1. “Therefore, we deeply appreciate the work that African peacekeepers have been bravely carrying out for more than a decade and are grateful to the contributing countries.”

2. “We are confident that UNSOM will maintain its core objectives with its new authorization. We are also convinced that its future strategic review will provide additional assistance to policymaking and peacebuilding in Somalia. Thirdly, I would like to underline Brazil’s condemnation of terrorism in all its forms. The recent attacks have once again made the people of Somalia deal with deaths and injuries to their dear sons and daughters. Earlier this month, Al-Shabaab claimed the lives of African Blue Helmets, mostly Burundian peacekeepers. Those African Union Transition Mission in Somalia soldiers and all who have worked on behalf of the African Union forces have been taking part in of one of the most dangerous tasks that a person could face.”

3. “Let me begin by thanking the Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Somalia, Mr. James Swan, and the Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission for Somalia, Ambassador Madeira, for their briefings. I also welcome the delegation of Somalia to this meeting. My delegation will raise three points today. First, I would like to reiterate our congratulations to the Somali people. Brazil commends Somalia on the peaceful conclusion of its elections. We wish President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and the new Government a successful term. Secondly, I would like to emphasize our support for the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM). Brazil shares the sense of priority that surrounds the upcoming mandate renewal.”

4. “Many observers have noted that the status quo in Kosovo is unsustainable and that the lack of agreement may not only worsen tensions and deepen the estrangement among all communities, but it also risks irreversible changes on the ground and further reduces the prospects of a settlement. Hence, Pristina and Belgrade must display a renewed sense of urgency in resuming the negotiating process. Brazil does not underestimate the complexity of issues involved, in particular regarding the future status of Kosovo. Brazil has always supported, and will remain supportive of, the efforts to bring about a negotiated solution that allows the peoples of the Balkans to live in peace, with security and prosperity.”

5. “As the reports of the Secretary-General inform us, substantial autonomy for Kosovo has generally been achieved, but the conditions for a peaceful and normal life for all communities in the region have not yet been accomplished. Hence, the main objective of UNMIK remains unfulfilled, and the debate about an independent Kosovo seems premature. It is necessary to put in place a broad dialogue among the various communities in the region in order to bring about much-needed stability and prosperity. The principles for that comprehensive political dialogue must be the strict observance of human rights, including freedom of religion and the integrity of religious sites, and the strengthening of the rule of law.”

6. “As the UNMIK report makes clear, there is much distrust and lack of cooperation between Belgrade and Pristina. Furthermore, within Kosovo, Serbs and other minorities feel discriminated against and persecuted. That is most unfortunate, since the political stability of Kosovo is of paramount importance to the Western Balkans. In that regard, we believe that the persistent discussion on the recognition of Kosovo as an independent State has been detrimental to the wider political process and has undermined the prospects for meaningful regional cooperation. Resolution 1244 (1999) is clear that the people of Kosovo can enjoy substantial autonomy within Serbia, while the development of self-governing political institutions is aimed at ensuring conditions for a peaceful and normal life for all the inhabitants of Kosovo.”

7. “Nevertheless, the recent report (S/2022/313) points out that more needs to be done regarding the strengthening of the rule of law, the fight against corruption and organized crime, respect for the rights of minorities and, crucially, the establishment of the Association/ Community of Serb-majority Municipalities in Kosovo, as agreed in the Brussels Agreement. We also acknowledge the initiatives led by the European Union and the United States to foster dialogue and understanding between Pristina and Belgrade. In that regard, the resumption of direct contact between the authorities from both parties last October is particularly welcomed. We note that, despite the continuous support of the international community, a political settlement remains elusive.”

8. “At the outset, I would like to thank Ms. Caroline Ziadeh, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Kosovo, for her remarks regarding the activities of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) from September 2021 to March of this year. Brazil appreciates the efforts of UNMIK in assisting the people of Kosovo. We understand that, despite remaining challenges, the Mission has been accomplishing some of its main objectives, as set out in resolution 1244 (1999), especially in overseeing the development of local institutions, supporting peacebuilding activities and providing assistance to local authorities to perform basic administrative functions.”
