8. “On our initiative, the Security Council recently sanctioned Abdoulaye Miskine, an armed group leader; it must continue to sanction those who deliberately hinder the return of peace. I would like to welcome the progress made in the preparation of the 2020-2021 presidential and legislative elections. The elections must be held in a peaceful, inclusive and transparent manner and according to constitutional deadlines. In that context, France calls on all actors in the Central African Republic to engage in an inclusive dialogue on all questions related to the holding of the elections. France also cautions against attempts to destabilize the country’s institutions and against disinformation campaigns. Lastly, France calls on the partners of the Central African Republic to contribute without delay to the funding of the elections.”

9. “I am thinking, for example, about the continued deployment of the special joint security units, the effective creation of the Commission on Truth, Justice, Reparation and Reconciliation and the implementation of the decentralization process. However, France remains very concerned by the violations of the peace agreement committed by some armed groups, in particular attacks against civilians, humanitarian personnel and security forces, grave violations against children, sexual violence and unilateral declarations of withdrawal from the agreement. Our message must be clear: those who engage in such acts must be brought to justice and the measures provided for in article 35 of the agreement must be implemented.”

France also welcomes the efforts made by the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) to continue delivering on its mandate, and I take this opportunity to reiterate our full support for the Special Representative, Mankeur Ndiaye. Secondly, I would like to welcome the progress made in the implementation of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic. The implementation of the agreement must continue, under the leadership of President Touadera and his Government, because it remains the only path to lasting peace in the country.”

11. “I would like to thank our briefers for their presentations and to welcome the participation of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Central African Republic and express to her our condolences following the terrible attack that just took place in her country. I would like to highlight three points. First, I would like to express France’s solidarity with the Government and the people of the Central African Republic in the face of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and its humanitarian and socioeconomic consequences. In that context, France has strengthened its bilateral support to the Central African Republic in the health sector and underlines that humanitarian access must remain a priority.”

18. “Refugees and displaced persons are particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus disease pandemic, which has led to the suspension of asylum procedures in many countries, an accelerated rate of return even if conditions for return are not met and increased stigmatization. Refugees are also highly exposed to the socioeconomic impact of this crisis. We must be vigilant and integrate refugees and displaced persons into national and international pandemic response strategies. It is up to the Security Council to create conditions conducive to reaching lasting solutions to crises. Insecurity and massive violations of human rights are the primary causes of displacement. In Syria, Venezuela, Libya and Myanmar, only a political solution can lead to long-term stability and address the challenges arising from population displacement.”

19. “It is the responsibility of States to protect, on their territory, foreign nationals who have fled their country due to persecution. Only a collective global approach will allow us to improve the overall treatment of refugees, lead to a better management of migration flows and fight effectively against migrant smuggling and human trafficking. That is why the implementation of the global compact on refugees is a priority. France is actively working towards the implementation of the commitments it undertook at the Global Refugee Forum, in particular regarding the issue of resettlement, with 10,000 places for 2020-2021, legal cooperation and the inclusion of climate and environmental criteria in its humanitarian strategy. We call on all States to step up their efforts.”

20. “First of all, I would like to pay tribute to the personnel of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees for their outstanding efforts to protect refugees and defend their rights. France’s commitment to unconditional respect for the right to asylum is well known. As the High Commissioner reminded us, the number of people forced into exile or to become refugees has never been so high. I am thinking in particular of the Sahel, notably Burkina Faso, where the number of internally displaced persons has more than quadrupled in less than a year. The sharing of responsibilities in a spirit of solidarity must be the guiding principle of our action. Hosting refugees is not only an international obligation but also a moral duty.”

23. “Because it is the only way to bring back stability, I call on the Special Envoy to work on a political process that encompasses all elements of resolution 2254 (2015): the implementation of confidence-building measures to create a secure and neutral environment, and preparations for free and fair elections under United Nations supervision in which the Syrian diaspora participates. Elections that do not meet the criteria set out in resolution 2254 (2015) can in no way be recognized as legitimate by the Council. Finally, as long as a credible political process is not firmly under way, France and the European Union will not finance reconstruction in Syria.”

24. “In both the north-west and north-east, humanitarian aid must reach people in need. In that context, the cross- border mechanism remains irreplaceable. France will continue, along with its partners, to combat the resurgence of Da’esh in the centre of the country. Finally, the instability and serious economic crisis in Syria underscores the urgency of finding a political solution. The economic crisis in Syria is the result of chronic corruption and of the regime’s refusal to compromise. The European sanctions are focused on individuals and entities that participate in the repression and profit from the war economy. Sanctions also have mechanisms to safeguard humanitarian access. The European Union is among the main contributors of humanitarian assistance, including in the regime-controlled areas.”

25. “After months of obstruction, for which the regime bears sole responsibility, it is urgent that discussions with the Special Envoy resume to prepare for a meeting in Geneva as soon as possible. The regime’s repression of protests in the south of the country in recent weeks also clearly shows that it continues to propose repressive solutions to political problems. In the face of instability and the coronavirus disease, the priority must be to establish a comprehensive nationwide ceasefire under United Nations supervision, in response to the appeal made by the Secretary-General and his Special Envoy. In the north-west, the Russian-Turkish truce agreement remains fragile. The fight against terrorist groups cannot justify the resumption of an offensive by the regime and its allies or violations of international law.”

26. “I would like to thank Mr. Pedersen and Ms. Ghazi for their presentations. More than 100,000 people in Syria today are imprisoned in the regime’s jails. The latest amnesty announced by the regime cannot be taken seriously. The lack of progress on the issue of the disappeared persons also remains one of the main sources of suffering for the Syrian people. The Council must unite in response to the Special Envoy’s call to release prisoners and facilitate access to detention centres. It is urgent to move beyond the current prisoner-exchange logic. The time has come to work on a broader political process that meets the expectations of Syrian civil society. The paralysis in the work of the Constitutional Committee eight months after its creation is appalling.”

In that context, France is expected to contribute €4.5 million to the fight against COVID-19 in Africa. It is necessary to pursue concerted and cohesive action under the auspices of the United Nations. We must do more.

On 8 and 9 June, the French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Mr. Jean-Yves Le Drian, his Belgian counterpart and the European Commissioner for Crisis Management visited the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the occasion of the first flight of the air bridge, which is expected to carry nearly 40 tons of cargo and more than 100 humanitarian workers.”

32. “As several countries prepare to go to the polls, we must be fully aware of the risk of both political and security destabilization. The support of international partners is critical if we are to help Central African countries to contain those threats. Following up on the call to action for Africa, launched on 15 April by President Macron and several African and European leaders, France has pledged €1.2 billion to support Africa in the fight against COVID-19. It has also launched an initiative within the Group of 20 and the Paris Club for a moratorium on debt servicing for countries affected by the pandemic. In Central Africa, Chad, the Republic of Congo and Cameroon have benefited from that measure.”

33. “Central Africa has made some progress, but remains a fragile region with many political, security, humanitarian and human rights challenges. The very volatile situation in the Central African Republic is a case in point. The Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic is being challenged by armed groups, and the pre-election period is fuelling political tensions. The Lake Chad basin faces the persistent threat of Boko Haram and despite commendable initiatives by countries in the region, the Gulf of Guinea remains the global epicentre of piracy. The situation is all the more precarious since the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has not spared the region and is likely to have a significant socioeconomic impact.”
