  1. “On a positive note, the good cooperation between the Governments of Cote d'Ivoire and Liberia, as well as between UNOCI and the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), continues to yield good results and we have not witnessed a major cross-border attack in nearly a year. Earlier this month, I visited several localities in the west of Cote d'Ivoire, where I met community and religious leaders and local authority representatives. There, I again witnessed the fragility of the situation on the ground and the need for the international community to remain alert and fully engaged in order to ensure that the times of chaos, violence and insecurity are buried deeply in the past. My interlocutors stressed the importance of promptly addressing the root causes of the conflict and of ensuring thatjustice is served.”

  2. “The lack of clarity with regard to the status of dozos, or traditional hunters, further contributes to the insecurity and poses a threat to the human rights of citizens in many areas of the country. The Government has responded proactively to addressing the violence by launching in November, with the support of the United Nations Operation in C6te d'Ivoire (UNOCI), an operation aimed at disbanding armed groups and removing illegal checkpoints. In the west of the country, serious threats to peace and security persist due to the illegal circulation of weapons, coupled with networks affiliated with the former regime, former combatants and other criminal elements on the border with Liberia. In addition, most of the root causes to the conflict are still to be fully addressed in that region.”

  3. “They are also closely engaged in addressing intercommunity tensions and the challenges with regard to the evacuation of protected forests, particularly in the west. Notwithstanding the good progress that is being made and the Government's genuine resolve, Cote d'Ivoire has continued to grapple with security-related challenges and the situation remains fragile. Recurrent incidents of intercommunity and ethnic violence, as well as armed robbery and organized crime, continue to pose a major challenge to stability and security. The national security apparatus still requires considerable reform, including in order to rid it of those elements that are involved in incidents of violence and abuse.”

  4. “We have already witnessed the return of several senior officials and military personnel affiliated with former President Gbagbo and the FPI, and refugees across the borders with Liberia, Ghana and Guinea. Those actions have contributed to enhancing the political climate in C6te d'Ivoire. cote d'Ivoire's economy is on a fast track to recovery and growth rates are impressive. That is due in part to enhanced political stability and the financial support of its international partners. It is also worth noting that the Government has continued to strengthen its presence at the local level, including through the recent nomination of members of the corps prefectoral. At the same time, local and traditional leaders are increasingly engaged in supporting social cohesion.”

  5. “In the area of human rights, the Government has extended the mandate of the special investigation and examination cell, which is tasked with investigating crimes committed during the post-electoral crisis. Meanwhile, during his New Year address to the nation, President Ouattara announced that he had requested the Minister of Justice to review the possibility of releasing additional prisoners detained during the post-electoral crisis. He also reiterated the Government's commitment to intensifying efforts to ensure the voluntary and safe return of political refugees, with the support of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the respective countries where the political refugees reside.”

  6. “Although there was no concrete breakthrough on outstanding issues, those meetings are an important demonstration of the will of political stakeholders in Cote d'Ivoire to address their differences through constructive dialogue. As the report before the Council indicates, the FPI has proposed the establishment of a new dialogue forum - the etats generaux de la Republique, which would include a wider spectrum of civil society - that the President has agreed to review closely. The Government has made efforts to advance security sector reform. It has also set an ambitious target of disarming the full caseload of former combatants by June 2015.”

  7. “While the former ruling party, the Front populaire ivoirien (FPI), still refuses to participate in the permanent framework of dialogue, important advances were made with respect to direct dialogue between the FPI and the Government as well as with the ruling party. In early December, the FPI and the Rassemblement des republicains (RDR) met for the first time in a decade. The holding of that meeting in a cordial atmosphere generated important momentum, and I welcome the shared commitment expressed by both parties to continuing further dialogue in a reconciliatory manner. The FPI also resumed direct dialogue with the Government in September and held meetings, most recently on 15 January.”

  8. “As the report before the Council (S/2013/76l) underscores, the Government, under President Ouattara's leadership, has made significant conciliatory gestures towards the political opposition, notably by provisionally releasing from prison several high- ranking individuals associated with former President Laurent Gbagbo. The Government has also taken steps towards addressing the root causes of the Ivorian crisis, including by enacting legislation on land tenure issues and nationality, which are critical for the national reconciliation process. Dialogue between the Government and ll opposition parties in the context of the permanent framework of dialogue continues, and has resulted in important progress in the political reconciliation process.”

  9. “Ms. Mindaoudou: It is a great honour for me to address the Security Council for the first time since I assumed my responsibilities as Special Representative of the Secretary-General for C6te d'Ivoire, in July 2013. Cote d'Ivoire continues to make good progress, and the country is firmly on the path to lasting peace and stability. Socioeconomic reforms implemented by the Government are beginning to have tangible results, with good economic growth, an influx of foreign investment and a renewed private sector. The Government has initiated a series of institutional reforms aimed at enhancing political inclusiveness, including putting in place legislation requested by the political opposition on the financing of political parties.”
