  2. “We welcome the decision of the African Union Peace and Security Council and the commitment of the United Nations Security Council to the enhancement of the AUHIP-led negotiations process through the active participation of the United Nations, the Chairman of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and other international partners. We appeal to the United Nations and its Member States to urgently mobilize humanitarian assistance for the population affected by the Sudan's continuous aerial bombardments and ground incursions in the northern states of South Sudan, as well as for those tens of thousands of civilians displaced by the Sudan Armed Forces' invasion and occupation of the Abyei area in May 2011.”

  3. “It is my privilege to reaffirm that, in compliance with the decisions of the African Union Peace and Security Council and the Security Council's presidential statement, and in the spirit of our commitment to peace, my Government ordered the withdrawal of our police force from the Abyei area on 28 April 2012. We expect the international community to exert efforts to ensure the immediate and complete withdrawal of the Sudan Armed Forces from the Abyei area. As acknowledged formally by the African Union, my Government is already committed to the cessation of hostilities and the resumption of negotiations under the auspices of the African Union High-level Implementation Panel (AUHIP).”

  4. “First, I would like to congratulate the representative of Azerbaijan on his assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of May.

On behalf of my Government, I would like to formally express my appreciation for the adoption of resolution 2046 (2012) and state our solemn commitment to comply with its mandated provisions.”

  5. “It is my hope that, as Northern and Southern Sudan embark on a new journey, we will have the chance to convey important lessons to the rest of our continent about establishing genuine and lasting peace after a period of war, and about building successful States that provide peace, stability and prosperity for all.”

  6. “But their future is in their hands, their triumphs shall be theirs, and the success they have achieved thus far will continue to move us forward. We are confident that, with the continued support of the international community, the new independent Southern Sudanese State that will emerge on 9 July will be one that grows in strength and capacity with every passing year. This is a decisive moment for Sudan. We are conscious that the referendum is not the end point, but rather provides for a new beginning, and that much work remains to be done.”

  7. “The Government of Southern Sudan would welcome additional efforts on the part of donors to coordinate such assistance as far as possible. The Government of Southern Sudan is also considering the possibility of our inclusion on the agenda of the Peacebuilding Commission. We will consider this in the context of a coordinated and comprehensive approach to the issues of security, peace and development in Southern Sudan. Separately, the Government of Southern Sudan would also welcome early international action on the issue of the Sudan's international debt. Of course there will be challenges ahead, and our people will need to be reminded that raising the Southern Sudanese flag on 9 July does not mean that the hard work is over.”

  8. “While we believe that South Sudan itself should have the primary responsibility for the protection of civilians, we envisage that the United Nations and the international community could play a supporting role in this regard, particularly in relation to the risk of insecurity in the border areas and the protection of returnees. The Government of Southern Sudan's primary focus will be to achieve peace and security through the economic development of South Sudan, and it will work to build the necessary human and physical infrastructure to achieve this. We welcome the continued international support for the implementation of South Sudan's national development strategy. We support calls for the convening of a donors' conference to promote a coherent and coordinated effort among prospective donors.”

  9. “The Government of Southern Sudan particularly appreciates the critical role that the United Nations Mission in the Sudan has played in support of the referendum and in the provision of security in the border areas. The Government of Southern Sudan wishes to see a continued United Nations presence in South Sudan after July 2011. The Government of Southern Sudan looks forward to participating in all relevant discussions, both formal and informal, on the mandate for the continued United Nations presence. We believe that, after July, the United Nations peacekeeping presence should have a strong focus on maintaining peace and security in the border regions. The United Nations presence should also provide humanitarian assistance for Southerners returning from the North.”

  10. “Of course, regardless of the status of its accession to treaties, the new State shall uphold the principles of the United Nations Charter and the rights and duties affirmed in all relevant international human rights instruments. The Government of South Sudan will vigorously continue the fight against corruption and will institute all necessary measures to stamp it out. We are also committed to reflecting international human rights norms in our national structures and Government institutions. South Sudan will be not just the world's newest State, but its newest democracy, and we are committed to Government that reflects the will of the people. We very much welcome the support of the international community in these efforts.”

  11. “We have already established a technical committee to review the interim constitution of Southern Sudan. This will be followed by the establishment of a constitutional conference. Following independence, the Government of Southern Sudan will establish a broad-based Government of national unity in the South, promulgate a new constitution, and schedule national elections. Also following independence, the Government of Southern Sudan will apply for membership in the relevant regional and international organizations and international financial institutions. South Sudan shall undertake a review of international treaties, conventions and agreements with a view towards acceding to such agreements upon achieving statehood. We will pay particular attention to the international human rights instruments and international humanitarian law.”

