Topic:Human security in Africa
In recent decades, countries of Africa have experienced a lot of upheavals, including, violent conflicts, regional instability, terrorist attacks, poverty, and diseases, which all involve human security. A true understanding of it is essential to today’s world.
Thus, Angola belives that international cooperation in human security in Africa has become ever so important.
Prior to Sep. 18th, 2000, the international community has mentioned that they would meet the special needs of Africa and bring it into the mainstream of the world economy. In 2001, the Declaration of Commitment on AIDS was written by the UN which supports the ECA-African Development Forum African Consensus and the Abuja Declaration and Framework for Action for the fight against AIDS in Africa.
Angola is a key element of this international system of cooperation against terrorism. Angola is also a long-standing supporter of the UN's role in peacekeeping. Emerging from some three decades of civil war, Angola has largely contributed to the promotion of policies enabling peace and security around the globe. Angola has been at the forefront of efforts to create an International Criminal Court (ICC) to address serious crimes of concern to the international community. On October 7 1998, Angola signed the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, as a clear sign of our commitment to justice as well as to strengthen the international legal system.
Human beings are the most basic part of our society, so it is crucial to keep the human security, but Africa is a complicated region. Thus, as an African country, Angola hopes to cooperate more with other countries on other continents. Angola is also glad to negotiate more with other African members, either in the conference or not. Let’s make a pledge to work, both individually and collectively, to promote those principles in our countries, sub-regions and the continent, to maintain human security in Africa as well as improve it.
