Ian Martin, Personal Representative of the Secretary-General in Nepal: Press Conference (17 December 2006)
Abstract:
"..They assessed what would be the requirements in terms of personnel, how many monitors of arms and armies will be required, where will they be stationed. There have been reports that suggested that there was already a decision as to those numbers. There have been approximate estimates before but this assessment mission was the most definitive consideration and planning for the numbers of locations of those personnel, and not just in the category of monitors of arms and armies but also the category of electoral personnel. We looked at the relationship between a future mission and the Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights, which has been asked as a core task of the support to the peace process to continue its human rights monitoring, and obviously we need to ensure very close working together of different UN monitoring which will complement each other in the peace process. And then of course we looked at all the support requirements. Nepal is not the easiest country to operate in, to have the mobility we need. We need not only vehicles but air assets, which means bringing in helicopters and perhaps other air assets to enable us to ensure that the limited personnel we have can get rapidly to where they need to be to carry out investigations, for example, of a breach of the Agreement. And the other practical aspects of the mission to be looked at, discussion with the Government about where we might look at as the headquarters, we asked the Government to assist us in that, and so on. So, a lot of practical matters which you will see when the report from the Secretary-General becomes public ahead of Security Council consideration. Although in addition to that report, a lot more detailed assessment was done by the technicians of various kinds.." #UNMIN #2006
