  1. “Therefore, in 2016, Germany has again contributed to the Peacebuilding Fund. This year, the amount is $11 million. Germany stands ready to further refine, in consultation with partners, the concept of civilian stabilization as a contribution to sustaining peace.”

  2. “That would require, first, an integrated approach. All instruments at our disposal should be utilized as the situation demands. That would include the tools of diplomacy and mediation, development policy, financial contributions, police assistance and, where necessary, military peace operations. Secondly, it would require the strengthening of existing tools. The Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) is a valuable instrument that can help us to improve the focus of our efforts. The Commission needs to assume a more active role in sustaining peace, in close coordination with the Security Council. In order to achieve that, the rules of procedure of the PBC should be reviewed and streamlined. Thirdly, all of that requires money. The Peacebuilding Fund is an important catalyst for implementing stabilization projects.”

  3. “However, we have also seen that stabilization measures will fail in the absence of a political will for change. Therefore, measures must be designed in a way as to enable the first steps towards reconciliation between parties to the conflict. Stabilization can help lay the foundations for a social and political consensus and legitimate political structures. In Mali, for instance, Germany is assisting the Government in implementing the peace agreement, with a particular focus on moving ahead with decentralization. Only when decentralization becomes visible on the ground and the affected population feels real change in their lives can the peace agreement achieve the necessary momentum. We strongly advocate for generally implementing the concept of civilian stabilization within the framework of United Nations missions.”

  4. “By doing so, it serves the overarching purpose of supporting and sustaining political processes aimed at non-violent conflict resolution. Through concrete measures on the ground, such stabilization contributes to containing, and ultimately ending, violence. I will give an example. Together with the United Nations Development Programme, we have developed the Stabilization Facility for Libya. The Facility provides for the quick rehabilitation of critical infrastructure, enhances the capacity of municipalities and supports local authorities in their efforts to play a more active role in peacebuilding. It supports the new Government of National Accord's efforts to build its legitimacy in the eyes of the population. Germany provides a major part of the funding for the Facility.”

  5. “Germany welcomes the focus ofthis debate on peacebuilding in Africa. We share our African partners' vision of a peaceful, prosperous and integrated continent, and we have consistently supported African and United Nations mechanisms that work to that end. Germany also believes that peacebuilding must be seen as an endeavour that encompasses the whole lifespan of a conflict, from crisis prevention to post-conflict efforts. We need an approach that is more innovative than one based simply on institution-building. Drawing lessons from past conflicts, Germany has been one of the main actors in developing and promoting the concept of stabilizing the lives of civilians. Such stabilization is targeted at creating a secure environment and improving the living conditions of people afflicted by internal or inter-State armed conflict.”
