1. “Before I conclude, on my own behalf and on behalf of my Government and my President, I would like to express my gratitude to the Security Council and to the Chair of the Sanctions Committee, in particular, for the historic lifting, in December 2022, of the notification clause imposed on the Democratic Republic of Congo. The meeting rose at 10.25 a.m. 23-184573/3”

2. “The Group must not languish in the search for a means to spare the real perpetrators of the tragedy in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Government has submitted the confidential report on the management of stocks of arms and munitions on time. At the Government’s behest, the Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs travelled to New York to demonstrate the Government’s commitment in that regard. I would also like to assure the Council that my country’s justice system, in close partnership with the United Nations Follow-on Mechanism, headed by Prosecutor Robert Petit, is continuing its work and its investigation into the murder of two United Nations experts.”

3. “With regard to the Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, whose mandate has just been extended until 1 August 2024, the Council can be assured of the cooperation of the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the discharge of that mandate so that all the truths, dynamics, entities and true obscure players in the tragedy unfolding in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo can be exposed. My Government hopes that the Experts’ approach will be objective and that they will not be mistaken about the real targets, the priority targets whose annihilation could advance the agenda of peace in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. My country is indeed a major victim; it is the real perpetrators and their networks that need to be dismantled.”

4. “Mr. Banza (Democratic Republic of the Congo) (spoke in French): My delegation takes note of resolution 2688 (2023), which the Security Council has 2/323-18457 27/06/2023The situation concerning the Democratic Republic of the CongoS/PV.9360 just unanimously adopted, and once again thanks the members of the Council for their commitment to my country’s cause. My country welcomes the renewal, until 1 July 2024, of the sanctions regime in force against all non-governmental entities and individuals operating on Congolese territory. My delegation’s wish is that these renewed measures will have a real impact on the ground and serve as a deterrent that is more effective in ultimately breaking the financial and military backbone of the entities, armed groups and other mafia-like individuals operating in the eastern part of my country.”
