1. “As we can see with the several initiatives under way, the African States concerned have, fortunately, strengthened their mobilization and their cooperation to tackle these threats to peace and security despite their very limited capabilities. I would also like to welcome, by way of example, the efforts of the countries that participated in the Joint Multinational Force, which made it possible to reduce the operational means and the advance of Boko Haram.”

2. “Mindful of the seriousness of the problem, Senegal and Spain co-organized in December 2016 an Arria Formula meeting on the subject with the participation of the business community, legal experts and national and international security agencies. Maritime security is another major challenge that must command the Council's attention - an issue that was in fact widely discussed in October 2016 in Lome' at the first African Union Summit devoted to the topic, after which the Charter on Maritime Security and Safety and Development in Africa was adopted. It will be included in the African Union's 2050 Integrated Maritime Strategy.”

3. “To that we must add the complexity of the new challenges within the area of peace and security, in particular in Africa, with the increase in violent extremism, the proliferation of terrorist groups, which feed on all kinds of criminal activities, while using sophisticated tools and techniques, not to mention cybercrime, which threatens both the sovereignty of States and the safety of its populations. With more than 20,000 registered attacks a year in Africa, cybersecurity is one of the major challenges that has sorely tested our capabilities to tackle the artful and sophisticated tactics of its perpetrators.”

4. “At the subregional level, the tangible results of operations carried out by ECOWAS in resolving several crisis, namely, with the deployment of its Ceasefire Monitoring Group, in numerous theatres of operations, including in Liberia at the time, as well as its missions in Guinea-Bissau and recently its mission in The Gambia, reflect the crucial role that African subregional organizations can play in promoting peace on the continent. However, the lessons learned, specifically in the transition from African Union peace operations towards United Nations peacekeeping operations, shows the limits that African organizations have from the point of view oflogistics, operations and capabilities.”

5. “With the experience of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali, under African leadership, deployed by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic, or of the African Union Mission in Somalia, to just mention a few, the African Union and its regional organizations were able to show their ability to provide front-line responses to the conflicts erupting on the continent.”

6. “From that point of view, my delegation welcomes the positive trend to strengthen partnerships in the area of peace and security between the two organizations. In that regard, the visit of Secretary-General Guterres to African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa this past January and the visit made by the Chair of the African Union Commission, Mr. Moussa Faki Mahamat, to United Nations Headquarters in New York in April 2017, in the framework of the first United Nations-African Union annual conference, reflects a renewed dynamic that must be welcomed. It was during that periodic meeting that the joint Framework for a Strengthened Partnership in the Peace and Security was signed.”

7. “Today's debate is certainly part of a move to maximize the enormous potential of the African Union and the African regional economic communities in the area of peace and security, a potential that, if used wisely, could make it possible to effectively tackle the immense challenges that the continent faces in this sphere. Senegal is convinced of the importance of a strategic partnership in the efforts aimed at maintaining peace and security in Africa. We therefore believe that strengthening African capabilities in this area must be approached as part of the current discussions on how to intensify the cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union and the continent's regional economic communities.”

We also thank the Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union, His Excellency Mr. Ismail Chergui, for his important briefing, which has also shed light on our debate.”

9. “Mr. Ndiaye (Senegal) (spoke in French): First of all, I would like to congratulate you personally, Mr. President, as well as the Chinese Government, on your accession ofthe presidency ofthe Security Council for the month of July. I also welcome the organization of this debate, which your country, the People's Republic of China, has decided to devote to the theme "Enhancing African capacities in the areas ofpeace and security". Senegal welcomes the prominent role played by China and its contribution to building peace and security in the world, especially in Africa. This is an issue to which Senegal attaches great importance, and it was highlighted in the discussions during the debate (see S/PV.7816) that Senegal organized last November on the partnership between the United Nations and the African Union.”

10. “Once again, before concluding, I would like to sincerely thank you, Sir, for your commitment and that of your country, through dialogue and diplomacy, to seek political negotiated solutions to the crises that disrupt the world's operations. My country's President lauds your efforts and commitment to find an unprecedented consensus required to put an end to the serious threats posed by the actions of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.”

11. “Senegal has ratified the main instruments underpinning international non-proliferation and nuclear security regime. It also respects States' obligations under resolution 1540 (2004), whose thirteenth anniversary is being celebrated today. Similarly, Senegal has submitted its report on the implementation of the provisions of resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2094 (2013) and 2270 (2016). My county is in the process of finalizing its report on resolution 2321 (2016), with a view to submitting it to the Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006). It is important that we urge the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to honour its obligations.”

