UN Standing Advisory Committee on Security Questions in Central Africa meets in Libreville, Gabon
Under the Chairmanship of Gabon’s Minister of Defence, the
twenty-eighth ministerial meeting of the United Nations Standing
Advisory Committee on Security Questions in Central Africa took place
in Libreville, Gabon, from 4 to 8 May. The meeting was attended by all
eleven countries of Central Africa, including the ministers of Burundi,
Cameroun, Congo, and Sao Tome and Principe, and vice-ministers of
Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The meeting was formally opened by
Gabon’s Prime Minister, Mr Jean Eyeghe Ndong. His statement underlined
progress made in building peace in Angola, Congo and Rwanda over the
past 16 years. He also stressed the need for existing peace and security
mechanisms to function effectively, and to redefine their objectives to
respond adequately to new threats related to territorial claims or
attempts at secession. Ms Agnès Marcaillou, Chief of the Regional
Disarmament Branch of UNODA delivered a message on behalf of the
Secretary-General which highlighted issues of concern to the Committee,
including the deterioration of the situation between Chad and Sudan, and
the armed violence raging in Eastern DRC.
The Libreville meeting also demonstrated the
successful revitalization of the Committee achieved thanks to the
increased cooperation between the UN Secretariat, the member states of
the Committee, and their subregional organization, the Economic
Commission for Central African States which concluded a Memorandum of
Understanding with UNODA in 2007. During the meeting, the member states
reviewed the peace and security situations of Central African countries,
an issue which is central to the UN Committee’s mandate to build
dialogue and confidence amongst States of this fragile subregion.
The ministerial meeting took a number of concrete
decisions beneficial to the consolidation of subregional approaches to
arms control, as well as security sector reform, such as the adoption of
a Code of Conduct for Armed and Security Forces in Central Africa,
containing a set of guidelines supporting States’ governance of their
forces, and a request for the Secretariat to prepare a first draft legal
instrument on the control of small arms and light weapons in Central
Africa.
