“A number of operations are finding it very difficult to implement their mandates due to insufficient human, material and intelligence resources, as well as weak deployment in the main areas where tensions prevail. That is the case, for example, with UNMISS and with the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic, but it also applies to many others. In addition to providing a physical presence that enables them to protect thousands of civilians, as we have seen in South Sudan, the United Nations can and must do better by investing more in prevention and mobility. Nor should robust intervention to protect civilians be excluded.”

“Protection of civilians is an essential task that is part of the mandate of virtually all United Nations peacekeeping operations. That protection must also be a moral obligation. However, we must ensure that we have a common understanding of the concept at all levels, including strategic, operational and tactical ones. It is also important that the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and regional organizations, especially the African Union, strive to elaborate and, if need be, reach agreement on the principles for the protection of civilians for their respective organizations. Providing a peacekeeping operation with a mandate for the protection of civilians is insufficient unless that operation possesses the necessary human, logistical and material resources to discharge its mission.”

“Peacekeeping soldiers spare no effort to fulfil their mandates, despite inadequate resources and the difficulties of all kinds that they face, including the security environment that confronts them. I would like to make several additional observations. With respect to the protection of civilians, Chad rejects the abusive use of the concept of using force against States without regard for their political and sovereign independence. A number of countries, particularly in Africa, continue to suffer from that situation. We recognize that the presence of the United Nations in failed States or those that are about to become so, constitutes a guarantee of security for defenceless civilian populations that faces all manner of threats.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I thank the Malaysian presidency of the Security Council for convening this annual public debate on peacekeeping operations. Iwould also like to thank Mr. Herve Ladsous, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, the Force Commanders of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), and the Chief of Staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) for their briefings. Finally, I welcome the presence of the other Force Commanders, including the Commander of the African Union peacekeeping force in Somalia, who join us today. Chad would like to pay homage to the 123,560 members of the 16 United Nations peacekeeping operations currently under way around the world.”

“Lastly, Chad would like to thank Ambassadors Van Bohemen, Oyarzun Marchesi and Murmokaite, and assures them of its cooperation with the Committees that they chair. We encourage the three Committees to enhance their cooperation and coordination. Chad calls upon all States to work in good faith to combat violent extremism and terrorism.”

“We welcome the establishment by the Counter- Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) and the Group of Experts supporting the Committee established pursuant to Security Council resolution 1540 (2004) of a shared focal point for the Caribbean, and the cooperation regarding terrorist financing and the freezing of terrorist assets between the Executive Directorate and the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team established pursuant to Security Council resolution 1526 (2004), concerning Al-Qaida. In that regard, we welcome the joint observations they made to Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania during the preparation of those countries' laws on the implementation of resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1373 (2001), particularly in relation to the freezing of assets and the implementation of financial measures.”

“With regard to cooperation and coordination among the three Security Committees established to combat terrorism and their Expert Groups, it is essential to fight together against threats to international peace and security resulting from terrorist acts and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction by non-State actors. We note in particular the participation of the Expert Groups in various workshops, communication activities, country visits, cooperation with international, regional and subregional organizations and exchanges of information since November 2014.”

“Much, however, remains to be done for the universal implementation of the resolution, and we therefore encourage the Committee to enhance the role of the national focal points and to improve its system for the facilitation of assistance to States. We also encourage the organization of country visits and workshops and cooperation with international and regional organizations. We hope that the comprehensive review of the implementation of the resolution, expected at the end of 2016, will give impetus to such implementation, and note in that regard that the Committee has already agreed on four themes for the production of the review and that a work plan is under development.”

“With regard to the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), concerning the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, we take note of the progress in the implementation of that resolution since November 2014 and of the submission by the Committee to the Council of its review of such implementation for 2014 and its programme of work for 2015. We welcome the efforts of Member States to implement the resolution and note that 174 countries, or 90 per cent of States, have presented reports to the Committee on steps they have taken in that regard. In addition, a large number of States have submitted voluntary national action plans for such implementation.”

