  1. “The implementation of the resolution could also help in that regard. Preserving the current momentum is indispensable at both the political and humanitarian levels. We continue to support the efforts of Special Envoy Martin Griffiths and the humanitarian work of the United Nations and its partners. In that regard, the unity of the Council remains critical to ending the unspeakable tragedy in Yemen. As we leave the Council, we hope that the positive impetus generated by the Stockholm meeting will be maintained and that the Yemeni parties, with the support of the international community, will sustain their engagement in search of peace and stability in Yemen.”

  2. “While Stockholm has brought concrete results, it is a positive beginning to the long journey. The parties should therefore also continue to constructively engage with the Special Envoy in the upcoming January talks in the ultimate objective of arriving at a comprehensive political solution that meets the aspirations of the people of Yemen and addresses the legitimate security concerns of the countries of the region. As Yemenis continue to endure the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, it is also vital to support the United Nations and its humanitarian partners in delivering aid to all Yemenis. Maintaining the ceasefire in Al-Hudaydah; protecting humanitarian supplies; ensuring safe, unhindered and sustained humanitarian access; stabilizing the economy; and enhancing funding for humanitarian response remains essential.”

  3. “We welcome the unanimous adoption of resolution 2451 (2018), which we believe could contribute to maintaining the positive momentum created by the successful intra-Yemeni political consultations held in Stockholm under the auspices of the United Nations. We thank the United Kingdom for its role in facilitating the negotiations. After welcoming the Stockholm consultations and endorsing its agreements, the resolution rightly emphasizes the importance of implementing the outcomes that have brought a sense of hope to the Yemenis, who seek and deserve peace and stability. We also stress that the parties should fully honour the agreements reached in Stockholm. In that regard, the United Nations should support the parties, and the resolution that we have adopted today authorizes the United Nations to play a key role.”

  4. “In that regard, all Libyan actors must be urged to work constructively towards concrete progress in addressing the impediments to the full implementation of the United Nations action plan. In conclusion, I want to reiterate our position that only a Libyan-led and -owned comprehensive political dialogue, facilitated by the United Nations, can bring about a credible and successful transition in Libya. We continue to support the diplomatic endeavours of Special Representative Salame to implement the United Nations action plan. In that regard, all Libyan actors should engage constructively with him. The Council should also continue to support his efforts.”

  5. “In that regard, the international community should continue to support building and enhancing the capacity of Libyan State institutions, particularly its judiciary and law-enforcement bodies, in order to ensure the rule of law. The international community should also provide support anchored in a long-term and coordinated strategy for building State institutions, in order to foster an environment of security and stability. The continued and widespread violations of human rights cannot be sustainably halted until all Libyan political actors find a lasting political solution to the protracted crisis. Unifying State institutions also remains extremely critical.”

  6. “Ghassan Salame, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya, who has underscored on a number of occasions, including in his most recent briefing of the Council (see S/PV.8341), that the status quo in Libya is untenable. We condemn all attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, including the recent attacks in southern and central Libya. All who continue to commit such violations must be held accountable. It is vital to fight the widespread sense of impunity in Libya through the appropriate legal mechanisms, while respecting the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. We strongly believe that ensuring the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure should be the primary responsibility of all the parties in Libya.”

  7. “Abductions, torture, displacement, the killing and injuring of civilians, arbitrary detention and human trafficking continue unabated. Criminality is increasing and the level of lawlessness engulfing the country is deeply troubling. As pointed out in the statement issued yesterday by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, the use of force and intimidation against private and public institutions is also alarming. Unfortunately, it is the Libyan people, particularly their most vulnerable groups, such as women, children, migrants and refugees, who are suffering enormously in the ongoing crisis. The current dangerous and uncertain situation must be addressed as a matter of urgency. That is why we fully concur with the view of Mr.”

  8. “Let me join other delegations in congratulating you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for this month, and assuring you of our full support. We also express our profound appreciation to the delegation of Bolivia for its able leadership of the work of the Council in October. We thank Ms. Fatou Bensouda, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, for her report and briefing to the Security Council pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011). We remain extremely concerned about the grave violations ofhuman rights committed by all parties to the conflict in Libya. The continued violence perpetrated by armed groups and terrorists is seriously threatening the country's stability and security.”

  10. “In that regard, we support the continued diplomatic efforts of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya, Mr. Ghassan Salame, to bring all Libyans together so that they can agree on a sustainable path to peace, stability and national reconciliation, according to the United Nations action plan for the resumption of an inclusive Libyan-owned political process under the facilitation and leadership of the United Nations, which has been endorsed by the Security Council. We encourage all Libyans to continue to work together in a spirit of compromise and to engage constructively and meaningfully in the inclusive political process set out in the action plan, so as to bring about concrete results that could facilitate its full implementation.”

  11. “It is important to fight the widespread sense of impunity in Libya. In that regard, Ethiopia continues to strongly support the position of the African Union that it is vital to combat impunity While respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Member States. We also believe that protecting civilians and civilian infrastructures is critical. In that regard, the capacity of Libyan State institutions, particularly its judiciary and law-enforcement bodies, should be strengthened, with the ultimate objective of ensuring the rule of law. The lasting solution to the problem of ending Libyans' suffering and the violations of their human rights will be through a comprehensive political settlement that meets the legitimate demands of all Libyans.”

  12. “We thank the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court for her report and briefing to the Security Council, pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011). The continued violations of human rights committed by all parties to the conflict in Libya remain a source of concern. The killing and wounding of civilians, as well as their abduction, torture, displacement and arbitrary detention, continue unabated. Due to general lawlessness and the weakness of judicial institutions, ordinary crime is widespread, creating a sense of fear and insecurity in Libya. We condemn all the attacks on civilians and civilian facilities that continue to cause civilian casualties and suffering. The suffering of all Libyans, including the most vulnerable groups, such as women, children, migrants and refugees, must stop. Those responsible must also be held accountable.”
