SUBJECT: SIERRA LEONE: TALKING POINTS FOR MAY 7 BRIEFING 
AND CONSULTATIONS 
 
 
ΒΆ1.  USUN is instructed to draw from the following talking 
points for the May 7 UN Security Council briefing and 
consultation on Sierra Leone.  Begin points: 
 
-- The United States commends the work of UNIOSIL and the UN 
Country Team in Sierra Leone for all the support they have 
provided to the govenment and people of Sierra Leone in 
helping the nation transition into a stable, prosperous, 
democratic country. 
 
-- We are pleased that UNIOSIL has kept firmly to the 
drawdown guidelines outlined in UNSCR 1793 and the Secretary 
General's letter to the President of the Security Council of 
January 31, 2008. 
 
-- The United States thinks the UNIOSIL's intervention and 
subsequent drawdown can be a model for future peacekeeping 
missions. 
 
-- We welcome the proposal of the Secretary General for a new 
mission to follow UNIOSIL when it ends its mandate in 
September 2008.  The mandate is ambitious but correctly 
focuses on the key issues facing Sierra Leone.  We have some 
questions regarding some aspects of the personnel and 
equipment needed for the follow-up mission, but hope to 
resolve these with the Secretariat and other Council members 
in the coming months. 
 
-- We welcome the idea of co-location of the United Nations' 
political and development personnel, who would utilize the 
joint resources of the integrated office and the United 
Nations country team to implement the new mission's mandate. 
We would encourage further streamlining of UN equities in the 
country to produce the most efficient and cost effective 
mission possible. 
 
-- The United States welcomes the adoption of the Sierra 
Leone Peacebuilding Cooperation Framework by the Government 
of Sierra Leone and the Peacbuilding Commission.  We concur 
with the recommendation of the SYG that the follow-on mission 
to UNIOSIL should include a mandate to work with the 
Government of Sierra Leone to implement the Peacebuilding 
Cooperation Framework.  It is extremely important that this 
follow-on mission consult closely with the Peacebuilding 
Support Office, the UN country team, and other relevant 
stakeholders to maximize effective use of resources. 
 
-- The United States thinks it is important the follow-on 
mission continue to provide logistical support to the 
Mongolian Guard Force protecting the Special Court for Sierra 
Leone. 
 
-- The United States looks forward to the local elections in 
Sierra Leone scheduled for this July.  We are pleased that 
all funds required for the local elections have been pledged 
or received from donors.  We call on those who have pledged 
funds to fulfill their pledge as soon as possible.  We thank 
all those who have given generously so that this important 
benchmark in Sierra Leone's march to a stable democratic 
state can take place. 
 
-- The United States commends the efforts of President Koroma 
to reach out to the political opposition, including holding 
meetings with the Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP) Minority 
Leader in Parliament, including SLPP members in his 
delegation for official visits abroad, and hosting 
reconciliation visits throughout the country.  While the 
healing process has begun, we call on all parties to continue 
efforts at reconciliation and cooperation for the good of all 
the people of Sierra Leone. 
 
-- We commend UNIOSIL and the international development 
community for their efforts in security sector reform.  We 
are pleased with the progress of the Sierra Leone police 
force and are impressed efforts have progressed so much that 
20 Sierra Leone police officers are now serving in UNAMID. 
 
-- The United States welcomes the approval by the Government 
of Sierra Leone of the reduction of their armed forces from 
10,500 to 8,500 to be completed by 2010.  With the help of 
the United Nations and the international donor community this 
leaner force will be able to effectively serve the security 
needs of the people of Sierra Leone. 
 
-- The United States is well aware that the significant 
increase in global food prices presents challenges for the 
economy of Sierra Leone, a country that imports 70% of its 
rice.  As President Bush announced last week, he is asking 
the U.S. Congress to approve an additional $770 million in 
funding for an integrated package of food aid to support 
emergency needs and development assistance to address the 
underlying causes of the world food crisis.  If approved this 
would bring total U.S. food aid contributions to $5 billion 
for 2008 and 2009. 
 
--  The United States commends the Government of Sierra Leone 
for its efforts to reform its justice system, promote 
anti-corruption efforts, and increase human rights and the 
rule of law. 
 
Questions for the briefer: 
 
-- Will the SYG be announcing a new Executive Representative 
of the Secretary General to replace Victor Angelo before 
September?  If not, the United States hopes that an ERSG can 
be announced as soon as a new force is approved by the 
Council.  It is important this new mission have clear 
executive leadership from its inception. 
 
-- What role, if any, does the Secretariat envision the UN 
Office for West Africa (UNOWA) playing to support the follow 
on mission to UNIOSIL? 
 
End points.
