CL/565 (XVI) Page i AVANT- PROPOS J’ai l’insigne honneur de soumettre à la haute appréciation du Conseil exécutif et de la Conférence ce rapport qui est le quatrième rapport depuis que j’ai été porté à la tête de la Commission de l’Union africaine. Comme à l’accoutumée, ce rapport se doit de rendre compte de manière succincte des activités principales entreprises par la Commission depuis la tenue des dernières assises du Sommet en juin/juillet 2009 à Syrte en Grande Jamahiriya Libyenne. Depuis le dernier Sommet de juillet 2009, la Commission a poursuivi ses efforts en vue de mettre en œuvre le Plan stratégique 2009-2012 que la Conférence a adopté à Syrte, autour des 4 piliers : Paix et Sécurité ; Intégration, Développement et Coopération ; Valeurs Partagées ; et Renforcement des Institutions, et cela en étroite collaboration avec les autres organes pertinents dont le Comité des Représentants Permanents. Il s’ensuit que toutes les activités entreprises au cours des derniers mois devaient s’inspirer de ce document crucial, à commencer par la préparation du budget 2010, qui vous est actuellement soumis. Ce budget s’inscrit en effet dans une approche et dans un cadre de mise en œuvre graduelle du Plan stratégique, avec des indicateurs pertinents de performance et la volonté réaffirmée de réaliser les résultats attendus et de répondre aux attentes légitimes de nos mandants que sont nos Etats membres. Il en est de même du projet du nouveau Statut et Règlement du Personnel qui vous sera soumis après avoir fait l’objet d’un examen attentif du COREP. Il s’agit là d’un texte important qui comporte des innovations intéressantes, particulièrement par rapport aux mécanismes d’évaluation des rendements et des performances des fonctionnaires, élément déterminant dans le processus qui permettra à la Commission de réaliser sur une base mesurable les termes du contrat qui la lie à ses Etats membres. Cette période a ainsi enregistré une activité intense d’une part de sensibilisation de tous les acteurs de terrain que sont nos cadres et agents sur la nécessité de maîtriser parfaitement les instruments de gestion, et d’autre part de mobilisation des représentants permanents des Etats membres, des autres organes, des CER et de nos autres partenaires pour nous soutenir dans ces efforts de transformation institutionnelle basée sur l’obligation de résultats et l’obligation redditionnelle en toute transparence. Ce rapport couvre tous les aspects de l’activité déployée au cours des six mois écoulés. Parmi ces activités, je souhaite attirer l’attention particulière du Conseil exécutif et de la Conférence sur les dossiers les plus importants auxquels la Commission a consacré la plus grande énergie au regard de leur caractère prioritaire et des enjeux majeurs qu’ils représentent pour notre continent en ce moment. La question des conflits et crises qui assaillent l’Afrique a été notamment au centre de notre préoccupation. Conformément à la décision de la Conférence à ce sujet, le Sommet spécial sur les Conflits s’est tenu à Tripoli le 31 août 2009, à l’aimable invitation de Son Excellence Frère Muammar El-Ghaddafi, Guide de la Révolution EX. CL/565 (XVI) Page ii libyenne. Ce Sommet a adopté un important Plan d’Action pour la gestion et la résolution des conflits et la prévention des changements anticonstitutionnels sur le continent. Ce Sommet a également proclamé l’Année 2010 « Année africaine de la Paix et de la Sécurité ». Sur la base de ces importantes décisions, la Commission s’attelle à les traduire dans les faits avec l’appui de tous les Etats membres et des autres Parties prenantes dont les Nations unies et d’autres partenaires qui se tiennent à nos côtés. Les rapports soumis à ce sujet à votre attention dans des documents séparés, que ce soit sur la situation de la paix et de la sécurité en général, les changements anticonstitutionnels et le programme de l’Année africaine de la Paix et de la Sécurité 2010, témoignent amplement des efforts que la Commission déploie pour assurer la consolidation de la paix et de la stabilité pour le développement de notre continent. Avec la même détermination, la Commission s’est pleinement investie dans la préparation du Sommet de Copenhague sur le changement climatique qui s’est déroulé dans cette ville du 7 au 18 décembre 2009. Il me plaît d’exprimer ma grande satisfaction, mes profonds remerciements et ma fierté pour le comportement exemplaire et la solidarité agissante de nos négociateurs conduits par Son Excellence Meles Zenawi, Premier Ministre éthiopien, épaulé par Son Excellence Cherif Rahmani, Ministre algérien de l’Environnement et du Tourisme et notre Commissaire chargé du Développement rural et de l’Agriculture. Les efforts conjugués de nos négociateurs ont permis de faire connaître au monde entier notre position commune, cohérente et endossée par tous nos Etats membres, ce qui constitue une grande avancée de portée historique dans la marche de l’Union ainsi qu’une contribution de grande qualité ayant permis d’obtenir des résultats à Copenhague. Nous restons déterminés à construire sur ces acquis même modestes afin qu’à travers les assises à venir, telles que celles prévues à Mexico City dans les prochains mois et dans d’autres fora pertinents, nous

  • 184 Chapter Four Namibia's Experience of DDRRR 4.1 Introduction Namibia Experienced DDRRR414 in a UN Peace Operations Context
    Chapter Four Namibia’s Experience of DDRRR 4.1 Introduction Namibia experienced DDRRR414 in a UN peace operations context at the end of the Cold War. This followed extended involvement by the UN (preceded by the League of Nations) and a prolonged anti-colonial struggle dating back to the 1960s. The New York Accords of 22 December 1988 facilitated the implementation of Namibia’s (formerly South West Africa) independence plan as outlined under UN Security Council Resolution 435(1978).415 UN Resolution 435 provided for the establishment of the multidimensional UN Transitional Assistance Group (UNTAG). UNTAG was essentially a political and policing operation tasked with creating and managing conditions for Namibia’s democratic transition to independence. Central components of the plan included the disarmament and demobilization of South Africa’s colonial forces and liberation forces as well as the UNHCR voluntary repatriation operation. This meant that UNTAG provided the institutional framework for 414 UNTAG’s mandate specifically covered disarmament, demobilization and repatriation. In this study these are grouped under the broader DDRRR terminology. 415 For detailed historical analyses see L.
