His delegation shared the view expressed by the delegation of Cuba regarding the biennialization of the personnel agenda item.

Delegation of formal authority in matters of personnel of the United Nations Population Fund

Her delegation looked forward to discussing the role of Personnel Conduct Units in that regard.

As his delegation had stated during the general debate, Mexico had sponsored Security Council resolution 1502 (2003) on protection of United Nations personnel, associated personnel and humanitarian personnel in conflict zones.

My delegation supports the proposal for both the reduction and the clearance of anti personnel mines.

The next issue that my delegation considers to be very important is the safety of relief personnel.

His delegation supported the Chinese statement concerning the inclusion of the item on personnel questions in the agenda.

My delegation recognizes the important contribution of United Nations and associated personnel to the maintenance of international peace and security and deplores any action or deliberate attack against such personnel.

The current text of the draft protocol therefore offered less protection to personnel than his delegation believed they deserved.

My delegation fully shares the Secretary General apos s concerns about the security of personnel engaged in humanitarian activities.

The Chinese delegation therefore supported the adoption of further measures to enhance protection of the safety of United Nations and associated personnel.

His delegation was deeply concerned that United Nations personnel were being subjected to attacks in the performance of their duties.

Another delegation asked whether there had been coordination with other donors on the question of salary supplementation for project personnel.

45. His delegation supported the draft resolution on responsibility for attacks on United Nations and associated personnel.

My delegation condemns in the strongest terms all acts of sexual misconduct by all categories of personnel in United Nations peacekeeping missions.

Ms. Ramos Rodríguez (Cuba) said that her delegation firmly condemned all attacks against United Nations and associated personnel.

Finally, my delegation would like to explain our national policy and practice with regard to anti personnel mines.

(vi) Monitoring of the implementation of the Staff Regulations and Staff Rules and personnel policies by departments and offices at Headquarters and offices away from Headquarters to which appropriate delegation of authority on personnel matters was given

One delegation deplored personnel cuts in information centres and, regarding the staffing of the Bujumbura centre, said his Government was awaiting a Director.

21. Mr. MICHALSKI (United States of America) said that the information provided by the Director of Personnel was contrary to his delegation apos s understanding.

My delegation supports the various statements by the Secretary General on the declaration of a moratorium on the production and sale of anti personnel mines.

Mr. JADMANI (Pakistan) said that he shared the concern of the delegation of India over the omission from the agenda of the item on personnel questions.

Mr. Elmessallati (Libyan Arab Jamahiriya) said that his delegation was extremely concerned at the intensified risk facing United Nations personnel.

My delegation believes that the wisest course is to work with the personnel and the mechanisms that have proved themselves.

Protection of United Nations personnel, associated personnel and humanitarian personnel in conflict zones.

Personnel Number and type of support personnel needed.

As at previous sessions, the delegation of Cuba abstained in the vote on the draft resolution on implementation of the Ottawa Convention on anti personnel mines.

The draft resolution was a positive step towards banning the export of anti personnel land mines, and his delegation had therefore voted in favour of it.

My delegation is likewise of the view that enough personnel support needs to be provided to the Centres in order to revitalize their programme of activities.

Mr. Florent (France) (interpretation from French) My delegation wishes to speak on draft resolution A C.l 49 L.19, entitled Moratorium on the export of anti personnel land mines , which was introduced by the delegation of the United States.

My delegation also wishes to reiterate its condemnation, in the strongest terms, of all acts of sexual misconduct by all categories of personnel in United Nations peacekeeping missions.

Decentralization, delegation of authority, simplification of financial regulations, and flexible arrangements regarding personnel, shared services and premises needed to be considered in the light of effectiveness and results.

(g) Increased delegation of authority has been granted to executive offices in the field of personnel administration and made possible by the monitoring tools provided by IMIS

The delegation noted that AMIS personnel, whose total strength as at 13 December 2005, stood at 6,932 (5,623 military personnel and 1,309 civilian police), were conducting their tasks with increasing effectiveness and great commitment.

56. His delegation concurred with the delegation of New Zealand that the time had come for international law to address the question of the responsibility of individuals and entities other than States for acts carried out against personnel engaged in United Nations operations.

His delegation was pleased to note that 46 African countries had ratified the Convention and that 40 countries had destroyed their stocks of anti personnel mines.

My delegation is also concerned over the growing number of fatalities and injuries among United Nations peace keeping soldiers and other personnel deployed by the Organization.

To this end, my delegation would like to see a pool of such trained personnel made available and a comprehensive database of peacebuilding experts maintained by the Secretariat.

In this context, my delegation agrees that the virtually ubiquitous presence of mines poses a direct and great threat in most of the areas where relief personnel operate.

In that context, his delegation supported the efforts of the Security Council to expand the scope of application of the Convention on the Safety of United Nations and Associated Personnel.
