“The full and equal participation of women in conflict prevention, mediation and resolution processes must be ensured in the strategies that are being executed. It is therefore fundamental to ensure compliance with Security Council resolutions related to women and peace and security, especially resolutions 1325 (2000) and 2242 (2015). We express our concern about the effects of climate change on the Lake Chad basin, such as water scarcity, desertification, drought, among others, all of which increase the instability of the region. We must develop strategies that address these risks as they largely affect socioeconomic development and food insecurity.”

“Recalling the message conveyed by the Deputy Secretary-General to the Council at our meeting of 10 August (see S/PV.8022), we must pay special attention and respond to the impact that this conflict has on women in the region. While sexual violence in conflict does not distinguish based on gender, it primarily affects affect women and girls. They are Victims of Violence, rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution, forced marriages, forced sterilization and other forms of Violence, in addition to stigmatization when they return to their communities. All of this is the result of Boko Haram's Violent extremism. In this regard, the empowerment of women in the fight against that terrorist group is crucial.”

“As a result, the region faces a devastating humanitarian situation. As indicated in the Secretary-General's report, 10.7 million people need humanitarian assistance. This is an alarming number that must force us to sit up and take note and compel us to undertake efforts that will allow the Governments of the Lake Chad basin to move forward. In the short term, we are focusing on the fight against food insecurity and the basic needs ofinternally displaced persons, refugees and the most vulnerable people and, in cases of return, ensuring that their return be voluntary, safe and dignified. We echo the appeal made by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs for the necessary funds to be earmarked and for assistance to be provided to the people in need.”

“Mr. Inchauste Jordan (Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, we thank Under-Secretary-General Jeffrey Feltman for the information he provided to us in connection with the first report of the Secretary- General on the situation in the Lake Chad basin region (S/2017/764). We also thank Ms. Fatima Shehu Imam for the statement she delivered to the Council today. Bolivia expresses its concern over the ongoing threat posed by Boko Haram to the Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Nigeria. The terrible attacks perpetrated by the group against the civilian population - murders, kidnappings, the use of girls as suicide bombers, sexual Violence against women, the recruitment of children - all clearly show the urgent need for the international community to join forces in countering the extreme violence of Boko Haram.”

“A clear example of this is the peace process in Colombia, whose Final Agreement established measures for the reintegration of former combatants in civil society, along with the support of regional organizations and the international community in general, in order to establish lasting and sustainable peace. Finally, Bolivia reaffirms its support to the work and commitment of peacekeeping operations and thanks United Nations staff and peacekeeping personnel, as well as the staff of the troop- and police-contributing counties, for their sacrifices and hard work. They are men and women who risk their lives on a daily basis to build a lasting and sustainable peace in order to fulfil the principles and objectives of the Charter of the United Nations.”

“Restoring a post-conflict society requires a great deal of effort planning and implementing the experience gained on the ground, working together with Governments to implement agreements between the parties, demobilization, reintegration, disarmament, the removal of anti-personnel landmines, economic development and addressing the causes of the conflict. All ofthese are issues that need to be taken into account in order to promote and consolidate sustainable peace. The inclusion of society in the peace processes is key to promoting confidence, given that it can take years to make this happen. Its inclusion can play an important role in the prevention and resolution of conflicts and in peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts and in building peaceful and resilient societies.”

“One such clear example is the strategic partnership between the Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council, both committed to developing a structured, equitable relationship and to strengthening their partnership with mutual support and continued technical assistance on the political, security, cross-border and preventive diplomacy fronts, including the management of transboundary waters, through mediation and the exercise of good offices. We are looking forward to the visit to the African Union headquarters in the coming days in order to strengthen our partnership and the joint work of both organizations.”

“In that regard, it is crucial to ensure that when a peace operation's mandate is about to expire, a serious effort is made to reformulate it and enable its peacebuilding tasks to be achieved. Similarly, it is important to work to strengthen closer strategic alliances with regional and subregional bodies. We should prioritize developing and deepening links that incorporate innovative working methods based on predictable funding, for they are vital to sustaining peace.”

“Independence, neutrality and respect for States and their peoples' rights must be observed at all times, because that is how the United Nations becomes a valid stakeholder in promoting political processes, coordinating alliances between States and facilitating the work of staff deployed on the ground. We should make greater analytical use of strategic reviews and the other tools that we possess in order to monitor, evaluate and verify not only whether a mission is achieving its goals but also ifit has adequate numbers of troops and, if necessary, whether the civilian population's human rights and the purposes and principles of the Charter are being respected, since a mission can often end up in a vicious circle of self- propagating bureaucracies that distort its mandates.”

