Bissau: O que diz relatório de Ban Ki-moon

I call on all national stakeholders, including the “Military Command”, PAIGC, and other parliamentary and non-parliamentary parties, to commit themselves to the ECOWAS-led mediation process aimed at finding a sustainable solution to the political crisis in the country. My Special Representative will continue to work closely with ECOWAS in this regard. 34. The approach to addressing the crisis in the country must be a phased and measured one, commencing with inclusive dialogue and mediation, accompanied by targeted sanctions as needed, to ensure the swift and peaceful return to civilian rule. 35. I fully support the call by the Security Council for the international community to synchronize its efforts and to speak with one voice in finding a solution to the situation in Guinea-Bissau. In this regard, I encourage all international partners to strengthen their cooperation with my Special Representative and UNIOGBIS on the ground and to work closely together to ensure that all efforts towards political stability and peacebuilding in Guinea-Bissau are harmonized. 36. I encourage Guinea-Bissau’s international partners to remain committed to a long-term engagement in the country to support the people of Guinea-Bissau in addressing the medium- to long-term goal of resolving the underlying causes of the current crisis. I also urge the immediate implementation of security sector reform. 37. The problem of drug-trafficking in Guinea-Bissau needs to be urgently addressed. The political and military leadership have accused each other of being involved in the illegal narcotics trade. Concerted efforts to combat this problem could go a long way in addressing impunity in Guinea-Bissau. I call on Member States to reinforce their commitment and efforts in fighting this scourge at the points of production, transit and consumption and on the basis of shared responsibility for effective results. Regional support, through ECOWAS, to complement national efforts will be crucial as the scourge is transnational and goes beyond boundaries. I therefore welcome the decision of ECOWAS Heads of State to urge the ECOWAS Commission to expedite action on the implementation of its operational plan on drug-trafficking. 38. Any lasting solution to instability in Guinea-Bissau should include concrete actions to fight impunity and ensure that those responsible for political assassinations, including those committed in 2009, and other serious crimes such as drug-trafficking-related activities and breaches of constitutional order are brought to justice. It is time to put an end to the cycle of impunity in Guinea-Bissau and to establish a stable political environment conducive to socio-economic development and the realization of human rights in the country. (É de 30 de Abril, este relatório, e deverá ser debatido pelo Conselho de Segurança em 7 de Maio)
