“Mr. Djedje (Cete d'Ivoire) (spoke in French): My delegation would like to thank the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Ms. Fatou Bensouda, for her biannual briefing on the Court's activity on cases relating to the situation in Libya. The difficulties encountered by the Prosecutor in executing various arrest warrants show the complexity of the situation in Libya, as well as the need for continued support from the international community for the ICC's efforts to combat impunity following the events in 2011, the negative effects ofwhich continue to destabilize the entire region. For its part, Cote d'Ivoire, as a State party to the Rome Statute, reaffirms its full support for the efforts of the International Criminal Court to promote international justice and combat impunity both in Libya and throughout the world.”

“In conclusion, my country calls on Members of the United Nations, in particular the countries of the region, to ensure strict compliance with the sanctions imposed on South Sudan. That would contribute to bringing stability to a country devastated by conflict that has gone on too long.”

“Cote d'Ivoire continues to believe that the establishment and operationalization of the Hybrid Court will contribute to bringing about peace and decreasing human rights violations. We welcome the release by armed groups of more than 200 children on 17 April. While we remind all those involved in the South Sudan conflict that the recruitment or use of children in armed conflicts is prohibited, my country urges them to do more to protect children and to speed up the release of those who remain in their charge. My country congratulates you, Madam, for the work that you have done in your capacity as Chair of the 2206 Committee and reaffirms its support for your forthcoming visit to South Sudan and other countries in the region.”

“In that regard, my country firmly condemns the detention of humanitarian workers, as well as any other act aimed at preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid. With regard to the human rights situation, Cote d'Ivoire is concerned about allegations of continued human rights violations and the destruction of property and the livelihoods of the people. My country encourages the South Sudan Transitional Government of National Unity and the African Union Commission to step up the establishment of the Hybrid Court of South Sudan, responsible for prosecuting those responsible for crimes under the 2015 Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan.”

“Concerning the humanitarian dimension, Cote d'Ivoire is concerned about the escalation of violence and clashes in certain areas, which has led to the displacement of thousands of people and hindered humanitarian work. With more than 4 million displaced persons and refugees and more than 7 million people at risk of food insecurity, the humanitarian situation in South Sudan is one of the most dire of its kind in the world. Given that, it is urgent that the international community and humanitarian organizations be allowed to respond to humanitarian needs and provide assistance to those populations in urgent need within a secure environment. My delegation reiterates its appeal to the various parties to respect unconditionally the agreement of 21 December 2017, which demands, inter alia, unhindered access for humanitarian workers.”

“Despite the fact that the parties to the conflict signed the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities, Protection of Civilians and Humanitarian Access on 21 December 2017 and their renewed commitment to respect it during the second phase of the Revitalization Forum on the peace process in February, the protection of civilians and humanitarian access are significant challenges that need to be addressed. My delegation is concerned about continuing clashes and reports of high levels of violence in Unity, Jonglei and Equatoria states. It is also concerned about the magnitude of the ethnic dimension of the conflict. My country therefore calls on the warring parties to cease hostilities and to respect the commitments made during the first two phases of the High-level Revitalization Forum on the peace process.”

“My country urges the parties to demonstrate political will and become meaningfully involved in finding a political solution so as reach sustainable agreements on sharing power among members of the Transitional Government of National Unity and on security issues at the third phase of the Revitalization Forum, to be held from 17 to 21 May 2018 - in less than 10 days - in Addis Ababa. The people of South Sudan have suffered for too long and deserve peace and stability at long last. It is time for the parties to the conflict to give the peace process a meaningful chance. Concerning the security situation, it is clear that, almost five years since the conflict in South Sudan began, the security situation remains worrisome.”

“My delegation welcomes the diplomatic efforts of Ambassador Wais, as well as those of the representatives of the IGAD Council of Ministers, aimed at holding consultations with the parties to the conflict so as to overcome their differences and thereby facilitate discussions during the resumption of the High-level Revitalization Forum on the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan. C6te d'Ivoire hopes that those consultations will enable actors to reconcile their differences concerning the governance and security issues that came up during the second phase of the Revitalization Forum, held in Addis Ababa from 5 to 16 February.”

