  1. “MINUSMA’s strategic communications capabilities should be strengthened in order to maintain its ability to achieve its political protection and humanitarian goals. Brazil welcomes the commitment of the Secretary-General to mainstreaming strategic communications into both planning and day- to-day operational decisions of missions, including MINUSMA, as he stated in his Action for Peacekeeping Plus plan.”

  2. “In June, the Council will discuss the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). Recent developments, which include the withdrawal of troops from Operation Barkhane and the Takuba Task Force, have significantly altered the conditions on the ground. Brazil considers that it is essential to ensure that MINUSMA has the necessary resources to support the implementation of the peace agreement and the political transition, as well as to protect civilians and support the restoration of the authority of the Malian State in the centre. Finally, Brazil welcomes MINUSMA’s initiatives to improve communication with the Malian population about its mandate and activities.”

  3. “Accordingly, Brazil urges the Malian transitional authorities to finalize the comprehensive politically led strategy for the centre and highlights the importance of expediting progress on the development zone in the northern regions of the country. We urge the transitional authorities to collaborate with the Economic Community of West African States so that sanctions imposed in response to the postponement of the elections may be lifted in the near future. Mali is already suffering from the negative impact of other conflicts on food prices, and there is a real risk that the current situation will turn into a humanitarian catastrophe. We must highlight the plight of the more than 960,000 children under the age of five who are at risk of acute malnutrition.”

  4. “We encourage the transitional authorities and other political forces in Mali to fulfil their commitments set forth in the peace agreement and accelerate the implementation of its provisions, such as the reintegration of former combatants. We also support the holding of elections within an acceptable and realistic time frame so that the transitional period does not last longer than necessary. The violence of recent weeks and the stagnation of the political process must not make us lose sight of the root causes of the conflict. The eventual success of stabilization and reconciliation efforts depends on addressing Mali’s development needs, especially in the north and the centre of the country.”

  5. “It is also important to note that the presence of foreign mercenaries on the ground is not a solution, much less a sustainable solution, to the security situation, and it might increase the risk of human rights violations, illegal exploitation of natural resources and political instability, as has been observed in crises unfolding elsewhere. The current level of violence is directly related to the near-paralysis in the implementation of the Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in Mali resulting from the Algiers process. Further, the postponement of the return to the constitutional framework and the absence of an acceptable time frame for elections threaten the credibility of the reconciliation process in a scenario that becomes more complex with the presence of terrorist groups and signs of a worsening humanitarian situation.”

  6. “Brazil understands the seriousness of the terrorist threat in the Sahel and supports the efforts of the Malian transitional authorities in coordination with the Group of Five for the Sahel Joint Force in the fight against terrorist groups. But the human rights of the Malian population must not be compromised in the name of the fight against terrorism. We take note of the decision by the Malian transitional authorities to launch an investigation into reports of summary executions of civilians in Moura allegedly carried out by members of the Malian armed forces with the support of foreign fighters. If the allegations are confirmed, it is essential that those involved answer for their actions in order to ensure that such abuses do not happen again.”

  7. “At the outset, let me thank Special Representative of the Secretary- General Wane and Ms. Samaké for their briefings and welcome the presence of the Permanent Representative of Mali to this meeting. Recent reports of the Secretary-General on the situation in Mali document a worrying dynamic, the persistence of high levels of violence and limited progress in the political process. It is painful to note that this trend was accentuated in the period covered by the latest report (S/2022/278). Of particular concern are accounts of serious human rights violations and a significant increase in the number of grave violations against children.”
