"I voted in favour of this resolution on Sudan and South Sudan: The situation after the 2011 referendum. The Southern Sudan Referendum took place on 9-15 January 2011, with an overwhelming majority voting to establish an independent state of South Sudan, which is expected formally to declare its independence on 9 July 2011, which coincides with the end date of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). This will be a very important day for South Sudan, as the creation of the new state will raise many difficult challenges. I welcome the resolution’s call on the South Sudan authorities to promote the development of South Sudan as a modern, pluralistic, democratic state based on the rule of law and respecting human rights, in particular, women’s and children’s rights, and the primacy of the right of citizens to choose their government through regular free elections. Although South Sudan has reserves of natural resources such as oil, copper and iron, as well as forest and fertile land, the vast majority of its population live in poverty, with one of the highest infant mortality rates and the lowest education indicators in the world. I therefore call on the future government of South Sudan to immediately take the necessary measures to help guarantee at least a minimum subsistence income, social guarantees and, above all, security for the populations of South Sudan."@en1
