“This regulatory framework was significantlhy updated at the national level within the framework of the implementation of the provisions of annex 17 to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation and of the related Universal Security Audit Programme. Senegal has also created a platform to exchange sensitive information with other States in order to affectively face the rise in new threats, attacks and unlawful acts using aircraft and airports. Pursuant to decree 2015/1969 of 21 September 2015, Senegal has set up a monitoring system for civil aviation security, based on ICAO's provisions. That will ensure the security of air transport in our territory for the setting up of a national civil aviation security programmes.”

“In accordance with the provisions of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), every State has a responsibility to guarantee the effective implementation of all security-related measures to protect civil aviation against unlawful acts. For several years, Senegal has undertaken a vast programme to bolster its civil aviation security in both its territory and in its air space. The policy has enabled the adoption by the National Assembly of my country of a new civil aviation code through its law 2015/10, adopted on 4 May 2015. Senegal has also set up a number ofaviation rules and regulations to improve the implementation of security measures and procedures.”

“Mr. Ndiaye (Senegal) (spoke in French): It is a pleasure for me to see all Security Council Members here at this public debate on a clearly important and relevant topic. Terrorist attacks on civil aviation have happened with alarming frequency in recent years. They pose yet another threat to international peace and security. The Senegalese delegation also wishes to extend its gratitude to the United Kingdom, sponsor of this initiative, which gives us an opportunity to begin considering the ways and means to effectively rise to the new challenges civil aviation faces. That is why we voted in favour of and co-sponsored resolution 2309 (2016), which the Council has just adopted. This is yet another important step in the right direction.”

“The resolution sets the parameters for developing more coordinated, comprehensive and coherent strategies capable of laying the true foundations for a lasting peace as it addresses the areas ofpeace, development and human rights. These strategies should now focus on strengthening synergies so as to ensure greater impact on the ground. This is where the relevance of the concept of the sustainability ofpeace is found. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that resolution 2282 (2016) is an important step forward in our efforts to adapt the peacebuilding architecture to today's challenges and that we should now mobilize further in order to implement it effectively.”

“They require assistance with electoral affairs, judicial and security sector reform, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, strengthening the health and education systems, relaunching activity, and supporting agriculture and job creation, particularly for the young. Meeting these challenges is a complex undertaking that cannot be successful without a comprehensive, coherent and coordinated approach by the various actors and stakeholders in the peacebuilding process. The adoption of an identical resolution by the General Assembly (resolution 70/262) and the Security Council (resolution 2282 (2016)) on the review of the United Nations peacebuilding architecture represents a historic step in that it reflects a desire to make a break in our approach to peacebuilding.”

“The lessons learned from the consolidation process in Guinea Bissau, in particular, give us the full measure of this dimension. The example of the ECOWAS Mission in Guinea-Bissau (ECOMIB) is a case study that documents the difficulties that regional and subregional African organizations face in financing peacebuilding measures. Here, we would like to welcome the valuable support of the European Union, without which ECOMIB could not continue its work in Guinea-Bissau today. Countries involved in peacebuilding are still politically fragile. Their institutions are often weak, their economies are vulnerable, and their young people face the challenges of idleness and unemployment. These are often countries where everything has to be rebuilt. The challenges they face in the peacebuilding process are enormous, as is their need of assistance.”

“Steps should be taken to create the conditions for the transfer of functions to the countries concerned as soon as peacekeeping operations withdraw. I would also like to emphasize the importance of maintaining and strengthening support and assistance for countries in transition to peace so that they can continue to benefit from the attention of the international community, particularly in terms of receiving sustainable and predictable funding. While countries emerging from conflict require significant funding over long periods, it is clear that that funding is limited, irregular and unpredictable. However, in order for peace to be durable, the restoration of security must go hand in hand with economic development.”
2016-07-28 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7750 (2016) · source
“Such planning should duly take into account the conditions and goals that must be met to end a peacekeeping operation and to safeguard the transition to an integrated peacebuilding office or some other arrangement. In that respect, it is important to guarantee from the outset that peace missions can create the conditions for a smooth transition, drawdown and withdrawal without compromising efforts to attain the long-term goals of peace and stability. To that end, we should start developing peacebuilding activities in the early stages of missions, directing efforts towards strengthening national capacities and addressing the deeper structural and socioeconomic problems that these countries often face, while promoting an ongoing political dialogue and effective coordination between the various stakeholders.”

