  1. “We hope that, unlike the past two years, the next 24 months will bring progress on the path to peace for the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

  2. “We urge the full inclusion of civil society in the transition process, as well as the provision of space for women’s full, equal and meaningful participation across all efforts towards peace. As the 2023 elections draw closer, we welcome the continued efforts of the Independent National Electoral Commission and reiterate the importance of respecting and protecting human rights. We condemn all dangerous rhetoric, hate speech and incitement to violence, whatever the medium. The United Nations can and should play an important role in supporting the timely holding of transparent, credible, inclusive and peaceful elections. It is vitally important to ensure the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in that process, as well as to ensure that young people are fully engaged.”

  3. “The disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process is fundamental for lasting peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We welcome the expansion of the National Programme for Disarmament, Demobilization, Community Reinsertion and Stabilization, including the elaboration of the provincial operational plans. There is a need to scale up their implementation if they are to make the needed impact on building sustainable peace. Effective transitions are also essential for sustaining peace. The review of the joint transition plan must recognize the need for continued engagement, cooperation and inclusion, and must set clear and realistic transition benchmarks and indicators that are aligned with realistic timelines.”

  4. “We reiterate the importance of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework and commend the Member States of the region, the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, the African Union, the East African Community (EAC), the United Nations Regional Office for Central Africa and the Southern African Development Community for their efforts to ease tensions and build trust. The Nairobi and Luanda processes are important platforms for peace, and we urge all parties to engage fully in that regard. The deployment of the EAC regional force must have clear objectives. Close cooperation and coordination with MONUSCO and other actors is essential. The regional force must comply with international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law.”

  5. “We must end impunity and hold those responsible to account. We fully support the role of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) in the protection of civilians. The rise in hate speech, misinformation and anti-United Nations rhetoric is worrisome. It is imperative that all citizens be protected and that the Mission continue to deliver on its mandate. In that regard, we recognize the importance of community engagement and communication with partners. Ireland has consistently highlighted that regional cooperation is paramount for peace, yet tensions continue to increase, with the deteriorating relationship between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda being of particular concern.”

  6. “That insecurity is creating a complex crisis and exacerbating the already dire humanitarian needs, with widespread displacement contributing to food insecurity and malnutrition. We reiterate the importance of protecting civilians and humanitarians and delivering assistance to the millions of people affected. Human rights violations and abuses continue to be perpetrated by armed groups and State forces. It is deeply disappointing that the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1533 (2004) is unlikely to receive a briefing from Special Representative Patten on the appalling situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in relation to sexual violence in conflict. The persistently high rates of gender-based violence and conflict-related sexual violence cannot continue to be ignored.”

  7. “I thank Special Representative Keita, Secretary General Mutuku Mathuki and Ms. Rebecca Kabuo for their briefings. We also welcome the participation in today’s meeting of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. After nearly two years as a member of the Security Council, Ireland is more worried than ever about the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and across the Great Lakes region. Ireland is appalled by the recent massacre of civilians in Kishishe and Bambo. We condemn those heinous acts in the strongest terms. The persistent and growing violence and insecurity in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo perpetrated by the Mouvement du 23 mars, the Allied Democratic Forces, the Coopérative pour le développement du Congo and many other armed groups is alarming.”
