaining expertise from the Office of the Capital Master Plan to facilitate the handover to the Facilities Management Service.", "6. Project timescale", "48. Three months after the projected completion date issued by the Office of the Capital Master Plan in accelerated strategy IV, the first group of staff will start moving back to the Secretariat Building. The completion of the General Assembly and Conference Buildings is expected to be delayed by one year, with the possibility of reducing the work planned for the Library and South Annex Buildings. The strategy aims to complete the capital master plan by mid-2013 (see annex II). In his eighth annual report (A/65/511), the Secretary-General indicated that the completion date had been extended to the second half of 2013. The Board found that the latest schedule showed that the project had been postponed again. According to current projections, the General Assembly Building will be completed by mid-2014.", "49. The projections of the Office of the Capital Master Plan have proved to be overly optimistic (see figure III). The Board is concerned that delays will continue, increasing the risk of increased contractor and overhead costs. The Board noted that, as the majority of staff moved back from the swing space to the Secretariat Building, delays in the Secretariat Building could have the most serious impact on costs and United Nations operations. The Administration must therefore minimize delays in the Secretariat Building.", "Figure III Expected completion dates for the three main buildings of the capital master plan", "[Chuckles]", "50. The Board reviewed the control and management of the Office of the Capital Master Plan in November 2010 and found that while there were schedules for each building, schedules were manually aggregated as they were still being prepared. The Board emphasized the need for a comprehensive summary timetable and noted in April 2011 that the work on the summary schedule had been completed. Procedurally, the Board believes that the Office of the Capital Master Plan now has the right tools and technology to make realistic projections of the project schedule.", "51. In practical terms, however, the timetable is extremely tight and there is little room for further delay or change. Given the delayed trends observed to date (see figure III) and other pressures on the timetable, it may not be unrealistic to expect further delays in the future. Six major pressures are illustrated below.", "The “free period” of Christmas 2012 was important. The projected completion date for the Conference Building was postponed to early 2013 in early 2011. The Office of the Capital Master Plan, in cooperation with the construction manager, has changed its approach to advance the completion date to 21 December 2012 in order to take advantage of the “free period” of Christmas to relocate key broadcasters. If that time is missed, the work of the Conference Building will have to be deferred until the next “free period”, that is, mid-2013, which could entail additional costs and delay the completion date of the General Assembly Building. Another way to preserve the timetable is that work may have to start at great cost in the evenings and weekends.", "53. Delay risk due to excessive change requirements. As the project moves towards completion, Headquarters departments need to adhere to their original decisions and avoid proposing changes. As explained in section B.4, changes requested by users are not only expensive but also have the potential to delay completion of the project.", "54. Reliance on third parties. Many of the key paths to the timetable depend on the work of others over which the Administration has no direct control. For example, the structural strengthening work above the Franklin Roosevelt Drive requires the host city authorities to issue a licence and close the driveway in a timely manner; the utility company must complete its work on the driveway and the First Road; and the host city ' s electricity company must complete the critical and critical road connections that are important in the basement arch. These efforts, which rely on third parties, while unavoidable, are bound to create uncertainty and increase the risk of cost increases and scheduling delays.", "55. Although there are plans for the three main buildings, the intentions regarding the Dag Hammarskjöld Library and the South Annex are very uncertain. The Library and South Annex Buildings are part of the scope of the capital master plan project approved by the General Assembly in accelerated strategy IV. The Board was informed by the Office of the Capital Master Plan that the latest projected cost for the renovation of the two buildings, as originally envisaged, was $65 million. The agreed budget for the capital master plan did not establish separate costs for the two buildings. The new security requirements meant that the original plans for the renovation of the two buildings were no longer feasible. As the two buildings are close to 42nd Street, no practical solution has been found to date. Design work has stalled and, at the time of submission of the present report, the Office of the Capital Master Plan had no viable options for the two buildings.", "56. More complex, there may be development plans in adjacent neighbourhoods that may significantly or possibly completely exclude the security risks assessed. It is too early to make a judgement, but the end result of this uncertainty is that it is not possible at this point to calculate the timetable for the two buildings. If the Library and South Annex Buildings are to be renovated within the timescale of the capital master plan, the required procurement must be completed by January 2013. This means that design work will have to take place to a considerable extent in 2011. However, this is subject to the Administration's full review of the Library and South Annex Buildings and its determination of how to handle this part of the capital master plan.", "57. Projects welcome donor funding, but this poses a risk to progress. The contributions of Member States had helped to finance specific interior designs, which were of financial and historical importance to the capital master plan. Five Member States have contributed a total of $6 million, and three others are considering making additional contributions. Each Member State would recommend an architect or designer to work with the Office of the Capital Master Plan to plan in detail the contribution space. The joint design of the project team with the proponents of Member States is likely to delay completion unless guided by a strict time frame agreed upon by the parties for the design decision.", "Delays in the approval of guaranteed maximum price contracts. The process of approving contracts was time-consuming and involved many back-to-back steps and negotiations between the parties concerned. The Board notes, however, that the Office of the Capital Master Plan uses “task orders” to begin early work when the guaranteed maximum price contract is still under review. The Board found that it took an average of 113 days for the construction manager to submit a guaranteed maximum price contract to the Administration to approve the contract. In order to meet the projected completion date of the building, the current schedule for the Conference Building and the permanent broadcast facility assumes a 42-day contract approval period. Unless the procurement process can be expedited to meet the timelines, the completion date may be further delayed.", "59. The Board recommends that the Administration:", "(a) Urgently address security issues in the Library and South Annex Buildings and the lack of viable design options;", "(b) To confirm whether the buildings are still under construction and, if so, how the security challenges should be addressed;", "(c) Seek the approval of the General Assembly for the proposed course of action for the two buildings.", "60. The Board also recommends that the Administration prioritize the process and time for the approval of the remaining guaranteed maximum price contracts and amendments so that they can be completed within the 42-day period, as assumed in the schedule.", "7. Budget management", "Updated budget and projected final cost", "61. Following the approval of the capital master plan in 2006 of $1,877 million, two additional funding sources emerged. One is the commitment of five Member States to provide contributions totalling $6 million, as indicated above. Second, the host country contributed $100 million for enhanced security upgrades. As a result, the revised budget for the capital master plan currently totals some $1,983 million.", "62. According to the consulting programme manager in the Office of the Capital Master Plan, the latest forecast of the final anticipated cost of the project (as at the end of February 2011) was $2,061 million, some $79 million (4 per cent) higher than the revised budget. The Board noted that the projected cost did not include a provision for the costs that would have been identified as a significant risk, that there was no robust and auditable estimate of the cost of all change orders prior to the completion of the project and that it did not reflect all projected swing space rental costs. The Board is therefore of the view that, while the situation is more likely to be worse than better, further overexpenditures and delays can be minimized if the Administration is able to act quickly and with determination to fully address the concerns raised in the present report. Table 2 below shows the evolution of major costs over the calendar year.", "Table 2 Projected expenditure for the capital master plan", "(Thousands of United States dollars)", "Strategy IV Accelerated strategy", "October 2006 September 2007 October 2008 September 2009 January 2010 September 2010 February 2011", "Construction 935 300 964 625 1 032 900 1 057 402 1 045 605 1 016,920 1 094 121", "Enhanced security upgrades 82 185", "Professional fees, management costs 231 000 234 508 280 340 302 365 311 772 316 549 302 069", "Enhanced security upgrade costs – – – 10713", "Renovation and rental of swing space 214 487 389 858 425 695 426 881 450 919 421 113 468 936", "Contingency and forward escalation 495,900 477 819 235 236 181 423 163 587 202 209 96 628", "Additional contingency for enhanced security upgrades 6 659", "Total project costs", "Budget", "0 190 110 97 471 91 371 95 184 80 091 78 611", "Source: A/62/364, A/65/5 (Vol. V), A/65/511 and the monthly cost report of the project ' s consultant programme manager for March 2011.", "63. Figure IV illustrates the cost changes in table 2 in graph form.", "Figure IV Project cost trends for calendar years", "[Chuckles]", "Source: Data analysis maintained by the Office of the Capital Master Plan.", "64. The main points to be noted are:", "• Final construction and management costs are expected to increase in recent years, mainly related to enhanced security upgrades", "• Contingencies decreased over the years to $96 million at the end of March 2011. In recent years, the overall contingency has shown a slow downward trend in recent years, as contract prices have been lower than expected, despite persistent pressure on change orders. The resulting savings supported the contingency fund.", "Prediction, contingency fund and cost uncertainty", "65. For any major project, it is important to make accurate and up-to-date projections of the final costs for the future in order to give clients and governance and fund-raising heads a realistic expectation of whether the projects in question will be completed within the budget allocations and, if they are found to be rising, take appropriate action as soon as possible.", "66. The Board considers the approach taken by the Office of the Capital Master Plan to record actual costs robust. Each of the actual costs is recorded in detail and reviewed by the construction manager, the consulting programme manager and the Office team on a step-by-step basis. Audit trails have been established and the Procurement Division has been appropriately involved in key processes.", "67. The Board is of the view that the approach taken in planning future guaranteed maximum price works and in making provision for construction costs is also robust. Costs are estimated by the construction manager and the independent cost consultant, and in general there are few significant discrepancies. In practice, the estimated cost is always higher than the actual market price, and the “value margin savings” are credited to the project's contingency fund.", "68. The Board is of the view, however, that the approach to estimating future costs (e.g., costs that have been identified as high-risk or future change orders) is not analytical. This creates uncertainty as to whether the remaining contingency funds will be sufficient to sustain the project until completion or whether the currently reported overexpenditure will continue to increase. The main shortcomings of the scheme are as follows:", "• No specific or quantified provision is made to address the continuing impact of change orders. The change order trend is clear, but the project team did not anticipate future costs of the change against this trend. The reported level of the contingency fund represents the difference between the overall level of the original contingency fund and the commitment authority resulting from the changes thus far. As a result of this balanced aggregate approach, the opportunity to make a more informed forecast of future change costs was missed, which meant that overall cost projections were not as accurate as they should have been.", "• The risk register contains a large number of projects that, if they occur, will adversely affect costs, while the Office of the Capital Master Plan has not established a possibility-based or any form of allowance to address the costs that may result from those risks.", "69. In view of the continued unilateral nature of the changes, the scale and nature of the remaining risks and the continuing pressure on the schedule, the Board is concerned that the remaining $96 million in the contingency fund may not be sufficient and that the excess of the budget may be higher than currently reported. The Board also noted other factors that put additional pressure on the budget, such as:", "• Current cost projections include rental of swing space until 30 September 2012, but full relocation of staff to the Secretariat Building by December 2012 and lease of swing space until April 2013. Therefore, the current cost projections do not include the projected costs for all swing space buildings. The Office of the Capital Master Plan and the Facilities Management Service are currently making decisions on which leases are to be retained or terminated. The Office ' s newest model indicated that the unbudgeted rental costs for the period September to December 2012 would total $22.2 million. In addition, the amount of liquidated damages for early termination of the lease could amount to $23.7 million. No decision has been made on how the Office and the Management Service share these costs", "• The Board has noted that work may be required at night or on weekends to comply with key dates. The Office of the Capital Master Plan informed the Board that at least two guaranteed maximum price contracts included a provision for the possible need for overtime, for which provision was made within the contract. This is not the case for all contracts, and accelerated work in the North Lawn Building and the basements has so far Today's costs are over $5 million and $3 million, respectively. Under the change order procedure, these costs are charged to the contingency fund, but the costs associated with ongoing and future accelerated work are likely to result in an overall increase in project costs", "• To date, two additional payment requests have been submitted by industry contractors. The first requirement does not appear to increase the anticipated final cost, while the second requirement is likely to be met through change orders, which may result in additional project costs. Another risk is that some industry contractors are required to expedite their work in the Secretariat Building and that these contractors may request additional payments. Negotiations are under way with the industry contractor to obtain the contractor ' s agreement to expedite the work without requiring additional costs", "• While the host country contributed $100 million for enhanced security upgrades, the latest version of the capital master plan risk register, as seen by the Board, confirms that there is uncertainty about the total cost in this regard. A breakdown of the costs is provided in annex IV to the present report. The Board noted that recent procurement activities for the steel structure of the Conference Building were in line with expectations. Nevertheless, the cost of the enhanced security upgrade is a high-risk area, as third-party approval is required and road closures are required in the Franklin Roosevelt driveway.", "70. The Board recommends that the Office of the Capital Master Plan strengthen its cost forecasting methodology to include an auditable estimate of all change order costs accurately calculated until the completion of the project and to make provision to meet the likely costs of projects included in the risk register and other known problems, such as the extension of the office building lease as a result of delays in progress.", "Provision for cost escalation", "The past project cost projections provided by the Secretary-General include a provision for future cost inflation (“cost escalation”). The Board noted that the total amount of the cost escalation reserve was no longer reported, although specific provisions were still included at the sub-project level, representing between 1 and 1 per cent of the cost. On that basis, the final cost of the project is expected to include an increase in the amount of approximately $17 million to meet costs.", "72. The Board also noted that the Turner construction cost index [3] for 2009 and 2010 showed that construction cost inflation had actually been negative in recent years (meaning a downward trend in the total project forecast reported). The Board concluded that the project's estimates of future construction cost inflation in recent years had been overly prudent, and supported by the fact that the actual contract price of the project had been lower than the projected cost estimates (the project team referred to it as “value margin savings”, which had expanded the contingency fund, as described in paragraph 67).", "73. The Board recommends that the Office of the Capital Master Plan:", "`(a) Review its approach to the provision of provisions for the impact of inflation in future construction costs based on published indices;", "(b) Clarify and simplify its reporting in this regard when inflation is expected to be low or zero.", "Associated costs", "In addition to the costs already included in the capital master plan budget, there are various other “collateral costs” for goods or services, which, although required for the work of the plan, are not directly attributable to the refurbishment operations of the plan and are therefore not included in the original budget. The main associated costs relate to:", "• Acquisition of furniture for the entire complex ($44 million)", "• Requirements for a new permanent broadcast facility ($40 million)", "• Additional security resources for site security and security training during construction ($28 million)", "• Logistics management, asset tracking, migration of audio-visual equipment and temporary additional staffing for the Office of Central Support Services ($20 million)", "• Establishment of archives ($2.7 million)", "• Construction of primary security command centres and physical security systems ($1.8 million).", "75. In March 2011, an updated projection of $158.9 million for associated costs was reported to the General Assembly. [4] In April 2011, the General Assembly requested the Secretary-General to reduce specific associated costs by $13 million, thereby reducing the projected final expenditure to approximately $145.9 million (see resolution 65/269). The Board noted that the $145.9 million referred to above represented associated costs up to December 2012 and that delays in the project schedule beyond that date could lead to additional associated costs, and that it was therefore necessary to reconsider the cost assumptions in the light of the latest completion schedule.", "76. One of the main components of the associated costs is the acquisition of furniture for the entire complex. Based on estimates provided to the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions in February 2011, the cost of furniture and systems furniture [5] was $55 million. The Office of the Capital Master Plan is developing an alternative strategy, which includes a reduction of approximately $11 million by increasing the reuse of existing furniture and purchasing fewer new furniture. The Office informed the Board that it was confident that it would achieve the objective in terms of physical procurement, but was currently assessing the feasibility of the option and the risks involved, as well as whether its benefits exceeded the costs that might be incurred.", "77. The Office of the Capital Master Plan was requested by the General Assembly to absorb, within its budget, the associated costs and most of the costs of the secondary external data centre (see Assembly resolutions 63/270 and 65/269). To date, the Office of the Capital Master Plan has been paying associated costs from the project ' s cash reserve, and projections indicate that, regardless of other cost pressures, if the project continues to fund associated costs, the project will begin to face serious cash flow problems in 2012.", "The Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions, in its report on the capital master plan (A/65/725), noted with concern the possible difficulties in absorbing associated costs and recommended that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to submit, no later than the second quarter of 2011, proposals on how best to address associated costs, including through cost-efficiency improvements.", "79. The Board remains concerned that the issue of associated costs has not been explicitly addressed and considers that the project may not be able to absorb associated costs unless the scope of the capital master plan is reduced or the anticipated final cost is increased to approximately $2,227 million (see table 3). The Office of the Capital Master Plan informed the Board that the Under-Secretary-General for Management would present a funding strategy for associated costs to the General Assembly in autumn 2011.", "Table 3 Projected final cost of the capital master plan", "(Millions of United States dollars)", "Projected final cost", "Current projections for the capital master plan", "Associated costs 145.9", "Secondary data centre 19.8", "Total 2 227.0", "Source: Data relating to the secondary data centre are contained in the supplementary information provided by the Office of the Capital Master Plan to the General Assembly in March 2011. The data centre budget includes $20.97 million in limited funding approved by the General Assembly, unlike projected associated costs, which are reviewed and approved annually by the General Assembly. Further information on the level of associated costs is provided in section VII of part B of the present report.", "80. The Board recommends that, in the interest of project certainty, the Administration and those responsible for governance clarify the issue of budgetary responsibility for associated costs and make a clear decision on how they are to be funded.", "81. The Board also recommends that the Administration take into account the full impact of the updated completion schedule when assessing associated cost projections.", "82. The Administration informed the Board that the revised projected associated costs would be presented to the General Assembly at the main part of its sixty-sixth session in the context of the ninth annual progress report of the Secretary-General, following discussions with the Assembly on associated costs during the first part of its resumed sixty-fifth session. The Administration also noted that the General Assembly had consistently specified that associated costs must be absorbed within the budget of the capital master plan (see resolution 65/269). The Board remains of the view that, in practice, this would lead to a reduction in the scope of the project or an increase in the project budget, and that there is still a need for more clarity and certainty on the way to address this issue.", "Benefits of the capital master plan", "83. Large-scale renovations of office buildings in any organization usually result in significant savings in operational efficiency, such as through more efficient and productive use of space and methods of work or improved energy efficiency. In the case of the capital master plan, the main benefit would be to adapt the office to its intended purpose (e.g. through asbestos removal, replacement of obsolete heating and ventilation systems, etc.). Significant energy savings were also recognized.", "84. The Board noted that energy efficiency was one of the main objectives of the project and that the Office of the Capital Master Plan regularly monitored the achievement of that objective as part of the ongoing design process. The Board also noted that the Administration had captured many of the potential wider benefits of the capital master plan, such as the opportunity to centralize the main senior management team in the Secretariat Building in order to facilitate more effective teamwork rather than simply placing people in the building, as in the past. The Administration also intends to introduce a more modern, open-space approach (rather than the previously adopted cellular office space layout) for many levels of staff, which would improve interaction, teamwork and communication.", "85. The Board is concerned, however, that the Administration has not taken the opportunity to promote more efficient use of office space and actual cost savings, and has instead implemented a policy of allocating one desk per person. In fact, there has never been a single organization where 100 per cent of its staff sits at the same desk. Desks and offices are idle owing to staff travel, meetings, sick leave or leave. It is not uncommon for public sector organizations to have a desk occupancy rate of 30 to 50 per cent. This means that there is no need for an organization to cover the cost of desk and office space that is sufficient for the simultaneous use of all staff, and that significant savings can be achieved by reducing the amount of office space it covers.", "There is now a widespread “desktop” approach in many business and public sector organizations, through which desk space can be used flexibly and staff can use computers and work at any vacant desk rather than assigning a desk to each staff member. By adopting this approach, organizations usually reduce the number of desks by 30 per cent, resulting in significant savings in office space rental, furniture and energy costs. Properly managed and making full use of existing information and communications technology has no negative impact on operational effectiveness and has actually benefited from the ease with which staff can be moved and the flexibility with which teams can be restructured.", "87. In view of the reported potential cost overruns previously, the Board is of the view that the Administration should explore how to take advantage of this opportunity to reduce costs before finalizing the allocation of seats for the off-site United Nations compound. With a flexible desk-use policy, the Secretariat Building would accommodate a larger number of departmental staff and the United Nations would be able to further reduce the currently rented office space. It is not unrealistic to expect that such a policy could result in a sustained reduction of the current rental costs by at least 10 to 20 per cent.", "88. The Board also noted that the capital master plan provided an important opportunity to streamline office records management by facilitating the digitization or off-site archiving of records and information. Although the Office of the Capital Master Plan issued records management guidelines in 2008 to guide the digitization exercise, a large number of file cabinets are still marked on the floor floor plan of the Secretariat Building. Projections by the consultant programme manager indicate that the cost of purchasing the filing cabinet of the building could range from $3.2 million to $6.4 million and would occupy a large amount of floor space.", "89. The Board concluded that the Administration had not fully utilized the benefits that the project might provide.", "90. The Board recommends that the Administration:", "(a) The establishment of a small senior management team to review the potential benefits of the project, supported by an independent space planning expert body;", "(b) To ensure that the benefits are reviewed in a systematic and coordinated manner by the group.", "The Board also recommends that the Administration consider ways to make more efficient use of space, such as adopting a “desktop” policy and reducing physical filing space, and ensure that the relocation of staff and office furniture within the United Nations compound and other buildings is completed expeditiously and in accordance with the schedule.", "9. Replacement planning and team stability", "92. The capital master plan is highly dependent on a small number of senior personnel, an issue included in the project ' s risk register, which refers to the potential loss of knowledge and its impact on decision-making and progress once the senior members of the team suddenly leave. This risk will increase as the completion date of the project approaches, as individuals, especially those on fixed-term contracts, are bound to focus on their future work. This could lead to an unplanned reduction in the number of project staff.", "93. The Office of the Capital Master Plan has a total of 26 staff members, of whom 13 hold long-term contracts, 11 hold fixed-term contracts and 2 hold short-term contracts, usually temporary contracts. Those with long-term contracts would be looking for suitable internal positions and, given the long recruitment cycle within the United Nations, they might not always choose the date of departure to coincide with the remaining requirements of the capital master plan.", "94. The Board found that the Administration did not have a plan in place to enable it to fill other vacancies in the project leadership promptly when they occurred. The Administration informed the Board that the provisions of the current United Nations human resources management rules and regulations did not allow for such plans or for rapid response. However, the Board is of the view that there is a real risk that there will be no rapid replacement of key staff and that effective risk mitigation strategies need to be developed.", "95. The Board recommends that the Administration develop a risk-mitigation strategy so that critical positions in the management team in the Office of the Capital Master Plan can be filled expeditiously in the event of unforeseen vacancies.", "96. The Board also recommends that the Administration consider whether a similar arrangement should be applied to other teams involved in major business transformation programmes in other United Nations departments.", "10. Procurement", "International procurement", "97. The Administration informed the Board that, from the outset, it had taken care to encourage the widest possible participation of vendors worldwide in the capital master plan. The Board notes that the Office of the Capital Master Plan continues to explore ways to increase the participation of vendors from developing countries and countries with economies in transition. This included advertising, travelling exhibitions and sending notes verbales to delegations to encourage vendors to bid.", "98. As at 26 April 2011, the procurement of capital master plan goods and services from vendors from developing countries and countries with economies in transition amounted to just over $12 million, or 2 per cent of the total procurement of project goods and services. The Board recognizes that the Office of the Capital Master Plan complies with United Nations procurement rules that do not favour bidders from any given country. Contracts were awarded on the basis of a minimum price or best value for money, and the Administration informed the Board that vendors from the host country had obtained most of the contracts because of their comparative advantage in obtaining labour and goods from the local rather than overseas.", "Post-Award Review Committee", "99. The Board has previously commented that in the context of the high level of authority delegated to the Executive Director of the capital master plan, contract awards and amendments need to be kept under review to ensure that they comply with United Nations procurement rules and regulations, provide learning opportunities for future procurement and maintain independent controls over the compliance of contract changes. In its progress report for the year ended 31 December 2008 (A/64/5 (Vol. V)), the Board recommended that the Administration “take appropriate measures to regulate transactions under the authority delegated to the Director of the Procurement Division under the memorandum of the United Nations Controller approved on 15 November 2007”.", "The Board also recommended that “where ex post facto review procedures cannot be guaranteed, [the Administration] should make every effort to involve the Headquarters Committee on Contracts in the adjudication process before signing or amending contracts under the authority of the Headquarters Committee on Contracts”. The Board recommends on a broader scale that the Administration “consider ways and means to significantly strengthen internal controls over contractual amendments relating to the capital master plan”.", "101. The Administration responded by establishing the Post-Award Review Committee, which reports to the Department of Management, to review and comment on procurement within the United Nations. The Committee understands its terms of reference as a retroactive review of all contract amendments valued at $500,000 to $5 million to determine the appropriateness of procurement activities. The Committee was established in October 2009 but did not start its activities until April 2010, owing to delays in reaching agreement on its working procedures and membership.", "102. The Board was informed that the post-award review committee was revisiting its working procedures owing to the large backlog in its work. At the time of the Board ' s audit, it had reviewed only 13 of the 154 related contract amendments. [6] The backlog is still increasing, and the Board is concerned that the Administration has not obtained more control or time-barred value from this review process. The Board is also concerned that, if current trends continue, the backlog may become unmanageable and notes the concern of the Office of the Capital Master Plan that the disposal of the backlog may also affect the ability of the Procurement Division to process new contracts and amendments in a timely manner, in turn affecting the schedule of the capital master plan.", "103. The Board recommends that the Administration urgently review the effectiveness of the Post-Award Review Committee in order to streamline its work and find the right balance between the need for assurance and control and the need to maintain the project schedule and to guarantee the work of the Procurement Division.", "C.

The Office of the Capital Master Plan is in contact with the above authorities to develop the necessary work schedule. However, the Board emphasizes this issue as a risk to the timetable, as obtaining clearance is a critical point for the project as a whole. According to the Office of the Capital Master Plan, the completion of the project would be delayed by one day. In order for the work to proceed as planned, it is essential that the project permit be allowed to commence at least four nights a week. Even if a project licence had been agreed, there was much uncertainty about the schedule of planned work in this regard. Some of the work could only be carried out at night and, owing to the nature of most of the work, it was difficult to estimate accurately the time required for construction activities. The initial assessment of the impact of the enhanced security upgrade on the timetable was that the completion of the Conference Building would be delayed until 2013. Since that date was not acceptable, the construction manager was requested to revise the schedule, reduce the time given for each task and plan a number of construction activities at the same time, thus setting the projected completion date at 21 December 2012. In its monthly report of March 2011, the construction manager referred to this as a “time-out schedule”, and the company listed some of the key actions that the Administration had to complete to complete on time. However, the overall schedule for the capital master plan does not yet include all aspects of the enhanced security upgrade. The construction manager is updating the schedule, but at the time of submission of the present report, planning was based on the completion of 60 per cent of the “construction documents” on the drawings at that time. The full Conference Building drawings will not be produced until 27 May 2011 at the earliest. The schedule for the Conference Building is given only six weeks from the time the construction manager submits the first amendment to the guaranteed maximum price contract to the process by which the Administration approves and signs the amendment. This process usually takes 113 days, or about 16 weeks (see section B.6). While it may take less time to approve an amendment to a guaranteed maximum price contract than to approve a new guaranteed maximum price contract, the Board considers that it is a risk to grant such a short time frame in the schedule. Similarly, the schedule of the permanent broadcast facility in the Conference Building contains only six weeks to approve and sign guaranteed maximum price contracts. Without a permanent broadcast facility, the Conference Building cannot provide core functions. The Board shares the view that such a short six-week period poses a risk to this activity on the project ' s critical path. The General Assembly Building is scheduled to be completed by mid-2014 for the general debate in the second half of 2014. The design is in the 100 per cent completion phase of the construction documents, although a more detailed set of construction documents will be prepared during 2011, when the schedule for the building will be more firm. The renovation of the Dag Hammarskjöld Library and South Annex Buildings The renovation of the Library and South Annex Buildings is within the scope of the project. However, the Office of the Capital Master Plan is not yet in a position to provide satisfactory design options for these buildings in response to recent security assessments. Design work has been suspended and it is not clear what progress will be made in this regard. While the high-level master schedule of the project shows an indicative completion date for the project, the detailed master schedule of the capital master plan does not show procurement and construction activities related to those buildings. As part of the enhanced security upgrade, new security measures will be added to First Avenue. This is an additional project for the capital master plan project. It is planned to install pillars, mobile flower platforms and impact-resistant devices and to construct security screening buildings on land owned by the City of New York. The work will therefore require intensive liaison with municipalities and utility companies. Although the General Assembly, in its resolution 65/269, reaffirmed the need to dismantle the North Lawn Building, the project was not included in the monthly schedule of the project, nor was the schedule included in the annual progress report of the Secretary-General. It is the Board ' s understanding, however, that this work will probably take place in the second half of 2014, once the General Assembly Building is completed. The underground infrastructure has proven to be difficult and subject to considerable changes. Ongoing changes have created considerable uncertainty about the timetable. A specific uncertainty is the schedule of the loading dock. The design intent has not yet been established and the work may result in a change in traffic traffic on 48th Street, requiring the approval of the City of New York. The schedule for the Secretariat Building was originally based on top-down construction and renovation order. The Office of the Capital Master Plan has now changed its plan and the construction manager has been requested to complete the 17 to 27 floors and then the 1 to 10 floors within a shorter time frame. The maximum price guarantee contract indicated a completion date for the entire building on 3 September 2012, but the Office of the Capital Master Plan and the construction manager had informally agreed to complete the work on the 1 to 10 floors by 1 July 2012. The Office now wishes to advance this date to 1 June 2012. This timetable is extremely challenging and leaves little room for error or delay. If any problems arise, additional funds may need to be allocated to accelerate the components of the project; however, this may be constrained by the fact that there is only one external elevator in the Secretariat Building.", "Annex IV", "Breakdown of enhanced security upgrade costs", "(Millions of United States dollars)", "89.53 The Franklin Roosevelt Drive and Conference Building and the associated major structures on the ground floor strengthen First Avenue and the security facilities for visitors and staff 31.96 Installation of guard posts and the possible installation of gates and other devices on the sidewalk.

的实质性成果文件，包括《沙姆沙伊赫最后文件》和《沙姆沙伊赫宣言》中所载的不结盟运动的所有原则立场和决定的持续相关性和有效性。同样地，他们表示决心维护并按照万隆原则以及在哈瓦那举行的第14次不结盟运动首脑会议通过的《关于不结盟运动在当前国际形势下的宗旨和原则及作用宣言》[5] 中所商定的不结盟运动在当前国际形势下的宗旨和原则行事。", "3. 部长们承认不结盟运动主席关于不结盟运动从沙姆沙伊赫举行第15次首脑会议至今所开展活动的报告，其中介绍了在执行《沙姆沙伊赫最后文件》和《沙姆沙伊赫宣言》阐述的执行《不结盟运动行动计划》过程中所取得的重大进展，该行动计划为加强并振兴不结盟运动的进程做出了积极贡献。", "2.", "第一章：全球问题", "国际局势回顾", "4. 部长们强调，当前的全球状况在和平与安全、经济发展和社会进步、人权与法治领域对不结盟国家构成了极大的挑战。他们申明，出现了很多新的令人关切的领域和挑战，特别是目前的全球金融危机和经济危机，要求国际社会重新承诺对《联合国宪章》的宗旨和原则以及国际法原则的支持与保护。在盘点自第15次不结盟运动国家元首和政府首脑会议以来在国际一级的发展状况时，部长们指出，不结盟运动关于建立和平与繁荣的世界以及公平与公正的世界秩序的集体愿望仍然受到一些基本障碍的阻碍。这些障碍的形式有，一方面，除其他外，全球金融和经济危机对发展中国家经济增长与发展严重的不利影响，这可能会导致这些国家贫穷和匮乏的日益增加、发展中世界绝大多数国家处于持续缺乏资源和不发达的状态；另一方面，除其他外，贸易条件持续不平等、发达国家缺乏合作，一些发达国家施加强制和单方面措施。富裕且强大的国家继续在决定国际关系的性质与方向上发挥着过度的影响，包括经济和贸易关系，以及管理这些关系的规则，其中很多规则以牺牲发展中国家为代价。", "5. 部长们重申，不结盟运动的各项努力将仍然遵循其创立原则、在哈瓦那举行的第14次不结盟运动首脑会议通过的《关于不结盟运动在当前国际形势下的宗旨和原则及作用宣言》所载原则、《联合国宪章》以及国际法的指导。为此目的，不结盟运动将继续支持国家主权与主权平等、领土完整和不干涉任何国家内政的原则；采取有效措施抑制侵略或其他破坏和平的行为，维护、促进并鼓励以不危及国际和平与安全以及正义的方式和平解决国际争端；在国际关系中避免使用武力或进行武力威胁或以任何其他不符合《联合国宪章》的宗旨和原则的方式破坏任何国家的领土完整或政治独立；在尊重平等权利和人民在反抗外国占领中的自决权原则的基础上发展友好关系；在人民与政府团结的基础上实现国际合作，解决政治、经济、社会、文化或人道主义性质的国际问题；以及促进并鼓励对所有人的人权和基本自由的尊重，不分种族、性别、语言或宗教。", "6. 部长们注意到，现有、新的和新出现的威胁与挑战，包括目前多重的既相互关联又互相促进的全球危机，继续阻碍着各国实现更多经济发展和社会进步、和平与安全，以及享受人权与法治的努力。除其他外，由于某些国家日益倾向于诉诸单边主义和单方面施加的措施、不履行有关具有法律约束力的国际文书特别是关于大规模毁灭性武器和传统武器的条约下的承诺和义务、恐怖主义、冲突、侵犯人权和国际人道主义法、在国际关系中采用双重标准、绝大多数发达国家继续未能以及不愿意履行其在经济和社会领域的承诺，人类仍然无法实现国际和平与安全。他们强调，国际社会必须按照《联合国宪章》和国际法原则共同纠正这些状况。", "7. 部长们强调，全球化继续为发展中国家的未来和自立提供机遇，同时也提出了挑战和风险。全球化和贸易自由化的进程在各国之间和内部所产生的惠益并不均匀，而全球经济的特点则是缓慢而不平衡的增长和不稳定。此外，这一进程使发展中国家越来越容易受到金融和经济危机的不利影响。当前形式的全球化使发展中国家的被边缘化永远存在，甚至增加了发展中国家的被边缘化。因此，全球化必须被转化为一股积极力量，改变每个人生活、施惠于所有国家，并且促进发展中国家繁荣和赋权，而不是持续贫穷和依赖于发达国家。此外，应当加大努力，制定一项全球战略，将发展层面优先纳入全球进程和有关多边机构，以使发展中国家能够从全球化和贸易自由化所提供的机会中获益，包括通过为发展创造一个有利的外部经济环境，这要求国际贸易、货币和金融体系之间加强一致性，使之具有普遍、开放、平等、非胁迫性、基于规则、可预测和非歧视性。", "8. 信息和通信技术革命继续快速地从根本上改变着世界，并在发达国家和发展中国家之间形成了一条巨大且日益扩大的数字鸿沟。如果发展中国家想从全球化进程中获益，则必须缩小这一鸿沟。应当使发展中国家更容易获得这些新的技术创新，以使其经济现代化和重新振兴，追求发展目标和人民的福祉。在此背景之下，这些目标的实现需要一个有利的国际环境，以及各国特别是发达国家恪守其承诺。此外，不结盟运动强调必须防止一切阻碍发展中国家享受信息和通信技术惠益以及访问发达国家建立的网络的歧视性做法和政策。", "9. 未来将和过去一样会出现许多挑战和机遇。不结盟运动必须继续保持强大、团结和富有活力，以应对这些挑战和机遇，并保存不结盟运动的历史遗产。不结盟运动继续保有相关性及有效性将在很大程度上取决于每一个不结盟运动成员国的统一和团结，以及其积极影响这些改变的能力。在这方面，振兴和加强不结盟运动的进程必须继续加以推进，并予以巩固。", "10. 各位部长回顾了1999年7月在阿尔及尔举行的非洲统一组织(非统组织)首脑会议上的决定，其中呼吁恢复那些政府通过非制宪方式掌权的国家的宪政合法性，以及2000年在洛美通过的《非洲联盟组织法》所载各项原则，并在此背景之下，鼓励不结盟国家继续维护符合不结盟运动创立原则的民主理念。", "11. 各位部长欢迎联合国大会将4月22日指定为“国际地球母亲日”，并承认地球及其生态系统是人类的家园。他们同意提高对这一事项的认识。", "不结盟运动：作用和工作方法", "12. 在承认其人民的期望的同时，各位部长重申了不结盟运动对万隆原则和那些在哈瓦那首脑会议上通过的《关于不结盟运动在当前国际形势下的宗旨和原则及作用宣言》所载原则、《联合国宪章》及其维护与促进的不可动摇的政治和道德承诺和决心以及充分尊重，以进一步巩固和加强不结盟运动作为在多边论坛，特别是联合国中代表发展中国家的主要政治平台的作用和立场。在此背景之下，他们强调，实现不结盟运动的原则、理念和宗旨取决于其成员之间在互相尊重、尊重多样性和忍让的坚定基础之上的统一、团结和凝聚力。", "13. 各位部长重申，在落实体现了不结盟运动在纷繁国际问题上的机构地位的《沙姆沙伊赫宣言》和以往各次不结盟运动首脑会议及部长级会议通过的各项文件的过程中，应当适当考虑最大限度地发挥不结盟运动处理当前迅速演变的国际局势、危机和挑战的能力。", "14. 各位部长决定，如果不结盟运动的任何成员遭受损害，不管是经济、政治还是军事性质的损害，或安全方面的损害，以及如果一成员因被施加单边制裁或禁运而遭受损害，那么不结盟运动应通过提供道义、物质和其他形式的援助对受影响国家表示声援。为此目的，各位部长将继续对不结盟运动的现有机制进行审查，并在必要时探索提供此种援助的新机制。", "15. 各位部长回顾，多年来，不结盟运动在其成员关心和十分重要的问题方面一直发挥着关键的积极而有效的作用，比如非殖民化、种族隔离、包括巴勒斯坦问题在内的中东局势、维护国际和平与安全，以及裁军。在建立大约半个世纪以来，并且在经历了很多挑战和动荡之后，现在应当维持和进一步巩固不结盟运动的加强和振兴进程，同时继续开展行动，使不结盟运动有效应对当今所面临的主要挑战，并培养对未来的共同观点。在现有和新出现的威胁和挑战的背景之下，不结盟运动必须继续促进多边主义，特别是通过加强包括全球治理在内的联合国的核心作用、维护发展中国家的利益和防止其被边缘化。", "16. 各位部长欢迎阿拉伯埃及共和国在2009年7月15日和16日在沙姆沙伊赫举行第15次不结盟运动首脑会议的背景下举行不结盟运动第一夫人首脑会议的倡议，会议的主题是“妇女在危机管理中的作用”，并与2009年11月15日在罗马举行的世界粮食首脑会议同时举行第2次不结盟运动第一夫人首脑会议，会议的主题是“粮食保障和妇女获得资源”，体现了不结盟运动极其重视妇女积极和平等地参与解决当前的国际危机和挑战。", "17. 各位部长认识到2011年迎来不结盟运动成立50周年，表示满意不结盟运动在过去的五十年里在维护和促进其理念、原则和宗旨以及处理其成员的集体关切和利益方面所取得的成绩和成就。他们承认创始者、[6] 创始国领导人[7] 以及不结盟运动的其他已故领袖的智慧与远见，重申不结盟运动致力于维护、支持和进一步巩固其原则、理念和宗旨。", "18. 在这方面，遵照第15次不结盟运动首脑会议关于2011年纪念不结盟运动成立五十周年的指示，即突出强调不结盟运动的成就并进一步增强其今后的作用，各位部长对印度尼西亚共和国的慷慨之举表示赞赏，该国是万隆原则的诞生地，将在2011年5月25日主办不结盟运动成立五十周年的主纪念活动，同时举办第16次不结盟运动部长级会议，以期通过一项关于不结盟运动在过去五十年取得的成就的纪念宣言和一项在今后进一步取得成就的行动计划，确保不结盟运动在迅速变化的世界里继续发挥振兴的积极作用。", "19. 各位部长还欢迎塞尔维亚共和国提议2011年9月5日和6日在巴格达为不结盟运动的前任主席另行组织正式的部长级纪念会议，所有其他有兴趣的不结盟运动成员国和观察员均可参加，以庆祝这座在1961年主办了第1次不结盟运动首脑会议的城市的举办地和历史遗产。[8]", "20. 各位部长决定在2011年9月联合国大会第六十六届会议期间在联合国总部组织一次不结盟运动成立五十周年高级别纪念活动。", "21. 各位部长进一步呼吁不结盟运动所有成员国和观察国在国家一级采取其认为适当的方式，与其人民及其他不结盟运动国家共同纪念不结盟运动的成立。为传播信息起见，鼓励不结盟运动成员国和观察国向不结盟运动主席通报在国家一级举办的各项活动。", "22. 各位部长满意地认可不结盟运动的成员国从1961年的25位发展到2011年拥有120位成员国和17位观察国，并欢迎不结盟运动最近于2011年接纳斐济共和国和阿塞拜疆共和国为正式成员，于2009年接纳阿根廷共和国为观察国。", "23. 在使不结盟运动重新致力于其原则、理念和宗旨，并根据上述应通过不结盟运动及其现有机制和安排进一步努力维护、保护和促进的原则立场，各位部长商定采取以下措施，除其他外：", "1.

