1. “Those efforts are possible thanks to the dynamic cooperation of the Ministries of Justice and Human Rights with the Human Rights Division of MINUSMA. As for the humanitarian situation, it should be noted that the Government of Mali is resolutely committed to meeting the challenges related to the return of displaced persons and refugees in optimal conditions; providing access for people affected by the crisis to basic social services, including education, health, nutrition, water, hygiene and sanitation; and improving the livelihoods and resilience of the people. Moreover, the Lyce'e de Kidal was reopened for the school year 2017-2018 and the State effectively returned in all the regional capitals of the North and the main towns in the region.”

2. “With regard to the human rights situation referred to in the report of the Secretary-General under consideration, I note that the establishment of a ministry fully dedicated to human rights in successive Governments illustrates the unwavering political will of Malian authorities for the promotion and protection of human rights. Despite the difficult situation in Mali, the Government has committed itself to that task. I can report to the Council that the Minister of Justice has already given instructions to the judicial authorities in affected jurisdictions to open investigations and inquiries into allegations of human rights violations set out in the report, including cases of forced disappearances, arrests and arbitrary detentions.”

3. “This is a major challenge that the Government intends to address through the rapid acceleration of the effective operationalization of the integrated security plan for the central regions, in order to guarantee the peace of mind that would enable the effective return of the administration to that part of the country, thereby enabling children to go to school in peace and the people to go about their business normally. Likewise, the Government will immediately organize an inclusive political dialogue on the security situation in the centre of the country.”

4. “In that connection, at the latest meeting of the Agreement Monitoring Committee both signatory parties undertook to finalize, before 2 February, the consensual criteria and quotas for the integration of ex-combatants within the national army. In addition to improving security conditions in the northern regions of the country, the Government attaches particular importance to the situation in the central regions of Mali, particularly the regions of Mopti and Segou. Repeated attacks on civilians and State officials undermine efforts to restore State authority over the territory and hinder the provision by the State of basic social services to our fellow citizens in those regions.”

5. “In addition, the Government is making every effort to implement the process of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of former combatants. In that connection, it should be recalled that, out of the $50 million earmarked for the implementation of the programme, the Government of Mali, despite its limited resources, financed $10 million ofits own funds to supplement the $15 million dollars provided by the World Bank, which I commend. I hope that, with the support of other partners, the gap will soon be bridged. In the same vein, I am pleased to report that the National Security Sector Reform Council has already prepared a road map for the finalization of the national security sector reform strategy.”

6. “One of the major challenges to the stabilization of our country lies in meeting the political deadlines to come. The sovereign decision of the Government of Mali to postpone the elections, initially scheduled for December 2017, to 2018 is due to the concern for inclusiveness and openness of the top Malian authorities with a View to creating an environment that is most conducive to holding those elections. I take this opportunity to reiterate the commitment of the Government of Mali to organizing free, credible and transparent elections within the constitutional deadlines and throughout the national territory - taking into account the law on gender so as to ensure the representativeness of women in elected positions.”

7. “The timeline provides a road map for implementing key provisions of the Agreement that are conducive to stabilizing the country and holding forthcoming elections. The Committee urged the Malian parties to respect the commitments made and encouraged the international community to provide support in that regard. In order to ensure greater efficiency in the dialogue among the parties to the Agreement, the Malian parties have agreed to the future participation of MINUSMA and the lead partner of the international mediation at the meetings of the inter-Malian discussion mechanism as observers. All the details ofthis timeline are annexed to the updated memorandum on the actions undertaken by the Government and were distributed as Security Council documents.”

8. “In that way, the Government will rapidly initiate a draft law on national understanding that will reflect those proposals. It is because time is in short supply that, in addition to that bold initiative of the President, the Government will also seek to expedite the implementation of political and institutional reforms, of the cantonment and the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process, security sector reform, as well as the return of refugees and displaced persons. I also mention the holding, on 15 and 16 January, of the twenty-third session of the Agreement Monitoring Committee in Mali, which welcomed and validated the timeline of priority actions selected by the Malian parties.”

9. “The initiative of the Head of State to launch the adoption process for the law on national understanding, in line with implementing the charter for peace, unity and national reconciliation issued as the outcome of the national conference ofunderstanding, is also part ofthat dynamic. That law seeks to rebuild the social fabric and national unity and to strengthen reconciliation among Malians by means of the exemption from prosecution of all those involved in armed rebellion but who have no blood on their hands; measures to restore calm after accelerating the trials under way and granting reparations to recognized victims; and a reintegration programme for all those who lay down their arms and publically and frankly commit to renouncing violence.”

