“That was the overriding goal of the symposium held in Cotonou from 26 to 28 May, which adopted the African Initiative for Education on Peace and Development through Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue. The manifesto strongly urged, inter alia, the development and implementation of national peace policies through dialogue by working together to conceive, plan and manage development projects broadly, embracing religious and cultural sensitives at all levels within all countries.”

“Through its training of thousands of African soldiers, its capacity-building projects and its financial and material support, the European Union is on the frontline of cooperation with regional and subregional organizations as a way of resolving conflicts and creating conditions conducive to peace and security on the continent, with a view to the sustainable development of its States. However beyond military action, the search for peace must attach greater importance to interreligious and intercultural dialogue to promote peaceful relations among peoples. That dialogue must involve all components of society acting collectively to address the root causes of conflict and establish healthy relations between grass-roots communities.”

“The Security Council must assume its full, primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. The Member States should work towards the emergence of credible regional organizations throughout the world to guarantee their effectiveness in managing situations and finding solutions to the multifarious complex challenges of today. I conclude my statement by commending the European Union, whose commitment to the implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions, particularly those regarding cooperation with African regional and subregional organizations, represents an example to follow.”

“My delegation believes that successful cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union lies in greater coherence of action through regular consultations between the Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council, with a view to a more flexible use of Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations and taking into account the intrinsic realities of each crisis and conflict. It is important to address the outstanding issues in the development of the strategic partnership of the United Nations with the African Union and the regional economic communities in matters ofpeace and security, with a forward-looking View to making the most of such partnerships for the benefit of the effectiveness of the collective security system established by the Charter of the United Nations.”

“Such cooperation has led, inter alia, to operations such as the African Union Mission in Somalia and the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, and enabled remarkable progress in combating the terrorist group Al-Shabaab in Somalia and the gradual stabilization ofthe situation in Darfur. We must draw on the lessons learned from those successful collaborations to continue to improve the strategic partnerships with regional and subregional organizations, using the most pragmatic formulas to address the challenges by ensuring the funding of operations undertaken by regional organizations with the approval of the Security Council, in accordance with its mandated powers.”

“The most advanced regional organizations with significant financial means, material resources and proven expertise, should, in our view, be fully brought to bear in actions to strengthen the capacities of African regional and subregional organizations in the prevention of conflicts, crisis management and post- conflict stabilization. Benin supports the provisions of resolution 2167 (2014), which clearly lays out the guidelines to be followed in that context. Cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union in most peace operations of the African Union has proven its worth and relevance.”

“Those challenges include terrorism and violent extremism, as embodied by Boko Haram, the Islamic State, Al-Qaida and affiliated networks and entities, and the multiple crises and conflicts that have plunged our peoples into mourning. The role of regional and subregional organizations must be taken seriously into account in responding to and meeting those challenges. This debate allows us to gather the varied perspectives on ways to implement the crucial cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations, particularly in Africa, to deal with threats to international peace and security.”

“That is the deeper meaning ofChapter VIII, which recognizes that regional organizations have the role of addressing matters related to the maintenance of international peace and security that manifest regional characteristics. It is therefore fortunate that several regional integration organizations, initially geared towards promoting the economic development of their member States, have now acquired competencies in matters of peace and security in response to the significant impact of political and military crises that have gravely affected the environment in which they carry out their original statutory activities. Contemporary challenges in peacekeeping and international security are many and complex, and their resolution holds the key to the survival of humankind.”

“In the view of the Government of Benin, the topic of today's debate is particularly important because of the great interest it holds for the future of the African continent, as we believe that regional organizations are the appropriate instruments to confront contemporary challenges to global security. Moreover, that approach is fully in line with the collective security system established by the Charter of the United Nations. While the Charter of the United Nations does not impose an obligation on Member States, it implicitly assigns them the responsibility for first-response measures in situations that represent a threat to international peace and security.”

“Mr. Adoumasse (Benin) (spoke in French): At the outset, I would like to join previous speakers who have extended to you, Madam President, sincere congratulations over the accession of your beautiful country, Nigeria, to the presidency of the Security Council and to express the full support of my country, Benin, in fulfilling that noble mission. I express the deep appreciation of my country to New Zealand, Nigeria's predecessor in that role, for their leadership in discharging their task. Benin aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries. The concept note (S/2015/599, annex) prepared by Nigeria as a guide for this open debate and the briefing made this morning by the Secretary-General provide highly relevant analyses of the situation.”