在确认经济和社会发展、和平与安全，以及人权和法治之间相互关联的同时，应当致力于确保任何旨在将联合国转型成为更加有效的预防冲突的工具的努力都考虑到必须按照《宪章》和国际法制定一个平衡协调而全面的方法，以增进冲突预防和解决以及冲突后和平建设战略，目的在于实现可持续的经济增长和可持续发展。在此背景之下，联合国所有主要机构在按照其各自的职权制定和执行一个更加有效的集体安全体系方面发挥积极作用至关重要；", "9. 联合国各会员国发展共同的认识和商定的办法对解决国际和平与安全所面临的现有、新的和新出现的各种威胁和挑战以及冲突根源而言必不可少。这种针对集体安全的共同认识和办法只有在联合国所有会员国按照《宪章》的宗旨和原则共同制定才具有合法性。联合国每一个主要机构的积极参与都十分关键，既行使其各自的职权，同时又不影响由《宪章》所确立的平衡；", "10. 应当继续依据联合国相关决议，通过已经确立的协商安排开展努力，加强民间社会、非政府组织和私营机构对联合国及其各机构工作的贡献，并服务于《联合国宪章》的宗旨和原则。这种努力应当寻求，特别是，解决发展中国家在调集资源和获得落实可持续发展方案所需技术和能力方面遇到的障碍；", "11. 各位部长强调，在哈瓦那召开的第14次不结盟运动首脑会议《最后文件》以及由不结盟运动和77国集团加中国主席签署的2007年1月3日的联合致信中所载的不结盟运动关于审查联合国方案和活动任务的原则立场已作为联合国正式文件予以分发(A/61/693)；以及；", "68.12 各位部长确认任务审查进程的结论，并注意到第62/278号决议，特别是第4段，其中大会呼吁其有关机构和附属机关在其各自的任务授权范围内并按照既定的方案规划条例和细则，继续改进其任务的执行情况，并解决立法决定的持续有效性以及秘书处和联合国系统其他机构各部门之间的有效协调问题。", "69. 各位部长对国际刑事法院在不结盟运动和77国集团加中国之间就联合国改革各个方面采取后续行动实现较高水平的协调和行动表示满意，这使其成为主要行为者，同时促进了发展中国家利益的提高，各位部长呼吁在这方面进一步合作和协调，包括通过联合协调委员会在共同关注的相关领域发挥作用。", "70. 根据并遵循上述原则立场，并确认有必要促进、捍卫和维护这些立场，各位部长同意采取以下措施，其中包括：", "1. 在改革进程中促进发展中国家的关切和利益问题，确保改革取得成功成果，促进和保护《宪章》中所规定的大会、经社理事会和安全理事会的完整性和各自的职权；", "2. 反对寻求以下目标的提议：(a) 改变联合国民主和政府间性质及其监督和监测进程，包括任何寻求破坏作为负责行政和预算问题的主要委员会的大会第五委员会的作用的提议；(b) 对预算规模实施人为限制；(c) 从现有资源中资助更多的活动；或(d) 重新定义《宪章》规定的联合国主要机构在与预算有关的问题上的职能和职权；", "3. 积极参与各种协商，并致力于特别是通过确保执行联合国有关决定和决议实现：(a) 鉴于大会作为联合国主要的审议、决策和最具代表性的机构的主要作用和立场，重振大会的工作；(b) 加强经社理事作为经济和社会发展问题协调、政策审查、政策对话和建议的主要机构的作用，并监测各种发展方案的执行情况；(c) 使安全理事会民主化，成为维持国际和平与安全的有效论坛；以及(d) 通过建立明确和可执行的问责框架，改革秘书处及其管理，以确保在秘书处各级以及从秘书处到会员国都有效执行所有任务，并提供最高级别的问责和透明度；", "4. 加强充分实现联合国各次主要会议和首脑会议在经济、社会和相关领域中成果所需的全球发展伙伴关系；", "5. 反对将联合国改革等同于赋予安全理事会以更大的权利的倾向，并铭记必须在联合国各主要机构的职权之间保持平衡；", "6. 按照联合国有关决议，包括改进监测其有效执行的机制，确保及时向联合国提供充分执行已获授权的方案和活动所需的充足资源；", "6. 与77国集团加中国紧密合作，促进额外资源的分配，以进一步增强联合国的发展支柱；", "7. 对尚未得到大会审议和采取行动的所有提议，以及那些正在执行的提议保持紧密的政府间监督和审查；以及", "8. 维护由不结盟运动和77国集团加中国通过国际刑事法院就联合国改革各个方面采取后续行动所实现的宗旨和行动的统一性，以使发展中国家的利益和关切在该进程的最后成果中能够得到适当体现。", "B. 联合国主要机构之间的关系", "71. 各位部长强调，联合国各会员国必须充分尊重每一个联合国主要机构，特别是大会的职权，并在其各自基于《宪章》的职权内保持这些主要机构的平衡。他们强调，安全理事会必须充分遵守《宪章》的所有条款，以及大会的各项决议，其中阐明了安理会与大会以及其他主要机构之间的联系。在此背景之下，各位部长确认，《宪章》第二十四条不一定赋予了安全理事会处理属于大会和经社理事会职权范围内问题的权限，包括在规则制定、立法、行政和预算问题领域的权限以及规定定义的权限，同时铭记，大会的主要任务是促进国际法之逐渐发展与编纂。[15] 各位部长表示严重关切安理会日益而持续地侵犯明显属于联合国其他主要机构及其附属机构职权的问题。他们进一步强调，各主要机构之间的紧密合作与协调对于使联合国保持相关性以及有能力应对现有、新的和新出现的威胁和挑战而言不可或缺。", "72. 各位部长强调，尽管根据《联合国宪章》第二十四条第一项，各会员国将维持国际和平与安全之主要责任，授予安全理事会，并同意安全理事会于履行此项责任下之职务时，即系代表各会员国。在此背景之下，他们进一步强调，安理会应按照《联合国宪章》第二十四条第三项，安全理事会应向大会报告并对大会负责。", "73. 各位部长重申其关切安全理事会通过处理通常属于大会和经社理事会管辖权的问题持续侵占大会和经社理事会的职权，并试图进入属于大会职权范围的规则制定、行政和预算问题以及确定定义领域。", "74. 根据并遵循上述原则立场，并确认有必要促进、捍卫和维护这些立场，各位部长将继续采取以下措施，其中包括：", "1. 敦促各国维护《联合国宪章》中有关大会职权条款的绝对重要性及对其予以充分尊重，呼吁大会、经社理事会和安全理事会主席就其各自所代表的主要机构的议程和工作方案举行定期讨论和协调，以相辅相成地增进这些机构之间的一致性和互补性，尊重彼此的任务，以促进相互理解。各机构所代表的成员国秉承善意赋予了这些机构以信任和信心；", "2. 欢迎安理会7月主席与联合国各会员国举行非正式会议讨论编写安全理事会年度报告的问题，包括与越南社会主义共和国、乌干达和尼日利亚分别于2008年、2009年和2010年举行会议，这是朝前迈出的一步，呼吁安全理事会未来7月的主席与联合国更广泛的会员国之间进行更多的定期互动，这可帮助提高这种报告的质量；", "3. 呼吁安全理事会向大会提交更加全面、解释性和分析性的年度报告，评估安理会的工作，包括安理会未能采取行动的情况，以及其成员在审议安理会所审议的议程项目期间表达的观点。此外还呼吁安全理事会拟订通过不同成果的条件，无论是决议、主席声明、新闻谈话还是新闻稿；", "4. 呼吁安全理事会按照《联合国宪章》第十五条第一项和第二十四条第三项提交特别报告，供大会审议；", "5. 呼吁安全理事会确保其月度评估全面而富于分析性，并及时发布。大会可考虑提出制定这种评估的参数；", "6. 呼吁安全理事会按照《宪章》第十一条第二项，充分考虑大会关于国际和平与安全事项的建议；以及", "7. 反对并停止将大会或经社理事会议程下的事项转至安全理事会，以及安理会侵占大会职权的企图。", "C. 大会工作的振兴", "75. 各位部长重申并强调不结盟运动关于振兴大会工作的原则性立场的有效性和相关性，内容如下：", "75.1 大会作为联合国主要的审议、决策和代表性机构包括在有关国际和平与安全的问题中的作用和权利，[16] 政府间和民主性质，及其附属机构的作用和职权，直接促进了《联合国宪章》的宗旨和原则以及联合国的目标，必须得到尊重。联合国作为联合国主要监督机构，包括监督维持和平行动管理和采购的特权也必须得到尊重；以及", "75.2 大会工作的振兴是联合国全面改革的一个关键组成部分，它必须遵照民主、透明和问责的原则，并通过不限成员名额和包容广泛的协商加以实现，其目标应当是继续加强大会作为联合国主要审议、决策和代表性机构的作用和立场，同时铭记，大会程序和工作方法的改进只是朝着大会更加实质性的进展和重振所迈出的第一步；恢复和增强大会的作用和权利，包括在《宪章》规定的维护国际和平与安全方面，除其他外，充分尊重其职权并加强其与其他主要机构，特别是安全理事会的关系和协调。", "76. 根据并遵循上述原则立场，并确认有必要促进、捍卫和维护这些立场，各位部长同意采取以下措施，其中包括：", "1. 支持所有旨在加强大会中心作用和权利的进行中和持续的努力，同时考虑到相关性和效率的标准；反对任何寻求挑战大会作为联合国主要的审议、决策和代表性机构的主要作用和权利的改革提议；反对任何寻求或可能导致破坏或最小化大会的成就、削弱其当前作用和职能或质疑其相关性和公信力的方法；", "2. 强调执行以往所有关于振兴大会的工作的决议以及继续切实执行这些决议的后续工作的重要性；", "3. 呼吁联合国各会员国重申其承诺和政治意愿，在非选择性和非歧视性基础上执行大会各项决定和决议，因为未能这么做是很多未解决问题的根源所在；", "4. 按照大会有关决议，确保向联合国提供充分执行所有已获授权的方案和活动所需的资源；", "5. 重申大会的作用和权利，包括《联合国宪章》第十、十一、十二、十三、十四和三十五条中所规定的有关国际和平与安全的问题的作用和权利，并酌情运用大会议事规则第7、8、9和10条所列的程序，使大会能够开展迅速而紧急的行动，同时铭记，按照《宪章》第二十四条，安全理事会的主要责任是维持国际和平与安全；", "6. 各位部长重申了大会在维持国际和平与安全方面的作用，并表示严重关切安全理事会未能解决一些涉及大屠杀、危害人类罪、战争罪或交战各方停火的案件，从而未能履行其在这一方面的主要责任；", "7. 各位部长强调，在安全理事会未能履行其维持国际和平与安全这一主要责任的情况下，大会应按照《宪章》采取适当措施，以解决这一问题。对此，各位部长回顾了在第14次不结盟运动首脑会议上通过的决定，授权不结盟运动各成员国驻纽约联合国的代表就此问题拟订适当的决议草案，并提交至大会；", "7. 促进并维护大会在确定联合国优先事项和审议所有预算和行政问题和改革问题中的作用和任务授权，包括其对分配和再分配财政和人力资源的绝对权利，以及按照《宪章》和大会决议任命秘书处高级官员的权利，方法是，除其他外，通过确保联合国各会员国充分遵守这些决议；", "8. 确保大会依然是对联合国所有附属机构的工作进行审查的主要机构。", "9. 查明简化联合一致共策和平程序的措施，使大会能够采取迅速紧急的行动，并确认其在有关《宪章》所列的国际和平与安全问题上的作用；", "10. 按照《联合国宪章》第九十七条的规定，加强大会在甄选联合国秘书长中的作用；", "11. 强调必须通过从联合国经常预算中分配充足的人力和财力资源来扩大和加强大会主席办公室的作用，并为大会主席提供适当的协议和保安服务以及适足的办公空间，以便大会主席以符合其办公室尊严和形象的方式履行其职责；以及", "12. 各位部长赞赏在阿尔及利亚的主持下，不结盟运动大会振兴工作组进行中的工作，协调不结盟运动共同关心的问题。他们鼓励所有的不结盟运动代表团继续积极参与工作组，以促进并实现不结盟运动的各项目标。", "D. 甄选和任命联合国秘书长", "77. 各位部长强调了大会在甄选和任命联合国秘书长过程中的主要作用，表示支持旨在巩固并加强大会在这一方面作用的努力，并商定所有的不结盟国家都应积极参与这些努力。", "78. 各位部长重申秘书长的甄选和任命过程必须更加透明和更具包容性。在这方面，他们提到1946年1月关于秘书长的任命条件的第11(1)号决议已经过期，并强调大会应预先开展调查和讨论，投票决定秘书长的任命事宜，在此背景之下，各位部长呼吁大会依据第51/241、第60/286和第64/301号决议解决秘书长的提名和任命问题。", "79. 在回顾了《联合国宪章》第九十七条所载的主要机构的作用的同时，各位部长呼吁大会主席与各会员国开展协商，以查明会员国核可的可能候选人，在将结果告知所有会员国之后，这些结果将被转递至安全理事会。", "80. 在此背景之下，各位部长商定，正式呈交秘书长职位候选人应当留出充足的时间与大会各会员国和安全理事会理事国进行互动，并要求在甄选秘书长的过程中，议员全球行动联盟召集一次大会会议，以便与所有的候选人进行意见交流和对话。", "81. 各位部长认可了联合检查组的报告(JIU/REP/2009/8)，其中提到与参加联合国系统共同制度各组织行政首长职位竞选的候选人举行听证/会议，以改进其选举进程，从而增强选举进程的透明度和公信力，使不同国籍的人士都能参与选举进程。", "E. 安全理事会席位公平分配和成员数目增加问题及其他有关安全理事会的事项", "82. 各位部长重申并强调了不结盟运动关于安全理事会席位公平分配和成员数目增加问题及其他有关安全理事会的事项，特别是不结盟运动在第11、12、13、14和15次首脑会议上通过的并列入不结盟运动立场和谈判文件中的指示，以及各次部长级会议的决定的原则立场的有效性和相关性，内容如下：", "1. 不结盟运动在赞赏地注意到所开展的努力的同时，关切地注意到大会非正式全体会议依据大会第62/557、63/565和64/568号决议举行的关于安全理事会席位公平分配和成员数目增加问题以及其他有关安理会的事项的政府间讨论缺乏具体成果，并注意到谈判显示虽然出现了观念上的统一，但主要分歧依然存在，虽然在改进安理会工作方式方面取得一定进展，但连联合国普通会员国的最低期望都不能满足，因此仍有很大的改进空间；", "2. 在此背景之下，不结盟运动重申大会第62/557号决定是而且将继续是关于安理会改革的政府间谈判的基础；", "3. 安全理事会改革应当全面，处理与成员、区域代表性、安理会议程、安理会工作方法和决策进程，包括否决问题有关的所有实质性问题，并最有可能获得各成员国的政治接受；", "4. 近年来，安全理事会在一些情况下威胁或授权执行行动过快，却在其他一些情况下保持缄默或并不活跃。此外，安理会在处理那些不一定对国际和平与安全构成直接威胁的问题时越来越多地诉诸《宪章》第七章，将《宪章》作为保护伞。对这些趋势的仔细审查表明，安理会本可以选择备选条款以更妥善地应对特殊情况。不应过度和过快地使用第七章，而应努力充分利用第六章和第八章条款，以和平解决争端。第七章应作为最后手段予以援引。遗憾的是，在一些情况下，在其他选择办法还没有全部使用时，就过快地使用第四十一和四十二条规定；", "5. 安全理事会施加的制裁仍然是不结盟国家的一个严重关切。根据《联合国宪章》，只有在《宪章》第六章下的所有和平解决争端手段全部用尽并彻底审议了此种制裁的短期和长期影响之后才可以考虑实施制裁。制裁是一种笨拙的工具，使用制裁会引发基本的民族问题，比如使目标国家的弱势群体蒙受苦难是否是施加压力的合法手段。制裁的目的并不是惩罚，或从普通民众榨取报偿。在这方面，应当对制裁制度的目的进行明确定义，同时，制裁应当在合理合法的基础上在特定的时间期限内进行，并在目标达到之后立即解除。施加制裁的国家或一方所要求的条件应当明确定义，并进行定期审查。按照《宪章》，制裁只能在国际和平与安全受到威胁或出现侵略行为时才可施加，不适用于在只违反国际法、规范或标准情况下进行“预防性”制裁。只要相关目标国的人口没有直接或间接地受害，定点制裁或许是一个更好的备选办法；", "6. 安全理事会在其所有的活动、方法和程序中都应遵守透明、公开和一致性这几个基本要素。遗憾的是，安理会在无数场合都忽略了这些重要要素。这些情况包括选择性通知计划外公开辩论、不愿就一些十分重要的问题进行公开辩论、一再限制参与一些公开辩论以及安理会理事国和非理事国之间的歧视，特别是关于公开辩论期间发言的排序和时间限制、未能向大会提交《宪章》第二十四条所要求的特别报告、提交的年度报告仍然缺乏充足的信息和分析性内容，并缺少安全理事会主席拟订月度评估所需的最少参数。安理会必须遵守《宪章》第三十一条的规定，其中允许任何非安理会理事国参与对其受到影响的问题的讨论。应充分遵守安理会临时议事规则第48条。闭门会议和非正式协商应当被减至最少，除非必须进行；", "7. 安全理事会的改革应当尽早、全面、透明和平衡，并且不应人为地设置最后期限。应当确保安理会的议程客观、合理、非选择性和非任意地反映发展中国家和发达国家的需求和利益；", "8. 作为负责维持国际和平与安全的主要机构，安理会的扩大及其工作方法的改革应使其更加民主、更具代表性、更加负责和更加有效；", "9. 安全理事会议事规则60多年来一直是临时的，应当正式化，以改进其透明度和问责；", "10. 各位部长承认，关于非洲在安全理事会的代表性，历史上一直是不公平的，并表示支持增加和扩大非洲在改革后安全理事会中的代表性。各位部长注意到《埃祖尔韦尼共识》和《苏尔特宣言》中所体现的非洲共同立场；", "11. 各位部长更新了对常驻纽约代表的指示，以继续发展不结盟运动关于安全理事会改革的立场要点，同时考虑到各成员国和集团的所有选择办法和观点，并向第15次不结盟运动首脑会议提交综合报告。", "83. 根据并遵循上述原则立场，并确认有必要促进、捍卫和维护这些立场，各位部长同意采取以下措施，其中包括：", "1. 呼吁安理会按照《联合国宪章》第三十一和三十二条，增加公开会议的次数，这些会议应当提供实实在在的机会，考虑到联合国更广泛会员国的观点和贡献，特别是那些安理会正对其事务进行讨论的非安理会理事国的观点和贡献；", "2. 呼吁安全理事会允许秘书长和联合国秘书处特使或特别代表在公开会议上做情况介绍，特殊情况除外；", "3. 呼吁安全理事会进一步加强其与联合国秘书处和部队派遣国之间的关系，包括通过持续、定期和及时的互动。在审议变动、延长或完成特派团任务时或者在当地局势急剧恶化的情况下，都应该在起草任务授权及任务执行阶段与部队派遣国举行会议。在此背景之下，安全理事会维持和平行动工作组应当让部队派遣国更加频繁、密集地参与审议，特别是在特派团规划的最早期阶段；", "83.4 呼吁安全理事会维护并尊重《宪章》与其职权相关方面的至高重要性，并再次强调，安全理事会就任一联合国会员国局势或任何不对国际和平与安全构成威胁的任何问题发起正式或非正式讨论的决定均属违反《宪章》第二十四条；", "5. 呼吁安理会按照《联合国宪章》的文字和精神建立其附属机构，而这些机构应当向联合国一般会员国提供关于其活动的充足而及时的信息；", "6. 拒绝任何利用安全理事会推行国家政治议程的企图，并强调安理会工作中非选择性和公正性的必要性，以及安理会必须严格按照会员国遵照《联合国宪章》赋予的职权行事；", "7. 呼吁安理会不要诉诸《宪章》第七章，将其作为处理不一定对国际和平和安全构成威胁的问题的保护伞，并酌情充分运用其他相关章节的条款，包括第六章和第八章，必要时援引第七章作为最后手段；", "8. 反对安全理事会打着实现一个或几个国家政治目标的幌子或以此为目标，而不是为了实现国际社会的总体利益，企图对任何国家施加或延长制裁；以及", "9. 敦促属于安全理事会理事国的不结盟国家，[17] 在其安理会理事国任期内，必要时促进和维护上述各立场和目标，为此，尽管满意地注意到最近这方面的积极步骤，但强调必须巩固安理会内的不结盟运动核心小组，主要目标是协调和维护不结盟运动在安全理事会的立场，并呼吁核心小组各成员及时提供情况介绍，并与不结盟国家紧密磋商，特别是那些安理会正对其利益和关切进行审议的国家，以及随时向不结盟运动通报所有相关发展情况和安理会积极处理的事项。", "F. 加强经济及社会理事会(经社理事会)", "84. 各位部长欢迎通过大会第61/16号决议，该决议加强了经社理事会作为促进国际经济合作、协调、政策审查、政策对话和拟订关于经济和社会发展问题的建议以及充分实施在联合国各次主要会议和首脑会议上商定的经济、社会及相关领域的国际发展目标，包括千年发展目标的主要机构的作用，并表示他们决定并致力于加大为实现这一目标所做的努力。他们特别欢迎经社理事会在对国际经济和发展政策及其对发展的影响经常开展定期审查和评估中的作用，呼吁充分发挥这一作用。各位部长强调审查大会第61/16号决议执行情况的重要意义，目的是通过依靠已启动的改革、巩固已取得的成绩和解决新出现的挑战来进一步加强经社理事会。", "G. 人权理事会", "85. 各位部长强调，人权理事会应当同等对待公民和政治权利与经济、社会和文化权利以及发展权。他们进一步强调，人权理事会在开展其工作时不应允许采取对抗办法，滥用人权以满足政治目的，出于一些无关考虑和采用双重标准，选择性地针对个别国家，而应当遵守《联合国宪章》、国际法和联合国有关决议。", "86. 各位部长强调，理事会及其工作方法的指导原则应当是普遍性、透明性、公正性、客观性和非选择性。按照《维也纳宣言和行动纲领》，理事会在履行其职责时应铭记国家和区域的特征，以及各成员国的各种历史、文化和宗教背景。", "87. 各位部长强调了在促进和保护所有人权和基本自由方面实施建设性办法的重要性，在这方面，他们敦促人权理事会[18] 将重点放在建设性国际对话与合作、能力建设和技术援助上，以确保实现所有人权和基本自由，特别是发展权。", "88. 各位部长重申了对大会2007年12月22日第62/219号决议的承诺，核可人权理事会的决定，通过题为“人权理事会体制建设”的第5/1号决议和题为“人权理事会特别程序任务执行人行为守则”的第5/2号决议，包括其附件和附录。", "89. 各位部长表示满意日内瓦分会在当前的人权理事会工作和职能审查进程中所发挥的积极作用，除其他外，提交了不结盟运动关于审查该机构工作和职能的立场文件，以确保不结盟运动的立场得以在理事会即将提交大会审议的报告中有所体现。在这方面，各位部长呼吁不结盟运动成员国携手合作，积极参与，以期在即将于2011年之前在大会开展的人权理事会审查进程中介绍并维护不结盟运动的立场。", "90. 在这方面，各位部长强调纽约与日内瓦分会在审查时必须进行协调，并表示他们赞赏不结盟运动成员国代表作为该进程的调解人和共同调解人以个人身份发挥的作用。", "91. 各位部长重申，依据大会第60/251号决议，大会在纽约对人权理事会的地位进行的审议，应当以理事会提交大会的报告为基础，该报告中载有关于日内瓦进行的工作和职能审查的结果和建议。", "92. 各位部长还重申纽约和日内瓦的审查进程应当具有包容性和透明度，这些进程旨在对理事会在日内瓦的工作和职能进行审查，并审查理事会在纽约的地位，以便促进和巩固合作办法和建设性对话，提高其工作效率并改善与大会的关系。各位部长进一步重申，审查进程不能以改革理事会为目的，而应侧重于采取必要的调整措施，改进理事会的工作和职能。审查成果应与大会第60/251号决议保持一致，并与一揽子体制建设相符。因此，与改革理事会有关的问题，例如理事会的人员构成、成员地域分配、成员标准，都不属于日内瓦和纽约的审查进程的任务规定。", "93. 各位部长重申有必要保护自人权理事会建立以来取得的积极成果，包括其一揽子体制建设。在这方面，各位部长重申所有提案和倡议，包括在人权理事会审查的背景下，都应当尊重在审查人权状况时的非选择性、非政治化、客观和公正原则，以避免出现困扰了之前的人权委员会的各种问题。", "94. 各位部长强调，必须本着大会第48/141号决议的精神，在人权理事会和人权事务高级专员办事处之间发展有效的工作关系。他们进一步强调，人权理事会作为人权问题的专门政府间机构，应当在审查人权事务高级专员办事处工作方面发挥监督作用，包括办事处在国家参与下的各种活动和建立其外地办事处。在这方面，他们欢迎人权理事会第十五届会议通过的主席声明(PRST 15/2)。", "95. 各位部长强调人权理事会作为联合国负责审查各国人权状况的机构在基于合作和建设性对话的普遍定期审查中的作用。各位部长对联合国大会第三委员会持续有选择地通过针对具体国家的决议的做法表示深切关注，这种做法是将人权用于政治目的，违反了在解决人权问题时应遵守的普遍性、客观性和非选择性原则，破坏了合作这一有效促进和保护所有公认的所有人人权的重要工具。", "96. 各位部长重申必须促使第三委员会的工作与人权理事会的工作之间更加协调一致和互补，并避免双方活动不必要的重复和重叠，同时在它们之间创建用于处理人权状况的建设性的工作关系。", "97. 各位部长强调普遍定期审查是在各国无区别地审查国家一级的人权问题的主要政府间机制。", "98. 各位部长忆及大会第60/251号决议将人权理事会确立为大会的附属机构，并在这方面强调第三委员会对理事会报告的一般性辩论和审议的重要意义。", "99. 各位部长重申必须确保落实作为重视行动的合作机制的人权理事会的普遍定期审查，该审查以客观、可靠的信息和相互对话为基础，所有接受审查的国家都充分参与，审查是以公正、透明、非选择性、建设性、非对抗性和非政治化的方式开展的。他们进一步敦促所有不结盟运动成员国继续协同努力，为接受审查的不结盟国家成员国提供支持。", "100. 各位部长重申，不结盟运动应继续密切协调其关于以下重点领域的立场：", "(a) 促进人权理事会的国际合作和建设性对话，防止出现双重标准、选择性和政治操纵，这些都使人权委员会名誉受损；", "(b) 继续努力加强并酌情改进各人权机制的工作，包括条约机构、特别程序、专家机构和保密程序，同时铭记，在履行其任务时，任务执行人应当充分尊重和严格遵守人权理事会2007年6月18日第5/2号决议中所载并在2009年6月18日第11/11号决议中重申的《人权理事会特别程序任务执行人行为守则》，同时必须保护所有这些机制和机构免遭政治化和双重标准，以增进系统的有效性；", "(c) 鼓励介绍来自不结盟运动国家的专家作为特别程序任务执行人的候选人；", "(d) 按照大会第48/141、60/251和62/219号决议，酌情发展人权理事会与联合国系统其他实体的关系；", "(e) 确定理事会向联合国大会报告的程序，目的是以大会附属机构的身份普遍核可其所有的方案和活动。在这方面，在不结盟运动成员国之间发起了讨论，以探索关于这一问题的共同点；", "(f) 鼓励积极参与谈判进程，同时在人权理事会的审议进程中促进和捍卫不结盟运动的共同立场；", "(g) 反对通过驳回与理事会的人员构成、成员地域分配、成员标准和当前议程有关的提案利用审查进程改革人权理事会的企图；", "(h) 确保人权理事会的审查进程有助于提高理事会的效率，以便理事会能够基于合作和非对抗原则发挥其法定作用，促进所有人权和所有人的基本自由；", "(i) 保留普遍定期审议作为在平等基础上审查所有国家的国家一级人权状况的唯一机制；", "(j) 反对建立任何附加的针对具体国家的工具，因为这将导致在处理人权问题时的政治化、双重标准和选择性；", "(k) 确保人权理事会开展的普遍定期审查是一个基于互动对话的注重成果的合作机制，接受审查的国家充分参与的机制，并考虑其能力建设需要，这样的机制应补充而不是复制条约机构的工作，同时铭记，在审议人权问题时必须消除选择性、双重标准和政治化。应成员国的要求，审查应加强其履行促进和保护人权义务的能力。不应将审查用作胁迫各国的工具，使他们屈从于带有政治动机的针对具体国家的决议；", "(1)

