Excellency,
Following my recent visit to Munich, I write to express to you rhy gratitude for your warm welcome and hospitality, and to thank you once again for your public support of the United Nations and the work we do.
My participation in the Munich Conference on Security Policy was especially important given that we are at a critical juncture in the evolving debate on the challenges and threats facing the international community. It was an appropriate forum and opportunity for me to speak publicly about issues that demonstrate the continued indispensability of the United Nations. During our meeting, we discussed several issues of mutual concern. While all of them are important, I was impressed by the affirmation of your continued commitment to Africa and your plan to establish an African Forum in Germany, which you hoped would cooperate closely with the United Nations. I wish to reiterate once again my support and that of the United Nations for the forum, and look forward to hearing more from you on the process of its establishment.
Finally, let me thank you also for the German Government's commitment to increase its Official Development Assistance (ODA). I was pleased to hear that benchmarks are already in place for Germany to meet the ODA target of 0.7%. By devising such a "road map", Germany will surely encourage other nations to follow its example. I fully share your views that the ongoing campaign for the International Finance Facility (IFF), vital as it is, should not detract attention and focus from the ODA. Realizing our ODA goals and the IFF measures is crucial to our collective accomplishment of the Millennium Development Goals.
His Excellency Mr. Horst Kohler President of the Federal Republic of Germany Berlin I look forward to continuing to work with you on these and the various other challenges that lie ahead.
Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration. THE SECRETARY-GENERAL

Excellency,
Following my recent visit to Munich, I write to express my gratitude for having had the opportunity to exchange views with you on issues of mutual concern to Germany and the United Nations, and for your public support of the United Nations and the work we do.
I found it very useful to discuss with you a whole range of issues, including the situations in Iraq and in Iran, and the Middle East Process. Since the Sharm el-Sheikh Summit between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, the process has taken a positive turn, which I hope is truly a silver lining. As I mentioned, I will be attending the Middle East Peace Conference in London in early March, as well as a meeting of the Quartet.
On Afghanistan, I came away from our meeting mindful that the thinking in Berlin points toward a "Bonn-3" process. If that is the way to go, it would be important to get all the key players to sign on. Unquestionably, such a process would be useful in addressing the modalities for tackling residual issues, as well as the drug situation, which requires collective effort and tactful handling. Additionally, the forum would also offer an opportunity to the Afghani people to start assuming ownership of their institutions and political process, whilst being reassured that the international community does not intend to abandon them.
I was also grateful for the opportunity to address the Munich Conference on Security Policy, which is a very pertinent forum for discussing the challenges and threats facing the international community.
His Excellency Mr. Joschka Fischer Deputy Chancellor and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany Berlin I look forward to continuing to work with you on all matters of mutual interest.
Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Dear Mr. Stoiber,
Following my recent visit to Munich, I write to thank you warmly for your generous hospitality and for the splendid dinner at the Munich Residence, during which I received the Award for Peace through Dialogue of the Munich Security Conference. It was a great honour for me to be the first to be awarded this medal. But this award is also a tribute to the United Nations and its global mission of peace and development. I would like to thank you once again for your public support of the Organization and of my own efforts.
Allow me to also express my appreciation for our meeting before the dinner. I found it useful for us to have the opportunity to hold a frank and open discussion on a number of issues of mutual concern such as recent developments in Iraq, the situations in North Korea and in Iran, and the reform of the United Nations. I was particularly interested in your candid and interesting remarks on the expansion of the Security Council.
I have taken note of your kind invitation to attend the opening of the Soccer World Championship in Munich on 9 June 2006. I would certainly enjoy it and hope to be able to respond to you in due time.
Finally, let me thank you for the beautiful gift which you so kindly gave to me. It will be a fond reminder of my visit to Munich.
Yours sincerely,

ACTIVITIES OF SECRETARY-GENERAL IN GERMANY 11-13 FEBRUARY
The Secretary-General arrived in Munich from London on Friday evening, 11 February.
