“It is bold and determined, has swift deployment capacities and increasingly takes risks and imposes peace where it didn't exist, taking into account linguistic, historical, geographical and cultural symmetries, thus arriving at a better understanding of the realities on the ground, all of which is undeniable. Despite weaknesses in financial, human and logistical and material resources, the AU has deployed a number of peacekeeping operations on the continent, specifically the United Nations Mission in the Sudan, the AU-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, the African Union Military Observer Mission in Somalia and the African-led International Support Mission in Mali, as well as the International Support Mission in the Central African Republic. Those regional operations have greatly contributed to peace and security internationally.”

“In that regard, the United Nations should establish and strengthen effective partnerships with regional and subregional organizations. We particularly welcome the partnership and cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union in the area of peacekeeping. We applaud the annual meeting of the members of the Security Council and the members of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union, along with consultations between the Secretariats of the United Nations and the African Union Commission through their respective offices, and we encourage exchanges of personnel and knowledge between the United Nations and the African Union at all levels and in all areas. The African Union, which is the successor to the Organization of African Unity, is a young but committed organization.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I would like to congratulate the Rwandan presidency for taking the initiative of convening this open debate on "United Nations peacekeeping operations: The United Nations and regional partnership and its evolution". I would also like to thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Mr. Popowski of the European Union and Mr. Antonio of the African Union for their briefings. In my statement, I will emphasize the partnership between the United Nations and the African Union. There are three main areas I would like to stress, namely, the political, operational and financial. In terms of the political, despite the primacy of the Security Council, the dispositions of Chapter VIII of the Charter set out and encourage agreements with regional entities to maintain international peace and security.”

“To conclude, Chad welcomes the role of the PBC in the countries on its agenda and calls for strengthening its role in advocacy, the mobilization of resources and the formulation of integrated strategies aimed at peacebuilding and post-conflict reconciliation. However, Chad is concerned about the many remaining challenges, particularly in the Central African Republic, the Sudan, South Sudan and elsewhere. We anticipate the 10-year peacebuilding review that will take place in 2015 to evaluate progress made in implementing the main recommendations formulated following the 2010 review and to take stock of the challenges that remain.”

“In that context, it is essential to raise awareness and draw lessons. The economic emancipation of women can indeed contribute to effective economic growth in countries emerging from conflict, as well as to improving the quality of life and the social impact of economic recovery policies and efforts. We encourage the emancipation and participation of women in recovery efforts in post- conflict countries, and urge the lifting of all obstacles to women's access to justice, resources, financial means and economic participation. Furthermore, it is important to consider the gender dimension in the process of national reconciliation. The Commission could assist countries in establishing reconciliation processes that take due account of women's role.”

“We note the Commission's debates to consider the four action areas - namely, work in the field, results and impacts, forms of cooperation, and transition and results - as the essential core of its future programme of work. My country encourages the PBC to convene other such debates, as necessary. We note the conclusions of the programme of work, in particular relating to future matters concerning the roles of the Commission's members, as well as the role of the main United Nations bodies concerning the strategic dimension of the Commission's essential functions and the working methods and preparations for the 2015 review. Chad welcomes the taking into account of gender equality issues in the work of the Commission and welcomes the partnership with UN-Women in examining the role of women in reform efforts in post-conflict countries.”

“We welcome the strengthening of the consistency of peacebuilding actions in the countries concerned and coordination between the Commission and the Peacebuilding Fund in that respect, and encourage a strengthened partnership between the Commission and high-level United Nations officials on the ground. We also welcome the informal consultations leading to the PBC's new working methods involving the countries on its agenda, the mutual learning among the country configurations, and the convening of annual sessions of the Commission to allow for deeper interaction and closer cooperation among the actors in New York and those on the ground and in the capitals of Member States.”

