“We reiterated the responsibility of States to ensure compliance with applicable instruments on nuclear safety and security, such as the Convention on Nuclear Safety, the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel and the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and its amendment. We agreed that it was high time the IAEA deployed an expert mission to the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant without delay. Yet the situation remains unchanged. Shelling around the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant continues, and we meet once again. Our inability to translate words into actions is pushing us to the brink of reason. Two weeks ago, the IAEA assessed that the situation posed no immediate threat to nuclear safety, but as the situation drags on, the threat that was once limited becomes an increasingly concrete risk.”

“I would like to thank Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo for her briefing. Two weeks ago, we met in this very Chamber to discuss this very topic (see S/PV.9109). We all expressed our concerns about the potentially catastrophic and lasting consequences for human health and the environment that substantial damage to the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant would entail. We reaffirmed that any armed attack on, or threat against, nuclear facilities devoted to peaceful purposes constitutes a violation of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, international law and the Statute of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as unanimously recognized by the Agency’s General Conference.”

“Brazil also underlines its support for the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan. Dialogue and cooperation among all Sudanese stakeholders are needed to secure the peaceful, inclusive transition to democracy envisaged in the draft constitutional declaration. Brazil is a founding member of the ICC and has a deep-rooted commitment to international law and international justice. As a permanent Treaty- based tribunal, the ICC represented a breakthrough in ensuring accountability for the most serious crimes under international law. Our support and cooperation are essential to enabling it to fulfil its crucial responsibilities.”

“Khan’s initiative in reaching out to the communities affected. The report makes reference to the challenges represented by limited internal resources. In that respect, I reiterate Brazil’s insistence on the need for the expenses incurred by the Court for referrals from the Security Council to be borne by the United Nations as well as the States parties to the Rome Statute. I would also like to mention our concern about the current political, economic and social situation in the Sudan. Almost 12 million Sudanese may be facing acute food insecurity between June and September. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has issued a thorough emergency-response preparedness plan. The international community should redouble its efforts to address the aggravated food insecurity and malnutrition in the Sudan.”

“Without strong national institutions able to deliver justice for local populations and protect them from further harm, there will always be a higher level of risk of relapse into instability and conflict and therefore the perpetration of serious crimes. That is why the primary responsibility for providing justice belongs to national States and should remain so, without prejudice to the complementarity role that the Court must play when States are unable or unwilling to do so. In that context, Brazil commends the efforts that the Office of the Prosecutor and the Court’s Registry are making to establish a field office in Khartoum. It will bring the ICC closer to the victims and witnesses, reinforce its ability to collect evidence and enable it to cooperate more closely with the Government of the Sudan. Brazil also deeply appreciates Mr.”

“I especially welcome his simple, clear-cut, updated road map for accountability. It sets tangible goals, deadlines and actions for the coming months and will therefore enable the Security Council to measure the progress achieved in its implementation in objective terms. I am also pleased to see the delegation of the Sudan, whose presence in this Chamber is a positive sign of its engagement with the cause of justice. The thirty-fifth report portrays the challenges that the Office of the Prosecutor currently faces in the investigation and prosecution of alleged crimes committed in Darfur. One of them, cooperation with national authorities, is key. Complementarity is a fundamental principle of the Rome Statute, and, if I may put it in these terms, the basis for an effective result, which is sustainable international justice.”

“I would like to thank China for facilitating this important briefing, which is a fundamental tool for the international community to keep track of the follow-up to its referral to the International Criminal Court (ICC) of serious violations allegedly perpetrated in Darfur. It was the first time that the Security Council availed itself of that power conferred on it by the Rome Statute. This referral pursuant to resolution 1593 (2005) has unquestionably been a landmark in the history of international criminal justice, although it has allowed selective immunity, which regrettably weakens the ICC’s ability to fully discharge its duties. I would also like to thank Prosecutor Karim Khan not only for the information that he provided today, but also for his most recent report.”

“As Director General Grossi stated recently, the current situation is untenable. We echo the calls for the deployment of an IAEA expert mission to the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant without delay.”

“While the IAEA assessment that there was no immediate threat to nuclear safety as a result of Saturday’s incident give us some relief, we cannot lose sight of the fact that recent events have breached virtually all the seven pillars outlined by Director General Grossi earlier this year. The absence of an immediate threat does not mean the absence of a threat; it means only that the parties still have a chance to avoid a disaster. What makes the situation so alarming is precisely the fact that we are fully aware of the catastrophic and lasting consequences for human health and the environment that any damage to the Zaporizhzhya power plant would entail. We therefore call on all parties to refrain from any measure that could jeopardize the safety and security of the nuclear power plant, as well as its safe operation.”

