  1. “We once again stress the importance of ensuring the security and safety of the Mission and all of its personnel, international and national. We look forward to the upcoming report of the Secretary- General on strategic and operational recommendations for the mandate of UNAMA. We reiterate our call on all relevant parties in Afghanistan to fully cooperate and create favourable conditions for the United Nations and UNAMA to carry out their mandate for the benefit of the people of Afghanistan and development of the country.”

  2. “It is extremely alarming that more than 20 million people, over half of the country’s population, are facing crisis levels of food insecurity, as Special Representative Lyons has just described. Immediate, safe and unhindered humanitarian access must be ensured to reach the Afghan people in need. Furthermore, we call on the United Nations regional and international partners to redouble their efforts in supporting peace and reconstruction in Afghanistan in order to save the country’s economy from the brink of collapse. It is also heartening to note the continued efforts of various partners to provide humanitarian assistance over the past few months. Fourthly, we commend the efforts of UNAMA at this critical time.”

  3. “The normal operations of indispensable infrastructure and essential services for the civilian population, particularly vulnerable groups such as women, children and persons with disabilities, must be ensured. The safety, security and working conditions of United Nations personnel, humanitarian workers, foreign nationals, international organizations and diplomatic missions must continue to be guaranteed. Thirdly, further efforts are needed to tackle the increasing challenges related to the humanitarian and economic situation, food insecurity, migrants and refugees and the coronavirus disease pandemic. The current economic situation in Afghanistan is facing tremendous challenges.”

  4. “Today I wish to highlight the following points. First, it is imperative to promote an inclusive political settlement with the full, strong and meaningful participation of women to ensure the stability, unity and development of the country. We urge all relevant parties in Afghanistan to continue to engage in dialogue, resolve their differences and promote national reconciliation and harmony. We also call for the active participation of women and young people in all aspects of society, particularly in education and employment. Secondly, it is critical to ensure order and security in the country, as well as the safety, security and well-being of all people in Afghanistan. All relevant parties must continue to respect their obligations under international law, including humanitarian law.”

  5. “I thank Special Representative Lyons for her comprehensive and substantive briefing. I highly commend the efforts — especially those that have been made over the past three months — of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and other United Nations personnel on the ground. I also thank Ms. Freshta Karim for sharing her thoughts and stories. Viet Nam continues to closely follow the developments in Afghanistan. We strongly condemn the continued terrorist attacks in Afghanistan in recent weeks and express our deepest condolences to the families of the victims. It is our sincere hope that the situation in the country will soon stabilize, for the benefit of the Afghan people and for peace and stability in the region, particularly in the neighbouring countries.”

  6. “It is through the well-being of those communities that the value of peace and reintegration is proved and maintained. In conclusion, we would like to reiterate our strong support for the process of peace, security, national reconciliation, unity and development in Colombia, as well as the role of the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia to that end.”

  7. “Thirdly, we are once again concerned about violence and the continued killings of social leaders and former combatants. At the same time, we also condemn the unacceptable recent attack on 25 June against a helicopter with the President of Colombia on board. We condemn all those forms of violence and attacks and urge all the groups concerned to stop those appalling acts immediately. The perpetrators must be brought to justice. We call on the relevant parties to implement necessary measures and make full use of the security guarantee mechanisms elaborated in the peace agreement to protect civilians in the conflict-affected areas, especially women and children. In that regard, it is also important to redouble efforts in ensuring security and bringing development to conflict-affected communities through practical measures.”

  8. “Secondly, we share the concerns expressed in the latest report of the Secretary-General (S/2021/603) on the implementation of the Final Agreement for Ending the Conflict and Building a Stable and Lasting Peace and the peace-related programmes in Colombia, especially the nationwide demonstrations and associated violence. We look forward to continued efforts by the Government, national political parties and other relevant stakeholders in implementing all the measures needed to address the root causes of instability, including the challenges of the coronavirus disease pandemic and inequality, security and economic issues. We also support the commitments made by the Government and its partners in addressing the special needs and roles of women, children and youth in that process.”

