1. “As President Buyoya of Rwanda stated, Mali's priorities - to develop a security strategy and the capacity to fight against transnational terrorism - will progressively become those of the countries of the Sahel. The road map that the Malian Government has settled on is a hopeful one and a good opportunity for the relaunching of the peace talks. Finally, all of the international community represented in Mali expressed their willingness to support Mali in the dialogue aimed at laying the foundations for lasting peace.”

2. “The Government is also accused of giving preference to armed groups instead of to the victims of those same armed groups. Women, although they are in the majority and very involved in civil society organizations, are feeling the weight of sociocultural and religious pressures that make certain subjects taboo, such as sexual violence, physical abuse, forced marriage and divorce, as the perpetrators of such acts often cannot be held liable under the law. Despite the prominent role that the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali plays alongside Malians in their search for peace and stability, it is seen as a kind of second Government. The reconstitution of the jihadist groups in Mali's interior and along its borders is a cause for concern not just for Mali but for the entire Sahel region.”

3. “Crime persists, due to the lack of legal authority, in particular in the north of the country, despite a limited return of administrative rule in some parts of the country. The Ouagadougou Preliminary Agreement is a bone of contention between the signatories and certain armed groups who joined the Agreement. The signatories complained that they were ignored or excluded from the process leading to the resumption of negotiations. We also see divisions within the armed groups, for example in the Arab Azawad movement, which has two different factions, each claiming legitimacy. That could complicate things when the negotiations are relaunched. The Government has been accused of coopting parties or candidates, whose representative nature is often contested by their base.”

4. “All parts of Malian society are unanimous on the fact that the roots of the crisis affecting their country are neither religious nor tribal, as the population is mostly Muslim and the fact that several ethnic groups live side by side in almost every part of the country has led to a number of mixed marriages and has woven solidarity and tolerance into the country's social fabric. While the Malian authorities recognize the merits of the Ouagadougou Preliminary Agreement, they believe that it is time for Mali to take ownership of the Agreement. At the same time, they are exploring new initiatives, such as the Algerian process that is currently under way. Despite the significant progress made on normalizing situation, real challenges persist in the areas of security, politics, food, health, and the legal and educational systems.”

5. “Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I fully align myself with the briefing by Ambassador Gerard Araud on the Security Council mission to Mali. I would just like to add a few comments. The arrival of the Security Council mission in Mali gave rise to much hope among Malians, who are weary of the stalemate in the negotiations that are the only way to return to lasting peace and a normalization of the situation. We note their enthusiasm and genuine willingness to proceed to inclusive negotiations.”

6. “Chad supports the efforts of the international community in seeking a lasting solution in Syria, and resolution 2139 (2014) is a very important step in that direction.”

7. “The Syrian authorities are called upon to put an end to violence against the civilian population and violations of international humanitarian law and pave the way for true negotiations in order to reach acceptable solutions to the Syrian crisis. We welcome the firmness shown by Council members and their commitment to the Syrian people, and we encourage the Council to continue efforts in that direction. The resolution is a call on the Syrian parties to shoulder their responsibilities and prioritize dialogue in order to bring an end to the abuses that innocent civilians have fallen victim to. We believe that speeding up the destruction of chemical weapons and ending the use of barrel bombs would help create conditions conducive to a return to stability in Syria.”

8. “Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): Chad welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 2139 (2014), on the humanitarian situation in Syria, following lengthy negotiations in which everyone made commendable efforts to reach a compromise. We thank the Security Council members who took the initiative to promote this resolution, which will certainly contribute to relieving the suffering of the civilian population of Syria, who have been attacked with barrel bombs, besieged, displaced and become refugees. Chad is very aware of the humanitarian issues in Syria, and we hope that the implementation of the provisions of the resolution will enable the population to have access to the humanitarian assistance that they are unjustly deprived of.”

9. “We encourage Kosovar leaders to create conditions conducive to the return of those people to their places of origin, as well as to organize their social reintegration and the recovery of goods to the original owners, which will make it possible to build confidence among the various communities. In conclusion, Chad would like to commend the important continuing role played by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo and the other actors in the Kosovo crisis. In that regard, Chad urges the international community, in particular the Security Council, to support the Mission until the conclusion of its stabilization mandate in Kosovo.”

