  1. “On the issue of Abyei, it is our belief that the people of Abyei have suffered long enough and that the time has come for them to exercise their inalienable rights within the time frame set out in the Abyei Protocol. We call on the members of the Security Council to continue to exert efforts to ensure that the two countries hold a referendum on Abyei in a timely manner, as well as perhaps to facilitate the necessary logistics required for carrying out the referendum. My delegation would like to conclude with that, but will be willing to take the floor later to intervene on other remaining issues to which we want to draw the Council's attention.”

  2. “Furthermore, the Government is indeed pleased with the current progress being made with the Government of the Republic of the Sudan on the implementation of the cooperation agreements of 27 September, in compliance with the African Union road map on resolution 2046 (2012). We believe that this conducive environment will no doubt provide fertile ground for tangible progress in the bilateral relations between our two States. It has always been my Government's contention that, given our historical links and our geographic borders of almost 2,000 kilometres - one of the biggest in Africa - the relationship between our two countries can be maintained only through peaceful coexistence in all spheres - economic, social and political. We therefore hope that the signs of good relations that we are witnessing so far will continue.”

  3. “At the outset, please allow my delegation to express our sincere gratitude to the members of the Security Council for having afforded us this opportunity to come to this important meeting to discuss the Sudan and South Sudan and to say a few words with regard to the issues. As this is the first time that I take the floor, I would also like to wish you, Madam President, a successful presidency of the Council. My Government would like to take this opportunity to reiterate its commitment to working towards improving relations with the Republic of the Sudan in the promotion of two Viable States.”

  4. “To improve the effectiveness of UNMISS under its Chapter VII mandate, it would be prudent for the Security Council and the Government of South Sudan to continue building on what has been achieved so far, while working on the gaps and challenges that the Government has identified with regard to the operation of the Mission.”

  5. “However, to achieve greater success and measurable progress in that area, UNMISS should consider, first, the need for greater support and capacity- building for judges and legal advisers and, secondly, the fact that our police forces need to be certified for international recognition so as to be able to participate in regional coordination events. In conclusion, the experience of UNMISS in South Sudan has been an enriching one and will continue to be so. It has enormously helped our Government to overcome many of the teething problems associated with a country's emergence from the post-conflict stage.”

  6. “Nevertheless, my Government believes that it is equally important that the Mission achieve more in the area of infrastructure development, especially with regard to quick-impact projects, with UNMISS operational sites at the country level, such as police facilities and community centres. Given the impassibility of roads in South Sudan, we encourage UNMISS to construct more accessible roads at the national, state, and local Government levels. Fourthly, with regard to the rule of law, the Government of the Republic of South Sudan appreciates the work of UNMISS, especially in the areas pertaining to the rule of law.”

  7. “The issue of the movement of UNMISS personnel across the country is critical. The lack of such communication with the Government and security organs sometimes results in potentially dangerous situations. Allow my delegation to take this opportunity to express our condolences to the Government of the Russian Federation and to the families of the crew involved in the helicopter incident that took place in Jonglei on 21 December 2012. We assure them that the Government of South Sudan is carrying out a fair and credible investigation into the incident. We await its findings. Thirdly, concerning the issue of infrastructure, UNMISS has managed to achieved some progress in infrastructure development.”

  8. “First, with regard to the protection of civilians, in the past year my country witnessed an unwarranted and unprovoked attack by the Government of the Republic of the Sudan, in particular aerial bombardment and other border incursions. Those aggressions led to many civilian casualties, especially among innocent women and children. Although the duty of civilian protection is one of the Government's priorities, my Government would like to see a more robust mechanism put in place by UNMISS to protect vulnerable civilians from aerial bombardment. Secondly, with regard to communication and coordination with the Government, my Government understands that communication and coordination with UNMISS is of critical importance, especially in achieving the objectives set out in the mandate.”

  9. “The underlying objective of the plan was to undertake security sector reform, police institutional development, the rule of law, justice sector support, human rights, capacity-building, early recovery, the formulation of national policies related to key issues of State-building, development and establishing a conducive environment for economic development that would be consistent with national priorities, with a view to contributing to producing a common framework for monitoring progress in those areas. Some measurable progress has been achieved one year after UNMISS began operations in South Sudan. Nevertheless, much remains to be done, especially in the following areas.”

  10. “In addressing issues pertaining to nation-building and developmental challenges facing the country, the Government of South Sudan and the United Nations embarked immediately on a peacebuilding support plan. The plan emanated from resolution 1996 (2011), which mandated the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) to elaborate a peacebuilding support plan. Subsequently, the Secretary-General produced a report with the idea of putting in operation paragraph 18 of the resolution, in which the Secretary-General requested his Special Representative to work with the Government of the Republic of South Sudan, the United Nations country team and bilateral and multilateral partners, including the World Bank, to produce a plan for United Nations system support for specific peacebuilding tasks.”

