  1. “Finally, the Security Council must hold debriefing meetings on attacks carried out frequently in specific areas. In conclusion, I reaffirm Senegal's dedication to the protection of medical personnel and health facilities during armed conflict, an issue that remains at the heart of the Global Health and Foreign Policy initiative of the Oslo Group on Global Health Policy, which our country led in 2015, with the adoption by the General Assembly of resolution 63/33 on strengthening the management of international health crises.”

  2. “In addition to these recommendations of the Secretary-General, we believe that it would be just as relevant to take the following additional measures to counter the attacks and obstructions to access to health care in conflict zones. First, we must identify all obstacles that prevent access to health care and medical facilities, and to ensure that these obstacles are lifted so as to enable appropriate deployment on the ground. Secondly, local health-care organizations must be supported so as to ensure that they can provide minimum services thanks to ad hoc solutions that could be identified based on conditions on the ground. Thirdly, military personnel must receive high- quality training in order to reduce to a minimum disruptions to health-care services, while safeguarding the legitimate security considerations.”

  3. “Furthermore, we believe that the role of United Nations peacekeeping operations needs to be strengthened. This presupposes the need, during the drafting of mandates or the establishment of missions, for capacity-building measures and support for security sector reform and sanctions procedures, and especially to ensure that the resources of peacekeeping operations are commensurate with their mandate. This also presupposes the importance of ensuring that individuals suspected of having committed grave violations of international law relating to the protection of medical care during armed conflicts be brought to justice. It further requires the restoration of basic services, including the reconstruction of medical hospitals or other medical facilities destroyed or damaged during attacks.”

  4. “It is clear that this protection must be respected in times of war. This is why we commend the timeliness of the recommendations on measures to be taken to strengthen the protection of the injured, the sick, medical personnel and humanitarian players, as well as their means of transport, as contained in the aforementioned letter of the Secretary-General. We also endorse the concrete recommendations aimed at preventing acts of Violence, attacks and threats against health care in times of armed conflict. In that regard, my delegation backs the idea of that opening investigations into allegations of Violations and a commitment to prosecuting the perpetrators of these crimes are essential to strengthening the protection of health care in times of armed conflict.”

  5. “Mr. Barro (Senegal) (spoke in French): Allow me to begin by thanking Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his briefing andfor the relevant recommendations appended to his letter dated 18Aagast 2016 (S/2016/722, annex). We would also like to thank Ms. Joanne Liu, International President of Medecins Sans Frontieres, and Mr. Peter Maurer, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, for their excellent briefings and the tireless efforts ceaselessly made by their respective organizations on the ground in order to prevent and mitigate attacks committed against medical personnel and facilities in armed conflict zones. The information we have just received demonstrates - if it was still necessary to do so - the need for the Security Council to undertake the protection of medical personnel, facilities and transport.”

  6. “Senegal supports unreservedly the joint European Union-United Nations programme aimed at enhancing trust at the community level through the protection of cultural heritage, and we would recommend the ramping up of synergies, particularly in terms of cooperation in the field of information exchange so as to help resolve issues related to missing persons. To conclude, my delegation would like once again to pay tribute to Mr. Zahir Tanin, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, for his wise leadership of UNMIK, and to welcome the achievements of the Kosovo Force, the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and, of course, the European Union, all of which are key stakeholders involved in the process ofpromoting peace and progress in Kosovo.”

  7. “In terms ofpromoting the rule oflaw, my delegation welcomes the announcement of the imminent rollout of the work of the Specialist Chambers, a Kosovar institution that will be headquartered in the Netherlands and comprise international judges with the principal mandate of trying those responsible for serious crimes committed either during or immediately following the conflict in Kosovo. By the same token, we deem vital that efforts continue in terms of cooperation and coordination between the parties in order to facilitate, with the support of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the return of displaced persons or, failing that, to work to find lasting solutions in that respect.”

