“If it is besieged enough, it could become the graveyard of the Vienna process, as there will be no lasting political solution or effective combating ofterrorism, while Syrian civilians continue to be massacred. As was stressed publicly by the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Jean-Marc Ayrault, France cannot close its eyes to the tragedy taking place in Aleppo. We cannot allow the Aleppo siege to continue without responding. Therefore, France has three demands. First of all, we formally call upon the allies of the regime, the members of the Security Council and the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) to assume their responsibilities so that the Syrian regime and its allies immediately stop their attacks on Aleppo.”

“The calendar provided for by resolution 2254 (2015) sets 1 August as the deadline for establishing a transitional authority with full executive powers. For the Security Council, respecting that deadline is a test of the real will of the regime and its supporters to reach a political solution. At our most recent consultations, Special Envoy De Mistura collectively informed us of the fact that, without any progress in the cessation of hostilities and the humanitarian situation, no credible resumption of the negotiations would be possible. As we now meet, this tragic scenario is indeed emerging. Aleppo has become Syria's martyred city.”

“The symbolic crossroads city of Aleppo, which is thousands of years old and is part of humankind's heritage, is a place where many countries have clashed and intermingled, leaving profound and diverse imprints on the city - again, today is a martyred town. This symbol of civilization is now being subjected to a medieval type of siege. What a downfall and, frankly, what a disgrace that is. There are still about 300,000 people living in besieged Aleppo, soon to be deprived of everything and at the mercy of the cruelty of the regime's militia. Therefore, I ask: Can the Security Council, 20 years after the siege of Sarajevo, passively accept the reprise of a war crime of such barbarous tactics? Those responsible for those crimes must not go unpunished.”

“By observing and supporting the regime's attitude, some members of the Security Council are jeopardizing their responsibility and their credibility. The brutality has continued to worsen in Aleppo city and province. After experiencing indiscriminate attacks and daily barrel bomb attacks, the city of Aleppo is now being besieged. The Castello road, which was the last accessible route to provide it with water, provisions and medicines, has been cut off by the regime's allied forces. In many respects Aleppo is for Syria what Sarajevo was for Bosnia. It is a crossroads city, a martyred city.”

“The agreement on the cessation of hostilities, as we feared, was just a smoke screen to hide with the utmost cynicism an exclusively military strategy, which aimed, under the pretext of combating the Al-Nusra Front, to encircle all the areas held by the opposition. What the regime cannot control, it seeks to destroy. Hospitals were destroyed just yesterday in Aleppo, in total violation of international humanitarian law and resolution 2286 (2016), which we adopted by consensus a few weeks ago. During this entire time, the regime has continued to violate Security Council resolutions, international humanitarian law and the most basic humanitarian principles. It has continued to attack civilian populations and non-terrorist armed groups.”

“Mr. Delattre (France) (spoke in French): Last February, the adoption of the cessation of hostilities agreement provided a spark of hope for a reduction in violence that would open the way to an emergence from the crisis and to the negotiation ofa political transition in Syria. Two months later, at the end of April, the regime, supported by its allies, began its attack on Aleppo and extinguished that hope. At that time, France, together with the United Kingdom, took the initiative to bring the Security Council together on 4 May (see S/PV.7687) to denounce the tragic situation being faced by Aleppo and the hundreds of thousands of inhabitants who were still living there. The regime, with the complicity ofits allies, hadjust launched an offensive that sounded the death knell for a cessation of hostilities.”

“Mr. Delattre (France) (spoke in French): France welcomes the adoption of resolution 2298 (2016), drafted by the Mission of the United Kingdom, which we thank. It was the culmination of work conducted in close cooperation with the Libyan authorities and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. It also represents an important step in guaranteeing the security of Libya and of the region, particularly with regard to the risk posed by non-State actors. More generally speaking, it is positive step forward for the non-proliferation-of-chemical-weapons regime. The meeting rose at 3.25 pm.”

“France also believes that e-working methods and management must not result in, or serve as a pretext for, diminishing the status accorded to each of the official languages and working languages. It was France that, in December 1994, organized the first Council debate on its working methods (see S/PV.3483). We have come long way since then, but we still have a long way to go. We are confident that, under the leadership of Japan, we will continue to move forward together to make the Council a body that is both more efficient and more transparent and in the service of all.”

“That statement usefully inspired Malaysia's consideration as Chair of the Working Group, prior to the adoption of resolution 2225 (2015) in June. The same applies to this debate and the summary of the open debate in October 2015 provided by the Spanish delegation. Finally, last month, we organized under our presidency an interactive and relevant ministerial debate on the protection of civilians, for which there was no need to adopt a text. Let us vary the formats of our meetings with a view primarily towards collective efficacy, not statistics. Inconclusion-andthisismylastpoint-inclusiveness is an empty promise if it is not accompanied by a commitment to multilingualism, which is both an asset to our thinking and the necessary condition for truly participatory work.”

