  5. “The efforts of the Government to put into effect the agreement mediated by the Gulf Cooperation Council on the implementation mechanism for the transitional process is a visible demonstration of its commitment to injecting positive change into the Yemeni domestic arena. Regarding the report of the National Dialogue Conference, we believe that the speedy implementation of its provisions would engender confidence-building among the different segments of Yemeni society and foster peace among the warring parties. Within the framework of the National Dialogue Conference, the Government now has a unique opportunity to address those issues pertaining to relations between the northern and the southern regions, engender greater inclusion for women and youth, and indeed lay a credible foundation for lasting peace and prosperity in Yemen.”

  6. “They must take all necessary measures to put an immediate end to violence against civilians, including indiscriminate attacks on civilians. We want to urge all parties to take all necessary measures to provide safe and unhindered humanitarian access throughout the country, thereby ensuring the full and immediate implementation of resolution 2139 (2014). A military option would leave in its trail the victors and the vanquished. It would shut the door on a durable peace. That is why we urge the warring parties to return to the peace talks without preconditions. Regarding Yemen, we take positive note of the progress so far recorded in the political process in the country. The commencement of work by the Constitution Drafting Committee is an indication that Yemen is on the path to sustainable peace, security and stability.”

  7. “At this opportune moment, we encourage the joint mission to continue to engage the Syrian authorities in order to sustain the momentum to complete the removal operations in the coming days. On the humanitarian situation, it is clear that it is becoming ever more dire as the civil war in Syria intensifies. Repeated calls by well-meaning nations across the world for the warring parties to lay down their arms and embrace dialogue have gone unheeded. The parties to the conflict and their supporters must ensure that civilians are protected regardless of their religion, community or ethnic affiliation. Both the Syrian Government and the armed groups have the legal obligation and moral responsibility to do so.”

  8. “With the recent movements, Sigrid Kaag, the Special Coordinator of the joint mission of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the United Nations, confirmed yesterday that the Syrian Government has removed or destroyed in-country approximately 92 per cent of its declared stockpile of chemical weapons material. This renewed commitment on the part of the Syrian Government appears to be a positive development that would facilitate the completion of the task of the Joint Mission of the OPCW and the United Nations. We share the view of the Secretary-General that the precarious and unstable nature of the security situation underlines the critical importance of expediting the removal of chemical weapons material from Syria as quickly and as safely as possible.”

  9. “It requires the traditional give-and-take that is inherent in peace negotiations. Without equivocation, we want both sides to demonstrate greater flexibility in their long-term strategic interests. In our times, it has become axiomatic that there is no alternative to a two- State solution with Israel and Palestine living together side by side in peace, stability and security. Turning to Syria, we note the accelerated movement of chemical weapons material to storage sites in the port of Latakia over the past month.”

  10. “Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has given assurances that as part of the new unity Government in Palestine, Hamas will recognize Israel, commit itself to non-violence and adhere to previous agreements. President Abbas has expressed his continued commitment to peace negotiations with Israel. We expect Abbas to keep the faith. We hope that these pronouncements will reassure Israeli authorities and encourage them to return to the peace talks. We have heard concerns expressed by well- meaning world leaders about a lack of political will on both sides to make the necessary tough decisions. We are convinced that peace between Israel and Palestine cannot be imposed by the international community. We can only facilitate. Peace must emanate from both parties.”

  11. “I shall now make a statement in my national capacity. I first want to thank Special Coordinator Serry not only for his briefing but especially for his abiding commitment to the Middle East peace process. My comments will focus on the Middle East peace process, Syria and Yemen. I want to say categorically that the road to peace in the Middle East is becoming increasingly slippery. We note that Israel has announced that it is suspending its participation in the talks owing to the reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas. Coming as it does just two days before the 29 April deadline set in July 2013 by United States Secretary of State John Kerry for the talks to conclude, we must state that it is a considerable setback for the peace process.”

  12. “Robert Serry, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Personal Representative of the Secretary- General, to participate in this meeting.

The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I now give the floor to Mr. Serry.”

There being no objection, it is so decided. In accordance with rule 39 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite Mr.”

  18. “Member States that have yet to sign that important Declaration should be encouraged to do so before the October deadline - about six months from now. It is critical for States to focus collectively on converting the political commitments into concrete preventive action, particularly at national level. It is in that spirit that Nigeria today, in this forum, declares its intention to sign on to that laudable initiative as a means of demonstrating its unwavering commitment to the fight against sexual violence and all its ramifications. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. Iwish to request all speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously.”

  19. “Bills on addressing gender equality and all forms of violence against women and girls have been sponsored at both the federal and state level. Strident steps have been taken at the national level to ensure the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). In the same vein, Nigeria stresses the importance of compliance with resolution 1820 (2008), on ending acts of sexual violence against women in conflict. Nigeria fully embraces the adoption of political commitments to prevent sexual violence in conflict, namely, the historic declarations adopted by the Group of Eight countries in April 2013 and the Declaration of Commitment to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, which has been signed by more than 140 nations. We believe that Member States should implement those commitments as a matter of high priority.”

