Mr President,
The Council has stipulated that MONUC support for the FARDC is contingent upon the respect for human rights, international humanitarian law and refugee law.
Unfortunately, with the recent round of integration and demobilization of Congolese armed groups the problem of discipline in the FARDC has worsened.
It is essential therefore that security sector reform address this recurring problem through a structured process of vetting and training and by
ensuring that the security forces are paid regularly and on time.
