1. “We would like to note the DPKO's forward-looking approach to engaging the emergency- response capabilities of Member States that have solid rapid-deployment capacities, something that will be invaluable when we need to react immediately to crises while peacekeeping forces are still being generated. With the further improvement and development of the PCRS, we believe that the problems the United Nations has with critical gaps in missions will be dealt with. At the same time, the hybrid United Nations- African Union missions have shown that the deployment of regional forces can be effective.”

2. “It can also provide the United Nations with a range of contingents for filling operational gaps in field missions, if properly facilitated by the Secretariat. The Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), with its unique database on the capabilities and strengths of Member States, plays a key role in force generation through its targeted outreach approach and by facilitating partnerships between TCCs and PCCs that can increase co-deployments. Enhancing cooperation between regional and subregional organizations is a vital contributing factor. We are certain that the flexibility and partnerships that can enable the active involvement and engagement of countries new to United Nations peacekeeping will increase the effectiveness of peace operations.”

3. “While we want to emphasize the primacy of politics in conflict prevention and resolution, our peacekeeping forces remain a valuable tool for ensuring the creation of conditions conducive to political solutions. We have been witnessing significant changes in the United Nations peacekeeping system, with Member States making important new commitments at the leaders" summit on peacekeeping in New York and subsequent ministerial meetings on the topic. Kazakhstan has declared its unit and number of individual officers in the Peacekeeping Capability Readiness System (PCRS). We believe that the PCRS has shown itself to be the right instrument for ensuring adequate preparedness on the part of the troop- contributing countries (TCCs) and police-contributing countries (PCCs) to be deployed.”

4. “I would like to thank the French presidency of the Security Council for organizing this timely and important debate on strategic force generation for United Nations peacekeeping operations. I would also like to thank Under-Secretary-General Lacroix, and Ambassadors Momen and Blanchard, of Bangladesh and Canada, for their briefings. Conflict prevention and maintaining peace are among the key founding objectives of the United Nations, and an efficient peacekeeping system is a primary requisite for achieving them. We therefore fully endorse the Secretary-General's initiatives aimed at reforming United Nations peacekeeping, with a focus on effectiveness, mission accountability and new partnerships.”

5. “It is also imperative that the Committee continues to promote due process in its work, in particular through the work of the Office of the Ombudsperson. As Chair, I would like to thank all Member States for their continued willingness to cooperate constructively with the Committee, its monitoring team and the Office of the Ombudsperson.”

6. “Such visits serve to share the best practices employed by national authorities in combating terrorism, as it relates to the mandate of the Committee. In that regard, the Chair plans several visits in the near future to Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and the Russian Federation. I would like to take this opportunity to call on Member States to continue their engagement with the work of the Committee and the Monitoring Team, as it is essential to the maintenance of an up-to-date and dynamic sanctions list. The Monitoring Team updates list entries based on information provided by Member States. I therefore encourage Member States to keep the monitoring team informed. I also urge those Member States that have not done so to submit their implementation reports mandated under the relevant resolutions.”

7. “The Committee and the Monitoring Team stand ready to work closely with the new United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism in executing its overarching mandate. To fulfil the Committee's mandates, it is also important to coordinate effectively with key specialized agencies such as the International Air Transport Association, the International Civil Aviation Organization, the World Customs Organization, INTERPOL and the Financial Action Task Force, as well as with regional organizations such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The Monitoring Team also plays a key role in this matter. In order to see how the sanctions regime can be implemented more effectively and to understand the national and regional challenges to implementing the Council's measures, I organize regional visits aimed at raising awareness of the Committee's mandate.”

8. “In that regard, the Committee's work is supported by the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team established pursuant to resolutions 1526 (2004) and 2368 (2017) concerning ISIL (Da'esh), Al-Qaida and the Taliban and associated individuals and entities, which continues to provide updated threat assessments andmonitors the measures' implementation. The Monitoring Team closely coordinates its work with CTED and the Expert Group of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), and participates actively in all relevant activities under the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. It also regularly contributes to the Secretary-General's reports on the threat posed by ISIL and the range of United Nations efforts supporting Member States in countering that threat.”

