Mr. Denisov
The Russian Federation has been closely following the complex political and humanitarian situation in the Sudanese province of Darfur. We share the assessment of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative, Jan Pronk, with regard to its complex development.
The Government of the Sudan has achieved a certain amount of progress in implementing its obligations under Security Council resolu…
Mr. Wang Guangya
Over the past few months, the situation in Darfur has gradually improved and it is now moving in the right direction, thanks to: the joint efforts of all the parties, in particular the African Union; the joint communiqué between the Sudanese Government and the Secretary- General, Mr. Kofi Annan, signed on 3 July; and, especially, the signing in early August of the Plan of Action by the Sudanese F…
Mr. Danforth
Since he appointed me as special envoy more than three years ago, I have had numerous discussions with President Bush on the subject of the Sudan. Yesterday afternoon he phoned me to ask that I convey his strongly held views on the resolution just adopted by the Security Council. He said that Darfur is a catastrophe that the Council should address on an urgent basis. He
underscored the importanc…
Mr. Akram
Pakistan abstained in the vote on the draft resolution adopted by the Council today, and I would like to explain our reasons.
On 30 July this year, the Council adopted resolution 1556 (2004). Within a week of the adoption of that resolution, the Government of the Sudan and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Pronk, agreed on the Darfur Plan of Action. The Plan acknowledged t…
Mr. Pleuger
We welcome the fact that the Council has adopted resolution 1564 (2004). It addresses a situation in Darfur that was dramatic when the Council adopted resolution 1556 (2004) and is still dramatic today.
Since the end of July, we have seen some progress on the part of the Sudanese Government. It has to be said, however, that this progress was limited in scope and that, more important, there was n…
Mr. De La Sablière
France voted in favour of the resolution that the United States submitted to the Council for consideration. We have always stated that we should pursue the sole objective of saving human lives. To that end, the Council must act resolutely and responsibly. Indeed, that is the message that we have repeatedly heard from the Secretary-General, whose presence we welcome here today.
First, we must be …
Mr. Adechi
Benin voted in favour of the resolution that the Council has just adopted, marking a new turning point in the international community’s mobilization on behalf of the Sudanese people and in the search for a speedy resolution to the humanitarian tragedy in Darfur. Throughout the negotiations, my delegation strove to contribute to the forging of consensus and the followup to the report of the Secret…
Mr. Sardenberg
Brazil voted in favour of resolution 1564 (2004) on the understanding that its main thrust is that of saving lives in Darfur. When resolution 1556 (2004) was adopted on 30 July 2004 our delegation expressed the understanding that such resolution was the first of a series of decisions to be taken in due time by the Security Council with a view to promoting peace and security in Darfur, alleviating…
The President
I now call on the representative of Chile, but I wish first to congratulate him on his national day, today.
Mr. Muñoz
Today Chile voted in favour of this resolution, in order to send a clear political message. We want to see full compliance on Sudan’s part with its commitments, and we want to halt the humanitarian catastrophe in Darfur pursuant to the obligations undertaken in resolution 1556 (2004) and in the joint communiqué with the Secretary-General of 3 July. While we duly appreciate the fact that the Gover…
Mr. Motoc
Romania voted in favour of resolution 1564 (2004) for the following six reasons.
First, we find the text before us to be a follow-up consistent with resolution 1556 (2004), which laid down the policy course defined by the Council in its treatment of the situation in western Sudan. That
resolution received wide support in the Council, and we considered it the framework resolution for the Council…
Mr. Baja
The Philippines voted in favour of resolution 1564 (2004), just adopted by the Security Council. The resolution gives hope to the victims of the human catastrophe now taking place in
Darfur and challenges the conscience of the international community to come to their aid with bread and with justice. Resolution 1564 (2004) also signals to the parties in Sudan — the Government, the rebel groups an…
The President
I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Spain.
Spain believes that the resolution we have just adopted, which my delegation joined in sponsoring, serves the purposes the Council has always held foremost throughout the crisis before us, in particular relieving the suffering of the civilian population in the Darfur region, ending the conflict in that area and putting an en…
Mr. Erwa
First, I wish to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council, and I thank you for your cooperation with us and for opening the door for dialogue in these very difficult circumstances.
The Security Council finally concluded its consultations on the appropriate means to enable my Government to continue to honour the commitments undertaken following the hasty adoption…
The President
I thank the representative of the Sudan for the kind words he addressed to me.
Mr. Danforth
I had not intended to speak further until, unfortunately, the representative of the Sudan strayed from the point of our deliberations and launched what we would consider to be an unseemly and uncalled-for attack on the United States: an attack which was totally off the point that is now before the Security Council.
The point before the Security Council, once again, is to protect the people of Da…
The President
The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council will remain seized of the matter.