“We welcome the partnership established among the international financial institutions and regional development banks within a multidimensional framework, as well as support for the actions taken by the States themselves to mobilize resources. In that context, Burundi's experience, in particular the positive results of the finance division, has shown that strengthening countries' capacities to generate domestic funds has enabled them to finance priority reconstruction and peacebuilding actions themselves. Such experience could be shared with other countries on the PBC's agenda. We encourage efforts to find ways and means of involving the private sector, with a focus on economic growth and job creation in countries emerging from conflict.”

“We note that $5 million was provided by the Peacebuilding Fund's Immediate Response Facility to facilitate the work of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau to help the country to continue the process of re-establishing constitutional order. We deplore the difficulties that the Commission has encountered in Guinea-Bissau and the Central African Republic due to the unconstitutional changes that have taken place. We also note that the programme for marshalling resources has made it possible to promote and to advance the implementation of the programme of political and economic reforms, and that, by October 2013, approximately 52 per cent of the $2.5 billion in pledges made had been disbursed.”

“By the same token, we also welcome the support to Liberia in designing and launching the national reconciliation process, as well as the support to the activities carried out by the United Nations and the region in preparing for the legislative elections in Guinea. We also welcome the launching by the Government of Liberia of the Road Map for National Healing, Peacebuilding and Reconciliation and the National Palava Hut Programme. We encourage the Commission to make concerted efforts with the Government and its partners for their implementation. We also note the holding of a workshop on security sector reform in order to strengthen the links between justice and security actors and between them and the legislature.”

“With the adoption of the prosperity programme, the launch of the transition and the withdrawal of UNIPSIL, the work and functions of the Commission in Sierra Leone need to be refocused and adapted to the specific needs and an evaluation of the situation on the ground. In that regard, we welcome the regular dialogue with the Government of Sierra Leone and its partners. We call upon the international community to continue to meet the needs of the country in terms of peacebuilding. We also welcome the support for Burundi in the follow-up to the Geneva Partners Conference in 2012, and welcome the follow-up activities to the conference in question in awareness-raising and in regard to preparations for the 2015 elections.”

“We also reiterate the important role of the Commission in taking stock of the potential risks and the gaps in the efforts of the PBC undertaken in the countries on its agenda, the follow up in the level of attention given and engagement of national, regional and international actors, the promotion of coherence and alignment in national policies, the activities and aims of the United Nations and of other entities,as well as in a successful transition for the United Nations missions in the countries on the agenda. We welcome the support for the transition of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Sierra Leone (UNIPSIL) as well as for the country's own transition.”

In that regard, we welcome the designation of Rwanda as coordinator of an informal process of evaluation and review of the progress made and the challenges encountered in the management of relations between these two bodies.”

I also thank Mr. Vladimir Drobnjak of Croatia and Mr. Antonio de Aguiar Patriota of Brazil for their briefings. First of all, I would like to welcome the commemoration of Peacebuilding Day and the holding of the first annual session of the Commission on 23 June. We welcome the informal debates launched by the Organizational Committee as well as the new partnership between the Peacebuilding Support Office and the Dag Hammarskjold Foundation.”

“In conclusion, we call on the international community and the future Afghan Government to take all relevant measures to strengthen the country's security after the withdrawal of the International Security Assistance Force. We offer our heartfelt support to all United Nations personnel working in difficult and dangerous conditions in order to maintain peace and security in Afghanistan.”

“We invite and encourage Afghanistan's neighbouring States to continue to work towards coordination and the cross-border fight against trafficking in drugs and weapons and we call on international community to support those efforts. We deplore the fact that the humanitarian situation has deteriorated as a result of natural disasters bringing suffering to vulnerable populations in the northern part of Afghanistan, in particular women, children and the elderly. We support the Secretary-General's call to increase humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan. We condemn all armed groups that are attacking humanitarian personnel in order to prevent them from bringing assistance to those in need. We also condemn the recruitment of child soldiers and violence against women and girls.”