  12. “We believe that all parties should come to the negotiating table. We do not support a military solution. It is not in the interest of Southern Sudan to encourage war in any area of the Sudan, since we are now enjoying the fruits of a peace that we would like our brothers and sisters in Darfur and all other parts of the country to enjoy as well. Now that the formidable burdens associated with preparing for the referendum have passed, the Government of Southern Sudan is actively preparing for the responsibilities of statehood by continuing our work on good governance, institution-building and the establishment of a multiparty democracy. The peaceful conduct of the referendum serves as a demonstration of our capabilities and of the maturity of our citizens.”

  13. “Separately, the South is fully committed to respecting and protecting the grazing rights of Misseriya nomads and other livestock-keepers in Southern Sudan. Those rights will be protected irrespective of the status of Abyei. Despite the challenges we face on this issue, we are optimistic that with the continued support of President Thabo Mbeki, the United States Special Envoy General Scott Gration and the African Union High-level Implementation Panel, the Abyei issue shall be resolved definitively. The Government of Southern Sudan welcomes the start of the popular consultation process in Blue Nile and calls for such a process to be started in Southern Kordofan as well. We are committed to assisting our partners in the NCP to find a just and fair political settlement for Darfur.”

  14. “The terms of the Abyei Protocol, as well as those of the award of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, have very clearly set out the legal obligations of both parties to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement with respect to Abyei. Although the recent regrettable security incidents have been addressed, it is clear that a final and lasting solution on Abyei must be found, and found quickly. During the last meeting of the presidency, North and South Sudan committed to reaching an early agreement on Abyei. We remain ready to start work immediately with the National Congress Party to resolve the impasse. We continue to see two possible outcomes: either the holding of a referendum consistent with the provisions of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement or a transfer of Abyei by presidential decree to the South.”

  15. “While we will proceed along separate paths, both parties have a joint responsibility to all the peoples of the Sudan to guarantee a peaceful and prosperous future. We believe that this will be achieved by establishing mutual respect and cooperation between Northern and Southern Sudan. We have no interest in returning to the hostilities and divisions of the past. It is our most sincere wish to achieve peaceful coexistence between North and South, to enable all of our peoples to live in security and prosperity. We welcome the Security Council's continued support of this process. The Government of Southern Sudan, on behalf of the people of Abyei, would like to express its deep disappointment that the referendum required by the Comprehensive Peace Agreement on Abyei did not take place.”

  16. “Building a sustainable and lasting peace for all of the people of the Sudan remains our top priority. We are therefore ready to re-engage vigorously with our partner the National Congress Party (NCP) on critical post-referendum issues, including oil revenue flows, citizenship, protection of our populations and border security. Clarity on all outstanding issues is essential to maintaining stability and progress throughout the region, although in accordance with the provisions of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, the resolution of those issues is not a precondition for the emergence of an independent State in South Sudan, which will become a reality at the end of the interim period.”

  17. “In this context, we welcome the formal acceptance of the final results of the referendum by President Omer Hassan Al-Bashir and the Government of the Sudan, and the commitment to establish two mutually supportive States, at peace with one another, following the end of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement interim period. We also wish to acknowledge the contribution of the people of Northern Sudan to the successful conduct of the referendum, as well as their support for the acceptance of the results. We also note and welcome initial moves being made by members of the international community to provide debt relief for the Republic of the Sudan. Our challenge now is to finalize the full implementation of the remaining provisions of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, to which we remain completely committed.”

  18. “The Government of Southern Sudan is satisfied that the conduct of the referendum was peaceful and that the referendum outcome reflects the true democratic will of the people of Southern Sudan. We can now say with confidence that the people have spoken, and they have clearly voted to establish an independent State in South Sudan. With this in mind, the Government of Southern Sudan calls on the Council and on the international community to recognize the results of the referendum in a timely fashion, to support the emergence of an independent South Sudan on 9 July and to recognize and accept the independent State immediately thereafter.”

  19. “I would also like to express my Government's gratitude for the significant contributions made by the United Nations, and by the United Nations Mission in the Sudan and the Secretary-General's Monitoring Panel in particular, to the safe and peaceful holding of the Southern Sudan referendum. The fact that the referendum was held on time and conducted peacefully is a major and historic achievement, of which we can all be proud. It is a testament both to the capability of the United Nations, as well as that of the Government of Southern Sudan. Most important, it is a manifestation of the maturity and commitment of all of our citizens to exercise their right to self-determination.”

  20. “Mr. Deng Alor Kuol: I am very grateful for the opportunity to address the Council following the official announcement of the final results of the referendum in Southern Sudan, and to put forward the views of the Government of Southern Sudan on behalf of all of our people. I would like to thank you, Madam President, for calling this meeting immediately following the announcement of the final results. This is an indication of the Council's continued support for the full implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) and its determination to remain fully engaged in the maintenance of peace and stability in the Sudan. I would like to thank the members of the Council for their tireless and continued efforts in this regard.”
