“We believe that the efforts of the troop- contributing countries are particularly commendable in terms of facilitating humanitarian aid, and in that context, the United Arab Emirates condemns all attacks targeting peacekeepers and preventing humanitarian aid from reaching those most in need. We also encourage UNISFA to continue to implement quick-impact projects to support communities throughout the Area. In conclusion, in the context of the upcoming negotiations on the UNISFA mandate, we look forward to constructive discussions with the other members of the Council. The United Arab Emirates remains committed to supporting all peace and stability efforts in Abyei.”

“Those challenges require continued efforts to strengthen the capacity of community protection committees and joint protection committees to identify early warning signs, which is critical to strengthening the rule of law in Abyei. The concerns of survivors of sexual and gender- based violence must also be addressed through UNISFA’s gender desk. Furthermore, in line with resolution 2686 (2023), we encourage the mission to continue to promote dialogue and peaceful coexistence among communities by engaging with traditional leaders, local authorities, youth and women to defuse tensions, address intolerance and mobilize support for peace. Thirdly, it is important that the United Nations system continue to play its vital role in coordinating peace efforts and humanitarian activities in the Abyei Area.”

“We further recall the need to focus on safeguarding the progress that was already made on Abyei and work towards the resumption of dialogue once conditions are in place, which also requires close cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations such as the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development. Secondly, efforts to reduce tensions among communities must be coupled with efforts to improve livelihoods for the long-term security and stability of Abyei. Recent efforts have resulted in reduced levels of violence and clashes among communities, but we note that the cycle of violence and clashes among communities continues. In that context, my country condemns the killings of civilians and sexual and gender-based violence.”

“That requires the protection of its staff to continue their important tasks, especially in the light of the security gaps along the border area, as reported by the Secretary-General, which is not in line with the Agreement of 20 June 2011 on maintaining the demilitarized status of the Abyei Area. We also believe that it is important to continue the coordination of work and information-sharing between the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA), the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan and the United Nations Mission in South Sudan to enhance efforts to address issues of common concern, including border security and transhumance.”

“Ms. Alawadhi (United Arab Emirates) (spoke in Arabic): I would like at the outset to thank Under- Secretary-General Lacroix and Special Envoy Tetteh for their comprehensive briefings. I also welcome the representatives of the Sudan and South Sudan to this meeting. The region is witnessing an escalation that threatens to complicate the efforts toward achieving tangible progress for the settlement of the final status of the Abyei Area and the border issues. In that context, I would like to focus on three main points. First, with the outbreak of violence in the Sudan and the continued security and political tensions in South Sudan, we believe that enabling the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM) to accomplish its work is an absolute necessity.”
