1. “In Cote d'Ivoire, a high level of cooperation in planning for the future led to the smooth transition happening today. We encourage the United Nations to institutionalize lessons learned and apply them to other missions in transition, such as those in Liberia and Haiti. We also encourage other countries hosting peacekeeping missions to recognize the importance of strong cooperation between the Government and the United Nations without impediments to movement and access in performing the missions' mandated tasks. Once again, we congratulate all who worked together to bring peace and stability to Cote d'Ivoire over these past years.”

2. “The January and May mutinies in the armed forces over pay grievances resulted in the disruption of commerce, the closure of schools and increased civilian insecurity. The mutinies and accompanying protests also led to scores ofinjuries and several fatalities in confrontations with authorities. We urge the Government to work transparently, inclusively and without delay to accelerate and deepen efforts to reform the security sector, including by shaping a clear structure and purpose for the military based on the threats Cote d'Ivoire faces. Finally, as we approach the end ofUNOCI, we know that smart planning between a mission in transition, the Government, other international partners and a United Nations country team has been essential during the handover of mission tasks.”

3. “In just four weeks UNOCI will shut its door for good, bringing to an end a mission that provided critical support during the 2003 peace agreement and the 2010 political crisis. UNOCI supported efforts to protect civilians, promote good governance, human rights, security sector reform and humanitarian assistance. Cote d'Ivoire is a success story and a model of how peacekeeping can benefit a country if its Government is committed to overcoming conflict and restoring peace. We look forward to seeing the Government of Cote d'Ivoire maintain that positive momentum and cement the peace and security that has taken root with the support of the international community. Despite significant progress on key reforms, recent events have shown that challenges remain.”

4. “I thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for her briefing. I also join others in welcoming the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Cote d'Ivoire to the Security Council and congratulating him on his country's election, today, as a non-permanent member. We also congratulate the other new members elected today and look forward to working with all new members next year. It is a momentous occasion when a peacekeeping mission can close after having successfully completed its work to stabilize and support a country emerging from conflict. We applaud the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, her staff and all the staff of the United Nations Operation in Cote d'Ivoire (UNOCI) who have contributed to the mission over its 13 years.”