“My statement will focus on the following issues: the political process, the security situation, the humanitarian situation and the human rights situation in South Sudan. Concerning the political process, my delegation regrets the lack of genuine commitment by the parties to the conflict to search for a viable solution to the crisis in South Sudan, despite repeated calls from the international community and initiatives taken by IGAD, which Cote d'Ivoire commends for its tireless work.”

“Mr. Djedje (C6te d'Ivoire) (spoke in French): My delegation thanks Mr. Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Under- Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations; Ambassador Ismail Wais, Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Special Envoy for South Sudan; and Ms. Nasiwa, for their respective briefings on the situation in South Sudan. We also thank you, Madam President, in your capacity as Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 2206 (2015), concerning South Sudan, for your briefing on the Committee's activities within the framework of the implementation of the sanctions regime involving that country. Those briefings apprise us of the continued threats that are hindering the process of exiting the crisis in South Sudan.”

“We call on all Bosnian political groups to reject dangerous rhetoric and to use dialogue in order to find peaceful solutions to the differences between the country's different communities. We also encourage Bosnia and Herzegovina's neighbours to combine their efforts to promote lasting peace there. Finally, like other countries, Cote d'Ivoire would like to express its commitment to the unity, territorial integrity and sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a fully functional and independent State.”

“My country also urges the political authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina to guarantee for their citizens the establishment of the rule of law in order to prevent situations of impunity in a country in search of national reconciliation and in which all communities are called on to live together in peace and harmony. We encourage the international community to remain alert with respect to the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which remains fragile. The Security Council must be aware at all times of any difficulties that the High Representative may face in the full implementation of the Dayton Peace Accord, which is key not just to Bosnia and Herzegovina's stability but to that of the Balkan region as a whole.”

“We also urge all stakeholders to redouble their efforts and to undertake the fundamental reforms to ensure that the elections to be held in October are fully democratic. My delegation remains deeply concerned that the Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina has not dealt with the shortcomings of several provisions of the criminal procedure code to combat organized crime and corruption. In that regard, we encourage the Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina to undertake the appropriate reforms with a view to tackling the economic, social and security challenges facing the country today.”

“In that regard, my delegation welcomes the fact that the Bosnian authorities have adopted the necessary legislative measures to resume cooperation with the International Monetary Fund. Despite the hopes raised by the points that I have just highlighted, C6te d'Ivoire remains concerned about the ongoing political tensions in the country, which, if we are not careful, could undermine the gains of the Dayton Agreement. My delegation is particularly concerned about the statements of the leaders of Republika Srpska calling for secession from Bosnia and Herzegovina. In that regard, Cote d'Ivoire calls on all political actors in the country to focus on development priorities, particularly economic and social, and to refrain from being drawn into the rhetoric of division, which could threaten the territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

“That Agreement has been the cornerstone of the work of the international community in providing the country with a multiethnic, multi-faith and multicultural framework. Like the High Representative, my country is pleased to note that Bosnia and Herzegovina has submitted to the European Commission the answers to the questionnaire necessary for the review of its candidacy for membership in the European Union. That act demonstrates, if it were needed, the Bosnian authorities' ability to make the necessary efforts and essential reforms, particularly in the areas of the rule of law, fundamental rights and judicial independence, in order to complete the cycle of political and socioeconomic change in their country.”

“Mr. Djedje (cote d'Ivoire) (spoke in French): I would like to congratulate you, Madam President, on Poland's assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of May, and to assure you of C6te d'Ivoire's support, as we had already begun to do yesterday during our important discussion on children and armed conflict. In any case, we wish you every success for the month of May. On behalf of my delegation, I would like to thank Mr. Valentin Inzko, High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, for the quality of his briefing on the situation in that country. In speaking for the first time on the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I would like to inform the High Representative that he has the full support of C6te d'Ivoire for his mandate in implementing the Dayton Peace Agreement of 14 December 1995.”

“Cote d'Ivoire will proceed with elections as soon as possible if, at the same time, important progress is made in the implementation of articles 3 and 8 of the fourth supplementary agreement to the Ouagadougou Political Agreement related to the restoration of State authority throughout the territory, which is the real solution to the Ivorian crisis.”

