SUBJECT: USUN INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRC CONSULTATIONS
1. USUN may draw on the following points during the August
26 Security Council Consultations on the UNSC DRC Sanctions
Committee:
-- The United States would like to thank the Chair of the
Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution
1533 (2004) concerning the Democratic Republic of the Congo
for his statement.
-- We would also like to express our appreciation for the
work of the Committee's Group of Experts, which has been done
under challenging circumstances. We thank the Group of
Experts for their efforts to ensure that the measures imposed
by the Security Council are being implemented.
-- The Group of Experts reported that weapons and money
continue to flow to armed groups in the Democratic Republic
of the Congo (DRC). The United States is particularly
troubled by the continued military buildup in the region and
the proliferation of new armed groups.
-- We note with grave concern the ongoing activities of the
FDLR and the CNDP, and recall that resolution 1804 (2008)
demands that all members of the FDLR and other armed groups
immediately lay down their arms and present themselves for
disarmament, demobilization, repatriation, resettlement, and
reintegration.
-- The United States encourages the 1533 Committee and its
Group of Experts to focus on concrete measures to interrupt
the arms flows and financial streams supplying armed groups.
-- We appreciate that the Group of Experts plans to provide
more documentation to substantiate a number of the assertions
in its most recent interim report. We encourage the Group of
Experts to use the remaining time in its mandate to provide
specific recommendations on ways the Council might refine the
measures and ensure their implementation.
-- Finally, the United States expresses support for the
recommendations included in the Group of Experts' interim
report as efforts to work towards securing an environment of
lasting peace and security in the Great Lakes region.

IO/PSC is the point of contact.
