“We are convinced that today's meeting has helped to demonstrate the potential of and genuine interest in these regional organizations in enhancing mutually beneficial cooperation with the United Nations on a whole range of issues and different avenues of work. I now resume my function as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Kazakhstan.”

“In conclusion, I wish to note that developing a collective approach in order to effectively overcome current threats and challenges requires consistent efforts to enhance the cooperation efforts of the United Nations with regional and subregional organizations, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, and in particular Chapter VIII. The United Nations and regional organizations have to complement one another by exploiting their objective comparative advantages. CSTO, SCO and CIS are making a considerable contribution to combating terrorism, the drugs trade, organized crime and other threats to international peace and security. All three organizations are developing practical cooperation with the United Nations, including with the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia.”

“The CIS Heads of State met for a summit in September in Bishkek, where they adopted an anniversary statement announcing a joint commitment to strengthening the Commonwealth, using its integration capacity and developing greater partnership among member States. We hope that this will give a political impulse to the development oftrade and investment cooperation and stimulate cooperation in the areas of culture, education, science and sports. We believe that CIS can effectively promote the interests of the United Nations, including through the interconnected nature of security and development.”

“The start of negotiations on association of the Eurasian Economic Union and the China Silk Road Economic Belt is a promising prospect in that regard. We are convinced that that involvement in this integration process by all SCO and CIS members will be a prologue to establishing a broad Eurasian area. We are pleased with the cooperation dynamics in the areas of tourism, education and youth. In our relatively new geopolitical region, CIS is a veteran organization that has helped us to forge friendly relations between new sovereign States on the basis of trust, equal rights and respect for each other's interests. Despite well-known problems, the overall positive role played by CIS is obvious.”

“We give priority to implementing the SCO cooperation programme on combating terrorism, separatism and extremism for the period 2016-2018. Work is under way on a draft SCO convention to combat extremism. The joint counter-terrorism efforts of the SCO Peace Mission military exercise has proven to be very productive. However, our cooperation with SCO is not limited just to that. In the Ufa SCO Development Strategy, which was established under Russia's presidency, we planned more than 70 events in the areas of politics, economics and culture. One important area of SCO work is fostering close economic cooperation. We must further eliminate trade barriers and limits to the movement of capital and labour, deepen production and technological cooperation, and develop production chains and joint transport infrastructure.”

“We hope that, once the issue of Iran's nuclear programme has been fully settled and the United Nations sanctions have been lifted, no obstacles to considering its application for full membership will remain. Ensuring the security of the SCO area is the main focus of its work, and there are many challenges similar to those being faced by CSTO, such as terrorism, extremism, organized crime, drugs trafficking and threats from Afghanistan. We need to further enhance the capacity of regional anti-terrorist structures, improve coordination among military forces within the United Nations and other international organizations, update our anti-terrorist strategy and programme for its implementation, and improve the legal basis for cooperation in the area ofinformation security.”

“The United Nations and CSTO have a major mutual interest in enhancing their practical cooperation, particularly in areas such as peacekeeping and combating organized crime and terrorism. We believe it is important to continue working on developing CSTO peacekeeping capacity with the goal of sending contingents to United Nations peacekeeping missions in the near future. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization has increased its membership and its regional scope. Over its 15-year history, it has strengthened its involvement in regional processes. The process of making India and Pakistan full-fledged members is in its final stages. We hope that their soon-to-be participation in SCO will enrich its cooperation efforts. Since 2005, Iran has participated in the work of the Organization as an observer.”

“If we are to end such threats, we must act decisively on the security front. The CSTO countries will continue to strengthen and enhance their cooperation with armed groups and security forces. The Kobalt-2016 joint rapid-response team training session held in May demonstrated the excellent potential of the special forces of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan for combating terrorism and drug trafficking. The practical expertise of CSTO is in demand, thanks to its more than 10 years of experience in handling the Kanal anti-drug operation Canal, aimed at cutting drug-smuggling routes. During that time, seizures of drug indicators have gone up tenfold, to 20 tons.”

“The jihadists entering the region establish contacts with criminal elements and drug dealers and build cells for future terrorist activities. The problem is exacerbated because the so-called Islamic State has penetrated into Afghanistan and is expanding its platform there. In that regard, we have seen that ISIL has recently been increasingly involved in northern Afghanistan, and there is a growing threat from elements of the group entering neighbouring States. Drugs in Afghanistan present a serious problem. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime recently revealed horrendous data on a 43 per cent increase in opiate production there. Central Asia has every reason to talk about Afghan heroin aggression. Afghan drug trafficking is a significant source of funding for the extremist underground network in Central Asia.”

