  2. “Elections, both this year and next, are an opportunity for the nation to communicate its aspirations to the political parties. Those elections are a crucial point at which political trust can be renewed and stability forged. We commend the progress made by Afghanistan's Independent Electoral Commission towards electoral reform and we encourage it to redouble its efforts to ensure that voter registration is completed according to agreed timelines. We hope that UNAMA will support those efforts fully. In conclusion, we fully support UNAMA, and we welcome the renewal of its mandate today. As a Council, we have collectively endorsed the importance of inclusion, including of women, and of upholding and promoting human rights.”

  3. “The sharp focus on the involvement of women in peace and security in this mandate renewal is particularly welcome. With inclusiveness in mind, we highly commend the bold offer laid out by President Ghani, Chief Executive Abdullah and Afghanistan's National Unity Government at the recent meeting of the Kabul Process for Peace and Security Cooperation. We welcome the credibility, flexibility and openness of the offer, which gives the Taliban the opportunity to be part ofa political process towards peace. While the Council was not able to reflect those recent developments in the mandate renewal, I hope we will find another opportunity to endorse it and to lend our full support to those Afghan- led efforts. Finally, the United Nations must play a strong role in supporting free and fair elections.”

  4. “Implementing the findings of the strategic review and the Secretary- General's report of August 2017 (S/2017/696) will allow UNAMA to be as efficient as possible and to adapt as circumstances change. I am pleased to see that this is reflected in resolution 2405 (2018), adopted today, and I hope it will send a strong signal to the Mission's hard- working personnel that we fully support them. UNAMA's mandate to support peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan remains at the core of the Mission. That will be delivered sustainably only through a credible, inclusive, Afghan-led and Afghan- owned political process where all Afghan citizens, whatever their background, can resolve grievances through dialogue. Of course, for peace to be sustainable it must be inclusive.”

  5. “We encourage the Government of Afghanistan to ensure its full implementation in line with the law on the elimination ofviolence against women, which we hope will continue to be used to guarantee Afghan women the protection and accountability they deserve. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) is an essential mechanism in supporting Afghanistan's recovery from conflict. The continued presence of UNAMA and the resolve, resourcefulness and skill with which its staff support the Afghan people are a strong signal of the international community's commitment. The United Kingdom welcomes the Secretary- General's decision to host a ministerial conference on Afghanistan in Geneva on 28 November.”

  6. “Sarabi have demonstrated in their briefings and their own impressive work, women have a vital role to play in securing Afghanistan's future, and we should all stand beside them. Afghanistan cannot find lasting peace with only half its population. The United Nations must maintain a strong role in promoting and protecting the rights of women across Afghanistan and continue to support the Afghan Government in implementing its national action plan on women and peace and security. Ensuring accountability and equal access to justice for all are essential to long-term peace and stability. We welcome the adoption of Afghanistan's revised penal code and the clarity it brings.”

  7. “I would like to pay tribute to my Dutch colleagues for their tireless efforts to reach a consensus on the important resolution 2405 (2018), adopted today. I would also like to thank all of our briefers and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ambassador Yamamoto, for his briefing and for his and his team's continued efforts in challenging circumstances. I am delighted to share the Chamber with so many women on International Women's Day. I am especially pleased that we are discussing Afghanistan today, as I had the privilege to spend several years in Afghanistan working to support education for Afghan girls and a future in Parliament for Afghan women. As Ms. Safi and Ms.”
