1. “After several meetings with the national Government, the new governors and mayors are incorporating the peace with legality policy into their agendas and territorial planning instruments. By the end of February 166 municipalities and 15 provinces had approved such instruments. I would now like to refer to the two mandates of the Verification Mission, the first of which is the reintegration of ex-combatants. The report notes the country’s significant progress in this area. President Duque has emphatically reaffirmed that since he took office, 20 months ago, the sustainability of the reintegration process has been decisive in preventing new cycles of violence. We have also made progress on complex issues related to the legal situation of the former territorial areas for training and reintegration.”

2. “Even amid these circumstances, President Duque has reaffirmed his determination to pursue the peace with legality policy in order to advance and fulfil our commitments to victims, ex-combatants and the communities and families covered by the policy, including those who participate in voluntary illicit crop substitution programmes. We have made progress in consolidating the 16 development programmes with a territorial focus in the 170 municipalities most affected by violence and poverty. The implementation of those programmes, which are also essential for comprehensive rural development, is now backed by the new regional and local authorities who took office in January.”

3. “In our public policies for sustainable development and peace with legality, young people play a central role as both participants and beneficiaries of actions. In the first quarter of 2020 our country faced numerous challenges. Among them I highlight our efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, I note the exodus of 1.8 million Venezuelans who have settled in Colombia and require humanitarian and social care. I take this opportunity to thank all the countries that are providing us meaningful cooperation to help us face those challenges.”

4. “I thank you, Mr. President, for convening this Security Council meeting. For Colombia and all countries, it is essential that the United Nations continue to work on its pillars and mandates, especially in the context of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) global crisis and its serious challenges. On behalf of President Iván Duque Márquez, I wish to express our gratitude to the members of the Security Council for their ongoing support to my country. I also take this opportunity to thank Secretary-General António Guterres for his report (S/2020/239), as well as his Special Representative and Head of the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia, Mr. Carlos Ruiz Massieu, for his important work in Colombia. I welcome the briefing by the representative of Colombian youth.”
