“The Russian Federation is determined to work constructively to reach an agreement on that document. We believe that it is important, first and foremost, to ensure that it adequately reflects the genuine needs of the country. We consider attempts to give the document a human rights focus and ramp up pressure on Juba on other issues under the pretext of elections as counterproductive. We call on the Security Council to pay greater attention to assisting the authorities in the implementation of the revitalized peace agreement and building capacity to resolve the issue of local conflicts.”

“We believe that only the swift and full implementation of the agreements reached will help the parties enhance mutual trust and prevent the mistakes of the past from being repeated. We deem it particularly important to speed up the formation of the national unified forces. We urge the non-signatories of the peace agreement to join the State-building process. We are convinced that, as the situation normalizes, we will need to adapt South Sudan’s sanctions regime to the new reality in South Sudan. We must not forget that sanctions have never been a solution to the conflict in that country. In the coming days, the Security Council is to renew the mandate of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, which plays a crucial role in stabilizing the situation in the country.”

“We pay tribute to the mediation efforts of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and, above all, the Sudan, in that process. We support Uganda’s initiative to host a meeting among South Sudanese leaders. We are counting on continued mediation through the Community of Sant’Egidio. We note the overall decrease in the level of violence in the country, as well as the readiness of an increasing number of refugees and internally displaced persons to return to their homes. However, we are concerned by reports of sporadic local armed conflicts. We strongly condemn any violations of the revitalized agreement, as well as acts of violence against civilians, including humanitarian personnel working in South Sudan.”

“We note the de facto completion of the formation of transitional authorities in South Sudan and the start of work on a draft permanent constitution. We welcome the intentions of the South Sudanese leadership to hold elections in 2023. We trust that the peacekeeping Mission will be able to provide the necessary assistance in conducting those elections, if requested by the South Sudanese side. We welcome the recent progress in the dialogue with non-signatories to the revitalized peace agreement, primarily in terms of the peace agreements between the Government and the breakaway Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-Army in Opposition Kitgwang faction, led by General Gatwech Dual, and Johnson Olony’s Agwelek forces.”

“Ms. Evstigeena (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for South Sudan, Mr. Nicholas Haysom, for his informative briefing. We also listened attentively to the information provided by the Interim Chairperson of the reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission, Major General Charles Tai Gituai, as well as to the civil society representative, Ms. Riya William Yuyada. We have carefully read the latest report of the Secretary-General on the situation in South Sudan and the work of United Nations peacekeepers there (S/2022/156). The Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan continues to work and the ceasefire is largely holding.”
