  1. “In addition to all the crises in the region, we are witnessing a crisis of rising food and energy prices, which has been fuelled by the Russian illegal and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine. That has prevented the export of grain and other essential food staples, causing price hikes that hit Africa particularly hard. In that context, we welcome the United Nations- and Türkiye-brokered Black Sea Grain Initiative. In conclusion, let me reaffirm Slovakia’s continuous commitment to the Secretary-General’s leadership in this domain, including the Action for Peacekeeping Plus initiative, which provides a framework for our response and a road map for our collective efforts.”

  2. “Among many invaluable insights, it has provided us with the possibility of a fresh and bold new vision on SSR and governance that considers a number of important existing global agendas, such as Our Common Agenda (A/75/982), women and peace and security, youth, peace and security and sustainable development, recognizes impact areas and highlights important priorities for collective action. Interestingly, as one of its four priorities, the report points to the role of SSR not only in sustaining peace, but also in facilitating sustainable development. It also offers a crucial observation of the interlinkage of the SSR and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and views them as mutually reinforcing frameworks. Those notions serve as yet further complementary proof of the invaluable nature of an effective SSR process.”

  3. “It is clear that, in the current security environment, the United Nations can no longer rely solely on traditional methods to counter emerging threats and challenges. We need to continue being innovative, adjust and remain flexible. We need to step up to new challenges before so-called spoilers disrupt delicate peace processes. Following the adoption of resolution 2553 (2020), it is now widely acknowledged that reform of the security sector, particularly in conflict-affected societies, creates an environment conducive to political and socioeconomic growth. In that context, I would like to applaud the Secretary-General’s new, ambitious report on “Strengthening security sector reform”.”

  4. “National ownership, however, which is regarded as an overarching guiding principle of the SSR process, is directly linked to effective capacity-building and training. Such elements play a crucial role in building resilient institutions, which are fundamental pillars of peaceful societies and are key to the withstanding of future global shocks. People-centred SSR can further engender legitimacy by creating trust between communities and newly established or strengthened democratic institutions, thereby contributing to the conditions necessary for sustainable peace. As previously mentioned, Slovakia affirms that SSR should incorporate the principles of good governance, the professional, effective management of public resources, the rule of law and respect for human rights.”

  5. “In addition, SSR is directly linked to the protection of civilians and the rule of law — two critical tasks that have become an integral part of almost every peace operation. Slovakia underscores the importance of women’s and young people’s equal and effective participation and full involvement in all stages of the SSR process. Gender-sensitive SSR is therefore key to developing security sector institutions that are non-discriminatory, representative of the population and capable of effectively responding to the specific security needs of diverse groups. International support for SSR processes must be coherent and be aligned with the actual needs and priorities of the country concerned, context-specific and adjusted to local needs and realities.”

  6. “Direct experience from many United Nations and African Union (AU) peace missions and operations clearly shows that a nationally led and inclusive security sector reform process can progressively deal with the root causes of insecurity and fragility and create an enabling environment for sustainable development and peace to take place. In our capacity as co-Chair of the Group of Friends of Security Sector Reform, we are proud to recall the successful realization of the two events, in 2014 and 2018, respectively, focused on the AU policy framework for the security sector reform in the context of the United Nations. Under the auspices of the United Nations, the AU, the European Union and Slovakia, those events provided a much-needed platform to frame the discussion on different aspects of policy frameworks towards SSR processes.”

  7. “Mr. Prvý (Slovakia): Let me thank you, Mr. President, for convening a discussion on this subject. I would also like to thank the briefers for their insightful remarks. We welcome this discussion and take note of its great urgency. Sustaining peace means breaking the vicious cycle of violent conflict and preventing conflict while building peace. We believe that sustaining peace in Africa is a challenge that needs to be addressed in a holistic way. For many years now, Slovakia has identified security sector reform as one of the key elements for effective conflict prevention and successful post-conflict rebuilding and stabilization.”
