“"The Security Council further reiterates that FDLR combatants and their dependents may still at any point and without any preconditions choose a peaceful path by entering into the existing disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and repatriation or resettlement programme, which has successfully repatriated a significant number, and continues to successfully repatriate, former FDLR to Rwanda. "The Security Council emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of the conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and the need for a comprehensive approach to restore peace and stability in the affected areas." This statement will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/ZOlS/l. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.”

“"The Security Council further stresses that ending the threat of the FDLR, including through robust military action by the FARDC and MONUSCO through its Force Intervention Brigade, in cooperation with the whole of MONUSCO as per paragraph 4 (b) of resolution 2147 (2014), is a critical and necessary component of civilian protection, and expresses its intention to take into account progress made in ending the threat of the FDLR in assessing next steps in the Great Lakes. "The Security Council reiterates its readiness to consider targeted sanctions against any individual or entity found to be supporting the FDLR.”

“"The Security Council reiterates its support for MONUSCO and calls on all parties, including the Force Intervention Brigade troop-contributing countries, to remain committed to the full and objective implementation of the mission's mandate, including military operations to neutralize the FDLR. The Security Council stresses that such operations must be done in strict compliance with international law, including international humanitarian law.”

“"The Security Council reiterates the need to put into sustained action the plans of the Forces armees de la Republique democratique du Congo (FARDC) and MONUSCO through its Force Intervention Brigade, in cooperation with the whole of MONUSCO as per paragraph 4 (b) of resolution 2147 (2014), to neutralize the FDLR by commencing military operations immediately. "To that end, the Security Council calls on the authorities of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and in particular President Kabila as Commander in Chief, to approve swiftly and implement fully the MONUSCO-FARDC Joint Directive. "The Security Council further notes the convening of a SADC/ICGLR summit scheduled for 15 and 16 January in Luanda, Angola.”

“"The Security Council notes the Democratic Republic of the Congo Government's 2 January statement, in which it stated that military action against the FDLR is now "inevitable", and that the region, represented by the ICGLR and SADC, has made clear its support for military action by the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), in the absence of the full demobilization of the FDLR, including its military leadership, with the objective of ending the threat posed by the group.”

“"The Security Council further recalls that the swift neutralization ofthe FDLR is a top priority in bringing stability to and protecting the civilians of the Democratic Republic ofthe Congo and the Great Lakes region, in line with the wider commitments made in the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the region.”

“"The Security Council notes that the 2 January deadline set by the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) has passed, and that the FDLR has not only failed to unconditionally and fully surrender and demobilize, but has also continued to recruit new fighters in their ranks. "The Security Council, while noting the surrender of an estimated 300 former rank-and- file members of the FDLR in 2014, consisting of mainly old and non-essential combatants, stresses that such surrenders alone are insufficient to end the threat posed by the group, and do not come close to representing the full demobilization of the FDLR as called for by the ICGLR, SADC and the Security Council.”

“After consultations among Council members, I have been authorized to make the following statement on their behalf. "The Security Council recalls its presidential statement of 5 November 2014 and reiterates its deep concern regarding the security and humanitarian crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo due to ongoing destabilizing activities of foreign and domestic armed groups, and stresses the importance of neutralizing all armed groups, including, among others, the Forces democratiques de liberation du Rwanda (FDLR).”

“The conflict in Gaza in July and August and the events of recent months in the West Bank and East Jerusalem have shown that the status quo is unsustainable. After 46 years of occupation, the Palestinian people hold fast to the hope of full sovereignty and independence. Chile supports those legitimate aspirations. We are aware that there are different visions in the Council, and that some delegations believe that the time for action is not ripe politically. It is such a complex matter that it will never be easy to determine when the right time has come to act. Chile, however, will continue to contribute to the process because we are convinced that the solution to the conflict requires the inclusive and realistic resolve of many actors who, directly or indirectly, can pave the way towards dialogue and peace.”

“Assuming its international responsibility, and consistent and conscious of its role in this organ, Chile voted in favour of draft resolution S/2014/916. We are not pleased with the exercise as it has unfolded, with scant space for negotiation and dialogue among Council members and the stakeholders. As we see it, negotiation is essential to achieving the necessary consensus that makes the collective action of the Council effective in its search for viable solutions. However, as we see it, we have given priority to the urgent need to address the situation on the ground and to the conviction that it is possible to achieve a political outcome allowing for renewed momentum in the negotiations.”

