  1. “Although it may seem far away, this international body’s decisions in the coming days will have a direct impact on the lives of the Malian population. We must not lose sight of the reason for our meeting today, which is to help the Malian people to lead prosperous lives in security. Let us keep their needs and requests at the centre of our discussions and support them in their pursuit of a better future. I once again thank the Security Council for listening to me today, and I hope that the initiatives and decisions taken today will lead to a lasting peace for Mali and the Sahel.”

  2. “That means that MINUSMA’s financing for civilian and stabilization projects should be maintained in the country through mechanisms such as the Peacebuilding Fund and others so that interventions can continue in support of local communities, together with civil society both nationally and internationally. Thirdly, we must consider how the United Nations and the international community can reinvest funding allocated to MINUSMA to continue support for building strong institutions that can ensure the rule of law. Lastly, we recommend that civilian mediation and conflict resolution efforts be strengthened in order to establish frank dialogue, especially within local communities. As we enter a new era in international cooperation on security in Mali, I am asking for the Council’s ongoing support for the Malian people.”

  3. “It will require careful planning and coordination in order to continue to protect human life and dignity and create conditions for lasting peace. To do that, we would like to propose four elements that we believe are essential. First, any action taken must be based on a commitment to ensuring that the Mission’s withdrawal does not jeopardize the efforts of the Malian authorities and MINUSMA to ensure peace and security. Secondly, the United Nations and the international community must demonstrate creativity and flexibility in order to adapt a financing mechanism that can ensure that basic services and economic development resources remain available.”

  4. “I have repeatedly experienced and suffered the consequences of political conflict in my country of origin. The thoughts I want to share today are based on the experience of my Malian colleagues and partners, but the opinions are my own. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge and salute the efforts by all — members of the military, civilians, Malians, international citizens — who have made sacrifices for the peace and prosperity of Mali. We all have a duty to honour their sacrifices in the fight for peace in defence of human dignity and in ensuring the right of every Malian to build a peaceful future. MINUSMA’s withdrawal has now created an opportunity to reshape approaches and responses to the conflict. It is time for the United Nations and the Governments represented here to redouble their efforts in support of the Malian people.”

  5. “I extend my warmest greetings to you, Madam President, and I would like to express my gratitude for the invitation and opportunity to speak to Council members today on the topic of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) and the current situation in Mali. I am addressing the Council as someone involved in peacebuilding and as the Acting Regional Director of Search for Common Ground, a non-governmental organization that was established some 40 years ago with the goal of supporting peacebuilding efforts and social cohesion. We make long-term commitments to building healthy, safe and just societies in areas where local populations face violent conflict. My commitment to peace is rooted in my personal experiences.”
