  1. “We look forward to an early resolution of the impasse posed in the context of the acquitted and released persons relocated to the Republic of the Niger.

  2. “Protais Mpiranya following his death has reduced the judicial workload of the institution. The Mechanism is now left with only two main cases relating to its core mandate. We also acknowledge the progress made in other judicial matters. The Mechanism should continue to make headway in its remaining residual functions, including protecting victims and witnesses, tracking the remaining fugitives of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, extending assistance to national jurisdictions and managing the archives of the ad hoc Tribunals and the Mechanism. We also emphasize the importance of cooperation between the Mechanism and the Member States concerned to address legal and logistical challenges.”

  3. “We reiterate the importance of the implementation of the Mechanism’s mandate in strict accordance with the principles of justice, impartiality and fairness. It is our collective responsibility to seek justice for victims. My delegation appreciates Judge Gatti Santana’s outlined core priorities for her presidency, with a focus on an efficient, effective and fair conclusion of the remaining trial and appeal proceedings. We hope that the Mechanism will very soon complete the transition from an operational court to a truly residual institution. We have taken note of the progress made by the Mechanism in the trial proceedings in the Kabuga case, as well as in the appeal proceedings in the Stanišić and Simatović case. The judgment in the Fatuma et al. case and the termination of proceedings against Mr.”

  4. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of India. I join others in thanking the President of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, Judge Graciela Gatti Santana, and Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz for presenting the latest report of the Mechanism. We are particularly delighted to see a female Judge heading the Mechanism. India firmly believes in gender equality, with the full expression and participation of women in public life and our socioeconomic and political discourse. I also take this opportunity to commend outgoing President, Judge Carmel Agius, for his able stewardship, despite enormous challenges, including during the coronavirus disease pandemic. India supports the work of the Mechanism and appreciates its contribution to the fight against impunity.”

  10. “In conclusion, we commend the initiatives of the leadership of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to address the existing challenges, including the security situation in the eastern region. We welcome the preparations for the next general elections and note the efforts made towards an inclusive democratic framework. India has long-standing relations with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We recall with immense satisfaction our contribution to protect its territorial integrity in March 1961 during the Katanga province crisis. Going forward, we remain committed to playing our part in supporting the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on their path towards securing lasting peace, stability and prosperity. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

  11. “As we discuss the upcoming renewal of MONUSCO’s mandate, we acknowledge the efforts made to date towards a steady transition and the joint transition plan agreed between MONUSCO and the Democratic Republic of the Congo authorities. However, the assessment of progress should be realistic. The situation on the ground should guide the eventual drawdown, while ensuring that gains made in the violence-prone provinces are secured on a firmer footing first, so as to avoid any reversal. Strengthening State authority, security organs and justice institutions is equally important. The transition and eventual exit of MONUSCO needs to be gradual, responsible and orderly.”

  12. “As a result, peacekeepers have borne the brunt of anti-United Nations sentiments among the people and the authorities of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is clear that the Mission’s credibility has been dented. We also reiterate the importance of implementing resolution 2589 (2021) in order to deter the culture of impunity by providing greater accountability for crimes against peacekeepers. As one of the largest troop-contributing countries, we are cognizant of the challenges of peacekeeping in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and are fully committed to the implementation of MONUSCO’s mandate.”

  13. “We underscore the importance of a long-term commitment to outcomes, deeper community participation and transparent processes while implementing those projects. In that context, the development by the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) of a communications strategy to sensitize stakeholders about the PDDRCS will be critical. MONUSCO peacekeepers have been working in an extremely challenging environment, both operationally and politically. The lack of clarity in the Mission’s mandate and its creative interpretation have added to the existing complexities. That has also widened the gap between people’s expectations and MONUSCO’s delivery.”

  14. “Lasting solutions to conflict hinge on enduring diplomatic efforts. We welcome the role played by the wider region in opening up the political space for dialogue. The decisions taken at the Luanda mini- summit held last month must be honoured by all armed groups, including the M-23. The Luanda road map and the Nairobi process provide a promising framework for dialogue and talks. We expect the countries of the region, in particular the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, to take full advantage of those constructive efforts. We also welcome the allocation of $6 million to begin the pilot phase of the Disarmament, Demobilization, Community Recovery and Stabilization Programme (PDDRCS) projects in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

  15. “The Mouvement du 23 mars (M-23) is expanding its territorial control in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, and its movement towards Goma is indeed a matter of deep concern. In the past, we have seen how Goma’s capture by armed groups led to large-scale devastation and casualties. The long-drawn cycle of violence in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo cannot continue in perpetuity. Support for armed groups — external and internal — must cease immediately. We also note with concern the increase in the scale of the attacks carried out by the Allied Democratic Forces, including the use of improvised explosive devices. The threat of terrorism in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the region cannot be ignored either, given the established terrorist links within armed groups.”

  16. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of India. I thank the Special Representative of the Secretary- General, Ms. Bintou Keita, and the Secretary General of the East African Community, Mr. Peter Mutuku Mathuki, for their briefings. I also thank Ms. Rebecca Kabuo for presenting civil society’s perspective to the Council. Similarly, I also welcome the presence of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Republic of the Congo at our meeting today. India remains concerned about the volatile security situation in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The activities of armed groups have continued unabated, resulting in the killing of civilians, the displacement of the population and a dire humanitarian situation.”

I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2022/892, which contains the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At this meeting, the Security Council will hear briefings by Ms. Keita, Mr. Mutuku Mathuki, Ms. Kabuo and by Ambassador Lilly Stella Ngyema Ndong, Deputy Permanent Representative of Gabon to the United Nations, on behalf of the Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1533 (2004), concerning the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I now give the floor to Ms. Keita.”