“In addition to country visits, we also encourage high- level visits. In that regard, we welcome the trip made by the Chair of the Committee to Mali and the Niger, along with the Executive Director of the Committee, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General to the Sahel and the African Union Special Representative for Counter-Terrorism Cooperation. In future, it would be desirable if those Committee members who so request could participate in such missions in their respective geographical areas. We encourage the holding of special meetings away from New York, following the example of the one to be held in Madrid in July 2015, and we propose the organization of another such meeting in Africa in coordination with the African Union.”

“Such visits are crucial to following up the implementation of anti-terrorist measures, in particular resolutions 1373 (2001), 1624 (2005) and 2178 (2014). They help to facilitate technical assistance and to reinforce the capacity of States to counter the terrorist threat. That is why we encourage the Committee to continue to undertake country visits. Nonetheless, we would suggest recruiting experts at the national or regional levels, over and beyond those recruited in New York, so as to avoid very costly trips for them. We welcome the fact that the Committee has adopted an approach based on risk that aims to strengthen and build capacity based on the abilities of each State. We agree with the Chair of the Committee to recommend that each State should design its anti-terrorist strategies based on its own security problems.”

“We thank them all for their reports. We hope that their successors will be selected and appointed taking into consideration a geographical representation as broad as possible, in line with article 101 of the Charter of the United Nations. With regard to the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001), concerning counter-terrorism, Chad welcomes the work done by the Committee in response to the threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters. We take note of the three reports that the Committee to the Council during this year and we would recommend it to focus further on managing, controlling and securing borders. We also note that since 2005 the Committee has visited more than half of the Member States.”

“We very much look forward to the next report of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011), concerning Libya, because we are particularly concerned by the presence of terrorists groups linked to Daesh in the south of the country, bordering Chad, and also by the terrorist threat in the whole of the Sahel region. It is also important to continue to list individuals and entities that fall under sanctions. The Committee must continue to update this list regularly. Nonetheless, we commend the Committee for its 2014 triennial review and we would encourage States to provide information for the 2015 triennial review. We welcome the important role of the Ombudsperson, Ms. Kimberley Prost, the Al-Qaida Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, as well as of the Coordinator, Mr. Alexander Evans.”

“The flow of foreign terrorist fighters recruited through the Internet and social networks to go to Iraq, Syria, Libya and other countries it taking on a very worrying dimension, while the human cost of the attacks perpetrated by those groups is enormous. Several welcome actions have been taken into order to curb the terrorist threat. In that regard, I should like to welcome the adoption of resolutions 2161 (2014), 2170 (2014), 2178 (2014), 2195 (2014), 2199 (2015), 2214 (2015) and 2220 (2015). I also commend the fact that the relevant Committees have submitted reports on ISIL, the Al-Nusra Front and foreign terrorist fighters.”

“We think that, in order to eliminate terrorism it is important, among other things, to settle conflicts and to destroy terrorist safe havens and cut off their supplies, especially in terms of arms and ammunition. Chad, which yesterday experienced three deadly attacks in its capital, condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It calls upon the Security Council to take urgent measures against the illicit provision of arms and ammunition to non-State actors, and to terrorist groups in particular. With regard to the threat posed by Al-Qaida and its affiliated persons and entities, this is constantly growing. Organizations, such as the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the Al-Nusra Front, Boko Haram and others are conquering whole swaths of territories.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I would like to the thank Ambassadors Gerard van Bohemen of New Zealand, Raimonda Murmokaite of Lithuania and Roman Oyarzun Marchesi of Spain - respectively as Chairs of the Security Council Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011), concerning Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities; the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001), concerning Counter-Terrorism; and the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), on non-proliferation - for their briefings. We welcome their leadership as Chairs ofthose Committees. While it is true that everybody is concerned about putting an end to terrorism, it is also true that the best way of achieving this is not to contribute to it.”

“We congratulate and encourage the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) and its monitoring, mentoring and advising team for the 16 January resumption of its work for the first time since April 2014, when it had to stop owing to security concerns. Chad also commends the appointment of an independent and experienced lawyer who is to carry out an inquiry into allegations of negligence and cover- up by EULEX personnel. We reiterate our trust in that institution, which should continue to monitor the situation and carry out its responsibilities in terms of the rule of law. In conclusion, we would like to reiterate our support and encouragement to Pristina regarding the significant progress made on national reconciliation and the normalization of its relations with Belgrade.”