“Mr. Barros Melet (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Chile's position vis-a-vis the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, has been expressed by my country in this and other international forums, and is widely known. We support negotiations between the parties and a solution that would allow both States to live in peace and security, within safe and internationally recognized borders. Two decades into the peace process that was launched in Oslo, we believe that the time has come to implement the two- State solution. The Security Council has a role to play in that matter, and can contribute to the resumption of dialogue in the context of its responsibility in the maintenance of peace and security.”

“Those measures must put an end to the climate of impunity in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and allow for accountability. We urge the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to facilitate access on the part of the Special Rapporteur to their country in accordance with the terms of reference of the United Nations for such special procedures; that is, freedom of movement and interviews, with security arrangements made for the Special Rapporteur and for those whom he interviews. Given the gravity of the situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, we believe that this first meeting under a new item on the agenda constitutes a step that is headed in the right direction. This is an initiative that we supported at the meeting of the members of the Security Council under the Arria Formula in April.”

“It is of grave concern that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea continues to develop its nuclear programme and delivery systems, at a great price in humanitarian terms for its people, under the sanctions regime established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006). This strengthens our conviction that we need to adopt a broader approach that allows us to prevent a new conflict on the Korean peninsula, which would have regional and global consequences. It becomes clear that the approach we have taken so far is not adequate and that we should collectively exert more pressure. It is essential that appropriate measures be adopted to put an end to the serious human-rights violations noted in the reports of the Secretary-General, the Special Rapporteur and the commission of inquiry.”

“It is important to underscore the points of agreement of the reports of the commission of inquiry and the Special Rapporteur, as well as the resolutions of the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly, which point to the same conclusion - the human rights situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is dire. How did Pyongyang react to the debate on this topic? It dismissed it, alleging that it is a political conspiracy and international smear campaign. The Government even stated in writing, in a letter to the Secretary-General dated 24 November, that it may conduct a further nuclear test. This constitutes a clear threat to international peace and security.”

“Mr. Barros Melet (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank the Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Mr. Zerihoun, and the Assistant Secretary- General for Human Rights, Mr. Simonovie, for their briefings. We also thank the Chadian presidency for facilitating the inclusion of the situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on the agenda of the Council. As one of the countries that supported the holding of this meeting, Chile believes that today's discussion is timely and necessary. At the beginning of the year, the commission of inquiry established by the Human Rights Council issued its report (S/2014/276, annex), which confirmed the existence of the systematic, widespread and gross human rights violations in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which in many cases constitute crimes against humanity.”

“To conclude, while expressing our gratitude for the wishes for success offered by delegations in advance of our assumption of the presidency next month, we wish to acknowledge the contributions made from their diverse viewpoints of the non-permanent members whose terms in the Security Council are drawing to a close: Argentina, Australia, Luxembourg, the Republic of Korea and Rwanda. It has been an honour for Chile to work with them. We also take this opportunity to wish every success to the delegations of Spain, Venezuela, New Zealand, Malaysia and Angola, which will join the Council in 2015. We look forward to working constructively with all of them.”

“We hope that this organ will prove equal to the task of addressing the current challenges and that it will send a united message that addresses the root causes of the conflict and seeks a broad solution that incorporates the political, security and development aspects of the crisis and that implements the two-State solution, with Israel and Palestine living in peace and security within internationally recognized borders. To that end, we must make use of all existing channels, in particular the Quartet. Furthermore, we believe that with the steps it has taken to address the situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Council has assumed the responsibilities assigned to it under the Charter.”

“Its unanimous adoption is worthy of note because it represents the spirit of constructive work that should prevail in order for the Council to fulfil its responsibilities under the Charter of the United Nations. However, we know all too well that so long as there is no political solution to the conflict, there can be no end to this complex emergency. In that regard, we should not overlook the repeated message of the Secretary-General and other United Nations authorities, and in particular of the Argentine delegation - the flow of arms from abroad into the conflict zone must stop. Regarding the issues on which the Council should conduct attentive follow-up in the future, we note first the situation in the Middle East, including the peace process.”

“On that occasion, the Council unanimously adopted resolution 2195 (2014) on the link between terrorism and cross-border time, in support of the strategy for addressing that matter undertaken by this organ throughout 2014. With regard to the Middle East, the briefing given by the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator (see S/PV.7342) focused again on the protection of civilians, painting a landscape of death and despair. We welcome the Council's unanimous adoption of resolution 2191 (2014), extending the mandate of resolution 2165 (2014) for 12 months, The resolution represents relief for millions of Syrians living in remote areas who will now receive humanitarian assistance.”