  20. “The women and peace and security component of the framework is aimed at consolidating women's role, participation and impact at all stages of conflict management, including humanitarian provisions, while reinforcing various national and regional mechanisms on their protection and promotion. Other regional initiatives of that nature include the women's network for peace and security in the ECOWAS region; the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding; the Movement against Small Arms and Light Weapons in West Africa; and the Alliance of African Initiatives for peace and stability in West Africa. At national level, through the Law Reform Commission and the Federal Ministry of Justice, Nigeria has initiated reforms in the criminal justice system to ensure the delivery of gender justice in law and practice.”

  21. “The meeting was aimed at significantly reducing and eliminating sexual violence and accelerating the implementation of agreed responses, especially those related to prevention and protection and victims' access to care and justice. At the subregional level in West Africa, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has also put in place strong mechanisms with regard to the role of women in conflict prevention and management. Those include the protocol on conflict prevention, management, resolution, peacekeeping and security and the supplementary protocol on democracy and good governance. Those mechanisms form the basis of the ECOWAS conflict-prevention framework.”

  22. “At the regional level, under the auspices of the African Union, the African Solidarity Initiative held a high-level meeting in October 2013 on preventing and responding to sexual violence in conflict and post-conflict countries and beyond. That consultation was organized under key international policy and action frameworks, particularly resolutions 1325 (2000) and 1820 (2008), the 2005 World Summit Outcome (General Assembly resolution 60/1), the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa, the protocol on the prevention and suppression of sexual violence against women and children and the 2009 African Union gender policy.”

  23. “At the global level there is now unprecedented commitment and momentum on the application of all the relevant Security Council resolutions. The international community must sustain that momentum. As part of those accomplishments, we believe that a great deal more needs to be done to implement commitments on women and peace and security. For example, there is a need for increased sex-disaggregated data on security threats in order to contribute to greater security for women. My country welcomes the Secretary-General's recommendations that outline critical elements for the prevention of sexual violence in conflict, specific actions required at political and operational levels and the need for national ownership, leadership and responsibility. The determination to tackle sexual violence in conflict is not confined to the United Nations.”

  24. “With that in mind, the time has come for us to redouble our efforts in the fight against the scourge and to hold all perpetrators accountable. That is the consensus in the Chamber. The Security Council demonstrated leadership in that regard in June 2013, by adopting resolution 2106 (2013), which underscores the need for more systematic monitoring of sexual violence in armed conflict. It is therefore imperative that the Council develop appropriate response mechanisms and consistently improve existing ones to ensure the participation of women in all aspects of mediation, post-conflict recovery and peacebuilding. We acknowledge the critical role of women protection advisers within human rights and women's empowerment and gender units in peacekeeping operations.”

  25. “Regrettably, many countries lack legal aid services and protocols for the protection of victims and witnesses, and an already weakened criminal justice system amplifies the lack of access to justice. We are pleased to note that United Nations actors, including the Team of Experts, continue to support national authorities in that regard. It is a matter of concern, as highlighted in the report, that the prevalence of sexual violence during a conflict often leaves not only an impact but especially bitter memories, with acute consequences for the security of women and children even when peace has been restored. That may ultimately have a direct bearing on the durability of peace and prospects for sustainable development.”

  26. “That is all part of a broader effort to strengthen institutional safeguards against impunity for conflict- related sexual Violence. Donors should be encouraged to ensure sustainable funding for this valuable resource for the countries concerned. Nigeria shares the Secretary- General's view that the lack of capacity remains one of the major impediments to ensuring accountability, which leads to widespread impunity. In turn, that has a detrimental impact on access to justice and the security and safety of survivors. It is evident that survivors' access to justice can be hindered by restrictions on physical access and inadequate legislation, or, indeed, by the financial and social costs associated with reporting and pursuing justice for crimes of sexual violence.”

  27. “We want to thank her and say that we support her in her work. Nigeria takes note of the highlights of the Secretary- General's report, including the actions taken by States and the challenges confronting them in conflict and post-conflict situations in preventing sexual violence. We welcome the broad-based consultations that guided the report's preparation, which involved United Nations entities in the United Nations Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict, field missions and country teams, all concerned Member States and non-governmental organizations. We acknowledge the important work of the United Nations Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence in Conflict. We encourage Member States to draw on their expertise in strengthening the rule of law and the capacities of civilian and military justice systems.”

  28. “I shall now make a statement in my national capacity. I would first like to join others in thanking the Secretary- General for his insightful report (S/2014/l81), which has provided this important debate with ample guidance. I would also like to express our appreciation to Special Representative of the Secretary-General Zainab Hawa Bangura for her determined and enduring efforts to ensure global involvement in the fight against the abhorrent crimes of rape and sexual violence, especially in conflict. Those present will all agree with me that Ms. Rhoda Misaka stirred our conscience this morning with her impassioned statement. She reveals the horror of sexual violence in conflict and invites us to fight this barbarism - more than barbarism - with unrelenting determination and commitment.”
