  1. “In that light, it is particularly encouraging that efforts to put in place effective mechanisms for human rights protection have become an indispensable element of the African Union's activities and policies. Human rights and democracy are two prerequisites that could bring about lasting peace and security on the African continent.”

  2. “As an active troop and capabilities contributor to United Nations missions in Africa for many years, Ukraine is proud to be a part of success stories on the continent. We welcome Cote d'Ivoire being entrusted by the United Nations membership to serve on the Security Council as an elected member with vast experience in peacebuilding and in overcoming past conflict. The United Nations Mission in Liberia is another vivid example of the United Nations positive peacekeeping and stabilization efforts. We must draw from positive transitions from war to peace in order to reinforce the United Nations and regional peace support capacities. Yesterday, the world marked Nelson Mandela International Day. He was a person who devoted his life to the service of humankind in Africa.”

  3. “While resolution 2303 (2016) has yet to produce a breakthrough, we call on Burundi to accept the deployment of the African Union human rights observers and military experts with increased human rights monitoring capacity and police components. Developments in the Central African Republic are a cause for concern. As Chair of the Sanctions Committee on the Central African Republic, Ukraine is especially worried about the continuing presence and violent activity of armed groups. We are ready to continue our practical contribution to support all peace and reconciliation efforts. We recognize the important role of the African Union in that process and welcome the African Union's initiative on peace and reconciliation in the Central African Republic.”

  4. “In the Horn of Africa, a strong relationship between the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia, the United Nations Support Office in Somalia and the African Union Mission in Somalia, as well as the Somali security forces, helped to significantly reduce terrorist activity and the number of recruits to Al-Shabaab, which, however, continues to constitute a threat to peace and security in the region. A similar approach and level of coordination with the international community is desperately required in Burundi. Without meaningful cooperation with the United Nations, the African Union and other international community actors, the road to a political settlement of the crisis will be even longer and, most likely, fraught with additional complications and dangers.”

  5. “As Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1591 (2005), concerning the Sudan, Ukraine fosters further collaboration and dialogue between the Government of the Sudan and the United Nations. In May, the Chair and Committee members visited Khartoum and Darfur, where they received first-hand accounts of the state of implementation of the measures imposed by the relevant Security Council resolutions. The visit helped to develop a number of recommendations intended to review the sanctions regime in order to reflect the needs and demands of the current situation.”

  6. “The African Union-United Nations mission in Darfur has become one of the vivid examples of how the two organizations can be partners in the design and implementation of peacekeeping operations. The African commitment and United Nations resources and experience allowed the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur to implement its mandate effectively, thereby paving the way to transition from peacekeeping to peacebuilding in the region. No less important is the African engagement in promoting the political process in Darfur. We welcome African Union efforts to meaningfully engage all parties in the Sudan in the peace process.”

  7. “Last month, in this very Chamber, Council members expressed a variety of views on ways to enhance United Nations-AU cooperation (see S/PV.7971). At the same time, there was a common understanding that both organizations have to work in concert while using their competitive advantages. We believe that, given the complex nature of threats to international peace and security on the continent, supporting the full operationalization of the African Peace and Security Architecture should be seen as a priority for the African Union. At the same time, we see a need to provide adequate support in logistics and funding for peace and security operations in Africa on a sustainable basis.”

  8. “As an observer to the African Union, Ukraine follows closely the development of the Union's peace support potential and shares the view of the Secretary-General that the world can greatly benefit from African wisdom, African ideas and African solutions. As a country associated with the European Union, we also support the approach of exploring possibilities for trilateral United Nations-EU-AU cooperation in order to ensure effective and sustaining peacebuilding assistance in Africa. The upcoming fifth African Union-EU summit in November will provide an important opportunity in that respect. It is also in that light that Ukraine decided to co-sponsor this year's General Assembly resolution 71/254, on cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union.”

  9. “Twenty years later, in Ukraine, the United Nations, the Security Council and the Secretary-General took no action to stop the occupation of Crimea and the military aggression by Russia. Regional organizations remain one of the most efficient mechanisms that are employed swiftly in response to full-scale conflict or a situation where the civilian population is in danger. Therefore, the United Nations should redouble its efforts to enhance strategic partnerships with them, while building up joint planning and supporting collaboration. The African Union has made tremendous progress in developing its peace support capabilities since the deployment of its mission in Burundi back in 2003. Today it acts as the first responder to crises in Africa, with the authorization of the Security Council.”

  10. “Their causes may be different - some are internal in nature, some are instigated and sustained from outside - but their consequences are similarly horrible. It is true that the long overdue reform of our Organization is yet to be accomplished in order to maintain its once unquestionable credit of trust and to restore its ability to take prompt preventive measures. As a Chinese philosopher once said, it does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. I do not dare challenge that philosophy. Nevertheless, I insist that, in matters of preventing conflicts and gross violations of human rights, the speed of United Nations action is crucial. In 1994, in Rwanda, the United Nations failed to act promptly to prevent genocide.”

  11. “I would like to express our gratitude to you, Sir, for having convened today's open debate. I would also like to thank the Secretary- General and the African Union (AU) Commissioner for Peace and Security, who provided us with an update on strengthening the United Nations-African Union partnership. Ukraine aligns itself with the statement to be delivered later today on behalf of the European Union (EU) and wishes to make several remarks in its national capacity. As we gather here today, peace remains as elusive a goal as it has been throughout human history. Despite the universal appeal for peace and the declared commitment of States to uphold it, wars and armed conflicts remain a recurring feature of today's world affairs.”