  9. “We hope to see the National Reintegration Council, together with the United Nations and regional and international organizations, play a more active role in supporting the financial mechanisms and recommending appropriate initiatives to assist former combatants in stabilizing their lives. We call on all the relevant parties to continue engaging in constructive dialogue at political and technical levels, especially through the mechanisms provided by the agreement, with a view to bringing about reconciliation, solidarity and progress for all. While efforts aimed at reintegration are highly appreciated, it is also important to note that this process will be a long-term one requiring patience as well as practical steps.”

  10. “Against that background, we would like to stress the following points. First, the political will and determination of all the parties concerned in conducting the next steps of the Final Peace Agreement are extremely important for Colombia on the way forward. In that regard, we commend the decision by the Government of Colombia and the Comunes party to conduct a joint assessment of the road map to support the participation of former combatants in the reintegration process. We also acknowledge other commitments of the Government to advance the reintegration process, including the provision of protection and security for former combatants.”

  11. “First of all, we would like to warmly welcome Her Excellency Ms. Ramírez, Vice-President and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Colombia, to today’s meeting. We thank Special Representative of the Secretary- General Ruiz Massieu and Ms. Herrera for their informative briefings. It is encouraging to witness positive and remarkable progress in Colombia since the conclusion in 2016 of the Final Agreement for Ending the Conflict and Building a Stable and Lasting Peace. The Government has made great efforts in promoting socioeconomic developments, including a comprehensive rural reform. The reintegration process has also been expanded at all levels. However, we remain concerned about the fact that the terms of the Agreement have not been fully implemented. As a result, like other processes, reintegration still faces multiple challenges.”

  12. “Secondly, unity — including that of the Council — on this matter is of paramount importance. It is regrettable that there is disagreement among parties on the Syrian chemical weapons file. We are of the view that it is essential to ensure engagement and promote dialogue among relevant stakeholders. More importantly, we need to ensure a constructive, impartial and non-politicized approach to pave the way for further developments.”

  13. “Viet Nam takes note that, during the last reporting period, there was continued engagement between the OPCW Technical Secretariat and Syria. We also note the further steps taken by the Syrian Government in addressing the outstanding issues relating to its initial declaration. Those include further information regarding 8 of the 22 outstanding issues, including amendments to Syria’s initial declaration, as well as current deployment of the Declaration Assessment Team in Syria. The initial declaration is one important step in the implementation of the CWC. It has an important bearing on and is an area for cooperation between a State party and the OPCW. We therefore call on the Syrian National Authority and the OPCW Technical Secretariat to continue to make further meaningful steps to enhance their cooperation.”

  14. “In doing so, the OPCW and all of its relevant mechanisms must strictly abide by the Convention. Investigations into any possible use of chemical weapons are to establish facts, determine possible violations and deter future ones. To achieve those goals, investigations need to be comprehensive, objective, impartial and non-politicized so that conclusive and incontestable facts can be established. With regard to the issue of chemical weapons in Syria, we would like to stress the following points. First and foremost, further cooperation between the OPCW and Syria should be a matter of priority. While there has been continued cooperation between the OPCW Technical Secretariat and the relevant Syrian authorities since 2013, substantial progress is still needed to solve all outstanding issues.”

  15. “At the outset, I would like to thank Under-Secretary-General Nakamitsu for her briefing. Let me first start by reiterating my delegation’s categorical condemnation of the use of chemical weapons in any form, by anyone, anywhere, under any circumstance or for any reason. The use of such weapons is undoubtedly a flagrant violation of international law and an unacceptable threat to the life and living environment of innocent civilians. Viet Nam believes that, as State parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), we all share the same goal and bear the same responsibility to fully implement the Convention. We would therefore like to reiterate our support for the work of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in assisting State parties to fully implement the Convention.”