“Reviewing the reporting cycle and publication schedule could also contribute to such efficiency, as the Council still faces too many compulsory dates that clutter the agenda to the detriment of an effective and creative treatment hot crises. In other words, despite the urgent situations that remain, the Council must not give in to the routine of cycles and the illusion of productivism. We must not fall into the habit of necessarily concluding every meeting with a long-negotiated text, whose added value is sometimes limited. Favouring an innovative format, during our presidency in March 2015 we organized an open debate (see S/PV.7414) to more closely consider the issue of children in armed conflict. Solely in our national capacity, we limited ourselves to a statement ofthe ideas exchanged.”

“To give a recent example, before the adoption of resolution 2295 (2016), on the situation in Mali, in June under the French presidency of the Council, an informal interactive dialogue, including the Prime Minister of Mali, was held instead of consultations, which allowed Council members to clearly understand the stakes facing Malians in that important negotiation. This format will more generally inevitably have a knock-on effect on the interaction within the Council by encouraging shorter and more informative interventions, rather than just a juxtaposition ofstatic statements. In that the Council will find a considerable source for improving its efficiency.”

“Finally, recent developments with regard to the process for appointing the Secretary-General and concerning the relationship between the General Assembly and the Security Council should be welcomed. My third point will be dedicated to the issues of the continuum of peace and conflict prevention. The Council cannot but profit from the variety of partners in the informal interactive dialogues and so-called Arria Formula meetings. That allows it to expand its sources, to better inform its deliberations and to better anticipate through the use of informal formats and early warning so as to act as early as possible. A very important cultural change has taken place.”

“To that end, France considers it necessary to properly entrench the new pattern for electing non-permanent members in June and draw all of the consequences, namely, considering the Council's report to the General Assembly and increasing the time for newly elected members to become acquainted with the work of the Council and its subsidiary bodies. We welcome the recent adoption of the presidential note on that matter, and we congratulate the Japanese delegation for its efforts since January. In the same spirit, we welcome the Council's monthly wrap-up sessions in an open format in the Council Chamber, or under an interactive Toledo format as established by the Spanish presidency in October 2015.”

“France does not deem it necessary to modify presidential note S/2010/507 to a great degree - or to risk damaging the quality and continuity of the work of the Council - at a time replete with challenges and dangers, which should serve to mobilize all our diplomatic energies. France favours a constant legal codification of note 507 while incorporating the 13 new notes adopted since 2010, in addition to the one adopted last week, as well as presidential statements including those of October 2015 and February 2016, adopted, respectively, under the Spanish and Venezuelan presidencies. My second point is to emphasize the need for the Council to monitor and promote accountability for its actions before all States Members of the United Nations, in the spirit of Article 24 of the Charter of the United Nations.”

“Mr. Delattre (France) (spoke in French): By way of thanking you, Mr. President, allow me point out Japan's very welcome contribution to the methods of work of the Security Council, which reflects, Sir, your rigour and professionalism. As suggested in your thought- provoking concept note (S/2016/585), I shall focus on a few points. My first point is to recognize above all the profound evolution in the Council towards more transparency, which France welcomes, for the major debates of general interest are the business of all. However, that evolution has taken place at a time of unprecedented growth in the Council's work. I dwell on that point to emphasize the need to stabilize the procedures so that they are appropriate and can be evaluated.”

“Finally, we are equally concerned about information relating to travel abroad by Major General Qasem Soleimani, who is still subject to travel restrictions imposed by the Security Council, as confirmed by resolution 2231 (2015). We believe it is essential for international security and the stability of the region that Iran refrain from any destabilizing and dangerous activities. In conclusion, I appeal to all parties to redouble their efforts for the rigorous implementation of all the provisions of the Vienna agreement and resolution 2231 (2015). The Vienna agreement and the adoption of resolution 2231 (2015) will be a singular diplomatic success if the measures of the provisions are rigorously observed. France will ensure throughout the process that the Security Council remains quite vigilant.”

“In that regard, I thank the Secretary-General for his report, which is comprehensive, factual and balanced and lays the foundation for rigorous monitoring of the implementation of resolution 2231 (2015) in the coming years. Iran's destabilizing actions are numerous. I will listjust a few. Last March, Iran launched several ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons, contrary to the provisions of paragraph 3, annex B, of resolution 2231 (2015). France, in collaboration with its European 3+1 partners, has therefore notified the Security Council. In addition, the United States and France informed the Security Council of two Iranian weapons seizures, last June and July, respectively, constituting violations of paragraph 6 (b) of annex B of resolution 2231 (2015).”

