1. “For that reason, Colombia’s current and future elected leaders must continue to support the peace accord’s implementation for rural development and make progress on improving rural security, addressing land tenure and tackling the root causes of those challenges. It is equally critical that the Security Council continue to support the United Nations Verification Mission as it builds on Colombia’s achievements. Colombia has made great strides towards a just and durable peace since 2016. With the support of the Verification Mission and the Security Council, we look forward to continued progress in protecting human rights, ensuring justice for the victims of the conflict, advancing rural development and building a secure and prosperous future.”

2. “Violence, trafficking in persons and displacement have disproportionately affected ethnic communities, with six Afro-Colombian and 13 indigenous leaders killed during the reporting period. Accelerating the implementation of the Final Agreement’s ethnic chapter remains critical, as its implementation has lagged in comparison to its other chapters. The gender provisions are also being implemented and financed at a slower rate than other parts of the Agreement. Despite the success of the recent elections, women’s participation in the electoral process is affected by gender-based political violence and discrimination, as well as unequal access to resources. As we all know, the full implementation of rural economic plans is a generational project.”

3. “A record number of women ran for office and were elected to Colombia’s Congress, and the elections saw increased participation by indigenous and Afro-Colombian candidates. We are also encouraged that most presidential candidates pledged to continue implementing the Final Agreement for Ending the Conflict and Building a Stable and Lasting Peace. We look forward to the release of the final report of the Truth Commission in June. We know it will include some difficult conclusions, and we call on all parties to reflect carefully on its findings. While we commend the progress made to date, much work remains to be done. The Secretary-General’s report indicates intensified levels of violence in several departments, as well as ongoing attacks on former combatants, human rights defenders and social leaders.”

4. “I thank Mr. Carlos Ruiz Massieu, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Colombia, for his briefing today. We appreciate the vital role that the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia continues to play in supporting peace in Colombia. And we welcome the presence here today of President Duque Márquez and appreciate his consistent engagement with the Security Council. As indicated in the most recent report of the Secretary-General (S/2022/267), Colombia continues to make demonstrable progress in its efforts to implement the peace accord. We are encouraged that the recent legislative elections took place with few disruptions. For the first time, 16 victims’ seats in Colombia’s House of Representatives were filled.”
