“Mr. Inchauste Jordan (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to thank the Joint Special Representative for Darfur and Head of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID), Mr. Jeremiah Mamabolo, for his comprehensive briefing on the report of the Secretary- General on the situation in the Sudan (S/2018/3 89). We take this opportunity, through him, to commend the work that UNAMID is conducting on the ground. At the outset, we underscore the positive aspects highlighted in the Secretary-General's report, in particular with regard to security, which has remained stable, as in previous reporting periods. We also welcome the Government's decision to extend the unilateral ceasefire to all areas of operations until 30 June.”

“In conclusion, there is a need for regional and subregional organizations, the United Nations and the international community at large to join forces in support of IGAD's efforts. We, the members of the Security Council, have agreed that the only way to resolve the conflict in South Sudan is through a process of inclusive and sincere political dialogue between the parties to implement the 2015 Agreement.”

“In the same vein, we call on the parties to uphold the status of forces agreement and take concrete measures to prevent any breaches. Another aspect that we believe is important to mention is the request made by the delegation from the African Union Peace and Security Council during its visit to South Sudan last month, in which it called for greater cooperation in the establishment of the Hybrid Court to advance the fight against impunity. On the other hand, with regard to the recommendations of the Panel of Experts, we agree that the Security Council should avail itself of all the tools at its disposal to adopt measures against those who sabotage or do not comply with the outcomes of the IGAD process.”

“Millions of refugees and internally displaced persons face a lack of basic services, severe food insecurity and disease outbreaks. We call on the international community to continue to cooperate to ensure humanitarian assistance in South Sudan. South Sudan today is one of the most dangerous places in the world for humanitarian workers. We deeply regret the deaths of three of them last month, with approximately 100 deaths since 2013. We condemn the attacks on humanitarian workers and urgently call on the Government and opposition groups to ensure unhindered and safe access for humanitarian assistance, within the framework of respect for international humanitarian law and an optimal operational environment for the United Nations Mission in South Sudan.”

“We also welcome IGAD's efforts and commitment, which continues its work to bring the Government and opposition groups to the negotiating table through the High-level Revitalization Forum of the peace process. However, it is clear that the process will not have the expected results until the parties take the commitments made seriously and show real political will to deliver on them. We expect full participation and flexibility from the parties in the next phase of the forum, scheduled from 17 to 21 May. The humanitarian situation, as I mentioned, remains alarming. The data presented by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs show us a very difficult reality, in which more than half of the world's population needs humanitarian assistance.”

“Given that complex backdrop, we are aware that it is very difficult to find an immediate solution, especially if deep divides persist between the parties. It is regrettable that the clashes have continued despite the signing of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, in December 2017. For that reason, it is essential to work towards reconciliation between the parties to the conflict, and we therefore highlight the recent progress made in the 2015 agreement on the reunification of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement. We also acknowledge the recent statement by President Salva Kiir calling for the return of the opposition leader, Riek Machar, to Juba, which, if done, could ease tensions on the ground.”

“Mr. Inchauste Jordan (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (Spoke in Spanish): My delegation would like to thank the Under-Secretary-General, Mr. Jean- Pierre Lacroix, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Special Envoy to South Sudan, Mr. Ismael Wais, and Ms. Jackline Nasiwa for their briefings. Similarly, we thank you, Madam President, for your briefing and leadership at the helm of the work of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 2206 (2015), concerning South Sudan. Unfortunately, the situation in South Sudan remains one of the most critical in the world. The constant deterioration of security, the slow progress in the political process and the complicated economic situation are exacerbating the humanitarian crisis, which is increasingly difficult to control and affects a large swath of the population.”

“Those proposals were aimed at making the text more balanced, on the basis of the most recent report of the Secretary- General on the situation concerning Western Sahara (S/2018/277), with a view to crafting a resolution that everyone could fully support. Likewise, we are concerned about the unexpected change made to the text with regard to the duration of the mandate. That change was not discussed at any time during the negotiation process, nor was the delegation of Bolivia consulted thereon. On the basis of the principle of transparency, Bolivia expresses its concern at the arbitrary nature of the penholder's actions in this instance, as this sets a bad precedent in terms of the working practices of this body and could, in the long run, become a very negative custom.”

