1. “The conditions must be created for improvement in the humanitarian situation. Around half of the Afghan people require humanitarian aid. We recognize the commitment of humanitarian workers despite the interference and aggression they have suffered. Humanitarian operations must be able to act in an independent, impartial, efficient and timely manner, and the role of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan in coordinating these efforts is essential. In the coming months it will be crucial for the various key actors in the peace process to maintain flexibility with regard to the work of the United Nations in their country. We will be waiting for the reports on the activities of Mr. Arnault.”

2. “We welcome the formation of the High Council of State by President Ghani, and call for its membership to reflect a plurality of Afghan voices. The security situation in Afghanistan is very fragile. The increased activity by terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant-Khorasan is of concern. We condemn the deliberate attacks against the civilian population: women, girls, students, humanitarian workers, the health sector and the communications media. The withdrawal of international troops should be orderly and coordinated. It is essential to avoid any negative impact on regional dynamics or on the ability of the Afghan armed forces to confront terrorism. The territory gained at enormous human and economic cost in the fight against this scourge must not be lost.”

3. “The peace negotiations were a watershed and a major achievement in the reconciliation process. The resumption of the negotiations depends to some extent on coordinated and effective action by the international community. My country expresses its support to the initiatives at the bilateral, regional and multilateral levels that have promoted progress in the peace process. But it is not possible to understand the situation in Afghanistan without listening to women, nor will it be possible to make progress without their participation in all decision-making processes and giving them a seat at the table for any dialogue. The future of Afghanistan must be democratic, inclusive and peaceful. It is therefore essential to preserve the progress of the past 20, in particular the economic and social rights of women, youth and minorities.”

4. “Statement by the Permanent Representative of Mexico to the United Nations, Juan Ramon de la Fuente We wish to thank Estonia for convening this debate. We welcome the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan, Mohammad Haneef Atmar, as well as the senior officials who have participated in this meeting, and thank Special Representative Lyons for her report. We also welcome the participation of Ms. Akrami in today’s debate as a representative of civil society. Over the past two decades, Afghanistan has continued to be a subject of concern to the Security Council. Mexico recognizes the resilience of the Afghan people and notes that there has been significant progress, which must be preserved. In light of the complex situation prevailing, we would briefly like to raise the following points: The parties must resume dialogue without delay.”