“We therefore welcome the ongoing support of UNMIK to shed more light on that issue. We also commend the voluntary return, in January, February and March of 36 people. Over 25,896 people from minority groups have thus returned since 2000. We believe that the normalization of that situation necessarily involves providing assurances to and guaranteeing security for ethnic minorities. However, despite those signs of improvement, there are ongoing issues that hamper good will between the communities, in particular with respect to property and the illegal occupation of homes and other areas belonging to Serbs. We commend in that respect the technical support by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) aimed at resolving such disputes through the provision of property titles.”

“We welcome the commitment of the Government to combating violent extremism, radicalism and terrorism through the vote by the Assembly of Kosovo on 12 March on the law banning involvement in armed conflict outside of Kosovo, in particular in Syria and Iraq. Regarding illegal immigration towards Europe, we commend the praiseworthy efforts of the Kosovo authorities to combat that trend, but urge them to do more to dismantle the criminal networks that underpin it. Regarding disappeared persons, Chad welcomes the publication on 4 February of the Kosovo Memory Book. The Book - which lists the names of some 13,535 people, civilians and military personnel, who were killed in the conflict between 1998 and 2000 - is an important step, even if 1,655 victims have not been identified to date.”

“It is regrettable that they led to the withdrawal from the Government of the Minister for Communities and Returns, Mr. Aleksandar Jablanovie, who is himself Serb, and the suspension of any participation by him in the consensus Government. Chad nonetheless welcomes the decision taken by Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucie on 26 March to establish telephone contact with Mr. Isa Mustapha, his counterpart in Pristina. We commend that initiative, which is the first of its kind, will help strengthen cooperation between the two leaders and is a good step towards appeasing tensions and reducing incidents between the two communities.”

“With respect to political developments, we commend the establishment of a new Government and the renewal of the high-level dialogue on 9 February in Brussels between Belgrade and Pristina, represented by the two Prime Ministers, under the aegis of the European Union. Those discussions led to concrete results, the most important of which was the agreement on integrating minorities' representatives into the judicial system. As to the security situation, despite the general calm observed, there have been scattered demonstrations of discontent, denouncing the social problems faced by and acts of ethnically based violence committed against religious minorities places of worship. That has exacerbated ethnic and religious tensions between Muslims and Serbs. Such incidents will not help national reconciliation.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I would like, at the outset, to thank Mr. Farid Zarif, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) for his briefing. I would like to warmly welcome Mr. Ivica Dacie, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, and Mr. Hashim Thaci, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Kosovo, and thank them for their statements. We take note of the report of the Secretary- General for the period from 16 January to 15 April 2015 (S/2015/303), which highlights the priorities of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo and key developments since the previous report (S/2015/74).”

“We should also note that the reforms designed to ensure the independence of public media are stalled, thanks to disagreement between the three public broadcasters in Bosnia and Herzegovina and their consequent failure to establish a national public television and radio entity as required under State legislation. We pay deserved tribute to the European Union military mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which continues to play an important role in supporting the country's efforts to maintain conditions conducive to safety and security. We also reaffirm our beliefin Bosnia and Herzegovina's territorial integrity and sovereignty, and we support the Office of the High Representative in its efforts to achieve the five objectives and two conditions necessary of the Office's closure.”

“We are concerned about the attitude of authorities at various levels who continue to refuse to implement many decisions of the Constitutional Court and the general lack of progress in strengthening the rule of law in the country. Concerning the perpetrators of war crimes, we note the federal authorities' lack of persistence in prosecuting them. The political pressure being put on the police is also a serious obstacle to its ability to function properly. Regarding the issue of refugees and displaced persons, we believe that this is a central piece of the General Framework Agreement for Peace, and one that will require that the State authorities and its constituent bodies ensure the creation of the political, economic and social conditions conducive to their return and harmonious reintegration without discrimination.”

“We welcome the election of the new joint Presidency, composed ofa Serb, a Croat and aBosniak member, which took office in November in a constructive spirit. We also commend the Parliamentary Assembly's endorsement on 23 February of the commitment to reforms ahead of the country's entry into the European Union. We call on all authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina to cooperate fully with the High Representative and the relevant international organizations, as laid down in article 9 of the General Framework Agreement, and to allow the High Representative access to information and official documents that he needs in order to carry out his mandate.”