“Furthermore, joint assessments of the nature and challenges of peacebuilding in Africa, as well as ongoing dialogue on the best way to harmonize support to countries on the peacebuilding agenda, are other actions that may give more added value to this cooperation. The third point I would like to address today is the management of the transition to sustainable peace. We all agree that the success of this critical phase of peace consolidation is a fundamental element in preventing renewed conflict, while providing a guarantee of lasting stability. We have learned from the experience of countries coming out of conflict that the transition to sustainable peace is a very demanding undertaking, one that, moreover, requires planning at an early stage.”

“The example of the involvement of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), particularly in Guinea-Bissau and several other countries of the subregion, in collaboration with the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General for West Africa and other regional and international partners, is quite illustrative of the importance of this action. Another important issue to consider in the framework of enhanced cooperation with the African Union and subregional organizations is coordinating the activities of the various actors involved in the process of consolidating peace in Africa, with a view to promoting concerted and coherent actions. Greater interaction between the Peacebuilding Commission and the relevant organs of the African Union would promote better coordination and streamlining of efforts on the ground.”

“Thanks to their interventions, several crises and tensions have been defused at an early stage. Better still, with the establishment of its peace and security architecture, the African Union has made clear its ambition to play a more active role in conflict prevention. I therefore call for greater support for efforts to operationalize the peace and security architecture. This brings me to the second point of my speech, namely, strengthening cooperation with the African Union and African subregional organizations. Incidentally, it should be noted that the lessons learned from peace consolidation in Africa reveal the crucial role they play in this area.”

“But the Organization - particularly the Security Council, which has the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security - has a crucial role to play in that regard. This brings me to welcome the Council's adoption justbefore this debate of the presidential statement on the United Nations Office in West Africa and the Sahel region (S/PRST/2016/11). The success of the Office's activities teaches us that preventive diplomacy is within reach if it is backed by the strong political will of the leaders of the region with the constant support of the African Union and the United Nations. This is the intrinsic reality of good- neighbour diplomacy as we try to develop it in Senegal. The African Union and African regional organizations are actively involved in mediation and conflict prevention in Africa.”

“It is no coincidence that the comprehensive review of the whole question of peacekeeping operations in all their aspects, the review of the peacebuilding architecture and the review of the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) on women, peace and security all converge on the need to give a new impetus to prevention. Obviously, the cross-cutting dimension of prevention calls for building synergies between these three complementary reviews, with a view to developing coherent and holistic strategies and approaches to promoting sustainable peace. In order to achieve a lasting peace, we must give primacy to political solutions. That is why we must improve our prevention and mediation tools by setting up more effective strategies. Admittedly, under Article 33 of the Charter, the responsibility for prevention lies with Member States.”
2016-07-28 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7750 (2016) · source
“We must first invest more in prevention by also addressing the root causes of conflicts in Africa. The tools at our disposal in this regard are certainly many, but too often it is the political will that is lacking and that becomes an obstacle to any early action, particularly by the Security Council. This has often resulted in late interventions or reactions after the fact, which have sometimes been ineffective and very expensive. Moreover, beyond the cyclical causes, our actions must also move towards resolving the root causes of conflict, the only guarantee of lasting solutions. Make no mistake; the efficiency and effectiveness of our action will depend largely on our ability to prevent conflicts and emerging threats.”

