  1. “Lusamba, in the rehabilitation and reintegration of survivors, including psychosocial support, which is essential to overcoming trauma from sexual violence. The recent criminal proceedings and the sentences handed down by national courts to perpetrators of crimes against humanity, including rape and sexual slavery, are undoubtedly advances in the right direction, as was the decision of the International Criminal Court on reparations to victims in the Bosco Ntagana case. Strengthening the national judicial system and complaint mechanisms is vital, which is why Mexico calls on us to continue strengthening that avenue with a focus on survivors.”

  2. “To achieve a successful withdrawal and to strengthen the foundations towards a lasting transition, Mexico urges the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to pursue its efforts to carry out the necessary reforms in the security sector and the national framework for disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, as well as to address the root causes of violence, such as intercommunity conflicts. We also urge all regional partners to work with the Democratic Republic of the Congo to end the illegal exploitation and trafficking of natural resources. An issue of particular concern to Mexico is care for survivors of conflict- related sexual violence. In this regard, we acknowledge the work of the Organization, coordinated by Ms.”

  3. “With a view to reducing the Mission’s presence and transferring MONUSCO’s functions to national authorities, institution-strengthening work has a particularly important role to play. We take note of the visit of the Special Representative to Kasai Central and of her joint work with the United Nations country team, as well as with the national and provincial Governments, to achieve the transition objective. Mexico believes that the drawdown of MONUSCO’s presence should be gradual and based on actual security conditions on the ground and on a greater presence of the State and the strengthening of its institutions.”

  4. “The pandemic and the resurgence of Ebola further exacerbate the fragile situation in which the Congolese population lives, particularly in the eastern provinces. As the violence continues, the food insecurity situation will deteriorate. As the Secretary- General recently said, “if you do not feed people, you feed conflict”. The protection of civilians mandate of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) is critical, not only because of its direct work in providing protection to communities, but also because of its stabilization efforts and work in building the peace that the Congolese people so yearns for.”

  5. “However, Mexico views with concern the increase in incidents of violence in the eastern provinces, particularly in North Kivu and Ituri, where the Allied Democratic Forces have increased their attacks. We condemn the attack on a World Food Programme convoy, in which the Italian Ambassador, the security officer and the driver of the vehicle were tragically killed. We reiterate our condolences to their families. The increase in violence has had regrettable humanitarian consequences. In recent months, 86 per cent of the new displacements have been caused by armed attacks. The humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of the most critical. Almost 20 million people require humanitarian assistance.”

  6. “I thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Bintou Keita, and Ms. Sandrine Lusamba for their briefings. As this is the first meeting attended by Ms. Keita in her new capacity, I take this opportunity to wish her success and offer the support of Mexico in her new responsibilities. Similarly, we acknowledge the work of the former Special Representative, Leila Zerrougui. Mexico remains attentive to political changes in Kinshasa, particularly with a view to the formation of the new Government. We welcome the announcement by President Félix Tshisekedi that this Government will be made up of 30 per cent women. We also congratulate the Democratic Republic of the Congo on assuming the chairmanship of the African Union.”

  7. “Finally, the establishment of diplomatic relations between a number of Arab countries and Israel, as well as some signs of easing tensions in the Middle East, seem to be clear signs that this is a favourable moment for renewed dialogue, and this opportunity should not be missed. I should not like to conclude my remarks without stating that Mexico welcomes the announcement by the United States in support of the Palestinian refugee population.”

  8. “We also call on Israel to increase cooperation with the Palestinian Authority to support the fight against COVID-19 in the West Bank and in Gaza, including by increasing donations of vaccines as well as facilitating the entry and distribution of immunizations from overseas. We deeply regret the continued acts of violence and condemn the attacks against civilians by both sides. Attacks launched from the Gaza Strip on Israeli cities must be stopped and we call on Palestinian authorities and political leaders to prevent armed groups from perpetrating acts of violence that could be detrimental to the peace process. Recognizing the right to security of both, Israel and Palestine, Mexico strongly calls on both to exercise maximum restraint. We also call on the parties to stop incitement and inflammatory rhetoric.”

  9. “Not only are these measures a violation of international law and United Nations resolutions, but they also represent an obstacle to the two-State solution. Mexico urges an immediate halt to the construction and expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. As for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, it has had devastating social and economic effects throughout the world. As has been mentioned in this forum, the distribution of vaccines has been inequitable. We recognize the results of Israel’s strategy to vaccinate a high proportion of its population in a record time as an example to the rest of the world, and we applaud the donations of vaccines, medicines and medical equipment made to other countries.”

  10. “This could represent a genuine confidence-building measure to demonstrate Israel’s interest in consolidating a united Palestinian partner in the peace negotiations. In terms of demolitions, Mexico notes that, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, at least 199 Palestinian-owned structures were seized or forced to be demolished this year, including 77 funded by international donors. Such actions have resulted in the displacement of 285 people, including 150 minors. Mexico once again condemns any action seeking to alter the demography, character or status of the occupied Palestinian territories, such as the confiscation of land, the demolition of homes, the displacement of civilians and the construction and expansion of Israeli settlements.”

  11. “Likewise, international assistance will be critical to strengthening integration between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and thereby advancing in the construction of a democratic State. My country, Mexico, welcomes the large number of Palestinian citizens who have already registered to participate in these elections, reflecting the will of the electorate to be part of this process. We urge Palestinian leaders and civil society to encourage the participation of women, youth and minority representatives as candidates. While recognizing the continued civil and security cooperation between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in recent months, we also urge the Israeli Government to facilitate the development of Palestinian elections, especially in East Jerusalem.”

  12. “This must address Israel’s legitimate security concerns and its right to exist, while enabling the consolidation of a politically and economically viable Palestinian State. On this occasion, I will focus my participation on three points: first, the Palestinian elections; secondly, demolitions; and, finally, equitable access to vaccines. On the issue of the Palestinian elections, we welcome the rapprochement among the various Palestinian factions. We acknowledge the mediation by Arab countries, in particular Egypt. The establishment of a united and democratic Palestinian Government committed to peace would represent an important step towards negotiating a solution to the conflict.”

  13. “First, as this is the last meeting under the presidency of the United Kingdom, I would like to congratulate you, Madam, on the successful conduct of our work during this month. I also extend my gratitude to Special Coordinator Wennesland for his informative briefing, and to Oren Gian and Malak AbuSoud for their inspiring contributions. Believe me, your presentations help us to understand the situation more directly and to be sensitive to your visions. Thank you very much for your participation. Mexico reiterates its conviction that the establishment of two independent States, living side by side in peace and within secure and internationally recognized borders, based on the resolutions of the Council and the General Assembly, is the only alternative that ensures peace and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians.”
