United Nations Security Council Resolution
1764 was unanimously adopted on 29 June 2007.
as the next High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Unanimously adopting resolution 1764 (2007), the Council paid tribute to the efforts of his predecessor, Christian Schwarz-Schilling. It also took note of the Steering Board’s 19 June decision that the Office of the High Representative would continue to carry out its mandate with the aim of closing by 30 June 2008.
Further by the text, the Council reaffirmed the importance of the High Representative in pursuing the implementation of the Peace Agreement, giving guidance to and coordinating the activities of the civilian organizations and agencies involved in assisting the parties to implement it.
Speaking after the vote, the representative of the United Kingdom expressed strong support for the responsibilities of the High Representative and his additional role as the European Union’s Special Representative. The United Kingdom would support the High Representative designate as he discharged his responsibilities under the Dayton Peace Agreement and subsequent Peace Implementation Council decisions, and worked alongside partners on the ground to advance Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Euro-Atlantic integration.
While the Council’s formal agreement was not necessary, the United Kingdom welcomed its support for the decisions of the Peace Implementation Council, she said. It was to be hoped that leaders in Bosnia and Herzegovina would see the resolution’s adoption as the international community’s firm backing of the Office of the High Representative and its future decisions. However, the United Kingdom had been disappointed by the nationalist sentiments expressed recently by some Bosnian leaders, which served only to retard the reform process and hinder the building of a multi-ethnic, democratic and prosperous country on the verge of entering Europe.
