  5. “My country is of the view that measures should therefore be taken on the basis of bolder commitments, particularly aimed at the establishment of flexible, predictable and sustainable financing based on assessed contributions. Cote d'Ivoire therefore invites all stakeholders to take a further step towards finding lasting and solutions that are essential to the effective functioning of African Union peace support operations. In any case, it is in the context of a united effort and the genuine involvement of all its actors that the international community will succeed in strengthening conflict resolution and prevention mechanisms, which can make an effective contribution to international peace and security.”

  6. “Indeed, resolution 2320 (2016) marked a major step in the United Nation's commitment to African Union peacekeeping operations by demonstrating the Council's readiness to consider funding proposals, in accordance, inter alia, with international obligations applicable to the principles of accountability and transparency, to which African Union peace support operations are subject. In that regard, resolution 2378 (2017) is also an important step in the right direction, expressing the Security Council's intention to consider the practical arrangements and conditions necessary for the establishment of a mechanism whereby authorized African operations, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations, could be financed on a case-by-case basis.”

  7. “In that regard, it is important to note once again that only solidarity between the United Nations and the African Union will make it possible to consider appropriate and lasting solutions in the framework of a common vision for the maintenance of peace and security in Africa. That highlights the need for close cooperation between those two organizations, which deserves to be encouraged and strengthened, particularly with respect to the crucial issue of financing African peace operations. In that regard, my country welcomes the gradual evolution of approaches with a view to improving the financing of peace support operations in Africa, and that this step is an essential link in the process of stabilizing the continent.”

  8. “There is therefore a need to act together to address, through peacekeeping operations, contemporary challenges to peace and security. Moreover, strengthening the troop capacities and taking account of the gender dimension in peacekeeping operations could play a decisive role in the effective implementation of their mandates. International security remains inextricably linked to peace and security in Africa - a continent where complex and multifaceted security challenges, as well as the perpetuation of conflicts, undermine the foundations of stability and development. In regard to funding at the African level, Cote d'Ivoire welcomes the fact that, in 2017, the African Union Peace Fund received the highest level of contributions from member States since its establishment in 1993.”

  9. “The extent of the challenges facing our world calls for diligent action on our part, which highlights the important of the Secretary-General's Action for Peacekeeping initiative, which my country fully endorses. It is important to recall that some of the major obstacles to the effectiveness of peacekeeping operations include the way host countries and populations perceive those missions, vague mandates and the inadequacy of the human and logistical resources available. It should be noted that peacekeeping operations with clear, precise and objective mandates support national political processes. cote d'Ivoire supports the Secretary-General's vision of peacekeeping, which is first and foremost one of collective responsibility.”

  10. “To that end, the signing on 19 April 2017 by the Secretary-General and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission of the Joint United Nations-African Union Framework for an Enhanced Partnership in Peace and Security, is the expression of the strategic commitment of these two organizations to address threats to peace and security on the continent. Today, the political and military mechanisms deployed by subregional and regional organizations in the context of conflict prevention and resolution, which have already proved their effectiveness, deserve to be strengthened so as to be more effective. Peacekeeping, an essential tool of the United Nations for promoting and ensuring international peace and security, faces many challenges that significantly affect its effectiveness.”

  11. “It is clear from all this that the State's close cooperation with subregional and regional organizations and the United Nations is an undeniable asset for crisis prevention and management. In that sense, the strategic partnership between regional organizations and the United Nations, pursuant to Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations, must be more closely oriented towards action and results, shared responsibility, the spirit of cooperation and enhanced coordination. In that regard, the African Union, through its regional conflict prevention and management mechanisms, has established itself today as an essential and credible partner of the United Nations.”

  12. “In Mali in 2012, the resolve of President Alassane Ouattara, who was Chairperson ofECOWAS at the time, and the mobilization of his peers enabled the return to constitutional order in the country after the putsch led by Captain Sanogo. That regional commitment also helped to mobilize the international community, particularly France, whose military intervention prevented terrorist groups from the north of the country from seizing Bamako. I thank the French authorities for the action being taken by the French army in the Sahel against the terrorist groups that threaten our common security in West Africa. In all these situations, the African Union, followed by the United Nations, took over from ECOWAS on the political and security levels.”

