  1. “The United Arab Emirates supports all initiatives aimed at ending the conflict in the east, including the Nairobi process, the Luanda process and other regional efforts, including the outcomes of the quadripartite process that is happening this week. All of those key processes seek to support the Democratic Republic of the Congo in its quest for peace and stability, but coordination and unity of purpose among them will also be essential. The United Arab Emirates is unwavering in its support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We reaffirm our commitment to aiding it on its path towards peace and stability. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

  2. “The work being done by Congolese and international humanitarian workers on behalf of the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is essential and should be supported. Despite the current security situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, peace is not only possible but attainable. Dialogue and diplomacy are the foundation of a secure, stable and prosperous Democratic Republic of the Congo. For that to happen, inclusive dialogue will be key to better addressing issues such as the instrumentalization of inter-ethnic incitement and conflict at the community level. That is particularly timely as the country prepares to hold national elections later this year. Regional diplomatic efforts are paramount.”

  3. “The Democratic Republic of the Congo is facing a triple crisis — dramatic increases in sexual violence, food insecurity and health and climate risks. Each of them aggravates an already dire humanitarian context and has even prompted a United Nations system-wide humanitarian scale-up. Last month in North Kivu, Médecins Sans Frontières reported that nearly 50 people per day were seeking medical treatment in just one clinic following a sexual assault. Sexual violence in IDP camps around Goma renders daily activities a constant risk for women and girls. Meanwhile, food insecurity is rapidly increasing. In some localities, up to 65 per cent of the population are going hungry. Humanitarian support must be scaled up significantly, as the plan remains underfunded.”

  4. “We also encourage it to empower local actors to condemn hate speech and the stigmatization of communities. It will also be important to include a strategy for the protection of civilians in the upcoming plan for the drawdown of MONUSCO, with a particular emphasis on the protection of sites for internally displaced persons (IDPs). We strongly condemn the recent attacks by the Coopérative pour le développement du Congo on IDP camps. The camps are often the only safe haven for civilians in a vulnerable situation and must be protected with the full force of the international community’s ability. Secondly, we cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, particularly those in the east of the country.”

  5. “In resolution 2686 (2023), the Council recognized that hate speech and related forms of intolerance can help to drive conflict, and that eradicating them requires a whole-of-society and whole-of-Government approach. Putting an end to violence at the intercommunal level, before it escalates, demands resources and effective mediation initiatives. The United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) and other international partners have a critical role to play in supporting those efforts and ensuring that they have local buy-in. MONUSCO, in particular, should regularly consult civilian populations and civil society about their protection needs and incorporate their input into its protection activities.”

  6. “It is essential to remember that international humanitarian law is unequivocal on the obligations of all the parties to a conflict regarding the protection of civilians. The United Arab Emirates reiterates its condemnation of the actions of the Mouvement du 23 mars (M-23) and other armed groups. We are particularly appalled by the recent heinous attack on a school in Uganda by the Allied Democratic Forces that left 41 dead. The armed groups, including the M-23, must lay down their weapons and cease their hostilities permanently and unconditionally. Efforts to ensure their withdrawal must be redoubled. We also condemn all forms of hate speech that fuel hostility and discrimination and divide communities.”

  7. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Arab Emirates. I would like to join others in thanking Assistant Secretary-General Pobee for her informative briefing, and I also welcome the participation of the representatives of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda in today’s meeting. Ms. Pobee’s insights depict ever- evolving security and humanitarian challenges on the ground, and there is clearly no straightforward solution to those problems. But today we have acknowledged the urgency of the situation and the need to work towards creating the conditions for long-term stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I would like to make two points to that effect. First, the protection of civilians must remain at the centre of all peace efforts.”

  8. “In accordance with rule 37 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representatives of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda to participate in this meeting. In accordance with rule 39 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite Ms. Martha Ama Akyaa Pobee, Assistant Secretary-General for Africa in the Departments of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs and Peace Operations, to participate in this meeting. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I now give the floor to Ms. Pobee.”