“We wish also to reiterate our full support for the Secretary-General's proposal to revitalize the negotiation process by infusing it with a fresh dynamic and spirit, in order to achieve, through a negotiated process, ajust, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution leading to the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara, in keeping with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the relevant resolutions of the General Assembly and the Security Council. Despite all of this, my delegation expresses its concern at the fact that none of the proposals made during the negotiations were taken into account.”

“Mr. Inchauste Jordan (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): The delegation of Bolivia voted in favour of resolution 2414 (2018) given the need to relaunch the political process and in order to express its full support to the Personal Envoy of the Secretary- General for Western Sahara, Mr. Horst Kohler, and to the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara in the discharge of their respective missions and mandates.”

“Lastly, we should not fail to mention the problems of young people in the occupied Palestinian territories. We reiterate our concern for the young people who have been detained in recent months by the Israeli security forces, including Ahed Tamimi, who has become a symbol of Palestinian resistance and who is being tried in a military court. That is inadmissible. We call on the international community to respect and protect the fundamental rights of young people. If we do not start working on inclusiveness, prevention, and the protection of this sector of the population, we will not break the vicious cycle of war and we will have great difficulty consolidating peace.”

“We should also support demobilization, disarmament and the reintegration of adolescents and young people formerly linked to armed groups, with particular emphasis on reintegration. That includes providing rehabilitation, psychosocial support, education, gender- specific needs and socioeconomic opportunities, as well as sustained support for their families and communities, including the destigmatization of former child soldiers. Within the framework of the fight against terrorism, comprehensive programmes for recruitment prevention, rehabilitation, reintegration and deradicalization programmes should also be developed, particularly with regard to the issue of foreign terrorist fighters who are returning to their countries of origin, while taking into consideration the issue of accountability when cases warrant it.”

“Young people can contribute positively to conflict resolution, but that potential has not been harnessed enough, owing to a lack of resources and to certain stereotypes that depict young people as agitators or victims of conflict. That is why they have been systematically excluded from decision-making and political processes, as has been the case with the young people's civil-society organizations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that have been formulating strategies to peacefully address the lack of security and how to deal with such issues as basic services, medical care and education. We call on the international community to support such organizations with flexible financing and to take their specific needs into account.”

“To achieve that goal, young people's participation and needs must be taken into account both during and after conflicts. The case of Colombia, where young people gave the peace process a considerable boost is a clear example. Those young people represented hope by being willing to forgive and move forward. With regard to prevention, the contributions of civil-society organizations led by young people, and the impact of the work they do, as well as their experience, must be taken into account because they have great potential for mobilizing their peers as well as the advantage of understanding the local dynamics and priorities that can be fundamental to lasting peace.”

“Resolution 2250 (2015) touches on those aspects and is a good starting point, but it is not enough. The recommendations of the progress study on youth and peace and security, as it establishes, are intended to serve as the starting point for a large-scale transformation in which multilateral organizations, States, civil society and other actors must play their role. Turning to inclusiveness, resolution 2250 (2015) makes a clear call for the participation of young people in decision-making, especially in the areas of peacebuilding, political participation and conflict resolution. In order to do that, an enabling environment must be created and the necessary mechanisms provided. We also believe that the role of young people must be strengthened through social and economic inclusion.”

“In the case of young people who live in conflict-affected areas, living without expectations of being able to develop in a secure environment, in many cases being prevented from going to school or receiving training and forced to leave their homes, they have fewer options and are therefore susceptible to recruitment by armed or terrorist groups. In order to break the vicious cycle of war, we must address the structural causes of conflict as well as its consequences. Interventionist policies and attempts at regime change have had collateral effects, including on young people. We must also take into account inclusiveness and the prevention and the protection of young people in conflict situations, as well as the intrinsic relationship between youth, peace and security and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

“Mr. Inchauste Jordan (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to thank the presidency of Peru for convening and organizing today's meeting. We would also like to welcome the presence of Ms. Jayathma Wickramanayake, the Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth, Mr. Graeme Simpson, Ms. Sophia Pierre-Antoine and Ms. Kessy Ekomo-Soignet and to thank them for their briefings. There are currently nearly 2 billion young people around the world, more than 400 million of whom live in areas affected by conflict or organized violence, according to the report presented by Mr. Simpson (see S/2018/86). It is therefore the duty of the international community to pay particular attention to that sector's needs. War and conflict tend to create a vicious circle for young people as for others.”

