I shall restrict my remarks to agenda item 117.

Mr. Laassel (Morocco) (spoke in French) My statement will address agenda item 42 on the Global Agenda for Dialogue among Civilizations, and agenda item 43 on a culture of peace.

During the past year, United Nations reform has been high on my agenda.

Stabilizing the western Balkans remains a priority on my country's foreign policy agenda.

In the view of my delegation, a significant component of that broader agenda is the rule of law.

As to the specific question of my United States colleague, under which agenda items the four items that you have mentioned are placed, I recommend him to read my food for thought paper, because there the items are clearly allocated to the agenda items.

My country continues to face critical challenges in determining our political agenda, which in turn affect our development efforts.

My view is that, whether or not the Commission agrees on a written agenda for its substantive session, we must remember that outside these walls the disarmament agenda is very much alive outside these walls.

As I reported last year, most of the reform elements contained in my agenda for further change of 2002 have now been implemented.

In that regard, my delegation highly commends UNESCO for the major role it played in implementing the Global Agenda for Dialogue among Civilizations.

My delegation thanks you, Sir, for the opportunity to discuss agenda item 9, Report of the Security Council , and agenda item 117, Question of equitable representation on and increase in the membership of the Security Council and related matters .

Adoption of the agenda (agenda item 2)

The Jamaat e Islami Party, indeed, told me during my stay that they had a 30 year agenda to introduce Sharia law into Bangladesh.

It is my understanding that this Commission, as a compromise and in the spirit of multilateralism, is prepared to accept my suggestion as one of the agenda items for a substantive session of the Disarmament Commission.

With reference to the issue of content, therefore, my delegation is of the view that peacebuilding should be structured as part of a broader development agenda.

There are no further speakers on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.

Mr. Kapoma (Zambia) My delegation wishes to take this opportunity to thank the Secretary General for his informative reports on the agenda items we are discussing today.

I am taking the floor on behalf of the New Agenda Coalition partners, namely, Brazil, Egypt, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, Sweden and my own country, South Africa.
