  1. “It is crucial to build capacity to cope with such phenomena, as they are likely to continue. In that regard, we welcome the new United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework as critical to the adoption of a long-term approach to addressing the causes of instability and building resilience. I conclude by acknowledging the important work in South Sudan being done by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan and Special Representative Haysom, as well as the United Nations country team and the humanitarian community. We hope that the extension will be leveraged in the transition phase to stabilize the security situation and provide encouragement to and protection for the people of South Sudan.”

  2. “As we heard, 8.9 million people are in need of assistance, and 75 per cent of the population suffers from severe food insecurity. In that complex situation, attacks on humanitarian workers are unacceptable. We call on the Government of South Sudan to take urgent action to remove bureaucratic impediments and ensure the safety of humanitarian workers. We also commend the initiatives and efforts to create safe spaces, such as the initiative that Special Representative Haysom mentioned to create a humanitarian corridor along the Nile in order to facilitate mobility and the provision of basic services. Fourthly, with regard to the climate situation, South Sudan is one of the clearest examples of the tragic impact of climate change. The destruction caused by flooding has been followed by another relentless rainy season.”

  3. “We recall that that is a sanctions-designation criterion. We deplore the fact that that the Committee has not met to discuss that serious issue. The protection of civilians and the situation in the camps for internally displaced persons are priorities for Mexico. We urgently call on the authorities of South Sudan to fully assume their primary responsibility for the protection of civilians. As long as progress is not made to resolve deep-seated differences, tensions will resurface, such as the recent tensions in states on the border with Abyei. We note the reconstitution of the Committee on the Final Status of Abyei and look forward to progress in that area, in line with the efforts of the African Union. Thirdly, violence has exacerbated the dire humanitarian situation.”

  4. “Secondly, with regard to the human rights and security situations, we have followed with deep concern the outbreak of violence in Unity, Jonglei, Upper Nile and Central Equatoria states, among others, which has led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. Human rights violations have also been reported, including serious violations against children. We would like to underscore in particular the regrettable increase in the number of cases of sexual and gender-based violence. We condemn in the strongest terms rape and sexual assault as a method of warfare. Impunity with regard to those acts is alarming, and we urge the authorities of South Sudan to ensure that alleged perpetrators of rape do not occupy positions of power and that they provide the necessary compensation and protection to victims.”

  5. “We echo the appeal made by the United Nations, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and the African Union to the Government of South Sudan to move forward with the process in an inclusive manner and without delay. We will follow with interest the work of the trilateral working group in its mandate to support the Government in preparing for elections and in the constitution-drafting process. We welcome the fact that some progress was made during the reporting period in the area of legislation. We also note the graduation of the necessary unified forces and hope that the Government can take advantage of that situation to ensure that the integration and deployment of those forces are carried out in full compliance with international human rights standards and in the best interests of the people of South Sudan.”

  6. “Ms. Curzio Vila (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): I thank Special Representative Haysom, the Permanent Representative of Gabon and interim Chairperson Tai Gituai for their briefings. I also welcome the Permanent Representative of South Sudan to today’s meeting. Given that this will be the last time during its current term that Mexico will participate in a meeting on South Sudan as an elected member of the Security Council, I would like to make the following observations. First, with regard to the political situation, the lack of progress in the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan over the past two years has resulted in the extension of the transition period.”

  7. “Haysom mentioned, the conditions for the humanitarian community are increasingly precarious. We urge the South Sudanese authorities to take immediate action to end the violence and restrictions faced by the humanitarian community. In that regard, we regret the imposition of tariffs and taxes on cargo for use by the Mission and hope that the Government can cooperate to facilitate UNMISS’s work. In conclusion, I want to reiterate the importance of addressing the root causes fuelling cycles of violence. Stabilization and peacebuilding depend on it.”

  8. “We hope that the recent graduation of the first batch of the unified forces will contribute to that end. UNMISS must continue to react with rapid deployments and temporary mobile units. UNMISS and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights continue to report abuses and serious human rights violations. Mexico deplores the extrajudicial killings in Mayom county and reiterates the importance of strengthening the justice system. We are deeply concerned about the increase in cases of sexual and gender-based violence and about the grave violations against children. We call for those responsible for such acts to be brought to justice, as well as for the provision of the necessary services and reparations to survivors and victims. Thirdly, concerning humanitarian assistance and as Mr.”

  9. “We also hope that progress can be made on the consideration of pending draft laws for the elections and that they will be an inclusive process with the participation of all parties, including the opposition and civil society, as well as women and young people. That is particularly important in the light of reports of a shrinking civic space. Secondly, the prevailing security situation in the country — in particular the high levels of intercommunal violence — is disproportionately affecting civilians and is very worrying. We deplore all attacks such as the one that took place last week on the centre for internally displaced persons in Adidiyang. We call on the authorities to take measures to protect civilians and prevent the escalation of fighting.”

  10. “Ms. Curzio Vila (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): I thank Special Representative Haysom and Ms. Riziq for their reports. I also welcome the representative of South Sudan to this meeting. Today I will address three points on the situation in South Sudan and the work of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). First, with regard to the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan, on 4 August the parties signed a road map extending the transition period until February 2025. We hope that during that period the Government of South Sudan will be able to make tangible progress in implementing the outstanding benchmarks. That is essential for the conduct of free, credible and fair elections.”