10. “Anxious to meet the deep aspirations of all our people, the Head of State has assigned the new Government team the following four priorities: completion of the implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation; containment of the increasing insecurity in the centre of the country; meeting social demands by accelerating the implementation of the presidential programme on urgent social needs; and the organization of transparent, credible and peaceful elections. As the Security Council can see, the implementation of the Agreement is at the top of the President's priorities.”

11. “I would like to reaffirm the determination of the President of the Republic of Mali to make every effort to accelerate the implementation of the Agreement, for we remain deeply convinced that there is no alternative to that peaceful way for the lasting settlement of the complex crisis in Mali. With regard to the prospects for 2018 in connection with the implementation of the Agreement, the Government of Mali will continue its efforts to maintain the climate of increasing trust between the signatory parties and to initiate a draft law on national agreement in order to take up the proposals of the national conference of understanding.”

12. “The Government of Mali fully supports the Secretary-General's assessment that undeniable progress has been made at the political and institutional levels and with regard to defence, security, justice and economic development issues, as well as the provision of basic social services. We see that progress as a source of encouragement for the Malian parties and for all our partners, whose assistance and multifaceted support are particularly appreciated. Without needing to recall the long list of those developments, which reflect the will and commitment of the Government of Mali, under the authority of the Head of State, I would simply like to underscore that such progress contributes to the gradual restoration of peace and security in our country. However, time is in short supply.”

13. “Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, for his excellent presentation of the report under consideration (S/2017/1105). The Government of Mali takes note of the report of the Secretary-General and is pleased with the quality of the cooperation between the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) and the Government of the Republic ofMali. That is demonstrated by the existence of mechanisms between the two parties to evaluate the criteria for monitoring the implementation of the Agreement, as well as in the area of human rights.”

14. “I would like to express our warm congratulations to the newly elected members of the Council, namely, Cote d'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Kuwait, Peru and Poland, and assure them of our full and complete cooperation for the success of their work in the service of peace. I would also like to express our deep gratitude to the delegations of Egypt, Japan, Senegal, Ukraine and Uruguay for their excellent contribution in the pursuit of solutions to the emerging challenges related to, inter alia, environmental degradation, irregular migration, trafficking of all kinds, and the spread of terrorism and violent extremism, as well as the repeated asymmetric attacks targeting United Nations peacekeeping forces in the fulfilment of their mandates. In the same vein, I would like to congratulate Mr.”

At the same time, I would like to congratulate Japan on its outstanding conduct of the Council's work during the past month. I would like to thank the Secretary-General, Mr. Antonio Guterres, for his tireless efforts to implement the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali and for the operationalization of the Joint Force of the Group of Five for the Sahel - two guarantees for lasting stability throughout the region.”

To the United Nations, the European Union, France, Chad and its army and to all our bilateral and multilateral partners, we express our sincere thanks and deep gratitude for the crucially essential role they continue to play for the definitive return of peace and stability in Mali.”

17. “I cannot end this chapter of my statement without reiterating the urgent appeal of the Government of Mali to the Council to ensure the transfer of competencies from the African-led international support mission for Mali to the new United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). That transfer must take place quickly so as to ensure that MINUSMA will be in Mali for as short a period as possible. The brevity of its mandate will serve as evidence of its success in Mali.”

18. “In essence, the agreement provides for the immediate cessation of hostilities, the cantonment and disarmament of armed groups, and the deployment of administrative and basic services and the Malian defence and security forces in the Kidal region. The Coordination des mouvements et forces patriotiques de resistance and the Mouvement arabe de l'Azawad have expressed their support for the agreement. Along those same lines, the President of the Republic, Mr. Dioncounda Traore', held a number of meetings with political leaders with a view to the improved implementation of the agreement and the holding of transparent and peaceful elections.”

19. “Politically, I am pleased to recall the fact that on 18 June last, the Government of Mali, faithful to its commitments to the international community in the quest for a peaceful and lasting solution to the crisis in Mali, signed the preliminary agreement for the presidential elections and for inclusive peace talks in Mali, with the coordination of Malian armed movements. Signed in Ouagadougou under the auspices of President Blaise Compaore, President of Burkina Faso and mediator for the Mali crisis, the agreement represents a decisive step towards the re-establishment of the territorial integrity of Mali and creates conditions conducive to the holding of the presidential elections throughout the national territory.”

20. “In terms of security, the end of large-scale fighting around the main urban areas in the north, the routing of the armed groups and the drastic drop in their capacity to be spoilers thanks to the joint efforts of the Malian, African and French armed forces, all are favourable indicators with respect to the transfer of competence from AFISMA to MINUSMA within the time limit set by resolution 2100 (2013). That is why my delegation fully endorses the appeal made by the Secretary-General calling on Member States to support the deployment of MINUSMA.”