各位部长重申联合国裁军审议委员会(裁审会)作为联合国多边裁军制度内唯一的专门审议机构的重要性和相关性。他们继续充分支持裁审会的工作，并表示遗憾，由于某些核武器国家缺少政治意愿和灵活的立场，裁审会未能在2008年4月结束的三年周期实质性会议期间就其两项议程项目的建议达成一致意见，尽管不结盟运动在整个审议过程中发挥了建设性的作用并提出了具体的建议，特别是在关于“实现核裁军和不扩散核武器建议”的工作组。各位部长回顾了由不结盟运动在2009年和2010年实质性会议期间提出的建议，呼吁联合国各会员国表现出必要的政治意愿和灵活性，以便在裁审会2011年届会上就其建议达成一致意见。", "142. 各位部长重申了裁军谈判会议作为关于裁军问题的唯一多边谈判机构的重要性，并重申，他们呼吁裁军谈判会议商定一个平衡而全面的工作方案，除其他外，尽快建立一个关于核裁军的特设委员会，并将其列为最高优先事项。他们强调，必须开启关于具有具体时限的全面销毁核武器的分阶段方案的谈判，包括一份《核武器公约》。他们重申了国际法院协商一致结论的重要性，即有义务在严格而有效的国际监督下，诚意地开展谈判，并达成关于各方面核裁军的结论。", "143. 各位部长注意到裁军谈判会议于2009年5月29日通过的2009年届会工作方案没有得到执行。他们表示赞赏裁军谈判会议成员国和主席国，特别是阿尔及利亚在这方面所做的不懈努力，并呼吁裁军谈判会议立即协商一致地商定平衡而全面的工作方案。各位部长商定继续协调日内瓦的不结盟运动分会的努力。", "144. 各位部长注意到2010年9月24日举行的关于裁军谈判会议工作振兴和推动多边裁军谈判的高级别会议，不结盟运动在会议上陈述了自己的立场，其立场在今后仍然有效。各位部长相信任何可能的后续工作都应当具有包容性并由会员国推动，而且应当加强联合国大会第一届专门讨论裁军问题的特别会议授权的裁军谈判会议的作用和工作以及旨在实现核裁军的努力。", "145. 各位部长欢迎不结盟运动成员国为推进核裁军目标所做的努力。在这方面，他们注意到伊朗伊斯兰共和国于2010年4月17日至18日在德黑兰召开了题为“核能为大家、禁止核武器”的国际裁军和不扩散会议。", "146. 各位部长重申支持召开联合国大会第四届专门讨论裁军问题的特别会议，并表示他们严重关切，尽管多年来一直在这方面努力，但联合国大会第四届专门讨论裁军问题的特别会议仍然未能召开。在此背景之下，他们欢迎不结盟运动从联合国大会第65/66号决议“召开联合国大会第四届专门讨论裁军问题的特别会议”中获得的鼎力支持，他们敦促联合国秘书长提供所有必要的技术、财务和人类资源以执行这一决议。他们强调积极参与该决议建立的不限成员名额工作组以审议并达成关于各项目标和议程的决议的重要意义，包括可能建立联合国大会第四届专门讨论裁军问题的特别会议筹备委员会。", "147. 各位部长再次呼吁召开国际会议，以尽早查明消除核威胁的方法和手段，目的在于达成一项有具体时限的关于全面销毁核武器的分阶段方案的协定，以禁止发展、生产、购置、试验、储存、转移、使用和威胁使用核武器，并规定销毁核武器。", "148. 各位部长重申，全面销毁核武器是打击使用或威胁使用核武器的唯一绝对保障，并进一步重申，核武器国家应向非核武器国家保证不使用或威胁使用核武器。在全面销毁核武器之前，他们重申，必须作为高度优先事项达成一项关于对非核武器国家的安全保证的普遍、无条件和具有法律约束力文书。他们注意到，自1998年在裁军谈判会议上建立一个特设委员会以就面向所有非核武器国家的普遍、无条件和具有法律约束力的安全保证进行谈判以来，一直没有取得进展。他们表示关切的是，尽管非核武器国家长期以来一直请求得到具有法律约束力的保证，但在这方面没有取得实质性进展。各位部长进一步强调就核安全账户缔结一份普遍、无条件和具有法律约束力的文书具有重要的积极安全影响。", "149. 各位部长强调了普遍加入《全面禁止试验条约》(《全面禁试条约》)的重要性，这包括所有核武器国家，这些国家尤其应当为推进核裁军进程做出贡献。他们重申，所有签署国，特别是核武器国家，都必须继续致力于核裁军，只有这样，才能充分实现《条约》的各项目标。", "150. 各位部长重申核武器国家在所有与履行其核裁军义务有关的措施中落实透明、不可变更和可核查原则的重要意义。", "151. 各位部长注意到俄罗斯联邦与美国之间签署了新的《削减和限制进攻性战略武器条约》，并强调指出，减少部署和降低备战状况，不能替代不可逆转地裁减和彻底消除核武器。在此背景之下，他们吁请美国和俄罗斯联邦对此类裁减适用透明、不可逆转和可核查原则，并进一步削减核武库，包括弹头和运载系统，从而推动履行其核裁军义务并促进尽早实现一个无核武器的世界。", "152. 各位部长商定，核武器国家采取具体行动的需求仍然日益增加而且最为紧迫，即这些国家依据其多边商定的承诺紧急采取进一步的实质性具体措施，在明确的时限内实现完成核裁军的目标。", "153. 各位部长依然关切研制和部署反弹道导弹防御系统所造成的负面影响以及外层空间武器化带来的威胁，特别是更加严重地破坏了有利于促进裁军和加强国际安全的国际氛围。废止《反弹道导弹条约》给战略稳定和防止外层空间军备竞赛带来了新的挑战。他们始终严重关切部署战略导弹防御系统的负面安全后果，即可能引起军备竞赛并导致进一步研制先进的导弹系统和增加核武器数量。", "154. 各位部长确认，为和平目的开发和利用外层空间符合全人类的共同利益，并着重指出，防止外层空间军备竞赛，包括禁止在外层空间部署或使用武器，将会避免一个国际和平与安全的严重威胁。他们进一步强调，至关重要的是应严格遵守现行的外层空间军备管制和裁军协定，包括双边协定，以及外层空间利用方面的现行法律制度。他们还再次强调急需在裁谈会着手进行实质性工作，特别是防止外层空间出现军备竞赛。同时注意到2008年2月12日提交给裁军谈判会议的关于《防止在外空放置武器、对外空物体使用或威胁使用武力条约》草案的俄中联合倡议。他们指出该倡议有利于裁谈会的工作，并且为今后旨在通过具有约束力的国际文书的讨论奠定了良好基础。", "155. 各位部长依然认为，有必要通过多边谈判，达成一项普遍、全面、透明和不歧视的办法，处理导弹问题的各个方面，促进国际和平与安全。他们表示支持联合国继续做出努力，进一步探讨导弹问题的各个方面。在这方面，他们强调和平使用空间技术，包括空间运载火箭技术，能够推动人类进步，诸如电信业务及自然灾害方面的数据收集工作。他们还强调需要在联合国大会议程中列入导弹问题的各个方面，并对根据大会第59/67号决议设立的政府专家组在2008年成功开展各项工作以及向联合国大会第六十三届会议提交报告表示欢迎。在针对大规模毁灭性武器运载系统建立这种普遍机制之前，应在一个所有国家都能平等参加的论坛中开展包括有关各方的谈判工作，在此基础上采取行动，持续而全面地有效解决这些令人关切的问题。他们强调，各国采取的办法考虑到区域和全球安全关切对于全面解决导弹问题至关重要。", "156. 各位部长认为，按照《特拉特洛尔科条约》、《拉罗通加条约》、《曼谷条约》、《佩林达巴条约》和《中亚无核武器区条约》建立无核武器区及确立蒙古国的无核武器地位是加强全球核裁军和核不扩散的积极步骤和重要措施。他们欢迎《中亚无核武器区条约》于2009年3月21日生效以及《非洲无核武器区条约》于2009年7月15日生效，这是对加强区域和全球和平与稳定的有效贡献。他们重申，对于无核武器区来说，核武器国家必须无条件地做出保证，不对该地区所有国家使用或威胁使用核武器。他们敦促有关区域各国自由缔结协议，以期根据第一届专门讨论裁军问题的大会特别会议(第一届裁军特别联大)《最后文件》规定及1999年联合国裁军审议委员会通过的原则，在没有建立无核武器区的地区建立新的无核武器区。", "156. 他们回顾2010年4月30日在纽约召开建立无核武器区条约缔约国和签署国及蒙古第二次会议及其成果，并呼吁无核武器区条约缔约国和签署国相互间、其条约机构和其他有关国家之间进一步开展各种方式方法的合作。他们表示支持蒙古将其无核武器地位制度化的政策以及蒙古为巩固和加强这种地位而采取的措施。在这方面，他们欢迎蒙古开始与两个邻国开展会谈，以缔结所需的法律文书，并表示希望尽快达成将无核武器地位制度化的国际文书。", "157. 各位部长申明支持在中东建立无一切大规模毁灭性武器区。为此，作为一项优先步骤，他们重申应根据安全理事会第487(1981)号决议和安全理事会第687(1991)号决议第14段以及协商一致通过的大会相关决议，加速建立中东无核武器区。他们呼吁有关各方尽快采取实际步骤，落实伊朗1974年提出的建立无核武器区的提案，在此之前，他们要求该地区唯一未加入也未宣布打算加入《不扩散核武器条约》(《不扩散条约》)的国家以色列放弃拥有核武器，毫不拖延地加入《不扩散条约》，并根据安全理事会第487(1981)号决议，迅速将其所有核设施置于国际原子能机构(原子能机构)的全面保障监督之下，同时依照不扩散制度的要求开展与核有关的活动。他们要求及早执行原子能机构关于“原子能机构保障监督制度在中东实施情况”的相关决议。他们对以色列获取核能力的情况表示极为关注，因为这对邻国和其他国家的安全构成了持续的严重威胁。他们谴责以色列继续发展和储备核武库。在此背景之下，他们还谴责时任以色列总理2006年12月11日所做的关于以色列拥有核武器的发言。他们敦促继续在原子能机构，包括其大会上审议以色列核能力问题。他们认为，在军事能力持续严重失衡的区域，特别是在一方拥有核武器对邻国和整个区域构成威胁的情况下，不可能实现稳定。他们还欢迎阿拉伯埃及共和国总统提出建立中东无大规模毁灭性武器区的倡议。在此背景之下，他们考虑到了阿拉伯叙利亚共和国代表阿拉伯集团于2003年12月29日向安全理事会提出的建立中东无大规模毁灭性武器区的决议草案。他们强调应在不同的国际论坛采取必要步骤，促进建立无大规模毁灭性武器区。他们还呼吁完全禁止向以色列转让所有与核有关的设备、信息、材料、设施、资源或装置，禁止在核科学和核技术领域向以色列提供援助。在这方面，他们对以色列科学家依然能够进入一个核武器国家的核设施表示严重关注。这种情况有可能对中东安全以及全球不扩散制度的可靠性产生严重的负面影响。", "159. 各位部长重申支持阿拉伯集团为确保原子能机构大会继续审议以色列核能力问题而在维也纳所做的种种努力。", "160. 各位部长强调了不结盟运动在不使用或威胁使用武力来侵犯任何国家的领土完整方面的原则立场。在这方面，他们谴责以色列于2007年9月6日对叙利亚设施实施的袭击，这是对《联合国宪章》的公然侵犯，并欢迎叙利亚在此方面与原子能机构开展合作。", "161. 各位部长强调，在拟订和执行裁军和军备限制协定的过程中必须遵守环境准则。在这方面，他们欢迎不经表决通过了关于该问题的大会第65/53号决议。他们重申，国际裁军论坛在通过谈判达成裁军和军备限制条约及协定时，应充分考虑到有关的环境准则，而且所有国家都应采取行动，充分确保按上述准则执行他们所加入的条约和公约。", "162. 各位部长强调指出，联合国在区域一级开展的活动对增强会员国的稳定与安全至关重要。为了切实增强这种稳定与安全，应保持和振兴现有的三个和平与裁军区域中心。", "163. 《不扩散核武器条约》(《不扩散条约》)缔约国的部长重申了不扩散条约1995年审议和延期大会的一揽子协定以及不扩散条约2000年审议大会的《最后文件》，并认识到《不扩散条约》在核裁军、核不扩散和和平利用核能源方面的重要作用，并认为不扩散条约2010年审议大会的“关于后续行动的结论和建议”体现了在不远的将来能够依靠并进一步加强的结果，以全面解决不结盟运动的优先事项，特别是实现一个无核武器的国家。他们呼吁核武器国家全面和有效地遵守《条约》规定的义务，尤其是在核裁军方面的义务，以及审议大会，尤其是1995年审议和延期大会、2000年审议大会和2010年审议大会的成果。", "165. 《不扩散条约》缔约国的部长强调在不扩散条约审议大会框架内审查条约运行情况的重要性，并在此背景之下强调，虽然不扩散条约2010年审议大会的《最后文件》审议部分中的结论部分被视为是主席的意见而不是协商一致的措辞，但不能认为这为今后开创了先例，不影响审议大会的预审查。", "164. 《不扩散条约》缔约国的部长赞扬由菲律宾的利夫兰·卡瓦克图兰阁下担任2010年不扩散条约审议大会主席，并要求作为《不扩散条约》缔约国的不结盟国家积极参与会议的审议工作。他们强调执行审议大会就核裁军、核不扩散、和平利用核能以及执行1995年中东决议通过的行动计划的重要意义。各位部长关切地注意到，作为《不扩散条约》缔约国的不结盟国家在多个关键优先事项上缺少一致意见，特别是在开始就核武器公约谈判以及开始谈判一项对无核武器国家做出无条件的消极安全保证的具有法律约束力的法律文书。《不扩散条约》的这些缔约国的部长商定在下一次审议进程中继续集体努力推进实现前述不结盟运动的优先事项。", "166. 在此背景之下，《不扩散条约》缔约国的部长欢迎以协商一致方式在不扩散条约2010年审议大会“关于后续行动的结论和建议”中通过关于“中东问题，特别是执行1995年中东问题决议”的详细行动计划。各位部长敦促联合国秘书长和1995年决议的共同提案国在与该区域各国协商之后立即开展必要的筹备工作，以便在2012年召开一次由中东所有国家参加的会议，商讨建立中东无核武器和所有其他大规模毁灭性武器区的问题。他们强调充分执行商定行动计划的各个方面以及相关各方积极地、建设性地参与的重要意义，以便会议能够成功发起区域谈判进程，旨在充分实现1995年决议的各项目标并建立无核武器和所有其他大规模毁灭性武器区。", "167. 《不扩散条约》缔约国的部长在与中东各国密切协商和协调之后，对延迟执行不扩散条约2010年审议大会就执行1995年中东问题决议通过的行动计划所载各项措施表示深切关切。他们强烈敦促联合国秘书长和1995年中东问题决议的三个共同提案国立即开始充分落实中东问题行动计划。他们强调立即任命调解人、指定东道国和确认会议日期的重要性。各位部长要求秘书长执行其召集会议的任务，做出最大努力，以期尽早在即将于2012年5月举行的核不扩散条约2015年审议大会第一次筹备委员会之前召集会议。各位部长进一步强调援用所有必要的财政措施，包括联合国经常预算促进调解人的活动和召集审议大会的重要性。", "168. 《不扩散条约》缔约国的部长重申以色列依据相关国际文书和决定，包括安全理事会第487(1981)号决议执行部分第5段加入《不扩散核武器条约》以及将其所有核设施置于原子能机构全面保障之下的紧迫性和重要性。他们呼吁以色列作为中东唯一的《不扩散条约》非缔约国毫不迟延地作为无核武器国家加入该条约。", "169. 《不扩散条约》缔约国的部长再次呼吁《条约》所有缔约国做出坚决执行《条约》各项规定的承诺，并要求充分落实有关《条约》第六条的13项实际步骤，为执行该条做出系统而循序渐进的努力，特别是，核武器国家应明确承诺彻底销毁其核武库，从而实现核裁军。在彻底销毁核武器之前，他们还回顾了不扩散条约2000年审议大会《最后文件》重申五个核武器国家对《条约》的无核武器缔约国做出具有法律约束力的安全保证，将加强核不扩散制度。他们强调指出了不扩散条约2010年审议大会以协商一致方式商定循序渐进地努力消除核武器的实际步骤；执行不扩散核武器条约1995年缔约国审议和延期大会通过的中东问题决议以及关于对无核武器国家的无条件安全保证的国际文书的决议。", "170. 《不扩散条约》缔约国的部长要求核武器国家在缔结具有法律约束力的安全保证文书之前履行承诺，在任何时候和任何情况下都不对《条约》无核武器缔约国和无核武器区使用或威胁使用核武器。", "171. 各位部长重申，发展中国家应能在不受歧视的情况下，为和平目的研发、生产和利用核能，这是他们不可剥夺的权利。他们继续关切地注意到，现在依然过度限制为和平目的向发展中国家出口材料、设备和技术。他们再次强调指出，解决扩散问题的最佳途径是通过多边谈判，缔结普遍、全面的和非歧视性的协议。不扩散管制安排应该透明，允许所有缔约国参加，并应确保不限制发展中国家为和平目的获得所需要的材料、设备和技术，使其能够继续得到发展。各位部长表示对原子能机构的公正性和专业精神有充分的信心，并坚决反对任何国家违反《原子能机构规约》，将原子能机构的工作政治化，包括将其技术合作方案政治化的企图，以及任何过度施压或干预该机构活动的企图，因为这将降低原子能机构的工作效率和信誉。", "172. 《不扩散条约》缔约国的部长再次强调指出，《条约》的任何规定都不得解释为会影响《条约》所有缔约国行使不可剥夺的权利，在不受歧视的情况下，依照《条约》第一、第二、第三条和第四条，为和平目的研发、生产和利用核能。他们着重指出，此项权利是《条约》的基本目标之一。在这方面，他们确认，各国在和平利用核能领域做出的选择和决定应受到尊重，不应损害其和平利用核能的政策或国际合作协定和安排以及其核燃料循环政策。", "173. 各位部长特别强调指出，发达国家有责任促进发展中国家对核能的合理需要得到满足，允许发展中国家为和平目的充分参与转让核设备、核材料及核科学和技术信息，以期获得最大利益，并将可持续发展的相关要素纳入其各项活动。", "174. 各位部长注意到原子能机构理事会2010年以投票方式通过了两项关于核燃料循环多边解决方案的提案。他们强调，在对这一复杂敏感的事项做出任何决定之前，应当通过广泛、综合和透明的谈判与磋商来解决这个问题，重点是其技术、法律、政治和经济影响。各位部长强调应当在原子能机构所有成员国都参与的情况下以协商一致方式做出决定，而且原子能机构的任何提案都必须符合其《规约》，并且提案的所有方面都不影响其成员国为和平目的研究、开发和利用核科学的不可剥夺的权利。", "175. 各位部长强调，不结盟运动成员国必须在原子能机构发挥积极作用，而且原子能机构所有成员国都应严格遵守其《规约》。他们着重指出，应避免对原子能机构的活动，特别是其核查工作过度施加任何压力或进行干涉，这会降低原子能机构的工作效率和信誉。他们确认，原子能机构是核查会员国根据各自保障协定履行其义务情况的唯一主管机构。他们还重申，应明确区分会员国根据各自保障协定承担的法定义务与他们自愿做出的承诺，以确保自愿承诺不会转变为法定的保障义务。", "176. 各位部长重申和平核活动的不可侵犯性，认为攻击或威胁攻击和平核设施——正在运营或建设中的设施——对人类和环境构成了极大的威胁，并严重违反国际法、《联合国宪章》的原则和宗旨以及原子能机构的各项规定。他们确认迫切需要通过多边谈判达成一项全面文书，禁止攻击或威胁攻击和平利用核能的核设施。", "177. 各位部长申明，使用放射性材料的设施和放射性废物管理设施应加强辐射安全和保护制度，包括这些材料的安全运输。他们重申，需要加强关于此种物质安全和运输安全的现行国际条例。各位部长注意到原子能机构在这方面做出的努力，包括2011年10月17日至21日在维也纳召开“放射性材料的安全和有保护运输国际会议：下一个五十年——创建安全、有保护和可持续的框架”。他们重申，应采取适当的措施，防止倾倒核废物或放射性废物，并要求有效执行原子能机构《关于放射性废物国际越境转移的业务守则》，以此加强对所有国家的保护，以免在其境内倾倒放射性废物。", "178. 各位部长强调应通过政治和外交途径解决扩散问题，在此方面，应根据国际法、有关公约和《联合国宪章》采取措施和行动，并应为促进国际和平、安全与稳定做出贡献。", "179. 加入《生物和毒素武器公约》的不结盟国家的部长重申，应完全排除将细菌(生物)制剂和毒素用作武器的可能性，坚信这样做违背人类良知。他们确认，尤为重要的是通过多边谈判达成一项具有法律约束力的议定书以及普遍加入《公约》来加强《公约》。他们再次呼吁为和平目的促进国际合作，包括科技交流，并在这方面采取具体行动，例如不结盟国家成员国在第六次审议大会上提交的“关于执行第十条的行动计划”和不结盟国家成员国最近提交的关于《公约》第十条全面执行机制的增补提案的各项行动。他们着重指出加入《公约》的不结盟国家保持密切协调的重要意义，并强调虽然可能会对某些方面进行单独审议，但《生物和毒素武器公约》是一个整体，并且必须要采用平衡而全面的方式来处理与《公约》相互关联的所有问题。", "180. 加入《生物和毒素武器公约》的不结盟国家的部长强调，为了促进其关于《公约》的立场，特别是关于《公约》第十条的立场，不结盟运动缔约国积极参与即将于2011年底举行的生物和毒素武器公约缔约国第七届审议大会非常重要，特别是通过强调必须加强生物科学和技术领域用于和平目的的国际合作、援助和交流。他们还鼓励《生物和毒素武器公约》缔约国按照生物和毒素武器公约缔约国第六届审议大会《最后文件》第54段的要求，提供关于国际援助与合作问题的《生物和毒素武器公约》第十条执行情况的信息。", "181. 《化学武器公约》缔约国的部长请尚未签署或批准《公约》的所有国家尽快予以签署或批准，以实现《公约》的普遍性。他们重申，可通过充分执行来增强《公约》对国际和区域和平与安全所做的积极贡献。各位部长重申在化学活动领域开展国际合作的重要性，因为这促使《公约》不会对此类活动进行限制。他们再次呼吁发达国家为了缔约国的利益促进国际合作，为和平目的转让化学领域的技术、材料和设备，并取消一切有悖《公约》文字和精神的歧视性限制。他们回顾说，通过开展国际合作充分、均衡、有效和非歧视地执行《公约》的各项规定，特别是经济和技术发展方面的规定，是实现其目标和宗旨的关键。他们对某些拥有化学武器的缔约国近期暗示不会履行其关于全面销毁化学武器的最后期限的义务，以及截至2011年1月31日仍有超过36.28%的化学武器未被销毁深表关切，并呼吁声明拥有化学武器的国家要确保充分、全面恪守最后在销毁化学武器方面所延长的期限(2012年4月29日)，以维护《公约》的可信度和统一性。他们强调，销毁化学武器的义务和职责仅与拥有的缔约国相关，并且履行该义务对于实现《公约》目标和宗旨是一个关键。在这方面，他们吁请相关拥有国采取各项必要措施，加快销毁其化学武器库存的速度，以根据《公约》的规定在最后延长的期限前销毁其化学武器。", "182. 《化学武器公约》缔约国的部长重申，执行关于援助和防止使用化学武器的《化学武器公约》第十条可大大有助于应对使用化学武器带来的威胁。他们强调，必须要实现并保持禁止化学武器组织的充分准备状态，以提供及时和所需的援助，防止使用或威胁使用化学武器，包括援助化学武器受害者。", "183. 《化学武器公约》缔约国的部长对化学武器受害者及其家人给予了适当关注，并声明其坚信，国际支助是一项紧急的人道主义需求，可以向所有遭受化学武器的受害者提供特殊护理和援助，《公约》缔约国和禁止化学武器组织应立即着重于满足这些需求，有可能包括通过设立一个国际支助网络。", "184. 各位部长再次谴责2009年以色列对加沙地带发起军事侵略，以及占领国对巴勒斯坦平民地区进行狂轰滥炸，并对所报告的在平民区使用有害且可能致命的燃烧武器，例如白磷表示严重关切。在这方面，他们再次呼吁相关机构根据适当的国际公约和协定彻底调查这起严重事件。", "185. 各位部长对毫无根据地指控某些国家未遵守关于大规模毁灭性武器的文书表示遗憾，并呼吁进行这种指控的文书缔约国遵守文书中规定的程序，为其指控提供必要的证据。他们呼吁有关国际文书的所有缔约国，以透明方式充分履行他们根据这些文书所承担的全部义务。", "186. 各位部长表示满意的是，各国就防止恐怖分子获取大规模毁灭性武器的措施达成了共识。他们欢迎以协商一致方式通过大会题为“防止恐怖分子获取大规模毁灭性武器的措施”的第65/62号决议，并着重指出，应在联合国框架内，通过国际合作消除对人类的这一威胁。他们强调防止恐怖分子获取大规模毁灭性武器的最有效途径是彻底消除这种武器，他们还强调，急需在裁军和不扩散领域取得进展，以帮助维护国际和平与安全，并促进打击恐怖主义的全球努力。他们呼吁所有会员国支持国际社会做出努力，防止恐怖分子获取大规模毁灭性武器及其运载工具。他们还敦促各会员国采取并酌情加强国家措施，防止恐怖分子获取大规模毁灭性武器及其运载工具以及与其生产这类武器有关的材料和技术。", "187. 各位部长注意到安全理事会通过了第1540(2004)、第1673(2006)和第1810(2008)号决议，强调应确保安全理事会采取的任何行动都无损于《联合国宪章》、关于大规模毁灭性武器和有关国际组织的现有多边条约以及大会的作用。他们还告诫安全理事会不要继续利用其权威规定会员国在执行安全理事会决定方面的立法要求。在这方面，各位部长着重指出，对于处理非国家行为体获取大规模毁灭性武器的问题，大会应采取包容性的做法，考虑到所有成员国的意见。", "188. 各位部长铭记现有的大规模毁灭性武器，特别是核武器对人类造成了威胁，强调需要全部消除这些武器，同时还重申需要防止出现新式大规模毁灭性武器，因此其支持有必要对这一局势进行监测，并在需要时开展国际行动。", "189. 各位部长重申，为自卫和安全需要获取、生产、出口、进口和保留常规武器是各国的主权权利。他们对单方面的强制性措施表示关注，强调不应过度限制转让常规武器。", "190. 各位部长认识到，在常规武器的生产、拥有和交易方面，工业化国家与不结盟国家之间存在着严重的不平衡，他们呼吁工业化国家大幅削减常规武器的生产、拥有和交易，以期加强国际和区域的和平与安全。", "191. 各位部长仍然深表关切的是，小武器和轻武器在世界许多地区非法转让、生产和流通，而且过度积累和无节制地扩散。他们认识到，有必要确立和保持对私人拥有小武器的管制。他们呼吁所有国家，特别是主要生产国，确保只向政府或得到政府正式授权的实体提供小武器和轻武器，并实施法律限制和禁令，防止非法买卖小武器和轻武器。他们鼓励各国采取一切举措，调动资源和专门知识，并提供援助，以便更加充分地执行《联合国从各个方面防止、打击和消除小武器和轻武器非法贸易的行动纲领》。", "192.

各位部长要求以色列根据国际人道主义法和联合国所有决议，包括安全理事会的相关决议，立即结束这种非法行为，结束对加沙地带的非法封锁，并立即无条件地开放加沙地带所有的过境点。他们呼吁结束对加沙地带的隔离，确保人员和货物在加沙和外界之间的持续和定期流动，并恢复加沙地带和西岸之间的联系、团结和流动，强调加沙仍然是巴勒斯坦被占领土不可分割的一部分。各位部长强调加沙重建的紧迫性，并呼吁国际社会施加压力，迫使占领国以色列允许所有用于修复遭到破坏和受损的巴勒斯坦财产和基础设施及联合国设施，包括近东救济工程处学校所必需的建筑材料进入。他们还强调必须维持商业流动，包括进出口，以促进加沙地带的生计、商业和工业及其经济活力的恢复。", "233. 各位部长重申，其强烈谴责以色列通过许可证制度和数以百计的检查站，在整个巴勒斯坦被占领土，尤其是在被占领东耶路撒冷及周边地区继续大力推行殖民定居活动，包括没收大片土地、修建和扩大非法定居点、定居“前哨”和定居基础设施、转移更多的以色列定居者、建造隔离墙、拆毁房屋、挖掘、施行专制和种族主义居住管辖以及进行流动限制。他们重申占领国以色列实施的此类政策和措施严重违反了国际法，并公然藐视联合国决议和国际法院2004年7月9日的咨询意见。他们还再次呼吁快速将《联合国关于在巴勒斯坦被占领土修建隔离墙造成的损失登记册》投入运行，并迅速履行其各项任务。", "234. 各位部长强调，和平进程谈判与这种旨在在当地造成非法事实以及获得和事实上吞并更多巴勒斯坦土地并单方面解决问题的非法殖民行为不相容。他们谴责以色列不顾国际社会一致要求其立即停止这种非法行径、履行其法律义务及其路线图义务(冻结所有定居点活动，包括所谓的“自然增长”)继续修建定居点。此外，他们表示深为关切以色列定居、隔离墙和检查站网络导致的广泛的物质、经济和社会破坏，将巴勒斯坦领土分割为好几个独立的区域，其中包括若干筑以围墙的驻扎区；造成东耶路撒冷从领土中分离；成千上万名巴勒斯坦人背井离乡，一些社区被完全摧毁。他们强调所有的以色列非法殖民活动严重破坏了巴勒斯坦被占领土的毗连性、完整性、可行性和统一性，造成在1967年边界基础上实现两国和平解决办法的希望破灭。各位部长得出结论，继续推行非法的以色列定居活动仍然是和平的主要障碍，损害了旨在恢复为结束以色列占领包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦领土的谈判并实现基于两国解决办法的和平的所有努力。", "235. 各位部长要求占领国以色列立即结束其对包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土的所有殖民活动。他们重申包括关于耶路撒冷问题在内的安全理事会和大会的所有相关决议，声明耶路撒冷是巴勒斯坦被占领土不可分割的一部分；要求全面执行这些决议；认为以色列旨在改变耶路撒冷和整个巴勒斯坦被占领土的法律、地域和人口性质和地位的所有措施均无效，不具备法律效力。他们进一步重申，这些非法措施不可能得到国际社会的公认，也不能改变和平进程的职权范围，或否定巴勒斯坦人民不可剥夺的权利。各位部长强调，必须全面停止以色列的所有定居活动，以培育有利于推进和平谈判的氛围，最终按照联合国有关决议、马德里框架(包括以土地换和平)、《阿拉伯和平倡议》和四方路线图实现公平和持久的解决。面对以色列继续违抗法律的行为，各位部长呼吁国际社会，特别是安全理事会采取紧急行动和实际措施，迫使占领国完全停止其在包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土上的定居活动，并遵守其在国际法下的所有义务，包括《日内瓦第四公约》、联合国决议、咨询意见和路线图在这方面规定的义务。各位部长对安全理事会最近因一个常任理事国投否决票而未能履行其在这方面的责任表示遗憾，再次呼吁安全理事会根据《宪章》所赋予的任务授权采取行动，制止以色列的定居活动，并确保以色列遵守其所有的法律义务和承诺，这对促进和平与安全至关重要。",

"237. 各位部长呼吁采取紧急措施，支持巴勒斯坦民族机构的复原和发展，并呼吁不结盟运动继续支持实施总理法耶兹于2009年8月发起的计划“巴勒斯坦：结束占领，建立国家”。他们期待2011年8月在实施第二阶段“向自由进发”之后完成这一计划，从而为巴勒斯坦国的独立铺平道路。在这方面，各位部长热烈欢迎最近一段时间里采取的重要步骤，，包括不结盟运动一些成员国采取的措施，旨在正式承认基于1967年边界的巴勒斯坦国。他们认为这种承认对形成最终实现独立的势头做出了重要贡献。他们表示希望不结盟运动的所有成员国现在能够承认巴勒斯坦，站在最前沿支持巴勒斯坦人民结束以色列占领并落实其人权，包括在其独立的国家实现自决的历史性进程。", "238. 各位部长要求整个国际社会，特别是安全理事会和四方加强努力，解决目前的政治和人道主义危机，以改善当地局势，并帮助恢复和重振和平进程以实现解决，从而保证在指定期限内结束以色列自1967年开始的对包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦领土的占领，建立主权、独立和可行的巴勒斯坦国，以及根据大会第194(III)号决议，公正解决巴勒斯坦难民问题。他们强调这种解决办法对于促进该区域的全面和平与安全至关重要。他们吁请安全理事会积极加入四方推动和平解决，并考虑到《宪章》在维护国际和平与安全方面赋予安全理事会的授权。他们强调《阿拉伯和平倡议》和四方路线图仍然十分重要，并要求充分、如实地执行。", "239. 各位部长注意到，国际社会已经做出了许多努力，以支持巴勒斯坦人民为赢得彻底独立所做的斗争，包括亚非国家通过《亚非新型战略伙伴关系巴勒斯坦能力建设方案》。", "240. 各位部长重申无论在何种情况下对巴勒斯坦问题均有必要恪守国际法，包括《日内瓦第四公约》以及《联合国宪章》的宗旨和原则。他们还重申，联合国对巴勒斯坦问题始终负有责任，直至该问题根据国际法在所有方面得到解决，并强调所有相关的联合国机关、委员会和机构为此目的付诸努力。他们再次呼吁联合国不要鼓励非法行动和顽固不化的态度，应加紧努力根据两国解决办法，公正、全面和持久地和平解决问题，实现巴勒斯坦人民不可剥夺的权利。在这方面，各位部长重申他们决心和平解决以巴冲突，实现巴勒斯坦人民的自决权利，根据1967年边界恢复巴勒斯坦独立国家的主权，并以东耶路撒冷作为其首都。", "241. 根据并遵循上述原则立场，并确认有必要促进、捍卫和维护这些立场，各位部长同意采取以下措施：", "1. 在联合国大会常会开始时或不结盟运动任何其他部长级会议期间举行的协调局部长级会议框架内，必要时根据巴勒斯坦问题的事态发展，继续举行不结盟运动巴勒斯坦问题委员会部长级会议；", "2. 在不结盟运动巴勒斯坦问题部长级代表团与四方成员之间，以及与联合国安全理事会成员保持定期的部长级接触和对话，以期协调和加强不结盟运动在寻求解决巴勒斯坦问题和在整个区域实现持久和平的国际社会努力中的作用；", "3. 继续积极参与涉及巴勒斯坦问题的联合国安全理事会和大会的各次会议，包括通过安理会内的不结盟运动核心小组发挥积极作用；", "4. 举行一次民间社会并行论坛，最好是在联合国房地内，旨在就这个问题动员国际舆论，从而为在中东实现公正、持久和全面的和平做出实质性贡献。", "被占领的叙利亚戈兰", "242. 各位部长重申，占领国以色列采取的或将要采取的所有措施和行动，例如1981年12月14日做出的有关旨在从法律、地理和人口方面改变被占领的叙利亚戈兰现状及其体制结构的非法决定，以及以色列在那里实施管辖权和管理权的措施，都是无效的，没有任何法律效力。他们进一步重申，所有这类措施和行动，包括以色列自1967年以来在被占领的叙利亚戈兰非法修建定居点和扩大活动，都公然违反了国际法、各项国际公约、《宪章》和联合国决定，特别是安全理事会第497(1981)号决议、1949年8月12日的《关于战时保护平民之日内瓦第四公约》，并藐视国际社会的意愿。他们重申不结盟运动的要求，以色列必须遵守安全理事会第497(1981)号决议，从被占领的叙利亚戈兰全面撤至1967年6月4日的界线，以执行安全理事会第242号和第338号决议，并要求以色列恪守根据以土地换和平的原则和国际合法性制定的马德里框架，该框架整体上被视为谈判进程中应遵守的主要和基本元素，包括立即开始划定1967年6月4日的界线。", "243. 各位部长重申，不结盟运动坚定支持和声援叙利亚的公正要求和权利，即按照《阿拉伯和平倡议》的框架、马德里和平进程和以土地换和平的原则以及安全理事会的相关决议，恢复叙利亚对被占领的叙利亚戈兰的全部主权。他们再次要求以色列遵守其做出的所有承诺和保证。", "244. 各位部长重申，他们要求以色列立即无条件遵守1949年8月12日的《关于战时保护平民之日内瓦第四公约》，并将其适用于被占领的叙利亚戈兰的叙利亚被羁押者。他们强烈谴责以色列在其占领区监狱中所采取的残忍做法，并对被占领的叙利亚戈兰的叙利亚被羁押者所遭遇的不人道待遇深表关切，因为这将会导致其身体健康状况恶化，并使其生命面临风险，同时这也公然违反了国际人道主义法。", "245.

各位部长坚信，以色列违反国际法和国际人道主义法以及侵犯人权的行为不应逍遥法外，应该追究以色列对黎巴嫩及其人民明显实施大规模犯罪的责任。他们还重申其支持黎巴嫩要求清除因以色列占领留下的几十万枚地雷；使以色列对其埋设地雷和造成的平民伤亡负责；并强调必须让以色列向联合国交出与未爆弹药位置有关的完整而正确的信息和地图，包括在2006年夏季入侵黎巴嫩期间对平民人口居住区投掷的集束炸弹，目前为止导致包括34名儿童和70名青年在内的超过357名平民伤亡，提供以色列空袭期间投掷集束炸弹的日期及其数量和类型信息；并呼吁国际社会和联合国继续为黎巴嫩提供财政和技术支持，以清除以色列在侵略和占领黎巴嫩领土期间埋设的集束炸弹和地雷。",

各位部长重申，查戈斯群岛，包括迪戈加西亚以前由毛里求斯领土上的前非法殖民政权非法占领，这违反了大会1960年12月14日第1514(XV)号决议和1965年12月16日第2066(XX)号决议。该群岛是毛里求斯共和国领土不可分割的一部分。", "261. 各位部长还严重关切地注意到，尽管毛里求斯共和国表示强烈反对，但联合王国试图在查戈斯群岛周围建立一个“海洋保护区”，这进一步妨碍了毛里求斯共和国按照联合国大会第2066(XX)号决议对查戈斯群岛行使主权和查戈斯群岛领土完整，以及被联合王国强行驱逐离开查戈斯群岛的毛里求斯公民的重返权利。", "262.