“We reiterate that all parties concerned have a responsibility to ensure compliance with the applicable instruments on nuclear safety and security, including the Convention on Nuclear Safety, the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management and the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and its Amendment. During the ongoing Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the States parties have been insisting on the need to promote nuclear safety and security, as well as to reduce risk. The urgency of translating those words into action is increasingly evident.”

“I thank Director General Grossi for his clear and comprehensive briefing. Brazil has been following with great concern news about recent shelling incidents at the facilities of Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in Ukraine. As unanimously recognized by the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), any armed attack on, or threat against, nuclear facilities devoted to peaceful purposes constitutes a violation of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, international law and the Statute of the Agency.”

“The international community must not waver in its resolve to counter terrorism, in the light of the undeniably serious risks that it entails for the maintenance of international peace and security.”

“Despite all of the Security Council resolutions with binding obligations on counter-terrorism, there is still no agreement on the exact parameters of what constitutes terrorism. I want to reiterate that the Security Council should not let a lack of clarity on issues with criminal repercussions be the norm in its work, nor should it circumvent due process when designating new terrorist individuals or entities. It is of paramount importance that decisions on listing terrorist individuals and entities be based on solid evidence. Brazil is adamant in its condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and is alarmed by the continuing threat posed by Da’esh and its affiliates. Our Constitution enshrines the repudiation of terrorism as a guiding principle of our foreign policy.”

“The international community must take advantage of this opportunity to evaluate how to provide better assistance to the victims of terrorism, uphold their rights and fulfil their needs. It should be emphasized that any counter-terrorism action must be carried out within the strict limits of international law, including the Charter of the United Nations, international human rights law, international humanitarian law and international refugee law. When the rule of law does not prevail, distrust of institutions prospers. Violent extremism conducive to terrorism may find a friendly environment when counter-terrorism fails in its ultimate goal of protecting people’s lives and fundamental rights.”

“Terrorist narratives are more likely to attract people who feel alienated and dispossessed and are looking for a sense of purpose and means of survival. Furthermore, as the Secretary-General pointed out, food insecurity may exacerbate existing fragilities and catalyse the spread of terrorism and violent extremism conducive to terrorism. It is therefore imperative that counter- terrorism activities address social, humanitarian and security concerns simultaneously. The United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy provides important guidance in that respect. Providing support for the survivors of terrorism and their families must also be at the centre of any counter-terrorism policy. Brazil looks forward to the Global Congress of Victims of Terrorism, scheduled to take place in September.”

“Radicalization in prisons and prison-based recruitment are key drivers of the threat, and precarious detention conditions only compound such tragic situations. The prospect of safe, voluntary and dignified repatriation for such individuals, particularly women and children, may save them from violent extremism. The fate of children in the families of foreign terrorist fighters is particularly worrying. They are victims, not criminals, and the spectre of statelessness only worsens their vulnerability. Social exclusion, youth unemployment, xenophobia, discrimination and prejudice lie at the heart of terrorism. It is not a surprise, then, that the report cites examples of how Da’esh manages to swell its ranks by offering better pay to people in need.”

“On the other hand, the report illustrates how terrorist groups may seek to resort to attacks outside conflict zones, with a view to attracting greater attention and support. To fight terrorism effectively, we must also understand why some people are vulnerable to terrorist ideology. The situation of foreign terrorist fighters and their family members in detention camps in the Syrian Arab Republic remains worrisome. The humanitarian and human rights implications affect international security, hinder deradicalization initiatives and risk feeding into terrorist narratives. Respect for international human rights, international humanitarian law and refugee law constitutes not only a legal and moral obligation but is the core of any strategy that aspires to succeed in combating terrorism.”

“I would like to thank the Chinese presidency for organizing today’s timely briefing. I also want to thank Mr. Voronkov, Under-Secretary-General for Counter-Terrorism, Mr. Chen, Acting Executive Director of the Counter- Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, and Mr. Ewi, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Security Studies, for their detailed and comprehensive briefings. On one hand, the Secretary-General’s report (S/2022/576) shows that the threat of terrorism is higher in conflict-affected settings, reminding us that terrorism and armed conflict mutually reinforce each other. That overlap can be addressed only by comprehensive strategies, which must take into account the root causes of both conflict and the radicalization that is conducive to terrorism.”