“We wish to express our sympathy with the Afghan people, the families and staff of the accredited diplomatic missions in Afghanistan for the victims of the deadly attacks. We wish a speedy recovery to the injured. Chad believes that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations is criminal and unjust, whatever the purpose, the time, the place and the perpetrators. We welcome the political and diplomatic efforts deployed at the regional level for the strengthening peace and security in Afghanistan. We encourage those promoting peace and security to continue in that direction. We are worried, however, by the increase in drug and narcotics trafficking, which adversely affects the population of the region and farbeyond. In that regard, we welcome the Government's work to eradicate the cultivation of opium and its related enforcement efforts.”

“We note with satisfaction the involvement of all components of Afghan society, in particular the political parties, traditional and religious authorities and civil society for their willingness to resolve the crisis by direct, inclusive dialogue, which is the sole guarantee for preserving peace in Afghanistan. We deplore the fact that the security and human rights situation deteriorated during and after the vote as a result of acts of violence and intimidation perpetrated by the Taliban in association with Al-Qaida and other armed groups against voters, including the cutting off of fingers of persons who had voted. Those cruel and criminal acts constitute serious violations of human rights; the perpetrators should be prosecuted and held to account.”

“We therefore commend the courage of the Afghan people and encourage it to continue to fight for change. We call on the candidates to show restraint, maintain the calm atmosphere that prevailed during the electoral campaign, apply the remedies provided for by the laws in force for those filing objections and complaints and accept the verdict of the polls following the proclamation of the results. Chad welcomes UNAMA's approach to resolving the post-election crisis by encouraging dialogue between candidate Abdullah Abdullah's camp, the members of the Independent Election Commission and the other candidates.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I would like to thank Mr. Jan Kubis, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA); Mr. Yury Fedotov, Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC); and the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan for their briefings. Chad welcomes the role played by UNAMA in supporting the transition process in Afghanistan, in accordance with its mandate. That has contributed to the preparation of free and fair presidential elections with broad voter participation. We also welcome the efforts of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. Despite threats by terrorists and other armed groups, the elections had a large number of female candidates.”

“We also commend the efforts made by the federal Government to continue to function regularly and to pursue its efforts in drafting and adopting new laws in an unstable and fragile institutional context. The inability of State institutions to function normally owing to infighting saps the willingness to address political, legal and economic issues. We encourage the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to undertake economic reforms likely to contribute effectively to addressing the social situation in the country and fomenting good governance. In conclusion, my delegation reiterates its support for the efforts of the Office of the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

“We believe that diversity is an a crucial aspect in building the nation State. Acts of exclusion and discrimination linked to the conflict in the Balkans are supposed to be resolved through the Dayton Agreement. We deplore the fact that the new situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is marked by major political differences. We also deplore the secessionist and pro-independence rhetoric, which poses a serious threat to the country's unity and stability. We condemn such acts and call on political actors to respect the territorial integrity of the country. Chad welcomes the planned holding of general elections in October, in connection with which the Parliament set up an inter-agency working group in November 2013 to develop a law and prepare for the elections in the country.”

“We nevertheless commend and welcome the protesters' initiative in setting up plenums as vehicles for dialogue in which to air complaints, thereby illustrating their capacity to organize and their desire to engage for the public good. Owing to the nature of their complaints - which called for reducing the salaries and privileges of elected officials and reviewing privatization and socio-economic reforms - the plenums have come to serve as genuine and responsible interlocutors when it comes to development, and that in a country in which the unemployment rate exceeds 40 per cent. That type of participation assures the basis for democracy in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The country's leaders should take advantage of those achievements and turn them into an element of national consensus.”