"我们回顾了不结盟运动为反抗殖民化和种族隔离所做的英勇斗争，殖民化和种族隔离剥夺了许多成员国的独立及经济和政治权利，因而阻碍了这些国家在和平和安定的条件下寻求发展。", "我们强调发展与和平和安全之间的联系是相辅相成的。我们承诺消除贫困并平衡兼顾经济增长、社会发展和环境保护，这是可持续发展的三个不可分割的支柱。",

"第16次不结盟运动部长级会议暨纪念会议", "印度尼西亚巴厘", "2011年5月23日至27日", "关于巴勒斯坦政治犯的宣言", "1. 不结盟运动部长审议了包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土的危急局势，特别是占领国以色列拘留或监禁的巴勒斯坦政治犯的严峻形势。各位部长表示严重关切，目前6 000多名巴勒斯坦人被关押在位于以色列和包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土上的22座监狱和拘留营内，其中300名囚犯是18岁以下的儿童。各位部长还表示严重关切，囚犯当中另有37名妇女和10名巴勒斯坦立法委员会成员。[31]", "2. 各位部长谴责关押囚犯公然违背了管辖外国占领情形的《日内瓦第四公约》，他们重申，正如多项安全理事会、大会和人权理事会决议以及国际法院2004年7月的咨询意见所申明的，该公约适用于包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土。各位部长表示全力支持需要提高对巴勒斯坦政治犯问题的认识并将其国际化。他们强调占领国以色列关押的巴勒斯坦政治犯应酌情被作为战俘对待。", "3. 各位部长强烈反对持续逮捕巴勒斯坦平民的做法，包括通过使用野蛮武力进行军事袭击、任意使用行政拘留、强迫讯问和将囚犯移送至以色列等方式。他们谴责占领国以色列的所有这些非法政策和行径，其目的显然是恐吓、非人性对待和镇压巴勒斯坦人民。他们还谴责占领国正将巴勒斯坦囚犯关押在极度恶劣、不卫生、有损尊严、甚至在有些情况下威胁生命的条件下。他们特别对以色列拘留的包括巴勒斯坦妇女儿童以及患病、残疾和瘫痪的巴勒斯坦被拘留者在内的最脆弱群体的处境和蓄意的医疗疏忽政策表示严重关切，该政策已导致200名囚犯死亡。他们谴责以色列继续通过立法决定和司法判决授权对巴勒斯坦囚犯使用酷刑和其他国际禁止措施，以及其他形式的身体和精神虐待，其中包括采用单独监禁，这剥夺了巴勒斯坦囚犯最基本的人道主义需求。", "4. 各位部长注意到拘留给巴勒斯坦囚犯及其家庭造成毁灭性影响，在这方面强调急需使释放犯快速重返社会。各位部长谴责以色列扣留在以色列拘留期间被杀或死亡的巴勒斯坦囚犯尸体并将其埋葬于军事墓地的做法。", "5. 各位部长强调，根据《日内瓦第四公约》第147条，以色列上述行径严重违反了国际人道主义法，在许多情况下构成战争罪和危害人类罪，根据该公约第146条，按照普遍管辖权，并在这方面援引《国际刑事法院罗马规约》的相关条文，其做法应受到国际刑事诉讼。", "6. 各位部长要求占领国以色列全面遵守《儿童权利公约》、《联合国禁止酷刑和其他残忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或处罚公约》等以色列加入的国际条约和公约，保证维持适当的拘留标准，毫不拖延地审讯所有被拘留者以及保证未成年人和囚犯的探视权。在这方面，各位部长赞扬红十字国际委员会(红十字委员会)始终如一的宝贵工作，旨在减轻巴勒斯坦囚犯在以色列监狱和拘留设施所受待遇的破坏性后果，检查他们的拘留条件，并吁请以色列给予其必要的出入权。在这方面，各位部长强调需要确保执行世界卫生组织2010年5月的决议，该决议决定派出包括红十字国际委员会(红十字委员会)在内的实况调查团，调查囚犯们每况愈下的健康状况。", "7. 各位部长要求以色列无条件地释放因参与反对占领活动(所谓的“政治罪行”)而被捕的巴勒斯坦囚犯，并要求占领国立即明确界定这些“政治罪行”。各位部长还要求以色列停止在包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土上任意逮捕巴勒斯坦人以及将其非法移送至以色列国内监狱的做法。", "8. 各位部长表示严重关切在大多数情况下囚犯没有机会获得法律顾问和亲友探视权，这违反了国际人道主义法和人权法。他们对以色列侵犯基本人权的持续行政拘留做法进一步表示严重关切，指出以色列极其任意地使用行政拘留命令，有上诉权但没有起诉权、审判权和辩护权。自2000年以来签发了共20 000份行政逮捕令。各位部长呼吁以色列在对待所有巴勒斯坦囚犯和被拘留者时充分尊重法治，遵守正当程序的国际标准。", "9. 各位部长欢迎旨在提高对巴勒斯坦政治犯困境的认识的各种国际努力，其中包括分别于2010年12月在阿尔及利亚和2011年1月在摩洛哥召开会议，以及2011年3月在奥地利召开“关于巴勒斯坦政治犯的联合国国际会议”。各位部长支持立即释放包括妇女儿童在内的巴勒斯坦政治犯并就其当前处境进行适当国际调查的国际呼吁。他们强调，应对这些囚犯的困境，应成为联合国大会、安全理事会、人权机构和国际社会的一个优先事项。在这方面，各位部长审议了巴勒斯坦民族权力机构囚犯事务部部长提出的对巴勒斯坦囚犯问题采取国际行动的提案，其中包括能否请大会通过一项决议，以请国际法院发布一份咨询意见，依据国际法决定被占领国关押的巴勒斯坦囚犯和被拘留者的法律地位并占领国和第三方的法律责任性质。", "10. 各位部长商定，巴勒斯坦囚犯问题对巴勒斯坦社会和以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突产生了重大影响，这是一个核心问题，是在该区域建设公正和平的基准。在此背景之下，各位部长强调，释放大量巴勒斯坦囚犯以及立即释放被任意非法监禁的巴勒斯坦立法委员会成员，是向培育互信氛围迈出的积极一步，而互信是重启永久地位谈判所必要的。", "11. 各位部长强调联合国和广大国际社会在提高对被以色列监禁和拘留的巴勒斯坦政治犯问题的认识和要求立即解决该问题方面发挥着重要作用。他们强调国际社会急需且有义务使用所有可供使用的机制，以确保占领国遵守国际法。他们敦促《日内瓦第四公约》所有缔约国根据共同的第1条履行其义务：在所有环境下尊重并确保尊重《公约》。各位部长还敦促缔约国采取所有适当步骤，召开一次会议，以应对这一严重问题。", "附件四", "第16次不结盟运动部长级会议暨纪念会议", "印度尼西亚巴厘", "2011年5月23日至27日", "关于巴勒斯坦问题的宣言", "1. 不结盟运动巴勒斯坦问题委员会部长紧急审议了巴勒斯坦问题。他们深表遗憾，在1948年巴勒斯坦人民经受浩劫过去63年后，巴勒斯坦问题仍未得到解决。那次浩劫使大多数巴勒斯坦人民被驱逐或逃离家园，成为没有国家和流离失所的人民，其中近五百万人继续过着悲惨的流亡生活，栖身于该区域各地的难民营，构成世界上最大的难民人口和持续时间最长的难民问题。他们又深表遗憾，自1967年以来，44年过去了，巴勒斯坦人民继续遭受以色列对其领土的残暴军事占领、各项基本人权，包括自决权和自由继续遭到剥夺，其苦难持续不断、人格尊严遭受侮辱。", "2. 各位部长表示严重关切，由于以色列针对巴勒斯坦人民及其土地的持续军事占领、非法行动和挑衅，包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土在政治、社会经济、人权、人道主义和安全局势方面形势严峻。他们特别表示严重关切并强烈谴责，以色列针对包括非暴力和平示威者在内的手无寸铁的巴勒斯坦平民非法、攻击性地使用军事力量；在西岸开展殖民定居活动；封锁加沙地带；拘留和监禁数以千计的巴勒斯坦人；以及针对巴勒斯坦人民实施所有其他集体惩罚措施，这严重违反了国际人道主义法、人权法和联合国决议，占领国必须对其行为负责。", "3. 各位部长对中东和平进程缺乏进展深表关切，强调当前的危险僵局是占领国以色列有罪不罚和誓不妥协的结果，以色列继续阻挠公正、持久、全面及和平地解决以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突和整个阿拉伯-以色列冲突。他们强调这一冲突持续不断对实现区域和国际和平与安全造成了严重影响。", "4. 鉴于这一局势令人不安，各位部长强调有必要遵守和捍卫不结盟运动通过的原则立场和战略，维护联合国关于巴勒斯坦问题的相关决议。他们重申对巴勒斯坦正义事业的长期支持和声援，以及对支持巴勒斯坦人民及其领导人的坚定承诺。他们强调需要继续提供政治、经济和人道主义支助，以援助巴勒斯坦人民并支持他们实现民族抱负和不可剥夺的人权的决心。", "5. 各位部长强调急需做出努力，在安全理事会第242、338、425、1397、1515和1850号决议等联合国相关决议、包括土地换和平原则在内的马德里框架、《阿拉伯和平倡议》和四方路线图的坚实基础上，努力帮助推进公平、可信的和平进程，同时铭记在2011年9月之前实现和平解决这一目标。他们强调该和平进程必须确保结束自1967年以来以色列对包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦领土和其他阿拉伯领土的占领；巴勒斯坦人民在以东耶路撒冷为首都、拥有独立、主权和生存能力的巴勒斯坦国内行使自决权；以及根据大会第194(III)号决议公正解决巴勒斯坦难民的困境。", "6. 各位部长回顾了国际社会，特别是联合国安全理事会和大会在这方面的历史作用和义务。考虑到《宪章》赋予安全理事会维护国际和平与安全的权力，他们吁请安全理事会承担起责任，立即采取行动，促进公正、持久和全面解决以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突和阿拉伯-以色列冲突。他们表示赞赏安理会内的不结盟运动核心小组成员国为巴勒斯坦问题所做的相关努力，并敦促他们继续积极参与，以便加强不结盟运动在和平努力中的作用。他们吁请加强国际和区域努力，包括四方、阿拉伯国家联盟和所有其他相关成员国所做的努力，以期在今年实现和平解决巴勒斯坦问题的所有方面。", "7. 关于全面审议实地局势，各位部长谴责以色列在包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土上推行的所有非法政策和做法，占领国继续侵犯人权、犯下战争罪，使巴勒斯坦人民遭受了巨大的苦难。他们要求以色列立即全面停止这些违反国际法的行径。", "8. 各位部长再次强烈谴责以色列在包括被占领的东耶路撒冷及其周边在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土上开展非法的殖民定居活动，这继续公然无视国际法和国际社会要求停止该运动的一致呼吁。他们再次要求立即全部停止以色列的所有定居活动，这些活动严重违反了国际人道主义法，公然无视联合国决议、国际法院2004年7月9日的咨询意见和四方路线图所载义务。他们强调和平进程与蓄意非法获得和事实上兼并更多巴勒斯坦土地的殖民活动是不相符的。", "9. 各位部长谴责以色列加紧没收土地；建设和扩大定居点、定居者“前哨”和基础设施；转移更多的以色列定居者；建造隔离墙；拆毁房屋；挖掘、实施专制的种族居住并借助许可证制度和数百个检查站对行动进行限制。他们谴责以色列定居者中的激进分子和极端分子针对巴勒斯坦平民和财产的暴力和恐怖活动升级。他们对以色列定居点和定居者、隔离墙和检查站造成物质、经济和社会破坏表示愤慨。这些定居点、定居者、隔离墙和检查站把巴勒斯坦领土分割成由隔离墙隔开的小区；使东耶路撒冷孤立于其他领土；数千巴勒斯坦人离开家园；严重破坏了巴勒斯坦的社会结构；并将一些社区彻底摧毁。他们警告说，以色列的非法殖民运动正在破坏巴勒斯坦被占领土的连续性、完整性、生存能力和统一，并严重破坏在1967年前边界的基础上切实实现两国和平解决方案的前景。", "10. 各位部长对被占领的东耶路撒冷及周边的局势表示严重关切。以色列在那里的殖民运动最凶猛，旨在非法改变该城的人口结构、特点与合法地位。他们吁请立即停止在该城中及其周边，包括Al-Haram Al-Sharif(神圣禁地)附近修建定居点和建造隔离墙、拆毁房屋、驱逐和挖掘；关闭巴勒斯坦机构；通过关于放逐的军事命令等方式取消巴勒斯坦人的居住权；定居者暴力以及旨在减少城内巴勒斯坦居民及巩固以色列对东耶路撒冷的非法吞并的其他措施。国际社会对此完全反对并且决不承认。", "11. 各国部长重申了要求以色列完全停止这些非法政策和做法的安全理事会和大会相关决议的有效性。他们呼吁充分尊重和执行这些决议，终止以色列在包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土上的定居活动，这些活动仍是实现和平的主要障碍。他们强调急需终止定居活动也是为了促进进行可信谈判的有利环境，以期在1967年边界基础上落实两国解决方案。在这方面，他们对近期安全理事会因某一常任理事国行使否决权而未能承担其责任深表遗憾，并再次呼吁安理会采取认真行动，确保以色列遵守相关决定，履行其所有法定义务。", "12. 在这方面，各国部长再次呼吁《日内瓦第四公约》缔约国根据共同的第1条履行义务，即在所有环境下尊重并确保尊重《公约》。他们吁请会员国和联合国根据国际法院咨询意见和大会ES-10/15号决议的各项要求履行各自的义务，其中包括不承认修建隔离墙所造成的非法局势，不为保持这一局势提供援助或协助。他们吁请安全理事会和大会考虑采取进一步行动，终止因在包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土上修建隔离墙所造成的非法局势。他们再次要求快速将《联合国损失登记册》投入运行，并迅速履行其各项任务。此外，他们再次要求采取具体行动，包括各国采取集体、区域和个别立法措施，遵守国际条约的各项义务，防止以色列定居点的任何产品进入其市场；不允许以色列定居者入境；对在包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土上参与修建定居点、隔离墙和其他非法殖民活动的公司和实体实施制裁。", "13. 关于加沙地带的严峻局势，各国部长再次强烈谴责以色列2008年12月至2009年1月对加沙地带发动的军事侵略，侵略致使数千名巴勒斯坦平民死伤，数以万计的家园、经济和农业财产、重要的民用基础设施和联合国设施遭到大规模破坏；给平民造成严重的心理创伤。他们重申需要确保占领国以色列为其对加沙的巴勒斯坦人民犯下的罪行承担责任。他们呼吁包括安全理事会在内的国际社会做出认真努力，终止以色列有罪不罚现象，为受害人伸张正义。他们吁吁根据联合国加沙冲突实况调查团的调查结果和建议采取后续行动。他们还重申《日内瓦第四公约》缔约国在刑事制裁、严重违法和责任方面的义务，并呼吁按照大会和人权理事会有关决议的要求，再次迅速召开日内瓦第四公约缔约国会议，探讨采取哪些措施以便在包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土上执行该公约并确保尊重共同的第1条。", "14. 各国部长再次谴责以色列对加沙地带实施非法封锁，这一行为继续对巴勒斯坦人民进行集体惩罚，阻碍平民自由行动、人道主义准入、基本货物的进入以及加沙重建。他们对封锁造成的悲惨的人道主义和社会经济状况表示严重关切，其中包括贫穷、失业、健康状况恶化以及所有部门的基础设施和机构衰败。他们强调非政府组织、民间社会和和平团体的工作，特别是在巴勒斯坦和以色列方面开展的工作的重要性，鼓励它们继续在加沙提供救济和援助。", "15. 在这方面，各位部长再次谴责以色列2010年5月30日在国际水域上对运往加沙地带的人道主义援助运输船队，“加沙自由船队”发动军事袭击，其间九名土耳其平民惨遭杀害。他们强调需要根据基于安全理事会于2010年6月1日要求的国际标准，对以色列的袭击进行独立、公正、可信和透明的国际调查。他们欢迎联合国秘书长成立调查小组、人权理事会成立实况调查团，呼吁立即就调查结果采取后续行动，确保对这一不幸事件进行问责。", "16. 各位部长再次要求以色列立即根据国际人道主义法、联合国决议和2005年11月《通行进出协定》全面停止对加沙的非法封锁。他们强调需要确保加沙与外界之间人员和货物的持续正常通行，包括商业流动，恢复加沙与西岸的联系、统一和通行，强调加沙地带仍是巴勒斯坦被占领土的一部分。在这方面，各位部长欢迎埃及政府决定开放拉法边界的过境点，该决定于2010年5月28日星期六生效。他们还强调急需国际社会认真努力，迫使占领国以色列允许所有必要建筑材料进入，以重建被毁坏的巴勒斯坦财产和基础设施以及包括联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处(近东救济工程处)的学校在内的联合国设施。在这方面，他们强调需要全力支持近东救济工程处履行其授权任务，在所有业务领域向巴勒斯坦难民提供援助。", "17. 各位部长谴责占领国以色列继续进行逮捕、任意拘留和强迫讯问。他们对在押的巴勒斯坦政治犯所处的非人道环境表示严重关切，其中包括肉体和精神虐待、报告的酷刑以及被剥夺适当的医疗和家人探视。他们再次呼吁立即释放所有被以色列非法拘留和监禁的巴勒斯坦人，包括儿童、妇女和当选官员，并呼吁国际社会接近他们并适当调查其处境。他们欢迎部长级会议一部分用于审查巴勒斯坦政治犯问题和提高国际社会在这一严重问题上的认识和行动。", "18. 各位部长重申支持巴勒斯坦人民的唯一合法代表——巴勒斯坦解放组织，并支持由马哈茂德·阿巴斯主席领导的巴勒斯坦权利机构，他们还强调保护和加强包括巴勒斯坦立法委员会在内的巴勒斯坦权利机构中的国家和民主机构意义重大，因为它们将构成未来独立的巴勒斯坦国的根本基础。他们重申巴勒斯坦统一对于实现巴勒斯坦人民公正、合法的民族权利和抱负至关重要。在这方面，他们欢迎巴勒斯坦所有政治派别于2011年5月4日在开罗签署《和解协定》，旨在结束2007年6月以来的分歧。他们赞扬阿拉伯埃及共和国政府、阿拉伯国家联盟和所有其他相关的区域各方在这方面认真努力。他们呼吁国际社会尊重并支持巴勒斯坦和解，强调尽快落实《和解协定》条款的重要意义。他们进一步强调需要调集巴勒斯坦的所有能力，维护巴勒斯坦领土的统一性和完整性、结束占领并实现独立。", "19. 各位部长强调需要对恢复和发展巴勒斯坦机构提供支助。他们呼吁不结盟运动大力支持萨拉姆·法耶兹总理执行2009年8月启动的题为“巴勒斯坦：结束占领、建立国家”计划的努力，并期待在2011年8月完成题为“奔向自由的最后冲刺”第二阶段的执行工作，为以东耶路撒冷为首都的巴勒斯坦国获得独立铺平道路。在这方面，各位部长热烈欢迎不久前若干国家采取的承认基于1967年边界的巴勒斯坦国的重要步骤。他们敦促尚未承认巴勒斯坦国的不结盟运动成员国尽快承认，与当前实地进行的建国努力保持一致，为根据国际法和联合国决议实现巴勒斯坦独立做出积极贡献。", "20. 各位部长呼吁不结盟运动成员国站在最前沿支持巴勒斯坦人民获得自由与和平的历史性进程。他们重申承认巴勒斯坦人民是一个国家、承认其不可剥夺的自决权和以东耶路撒冷为首都的巴勒斯坦国获得独立这一长期国际共识。各位部长重申联合国对巴勒斯坦问题负有长期责任，直至这一问题的方方面面按照国际法得到公正解决，并呼吁国际社会为此目的加倍努力。他们再次呼吁包括安全理事会在内的联合国履行其职责，在其决议基础上采取行动，迫使以色列停止其非法政策，尊重国际法，结束自1967年以来对巴勒斯坦和其他阿拉伯领土长达44年的非法占领。他们强调不结盟运动与安理会理事国、四方及和平进程中的其他相关方定期进行部长级接触和对话的重要性，以便传达不结盟运动的原则立场、捍卫国际法和联合国决议以及推动实现以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突和整个阿拉伯-以色列冲突的公正、持久、全面、和平解决。", "21. 在此背景下，各位部长强调不结盟运动巴勒斯坦问题委员会有必要与其他集团协调，制定并执行一份行动计划，以加大努力，推动不结盟运动成员国和非成员国普遍承认基于1967年边界、以东耶路撒冷为首都的巴勒斯坦国，安全理事会、大会和联合国秘书长以及四方和其他相关各方加大努力，推动建立一个以东耶路撒冷为首都的独立的巴勒斯坦国，承认它是一个国家并尽快接纳它为联合国会员国。各位部长随时准备为执行该行动计划提供支助，包括在必要时召开委员会特别会议，以继续讨论这一重要问题。",

The Ministers of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries[1], met under the Chairmanship of H.E. Mr. Marty Natalegawa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, in Bali, Indonesia on 25 and 26 May 2011, to review the progress and implementation of the Sharm El Sheikh Plan of Action adopted at the XV Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Non-Aligned Movement held on 15^(th) and 16^(th) July 2009, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, and to prepare for the upcoming NAM Summit in Tehran, the Islamic Republic of Iran, in 2012, as well as to address existing, new and emerging issues of collective concern and interest. In this regard, they reaffirmed and underscored the Movement’s abiding faith in and strong commitment to its founding principles[2], ideals and purposes, particularly in establishing a peaceful and prosperous world and a just and equitable world order as well as to the purposes and principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter.", "2. The Ministers affirmed the continued relevance and validity of all principled positions and decisions of the Movement as contained in the substantive outcome documents[3] of the 15^(th) NAM Summit held in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on 15^(th) and 16^(th) July 2009, including the Sharm El Sheikh Final Document and the Sharm El Sheikh Declaration, and the preceding fourteen Summit Conferences of the Movement[4], as well as all preceding Ministerial Conferences or Meetings of the Movement. Likewise, they expressed their determination to preserve and act in keeping with the Bandung Principles and the purposes and principles of the Non-Aligned Movement in the present international juncture as agreed in the Declaration on the Purposes and Principles and the Role of the Non-Aligned Movement in the Present International Juncture[5] adopted in the 14^(th) NAM Summit in Havana.", "3. The Ministers acknowledged the NAM Chair’s Report on the Movement’s activities covering from the 15^(th) NAM Summit held in Sharm El Sheikh to date, which showed significant progress in implementing the NAM Plan of Action as stipulated in the Sharm El Sheikh Final Document and the Sharm El Sheikh Declaration, which contributed positively in the process of strengthening and revitalizing the Non-Aligned Movement.", "CHAPTER I: GLOBAL ISSUES", "Review of the International Situation", "4. The Ministers emphasized that the present global scenario presents great challenges in the areas of peace and security, economic development and social progress, human rights and the rule of law to Non-Aligned Countries. They affirmed that many new areas of concern and challenges have emerged, particularly the current global financial and economic crisis, which warrant the renewal of commitment by the international community to uphold and defend the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations (UN) and the principles of international law. In taking stock of developments at the international level since the XV Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Movement, they noted that the collective desire of the Movement to establish a peaceful and prosperous world as well as a just and equitable world order remains encumbered by fundamental impediments. These impediments are in the form of, inter alia, the severe adverse impact of the global financial and economic crises on the economic growth and development of developing countries which could lead to increasing poverty and deprivation in these countries, the continuing lack of resources and underdevelopment of the majority of the developing world, on the one hand, and in the form of, inter alia, the continuing unequal terms of trade, the lack of cooperation from developed countries, as well as coercive and unilateral measures imposed by some of them, on the other hand. The rich and powerful countries continue to exercise an inordinate influence in determining the nature and direction of international relations, including economic and trade relations, as well as the rules governing these relations, many of which are at the expense of developing countries.", "5. The Ministers reaffirmed that the Movement will remain guided in its endeavours by its Founding Principles, the principles enshrined in the Declaration on the Purposes and Principles and the Role of the Non-Aligned Movement in the Present International Juncture adopted in the 14^(th) NAM Summit in Havana, the UN Charter and international law. To this end, the Movement will continue to uphold the principles of sovereignty and the sovereign equality of States, territorial integrity and non-intervention in the internal affairs of any State; take effective measures for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of peace, to defend, promote and encourage the settlement of international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered; refrain in international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter; develop friendly relations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and the self-determination of peoples in their struggle against foreign occupation; achieve international cooperation based on solidarity among peoples and governments in solving international problems of a political, economic, social, cultural or humanitarian character; and promote and encourage the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion.", "6. The Ministers noted that the existing, new and emerging threats and challenges, including the multiple inter-related and mutually reinforcing current global crises, continue to impede efforts by States to attain greater economic development and social progress, peace and security, and enjoyment of human rights and the rule of law. Global peace and security continue to elude humankind as a result of, inter alia, increasing tendency by certain States to resort to unilateralism and unilaterally imposed measures, non-fulfilment of the commitments and obligations assumed under the relevant international legally binding instruments especially on weapons of mass destruction and conventional weapons treaties, terrorism, conflicts, violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, the use of double standards in international relations, the continuing failure and unwillingness of the majority of the developed countries to fulfil their commitments in the economic and social fields. They underscored the need for the international community to collectively redress these situations in accordance with the UN Charter and the principles of international law.", "7. The Ministers underlined that Globalisation continues to present opportunities, challenges and risks to the future and viability of developing countries, and that the process of globalisation and trade liberalisation has produced uneven benefits among and within States while the global economy has been characterised by slow and lopsided growth and instability. Furthermore, it has made the developing countries more vulnerable to the adverse impact of the financial and economic crises, climate change, recurrent food crisis and energy prices volatility. In its present form, globalisation perpetuates or even increases the marginalisation of developing countries. Therefore, globalisation must be transformed into a positive force for change for all peoples, benefiting all countries, and contributing to the prosperity and empowerment of developing countries, not their continued impoverishment and dependence on the developed world. In addition, greater efforts must be made to generate a global strategy to prioritise and mainstream the development dimension into global processes, and in the relevant multilateral institutions in order to enable developing countries to benefit from the opportunities offered by globalisation and trade liberalisation, including through the creation of an enabling external economic environment for development which requires greater coherence between the international trading, monetary and financial systems that should be universal, open, equitable, non-coercive, rule-based, predictable and non-discriminatory.", "8. The revolution in information and communication technologies continues to change the world rapidly and in a fundamental way, thus creating a vast and widening digital divide between the developed and developing countries, which must be bridged if the latter are to benefit from the globalisation process. These new technological innovations must be made more easily available to developing countries in their efforts to modernise and revitalise their economies in pursuit of their developmental goals and well being of their populations. In this context, the achievement of these goals requires an enabling international environment and the honouring of commitments and pledges made by States, in particular the developed countries. In addition, the Movement underscores the need to prevent all discriminatory practices and policies that hinder access by developing countries to the benefits of information and communication technologies and to networks established in developed countries.", "9. The future will present as many challenges and opportunities as the past and the Movement must continue to remain strong, cohesive and resilient in order to address them and preserve the historic legacy of the Movement. The continued relevance and validity of the Movement will depend, in large measure, on the unity and solidarity of each of its Member Countries as well as their ability to influence these changes positively. In this regard, the process of the revitalisation and strengthening of the Movement must continue to be pro-active, advanced and consolidated.", "10. The Ministers recalled the decision of the Summit of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), held in Algiers in July 1999, calling for the restoration of constitutional legality in States whose governments had come to power through unconstitutional means, as well as the principles enshrined in the Constitutive Act of the African Union adopted in 2000 in Lomé, and in this context, encouraged the Non-Aligned Countries to continue to uphold the democratic ideals consistent with the Founding Principles of the Movement.", "11. The Ministers welcomed the designation by the UN General Assembly of April 22 as International Day of Mother Earth, and recognised that the earth and its ecosystems are home to humanity. They undertake to raise awareness about this issue.", "Non-Aligned Movement: Role and Methods of Work", "12. Recognising the aspirations of their peoples, the Ministers reaffirmed the Movement’s irrevocable political and moral commitment and determination to and full respect for the Bandung Principles and those adopted at the Havana Summit in the Declaration on the Purposes and Principles and the Role of the NAM in the Present International Juncture and the UN Charter as well as for their preservation and promotion, with a view to further consolidate and enhance the Movement’s role and position as the principal political platform representing the developing world in multilateral forums, in particular the United Nations. In this context, they stressed that achieving the principles, ideals and purposes of the Movement hinges upon the unity, solidarity and cohesion among its membership, firmly rooted on mutual respect, respect for diversity and tolerance.", "13. The Ministers reaffirmed that within the implementation of the Sharm El Sheikh Declaration, which reflects the institutional positions of the Movement vis-a-vis various international issues, and the documents adopted by the previous NAM Summits and Ministerial Conferences, due consideration should be given to maximizing the ability of the Movement to deal with the current rapidly evolving global situations, crises and challenges.", "14. The Ministers determined that if any member of the Movement suffers harm, whether this is economic, political or military in nature, or in terms of its security, or if a Member suffers harm as a result of the imposition of unilateral sanctions or embargos, the Movement should express its solidarity with the affected country through the provision of moral, material and other forms of assistance. To this end, the Ministers will continue to review the Movement’s existing mechanisms and explore new mechanisms for rendering such assistance, if necessary.", "15. The Ministers recalled that the Movement has been playing a key active, effective and central role, over the years, on issues of concern and vital importance to its members, such as decolonisation, apartheid, the situation in the Middle East including the Question of Palestine, the maintenance of international peace and security, and disarmament.

The UN remains the central and indispensable forum for addressing issues relating to international cooperation for economic development and social progress, peace and security, and human rights and the rule of law, based on dialogue, cooperation and consensus-building amongst States. In this context, the Movement attaches great importance to the strengthening of the role of the UN and stresses that efforts should be made to develop its full potential;", "2. The purpose of reform is to maintain the central role of the United Nations in development, through making the UN development system more responsive, efficient and effective in its support to developing countries to achieve the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals, on the basis of their national development strategies, and that reform efforts should enhance organisational efficiency and achieve concrete development results;", "3. The reform of the UN, which remains a collective agenda and high priority for the Movement, is a dynamic and ongoing process and not an end in itself in accordance with the parameters for the objective and scope of the review exercise set out by the 2005 World Summit Outcome and the Millennium Declaration.

A reformed UN must be responsive to the entire membership, faithful to its founding principles and capable of carrying out its mandate;", "6. The impact of UN reform on developing countries is yet to be felt given the continuous decline in the resources made available to the UN for multilateral development cooperation. The Ministers, while recognizing the steps taken by the General Assembly when adopted its resolution 63/260 aimed at improving the effective and efficient delivery of the mandates of the development-related activities, underscored the need for a substantially larger allocation of resources to strengthen the development pillar of the United Nations, which includes that Department of Economic and Social Affairs, UNCTAD, Regional Commissions and the Development Account. In this context, the Ministers expressed particular concern at the fact that the current system of financing of the Development Account has failed to work and stressed the need to address the perennial issue of the funding mechanism for the Account, as a matter of priority, in order to provide a predictable and sustainable funding to the Account. The success of UN reform can only be judged in terms of a collective assessment of the potential improvements in the functioning of the Organisation while preserving the interests of all developing countries. In this context, UN reform shall be strictly approved by the General Assembly and its ultimate goal shall not be to cut in the UN budget and resources.

In acknowledging the interconnectedness of economic and social development, peace and security, and human rights and the rule of law, efforts should be made to ensure that any effort to transform the UN into a more effective instrument for preventing conflict should take into account the need for a balanced coherent and comprehensive approach, in accordance with its Charter and international law, in order to enhance conflict prevention and resolution and post-conflict peace-building strategies with the aim of achieving sustained economic growth and sustainable development. In this context, it is critical that all principal organs of the UN play an active role in evolving and implementing a more effective collective security system, in accordance with their respective functions and powers;", "2. It is indispensable for UN Member States to develop common perceptions and agreed approaches to address existing, new and emerging threats and challenges to international peace and security as well as the root causes of conflict.

Efforts to strengthen the contribution of civil society, non-governmental organisations and the private sector to the work of the UN and its bodies through the established consultative arrangements should continue to be pursued, in accordance with the relevant UN resolutions and should serve the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.

Relationship among the Principal Organs of the United Nations", "71. The Ministers underscored the need for UN Member States to fully respect the functions and powers of each principal organ of the UN, in particular the General Assembly, and to maintain the balance among these organs within their respective Charter-based functions and powers. They stressed that the Security Council must fully observe all Charter provisions as well as all General Assembly resolutions, which clarify its relationship with the latter organ and other principal organs. In this context, they affirmed that Article 24 of the Charter does not necessarily provide the Security Council with the competence to address issues which fall within the functions and powers of the General Assembly and the ECOSOC, including in the areas of norm-setting, legislation, administrative and budgetary matters, and establishing definitions, bearing in mind that the Assembly is primarily tasked with the progressive development of international law and its codification.[15] The Ministers expressed their grave concern over the increasing and continuing encroachment by the Council on issues which clearly fall within the functions and powers of other principal organs of the UN and their subsidiary bodies. They further stressed that close cooperation and coordination among all principal organs is highly indispensable in order to enable the UN to remain relevant and capable of meeting the existing, new and emerging threats and challenges.", "72. The Ministers stressed that while Member States have conferred on the Security Council the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security pursuant to Article 24 (1) of the UN Charter and in carrying out its duties under this responsibility, the Council acts on their behalf.

Its prerogative as the chief oversight organ of the UN, including on management and procurement for peacekeeping operations, must also be respected; and", "2. The revitalization of the work of the General Assembly – which must be guided by the principles of democracy, transparency and accountability and achieved through open-ended and inclusive consultations – is a critical component of the comprehensive reform of the UN, and its objectives should continue to strengthen the role and position of the General Assembly as the chief deliberative, policy-making and representative organ of the United Nation, bearing in mind that the improvement of its procedural and working methods is only a first step towards a more substantive improvements and revitalization of the Assembly; and to restore and enhance the role and authority of the General Assembly, including in the maintenance of international peace and security as provided for in the Charter, through, inter alia, fully respecting its functions and powers and strengthening its relationship and coordination with other principal organs, in particular the Security Council.", "76.

The Ministers emphasized that in such instances where the Security Council has not fulfilled its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, the General Assembly should take appropriate measures in accordance with the Charter to address the issue.

Reform of the Security Council should be comprehensive, addressing all substantive issues relating, inter alia, to the question of the membership, regional representation, the Council’s agenda, its working methods and decision-making process, including the veto, and should garner the widest possible political acceptance by Member States;", "4. In recent years, the Security Council has been too quick to threaten or authorise enforcement action in some cases while being silent and inactive in others. Furthermore, the Council has been increasingly resorting to Chapter VII of the Charter as an umbrella for addressing issues that do not necessarily pose an immediate threat to international peace and security. A careful review of these trends indicates that the Council could have opted for alternative provisions to respond more appropriately to particular cases. Instead of excessive and quick use of Chapter VII, efforts should be made to fully utilize the provisions of Chapters VI and VIII for the pacific settlement of disputes. Chapter VII should be invoked, as intended, as a measure of last resort. Unfortunately, provisions of Articles 41 and 42 in some cases have been too quickly resorted to while the other options had not been fully exhausted;", "5. The Security Council-imposed sanctions remain an issue of serious concern to Non-Aligned Countries. In accordance with the UN Charter, sanctions should be considered to be imposed only after all means of peaceful settlement of disputes under Chapter VI of the Charter have been exhausted and a thorough consideration undertaken of the short-term and long-term effects of such sanctions. Sanctions are a blunt instrument, the use of which raises fundamental ethical questions of whether sufferings inflicted on vulnerable groups in the target country are legitimate means of exerting pressure. The objectives of sanctions are not to punish or otherwise exact retribution on the populace. In this regard, the objectives of sanctions regimes should be clearly defined, and that its imposition should be for a specified timeframe and be based on tenable legal grounds, and that it should be lifted as soon as the objectives are achieved. The conditions demanded of the State or party on which sanctions are imposed should be clearly defined and subject to periodic review. Sanctions should be imposed only when there exists a threat to international peace and security or an act of aggression, in accordance with the Charter, and that it is not applicable “preventively” in instances of mere violation of international law, norms or standards. Targeted sanctions may be a better alternative so long as the population of targeted State concerned is not victimised whether directly or indirectly;", "6. Transparency, openness and consistency are key elements that the Security Council should observe in all its activities, approaches and procedures. Regrettably, the Council has neglected these important factors on numerous occasions. Such instances include unscheduled open debates with selective notification, reluctance in convening open debates on some issues of high significance, repeatedly restricting participation in some of the open debates and discriminating between members and non-members of the Council particularly with regard to sequencing and time limits of statements during the open debates, failure to submit special reports to the General Assembly as required under Article 24 of the Charter, submission of annual reports still lacking sufficient information and analytical content, and lack of minimal parameters for the elaboration of the monthly assessment by the Security Council Presidencies. The Council must comply with the provisions of Article 31 of the Charter, which allow any non-Council member to participate in discussions on matters affecting it. Rule 48 of the Provisional Rules of Procedure of the Council should be thoroughly observed. Closed meetings and informal consultations should be kept to a minimum and as the exception they were meant to be;", "7.