“Clearly, a new approach to the way we work to consolidate peace - as the conclusions of the report of the Advisory Group of Experts (S/2015/490) on the review of the peacebuilding architecture suggest - is essential if we are to be more effective and to attain sustainable results. Thus, taking into account the specificity of each country and each situation, we must mark a break in our approach, focusing on strategies and actions aimed at creating conditions conducive to the emergence of resilient societies and States able to address the challenges of sustainable peace. Without a doubt, this will require us to redefine the order of priorities in our actions and strategies. In that regard, I would particularly like to emphasize four basic directions that should guide, it seems to us, our efforts if we wish to achieve meaningful results.”

“Despite the continued engagement of the Peacebuilding Commission in Africa for over a decade now, as well as the commendable efforts of the African Union and African subregional organizations, several African countries in crisis or emerging from crisis remain vulnerable and are still struggling to achieve lasting stability. The fact that all six countries on the Peacebuilding Commission's agenda are African is sufficiently illustrative. This fragility, which is partly the result of factors whose root causes are not always easy to grasp, casts doubt on the effectiveness of peacebuilding strategies developed several decades, particularly in Africa.”

“Mr. Ndiaye (Senegal) (spoke in French): At the outset, I would like to congratulate you personally, Mr. President, and your Government for acceding to the presidency of the Security Council this month and to thank you for convening this high-level ministerial meeting on an issue that is of great concern to us as an African country. Allow me also to thank and congratulate Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, as well as our briefers, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Kenya, Ms. Amina Chawahir Mohamed, and the Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union, Mr. Smail Chergui, for their important statements, to which Senegal fully subscribes. Taking stock of our efforts to promote peace and security in Africa, it is regrettable that the bulk of those efforts is devoted to peacebuilding in post- conflict situations.”

“Senegal is also thinking very seriously about the length of service of contingents, which sometimes puts men and women in pecaekeeping operations in situations that are very difficult to bear. We believe that contingents should be relieved more frequently. In conclusion, I would like to once again express to you, Mr. President, and to France our warm congratulations and gratitude for the initiative of holding today's important ministerial debate. Through me, Senegal would like to reiterate its commitment to continuing to contribute to the protection of civilians in peacekeeping operations around the world, with the hope that these operations have sufficient and appropriate resources and that their mandates are sufficiently clear and robust, as necessary, for them to perform tasks that have become increasingly complex and dangerous.”

“One month earlier, on 11 March, the Council adopted resolution 2272 (2016), which aims to prevent sexual abuse and exploitation by peacekeeping mission staff. In that regard, it is important to note that His Excellency Mr. Macky Sall, President of the Republic of Senegal, is a co-sponsor of the International Campaign to Stop Rape and Gender Violence in Conflict. Senegal, as the Chair of the Security Council Working Group on Peacekeeping Operations, has launched a reflection on two important topics, namely, the use of technology in peacekeeping operations and cooperation among the United Nations and regional organizations, in particular the African Union. In that context, we also plan to hold a thematic debate on the protection of civilians by focusing on the links between various political strategies.”

“The Security Council adopted resolutions 1265 (1999) and 1894 (2009), through which it established the protection of civilians as a top priority and expressed its determination to deal with situations in which serious Violations of international humanitarian law and human rights are committed. The Security Council must do more in the face ofthose challenges. In the same spirit, it is important to take into account resolution 1325 (2000) on women and peace and security, and the involvement of women in conflict prevention and the management and resolution of conflicts. It is also important to implement resolution 2282 (2016), on post-conflict peacebuilding, which the Council adopted on 27 April.”

“I would like to emphasize the importance of strengthening cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations, such as the African Union and ECOWAS, in the framework of Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations, which is devoted to regional agreements. That cooperation needs to be strengthened and intensified in order to provide greater support to regional economic communities. In the same vein, I would advocate for greater support by the international community to the African Peace and Security Architecture, so that Africans can better manage the conflicts that take place in Africa.”

“Our experience has shown that, in order to be effective, peacekeeping operations must not only be based on clear mandates, but also need to have the requisite financial resources and adequate equipment. In Mali, for example, we think, like other member States of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which met in Dakar on 4 June, that the mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali needs to be more robust, with equipment that is adapted to the threats and murderous terrorist attacks directed against the troops almost daily, as well as with strengthened capacity in logistics and troops.”

