“I welcome the President to New York. I commend his country’s presidency of the Security Council this month for convening today’s open debate on curbing the diversion of and illicit trafficking in arms — a challenge that Kenya considers requiring enhanced action by the Security Council. I thank Mr. Robin Geiss of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research and Ms. María Pía Devoto for their briefings. During our presidency in October, the Security Council had the opportunity to deliberate on ways of addressing the threat posed by illicit flows of small arms and light weapons, particularly in the context of peace operations (S/PV.8874). There was wide support from members for a continuation of these deliberations; we therefore hope that today’s pertinent debate continues to benefit the Council’s actions in this important arena.”

“In conclusion, Kenya looks forward to continued conversations on how the Security Council can help insert capabilities and tools that allow States and the international community to be better protected against conflicts driven by the politicization of racial, ethnic, religious and other social and cultural differences, as well as the economic differences that result from corruption.”

“There are important conversations going on, particularly in the global North on the regulation of such technologies, but the global South is not sufficiently included. We must increase the engagement among States, technology companies and the United Nations. Positive collaboration will enable the development and deployment of early-warning tools to be used within peace operations and country teams in order to detect escalation trends and facilitate pre-emptive measures in the name of peace.”

“The Commission, for its part, should come to grips with the role that exclusion and the escalation of identity-based conflicts and grievances play in the ensuing violence. Fourthly, civic and political speech is increasingly mediated by technology. Between the right to free speech of the speaker to the right of association of the listener is a social-media algorithm built to profit from the effects of how it directs and ranks that speech. The result is a subtle but important challenge to free speech and freedom of association. These precious values must now contend with echo chambers and fake news, misinformation and disinformation at scale. Technology allows billions to be targeted as individuals. It is changing politics and will continue to do so in both positive ways and extremely destructive ones.”

“Indeed, the major affliction of the international multilateral system is a symptom of this corruption that we see reflected in double standards and ever-moving goalposts in the service of an unjust hierarchy established to maintain the most powerful and the wealthiest at the expense of the weakest and the most vulnerable. Secondly, the Security Council can contribute to breaking the vicious cycles involving exclusion, inequality and conflict by embedding within the United Nations peacekeeping architecture capacity-building mandates that deliver State institutions that promote equality and harness diversity for sustained peace and development. Thirdly, the Security Council should make much greater use of the advisory role of the Peacebuilding Commission.”

“Protecting international peace and security will require a Security Council and a United Nations and regional organizations that actively encourage and enable the effective management of diversity, in compliance with international human rights law and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I will suggest four points that should underpin our efforts to address exclusion, inequality and conflicts on the basis of race, ethnicity, religious affiliation and other differences. First, Excellency, we embrace your powerful point on the need to challenge the corruption that is endemic in the international system. It is the effects of that corruption that lead to the poverty, inequalities and exclusions that then become weaponized and turned into the bases of violent conflict.”

“The result is a fundamental challenge to stability and the maintenance of peace and security. This is becoming an underlying cause and driver of many protracted conflicts, involving both State and non-State actors, that have had serious security and humanitarian consequences around the world. This weaponization of difference is the basis of radicalization conducive to terrorism. Everywhere it breaks into hate speech and incitement to violence, atrocities and war crimes are the result. It is leading to the disruption of civic peace. It is eroding trust in institutions and striking at the legitimacy that is a necessary component of effective governance.”

“We embrace your profound recognition of the disfiguring, demoralizing and destructive inequalities and exclusions in the global multilateral and economic system and agree with your insight that, at its core, a globalized corruption is one of the greatest risks to peace and security. Kenya is convinced that a key competence of the State in its protection of national security is its legal, administrative and operational capacity in responding to underlying grievances on the basis of social and cultural differences. That is a competence as important to the wealthiest and most established democracies as it is to countries in the active grip of war and terrorism. In every part of the world, differences are being weaponized, whether in the context of elections or in demands for political or economic change.”