  8. “The conclusion of a three-phase plan between the chambers of commerce of Belgrade and Pristina aimed at harmonizing veterinary certificates and resolving the technical issues hampering cross-border commerce also deserve our commendation, as does the signing by representatives of the Serbian armed forces and the Kosovo Force of an agreement on the complete lifting of the air security zone. We strongly encourage both parties to continue along this path and to step up dialogue on the joint management of crossing points, and we urge stakeholders to make further advances towards peace and development, including by promoting the implementation ofthe agreements reached on 25 August 2015 in Northern Kosovo.”

  9. “In that respect, my delegation calls on both parties to pursue dialogue at the highest level under the auspices of the European Union and to encourage the relevant partners and countries and partners to continue to use their influence to support the negotiations. We believe that now that the electoral process has come to a conclusion, the time is ripe to breathe new life into the discussions between Belgrade and Pristina in order to definitively turn a page in the history of both countries. That said, I am pleased to be able to welcome the two agreements signed by the Government of Kosovo in August 2015, one with Serbia, on the establishment of the Association/Community of Serb majority municipalities in Kosovo, and a second agreement, with Montenegro, on the demarcation of the border between the two countries.”

  10. “Thaci every success in his new office and to pay tribute to his predecessor, Ms. Atifete Jahjaga, for her leadership and her efforts to promote peace and development. Senegal welcomes the ongoing dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade, as demonstrated by the meeting that has just taken place in Brussels between the two countries. More specifically, my country would like to welcome the restated commitment of the new President and Prime Minister to the process of the normalization of the relationship between Belgrade and Pristina that has been undertaken under the auspices of the European Union, and to the comprehensive implementation of previously reached agreements, particularly concerning the creation of the Association/ Community of Serb majority municipalities in Kosovo.”

  11. “Mr. Barro (Senegal) (spoke in French): Senegal wishes to congratulate Mr. Zahir Tanin, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), for the high quality of the report that has just been presented to us (S/2016/407). We also welcome the presence among us of Mr. Ivica Dacic, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, and that of Ms. Vlora Citaku of Kosovo. My delegation welcomes the fact that the situation in Kosovo has remained stable overall despite the tense atmosphere, as described by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in his report, that surrounded the appointment of the new President, Mr. Hashim Thaci. We would like to take this opportunity to wish Mr.”

  12. “Jamal Benomar to maintain and strengthen its interaction with the regional mediation and the African Union to create conditions conducive to a cessation of violence, the protection of civilians and the effective launch of an inclusive dialogue. Finally, it seems to us to be of primary importance to recall the necessity to configure the United Nations presence in Burundi in a way to meet all the challenges of the situation, including a gradual approach mindful of the momentum behind the action of regional and continental actors.”

  13. “With respect to those initiatives, my delegation would especially like to underscore that the current resolution is intended to serve as a formal framework for bringing into harmony all of the international community's efforts. It is therefore important to take note of the resolution's mention of the main results achieved by the high-level delegation of the African Union and the new momentum generated by the strengthening of regional mediation undertaken by Ugandan President assisted in this since the most recent summit of the East African Community by the former President of Tanzania, Mr. Benjamin Mkapa. In our eyes, the current resolution could also serve as a tool to enable the Secretariat's team led by Mr.”

  14. “The delegation of Senegal, in taking part in the negotiations on the text of the resolution we have just adopted (resolution 2279 (2016)), has striven to forge, alongside other members of the Council, the consensus that was so evident here today, because in our eyes it is of primary importance that we show a united cohesive front in tackling the situation in Burundi. It therefore behoves me to pay tribute to the spirit of cooperation and mutual understanding that prevailed and enabled us to achieve this conclusion to a process that was launched a few weeks ago, following the visit of the Council to Burundi. The Secretary-General, as well as a high-level delegation of the African Union composed of five Heads of State and Government, then also visited Bujumbura.”

  15. “Mr. Barro (Senegal) (spoke in French): As this is the first statement we are making under your leadership, Mr. President, the delegation of Senegal would like to warmly congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency and wish you every possible success in the coming month. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the delegation of Angola for the way in which it conducted the business of the Security Council during the month of March. Today's vote follows a series of initiatives undertaken within the framework of the United Nations since the beginning of the year and clearly demonstrates the interest that we have taken in the situation in Burundi.”
