1. “According to information published by the International Committee of the Red Cross on 11 July, it is estimated that more than 313,000 people are suspected to be ill with cholera, while to date more than 1,700 people have lost their lives to the disease. That statistic is four times greater than the figure recorded by the World Health Organization (WHO) - 361 persons - for the months of April and May. Even more concerning is the fact that the number of those who have succumbed to cholera in Yemen alone - 1,304 - is greater than the total number of deaths resulting from the disease in the entire world in 2015 , as reported by WHO.”

The situation in Yemen remains critical, and the statistics - such as those concerning the cholera outbreak, as described in the latest briefings presented to the Council in May (see S/PV.7954) - have surpassed projections to an alarming extent.”

We hope that the international community and financial institutions can provide the necessary cooperation. Finally, as expressed by my country's Minister for Foreign Affairs in a letter dated 28 June, we reaffirm the resolute support of the Bolivian Government for peacebuilding efforts in Colombia as part of fostering a culture of peace and dialogue to ensure the peaceful coexistence of its people. In that regard, in addition to the leadership and the political capital demonstrated by the Government and the leaders of the FARC-EP, we must underscore the third angle of this virtuous triangle, which is the support provided to the victims throughout the peace process.”

8. “Bolivia believes that the parties to the conflict made the right decision when they requested that the Security Council establish a mission to verify the reintegration of ex-combatants. Once again, the Government and the FARC-EP have put their trust in the Security Council and the United Nations. We believe that the members of the Council will continue to provide firm and unanimous support to the peace process in Colombia. I would also like to highlight the remarks made by the Post-Conflict Minister of Colombia, Mr. Rafael Pardo, who, during his recent visit to New York, mentioned plans to deliver on one of the main objectives of the Peace Agreement, which is to raise the standard of living in rural areas and to bridge the existing gap between rural and urban areas.”

9. “For its part, the Government promised to guarantee the physical, legal and socioeconomic safety of the former members of the FARC-EP, as stipulated in the Peace Agreement. We trust that that commitment will be gradually honoured. This phase poses a genuine challenge. The murders of community leaders, human rights defenders and relatives of people with links to the guerrillas or dissidents; people who spread a message of hate instead of reconciliation and the illegal economy, inter alia, are all challenges that illustrate the complexity of the reintegration phase. Peace should be the cord that binds Colombians, and the support of the international community will play a fundamental role in that endeavour.”

10. “In that regard, Bolivia welcomes the road map approved on 29 May and commends both parties on their attitude to the process - calculating each step, establishing committees, analysing each stage, meeting to address challenges and reaching consensus on the way forward. The process met with success because, in spite of their differences, the Government and the FARC- EP are engaged in ongoing talks to achieve their shared goal of peace. It is vital that they maintain and strengthen their attitude towards dialogue and common understanding as they enter the most difficult stage of the process. The road map stipulates that the members of the FARC-EP must surrender all of their weapons by 20 June. That step has been achieved.”

47. “My delegation sees this as a clear sign of the commitment of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the fulfilment of the commitments made under the J CPOA. We also wish to highlight the efforts of the procurement channel, in accordance with the JCPOA, which processes the transfer by States of nuclear or dual-use goods, technologies and/or related services to the Islamic Republic of Iran. These activities, along with periodic reporting, strengthen transparency as regards the proper implementation of resolution 2231 (2015) and the activities set out in its annex B. As on a previous occasion, my delegation expresses its concern at the fact that the report contains no reference to annex A. We believe that both annexes, A and B, are integral and complementary parts that are required for the comprehensive implementation of resolution 2231 (2015).”

We believe that the progress made in this area represents an important milestone in joint diplomatic actions in the quest for horizontal, transparent dialogue in good faith and with reciprocity. The International Atomic Energy Agency, on 15 January, verified that the Islamic Republic of Iran had removed all excess centrifuges and infrastructure from the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant and their transfer to storage at the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant under continuous Agency monitoring, in compliance with the agreed timeline.”