“We further welcome the announcement on 10 November of the official election results for the State of Bosnia and Herzegovina and for the two entities and the 10 cantons in the Federation. We also commend the progress made regarding concerns about the Law on the Temporary Prohibition of Disposal of State Property enacted in March 2005, while deploring the challenges that various parties have made during the reporting period to the General Framework Agreement for Peace, which are an affront to Bosnia and Herzegovina's sovereignty and territorial integrity. We were surprised by the announcement by a member of the Bosnia and Herzegovina House of Peoples, reported in the media on 9 April, about his party's intention to adopt a resolution on a free and independent Republika Srpska, and we condemn it, since it undermines the country's cohesion.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I would like to thank the High Representative for Implementation of the Peace Agreement on Bosnia and Herzegovina for the briefing on his report for the period from 21 October 2014 to 21 April 2015 (S/2015/300, annex). The period was dominated by three main political developments, the process of forming a Government following the October 2014 elections, the efforts to kick-start Bosnia and Herzegovina's integration into the European Union and the actions and statements challenging the fundamental principles ofthe Dayton Peace Agreement. Inthatregard,we welcometheHighRepresentative's efforts to ensure the upholding ofthe civilian aspects of the Dayton Agreement, promote recent advances and to continue to implement the gains that have been made in implementing the Agreement.”

“During the debate held under the Argentine presidency last October (see S/PV.7289), we had an opportunity to set out the efforts undertaken and the progress achieved, including the establishment of early-warning systems through women's groups aimed at prevention and the protection of vulnerable populations. Finally, I would like to highlight the fate of the 219 Nigerian girls still being held by Boko Haram, who are a daily reminder that we have not yet done enough. Despite the strong emotions that this has elicited through the worldwide media campaign, their liberation becomes ever less likely. In general terms, we need to change the mindset and our practices so as to work together to eradicate sexual Violence for the sake of international peace and security.”

“A quota of 30 per cent has been applied in the competitive recruitment of police officers so as to respond to the need to promote gender equality. On the legal front, the President of the Republic recently signed an order based on the law on empowerment of the National Assembly prohibiting early marriage so as to protect the comprehensive development of young girls. Moreover, discussions focused on women's empowerment were held during national women's week in Chad and the International Women's Day, on 8 March. On that occasion, the Government inaugurated the first Maison de la femme in N'dj amena. In conclusion, let me underscore that Chad is today host to 500,000 refugees from the Central African Republic, the Sudan and Nigeria, and that the scourge of sexual Violence also affects the camps where they are housed.”

“In times of conflict, ensuring the systematic participation of women in peace processes and that sexual violence is explicitly addressed in ceasefire and peace agreements is one way of guaranteeing justice for victims. In the aftermath of conflict, the integration and participation of women in all decision-making processes, in the public and private spheres alike, will help eliminate negative social norms, reduce discrimination and promote gender equality. Since the end of the civil war in Chad, the joint efforts of the national authorities and United Nations agencies have sought to integrate women into the national security forces, including the Gendarmerie Nationale and the National and Nomadic Guard.”

“In that regard, the report lists 45 groups, by country, credibly suspected of committing or being responsible for patterns of rape and other forms of sexual violence. Moreover, it must be underscored that sexual violence is the result ofsocial behaviours and constitutes a violation of human rights and humanitarian law. Despite the fear of stigmatization and reprisals, it is almost universal. It is therefore crucial that Victims of sexual violence be afforded justice as a means of contributing to international peace and security. In that regard, Chad encourages the international community to assist Governments to fight against impunity by developing and implementing national plans or strategies in line with international standards for fighting sexual violence.”

“However, as in the specific case of Liberia, the difficulty remains that many violations were committed by minors. Despite the tragic and troubling nature of sexual violence in conflict, Chad welcomes the ever-stronger political momentum that has been built around this issue over recent years and the determined efforts by the international community and States aiming to create the conditions for Victims' voices to be heard. Against the tragic scale of the situation, States are recognizing and meeting their obligations to prosecute those who perpetrate such violence and to ensure Victims protection and access to justice. These obligations also extend to non-State actors, who, according to the report of the Secretary-General (S/2015/203), are responsible for more than 60 per cent of conflict-related sexual violence.”