We would also like to highlight the unique perspective that the Chadian presidency has brought to the issue of terrorism in its open debate on the theme "Threats to international peace and security: terrorism and cross-border crime" (see S/PV.7351). The degree of interest in the topic was clear from the participation of authorities from our capitals to attend the meeting.”

“An analysis of the situation in Liberia reveals yet again the importance of better evaluating and analysing the process for the drawdown and withdrawal of operations and missions established by the Council so that development and inclusion indices may be taken into account, thereby providing a more solid foundation for a smooth transition from the United Nations country teams and other development agencies. The same applies to many other situations on the agenda of the Security Council. Chile believes that the role the Security Council assigns to international justice mechanisms is fundamental.”

“Considering the insecurity prevailing in the countries of Central Africa, many of which are facing near-term elections, we also welcome the 10 December consultations on the United Nations Regional Office for Central Africa and the Lord's Resistance Army. Furthermore, with respect to Liberia, the Council has ended the year by addressing that situation in a timely manner through resolutions 2188 (2014) and 2190 (2014), in a specific case in which the Ebola crisis revealed yet again the fragility of the security and health sectors in Liberia.”

“Such visits should become a regular practice, as should the recommendations and proposals emerging therefrom to improve cooperation between the Council and the country subject to sanctions. It should be emphasized that sanctions regimes are the exception and represent a means rather than an end in itself. We welcome the j oint closed consultations involving countries and the sanctions committees on their behalf, such as those held on 9 December with respect to the Central African Republic. That new format allows us to take up related agenda items and thereby avoid unnecessary duplication and repetition.”

“Mr. Barros Melet (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank and commend you, Mr. President, and your team for guiding the work of the Security Council in December. We welcome the convening of this open wrap-up meeting, which we believe to be a vital tool of the Council that must be maintained in future. I shall begin by referring to the sanctions committees and reiterating what we have pointed out on previous occasions concerning the need to reduce the gap between the work carried out in New York and situations on the ground. In that regard, on 5 December an informal meeting of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1572 (2004) concerning Cote d'Ivoire was held, allowing exchanges of opinions on the Chair's recommendations regarding the visit made to the country in November.”

We believe that, despite the challenges, it is essential to maintain the positive atmosphere that has prevailed in the negotiations. The Council must continue to make a constructive contribution in this case, with the understanding that it is in the common interest that an agreement be achieved to restore international trust. Lastly, we encourage Iran to improve its cooperation with the Committee and the Board of Governors of the IAEA.”

We also want to thank the Panel of Experts and its coordinator for introducing the midterm report made to the 1737 Committee on Monday, 8 December. With respect to the negotiations between the P5+1 and Iran, we appreciate the commitment achieved by the parties to renew the Joint Plan of Action until the end of June 2015, which will allow the dialogue to continue in the search for a comprehensive settlement.”

“Moreover, we share the concerns expressed by other members of the Council regarding the surge in opium production and hope that that trend will be reversed. We therefore support the proposals put forward by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. I conclude by expressing Chile's support for the efforts of the Afghan people to build a democratic State with full respect for the rule of law and the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. We also reiterate our call for the international community to continue to support the Afghan people by strengthening their capacities to address the security challenges their country faces. We believe that is equally essential for the development of Afghanistan and that of the region.”

“We recall that it is the fundamental responsibility of the new authorities to ensure the due protection of civilians and to prevent anti-Government forces from undermining confidence in the new Government before it has fully established itself. In that regard, we commend the increase in the capacities and competencies of the Afghan national defence and security forces in preparation for the conclusion of the mandate of the International Security Assistance Force at the end of 2014. We hope that the Afghan authorities will be able to effectively take over responsibility for their country's security. We also welcome the agreement between NATO and Afghanistan to establish a post-2014 Resolute Support Mission in order to train, advise and assist the Afghan national defence and security forces.”

“We stress the importance of continuing to promote dialogue, inclusion and consensus among Afghans, an essential factor when it comes to building a country capable of standing on its own - a country with solid democratic institutions and subject to the rule of law. We are concerned by the ongoing impact of the country's security situation on the Afghan civilian population, in particular on women and children. According to the Secretary-General's report, this has been one of the most violent years since 2001, and we are disturbed by the high number of civilian casualties and displaced communities. Chile reiterates the need to strengthen the protection of civilians and condemns the use of force against unarmed civilians, by both pro- and anti-governmental elements.”

