1. “In conclusion, the United Kingdom reiterates its unwavering support to the South Sudanese people’s quest for peace, prosperity and democracy. We call on their leaders to now deliver real change for their people.”

2. “Thirdly, the United Kingdom is deeply concerned about the continued reports of violence in South Sudan, including widespread sexual violence and violations and abuses of human rights. That includes the attacks on Mayom county and the subsequent extrajudicial killings of force commanders in Unity state. We welcome the formation of a special committee to investigate that matter, the findings of which must be acted on to ensure accountability. We also condemn the ongoing violence in Upper Nile state. We commend the efforts of UNMISS to protect civilians, while reiterating our calls on the Government to shoulder its responsibility to protect its citizens. We urge the Government of South Sudan to enable humanitarian access, address violence against humanitarian personnel and bring perpetrators to justice.”

3. “Like the United States and Norway, we regret that the Government did not postpone the ratification of the extension to enable greater consultation, which would have increased the confidence of South Sudan’s citizens in the process after years of inaction. Secondly, we urge the Government of South Sudan to dedicate sufficient resources to the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement. We welcome the recent graduation of the first tranche of the unified forces as an important first step towards creating an accountable and effective national force. But overall, progress on its implementation remains too slow. We therefore encourage the Government of South Sudan to be clearer on where it requires support, including from the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), to meet critical benchmarks.”

4. “We thank our briefers, Special Representative Haysom and Ms. Riziq. I would like to make three key points in response to what we have heard today. First, the United Kingdom remains committed to the 2018 Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan as the best means to deliver peace and stability in South Sudan. We acknowledge the recent vote by the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission to extend the transitional period. We now call on the Government of South Sudan to deliver on the commitments set out in its road map. That will require meaningful engagement with civil society.”