“However, both for us and for our CSTO partners, the threats to regional security that result from external factors are extremely immediate. We are dealing directly with terrorist attacks and the ideological grooming of some of our citizens, who then unfortunately end up in the ranks of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). And, needless to say, we are also concerned about their possible return to Russia or to our neighbours and partners. We are equally concerned about the chronic instability in Afghanistan and the presence there of terrorist hotbeds. The tracks of Afghans are clearly visible in the subversive activities of organizations in Central Asia such as the Uzbekistan Islamic Movement and Hizb ut-Tahrir.”

“The Collective Security Treaty Organization was created in order to respond to our most urgent military and political challenges, including the upsurge in terrorist and extremist groups, and its potential for destabilizing the situation on the borders of CSTO member States. However, it is important to emphasize that membership in CSTO is completely voluntary and our joint efforts are not aimed at just anyone. We are ready to engage in constructive cooperation with every member of the international community, and that approach is enshrined in the organization's documents. Terrorist threats are one of CSTO's most difficult problems. The overall situation in the Central Asian republics remains calm, partly thanks to the major efforts of the leaders of those countries.”

“Let me be frank. There is another problem. Under various pretexts, some of our partners, including some within the Security Council, have been attempting to artificially marginalize those organizations, seeing them as geopolitical competitors. For example, one of the statements made environment arlier today referred to certain criteria that such regional organizations should meet. It is quite clear that if such criteria were to be applied to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, for example, it would have to be rapidly disbanded. We should put an end to this kind of ideological approach, which damages our ability to cooperate in finding answers to regional and global challenges. I will begin with the use of so-called tough security.”

“Secondly, we believe that the considerable potential for cooperation between the United Nations and CSTO, SCO and CIS has not yet been fully exploited. Thirdly, we have often encountered situations in which members of the international community are not fully informed about their activities. On the one hand, that is to some extent a positive sign, since it speaks to their self-sufficiency and effectiveness in resolving the challenges they face. On the other, that lack of information can lead to underestimating the role that CSTO, SCO and CIS play in maintaining peace and security in their regions, something to be avoided. In that regard, we hope that today's briefings and discussion will enable the international community to understand some of the basic problems that our region has and how CSTO, SCO and CIS are working to solve them.”

“I shall now make a statement in my national capacity as representative of the Russian Federation. We thank the Secretary-General for his statement on a subject that is so important to our region, and the leaders of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) for their detailed briefings. Today's meeting is a central one for the Russian Federation's presidency of the Security Council for several reasons. First, the organizations under discussion are truly Vital to the regions in which they operate. There are pressing security and other issues on their agendas, and one of Russia's foreign policy priorities is cooperating with them.”

“To be frank, on the basis of our observations at least, that term is being used increasingly infrequently. To put it mildly, its outcome is assuredly ambiguous. The chaos in Libya continues to spread well beyond its borders, and the conditions for a positive turning point have, unfortunately, been lacking to date. The crisis in Mali was a serious challenge to the States of the region. We cannot speak of any sustained positive trends in that country. The whole broad perimeter of the Sahel is turbulent as well. However, and in conclusion, I wish to voice the hope that a constructive pooling of efforts at all levels under the aegis of the United Nations integrated strategy for the Sahel will contribute to improving the situation and the Tthccurily Council haslhus concludcdlhcprcscnt quality oflife of the people ofthe region.”

“In that respect, I would be remiss not to recall the particular role played by the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General and the United Nations Office for West Africa. We are seriously alarmed by the growing threat that the region may become a bridgehead for well-organized terrorism and criminal structures. In a vast, virtually lawless area where illicit weapons and drugs abound, one cannot but be concerned by the radical views taking root among the young. In such circumstances, it is especially important to agree on common approaches to combating transnational crime and to creating an appropriate legal framework. It is quite clear that a powerful impetus to the growth of terrorist-related threats in the Sahel was provided by the turbulent and chaotic processes of the so-called Arab Spring.”