Oppose attempts through the imposition or prolongation of sanctions or their extension by the Security Council against any State under the pretext or with the aim of achieving the political objectives of one or a few States, rather than in the general interest of the international community; and", "9. Urge the Non-Aligned Countries, which are members of the Security Council,[17] to promote and defend, as deemed possible, the aforementioned positions and objectives during their tenure of membership in the Council, and to this end to, while noting with satisfaction recent positive steps in that regard, stress the need for the consolidation of the NAM Caucus in the Council with the principal objective of coordinating and defending the positions of the Movement in the Security Council, and call upon the members of the Caucus to provide timely briefings and to engage in close consultation with the Non-Aligned Countries, particularly those whose interests and concerns are under consideration by the Council, as well as to keep the Movement continuously updated of all relevant developments and issues with which the Council is actively seized.", "F.

The Ministers reaffirmed that universality, transparency, impartiality, objectivity and non-selectivity should be guiding principles for the work of the Council and its method of work.

The principle of capacity to pay of Member States should remain as the fundamental criterion in the apportionment of the expenses of the Organisation;", "4.

The Ministers again called for an international conference to identify ways and means of eliminating nuclear dangers, at the earliest possible date, with the objective of an agreement on a phased programme for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons with a specified framework of time, to prohibit their development, production, acquisition, testing, stockpiling, transfer, use or threat of use, and to provide for their destruction.", "148. The Ministers reaffirmed that the total elimination of nuclear weapons is the only absolute guarantee against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons and reaffirmed further that Non-Nuclear-Weapon States (NNWS) should be effectively assured by NWS against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons. Pending the total elimination of nuclear weapons, they reaffirmed the need for the conclusion of a universal, unconditional and legally binding instrument on security assurances to NNWS as a matter of high priority. They noted the lack of progress since the establishment in 1998 of an Ad Hoc Committee in the Conference on Disarmament to negotiate universal, unconditional and legally binding security assurances to all NNWS. They expressed concern that despite long standing request by NNWS to receive such legally binding assurances, no tangible progress has been achieved in this regard. The Ministers further stressed the significance and positive security implications of the conclusion of a universal, unconditional and legally binding instrument on NSA.", "149. The Ministers stressed the significance of achieving universal adherence to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), including by all NWS, which, inter alia, should contribute to the process of nuclear disarmament. They reiterated that if the objectives of the Treaty were to be fully realized, the continued commitment of all States signatories, especially the NWS, to nuclear disarmament would be essential.", "150. The Ministers reaffirmed the importance of the application of the principles of transparency, irreversibility and verifiability by NWS in all measures related to the fulfilment of their nuclear disarmament obligations.", "151. The Ministers, while noting the conclusion of the New START Treaty between the Russian Federation and the United States, stressed that reductions in deployments and in operational status cannot substitute for irreversible cuts in, and the total elimination of, nuclear weapons. In this context they called on the United States and the Russian Federation to apply the principles of transparency, irreversibility and verifiability to such cuts, to further reduce their nuclear arsenals, both warheads and delivery systems, thus contributing to the fulfilment of their nuclear disarmament obligations and facilitating the realisation of a world free of nuclear weapons at an earliest date.", "152. The Ministers agreed that there remains an ever growing and most pressing need for concrete actions by Nuclear-Weapon States, to take further substantive and practical measures urgently, according to their multilaterally agreed commitments, to attain the goal of complete nuclear disarmament within a specified framework of time.", "153. The Ministers continued to be concerned over the negative implications of the development and deployment of anti-ballistic missile (ABM) defence systems and the threat of weaponization of outer space which have, inter alia, contributed to the further erosion of an international climate conducive to the promotion of disarmament and the strengthening of international security. The abrogation of the ABM Treaty brought new challenges to strategic stability and the prevention of the arms race in outer space. They remained seriously concerned at the negative security consequences of the deployment of strategic missile defence systems which could trigger an arms race(s) and lead to the further development of advanced missile systems and an increase in the number of nuclear weapons.", "154. The Ministers recognized the common interest of all mankind in the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes, and emphasized that prevention of an arms race in outer space, including a ban to deploy or use weapons therein, would avert a grave danger for international peace and security. They further emphasized the paramount importance of strict compliance with existing arms limitation and disarmament agreements relevant to outer space, including bilateral agreements, and with the existing legal regime concerning the use of outer space. They also reemphasized the urgent need for the commencement of substantive work in the CD, inter alia, on the prevention of an arms race in outer space, taking note of the joint Russian-Chinese initiative of a draft treaty on the “Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space, the Threat or Use of Force Against Outer Space Objects” (PPWT) presented in the Conference on Disarmament on 12 February 2008. They noted that this initiative is a constructive contribution to the work of the Conference, and is a good basis for further discussion toward adopting an international binding instrument.", "155. The Ministers remained convinced of the need for a multilaterally negotiated, universal, comprehensive, transparent, and non-discriminatory approach toward the issue of missiles in all its aspects as a contribution to international peace and security. They expressed their support for efforts to be continued within the UN to explore further the issue of missiles in all its aspects. In this regard, they emphasized the contribution of peaceful uses of space technologies, including space launch vehicle technologies, to human advancement, such as for telecommunications and data gathering on natural disasters. They also emphasized the need to keep the issue of missiles in all its aspects on the agenda of the UN General Assembly and welcomed that the Panel of Governmental Experts established in accordance with Resolution 59/67 successfully concluded its work in 2008 and submitted its report to the 63^(rd) session of the UN General Assembly. Pending the achievement of such a universal approach related to delivery systems for weapons of mass destruction, any initiative to address these concerns effectively and in a sustainable and comprehensive manner should be through an inclusive process of negotiations in a forum where all States could participate as equals. They stressed the importance of the security concerns of all States at regional and global levels in any approach to the issue of missiles in all its aspects.", "156. The Ministers believed that the establishment of nuclear-weapon-free zones (NWFZs) created by the treaties of Tlatelolco, Rarotonga, Bangkok, Pelindaba, the Central Asian nuclear-weapon-free zone treaty as well as Mongolia’s nuclear-weapon-free-status are positive steps and important measures towards strengthening global nuclear disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation and they welcomed the entry into force of the Treaty on a nuclear-weapon-free zone in Central Asia on 21 March 2009 and the Treaty on a nuclear-weapon-free zone in Africa on 15 July 2009 which represented effective contributions to strengthening regional and global peace and security. They reiterated that in the context of NWFZs, it is essential that NWS should provide unconditional assurances against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons to all States of the zone. They urged States to conclude agreements freely arrived at among the States of the region concerned with a view to establishing new NWFZs in regions where they do not exist, in accordance with the provisions of the Final Document of the First Special Session of the General Assembly devoted to Disarmament (SSOD-I) and the principles adopted by the 1999 UN Disarmament Commission.", "157. Recalling the convening and the outcome of the Second Conference of the States Parties and Signatories to Treaties that Established Nuclear Weapon Free Zones and Mongolia held in New York, on 30 April 2010, the Ministers called on the States parties and signatories to the Treaties of NWFZs to implement further ways and means of co-operation among themselves, their treaty agencies and other interested States. They expressed their support for Mongolia’s policy aimed at institutionalizing its nuclear-weapons-free status and for the measures taken by Mongolia to consolidate and strengthen this status. In this regard they welcomed the start of the talks by Mongolia with its two neighbours to conclude the required legal instrument and expressed their hope that it would soon result in the conclusion of an international instrument institutionalizing the status.", "158. The Ministers reiterated their support for the establishment in the Middle East of a zone free of all weapons of mass destruction. As a priority step to this end, they reaffirmed the need for the speedy establishment of a NWFZ in the Middle East in accordance with the Security Council Resolution 487 (1981) and paragraph 14 of the Security Council Resolution 687 (1991) and the relevant General Assembly resolutions adopted by consensus. They called upon all parties concerned to take urgent and practical steps towards the fulfilment of the proposal initiated by Iran in 1974 for the establishment of such a zone and, pending its establishment, they demanded on Israel, the only country in the region that has not joined the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) nor declared its intention to do so, to renounce possession of nuclear weapons, to accede to the NPT without further delay, to place promptly all its nuclear facilities under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) full-scope safeguards according to Security Council Resolution 487 (1981) and to conduct its nuclear related activities in conformity with the non-proliferation regime. They called for the earliest implementation of relevant IAEA resolutions on “Application of IAEA Safeguards in the Middle East”. They expressed great concern over the acquisition of nuclear capability by Israel which poses a serious and continuing threat to the security of neighbouring and other States, and condemned Israel for continuing to develop and stockpile nuclear arsenals. In this context they also condemned the statement made by the then Prime Minister of Israel on 11 December 2006, related to the possession of nuclear weapons by Israel. They urged the continued consideration of the issue of Israeli nuclear capabilities in the context of the IAEA, including at the General Conference. They were of the view that stability cannot be achieved in a region where massive imbalances in military capabilities are maintained particularly through the possession of nuclear weapons, which allow one party to threaten its neighbours, and the region. They further welcomed the initiative by the Arab Republic of Egypt, on the establishment of a zone free from weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East, and in this context, they took into consideration the draft resolution tabled by the Syrian Arab Republic, on behalf of the Arab Group, before the Security Council on 29 December 2003 on the establishment of a zone free of all weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. They stressed that necessary steps should be taken in different international fora for the establishment of this zone. They also called for the total and complete prohibition of the transfer of all nuclear-related equipment, information, material and facilities, resources or devices and the extension of assistance in the nuclear related scientific or technological fields to Israel. In this regard, they expressed their serious concern over the continuing development whereby Israeli scientists are provided access to the nuclear facilities of one NWS. This development will have potentially serious negative implications on security in the region as well as the reliability of the global non-proliferation regime.", "159. The Ministers reiterated their support for the efforts of the Arab Group in Vienna to keep the question of the Israeli Nuclear capabilities under consideration of the General Conference of the IAEA.", "160. The Ministers underscored the Movement’s principled position concerning non-use or threat of use of force against the territorial integrity of any State. In this regard, they condemned the Israeli attack against a Syrian facility on September 6, 2007, which constitutes a flagrant violation of the UN Charter and welcomed Syria’s cooperation with the IAEA in this regard.", "161. The Ministers emphasized the importance of the observance of environmental norms in the preparation and implementation of disarmament and arms limitation agreements, and in this regard, they welcomed the adoption of General Assembly Resolution 65/53 on this matter without a vote. They reaffirmed that international disarmament forums should take fully into account the relevant environmental norms in negotiating treaties and agreements on disarmament and arms limitation and that all States, through their actions, should contribute fully to ensuring compliance with the aforementioned norms in the implementation of treaties and conventions to which they are parties.", "162. The Ministers emphasized the importance of the UN activities at the regional level to increase the stability and security of its Member States, which could be promoted in a substantive manner by the maintenance and revitalization of the three regional centres for peace and disarmament.", "163. The Ministers of States Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), while reaffirming the package of agreements of the 1995 Review and Extension Conference of the NPT and the Final Document of the 2000 Review Conference of the NPT, and recognizing the crucial role of the NPT in nuclear disarmament, nuclear non-proliferation and the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, were of the view that the “Conclusions and Recommendations for Follow-on actions” of the 2010 Review Conference of the NPT, represent an outcome that can be built upon and further enhanced in the near future, to fully address the priorities of the Movement, in particular to realise a world free from nuclear weapons. They called upon NWS to implement fully and effectively their obligations under the Treaty, in particular in the area of nuclear disarmament, and the outcomes of its Review Conferences, in particular the 1995 Review and Extension Conference, the 2000 Review Conference and the 2010 Review Conference.", "164. The Ministers of States Parties to the NPT stressed the importance of the review of the operation of the Treaty in the framework of the NPT Review Conferences and in this context emphasized that the inclusion of the Review Part of the Final Document of the 2010 NPT Review Conference as an opinion of the President and not as a consensus language should not be considered as a precedent to be followed in the future without prejudice to the prerogatives of the Review Conference.", "165. The Ministers of the States Parties to the NPT commended the Chairmanship of H.E. Libran N. Cabactulan of the Philippines, of the 2010 NPT Review Conference and the active engagement of NAM States Parties to the Treaty in its deliberations. They highlighted the importance of implementing the action plans adopted by the conference on nuclear disarmament, on nuclear non-proliferation, on peaceful uses of nuclear energy and on the implementation of the 1995 resolution on the Middle-East. The Ministers noted with concern the lack of agreement on a number of key priorities of NAM States Parties to the NPT, including inter alia, to begin negotiations on a Nuclear-Weapons-Convention and to commence negotiations on a legally binding instrument on unconditional Negative Security Assurances to Non-Nuclear-Weapon States. The Ministers of these States Parties to the NPT agreed to continue their collective efforts in pursuing the realization of the aforementioned NAM priorities in the next review process.", "166. In this context, the Ministers of States Parties to the NPT welcomed the adoption by consensus of a detailed plan of action on “the Middle East, particularly implementation of the 1995 resolution on the Middle East” in the “Conclusions and Recommendations for Follow-on actions” of 2010 NPT Review Conference. The Ministers urged the UN Secretary General and the co-sponsors of the 1995 Resolution, in consultation with the States of the region, to commence immediately necessary preparations to convene a conference in 2012, to be attended by all States of the Middle East on the establishment of a Middle East zone free of nuclear weapons and all other weapons of mass destruction. They stressed the importance of the full implementation of all aspects of the agreed plan of action and the active and constructive engagement of all parties concerned to allow for the success of the conference in launching a regional negotiation process aimed at fully realizing the objectives of the 1995 resolution and the establishment of the zone.", "167. The Ministers of States Parties to the NPT expressed deep concern over the delay in the implementation of the measures contained in the Action Plan adopted by the 2010 NPT Review Conference on the implementation of the 1995 Resolution on the Middle East, in close consultation and coordination with the States of the Middle East. They strongly urged the United Nations Secretary-General and the three cosponsors of the 1995 Resolution on the Middle East to start immediately the full implementation of the Action Plan on the Middle East. They stressed the importance of the immediate appointment of a facilitator, the designation of a host country and the confirmation of the date of the Conference. The Ministers requested the Secretary-General, in implementation of his mandate to convene the Conference, to exert maximum efforts with a view to Convening the Conference at the earliest possible date prior to the First Preparatory Committee of the 2015 NPT Review Conference, to be held in May 2012. The Ministers further stressed the importance of availing all financial means necessary for the activities of the facilitator and convening of the Conference, as soon as possible, including the regular budget of the United Nations.", "168. The Ministers of state parties to the NPT reaffirmed the urgency and importance of Israel’s accession to the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the placement of all its nuclear facilities under IAEA comprehensive safeguards according to the relevant international instruments and decisions, including operative paragraph 5 of Security Council resolution 487 (1981). They called on Israel, as the only non-NPT party in the Middle East, to accede, without further delay, to the Treaty as a non-nuclear-weapon State.", "169. The Ministers of States Parties to the NPT reiterated their call for the firm commitment by all States Parties to the Treaty to the implementation of all the provisions of the Treaty and called for the full implementation of the 13 practical steps for systematic and progressive efforts to implement Article VI of the Treaty, particularly an unequivocal undertaking by the NWS to accomplish the total elimination of their nuclear arsenals leading to nuclear disarmament. Pending the total elimination of nuclear weapons, they also recalled that the Final Document of the 2000 Review Conference of the NPT reiterated that legally binding security assurances by the five NWS to the non-NWS parties to the Treaty would strengthen the nuclear non-proliferation regime. They underlined the agreement by consensus at the 2010 Review Conference of the NPT on practical steps for systematic and progressive efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons; the implementation of the resolution on the Middle East adopted by the 1995 Review and Extension Conference of the NPT; and on a legally binding international instrument on unconditional security assurances to non nuclear weapon states.", "170. The Ministers of the States Parties to the NPT called upon the NWS to implement their commitments not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-NWS parties to the Treaty or NWFZs at any time or under any circumstances, pending the conclusion of a legally binding instrument on security assurances.", "171. The Ministers reaffirmed the inalienable right of developing countries to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination. They continued to note with concern that undue restrictions on exports to developing countries of material, equipment and technology, for peaceful purposes persist. They again emphasized that proliferation concerns are best addressed through multilaterally negotiated, universal, comprehensive and non-discriminatory agreements. Non-proliferation control arrangements should be transparent and open to participation by all States, and should ensure that they do not impose restrictions on access to material, equipment and technology for peaceful purposes required by developing countries for their continued development. The Ministers expressed their full confidence in the impartiality and professionalism of the IAEA and strongly rejected attempts by any State to politicize the work of the IAEA, including its technical co-operation programme, in violation of its Statute, as well as any undue pressure or interference in the Agency’s activities which could jeopardize the efficiency and credibility of the IAEA.", "172. The Ministers of the States Parties to the NPT emphasized once more that nothing in the Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all the parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity with Articles I, II, III and IV of the Treaty. They stressed that this right constitutes one of the fundamental objectives of the Treaty. In this connection, they confirmed that each country’s choices and decision in the field of peaceful uses of nuclear energy should be respected without jeopardizing its policies or international co-operation agreements and arrangements for peaceful uses of nuclear energy and its fuel-cycle policies.", "173. The Ministers stressed particularly the responsibility of developed countries to promote the legitimate need of nuclear energy of the developing countries, by allowing them to participate to the fullest extent possible in the transfer of nuclear equipment, materials, scientific and technological information for peaceful purposes with a view to achieving the largest benefits and applying pertinent elements of sustainable development in their activities.", "174. The Ministers took note of the adoption, through a vote, in 2010, of two proposals on the multilateral approaches to the nuclear fuel cycle, in the IAEA Board of Governors. They highlighted that this issue should be conducted through wide, integral and transparent consultations and negotiations, focusing on its technical, legal, political and economical implications, before any decision is taken about this complex and sensitive matter. The Ministers emphasized that decisions should be made by consensus, with the participation of all IAEA member States, and any proposal from IAEA must be consistent with its Statute, without any prejudice to the inalienable right of its member States to research, develop and use for peaceful purposes of nuclear sciences, in all its aspects.", "175. The Ministers emphasizing the importance of the positive role played by the Non-Aligned Members in the IAEA, stressed the necessity that all members of the IAEA strictly observe its Statute. They stressed that any undue pressure or interference in the Agency’s activities, especially its verification process, which could jeopardize the efficiency and credibility of the Agency, should be avoided. They recognised that the IAEA is the sole competent authority for verification of compliance with the obligations under the respective safeguard agreements of the Member States. They also reaffirmed that a clear distinction has to be made between the legal obligations of Member States under their respective safeguards agreements and their voluntary undertakings, in order to ensure that such voluntary undertakings are not turned into legal safeguards obligations.", "176. The Ministers reaffirmed the inviolability of peaceful nuclear activities and that any attack or threat of attack against peaceful nuclear facilities –operational or under construction- poses a great danger to human beings and the environment, and constitutes a grave violation of international law, principles and purposes of the UN Charter and regulations of the IAEA. They recognised the urgent need for a comprehensive multilaterally negotiated instrument prohibiting attacks or threat of attacks on nuclear facilities devoted to peaceful uses of nuclear energy.", "177. The Ministers affirmed the need to strengthen the Radiological Safety and Protection Systems at facilities utilising radioactive materials as well as at radioactive waste management facilities, including the safe transportation of these materials. They reaffirmed the need to strengthen existing international regulations relating to safety and security of transportation of such materials. The Ministers noted efforts of the IAEA in this regard including convening an “International Conference on the safe and secure transport of radioactive material: The next fifty years- creating a safe, secure and sustainable framework” in Vienna from the 17^(th) to the 21^(st) of October 2011. While reiterating the need to take appropriate measures to prevent any dumping of nuclear or radioactive wastes, they called for effective implementation of the Code of Practice on the International Transboundary Movement of Radioactive Waste of the IAEA as a means of enhancing the protection of all States from the dumping of radioactive wastes on their territories.", "178. The Ministers stressed that the issue of proliferation should be resolved through political and diplomatic means, and that measures and initiatives taken in this regard should be within the framework of international law; relevant conventions; the UN Charter, and should contribute to the promotion of international peace, security and stability.", "179. The Ministers of the NAM States Parties to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) reaffirmed that the possibility of any use of bacteriological (biological) agents and toxins as weapons should be completely excluded, and the conviction that such use would be repugnant to the conscience of humankind. They recognised the particular importance of strengthening the Convention through multilateral negotiations for a legally binding Protocol and universal adherence to the Convention. They reiterated their call to promote international cooperation for peaceful purposes, including scientific-technical exchange, and to adopt concrete actions in this regard such as those contained in the Plan of Action to implement the Article X submitted by the NAM States Parties at the Sixth Review Conference, and the additional NAM States Parties’ proposal on a mechanism for the full implementation of Article X of the Convention presented more recently. They underlined the importance to maintain close coordination among the NAM States Parties to the Convention and highlighted that the Convention on Biological and Toxin Weapons forms a whole and that, although it is possible to consider certain aspects separately, it is critical to deal with all of the issues interrelated to this Convention in a balanced and comprehensive manner.", "180. The Ministers of the NAM States Parties to the BTWC stressed the importance of the active participation by NAM States Parties to the BTWC in the Seventh BTWC Review Conference, to be held at the end of 2011, to advance their positions on this Convention, particularly those on Article X of the BTWC, especially by emphasizing the need for enhancing international cooperation, assistance and exchange in biological sciences and technology for peaceful purposes. They further encouraged the BTWC States Parties to provide information, as set forth in paragraph 54 of the Final Document of the Sixth BTWC Review Conference, on how Article X of the BTWC on the issue of international assistance and cooperation is being implemented.", "181. The Ministers of the States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) invited all States that have not yet signed or ratified the Convention to do so as soon as possible with a view to its universality. They reaffirmed that the effective contribution of the Convention to international and regional peace and security can be enhanced through its full implementation. The Ministers reaffirmed the importance of international cooperation in the field of chemical activities for purposes not prohibited under the Chemical Weapons Convention. They reiterated their call on the developed countries to promote international cooperation for the benefit of States Parties through the transfer of technology, material and equipment for peaceful purposes in the chemical field and the removal of all and any discriminatory restrictions that are contrary to the letter and spirit of the Convention. They recalled that the full, balanced, effective and non-discriminatory implementation of all provisions of the Convention in particular economic and technical development through international cooperation, is fundamental to the achievement of its object and purpose. While expressing their serious concern on the recent indications by certain possessor states parties that they will not meet their obligations regarding the deadlines for the total elimination of chemical weapons and that 36.28% of chemical weapons still remained to be destroyed as of 31^(st) January 2011, they called upon States having declared possession of chemical weapons to ensure full and complete compliance with the final extended deadline (29th of April 2012) for the destruction of their chemical weapons, in order to uphold the credibility and integrity of the Convention. They stressed that the obligation and responsibility for the destruction of chemical weapons lies solely with the possessor States Parties and that fulfilment of this obligation is fundamental to achieve the object and purpose of the Convention. In this regard, they called on the relevant possessor States Parties to intensify the rate of destruction of their chemical weapon stockpiles by taking every necessary measure to meet their final extended deadlines for the destruction of their chemical weapons in accordance with the provisions of the Convention.", "182. The Ministers of the States Parties to the CWC reaffirmed that the implementation of the Article X of the CWC on assistance and protection against chemical weapons make a significant contribution to countering the threats of use of chemical weapons. They stressed the importance of achieving and maintaining a high level of readiness of the OPCW to provide timely and needed assistance and protection against use or threat of use of chemical weapons, including assistance to the victims of chemical weapons.", "183. The Ministers of the States Parties to the CWC, while paying due respect to the chemical weapons victims and their families, declare their firm conviction that international support to provide special care and assistance to all victims suffering the effects of exposure to chemical weapons is an urgent humanitarian need and that the States Parties to the Convention as well as the OPCW should pay urgent attention to meeting these needs including through the possible establishment of an international support network.", "184. The Ministers once again condemned the Israeli military aggression against the Gaza Strip in 2009 and the occupying power’s indiscriminate shelling and bombing of Palestinian civilian areas, and expressed their grave concern over the reported use in civilian areas of harmful and potentially fatal incendiary weapons, such as white phosphorous. In this regard, they reiterated their call for a thorough investigation of this serious matter by relevant bodies under the appropriate international conventions and agreements.", "185. The Ministers regretted unsubstantiated allegations of non-compliance with relevant instruments on weapons of mass destruction and called on States Parties to such instruments that make such allegations to follow procedures set out in those instruments and to provide necessary substantiation for their allegations. They called upon all States parties to the respective international instruments to implement fully and in a transparent manner all their obligations under these instruments.", "186. The Ministers expressed their satisfaction with the consensus among States on measures to prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction. They welcomed the adoption by consensus of the General Assembly Resolution 65/62 entitled “Measures to prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction” and underlined the need for this threat to humanity to be addressed within the UN framework and through international co-operation. While stressing that the most effective way of preventing terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction is through the total elimination of such weapons, they emphasized that progress was urgently needed in the area of disarmament and non-proliferation in order to help maintain international peace and security and to contribute to global efforts against terrorism. They called upon all Member States to support international efforts to prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery. They also urged all Member States to take and strengthen national measures, as appropriate, to prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction, their means of delivery and materials and technologies related to their manufacture.", "187. While noting the adoption of resolution 1540 (2004), resolution 1673 (2006) and resolution 1810 (2008) by the Security Council, the Ministers underlined the need to ensure that any action by the Security Council does not undermine the UN Charter and existing multilateral treaties on weapons of mass destruction and of international Organisations established in this regard, as well as the role of the General Assembly. They further cautioned against the continuing practice of the Security Council to utilize its authority to define the legislative requirements for Member States in implementing Security Council decisions. In this regard, the Ministers stressed the importance of the issue of non-state actors acquiring weapons of mass destruction to be addressed in an inclusive manner by the General Assembly, taking into account the views of all Member States.", "188. Mindful of the threat posed to humankind by the existing weapons of mass destruction particularly Nuclear Weapons and underlining the need for the total elimination of such weapons, the Ministers reaffirmed the need to prevent the emergence of new types of weapons of mass destruction and therefore supported the necessity of monitoring the situation and triggering international action as required.", "189. The Ministers reaffirmed the sovereign right of States to acquire, manufacture, export, import and retain conventional arms for their self-defence and security needs. They expressed their concern about unilateral coercive measures and emphasized that no undue restriction should be placed on the transfer of such arms.", "190. The Ministers recognised the significant imbalance in the production, possession and trade in conventional weapons between the industrialized and the Non-Aligned Countries, and called for a significant reduction in the production, possession and trade of conventional weapons by the industrialized states with a view to enhancing international and regional peace and security.", "191. The Ministers remained deeply concerned over the illicit transfer, manufacture and circulation of small arms and light weapons (SALW) and their excessive accumulation and uncontrolled spread in many regions of the world. They recognized the need to establish and maintain controls over private ownership of small arms. They called on all States, in particular major producing States, to ensure that the supply of small arms and light weapons is limited only to Governments or to entities duly authorized by Governments and to implement legal restrictions and prohibitions preventing the illicit trade of small arms and light weapons. They encouraged all initiatives by States to mobilize resources and expertise as well as to provide assistance to strengthen the full implementation of the UN Program of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in SALW in All Its Aspects.", "192. The Ministers emphasized the importance of a prompt and full implementation of the Programme of Action, and in this regard, stressed that international assistance and cooperation is an essential aspect in the full implementation of the Programme of Action.

The Ministers noted the fourth Biennial Meeting of States held in New York, from 14 to 18 June 2010 which considered the national, regional and global implementation of the Programme of Action. They encouraged all States to consider, as appropriate, the recommendations of the Final Document of the aforementioned Meeting, while emphasizing that the procedure followed to adopt the BMS 4 final outcome should not represent a precedent for the future. They reaffirmed the total validity of the Programme of Action and encouraged the NAM delegations to coordinate efforts in the UN with a view to reaching agreement on a follow-up to the Programme of Action in order to ensure its full implementation. They called for the full implementation of the international instrument to enable States to identify and trace in a timely and reliable manner the illicit small arms and light weapons, which was adopted by the General Assembly.", "193. The Ministers continued to deplore the use, in contravention of international humanitarian law of anti-personnel mines in conflict situations aimed at maiming, killing and terrorising innocent civilians, denying them access to farmland, causing famine and forcing them to flee their homes eventually leading to de-population and preventing the return of civilians to their place of original residence. They called upon all States in the position to do so, to provide the necessary financial, technical and humanitarian assistance to landmine clearance operations, the social and economic rehabilitation of victims as well as to ensure full access of affected countries to material equipment, technology and financial resources for mine clearance.", "194. The Ministers of the States Parties to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction (the Mine Ban Convention) invited those States that have not yet done so to consider becoming parties to the Convention.", "195. The Ministers expressed concern about the explosive remnants of the Second World War, particularly in the form of landmines which continue to cause human and material damage and obstruct development plans in some Non-Aligned Countries. They called on the States primarily responsible for laying these mines and leaving explosives outside their territories during Second World War to cooperate with the affected countries and provide mine action support to affected countries, including information exchange, maps indicating the locations of mines and explosives, technical assistance for mine clearance, defrayal of the costs of clearance and compensation for any losses caused by mines-laid.", "196. The Ministers of the States Parties to the Mine Ban Convention recognized the significance of the Second Review Conference held in Cartagena, Colombia, between 30 November and 4 December 2009.