“Bosnia and Herzegovina finds itself in a situation in which the growing popular frustration and disatisfaction, the rise of nationalism, the legislative stalement at the federal and local levels, the challenges in holding of general elections in October and the delay in achieving objectives and conditions set by the the Office of the High Representative threaten the foundations of the nation State. First, with regard to the demonstrations that began in February in Tuzla, which then spread to Zenica, Mostar, Sarajevo and elsewhere, we deplore the violent turn of the protests and the resulting injuries and major damage to property.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for having organized this important follow-up meeting on Bosnia and Herzegovina. I also thank Mr. Valentin Inzko, High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, for his briefing and for his report (S/2014/3l4, annex). Bosnia and Herzegovina emerged as a result of one of the deadliest European crises since the fall of the Berlin Wall. In spite ofthe adoption, in December 1995, of the General Framework Agreement for Peace, whose overall goal was to consolidate peace and establish a tripartite governing system in order to preserve territorial integrity, challenges continue to persist all these years later.”

“As we know, however, the political and social situation in Libya remains precarious and quite volatile. The ICC and the Government of Libya must bear in mind the need for justice and security. The Council will have to provide the necessary assurances and support for the Libyan Government in resolving the issue surrounding Saif Al-Islam. His country's courts should provide a fair trial, if the conditions allow. Otherwise, the ICC should provide such a trial. The international community must help Libya to put in place the rule of law, which is a prerequisite for the return of peace and stability.”

“More than 7,000 individuals have been detained without due process, and the Tawergha community, which seems to have been forcibly displaced, has not yet been able to return home. In those circumstances, the involvement of international and domestic justice is an absolute necessity. We also encourage the ICC to continue its investigations within and outside Libya, both with regard to the Government and militias alike. With regard to current cases, we take note of the Abdullah Al-Senussi case and hope that the ICC will pursue its efforts in a fully transparent and objective manner. As in all wars, the conflict in Libya has caused thousands of deaths and entailed very serious violations of international humanitarian law and humans rights law. Those responsible for the crimes must answer for their actions.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I take this opportunity to warmly welcome Ms. Fatou Bensouda among us and to thank her for her briefing on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in Libya. I wish to encourage the member and non-member States of the ICC to cooperate with the Court in the cases involving crimes committed in Libya in 2011. We also thank and encourage the Libyan Government, and more specifically the Prosecutor General of Libya, for their cooperation with th ICC in the framework of the memorandum of understanding signed between the parties on the conduct of investigations and prosecutions. The report of the ICC Prosecutor notes the commission ofserious crimes that have gone unpunished and whose perpetrators have yet to be prosecuted.”

“Given the serious situation, Chad reiterates its appeal to those countries with influence over the parties to use every possible means at their disposal to give initiate dialogue between them. We are convinced that the solution to the problem in Ukraine can only be political. It should be sought with respect for the territorial integrity, sovereignty and unity of Ukraine, pursuant to the Charter of the United Nations. To that end, we urge the international community, and the Security Council in particular, to redouble their efforts to pursue mediation so as to bring the two sides closer together in seeking a peaceful solution in full respect for human rights and particularly for the rights minorities in Ukraine.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I would like to thank Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Mr. Feltman, for his briefing. Chad, like other Member States, is extremely concerned by the deterioration of the situation in eastern Ukraine. Following a period of relative calm following the Geneva declaration, we are today faced with new circumstances, marked by the kidnapping of members of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe mission, the attempted assassination of the mayor of Kharkiv, and the occupation of public buildings in Lugansk and elsewhere by pro-Russian elements. Chad condemns those violent acts, which undermine the negotiation and reconciliation efforts in Ukraine. Chad calls for the release of the hostages and for all parties to be calm and restrained.”

“Chad commends the progress made by the Haitian Government and MINUSTAH in terms of human rights. We note with satisfaction the efforts made by the Haitian justice system to bring to justice the perpetrators of abuses and violations committed under the previous regime, which has made it possible to reduce impunity considerably and to give more legitimacy and independence to the Haitian justice system. In conclusion, I would like to say that MINUSTAH has carried out its mission. However, the holding of elections continues to be an essential challenge on the path to the democratic stabilization of Haiti. We call on all parties to continue the dialogue and to work for the social and economic stabilization of Haiti.”

