“The agreement complements the ongoing efforts of the African Union Peace and Security Council, which is working to institute a code of conduct and a zero- tolerance policy that clearly outlines the AU's strong position against sexual violence and exploitation by AU troops. The agreement strengthens the collaboration and common commitment of the African Union and the United Nations to combat impunity and promote accountability, implement capacity-building and training programmes, foster better coordination, national ownership and leadership, facilitate the provision of multisectoral services, and alleviate the stigma and trauma of victims. The African Union Agenda 2063, which was adopted by African heads of State and Government in Addis Ababa in January, is designed to build a more prosperous and peaceful continent.”

“Mlambo-Ngcuka, and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms. Zainab Hawa Bangura, for their astute leadership and untiring efforts to advance the women, peace and security agenda. At the regional level in Africa, the African Union (AU) has been a valid instrument and platform for the advancement of the women, peace and security agenda. In January 2014, the African Union Commission signed the Framework of Cooperation Concerning the Prevention and Response to Conflict-related Sexual Violence in Africa, with the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict. Its major focus is on preventing and responding to sexual violence in conflict and post- conflict situations.”

“In addition, three all-female police units are deployed in three United Nations missions around the world. According to DPKO, the participation of women as peacekeepers provides a greater sense of security to women and children, improves access to local women and makes United Nations peacekeepers more approachable to women. In view of the spectacular challenges that women face in post-conflict situations, those are highly significant considerations. We commend DPKO for the importance it attaches to the situation of women in the context of peacekeeping operations. Other important actors within the United Nations system are UN-Women and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict. We take this opportunity to pay special tribute to the Executive Director of UN-Women, Ms.”

“Beginning with resolution 1325 (2000), which set up the scaffold for subsequent Council resolutions that utilized the scaffold to build the women, peace and security agenda, the Security Council has been at the forefront of that evolving approach. The Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) has also played a constructive role in advancing the women and peace and security agenda by promoting the greater involvement of women in peacekeeping. According to United Nations data, 29 per cent of the 6,800 international civilians working in special political missions and peacekeeping missions are women. That is highly significant. Even more significant is the fact that women lead five peace operations as Special Representatives of the Secretary-General.”

“Those include the leadership and political participation of women in decision-making, women's involvement in peace efforts to prevent and resolve conflict, insufficient resources and funds, lack of disaggregated data, forced displacement exacerbated by persistent armed conflict, and continuing unprecedented levels of sexual violence and assault. Meeting those challenges is critical to making progress in the women and peace and security agenda. It requires a multistakeholder approach involving actors at the global, regional, subregional and national levels. Communities, civil society and individuals also have a pivotal role to play. At the global level, the Security Council has provided the leadership necessary to give impetus to the women and peace and security agenda.”

“Periodic reviews of this nature could help in galvanizing action and resources to address existing challenges and gaps in advancing the role of women within the context of the global peace and security architecture. We also welcome the positive developments achieved at the strategic and operational levels across the pillars of prevention, participation, protection, relief and recovery in implementing the women and peace and security agenda. Despite the significant achievements, significant gaps and challenges remain.”

“Nigeria welcomes you, Mr. President, to the Security Council and thanks the Spanish delegation for organizing this seminal debate. We acknowledge the presence ofparticipating ministers and welcome them to the Security Council. Our appreciation goes to the Secretary-General for his abiding commitment to the cause of women, to the Executive Director of UN-Women for her powerful exposition, and to Ms. Lusenge, Ms. Murabit and Ms. Mohammed for their courage and soul-searching testimonials. Nigeria welcomes the opportunity to reflect on the broad progress made in the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda 15 years after the adoption of the landmark resolution 1325 (2000).”

“Nigeria voted in favour of resolution 2241 (2015), renewing the mandate of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), because we acknowledge the role ofthe Mission as vital to stabilizing South Sudan. The tasks of the Mission are clear: to protect civilians, to monitor and investigate human rights, to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid and to support the implementation of the ceasefire and the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan. Those are without a doubt essential tasks that, in the current circumstances, only UNMISS can perform. We welcome the adoption of the resolution, which sends a message of support to the brave men and women of UNMISS working in very challenging circumstances to save lives and contribute to the peace process in South Sudan.”

“In the same vein, we condemn the maltreatment of migrants both in transit and in destination States. That is a violation of international humanitarian law and international refugee law. We urge all States to ensure the humane and dignified treatment of all migrants. It is beyond any doubt that fighting transnational organized crime requires international cooperation. An important dimension of that cooperation is sharing intelligence. That is pivotal to thwarting the criminal smuggling and trafficking networks. Origin, transit and destination States must collaborate on this and other measures. Indeed, all hands must be on deck. The adoption of the resolution sends a strong, unequivocal message to the smuggling and trafficking networks that the die is cast. Human trafficking will no longer be the pattern for profits.”