The Ministers of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) considered the critical situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, in particular the grave situation of Palestinian political prisoners being detained or imprisoned by Israel, the occupying Power. The Ministers expressed grave concern that there are currently more than 6,000 Palestinians held in 22 prisons and detentions camps in Israel and in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and that 300 of these prisoners are children under the age of 18. The Ministers also expressed grave concern that among the prisoners were also 37 women as well as 10 members of the Palestinian Legislative Council.[31]", "2. The Ministers condemned the holding of the prisoners as a blatant contravention of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which governs situations of foreign occupation and which they reaffirmed is applicable to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, as affirmed in numerous Security Council, General Assembly and Human Rights Council resolutions as well as by the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion of July 2004. The Ministers conveyed their strong support for the need to raise awareness of and internationalize the issue of Palestinian political prisoners. They stressed that Palestinian political prisoners held by Israel, the occupying Power, should be treated as Prisoners of War, when applicable.", "3. The Ministers deplored that continuing arrests of Palestinian civilians, including through use of brutal force in military raids, the arbitrary use of administrative detentions, forcible interrogations and the transfer of prisoners to Israel. They condemned all such illegal policies and practices by Israel, the occupying Power, clearly aimed at intimidating, dehumanizing and subjugating the Palestinian people. They also condemned the extremely poor, unhygienic, undignified, and in some cases life-threatening conditions under which Palestinian prisoners are being held by the occupying Power. They expressed deep concern in particular at the situation of the most vulnerable groups in Israeli detention, including Palestinian women and children as well as ill, disabled and paralyzed Palestinian detainees and the policy of deliberate medical neglect, from which 200 persons have died. They condemned Israel’s continued use of torture and other international prohibited measures, which it authorizes through legislative and judicial decisions, as well as other forms of physical and psychological mistreatment against Palestinian prisoners, including the use of solitary confinement, which deprives Palestinian prisoners of most basic humanitarian needs.", "4. The Ministers noted the devastating effect of detention upon Palestinian prisoners and their families and stressed in this regard the urgent need for speedy reintegration of former prisoners into society. The Ministers condemned the Israeli practice of withholding the bodies of Palestinian prisoners who were killed or died while in Israeli detention and their burial in military graveyards.", "5. The Ministers stressed that under article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention the aforementioned Israeli practices constitute serious violations of international humanitarian law and in many cases amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity which, pursuant to article 146 of the same Convention, should be subject to international criminal prosecution, in accordance with universal jurisdiction, and referred in this regard to the relevant provisions of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.", "6. The Ministers demanded that Israel, the occupying Power to guarantee that appropriate standards of detention were maintained, that all detainees are brought to trial without delay, and that minors’ and prisoners’ visiting rights are guaranteed, in full compliance with international Treaties and Conventions, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the United Nations Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, to which Israel is State Party. In this regard, the Ministers commended the consistent and valuable work of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) aimed at alleviating the detrimental consequences of the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and detention facilities and inspecting their conditions, and called upon Israel to grant it the necessary access. In this connection, the Ministers stressed the need to ensure implementation of the World Health Organization resolution of May 2010, in which it decided that a fact-finding mission, including the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), be sent to investigate the deteriorating health conditions of prisoners.", "7. The Ministers demanded that Israel to release without any preconditions Palestinian prisoners arrested in relation to their activities opposing the occupation, so-called “political offenses” and that the occupying Power clearly and immediately define such “political offenses”. The Ministers furthermore demanded that Israel cease the arbitrary arrest of Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, as well as their unlawful transfer to prisons inside Israel.", "8. The Ministers expressed grave concern that, in most cases, prisoners are denied access to legal counsel as well as family visitation rights, contrary to international humanitarian and human rights law. They further expressed grave concern at Israel’s continued practice of administrative detention in violation of fundamental human rights, noting that Israel uses administrative detentions orders in a highly arbitrary manner, with the right to appeal, but without charge, trial or right to defense, with a total of 20,000 orders for administrative arrest issued since 2000. The Ministers called on Israel to fully respect the rule of law in its treatment of all Palestinian prisoners and detainees and to adhere to international standards for due process.", "9. The Ministers welcomed international efforts to raise awareness of the plight of the Palestinian political prisoners, including through the convening of the meetings held respectively in Algeria in December 2010 and in Morocco in January 2011, as well as the convening of the “United Nations International Meeting on Palestinian Political Prisoners” in Austria in March 2011. The Ministers endorsed the international calls for an immediate release of Palestinian political prisoners, including children and women, and for proper international inspection of their current conditions. They stressed that addressing the plight of these prisoners should be a priority for the United Nations General Assembly, Security Council, Human Rights organs and the international community. In this regard, the Ministers considered the proposal by the Minister of Prisoners Affairs of the Palestinian National Authority for international action with regard to the issue of Palestinian prisoners, including the possibility of requesting the General Assembly to adopt a resolution asking the International Court of Justice to issue an Advisory Opinion to determine the legal status of Palestinian prisoners and detainees held by the occupying Power and the nature of the legal responsibilities of the occupying Power and third parties by virtue of international law.", "10. The Ministers agreed that the issue of Palestinian prisoners has a major impact on both the Palestinian society and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and that this issue is a central one and practical and effective benchmark in the construction of a just peace in the region. In this context, the Ministers stressed that the release of a substantial number of Palestinian prisoners, as well as the immediate release of the arbitrarily, illegally imprisoned members of the Palestinian Legislative Council, could constitute a positive step towards fostering the climate of mutual trust necessary for the resumption of permanent status negotiations.", "11. The Ministers stressed the important role played by the United Nations and the international community at large in raising awareness of the question of Palestinian political prisoners imprisoned and detained by Israel and in calling for an urgent solution to this issue. They underscored the urgent need for and the obligation of the international community to use all available mechanisms to ensure the occupying Power’s compliance with international law. They urged all the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention to fulfill their obligation in accordance with common article 1 to respect and ensure respect for the Convention in all circumstances. The Ministers also urged the High Contracting Parties to take all appropriate steps for the convening of a Conference to address this serious issue.", "Annex IV", "XVI Ministerial Conference and CommemorativeMeeting of the Non-Aligned Movement Bali – Indonesia \n 23 – 27 May 2011", "Declaration on Palestine", "1. The Ministers of the Non-Aligned Movement Committee on Palestine considered with urgency the question of Palestine. They expressed deep regret that the question remains unresolved after the passage of more than sixty-three years since the 1948 Al-Nakba, by which the majority of the Palestinian people were expelled or fled from their homeland, becoming a stateless, dispossessed people, nearly five million of whom continue to tragically live in exile in refugee camps throughout the region, constituting the largest refugee population and most protracted refugee problem in the world. They also expressed deep regret that since 1967, for forty-four years, the Palestinian people have suffered under the brutal Israeli military occupation of their land and continue to be denied their fundamental human rights, including to self-determination and freedom, enduring constant hardship and affronts to their human dignity.", "2. The Ministers expressed grave concern about the critical political, socio-economic, human rights, humanitarian, and security situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, as a result of Israel’s continuing military occupation and illegal actions and provocations against the Palestinian people and their land. They expressed grave concern at and strongly condemned in particular Israel’s unlawful and aggressive use of military force against the defenseless Palestinian civilian population, including non-violent, peaceful protesters; settlement colonization campaign in the West Bank; blockade of the Gaza Strip; detention and imprisonment of thousands of Palestinians; and all other measures of collective punishment against the Palestinian people, constituting grave breaches of international humanitarian law and violations of human rights law and United Nations (UN) resolutions, for which the occupying Power must be held accountable.", "3. The Ministers expressed deep concern at the lack of progress in the Middle East peace process, stressing that the current dangerous impasse is the result of impunity and intransigence by Israel, the occupying Power, which continues to obstruct the achievement of a just, lasting, comprehensive and peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Arab-Israeli conflict as a whole. They underscored the grave impact of the continuation of this conflict on the prospects for realizing regional and international peace and security.", "4. In light of this disturbing situation, the Ministers stressed the importance of adhering to and upholding the principled positions and strategies adopted by the Movement and upholding the relevant UN resolutions regarding the question of Palestine. They reaffirmed their long-standing support and solidarity with the just cause of Palestine and their strong commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and their leadership. They underscored the need to continue providing political, economic and humanitarian support to assist the Palestinian people and to bolster their resilience towards the achievement of their national aspirations and inalienable human rights.", "5. The Ministers stressed the urgency of undertaking efforts to help advance a fair and credible peace process that is firmly based on the relevant UN resolutions, including Security Council resolutions 242, 338, 425, 1397, 1515 and 1850, the Madrid terms of reference, including the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Quartet Roadmap, bearing in mind the objective of achieving a peace settlement by September 2011. They stressed that the peace process must ensure an end to the occupation of the Palestinian Territory and the other Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967, including East Jerusalem; the exercise by the Palestinian people of their right to self-determination in an independent, sovereign and viable State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital; and a just solution for the plight of the Palestinian refugees based on General Assembly resolution 194 (III).", "6. The Ministers recalled the historic role and obligations of the international community, in particular the UN Security Council and General Assembly, in this regard. They called on the Security Council, considering its Charter authority for the maintenance of international peace and security, to uphold its responsibilities and to act forthwith to promote a just, lasting and comprehensive resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Arab-Israeli conflict. They expressed appreciation to the members of the NAM Caucus of the Council for their efforts concerning Palestine, and urged them to continue to be actively involved in order to enhance the role played by the Movement in the drive for peace. They called for the intensification of international and regional efforts, including by the Quartet, the League of Arab States and all other concerned Member States, with a view to realizing this year the achievement of a peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine in all its aspects.", "7. Turning to full consideration of the situation on the ground, the Ministers condemned all of Israel’s illegal policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, by which the occupying Power continues to commit human rights violations and war crimes and inflict immense suffering on the Palestinian people. They demanded that Israel immediately and fully cease all these violations of international law.", "8. The Ministers reiterated their strong condemnation of Israel’s unlawful campaign of settlement colonization in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around Occupied East Jerusalem, which continues in flagrant defiance of international law and the unanimous international calls for cessation. They reiterated the demand for the immediate, complete cessation of all Israeli settlement activities, which constitute grave breaches of international humanitarian law and flagrant defiance of UN resolutions, the 9 July 2004 International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion, and obligations under the Quartet Roadmap. They stressed the incompatibility of the peace process with colonization activities deliberately aimed at illegal acquisition and de facto annexation of more Palestinian land.", "9. The Ministers condemned Israel’s intensifying land confiscations; construction and expansion of settlements, settlement “outposts” and related infrastructure; transfer of more Israeli settlers; construction of the Wall; home demolitions; excavations; and imposition of arbitrary, racist residency and movement restrictions via a permit regime and hundreds of checkpoints. They condemned escalating violence and terror by radical, extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians and properties. They deplored the physical, economic and social devastation being caused by the Israeli settlements and settlers, the Wall and the checkpoints, which are fragmenting the Palestinian Territory into isolated, walled cantons; severing East Jerusalem from the rest of the Territory; displacing thousands of Palestinians; damaging the fabric of the Palestinian society; and destroying some communities in their entirety. They cautioned that Israel’s illegal colonization campaign is undermining the contiguity, integrity, viability and unity of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and gravely jeopardizing the prospects for physically achieving the two-State solution for peace on the basis of the pre-1967 borders.", "10. The Ministers expressed grave concern at the situation in Occupied East Jerusalem, where the Israeli colonization campaign is most intense, aimed at illegally altering the City’s demographic composition, character and legal status. They called for an immediate end to the construction of settlements and the Wall, home demolitions, evictions and excavations in and around the City, including near Al-Haram Al-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary); the closure of Palestinian institutions; the revocation of Palestinian residency rights, including military orders regarding deportations; settler violence; and all other measures aimed at de-populating the City of its Palestinian inhabitants and entrenching Israel’s illegal annexation of East Jerusalem, which is completely rejected and not recognized by the international community.", "11. The Ministers reaffirmed the validity of the relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions demanding the complete cessation of these illegal Israeli policies and practices. They called for full respect and implementation of those resolutions to bring an end to the Israeli settlement campaign in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, which remains the major obstacle to peace. They stressed the urgency of ending settlement activities also for promoting an environment conducive for the conduct of credible negotiations aimed at realizing the two-State solution on the basis of the 1967 borders. In this regard, they deplored the recent failure of the Security Council to uphold its responsibilities due to a veto by a permanent member, and reiterated the call for serious Council action to ensure compliance by Israel with relevant resolutions and all of its legal obligations.", "12. In this connection, the Ministers reiterated their call on the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention to uphold their obligations to respect and ensure respect of the Convention in all circumstances. They called upon Member States and the UN to uphold their obligations in accordance with the ICJ Advisory Opinion and the demands made in General Assembly resolution ES-10/15, including not to recognize the illegal situation resulting from the construction of the Wall or render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by such construction. They called upon the Security Council and General Assembly to consider further action to bring an end to the illegal situation resulting from the construction of the Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. They called again for the expeditious operation of the “United Nations Register of Damage” and the speedy fulfillment of its mandate. Moreover, they reiterated the call for specific actions to be taken, including legislative measures, collectively, regionally and individually by States, to prevent any products of Israeli settlements from entering their markets, consistent with obligations under international treaties; to decline entry to Israeli settlers; and to impose sanctions on companies and entities involved in the illegal construction of settlements and the Wall and other colonization activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.", "13. Turning to the grave situation in the Gaza Strip, the Ministers reiterated their strong condemnation of Israel’s military aggression of December 2008-January 2009, which caused death and injury to thousands of Palestinian civilians; vast destruction to tens of thousands of homes, economic and agricultural properties, vital civilian infrastructure, and UN facilities; and severe trauma among the civilian population. They reiterated the need to ensure accountability for the crimes committed by Israel, the occupying Power, against the Palestinian people in Gaza. They called on the international community, including the Security Council, to pursue serious efforts to end Israel’s impunity and to realize justice for the victims. They called for follow-up of the findings and recommendations of the UN Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict. They also reaffirmed the obligations of the High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions regarding penal sanctions, grave breaches and responsibilities, and called for the speedy reconvening of the Conference of High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention on measures to enforce the Convention in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and to ensure its respect in accordance with common article 1, as called for by relevant General Assembly and Human Rights Council resolutions.", "14. The Ministers reiterated their condemnation of Israel’s unlawful blockade of the Gaza Strip, by which it continues to collectively punish the Palestinian people and to obstruct the freedom of movement of the civilian population, humanitarian access, entry of essential goods, and the reconstruction of Gaza. They expressed deep concern about the dire humanitarian and socio-economic conditions caused by the blockade, including poverty, unemployment, declining health conditions, and decay of infrastructure and institutions in all sectors. They stressed the importance of the work of non-governmental organizations, civil society and peace groups, particularly on the Palestinian and Israeli sides, and encouraged them to continue to provide relief and assistance in Gaza.", "15. In this connection, the Ministers reiterated their condemnation of the Israeli military attack on 31 May 2010 in international waters on the maritime convoy of humanitarian aid destined for the Gaza Strip, “Gaza Freedom Flotilla”, in which nine Turkish civilians were killed. They stressed the need for an independent, impartial, credible and transparent international investigation of the Israeli attack in accordance with international standards on the basis of the call made by the Security Council on 1 June 2010. They welcomed the UN Secretary-General’s establishment of a Panel of Inquiry and the Human Rights Council’s Fact-Finding Mission and called for immediate follow-up action on the findings towards ensuring accountability for this deplorable attack.", "16. The Ministers reiterated the demand that Israel immediately and fully end its illegal blockade of Gaza in accordance with international humanitarian law, UN resolutions and the November 2005 Agreement on Movement and Access. They stressed the need to ensure the sustained and regular movement of persons and goods, including commercial flows, between Gaza and the outside world and to restore the link, unity and movement between Gaza and the West Bank, stressing that the Gaza Strip remains an integral part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory. In this connection, the Ministers welcomed the decision of the Egyptian Government to open the Rafah border crossing point, effective Saturday, 28^(th) May 2011. They also stressed the urgency of serious international efforts to compel Israel, the occupying Power, to allow for the entry of all necessary construction materials for reconstruction of destroyed Palestinian properties and infrastructure and UN facilities, including United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) schools. In this regard, they stressed the need for full support of the Agency to fulfil its mandate to provide assistance to the Palestine refugees in all fields of operation.", "17. The Ministers condemned the continuing arrests, arbitrary detentions and forced interrogations being carried out by Israel, the occupying Power. They expressed grave concern about the inhumane conditions under which Palestinian political prisoners are being held, including physical and mental ill-treatment, reported torture and denial of access to proper medical care and family visits. They reiterated the call for the immediate release of all the Palestinians illegally detained and imprisoned by Israel, including children, women and elected officials, and called for international access to them and proper inspection of their conditions. They welcomed the segment of the Ministerial Conference for examining the issue of the Palestinian political prisoners and raising international awareness and action on this critical issue.", "18. The Ministers reaffirmed their support for the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole and legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, and the Palestinian Authority under the leadership of President Mahmoud Abbas, and emphasized the importance of protecting and strengthening the national and democratic institutions of the Palestinian Authority, including the Palestinian Legislative Council, which shall constitute a vital foundation for the future independent Palestinian State. They reiterated the importance of Palestinian unity for the realization of the just, legitimate national rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people. In this connection, they welcomed the signing of the Reconciliation Agreement by all Palestinian political factions in Cairo, on 4 May 2011, aimed at ending the division since June 2007. They commended the serious efforts undertaken in this regard by the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt, the League of Arab States and all other concerned regional parties. They called on the international community to respect and support the Palestinian reconciliation, and stressed the importance of the implementation of the provisions of the Reconciliation Agreement as soon as possible. They further stressed the need for mobilization of all Palestinian capabilities to preserve the unity and integrity of the Palestinian Territory, end the occupation and achieve the independence.", "19. The Ministers stressed the need to support the rehabilitation and development of Palestinian national institutions. They called for the Movement to strongly support the efforts of Prime Minister Salam Fayyad to implement the plan launched in August 2009, “Palestine: Ending the Occupation, Establishing the State”, and looked forward to its completion in August 2011 with the implementation of the second phase, “Homestretch to Freedom”, paving the way for the independence of the State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital. In this regard, the Ministers strongly welcomed the important step recently taken by several States extending recognition to the State of Palestine on the basis of the 1967 borders. They urged the Members of the Movement that have not yet extended recognition to the State of Palestine to do so as soon as possible, consistent with the State-building efforts being undertaken on the ground and as a positive contribution towards making a reality Palestine’s independence on the basis of international law and UN resolutions.", "20. The Ministers called upon the Members of the Movement to remain at the forefront of support for the historic march of the Palestinian people to freedom and peace. They reaffirmed the long-standing international consensus recognizing the Palestinian people as a nation and recognizing their inalienable right to self-determination and independence in their State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital. They reaffirmed the permanent responsibility of the UN towards the question of Palestine until it is justly resolved in all its aspects on the basis of international law and called for the redoubling of international efforts to this end. They called once again on the UN, including the Security Council, to assume its responsibilities and act on the basis of its own resolutions to compel Israel to cease its illegal policies, respect international law and bring an end to its unlawful forty-four year occupation of the Palestinian and other Arab territories occupied since 1967. They stressed the importance of regular contacts and dialogue by the Movement at the Ministerial level with the members of the Security Council, the Quartet, and other relevant parties in the peace process in order to convey the Movement’s principled positions, uphold international law and UN resolutions, and promote the realization of a just, lasting, comprehensive and peaceful settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Arab-Israeli conflict as a whole.", "21. The Ministers in this context, stressed the importance of charting and implementing an action plan by the NAM Committee on Palestine, in coordination with other groupings, to intensify efforts towards universal recognition of the State of Palestine on the basis of the 1967 border with East Jerusalem as its capital, by members and non members of the Movement, and intensifying efforts with the Security Council, the General Assembly and the Secretary General of the United Nations, as well as the Quartet and other relevant parties towards the establishment of the Palestinian independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital, its recognition as a state and its admission as a Member of the United Nations as soon as possible. The Ministers stand ready to support the implementation of this action plan, including through convening a special meeting of the Committee, if needed, to continue engaging on this important issue.", "Annex V", "XVI Ministerial Conference and CommemorativeMeeting of the Non-Aligned Movement Bali – Indonesia \n 23 – 27 May 2011", "Statement on the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons", "The Ministers of the Non-Aligned Movement met at the XVI Ministerial Conference, in Bali, Indonesia, 25-27 May 2011, reiterated their deep concern at the threat to humanity posed by the continued existence of nuclear weapons and of their possible use or threat of use; and reaffirmed that nuclear disarmament remains the highest priority of the Movement in the field of disarmament.", "The Ministers underlined the importance of the active participation of the members of the Movement in elaborating concrete proposals to achieve Global Nuclear Disarmament and total elimination of nuclear weapons, with a specified framework of time.", "The Ministers, in the framework of the 50^(th) anniversary of the Non-Aligned Movement, declared their firm commitment to work for convening a high level international conference to identify ways and means of eliminating nuclear weapons at the earliest possible date, with the objective of an agreement on a phased programme for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons with a specified framework of time, to prohibit their development, production, acquisition, testing, stockpiling, transfer, use or threat of use, and to provide for their destruction.", "[1] The list of NAM Member Countries appears in Annex I.", "[2] The ten Founding Principles of NAM appears in Annex II.", "[3] The substantive documents adopted at the 15^(th) NAM Summit in Sharm El Sheikh are: the Sharm El Sheikh Final Document; the Sharm El Sheikh Declaration; the Special Declaration of the Heads of State and Government of the Non-Aligned Movement on the necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba; the Special Declaration on Nelson Mandela International Day – 18 July; the Declaration on Palestine; and the Sharm El Sheikh Plan of Action of the Non-Aligned Movement (2009-2012).

The Ministers of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries[1] met in Bali, Indonesia, on 25 and 26 May 2011, under the chairmanship of H.E. Mr. Marty Natalegawa, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, with the main purpose of reviewing the progress and implementation of the Sharm el-Sheikh Plan of Action adopted at the 15th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Non-Aligned Movement, held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on 15 and 16 July 2009, in preparation for the upcoming Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement to be held in Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran, in 2012, and to address current, new and emerging issues of common interest and interest. To this end, they reaffirmed and underscored the Movement ' s abiding faith in and firm commitment to its founding principles, [2] ideals and purposes, in particular the establishment of a peaceful and prosperous world and a just and just world order, as well as the purposes and principles enshrined in the UN Charter.", "2. The Ministers reaffirmed the continued relevance and validity of all the Movement ' s principled positions and decisions contained in the 15th NAM Summit, held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, from 15 to 16 July 2009, and the substantive outcomes of the 14 previous NAM Summits, as well as all previous NAM Ministerial Meetings, including the Sharm el-Sheikh Final Document and the Sharm el-Sheikh Declaration. In the same vein, they expressed their determination to uphold and act in accordance with the Bandung Principles and the purposes and principles of the Movement in the current international situation as agreed in the Declaration on the Purposes and Principles and the Role of the Movement in the Present International Juncture adopted by the 14th NAM Summit in Havana.", "3. The Ministers acknowledged the report of the Chair of the Non-Aligned Movement on the activities undertaken by the Movement from the 15th Summit held in Sharm el-Sheikh to date, which describes the significant progress made in the implementation of the NAM Plan of Action as set out in the Sharm el-Sheikh Final Document and the Sharm el-Sheikh Declaration, which has made a positive contribution to the process of strengthening and revitalizing the Movement.", "2.", "Chapter I: Global issues", "Review of the international situation", "4. The Ministers stressed that the current global situation poses great challenges to the Non-Aligned Countries in the areas of peace and security, economic development and social progress, human rights and the rule of law. They affirmed that many new areas of concern and challenges have emerged, in particular the current global financial and economic crisis, requiring a renewed commitment by the international community to support and protect the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and the principles of international law. In taking stock of developments at the international level since the 15th Summit of Heads of State or Government of the Non-Aligned Movement, the Ministers noted that the collective aspirations of the Movement to a peaceful and prosperous world and a just and just world order remain hampered by some fundamental obstacles. These obstacles take the form of, inter alia, the serious negative impact of the global financial and economic crisis on economic growth and development in developing countries, which could lead to increasing poverty and deprivation in those countries, the continued lack of resources and underdevelopment in the vast majority of the developing world, and, on the one hand, the continuing inequality of terms of trade, the lack of cooperation by developed countries and the imposition of coercive and unilateral measures by some developed countries. Rich and powerful countries continue to play a disproportionate role in determining the nature and direction of international relations, including economic and trade relations, as well as the rules governing those relations, many at the expense of developing countries.", "5. The Ministers reaffirmed that the efforts of the Movement will remain guided by its founding principles, the principles contained in the Declaration on the Purposes and Principles and the Role of the Movement in the Present International Juncture, the Charter of the United Nations and international law adopted by the 14th NAM Summit in Havana. To that end, the Movement will continue to support the principles of sovereignty and sovereign equality of States, territorial integrity and non-interference in the internal affairs of any State; take effective measures to suppress acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, to preserve, promote and encourage the peaceful settlement of international disputes in such a manner that international peace and security, as well as justice, are not endangered; refrain in international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations; develop friendly relations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and the right of peoples to self-determination in resistance to foreign occupation; achieve international cooperation based on solidarity among peoples and Governments in solving international problems of a political, economic, social, cultural or humanitarian character; and promote and encourage respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion.", "6. The Ministers noted that existing, new and emerging threats and challenges, including the multiple, interrelated and mutually reinforcing global crises, continue to hamper the efforts of States to achieve greater economic development and social progress, peace and security, and the enjoyment of human rights and the rule of law. International peace and security remain elusive for humankind as a result of, inter alia, the increasing tendency of certain States to resort to unilateralism and unilaterally imposed measures, non-compliance with their commitments and obligations under the relevant legally binding international instruments, in particular treaties on weapons of mass destruction and traditional weapons, terrorism, conflicts, violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, the application of double standards in international relations and the continued failure and unwillingness of the vast majority of developed countries to fulfil their commitments in the economic and social fields. They stressed that the international community must work together to remedy these situations in accordance with the UN Charter and the principles of international law.", "7. The Ministers stressed that globalization continues to provide opportunities for the future and self-reliance of developing countries, while also posing challenges and risks. The process of globalization and trade liberalization has produced uneven benefits among and within countries, while the global economy is characterized by slow and uneven growth and instability. Moreover, this process makes developing countries increasingly vulnerable to the adverse effects of the financial and economic crisis. The current form of globalization perpetuates and even increases the marginalization of developing countries. Globalization must therefore be transformed into a positive force that transformed the lives of everyone, favoured all countries and promoted prosperity and empowerment in developing countries, rather than persistent poverty and dependence on developed countries. In addition, greater efforts should be made to develop a global strategy that prioritizes the development dimension in global processes and relevant multilateral institutions in order to enable developing countries to benefit from the opportunities offered by globalization and trade liberalization, including through the creation of a favourable external economic environment for development, which requires greater coherence among the international trading, monetary and financial systems, making them universal, open, equitable, non-coercive, rule-based, predictable and non-discriminatory.", "8. The ICT revolution continues to change the world at a rapid and fundamental level and has created a huge and growing digital divide between developed and developing countries. If developing countries were to benefit from the globalization process, the gap must be bridged. These new technological innovations should be made more accessible to developing countries in order to modernize and revitalize their economies and pursue development goals and the well-being of their people. In that context, achieving those goals required an enabling international environment and the commitment of countries, particularly developed countries. In addition, the Movement stresses the need to prevent all discriminatory practices and policies that impede the access of developing countries to the benefits of information and communication technologies and to networks established by developed countries.", "9. As in the past, many challenges and opportunities will arise. The Non-Aligned Movement must remain strong, united and dynamic in order to meet those challenges and opportunities and to preserve its historic heritage. The continued relevance and effectiveness of the Non-Aligned Movement will depend to a large extent on the unity and solidarity of each NAM member State and its ability to positively influence these changes. In this regard, the process of revitalizing and strengthening the Non-Aligned Movement must continue and be consolidated.", "The Ministers recalled the decisions of the Summit of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) held in Algiers in July 1999, which called for the restoration of the constitutional legitimacy of those countries whose Governments are in power through non-constitutional means, as well as the principles contained in the Constitutive Act of the African Union adopted in Lomé in 2000, and in this context encouraged the Non-Aligned Countries to continue to uphold the concept of democracy consistent with the founding principles of the Movement.", "The Ministers welcomed the designation by the UN General Assembly of 22 April as International Mother Earth Day and recognized the Earth and its ecosystems as the home of humankind. They agreed to raise awareness of the matter.", "Non-Aligned Movement: role and methods of work", "12. While recognizing the aspirations of their peoples, the Ministers reaffirmed the Movement ' s commitment to and full respect for the Bandung Principles and those contained in the Declaration on the Purposes and Principles and the Role of the Movement in the Present International Juncture adopted at the Havana Summit, the UN Charter and its unshakeable political and moral commitment and determination to preserve and promote, in order to further consolidate and strengthen the Movement ' s role and position as the main political platform representing developing countries in multilateral fora, in particular the UN. Against this background, they stressed that the realization of the principles, ideals and purposes of the Movement depends on unity, unity and cohesion among its members, based on mutual respect, respect for diversity and tolerance.", "The Ministers reaffirmed that due consideration should be given to maximizing the ability of the Movement to address the rapidly evolving international situation, crises and challenges in the follow-up to the Sharm el-Sheikh Declaration and the documents adopted by previous NAM Summits and Ministerial Conferences, which embody the Movement's institutional status on a wide range of international issues.", "The Ministers decided that the Movement shall express its solidarity with the affected countries through the provision of moral, material and other forms of assistance if any member of the Movement suffers damage, whether of an economic, political or military nature, or security nature, and if a member suffers damage as a result of the imposition of unilateral sanctions or embargoes. To this end, the Ministers will continue to review the existing mechanisms of the Movement and, if necessary, explore new mechanisms to provide such assistance.", "The Ministers recalled that the Movement has for many years been playing a key active and effective role in issues of interest and importance to its members, such as decolonization, apartheid, the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, the maintenance of international peace and security, and disarmament. After almost half a century of existence and after many challenges and upheavals, it is time to sustain and further consolidate the process of strengthening and revitalizing the Non-Aligned Movement, while continuing to act to enable the Movement to respond effectively to the main challenges of today and to foster a common vision for the future. Against the background of existing and emerging threats and challenges, the Movement must continue to promote multilateralism, in particular by strengthening the central role of the United Nations, including global governance, safeguarding the interests of developing countries and preventing their marginalization.", "The Ministers welcomed the initiative of the Arab Republic of Egypt to hold the First Ladies Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in the context of the 15th Summit of the Movement, held in Sharm el-Sheikh on 15-16 July 2009, on the theme “The role of women in crisis management” and the 2nd Summit of the First Ladies of the Non-Aligned Movement, held in conjunction with the World Food Summit, held in Rome on 15 November 2009, on the theme “Food security and women's access to resources”, which reflects the importance that the Movement attaches to the active and equal participation of women in resolving the current international crisis and challenges.", "17. The Ministers, recognizing the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Movement in 2011, expressed their satisfaction with the achievements and achievements of the Movement over the past 50 years in upholding and promoting its ideals, principles and purposes and in addressing the collective concerns and interests of its members. They recognized the wisdom and vision of the founders, the leaders of the founding nations[6] and other late leaders of the Movement and reaffirmed the Movement ' s commitment to uphold, support and further consolidate its principles, ideals and purposes.", "18. In this regard, and in line with the directive of the 15th NAM Summit to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the Movement in 2011 to highlight the achievements of the Movement and further enhance its future role, the Ministers expressed appreciation for the generosity of the Republic of Indonesia, the birthplace of the Bandung Principles, which will host the 50th Anniversary of the Movement on 25 May 2011, as well as the 16th NAM Ministerial Conference, with a view to adopting a commemorative declaration on the achievements of the Movement over the past 50 years and a plan of action for further achievements in the future, to ensure that the Movement continues to play an active and revitalized role in a rapidly changing world.", "The Ministers also welcomed the offer of the Republic of Serbia to organize a separate official commemorative meeting at the ministerial level, open to all other interested NAM Member States and observers, for the former Chair of the Movement in Baghdad on 5 and 6 September 2011, to celebrate the venue and historical heritage of this city, which hosted the 1st NAM Summit in 1961.

Instead of excessive and rapid use of Chapter VII, efforts should be made to make full use of the provisions of Chapters VI and VIII for the peaceful settlement of disputes.

Sanctions were a clumsy tool, and their use raised fundamental ethnic questions, such as whether suffering to vulnerable groups in the target country was a legitimate means of exerting pressure. Sanctions are not intended to punish or to extract rewards from the general population. In that regard, the purpose of sanctions regimes should be clearly defined and, at the same time, sanctions should be imposed on a reasonable and legitimate basis within a specific time frame and lifted as soon as their objectives were achieved. The conditions required by the State or party imposing the sanctions should be clearly defined and subject to periodic review. In accordance with the Charter, sanctions may be imposed only in the event of a threat to international peace and security or an act of aggression, and do not apply to “preventive” sanctions in cases of only violations of international law, norms or standards. Targeted sanctions may be a better option as long as the target country ' s population is not directly or indirectly affected;", "6.

The Council must comply with the provisions of Article 31 of the Charter, which allow any non-members of the Council to participate in discussions on issues affecting them.

They noted that this initiative is beneficial to the work of the CD and provides a good basis for future discussions aimed at adopting a binding international instrument.", "The Ministers remained of the view that there is a need for a multilaterally negotiated, universal, comprehensive, transparent and non-discriminatory approach to the issue of missiles in all its aspects as a contribution to international peace and security. They expressed support for the continued efforts of the UN to further explore the issue of missiles in all its aspects. In that regard, they stressed that the peaceful use of space technology, including space launch vehicle technologies, could contribute to human progress, such as data collection in telecommunications operations and natural disasters. They also stressed the need to include the issue of missiles in all its aspects in the agenda of the UN General Assembly and welcomed the successful work of the Panel of Governmental Experts established pursuant to General Assembly Resolution 59/67 in 2008 and its report to the 63rd Session of the UN General Assembly. Pending the establishment of such a universal mechanism for delivery systems for weapons of mass destruction, action should be taken to address these concerns effectively and in a sustained and comprehensive manner through an inclusive negotiating process in a forum in which all States can participate on an equal footing. They stressed that an approach by States that takes into account regional and global security concerns is essential for a comprehensive solution to the issue of missiles.", "The Ministers considered that the establishment of nuclear-weapon-free zones in accordance with the Treaties of Tlatelolco, Rarotonga, Bangkok, Pelindaba and Central Asia and the establishment of Mongolia's nuclear-weapon-free status are positive steps and important measures to strengthen global nuclear disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation. They welcomed the entry into force of the Treaty on a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in Central Asia on 21 March 2009 and the entry into force of the African Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty on 15 July 2009 as an effective contribution to strengthening regional and global peace and stability. They reiterated that, in the case of nuclear-weapon-free zones, nuclear-weapon States must provide unconditional assurances against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons against all States in the region. They urged the States of the region concerned to conclude agreements freely with a view to establishing new NWFZs in areas where they do not exist, in accordance with the provisions of the Final Document of the First Special Session of the General Assembly devoted to Disarmament (SSOD I) and the principles adopted by the UN Disarmament Commission in 1999.", "156. They recalled the convening and outcome of the Second Conference of States Parties and Signatories to Treaties that Establish Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zones and Mongolia, held in New York on 30 April 2010, and called upon States Parties and Signatories to Treaties that Establish Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zones to further develop cooperation among themselves, their treaty bodies and other interested States in various ways and means. They expressed support for Mongolia ' s policy of institutionalizing its nuclear-weapon-free status and the measures taken by Mongolia to consolidate and strengthen that status. In this regard, they welcomed the commencement of talks between Mongolia and its two neighbouring countries to conclude the required legal instruments and expressed the hope that an international instrument to institutionalize the nuclear-weapon-free status would be concluded as soon as possible.", "The Ministers affirmed their support for the establishment in the Middle East of a zone free of all weapons of mass destruction. To that end, they reaffirmed, as a priority step, the need to accelerate the establishment of a NWFZ in the Middle East in accordance with Security Council resolution 487 (1981) and paragraph 14 of Security Council resolution 687 (1991) and relevant General Assembly resolutions adopted by consensus. They called upon all parties concerned to take practical steps as soon as possible to implement Iran ' s 1974 proposal for the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone, pending which they demanded that Israel, the only country in the region that has not acceded to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) nor declared its intention to do so, renounce possession of nuclear weapons, accede to the NPT without delay and promptly place all its nuclear facilities under the full-scope safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in accordance with Security Council Resolution 487 (1981), while carrying out its nuclear-related activities in accordance with the requirements of the non-proliferation regime. They called for the early implementation of the relevant IAEA resolutions on “Application of IAEA Safeguards in the Middle East”. They expressed great concern over the acquisition of nuclear capabilities by Israel, which poses a continuing and serious threat to the security of neighbouring and other States. They condemned Israel for continuing to develop and stockpile nuclear arsenals. In this context, they also condemned the statement made by the then Prime Minister of Israel on 11 December 2006 regarding Israel ' s possession of nuclear weapons. They urged continued consideration of Israel ' s nuclear capabilities at the IAEA, including at its General Conference. They were of the view that stability cannot be achieved in a region where serious imbalances in military capabilities persist, particularly when one side possesses nuclear weapons that pose a threat to its neighbours and the region as a whole. They also welcomed the initiative of the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt to establish a zone free of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. In that context, they took into account the draft resolution submitted to the Security Council on 29 December 2003 by the Syrian Arab Republic on behalf of the Arab Group on the establishment of a zone free of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. They stressed that the necessary steps should be taken in different international fora to promote the establishment of a zone free of weapons of mass destruction. They also called for a complete ban on the transfer to Israel of all nuclear-related equipment, information, material, facilities, resources or devices and on the provision of assistance to Israel in the field of nuclear science and technology. In this regard, they expressed their grave concern over the continued access of Israeli scientists to the nuclear facilities of a NWS. This situation could have a serious negative impact on security in the Middle East and on the reliability of the global non-proliferation regime.", "The Ministers reiterated their support for the efforts of the Arab Group in Vienna to ensure the continued consideration of the issue of Israeli nuclear capabilities at the IAEA General Conference.", "The Ministers emphasized the Movement ' s principled position on the non-use or threat of use of force against the territorial integrity of any State.

In this regard, they welcomed the adoption without a vote of General Assembly resolution 65/53 on this issue. They reaffirmed that international disarmament forums, in negotiating treaties and agreements on disarmament and arms limitation, should take fully into account the relevant environmental norms and that all States should take action to fully ensure the implementation of the treaties and conventions to which they are party in accordance with those norms.", "The Ministers stressed the importance of United Nations activities at the regional level to enhance the stability and security of Member States. In order to effectively enhance such stability and security, the three existing regional centres for peace and disarmament should be maintained and revitalized.", "The Ministers of the States Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) reaffirmed the package of agreements of the 1995 NPT Review and Extension Conference and the Final Document of the 2000 NPT Review Conference, and recognized the important role of the NPT in nuclear disarmament, nuclear non-proliferation and the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and considered that the “Conclusions and Recommendations on Follow-up” of the 2010 NPT Review Conference reflect an outcome that can be relied upon and further strengthened in the near future to comprehensively address the priorities of the Movement, in particular the achievement of a nuclear-weapon-free State. They called upon the NWS to comply fully and effectively with their obligations under the Treaty, in particular with regard to nuclear disarmament, as well as the outcomes of the Review Conferences, in particular the 1995 Review and Extension Conference, the 2000 Review Conference and the 2010 Review Conference.", "165. The Ministers of the States Parties to the NPT stressed the importance of the review of the operation of the Treaty in the framework of the NPT Review Conference and, in this context, stressed that, while the conclusions in the Final Document of the 2010 NPT Review Conference were considered part of the Chair ' s opinion rather than consensus language, this could not be considered to set a precedent for the future without prejudice to the pre-review of the Review Conference.", "164. The Ministers of the States Parties to the NPT commended the assumption of the presidency of the 2010 NPT Review Conference by H.E. Libran Cabactulan of the Philippines, and called for the active participation of the Non-Aligned States Parties to the NPT in its deliberations. They stressed the importance of implementing the Plan of Action adopted by the Review Conference on nuclear disarmament, nuclear non-proliferation, peaceful uses of nuclear energy and implementation of the 1995 Resolution on the Middle East. The Ministers noted with concern the lack of agreement among the Non-Aligned States Parties to the NPT on several key priorities, in particular the commencement of negotiations on a nuclear weapons convention and the commencement of negotiations on a legally binding legal instrument on unconditional negative security assurances to non-nuclear-weapon States. The Ministers of those States Parties to the NPT agreed to continue their collective efforts to advance the aforementioned NAM priorities in the next review process.", "In this context, the Ministers of the States Parties to the NPT welcomed the adoption by consensus of the detailed plan of action on “The Middle East, in particular the implementation of the 1995 Resolution on the Middle East” in the “Conclusions and Recommendations on Follow-up” of the 2010 NPT Review Conference. The Ministers urged the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the co-sponsors of the 1995 Resolution to undertake, immediately after consultations with the States of the region, the necessary preparations for convening a conference in 2012 with the participation of all States of the Middle East on the establishment of a Middle East zone free of nuclear weapons and all other weapons of mass destruction. They stressed the importance of the full implementation of all aspects of the agreed Plan of Action and the active and constructive participation of all parties concerned so that the Conference could successfully launch a regional negotiation process aimed at fully realizing the objectives of the 1995 Resolution and establishing a zone free of nuclear weapons and all other weapons of mass destruction.", "167. The Ministers of the States Parties to the NPT, after close consultation and coordination with the States of the Middle East, expressed their deep concern over the delay in the implementation of the measures contained in the action plan adopted by the 2010 NPT Review Conference on the implementation of the 1995 resolution on the Middle East. They strongly urged the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the three co-sponsors of the 1995 Resolution on the Middle East to begin immediately the full implementation of the Plan of Action on the Middle East. They stressed the importance of the immediate appointment of the facilitator, the designation of the host country and the confirmation of the date of the meeting. The Ministers requested the Secretary-General to carry out his mandate to convene the Conference and to do his utmost with a view to convening the Conference as soon as possible before the first Preparatory Committee for the 2015 NPT Review Conference, to be held in May 2012.