  13. “Thus, in my country, for example, negotiations conducted by Senegal, in its former capacity as Chairperson of ECOWAS, led to the first ceasefire agreement with the Ivorian rebels in October 2002 in Bouake. In addition, in the framework of ECOWAS mechanisms, Togo hosted the first inter-Ivorian negotiations from October to December 2002, which had the merit of establishing the bases ofa political solution to the conflict. I also welcome the mediation of other friendly countries, such as Ghana and South Africa, under whose auspices several agreements were signed between the Ivorian warring parties. The African Union and then the United Nations subsequently took over from ECOWAS in the conduct of political and military processes. Finally, Burkina Faso played a decisive role in organizing the October 2010 presidential elections in my country.”

  14. “Those actions have allowed us to preserve the State and its institutions and to organize national and local elections in peace, security and stability, which has greatly contributed to the current economic growth in Cote d'lvoire. The Ivorian experience in peacekeeping, peacebuilding and sustaining peace, must therefore be pursued and shared. In recent years, there have been major developments in conflict prevention, management and resolution in Africa. They are particularly marked by shared responsibilities and the primacy of regional and subregional actors in the conduct of the earliest peace initiatives after the outbreak of conflict, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity. It is in the name of that principle that ECOWAS is playing an increasingly decisive and leading role in the settlement of conflicts in our region.”

  15. “Consequently, the Ivorian Government, with the assistance of its partners, has managed to restore State authority and security throughout the national territory, accelerate and make national reconciliation and social cohesion irreversible, successfully implement the DDR and security sector reform programmes, and promote the rule of law and human rights. Since the departure of UNOCI in June 2017, the Government has capitalized on all those achievements and continues that worthy course with the support of the United Nations country team. The support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to the national development plan 2016-2020 is eloquent testimony to that.”

  16. “After more than a decade of crisis, C6te d'lvoire, which very early on realized the stakes of restoring stability, has resolutely embarked on the path of peace-building thanks to the excellent cooperation between the Ivorian Government and the United Nations through the United Nations Operation in Cote d'Ivoire (UNOCI). The combined national and international efforts resulted in establishing, in the context of the Peacebuilding Fund, a joint plan, called the Peacebuilding Priority Plans for 2011-2014 and 2015- 2017. It has $30 million and has supported local efforts in the areas of governance, preserving the social climate, normalizing political life and ensuring the security of people and property.”

  17. “Conflict prevention and management, which are increasingly multifaceted, necessarily require a common strategy, accepted by all, with national ownership and clear priorities, to which the United Nations, the international community and national partners should devote sufficient resources. The case of my country is a perfect illustration of that. States of course have the primary responsibility for detecting and eliminating the structural and cyclical factors conducive to the outbreak of crises, in particular by reducing inequalities, promoting the rule of law and good governance, facilitating access to employment for young people and ensuring political support for resource mobilization, both human and material.”

  18. “In this globalized world, where no organization alone can shoulder the responsibility for managing the threats to collective security, strengthening cooperation and coordination among national actors, subregional and regional organizations and the United Nations is imperative. In our view, the pursuit of a more inclusive approach of all actors, taking into account a clear definition of responsibilities, remains the most effective way to ensure the prevention and management of the conflicts that are at the heart of the agenda of the Security Council and underpin its existence.”

  19. “The increasing number and continuance ofconflicts in the world, which are testing the United Nations peace architecture, as well as the various crisis prevention and resolution mechanisms, continue to represent significant challenges and sources for collective reflection for the Council and the international community. Given the complexity of the situation, it is increasingly necessary to adopt innovative and inclusive approaches that go off the beaten path and to call for common action and the greater involvement of all national, subregional, regional and international stakeholders in the prevention and management of conflicts.”