“Ebola and its rapid spread throughout Liberia caused the humanitarian situation to deteriorate drastically and that country to become the most affected in the region, both by virtue of the number of deaths and of cases reported. We believe that to be an urgent wake-up call for the international community so that a crisis of those proportions is never repeated in any country in the world. Lastly, we express our gratitude to UNMIL and pay tribute to all the men and women of its military, police and civilian components who spared no effort in fulfilling its mandate, while demonstrating their deep commitment over the past 15 years and successfully concluding the work that has laid the groundwork for prosperity in Liberia.”

“We are confident that His Excellency President George Weah will continue to lead the Government and the people of Liberia on the path towards consolidating the process of national reconciliation through inclusion and combating impunity for abuses committed during the civil war. Ensuring the welfare of the population, in particular the most vulnerable groups, must be the main interest leading towards stabilization and definitive peace for the sole benefit of the Liberian people. We would be remiss if we did not mention the impact that the Ebola epidemic, which resulted in a situation that went far beyond a mere health crisis.”

“We also appreciate the outstanding contributions and good offices provided by the African Union and subregional organizations, exemplified par excellence by the outcome of the summit conference of the Economic Community of West African States Authority of Heads of State held in June 2017, which led to the signing of the Farmington River Declaration, pursuant to which the majority of the Liberian political parties committed to carrying out the peaceful holding of elections, which was fully borne out by the electoral process. We also underscore the outstanding work of Ms. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, former President of Liberia, who paved the way leading to the stability of her country.”

“We highlight the transfer ofsecurity responsibilities to the Liberian authorities in connection with the democratic process the main objective of which was the holding of the October 2017 presidential and representative elections and the transfer of political and administrative power to the new Government in January 2018. The important ties linking good practices, inclusive dialogue and strengthening cooperation between UNMIL and the Liberian Government have made achieving that important milestone possible.”

“We also acknowledge and emphasize the work of the Peacebuilding Commission, which is intended to support Liberia's efforts in the areas of security sector reform, the rule of law, reconciliation and national cohesion. Similarly, we believe that promoting development in Liberia is a priority area. It is imperative that peacekeeping, peacebuilding and development programmes be integrated in a coherent manner so as to respond effectively in the post-conflict context. We are aware that Liberia must continue to deal with important challenges - peacebuilding is a daily effort that requires the active participation of all the people of Liberia and of the entire international community.”

“The inclusive democratic process and the participation of stakeholders at all levels in the political sphere, together with the contribution of the international community and the United Nations, have made it possible to achieve the goal of stability that the people of Liberia have longed for. We commend the work of UNMIL and its leadership in fulfilling its mandate, including monitoring the ceasefire and supporting the Liberian Government's efforts to strengthen peace and stability, as well as actively contributing to the protection of civilians, training local security forces and working to create a peaceful environment conducive to the holding of the elections held last year.”

We are pleased by the political and social stability that Liberia has been able to achieve since the deployment of the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), which ended its operations on 30 March.”

“We remind the parties to the conflict once again that they must allow unconditional access for the delivery of humanitarian assistance, and guarantee and safeguard its security and integrity, especially in besieged and difficult-to-access areas. We reiterate once more our highest recognition of the work undertaken by humanitarian agencies, and we call for respect for international law and international humanitarian law in the discharge of their dangerous duties on the ground. In conclusion, we reject any attempt at fragmentation or sectarianism in Syria, and we believe that the Syrian people must freely decide its future and political leadership within the framework of its sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“We regret that violence continues in the main cities of Syria, but it is even more reprehensible that as a result of those clashes civilian infrastructure, such as hospitals, schools and residential areas, has been affected. We also regret that obstacles remain to the full implementation of resolution 2401 (2018), and we call on all parties involved to make every effort to achieve its effective implementation throughout the Syrian territory, in order to facilitate the provision of humanitarian aid and services in a safe, sustained and unhindered manner, in addition to the realization of medical evacuations of seriously ill and injured persons.”

“According to the latest report of the Secretary- General (S/2018/243), since October 2017, 86,000 civilians returned to the city of Raqqa, 20,600 of whom returned in February alone. We regret that 130 civilians died and 658 were seriously injured in accidents caused by remnants of anti-personnel mines and explosive remnants of war. We reiterate the urgency of demining efforts, beginning with the clearance of explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive devices, as a fundamental step for the safe return of the civilian population. Furthermore, such work is essential for the restoration of basic infrastructure and services to meet immediate humanitarian needs and facilitate long-term reconstruction. In that regard, we believe that the efforts of the United Nations Mine Action Service are key.”