On Saturday morning he had a breakfast meeting with the President of Germany, Dr. Horst Kohler. The President affirmed his commitment to the 0.7 per cent of gross national product target for official development assistance. Although Germany is currently at 0.28, Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder had publicly announced Germany's intention to reach 0.7 by the year 2015. They also talked of African political and economic development, as well as United Nations reform. In closing, the President offered his sympathy and support for the Secretary-General saying, "We know what we have in you."
The Secretary-General then attended the opening of the 41st Munich Conference on Security Policy. German Defence Minister Peter Struck delivered the opening address on behalf of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, who was ill. United States Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld then spoke and took questions. At one point, he turned to the Secretary-General, said that he had just returned from Iraq, and commented that the work of United Nations electoral expert Carlos Valenzuela there was impressive. The audience applauded.
After a brief exchange with members of the United Nations Association of Germany, the Secretary-General held a series of bilateral meetings in the margins of the Conference, starting with German Defence Minister Peter Struck. The Secretary-General said that with the planning for deployment of the United Nations's 19th peacekeeping operation in Sudan, the Organization was reaching the limits of its physical capacity. He asked for any assistance that Germany might provide. They also discussed Afghanistan, Kosovo,. Sudan and the aftermath of the South-Asian tsunami.
His next meeting was with the Secretary-General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, who asked him how he saw things developing in Afghanistan. The Secretary-General welcomed the expanded NATO presence in that country. They went on to discuss political and narcotics issues there. They then went on to Iraq, Kosovo, the Middle East and NATO-United Nations relations.
On Saturday afternoon, he talked with the Chairwoman of the opposition CDU party, Angela Merkel, who asked him first about United Nations reform, including prospects for a German seat on an enlarged Security Council. They also discussed the current and future role for the United Nations in Iraq's transition and efforts to pacify the Darfur region of Sudan.
Then he met with the Deputy Foreign Minister of Romania, Teodor Baconschi. Their agenda included Iraq, Kosovo, Georgia and United Nations reform.
(more) For information media • not an official record • also available at http://www.un.org/News - 2 - Press Release SG/T/2436 15 February 2005
After that, he saw Javier Solana, High Representative of the European Union for Common, Foreign and Security Policy, for a review of the situations in Iraq, Iran, the Middle East and Sudan.
That evening, he had a meeting with the Bavarian President and leader of the CSU party, Edmund Stoiber. Mr. Stoiber asked the Secretary-General for his views on efforts to contain the nuclear programme of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. In that connection, they also discussed Iran's nuclear ambitions, and they touched on the situation in Iraq and United Nations reform as well.
The Secretary-General and Mr. Stoiber then went to Emperor's Hall, where the Secretary-General was presented with the first "Peace through Dialogue" award at a dinner ceremony. The Secretary-General told the more than 300 guests gathered there that he was honoured to receive the award, which he saw as an affirmation of the importance of the Office of the Secretary-General and of the United Nations itself.
"Like all my predecessors", he said, "I have sought to use my office to build bridges between parties, wherever I believed an opportunity for the peaceful resolution of disputes might be found." Inevitably, he added, "my success rate in resolving disputes peacefully has been mixed. That comes with the job description."
In this work, he went on, "I have had to confront not only the doubts of others, but my own as well. But I have persisted, because by precedent, by principle, by Charter and by duty, I am bound to exhaust peaceful means to further international peace and security." (See press release SG/SM/9719.)
On Sunday morning, the Secretary-General addressed the 41st Munich Conference on Security Policy, pointing to the advances in global security evidenced by the Sudan peace agreement, the Palestinian-Israeli ceasefire and the elections in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"I have come here today", he said, "to call on Europe and America to do something more this year; to think ahead and to help plant the seeds of long-term global collective security". The message is simple, he went on: "our global security environment has been transformed, and our global collective security system, including the United Nations, must be transformed too."
"Let us banish from our minds the thought that some threats affect only some of us", he said. "We all share responsibility for each other's security. Indeed in strengthening the security of others, we protect the security of our own."
