  1. “Regarding the implementation of resolution 2642 (2022), we welcome the continued efforts to expand cross-line deliveries, which have become more predictable, benefiting a greater number of people. We also take note of the various early-recovery projects under way. However, given the food crisis, the cholera epidemic and winter needs, it is clear that we must have a channel for the distribution of humanitarian aid. It is therefore vital that the Council renew the authorization of the Bab Al-Hawa cross-border mechanism. Resolution 2254 (2015), adopted unanimously by the Council, is the road map to guide the political process towards sustainable peace. We renew our call for all parties to commit to its implementation and to avoid any unilateral action that contributes to prolonging the suffering of the Syrian people.”

  2. “As we heard, the civilian population in various regions of Syria continues to lack access to basic services and lives in precarious conditions, which particularly impacts vulnerable groups, including children. Again this month, several densely populated areas, including displaced persons camps in Idlib, have come under attack. We again condemn the violence in Al-Hol camp, in particular the killing of two girls this month. We reiterate our call for the countries of origin of the foreigners in that camp to take the necessary steps for their repatriation. Mexico considers that the demands for justice and accountability for arbitrary detentions, forced disappearances and human rights violations must be met in order to open the way to reconciliation in Syria.”

  3. “Economic reconstruction, the safe and voluntary return of refugees and the fight against terrorism are complex issues that can be resolved only with the political will of the parties. In that regard, we insist that any action in the fight against terrorism must comply with international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law. Once again, we express our alarm at the abuse of invocations of Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, which are supposedly justified in the name of the fight against terrorism. We call for full respect for Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as the Secretary-General has underscored. There is an urgent need to put an end to hostilities, which aggravate the humanitarian situation.”

  4. “Mr. Ríos Sánchez (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): I thank Special Envoy Geir Pedersen and Under- Secretary-General Martin Griffiths for their briefings. I also welcome the presence of the delegations of Syria, Iran and Türkiye. Mexico has taken note with great concern of the report of the Special Envoy, to whom we reiterate our full support. The increase in violence in the north- east and north-west of Syria is cause for alarm. We also acknowledge the consultations he held with key international partners in recent weeks, including in the Astana format, as well as his meetings with civil society, in particular with the Syrian Women’s Advisory Board. As the Special Envoy mentioned, we once again highlight the need to resume the work of the Constitutional Committee, which has not met for six months.”

  5. “For all the foregoing reasons, I would conclude by affirming the importance of the renewal of UNSMIL’s mandate and the constructive participation of my delegation in the corresponding negotiations.”

  6. “The deployment of advisers is part of the recommendations emanating from the independent strategic review of the Mission that my country supports and considers relevant. Thirdly, I wish to emphasize the urgency of providing an effective response to the situation of migrants. It is unacceptable that year after year there are repeated images of shipwrecks and reports of such tragedies as the explosion that occurred at the Abu Rashada detention centre in the face of the international community’s inaction. Mexico calls on the countries of origin and destination to coordinate a strategy with the Libyan authorities that addresses the structural causes of the migratory phenomenon and guarantees the protection of the rights of migrants.”

  7. “However, half a million people in vulnerable situations still depend on the work of humanitarian organizations to be able to feed themselves or have access to housing, drinking water or health services, which are particularly necessary in the context of the coronavirus disease pandemic. We therefore reiterate our call to the Libyan authorities to facilitate the operations of humanitarian actors. Mexico expresses its concern, in particular, about the difficulties international non-governmental organizations have recently faced in obtaining the necessary visas for their personnel. In addition, Mexico renews its request to UNSMIL for the rapid deployment of protection advisers for women and children. There is an urgent need to strengthen the Mission’s capacity to address the needs of these two particularly vulnerable groups.”

  8. “The Security Council should provide full support to the Libyan authorities through UNSMIL to fully meet the objectives agreed in Tunis, including the equal, full and meaningful participation of women in the political process, in conditions of security. Secondly, Mexico recognizes that, thanks to the ceasefire agreement, humanitarian needs have been reduced. We highlight, for example, that the number of internally displaced persons was reduced by approximately 180,000 people from November 2020 to July 2021. This is undoubtedly one of the most important dividends of the peace process.”

  9. “We welcome the progress made in the negotiation of the legal basis and the allocation of a budget to organize the elections, while we call on the 5+5 Joint Military Commission to agree on a security operation that allows for the mobilization of voters throughout Libyan territory. In that regard, Mexico calls for the timely deployment of the ceasefire monitoring mechanism, including the United Nations component authorized by the Security Council. Similarly, the widespread availability of weapons and the presence of foreign fighters and mercenaries pose a clear risk to the electoral process. With regard to the latter, we insist once again on their prompt and coordinated departure from Libya.”

  10. “In accordance with the road map of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum, it is more urgent than ever that the legal basis for organizing the 24 December elections be adopted swiftly. The support of the international community for the reconciliation process is also necessary, but always bearing in mind that it is solely up to Libyan citizens to decide on the future of their country. In that context, I would like to draw the attention of the Security Council to three points. First, Mexico believes that, given the upcoming date for the parliamentary and presidential elections, the efforts of UNSMIL should be focused on building bridges among the different political groups to achieve an inclusive, free and credible electoral process.”

  11. “Mr. Ríos Sánchez (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): I thank Special Representative Kubiš for his briefing on the fragile situation in Libya, and I acknowledge the hard work that he has done at the helm of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). I also would like to express appreciation for the briefings by Ambassador Tirumurti, as Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011), concerning Libya, and of Ms. Asma Khalifa. I also recognize the presence of the representative of Libya. Having listened to the briefers, it is crucial that Libyan political actors act responsibly, consolidate the achievements made in bringing about peace in the country and make progress in unifying State institutions.”