“First of all, we note that in situations of conflict there is a real mobilization with respect to this issue, whose effects and impacts are of very serious concern in the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Mali, where thousands of people, particularly women and girls, fall victim to rape and abuse and have no access to health-care services or justice. Sexual violence is also used by terrorist armed groups as a tactic of war and terror, as we have seen in Yemen, Mali, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan and Iraq. Lastly, it results in the forced displacement of populations in certain countries. Furthermore, significant progress has been made in developing standards in post-conflict situations, including for the provision of victims' services as well as in establishing accountability.”

“In peace time, these acts of violence often have serious consequences while the resources to address them remain insufficient. In contrast, in time of war or conflict, the subject remains taboo and poorlu documented. The report of the Secretary-General (S/2015/203), based on information collected in 19 countries where United Nations peacekeeping operations and country teams are deployed, sheds light on sexual violence in two specific cases and introduces a series of new elements that are useful to our reflection and for response.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I thank the Jordanian presidency for convening this important debate on sexual violence in conflict. I also thank Ms. Zainab Hawa Bangura, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, for her briefing, and Ms. Hamsatu Allamin, for her statement. My delegation endorses the statement that will be made by the observer of the African Union. Yesterday, 14 April, we sadly commemorated one year of captivity of the 276 young girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria. Since then, hundreds of others have been wrested from their families and communities for purposes of sexual violence. Sexual violence, which is characterized by rape, sexual slavery, prostitution, and forced pregnancies and sterilization, has always existed in all cultures of the world.”

“According to the rotation arrangements for certain contingents, troop levels were already adjusted to 4,615 at 18 February 2015, and should be declining gradually to just above 2,370 in 2016. We take due note of the appeal for the strengthening of the police component so as to handle follow-up and provide support for the electoral process. We hope that MINUSTAH will have the staffing levels and the training and effectiveness necessary to provide the technical and logistical assistance necessary for the holding of the elections. We would like here to reiterate our support to Ms. Sandra Honore, Special Representative of the Secretary- General and Head of MINUSTAH, and we thank her and all of her team for their commitment.”

“Given this situation, we are pleased with the ongoing improvement in the response and capacity of the Haitian National Police, whose operations usually are carried out without MINUSTAH's operational contribution. We encourage MINUSTAH and the national authorities to continue their efforts to train 15,000 personnel by 2016. We welcome the positive cooperation between MINUSTAH, the United Nations police and other United Nations agencies, and the Haitian authorities aimed at attaining that objective. Regarding the reconfiguration of the Mission, we support the two-phase drawdown plan proposed by the Secretary-General, as set out by resolution 2180 (2014).”

“Nevertheless, as we await an appropriate solution to the problem of prison overpopulation, we would encourage MINUSTAH to continue to support the improvement of detention-centre infrastructure, with respect for the rights of women ensured through the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). On the security front, Chad notes that the situation remains relatively stable, although the street protests organized by opposition parties that did not sign the agreement, as well as those against the increase in petrol prices, exacerbate anti-Government sentiment. Public order is also threatened by crime, including killings and kidnappings perpetrated by gangs and criminal groups. Other public issues include road blockades, the destruction of property and attacks against police officers.”

“Chad encourages the national authorities and specialized agencies to develop and implement strategies, particularly in the area of public health, to help families and the impacted communities. We take due note of the fact that United Nations agencies have made progress in the financing of more than 80 projects in the areas of economic integration and human rights. We also call on the Government to scale up its efforts to bring about economic and social stability for the people in need. Regarding human rights, we are concerned about the situation of those in prison, in particular women. We welcome the steps taken and the technical support provided in the drafting of the penal code.”

“Poverty, the earthquake and other natural disasters have left deep scars, thus requiring consistent efforts to relaunch the country's economy. About 3 million people suffer food insecurity, while 600,000 others, including 100,000 children under-five years of age, are severely impacted. The report of the Secretary-General (S/2015/157) also notes that at the end of December 2014, about 80,000 internally displaced persons remained in 105 camps across the country. We therefore call upon the national authorities, humanitarian agencies and the international community to find sustainable solutions to relocating and reintegrating those vulnerable people. With respect to public health, the report notes a substantial increase in 2015 of cholera cases.”