22. “Mr. Coulibaly (Mali) (spoke in French): Mr. President, allow me at the outset, on behalf of the delegation of Mali, to convey to you our warmest congratulations on the accession of your country, the United Kingdom, to the presidency of the Security Council in June. I wish also to welcome the convening of this meeting dealing with the consideration of the report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Mali (S/2013/338). Exactly two months ago, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2100 (2013) establishing, under Chapter VII, the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). Since then, a number of new developments have occurred in the context of the implementation of the resolution.”

23. “Along those lines, I would like to reiterate the determination of the transitional Government to fully cooperate with the Security Council and to play its role in the implementation of the resolution. I would also like to pay a sincere tribute to France for having been able, while fully respecting international legality, to put an end to the crimes of the terrorists in Mali and for its commitment to support MINUSMA. In conclusion, Iwould also like to express the sincere thanks of the Government of Mali to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the African Union, the European Union, the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and all our bilateral and multilateral partners, neighbouring countries and States of the region for their precious help as we deal with the Malian crisis.”

24. “We would also ask them to honour their pledges, and we invite other Member States and regional and international organizations to join in the wave of solidarity. As we speak, the transitional Government is actively involved in the implementation of the road map through, inter alia, the organization of fair, free and transparent elections and the beginning of an inclusive inter-Malian dialogue. Part of the dynamic is a dialogue and reconciliation commission, with the appointment of its Chairman and two Vice-Chairmen and 30 Commissioners representing the diversity of the Malian nation. On behalf of the President of the Republic of Mali, Mr. Dioncounda Traore, allow me, Mr. President, to thank you, the members of the Security Council and the Secretary-General for the untiring efforts that have led to the adoption of today's resolution.”

25. “There can be no doubt that there can be no sustainable development without peace and without security. That is why I would like, in this Chamber, to appeal to the international community for better coordination of its action in order to effectively respond to the immediate and long-term needs of Mali and the countries of the region in the areas of security, governance, development and humanitarian action. We dare to hope that the international conference of donors to be held in Brussels on 15 May to help Mali in its development will achieve the desired results. We take this opportunity to thank the countries that have announced donations to the conference organized by the African Union in Addis Ababa on 29 January for their support to AFISMA and the Malian security and defence forces.”

26. “Despite the hope raised by the success of the military operations, which has made it possible to progressively restore administration in certain areas, small cells of armed terrorists and rebels continue to present a serious threat to stability and the territorial integrity of Mali, as well as to peace and security in the region. That is why the Government of Mali welcomes the commitment of the international community to taking active measures to deter and prevent the return of armed rebel groups. As required by resolution 2100 (2013), the armed rebel groups must not only lay down their arms, but also immediately cease hostilities and unconditionally recognize the unity and territorial integrity of the Republic of Mali. Wars and conflicts have devastating consequences on development.”

Thanks to the joint action of Operation Serval, the troops of AFISMA and the Malian security forces, significant progress has been achieved in the security area, particularly in taking back the main cities of the northern and central regions.”

My delegation is particularly pleased by the adoption of that resolution, which seeks to transfer functions from the African-led International Support Mission in Mali (AFISMA) to the new United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), created under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations.”

First, I would like to sincerely congratulate Rwanda on its Council presidency - a very agreeable task - as well as all members of the Security Council for the remarkable work that they have accomplished during the month of April. I would also like to express my gratitude to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his untiring efforts, not only towards a lasting solution to the serious Malian crisis but also for everything that he has done for peace, stability and development in the Sahel.”

I would in particular like to thank France, its people, President and Government, who very early on understood that the presence in northern Mali of heavily armed AQMI, MUJAO and affiliated extremists and terrorists posed an immediate threat to international peace and security. France spared no effort in ensuring that the Security Council assumed its responsibilities.”

In that regard, I would like to reiterate here our determination to pursue, under the auspices of the Economic Community of West African States mediator, the discussions that have been initiated with Malian rebel groups that have decided to break all ties with AQMI, MUJAO and their affiliated terrorist and extremist groups, as well as to definitively reject violence and the notion of secession. Needless to say, political dialogue cannot begin outside the framework of non-negotiable conditions set out by the Government of Mali, which includes strict respect for Mali's sovereignty and territorial integrity, the secular nature of the State and the unity of the country.”

Mali welcomes the adoption of this resolution, which reflects the commitment of the international community to stand by Mali in combating terrorism and transnational organized crime, which gravely imperil the region's stability as well as international peace and security.”

In that connection, Morocco's presidency of the Security Council has served to move forward the process of resolving the crisis in Mali. That is reflected in the Council's meeting on 5 December on the situation in the Sahel (see S/PV.6879), during which the Council considered the report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Mali (S/2012/894), as well as in the open debate held on 10 December (see S/PV.6882).”