He laid out a four-part formula to give effect to this vision: 1) strengthen our collective defences; 2} when prevention fails, consider the use of force; 3) equip ourselves to build lasting peace in war-torn lands and 4) our goals should be a world of peaceful and capable states.... We must take democratisation, development and human rights seriously.
If Member States act now, he concluded, we will have a more efficient, more effective and more equitable collective security system. "And if you keep in mind the people who are losing their lives today in Sudan and elsewhere", he said, "that would be a precious gift to humanity."
(more) - 3 - Press Release SG/T/2436 15 February 2005
On the subject of Sudan he said, "People are dying every single day, while we fail to protect them. Additional measures are urgently required. Those organisations with real capacity -- and NATO, as well as the EU are well represented in this room -- must give serious consideration to what, in practical terms, they can do to help end this tragedy." (See SG/SM/9717.)
He then took a number of questions from the audience.
In the margins of the Conference, the Secretary-General met the German Foreign Minister, Joschka Fischer, who had just returned from visiting the tsunami-devastated province of Aceh in Indonesia. The Secretary-General thanked the German people for their generosity in responding to the crisis in South Asia. The Foreign Minister commented that the United Nations had played a crucial role in the relief effort, demonstrating once again its indispensability. They also discussed Israeli-Palestinian issues, post-election Iraq, the Iranian nuclear issue and Afghanistan.
In the afternoon, the Secretary-General went to Town Hall to sign the Golden Book of the city of Munich. He was welcomed by the Lord Mayor, Christian Ude. He thanked the Mayor for the warm reception and presented him in turn with two books of his own -- the report of the High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change and the other on the UN Millennium Project. Both reports, he said would provide a focus of discussion and debate in the months leading up to the September Summit, which he hoped would take far-reaching measures to adapt and renew the United Nations. "I believe that historic, fundamental progress is possible", he said. "But it will depend on the will of governments, and on the engagement of civil society and individual citizens, such as all of you."
The Secretary-General later departed Munich for New York, where he arrived on Sunday evening.

MUNICH SECURITY CONFERENCE SPEECH
1. Attached is the revised Munich Security Conference Speech', incorporating the changes you requested as conveyed by Michael to Robert.
2. In addition, there are two slight tweaksj on the advice of Bob Orr (who did not manage to review the draft until very late today) to soften the degree of endorsement of Panel recommendations, so as not to tie your hands in the final package you put forward in March. In particular:
i. On non-proliferation, rather than saying: "That is why I support the High-Level Panel's proposals for X,Y,Z", the text says: "The Panel has made many forward- looking proposals, including X,Y,Z. Member states must summon the will to act to strengthen the non-proliferation regime."
ii. On terrorism, rather than say the UN's anti-terrorism strategy "should include" a trust fund and greater UN assistance to States, the text says that "The Panel recommends" that it should do so.
3. Consistent with the Darfur Report, the crimes are described as "war crimes, which may well amount to crimes against humanity".

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
ADDRESS TO THE 41ST MUNICH CONFERENCE ON SECURITY POLICY: 'A MORE SECURE WORLD: THE FUTURE ROLE OF THE UNITED NATIONS"
Munich. 13 February 2005
! Deleted:, Thank you, very much, Professor Teltschik, for inviting me to address this famous conference, which has long been a leading forum for discussion of international security. I am greatly honoured to be the first Secretary-General of the United Nations to do so.
Excellencies and dear friends,
Anyone who looks at the global security situation today can see that we face many daunting challenges. But we can also see hopeful signs in humanity's endless quest for peace.
Old foes have agreed to share power in Sudan. The Israelis and Palestinians have committed themselves to a ceasefire. The Afghan people are in charge of their destiny. And the Iraqi people, with heads bloodied but unbowed, have begun the long march in that direction too.
A stable and democratic Iraq, at peace with itself and its neighbours, is vital - for Iraqis, for the region, for the entire international community. The United Nations must play its full part in helping to_achieve that goal. We are proud of the role the United Nations played in helping the Iraqis conduct the recent election. And we are determined j Deleted: Iraqi people to help them jn the important next steps in the transition. The key to success in Iraq is inclusiveness. The United Nations is already engaged in efforts to reach out to those groups - mainly Sunni Arabs - who stayed away from the elections, for whatever reason, but are willing to pursue their goals through peaceful means.