“We have spared no effort to provide companies with the necessary clarifications on the lifting of sanctions, and will continue to do so. We call on all our partners to continue their efforts on that issue. However, I would like to point out that other factors also come into play when a business decides to invest in Iran. For the lifting of sanctions to be fully felt in the Iranian economy, it is also incumbent upon Tehran to create an environment of trust for businesses. I now come to my final point. We are concerned about the numerous reports on Iran's non-compliance on several important provisions of resolution 2231 (2015) over the course of the past six months. That information is detailed in the Secretary-General's report (S/2016/589) just presented to us.”

“That is why our two countries have held discussions on bilateral cooperation in the field of nuclear fusion, within the framework defined by the agreement. With regard to the lifting of sanctions, I wish to emphasize that we have met all our commitments under the Vienna agreement since the 16 January 2016 implementation date. The French Government, in line with its European Union partners, has provided all the necessary information and guidance on the scope of the sanctions that have been lifted. The lifting of sanctions is already beginning to bear fruit, as the resumption of Iran's oil exports, among other examples, attest. We also understand Iran's concerns about the slowness of the effects on its economy of lifting sanctions.”

“The International Atomic Energy Agency has continued its verification and surveillance activities of Iran's implementation of its commitments on the nuclear component under the Vienna agreement, and it has done so without any impediment. We will continue to ensure the rigorous implementation of all nuclear provisions under the Vienna agreement, which remains a priority for us. As required by the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Iran has the right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. The Vienna agreement has defined the framework for the development of civilian nuclear cooperation with Iran. France is committed to the implementation of the agreement in all its dimensions.”

“Mr. Delattre (France) (Spoke in French): I thank Jeffrey Feltman, the Permanent Representative of Spain and the head of the Delegation of the European Union for their briefings. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreed in Vienna and resolution 2231 (2015), which endorsed it, are a year old. At the time of their adoption, we paid tribute to an historic moment for international peace and security. After more than a decade of concern by the international community in facing the Iranian proliferation crisis, the Vienna agreement has paved the way for the re-establishment of trust in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear programme, thereby consolidating the non-proliferation regime. Where are we one year after the conclusion of the agreement?”

“Moreover, following up on certain considerations in the Arab Peace Initiative, to which the 3 June communique assigns a central role, need to be pursued. Finally, we will continue our dialogue with the parties to prepare the convening at the end of the year of an international conference with the parties. France is, of course, aware ofthe difficulties posed by this conflict, one in which so many efforts and so much goodwill have failed. We consider, however, that it is our collective responsibility not to give up and never to quit the fight. Our ambition is realistic. We are not claiming to be the only ones able to succeed where others have stumbled.”

“We are going to begin by working on the preparation of a package of incentives that could be proposed to the parties in the event of a peace accord, during which time France will play a role of flexible coordination. That work will permit, we hope, the inclusion of several countries that were not present at the Paris meeting. Naturally, all contributions of goodwill will be welcome. Work in various directions has been proposed, in particular economic incentives, the strengthening of Palestinian institutions and links between Israeli and Palestinian civil societies. That will, in turn, build on other ongoing efforts. In the first place, the implementation of the recommendations ofthe Quartet report will be essential in promoting rapid improvement on the ground.”

“Our initiative therefore seeks to build a consensus and promote a convergence of initiatives in order to recreate a climate conducive to successful dialogue. The activities of France and of the Quartet are mutually complementary. Their common objective is to seek the resumption of credible negotiations conducive to reaching a final status solution. The report of the Quartet is an important contribution to the remobilization of the international community on behalf of the peace process. Bearing in mind the eminent role of the Quartet, France and all its partners will therefore pursue its efforts in a flexible and inclusive way. The Paris meeting is only the beginning of a process that still requires a lot of collective efforts in three areas.”

“In a context in which the situation continues to deteriorate, our wish was to reiterate that this solution is the only possible outcome to the conflict and to thereby re-establish political prospects capable of halting and reversing the downward spiral that we have seen on the ground. The conclusions arising from the Paris meeting are especially clear on that point. The third advance obtained in Paris is the promotion of an international commitment to the relaunch and completion of dialogue between the parties. Everyone knows that only the Israelis and Palestinians will be able to make peace, but it is also necessary to recognize that conditions are not ripe today for a resumption of direct negotiations.”

“The first is political mobilization in favour of the peace process. For the first time since the Annapolis conference in 2007, an international meeting was held on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. That first meeting brought together 29 partners committed to peace. While the peace process has been partially overshadowed by the serious crises in the Middle East, our first goal was to put the conflict at the heart of our collective priorities. The Paris meeting contributed significantly to that end. The second advance was the collective reaffirmation of support for the two-State solution.”