“The United Nations cannot validate an alleged national poll in a bisected territory where supporters of one of the candidates are denied access to a part of the same territory, or where a private television channel in the area controlled by rebels campaigns for only one of 14 candidates. The United Nations must make every effort to support the facilitator in the Ivorian crisis, who is working tirelessly to find a solution to the issue of reunification. The electoral process should not be turned into dogma that is to be blindly applied to end all types of crises.”

“Cote d'Ivoire is one and indivisible, and the unity of the nation is reflected in the unity of the army of the Republic, by the unity of the State coffers, through the deployment of prefects and sub-prefects as the sole legal representatives of the State in the territorial constituencies, and by the deployment of defence and security forces that must perform sovereign State tasks within those territorial constituencies. The United Nations, which enshrines within its Charter the sacrosanct concept of sovereignty, cannot promote fragmented sovereignty to serve individual interests.”

“The list of damage caused by the opposition parties is long, and it would take too much time to make a full enumeration of it here. The time has come to disarm and reunify Cote d'Ivoire. This essential measure, called for in article 3 of the fourth supplementary agreement to the Ouagadougou Political Agreement, can no longer be postponed if we wish to hold free elections in Cote d'Ivoire in accordance with the criteria defined by the United Nations.”

“It failed to prevent attacks against symbols of the State and buildings belonging to members of the party of President of the Republic, in particular. The headquarters of the Ivorian Popular Front, the party of the President of the Republic, was destroyed. In the same locality, Korhogo, the residences of the President of the Republic's national campaign director and other executives of the party have been ransacked and burned. The residence of the spokesperson of the President of the Republic was sacked in the town of Katiola, which is also in the northern region controlled by the rebels. The offices of the prefect of Bouake, in the centre of the country, as well as those of the sub-prefect in Vavoua in the central-west of the country, were ransacked.”

“Secondly, a full audit of the provisional list must be conducted in order to remove those who have no right to be on it and to validate, at the same time, the inclusion of all those who do have that right. These operations will take one to two months, after which the final electoral list will be established for the elections. Besides the issue of the electoral list, there remains a further significant challenge to credible elections - the challenge of disarmament and reunification. Recent events have demonstrated the need to move quickly on disarmament and reunification in order for free elections to take place in accordance with the criteria defined by the United Nations. The current security apparatus in the central, northern and western areas controlled by the rebels has shown its weaknesses.”

“The President of the Republic therefore decided to dissolve the Commission in order to replace Mr. Mambe', the perpetrator of the fraud. At the same time, the Government was dissolved, as some ministers, obeying the orders of their political parties, openly supported Mr. Mambe' while the Prime Minister was asking for his resignation. A new Chairman of the Commission has been elected and a new Government formed. Priority must now be given to compiling a reliable electoral list in order to organize clean and credible elections. To that end, two essential actions must be undertaken. First, the 429,030 people whom the former Chairman of the Commission wished to fraudulently register on the electoral list must be removed from the file.”

“Mr. Djedje (Cote d'Ivoire) (spoke in French): This meeting of the Security Council gives me the opportunity to give an overview of developments in C6te d'Ivoire since our meeting on 28 January. During the period under review, the situation in C6te d'Ivoire has been marked by a serious crisis caused by the matter of fraud on the electoral list in favour of the opposition. The Chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission, a member of one of the opposition parties, had fraudulently registered more than 429,000 people on the electoral list. This figure represents nearly 8 per cent of the electorate. 10-27475 After the discovery of the fraud, the Chairman of the Commission refused to resign, thus paralysing the institution and blocking the peace process.”

“Those troops will take part in securing the electoral process and will be under a United Nations mandate for three months. Through me, the Ivorian Government requests the support of the Security Council for the effective deployment of that contingent. I wish to conclude my remarks by reiterating that the Ivorians are certainly eager to go to the elections but not to any election, in particular not an election that would bring them back to square one, that is to say, another conflict. The Ivorians are eager to go to transparent and credible elections with a reliable electoral list, in accordance with the certification criteria set by the United Nations. That is what the Prime Minister is resolutely and swiftly seeking to do, with the support of the Facilitator, and for which the support of the Security Council is required.”

