  1. “In that regard, we stress the need to maintain UNISFA's presence in the Abyei Area, adapt its mandates to the situation on the ground and create the necessary space for reaching a viable political solution to the conflict.”

  2. “We appreciate the efforts of humanitarian personnel in addressing the humanitarian situation in Abyei by providing food assistance, health services and through community livelihood activities and capacity-building. We encourage the international community to continue to provide the necessary resources for development projects and the establishment of basic services. We are confident that, despite the limited progress on issues related to border demarcation, the Governments of the Sudan and South Sudan will capitalize on recent developments in the region to move forward with concrete measures leading to the resolution of the issue of the status of Abyei and the establishment of the shared border. Lastly, we believe that it is ofthe utmost importance that the Security Council continue to support the parties.”

  3. “We welcome the initiative of the United Nations joint programme initiative for Abyei by the country teams in the Sudan and South Sudan, which is aimed at strengthening local institutional capacity and the rule of law, fostering peacebuilding and development, promoting gender equality and combating sexual violence, among other things. We reiterate the urgent need for the establishment of the Abyei police service. We call on the Government of South Sudan to continue joint planning for its establishment and on the Government of the Sudan to expedite the issuance of visas to UNISFA police personnel so that the rule oflaw can be fully established in Abyei.”

  4. “We underscore the critical role of the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism in regulating relations between the two countries. We also acknowledge the stabilizing role of the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) in Abyei and along the border between the Sudan and South Sudan. At the same time, we stress that the primary responsibility for resolving outstanding issues on the shared border lies with the Governments of the Sudan and South Sudan. We note with concern that women continue to be underrepresented at all levels of decision-making in Abyei. In that regard, we appreciate UNISFA's mediation efforts with traditional and administrative leaders, with a view to protecting women's rights and fostering their participation in decision-making.”

  5. “Ms. Bustamante (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We are grateful for the holding of this meeting and thank Mr. Jean-Pierre Lacroix and Mr. Parfait Onanga- Anyanga for their important briefings today. We highlight the overtures made by the new authorities of Khartoum and their counterparts in Yuba. The reciprocal visits by senior officials ofboth countries in August and September give us reason to be hopeful of their determination to improve bilateral relations. We welcome the meeting of the Joint Political and Security Mechanism held on 2 October and hope that its subsequent meetings will report on important progress, such as the withdrawal of forces from the Safe Demilitarized Border Zone and the establishment of border crossing corridors.”

  6. “Moreover, we welcome the positive impact that the peace Agreement has had on the return of displaced persons. We stress, however, the importance of ensuring that such return and resettlement takes place gradually, in a voluntary, dignified and safe manner and on the basis of informed decisions, while also taking into account the dynamics of each civilian protection centre and complying with international human rights norms and standards. I will conclude by highlighting the work and efforts of IGAD and the African Union. We reiterate the importance of maintaining the unity of the Council in the political support and follow-up required to make further progress in the South Sudan peace process, as well as the importance ofworking in close coordination with the African Union and IGAD.”

  7. “We believe that more effective and preventive support could be provided by the Mission through a close relationship with women-led non-governmental organizations working on the ground with communities. Today, on International Women's Day, we reiterate our desire that women, rather becoming victims, become strong leaders in the process of implementing the peace Agreement. The United Nations, together with the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the guarantors of the Agreement, must ensure the fulfilment of all the commitments of the Agreement, including the 35 per cent quota allocated to the representation of women at all levels and in all Government institutions in which political decisions are made.”

  8. “We must also strongly condemn the continuing violations of human rights, in particular the rampant sexual violence in South Sudan and especially against women and girls. We call on the Government and all parties to fulfil their commitments to punish those responsible for crimes of atrocity. The incidents documented in Bentiu a few months ago are a warning of the urgency of implementing transitional security arrangements as soon as possible. In that regard, we welcome the training provided by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan to senior commanders of the South Sudanese forces to raise awareness of conflict-related sexual violence, which we hope will be repeated on a regular basis.”

  9. “We regret that intercommunal violence and clashes between Government forces and factions that did not sign the Agreement continue to affect the civilian population. We reiterate that true peace in South Sudan will be possible only through political will and dialogue among all parties. We express our deep concern over the grave humanitarian situation. The 1.87 million internally displaced persons and 2.27 million displaced persons in neighbouring countries are proof of the magnitude of the situation. Added to that are the obstacles impeding the work of humanitarian workers and the Violence perpetrated against them and their property, which prevents aid from reaching the most vulnerable. We hope that the parties will be able to guarantee a safer environment.”

  10. “A few months ago, the Secretary-General called on the leaders of South Sudan to achieve two objectives - the establishment of transitional security arrangements and the formation of a revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity - as priorities in the period leading up to the transition. We express our deep concern that neither of those basic objectives have been met. We urge the parties to implement those commitments in a timely manner. There are still some key outstanding issues, such as the establishment of the Independent Boundary Commission, the adoption of a draft law on constitutional reform that would incorporate the Agreement into the Transitional Constitution and the adoption of the governance system for the transitional Government. Meanwhile, tensions continue in various parts of the country.”

  11. “Ms. Bustamante (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We thank you, Madam President, for convening this meeting and David Shearer and Angelina Jial for their important briefings. A few months from the end of the transition period, we are gratified to know that the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan remains in force and that political violence in that country has decreased. We recognize the expressions of mutual trust between the Government and the different opposition parties. The various meetings held in the territory of South Sudan are undoubtedly an important step in the peace process. We regret, however, that there has only been modest progress in its implementation. Concrete progress on substantive issues is needed to achieve sustainable peace in South Sudan.”
