  1. “There are no further names inscribed on the list of speakers. That leaves me, as President, to thank all of the participants in today's meeting. In particular, I would like to thank the Security Council Affairs Division for its support, as well as the interpreter for their tireless work throughout a long day. We will be following up today's open debate with a President's summary, which will summarize the points made. We will distribute that in due course. The meeting rose at 5pm.”

  3. “May I remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously.

If speakers have not concluded one minute later, the presidency will intervene and ask them to conclude. Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate the texts in writing and to deliver a condensed version when speaking in the Chamber. I thank all colleagues for respecting that. I now give the floor to the representative of Kenya.”

  9. “Of course, the voice of young people must also be included. What is clear is the fact that the nature of conflict evolves, and as it evolves mediation will be needed more than ever. The United Nations must stand ready to ensure that it is equal to the task. Let me assure all colleagues and Member States across the United Nations and beyond that the United Kingdom will remain committed to supporting the Secretary- General in his efforts and focus to both professionalize and enhance the United Nations approach to mediation, with women rightfully playing a full, pivotal and equal part. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to the other members of the Security Council.”

  10. “When one considers the research, it also confirms that, where women are involved in peacekeeping, it increases the probability of peace lasting much longer. We therefore welcome the Secretary-General's efforts to promote gender parity in the United Nations, but also recognize that it is incumbent upon all of us - the United Nations system, Member States, civil society and religious leaders - to do more to promote women's participation in conflict prevention and resolution at all levels, including the appointment of women mediators. Let me assure the Council that the United Kingdom is taking its responsibility very seriously, and we are therefore committing £1.6 million to the development of the Women Mediators across the Commonwealth network, to which Ms. Mossarat Qadeem alluded.”

  11. “We should learn and build on the examples of Mali and the Central African Republic, and ensure that mediation support is properly resourced. Lastly but most importantly, as we have heard already, and as set out in resolution 1325 (2000), we must ensure without question the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in conflict resolution as leaders and decision-makers at both the national and the local levels. Women's participation should not be an option. It is a central and pivotal part of conflict resolution. It is key to ensuring conflict resolution and lasting peace. It is a matter of ensuring respect for human rights and ensuring gender equality. As we all know - and we should reflect on this * the evidence points to that.”

  12. “But equally, on reflecting on what has been achieved, it is important to recognize there is much more to do. We now need to look forward towards the coming decade and address the changing nature of conflicts, their complexity and the increasing number of mediation actors. The United Kingdom believes that the Security Council has a pivotal and important role to play in that respect. We must include mediation in the toolkit that the Council uses to prevent and resolve conflicts. That includes working effectively with mediators from regional and subregional organizations. We therefore welcome the United Nations work to strengthen capacity in that particular area. It also means considering conflict resolution and mediation when we mandate peacekeeping and special political missions.”

  13. “More broadly, the United Nations has made good progress in the past decade to professionalize and strengthen its mediation role with the establishment of the Mediation Support Unit in 2006, the Standby Team of Senior Mediation Advisers in 2008 and the High-level Advisory Board for Mediation in 2017. The United Nations special political missions play quite a unique role in fostering and supporting dialogue and preventing conflict. If we cast our minds back to last December, Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo, former President of Nigeria and a member of the High-level Advisory Board, as we heard from the Secretary-General, travelled to Liberia on the Secretary-General's behalf to support the first peaceful transfer of power in Liberia's history. Thus, there is much we can already be proud of in terms of what has been achieved.”

  14. “MINUSCA is also involved in strengthening local capacity to resolve conflicts, building trust between communities and advocating the participation of women and young people. In Mali, the mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali recognizes the importance of community engagement and local mediation. It is essential in protecting civilians and in stabilizing communities and the country. It has facilitated the training of 703 mediators, including 225 women, who have served on community-based mediation panels.”

  15. “Today, as we look around the world, in Yemen and Libya Martin Griffiths and Ghassan Salame are leading efforts to facilitate peaceful resolutions to some of the most complex and long-running conflicts, with great human cost. But we should not make the mistake of thinking that mediation works only at the national level. In countries like the Central African Republic and Mali, we have seen the importance of community-level mediation conducted or facilitated by peacekeeping missions. In the Central African Republic, the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) has successfully facilitated mediation between armed groups in several areas of the country, such as the agreement signed in the town Bouar in December 2017.”

  16. “Qadeem said, in peacemaking in conflict resolution we must speak to the core humanity of people and, to echo a phrase used by the Most Reverend Archbishop of Canterbury, it is only then that we will achieve the "people's peace". In the United Kingdom, we have seen the importance of mediation first-hand. The division and violence in Northern Ireland took years of sustained negotiations to resolve, and finally ended with the signing of the Belfast Agreement, also known as the Good Friday Agreement, in 1998. It shows the value of patient and persistent mediation, and the 20 years of peace that have followed illustrate clearly why we must give mediation efforts our utmost and full support.”

  17. “The complex nature of modern conflict, which the Secretary-General and others have already referred to, means that averting or ending violence requires a concerted approach from a range of actors, both within the family of the United Nations and outside it. That includes regional and subregional organizations, civil society, religious leaders and, as we have just heard, women's mediation networks. I am therefore delighted and pleased that we have heard from representatives of those groups today. I would particularly like to thank the Most Reverend Archbishop of Canterbury and Ms. Mossarat Qadeem for their very insightful, expert and thoughtful briefings to the Council today. As Ms.”

  18. “I thank for Ms. Qadeem for her briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Minister of State for the Commonwealth and the United Nations of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In January 2017, the Secretary-General gave the Security Council a challenge. He asked the question of how we can use our powers under Chapter VI of the Charter of the United Nations more effectively to prevent conflict (see S/PV.7857). Although Chapter VI is about more than mediation, it is an important part of the answer. The Security Council is often uniquely placed to support mediation efforts to prevent and indeed resolve conflict. But the Council is far from being the only actor.”