“This incident, taking place in the course of the final phase of the electoral process, may obviously give rise to a minor disruption of the timetable adopted at Ouagadougou on 3 December 2009 for the holding of the presidential election. All these efforts would be wasted if the presidential election were to take place in an insecure 3 environment. To that end, and to mitigate the low numbers of Blue Helmets and mixed brigades of the Integrated Command Centre, President Laurent Gbagbo and the Facilitator for direct dialogue, President Blaise Compaore, have requested the prompt deployment of a military contingent from Burkina Faso. That request has been submitted to the Security Council, with the favourable recommendation of the Secretary-General.”

“In that regard, it must be said that it is true that the President of the Independent Electoral Commission acted irregularly, which has cast doubt over that body and rightly resulted in denunciations and appeals for greater control of its activities. That is why Prime Minister Guillaume Soro, after consulting all Ivorian political parties and the Facilitator, President Blaise Compaore', has established a monitoring committee responsible for strengthening the Commission's capacities and for restoring the confidence of Ivorians in that body, which has a central and leading role in the process of ending the crisis.”

“The publication of the provisional electoral list, the launch of the election appeals period, and the validation of candidates for the presidential election confirm the success of the process to end the cr1s1s. Ivorians are keen to go to the elections, but I would like to make it clear that they are keen to go to transparent and credible elections. For the Ivorian Government, conditions conducive to holding a transparent and fair presidential election are linked to drawing up a credible electoral list above all suspicion, and also to organizing the vote in a secure environment. Concerning the electoral list, the news in Cote d'Ivoire has of late been marked case of fraud by the President of the Independent Electoral Commission.”

“Allow me also to express the compassion of 10-21493 the Ivorian authorities to all troop-contributing States that have lost men and women in that tragedy. Finally, allow me to express once again our greatest sympathies to the Haitian Government and people and to assure them of our solidarity in their terrible ordeal. Moreover, the Ivorian Government has decided to donate $1 million. That gesture is the Ivorian contribution to the chain of international solidarity for Haiti. As noted in the report of the Secretary-General, the overall situation in Cote d'Ivoire remains stable and significant progress was made during the last quarter of 2009.”

However, first allow me to express, on behalf of the Ivorian Government and the people, our most heartfelt condolences to the families of the United Nations personnel who were killed last week in the earthquake that has devastated Haiti. I would particularly like to evoke the memory of Mr. Hedi Annabi, who did so much to restore peace in Cote d'Ivoire. During all those years, he contributed significantly to the success of the Ivorian peace process.”

“By way of conclusion, I would like to point out that given the obstacles that my Government notes at the level of the Security Council, Cote d'Ivoire will now undertake steps at the level of the Economic Community of West African States to implement the provisions of the Ouagadougou Agreement, namely the immediate lifting of sanctions against individuals and the lifting of the arms embargo three months after the presidential elections. Similar steps will also be undertaken at the level of the African Union.”

“09-58296 The fact that identical resolutions have followed one another since 2004, while the situation has steadily improved in Cote d'Ivoire, shows the anachronistic nature of today's decision to maintain the sanctions regime for yet another year. The resolution adopted today is not, in fact, designed to assist Ivorians in their process of reconciliation, which has made great progress since the signing of the Ouagadougou Political Agreement and which is but a few weeks away from finalization following the presidential elections.”

“They should be subject to periodic review and be lifted as soon as they have achieved their goals. The situation has substantially changed since November 2004, when resolution 1572 (2004) was passed, and there is no reason why individual sanctions should be maintained. I would therefore like to express my delegation's disappointment at the outcome of the vote on today's resolution, which certainly does not correspond to what the Government of Cote d'Ivoire had hoped for. My delegation had expected to obtain today a clear commitment by the Security Council to lift sanctions after the presidential elections.”

“Now that the former belligerents are actively contributing to the return of lasting peace and have reconciled with one another, is 09-58296 there any other goal that the United Nations might want to achieve by maintaining these sanctions? In our view, sanctions should be applied in accordance with the United Nations Charter and relevant provisions of international law and following impartial and specific criteria. Sanctions should have clearly defined objectives and in any case should never be imposed for purposes of repression or retaliation. The purpose of sanctions is to ensure that a country, a party, an individual or an entity changes its behaviour. The purpose of sanctions is not to chastise or to punish in any way whatsoever. Moreover, sanctions should be accompanied by specific deadlines and timetables.”

