The Secretary-General
I am delighted that the General Assembly has now agreed in detail on how to implement the world summit decision to establish a Peacebuilding Commission.
That achievement marks a turning point in our efforts to help States and societies manage the difficult transition from war to peace. Following last week’s creation of a revitalized Central Emergency Response Fund, today’s measure marks another …
The President
I now call on those delegations that wish to speak in explanation of position. May I remind delegations that explanations of vote are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Bolton
The United States was pleased to support the concurrent resolutions in the Security Council and the General Assembly which have now established the Peacebuilding Commission that our heads of State and Government committed to at the September summit.

General Assembly on their tireless work on those reso…
Mr. Abdelaziz
The delegation of Egypt would never have accepted or gone along with resolution 60/180 on the operationalization of the Peacebuilding Commission were it not for our deep sense of belonging to Africa and our conviction that millions of Africans in countries emerging from or relapsing into conflict are hopeful that the Peacebuilding Commission will be operationalized at the earliest possible date. …
Mr. Stagno Ugarte
In considering the resolution on the Peacebuilding Commission (resolution 60/180), I would like to reiterate our position on the legal nature of the decision that we are taking today. For Costa Rica, there is no doubt whatsoever that the Peacebuilding Commission was established on 16 September by General Assembly resolution 60/1. The decision to establish the Peacebuilding Commission was effectiv…

Mr. Akram
This is the first major decision that we have taken in the follow-up to the decisions of our leaders at the 2005 summit. Yes, we have been able to respect the time lines that were indicated by our leaders to operationalize the Peacebuilding Commission by the end of the year.
Pakistan attaches great importance to that decision, given the fact that the concept of the three principal organs and of …
Mr. Berruga
Mexico recognizes the fundamental importance of establishing the Peacebuilding Commission as soon as possible. It is particularly important for countries
emerging from conflict situations, which need that support from the international community as they move towards the consolidation of a lasting and sustainable peace. Our heads of State or Government pledged to make the Commission operational b…
Mr. Maurer
Switzerland welcomes the adoption of resolution 60/180, on the Peacebuilding Commission, which marks a milestone in the implementation of decisions taken by our heads of State or Government at the 2005 world summit.
Following the end of a conflict, the principal actors in the fields of peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance and development must work together to rebuild a country. Those various ac…
Mr. Malmierca Díaz
Cuba understands the importance of providing disinterested assistance and cooperation to countries emerging from internal armed conflict. At the same time, we believe that it is crucial to deal with the root causes of those conflicts in a timely manner.
My delegation decided to join the consensus on draft resolution A/60/L.40 in order not to hinder the establishment of the Peacebuilding Commissi…

We have strengthened the United Nations today through the decision taken on the Peacebuilding Commission. But, equally important, we are now better placed to deal with complex postconflict situations.

The President
I thank the representative of Norway for the planned Norwegian contribution to the peacebuilding fund.
Mr. Sardenberg
Brazil joined in the adoption of resolution 60/180 on the implementation of the decision on the Peacebuilding Commission. We did so based on the need to fill the institutional gap for coordinating activities in the economic and social spheres required to consolidate and sustain peace in post-conflict situations, as well as to help prevent situations leading to countries lapsing or relapsing into …
Mr. Dauth
I am honoured, of course, once again to speak for Canada and New Zealand, as well as my own country, Australia.

In that regard, we commend the Secretary- General’s initiative an…
Mr. Oshima
