  1. “Concerning the financing of operations undertaken under United Nations mandate, concrete measures designed to make their arrangements more predictable, lasting and flexible have been proposed by the African Union-United Nations Panel of Experts led by Mr. Romano Prodi. The fact is that the two financing mechanisms are based on voluntary contributions, used for financing capacity-building, and obligatory contributions levied by the United Nations for financing Security Council peacekeeping operations. We deplore the Council's refusal to take the slightest step forward in how this is implemented, as demonstrated by the positions taken by some delegations during the negotiations for resolution 2167 (2014), introduced by Rwanda, and the presidential statement we have just adopted (S/PRST/2014/27).”

  2. “Besides this, these organizations' approach to imposing peace, unlike classic peacekeeping, seems to be bearing fruit on the continent. We all remember the prowess of the Rapid Intervention Brigade of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and AMISOM's success in Somalia against Al-Shabaab. We should also consider ways and means for bringing peace, since we are beginning to realize that there is less and less peace to keep. The partnership between the two organizations should therefore also be looking at information from the various operations being conducted in Africa and adapting to the changing situation.”

  3. “We urge the offices to continue to support the planning and management of the onset, deployment and operation of African Union missions and to make communication between the two organizations more effective in preparation for the possible transfer of responsibilities to the United Nations. We are anxiously waiting to see what lessons may be learned from the transition of the two African Union operations to United Nations peacekeeping missions and the specific recommendations that could provided to inform future transitions. We should keep in mind that the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur in the Sudan, the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), MISCA and MINUSCA were first initiated by African regional economic communities and the African Union. The Security Council intervened later to take up the baton.”

  4. “In addition, as the ten-year programme to strengthen the AU's capacities is set to end in 2016, the United Nations and the AU should accelerate the work carried out in the Joint Task Force that was established at the fifteenth meeting of the Regional Coordination Mechanism for Africa in order to design a successor programme that could take on the African Union's Agenda 2063. With regard to transitions, we welcome the support provided by the United Nations, and in particular its African Union offices for the African-led International Support Mission for the Central African Republic (MISCA) and the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA).”

  5. “Given those conflicts, it is important that we meet together the new waves of challenges, which are terrorism, extreme violence and organized transnational crime, in particular in West and Central Africa, the Sahel, the Maghreb and the Horn of Africa. In this regard, the United Nations must consider the possibility of instituting a five-year plan to support efforts aimed at achieving those objectives. In addition, it is important to support the Panel of the Wise of the African Union and to strengthen cooperation for the good offices among the envoys of the two organizations.”

  6. “We also encourage the Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council to consider ways to strengthen their partnership in the areas of conflict prevention, settlement and management and peacekeeping operations. We propose that they venture to work together towards an armed conflict-free Africa by 2020, in accordance with the solemn declaration made on the occasion of the AU's fiftieth anniversary. In the same vein, we urge both Councils to resolve the conflicts in Libya, northern Mali, Darfur, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and Somalia as a matter of priority.”

  7. “At the institutional level, we note the cooperation on various aspects of the African Peace and Security Architecture, and specifically the early warning system, preventive diplomacy, mediation, electoral assistance, the maintenance of peace and addressing issues of post-conflict reconstruction. We would like to strengthen this cooperation in particular by improving exchanges of information and joint assessments. We encourage the Joint Task Force on Peace and Security of the African Union and the United Nations to step up its efforts in order to establish a common understanding of the causes and motives of conflict in Africa and to promote a joint approach to resolving them.”

  8. “It is still relevant - I would even say strategic. How could it be otherwise between the Security Council, which is responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security, and Africa, which unfortunately is the stage for most conflicts and where many United Nations peacekeeping missions are deployed? Chad commends the progress made in the partnerships between the two institutions. We believe that the two organizations are complementary and pursue the same goals with regard to issues of peace and security. By way of illustration, I would cite certain axes of the focus of the cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union concerning peacekeeping operations.”

  9. “At the outset, I would like to add my voice to that of the Secretary-General in expressing my condolences to the people and Government of Pakistan, who once again have fallen Victims to terrorist barbarism. I would like to thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Mr. Pierre Buyoya, High Representative of the African Union for Mali and the Sahel, for their statements. The Charter of the United Nations confers upon the Security Council the main responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. The Charter also envisages, in Chapter VIII, partnerships with regional and subregional organizations for the maintenance of international peace and security. The partnership between the United Nations and the African Union (AU) has often been discussed in Security Council debates.”