“Chad welcomes and encourages all actors and thanks them for their good offices, as well as the facilitators and mediators for their tireless efforts to stabilize and thereby normalize the political situation in Haiti. We welcome the Haitian Government's significant participation and investment of $13.5 million in preparations for the elections, which will be decisive in reinstating democracy. We therefore encourage partners and the international community to scale up efforts in providing the technical, logistical and financial support necessary to ensure transparency and credibility in the long-awaited free and democratic elections. Moreover, we believe that the normalization of the political situation will allow political, economic and social stakeholders to concentrate on the major social and economic challenges facing the country.”

In that regard, the nomination, on 25 December 2014, of a new Prime Minister, the signing of a tripartite agreement among the heads of the three branches of power, as well as the signing, on 11 January, of a political accord among 16 political parties, the constitutional amendment on extending the terms of the parliamentarians, the establishment of the provisional Electoral Council and the electoral calendar for the forthcoming municipal, parliamentary and presidential elections between July and December, all demonstrate the remarkable achievements made in only four months.”

I welcome the presence of the Permanent Representative of Haiti at this meeting. Chad notes with satisfaction that Haiti's political situation is progressively and rapidly reconfiguring.”

“We also reiterate the Secretary-General's call for an increase in humanitarian assistance and welcome the fact that significant numbers of refugees are returning to Afghanistan. In conclusion, we hope that the positive steps taken by the new Afghan authorities at the political and diplomatic levels will be successful. We send a warning to all armed groups that attack humanitarian personnel in order to prevent them from delivering aid to people in need. Finally, we reiterate our encouragement to all the personnel of the United Nations and other humanitarian agencies who, despite the difficult conditions in which they work in Afghanistan, continue to do their best to come to the aid of the Afghan people.”

“In terms of the fight against drugs and drug trafficking, Chad welcomes the most recent figures showing a decrease in drug trafficking, which has taken an incalculable toll on global security. We encourage the new Afghan authorities to continue to work towards its complete eradication. Therefore, we reiterate our encouragement to Afghanistan's neighbouring States and the international community to intensify their cross-border cooperation and fight against drugs and illicit trafficking. We remain concerned about the deterioration in the humanitarian situation, in particular that of internally displaced persons, resulting from natural disasters and urge the international community to come to their aid.”

“Chad condemns the attacks against administrative and district centres, security force checkpoints and major roadways and calls on the Afghan Government and its partners to enhance their efforts to eradicate the growing insecurity, in particular in the south, south- east and east of the country. Chad welcomes the political and diplomatic efforts at the regional and international levels, in particular on the part of China, to consolidate peace and security in Afghanistan, and we encourage its supporters to continue on that path. We condemn all the violence and terrorist acts perpetrated by the armed groups and call on them to quickly join the national reconciliation process initiated by the Government for the well-being of the Afghan people, who aspire only to peace, which is a sine qua non for the country's development.”

“We honour the memory of those who gave their lives and call on the Afghan Government and its partners to enhance their vigilance so as to avoid, after the departure of ISAF, a situation such as that in Iraq, in particular given the allegiance of certain groups to the Islamic State and the presence of foreign fighters on Afghan soil. We deplore the climate of uncertainty brought about by the political impasse, which has encouraged elements that are hostile to the Government to seek to undermine the population's confidence in the Government throughout the country. We also deplore the astonishing number of victims of that violence over the past year.”

“We therefore note with satisfaction the reforms undertaken by the new authorities, including the national reconciliation process aimed at achieving a lasting resolution of the conflict by the Afghans themselves. We also welcome the efforts agreed to by the international community, UNAMA and Afghan stakeholders during this crucial phase in Afghanistan's history. On the security front, we welcome the end of the transition process, on 31 December 2014, which affected the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the Afghan forces and allowed the latter to shoulder full responsibility for national security and enabled the beginning of the new, non-combat NATO support mission, in accordance with resolution 2189 (2014). We pay tribute to ISAF for the role it played and the enormous sacrifices it made.”