“The effective implementation of those measures should enable peacekeeping operations to enter a new phase in achieving their missions, thanks to an ongoing dialogue, inter alia on defining the contents of mandates and the roles to be played by the various stakeholders, including troop-contributing countries such as ours, donors and the United Nations. Senegal is honoured to be the seventh largest troop- and police-contributing country in the world, the third in Africa and the first in West Africa, with approximately 3,769 men and women serving in seven peacekeeping operations. My country is also the first global contributor of police forces to peacekeeping operations.”

“Current missions go beyond the strict security framework of peacekeeping operations and are being transformed into peacebuilding and protection-of- civilians missions, which requires enhanced synergy between the military, police and civilian components. We need to work more on that point. At this stage, I would like to mention the reform of peacekeeping operations, which is necessary. We need to continue that process, even accelerate it, in order to better adapt peacekeeping operations to the most urgent present and future needs. The recommendations made by senior officials in their various reports, as well as those adopted by the General Assembly, include very ambitious measures, such as the modernization of troop equipment and increased financial support.”

“In addition to peacekeeping and the maintenance of security, today's mission activities include various components, such as economic and humanitarian assistance, the protection of human rights, assistance to internally displaced persons and refugees, involvement in political processes, reforming justice systems, the training of police forces, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of former combatants, demining, peacebuilding and much more. The police component of peacekeeping operations, which was initially supposed to monitor, observe and report, is today called upon to play a more important role in the implementation of the new peacekeeping operation mandates established by the Security Council.”

“To do that, it is important to strengthen the culture of preventing violations of international humanitarian law and human rights, in all its forms, and to combat impunity for the perpetrators of such violations. Senegal is firmly convinced that progress in peacekeeping operations in the protection of civilians needs to be measured against the way that the current threats to peace and international security have evolved. The new threats are terrorism and Violent extremism, which require us to adapt radically so as to deal with them.”

“It is commendable that the Security Council, in resolution 2154 (2014), enshrined his memory in the glorious pages of its history by establishing, on 8 May 2014, the "aptain Mbaye Diagne Medal for Exceptional Bravery to honour military, police and civilian personnel of the United Nations and associated personnel who demonstrate exceptional courage in the service of humankind and the United Nations. Furthermore, it is important to underscore the need to strengthen mobilization aimed at protecting civilians in armed conflicts. It is true that States have the primary responsibility to protect civilians, but it is also true that the United Nations, through the Security Council, has an essential role to play.”

“In that regard, the Senegalese armed forces, in particular contingents that are preparing for peacekeeping operations, have benefited from initial training and ongoing training in the legal aspects of conflicts with a View to better acquainting them with international humanitarian law and human rights issues in order to ensure better respect for the obligations that are incumbent on them. In saying that, I would like to recall the courage demonstrated by Captain Mbaye Diagne ofSenegal, who sacrificed his life to save civilians during the genocide in Rwanda.”

“The commitment of my country to peacekeeping operations is intrinsically linked to the protection of civilians, and is further bolstered by the various international instruments on international humanitarian law, inter alia, the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their multilateral protocols relating to human rights, not to mention the various African legal instruments, in particular the Organization of African Unity Convention governing the specific aspects of refugee problems in Africa of 1969. Concern for the protection of civilians remains a major priority for Senegal in peacekeeping operations. I would like to recall that my country signed the Kigali Principles on the Protection of Civilians and, long ago, took a number of measures aimed at ensuring the protection of civilians.”

“We have all seen that, in various conflicts across the world, in particular in Africa, armed conflicts have always been characterized by the indiscriminate use of violence and the high number of civilian casualties, among which, unfortunately, the majority are children and women. The gloomy picture painted in the report of the Secretary-General (S/2016/447) on the protection of civilians in armed conflict, as well as the current humanitarian disasters around the world, remind us of a reality that bears repeating: the majority of the victims in armed conflict are civilians. Allow me to express the great interest that Senegal attaches to the protection of civilians in the framework of peacekeeping operations.”