“Nigeria welcomes the adoption of resolution 2240 (2015), which seeks to address the menace of migrant smuggling and human trafficking in the Mediterranean, which has developed into a grave humanitarian crisis. As a State party to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its Protocols, Nigeria supports legitimate measures to combat the trafficking in persons. The activities of the migrant smugglers and human traffickers operating in the Mediterranean continue to endanger human lives. Thousands of men, women and children, as we have heard, have perished at sea in their attempt to seek safety and refuge beyond their borders. Nigeria condemns in the strongest terms the utter disregard for human life demonstrated by the smugglers and traffickers.”

“The renewal of the mandates of seven members of the Superior Council of the Judiciary and key administrative nominations have greatly improved the capacity of the justice sector. Similarly, the consultations on a draft Penal Code involving a broad range of stakeholders, including some from civil society, and the revision of the Criminal Procedure Code, represent significant steps forward in legislative reform. We want to encourage the Government to work to expedite the process of renewing judges' terms so as to enhance the judiciary's efficiency. While such positive developments in Haiti are testament to MINUSTAH's effectiveness, we would like to encourage the Mission to continue to use existing means and capabilities within its mandate to enhance stability there.”

“We note the efforts that have been made to strengthen its specialized units and increase the number of trainees admitted to the police training programme, with a view to reaching a target of 15,000 officers by 2016. The increase in violence and unrest during the reporting period underscores the importance of improving police capacity in the area of crowd control and other aspects of law enforcement. Efforts to enhance the competence, professionalism, accountability and discipline of the police will serve to build public confidence in that key national institution. Nigeria takes positive note of the Haitian Government's ongoing efforts to cooperate with MINUSTAH and other partners and stakeholders in strengthening the country's legal and judicial frameworks. Those represent noteworthy steps towards consolidating the rule of law in Haiti.”

“That is crucial to an outcome that reflects the will of Haiti's voters. Beyond those significant developments in organizational matters, we welcome the ongoing initiatives aimed at securing a peaceful environment during the elections. The Haitian National Police has worked hard to create an atmosphere conducive to holding peaceful elections. We are hopeful that the integrated security deployment planned by the joint electoral cell, composed of both Haitian police and MINUSTAH uniformed components, can eliminate the possibility of electoral violence. We commend MINUSTAH for arranging special protection for female candidates during the elections, which should help to encourage the women of Haiti to participate in their country's electoral process. In Haiti today, the National Police needs to grow, both in size and in capability.”

“Successful elections will require robust international support. That is why we welcome the indispensable support of the international community in the collective effort of assisting Haiti to sustain democracy and good governance. The participation of international election observation missions would inspire the confidence of political parties, candidates and voters in their electoral process. We commend the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Office for Project Services, MINUSTAH and other international partners for the technical and logistical assistance they have provided in support of the elections in Haiti. The anti-fraud measures that are being put in place, including the electronic transmission of tally sheets from polling stations to operations centres, give some assurance that the elections will be credible.”

“I wish to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for her briefing and commend her astute leadership of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). Nigeria commends the transitional Government in Haiti for the significant progress recorded in the country's political process. The first round of legislative elections, held in August, attests to the commitment of the country's leaders and, indeed, of the people of Haiti to democratic governance. It is understood that all political parties in the country have a pivotal role to play in ensuring the success of the electoral process. We urge the Government to align the decisions of the Provisional Electoral Council with those of the courts in order to minimize the risk of violence and foster the necessary consensus for elections to be held as scheduled.”

“Ultimately, what is required to counter the terrorist threat is enhanced cooperation in law enforcement, intelligence sharing and capacity-building. The relevant Security Council resolutions, the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and other regional instruments already provide an adequate framework for the necessary international cooperation. We do not need new road maps. We are confident that, with all States working concertedly and with closer coordination by the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force, the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate and other United Nations counter-terrorism bodies, the challenge of terrorism in the Middle East, North Africa and other parts of the world, which exacerbates conflict, can be decisively addressed. We hope that this is a beginning.”

“It is those networks, aided by modern information and communication technology, that are now being exploited to recruit new fighters. As of 2013, it was estimated that there were over 5,000 foreign terrorist fighters in Syria alone. Reports indicate that more than 25,000 foreign terrorist fighters from over 100 countries may now be engaged in the Middle East and North African regions alongside local terrorist groups. The indication today is that foreign terrorist fighters represent a threat on several levels: first, in their States of origin; secondly, in transit States; and, thirdly, in the destination States. Any effort to address this menace will require cooperation, not only among the affected States but indeed by the entire international community.”