12. “Senegal therefore calls on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to respect its international commitments and obligations. In 2016, the Security Council unanimously adopted two resolutions - resolution 2270 (2016), on 2 March 2016, and 2321 (2016), on 30 November 2016 - which considerably strengthened previous sanctions against Pyongyang. Nonetheless, it must be pointed out that such measures, in addition to the unilateral sanctions imposed by some countries, have been unsuccessful in encouraging the country to abandon its military nuclear ambitions. In truth, none of those sanctions have prevented the Democratic People's Republic of Korea from continuing to gradually expand its nuclear capacity and increase its ballistic missiles arsenal, which is a flagrant violation of the Security Council's resolutions and its repeated requests.”

13. “In the light of such challenges, my country has firmly denounced the nuclear test carried out by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on 6 January 2016 and several ballistic missile launches, which are all serious violations of the country's international obligations, pursuant to resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013), 2270 (2016), 2321 (2016). Such actions are a clear illustration that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is moving ahead with its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programme and is determined to increase its nuclear power. This not only poses a threat to the people living on the Korean peninsula and the region; it is also a serious breach of the non-proliferation regime.”

14. “Complete elimination is the only way to save the world from the devastation that would ensue from the use of nuclear weapons. That alone can ensure the survival of our world and the future of present and future generations, by allowing them to live without the fear of atomic bombs being detonated and in a world freed from the terror of nuclear disaster. In addition to such clearly identified threats, there is also the increased risk of proliferation by non-State actors, because of the rising incidence of terrorism and new risks emerging from the ill-advised use of rapid advances in science, technology and international trade.”

15. “Mr. Ndiaye (Senegal) (spoke in French): I would like to thank you, Sir, for taking the initiative to convene today's debate on the important issue of nuclear non-proliferation. I also thank Secretary- General Antonio Guterres, whose briefing enriches our discussion and allows us to make our efforts clear. The issue of nuclear non-proliferation is one of the world's priorities, as illustrated by resolution 1(1), the first resolution adopted by the General Assembly, in January 1946. The goal of that resolution was to eliminate all atomic weapons. Because it is convinced about the risk that such weapons pose to the survival of humankind, my country is in favour of the complete elimination of military nuclear activities, and not their mere reduction.”

16. “The national commission brings together all ministerial departments concerned with these activities and assists the competent authorities in formulating, monitoring and implementing national policy on nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. In conclusion, Senegal will continue to fulfil its obligations and observe its commitments on this matter. We are convinced that through cooperation and mutual efforts, shared experiences and expertise, we will be able to better understand these threats and thereby develop coherent, holistic and global strategies to address them effectively.”

17. “Senegal, having signed and ratified nine conventions on nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, has deemed it necessary to set up a national commission in charge of monitoring these agreements and all issues related to them. The national commission allows us to stop treating these issues in a fragmented way and to manage them in accordance with our international commitments. It also authorizes the regular monitoring of these agreements and relations with international organizations, such as the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization.”

18. “My country has taken measures to meet its obligations under resolution 1540 (2004), including the establishment of a national coordination mechanism to detect the activities of non-State actors in order to promote cooperation among relevant national actors and human and technical capacity-building programmes of the national commission for nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and the authority entrusted with radiological protection and nuclear safety, which are tasked with ensuring the implementation of national policy in those fields and whose missions revolve around the three essential axes of regulation, monitoring and public information.”

19. “We also reaffirm the need to create a sustainable mechanism to improve interaction and coordation among those who request and those who provide assistance, as noted previously, in order to avoid duplication and identify best practices in assistance in order to maximize their benefits. The immediate challenge therefore consists of better coordinating existing tools in order to limit the possibility of non-State actors engaging in proliferation activities. I reiterate Senegal's willingness and commitment to spare no effort in the fight against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.”

    2016-12-15 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7837 (2016) · source

20. “We must also pursue efforts in areas such as the improvement of assistance procedures; an inventory and analysis of assistance requirements; and dialogue on assistance with interested international, regional and subregional organizations and even non-governmental organizations and civil society. This requires the strengthening of the capacities of the Committee and its experts in order to allow them to adequately carry out assistance activities in countries who have expressed need. Similarly, the Security Council should consider ways to strengthen the systems for early warning and prevention of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction by non-State actors, including by strengthening coordination between members, monitoring the implentation of the provisions of resolution 1540 (2004) and analysing proliferation risks.”

21. “The meeting provided an opportunity to consider the main aspects related to the prevention of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in Africa and to reflect on ways to strengthen national legal frameworks established to implement the resolution. This type of initiative should be replicated throughout all regions of the world, given the vital role that parliamentarians play in developing and adopting relevant legal frameworks to prevent nuclear, chemical or biological weapons from falling into the hands of non-State actors, especially terrorists.”