“I congratulate Your Excellency, Mr. Andrés Manuel López Obrador, President of the United Mexican States, on assuming the presidency of the Security Council and for convening this important debate. I also thank His Excellency the Secretary-General and Ms. Lourdes Tibán Guala for their insightful briefings. Your choice, Mr. President, of topic of today is strongly linked to the debate on diversity, State-building and the search for peace (see S/PV.8877), which was presided over by President Uhuru Kenyatta almost exactly a month ago. They have in common an urgency in calling the world’s attention to the risks to peace and security that arise from the State’s inability to prevent and address conflicts defined by race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender and other markers of identity before they escalate into violence.”

“We continue to offer our condolences to all those who have lost their lives to terrorism, be they civilians or Blue Helmets in service to the international community. I want to conclude by thanking all those involved in making the trip a success. I thank the Secretariat for ensuring that logistics and security were taken care of amid many challenges, as well as the Government of the Niger for its wonderful hospitality. I also thank my colleagues on the trip for their outstanding collaboration. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. On behalf of the Council, I should like to express appreciation to the Secretariat and all members of the Security Council that participated in the mission for the manner in which they discharged their important responsibilities.”

“The visits by the G-5 Sahel Joint Force allowed us to understand that there must be progress made by the Security Council in how it supports African forces that are combating terrorism on the ground. While the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) is doing a commendable job in its undertaking to implement the resolution, it is clear that, ultimately, it is insufficient to the task before the Sahel and Mali. There must be support for efforts such as the G-5 Sahel Joint Force if indeed the Sahel to prevail. We were touched to visit the memorial site for the victims of terrorism in the Niger, as we were to visit wall of heroes of MINUSMA fallen peacekeepers in Bamako.”

“We urge the transitional authorities to continue on the path of compliance with their commitments to the people of Mali and to the international community. When we left Mali, we heard of the expulsion of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Special Envoy, some of the reasons for which were transmitted to us. We understand the sovereign rights of Mali, but we very much hope that the expulsion did not reflect any hesitation in engaging with ECOWAS or compliance with ECOWAS expectations on the transition in Mali. Overall, the field visit allowed us to better understand the challenges on the ground, the most glaring of which being the security challenges in the region.”

“The Niger’s strategy of embracing and protecting democracy, and of promoting inclusivity and local level development projects that are prioritized and built by the local people, seemed to Kenya to offer a clear path for countries that are beset by the same challenge of terrorism to be able to emerge successfully. To go back to the Mali leg of the trip, the Security Council inquired about the preparations for holding the elections within the established 18-month timeline, including presidential elections on 27 February. Kenya believes that the holding of the elections and the transition process need to be clear and transparent. The progress towards holding elections that allow the people of Mali to choose their leaders is a goal that Kenya supports fully.”

“What the Council encountered was a Sahel region that is facing deep difficulty in managing to respond to the challenge of terrorism. In the Niger, the members of the Security Council met with the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Force Commander of the Joint Force of the Group of Five for the Sahel (G-5 Sahel) and representatives of the United Nations country team. The thing that struck Kenya the most in the Niger was the response of the Government of the Niger, which prioritizes democratic legitimacy as a key dimension in stabilizing the country.”

“I thank the representative of the Niger for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Kenya. The Security Council undertook, from 22 to 26 October, a field visit to Mali and the Niger to assess the political, security, humanitarian and development efforts carried out in those countries. Kenya is proud to have facilitated the visit to the Sahel by the Security Council during its presidency. In Mali, the members of the Security Council met with the transitional Government, including the transitional President, the Prime Minister, the signatory armed groups, representatives of civil society, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Mali, the United Nations country team and other individuals engaged in the security situation.”

“We would like the Security Council to be mindful of the historical role of the African Union as guarantor of the Settlement Plan for the conflict in Western Sahara signed by the two parties in 1991, which led to the deployment of MINURSO to oversee the ceasefire and organize a referendum for self-determination of the people of Western Sahara. Finally, as a country that won its independence from colonial rule, Kenya firmly upholds Africa’s support for Western Sahara’s claim to self-determination, which is reflected in its membership in the African Union. We urge all countries to support this just cause for the people of Western Sahara. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. The meeting rose at 10.55 a.m.”

