1. The Department requests that USUN draw on the points
below during the July 18 UNSC consultations on the report of
Special Representative of the Secretary General Ian Martin
concerning the UN Mission in Nepal (UNMIN). End Action
Request.
2. Begin points:
-- Mr. President, the United States thanks SRSG Martin for
his most recent report, and is pleased to support the
Government of Nepal's request for an extension of UNMIN at a
reduced level so that it can complete remaining elements of
its mandate in fulfilling the peace process.
-- Today, I would like to make four points:
-- First, the United States strongly supports the United
Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN),commends the work of
Special Representative Martin and his staff and looks forward
to working with him to complete the portions ofthe UNMIN
mandate relating to management of arms and armed personnel;
-- Second, the United States urges all of Nepal's political
parties to maintain their resolve to settle their differences
through peaceful dialogue so that the future of the Nepalese
people may be characterized by democracy and economic
development;
-- Third, the United States also strongly encourages the new
Government to address to the extent possible the concerns of
historically disadvantaged groups, including in the Terai, so
that all parties and groups committed to a new, democratic
Nepal will share equally in the process of nation-building;
-- Finally, the U.S. has committed to provide nearly $10
million in assistance in support of Nepal's transition to
democracy in areas such as security sector reform, conflict
resolution, civil society, supporting legal institutions and
political parties. We urge other donors to offer maximum
support to ensure that Nepal makes a successful transition.
-- We look forward to the continuing reports of the Secretary
General, and pledge to remain engaged in helping to ensure
that UNMIN successfully carries out its full mandate.
