  3. We echo the Secretary-General in condemning any form of sexual exploitation or abuse and reaffirm our commitment to a zero-tolerance policy. In conclusion, the United Arab Emirates continues to support all steps aimed at helping the people of the Central African Republic achieve their aspirations for security, stability and prosperity. We must make every effort possible to bolster those initiatives as the country makes strides towards peace. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I call on the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Francophonie and Central Africans Abroad of the Central African Republic.

  4. The protection of civilians remains a fundamental priority, and we value the crucial role of Ms. Rugwabiza and MINUSCA in bolstering the country’s security capabilities. Maintaining support for efforts to strengthen institutions and sustain the extension of State authority is key, including support for the preparation of inclusive elections. We are also encouraged by the efforts to incorporate gender-responsive approaches and initiatives that are aimed at including women in conflict management and working to reduce community violence. In line with our commitment to the women and peace and security agenda, we believe that there is a need to continue supporting women’s economic participation and leadership training to adequately address the problem of conflict-related sexual violence and strengthen their participation in the peace process.

  5. In order to address the impact of those issues on security, we encourage integrating a climate-sensitive approach within the context of the Central African Republic that enhances the incorporation of climate-related data and information into risk mitigation and management strategies. In that regard, we commend the efforts of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) to increase its use of renewable energy sources. The Council would also benefit from updates on the impact of climate change on peace and security in the Central African Republic. Thirdly, we must safeguard the gains made in cooperation with MINUSCA. We are encouraged by the continued constructive cooperation between the Central African Republic and the Mission.

  6. The situation of displaced persons remains a pressing concern, especially in the light of recent developments in neighbouring countries. We encourage the Central African Republic, the region and all humanitarian stakeholders to coordinate collectively to facilitate humanitarian access and ensure the safety of humanitarian actors. Likewise, the manifestations of climate and ecological change, among other overlapping factors, continue to aggravate the humanitarian and security situation and further fuel communal tensions. The reduced rainfall throughout the region has brought changes in transhumance corridors, which in turn fuel tensions and exacerbate violence.

  7. The recent visit to the country by the Committee established pursuant to resolution 2127 (2013) concerning the Central African Republic provided Council members with an opportunity to better understand the progress made across the disarmament, demobilization, repatriation and reintegration efforts, security-sector reform and other key areas, as well as to appreciate first-hand the commendable work of peacekeepers and other stakeholders on the ground. Secondly, against that backdrop, there is an urgent need to address the ongoing humanitarian challenges in the country. Nearly three quarters of the population of the Central African Republic face daunting economic and humanitarian challenges, including food insecurity.

  8. The proliferation of armed groups, the use of explosive ordnance and the illicit exploitation of natural resources all underline the need to redouble our efforts and strengthen existing regional arrangements to help de-escalate tensions, address instability and secure peace. Tackling the problem of armed groups is a prerequisite for sustaining political efforts. We reiterate how important it is to have a ceasefire that is respected by all parties, as well as strengthened bilateral and multilateral mechanisms with neighbouring countries, as the recent joint operation with Chad demonstrated.

  9. Today’s briefing reminds us of the important gains achieved thus far, as well as the need to continue support for the implementation of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic in order to sustain disarmament, demobilization, repatriation and reintegration efforts and security sector reform programmes. In that context, I would like to address three key points today. First, we must ensure security if we are to see lasting peace and stability in the Central African Republic. The security situation there is of significant concern.