“The humanitarian situation continues to be of concern, with more than 600,000 people needing humanitarian and food assistance, as well as aid in the areas of housing and basic sanitation. We are pleased that MINUSTAH has chosen to pursue lasting solutions and the creation of income-generating opportunities so that those people can be reintegrated into social and economic life of Haiti. Immigration is another sensitive element in Haiti's development. Owing to the great number of immigrants in the region, promoting regional dialogue will be important for more humane and effective management of migration issues. We also encourage the Government of Haiti to invest in the diaspora, as it is a factor in encouraging and energizing the country's development.”

“Chad notes with satisfaction the progress made in the national dialogue that began in January under the auspices of the Episcopal Conference of Haiti. We are pleased at the consensus that all the parties reached in order to hold free, transparent senatorial and local elections. We thank the Mission for the technical support to strengthen the instruments needed for holding the upcoming elections. On the security front, the Mission has effectively completed its mandate to strengthen the capacity of the Haitian National Police. Chad actively contributes to the Mission with six trainers of trainers. We are pleased that there has been a greater inclusion and promotion of women in the police force with the objective of leading to a further decrease in the high crime rate, trafficking and the networks of organized crime in Haiti.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): Iwould like to thank Ms. Sandra Honore, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), for her briefing on MINUSTAH's work in Haiti. The context of the establishment of MINUSTAH is complex - from the very precarious sociopolitical situation to the 2010 earthquake and the ravages of hurricane Sandy, which left more than 500,000 dead and thousands of wounded, as well as 1.2 million internally displaced and major physical and psychological damage. Under those conditions, reconstruction and stabilization is slow and painful. Stabilization will only be possible with the will and efforts of the Haitians themselves. We commend the work of the United Nations team and their commitment to support Haitians.”

In conclusion, I note that, in the light of the launching of a Shahab-3 missile by Iran, in violation of paragraph 9 of resolution 1929 (2010), according to the Panel of Experts, and the interception of an arms shipment in Yemen, which the Committee characterized as a probable violation by Iran of paragraph 5 of resolution 1747 (2007), the Committee should continue to communicate with Iran seeking responses to its concerns. Likewise, the ongoing talks between the P5+l and Iran, following the Geneva joint plan of action of 24 November 2013, must continue and produce positive results.”

I welcome his emphasis on strengthening communications between the Committee and Member States and international organizations with regard to the implementation of the provisions of resolutions and the importance he attaches to contacts with Member States. Indeed, it was such communication that allowed Member States to receive reports on the measures taken by national structures or thanks to assistance from the Panel of Experts of the Committee, as contained in the Committee's annual report.”

“Medical, anti-retroviral, obstetric and surgical care are given cost-free, and a mother's and children's hospital was built. As for development, the structures for distributing aid were implemented to help women to develop income-generating revenues.

“What makes peacebuilding difficult in the aftermath of conflict is not only the absence of will on the part of the parties in conflict to stop the violence, but also the refusal ofparties involved in the settlement of conflicts to address the underlying causes of conflicts. My country, Chad, experienced several decades of civil war from which it was able to escape thanks to mediation and dialogue among the different components of its society, where women are in the majority. Peacebuilding became a reality thanks to the mobilization of all parts of the nation. Today, the results achieved are appreciated by the entire international community, even if progress is still needed in some areas. Women are significantly represented in State institutions.”

“They must define intervention strategies for peacebuilding in those countries when the need is felt and support national dialogue and provide development assistance, inter alia. Peacebuilding requires the mobilization of various actors on the ground. In Africa, women are peacebuilding actors. As women and children are the primary victims of conflict, they need to be involved in the search for peace, peacebuilding and peace negotiations. Women are a positive force that is often overlooked. Women of the African diaspora can play a significant role in reconstruction and peacebuilding. Examples throughout the world show that women generally participate actively in seeking peace.”

“Peacebuilding through dialogue is the way to maintain lasting and viable peace, while development assistance provides the tools for strengthening it. Africa experiences many problems that dangerously undermine its socioeconomic development. The extreme poverty of its populations is a major source of conflict. Countries such as the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, South Sudan will not experience lasting peace in the short term after an agreement is reached following national dialogue if peacebuilding is not folled up with massive amounts of development aid. To achieve that end, donor countries must work out comprehensive national strategies for better peacebuilding.”