We commend the efforts of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and all the humanitarian agencies that have managed to deliver the humanitarian aid so needed by the people. We hope that those efforts can be duplicated in the besieged and difficult-to-access areas in order to reach as many civilians in need as possible. Bolivia believes that it is important to take all the measures necessary to ensure the reconstruction of Raqqa and other cities in Syria. We call on the relevant parties to spare no effort to ensure the safe and dignified return of the families that were forced to leave their homes for humanitarian and security reasons.”

“Lastly, with regard to the events in the city of Salisbury, we reiterate the importance of conducting an independent, transparent and depoliticized investigation in accordance with current rules and regulations of international law, especially as set forth by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

We also reject any attempt at fragmentation or sectarianism in Syria. Bolivia wants to once again make clear its firm rejection of the use of force or the threat of use of force. We also reject unilateral actions, which are illegal and contrary to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic, and undermine any effort to achieve a political solution.”

“We regret that so far there have been obstacles to the full implementation of resolution 2401 (2018), and we call on all the parties involved to make every effort to effectively implement it throughout Syrian territory. We emphatically reject the ongoing bombardments and indiscriminate attacks, especially those on civilian infrastructure such as health facilities, and we deplore all military activity in residential areas. Such actions only cause more displacements, injuries and deaths. We call on all the parties to respect international humanitarian law and human rights law, including authorizing humanitarian access throughout Syria and to all persons in need, in accordance with the relevant Security Council resolutions.”

“We believe that the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Fact-finding Mission, in line with its mandate, should verify in the most objective, methodological and technical manner the reported use of chemical weapons. Should their use be verified, it must be investigated in an effective and transparent manner in order to ensure that the perpetrators can be identified and tried by the appropriate bodies so as to prevent impunity. We therefore need an independent, impartial and representative entity that will conduct a comprehensive, credible and conclusive investigation. Our major challenge is to ensure that we do not politicize or exploit the Security Council for our own purposes.”

We are deeply concerned about the reported use of chemical weapons in the city of Douma. Bolivia reiterates its condemnation of the use of chemical agents as weapons and considers it to be an unjustifiable criminal act. There can be no justification for their use, regardless of the circumstances or by whom they are used, as it constitutes a serious violation of international law and a grave threat to international peace and security.”

We express our concern about the challenges facing the non-proliferation regime. We reiterate the need for an independent, transparent, objective, impartial and depoliticized investigation, in accordance with the existing rules of international law, in particular within the framework of the Chemical Weapons Convention, to clarify the events of 4 March.”

We reiterate our concern about the issue of children who are left fatherless as a result of sexual abuse. Finally, Bolivia recognizes the national ownership and primary responsibility of the Government and people of Haiti for all aspects of their country's development, and encourages MINUJUSTH to fulfil its mandate with respect to the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Haiti.”

“The United Nations and its members have a collective responsibility to ensure its full implementation. With that in mind, we call on the international community to work to meet its commitments and cooperate with the Republic of Haiti to build solid sanitation and health systems. Cholera remains a central problem that affects not only sanitation and access to water, but all areas of development and stability in Haiti. Fighting that scourge is a priority, as highlighted during the Security Council's visit in 2017. With regard to sexual abuse and exploitation, we take note of the commitment of MINUJUSTH to prevention activities, including training, facilitation of information and counselling.”

We also appreciate and support the work carried out by the Mission in the area of the rule of law and encourage it to pursue its work in coordination with the Government of Haiti. We appreciate the progress made in the fight against cholera through the Secretary-General's new approach.”

“Furthermore, we welcome the appointment of the Ombudsperson's replacement and the future appointment of a focal point within the executive branch to facilitate the implementation of the commitments undertaken through international human rights mechanisms in order to continue strengthening Haitian institutions. We believe that it is essential to ensure the rule of law and to lay the foundation for greater political and social cohesion, as well as to address current socioeconomic and development challenges. Likewise, we commend the Republic of Haiti for assuming the presidency of the Caribbean Community, in addition to the initiative taken by the Heads of State and Government of that organization to create an intraregional workforce to combat the increase in crime and violence in the region.”

“Progress on those benchmarks and their results must be worked on pursuant to the mandate of MINUJUSTH in the areas of the rule of law, security and human rights, in accordance with resolution 2350 (2017). We also highlight Haiti's progress in implementing its reform agenda so as to, inter alia, promote sustainable development and fight corruption through its six political priorities, which include the strengthening and modernization of the justice sector, the adoption of a legislative agenda focused on stimulating investment and the improvement of social services, among others.”