“Going forward, we call for the Council to build on these three issues by, first, returning to the original language of self-determination through a referendum — we must be honest and admit that this aim is being obscured and frustrated, yet it is a right that every formerly colonized member of the Security Council, and of the United Nations more broadly, understands is inalienable; secondly, being clear that the MINURSO mandate must always include reporting on any human rights abuses of the people of Western Sahara; and thirdly, undertaking a review of the MINURSO mandate based on the assessment report of its operations to make it more fit for purpose in responding to the changing environment and facilitating the political process.”

“We are glad that these issues were included in the resolution, although the language could have been stronger in reflecting previously agreed positions that are clear on the goal being a referendum on self-determination.”

“The communiqué further calls on the Secretary-General to request the United Nations Legal Counsel to provide a legal opinion on the opening of consulates in the non-self-governing territory of Western Sahara. We have circulated to Council members a copy of the communiqué from the 9 March meeting of the AU Peace and Security Council chaired by President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya. We urge members to take note of the important recommendations it contains. Our engagements on the text of resolution 2602 (2021) have sought to achieve three results: to make sure that it was made stronger in its embrace of the goal of self-determination, to have a sharper focus on the reporting of human rights abuses, and to have a strategic assessment of MINURSO operations.”

“De Mistura has been appointed in response to the appeal made by the Peace and Security Council of the African Union (AU) meeting at the level of Heads of State and Government on 9 March 2021 to the Secretary-General to expedite the appointment of a new Personal Envoy. The success of the Personal Envoy is premised on the Security Council ensuring that the parties are incentivized to give him every support necessary. It is also necessary for him to work with the African Union. Paragraph 5 of the Peace and Security Council communiqué invites the incoming Personal Envoy to work closely with the AU in accordance with the provisions of the United Nations Charter and the AU- United Nations Framework for Enhanced Partnership in Peace and Security.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Kenya. Kenya voted in favour of resolution 2602 (2021) for two reasons: first, to reaffirm Kenya’s support for the work of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), and, secondly, and more significantly, to join in expressing full support for Mr. Staffan de Mistura, Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General to Western Sahara, in a bid to reinvigorate the stalled process in the search for a political solution that delivers the long-awaited self- determination of Western Sahara. Support for the new Personal Envoy is critical if he is to succeed. For Kenya, Mr.”

In closing, I would like to reaffirm Kenya’s solidarity with the people of Syria in their quest for lasting peace through a Syrian-led and Syrian-owned political dialogue. We continue to deplore the fact that this process in the Security Council has not shown sufficient unity within the Council, which is all at the expense of the Syrian people.

“Turning to humanitarian issues, Kenya is concerned that even as coronavirus disease cases continue to rise, only 1.6 per cent of the population is fully vaccinated. This, again, exposes the glaring weaknesses of the multilateral system. The international community must do much more to ensure the equitable distribution of vaccines to all people across Syria. Kenya commends the United Nations humanitarian response through the early recovery and livelihoods activities, which represents a promise of hope for recovery towards normalcy. We encourage the expansion of such activities, especially those aimed at restoring schools and hospitals.”

“The persistent insecurity characterized by aerial air strikes, indiscriminate shelling and improvised- explosive-device attacks across Syria continues to be of great concern. Kenya condemns in particular the recent heinous attacks in Damascus and Ariha, Idlib, which claimed many innocent lives. Those concerned must understand that there is no military or violent solution to the situation and that it is their responsibility to the Syrian people to de-escalate hostilities and uphold the nationwide ceasefire. The Council must renew its efforts to combat Security Council-listed terrorist groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, including holding accountable those responsible for heinous crimes.”

“We call on all members of the Committee to remain focused and dedicated to the process. We also encourage the convening of further rounds of Constitutional Committee meetings to maintain momentum in the discussions and to expedite the political resolution of the conflict. We cannot overemphasize the imperative for the voices of the widest spectrum of Syrians, including civil society, the diverse group of women represented by the Women’s Advisory Board, the youth and minority groups, to be heard to ensure a meaningful political transformation. The unresolved issue of the plight of detainees and missing persons also needs to be addressed as a confidence- and trust-building measure, which is vital to the success of the political process. In addition, of course, the plight of those detainees and missing persons requires justice.”