22. “Furthermore, with regard to this aspect of international cooperation and assistance, we encourage Member States with the ability to do so to help train national focal points, and we take this opportunity to thank Morocco for its willingness to organize training for African national contact points. In this vein, my delegation is pleased to highlight the regional approach adopted by the Committee in its programme of work. This was evident at the first interparliamentary meeting held in Abidjan in February on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004), which was attended by more than 70 African legislators from 18 States and where Senegal had the honour of representing the 1540 Committee.”

23. “Analysis of data concerning the African continent shows continued progress in the implementation of measures established in resolution 1540 (2004), particularly in relation to developing appropriation legislation and the presentation of implementation reports. In this context, it is important to recall the political commitment of the African Union in support of the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) by African States. This commitment has led notably to the organization of a review and assistance conference on the resolution's implementation, in partnership with the 1540 Committee, held in Addis Ababa in April. It is important to continue such cooperation initiatives between the Committee and African countries, most of whom having benefitted from its support in implementing resolution 1540 (2004).”

24. “Recommendations contained in the report of the review have led to the proposal by Member States of concrete, practical and appropriate measures that, if properly applied, could greatly contribute to the resolution's implementation. Senegal believes that, in an interdependent world where our interests are closely linked, strengthening cooperation in areas such as border control, monitoring financial flows and online networks, and legal assistance are more crucial than ever to the development of an appropriate strategy to prevent and combat proliferation if we wish to avoid weapons of mass destruction falling into the wrong hands, as noted earlier. This requires a synergy of efforts of all actors involved and the sharing of experiences.”

25. “In any case, it remains more crucial today than ever to make a comprehensive inventory of all sources of weapons of mass destruction throughout the world in order to systematically secure or destroy them. Important measures have certainly already been taken, but we must recognize that there remains much to be done in this domain. The comprehensive review of the status of implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) undertaken this year was therefore particularly timely in that it allowed Member States, relevant international and regional organizations, and also civil society to refocus their actions and strategies on a more global, coordinated and coherent approach so as to sustainably address the various challenges faced by international peace and security.”

26. “Resolution 2325 (2016), just adopted unanimously, provides an ideal framework - if it is fully implemented - to effectively combat the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and, above all, access by non-State actors to those weapons. Paragraph 27 of resolution 2325 (2016) seems particularly relevant in that regard, in that it requests the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) and the various sanctions and counter-terrorism committees to reinforce their cooperation. This can be done through information-sharing, coordinating State visits pursuant to their specific mandates, technical assistance activities and in all other cases with scope for cooperation.”

The meeting allows us to consider together the actions aimed at preventing non-State actors from accessing weapons of mass destruction. We also thank Mr. Jan Eliasson, Deputy Secretary-General; Mr. Kim Won-soo, High Representative for Disarmament Affairs; and Mr. James Min, Vice-President of DHL, whose excellent briefings have enabled us to clarify our work and enrich our discussions.”

31. “It offers genuine prospects to better reflect on the best way to ensure lasting and predictable financing for peacekeeping operations in African Union countries. To conclude, my delegation would like to welcome the issuance of the Secretary-General's report in document S/2016/809, on the United Nations-African Union joint review of existing financing and support mechanisms for African Union peacekeeping operations authorized by the Security Council. The conclusions of the report stress the importance of access to assessed contributions as a way ofproviding reliable, predictable and sustainable financing to cover the support costs of African Union peacekeeping operations. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

32. “The African Union High Representative for the Peace Fund has just recalled that those recommendations were adopted during the twenty-seventh Assembly ofHeads of State and Government of the African Union, held in Kigali in July. Such laudable efforts must not be in vain. I would like to hope that draft resolution S/2016/977, which we are to adopt following this debate, will provide a solid foundation for definitively settling the crucial issue of financing for peacekeeping operations in African Union countries. We are further encouraged by the fact that the draft resolution rightly welcomes the efforts of the African Union to bring its contribution to 25 per cent for peacekeeping operations. That is a strong political message from the Security Council to the African Union, expressing the Council's readiness as it moves in that direction.”

33. “With that in mind, Senegal believes that the United Nations should invest and play a more active role in ensuring the success of African Union activities, as a strategic partner to assist in finding often urgent solutions to shared concerns. That requires, among other things, greater support to the peacekeeping operations of the African Union that are endorsed by the Security Council, as well as through more predictable financing. That type of approach is particularly appropriate, as the African Union has resolutely committed to making significant headway in resolving the issue of predictable financing by committing to providing 25 per cent of peacekeeping operation costs.”

