  1. “The first 18 months of independence have not always been easy. Developing the structures of Government, establishing State authority and enforcing the rule of law is not the work of one year or even of five years; it is a long-term process. Since the independence of the Republic of South Sudan from the Sudan, our nascent State has confronted enormous tasks of nation-building and development. We concur with the Secretary-General's calls that urge our development partners to provide the prerequisite peacebuilding support for the efforts being undertaken to stabilize the conflict-prone tri-state area of Unity, Warrap and Lakes states. Significant investment by other parties and continued support by UNMISS are required in assisting the Government to project its authority and to develop its capacity to govern those volatile areas.”

  2. “The President ofthe Republic of South Sudan has already issued an order instructing the army's general chief of staff to immediately draw troops away from the buffer zone. Indeed, as I speak now, our armed forces have started moving to the designated areas away from the buffer zone. On the issue of the determination of the final status of Abyei and the consideration of establishing the Abyei Referendum Commission, the two parties agreed that the matter should be dealt with at the level of the Presidents of the two countries, South Sudan and the Sudan. It is our sincere hope that the long-suffering people of Abyei will at last have their problems resolved and promptly be able to exercise their right of self- determination. As the world's youngest nation, South Sudan still faces many challenges.”

  3. “It is no secret that the relations between South Sudan and the Sudan have not been satisfactory, despite the fact that the Government of South Sudan has shown flexibility in the post-independence negotiations in Addis Ababa. On 12 March, however, the two countries adopted the implementation matrix in Addis Ababa under the auspices of the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel for Sudan and South Sudan. The matrix contains a clear road map for the implementation of the previous agreements signed. Importantly, a measurable breakthrough with regard to security arrangements has been taken place. The two parties agreed to withdraw their troops unconditionally to their respective sides of the Safe Demilitarized Border Zone.”

  4. “President Kiir reiterates the Government's apologies and condolences to the Government and people of the Russian Federation, as well as to the families of those killed. We expect to complete our investigations into the matter in a timely fashion, and will fully cooperate with the United Nations Secretariat Board of Inquiry. The Republic of South Sudan remains fully committed to guaranteeing the safety, security and unrestricted freedom of movement of United Nations personnel in the country. We welcome the proposal of UNMISS to engage in the sensitization and training of all security organs on the UNMISS mandate, the status of forces agreement, the privileges and immunities of United Nations personnel and South Sudan's obligations under international law.”

  5. “The Government welcomes and encourages the continued support of the humanitarian and non-governmental-organization community, both for peacebuilding efforts and for new initiatives aimed at addressing those underlying issues. With regard to the regrettable incidents of inter-communal violence in Western Bahr el-Ghazal state, the Government of the Republic of South Sudan is completely committed to a process of full accountability. As the Secretary-General notes in his report, steps have been taken to ensure due process for all detainees. UNMISS has also been granted access to detainees in Wau county. My Government once again expresses its profound regret for the shooting down of an UNMISS helicopter in December 2012.”

  6. “An amnesty offer nonetheless remains on the table. Through its support to Murle leaders for their engagement with Murle youths, the Government has invested tremendous energy in pursuit of peace in Jonglei. We would like to express our appreciation to UNMISS for its extensive support for those efforts. There are no easy or immediate solutions in Jonglei. Disarmament alone will not resolve the underlying issues of traditional perceptions and practices among the various traditional communities in those areas. We recognize that an inclusive, long-term national reconciliation process is sorely needed, and the Government has committed resources to it.”

  7. “We welcome the logistical and technical support that UNMISS will provide for those endeavours. The Secretary-General also makes reference in his report to President Kiir's recent decisions with regard to the leadership of the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) and the South Sudan National Police Service. Those changes are part of our Government's efforts to engage in serious security sector reform. We welcome the continued support of the international community for that process. The Government maintains its policy of seeking peace with rebel militias, as a result of which many groups have over the years been successfully absorbed into the SPLA. The Government still faces a threat from a group loyal to David Yau Yau, who, as noted in the Secretary-General's report, has attacked civilians in Jonglei, as well as SPLA positions.”

  8. “We also thank all the States Members of the United Nations, including members of the Council, for the contribution of troops, civilian personnel and equipment to the Mission. As the Secretary-General underlines in his report, South Sudan has continued to build its national institutions and to make meaningful progress on several fronts, despite experiencing a considerable number of internal and external challenges. The extension of the mandate of the National Constitutional Review Commission will allow for meaningful participation by the largest number of our citizens in the constitutional review process. That is a critical ingredient for effective peacebuilding. We would also like to inform the Council that the Government has begun the necessary planning for the 2014 census and the 2015 elections.”

  9. “Allow me, at the outset, to thank you and your country, Mr. President, for the good work done during your presidency of the Security Council this month. I wish you success in discharging your responsibilities. Similarly, we would like to extend our profound gratitude to His Excellency Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and his Special Representative, Ms. Hilde Johnson, for their continued support and commitment to the Government and the people of the South Sudan through the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). We also welcome this opportunity to share our views with the members of the Security Council and to thank the Secretary- General for his report (S/2013/140).”