“Similarly, we believe that the new mandate of MINUJUSTH will be decisive, since, in the light of the latest Visit of the Security Council to the country, the long-term needs to be met on the ground have been identified. We must take into account the fact that there is a two-year term to execute a series of essential tasks and objectives in accordance with the 11 benchmarks established for the Mission's exit strategy. In that regard, and in accordance with the latest report of the Secretary-General, we encourage MINUJUSTH and its partners to strengthen their link with the Government of Haiti, in order to "ensure a closer convergence ofviews and priorities and to establish a joint programme of work that will provide a road map for collaboration and joint action" (S/2018/241, para. 54).”

Bolivia reaffirms its commitment to the present and future of the Republic of Haiti. The international community must continue to work in unity, supporting Haiti's economic and social development in order to enable it to face the remaining challenges, particularly in the security sector and the rule of law. We believe that such support should be provided in consultation and close coordination with the Government of Haiti.”

“As a pacifist country, Bolivia sees the path of dialogue and negotiation with clear expressions of political will from both sides for achieving a two-State solution to be the only alternative that can guarantee a just and lasting peace in the conflict between Israel and Palestine. We therefore reaffirm our full commitment to multilateralism and international law and reiterate our support for all international efforts leading to a peaceful solution, such as the Quartet road map, the Madrid principles and the Arab Peace Initiative, inter alia, which will guarantee a just and lasting peace and allow both peoples to live within recognized and secure borders.”

“In January 2018 alone, the Israeli authorities demolished or seized 32 Palestinian- owned structures in the West Bank, and last week we were informed of the Israeli Government's decision to build 1,500 new settlements in Area C. We call on the Government of Israel to cease the expropriation of Palestinian land and halt the expansion of the settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, in accordance with resolution 2334 (2016). We are also convinced that the announcement by some States to change the location of their embassies to the city of Jerusalem will only increase tensions in the region and lead to an escalation of Violence of great proportions.”

“The Plurinational State of Bolivia strongly condemns Israel's disproportionate violent military action against the Palestinian population and calls on the Government of Israel to refrain from the use of violence and respect international humanitarian law, including the protection of civilians. The exacerbation in, and trends of, violence in Gaza are the result of 70 years of unresolved and persistent conflict, including 50 years of illegal occupation of Palestinian territories by the occupying Power, Israel, and the inhumane blockade of the Gaza Strip, which has led to a catastrophic humanitarian situation. As long as this situation persists, a just and lasting peace for both peoples will be less and less likely. During the past 50 years, Israeli policies of dispossession and occupation have filled the Palestinian people with suffering.”

“Mr. Inchauste Jordan (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): We are grateful for the information provided by Assistant Secretary-General Taye-Brook Zerihoun. We are also grateful to the Permanent Mission of Kuwait for requesting this important meeting, and to the presidency for convening it in such a timely manner. Today we woke up to the alarming news that, as a result of violent repression by Israeli security forces, 15 people had been killed and more than 1,200 wounded. All of them were innocent civilians participating in the Great March of Return.”

“In that regard, we support the results of the latest Astana meeting, which enabled the agreements establishing de-escalation zones to be strengthened. We hope they will be reflected on the ground so as to reduce the violence and meet the urgent humanitarian needs. We condemn any attempt to foment fragmentation or sectarianism in Syria and believe that it is the Syrian people who must freely decide their future and their political leadership in the context of their sovereignty and territorial integrity. Finally, we reiterate that the only way to resolve the conflict is through an inclusive, negotiated and agreed political process, led by and for the Syrian people, and aimed at achieving sustainable peace on their territory without foreign pressure of any kind.”

“We emphasize the dangerous work of the personnel of the various agencies and humanitarian assistance bodies, whose staff risk their own lives in carrying out their dangerous work on the ground. We therefore reiterate the importance of full respect for international humanitarian law and international human rights law. We want to take this opportunity to reiterate how important it is to build on the political momentum following the commitments made at the Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi. That should be the channel for reinforcing the Geneva process, led by the United Nations in the context of resolution 2254 (2016). We hope for the speedy implementation of the Sochi outcome and, as a result, the establishment of a constitutional committee that can facilitate a viable political transition.”