I Deleted: As we help to broaden the ^Ve will also, if the Iraqis ask us. provide them with all >the technical assistance we i transition process, w can — in preparing the constitution, in organizing October's referendum to approve it, and { Deleted: offer the Iraqis in holding the subsequent parliamentary elections. Meanwhile, 23 UN agencies, fund and programs are working today to coordinate international aid and help rebuild the country.
I am greatly heartened by the efforts of long-time allies to come together to nurture the fragile shoots of peace in Iraq. I have come here today to call on Europe and America to do something more this year: to think ahead, and to help plant the seeds of long term global collective security.
Next month, I will be placing before the Member States of the United Nations a blueprint for the most far-reaching reform of the international security system since the establishment of the United Nations in 1945. My report will draw heavily on the recommendations of the 16 eminent men and women who served on the High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change.
Their message is simple: our global security environment has been transformed, and our global collective security system, including the United Nations, must be transformed too.
We all know that today's threats can cross borders in an instant, and can appear, sometimes literally, from a clear blue sky. But what is less understood is just how mutually vulnerable we are: - If New York or London or Paris or Berlin were hit by a nuclear terrorist attack, it might not only kill hundreds of thousands in an instant. It could also devastate the global economy, thereby plunging millions into poverty in developing countries.
- If a new deadly disease broke out in one country, international air travelers could quickly and unwittingly spread it to every corner of the earth.
If a country is engulfed in civil war, it can destabilize whole regions, radicalize populations, become a haven for terrorism and organized crime, and hasten the spread of disease.
- And if perpetrators of mass atrocities are allowed to get away with their crimes, it only emboldens others to do the same.
So, in this era of interdependence, let us banish from our minds the thought that some threats affect only some of us. We all share a responsibility for each other's security, and we must work together to build a safer world. Indeed, in strengthening the security of others, we protect the security of our own.
I believe we must act, in four areas, to give effect to this vision.
First, we must strengthen our collective defences, to give us the best chance of preventing latent threats from becoming imminent, and imminent threats from becoming actual.
Take the threat of nuclear proliferation. For decades, the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty has helped prevent a cascade of nuclear proliferation. But unless new Deleted: That is why I support 1 steps are taken now, we might face such a cascade very soon. J^he Ffigh-Level fanel has [ Deleted: Panel's made many forward-looking recommendations, including;: f Deleted: proposals for - Tougher inspect! on rules; - Incentives for States to forgo domestic uranium enrichment; - A fissile material cut-off treaty; - A tighter timeline for the Global Threat Reduction Initiative; - Broader participation in the Proliferation Security Initiative; Closer cooperation between the IAEA and the Security Council; And concrete steps on disarmament. Member States must summon the will to act to strengthen the non-proliferation regime.
In the fight against terrorism, the United Nations must put its convening power, normative strength and global reach to good use. Next month in Madrid, I intend to >• < r T • i 1 T • rr,i „ i vI Deleted: It should include outline an anti-terronsm strategy for the United Nations. TThe Panel recommends the creation of a trust fund to help Member States meet binding anti-terrorism obligations imposed by the Security Council, and greater UN assistance to help them do so.
The United Nations must show zero tolerance of terrorism, of any kind, for any reason. The Panel was able to reach consensus on a definition of terrorism - something that has eluded Member States until now. States should now use that definition to finalize and adopt a comprehensive anti-terrorism convention, making clear that any targeting of civilians or non-combatants is totally unacceptable.
Our world must also take bio-security much more seriously. As the Panel report shows, it would be comparatively easy for terrorists to cause mass death by using agents such as anthrax or weaponized smallpox. We saw with SARS how quickly a new infectious disease can spread. Let's not wait until something has gone terribly wrong to act collectively to meet this threat. I encourage the Security Council to begin work now, in consultation with the World Health Organization, to strengthen global public health defences.
