“Such long- term partnerships have made a decisive contribution to the creation of a more secure environment during the unpredictable transition period, with an overall reduction in violence and improvement in humanitarian conditions, while paving the way for the successful implementation of the 2012-2016 national police development plan. We look forward to the Secretary-General's recommendations on the future of MINUSTAH before its mandate ends. MINUSTAH's presence will enable the consolidation of achievements in key areas of governance, such as the ability of various municipalities to implement administrative and financial procedures; recruit, train and accredit key personnel; and develop and standardize tools and procedures for financial management and transparency.”

“The overall level of criminality remains stagnant despite the withdrawal of the military from the Cite Soleil and Port-au-Prince departments, which registered the highest crime and gang-related violence in the country. The country's recent developments are in sharp contrast to the tense political situation of a year ago when we visited Haiti, when the political deadlock forced the paralysis of Parliament for several months, further compounded by its failure to hold the third electoral round in December 2015, thereby creating a volatile political climate marred by violent protests and political unrest, which MINUSTAH played a critical role in mitigating.”

“J ocelerme Privert as Haiti's provisional President marked a crucial development in the country's political life by permitting institutional and political continuity until the completion of the outstanding third electoral round on 24 April, which will, we hope, permit the inauguration of the new President on 14 May. We welcome and congratulate Mr. Jocelerme Privert and Prime Minister Fritz Jean, and wish them all the best with the appointment of a new Cabinet, the revitalization of the Provisional Electoral Council and the further strengthening of the inter-Haitian dialogue by involving all national actors across the Haitian political spectrum. Even though the overall political and security environment was primarily influenced by the electoral process, a surge of protests took place, both peacefully and violently.”

“The report's comprehensive analysis of the situation in Afghanistan in the area of drugs in 2015 highlights a substantial reduction in poppy cultivation and opium production, and sharp increases in drug seizures over the past three years. That is a matter for rejoicing in a country so heavily dependent on the drug economy, and given the latter's role in funding insurgents and terrorists. The challenges facing Afghanistan are immense. We share the view that the country's top priority is the resumption of the peace and national reconciliation process, so that it can overcome its political and security crises and enable the Afghan people to achieve peace and stability. It is crucial that the international community maintain its engagement with Afghanistan and its peace and development.”

“Its final declaration focused on the fight against security threats, the promotion of economic cooperation and the strengthening of confidence-building measures, and calling on the Taliban and opposition groups to engage in peace talks with the Afghani Government were steps in the right direction. In its 2015 annual report on the protection of civilians in armed conflict in Afghanistan, UNAMA cited more than 11,000 civilian casualties for the year, representing the largest number it had recorded since 2009, with most of the deaths attributed to anti-Government forces.

“Stability and long-term prosperity in Afghanistan depends on national reconciliation based on peace, on respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and on regional cooperation based on mutual respect and non-interference in the internal affairs of other States. In that connection, we commend the efforts deployed by the Afghani authorities in seeking an active involvement with regional partners. A positive step was the joint inauguration last December by President Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai and Prime Minister Sharif of Pakistan of the Heart of Asia fifth ministerial conference in Islamabad, with the participation of high-level representatives from the region.”

“Over the most recent period of time, since the debate held in December, the security situation has remained unstable and characterized by Taliban attacks in various regions of the country and an increase in activity by terrorists, especially Al-Qaida and groups affiliated with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. In fact, conflict-related violence has increased, while the Afghan National Security Forces seeked to contain insurgent activities resulting in more civilian casualties. The recent killing by the Taliban in Kabul of seven members of the press was a direct and totally unacceptable attack on the freedom of expression. We convey our condolences to the families and urge all parties to the conflict to respect the recognized rights of the press and the freedom of information.”

We pay special tribute to those heroic peacekeepers, not just in Mali but in other theatres, in very special circumstances, who unfortunately see their work being tarnished by the actions of a few. We should act on this issue very vigorously. We took good note of the recommendations by the external independent panel to review the United Natins response, and especially ofthe Secretary-General's clear and forward-looking proposals to strengthen measures to prevent and protect and to enforce accountability, management and remedial action in response to sexual exploitation and abuse. Finally, we have taken note of the draft resolution presented by the United States.”