“The emergence of ISIL and its control of territory in Syria and Iraq have changed the political and security landscape of the Middle East. ISIL has become a grave threat to the unity and territorial integrity of Syria and Iraq. Terrorist groups also threaten Libya and Yemen. In all those cases, those groups have taken advantage of the political and security vacuum created by conflicts to establish themselves and advance their hideous agenda. The need for the international community to address those threats is today very urgent. Another dimension of the terrorist threat is the proliferation of foreign terrorist fighters. Studies indicate that this is not a new phenomenon. Many of today's foreign terrorist fighters have fought as comrades in other developing networks in the process.”

“The lack of progress in the Middle East peace process has in turn heightened the threat of terrorism, especially manifested in the Middle East and North African regions. Attacks by ISIL, the Al-Nusra Front, Al-Qaida and other terrorist groups have claimed the lives of thousands of civilians and displaced many more. Those attacks have been orchestrated by violent extremists who perpetrate acts of anarchy, insecurity and injustice under the banner of religion. They target women, children and other vulnerable groups. They commit war crimes and crimes against humanity with impunity. The brutality of those groups offends our common humanity and demands that the international community take decisive action to neutralize them. In recent times, terrorist groups have also developed a penchant for acquiring property and territory.”

“The lack of progress in the Middle East peace process is one of the drivers of instability in that region. The current stalemate does not offer a sustainable solution to the question of Palestine. What is required is political will on the part of Israeli and Palestinian leaders to return to negotiations on the basis of the relevant Security Council resolutions, the Madrid principles, the Quartet road map, the Arab Peace Initiative and existing agreements between them. That is the only path to a sustainable and peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We take this opportunity to reaffirm our unwavering support for a two-State solution, with Israel and Palestine existing side by side in peace and security.”

“I thank you, Mr. President, and the delegation of the Russian Federation for organizing this debate on a subject of remarkable significance for international peace and security. This debate is propitious, and the unprecedented presence of so many Ministers in this forum serves to accentuate the global determination for concerted action. Today's debate is taking place against the backdrop of conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa that pose a great threat to the peace and security of the entire region and beyond. Those conflicts have been compounded by the activities of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Al-Qaida and other terrorist groups operating across the region. Of all the conflicts in the Middle East, the most protracted is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

“We express our condolences to the families of security officers killed in the course of counter-narcotic operations. Concerted national, regional and international action will be essential in order to sustain the war on drugs in Afghanistan. While significant progress has been made in Afghanistan 4 across a broad spectrum of sectors 4 we admit that considerable challenges still exist. It is our expectation that the work of the Tripartite Commission will enhance the ability of the United Nations to help Afghanistan to meet those challenges. We pay special tribute to Special Representative of the Secretary- General Haysom, the UNAMA staff and Afghanistan's development partners for their dedication and commitment to placing the country on a sure path to peace, reconciliation and development.”

“That includes resupplying or reinforcing armed forces units in those areas. It is important that those challenges be urgently addressed in order to close the gaps that insurgents could use to establish a foothold, and thereby destabilize the country. On counter-narcotics, we welcome the launch of the Afghanistan Drug Reporting System, aimed at providing access to data on key counter-narcotics indicators in Afghanistan. It is our expectation that that will significantly aid the war on drugs in that country. We commend the efforts of the Afghan authorities in the eradication of opium poppy in the country. The 40 per cent increase in eradication between 2014 and 2015 underscores the progress that has been made in that important counter-narcotic effort.”

“Electoral reforms that enhance transparency and inclusive governance are vital to engendering a united and secure Afghanistan. On reconciliation, we applaud the initiatives launched by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) to promote dialogue at the provincial level in Afghanistan. Local reconciliation efforts constitute a vital building block for reconciliation at the national level. Therefore we urge the people of Afghanistan to embrace those initiatives. Concerning security, we commend the Afghan National Security Forces for their success against insurgents operating in various parts of the country. The fact that they have prevented insurgents from holding any provincial capital attests to their capability to defend the territorial integrity of the country. We note that challenges remain in securing rural areas.”

“The appointment of Cabinet members and other officials, including four women, to ministerial positions vividly demonstrates a determination and commitment to implementing crucial reforms, including the empowerment of women and the advancement of their rights. We welcome the Government's commitment to transparency and accountability. We believe that is vital to promoting good governance in Afghanistan. The re-establishment of the Electoral Reform Commission in July, designed to address fundamental issues of governance, as stated in the political agreement of 21 September 2014, is a notable development. We commend the Commission for its engagement with a broad range of stakeholders, including civil society. Progress in electoral reform is crucial to the solid establishment of democracy in Afghanistan.”

The Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan, Mr. Nicholas Haysom, and Mr. Yuri Fedotov, Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, have provided us with profound insights into the situation in Afghanistan, and we are greatly in their debt. Ambassador Tanin has distinguished himself in the service of his country. We pray that his superlative performance will also be manifest in his new responsibility. Afghanistan continues to make steady and striking progress under the reform agenda of President Ghani.”