“To put an end to the spiral of violence, the United Nations, in its role as guarantor of world peace, mobilizes massive human, material and financial resources. Conflict is a moment of tension with multiple potential causes - the clash of opposing political, economic and cultural interests or due to expansionary ambitions. A conflict can be long-lasting and engulf human lives and bring about human rights violations, such as rape, the enlistment of children in the army, population transfers and modifications of borders. War is a source of underdevelopment because it generates ignorance, hate and lack of trust, and is therefore a useless waste of time and energy. It is clear that military intervention can contribute to the settlement of certain conflicts, but dialogue remains the simplest and least costly of all methods.”

“Mr. Cherif (Chad) (spoke in French): I thank the President for having organizing this morning's meeting on the peacebuilding in the aftermath of conflict. I also thank the speakers for their detailed briefings on the topic. Today, the world is ravaged by a multitude of conflicts. Darfur, the Sudan, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Syrian crisis, to mention but a few, are the best examples. Those conflicts have completely undone social fabrics, which have become difficult to reconstruct. Populations are traumatized and divided by deep hatred that gives rise to war, which turns sometimes into genocide. That is the case with Syria and the Central African Republic, where large-scale destruction have forced distraught populations to leave to seek refuge in neighbouring countries.”

“Finally, we condemn armed groups that recruit child soldiers and commit violence against women. The perpetrators of such crimes should be prosecuted and brought to justice.

“Particular attention should be paid to the situation of children and women and other vulnerable people, who often find themselves victims of incidents involving anti-personnel mines. We are very concerned about the increase in the trafficking in drugs and other narcotics, which has a negative impact on the international security situation, as was the case in Mali, where the situation deteriorated with the rise in criminal networks and funding for international terrorism. Chad encourages Afghanistan's neighbouring States to continue to cooperate in the transnational fight against drug and arms trafficking. Chad support UNAMA and the work of the international community aimed at finding a political solution to the crisis and joins the Secretary-General's call for increased humanitarian assistance to vulnerable populations.”

“We call on all the parties concerned to commit themselves, in a spirit of conciliation and reconciliation, to restoring and strengthening peace in Afghanistan. We also welcome the inclusive direct talks involving all stakeholders, namely, politicians, traditional community leaders, religious scholars and civil society, towards the restoration of peace in Afghanistan. We think that the elections due to be held in April will help to further stabilize the country. However, we are very concerned about the recent security situation in Afghanistan, given the significantly increased number of incidents in 2013, including the killing of four UNAMA staff members in January. In that regard, Chad calls for respect of human rights, in particular international humanitarian law, which protects civilian populations in armed conflicts.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I thank the Secretary-General and Special Representative Mr. Jan Kubis for the detailed report (S/2014/163) on developments in the situation in Afghanistan since the end of 2013. I also thank the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan to the United Nations for his statement. Chad's vote in favour of resolution 2145 (2014) to renew the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) is a vote of encouragement, as we note with satisfaction the political, economic and human rights developments with the establishment of the Kabul process. We are also encouraged by progress on integration, regional cooperation and human rights, as well as the improved coordination and conditions for humanitarian assistance thanks to the Mission's support.”

“Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I thank Mr. Feltman for his briefing. I welcome the transition Prime Minister of Ukraine, Mr. Yatsenyuk, and thank him for the information he has provided. Chad notes with great concern the continuing escalation of the crisis in Ukraine, despite the repeated calls of the international community, in particular the Security Council, for calm and restraint. We think that it is still possible to take the path of national reconciliation and preservation of the unity of Ukraine through an inclusive process of dialogue between the different components and respecting diversity. Chad also calls for the respect for territorial integrity, the non-use of force and the peaceful settlement of disputes in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations.”