“Success also depends on establishing realistic deadlines both for peacekeeping operations and other peacebuilding activities, and on their ability to adapt to the realities ofa particular situation, all of which should be clearly defined in their mandates, while working with the communities involved - including women and young people - to help to build their confidence in political processes, and with zero tolerance for sexual violence. The more than 60 years of experience that the United Nations has accumulated in peacekeeping operations have given it invaluable knowledge and experience that no other body possesses, which is why we know that it is impossible to fulfil a mandate without a Government's trust and active participation.”

“In that regard, we believe that a mission's success depends in part on preventive diplomacy based on an active political process, and with goals that are commensurate with its capabilities and resources, that correspond to the purposes for which they were conceived, and that are framed by the principles governing them - above all the consent of the parties - with a comprehensive strategy capable of tackling the situation and progressing systematically towards its primary goal, through a consensus political process that facilitates peacebuilding and in particular promotes national ownership.”

“Such measures, along with strict regard for civilian populations' human rights and dignity, should govern the conduct of peacekeeping missions, creating ways to achieve connection and cohesion that can ensure coordination with and the participation of local communities and civil society in general. There should be no military option in conflict resolution.”

“The challenge for peacekeeping operations has to do with their ability to use the tools they need, tools whose use must be facilitated through measurable, clear, coherent and achievable mandates, as is laid out in the report (S/2015/446) ofthe High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations, without forgetting that the tools of first resort are preventive diplomacy, strategic alliances with regional bodies and post-conflict peacebuilding. Preventive diplomacy is vital and should be strengthened through mediation, dialogue, good offices, confidence-building measures and the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations itself regarding State sovereignty, and should not be used as an instrument for intervention.”

“Mr. Llorentty Soliz (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): Bolivia would like to thank the Deputy Secretary-General for her report on the contribution of peacekeeping missions to achieving sustainable peace. We are also grateful to to Mr. Youssef Mahmoud and Ambassador Gert Rosenthal for their informative briefings and to the Egyptian presidency for convening a debate today that has enabled us to explore the effectiveness, significance and relevance of the current mandates of United Nations peace operations.”

“With regard to the deployment of the Regional Protection Force, we welcome the progress that the engineering and rapid-deployment companies have made, which we hope they will complete this month. We encourage UNMISS and the Government to work together to achieve that. The help that the Regional Protection Force can give UNMISS is essential if it is to be able to guarantee the protection of civilians. For example, security improvements in rural areas are linked to agricultural development, which is important to increasing economic production, and crop production in particular, so as to fight famine and improve the living conditions of the South Sudanese. Lastly in that regard, we should highlight the significant work being done by UNMISS, which has ramped up its patrols on the ground.”

“It is therefore important to highlight President Mogae's efforts to revive the political process. His recommendations will be very important for the forum that IGAD has called for. We also note that the famine in the country is under control. We greatly appreciate the tremendous efforts of humanitarian workers and the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) to that end, but there is still much to be done. The latest figures from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs indicate that 6 million people - 50 per cent of the population - will need food assistance this month. It will be crucial to ensure that there is unhindered, safe access for humanitarian aid and for UNMISS.”

“As Special Envoy Haysom - to whose efforts we reiterate our support - mentioned in a previous briefing, there is some agreement between the opposition groups and the Government. The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) has a very important role to play in that regard. We await the convening of the high-level revitalization forum on the 2015 agreement. In that context, we welcome the appointment of Ambassador Ismail Wais as IGAD's Special Envoy for South Sudan and assure him of our unconditional support for his work. Bolivia would like to reiterate its support for regional efforts in the quest for a solution to the situation. As the IGAD communique of 2 July states, the African Union, the United Nations and the other IGAD partners must support the efforts to revitalize the Agreement.”
2017-07-20 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8008 (2017) · source
“We must continue to work towards that, and the international community must support the efforts that have been made recently in that respect. However, it is the South Sudanese themselves who should lead the process, and the full commitment of all players is vital. Internal divisions and rivalries, both within the Government and in the opposition, must be set aside, as must all differences relating to who governs and who aspires to govern. The well- being of the country's citizens must always be the main objective. Restoring momentum to the political process is only the second step. Ensuring the implementation of the 2015 Agreement is the way to proceed. Inclusiveness and genuine dialogue are fundamental ingredients.”