9. “The international community is facing a multitude of challenges from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and from Al-Qaida and their respective networks. Terrorist groups continue to adapt in response to global counter-terrorism efforts, and the Taliban remains a serious threat to the peace, stability and security of Afghanistan. The Committee continues to administer measures that include assets freezes, travel bans and arms embargoes targeting designated individuals and groups associated with ISIL, Al-Qaida or the Taliban. If the sanctions regimes are to operate effectively, it is crucial to ensure that the Committee's work goes in lockstep with the evolving global threat posed by these groups.”

11. “Kazakhstan also appreciates the progress achieved in deploying the Regional Protection Force, which will play a key role in protecting civilians and improving the security environment. We welcome the decision of the Kenyan Government to participate in the Regional Protection Force and hope that the remaining issues will be resolved speedily and the deployment process completed on time. In conclusion, Kazakhstan emphasizes the need for the regional and international communities to foster constructive understanding and trusting, mutually beneficial relations if we are to achieve the goal we all share of peace and security in South Sudan. We therefore believe that Mr. Shearer's latest meeting with President Kiir represents the beginning of an improved working relationship between UNMISS and the Transitional Government.”

12. “We are seriously concerned about the fact that, despite the ceasefire declaration and generally limited mobility, owing to the rainy season, military operations have continued in Jonglei, Upper Nile and the Equatorias, leading to a sharp escalation in humanitarian-access incidents, extreme food insecurity and the numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons. We therefore urge all parties to restore the permanent ceasefire and immediately stop attacking, arresting and detaining UNMISS and humanitarian personnel. It will be important to make the perpetrators of such violations accountable, and we welcome the recent progress made in establishing the Hybrid Court.”

13. “The support of the African Union, working closely with the United Nations, is integral to calming intentions and making improvements on many fronts. But we must also acknowledge that the conflict in South Sudan cannot be resolved or managed exclusively through political negotiations, because security and development are interdependent. If we are to address complex causes of conflict we must design effective strategies for international assistance in many areas, including sustainable economic growth, infrastructure and road-building, intercommunal reconciliation and preservation of the environment.”

14. “Such a dialogue requires a much wider collaboration among the Transitional Government, the African Union, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and IGAD. We also commend the efforts of Presidents Museveni and Konare', as well as other stakeholders, to bring peace to South Sudan. The crisis in South Sudan can end only if all these peace initiatives are well coordinated. We support the communique adopted on 20 September at the African Union Peace and Security Council ministerial meeting on the situation in South Sudan, and join others in underscoring how important it is that all stakeholders speak with one voice, thus avoiding mixed messages being sent to the parties in South Sudan.”

15. “I would like to join previous speakers in thanking Special Representative Shearer and Chair Mogae for their comprehensive and insightful briefings. My country is concerned about the slow implementation of the South Sudan Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan, since it remains the only viable option for achieving sustainable peace, and we appreciate the work of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in organizing the anxiously awaited high-level revitalization forum, which aims to include all parties in the effort to effectively implement the Agreement. At the same time, we must ensure that the national dialogue launched in May is truly inclusive and transparent.”

16. “We strongly condemn the activities of all armed groups operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and their violations, especially those involved in attacks on the civilian population, United Nations personnel and humanitarian actors. We therefore call for the comprehensive and voluntary disarmament, demobilization, repatriation, reintegration and resettlement of Congolese and foreign militia for the long-term stability and economic development of the country. Finally, Kazakhstan, like others, is committed to achieving peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We understand that there is no simple or quick formula for completing all the large-scale tasks of conflict prevention and stabilization. We therefore call for the effective implementation of Security Council resolutions and the political agreement of 31 December 2016.”

17. “The fight against illicit trafficking in natural resources is critical to enabling the Democratic Republic of the Congo to move beyond conflict towards peacebuilding and development. Concerned with increasing violations of human rights, especially conflict-related sexual violence against women and children, we call for strict monitoring, improved protection services and better law enforcement, with a view to fighting impunity. We therefore need a comprehensive assessment of effective implementation ofmeasures imposed by resolution 23 60 (2017), including future engagements with concerned States on the implementation of those measures and recommendations of the monitoring group.”

18. “We encourage the Government and the signatories of the political agreement to make every effort to reach consensus for its implementation and to hold timely, credible and transparent presidential, national and provincial legislative elections. We therefore urge the National Electoral Commission of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to work closely with the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to uphold internationally acceptable electoral regulations, engaging all interested sides. While we see considerably reduced exploitation of and trade in the country's natural resources, we need to close all loopholes in the implementation of the sanctions regimes and overcome the impediments of corruption and the weakening of State institutions that block our success.”