Second, when prevention fails, and peaceful means have been exhausted, we may have to consider the use of force. The decision to use force is never easy. It is among the gravest decision anyone I Deleted: guidelines can ever be called upon to make. The Panel has proposed^n approach to help all States, and the Security Council, to think through such decisions, and their consequences, and to reach consensus.
The Panel sees no need to amend Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. Article 51 preserves the right of all States to act in self-defence against armed attack. Most lawyers recognize that this includes the right to take pre-emptive action against an imminent threat.
However, as the Panel points out, in today's world we may also face threats that are not imminent, but which could become actual with little or no warning, and might culminate in nightmare scenarios if left unaddressed. The Security Council is fully empowered by the Charter to deal with such threats. It must stand ready to do so.
We must also remember that State sovereignty carries responsibilities as well as rights - including the responsibility to protect citizens from genocide or other mass atrocities. When States fail to meet their responsibilities, the Security Council must be prepared to assume them - including, if necessary, by authorizing the use offeree to save innocent life. I therefore welcome the report's emphasis on the responsibility to protect. I believe Member States should embrace this carefully formulated principle - and that the Security Council should act on it.
Third, we must equip ourselves with the collective tools we need to succeed in Deleted:, building lasting peace in war-torn lands - a task in which the United Nations, and regional I Deleted: . and international coalitions organizations, are ,engaged today in a wide range of countries. Our success in winning the Deleted: all peace is decidedly mixed. Half of the civil wars that appear to have been resolved by peace agreements tragically slide back into conflict within five years.
To help the international community succeed in this vital work, the Panel recommends the creation of a new intergovernmental organ in the United Nations: a Peacebuilding Commission. The Commission would give Member States, international financial institutions, regional organizations, donor countries, troop contributors and the country being helped a forum for consensus and action: to agree on strategy, provide policy guidance, mobilize resources, and coordinate the efforts of all involved.
The United Nations also needs more operational capacity to respond to State failure. Today, we have more than 75,000 personnel deployed in 18 peace operations on four continents, and a 19th operation in Sudan is in the pipeline.
Our resources are stretched to the limit. Indeed, for the foreseeable future, the global demand will outstrip the capacity of the United Nations to respond — particularly when only one in five of our uniformed personnel comes from developed countries.
To help redress this situation, the Panel report calls for: - Developed countries to move faster to transform existing force capacities into contingents suitable for peace operations; - The strengthening of the UN's strategic deployment stockpiles, standing arrangements, trust funds, and civilian police capacity; - And closer cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, to divide labour and reinforce each other's work.
These are not dry or academic issues. Look at the situation in Sudan today. Millions have been killed over many years in north-south violence. The United Nations > Deleted: faces huge jjnder very challenging: conditions, is going to deploy a peacekeeping operation in the I Deleted: difficulties in deploying an south in support of the recent peace agreement. r j adequate peacekeeping operation into the \ south, to shore up the recent peace ^ agreement. And in Darfur, a United Nations Commission of Inquiry found last month that the civilian population has been brutalized by war crimes, which may well amount to crimes against humanity. The Security Council is now considering how to ensure that those responsible are held to account for their crimes. And I salute the African Union for taking the lead in deploying peacekeepers in Darfur. Deleted But even wj^the help of the UN ^he EU. the US and other donors. the_AUls u capacity to me/A'the requirements in the area of security is dwarfed by the size of the | Deleted: In the face of our inadequate challenge/nnd people are dying, every single day, while we fail to protect them. T { response, people are dying, every day.
So when I speak of our responsibility to protect - and when I say we must be able to deploy robustly and quickly, and that we need an integrated approach to crisis management and long-term peacebuilding — remember this: our current collective [ Deleted: being shortcomings are jmeasured in lives lost.