“However, positive administrative steps should in no case act as a substitute for real work. Regional initiatives should be backed by a broad spectrum of measures to be taken by the international community. The United Nations, unique in terms of its scope, is indispensable. We are pleased with the interest shown by the representatives of widely differing States and regions, including, of course, Russia. Global and regional financial institutions will be needed, too. There is no question, however, that the leading role in implementing the strategy should fall to the States of the Sahel themselves. I should like to underscore one further essential issue. We must prevent any fragmentation of our efforts and the resulting dilution of resources. Coordination at all levels will be an important factor in the strategy's success.”

“In that respect, in our view, the load-bearing architecture of the integrated strategy, composed ofthree key pillars, has been well crafted, but more time will be needed to fine-tune this mechanism so that it can operate at full speed. Significant steps have already been taken towards institutionalizing the formation of the implementation mechanism for the strategy and filling it with concrete content. We would refer first and foremost to the creation of the coordination platform for the Sahel at the ministerial level, whose role will be to become one of the strategy's pivotal components. We welcome the work of the Group of Five for the Sahel. Those measures are important in bringing the States of the region together around a single platform and the elaboration of a common vision on how to eliminate the root causes of instability.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the Russian Federation. We support the considerations raised in the briefing made by Ms. Sellassie regarding the situation in the Sahelo-Saharan region. The Russian Federation position regarding the problems facing the region is consistent and unchanged - they require a comprehensive solution and the sustained attention of the international community. We can see in the region the clear link between the need to establish a sound system of State governance, the search for appropriate responses to security- related challenges, and the provision of sustainable development, in parallel with overcoming significant humanitarian problems.”

“Local authorities are inciting the populace to protest with a demand to confiscate the land of the Monastery. The decisions of the Kosovo courts have been ignored, as have the calls of the international community. We are concerned about statements regarding this year's conversion of the Kosovo security force into a full-fledged armed force. The Kosovo security force consists essentially of Albanians, the majority of whom were earlier militia members. We view that as a potential threat to regional stability. One must also highlight the heightened Albanian rhetoric. Statements have not gone unnoticed in terms of the intention of Pristina to give patronage to ethnic Albanians regardless of their country ofresidence.”

“Any change in its function or format must be approved by the Council. We hope that NATO will recognize the possible consequences of the transfer of KFOR's responsibility for the safety and security of Orthodox monasteries in the southern part of the province to Pristina's law enforcement entities, and therefore carry out effective measures aimed at avoiding sectarian or inter-ethnic clashes. We have repeatedly discussed the distressing situation in the provinces home to Serbian Orthodox churches, which have been the subject of vandalism and attacks on their clergy. That problem calls for focused attention. The situation is totally intolerable with respect to the Visoki Decani Monastery, which UNESCO has designated as a World Heritage Site.”

“Without genuine steps carried out in the areas of inter-ethnic dialogue and confidence-building, the prospects for a multiethnic society in Kosovo are unrealistic. We draw attention to the fact that, in the report, attention is focused on the pace of the investigation of the incidents reported by Council of Europe Special Rapporteur Dick Marty on the illegal trafficking of human organs in Kosovo. However, that is not enough. We are looking forward to results. All perpetrators of such acts must be brought to justice. If EULEX does not have sufficient capacity to ensure an effective, objective and impartial investigation, we will not remove that issue from the United Nations agenda. Under the mandate of the Security Council, KF OR bears core responsibility for the maintenance of security in the province.”

“There is a conscious effort to create conditions aimed at pushing the remaining Serbian population out of Serbia, under the threat of reprisals, which is a kind of ethnic cleansing by peaceful means, with all the ensuing consequences. We hope that in future reports on UNMIK and on the situation in the province there will be an objective picture drawn of the situation of the Serbian population in Kosovo. We call on Mr. Zarif to provide a fundamental assessment of the situation and to take an active stance in accordance with his mandate. The Russian Federation emphasizes that the decisions taken with respect to northern Kosovo must take into account the view of the local Serbian population. Ifthat is not done, compromises will remain only on paper.”

“In that context, the incident that stands out is the memorial to victims of the Second World War, which was blown up in the town of Vitina. We view that as an act of desecration against the memory of the victims of fascism and those who fought against it. Over and over again, we have drawn attention to the fact that progress on the issue of the resettlement of Serbian refugees and internally displaced persons is essentially nonexistent. An analysis of that situation demonstrates that the Kosovar Albanian authorities systematically impede their return to the province, the restoration of their property rights and compliance with internationally recognized fundamental human rights and freedoms.”

