".
The Council remains deeply concerned about the conflict in northern Uganda. It has on several occasions condemned the serious violations of human rights and atrocities committed against the civilian population, especially by the Lord's Resistance Army.
The conflict in northern Uganda is one of the main points in the political dialogue between the European Union and the Ugandan Government. As part of this, representatives of the Member States and of the Commission have regularly expressed their concerns regarding the continual violations of human rights occurring in the north of Uganda. They have stressed the need to put an end to the suffering of the civilian population by means of a peaceful, negotiated solution to the conflict.
Representatives of the European Union and of other international partners have reiterated this position to the Ugandan Government. Moreover, the EU itself has also expressed a willingness to support the peace process and to contribute to the economic reconstruction of the north of the country. A significant proportion of the humanitarian aid that the EU provides to Uganda is intended to help the most vulnerable population groups in that part of the country.
Despite the resumption of fighting which followed the recent expiry of the government-declared ceasefire, the Council hopes that negotiations with the Lord's Resistance Army can continue. It is also prepared to investigate what means it could use to increase the pressure on the two parties, in order to reach a lasting solution to this conflict in Uganda."@en1
