  3. “I conclude by reiterating the need for the parties to be consistent in their implementation of resolution 1244 (1999) and to constructively engage in dialogue in order to make swift progress on a comprehensive normalization of their relations at the highest levels but also between the peoples. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. The representative of Serbia has asked for the floor to make a further statement. I now give him the floor.”

  4. “With that in mind, Kenya recommends that the parties recommit to inserting their appreciation and embrace for diversity into all their policies — and not only into their policies but also into the growth and development of their political culture. I would like to commend the participation of women and young people who seek to have their voice heard, particularly if it is a voice that brings the parties back together and highlights the points of convergence and common interests that we are sure still exist. I echo the call in the Secretary-General’s report (S/2021/861) for the provision of an enabling environment for the safe, dignified and sustainable return and reintegration of all internally displaced persons and returnees to Kosovo society. Behind every displaced person is a tragedy, a lost opportunity, loneliness and mental suffering.”

  5. “The objective will be for the Security Council to have a keen appreciation of the ways that hate speech and incitement are spread through social media. We will hear from leading figures in the private sector. The reason I focus on speech, hatred and incitement is because the comment by Special Representative Tanin on the lack of trust between the parties is reflected not only between the parties but sometimes between segments of the population. On Tuesday, 12 October, President Kenyatta observed that that mistrust leads to the deterioration of trust in State institutions and that, in turn, leads to a weakening of the State’s legitimacy. When that happens, it makes the State unable to prevent, mitigate or resolve conflicts it is experiencing.”

  6. “On Tuesday, 12 October, one of Kenya’s signature events, which was presided over by His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta (see S/PV.8877), focused on the issues of diversity, State-building and the search for peace. At that event, President Kenyatta noted that the poor management of diversity is leading to grave new threats to international peace and security. I would like to add that, in addition to creating new threats, it risks reigniting conflicts we thought were in the past. We are particularly focused not only on what leaders say to one another but what their followers say to one another. To that end, we will hold an Arria Formula meeting later this month on addressing and countering hate speech and preventing incitement to discrimination, hostility and violence on social media.”

  7. “That is important because it is only through sustained dialogue that the normalization of relations between the two parties can be achieved. As we all know, social media and mainstream media are increasingly important means of communication across the demographic spectrum, especially among youth engaging in politics. Unfortunately, its use in the spread of incitement and hate speech is well documented and has been reflected in some of the reports submitted to the Security Council. Kenya welcomes the pilot initiative by UNMIK to monitor incitement to hatred and hate speech on social and online media. Such an initiative, if objectively driven, has the potential to help develop strategies to effectively counter those corrosive forms of speech.”

  8. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Kenya. I thank Special Representative of the Secretary- General Zahir Tanin for his briefing and service. Kenya commends the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) for its efforts to promote security, stability and respect for human rights in Kosovo and the region, in line with its mandate. We note in that regard that UNMIK has had constructive engagement with Pristina and Belgrade, all communities in Kosovo and regional and international actors. Kenya welcomes the meetings held over the summer between Belgrade and Pristina, including the 15 June high-level talks between Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.”