19. “We honour their memories by offering our highest commitment to the noble ideals they lived for. We highly esteem the extensive work of the Committee pursuant to resolution 1533 (2004) and commend its leadership and the Group of Experts on the ground as they address the challenges facing the country. Your trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sir, and continuous efforts to maintain a constructive dialogue with the local authorities and regional and international partners make an invaluable contribution to strengthening peace and stability in the region. On the political front, we are concerned at the increasing popular dissatisfaction with the political process, deepened by the worsening socioeconomic situation and increasing insecurity in Kinshasa and other main urban centres.”

20. “Mr. President, we would like to thank you for convening today's meeting to hear your insightful briefing on the final report of the Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (S/2017/672/Rev.1). We are honoured to have his Excellency Mr. Leonard She Okitundu, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, among us and welcome him to our deliberations. We also recognize the presence of the parents of Michael Sharp - Mr. John Sharp and Mrs. Michele Sharp - as well as the mother and sister of Zaida Catalan, Mrs. Maria Moresby and Mrs. Elizabeth Moresby. I would ask them to accept our sincerest and most heartfelt condolences for their tragic and irreplaceable loss. Michael and Zaida made heroic sacrifices by giving their lives for peace and security in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

21. “Finally, we encourage the leaders of both parties, as well as the new Administration, to overcome narrow political interests and ethnic divisions and to make meaningful progress towards honouring commitments on economic and political reforms. To that end, it is essential to ensure close cooperation on the ground among Kosovo authorities, the Kosovo Force, the European Union, the OSCE, the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo, the Council of Europe and the United Nations system for the full realization of resolution 1244 (1999).”

22. “Furthermore, we believe that social stability will be achieved only through the full engagement of the United Nations country team, regional and subregional organizations and civil society groups, as well as youth working to achieve sustainable peace. We therefore underscore the pressing need for further peacebuilding, conflict prevention and mediation in Kosovo. Peace is achieved if the weakest links in society have their rightful place. We therefore call for improving the conditions for internally displaced persons and members of non-majority communities, through better health services and economic development.”

23. “It is equally vital to implement laws on the use of languages, the protection of vulnerable groups and cultural heritage. Special attention must be paid to the strengthening of the Office of the Ombudsperson, supported by UNICEF. We see the importance of implementing resolution 1325 (2000), on women and peace and security, with the support of UN-Women, and addressing the issue of conflict-related sexual violence. We also need to implement resolution 2250 (2015), on youth and peace and security, and provide full support to the laudable engagement of young people of all ethnicities in promoting reconciliation.”

24. “We hope that a similar procedure will be adopted during Kosovo's local elections in October. My delegation commends the European Union and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Commission, Ms. Federica Mogherini, for successfully hosting a high-level meeting between the two parties on 3 July in Brussels. We view the outcome of that event as advantageous since the leaders agreed to start a new phase of dialogue, which could turn out to be very promising. In that regard, we highly recommend that both sides discuss any new initiatives in order to find a mutually beneficial solution. Kazakhstan calls on the parties to follow agreements and avoid any nationalist and provocative rhetoric, while focusing on promoting intercommunity reconciliation and trust, the rule of law and human rights.”

25. “I thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Tanin, for his detailed briefing on the recent developments in Kosovo. We also thank the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Mr. Dacie, and Ms. Citaku for their statements. The reporting period under consideration was a very active one in the light of the elections held in both Serbia and Kosovo. The recent events have changed the political landscape and configuration of both sides. We therefore encourage the strengthening of confidence-building measures, which are needed now more than ever. We welcome the efforts of the European Union and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to provide assistance for the holding of peaceful, free and democratic elections.”

27. “Addressing impunity and corruption, advancing structural reforms in the areas of security, justice and the rule of law, promoting human rights, increasing resilience and the engagement of women and young people are equally important parts of the Strategy We also welcome the announcement of the alliance for the Sahel - a joint initiative by France, Germany and the European Union to improve development cooperation in the region and promote innovative initiatives among the European Union, the World Bank Group, the African Development Bank and the United Nations. We should strive for initiatives that complement current efforts to address the many underlying causes of instability in the region.”

