  1. “That reality was acknowledged by the head of State, His Excellency Joseph Kabila Kabange, in his speech of 20 December 2012: "For the first time in our history, a presidential term of office has ended without an institutional crisis, with 95 per cent of electoral costs funded by the Republic's own resources." Despite the repeated calls to violence made by certain political leaders during the electoral campaign and following the elections, we were able to avoid a serious deterioration in terms of peace and security in the Democratic Republic of the Congo thanks to the capacity of the Congolese National Police to avert and respond to violence without resort to the excessive use of force.”

  2. “Today, when we look back at what really took place and when we look to the future, we can say with certainty that the second round of democratic elections represent a definitive end in the Democratic Republic of the Congo of an era during which the transfer of power was not based on democratic norms and the funding of the electoral process was provided mainly by the international community.”

  3. “In that respect, allow me to quote from the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, who stated on 28 November 2011: 12-22477 "Serious acts have been committed: the lynching of a number of individuals, both politicians and police officers; the destruction of electoral equipment and of State and private property; the burning down of police stations; and death threats by certain persons. Despite all of those calls for reason, restraint and legality, we witnessed in recent days another serious form of intolerance that violates the right to life and physical safety and to property." But looking beyond the unrest that prevailed before and after the elections, it would be no exaggeration to conclude that the country is resolutely determined to follow a process of returning to normality and that the Congolese people want only one thing: peace.”

  4. “Roger Meece, as well as the logistical and material support provided by MONUSCO to the Independent National Electoral Commission, also deserves mention. In terms of the Violence related to the electoral process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, paragraph 5 of the report contains information on election-related incidents. While their negative consequences for the security of individuals and their property are regrettable, it should be noted that at the time of their occurrence, the Government, through the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, denounced a number of violations and appealed to the Prosecutor General of the Republic, the Prosecutors General in the Appeals Court and the Auditor-General of the FARDC to open investigations into those incidents.”

  5. “But notwithstanding our overall satisfaction with the report, we should like to make a number of comments on four issues: elections and the security situation; human rights and sexual violence; reform of the Congolese judicial system; and armed groups and peacebuilding. I should like first to address the issue of the elections and the security situation. On behalf of the Government and the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, I should like to thank the Secretary-General, His Excellency Mr. Ban Ki-moon, for the support he has provided to the stabilization efforts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and to the elections of 28 November 2011. The work of his Special Representative for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mr.”

  6. “These relate in particular to the joint efforts of the Forces armees de la Republique democratique du Congo (FARDC) and MONUSCO in the context of the process of disarmament, demobilization, repatriation, resettlement and reintegration, as set out in paragraph 73 of the report; the progress achieved by the Congolese judicial authorities in the prosecution and punishment of crimes of sexual violence, as noted in paragraph 76 of the report; and the renewed commitment of the Government to bolster stabilization efforts in the eastern provinces of the country, as well as the progress made in the implementation in areas emerging from armed conflict of the Stabilization and Reconstruction Plan for Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, as noted in paragraph 79 of the report.”

  7. “Meece - whose presence here today I welcome - emphasized that importance. The report before the Council today is significant in that it contains factual information on the events that have taken place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since the previous report of the Secretary- General dated 24 October 2011 (S/2011/656). It covers a crucial period in the history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo - a period during which the Congolese people, for the second time in five years, went to the polls as scheduled and in a generally peaceful atmosphere. We welcome the recommendations contained in the report, particularly since they generally reflect the concerns already expressed by the Government, which it is seeking to address with the help of its traditional partners and MONUSCO.”

  8. “Mrs. Malenga (Democratic Republic of the Congo) (spoke in French): At the outset, Mr. President, allow me to express how pleased I am to see you preside over the Security Council this month. I am overjoyed that the Security Council has decided under your presidency to consider the report of the Secretary- General (S/2012/65) on the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO). I must also commend the excellent work of your predecessor, the Permanent Representative of South Africa, in the presidency of the Security Council last month. Allow me also to highlight the extreme importance of the Secretary-General's report, dated 26 January 2012. The briefing just given by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr.”
