  1. “In doing so, the Council can make full use of Chapter VIII of the Charter and encourage the settlement of disputes through regional arrangements.”

  2. “Women's participation in all aspects of peacebuilding and sustaining peace must be ensured. We welcome the Italian chairpersonship's intention to mainstream a gender perspective into all ofits activities. Gender aspects, including the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), must be an integral part of all our security-related work, both in Vienna and in the field missions. In conclusion, the Council, by working together with the OSCE, can more effectively promote human rights, the rule of law and democracy, and ensure peace and security in Europe. That collaboration could be a model for United Nations cooperation with other regions that are in need of regional collaborative and security arrangements.”

  3. “The protracted conflicts in Georgia, Moldova and Nagorno Karabakh are of great concern to the common OSCE acquis. Through the OSCE and the European Union, we continue to support peacebuilding measures and conflict resolution in Georgia, including through co-chairpersonship of the Geneva international discussions and the European Union Monitoring Mission on the ground. In those contexts, it is of particular importance that the United Nations and the OSCE reinforce their cooperation and dialogue and coordinate activities to jointly pursue conflict prevention and peacebuilding. We see a good example of informal cooperation on the ground in Ukraine, where the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission and the United Nations human rights monitoring mission are both operating.”

  4. “Rebuilding trust and confidence can happen through a renewed respect for the common principles and commitments to which we have all agreed. We therefore welcome the Italian chairpersonship's emphasis on substantive dialogue on issues that are at the core of the OSCE mandate. Sweden will always be clear, consistent and principled when it comes to violations of the Charter of the United Nations, as well as on the European rules-based security order. We strongly support the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine, which must be given full, safe and unhindered access throughout Ukraine. A possible United Nations peace mission in eastern Ukraine must have as its objective the restoration of Ukraine's sovereignty and its internationally recognized borders. The Minsk process needs to be pursued and there must be delivery on its commitments.”

  5. “For that reason, it is essential that the OSCE focus on its core business. A frank and open dialogue among participating States, aimed at restoring respect for our commonly agreed principles and commitments - as enshrined, most notably, in the Helsinki Final Act and the Paris Charter - is needed. It is essential that the comprehensive concept of security and the OSCE's role be upheld. In particular, it is vital that the OSCE's human dimension and autonomous institutions are safeguarded. Trust lies at the heart of conflict prevention and conflict resolution. Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine, its illegal annexation of Crimea and military actions in eastern Ukraine seriously challenge the rules-based European security order and erode that trust.”

  6. “In that regard, there is clear potential for greater United Nations- OSCE collaboration, particularly in the search for solutions to conflicts in Europe, which the Secretary- General has identified as a key priority. The OSCE's three dimensions of security are an operationalization of the broad concept of security, which the United Nations has also made its own, with sustaining peace at its heart. Through closer collaboration on issues of mutual concern, the United Nations and the OSCE can increase the strength and effectiveness of the work of both organizations. The OSCE represents one of the most advanced levels of security cooperation in any region in the world. Its strength lies in a set of fundamental principles, to which we, as members, have all committed. However, today there are challenges to what we have agreed.”

  7. “Let me begin by welcoming the Chairperson-in-Office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Minister Alfano, to the Security Council. The OSCE, as the largest regional security organization under Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations, has an indispensable role to play in upholding the rules-based order in the European region to promote cooperation and security. I thank the Minister for his comprehensive briefing and I would like to assure him of our full support. The Secretary-General has clearly outlined the importance of regional organizations in the maintenance of international peace and security, and his ambition to further enhance cooperation and coordination with those organizations.”

  8. “The renewed mandate must now also be backed up with adequate and sustainable resources in order for the Mission to fulfil its mandate. After years of conflict and violence, Afghanistan has reached yet another milestone. Elections are around the corner, and the outlines of a path to peace are on the table. The potential for peace must be fully realized with the meaningful participation of Afghan women.”

  9. “Sweden will continue our dialogue and mediation training of local female actors to build their capacity to lead in local peace and reconciliation efforts. Let me commend the Kingdom of the Netherlands, as penholder, on today's adoption of resolution 2405 (2018) and for the constructive manner in which it conducted the negotiations. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) plays a critical role in support of national efforts towards a comprehensive and inclusive Afghan-led and Afghan- owned peace process. This is also true of women's roles and for the national action plan on resolution 1325 (2000). The Council now need to back up and support UNAMA as it carries out its work at this critical time.”

  10. “In this regard, Sweden supports Women for Afghan Women, which works to fight gender- based violence with shelters, family counselling and mediation. F ourthly, women should be present across the whole of Afghan society. We are encouraged by the improved gender equality in business, civil society, the civil service, the judiciary, the police and the army. Women should never have to fear making their contribution to society. Today's briefers, Ms. Sarabi and Ms. Safi, have devoted much of their professional lives to women's participation. They have demonstrated that Afghanistan does not lack strong female leaders; yet they are not often enough at the table when decisions about peace and security are being made.”

  11. “In each of our Council meetings, we must reflect on how the women and peace and security agenda translates into real change. We must build on the knowledge that the slogan "more women, more peace" is certainly true. On the basis of the principles of our feminist foreign policy, we want to highlight the "four R's": rights, representation, resources and a reality check. I would like to briefly highlight four areas in which increased efforts could make a real difference for Afghan women. First, it is about safe access to health care and education. Secondly, it is about investing in women, not least in the national action plan on women and peace and security, in accordance with resolution 1325 (2000). Thirdly, violence against Afghan women and girls is a grave violation of their human rights and must be ended.”

  12. “Let me commend the Government's continued efforts to realize its vision for peace. This is essential given that, as we have heard, violence by terrorist groups must be stopped, and the solution to the conflict can only be political. We commend the hosting of the second meeting of the Kabul Process last week. During the meeting, the Government presented a constructive road map for peace. We call on the Taliban to engage in a dialogue on the road map. In order to ensure the legitimacy of the peace process, it must be inclusive and uphold all of the achievements made over the past decades. Regional actors are expected to make their contribution to the peace endeavours. This is decisive in the fight against terrorism and in breaking the vicious circle.”

  13. “Today I will dedicate my intervention to women's issues. That does not mean that the other aspects of the very difficult situation in Afghanistan are forgotten. While there have been genuine improvements in women's enjoyment of their human rights over the past 15 years, more is needed, as Afghan women continue to seek to play their role in society. This is a particularly critical moment for women's participation in shaping the future of Afghanistan. As the country prepares for elections in 2018 and 2019, we expect the Government and the electoral management bodies to take all steps necessary to develop and implement gender-sensitive security and election plans, so as to enable an environment in which both women and men can safely run for elected office, campaign freely and vote, not least in remote and rural districts.”

  14. “Madam President, I wish to thank you for having convened today's briefing on Afghanistan, with a necessary focus, on International Women's Day, on women and peace and security. The correlation between gender equality and peaceful societies is clear. Afghanistan will not achieve the peace and development that its people so strongly desire without unleashing and embracing the agency of Afghan women. I align myself with the statement to be made later on behalf of the European Union and its member States. I would also like to thank Special Representative Yamamoto for his comprehensive briefing and to express appreciation for the very important interventions by Ms. Sarabi and Ms. Safi. Sweden is a long-term donor to Afghanistan. We were a participant in the Resolute Support Mission, and we follow developments very closely.”