  11. “At the outset, my delegation would like to express its profound thanks and appreciation to Pakistan and the members of the Security Council for convening this important debate on the theme "United Nations peacekeeping: a multidimensional approach". Equally, I would like personally to extend my Government's appreciation and gratitude to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for continuous support to my Government in ensuring that peace, stability and development are realized in our nascent State. Since the independence of the Republic of South Sudan from the Sudan, on 9 July 2011, our nascent State has confronted enormous nation-building and development tasks.”

  12. “Indeed, there have been some positive developments in some areas of the region, primarily in Burundi and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We hope that the draft resolution that is before the members of the Security Council will lead to a more committed and effective involvement by the United Nations to ensure peace, security and sustainable development in the Great Lakes region.”

  13. “The goal is to build on the advances towards peace made in some regions and to resolve some persistent causes of tension. The goal is to bring about a culture of peace and cooperation, in keeping with the preamble of the UNESCO Constitution, which states that: "Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed." The draft resolution before the Council today reflects the strong support of the Security Council for the achievement of peace, security and development in the region. A time frame must be set for monitoring and follow-up with respect to the measures undertaken on the basis of the priorities mentioned earlier, so that we can work together.”

  14. “It will allow us also to exploit our natural resources for development, undertake joint projects for economic cooperation and pursue other joint efforts. Peace and security go hand in hand, in particular in a region such as the Great Lakes region, which historically has gone through periods of instability. The Dar es-Salaam summit, held last year, outlined four major areas for action: peace and security; democratic governance and economic development; regional integration; and humanitarian and social issues. It paved the way for a second summit, which was to have been held in 2005, to devise implementation measures with respect to those areas of concern - hence the importance of support on the part of the international community and of international agencies in those areas.”

  15. “First, strengthening the principles of democracy and good governance in the region will lay the foundation for balanced and sustainable development and institution-building. That will help to ensure peaceful coexistence among the States of the region, which in turn will pave the way for bilateral and regional cooperation regarding the refugee situation and the ongoing disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) efforts in a number of countries. We must combat trafficking in small arms and light weapons and prevent the circulation of such weapons among non-State actors. We must also combat transnational organized crime. That will further strengthen trust among States of the region, thereby helping us turn the page and put an end to conflicts.”

  16. “Led by the United Nations and the African Union, the rest of the international community and other partners and friends of the Great Lakes region must also become involved. We welcome the consensus on collective regional cooperation and are optimistic that, through such joint regional and international efforts, we will be able to consolidate lasting peace and dispel the mistrust and suspicion among the region's countries, mentioned in the second paragraph of the Dar es-Salaam Declaration. Now we will be able to focus on other tasks. We urge the international community to strengthen national and regional capacity, in particular that of African forces, through the provision of financing and equipment so that they can shoulder their responsibility to put an end to conflicts and disputes. In addition, there are other pressing concerns.”

  17. “Therefore, we have participated in all meetings concerning the region since the Security Council, in 1994, supported the holding, under the auspices of the United Nations and the Organization of African Unity of an international conference on the Great Lakes region, through the holding of the Dar es- Salaam Summit in November 2004 and the adoption of the Dar es-Salaam Declaration on Peace, Security, Democracy and Development in the Great Lakes Region. The Declaration, adopted by the heads of State or Government, is a programme of action covering all priority areas, including the establishment of lasting peace through regional efforts aimed at ending conflicts and establishing conflict prevention and monitoring mechanisms.”

  18. “That will promote stability and peace in the Great Lakes region and on the continent as a whole. There can be no doubt that the issue we are discussing at today's meeting - peace, security and development in the Great Lakes region - has been of great importance to international peace and security for decades. This region, in the heart of Africa, has endured a number of conflicts and civil wars. The Sudan is an integral part of the region and is inevitably influenced by any positive or negative developments in its other States.”

  19. “Mr. Ajawin (Sudan) (spoke in Arabic): I wish to congratulate you, Madam, and the United Republic of Tanzania on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of January. As this is the first time that I have addressed the Council, I wish to express our gratitude for the interest that the Council has consistently devoted to my country, the Sudan, since the negotiations began in Kenya and since the Council visited Nairobi last November to provide impetus to the peace process, and for the role played by the United Nations in implementing the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. On behalf of the Government of National Unity, I assure the Council of our serious commitment to implementing the Peace Agreement and making it a reality not only in the south, but throughout the Sudan.”
