Let us be true to our commitments, especially in Africa.

Policies and measures to fulfil the commitments

We commit to translate that consensus into concrete action.

Translating the commitment into action, however, is quite another matter.

What is needed now is not more declarations or promises, but action action to fulfil the promises already made.

Moving from commitment to action

Too many promises have been broken promises made by several African leaders, by several Western leaders and especially the promises of the entire international community.

The Secretariat undertook to introduce closer monitoring action.

Speakers called upon donor countries to move from commitments to concrete actions.

The challenge is to translate this commitment into action.

The European Union is looking forward to such a commitment and will follow closely its implementation.

We have seen many commitments on the part of the Provisional Institutions of Self Government with respect to the implementation of the standards we expect those commitments to be translated into real deeds.

It was particularly important, in light of the experience gained since the adoption of the Convention, that the commitments set for time frames beyond the year 2000 should be realistically attainable.

However, making a commitment is one thing honouring that commitment in a timely manner is another.

The guidelines specify minimum implementation requirements for each commitment.

She called upon the international community to pledge to take immediate action towards that goal.

Seeking such a commitment and ensuring that it is honoured is difficult.

Recognizing the progress that has been made to date in implementing commitments under Article 4.1 of the Convention,

He urged donor States to fulfil the commitments made for Iraq's reconstruction.

Well, I warn ya, I won't come through unless you improve on that last sample.

There must be commitment in return for commitment.

I join the Secretary General in appealing to other countries that have pledged assistance to implement their pledges as quickly as possible.

This has been only partly achieved.

Additional period for fulfilling commitments

We must make sure that we fulfil that commitment.

Regardless of the subject matter, the essential point is to determine whether Cuba's act of donating did or did not constitute a unilateral act containing a promise, specifically a promise not to demand any payment from the Uruguayan Government.

It shows a common commitment to common action.

We expect all parties to live up to their commitments and to take coordinated steps in line with the principle of commitment for commitment, action for action , aimed at implementing the 1992 Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

First, the Colombian Constitution, like the vast majority of constitutions, does not explicitly recognize unilateral acts as international acts most constitutions simply refer to treaties as acts through which a State commits itself at the international level, particularly, in this case, with respect to boundaries.

While China had honoured that commitment, the same could not be said of France, Russia, the United Kingdom or the United States.

Underlining the relationship between the fulfilment by the parties of their human rights commitments and the readiness of the international community to commit resources for reconstruction and development,

The main outcome of the summit was the parties' commitment to cease all acts of violence.

It is imperative that we all translate our political commitment into concrete action.

We call for the effective implementation of the commitments entered into in terms of international cooperation to support the national efforts and priorities of the Government of Haiti, which we hope will continue after the elections are held.

It is thus incumbent upon the Member States and the Office of the President of the General Assembly to implement the decisions and commitments contained in the Outcome document and translate them into concrete action.
