  1. “If we want to be successful, this mandate should be accompanied by a significant strengthening of the capacity and equipment of the Mission; in particular, however, it is essential for the parties to accelerate the implementation of the Peace Agreement, which we continue to consider the best opportunity for Mali to achieve peace and security in a lasting way. Finally, I would like to thank France for its leadership and efficiency in helping the Council reach an agreement on such a solid text. We would also like to highlight the importance we attach to the inclusion of a focus on women and peace and security in a crosscutting way throughout the text. That inclusion fulfils the promise that the Council members made to the Malian women's organizations that we interviewed in March.”

  2. “Blue Helmets will now be able to carry out operations to anticipate, deter and combat asymmetric threats against civilians in legitimate defence and in defence of their mandate. This is an important step. It demonstrates the Council's commitment to peace in Mali. It is also an acknowledgement of troop-contributing countries, whose men and women risk their lives and who now have a mandate that will put them in a better position to act in an extremely hostile environment. However, the resolution is not the end, but rather the beginning of what should be a new chapter.”

  3. “Mr. De la Calle Garcia (Spain) (spoke in Spanish): Spain welcomes the adoption of resolution 2295 (2016), which it co-sponsored. The resolution is the Security Council's response to the unanimous request received from the Government, the signatory parties of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali, civil society, troop-contributing countries and the political stakeholders during the Council's visit to Mali in March. It is a request for the strengthening of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). In this resolution, the Security Council has tried to define an appropriate framework and authorization of force in a peacekeeping operation in a climate of asymmetric attacks.”

  4. “Consolidating that process and re-establishing an independent legal system committed to justice is essential to rebuilding a State based on the rule of law and respect for human rights. The end of impunity must be incorporated into the process of reconstructing the country. We must not forget that impunity is incompatible with sustainable and lasting peace. It is only recognizing the facts, dealing with those who are guilty and providing reparations to the victims that will bring the genuine reconcilation that will allow Libyan society to look to the future.”

  5. “Moreover, with regard to foreign terrorist fighters enlisted in Da'esh and its affiliates, all States must honour their obligations under resolution 2238 (2015). Libya's situation remains critical, but in recent months, since the approval of the Libyan Political Agreement, we have seen progress that allows us a degree of optimism for the first time. We recognize the work of the Special Representative and of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya. We call on all political actors in Libya to join the process being led by the Presidency Council of the Government of National Accord in a constructive manner. It is vital that we pursue our efforts to ensure the implementation of the Agreement, and in particular to strengthen the foundation of support for the Government of National Accord.”

  6. “We call not only on the Court to pursue its investigation, including of crimes committed since 2014, but also on the Libyan institutions, particularly the Prosecutor General, the tribunals and civil society, which must all participate in the process and resolve to bring the guilty parties to justice. In that regard, we cannot fail to commend all the men and women who, at the risk of their lives, continue to assist in documenting abuses and raising their voices to denounce them. The ICC should also enjoy the Security Council's support. We recall that resolution 1970 (2011) calls on all States and international organizations to cooperate with the Court. Combating impunity is the responsibility of all.”

  7. “We are very concerned that armed groups and militias continue to act unchecked and that Da'esh and its affiliates, as in Syria and Iraq, are going nowhere and determined to impose their reign of barbarism and terror. Each and every one of the allegations of extrajudicial executions, kidnappings, disappearances, torture, attacks on human rights activists and journalists, and abuses against immigrants must be investigated and prosecuted, no matter who is responsible. Impunity simply cannot be tolerated. In that regard, we see it as a positive sign that the allegations of torture against Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi and Abdullah Al-Senussi are being investigated and that a determined effort is being made to deal with those responsible.”

  8. “The costs of referrals continue to be supported only by the States parties to the Rome Statute, and the Relationship Agreement between the Court and the United Nations continues not to be implemented. It should be recalled that the first recommendation of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in his report on the investigations in Libya concern the issue of supporting the Court, in particular providing the Prosecutor's Office with the necessary resources. The most recent report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (S/2016/452) shows an unacceptable level of violations of international humanitarian law and abuses of human rights on the part of all parties.”

  9. “The current complex situation complicates Libya's ability to honour its obligations, but we hope that when the proper conditions prevail, the Government of National Accord will surrender those individuals without delay. The responsibility to cooperate fully with the Court and its Prosecutor remains in effect and now falls on the shoulders of the Government of National Accord, as the Council laid out in resolution 2259 (2015). It is appropriate to acknowledge the dialogue that the Libyan authorities have maintained and continue to maintain with the Court, and in particular the cooperation with the Prosecutor and her Office, despite the difficulties generated by instability and insecurity. We are aware of the difficulties that the limited resources of the Prosecutor's Office place on her investigation.”

  10. “Mr. De la Calle Garcia (Spain) (spoke in Spanish): Once again, it is an honour to have the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) present. We thank her for providing updated information that will help in the implementation of resolution 1970 (2011). Spain wishes to reiterate its acknowledgement of the importance of the work of the Court and particularly that of its Prosecutor. We are aware that this work often takes place in conditions that are very difficult for the members of her Office. We note and welcome the update on the cases against Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi and Abdullah Al-Senussi. We recall that the warrant for SaifAl-Islam Al-Qadhafi has never been executed.”