They called on Israel to accede to the NPT as the only non-nuclear-weapon State in the Middle East without delay.", "169. The Ministers of the States Parties to the NPT reiterated their call for the firm commitment of all States Parties to the Treaty to implement the provisions of the Treaty and called for the full implementation of the 13 practical steps for the systematic and progressive efforts to implement article VI of the Treaty, in particular the unequivocal undertaking by the Nuclear Weapon States to accomplish the total elimination of their nuclear arsenals leading to nuclear disarmament. Pending the total elimination of nuclear weapons, they also recalled that the Final Document of the 2000 NPT Review Conference reaffirmed that legally binding security assurances by the five NWS to the non-NWS parties to the Treaty would strengthen the nuclear non-proliferation regime. They highlighted the practical steps for progressive efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons agreed by consensus at the 2010 NPT Review Conference; the implementation of the resolution on the Middle East adopted by the 1995 NPT Review and Extension Conference and the resolution on an international instrument on unconditional security assurances to non-nuclear-weapon States.", "170.

They continued to note with concern that undue restrictions continue to be placed on exports of materials, equipment and technology to developing countries for peaceful purposes. They again stressed that proliferation concerns can best be addressed through multilaterally negotiated, universal, comprehensive and non-discriminatory agreements. Non-proliferation control arrangements should be transparent and open to the participation of all States parties and should ensure that they did not restrict the access of developing countries to the materials, equipment and technology needed for peaceful purposes so that they could continue to develop. The Ministers expressed their full confidence in the impartiality and professionalism of the IAEA and strongly rejected any attempt by any State to politicize the work of the IAEA, including its Technical Cooperation Programme, in violation of the Statute of the IAEA, as well as any attempt to exert undue pressure or interfere in the activities of the Agency, which would reduce the efficiency and credibility of the Agency.", "172. The Ministers of the States Parties to the NPT again stressed that nothing in the Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all States Parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity with articles I, II, III and IV of the Treaty. They stressed that this right is one of the fundamental objectives of the Treaty. In this regard, they recognised that the choices and decisions made by States in the field of peaceful uses of nuclear energy should be respected without prejudice to their policies or international cooperation agreements and arrangements for peaceful uses of nuclear energy and their nuclear fuel cycle policies.", "In particular, the Ministers stressed the responsibility of developed countries to promote the legitimate needs of developing countries for nuclear energy, to allow them to participate fully for peaceful purposes in the transfer of nuclear equipment, nuclear materials and nuclear scientific and technological information, with a view to maximizing benefits, and to integrate relevant elements of sustainable development into their activities.", "The Ministers noted the adoption by vote by the IAEA Board of Governors in 2010 of two proposals on multilateral solutions to the nuclear fuel cycle.

They reiterated their call on the developed countries to promote international cooperation for the benefit of the States Parties, to transfer technology, materials and equipment in the chemical field for peaceful purposes and to remove all discriminatory restrictions contrary to the letter and spirit of the Convention. They recalled that the full, balanced, effective and non-discriminatory implementation of the provisions of the Convention, in particular those relating to economic and technological development, through international cooperation, is essential for the achievement of its object and purpose. They expressed their deep concern at the recent implication by certain possessor States Parties that they will not meet their obligations regarding the deadline for the total destruction of chemical weapons and that, as of 31 January 2011, more than 36.28 per cent of chemical weapons remain undestructed, and called upon declared possessors to ensure full and complete compliance with the final extended deadline for the destruction of chemical weapons (29 April 2012) in order to preserve the credibility and unity of the Convention.

They also cautioned against the Security Council continuing to use its authority to prescribe the legislative requirements of Member States in implementing Security Council decisions. In this regard, the Ministers stressed that the General Assembly should take an inclusive approach to addressing the issue of non-state actors acquiring weapons of mass destruction, taking into account the views of all Member States.", "The Ministers, bearing in mind the threat posed to mankind by existing weapons of mass destruction, in particular nuclear weapons, stressed the need for their total elimination, while reiterating the need to prevent the emergence of new types of weapons of mass destruction, supported the need to monitor the situation and to undertake international action as needed.", "The Ministers reaffirmed the sovereign right of States to acquire, produce, export, import and retain conventional arms for self-defence and security needs.

The Ministers took note of the Fourth Biennial Meeting of States held in New York from 14 to 18 June 2010, which considered the national, regional and global implementation of the Programme of Action. They encouraged States to consider, as appropriate, the recommendations of the Final Document of the above-mentioned Conference, while stressing that the procedure followed for the adoption of the Final Document of the Fourth Biennial Meeting of States Parties should not constitute a precedent for the future. They reaffirmed the full validity of the Programme of Action and encouraged NAM delegations to coordinate their efforts at the UN in order to reach agreement on the follow-up to the Programme of Action and to ensure its full implementation.

To that end, they urged all States to devise, enforce and strengthen effective measures to combat and eliminate all forms of slavery and trafficking in persons in order to eliminate the demand for victims of trafficking, protect victims and bring perpetrators to justice.", "The Ministers also recognized that 2010 marks the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its Protocols, in particular the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (Palermo Protocol), and in this regard welcomed the co-sponsorship by Egypt and the UN Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking in December 2010 of the Luxor International Forum “Stop Trafficking in Persons Now: Implementing the United Nations Protocol”, with a view to promoting dialogue, highlighting priority issues and mobilizing political support at the highest level in order to engage in concrete actions to achieve complementarity of legal and cooperation frameworks and to enhance the participation of the private sector, civil society and non-governmental organizations to combat trafficking in persons.", "The Ministers also welcomed the signing by the private sector of the Guidelines for the Implementation of the Athens Ethical Principles Luczo: Full Compliance with the Business Plan — the “Luxo Protocol” with a view to promoting its contribution to the elimination of human trafficking worldwide, as well as the launch of an e-learning tool on human trafficking, an e-training programme, to raise awareness among global business people to work with UN.GIFT and Microsoft.", "The Ministers reiterated their invitation to all States that have not yet done so to consider becoming parties to the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, and to implement it effectively when it enters into force, including by incorporating its provisions into national legislation and by strengthening criminal justice systems.

In view of the cross-border and global nature of illicit drug trafficking and the serious threat it poses to the international community as a whole, the Ministers expressed their grave concern at the worsening problem of illicit drug trafficking worldwide. They reaffirmed the need for effective measures to prevent, combat and eradicate the world drug problem in all its aspects. They also recognized that no single Government could successfully combat that threat on its own, since criminal organizations linked to drug trafficking operated together in the territory of several States and their trafficking channels and distribution methods were becoming increasingly complex, so that cooperation, coordination and specialized action by all States were key to curbing that crime. The world drug problem currently threatened public health and the socio-economic stability of States.", "605. In line with the above positions, the Ministers reaffirmed that the fight against drug trafficking worldwide is a common and shared responsibility that needs to be addressed in a multilateral framework, which can be effectively addressed only through active international cooperation, and that it requires an integrated and balanced solution that fully respects the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and other provisions of international law, in particular respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States and non-interference in their internal affairs, and is based on the principles of equal rights and mutual respect. At the same time, the Heads of State and Government expressed concern over the financial situation of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, although they welcomed the draft resolution on “Readjustment of the functions of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the revision of the strategic framework” adopted by the General Assembly at its fifty-third session on the recommendation of the Council.", "The Ministers called for increased efforts to prevent and combat the world drug problem in all its aspects, including demand reduction.

Consistent with the above position, the Ministers placed particular emphasis on the implementation of the provisions on asset recovery contained in chapter V of the United Nations Convention against Corruption, which require Member States to return property acquired through corruption. The Ministers stressed that one of the immediate priorities in the fight against corruption is to ensure the return of illicitly acquired assets to the countries of origin.

We are committed to the eradication of poverty and to a balance between economic growth, social development and environmental protection, the three inseparable pillars of sustainable development.", "We reaffirm our commitment to strengthen the collective action of the Non-Aligned Movement and its leadership role in defending and advancing the interests of developing countries.

The Ministers expressed grave concern that more than 6,000 Palestinians are currently being held in 22 prisons and detention camps in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, of whom 300 are children under the age of 18. The Ministers also expressed grave concern that 37 women and 10 members of the Palestinian Legislative Council are among the prisoners. [31]", "The Ministers condemned the detention of prisoners in flagrant violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which governs situations of foreign occupation, and reaffirmed its applicability to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, as affirmed in numerous Security Council, General Assembly and Human Rights Council resolutions and the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice of July 2004. The Ministers expressed their full support for the need to raise awareness and internationalize the issue of Palestinian political prisoners. They stressed that Palestinian political prisoners held by Israel, the occupying Power, should be treated as prisoners of war, as appropriate.", "The Ministers strongly rejected the continued arrest of Palestinian civilians, including through the use of brutal force for military attacks, arbitrary use of administrative detention, forced interrogation and transfer of prisoners to Israel. They condemned all these illegal policies and practices by Israel, the occupying Power, which are clearly aimed at terrorizing, dehumanizing and suppressing the Palestinian people. They also condemned the fact that the occupying Power was holding Palestinian prisoners in extremely harsh, unsanitary, degrading and, in some cases, life-threatening conditions. They expressed grave concern in particular at the situation of the most vulnerable groups of Israeli detainees, including Palestinian women and children, as well as Palestinian detainees who are ill, disabled and paralysed, and at the deliberate policy of medical neglect, which has resulted in the death of 200 prisoners. They condemned Israel ' s continued use of torture and other international prohibitions and other forms of physical and mental ill-treatment of Palestinian prisoners, including the use of solitary confinement, through legislative and judicial decisions, which deprive Palestinian prisoners of their most basic humanitarian needs.", "The Ministers, noting the devastating impact of detention on Palestinian prisoners and their families, stressed in this regard the urgent need for the rapid reintegration of released prisoners into society. The Ministers condemned Israel ' s practice of detaining the bodies of Palestinian prisoners killed or killed in Israeli detention and burying them in military graves.", "The Ministers stressed that, in accordance with Article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, the above-mentioned Israeli practices constitute grave breaches of international humanitarian law and, in many cases, constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, according to Article 146 of the Convention, in accordance with universal jurisdiction and, in this regard, invoking the relevant provisions of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, are subject to international criminal proceedings.", "The Ministers demanded that Israel, the occupying Power, comply fully with the international treaties and conventions to which it is a party, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and ensure that appropriate standards of detention are maintained, that all detainees are tried without delay and that visiting rights for minors and prisoners are guaranteed. In this regard, the Ministers commended the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for its constant and valuable work aimed at alleviating the devastating consequences of the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons and detention facilities and at examining their conditions of detention, and called upon Israel to grant them the necessary access. In this regard, the Ministers stressed the need to ensure the implementation of the May 2010 resolution of the World Health Organization (WHO) which decided to dispatch a fact-finding mission, including the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), to investigate the deteriorating state of health of prisoners.", "The Ministers demanded that Israel unconditionally release Palestinian prisoners arrested for their participation in the opposition to the occupation (so-called “political crimes”) and that the occupying Power define these “political crimes” clearly and immediately. The Ministers also demanded that Israel cease its arbitrary arrests of Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and their illegal transfer to Israeli domestic prisons.", "The Ministers expressed grave concern that in most cases prisoners do not have access to legal counsel and family and friends ' visiting rights, in violation of international humanitarian law and human rights law. They further expressed grave concern at the continued practice of administrative detention by Israel in violation of fundamental human rights, noting that administrative detention orders were used in an extremely arbitrary manner, with the right to appeal without the right to prosecution, the right to trial and the right to defence. A total of 20,000 administrative arrest warrants have been issued since 2000. The Ministers called upon Israel to treat all Palestinian prisoners and detainees with full respect for the rule of law and international standards of due process.", "The Ministers welcomed the various international efforts aimed at raising awareness of the plight of Palestinian political prisoners, including the meetings held in Algeria in December 2010 and in Morocco in January 2011 and the convening of the “United Nations International Conference on Palestinian Political Prisoners” in Austria in March 2011. The Ministers supported the international call for the immediate release of Palestinian political prisoners, including women and children, and for an appropriate international inquiry into their current situation. They stressed that addressing the plight of these prisoners should be a priority for the General Assembly, the Security Council, human rights bodies and the international community. In this regard, the Ministers considered a proposal by the Minister of Prisoners ' Affairs of the Palestinian National Authority for international action on the issue of Palestinian prisoners, including the possibility of requesting the General Assembly to adopt a resolution requesting the International Court of Justice to issue an advisory opinion determining the legal status of Palestinian prisoners and detainees held by the occupying Power and the nature of the legal responsibilities of the occupying Power and third parties under international law.", "The Ministers agreed that the issue of Palestinian prisoners has had a significant impact on Palestinian society and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is a central issue and a benchmark for building a just peace in the region. In this context, the Ministers stressed that the release of a large number of Palestinian prisoners and the immediate release of members of the Palestinian Legislative Council who had been arbitrarily and illegally imprisoned was a positive step towards fostering a climate of mutual trust, which was necessary for the resumption of permanent status negotiations.", "The Ministers stressed the important role of the United Nations and the wider international community in raising awareness of the issue of Palestinian political prisoners imprisoned and detained by Israel and in calling for an immediate solution to this issue. They stressed the urgent need and obligation of the international community to use all available mechanisms to ensure compliance by the occupying Power with international law.

The Ministers of the Non-Aligned Movement Committee on Palestine have given urgent consideration to the question of Palestine. They expressed their deep regret that, 63 years after the 1948 holocaust of the Palestinian people, the question of Palestine remains unresolved. The Holocaust had driven the majority of the Palestinian people out of their homes and had become a people deprived of their country and displaced, of whom nearly 5 million continued to live in tragic exile, in camps throughout the region and constituted the largest refugee population and the longest-lasting refugee problem in the world. They also expressed their deep regret that, since 1967, 44 years later, the Palestinian people have continued to suffer from the brutal Israeli military occupation of their territory, the continued denial of all fundamental human rights, including the right to self-determination and freedom, and the continued suffering and humiliation of their human dignity.", "The Ministers expressed their grave concern at the dire political, socio-economic, human rights, humanitarian and security situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, as a result of the ongoing Israeli military occupation, illegal actions and provocations against the Palestinian people and their land.

They stressed that the continuation of this conflict has serious implications for the achievement of regional and international peace and security.", "4. In view of this disturbing situation, the Ministers stressed the need to respect and defend the principled positions and strategies adopted by the Movement and to uphold the relevant UN resolutions on the question of Palestine. They reaffirmed their long-standing support for and solidarity with the just Palestinian cause and their strong commitment to support the Palestinian people and their leadership.

They stressed that the peace process must ensure an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and other Arab territories since 1967; the exercise of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination in an independent, sovereign and viable Palestinian State, with East Jerusalem as its capital; and a just solution to the plight of the Palestine refugees in accordance with General Assembly resolution 194 (III).", "The Ministers recalled the historic role and obligations of the international community, in particular the UN Security Council and the General Assembly in this regard. Taking into account the Charter ' s authority to the Security Council to maintain international peace and security, they called on the Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities and take immediate action to promote a just, lasting and comprehensive settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Arab-Israeli conflict. They expressed their appreciation to the members of the NAM Caucus in the Council for their relevant efforts on the question of Palestine and urged them to continue their active participation in order to enhance the role of the Movement in the peace efforts. They called for the intensification of international and regional efforts, including by the Quartet, the League of Arab States and all other interested Member States, with a view to achieving a peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine in all its aspects this year.", "7. With regard to the comprehensive consideration of the situation on the ground, the Ministers condemned all illegal policies and practices carried out by Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and the continuing human rights violations and war crimes committed by the occupying Power, which have caused tremendous suffering to the Palestinian people. They demanded an immediate and complete cessation of these violations of international law.", "The Ministers reiterated their strong condemnation of Israel's illegal colonial settlement campaign in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around Occupied East Jerusalem, which continues to blatantly disregard international law and the unanimous calls of the international community for the cessation of the movement. They reiterated their call for the immediate and complete cessation of all Israeli settlement activities, which constitute a grave violation of international humanitarian law and blatant disregard for the obligations contained in United Nations resolutions, the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice of 9 July 2004 and the Quartet road map. They stressed that the peace process was incompatible with the colonial activities that had deliberately and illegally acquired and de facto annexed more Palestinian land.", "The Ministers condemned Israel's intensification of land confiscations; construction and expansion of settlements, settler “outposts” and infrastructure; transfer of more Israeli settlers; construction of the Wall; demolition of houses; excavations, imposition of arbitrary ethnic residency and movement restrictions through the permit system and hundreds of checkpoints. They condemned the escalation of violence and terrorism by radicals and extremists among Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians and properties. They deplored the material, economic and social destruction caused by Israeli settlements and settlers, the wall and checkpoints. These settlements, settlers, the separation wall and checkpoints divide Palestinian territory into cantons separated by the wall; isolate East Jerusalem from other territories; displace thousands of Palestinians from their homes; severely damage Palestinian social structures; and completely destroy communities. They warned that Israel ' s illegal colonization campaign was undermining the contiguity, integrity, viability and unity of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and seriously undermining the prospects for the effective realization of the two-State solution for peace on the basis of the pre-1967 borders.", "The Ministers expressed their grave concern at the situation in and around Occupied East Jerusalem. The most ferocious Israeli colonization campaign there was aimed at illegally changing the city ' s demographic structure, character and legal status. They called for an immediate end to the construction of settlements and the construction of the separation wall, house demolitions, evictions and excavations in and around the city, including in the vicinity of Al-Haram Al-Sharif (Haram Al-Sharif); the closure of Palestinian institutions; the revocation of Palestinian residency rights, including through military orders of banishment; settler violence; and other measures aimed at reducing the number of Palestinian residents in the city and consolidating Israel ' s illegal annexation of East Jerusalem. The international community is totally opposed to this and will never recognize it.", "The Ministers reaffirmed the validity of the relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions calling for the complete cessation of these illegal policies and practices by Israel. They called for full respect for and implementation of these resolutions and for an end to Israeli settlement activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, which remain the main obstacle to peace. They stressed the urgent need to end settlement activities also in order to promote an enabling environment for credible negotiations with a view to achieving the two-State solution on the basis of the 1967 borders. In this regard, they deeply regret the recent failure of the Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities as a result of the veto power exercised by a permanent member and reiterate their call on the Council to take serious action to ensure that Israel complies with its relevant decisions and fulfils all its legal obligations.", "12. In this regard, the Ministers reiterated their call on the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention to fulfil their obligation under common Article 1 to respect and ensure respect for the Convention in all circumstances. They called upon Member States and the United Nations to fulfil their respective obligations, as called for in the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice and General Assembly resolution ES-10/15, including not to recognize the illegal situation resulting from the construction of the wall and not to render assistance or assistance in maintaining it. They called upon the Security Council and the General Assembly to consider further action to end the illegal situation resulting from the construction of the wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. They reiterated their call for the expeditious operationalization of the United Nations Register of Damage and the expeditious implementation of its mandates. In addition, they reiterated their call for concrete action, including collective, regional and individual legislative measures by States to comply with their obligations under international treaties to prevent any products of Israeli settlements from entering their markets; to deny entry to Israeli settlers; and to impose sanctions on companies and entities involved in the construction of settlements, the Wall and other illegal colonization activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.", "13. With regard to the critical situation in the Gaza Strip, the Ministers reiterated their strong condemnation of the Israeli military aggression against the Gaza Strip from December 2008 to January 2009, which resulted in the death and injury of thousands of Palestinian civilians, the massive destruction of tens of thousands of homes, economic and agricultural properties, vital civilian infrastructure and United Nations facilities, and serious psychological trauma to the civilian population. They reiterated the need to ensure that Israel, the occupying Power, is held accountable for the crimes it has committed against the Palestinian people in Gaza. They called on the international community, including the Security Council, to make serious efforts to end impunity in Israel and to bring justice to the victims. They called for follow-up to the findings and recommendations of the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict.