34. “The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Mission in Guinea-Bissau is relatively symptomatic of the type of difficulties that regional and subregional organizations face in securing predictable and sustainable financing. I thank the European Union for its invaluable contribution to the activities of that ECOWAS Mission. The constraints Ijust mentioned point to the need to define the channels and ways to share the burden. In other words, the United Nations should better support the laudable efforts of the African Union in handling the crucial issue of the financing of peacekeeping operations, as well as in ensuring the operation of its Peace and Security Architecture.”

35. “However, their actions are often limited by various constraints, especially the crucial issue of financing. The African Union is currently shouldering greater responsibility for peace and security on the continent, and it is troubling to note that the absence of predictable and sustainable financing hampers the potential of the institution. On that matter, in document S/2015/682, entitled, "The future of United Nations peace operations: implementation of the recommendations of the High- level Independent Panel on peace operations", the Secretary-General acknowledged, and rightly so, that the growing responsibilities of the African Union and the regional economic communities, as well as regional mechanisms, in peace and security are a significant human and financial burden for African countries.”

36. “The peacekeeping operations of the African Union are local responses to global challenges. Enhancing the partnership between the United Nations and the AU would therefore certainly assist the AU in acquiring the appropriate means to conduct effective action, which is in everyone's best interests. In that regard, strengthening the partnership at the strategic and operational levels is necessary for greater synergy and coherence, in the light of the evolving security Challenges facing the African continent. Analysis indicates that, since its effective implementation in 2004, the AU Peace and Security Council, as well as the mechanisms of the African Peace and Security Architecture, have been active in various crises, in particular those in Burundi, Cote d'Ivoire, the Comoros, Darfur and Somalia.”

37. “That means that the African Union has become a major player in collective security and is, furthermore, endeavouring to create a structure for collective security and to strengthen that security by way of the African Peace and Security Architecture, which is a comprehensive tool that seeks in particular to prevent, combat and manage conflicts on the continent. Establishing the African Peace and Security Architecture represents a symbolic expression of the African Union's genuine desire to tackle issues of peace and security on the continent. That intention is clear, in spite of the number and scope of the difficulties to overcome, and is demonstrated by the adoption of the AU Road Map 2016-2020, which seeks, among other things, to prevent and remove obstacles impeding the full functioning of the African Peace and Security Architecture.”

As a strategic partner of the United Nations in the areas of peace and security, the African Union has demonstrated its determination and ability to act as a first responder to African crises. Indeed, the African Union has shown its willingness and ability to provide primary responses to the crises proliferating on the African continent.”

We have gathered once again to review the cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union (AU). We remain convinced of the importance of the strategic partnership, which covers our mutual efforts aimed at maintaining peace and security in Africa. Based on that conviction, the President of the Republic of Senegal, His Excellency Mr. Macky Sall, felt that the matter of strengthening the partnership should be a priority item on the Security Council's agenda during the Senegalese presidency this month. Today's debate therefore enables us to reflect on how best to use that cooperation so as to meet the current challenges.”

Senegal therefore implores all of the countries that have not yet expressed their consent to be bound by the Treaty, in particular annex 2 States, to take the appropriate measures in that regard to build a safer world.”

Because of its commitment to the ideal of a world free of nuclear weapons, Senegal has committed to the goal of making this historic moment the start of a new era, marked by a renewal of the pledge to disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation. That is why the Senegalese delegation commends the importance given to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) as the cornerstone of the nuclear non-proliferation regime and the crucial foundation for the pursuit of nuclear disarmament. The United Nations can never state it enough: the main objective is not just non-proliferation but nuclear disarmament, pursuant to article VI of the NPT.”

To date, 166 States are parties to the Treaty, including 36 of the 44 listed in the annex, whose ratifications are required for the Treaty to be enter into force. That shows the importance of resolution 2310 (2016), which the Council just dopted, with the support of the Senegalese delegation, to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of such an important instrument.”

48. “Mr. Ndiaye (Senegal) (spoke in French): We are gathered here again to express our commitment to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty 20 years after it was opened for signature here in New York on 24 September 1996. The adoption of the Treaty was the result of grave concerns over an alarming nuclear arms race and an attempt to save the world from the terror that loomed over it. Over 2,000 nuclear tests were carried out between 1945 and 1996. Twenty years after the signing of that instrument, that number has drastically decreased to nine, which is still disconcerting, but promising, in our efforts to achieve the desired goal.”

Each member of WAEMU reserves the right to apply more stringent measures to meet a particular requirement following the results of a threat analysis. Senegal supports the idea of improved cooperation among ICAO, the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force and the Counter-Terrorism Committee through its Executive Directorate. In conclusion, my delegation welcomes and looks forward to the organization of the upcoming special meeting on threats to civil aviation and awaits with great interest the briefing on the meeting's results, which will be presented to the Security Council in 12 months.”
