  1. “Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the AU Commission, in order to improve the synergy between the Secretariat and the AU Commission, and to encourage continued consultative meetings between the Councils. As we have heard from the briefers, both secretariats have executed their tasks diligently. We urge all parties concerned to work towards the effective strengthening of the partnership so that it contributes to real peace and security in Africa. The meeting rose at 11.50 am.”

  2. “The three African members of the Security Council welcome the Secretary- General's undertaking to conduct an assessment of the United Nations-AU cooperation, including the structure and capacity of the United Nations Office at the AU, as requested by the Council in resolution 2320 (2016). It is also imperative that the Security Council outline its own perspectives regarding the efficacy of the partnership between the two Councils, based on the experiences and outcome of the recently held thirteenth joint consultative meeting, among other things. In conclusion, the three African members of the Security Council commend the continued engagement between the Secretary-General and Mr.”

  3. “To do that, we have to evaluate the extent to which the principles of cooperation and commitment to the partnership between the United Nations and the AU have translated into the development of practical and shared purposes within both Councils. In that regard, the Security Council should endeavour to give effect to the commitments it has already made in previous resolutions, especially resolution 2033 (2012). Secondly, the focus of the debate on strengthening the United Nations-AU partnership must move away from generalities about partnership and cooperation and towards decisive and practical steps that the Security Council, in particular, and the United Nations and AU, in general, can take to realize the full implementation of this strategic partnership.”

  4. “In the efforts to resolve the issue in Libya, it is imperative that the Security Council take into account the roles and contributions of the AU Commission and the AU Peace and Security Council, including by considering the request to appoint a joint special envoy. The two Councils also exchanged views on thematic issues, including the African Union's flagship initiative to silence the guns by 2020 and the modalities for joint field Visits by both Councils. As a follow-up to those consultations, the three African members of the Security Council would like to emphasize the following points. First, we need to translate and elevate some of the commitments made by both Councils into tangible outcomes.”

  5. “With regard to the issue of South Sudan, there was convergence between the Security Council and the AU Peace and Security Council on what ought to happen in the lead-up to the 12 November deadline for the formation of a revitalized Government of National Unity, demonstrating that both Councils can have a shared understanding and common positions on peace and security matters in Africa. However, there are areas where the two Councils are at opposite ends. The issue of Libya is an illustration of a situation where interests other than the advancement of the peace process have the potential to undermine the strategic partnership between the Councils.”

  6. “One of the most critical areas where the strategic partnership between the United Nations and the AU on peace and security in Africa continues to grow and must be enhanced is that between the Security Council and the AU Peace and Security Council. On 21 and 22 October, members of both Councils met within the framework of the thirteenth annual joint consultative meeting in Addis Ababa. During that meeting, members of the Security Council and the AU Peace and Security Council discussed various situations of conflict in Africa, specifically those in the Central African Republic, Libya, South Sudan and the Sahel region.”

  7. “The three African members of the Security Council therefore welcome efforts that seek to strengthen the strategic partnership and ensure that all concerned genuinely accept the leveraging of the complementary roles and comparative advantages of both the United Nations and the AU, including in areas such as mediation, preventive diplomacy, peacekeeping, peace enforcement and peacebuilding. The key principles that should direct and shape the partnership and cooperation between the two organizations going forward are meaningful and inclusive collaboration, shared and common approaches, and effective consultative mechanisms.”

  8. “The increased collaboration and strategic partnership have contributed positively to both the United Nations and the AU in terms of developing common objectives and seeking sustainable solutions to the complex conflicts on the African continent. It is clear that the complex peace and security issues facing the continent, including the necessity for the prevention, resolution and management of conflicts, require effective and meaningful partnership and collaboration among the United Nations, the AU, regional economic communities and regional mechanisms.”

  9. “What is also clear, however, is that this collaboration should be formalized and structured if it is to be efficient. Over the past 12 years, much has been done to improve that collaboration. The adoption of resolutions 1809 (2007) and 2033 (2012) has given impetus to the implementation of Chapter VIII of the Charter with regard to the partnership between the United Nations and regional organizations, particularly the African Union. We recognize the positive impact that the Joint AU- United Nations Framework for Enhanced Partnership in Peace and Security has had in elevating the cooperation, coordination and collaboration between the two organizations into a strategic partnership, particularly at the level of the United Nations and AU Secretariats.”

  10. “Its mechanisms form part of the concerted efforts of the African Union to achieve peace and realize its aspirations to silence the guns by 2020. It is in pursuit of that aspiration that in Malabo on 2 and 3 December the Government of Equatorial Guinea will host a ministerial-level conference on the topic of silencing the guns by 2020, the same theme that the African Union Summit will adopt for 2020. There can be no question that the active engagement of the continent together with its external partners, including the United Nations, has led to the resolution of long-standing conflicts. The political and strategic alignment between the Security Council and regional organizations has been effective, as we have seen in Somalia, the Central African Republic and the Sudan.”

  11. “While the Charter of the United Nations gives the Security Council the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, Chapter VIII of the Charter also recognizes the complementarity between the roles of the United Nations and regional organizations. In that regard, the African Union and regional economic communities throughout the continent are engaged in the resolution of conflicts in their respective regions. Regional organizations are often those most affected by the conflicts in their respective regions. In most circumstances they are also best placed to address those conflicts, because that action is linked to their own stability, development and prosperity. The African Union has developed an expansive Peace and Security Architecture for ensuring sustainable peace on the continent.”
