Mr. Negroponte
With today’s vote we acknowledge an important milestone. By 30 June Iraq will reassert its sovereignty, a step forward on the path towards a democratically elected Government.
The unanimous passage of resolution 1546 (2004) is a vivid demonstration of broad international support for — and I quote from the text — “a federal, democratic, pluralist and unified Iraq, in which there is full respect f…
Mr. Baali
I will start my statement by paying a special and well-deserved tribute to my countryman Lakhdar Brahimi, without whom no resolution on Iraq would have been contemplated, let alone adopted.
The adoption of the resolution on Iraq constitutes an historic moment for the proud Iraqi people, who after thirty years of dictatorship and fifteen months of foreign occupation will, inshallah, recover, by 3…
Mr. Akram
Pakistan voted in favour of resolution 1546 (2004), which has just been adopted unanimously by the Security Council.
The people of Iraq suffered for decades under an oppressive regime, endured several wars initiated by that regime, was pauperised by prolonged international economic sanctions and then traumatized by another war. This resolution is designed, in our view, to prepare the way for Ira…
Mr. Wang Guangya
Today is an important day for the people of Iraq and for the United Nations. Resolution 1546 (2004), which the Security Council has just adopted unanimously, is a milestone marking the end of the past and the beginning of the future. It will prove to be a historic turning point in the Iraqi political process and turns a new page in the relationship between the United Nations and Iraq. It will hel…
Mr. De La Sablière
France voted in favour of resolution 1546 (2004), which the Council has just adopted unanimously. My country approached the discussion of this resolution with three goals for the Iraqi people and for the United Nations: first, to ensure that after 30 June the Iraqi interim Government will have all the attributes of sovereignty and complete authority to govern the country, in spite of the need to …
Mr. Pleuger
Permit me at the outset to pay special tribute to the tireless efforts of Lakhdar Brahimi and his team. Their idealism and their political
skills have been instrumental in the formation of the new interim Government of Iraq.
Germany welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 1546 (2004). As a result of proposals and amendments made by various Security Council members — including the French a…
Mr. Konuzin
Today, the Security Council has adopted a new resolution on Iraq that will become an important milestone in that country’s history. The Russian Federation supported the adoption of this resolution in the light of our commitment to a prompt political settlement of the situation in Iraq under United Nations auspices and in order to normalize the situation in the entire region. During the complex pr…
Mr. Muñoz
The resolution just adopted is of historic importance for the future of Iraq. It marks the end of the occupation of that country and the beginning of a stage during which the Iraqis can once again take control of their political destiny, their natural resources and their sovereignty.
No negotiation can produce perfect results. This is the best possible resolution given current circumstances. I s…
Mr. Yáñez Barnuevo
Spain has voted in favour of Security Council resolution 1546 (2004), thus joining the consensus expressed by the members of the Council. The Spanish delegation has cooperated actively in the formation of that consensus, offering ideas and contributions to the process of drafting the text of the resolution together with other delegations, particularly those of Brazil and Chile.
For us, this is c…
Mr. Sardenberg
The resolution unanimously adopted today by the Security Council marks the end of the occupation of Iraq and the reassertion of all prerogatives of full sovereignty by the interim Government that will take office by 30 June.
Brazil participated in a constructive spirit in the negotiating process that led to the adoption of today’s resolution, because we kept in mind the importance of the Securit…
Mr. Motoc
What is now resolution 1546 (2004) was worked out in numerous meetings and lengthy discussions of the Security Council. We have the sponsors and all our other colleagues to thank for this outcome. This is also a good time to commend Secretary-General Kofi Annan and his Special Adviser, Lakhdar Brahimi, for the leadership and skilled diplomacy they have shown in a context that was not only excepti…
Mr. Gaspar Martins
Angola voted in favour of the resolution and we are proud to be part of the consensus reached within the Security Council in adopting that seminal text. This was a wish that we expressed from the very beginning of our consultations. With this, we have done justice to the validity and vitality of multilateralism. When things looked so dark in Iraq, the United Nations played the role that only it c…
Mr. Adechi
Resolution 1546 (2004), which we have just adopted unanimously, paves the way for the effective restoration of Iraqi sovereignty, as called for in the timetable for the political process. We welcome the positive developments in the negotiations that led to the adoption of the resolution, which establishes a normative framework for the end of the occupation, the restoration of the full sovereignty…
The President
I shall now make a brief statement in my capacity as representative of the Philippines.
Yesterday, we were divided on Iraq. Today, we are united on Iraq. It is a great day, therefore, for Iraq, the Security Council, the United Nations and the international community. The Philippines is
particularly pleased that this eloquent expression of unity on Iraq has happened during our presidency. In man…
