  1. “Such cooperation, if complementary and coordinated, enables more effective implementation of mandates and thus better results on the ground. The United Nations-European Union Action Plan for Crisis Management and Peace Operations, the United Nations-European Union Steering Committee on Crisis Management and the Joint United Nations- African Union Framework for an Enhanced Partnership in Peace and Security are excellent examples of successful cooperation. The international community should invest more in such cooperation by building capacities and networks to sustain peace. Let me give a few examples. For instance, Germany co-hosted a conference on the Lake Chad region in September with Nigeria, Norway and the United Nations. The event focused on the humanitarian-development-peace-nexus and the implementation of resolution 2349 (2017).”

  2. “Mr. Licharz (Germany) (spoke in French): I would like to begin by congratulating Cote d'Ivoire on assuming the presidency of the Security Council this month and by thanking you for having convened this debate on a subject of vital importance. (spoke in English) To begin, Germany would like to commend Cote d'lvoire. As recently as last year, it was still the host country of a United Nations peacekeeping mission. Today, it is a member of the Security Council. We can learn a great deal from this success story, and we appreciate the lessons Cote d'Ivoire has shared with us. Let me make two brief points. First, Germany strongly supports cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations on prevention, conflict resolution and peacebuilding.”

  3. “Germany, jointly with our African partners, is committed to supporting and further developing the United Nations- AU partnership, in line with Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations. Based on the Joint United Nations-African Union Framework for an Enhanced Partnership in Peace and Security, we would like to see this partnership develop even further and to address all phases of a conflict, from prevention and peace operations to post-conflict peacebuilding. We are on a good track. We should sustain that momentum and maintain the political will to take the next step, with a View to sustaining peace.”

  4. “In addition to the aforementioned, we would be reassured if two aspects received due attention: first, the establishment of a robust accountability and compliance framework to ensure strategic and financial oversight; and secondly, a human rights and conduct-and-discipline framework in accordance with international human rights law and international humanitarian law. While there can be no doubt that the United Nations and the international community must help provide the resources peacekeeping missions need to deliver on their mandates, we also commend the AU's ongoing efforts to enhance self-reliance and the financing of its activities. In conclusion, the African Union is undoubtedly one of the United Nations most important partners in peace and security on the African continent.”

  5. “It is important to take a holistic approach involving civilian and military means and addressing all phases of a conflict from the outset. At the same time, there is a need to enhance the predictability, sustainability and flexibility of financing for AU-led peace operations authorized by the Security Council. We believe that establishing a mechanism through which AU-led or AU-mandated peace operations could be partly financed through United Nations assessed contributions should be given further consideration, on the understanding that such funding would be on a case-by-case basis, complement African contributions and respect the primacy of the Security Council.”

  6. “The EU currently supports seven African missions. Germany is the largest contributor to those projects. For instance, in the case of Mali, in the context of the EU Training Mission, currently led by a German Force Commander, we provide training for the soldiers of the Joint Force of the Group of Five for the Sahel and deploy personnel to two civilian missions - the EU Common Security and Defence Policy (EUCAP) Sahel Niger and EUCAP Sahel Mali - which advise their host countries on security sector reforms. Let me now turn to the question of financing. While Germany recognizes that financing is an integral aspect of any peace operation, we would like to the see a broader debate on performance and human rights compliance, as well as the nexus of peace operations involving prevention and peacebuilding activities.”

  7. “In addition, we support the ongoing process of enhancing the performance and effectiveness of United Nations peacekeeping operations through bilateral and multilateral programmes. For instance, Germany provides mobile training teams for predeployment training in the area of improvised explosive devices to troop- and police-contributing countries in the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali. We have already trained troops from Egypt, Guinea and Senegal. We also provide in-mission training to further increase command capabilities in high-risk missions in Africa, and we support peacekeeping training institutes in Mali, Ghana and Kenya. Moreover, in the context of the EU, as will be highlighted by the observer of the European Union, Germany is actively engaged.”

  8. “It is important to strengthen regional organizations to enable them to secure peace and stability in their own regions. Throughout the past years, Germany has already stepped up its contribution to crisis prevention efforts and peacekeeping on the African continent. We support capacity-building for the African Peace and Security Architecture, provide training and specialized equipment to a large number of African troop- and police-contributing countries. We are also contributing to the Africa-wide roll-out ofbest practices in controlling small arms and light weapons by United Nations peace missions in order to stop their proliferation and prevent them from falling into the hands of non-State actors.”

  9. “I will focus on three points: first, the support of the United Nations and the international community for African countries; secondly, efforts by the United Nations and the international community to help African Union-led peace operations obtain more predictable and sustainable financing; and, thirdly, the partnership between the United Nations and the African Union on peacekeeping; First, Germany was among the first countries to endorse the Declaration of Shared Commitments on Peacekeeping Operations, put forth by the Secretary-General in August. We are committed to its implementation. We take the shared commitment of improving cooperation with regional organizations very seriously, in particular with the African Union.”

  10. “Ijoin others in thanking the Chinese presidency for convening this open debate on peace and security in Africa. I also join others in paying tribute to the peacekeepers from Malawi and Tanzania who lost their lives recently in a heinous attack. We also thank the Secretary-General and the African Union (AU) Commissioner for Peace and Security for their briefings. We commend the engagement of our African partners expressed in their statements during this open debate. Germany aligns itself with the statement to be made by the observer of the European Union (EU).”
