“Finally, the continued support of the international community is crucial to realizing long-term peace and security in Somalia.”

“Our partners in the African Union and the troop- contributing countries to the African Union Mission in Somalia have made huge sacrifices in supporting Somalia as it works to retake control of its own security. The United Kingdom looks forward to constructive dialogue among members of the Security Council towards agreeing on a mandate that sets a path towards greater Somali leadership on security. In conclusion, I wish to emphasize three points. First, it is vital that the Federal Government and the federal member states reach an agreement to ensure dialogue in order that the delivery of credible and inclusive elections is ensured. Secondly, longer-term cooperation between the Federal Government and the federal member states is essential to addressing issues critical to Somalia’s stability, security and development.”

“Any alternative outcomes, including partial elections or any unilateral actions that lack broad agreement, will not receive support from the international community, risking further violence and greater instability. The timely delivery of the electoral process would also allow Somalia’s leaders to refocus on the critical issues that require urgent attention, such as the ongoing humanitarian crisis. The United Nations has made an appeal for $1 billion in 2021. Millions of Somalis are experiencing severe food insecurity. The United Nations estimates the number of people in humanitarian need will increase to 5.9 million by the end of 2021. Concerted support from the international community is essential to supporting Somalia’s long-term stability.”

“We express our condolences to the families of victims and stand in solidarity with Somalia in its fight against terrorism. The United Kingdom welcomes the agreement reached by the technical committee on 16 February on the implementation of the electoral process in line with the 17 September agreement between the Federal Government of Somalia and the federal member states, which is the only legitimate basis for elections. We are concerned by the violent clashes in Mogadishu on 19 February. Somalia’s leaders must arrive at a consensus on the implementation of the electoral process without delay. That requires that all parties demonstrate flexibility. It is vital that inclusive national elections take place as soon as possible.”

“On behalf of the United Kingdom, I would first like to express our condolences to the Government of Italy and to the World Food Programme (WFP) following the attack on the WFP convoy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo earlier today, which resulted in the deaths of three people, including the Italian Ambassador. Our thoughts are with their families and those who were injured. Turning to the subject of Somalia, I would like to start by thanking our briefers today. The United Kingdom strongly condemns the terror attacks launched by Al-Shabaab in Mogadishu in recent weeks. As the prospect of national elections draws closer, such incidents have increased, which is a clear attempt to destabilize and disrupt the process.”

“Resolution 2417 (2018) makes clear that humanitarian access must not be impeded. In addition, as we have heard, restrictions by the Government of Yemen on fuel imports are sharply increasing prices, threatening the delivery of basic services and endangering the lives of Yemenis. Significant external financial assistance to the Central Bank of Yemen is also urgently needed. Finally, further Houthi delays to the United Nations mission to assess the FSO SAFER oil tanker are unacceptable. With another vessel potentially identified, I hope the United Nations can outline in greater detail what more it needs from the Houthis for this mission to deploy.”

“It will take the collective efforts of the Security Council to persuade the Houthis to cease that offensive. This conflict will not end without a comprehensive deal involving all of Yemen’s key political groups, including the Houthis. In that regard, I welcome the supportive statements that Martin Griffiths received during his recent visits to Tehran and Riyadh and hope that the Houthis will now receive the Special Envoy in Sana’a to discuss the way forward. As we have heard, while the war rages, millions of Yemenis risk starvation. To prevent famine, the international community and Yemen’s key partners must step up at the pledging conference on 1 March — or, as Mr. Lowcock said, before that. History — and the Yemeni people — will not look kindly on us if we fail.”

“I extend my thanks to Special Envoy Griffiths, Under-Secretary-General Lowcock and Ambassador King for their briefings. For Yemen, the year 2021 started much as 2020 left off: an intractable conflict with what threatens to be the worst famine in decades. But as we have heard, there is an opportunity. Increased engagement by the United States of America on Yemen, including the reversal of designation, is a welcome milestone. And we fully support United Nations efforts to broker a deal that ends hostilities, eases economic restrictions and leads to a comprehensive political process. Nevertheless, the Houthis have responded to this push for peace by escalating their attacks against Saudi Arabia and launching a new offensive on Ma’rib — a city where 1 million Yemenis have sought refuge.”

Last month’s devastating attack in Baghdad demonstrates the importance of the ongoing work of the Global Coalition to Defeat Da’esh, in close partnership with the Iraqi security forces. We also condemn last night’s attack on coalition forces and civilians in Erbil. We are deeply troubled by the short notice and uncoordinated closure of camps for internally displaced persons.

Our commitment to the democratic process in Iraq remains steadfast, and we look forward to further discussions on how the United Nations can support the elections following Iraq’s request for United Nations observation.

Nearly 3,500 innocent civilians have died and 3.4 million are in need of humanitarian assistance. We remind Russia of its obligations. It must withdraw its military personnel and weapons from the territory of Ukraine, cease its support for the armed formations that it backs and stop access restrictions and intimidation of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Special Monitoring Mission in areas held by its proxies. Russia’s objective is to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. We urge Russia to match the political will demonstrated by Ukraine so that real progress can be made.”

The significant reduction in violence is welcome but the ceasefire remains fragile. Russia continues to supply arms and personnel to its proxies. Russia and its proxies continue to block new entry and exit points along the line of contact and the full implementation of plans for disengagement and demining.

“The cat-and-mouse game of non-credible explanations and excuses cannot continue. The Technical Secretariat has repeatedly made clear that it stands ready to assist Syria in this regard. I note DAT’s intention to deploy for consultations again early this month. We expect Syria to provide a full response to all the queries during those meetings. The ongoing threat posed to international peace and security by these unresolved issues is not hypothetical, especially to the thousands of Syrians who have suffered the horrifying effects on the body of nerve agents and chlorine since 2014.”

“As the OPCW Director-General notes in his 25 January report (S/2021/84, annex), one of the 19 outstanding issues pertains to a chemical weapons production facility declared by the Syrian National Authority as never having been used for the production of chemical weapons. The review of all the information and other materials gathered by the Declaration Assessment Team (DAT) since 2014, including samples, indicates that production and/or weaponization of chemical warfare nerve agents did take place there. The fact that four of the unresolved issues have been closed shows that, contrary to the assertions of some that they are artificial, they can be resolved if Syria chooses to engage genuinely and constructively. Syria needs to provide complete access to documents and witnesses.”

“We extend our thanks to High Representative Nakamitsu for her briefing today, and I welcome the contributions from other members of the Council. As recognized by the Security Council in resolution 2118 (2013), ongoing coordination between the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is vital if we are to collectively resolve this issue. Despite decisions of the Council and that of the OPCW Executive Council of 27 September 2013, Syria’s declaration of its chemical weapons programme can still not be considered accurate and complete. The unresolved issues are of a serious and substantive nature.”
