Security Council welcomes constitutional rule

    NAIROBI

    Members of the UN Security Council welcomed the return of constitutional rule to Guinea-Bissau yesterday and called on the government and the international community to provide the necessary support.

    In a statement issued after a briefing by the Representative of the UN Secretary-General in Guinea Bissau, Samuel Nana-Sinkam, the Security Council encouraged parties "to work closely together in a spirit of tolerance to strengthen democratic values, to protect the rule of law and to guarantee the protection of human rights."

    In addition the Council appealed to the new authorities "to develop and implement programmes designed to consolidate peace, national reconciliation and economic development."