“Today, unfortunately, six years after the South Sudanese achieved independence, the unity that they showed then has evaporated. The Republic of South Sudan is tackling an economic, political, security and humanitarian crisis that continues to prevent many of its citizens from seeing the objectives of independence actually take shape. Bolivia's desire is for the brotherly South Sudanese people to enjoy the peace and development that they deserve and that a country with such potential could offer them. We take note of the conciliatory message delivered by President Salva Kiir on the sixth anniversary of independence. He stated that war was not an option and appealed to those who had not yet done so to respect the ceasefire. The first step towards achieving peace is the cessation of hostilities.”

“Mr. Inchauste Jordan (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): We thank the delegation of China for having convened this open briefing, as the Security Council must continually follow up the situation in South Sudan. We also express our thanks for the information provided today by Assistant Secretary-General El-Ghassim Wane. We welcome his work and that of his team, work that they are carrying out in the very difficult context that we are seeing today in the youngest country in the world. We also welcome in particular Mr. Festus Mogae, Chairperson of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission. Bolivia reiterates its support for and acknowledgement of his work. In January 2011, more than 98 per cent ofthe citizens of South Sudan chose independence; that became a reality on 9 July that year.”

“We take note of the Iraqi Government's positive actions in that regard, such as the public call broadcast on mass media on 15 May inviting all those with information on missing Kuwaitis to come forward, and the explorations done in the potential burial locations of Khamisiyah and Samawah. We hope they will produce positive results. Lastly, we encourage all stakeholders to continue working to achieve concrete results through the reconciliation efforts that are so fundamental to the process of stabilizing relations between Iraq and Kuwait and which the Council discussed in its press release of 14 July.”

“The Plurinational State of Bolivia would also like to pay tribute to the determination and effort of the Iraqi people to reach a political solution that will help to begin peacebuilding and to involve the Iraqi people in establishing their country's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. In that regard, we hope that the electoral schedule and the legal mechanisms needed to ensure that it is met can be agreed on with the consensus of all the political parties and stakeholders involved to the benefit of the population as a whole. We also appreciate the efforts of the Iraqi Government to identify missing Kuwaiti citizens and property and to return property taken during the conflict.”

“We reaffirm the importance of ensuring that we combat such practices by all possible means at our disposal, within the framework of the Charter of the United Nations and our obligations under international law, and that those responsible for such acts are investigated, prosecuted and punished. With regard to explosive devices, we believe that while the area is still being liberated from Da'esh's control, we should focus on demining activities and on clearing all explosive remnants of war in order to ensure that the huge number of displaced persons can be returned home safely.”

“We are also concerned about the information in the report about serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law by Da'esh such as mass burials of civilians, abductions and the sexual enslavement of thousands of women. It has used improvised explosive devices and carried out suicide attacks in squares, markets and other very crowded areas, as well as using innocent civilians as human shields. In that regard, we firmly condemn all acts of terrorism as criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of where, when or by whom they are committed. We particularly condemn terrorist acts that make cowardly use of civilians, especially women and children, as human shields.”

“According to the reports issued on 4 July by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, to date, since the start of anti-terrorist operations in Mosul in October 2016, more than 900,000 internally displaced persons have been registered as coming from that city alone, 709,000 of whom are still unable to return home, in addition to the more than 3.4 million people who have been displaced internally since the conflict began. Furthermore, according to the Secretary-General's report (S/2017/592), 445,000 civilians have died just in the period from May to June of this year, bringing the total number of deaths resulting from the conflict to some 82,000.”

“We recognize the profound courage, sacrifice and determination that the security forces and the people of Iraq in general have continued to show in their fight to eliminate that terrorist group's presence in their country once and for all. We also acknowledge the interim precautionary and protective measures that the Iraqi security forces have taken in their campaign against Da'esh in order to prioritize the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure. We would like to emphasize that as long as this terrorist group is still being expelled from the territory of Iraq and people are being liberated from its control, it is vital to ensure that there is full and unrestricted humanitarian access to United Nations aid and that the human rights of those caught up in the conflict steps are respected and upheld.”

We are also grateful for the key role played by UNAMI in fulfilling its mandate, which we just renewed through the unanimous adoption on 14 July of resolution 2367 (2017). We urge it to continue its work in coordinating and encouraging dialogue with the goal of strengthening the process of peace and reconciliation in Iraq. We welcomed the Iraqi Government's announcement on 10 July confirming the liberation of the city of Mosul from Da'esh control.”

