  1. “In this regard, we look forward to seeing this problematic issue discussed in the upcoming reports of the Secretary-General on the situation in the Lake Chad basin region.”

  2. “It is paramount that the region and the international community be able to provide the urgently needed support to the 10.7 million people across the Lake Chad basin. Last but not least, in resolution 2349 (2017) the Council recognized the adverse effects of climate change and ecological challenges among other factors affecting the stability of the region, and emphasized the need for adequate risk assessments and risk-management strategies by the Governments of the region and the United Nations. The issue of climate change was also dealt with by the Council at the Arria-Formula meeting on the security implications of climate change, which was organized by Ukraine in April.”

  3. “Another question that requires our attention is the need for the Lake Chad basin countries to ensure the full implementation of their commitments in the area of the protection of internally displaced persons (IDPs). We are concerned by the news that some countries continue to undertake forced returns of IDPs. Refugees should return to their homes only voluntarily, once they are sure that it is safe to leave the camps. If not, we are risking the creation of frequent back-and- forth movements across the borders and other areas of the region. At the same time, we are encouraged by the efforts of the Lake Chad basin Governments in responding to the needs of the peoples affected, including those in Nigeria.”

  4. “Without such an instrument, the countries of the Lake Chad basin will face additional obstacles with regard to the deradicalization and reintegration of former Boko Haram combatants, as well as to reconciliation. To ensure lasting peace in the areas liberated from Boko Haram, the Governments of the Lake Chad basin region need to rebuild critical infrastructure, restore a State presence and grant unimpeded access to humanitarian actors. The absence of governmental involvement in these areas would mean that people would continue to be compelled to leave their homes and seek support and assistance in neighbouring countries or, much worse, join the ranks of terrorists.”

  5. “This only proves that they are losing their combat capacity. In this regard, we commend the efforts of the Multinational Joint Task Force and other actors that are fighting this terrorist group. But the countries of the region need additional support from the international community to prevail in this fight once and for all. The United Nations and other relevant partners should continue their efforts in helping the Force prevent and address violations of international human rights and humanitarian law in the context of their military operations. In this regard, we commend the efforts of the relevant United Nations entities that are working closely in the region towards the establishment of a human rights due diligence policy framework.”

  6. “I should like to join other speakers in expressing our gratitude to all of today's briefers for their important inputs into our discussion. In March, the Security Council, following its visit to the Lake Chad basin, adopted resolution 2349 (2017), which was a timely and dedicated instrument for responding to the complex crisis in the region. The Lake Chad Basin region continues to endure a dire humanitarian and security situation. Extreme poverty, severe food insecurity, weak governance, climate change and the destructive activities of Boko Haram all contribute to this disastrous state of affairs. Boko Haram continues to pose a threat to the civilian population in the region. Like a drowning man grasping at a straw, terrorists resort to the use of all available means, including suicide attacks.”