“It should also be recalled that the Ouagadougou Agreement was endorsed by ECOWAS and the African Union, of which the Security Council took note. The Ivorian peace process cannot proceed without the support of the international community. The need to back that hopeful process requires that the individual measures taken against certain Ivorian political stakeholders be reviewed, given the current environment of peace and reconciliation and the resolute commitment of those individuals in the search for peace and reconciliation. The question asked today by all Ivorians is whether United Nations sanctions exist for the purpose of repression. Is the goal to punish individuals, or by means of sanctions to restore peace in Cote d'Ivoire?”

“Mr. Djedje (Cote d'Ivoire) (spoke in French): My delegation would like to take the opportunity provided by this meeting of the Security Council devoted to sanctions to explain the position of the Government of C6te d'Ivoire. It should be recalled that it was the African Union, in 2004, that raised the issue of sanctions against C6te d'Ivoire. For some time now, the Economic Community of African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union have called for the lifting of those sanctions. Against that backdrop, on 24 April 2009 my delegation asked the Security Council to review the individual sanctions against certain Ivorian political stakeholders. Moreover, we did so on the basis of the Ouagadougou Political Agreement (see S/2007/l44, annex), which, in its paragraph 6.4, calls for the immediate lifting of individual sanctions.”

“This heavy responsibility, as well as the influence and impact that French attitudes and comments can have in Cote d'Ivoire, should be reason for a greater sense of restraint and responsibility on France's part. In any case, in conclusion, I wish to reassure the Council that the first round of presidential elections in Cote d'Ivoire will definitely be held on 29 November. Everything is being done politically and logistically, and with the well-appreciated support of the United Nations, to honour that date.”

“Unfortunately, it is during this stage, when the process is nearing completion, that there have been some attacks on the peace process and the institutions in Cote d'Ivoire. My delegation is referring to the recent statements by French personalities who made unfair and unjustified remarks against the Ivorian authorities and the ongoing process. My delegation would not have dwelt on these remarks had it not been for the fact that they come from a Power which holds a special status in the settlement of the crisis in Cote d'Ivoire. No one can claim to be unaware that France has troops supporting United Nations peacekeepers in Cote d'Ivoire, that France is a permanent member of the Security Council, that France initiates draft resolutions on Cote d'Ivoire, and that France is therefore not just anybody in the peace process in Cote d'Ivoire.”

“All the latest information available to my delegation points to the fact that presidential elections will be held on 29 November, based on the following timeline. Data processing for producing the voter registration list started two days ago on 21 July, and will end on 25 August. The provisional list will be issued in early September. Claims regarding the provisional list will be addressed throughout September. The final electoral list will be issued during the first week of October. Voter cards and national identity cards will be distributed in October and November. The electoral campaign will start on 15 November. All these efforts by the Ivorian authorities should give rise to renewed optimism as to the effective holding of the first round of the presidential elections on 29 November.”

The most recent electoral laws under consideration will be adopted shortly by the Government in order to accelerate the implementation of the electoral process so that the first round of elections can be held on 29 November. All the benchmarks and performance indicators for the major areas identified in the Ouagadougou Agreement and its supplementary agreements, and annexed to the report of the Secretary- General show steady progress in, if not the completion of, the main stages of the process for ending the crisis.”

“With regard to the civil service, we will do our utmost to ensure that the sites in Sangouine, M'Bahiakro and Guingreni open in the coming months so that 700 young people trained in the use of firearms can be hosted with full room and board. The proposed financing from the European Union, totalling $7 million, should help to start the training of 4,000 people in six new vocational training centres rehabilitated by the German Agency for Technical Cooperation. Together with financing from the World Bank amounting to $17 million, which was concluded on ll February, it will be possible to train in two years up to 12,000 ex-combatants in eight centres: Bouake, M'Bahiakro, Man, Gotongouine, Guingreni, Korhogo, Daloa and Bondoukou. In addition, 10 other provisional centres for other types of training would be established.”

Regarding security, the overall situation remained stable during the reporting period, especially with the redeployment of the 8,000 personnel of the Integrated Command Centre throughout the country. A workshop was held in Abidjan on 8 and 9 June to assess the implementation of the fourth supplementary agreement, during which priority activities were identified for the next five months and a timetable was set.
