1. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom warmly welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 2249 (2015). Today, we sent a clear, unambiguous message that there will be no respite in our collective efforts to stop, suppress and destroy the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Whether in the streets of Paris or Beirut or in the skies above the Sinai, ISIL's brutality knows no bounds and respects no borders. ISIL's determination to carry out attacks around the world must be met by our greater resolve to defeat them wherever we find them. Too many Security Council members here today, and too many other United Nations Member States, have experienced ISIL's callous disregard for life.”

4. “What levels of good offices are needed to support the parties' political commitment to the ceasefire so as to reduce the threat of violence against civilians? Engaging with the local community will also be vital - putting people at the centre of what we do and really thinking about what the United Nations Mission can do to deliver for those who live there. We should listen carefully to the local community about how it can support the work of the Mission. I look forward to continuing these discussions as we approach the mandate renewal for UNMISS in the coming weeks. Ifwe take these steps and more, I believe that we can make a tangible improvement in the work both of UNMISS and United Nations peacekeeping more broadly, and in doing so we can help improve the lives of the people of South Sudan and beyond.”

5. “Finally, the United Kingdom believes that we need more feedback and better analysis to improve our ability to protect civilians. To inform the phasing of the Mission, the Council needs to be provided with evidence of how the Mission is fulfilling its tasking and why there are shortfalls. This should include whether or not the current Mission configuration and military components are sufficient to deliver. All of this requires greater strategic analysis and planning at earlier stages by the Secretariat. We fully support the Secretary- General's proposal to enhance those capabilities and to engage with the Security Council at an earlier stage. We can put this into practice by thinking about what tools UNMISS needs to protect civilians better. What additional or different police or military capabilities are required?”

6. “We must use that voice to support the work of our missions across the globe, as well as the peace processes that we and others lead. We must make use of all tools at the Council's disposal to speak out when there are repeated violations of status-of-forces agreements. We also need to keep in mind the impact that our political messaging can have in preventing conflicts and in responding to situations of emerging conflict. This means using press statements, resolutions and Council visits to the region to send clear and unambiguous messages; and yes, it means being prepared to impose sanctions and arms embargoes where appropriate. It also means that if States demonstrate and deliver a firm commitment to peace, we should respond to that commitment with equal determination.”

7. “The Council initiated that in the mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic, and I hope that we can continue by looking at greater prioritization and sequencing of tasks when we come to renew the mandate of UNMISS next month. We must set a clear direction for UNMISS as it evolves over the coming months to support the peace agreement. We will, of course, be guided by the technical assessment of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations. We should also take this opportunity to think hard about UNMISS priorities, how they are sequenced and how best to expand the Mission so that it delivers what is needed on the ground. Secondly, we need to get our political messaging right. When the Council speaks, it is the voice of the international community.”

8. “In particular, the United Nations must respond robustly to all allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse. Like New Zealand and others, we therefore support the Secretary-General's recommendations and stand ready to help implement them. On this and all other issues related to peace operations, it is time now to stop talking and to start taking action to make a real difference. Let me make three practical suggestions on how we can do so, focusing on the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) as an example. First, we need better phased or sequenced mandates with more prioritization of mandated tasks.”

9. “I would like to thank the Secretary-General not just for his briefing but also for his initiative in setting up the peace operations review (see S/2015/446) and his follow-up to that review, including through this meeting of the Security Council. As we have heard today, the Council needs to play a significant role in empowering peace operations if we are to meet the challenges of current and future conflicts. For the United Kingdom, this means improving the way the Council mandates missions and changing how we discuss the work of the United Nations in fragile and conflict-affected States. At its best, United Nations peacekeeping can save lives, rebuild communities and replace fear with hope. But not all United Nations peacekeeping is as good as the best.”

10. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Kingdom. Let me begin with some comments on the situation in Mali. Like others in the Council, I have been shocked by the hostage crisis in Bamako today. I express solidarity with the Malian Government and its people in their fight against terrorism. I offer my sincere condolences to the victims of the attack and deep sympathy for the fear and injuries inflicted on those held hostage. We commend the swift and decisive action by the Malian security forces, supported by French forces and the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). The Security Council will remain closely engaged in the stabilization of Mali through MINUSMA, and the Government and the people of Mali have our full support at this difficult time.”

13. “The European Union and Kosovo have now signed a Stabilization and Association Agreement, which we warmly welcome and it is time to conclude that it is Europe, and not the Council, that will bring momentum and further progress. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. Mr. Ivica Dacic' has asked for the floor to make a further statement. I give him the floor.”

14. “The Kosovo Assembly needs to be allowed to hold a free and open debate on all issues affecting the country, including the pressing need to improve the rule of law. Let me close by thanking the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and the representatives of Serbia and Kosovo for a meeting that has been relatively constructive in tone so far. The United Kingdom's long- standing view that we should reduce the frequency of such meetings continues. Though challenges remain, the reality on the ground does not warrant such Council attention. We are now in the third year of the dialogue facilitated by the European Union between Serbia and Kosovo.”

15. “It is vital to the future prosperity and stability of the Western Balkans and to the well- being of Kosovo's people. We encourage both sides to continue to show leadership and to take the difficult political decisions needed to ensure the success of the dialogue. Both sides need to deliver the benefit of the dialogue for all their citizens. That means implementing the agreements, changing legislation where necessary, and remaining genuinely committed to the process. We are therefore concerned that the Kosovo opposition is using violence to block the work of the Assembly and, worse yet, that individual members of the Government have been assaulted. We object to the blocking of democratic processes and the opposition's use of violence for political ends. Reports of injuries yesterday should be of concern to us all.”

