1. “Staffan de Mistura, Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for the political process in Syria, to spare no effort to maintain the momentum of consultations with a view to achieving further progress in the implementation of the Sochi final statement and the establishment of a Syrian-led constitutional committee, in accordance with resolution 2254 (2015). Cote d'Ivoire welcomes the informal consultations of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General with high-level representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Russian Federation and Turkey at the Astana process meeting in Sochi on 30 and 31 July. My country remains convinced that the just and lasting peace that our Council wishes to see in Syria must be the outcome of a political process based on inclusive and constructive dialogue.”

2. “In that context, the joint humanitarian operation conducted by Russia and France appears to us to be a model of cooperation that should be welcomed and repeated. That project enabled the supply of essential medical equipment to 500 seriously wounded and 15,000 lightly wounded persons in eastern Ghouta. My delegation therefore urges the members of the Council to consider all forms of cooperation in support of the fundamental right of the Syrian people to health, education and well-being. Cote d'Ivoire encourages Mr.”

3. “It endorses the Secretary-General's appeal to all parties to the conflict, Syrian civil society and all other actors to cooperate fully with the International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism to Assist in the Investigation and Prosecution of Persons Responsible for the Most Serious Crimes under International Law Committed in the Syrian Arab Republic, with a view to conducting the necessary investigations and bringing to justice before international courts those who have committed serious crimes under international law since March 2011. The lack of consensus in the Council on the Syrian issue further exacerbates the impasse in the political process and jeopardizes the chances of a negotiated way out of the Syrian conflict.”

4. “My country also welcomes the continued cross-border delivery of humanitarian assistance by the United Nations and its specialized agencies, which has helped more than 3.3 million people in need. In view of the deteriorating humanitarian situation, C6te d'Ivoire recalls that it is incumbent on the warring parties in the Syrian crisis to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law and international human rights law. It urges them in particular to refrain from impeding the delivery of humanitarian aid.”

5. “Thousands of evacuees from the south-west have been transported to Idlib - a town that recorded the arrival of nearly 130,000 displaced people between March and August. The worrisome deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Syria is further exacerbated by the difficulties encountered by humanitarian actors in assisting populations in distress. In that particularly difficult environment, where humanitarian actors are risking their lives to restore hope to millions of Syrians, C6te d'Ivoire would like to commend the courageous actions taken for the return of some 147,000 civilians to Raqqa city since the end of hostilities in October 2017, despite the spread of explosive remnants of war in that city.”

6. “I recall that the resolution called on all parties to cease hostilities in order to create the conditions necessary for unrestricted and sustainable access by United Nations humanitarian convoys to the besieged areas in order to put an end to the plight of millions of Syrians. Unfortunately, despite the Council's urgent appeals, military clashes are still ongoing, as indicated in the Secretary-General's report (S/2018/777), and the escalation of violence spares neither schools nor hospitals. They are contributing thereby to the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Syria. In the north-west of the country, the report states that the total numberofpeople inneed ofhumanitarian assistance in the governorates of Aleppo and Idlib has increased by more than 570,000 since early 2018, reaching a total of 4.2 million.”

7. “Mr. Adom (cote d'Ivoire) (spoke in French): My delegation welcomes this briefing on the humanitarian situation in Syria. I thank Mr. John Ging, Director of Operations and Advocacy of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, whose briefing informed us about the continuing humanitarian challenges, linked in particular to the ongoing hostilities between the parties to the conflict in Syria. In that regard, the warning of an imminent Syrian offensive against Idlib only increases our concern. Despite the unanimous adoption by the Security Council of resolution 2401 (2018), the long-awaited stable humanitarian pause, indispensable for the delivery of humanitarian aid, including medical evacuations, is unfortunately struggling to materialize.”

8. “The fight against terrorism is undeniably a national and international security emergency. No matter how well developed, the security responses proposed by current counter-terrorism strategies will be truly effective only if they are bolstered by bold policies to combat poverty and youth unemployment, which are sources of radicalization and violent extremism. Cote d'Ivoire is therefore of the opinion that terrorist movements leave us no choice but to pool our means of fighting them, within the framework of coherent and coordinated strategies for the fight.”

9. “Such cooperation is essential and enables the follow-up of the evaluation visits in order to ensure that the technical assistance proposed meets the recommendations and targets the priority needs of each State. My delegation welcomes the unanimous adoption by the General Assembly, on 26 June, of resolution 72/284, on the review of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, with a view to defeating terrorism through cooperation. Lastly, my country welcomed the conclusions of the first High-level Conference of Heads of Counter- Terrorism Agencies of Member States, held on 28 and 29 June at Headquarters. The meeting provided a forum for exchanges on strengthening multilateral cooperation, including innovative public-private partnerships, so as to improve the sharing of sensitive information.”