Of course, it would have been far better if the chronic problems of governance [DeletedI:: facing that have long plagued. Sudan had been addressed earlier. So let me stress a fourth and final point about collective security: our eventual goal must be a world of peaceful and capable States, able to exercise their sovereignty responsibly, and to deal with internal [ Deleted: dang ^tresses before they Terupt in conflict, harming their own citizens and threatening others. |J>eletedI:: harm
We cannot build a safer world unless we take democratization, development and human rights seriously. The United Nations advances these causes every day. For example, UN reports draw attention to human rights concerns in many countries. We have helped to foster a long overdue debate on the state of human development in the Arab world. And our efforts to halve global poverty by 201 5 are based on the need for good governance in developing countries, matched with concrete assistance from developed countries.
More and more donor countries are now making concrete plans to meet the development promises made at key international conferences. In 2005, all rich countries should follow suit. A recent landmark UN study shows that, with the right mix of policy and resources, development can succeed. So as we support democracy and good i Deleted: also governance, let us boost aid, provide debt relief, and promote free and fair trade. These efforts reinforce each other, and are the best investments we can make in our collective security. In just over a month, Member States will have before them my agenda for renewal and reform. And in just seven months, world leaders will be called upon to make some momentous decisions.
If Member States act now, we will still have plenty of problems. But we will have a more efficient, more effective, and more equitable collective security system, a more serious plan to promote development, and a better United Nations.

Kevin,
I have attached a short briefing note for the SG as discussed. I have not cleared with Jan, but thought you should have it. Of course if you require a more formal transmittal, we would surely comply.
We are working on agenda which I will share with you. In it, the SG could say a few words after being introduced by Jan and then he could say something before he goes, will keep you updated
Thanks

Immediate Response (During his mission to the region, the Secretary-General was informed by many donors and government officials of their appreciation for OCHA's work.)
Since the early hours of 26 December, OCHA has been at the forefront of the UN's response to the tsunami. OCHA was first on the ground in a number of the sites and took the lead in facilitating the efforts of the broader humanitarian community. This facilitated OCHA 's being accepted as the coordinator of the international response and added to the effectiveness of the overall response.
In the field Four UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination teams were dispatched from Geneva to the most affected areas within 24 hours. Margareta Wahlstrom was named Special Coordinator and was working in the region a few days after the earthquake. Senior and seasoned staff were deployed to the hardest hit places like Aceh to take charge of coordination. Dozens more staff (a total of 72) have been deployed since to help. Rapid deployment of capable staff gave OCHA credibility early on, contributing to a strong overall response. At the country level, strong local coordination and engagement of local agencies enhanced efficiency of efforts. Effective sectoral coordination demonstrably increased the impact of response.
Liaison with the military Liaison with the military was hugely important in tsunami response because of the extraordinary number of militaries, and the amount of assets involved. Civil Military Relations Officers built excellent understanding of the UN and how it works through briefings to the military, at senior levels, as well as daily meetings with the military in affected countries. For example, UN staff participated in the crucial assessments of Aceh's west coast that were carried out from the USS Lincoln. Close cooperation is ensuring a smooth handover of responsibilities from militaries to humanitarians.
At Headquarters OCHA provided leadership in New York and Geneva. OCHA Task forces were established on day one. The ERC convened the IASC on 27 December. For the first month after the disaster, people were working around the clock through holidays and weekends to consolidate and relay critical information to UN, humanitarian and governmental partners. The International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) catalyzed progress on the establishment of a regional tsunami early warning system.
With Donors OCHA staff organized a massive, US$977 million humanitarian appeal in 11 days. Donor meetings in New York and Geneva were tremendously successful, eliciting an unprecedented response. The provision of rapid financial analysis and almost real time financial tracking enhanced the quality of the response and further strengthened the perception of effective coordination.
With the world public Public Information efforts by OCHA raised the profile of the whole UN's response. A strong media profile and strategic use of the media created awareness of critical issues and contributed to Briefing Note For the Secretary-General On OCHA's Successes in Tsunami Response effectiveness of overall response. It also showed that the UN was doing good work at a time in which the Organization is under great scrutiny. Secco luncheon Seite 1 von 1