“Quite unexpectedly, it has been a very busy month - and one during which we all rallied to consensus on several issues within our purview. We could not have done it alone. Thanks to God, we were not isolated. Without the hard work, support and positive contributions of every delegation and of the representatives of the Secretariat, as well as other relevant Conference Services Officers, it would have been difficult. As we end our presidency at midnight, I know that I speak on behalf of the Council in wishing the delegation of the Russian Federation every good fortune as it assumes the presidency during the month of September.

“Let us together treat the symptoms as well as the causes. We tend to treat symptoms rather than causes. We must address the root causes ofconflict. I would like to end where I began, by offering the wisdom of Shakespeare. On the matter of unity in dealing with political situations, in Act I, Scene i, Shakespeare said in Henry VI, Part 1], "Join we together, for the public good". I now resume my functions as President of the Council. Before I adjourn the meeting, as this is the last scheduled meeting of the Council for the month of August - I hope - I would like to express the sincere appreciation of the delegation of Nigeria to the members of the Council, especially my colleagues the Permanent Representatives and their respective staffs, as well as to the entire secretariat of the Council, for all the support they have offered to us.”

“My experience is that we tend to employ a fire-fighting approach to conflicts. Is it not possible for the Council to develop theoretical perspectives, or, indeed, a context in which we can all place those patterns of conflict, and thus provide the best opportunity for strategic solutions? Is that possible? Even more significant, I would like to urge the Council to firmly establish what I have often referred to as the cause-and-effect relationship between the dire humanitarian situations that we confront in areas of conflict and the political process. Yes, we are right - Mr. O'Brien has briefed us many times in the Council this month - about our feeling of urgency on humanitarian issues. But if we continue to diverge on what gives effect to a humanitarian situation, I believe we cannot succeed.”

“The briefing by the Secretary-General on 13 August on the allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse perpetrated by peacekeeping personnel in that country was quite sobering. The Council's response underscored the imperative for the highest standards of conduct to be upheld in United Nations peacekeeping operations. We must remain steadfast in our support of the Secretary- General as he investigates those allegations. We count on the relevant troop- and police-contributing countries to offer the needed support in this investigative process. As we reflect on the trouble spots across Africa, the Middle East and Asia, and particularly Burma, as we did on Friday, it is clear that nation-building is greatly impeded by sectionalism and ethnicity. The lack of inclusiveness often breeds dissent and conflict.”

The overarching principle of our thematic debates during the past month underscored the imperative of collective action in the maintenance of international peace and security. States must collaborate with regions, which in turn must collaborate with the United Nations. Nigeria is greatly concerned about recent occurrences that have been revealed in the context of United Nations peacekeeping operations in the Central African Republic, in particular the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic.”

“The discussion on regional organizations underscored the importance of utilizing the comparative advantages of the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations in the maintenance of international peace and security. Regional organizations have demonstrated their relevance through preventive diplomacy, mediation and other collaborative efforts. Specialist regional knowledge, which is invaluable in conflict resolution, can be provided by regional organizations by virtue of their in-depth knowledge of regional actors and their sensitivities to local, historical and cultural factors. As strategies for placing more emphasis on the role of regional and subregional organizations evolve, it is important to periodically assess our options so as to give a more central role to those entities.”

“As the world tries to bring the rate of Ebola virus transmission to zero, the international community must remain vigilant and ensure sustained technical, operational and financial support to the affected countries. On security sector reform (see S/PV.7508), Council delegations affirmed that the successful implementation of resolution 2151 (2014) would ultimately depend on improved coordination of efforts within the United Nations system and between the United Nations and the relevant stakeholders. States have the primary responsibility for their own security within their borders. They must therefore endeavour to provide the political leverage needed to facilitate the required external support in meeting specific SSR targets.”

In the words of Margaret Chan, Director- General of the World Health Organization, the "world has learned from the Ebola experience." (S/PV. 7502, p. 3) It is our hope that we will use what we have learned to collectively improve our response to future outbreaks of pandemics.

“In July, the Council presidency of New Zealand was as innovative as it was bold. New Zealand built a foundation for the discussion of issues that are not so commonplace on the agenda of the Council. We thank them for providing valid points of departure. During our presidency, we have sought to focus attention on three key issues that we considered not only of contemporary significance, but also especially interlocking and interdependent. We convened a briefing that took up the international response to the Ebola outbreak (see S/PV.7502); another briefing aimed at giving practical effect to resolution 2151 (2014), the first stand-alone resolution on security sector reform (SSR) (see S/PV.7508); and an open debate on the role of regional and subregional organizations in addressing contemporary security challenges (see S/PV.7505).”