“It would seem indisputable that without the resolute action of the parties and the international community, this solution would give way to other scenarios that would in no way guarantee a just and lasting settlement of the conflict and would, on the contrary, threaten to precipitate armed clashes. Faced with this relentless conclusion, our message in recent months has focused steadily on the needto recreate a political horizon to save the two-State solution. That is the only way to address the legitimate aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis to independence and security. The ministerial meeting held in Paris on 3 June marked the first stage of an international mobilization to save the two-State solution. That important meeting gave rise to three complementary advances.”

“While there is enough blame for this to go around, the Quartet report unequivocally confirms that Israeli settlement is one of the main threats to the very sustainability of a future Palestinian State. Acts of violence, incitement to violence and terrorism also undermine the prospect of two States - a State of Israel and a Palestinian State - living side by side in peace and security. Progress towards the inter-Palestinian reconciliation is indispensable. The second element - a mirror of the first 4 is the need to take steps to preserve the feasibility of the two-State solution through specific action.”

“Mr. Delattre (France) (spoke in French): France has for several months noted a trend that, unfortunately, has been increasingly confirmed. The status quo does not exist. It is but an illusion cloaking a daily backslide that we cannot accept. Given the humanitarian consequences of the situation on Palestinian and Israeli civilians, we must recognize the harsh reality on the ground that, if nothing is done, the fragile prospects of the two-State solution will disappear and the risk of widespread conflagration will grow. The Quartet report presented to the French presidency of the Security Council strengthened our assessment of the situation, based on two elements. The first is that the two-State solution is sorely threatened with disappearance. We must have the courage to say so.”

It has been a very busy month, and one in which we rallied to consensus on several important issues within our purview. We could not have done it alone, of course, or without the hard work, support and positive contribution of every delegation and the representatives of the Secretariat, as well as the relevant conference service officers.”

It is crucial that countries with those capabilities respond to that appeal. With regard to its mandate, through resolution 2295 (2016) the Security Council has given MINUSMA the most robust mandate possible in a terrorist environment. It authorizes MINUSMA to use all necessary means to prevent and counter asymmetric threats to civilians and peacekeepers themselves. By adopting resolution 2295 (2016), the Security Council is fully exercising its responsibility for international peace and security. The Security Council is assuming its responsibility by reminding the people of Mali that it stands alongside them on the path to peace.”

In that regard, I reiterate our condolences for all those who have given their lives in their commitment to MINUSMA. Through resolution 2295 (2016), we have decided to provide MINUSMA with all means necessary to enable it to adapt to this environment. The protection of civilians and the safety of the peacekeepers in Mali is our top priority. More specifically, the Security Council is strengthening MINUSMA on two levels. First of all, with respect to the means at its disposal, we have decided to deploy 2,500 additional troops and police within MINUSMA. This major increase in the force will make it possible to deploy specialized European military units.”

The Security Council strengthens MINUSMA to enable it to adapt to its unique security environment. The Security Council has heard the urgent request made by the Malian President and the Heads of State of West African States, whose soldiers are risking their lives as peacekeepers in Mali.

I would like to begin by extending France's condolences to and solidarity with Turkey after the terrible attack that took place in Istanbul yesterday, which we vigorously condemn. By adopting resolution 2295 (2016) today, the Security Council has decided to move in two major directions. First, the Security Council requests the Malian Government and the signatory armed groups to accelerate the practical implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali.

“The support of the United Nations in particular remains crucial, particularly in the provision to the population of basic services and international assistance. France is particularly committed to UNAMA's good-offices role. Resolution 2274 (2016), adopted in March, allowed the international community to reassert its determination to maintain its support for Afghanistan. It is essential that the United Nations continue to have the resources necessary to achieve the objectives set out in the resolution. The NATO Summit, to be held in Warsaw on 8 and 9 July, and the Brussels conference on Afghanistan, to be held on 5 October, must reaffirm the international community's support to Afghanistan and the process that led to the National Unity Government.”

“France also calls upon all countries of the region to actively support the stabilization of Afghanistan and to contribute positively to the establishment of lasting peace in the country. In that context, prospects for an economic opening towards Central Asia and Iran are positive. The illicit economy, corruption and the production and trafficking of drugs must be actively combated by Afghanistan and its regional partners, because these are also major obstacles to the re-establishment of security in and the development of the country. Thirdly, and finally, this fragile context makes the international community's support for Afghanistan even more important in order to help the country make progress towards greater stability, prosperity and democracy.”
