  1. “I wish to conclude by thanking once again the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam for convening this important meeting and calling upon the AU and the United Nations, together with other multilateral and regional organizations, to bolster our joint efforts aimed at sharpening our understanding of the challenges we collectively face and enhancing our partnership and collaboration to respond to these shared threats.”

  2. “The lack of clarity on how to operationalize the principles of non-interference and subsidiarity continue to inhibit the AU’s ability to respond to and intervene in emerging crises across the continent. Member States continue to invoke the principle of non-interference on the basis of sovereignty, limiting the ability of the AU to address or prevent conflicts in a timely manner. The principle of subsidiarity, on the other hand, recognizes the primacy of regional organizations in leading interventions in Member States. The continued lack of clarity around these two principles has posed a critical challenge to coordination among the United Nations, the AU and regional economic communities/regional mechanisms.”

  3. “Almost 70 per cent of the agenda of the Security Council pertains to issues of peace and security in Africa. African States comprise nearly 28 per cent of the United Nations overall membership, providing significant regional political backing to the three African members of the Security Council (A3), presently comprised of Tunisia, the Niger and Kenya. The role of the A3 is to reflect and defend the views and concerns of the continent and the decisions of the African Union Peace and Security Council in the United Nations Security Council. It is, therefore, important to strengthen and unify the roles played by the A3 in channelling the Peace and Security Council-provided positions on peace and security issues in Africa and enhance the coordination between positions taken in Addis Ababa and New York.”

  4. “One of the key challenges facing the United Nations-AU partnership has to do with United Nations-mandated AU-led peace support operations and the growing need to provide a sense of ownership to the African Member States of the United Nations. The Security Council should create the opportunity and a dispensation that will allow Africa to access predictable funding from United Nations-assessed contributions. Though significant progress has been made between the AU and the United Nations at the highest level, challenges remain at the level of cooperation between the two Councils. While increased efforts of engagement between the African Union Peace and Security Council and the United Nations Security Council have helped the organizations achieve greater strategic convergence on issues that are of mutual importance, more needs to be done.”

  5. “In this regard, the AU has underscored the importance of sharing experiences and best practices, as well as lessons arising from continental and regional mechanisms deployed against terrorism, violent extremism and other related transnational organized crimes. An overview in all regions, the Sahel in particular, shows every day massive killings of innocent women and children. The Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso and Nigeria face awful scenes of devastation. It is imperative that these countries benefit from a genuine, active and efficient solidarity. The Security Council has a fundamental responsibility in that regard. The African Union has huge hopes that it will undertake urgently appropriate measures to alleviate millions of people exposed to daily massacres.”

  6. “Furthermore, our organizations continue to work together to support free, fair and credible electoral processes, strengthen good governance, promote the protection of human rights and prevent electoral violence across the continent. We will continue to foster national cohesion and inclusive political and electoral processes.Increasing incidences of violent extremism, particularly in the Sahel and the Lake Chad basin, Somalia and Cabo Delgado in Mozambique, have called for the need for enhanced cooperation between the United Nations and AU mechanisms and regional bodies in our fight against the growing threat of terrorism and violent extremism.”

  7. “Africa has achieved important milestones towards realizing the objectives of the AU flagship initiative — “Silencing the Guns: Creating conducive conditions for Africa’s development”, in line with the vision in Agenda 2063 of the African Union and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations. The African Union has prioritized deepening its cooperation with regional economic communities and regional mechanisms on regional peace and security issues. Sustained efforts at the national, regional and continental levels have continued to be deployed in an attempt to address the fundamental root causes of violent conflicts. We have increased operational cooperation and coordination by working in support of peace processes in the Sudan, Mali, the Central African Republic, Darfur and Somalia.”

  8. “These mechanisms and legal frameworks have indeed helped us to enhance our collaboration and coherence to the extent that today, consultation and coordination among the AU, regional economic communities/regional mechanisms and the United Nations to harmonize strategies and approaches have become the rule rather than the exception. This has enabled us to move from an ad hoc approach to a more structured and predictable one. With the relevant frameworks in place, we have effectively addressed in many cases the complex peace and security challenges in Africa. Our enhanced partnership continues to be anchored on the principles of subsidiarity, complementarity and comparative advantages.”

  9. “I also thank Secretary-General António Guterres and former Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon for their briefings. Given the complexities of the challenges we have faced with the ongoing global pandemic, it is even more crucial for us to identify how we can improve our cooperation through stronger multilateralism and confront our shared threats with a global, coordinated and united voice and common action. Since the signing, by His Excellency Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union Commission and His Excellency António Guterres Secretary- General of the United Nations, of the Joint African Union-United Nations Framework for Enhanced Partnership in Peace and Security in 2017 and the subsequent development framework, the institutionalization of joint efforts between the United Nations and African Union (AU) has been strengthened.”

  10. “On behalf of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission who could not join because of prior engagements, I wish to extend my appreciation to the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam for organizing this timely high-level open debate and for bringing together representatives of regional and subregional organizations to discuss our cooperation in enhancing confidence-building and dialogue in conflict prevention and resolution. I take this opportunity to express my very best wishes to His Excellency Mr. Nguyen Xuan Phuc, President of the Council, for a successful term in leading the Security Council. Also permit me to extend our solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. We pray that they will be able to quickly recover from this tragedy.”