10. “In view of that situation, Cote d'Ivoire urges solidarity and cooperation among all actors and advocates an improvement in national and regional counter-terrorism capacities. In that regard, we welcome the signing, on 23 February, of the Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Pact, a framework for cooperation among the heads of United Nations entities responsible for combating terrorism and preventing violent extremism. My country also welcomes the strengthening of cooperation between the Office of Counter-Terrorism and the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, through high-level bilateral consultations in the regions most affected by terrorism and violent extremism.”

11. “My delegation notes with concern that the actions of Da'esh affect the entire world. In Africa, a significant number of combatants affiliated with Da'esh remain very active in Somalia, in the greater Sahel and in West and North Africa, notably in Egypt and Libya, where there are 3,000 to 4,000 foreign terrorist fighters. Terrorist groups continue their destabilization activities through increasingly sophisticated armed attacks. They also have expanded their control over smuggling routes and hamper the free movement of goods and people in affected areas. In Africa, for example, States already weakened by all manner of difficulties will be forced to allocate a significant part of their budgets to combating their enemies in asymmetrical wars that undermine their development efforts.”

12. “In that regard, my delegation welcomes the determination of the United Nations and its constant support to Member States to meet the persistent challenge of the fight against terrorism within the framework of a comprehensive and coordinated approach. According to the Secretary-General's report (S/2018/770), many challenges remain, including the gradual transformation of Da'esh into a nexus of franchises, as well as the threat posed by the return and relocation of foreign terrorist fighters. In addition, Da'esh and its associated groups are using new information and communication technologies, which further complicate the fight against terrorist group financing, recruitment and propaganda activities. These new challenges force States to refine and coordinate their tools and responses to match the scale of the scourge.”

13. “Mr. Adom (Cote d'Ivoire) (spoke in French): At the outset, I would like to join others in congratulating Mr. Vladimir Voronkov, Under-Secretary-General and Head ofthe United Nations Office ofCounter-Terrorism; Ms. Michele Coninsx, Executive Director of the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate; and Ms. Joana Cook, Senior Research Fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence, for their informative briefings. My delegation notes with deep concern that, despite the military and strategic setbacks they have suffered, Da'esh and its associated individuals, groups, businesses and entities continue to pose a serious threat to world peace and security.”

Cote d'Ivoire expresses its support to the Special Envoy, Mr. Kafando, and reiterates to him its willingness to support all of his efforts in the context of the inter-Burundian political dialogue.”

15. “In that regard, my delegation encourages the Burundian authorities to endeavour, with the support of the international community and especially international financial institutions and bilateral partners, to improve the economic situation in the country and to create conditions conducive to the dignified and safe return of refugees and their reintegration into the socioeconomic fabric of the country. To conclude, C6te d'Ivoire calls on the international community to further support the initiatives of the East African Community and of the mediator and the facilitator of the inter-Burundian dialogue, with a view to the effective resumption of the talks in order to achieve national reconciliation and lasting stability in Burundi.”

16. “At the humanitarian level, despite the positive trend observed in the context of the voluntary return of Burundian refugees, my delegation remains concerned by the situation of the thousands of refugees who are awaiting better prospects for a definitive return to their country. In this context, we welcome the efforts made by the Burundian authorities, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the donor community in providing assistance and support in the context of the programme for the voluntary return of Burundian refugees to their country.”

Cote d'Ivoire urges the Burundian authorities to take the confidence-building measures necessary to reduce sociopolitical tensions and resume an inclusive political dialogue among the Burundian people on the basis of the Arusha Accords. In this regard, my delegation takes note of the decision taken by Pierre Nkurunziza, President of Burundi, not to stand in 2020 for another term.”

18. “Mr. Adom (Cote d'Ivoire) (spoke in French): My delegation wishes to thank President Michel Kafando, Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Burundi, for his excellent presentation on the sociopolitical situation in Burundi in the post-referendum period. We applaud the personal commitment of the Special Envoy to help this brotherly nation find lasting peace. My delegation welcomes the relative improvement of the security situation in Burundi following the holding on 17 May of the constitutional referendum. That notwithstanding, at the political level Cote d'Ivoire deplores the persistent impasse in the Burundian political process more than eight months after the last session of the inter-Burundian political dialogue, held in Uganda under the auspices of the East African Community.”