We wish to remind the new Government that in order to effectively address the political, economic and security challenges set out in the Secretary-General's latest report (S/2014/876), it will be necessary to name and confirm other high officials of the Government. We hope that that part of the process will be resolved swiftly and without difficulties. Chile supports a process of national reconciliation guided and led by all Afghans. In that context, we hope that the new Government will continue to implement resolution 1325 (2000) at all levels in order to guarantee the participation of women in decision-making. We also hope that women's needs will be duly addressed.”

“The role of preventive diplomacy will be vital during the so-called Madiba Nelson Mandela Decade of Reconciliation in Africa, which can only be achieved by way of truth, justice and inclusive development. We believe that this issue requires ongoing attention at different levels of the system, which should be based on appropriate mechanisms to facilitate coordination and complementarity between the regional and universal spheres. To conclude my statement, my country would like to acknowledge the efforts and commitment on behalf of the African Union in seeking solutions to the challenges facing the continent and the important contributions to peacekeeping operations on their own continent and elsewhere in the world. As the international community, we must value and support these efforts.”

“Such deployment will require well-equipped contingents, including procedures defined on the ground concerning standardized training of the contingents, with a particular emphasis on human rights. Likewise, it is necessary to simplify and standardize the forms of institutional collaboration among the United Nations system and regional bodies. The development of effective partnerships among the Security Council and regional and subregional organizations is crucial, particularly in the relationship between the Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council. Coordinated efforts on the ground are important in tackling the various challenges when such efforts involve other multilateral and bilateral actors on the ground.”

“In that respect, we encourage the establishment of regional agreements with a primarily holistic approach and the participation of local stakeholders in defining problems with interaction between regional organizations or the United Nations system, exchanging good practices and lessons learned in comparable situations and where there is economic independence for implementation. We must stimulate predictability, sustainability and flexibility in the funding of peacekeeping operations carried out by the African Union under a United Nations mandate to facilitate rapid and effective responses to conflict. That is crucial for comprehensive rehabilitation processes that allow a swift return to political and institutional normalcy and the protection of the population, particularly women and children.”

“Moreover, regional organizations can facilitate ways of taking action in conflict situations, incorporate the vision of local actors which provide differing views on the analysis of the origin, form and resolution of conflicts and promote local ownership on the part of missions and in implementing solutions to the conflict. We value agreements we have seen involving the African Union and other regional and subregional organizations to promote peace and security. We encourage such possible interactions among those organizations and the United Nations system.”

We believe that the active participation of regional organizations and of the countries affected by conflict is crucial to resolving the conflicts, because they have a particular knowledge of the local reality, the contexts and the conditions that generate those cycles of instability and obstacles affecting peace and security.”

“We thank the Minister for Foreign Affairs and African Integration of Chad, Mr. Moussa Faki Mahamat, for convening this important open debate under the Chadian presidency. We welcome and thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the African Union High Representative for Mali and the Sahel, President Pierre Buyoya. At the outset, we wish to align with other States in rejecting the barbaric attack on the school in the city of Peshawar. We express our sincere condolences to the families of those affected and to the Government of Pakistan. For Chile collective action is crucial in tackling traditional and emerging threats and is enhanced by the involvement of regional and subregional organizations. It is very difficult to implement universal measures without a regional contribution.”

It is possible to improve cooperaton between the Security Council and the Court.

The Prosecutor's report also takes note of the summmary of the report of the review group concerning allegations of manipulation in the presentation of reports on Darfur. We highlight the response of the Secretary-General in addressing the Prosecutor's request contained in her report of June 2014. We hope that the implementation of the measures proposed by the group, along with its other recommendations, will help to prevent the repetition of such incidents. The Council has a special commitment to the situation in Darfur and to the International Criminal Court.”

“In the firm belief that the International Criminal Court represents a major step forward in the fight against impunity, we wish to reiterate our support for the Court and for the work of its Prosecutor. We urge the Prosecutor to continue to monitor the various crimes allegedly committed in Darfur as detailed in the report, which would apparently include, inter alia, aerial bombardments of civilians; sexual and gender-based crimes; and crimes against human rights defenders, members of civil society and community leaders. My country is particularly concerned by the repeated crimes of sexual violence and the impunity with which they are treated.”

“Mr. Barros Melet (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We welcome the convening of this debate and the presence of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Ms. Fatou Bensouda, as well as her presentation of the twentieth briefing on the situation in Darfur pursuant to resolution 1593 (2005). We note with concern that the humanitarian and security situation in Darfur has deteriorated with respect to the information contained in the previous report (see S/PV.7199). We are alarmed by the fact that, to date in 2014, the number of internally displaced persons has surpassed 400,000, which is in addition to the more than w million internally displaced since the outbreak of the conflict in Darfur.”
