  1. “In conclusion, we would like to reaffirm that the international community continues to be unable to reach fair settlements to conflicts, which contributes to exacerbating the phenomenon of human trafficking. We must put an end to that crime through concerted efforts and by addressing the root causes of human trafficking and armed conflict. We will make every effort to assist the international community and the Security Council in eradicating human trafficking and providing peace, security and welfare to all.”

  2. “In addition, in 2015, we hosted the thirteenth United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, where a comprehensive approach to fighting human trafficking, based in part on the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons, was adopted in accordance with the Doha Declaration. We also recently facilitated negotiations, together with Belgium, on the political declaration on the implementation of the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons (General Assembly resolution 72/ 1), adopted on 27 September at the tigh-level meeting of the General Assembly on the appraisal of the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons.”

  3. “At the regional level, we have supported the Arab initiative to build national capacity in combating human trafficking in Arab States in cooperation with the UNODC and the League of Arab States. At the international level, the State of Qatar contributes effectively to the efforts of the Group of Friends United to Combat Human Trafficking. The State of Qatar has been one of the largest donors to the United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Human Trafficking, Especially Women and Children, since the Fund's establishment. We are also one of the biggest supporters of UNODC, which is the United Nations focal point for combating the crime of human trafficking.”

  4. “The State of Qatar is also working on enhancing the complementarity and cooperation among concerned entities working on drafting and implementing national plans and strategies to combat terrorism and corruption, provide humanitarian relief, and combat and eradicate human trafficking at the national, regional and international levels. At the national level, the State of Qatar has implemented a number of legislative and executive measures that criminalize human trafficking in all its various forms, punish perpetrators and provide protection, rehabilitation and reintegration into society for its victims. We have established a national committee on combating human trafficking to coordinate the efforts of State institutions and civil society aimed at dealing with that horrific phenomenon.”

  5. “As stated in the report of the Secretary-General, the phenomenon of trafficking in persons has become increasingly more dangerous, owing to the fact that terrorist groups are using young victims to perpetrate terrorist acts and are diverting the proceeds of trafficking to finance such acts. The State of Qatar is committed to international law and believes in the importance of enhancing and protecting human rights and upholding human dignity. We continue to contribute to international efforts aimed at combating that heinous phenomenon. The State of Qatar focuses its efforts on addressing the root causes of human trafficking, whether they be social, economic, cultural, political or ideological, or the result of the absence of the rule of law.”

  6. “The report of the Secretary-General (S/2017/939) on trafficking in persons in armed conflict pursuant to Security Council resolution 2331 (2016) includes important information and recommendations that we, as members of the international community, must take into account in our efforts aimed at combating the phenomenon of human trafficking, especially in countries and regions in conflict. The indicators in the report show an increasing number of victims of that heinous crime, especially women and children. We must therefore intensify our efforts to meet the obligation set forth in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development not to leave anyone behind.”

  7. “Mr. Al-Ansari (Qatar) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, for presiding over the Security Council for this month and thank you for organizing today's important debate on a matter that concerns basic human rights. Unfortunately, trafficking in persons has become a global phenomenon, especially in countries suffering from conflicts. I would also like to thank Secretary- General Antonio Guterres; Mr. Yuri Fedotov, Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC); Ms. Maria Grazia Giammarinaro, United Nations Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children; and Mr. Sma'il Chergui, Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union, for their valuable briefings.”

  8. “We also would like to reiterate the need for regional ownership of all programmes and projects carried out in the Great Lakes region. I would like to ask Mr. Fall about efforts to implement the Pact on Security, Stability and Development in the Great Lakes Region. When does he expect the Pact to be fully implemented? And what are the impediments that are blocking its implementation?”

  9. “Security and stability cannot be achieved, in turn, without clear cooperation among the countries and the peoples of the region and the support of the international community as a whole. That will facilitate the conclusion of transparent economic accords between the countries of the region and international financial institutions. Those accords and agreements must be based on a clear understanding of the socio-economic situation in those countries and the cancellation of their foreign debt, or at least the amelioration of their debt situation. Projects that are founded on sound economic and financial bases must also be established, particularly in View of the strategic location of the region on the continent of Africa and its immense natural resources.”

  10. “Implementation will constitute a connection between the Security Council and the Peace and Security Council of the African Union. We also believe there is a need to benefit from the role of other international regional and subregional organizations in order to find means to deal with the problems of the region. The Peacebuilding Commission's discharge of its mandate in the region will have a direct and positive influence on the resolution of the problems of the African continent as a whole. Fully aware of the challenges facing us, we believe that sustainable development will not be achieved without good governance and assured and adequate sources of income, which can be achieved only through security and stability.”

  11. “That means there will be an appropriate mechanism to give the necessary support. We must not lose sight of the fact that there is a need to implement previous resolutions of the Security Council, which are extremely important to the countries of the Great Lakes region, particularly those pertaining the prevention of conflicts, assessment of the problem of armed groups and violations of human rights, as well as ways and means to preserve peace and security in the region and solving the problems of displaced persons and refugees in the region. In this regard, we note particularly the implementation of resolutions 1625 (2005), 1631 (2005), 1649 (2005), 1653 (2006), which, we believe, will be a very important factor in ensuring the success of the mechanisms established by the Great Lakes region.”

  12. “We pay special attention to the need for payment of the assessed contributions to the secretariat in order to ensure its smooth functioning. Its work will include the promotion of all stakeholders and actors in civil society and dealing with some of the main questions in the Great Lakes region, including those pertaining to women, youth, reform of the security sector and exploitation of natural resources in the region. It will be extremely important, in this regard, to set priorities in implementation. We appreciate the role of the Group of Friends of the Great Lakes Region and urge it to continue to play its role in the implementation of the Pact. We also urge all international partners to continue their positive involvement, particularly after the decision of the Great Lakes region to establish a trust fund for that purpose.”

  13. “We also recall the conclusions and declaration adopted at the Second Conference, held in Nairobi in 2006, which resulted in the signing of the Pact on Security, Stability and Development in the Great Lakes Region by the regional heads of State. The Security Council adopted a presidential statement supporting the summit and endorsing its results following the open debate held on 20 December 2006, under my delegation's presidency. We look forward to the ratification of the Pact so that its practical implementation can begin. One of the tangible positive steps taken by the second Conference is the establishment of regional follow-up and monitoring mechanisms through the establishment of the secretariat in Bujumbura.”

  14. “Mr. Al-Ansari (Qatar) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I should like to thank Mr. Ibrahima Fall, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the Great Lakes Region, for his briefing. I wish him every success following the end of his tenure this month. I commend the special attention that the Secretary-General has paid to the Great Lakes region; his field visits to certain countries there upon assuming his office; his attendance at the summit of the African Union in Addis Ababa in late January; and the important meetings he held at the margins of the summit with representatives of important countries of the Great Lakes region. We recall Security Council resolution 1653 (2006), adopted following the First International Conference on Peace, Security, Democracy and Development in the Great Lakes Region, held in Dar es-Salaam in 2004.”