The holding ofa ministerial meeting of the Security Council on the protection of civilians in peacekeeping operations gives us an opportunity to take stock of the actions undertaken in that area, and in particular to deepen our reflection on the challenges before the United Nations in general, and the Security Council in particular, in terms of implementing the mandates of peacekeeping operations.”

France, we must stress, has always stood firmly by our side in the quest for and the construction and consolidation of peace in Africa. Without France, entire countries today would be in much more difficult situations. I am thinking in particular of Mali and the Central African Republic. In that connection, I welcome the presence here of the President of the Central African Republic, Mr. Faustin Archange Touadera. I would like to say how pleased I am to take part today in this discussion, which focuses on the protection of civilians in the context of peacekeeping operations.”

“A peaceful solution is the only destiny that the Palestinian and Israeli peoples deserve, in the same manner as other peoples who have been able to end their differences through dialogue." Based on that, Senegal, faithful to its principles and policies, will continue to work so that dialogue and consultation are favoured as a means to achieving the two-State solution, particularly in the context of the aforementioned Committee, which our country has had the honour of chairing since its founding, 40 years ago.”

“The progress made by the State of Palestine on the international level, such as its recognition by 136 countries, the presence of its flag at Headquarters since 30 September and its accession, in 2015, to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court are to be welcomed. Our beliefis that a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on two States - Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital, existing alongside Israel - would promote better management of the security and socioeconomic challenges that are facing the Middle East, where terrorism and violent extremism are on the verge of becoming a global threat.”

Senegal encourages and supports the Palestinian Government in its strategy aimed at joining international organizations and conventions in order to achieve lasting peace with Israel, based on international law and according to a peaceful approach.”

I therefore launch an appeal that the pledges - totalling $4 billion - made at the 2014 Cairo conference on Palestine be honoured.”

In the meantime, the Council should consider taking precautionary measures to enforce the status quo in Jerusalem's holy sites as well as ensuring international protection for the Palestinian people. In that regard, Senegal supports the proposal, made by France, to deploy international observers to help reduce tensions in the region.”

We must relaunch negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians, based on a specific timetable, in order to arrive at a definitive peace agreement.”

“The meeting on Jerusalem held in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 14 and 15 December 2015, at the initiative of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, together with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Indonesian Government, has focused attention on the danger of the forced Judaization of Jerusalem, the city that is a symbol of the three monotheistic religions. This policy runs the risk of turning a political crisis into a religious conflict, with incalculable consequences for the entire region. This tragic situation should oppress our collective consciousness and for more than one reason compel the Security Council to act to meet its obligations to the Palestinian people according to a specific timetable and with the support of the expanded Quartet.”

“Moreover, in the face of international condemnation and the relevant UnitedNations decisions, the Palestinian people in Gaza continue to endure an unacceptable blockade that is depriving children, women, the disabled and the elderly of rights as fundamental as education and health. The same is true of the arbitrary detention, frequently through administrative means, of many Palestinians, including minors, as well as the strategies designed to alter Jerusalem demographically, geographically and culturally, which have only exacerbated this decades-long conflict.”

“Today's meeting is once again being held amid escalating violence on the ground involving many civilian casualties, children among them, in the region, including in the occupied Palestinian territories. In Palestine in particular, we are seeing increasing acts of violence, intimidation and provocation, not the least of which are confiscations of Palestinian land, demolitions of their houses and creeping colonization. Such actions are likely to stir up hatred and extremism in both Palestine and Israel and thereby encourage an escalation of violence and insecurity between their peoples.”

This is the third time that Senegal has held a seat in the Council. I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm the commitment of Senegal and its President, Mr. Macky Sall, to the ideals of global peace, security and justice. I would like to begin by welcoming Uruguay's laudable initiative in holding a ministerial-level open debate on the situation in the Middle East, including Palestine.”

