  1. “We must act urgently and now, because any further delay in its adoption is likely to strengthen the terrorists' position, and the price of their removal will be even higher for us all.”

  2. “Northern Mali is gradually being transformed into a sanctuary for terrorist groups engaged, with total impunity, in the worst possible abuses and massive violations of human rights. That terrorist presence threatens every State in West Africa and the Sahel, but also those of the Maghreb and beyond. We are talking about a real danger to international peace and security, which therefore demands a comprehensive and determined response on the part of the international community. That is why we believe that the deployment of an international support mission is so vital to help restore the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Mali and to end the terrorist presence in our lands. For that to happen, it is essential that the Security Council adopt a resolution authorizing the deployment of a support mission in the next few days.”

  3. “Regarding the multidimensional crisis in Mali, which represents a synthesis and culmination of the threats and ills afflicting the Sahel - a region that, it should be stressed, includes several ECOWAS countries - I would like to reiterate here and now the urgency and diligence with which the Security Council should be authorizing the deployment of an African-led international support mission to Mali and the necessary logistical and financial support for it. I wish to recall that the request to deploy an international support mission such as the Council is currently considering was made by the entire African continent, speaking in one voice, including the Government of Mali, ECOWAS, which I represent, and the African Union.”

  4. “In the face of all those threats, it is important that the integrated strategy be developed as soon as possible, endorsed by all and implemented - not only for the benefit of the people of the Sahel countries, of course, but also for the welfare ofAfrican peoples in general and people around the world who suffer in various ways as a consequence of those evils. In that regard, I welcome the appointment of the Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Sahel, former Prime Minister Romano Prodi. He has already set to work, paying a preliminary visit to many heads of State in the Sahel region and holding a meeting in Rome on 7 December to identify the essential concrete and coordinated actions needed to resolve the crisis in the region.”

  5. “Those problems are the proliferation of small arms and light weapons; trafficking in arms, drugs and other banned goods; trafficking in persons, hostage-taking and the recruitment of child soldiers; the forced displacement of populations, whether because of changes in grazing areas or armed conflict and natural disasters that create refugees and internally displaced persons; the impoverishment of populations due to extreme weather conditions; violation of human rights and desecration of sacred places, including some recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage sites; and, to top it all, the presence of ever more rapidly growing, highly dangerous terrorist groups with large quantities of sophisticated weapons from the arsenals of the former Libyan regime.”

  6. “With regard to the United Nations integrated regional strategy for the Sahel that the whole world expects to see in the next few weeks, it is important to note that particular emphasis should be placed on strengthening intraregional, interregional and international cooperation and coordination with a view to better addressing, together, the complex, multidimensional and transnational problems the Sahel region is facing.”

  7. “Today's meeting follows up on the high-level meeting on the Sahel held in New York on 26 September at the initiative of the Secretary-General, which enabled broad consensus on the part of the international community on two points: first, the urgent need to support a United Nations integrated regional strategy for the Sahel on the issues of governance, security, humanitarian action, human rights and sustainable development, in accordance with resolution 2056 (2012); and, secondly, the urgent need for international intervention in Mali in the framework of our collective security.”

  8. “Mr. Koffi Diby (cote d'Ivoire) (spoke in French): I am very pleased and honoured to address this gathering on behalf of His Excellency Mr. Alassane Ouattara, current Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), who sends his fraternal greetings. In my capacity as current Chairman of the ECOWAS Council of Ministers, I express our sincere congratulations to you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for December, and thank you for taking the initiative of convening this important meeting on the situation in the Sahel, which demands a rapid response in the areas of peace and security, humanitarian assistance, human rights and development.”
