  1. “Ultimately, we are convinced that sounds SSR policies and practices will assist in promoting regional and continental peace and security for all Africa.”

  2. “A State's political environment must be considered when planning SSR initiatives to ensure that the milieu is conducive to reform and that efforts to support the Government and civil society will have an opportunity to succeed. (spoke in English) Finally, Canada welcomes the call for an assessment of United Nations SSR support, including the efforts being made in Africa. The assessment should specifically examine opportunities to strengthen United Nations inter-agency coordination, including the donor coordination role of the various agencies. In addition, we believe that it should examine ways to increase United Nations SSR capacity, both at Headquarters and in regional offices. In conclusion, we strongly encourage ongoing Security Council discussions concerning security sector reform capabilities.”

  3. “For example, as a member and Chair of a Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) configuration, Canada notes that security and related justice reform is a priority in all six of the countries on the Commission's agenda. The PBC is developing valuable experience on the ground that can be drawn upon to help inform Security Council mandate development and United Nations system transition planning. Canada therefore concurs that assistance from international donors must be anchored by national ownership and the commitment of all involved parties. In particular, it is imperative that the political will of the reforming State buttress those initiatives.”

  4. “Additionally, Canada supports strengthening the ability of the United Nations to coherently implement SSR activities across different programmes and funds. We support an in-house capacity-building initiative through the United Nations SSR Inter-Agency Task Force. That initiative is meant to assist members of the Task Force in such areas as training and technical support in the field and through the development of technical guidance notes. As a donor, Canada supports better whole-of-system coherence, in particular by working through and coordinating with the United Nations SSR Task Force. (spoke in French) Canada concurs that the Security Council should emphasize ongoing inclusion, wherever appropriate, of security sector reform in the future planning of United Nations operations in Africa.”

  5. “Canada actively contributes to initiatives within the United Nations and has extensive experience in assisting States in their efforts to reform their security systems. Our assistance is a multifaceted, whole-of- government effort. We have engaged in activities through project financing, policy development and the deployment of personnel, including experts and advisers, working in such areas as governance, justice, policing, border management, corrections and the military. We currently contribute to related fields in several of the United Nations African missions, including the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the United Nations Mission in South Sudan.”

  6. “Canada would like to thank the Nigerian presidency of the Security Council for providing this opportunity to discuss security sector reform (SSR) in the context of the African continent. For Canada, SSR is a process through which a country seeks to establish effective, accountable and representative security institutions that carry out their legitimate functions in a manner consistent with democratic norms and sound governance principles. A number of countries on the African continent continue to face forms of insecurity that damage the lives of their people. SSR is an important lens through which African States can develop strategies to transform their security sectors. On this note, allow me to make a few brief comments.”