“This attitude of dialogue and understanding must now be maintained and strengthened as we enter the most difficult part of the process - the political, social and economic reintegration of FARC-EP and the implementation of personal and collective security guarantees. This phase is a true challenge. The killings of community leaders and human rights champions linked to the guerrillas or their families, dissidents who encourage hate speech and non-reconciliation, the underground economy and other factors are challenges that highlight the complexity of the reintegration process. The Government and FARC- EP have placed their trust once again in the Security Council and the United Nations, and we welcome the fact that the Council has demonstrated its unanimous support for Colombia.”

The Security Council has unanimously adopted resolution 2366 (2017), establishing the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia to monitor the implementation of the Final Agreement for Ending the Conflict and Building a Stable and Lasting Peace, demonstrating its unshakeable support for the peace process in Colombia. Bolivia is proud to have co-sponsored the resolution. As we have noted previously, this process is succceeding because the Government and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia - Ejercito del Pueblo (FARC-EP) are in ongoing dialogue because their ultimate goal is peace.”

Lastly, we reiterate that the only way to resolve this conflict is through an inclusive political process, organized and led by the Syrian people, and we therefore reaffirm our support for the progress that has been made in the Astana and Geneva meetings and express our fervent hope that those dialogues can help us achieve a definitive and lasting peace.”

“In that regard, we would like to remind the parties to the conflict once again that they must allow unconditional access for humanitarian assistance. They should ensure and protect its security and integrity and refrain from targeting humanitarian- assistance convoys as military objectives. We call on the parties to the conflict to intensify efforts to guarantee humanitarian access to besieged and hard- to-reach areas. We believe that as long as military tactics take precedence over politics, there can be no lasting peace and that the civilian population, especially women and children, will be exposed to unnecessary suffering as a result. We also firmly condemn all acts of terrorism as criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of motive and wherever, whenever and by whom they are committed.”

We would also like to highlight the important work that the Russian centre for the reconciliation of opposing sides in the Syrian Arab Republic has been doing, both in ensuring security for the deployment of humanitarian assistance and in evacuating people from areas where there have been armed clashes.”

We also welcome the most recent message, on 26 May, from Mr. Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, in which he urged all the parties to the conflict to take much greater care to distinguish between legitimate military targets and civilians, and to fulfil their obligation to protect the population, saying that "[t]he same civilians who are suffering from indiscriminate shelling and summary executions by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant are also falling victim to the escalating air strikes, particularly in the northeastern governorates".”

The humanitarian situation in Syria remains critical. In April alone, according to the Secretary-General's report issued on 23 May (S/2017/445), there were around 30 attacks on medical and educational facilities and personnel.

“Accordingly, that type of action or, indeed, any action leading to an escalation of violence, is not conducive to fostering a peaceful solution and must therefore be avoided. We believe that a constructive environment must be established so as to achieve solutions leading to progress and stability. We therefore commend the European Union-facilitated dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade, which opens a way to a lasting solution so as to end the conflicts affecting the region. To that end, parties must refrain from making statements containing bellicose and inflammatory rhetoric.”

“Mr. Inchauste Jordan (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): I am grateful to Mr. Tanin, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), for his briefing on the current situation in Kosovo. I also express my gratitude to Her Excellency Ms. Kuburovic', Minister of Justice of the Republic of Serbia, and Ms. Citaku for their statements. Bolivia calls for compliance with resolution 1244 (1999), including full respect for the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence ofSerbia. We believe that the attempt to establish a Kosovo army runs contrary to that resolution and poses a threat to the progress made between the parties.”

“We demand that the attacks be subject to an independent, impartial, unpoliticized, full and conclusive investigation and that those responsible be duly prosecuted and severely punished. In that regard, we reiterate our firm condemnation of all acts of terrorism as criminal and unjustifiable. It is our unequivocal belief that any counter-terrorism action should be carried out in coordination with the Government so as to prevent the death of innocent civilians, in full respect for all the provisions of resolutions 2254 (2015) and 2336 (2016). In that context, we recognize the tremendous effort being made by the Government and the Syrian people in their struggle against Da'esh, which is a war they are waging on behalf of all of us.”

“We also condemn the criminal and cowardly car-bomb attack of 15 April on the town of Al-Rashidin, which killed more than 120 people, including innocent women and children, who were part of a group of 5,000 civilians being evacuated to Aleppo. The perpetrators of that terrible act should be duly investigated, prosecuted and punished. With regard to the attacks on 4 April in Khan Shaykhun, the Plurinational State of Bolivia firmly condemns the use of chemical weapons or of chemicals as weapons, acts that are unjustifiable and criminal regardless of their motive or where, when and by whom they are committed. The use of chemical weapons is a violation of our obligations under international law.”