10. “With regard to security, the report refers to a net decrease in the rate of intercommunity crime and violence. We encourage the authorities to continue in their role in maintaining public order. My delegation congratulates the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo for the activities it carries out to strengthen the capacity of the ministries involved in the maintenance and promotion of internal peace and security. With regard to human rights, the report also underscores the difficulties in implementing the recommendations on the return of internally displaced persons and refugees.”

11. “The report of the Secretary-General shows that substantial progress has been made at the political level, thanks to the political will of Pristina and Belgrade to implement the First Agreement of Principles Governing the Normalization of Relations between the two parties. Municipal elections have now been held in the various towns. We welcome that political progress, which the international community should encourage. However, the report mentions political conflicts in northern Kosovo, where opponents of the Brussels Agreement between Pristina and Belgrade conducted a protest march against the election campaign. We urgently call on all the parties involved to engage in an open dialogue to find a lasting and acceptable political solution.”

12. “Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): I would like to thank Mr. Farid Zarif, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo, for his introduction of the report on the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (S/2014/68). I also thank Prime Minister Thaci and Mr. Daeie on their presentations. My delegation commends the various actors involved in the promotion of peace, stability and respect for the rule of law in Kosovo and the entire region, namely, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the European Union, which are working in close cooperation with the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo on the ground.”

13. “Reconciliation, which has been held up as an example for all in South Africa, shows that a country can play the role of a peacemaker. The international community must make greater efforts to propagate a culture of peace in the countries of the South by raising the awareness of the people regarding the problems of war and their collective and individual responsibility for grave violations of human rights under international humanitarian law, as well as for war crimes.”

14. “A great many countries of the South have not been spared by war because the conditions for lasting peace are not there. Poverty, unemployment, underdevelopment, socioeconomic fragility, injustice and marginalization are factors that lead to conflict. Wars in today's world do not produce winners and losers. All those who fight are losers, because war causes devastation and leaves a great many serious problems, in particular material as well as psychological problems. Preventive diplomacy is very promising insofar as it is a cost- effective way to avoid conflict. To restore peace, some demand justice - in other words, a peace based on who is right - whereas others give pride of place to reconciliation. There is a need to merge both of those approaches, that is, justice for serious violations and reconciliation for all others.”

15. “In regions where States are weak, racked by various ethnic quarrels and lacking the necessary resources to meet the basic needs of their people, there is, of course, a risk of conflict, especially when not all the various elements of the population are associated with or involved in managing the affairs of State. A few years ago, Cote d'Ivoire was considered to be among the most stable of countries, yet war prevailed. In the Central African Republic all the communities were reportedly living happily side by side, but religious differences emerged and surprised everybody. Mali, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan are further examples, of which there are many throughout the continent. What is taking place in Syria and other States in the Middle East is also not grounds for optimism.”

16. “The conflicts of today have devastating effects on women and children in the form of killings, injuries, imprisonment, detainment against their will by armed groups and their exploitation for various purposes, including as victims of sexual violence and human trafficking. Conflicts tear families apart, destroy social fabrics and deprive States of their resources for a very long time. What can the United Nations do in terms of the prevention of conflicts, faced with their widespread occurrence throughout the planet? What can rich countries do to assist poor countries, which often serve as the theatres for all types ofconflicts, to better manage conflicts and restore lasting peace, so beneficial for all? Some conflicts can be predicted, others cannot. The international community will have to devote itself to preventive diplomacy.”

17. “Mr. Mangaral (Chad) (spoke in French): At the outset, I would like to convey my gratitude to you, Mr. President, for convening today's debate on such an important topic of concern to the entire international community. I would also like to express my appreciation to Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman for his briefing. Every day, when we turn on our televisions or radios, we see or hear how conflicts ravage a great many countries, many of them to be found in Africa or in the Middle East. The consequences ofthose wars and conflicts are felt at many levels. In addition to the loss of human life and the destruction of institutions and economic and social infrastructure, we also have seen the impact on the cohesion of societies in conflict and the repercussions on the existence of States affected by those crises.”