  10. “I thank Mr. Buyoya for his briefing. The Council has before it the text of a statement by the President on behalf of the Council on the subject of today's meeting. I thank the Council members for their valuable contributions to this statement. In accordance with the understanding reached among the members of the Council, I shall take it that the members of the Security Council agree to the statement, which will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/2014/27. It was so decided. The President (spoke in French): I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Minister for Foreign Affairs and African Integration of Chad.”

  11. “The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2014/879, which contains a letter dated 8 December 2014 from the Permanent Representative of Chad to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary- General, transmitting a concept paper on the item under consideration. I wish to warmly welcome the Secretary-General, His Excellency Mr. Ban Ki-moon, and I now give him the floor.”

  13. “I would like to most firmly condemn the attacks perpetrated recently by Daesh against religious and ethnic minorities in Iraq, as well as the beheading of journalists and humanitarian workers. The authors of those hateful crimes must be found so that they can answer for their acts in court. In conclusion, I think that in order for us to have the greatest chances of overcoming what I have called "the international terrorist", we must act. We must act in solidarity and in a coordinated manner at all times and in all places.”

  14. “Furthermore, we believe that the involvement of militias within the Government's armed forces might exacerbate intercommunity tensions and perpetuate the political polarization. Once again, we stress the need to address the root causes of violence in Iraq and to accelerate the political process by an inclusive national dialogue in order to establish democratic governance, the rule of law, social justice and equal opportunity. The people of Iraq deserve to live in stable, prosperous and secure State where all groups, including religious and ethnic minorities, can participate in the political process and have the opportunity to develop a sense of belonging.”

  15. “Reconquering the Daesh-controlled areas in Iraq will be possible only ifthe Sunni issues are taken into account. Therefore, we believe it is necessary to combat Daesh politically, militarily and ideologically by integrating the local and regional complexities into the strategies of an international coalition. With that in mind, the international community needs to support the Government of the new Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi in order to enable him to establish an inclusive policy, breaking with the past, bringing together all Iraqis around a social project, free from the ethnicity- and sectarian-based conflict. We call on all religious and civilian sectors in Iraq to demonstrate their cohesion in order to turn a new page in their history.”

  16. “Hundreds of Chadian soldiers have fallen - five just yesterday - and dozens have been injured. We are providing our unflagging support to the United States, the States of the region, France and other partners, which are doing all they can to prevent the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, or Daesh, from being able to cause harm. We believe that the fight against the terrorist groups cannot be waged only through wide-scale military action. There is also and above all a need to focus on the deep-seated root causes of the Iraqi crisis. As we know, Daesh has benefitted from fertile ground, which has promoted its apparent expansion and has exploited the feelings of frustration, injustice and despair within a significant group of Iraqi society, which feels discriminated and excluded from the management of the country.”

  17. “For that reason, Al-Qaida and other assimilated and affiliated terrorist groups, in particular Daesh, have found fertile ground in which to spread their form of transnational jihadism, thereby threatening peace and stability in Iraq and beyond. Chad remains profoundly concerned by the prevailing climate today in Iraq following the large-scale offensives launched by Daesh, which still control localities in the country. Daesh is spreading terror and committing unparalleled atrocities in Iraq and Syria. It is a real threat, not only to those two countries, but also to the international community as a whole. That is why Chad, which treats the fight against terrorism as a top priority, is playing its part, in particular in Mali, where it has paid and continues to pay a heavy price in the fight against terrorism.”

  18. “I also take the opportunity to welcome the United States presidency of the Security Council during the month of September and I assure it of our full support. I would like to thank Mr. Nickolay Mladenov, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq, and our colleague Ibrahim Al-Jaafari, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iraq, for their briefings. The political situation in Iraq is critical and has been for several months now. The political upheavals in the region, the disintegration of the States and foreign interference have exacerbated internal conflicts.”

  19. “Mr. Mahamat (Chad) (spoke in French): As this is the first time that I have taken the floor in this Chamber, allow me to welcome my colleagues and ministers. I would like to thank the ambassadors representing our States and the Secretary-General and those working with him on the excellent work that they do on a daily basis to maintain peace and security. Peace and security remain dangerously threatened, in particular by terrorism. In that regard, I refer to the type ofinternational terrorism represented by Al-Qaida, Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram and Daesh, to mention but a few. I would also like to thank Secretary of State John Kerry for holding this open debate, which comes at the right time, given the grave situation in which Iraq finds itself.”
