  3. “We believe that resolving the problems facing the Central African Republic requires the concerted efforts of all actors in the country based on the principle of mutual respect, while taking the interests of all parties into account. We will continue to work closely with the Central African Republic in coordination with the country’s leadership, its international partners and the African Union, as well as the United Nations, including the Security Council.

  4. “In addition, we continue to provide military equipment to the Armed Forces of the Central African Republic. Armoured reconnaissance and patrol vehicles are currently being delivered to the country. At the same time, we see that the rigorous sanctions regime does not allow Central Africans to effectively strengthen the capacity of their security institutions and combat rampant crime. The Security Council must ensure that sanctions are commensurate with the political context and do not hamper conflict resolution. In addition, we consider it essential to pay close attention to Bangui’s efforts, including its delisting requests, which will improve the engagement of the Central African people with the Committee established pursuant to resolution 2127 (2013) concerning the Central African Republic.”

  5. “We highly appreciate the efforts of President Touadera in de-escalate political tensions, including his initiative to hold a frank dialogue with national political actors and partners of the Central African Republic in preparation for the elections. The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic remains a key element in ensuring security in the country. We trust that peacekeepers will provide the necessary technical and logistical support to Bangui during the electoral cycle. At the request of the Government of the Central African Republic, the Russian Federation is helping to strengthen the capacity and training of national security agencies. The work of the Russian trainers was highly commended by the authorities in Bangui.”

  6. “Regional partners, including the guarantors of the agreement, also have an important role to play in supporting the peace efforts. We trust that the country’s leadership will successfully overcome the challenges, including those related to the coronavirus disease pandemic, and continue to implement the disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and repatriation programme for former combatants, as well as the formation and deployment of joint security units. We are convinced that it is in the interests of the Central African Republic to hold peaceful, free and transparent presidential and parliamentary elections in accordance with the national legislation and the constitutional timeframes.”

  7. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the Russian Federation. We thank our briefers today for the information provided. It is encouraging to note that the Political Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic of 6 February 2019 is functioning. It has already led to a reduction in the general level of armed violence in the country. However, we are concerned that certain armed groups are not fulfilling their commitments, which seriously complicates the national reconciliation process and exacerbates the already difficult situation. All parties must strictly adhere to the provisions of the Political Agreement and refrain from undermining the political situation in the country.”

  10. “We object to attempts to pin blame for all developments in the region on one side alone. We reiterate our call for all stakeholders to begin comprehensive dialogue to create favourable conditions for cooperation. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Yemen.”

  11. “We will also support the efforts of the United Nations Mission to Support the Hodeidah Agreement. We trust that our Security Council colleagues and the entire international community will do the same. In conclusion, we would like to note that the situation in Yemen has a direct bearing on the Middle East, the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea regions. In order to achieve de-escalation in the region, we urge the international community to engage in constructive cooperation in pursuit of peace and stability throughout the Middle East, including on the basis of resolution 598 (1987). The Russian blueprint for collective security in the Persian Gulf region remains relevant in that regard. It provides for an inclusive and collective approach for resolving problems.”

  12. “We very much value the role of the International Committee of the Red Cross in that process — a development that shows that the parties are indeed able to negotiate. We trust that will enable them to build trust and establish a comprehensive dialogue. Among the issues where progress can be achieved is the situation concerning the FSO SAFER oil tanker. We urge the stakeholders, including the United Nations Office for Project Services, to look after one another’s interests and cooperate constructively with a sharp focus on achieving solutions acceptable to all. On our part, we will pursue contacts with all interested Yemeni and external parties. We will urge them to seek compromise and support the efforts of both the United Nations and Mr. Griffiths personally.”