16. “We have seen signs of such political will since August, most notably in the adoption of the constitutional amendments and laws for the specialist court. We are pleased that Kosovo has begun negotiations with the Netherlands and we look forward to continued progress. Political leadership has also been shown by Serbia. We welcome the invitation for Kosovo's Commission on Missing Persons to attend the excavations in Jelovica, Serbia. It is an encouraging sign of better cooperation in identifying missing persons. Sadly, more progress must be made in identifying missing persons in Kosovo, and we urge all those with information to come forward. We have also seen political leadership in the four positive agreements reached in the dialogue in August. The dialogue remains the most effective way to normalize relations.”

17. “The withdrawal of the controversial draft law on cultural heritage was an important signal of that. But like others here today we understand the concerns set out in the report of the Secretary- General (S/2015/833) about attacks against minorities and religious heritage. Most of these incidents are not ethnically motivated - they are criminal in nature - but we still encourage Kosovo to do more to promote social cohesion and integration. That means reaching out to minority communities. It means more mayors and police commissioners condemning attacks and working together. We applaud the efforts of those who have already done so, including in Mitrovica. We recognize that such steps require political leadership and courage.”

18. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the United Kingdom. Ijoin others in welcoming Special Representative Tanin back to the Security Council in his new capacity. I look forward to working with him. I also want to welcome Deputy Prime Minister Dacic' and Ambassador Citaku to the Council, and I thank them for their statements. I would like to begin by welcoming the dignified response shown by Kosovo after its bid tojoin UNESCO fell short. Kosovo's integration into international organizations is positive for Kosovo and for the region, and we will continue to support it despite the setback. We appreciate Kosovo's strong commitment to protecting Serbian cultural and religious heritage, irrespective of the UNESCO result.”

It is clear that we have a healthy appetite for continuing these discussions. We have not been able to fully answer every question raised, but I hope that the conversations will continue so that we can do so. I encourage the Commissioners to continue to tell us exactly how they feel, to tell us about their experiences in the field, on the front lines and in the most vulnerable communities. I would also like to thank my colleagues on the Council for their comments and questions. There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. The meeting rose at 12.40p.m.”

There were alaso a number of questions about the important role ofwomen in policing, as well as comments about the strategic guidance framework. Finally, some questions were about the use of technology, other equipment and management. I will now give the floor to the briefers for responses to the questions posed and for any other remarks that they may wish to make. I give the floor first to Mr. Ladsous.”

25. “With regard to the second theme 4 the institutional framework - the starting point is that the police component of peacekeeping is quite often neglected as compared to others. We should therefore think creatively about the part that policing can play in resolving instability. Is resolution 2185 (2014) fully effective? What more do the heads of the police components need from the Council? What more needs to be done to ensure that the mission leadership understands the role of United Nations policing? There is a lot of support for having this briefing every year, and we look forward to working with the presidency of Senegal at this time next year. Many questions were also raised about resources and the capabilities of policing.”

26. “The third relates to resources and capabilities for policing, including, crucially, the role of women in policing. Let me say a little more about each theme. Under the first theme, several of the questions are an important follow-up to the Secretary-General's June report (S/2015/453) on the protection of civilians in armed conflict. I hope those questions will also be a key part of the upcoming independent police review. For instance, how effective is cooperation between police and other force components when dealing with the protection of civilians? Are the rules of engagement clear? Do they differ between the police and the force? To what extent do police components coordinate with political affairs sections within missions, in particular on issues such as electoral violence?”

27. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Kingdom. I shall recap the questions that have been posed and invite the briefers to respond to those questions. As President, let me thank everyone for asking so many questions. There are too many, in fact, for the briefers to respond to all of them at this meeting today. Let me therefore extract from the discussion the three overarching themes of the questions, and ask our briefers to respond accordingly. The first theme has to do with the cooperation within the Missions among the police and other components as it relates to the protection of civilians. The second is the institutional framework, including our own role in the Security Council, for supporting policing as part of peace operations.”

As we look back and remember how far the country has come, let us also look to the future and see how much more progress is needed before all the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina can benefit from the lasting prosperity and stability they deserve. That will be achieved only when all political leaders look beyond shortsighted, self-interested actions. Today those leaders should be struck, as I am, by the strength of concern in this meeting of the Security Council about any rhetoric or action that undermines Dayton. Significant work lies ahead, requiring strong and courageous leadership.”

We hope we will see continued progress in the coming months. However, serious challenges continue to threaten Bosnia and Herzegovina's stability and security. Last month, the EU's Foreign Affairs Council strongly condemned the threat of a referendum in the Republika Srpska that questions the State-level judiciary and the powers of the High Representative. Threats of a referendum are divisive, anti-constitutional and contrary to the Dayton Agreement.”

To be clear, the United Kingdom is committed to Bosnia and Herzegovina's future membership of the European Union and NATO, and we are fully committed to helping it undertake the reforms necessary to achieve its goal of Euro-Atlantic integration. In that regard, I am pleased that the European Union was able to bring into force the Stabilization and Association Agreement earlier this year.”