[ "秘书长根据第1936(2010)号决议第6段提出的第三次报告", "一. 导言", "1. 安全理事会在第1936(2010)号决议第6段中请秘书长每隔4个月向安理会报告联合国伊拉克援助团(联伊援助团)履行所有职责的进展情况。本报告是根据这项决议提出的第三次报告。", "2. 本报告提供自2011年3月31日提出上一次报告(S/2011/213)以来联合国在伊拉克开展活动的最新情况。本报告阐述与伊拉克有关的主要政治发展情况以及区域和国际事件。", "二. 伊拉克主要政治发展情况摘要", "A. 政治发展情况", "3. 2011年5月12日，国民议会批准了3名副总统的提名，他们是阿德尔·阿卜杜勒·迈赫迪、塔里克·哈希米和胡达伊尔·胡扎伊。但5月27日，伊拉克最高伊斯兰委员会领导人副总统阿德尔·迈赫迪以缩减政府规模为由宣布辞职，伊拉克最高伊斯兰委员会是民族联盟重要组成部分，7月11日，总统贾拉勒·塔拉巴尼接受了他的辞职。", "4. 在本报告所述期间，伊拉克持续发生示威活动，示威者主要是呼吁增加就业、改善基本服务和杜绝腐败。4月8日和5月25日，萨德尔派在巴格达组织了大规模示威活动，要求美军在2011年底前撤离伊拉克。4月9日，即前政权垮台8周年之际，伊拉克其他地区也发生了类似的示威活动。", "5. 自2011年2月以来，为回应公众的抗议，伊拉克政府一直努力履行改善社会经济局势的承诺，并执行了一项新的政府方案。政府为自己设置了100天的期限，限期评价各部门的计划并决定如何更好地回应伊拉克人民的需求。在期限结束时，6月7日至12日，几位部长向部长会议通报了各自部门取得的成就。对他们的陈述进行了电视直播。6月14日，伊拉克总理就其政府所取得的进展向全国发表演讲。政府同意未来3个月作出进一步努力，加快制定和执行政策。", "6. 在应由谁领导国内3个最重要的安全部门——即国防部、内务部和国家安全部——问题上，伊拉克主要政治集团持续存在分歧。在如何建立国家战略政策委员会的问题上也未取得共识，成立该委员会是2010年11月为推动政府组建进程而谈判缔结的《埃尔比勒协定》的部分商定内容。各政治集团在所需立法、组成方式和任务规定方面都存在分歧。", "7. 在库尔德地区，苏莱曼尼亚市及其周边地区发生了几次示威活动，抗议该地区感受到的腐败、服务不足和政治改革不到位。特别是反对党派(即戈兰党、库尔德伊斯兰联盟和库尔德伊斯兰集团)抱怨称，2个主要执政党(库尔德斯坦民主党和库尔德斯坦爱国联盟)长期把持着库尔德地区政府。库尔德地区政府对此作出了回应，总统马苏德·巴尔扎尼提出了一份政治改革计划，库尔德地区议会还就改革展开了一系列紧急辩论。6月4日和8日，库尔德斯坦民主党和库尔德斯坦爱国联盟的领导人与3个反对党进行了会晤，商讨政治局势。", "8. 在基尔库克，占据2个最高政治职位(即省长和省议会主席)的库尔德党派同意放弃主席职位，以表达善意，从而推进政治进程，并满足土库曼人和阿拉伯人的长期要求。哈桑·图兰(土库曼人)被选为主席，纳贾尔丁·卡里姆(库尔德人)被任命为新省长，拉坎·赛义德·朱布里(阿拉伯人)留任副省长。", "9. 3月31日，自2011年2月25日以来一直部署在基尔库克市周边地区的库尔德佩什梅加部队撤回到了库尔德地区。这起事件提醒我们，随着驻伊美军的缩编和联合安全机制的结束，各种挑战依然存在。建立联合安全机制的初衷是鼓励伊拉克安全部队和库尔德佩什梅加部队在驻伊美军的主持下协调行动、建立联合巡逻队和检查站并交流信息。伊拉克政府和库尔德地区尚未就联合安全机制的未来以及驻伊美军撤离后可以建立的后续安排达成共识。", "10. 根据伊拉克政府和美利坚合众国签订的《部队地位协定》的设想，驻伊美军继续按计划撤离伊拉克，打算至迟于2011年12月31日完成撤离工作。目前正在进行讨论，研究部分美军可否留至2011年以后以提供培训和支助。总理指出，这个问题将通过政治集团之间的对话协商解决，因为正式协议需要国民议会批准。", "B. 与伊拉克有关的区域事态发展", "11. 自新政府组建以来，伊拉克已采取措施，加强其与邻国的合作。2011年3月28日和29日，一个由伊拉克和科威特的高级官员组成的联合部长级委员会在科威特举行会议，讨论所有悬而未决的问题，即伊拉克对安全理事会尚未履行的义务以及双边感兴趣的其他问题。会议会议记录尚待商定。", "12. 5月18日，伊拉克在巴格达举行了由红十字国际委员会(红十字委员会)领导的失踪人员问题三方委员会协商会议。5月22日和23日，我的高级协调员在巴格达与伊拉克官员讨论了与科威特失踪人员和第三国国民以及包括档案在内的科威特财产有关的情况。6月8日，三方委员会技术小组委员会在科威特举行后续会议。", "13. 5月26日和27日，由外交部和运输部官员组成的伊拉克代表团访问了科威特，以了解在科威特布比延岛计划修建Mubarak Al-Kabeer港口的有关事实。该代表团是在国民议会几位成员发表讲话称科威特的这个港口将影响到伊拉克经济和航行利益后派出的。代表团的报告已提交给伊拉克部长理事会。伊拉克和科威特双方继续通过外交渠道澄清此事。", "14. 伊拉克和科威特之间的边界划定后如何对有财产留在科威特领土的伊拉克公民进行赔偿这一长期问题仍有待解决。安全理事会第899(1994)号决议处理了这个问题，2009年9月，联合国还向伊拉克常驻联合国代表团提供了解决这一问题的相关建议和文件。", "15. 3月28和29日，土耳其总理雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安在政府和企业高层代表的陪同下，在巴格达与总理马利基会面，并讨论了如何加强在经济、安全和能源等领域的双边合作。埃尔多安总理还会见了大阿亚图拉阿里·西斯坦尼，并访问埃尔比勒，会见了库尔德地区政府官员，包括总统马苏德·巴尔扎尼和总理巴勒姆·萨利赫。", "16. 5月5日，阿拉伯国家联盟宣布将其原定于2011年5月在巴格达举行的首脑会议推迟到2012年3月。联盟成员国考虑到几个阿拉伯国家当前的形势，经协商后作出这一决定。", "17. 在本报告所述期间，还进行了其他高层互访。5月11日，伊朗伊斯兰共和国外交部长阿里·阿科巴·萨莱希访问了巴格达，讨论双边问题并就地区问题交换意见。5月31日，阿拉伯叙利亚共和国外交部长瓦利德·穆阿利姆访问了巴格达。访问期间，两国签署了一份能源合作谅解备忘录。5月31日，约旦首相马鲁夫·巴希特访问伊拉克，会见了总理马利基。首相和总理共同主持了约旦-伊拉克联合高级委员会第六届会议的会议。双方同意通过消除阻碍两国之间货物流动的障碍来加强贸易。", "C. 国际事态发展", "18. 6月22日，安全理事会讨论了我根据关于遣返或送回所有科威特国民和第三国国民或其遗体并交还萨达姆政权攫取的包括档案在内的所有科威特财产的第1284(1999)号决议第14段提出的第31次报告。", "19. 伊拉克政府尚未确认是否愿意继续执行伊拉克-科威特边界维持项目，并缴纳它在完成该项目所需增拨资金中应承担的份额。伊拉克政府尚未对我2011年要求政府在这方面予以证实的普通照会作出答复。", "20. 4月28日，根据安全理事会第1956(2010)号决议第4段，伊拉克政府向安全理事会提出了一份报告(S/2011/290)，说明伊拉克政府已完成有关安排，确保全面切实过渡到新的机制以取代伊拉克发展基金。2011年6月30日，根据第1956(2010)号决议，终止将石油和天然气出口销售所得收益存入伊拉克发展基金的安排生效，同时终止的还有国际咨询和监察委员会对该基金的监测安排。2011年7月1日，该基金的所有收益都从咨监委转给伊拉克政府财务专家委员会，该委员会将根据部长理事会核定的职权范围行驶职权。", "三. 联合国伊拉克援助团的活动", "A. 政治活动", "21. 在本报告所述期间，常设协商机制举行了几次会议。2011年3月在联伊援助团的主持下推出的这项举措使各重要政治集团的代表聚集到一起，讨论与有争议的基尔库克等内部领土有关的悬而未决问题。与会者包括三个主要政治集团的代表：副总理鲁什·沙维斯博士(库尔德斯坦联盟)，议会议员哈桑·苏内德(国家联盟)和财政部长拉菲·伊萨维(伊拉克名单)。与会者同意集中讨论以下问题：(a) 基尔库克(包括权力分享问题和举行省议会选举)；(b) 尼尼微(目前的政治僵局、分享权力和安全问题)；(c) 联合安全机制的未来；(d) 人口普查。与会者于4月25日商定，以后的会议将有所扩大，包括基尔库克省和尼尼微省的当地利益攸关者。6月16日举行了一次会议，国民议会中来自基尔库克的所有议员第一次全部与会，讨论权力共享和举行基尔库克省议会选举的前景等问题。", "22. 为努力推进对话机制，我的特别代表于5月18日前往埃尔比勒，会见了库尔德地地区政府官员，包括总统马苏德·巴尔扎尼和总理巴勒姆·萨利赫。5月26日，常设协商机制重新开会，集中讨论了联合安全机制的未来，包括可能按任务规定为联伊援助团履行联络职能。与会者还讨论了如何才能化解因2009年省级选举后“哈德巴名单”获得控制权，此后库尔德人对尼尼微省议会进行抵制而产生的尼尼微省的政治僵局。为促进共识，我的特别代表与包括尼尼微省领导人在内的国家和地方主要对话人举行了一系列后续会议。", "23. 5月28和29日，我的特别代表访问了迪亚拉、基尔库克和尼尼微，观察根据联合安全机制之下每个省份的现有安全机制。他会见了伊拉克军队和警察的当地指挥官，以及库尔德佩什梅加。他还听取了驻伊美军地方指挥官的情况通报。", "24. 我的特别代表继续鼓励伊拉克进一步履行其对安理会承担的与科威特有关的义务。6月6日，他访问了科威特，讨论部长级联合委员会会议的成果以及为解决悬而未决的第七章问题需要进一步采取哪些步骤。在科威特期间，他会晤了总理谢赫纳赛尔·穆罕默德·艾哈迈德·萨巴赫，副总理兼外交部长谢赫穆罕默德·萨巴赫·萨利姆·萨巴赫和埃米尔的外交政策顾问穆罕默德·阿布哈桑。", "25. 根据联伊援助团促进区域对话的任务规定，经与联合国主要机构、基金和方案协商后，联伊援助团德黑兰联络办公室探讨了如何支持伊拉克和伊朗在环境保护、跨界水资源管理、药物管制合作和边境排雷等领域开展双边合作。环境保护方面的合作旨在消除和减缓沙尘暴的影响和改善沼泽地管理。联伊援助团还指出，两国都愿意在联合国有关机构特别是联合国开发计划署(开发署)的主持下，加强它们在边境排雷方面的合作。", "26. 6月10日至14日，主管政治事务副秘书长林恩·帕斯科访问伊拉克，在那里会见了总理马利基、国民会议议长、库尔德地区总理以及若干其他伊拉克高级官员。他在会见时，重申了联合国对继续援助伊拉克的承诺，并讨论了联合国如何能够集中精力，最有效地满足伊拉克人民的需要。他强调，联伊援助团愿意提供进一步的援助，协助在涉及内部争议领土的悬而未决问题上找出双方都能接受的解决办法。他还强调联合国国家工作队致力于向伊拉克提供援助，为解决发展、人权、人道主义方面的挑战提供技术咨询和专业知识。访问期间，总理马利基确认，伊拉克政府决定在巴格达为联伊援助团划出一个大院。", "B. 选举援助活动", "27. 在本报告所述期间，联伊援助团继续支持独立高级选举委员会审查选举活动的技术准备情况，包括已宣布于2011年9月10日举行的库尔德地区省议会选举的技术准备情况。委员会表示，它担心最近在通过相关选举法和释放资金方面的延误可能会影响计划时间表。", "28. 2011年4月，独立选委会理事会从国民议会那里收到了一份清单，列有就指称的委员会财政和行政违规行为提出的32个问题。在质询前几天，一名理事辞职。5月12日，国民议会经投票撤回对另一名理事的信任，他后来在联邦最高法院对其被撤职提出质疑。本届董事会任期于2012年5月届满。委员会工作人员的地位及其任期保障对于即将举行的选举的公信力很重要。2011年５月，总理办公室委托设立了一个委员会，负责决定哪些雇员在理事会中有权享有公务员身份，希望这一长期问题因此得到解决，并使独立选委会的专业工作人员得到长期任用。", "29. 由联伊援助团、开发署和联合国项目事务厅组成的一个联合国综合选举小组继续提供能力建设援助。该小组举办了几次重大活动，包括对委员会工作人员进行了培训，讲授软件开发、选票和其他印刷投票材料的绘制设计、选举采购以及公众宣传活动内容和多媒体工具的开发。对委员会信息技术和通信基础设施的审查工作也正在进行中。", "C. 人口普查的技术准备", "30. 联合国人口基金继续开展能力建设工作，以便一旦决定举行全国人口普查即在国内进行筹备；国内许多地区的若干普查筹备阶段已经完成，包括实地工作的编号以及建筑物、住宅和家庭的造册。7月10日，伊拉克政府公布了有关住户造册和数字统计的结果，这项工作是作为普查流程的第一阶段进行的。公布的数字表明，伊拉克境内有3 160万人，住在480万栋住宅中，分为470万户，平均每户6.7人，其中女户主家庭占7.7%。", "D. 发展和人道主义援助", "31. 在本报告所述期间，伊拉克政府表示致力于改善伊拉克人民的日常生活。主要经济和社会指标突出表明，面前仍有许多挑战。该国的贫穷指数仍居高不下，为22.9%，贫穷差率为4.5%。各省贫穷水平有很大不同。估计有大约175万名伊拉克人要么在境内流离失所，要么则在邻国沦为难民，成为世界上最大的流离失所群体之一。中小学入学率有所下降，其中包括严重的区域和性别差异。穷人中10岁以上文盲率达到29%(城镇24%，农村33%)。在卫生系统内，婴儿死亡率为每千例活胎35人，5岁以下死亡率为每千例活胎41人。全球严重营养不良指数国内5岁以下儿童平均值为4.7%。", "32. 需要采取进一步步骤改善基础服务。目前大多数伊拉克人居住的城市中心都严重感受到供水和卫生服务的缺乏。在巴格达以外地区，饮用水服务的平均覆盖面低于70%(农村地区48%)。估计25%的巴格达居民仍没有与供水网连接。大约50%的汇集废水未经处理排入江河。自2007年以来，电力需求每年增加大约6%。2011年6月17日，电力部发言人指出，国家电网生产的电力仅能满足夏季高峰需求大约15 000兆瓦的不到一半。该发言人称，政府部长们最近决定再拨出9.27亿美元用于提高国内发电能力。", "33. 在本报告所述期间，联合国国家工作队定期协助总理监测委员会每周举行会议，监测委员会负责协调政府工作以满足公众提出的就业、改善服务和制止腐败等要求。迄今为止，监测委员会对青年和就业、电力、社会对话、保健、教育、水和环境卫生以及与境内流离失所者有关的问题等优先领域进行了审查。各方商定委员会今后几个月将在联合国的支持下继续开展工作。", "34. ５月14日，总理马利基召开了一次会议，讨论《伊拉克情况简介》强调的主要问题和挑战，《伊拉克情况简介》是一份由伊拉克伙伴论坛包括联合国、世界银行和双边捐助者联合编写的报告，2011年早些时候提交给伊拉克政府。会议重点讨论了伊拉克经济转型、私营部门作用、公共部门改革、国有企业改革和公共财政管理。会后又与职能部委和总理办公室举行了几次会议，以支持落实情况简介中的各项建议。伊拉克政府还宣布成立伙伴关系委员会。该委员会将是一个高级部门间委员会，由主管经济问题的副总理主持，与联合国和国际社会合作执行情况简介中提出的各项政策和规划建议，并处理全面协调问题。", "35. 联合国发展援助框架(联发援框架)已收到的资金相当于5.38亿美元，接近19.02亿美元所需资源总额的30%。6月14日，由伊拉克政府和联合国共同主持的伊拉克联发援框架信托基金指导委员会在巴格达召开第一次会议。指导委员会审查了按照关闭联合国发展集团(发展集团)伊拉克信托基金期间返还余额计算的可用资金。伊拉克联发援框架信托基金是应伊拉克政府的要求于2011年1月成立的，有16个联合国组织参加，旨在协助和精简为执行联发援框架而提供捐助资金的工作。该基金预计将为伊拉克联发援框架的整个周期(2011年1月至2014年12月)供资。", "36. 伊拉克政府和世界粮食规划署的协议谈判工作已到最后阶段，协议旨在通过为将近25%的伊拉克人口即750万伊拉克人采购和运交粮食，加强公共分配系统。粮食署估计，这些举措将花费近12亿美元。这种伙伴关系将有两个组成部分：(a) 直接采购和运送150万公吨口粮篮商品，(b)为贸易部提供能力建设培训，以改善支持公共分配系统的流程，如供应链管理和采购以及向弱势人口中群体运送粮食。", "37. 联伊援助团继续设法通过速效项目更好地支持民间社会。由(负责发展和人道主义援助)秘书长副特别代表管理和主持的速效项目基金，已从伊拉克民间社会收到100多个项目提案。这些项目涉及提高环保意识、促进水资源管理规划、落实社区供水和卫生举措以及举办妇女和青年论坛。在可能得到供资的40个项目中，5个项目已经得到批准，25个项目将在下个月批准，10个项目尚待确定。", "38. 联合国水资源管理综合工作队支持巴士拉大学于2011年6月6日和7日举行一次全国会议，重点讨论沼泽地的治理和管理。参加会议的有各主要国家伙伴，包括中央和地方两级政府、民间社会、私营部门和国际社会的代表。另一项支持能力建设的举措是，工作队为政府官员举办了一期关于跨界水谈判的高级培训课程。", "39. 5月21日，我的特别代表与联合国难民事务高级专员办事处(难民署)的代表一道，走访了巴格达阿瓦萨区的一个境内流离失所者居住点。这次访问突显难民署继续努力确保所有境内流离失所者得到适当登记并获得基本服务。与此相呼应，在联合国人类住区规划署(人居署)执行主任Joan Clos 5月30日至6月1日访问伊拉克期间，就规划城市重建问题举行了高级别讨论，尤其重点讨论了如何改善城市地区境内流离失所者的生活条件。", "40. 4月21日和22日，尼尼微省爆发山洪，主要影响到辛贾尔区，多达600座房屋全部或部分倒塌。在埃尔比勒，水灾波及近1 000个家庭。包括联合国儿童基金会、国际移徙组织、国际救援委员会和红十字委员会在内的一些组织，向受灾家庭提供了非食品物项。", "E. 人权活动", "41. 在本报告所述期间，暗杀政治领袖、政府官员和保安人员的行为明显增多。5月26日，伊拉克问责和司法委员会(又称去复兴党化委员会)主任Ali al-Lami在巴格达东部被暗杀。委员会此前曾发布决定，禁止一些据称前复兴党忠诚者参加2010年3月的选举和担任公职。5月12日和30日分别发生了来自基尔库克的国会土库曼议员和尼尼微省省长暗杀未遂事件。5月12日，伊拉克集团的一名成员Row’a al Ogaidi女士和她的保镖在摩苏尔被一个不明武装团体枪杀。6月1日，伊拉克人权部副部长Abdul-Karim Abdullah躲过了在巴格达针对其车队的未遂暗杀。5月20日，两个部落首领在摩苏尔的不同袭击中被枪杀。", "42. 针对妇女实施的名誉犯罪仍然令人关切。4月和5月期间，联伊援助团在基尔库克记录了9名妇女在可疑情况下死亡。警方告知联伊援助团，其中3人的死亡被列为自杀，4人被身份不明者谋杀，其他2名妇女的死亡原因未经证实，但被视为可疑。联伊援助团还继续调查3月28日摩苏尔的一桩涉及以荣誉为名杀害6名女子的案件。", "43. 仍不时有报道称儿童受到肆意暴力和绑架。5月20日，一枚炸弹在摩苏尔引爆致使2名儿童死亡。在基尔库克，犯罪团伙于4月2日绑架了1名6岁女孩，在支付赎金后释放。4月21日，1名12岁男孩在基尔库克被绑架，仍然下落不明。", "44. 在本报告所述期间，举行了一些公众示威，大多数示威都是和平进行的。然而，发生了一些孤立的暴力事件。2011年6月10日，在巴格达Tahrir广场举行的要求政府进行改革的示威者遭到携带棍棒的不明身份武装人员的袭击。示威者遭到毒打，受到骨折和刀伤。示威者声称，尽管伊拉克安全部队在场，但武装团伙的行动未受惩罚。示威者还声称，伊拉克安全部队试图通过限制行动和逮捕某些参与者和组织者来控制和取缔一些示威活动。", "45. 监狱和拘留设施的情况仍然令人严重关切。联伊援助团继续接到关于被拘留者受到侵犯、虐待和生活条件差的报告。根据来自负责拘留中心的4个不同政府部门的官方统计，截至2010年12月底，被拘留者、因安全原因被羁押者和被判刑的囚犯人数从2009年12月底的28 956人增加到35 653人(成年人34 220人，青少年1 433人)。5月10日，人权部证实了在巴士拉警方下的一名被拘留者死于酷刑。5月12日，尼尼微省省长宣布组成一个特别委员会，调查据称侵犯被拘留者权利的案件。", "46. 联伊援助团继续向2011年6月16日提名的专家委员会提供技术支持，以选出第一个独立高级人权委员会的11名委员和3名候补委员。委员会秘书处收到共3 085份申请。专家委员会根据世界各地的最佳做法商定了甄选标准，用以评价个人技能和委员会的集体需要，以履行人权委员会法为其制订的任务规定。联伊援助团组织和协助专家委员于2011年7月1日至6日在贝鲁特举办了为期5天的讲习班，以制订开展上述评价工作的标准和程序。", "47. 6月5日至7日，联伊援助团支持伊拉克人权部组织了一次关于政府的《国家人权行动计划》草案的全国协商会议。该计划草案旨在落实伊拉克政府在2010年2月伊拉克普遍定期审议期间接受的135项建议。会议由总理主持并由人权部长Muhammad Shiya' Al-Sudani任主席。这次会议聚集了广泛的利益攸关方，包括来自政府、国民议会、司法机构、民间社会的代表和人权专家。", "48. 2011年5月29日至6月7日，主管人权事务助理秘书长伊万·西蒙诺维奇访问了伊拉克，并在巴格达会见了副总理鲁兹·沙维斯、国防部和司法部的代表及记者和民间社会行为者。在埃尔比勒，他会见了库尔德地区政府官员，包括总统、总理和议会议长。助理秘书长欢迎政府打算制定一项落实联合国所提建议的国家行动计划。他吁请伊拉克政府确保平民免受暴力侵害，追究任何涉嫌实施暴力行为的个人或团体的责任。他还谴责据报伊拉克各地发生的许多强迫失踪、任意拘留和指称酷刑的案件。", "49. 联伊援助团继续监测新伊拉克难民营(原阿什拉夫难民营)的人道主义和人权情况，那里居住着约3 400名伊朗人民圣战者组织成员。4月7日和8日，伊拉克安全部队进入难民营，控制了北侧。随后发生了暴力，34名难民营居民死亡，70多人受伤。4月9日，伊拉克政府重申其至迟于2011年底关闭该难民营的坚定决心。联伊援助团和联合国人权事务高级专员呼吁克制，敦促伊拉克政府不要违反国际法而使用武力。他们还呼吁对这一事件进行彻底的调查，调查工作尚未展开。", "F. 安全、行动和后勤问题", "50. 在本报告所述期间，联合国继续在危险的安全环境中开展行动。5月5日，希拉警察总部发生汽车炸弹爆炸，炸死30名警察。5月19日又发生一个事件，基尔库克省级联合协调中心遭到连环袭击，造成20人死亡、80人受伤，包括伊拉克警察和文职国防官员。这起袭击事件被认为是对伊拉克安全部队最近成功发现武器隐藏地和恐怖袭击主要通缉犯而作出的回应。5月22日，巴格达至少有14枚炸弹爆炸，炸死大约16人，其中9人是平民。2011年6月3日和6日，萨拉赫丁省提克里特发生两起袭击事件，造成大批人员伤亡。6月3日，一枚自杀炸弹在清真寺周五礼拜时发生爆炸，炸死17人，炸伤60人。同日稍后，另一名自杀炸弹手在清真寺爆炸受害者接受治疗的一家当地医院内引爆炸弹背心，炸死6人，炸伤16人。6月6日，伊拉克陆军旅指挥官车队也遭到袭击，炸死包括指挥官在内的13人。伊拉克伊斯兰国声称对袭击负责。", "51. 针对驻伊美军基地以及巴格达国际机场和巴格达国际区的间接火力袭击也有所增加。5月15日，国际区受到11枚火箭(107毫米)袭击，创下两年来单日火箭发射最高记录，6月9日又受到4枚火箭的袭击。这些事件以及武装反对团体的持续炸弹袭击事件突出说明，联合国伊拉克行动继续面临威胁。", "52. 在本报告所述期间，联伊援助团努力将美军提供的安全支持移交给伊拉克安全部队。4月24日，伊拉克国家安全委员会要求武装部队最高指挥官办公室与国防部和内政部协调，为联伊援助团的保护需求提供支持。", "53. 在本报告所述期间，联伊援助团还采取步骤建立必要的后勤安排以替代美军的支助。联伊援助团还继续进行准备，确保继续驻留基尔库克和巴斯拉。", "54. 在联合国常备警察能力的支持下，向巴格达、艾尔比勒和基尔库克调派了一个由联伊援助团4名警察联络员组成的先期小组，负责与内政部和伊拉克警察保持接触，并协调联伊援助团的行动。", "55. 2011年4月6日至30日，外勤支助部的一个小组对联伊援助团驻科威特办事处进行了审查，该办事处中还有一些联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)的办公室。审查的目的是确定联伊援助团和联阿援助团在科威特的某些工作程序合并后可以取得哪些协同增效作用和提高多少效率。", "四. 意见", "56. 伊拉克继续在巩固新生民主、加强法制、建设机构和克服国家经济社会挑战方面取得进展。我再次强调，如果各主要政党本着民族和解的精神齐心协力，尽快实现伊拉克人民改善生活的正当愿望，这些努力就会大有起色。", "57.今天的伊拉克与2003年的伊拉克大不相同。伊拉克人民可以对八年来取得的进展感到骄傲。但是，伊拉克继续面临巨大的政治、安全和发展挑战，需要联合国和国际社会的大力支持。我关切地注意到，在该区域目前面临诸多紧迫挑战的情况下，特别鉴于该国的贫穷指数仍高达22.9%,伊拉克人民的重大基本需求不应被遗忘。随着安全理事会延长联伊援助团任务期限的日子临近，我向伊拉克政府和人民保证，我本人和联合国将坚定地致力于继续为伊拉克提供长期支持。", "58. 在国民议会批准伊拉克现政府近7个月之后，在2010年3月举行历史性议会选举16个月之后，政府的组建流程尤其是主要安全职位的任命仍然存在一些悬而未决的问题。我呼吁伊拉克政治领导人摒弃歧见，迅速采取行动就今后方针达成一致。", "59. 与该区域其他国家出现的情况相呼应，伊拉克许多地区也发生了示威活动，要求改善社会服务，创造就业机会和制止腐败。为此，联合国国家工作队将继续逐步扩大在伊拉克的存在，并通过联合国发展援助框架和《2010-2014年国家发展计划》确定的重点提供支持。", "60. 虽然基尔库克和其他国内争议领土的地位仍是有争议的问题，但令我感到鼓舞的是，伊拉克主要利益攸关方最近为寻找共同立场作出了努力。通过联伊援助团主持的常设协商机制，基尔库克的政治领袖、议员和地方代表就影响基尔库克和其他争议地区今后地位的重大问题(包括今后的安全安排)进行了对话。我鼓励伊拉克政府和库尔德地区政府继续利用这一重要论坛，找出彼此接受和最终有利于民族和解与长期稳定的解决办法。在这一过程中，联合国将随时准备应政府请求提供协助。", "61. 伊拉克的未来还取决于国家机构的力量。为此，联伊援助团将继续为伊拉克独立高级选举委员会的能力建设提供援助，该机构是伊拉克今后选举进程和民主发展的核心。为了确保委员会在组织即将开始的选举进程方面发挥独立和公正的作用，伊拉克政府必须在甄选选举委员会委员方面提供最大的透明度，准备2012年5月向下届委员会过渡。", "62. 我坚信，在当今相互依存的世界中，区域合作是伊拉克长期稳定与繁荣的基本条件。我的理解是，该地区最近的一些事件对伊拉克与部分邻国关系的今后发展构成挑战。我因此敦促该地区各国加强与伊拉克的接触，以迅速解决未决分歧，寻找政治、安全和发展领域的具体合作领域，使有关各方实现互利双赢。在安全理事会的支持下，联伊援助团准备尽一切力量支持上述努力。", "63. 我尤其赞扬伊拉克和科威特两国政府迄今为实现关系正常化采取的步骤，并赞扬两国为解决未决的双边问题而继续努力。我诚挚希望对3月在科威特举行的部长级联合委员会首次会议采取后续行动，双方应继续努力寻找可行的解决办法。我相信，公开坦诚的讨论对两国之间建立信任十分有益。", "64. 安理会取消根据《宪章》第七章对伊制裁以来已有近七个月的时间，各方一致认为取消制裁是实现伊拉克国际地位正常化的一个重大步骤。我借此机会重申我本人的承诺，希望看到伊拉克根据安全理事会第1859(2008)号决议的规定实现国际地位全面正常化。因此，我提醒伊拉克政府注意，必须在与科威特有关的未决义务，特别是在包括档案在内的科威特失踪人员和财产以及伊拉克科威特边界维持项目方面，向安全理事会展示实际和迅速的进展。我还要提醒伊拉克当局注意，根据第899(1994)号决议向伊拉克公民支付赔款问题仍未解决。政治事务部曾就此向伊拉克政府提出建议，目前仍在等待答复。我一再表示，如果在上述方面取得进展，就能创造有利的势头，使安全理事会能够审议我根据第1859(2008)号决议提交的报告。为此，我的特别代表和高级协调员将一如既往，继续协助伊拉克和科威特最终解决安全理事会任务规定中这些悬而未决的问题。", "65. 虽然该国的人权状况有所改善，但是严峻的挑战依然存在，必须克服这些挑战才能确保基本权利和自由受到保护。在这方面，我对目前为成立独立高级人权委员会而开展的准备工作表示赞扬。我还高兴地看到为拟订国家人权行动计划启动了协商进程，行动计划如得到实施，将成为加强该国人权保护机制工作的一个重要里程碑。随着保护机制逐步建立，我敦促伊拉克政府尽一切努力确保遵守适当程序，并为根据国际公约进一步努力改善监狱条件。", "66. 我关切地注意到，4月7日和8日新伊拉克难民营发生暴力事件，造成人员伤亡。我敦促伊拉克当局避免使用武力，并确保为营地人员提供充足物品和服务。我还高兴地看到伊拉克政府在事件发生后保证，它将致力于积极寻找各方均可接受的和平办法。因此，我鼓励所有相关利益攸关方加紧努力，探索各种选项和设法找出协商一致的解决办法，这种解决办法既要确保伊拉克主权得到尊重，又应符合国际人权法和人道主义原则。为此，我呼吁会员国协助为落实任何伊拉克政府和营地居民均可接受的安排提供支持和便利。", "67. 在改善伊拉克安全局势方面取得了重大进展，但是最近发生的大批暗杀和爆炸事件突出表明，武装反对团体继续对伊拉克稳定构成重大威胁。我借此机会重申主管人权事务助理秘书最近向伊拉克政府发出的呼吁，要求确保平民免于暴力，并追究实施暴力行为的个人和团体的责任。", "68. 我谨借此机会对伊拉克政府和库尔德地区政府接待联合国主管政治事务副秘书长到访表示感谢。这次访问是讨论新政府工作重点和联合国援助方式的一个重要机会，我还对伊拉克政府特别是马利基总理同意在巴格达为联伊援助团提供一个大院表示诚挚感谢。", "69. 本报告重点阐述了伊拉克的事态发展以及联伊援助团最近根据其广泛任务开展的活动。应伊拉克政府请求并在与伊拉克政府协商之后，联合国将继续在伊拉克促进政治对话与民族和解，支持选举活动，推动协调和提供发展援助和人道主义援助，促进保护人权和加强法治。虽然目前的工作环境充满挑战，但联伊援助团将继续制定必要安排，以便在伊拉克安全和有效地开展行动。", "70. 最后，我谨向我的伊拉克问题特别代表阿德·梅尔克特、联伊援助团所有本国和国际工作人员以及联合国机构、基金和方案的人员表示感谢，他们尽职尽责，为支持伊拉克人民和政府作出了不懈努力。" ]

On 12 May 2011, the Council of Representatives approved the nomination of three Vice-Presidents, namely Adel Abdel Mahdi, Tariq al-Hashimi and Khudayr al‑Khuzai. On 27 May, however, Vice-President Abdel Mahdi, a leading figure in the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq and a key component of the National Alliance, announced his resignation, which was accepted on 11 July by the President, Jalal Talabani, citing the need to reduce the size of the Government.", "4. During the reporting period, demonstrations continued in Iraq, protestors calling primarily for job creation, an improvement in the delivery of essential services and an end to corruption. On 8 April and 25 May, the Sadrists organized a large demonstration in Baghdad and demanded that United States military forces leave Iraq by the end of 2011. On 9 April, the eighth anniversary of the fall of the former regime, there were similar demonstrations in other parts of the country.", "5. Since February 2011, in response to public protests, the Government of Iraq has been working to fulfil its pledge to improve the socio-economic situation while also implementing the new government programme. The Government set a 100-day deadline to evaluate ministerial programmes and determine a way to better respond to the needs of the people of Iraq. At the end of this period, from 7 to 12 June, a number of ministers briefed the Council of Ministers on the achievements of their respective ministries. Their presentations were broadcast live on television. On 14 June, the Prime Minister addressed the nation on the progress made by his Government. A further effort to accelerate policy decisions and implementation over the next three months has been agreed upon.", "6. There are continuing disagreements among the main political blocs regarding who should head the country’s top three security ministries — namely the Ministries of Defence, the Interior and National Security. Consensus still has not been reached regarding the establishment of a National Council for Strategic Policies, which was agreed upon as part of the Erbil agreement negotiated in November 2010 to facilitate the government formation process. Political blocs differ over the required legislation, composition and mandate.", "7. In the Kurdistan region, there were demonstrations in the city of Sulemaniyah and adjacent districts over perceived corruption, inadequate services and the lack of political reform in the region. In particular, opposition parties, namely, the Goran party, the Kurdistan Islamic Union and the Kurdistan Islamic Group have complained of the long-standing control of the Kurdistan Regional Government by the two main ruling parties, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK). In response, President Massoud Barzani of the Kurdistan Regional Government put forward a plan for political reforms and a series of emergency debates on reforms were held in the Kurdistan Regional Parliament. On 4 and 8 June, the leaders of KDP and PUK met with the three opposition parties to discuss the political situation.", "8. In Kirkuk, Kurdish parties holding the two most senior political posts, Governor and Chairman of the Provincial Council, agreed to give up the latter, as a gesture of goodwill in order to move the political process forward and to accommodate a long-standing demand by Turkmen and Arab components. Hassan Turan (Turkmen) was elected to the post of Chairman, Najmaldin O. Karim (Kurdish) was appointed as the new Governor and Rakan Sa’id al-Jubouri (Arab) remained Deputy Governor.", "9. On 31 March, Kurdish Peshmerga troops that had been deployed around the city of Kirkuk since 25 February 2011 withdrew and returned to the Kurdistan region. The incident served as a reminder of the challenges that remain as the United States Forces in Iraq draw down and the combined security mechanism comes to an end. The combined security mechanism was established to encourage Iraqi security forces and Kurdish Peshmerga troops to coordinate their operations, set up joint patrols and checkpoints and exchange information under the auspices of the United States Forces. The Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government have yet to agree on the future of the combined security mechanism or any successor arrangements that could be put into place after the departure of the United States Forces.", "10. The United States Forces in Iraq have continued their planned withdrawal from the country with the intention of completing their departure by 31 December 2011, as envisaged under the status-of-forces agreement signed between the Governments of Iraq and the United States of America. Discussions have been ongoing regarding the possibility of some United States forces remaining beyond 2011 to provide training and support. The Prime Minister has stated that the issue would be decided on a consensus basis through dialogue among the political blocs, as formal agreement would require approval by the Council of Representatives.", "B. Regional developments pertaining to Iraq", "11. Since the formation of the new Government, Iraq has taken steps to strengthen its cooperation with neighbouring countries. A joint ministerial committee consisting of senior officials from Iraq and Kuwait met on 28 and 29 March 2011 in Kuwait to discuss all outstanding issues, both Iraq’s outstanding obligations to the Security Council and other issues of bilateral interest. The minutes of the meeting have yet to be agreed upon.", "12.

On 22 and 23 May, my High-level Coordinator met with Iraqi officials in Baghdad to discuss the situation concerning missing Kuwaiti persons and third-country nationals, and Kuwaiti property, including archives. A subsequent meeting of the Technical Subcommittee of the Tripartite Commission was held in Kuwait on 8 June.", "13. On 26 and 27 May, an Iraqi delegation, comprising officials from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Transport, visited Kuwait to ascertain facts relating to the planned construction of the Mubarak al-Kabeer Port on Bubiyan Island in Kuwait. The delegation was sent after several members of the Council of Representatives made statements claiming that the Kuwaiti port would affect the economic and navigational interests of Iraq. The report of the delegation has been presented to the Council of Ministers of Iraq. Iraq and Kuwait continue to clarify the matter bilaterally through diplomatic channels.", "14. The long-standing issue of compensation for Iraqi citizens whose assets remained on Kuwaiti territory after the demarcation of the boundary between Iraq and Kuwait is still pending resolution. This matter was addressed in Security Council resolution 899 (1994), and in September 2009 the United Nations provided the Permanent Mission of Iraq with the proposals and documentation to address the issue.", "15. On 28 and 29 March, the Prime Minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, accompanied by high-level government and business representatives, met with Prime Minister Al-Maliki in Baghdad and discussed ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the fields of economy, security and energy.

The participants include representatives of the three main political blocs: Deputy Prime Minister Rowsch Shaways (Kurdistan Alliance), Member of Parliament Hassan al‑Sunaid (National Alliance) and Finance Minister Rafi al-Issawi (Iraqiya). The participants agreed to focus on the following issues: (a) Kirkuk, including power-sharing issues and conducting provincial council elections; (b) Ninewa, the current political stalemate, power-sharing and security issues; (c) the future of the combined security mechanism; and (d) the census.

In an effort to advance the dialogue mechanism, my Special Representative travelled to Erbil on 18 May, where he met with officials from the Kurdistan Regional Government, including President Massoud Barzani and Prime Minister Barham Saleh. On 26 May, the standing consultative mechanism reconvened and focused on the future of the combined security mechanism, including a possible liaison role for UNAMI under its mandate. The participants also discussed ways to resolve the political stalemate in Ninewa arising from the Kurdish boycott of the Ninewa Provincial Council after the Hadba List won control following the 2009 governorate elections. My Special Representative held a series of follow-up meetings with key national and local interlocutors, including provincial leaders in Ninewa, to promote consensus.", "23. On 28 and 29 May, my Special Representative visited Diyala, Kirkuk and Ninewa to observe the existing security mechanism in each of the governorates under the combined security mechanism.

My Special Representative continued to encourage progress on the obligations of Iraq to the Security Council pertaining to Kuwait. On 6 June, he visited Kuwait to discuss the outcome of the Joint Ministerial Committee meeting and the further steps needed to address outstanding Chapter VII issues. While in Kuwait, he met with Prime Minister Sheikh Naser Al-Mohammad Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammad Al-Sabah Al‑Salem Al-Sabah, and the Foreign Policy Adviser to the Emir, Mohammad Abulhassan.", "25. In accordance with the UNAMI mandate to promote regional dialogue, and in consultation with key United Nations agencies, funds and programmes, the UNAMI liaison office in Tehran explored ways to support bilateral cooperation between Iraq and the Islamic Republic of Iran in the fields of environmental protection, transboundary water resource management, cooperation on drug control and border demining. Cooperation on environmental protection envisages combating and mitigating the effects of dust storms and improving the management of marshlands.

In April 2011, the Board of Commissioners of the Independent High Electoral Commission received from the Council of Representatives a list of 32 questions on alleged financial and administrative irregularities in the Commission. In the days preceding the questioning, one Commissioner resigned. On 12 May, the Council of Representatives voted to withdraw its confidence from another Commissioner, who has since challenged his removal before the Federal Supreme Court. The term of the current Board of Commissioners expires in May 2012. The status of Commission staff and their security of tenure will be important for the credibility of upcoming elections. In May 2011, the Office of the Prime Minister commissioned the establishment of a committee to determine those employees entitled to civil servant status within the Commission, which ideally will resolve a long-standing issue and provide permanence for professional Commission staff.", "29. A United Nations integrated electoral team from UNAMI, UNDP and the United Nations Office for Project Services continued to provide capacity-building assistance. Several key activities have been implemented, including the training of Commission staff on software development, graphic design for ballots and other printed polling materials and electoral procurement, as well as on the development of content and multimedia tools for public-outreach activities. An assessment of the information technology and communications infrastructure of the Commission is also ongoing.", "C. Technical preparations for the census", "30. The United Nations Population Fund continued its capacity-building efforts to prepare the country for a nationwide census, if and when a decision to conduct such a census is made. Some preparatory census-taking stages were completed, including fieldwork numbering and the listing of buildings, dwellings and households in many parts of the country. On 10 July, the Government of Iraq released the findings of the listing and numbering of households, held as the first stage in the census-taking process. The release showed that 31.6 million people in Iraq lived in 4.8 million dwellings, and were contained in 4.7 million households with an average of 6.7 persons per household, of which 7.7 per cent are headed by women.", "D. Development and humanitarian assistance", "31. During the reporting period, the Government of Iraq expressed its commitment to improving the daily lives of the Iraqi people. Key economic and social indicators highlight the many challenges that lie ahead. The country’s poverty index remains high, at 22.9 per cent, with a poverty gap of 4.5 per cent. Poverty levels vary considerably by governorate. Approximately 1.75 million Iraqis are estimated to be either internally displaced or refugees in neighbouring countries, constituting one of the largest displaced populations in the world. School enrolment rates have decreased at primary and secondary levels and include substantial regional and gender disparities. Illiteracy rates among the poor reached 29 per cent for those aged 10 and above (24 per cent urban and 33 per cent rural). In the health system, infant mortality decreased to 35 per 1,000 live births, and under-5 mortality to 41 per 1,000. The national average indicator for global acute malnutrition is 4.7 per cent among children under 5.", "32. Further steps also need to be taken to improve the delivery of essential services. Shortages of water and sanitation services are acutely felt in urban centres where the majority of Iraqis now live. Outside Baghdad, potable water service coverage averages below 70 per cent (48 per cent in rural areas). An estimated 25 per cent of Baghdad residents remain disconnected from the water supply network. Approximately 50 per cent of wastewater collected is discharged into rivers without any treatment. Electricity demand has increased yearly by approximately 6 per cent since 2007. On 17 June 2011, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Electricity stated that power generated by the country’s national grid will meet less than half of summer peak demand, some 15,000 megawatts. The spokesman said Government ministers had recently decided to allocate a further $927 million to increase the country’s electricity-generating capacity.", "33.

Iraq continues to make progress in consolidating its young democracy, strengthening the rule of law, developing its institutions and addressing the economic and social challenges of the country. I once again wish to emphasize that these efforts would be considerably enhanced if all major political parties worked together in a spirit of national reconciliation, so that the legitimate aspirations of the Iraqi people for a better life could be addressed without delay.", "57. The Iraq of today is very different from the Iraq of 2003. The Iraqi people can be proud of the progress that they have made over the past eight years. However, the country continues to face considerable political, security and developmental challenges that require the strong support of the United Nations and the international community. I am concerned that, in the light of the many pressing challenges in the region, the important basic needs of the Iraqi people may be forgotten, especially as the country’s poverty index remains high, at 22.9 per cent. As we approach the renewal of the UNAMI mandate in the Security Council, I wish to assure the Government and people of Iraq of my strong personal commitment, and that of the United Nations, to sustain our long-standing support for the country.", "58. Almost 7 months after the Council of Representatives approved the current Iraqi Government, and 16 months after the historic parliamentary elections of March 2010, there are still outstanding issues related to the Government formation process particularly appointments to key security posts.

Echoing developments elsewhere in the region, there have been demonstrations in many parts of Iraq calling for better social services, job creation and an end to corruption. To this end, the United Nations country team will continue to progressively expand its presence in Iraq and to provide support through the priorities identified in the United Nations Development Assistance Framework and the National Development Plan 2010-2014.", "60. Although the status of Kirkuk and other disputed internal territories remain divisive issues, I am encouraged by recent efforts by key Iraqi stakeholders to find common ground. Through the standing consultative mechanism under UNAMI auspices, political leaders, members of parliament and local representatives of Kirkuk have engaged in a dialogue on critical issues that will affect the future of Kirkuk and other disputed areas, including future security arrangements. I encourage the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government to continue to use this important forum to find mutually acceptable solutions that ultimately serve the interests of national reconciliation and long-term stability. The United Nations stands ready to assist in this process upon the request of the Government.", "61. The future of Iraq will also depend on the strength of its institutions. In this respect, UNAMI will continue to provide capacity-building assistance to the Independent High Electoral Commission, a body that is central to the future of electoral processes and democratic development in Iraq.

I am confident that an open and honest discussion will do much to build confidence between the two countries.", "64. It is almost seven months now since the Security Council lifted a number of Chapter VII mandates on Iraq, a move unanimously hailed as a major step towards the normalization of its international status. I take this opportunity to reiterate my personal commitment to seeing Iraq achieve full normalization of its international status pursuant to Security Council resolution 1859 (2008). I therefore wish to remind the Government of Iraq of the importance of demonstrating to the Security Council tangible and expeditious progress on outstanding obligations pertaining to Kuwait, in particular missing Kuwaiti persons and property, including archives, and the Iraq-Kuwait boundary maintenance project. I would also like to remind the Iraqi authorities that the issue of compensation payments to Iraqi private citizens pursuant to resolution 899 (1994) is still pending. The Department of Political Affairs is awaiting a response to proposals it submitted to the Government of Iraq in this regard. I have consistently stated that progress on these fronts could create a positive momentum and enable the Security Council to take up my report pursuant to resolution 1859 (2008).

I am concerned by the loss of life at Camp New Iraq during the violent incident on 7 and 8 April. I urge the Iraqi authorities to refrain from the use of force, and to ensure adequate access for camp residents to goods and services. I also welcome the assurances by the Government of Iraq after the incident that it is committed to finding a peaceful solution which is acceptable to all. I therefore encourage all stakeholders involved to increase their efforts to explore options and seek a consensual solution that ensures respect for Iraq’s sovereignty while also being consistent with international human rights law and humanitarian principles. To this end, I call upon Member States to help to support and facilitate the implementation of any arrangement that is acceptable to the Government of Iraq and the camp residents.", "67. While significant progress has been made to improve the security situation in Iraq, the recent spate of assassinations and bombings highlights the threat armed opposition groups still pose to the country’s stability.

Iraq continued to make progress in consolidating nascent democracy, strengthening the rule of law, building institutions and overcoming the country ' s economic and social challenges. I stress once again that these efforts will be greatly enhanced if the main political parties work together in a spirit of national reconciliation to fulfil as soon as possible the legitimate aspirations of the Iraqi people to improve their lives.", "57. Today ' s Iraq is very different from that of 2003. The Iraqi people can be proud of the progress made over the past eight years. However, Iraq continues to face enormous political, security and development challenges that require strong support from the United Nations and the international community. I note with concern that, in the context of the many pressing challenges currently facing the region, the critical basic needs of the Iraqi people should not be forgotten, especially in view of the fact that the country's poverty index remains as high as 22.9 per cent. As the Security Council approaches the date of the renewal of the UNAMI mandate, I assure the Government and people of Iraq of my strong personal and United Nations commitment to continue to provide long-term support to Iraq.", "58.

While the status of Kirkuk and other disputed internal territories remains a contentious issue, I am encouraged by recent efforts by key Iraqi stakeholders to find common ground. Through the standing consultative mechanism chaired by UNAMI, political leaders, parliamentarians and local representatives in Kirkuk have engaged in dialogue on key issues affecting the future status of Kirkuk and other disputed areas, including future security arrangements. I encourage the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government to continue to use this important forum to find mutually acceptable solutions that ultimately contribute to national reconciliation and long-term stability. In the process, the United Nations stands ready to assist the Government upon request.", "61. The future of Iraq also depends on the strength of State institutions. To this end, UNAMI will continue to provide assistance for capacity-building of the Independent High Electoral Commission of Iraq, which is at the heart of Iraq ' s future electoral process and democratic development. In order to ensure that the Commission plays an independent and impartial role in the organization of the upcoming electoral process, the Government of Iraq must provide maximum transparency in the selection of the members of the Electoral Commission and prepare for the transition to the next Commission in May 2012.", "62. I strongly believe that in today ' s interdependent world, regional cooperation is essential for the long-term stability and prosperity of Iraq. It is my understanding that recent events in the region pose a challenge to the future development of Iraq's relations with some of its neighbours. I therefore urge the countries of the region to intensify their contacts with Iraq in order to resolve the outstanding differences quickly and to find concrete areas of cooperation in the political, security and development fields so that the parties concerned can achieve mutual benefit and win.

I believe that an open and frank discussion would be very useful in building confidence between the two countries.", "64. Almost seven months have elapsed since the Council lifted the sanctions imposed on Iraq under Chapter VII of the Charter, and there is agreement that the lifting of sanctions is a significant step towards the normalization of Iraq ' s international status. I take this opportunity to reiterate my own commitment to seeing Iraq fully normalize its international status in accordance with Security Council resolution 1859 (2008). I therefore remind the Government of Iraq of the need to demonstrate to the Security Council real and rapid progress with regard to the outstanding obligations related to Kuwait, in particular with regard to Kuwaiti missing persons and property, including archives, and Iraq's Kuwaiti border maintenance project. I would also like to remind the Iraqi authorities that the issue of the payment of compensation to Iraqi citizens pursuant to resolution 899 (1994) remains unresolved. The Department of Political Affairs has made recommendations to the Government of Iraq in this regard and is still awaiting a response. I have repeatedly expressed the view that, if progress is made in the above-mentioned areas, a favourable momentum can be created to enable the Security Council to consider my report under resolution 1859 (2008). To that end, my Special Representative and the High-level Coordinator will, as in the past, continue to assist Iraq and Kuwait in the final resolution of these outstanding issues in the Security Council mandate.", "65.

I note with concern the violent incidents that occurred in Camp New Iraq on 7 and 8 April, resulting in loss of life and injuries. I urge the Iraqi authorities to refrain from the use of force and to ensure that the camp personnel are provided with adequate goods and services. I am also pleased to see the assurance of the Iraqi Government following the events that it will work actively to find a peaceful solution acceptable to all parties. I therefore encourage all relevant stakeholders to intensify their efforts to explore options and find consensus solutions that ensure respect for Iraq ' s sovereignty and that are consistent with international human rights law and humanitarian principles. To this end, I appeal to Member States to assist in supporting and facilitating the implementation of any arrangements acceptable to the Government of Iraq and the camp residents.", "67. While significant progress has been made in improving the security situation in Iraq, the large number of recent assassinations and bombings underscores the fact that armed opposition groups continue to pose a major threat to Iraq ' s stability. I take this opportunity to reiterate the recent appeal of the Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights to the Government of Iraq to ensure that civilians are protected from violence and to hold individuals and groups accountable for acts of violence.", "68. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government for hosting the visit of the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs.