  13. “We consistently advocate that the parties to the Yemeni conflict should as soon as possible renounce violence and move towards a political settlement of their differences. We see no alternative to resolving issues through an intra-Yemeni dialogue. We note with regret that the parties have not yet signed the joint declaration. We support Special Envoy Griffiths’ tireless efforts in these circumstances. He has steadfastly sought to establish discussions among the belligerents in order to end hostilities, establish confidence-building measures and tackle urgent humanitarian, socioeconomic and political matters. We welcome the agreement on the exchange of prisoners and the beginning of its implementation.”

  14. “We are concerned that the United Nations programmes to provide basic assistance, including food security, access to water and health services, are being curtailed due to a lack of funding. We are deeply concerned about the current health situation. The vital infrastructure has been almost completely destroyed, and there is an acute shortage of medicines and equipment. That is compounded by the coronavirus disease pandemic. Our country is providing assistance to Yemen through United Nations agencies. We call on donors, including from the region, to increase the necessary support. At the same time, we recall that humanitarian assistance must be impartial and that assistance must be distributed on a non-discriminatory basis to the entire population in all parts of the country, regardless of who controls a particular area.”

  15. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the Russian Federation. We thank Special Envoy of the Secretary-General Martin Griffiths and Under-Secretary-General Mark Lowcock for their overview of the political and humanitarian situation in Yemen. We are concerned that fighting continues in various parts of Yemen, affecting civilians in particular. The situation in the country, widely acknowledged as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today, continues to deteriorate. Humanitarian problems and challenges have come to the fore, requiring an immediate response from the international community. At the same time, humanitarian assistance is being delivered intermittently.”

I give the floor to Mr. Griffiths.”

  17. “In conclusion, I wish to reaffirm that Russia, as a member of the Group of Friends of the Great Lakes Region, intends to continue actively assisting the peace process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and promoting the stabilization of the region as a whole. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

  18. “We expect that the regional strategy for the prevention of armed conflicts currently being drafted by the Office of the Special Envoy will give new impetus to implementing the provisions of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework. We share the concern expressed in the report of the Secretary-General (S/2020/951) over the humanitarian situation in the Great Lakes region, which has deteriorated during the pandemic. Against that backdrop, one positive development is the ongoing repatriation of Burundian refugees from neighbouring countries. We believe that this process clearly attests to the qualitative transformation of the situation in Burundi, which no longer poses a threat to international peace and security. We hope that the Security Council will soon be able to take a decision on removing that country from its agenda.”

  19. “We welcome the work of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General in that regard, in particular in terms of overcoming the deficit of trust by enhancing cooperation among the heads of intelligence and security bodies of the States of the region. We proceed from the assumption that it is imperative that all countries fully and unconditionally comply with the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes Region, which is the fundamental document and the tool for achieving stabilization in the region. We welcome the growing attention of regional players to the importance of upholding the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework. We believe that its full implementation will strongly influence the situation in the Great Lakes region.”

  20. “We also find it very positive that, at the SADC summit in August, that regional organization reiterated its commitment to continue lending support to the Democratic Republic of the Congo as the country strives to stabilize its eastern provinces, inter alia, by sending contingents to the Force Intervention Brigade of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We cannot fail to note the productive efforts of the regional organizations in responding to the effects of the pandemic. We believe that all these efforts deserve the strong support of the global community.”

  21. “Against this backdrop, we welcome the commitment of the regional States to enhance cooperation in order to overcome the emerging challenges. We note the successful settlement of the border dispute between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia, facilitated by the Southern African Development Community (SADC). We specifically welcome the four- party summits aimed at normalizing relations between Uganda and Rwanda that have been convened under the leadership of the presidents of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola, the most recent of which was held in a virtual format on 7 October.”

  22. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the Russian Federation. At the outset, let me join the words of appreciation addressed to Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Great Lakes Region, Mr. Huang Xia, for his substantial briefing. The security situation in the region is still defined by the state of affairs in the eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which remains rather complicated. The Congolese army and its supporting peacekeepers have not achieved a qualitative change in the fight against illegal armed formations. A number of border incidents and the spread of the coronavirus disease pandemic have further aggravated the situation in the region over the past six months.”
