1. “We encourage the authorities to promote substantive actions that prohibit it and to independently investigate and bring to justice those responsible. We applaud the development of the second phase of the 2019-2022 National Action Plan on Resolution 1325 (2000): Women, peace and security and eagerly await its early completion. We urge the Government and the Taliban to integrate the meaningful participation of Afghan women into the dialogue for peace. Afghanistan is at a turning point with its elections and peace negotiations. All efforts to enable the Afghan people to escape instability and violence must be exhausted. It is our duty to help them in a process that must be Afghan-owned and Afghan-led, with the participation of all actors in society, in particular women and young people.”

2. “In addition, the Informal Expert Group on Women, Peace and Security recently met to discuss the situation of women, together with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan and the United Nations country team, which allowed us to reaffirm that it is vital to guarantee women's participation in the September elections and at the negotiating table to address the future of the country. We highlight the resilience of Afghan women, who, even in a hostile environment plagued by inequality, have advanced and overcome significant obstacles. We believe that it is urgent to put an end to sexual and gender-based violence in Afghanistan, as it affects the dignity, health and well-being of Afghan women.”

3. “Mr. Beras Hernandez (Dominican Republic) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, we extend our condolences to the people of Tunisia following the death of their President. We would also like to extend our sympathy to the Afghan family following the recent attacks in Kabul. I thank Ms. Mohammed, Ms. DiCarlo and Ms. Afghani for their briefings. In a timely and hopeful rapprochement exercise, Afghan and Taliban political leaders met in Qatar a few days ago and called for a reduction in violence. We welcome that peace initiative by international actors. We are encouraged by the positive feedback from Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo about her visit to Afghanistan. The fact that she has seen progress in the level of women's participation and leadership they have assumed in decision-making processes is a source of satisfaction.”
