Public perceptions of standards as the vehicle for improving the lives, livelihoods and futures of all the people of Kosovo have become more positive.

My delegation believes that the prevention of armed conflict is essential to sparing children the untold suffering that threatens their mental and physical health and their future.

My Special Representative has assessed, at this stage, that public perception of the standards as a vehicle for improving the lives and futures of all people has become more positive.

Although the Frente POLISARIO was vastly outnumbered by the Moroccan military, the Saharans were resolute, for they were struggling for their land, their homes and their future.

As they leave the clinic and head home, they have already taken steps to improve not just their child s health, but also his or her educational prospects and long term future.

I count on the Security Council to continue supporting the efforts of the institutions and the people of Kosovo to develop and shape their society and their future in Europe as I have said, a multi ethnic, stable, tolerant and democratic Kosovo at peace at home and at peace with its neighbours.