“Brazil reiterates its resolute support for a two-State solution, within the framework of international law and the resolutions of the Council. That is the only way to meet the aspirations of the Israeli and Palestinian peoples and to ensure the security of all.”

“Brazil reiterates its agreement with the assessment that merely managing this conflict in perpetuity is not a viable option. We can no longer afford the high costs of perpetual cycles of violence. Without a political perspective and respect for international law, the same causes will produce the same effects, the cycles of violence will continue to follow one another and the civilian population will continue to bear the brunt of it all. The Security Council bears a heavy responsibility to live up to its mandate and the expectations of people affected by the conflict. Brazil will continue its efforts to contribute to Security Council action and to finding solutions. The Council must now engage in support of the efforts to relaunch the political process and address urgent questions such as the issue of detainees.”

“This latest escalation of violence underlines the urgent need to make progress towards a just and sustainable political solution to the conflict and address its driving forces. While the challenges in Gaza and the conflict as a whole require political solutions, economic growth also remains vital to give hope to the Palestinian people, while intra-Palestinian reconciliation is a crucial step towards stabilization and a resumption of genuine dialogue within the framework of the peace process. The safety and security of religious sites are an essential component of freedom of religion and belief and should be preserved at all costs. Upholding the status quo of the holy sites is fundamental, as is maintaining the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’s special role as custodian of Muslim holy places.”

“Brazil would like to thank Mr. Wennesland for his detailed and valuable briefing. We express our condolences to the families of those who were killed and injured in the recent cycle of violence. At the outset, Brazil joins others in welcoming the Egypt-brokered ceasefire announced yesterday. We thank Egypt for its crucial efforts, as well as all those — especially Mr. Wennesland — who have worked to bring some calm and de-escalate the situation on the ground. It is now imperative that the ceasefire be fully implemented and respected by all parties. The ceasefire must ultimately be accompanied by an easing of tensions throughout the Palestinian territory and in Israel. All provocations and all incitement to hatred and violence must stop. Brazil condemns all attacks against civilians.”

“Hence the respect for ethnic and cultural diversity, growing participation by women in peace and development efforts, the advancement of material well-being, the protection of political rights and civil liberties and the adaptation of the national security architecture to ensure that the safety of all citizens are some of the values that underpin effective institutions.”

“We welcome the steps taken to deepen the partnerships between the United Nations and the African Union on peace and security. We also encourage further collaboration among the United Nations, the African Union and subregional bodies in conflict prevention. In States and societies that have managed to overcome war and widespread conflict, a common thread has been the ability to adopt effective public policies through solid national institutions. And the fabric of the institutions is made up of shared values.”

“Technical cooperation, notably South-South cooperation, plays a key role in capacity-building. Members elected from the General Assembly, the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council, in addition to top financial and troop- contributing countries, conferred legitimacy on the PBC. The PBC’s accumulated experience in promoting national ownership, inclusivity and institution-building also provides useful guidelines for societies that seek prosperity and security as their way forward. The third aspect is the challenge of sustaining peace. A comprehensive approach to sustaining peace encompasses all efforts to prevent relapse into conflict. We therefore have solid reasons to place strong emphasis on conflict prevention as a key guideline for peace and security capacities in Africa.”

“The second aspect is the means to reach those aspirations that I quoted from the from Agenda 2063. In that regard, we must recognize that the conditions for economic and social development have been denied to the societies of Africa, as indeed to the majority of the developing countries. Official development assistance — be it multilateral or bilateral, humanitarian- or development-driven — is important, but essentially a stop-gap solution. What developing countries, and those in Africa in particular, need is a global economic, financial and trade architecture that allows them to fulfil their potential. In that context, the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) is uniquely placed as an enabler to mobilize international attention and support to nationally defined peacebuilding priorities, both in terms of financing and expertise.”

“It is refreshing to note in this study that the people of Africa and its diaspora have committed to act together to achieve — as two of their main aspirations — a prosperous Africa, based on inclusive growth and sustainable development, and a peaceful and secure Africa. In fact, they also recognize that a prosperous, integrated and united Africa based on good governance, democracy, social inclusion and respect for human rights, justice and the rule of law are necessary preconditions for a peaceful and conflict-free continent. Therein lies the very core of the issue we are debating today. Security and development are closely interlinked and mutually reinforcing. Sustaining peace therefore requires a comprehensive and integrated approach in order to address the economic, political and social dimensions of conflict.”