“The detention and beating of Serbian believers who arrived at Gracanica - in addition, reports have said that took place in the courthouse building in Pristina - have again demonstrated the inability of international entities, above all the Kosovo Force (KFOR) and the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX), to appropriately withstand acts of provocation by the Kosovar Albanian authorities. Two months have already passed. What are the results of the investigation? Was it neutral and impartial? We are concerned about the widespread attacks against Serbian cemeteries, which have resulted in the desecration of more than 150 grave sites in more than a dozen municipalities. There was also an arson attack against a church in the town of Obilie, as well as an attempt to burn down a Serbian city hall building in Mitrovica.”

“That decision has raised additional tensions in northern Mitrovica. There has been a series of inter-ethnic and sectarian incidents in Kosovo. Unfortunately, the most flagrant of those do not receive due consideration or analysis in the Secretary-General's report. The wave of anti-Serbian acts that swept through Kosovo in January recalls the tragic events of March 2004. We are particularly concerned about the events that took place at the time of the Serbian Orthodox Christmas in Kosovo.”

“We anticipate that the dialogue to be held at the highest political level between Belgrade and Pristina, under European Union mediation, will contribute to a long- term settlement of the issue of Kosovo. At the same time, the Security Council still has the final word. The United Nations Mission is the core international civilian presence in Kosovo and must carry out its functions in full, in accordance with its mandate under the Security Council. To that end, it must be endowed with all the necessary capacities and resources. We believe that Kosovo made a serious mistake in its decision to establish a new administrative office in northern Mitrovica, which is financed, inter alia, with resources assigned earlier to UNMIK administrative tasks in the northern part of the city.”

“Currently, without them, security, stability and sustainable development cannot be achieved, and therefore no changes can be made to the configuration of the Mission. The current situation shows that the Haitian Government and the international community - in particular the United Nations - face a host of complex challenges in resolving crucial peacebuilding issues for the country, such as achieving national consensus and consolidating society, including on the humanitarian and economic fronts. The Haitian Government must play a leading role. It bears responsibility for the effective implementation of international assistance and must play an active role in coordinating that assistance.

“With respect to the consolidation plan for the Mission, we feel that the basic criteria for adjustments to the mandate and configuration must continue to be based on the actual security situation. That is directly tied with the level of readiness of the National Police. On the whole, we support the Secretary-General's proposal to focus the mandate of the Mission on a number of objectives that could be successfully attained over the course of four or five years. However, we must recognize that the announced goals and measurement indicators are ambitious and require future discussion among Council members. We agree that the internal political mechanisms in Haiti are of the utmost importance at this time.”

“Peacekeepers have much work to do in vigorously and dynamically assisting the Government. In the future, Haiti must continue to be supported in enhancing the rule of law and law enforcement so that, in the end, security is ensured by the national forces alone. The social, economic and humanitarian situations continue to be of concern. Along those lines, there must be active participation by United Nations funds and programmes in the rebuilding of the country, peacebuilding activities and coordination among donors. It is worrisome that, in spite of large-scale international assistance, the cholera epidemic has not yet been eradicated. While the number of cases are falling, they still remain numerous. In that respect, we welcome the active and sustainable results-based initiatives of the Secretary-General to combat that illness.”

“We hope that the Government will continue to work on the process for national dialogue and hold elections this year. The United Nations must provide all the necessary support to Haiti's electoral process. All political forces in the country should demonstrate the utmost calm and restraint and resolve disputes exclusively through legal mechanisms. We were concerned to learn that the situation with respect to crime in the country continues to be troublesome. It is clear that stabilization is impossible without putting an end to violence, ensuring that the rights of all citizens are upheld and effectively combating organized crime and corruption. Without a doubt, the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti plays a leading role in all ofthose areas, as underscored in the report of the Secretary-General (S/2013/139).”

Overall, in spite of the country having recently been put to the test, its Government and people, with the active support of the international community, have been able to progressively stabilize the situation. Unfortunately, the political process in Haiti continues to be shaky. There has been rising political rhetoric recently, which certainly has not served to eliminate the differences between the executive branch and Parliament. An important step in achieving stability and moving towards democracy could be the holding of partial parliamentary and municipal elections.”
