  1. “I thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Tanin for his briefing. I would also like to welcome Deputy Prime Minister Dacic' and Ambassador Citaku to the Security Council and thank both of them for their constructive statements this morning. It has been three months since the Council last met to discuss the situation in Kosovo. As the report of the Secretary-General (S/2017/911) makes clear, it is been a comparatively quiet period, one that does not warrant the Council's attention so soon after our last meeting on the subject (see S/PV.8025). Since we last met, we have seen the welcome formation of a new Government and a National Assembly.”

  2. “Therefore, let me close by urging the Governments of the Sudan and South Sudan to fully engage with the African Union and the Joint Political and Security Mechanism, including by implementing the commitments they made over the weekend, so that governance and justice mechanisms can be established, direct negotiations resumed and a final, overdue settlements of the Abyei question can at last be agreed.”

  3. “Where there is evidence that part ofa mission is not contributing to the implementation of a mandate, we should not continue to devote resources to it, particularly when budgets across all missions are under pressure. For the past five years, the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism has been unable to monitor the Safe Demilitarized Border Zone effectively because the Governments of the Sudan and South Sudan have not matched the commitment of UNISFA. The resolution makes it clear that support to the Monitoring Mechanism will stop in six months unless both Governments show steadfast commitment to allowing the Mechanism to reach full operational capability.”

  4. “The United Kingdom welcomes the adoption of resolution 2352 (2017) today. Through this text, we have extended the important work of the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) for another six months. I should like to pay tribute to the mission and to Ethiopia for all they have done to improve the security and humanitarian situation in Abyei, despite the absence of political progress. Our collective priority now must be supporting continued stability in the region and the reinvigoration of the political process. UNISFA will play an important role in that effort. But as it does, it is right that we keep it under close review so that it is best suited to fulfil its mandate.”

  5. “New Zealand's provincial reconstruction team also supports the local Ministry of Women's Affairs in developing a gender network to look at ways to empower local women and build capacity for women's affairs in the region. Finally, our networking activities include disseminating information to women to help them solve their own problems, holding training workshops around the province and promoting discussion groups on issues such as the role of mothers in the home. Nine years on from the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), much remains to be done. This Council has my assurance that New Zealand, through its development cooperation programmes, its peacekeeping efforts and its domestic policies, will continue to seek ways to enhance and ensure the 6 protection and equal participation, of women in peace processes.”

  6. “To facilitate the participation of women in Afghanistan's national police force, New Zealand police have helped ensure that on-site childcare services are available for women students, that women instructors are available for training, and that mentoring is provided to instructors and senior male staff in the Afghan National Police to support the training of women. Through the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, New Zealand supports the Women's Protection Network in Bamiyan. We have contributed funding to establish a Women's Referral Centre in Bamiyan to provide secure accommodation and paralegal advice for women seeking access to justice.”

  7. “For this reason we believe the mandate of the Special Representative should cover all aspects of the women, peace and security agenda, not just the issue of sexual violence. New Zealand acknowledges that States must also take responsibility for making progress towards the goals of resolution 1325 (2000), including enabling the full participation of women and girls in the peace process. Among other things, women need access to shelter, health care, a livelihood, education and justice. They should be part of any decision-making processes. And, above all, they must be free from violence. New Zealand is committed to addressing these needs as part of its own peacekeeping efforts. There are several concrete examples of how we do this through our provincial reconstruction team in Bamiyan Province in Afghanistan.”

  8. “We now urge the Secretary-General to appoint strong and dynamic advocates of the resolution 1325 (2000) agenda to the role of the new Special Representative and as head of the new composite gender entity. As we focus more on sexual violence, we must also redouble our efforts to implement the other crucial aspects of resolution 1325 (2000) - increased participation of women both in peacekeeping and peacebuilding missions and in mediation and negotiation processes. To make a lasting impact on the lives of women in conflict and post-conflict situations, 5 we must adopt an integrated approach to each of the pillars of resolution 1325 (2000). To this end, the appointment of a Special Representative should provide much needed visibility, leadership and coherence.”

  9. “Along with resolutions 1325 (2000), 1820 (2008), 1882 (2009), 1888 (2009) and the resolution that was adopted today, 1889 (2009), we have come a long way in developing a comprehensive set of norms to protect and enhance the participation of women and girls in peace processes. Today, we lend a strong voice to calls urging States, regional groups and the United Nations system to translate those words into action. To do this, we recognize the need for stronger leadership and coordination across the United Nations system. We welcome two recent initiatives that should contribute to this goal. First is the future appointment of a Special Representative of the Secretary-General on sexual violence in armed conflict. And the second is the General Assembly's recent action to reform the United Nations gender architecture.”

  10. “I join those who have congratulated you, Mr. President, on assuming the presidency of this Council. I note that New Zealand seeks the protection of women and their equal participation in peace processes. We thank you for having arranged this debate and we appreciate the opportunity to contribute. This is the third consecutive month the Security Council has debated the issues of women, peace and security. We welcome that increased focus, in particular the attention given to the scourge of sexual violence. We commend the Council's readiness to address those issues more systematically. Only last week, New Zealand joined in co-sponsoring resolution 1888 (2009) in this Council.”