“Let me begin by thanking China for organizing this open debate and for its commitment to keep the collaboration between the Security Council and the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) as a central topic on our agenda. I also thank Ambassador Adeoye, Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser Duarte and Ambassador Muhith. Capacity-building is indeed a fundamental pillar of sustainable peace. In my statement, I will focus on three main aspects. The first one is a much-needed overview of the basic aspirations shared in Africa by all of its people concerning their peace and security. A useful point of departure is Agenda 2063, the pioneering report published by the African Union Commission whose subtitle is simply “The Africa we want”.”

Before adjourning the meeting, as this is the last scheduled meeting of the Council for the month of July, I would like to express the sincere appreciation of the delegation of Brazil to the members of the Council and the Secretariat of the Council for all the support they have given us. It has indeed been a busy month, and one in which we rallied to consensus on several important issues within our purview. We could not have done it alone or without the hard work, support and positive contributions of every delegation and the representatives of the Secretariat, including the conference-service officers, interpreters, translators, verbatim reporters and security staff.”

“Their voices can indeed make a meaningful contribution to the process, not only because of their legitimacy, but also primarily because they offer us a perspective that considers the peace and security situation in the Central African Republic on its own merits. That approach should be at the core of our work, or the Council runs the risk of new failures in the fulfilment of its mandate whenever it allows political considerations other than those pertaining to the context on the ground to interfere. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. The Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Central African Republic has asked to make a further statement. I now give her the floor.”

The renewal of the Central African Republic sanctions regime in resolution 2648 (2022), just adopted by the Council, keeps in place important mechanisms, such as the system of benchmarks and the work of the Panel of Experts, to help guide the country towards stabilization and durable peace. It also addresses — though only partially — the assessments and claims of the Central African authorities, the African Union and other regional organizations, whose views are equally important.”

“In a politically and institutionally fractured society, as Libya is today, fear of what comes next, after the elections, may be adding to the complex causes that have brought progress to a standstill. We urge the Libyan actors to agree on the outstanding issues regarding the organization of elections, and we have taken note of the Libyan constitutional track committee meetings held in Cairo and Geneva over the past months. But we also believe that the Council could remind the parties that peacebuilding efforts will necessarily have to follow. In that regard, Brazil acknowledges the role that the Peacebuilding Commission can play in assisting countries’ efforts to implement their peacebuilding priorities, mobilize international attention and promote the coordination and coherence of international assistance.”

“From our perspective, there are two important dynamics in Libya that the Council has the authority and responsibility to influence in a positive way. One is UNSMIL’s capacity to engage with the relevant actors. With the understanding that the Mission’s mandate, one way or another, is going to be renewed in the coming days, Brazil considers that the appointment of an UNSMIL leader is key to its adequate functioning. We therefore call upon the Secretary- General and Council members to engage constructively in that endeavour, taking into account the fact that UNSMIL is a Mission created by the Council and therefore accountable to it. The second dynamic that the Council could impact positively is the inclination of the Libyan political forces to engage among themselves.”

“We are thankful for the mediation efforts and good offices that UNSMIL has provided to the Libyan political actors, including during times when the Mission has had shorter mandates. We acknowledge that despite a less-than-optimal provisional arrangement regarding the Mission’s leadership since the departure of its last formal Head, UNSMIL has still been able to foster dialogue between the parties on a number of issues. Progress on the security track through dialogue within the 5+5 Joint Military Commission is but one example. But as the Council examines the renewal of UNSMIL’s mandate, there is also a need for further dialogue within the Council. A question we could ask is: how can we reinvigorate political dialogue in Libya, without foreign interference, and pave the way for a truly Libyan-led and Libyan-owned political settlement?”

I want to conclude by thanking Special Envoy Pedersen once more for his continuing efforts to move us away from the current stalemate in the realization of the political process envisioned in resolution 2254 (2015). We also commend him for his efforts to continue involving the Syrian Women’s Advisory Board in the peace process. A political agreement cannot be sustainable if women’s voices are not heard.”

The recent news about the exchange of prisoners in the framework of the Astana process is welcome. Brazil would like to thank all those involved in the negotiations that led to that agreement and all those who are working to implement it. I reiterate Brazil’s position, which has remained unchanged since 2011: only a Syrian-owned and -led United Nations-facilitated process, with due regard for preserving Syria’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, will alleviate the immeasurable suffering that this conflict has inflicted. A military solution remains elusive, and unilateral sanctions will lead only to more violence and broader volatility in the region.”