“In that respect, I underscore the meaningful contributions that regional and subregional organizations can and must provide to the implementation of that important agenda. In that light, I reaffirm that Senegal, as the seventh-largest troop- contributing country and candidate for non-permanent membership of the Council for 2016-2017, maintains a priority focus on the women and peace and security agenda. That priority is already manifested by the 60 Senegalese women participating in United Nations missions and the Senegalese contribution towards making the idea of a situation room a familiar concept. Senegal's faith in the leadership of women was highlighted by President Macky Sall's choice to co-sponsor the launching of the United Nations campaign against sexual violence.”

“However, despite those highly encouraging efforts, women and girls continue to be subject to the lawlessness of warlords. That is why we believe it important, as we pursue our efforts under resolution 1325 (2000) and other substantive texts, to adopt an integrated, holistic approach that prioritizes the political, development and human rights perspectives in order to better keep the peace, break the cycle of impunity and ensure reconciliation and the social reintegration of victims and their former executioners. That brings me to the question of the empowerment a particularly economic - of women during and after conflict as they take part in the kind of recovery efforts that are so valued by the Peacebuilding Commission.”

“As an integral component of crimes against humanity, genocide and war crimes, sexual and gender- based violence breaches the social contract that binds civilians to security forces, undermines the foundations of peace and destroys development efforts. Moreover, discrimination against women in peace efforts, in addition to further aggravating such injustice, runs the risk of sowing the future seeds of resurgent conflict. The implementation of this programmatic and operational framework, strengthened by other resolutions, led the Council to take into account the issue of women and peace and security in 7 of 13 agreements concluded in 2013 and in 14 of 20 resolutions creating or extending United Nations peacekeeping mandates. I commend the participation of women in all United Nations-led peace mediation efforts in 2013.”

“Mr. Ndiaye (Senegal) (spoke in French): At the outset, I would like to commend the Spanish presidency of the Security Council and to welcome the President of the Spanish Government to this important open debate on women and peace and security. I would also like to commend the quality of the report (S/2015/7l6) of the Secretary-General, as well as to welcome the briefings by the Executive Director of UN-Women and the others who spoke after her. As a historic milestone, resolution 1325 (2000) will contribute to bridging a gap when it comes to the search for lasting peace, reconciliation among people and ensuring justice.”

“It is a question of encouraging initiatives and programmes that favour dialogue, tolerance and understanding among civilizations, cultures, peoples and religions. It is also a question of promoting mutual respect and prevention of defamation of religion, religious values, beliefs and cultures. In conclusion, I would like to reaffirm Senegal's staunch determination and unwavering commitment to collaborating with the United Nations and all concerned actors in the fight against this pernicious threat to international peace and security. On behalf of Senegal, I welcome the unanimous adoption of resolution 2178 (2014), which is a decisive step on the path towards finding a lasting solution to the phenomenon and which at the same time embodies the political will to bring a collective response to the terrorist threat.”

“The world's political evolution, the development of new information and communication technologies as well as the existence of new, more complex and multidimensional conflicts have encouraged terrorist movements to refine their methods of action. To that may be added their often erroneous interpretation of religion and an abusive use of religious vocabulary. Furthermore, the increase in hostage-taking by terrorist groups in order to obtain funds and political concessions is worthy of our full attention. These kidnappings for the purpose of extorting funds to finance terrorism must be dealt with impartially, objectively, technically and apolitically. Combating all these threats undoubtedly requires concerted actions that the United Nations has the responsibility to coordinate, harmonize and facilitate.”

“In that regard, I commend the United Nations Counter- Terrorism Centre's initiative to implement a project to improve the understanding of the phenomenon and develop best practices for putting an end to it. Indeed, the return of foreign fighters to their countries of origin is not without consequences. The implementation by the international community of an appropriate and efficient strategy is imperative to ending this new threat to global security. Despite our efforts, terrorism continues to rage in new and more sophisticated forms, particularly in the Sahel and West Africa, where the situation is beyond disturbing, where Boko Haram and various concealed and clandestine networks are operating.”
