1. “The Secretariat's still unfinished strategy for improving peacekeeping efficiency, the Integrated Performance Policy Framework, which is mentioned in the resolution, is one of those issues, and in our view circumventing the Special Committee is completely unacceptable. Lastly, we categorically reject the working methods of the penholders, who once again abused their prerogatives and refused to take into account the justifiable concerns oftheir Council colleagues, thereby preventing the Council from reaching consensus.”

2. “In our view this sends the wrong message both to the parties in South Sudan and the leading regional Powers that put such enormous effort into reaching the Agreement. We are concerned about the fact that a document that is supposed to outline the peacekeeping mandate clearly and succinctly is overloaded with text on gender issues and human rights. Incidentally, in its list of mandates the resolution cites the latter task ahead of support for the implementation of the peace Agreement. We would like to remind the Council that general peacebuilding issues that affect all United Nations peacekeeping missions have to be discussed in the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations with the participation of the troop-contributing countries.”

3. “Significant progress has been made in implementing the Agreement since it was concluded, and the structures and mechanisms it envisages have been set up and begun operating. The level of violence and the number of cases of human rights violations in South Sudan have also fallen significantly since the signing. An increasing number of refugees and internally displaced persons have expressed the desire to return to their permanent homes. Opposition politicians are already returned to the capital and have freedom of movement there. In that connection, we are disappointed by our colleagues' obstinate reluctance to welcome the Khartoum agreements, which have already essentially shown themselves to be viable.”

4. “Mr. Polyanskiy (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): The Russian delegation abstained in the voting on resolution 2459 (2019), on the extension of the mandate ofthe United Nations Mission in South Sudan. However, we want to emphasize that we fully support the activities of the Blue Helmets deployed there, as they are significantly contributing to the country's stability. During the briefing in the Security Council just a week ago (see S/PV.8480), many who were present in the Chamber noted the significance of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan, signed in Khartoum in 2018. It is important that the parties in South Sudan showed a willingness to compromise and a desire to resolve their differences.”