28. “Instability is the result of the sedimentation of problems of which violent extremism is only the most recent layer. For us, an important threat therefore is the challenge to the legitimacy of the State and competition between pastoralists and crop growers, which results in clashes among the various communities. There is a need to focus on the root causes of the conflict and on promoting development. Kazakhstan is convinced that a subregional and comprehensive approach that links security, development and humanitarian efforts is the most efficient way to achieve peace and prosperity. Those goals will be achieved only through more effective implementation of the United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel.”

29. “Such a force will positively contribute to maintaining stability in the region and complement the efforts of MINUSMA and Operation Barkhane. The provision of steady financial support continues to be the main challenge due to a significant gap in funding the force. We commend and encourage the continuation of the commitment of the G-5 Sahel countries, as well as the support provided by European Union and France. We encourage countries and international organizations to make considerable pledges at the donors' conference to be held in Berlin in September, with a view to mobilizing adequate resources for the force to achieve its goals. At the same time, it is unlikely that a strictly military approach will be enough to address instability in the region.”

30. “We thank Assistant Secretary-General Wane for his insightful briefing. First of all, I would like to express our deepest condolences and solidarity to the people and the Government of Burkina Faso and to the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) following the recent terrorist attack, which claimed the life of Togolese peacekeepers and a number of civilians in Burkina Faso. The situation in the Sahel remains fragile due to the threat from Boko Haram, the Islamic State and other terrorists, violent extremists and organized crime groups. We therefore welcome the formal launch of the joint force at the Group of Five for the Sahel (G-5 Sahel) Heads of State Summit in Bamako on 2 July. We fully support the decision in order to better combat terrorism and transnational organized crime.”

31. “To conclude, we emphasize the crucial need for development programmes in the aforementioned countries visited by Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed and throughout the whole African continent. The close link between security and development is very important, particularly in the region but also in the world as a whole. That is because the nexus of security and development is actively working on addressing many ongoing issues. We need to support interdependence across the pillars of the United Nations.”

32. “We are convinced that long-term stability and sustainable peace can only be achieved by investing in the strong connection between peace, security and development. Therefore, we should address the root causes of the crisis in the region and create better opportunities for education and employment for the next generation. Kazakhstan will always stand for the engagement and contribution of women and youth in all phases of mediation, conflict resolution, post-conflict recovery and long-term development in the joint efforts of the United Nations and the African Union. We commend the launch of the African Women Leaders Network's, which was initiated on 2 June by the African Union Commission, UN-Women and Germany. The Network seeks to enhance the leadership of women in the transformation of Africa. It focuses on governance, peace and stability.”

33. “We believe that United Nations agencies, regional organizations and international donors must elaborate a single, comprehensive strategy for the region in order to increase the volume of humanitarian aid and ensure that that aid reaches those in need. We express special appreciation and call for support to be provided to the Government and the people of Uganda, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania and other countries that have kept their doors open for refugees fleeing from conflict. It is especially important to further support the African Union's efforts to increase the role of women in strengthening the human rights, security and development nexus, which is essential for stabilizing the overall situation in those countries.”

34. “The situations in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo have been aggravated by ongoing military actions of armed groups, particularly Boko Haram. Therefore, every effort must be made to ensure the protection of the human rights of women, keeping in mind that the African Union pays special attention to that issue through the recently established Pan African Women's Association, which has been classified as a specialized agency of the African Union. We must also pay full attention to the dire humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which greatly impacts women and girls, who represent the largest number of internally displaced persons and refugees. More than 11 million people have been affected by the humanitarian crisis and more than two-thirds of those 11 million are women and girls.”

Therefore, Kazakhstan will stand by all peace initiatives in Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and elsewhere, which have to incorporate bottom-up and top-down strategies that will bring about transformation. The situation related to women's rights in the countries that the Deputy Secretary-General visited is extremely fragile and alarming.”

The African peace and security architecture and the Silence the Guns by 2020 initiative will bring a new focus on preventive diplomacy, which cannot succeed without the support of the international community. Therefore, in all negotiations, woman and youth, who constitute the majority of the population, must inherit and shape a continent that is free from conflict in all forms, especially violence against women. We will reach our goals only if we pursue a significant dialogue between the United Nations and the African Union on implementing resolution 2242 (2015).”

