  1. These efforts must be based on strict respect for the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of neighbouring countries and in a renewed agreement not to tolerate or lend assistance or support of any kind to armed groups operating in the region, nor to shelter or protect any person accused of serious crimes, and to cooperate with the International Criminal Court in arresting people accused of these crimes where appropriate so that impunity does not prevail, so as to put an end to the very serious humanitarian situation and ensure the protection of civilians and the strict respect for human rights of all people without distinction.

  3. In this context, Uruguay wishes to thank the Secretary-General for his efforts during his recent visit to Burundi, which followed the visit made by the members of the Security Council, hoping that President Pierre Nkurunziza will honour his commitments and allow the development of a transparent and inclusive process of dialogue for the parties involved. For Uruguay, of particular concern are the possible repercussions that the situation in Burundi may have at the regional level and for the tension that has arisen between the Government of Burundi and Rwanda. In this regard, we urge the Governments of both countries to resolve their differences through dialogue because the revitalization of their good-neighbourly relations and spirit of cooperation will help to ensure that peace and stability take substantial root.

  4. In that context, Uruguay would like to express its support for the work that is being done by African Union facilitator, former Prime Minister of Togo, Mr. Edem Kodjo, with a view to supporting a transparent and inclusive dialogue between all political actors. It is crucial that the authorities ensure respect for human rights and avoid outbreaks of violence before, during and after the elections. Uruguay is concerned about the current political situation in Burundi and the growing human rights violations committed within its territory and expects the parties to reach a peaceful and negotiated resolution to the conflict. It also believes that the thousands of refugees from Burundi who have been displaced to neighbouring countries should be a matter of concern and priority for the international community.

  5. With regard to MONUSCO, Uruguay wishes to express its satisfaction with the recent agreement signed between the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and MONUSCO, in order to resume cooperation between the Mission and the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and, convinced that strengthening cooperation between the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the United Nations is essential to fulfilling the mandate of the Mission, hopes that the agreement will be fully implemented. Similarly, Uruguay is closely monitoring the evolution of the political process and is looking forward to democratic elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo taking place in a transparent and inclusive manner.

  6. Our country has a long- standing commitment to the Great Lakes region, which is especially reflected in our commitment to the stability and pacification of the Democratic Republic of the Congo through our contribution of troops to the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO). We agree with what was said a few minutes ago in this Chamber with respect to the importance of the peacekeeping operations in the Great Lakes region and their continuity. We also agree, in particular, in the light of the threats to the ongoing peacekeeping operations as a result of unilateral actions that have been developed in certain contexts during the last few days.

  7. At this stage in the debate, many of my remarks have already been said by speakers that preceded me, so I will deliver a shortened version. My country joins others that have expressed their satisfaction at positive developments in various elements the Great Lakes region, in particular those due to the intense effort carried out by the Peace and Security Council of the African Union and the excellent level of work and partnership with the United Nations in this entire matter. We also emphasize, as other delegations have, the fundamental importance that we attach to development and the protection of human rights and peace and security in the area, and we stress the need to address the structural causes underpinning all the conflicts in the area.
