  1. “We emphasize that Kuwait is eager to see enhanced security, stability and prosperity in the Arab Maghreb. We want to reiterate Kuwait's position in support of the Moroccan initiative for autonomy for Western Sahara, which represents a constructive choice aimed at reaching a solution acceptable to all parties, and we once again affirm the importance of respecting Morocco's sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity.”

  2. “We also stress the importance of MINURSO's role and of ensuring that it can fully implement its mandate. We want to express our thanks and appreciation to Mr. Horst Kohler, the previous Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General, for his good offices, which have helped to move the political process forward and to create momentum that has given us renewed hope that a realistic and practical political solution based on consensus can be achieved. We hope that his successor will follow the same path. We look forward to a resumption of the round-table meetings with the participation of all parties, without preconditions and in good faith, while ensuring that the frequency of meetings is maintained and that trust and a convergence of views are promoted.”

  3. “Mr. Bourisly (Kuwait) (spoke in Arabic): Kuwait voted in favour of resolution 2494 (2019), which extends the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) until 31 October 2020, because we believe in the Mission's positive role. We would like to have seen it adopted unanimously. However, we thank the delegation of the United States, as the penholder, for its work and are pleased that the Mission's mandate has been extended for a year, something that we have repeatedly called for. Now the new mandate has enough time to enable progress to be made on the political process. The State of Kuwait supports the relevant Security Council resolutions and the efforts of the Secretary-General with a view to reaching a solution that is acceptable to all parties.”

  4. “In conclusion, the reforms undertaken by the Secretariat, including of the peace and security pillar, will undoubtedly make police action on the ground more consistent in all peacekeeping operations, within a context of unified leadership based first and foremost on Security Council resolutions and the Declaration of Shared Commitments on United Nations Peacekeeping Operations. We also look forward to the forthcoming report of the Secretary-General on police activities, and we once again thank you, Mr. President, and the delegation of China for highlighting the importance of peacekeeping during your presidency of the Council.”

  5. “The police should help to address such challenges while ensuring respect for State sovereignty and commitment to the Security Council's mandates. Thirdly, with regard to peacebuilding, the continued presence on the ground of United Nations Police, as opposed to other uniformed personnel, makes them responsible for ensuring a smooth transition from peacekeeping to peacebuilding and for cooperating with local and international organizations and partners to implement exit strategies for peacekeeping operations, based on successful political solutions and integrated national responsibility, in which all elements of society have a key role in ensuring lasting peace and empowering women to be peacemakers.”

  6. “In that regard, we want to emphasize the importance of adequate training for United Nations police officers, including in terms of linguistic skills, compliance with the zero-tolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse, the handling of cases of gender- based violence in conflict and the protection of children. Secondly, with regard to the rule of law, the police also have a role to play in strengthening legal institutions in host countries, in security-sector reform and capacity-building of institutions for consolidating the rule of law and preserving stability, as well as in ensuring that host countries have the capacity to address the challenges that they face, including organized crime and the various rogue groups that operate outside the law.”

  7. “They communicate with communities with a view to strengthening and promoting political settlements, and their work is first and foremost people-centred and designed not to undermine States' primary responsibility to protect their citizens. Where the presence of uniformed personnel is concerned, the United Nations Police spend the longest periods of time on the ground, and their work sometimes includes deployment to special political missions. Their presence, whether as individual officers or within formed police units, makes a significant contribution to building trust among civilians and preventing relapses into conflict.”

  8. “Mr. Bourisly (Kuwait) (spoke in Arabic): I would like to thank our briefers, Mr. Alexander Zouev, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions, the Police Commissioners of the Missions in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Haiti, and Ms. Reitano, of the Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime. Today I would like to address three topics, the protection of civilians, the rule of law and peacebuilding. First, with respect to the protection of civilians, the work of United Nations Police is an essential pillar in the implementation of peacekeeping mandates. Most peacekeepers, including police, work in missions in order to protect civilians where there is a mandate to do so.”