We have to help the region overcome the challenges of eradicating poverty and achieving inclusive and sustainable growth. We must support Africa's steady pursuit of stability and transformative, sustainable development. In that context, the predominant emphasis must be placed on the involvement of woman and youth, as well as their right to human dignity without any form of degradation.”

39. “The Democratic People's Republic of Korea's irresponsible policy negatively affects the global process of nuclear non-proliferation and undermines our collective efforts to ensure a nuclear-weapon-free future for the planet. We urge the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions for the sake of the security and development of its people and for the benefit of all humankind. The threat of the missile and nuclear programmes of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea makes it imperative for all parties concerned to intensify their efforts to find a mutually acceptable solution through the early resumption of negotiations. A solution to this situation is possible only through dialogue and not through any military strategy triggered by the provocative actions of the North Korean authorities.”

The resolution also leaves room for the resumption of dialogue or a six-party mechanism for negotiations. Kazakhstan strongly condemns as irresponsible and dangerous North Korea's international-range ballistic-missile launches as they undermine our shared international efforts to strengthen regional and, ultimately, international peace and security. Such actions are in serious violation of Security Council resolutions and pose a threat to peace. Furthermore, they destabilize the situation in the North-East Asia region, as well as globally.”

The role of the private sector is critical to uphold norms so that some entities do not become illegal trading or export or import partners with countries under sanctions regimes. We also call for greater vigilance by chambers of commerce working as key partners with all actors involved in this complex and wide-ranging stakeholder arrangement. Capacity-building for Member States that are at various stages of the economic continuum is necessary.”

44. “Sanctions should have clear, precisely defined objectives and termination criteria, and, when these have been met, they should be lifted. It is important for the Security Council sanctions committees to closely cooperate and engage in dialogue with the Member States affected and raise their awareness regarding the reasons for and the objectives and nature of the sanctions measures undertaken. Lack of awareness and absence of a relationship with the affected Member States could potentially erode the credibility of United Nations sanctions and result in a reluctance to implement them. We also call for close interaction among all interested Member States so as to influence those States and bring about regional global compliance.”

Every sanction regime is unique and carefully tailored to address specific, clear objectives. However, there is always room for improvement, such as disseminating the best practices of various committees so as to enhance the overall effectiveness of United Nations sanctions regimes. These also can be enhanced by greater cooperation and information-sharing.

46. “Bodies imposing or supervising sanctions must ensure the maximum possible transparency and accountability, accompanied by improved working methods and processes. Correspondingly, Secretariat budgeting and staffing on sanctions needs to be strengthened so as to bring about substantial improvement in means of sanctions enforcement. We join others in their recommendation that the ad hoc Informal Working Group on General Issues of Sanctions should be strengthened. My delegation welcomes the restructuring of the Security Council Affairs Division team so as to meet the needs of the Security Council Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011) concerning Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities, and the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1988 (2011).”

47. “Kazakhstan supports the need for Security Council sanctions mechanisms and the implementation of Council sanctions that are important preventive measures and help sustain or restore international peace and security. In accordance with Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the use of sanctions, and the subsequent use of force, should be undertaken with caution. They must not be seen as an early response but rather as a last resort, after all preventive and diplomatic means have been exhausted. Sanctions should be designed to modify behaviour. Wherever possible, they must be subject to a pre-assessment on the probable impact of the proposed sanctions from a humanitarian point of View, as well as enforcement and efficacy. Equally crucial is the need for monitoring and regular review, taking full account of collateral effects.”

48. “At the outset, let me thank Egypt for having organized this timely meeting on sanctions, which are an important tool under the United Nations Charter for the maintenance of international peace and security. The Security Council has a long-standing history and practice of applying sanctions. However, several key issues need to be considered to make sanctions relevant, such as the best means of increasing their effectiveness by making them more carefully targeted; ensuring their worldwide implementation in the most efficient and balanced way; averting negative socioeconomic and humanitarian consequences for innocent populations and third States; and preventing double standards in their application.”

50. “First, we must improve domestic procedures for issuing permits for the transfer of conventional weapons. We must also improve the reporting of all States. That includes harmonizing legislation among countries of the region, helping countries in passing national legislation and with their ability to take action, strengthening control over the targeted use, transfer and supply of conventional weapons, as well as ensuring liability provided for by national laws for violations. We must improve customs mechanisms and legislation and strengthen control over borders in order to prevent trafficking across countries. That can be done through the training of specialists and providing equipment.”
