“We believe that the political resolve of the senior authorities in Cote d'Ivoire, which has so far prevailed, will persevere and grow stronger in addressing the remaining challenges, particularly in the security field. In our View, the implementation and operationalization of the law on military programming will be a decisive step in this direction, as it will strengthen training and discipline within the Ivorian army. With regard to the threat posed by the spread of violent extremism and terrorism in the subregion, the action of the Ivorian authorities, working in close cooperation with neighbouring countries, to strengthen the measures taken against this increasing threat to subregion is warmly welcomed. We must be sure to consolidate and entrench the gains made in the stabilizing C6te d'Ivoire.”

“Mindaoudou's briefing allows me to dispense with revisiting the situation in Cote d'Ivoire, but like other speakers who have preceded me I would like to state that today, 2 June, is clearly and truly historic and rich in symbols for our sister Republic of Cote d'Ivoire, which this morning was elected a non-permanent member of the Security Council and then comes to the Council this afternoon for a final briefing on the end of the United Nations Mission there. With its experience as a host country of a United Nations mission, which is, as Ms. Mindaoudou said, a success story in all respects, Cote d'Ivoire is leaving the agenda of the Security Council and coming to sit at the table of this body to make a significant contribution to the work of the Council for the next two years.”

“Through the Ivorian Minister for Foreign Affairs here with us today and his delegation, I wish to reiterate the warmest congratulations of Senegal to Cote d'Ivoire on its brilliant election to the Security Council. To Ms. Mindaoudou, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Operation in C6te d'Ivoire (UNOCI), the Senegalese delegation offers its congratulations both for her comprehensive briefing and, above all, for the remarkable manner in which she fulfilled mission in our sister country of Cote d'Ivoire and helped it achieve stability. Ms.”

“Mr. Seck (Senegal) (spoke in French): I align myself with the words of the President in condemning the terrorist attacks in Kabul. In so doing, I wish to reiterate the condolences of Senegal to the families of the victims and to the people and the Government of Afghanistan. The Senegalese delegation would like to congratulate Bolivia on its assumption ofthe presidency ofthe Security Council for this month. We also wish to warmly congratulate the delegation of Cote d'Ivoire, as well as the delegations of Equatorial Guinea, Kuwait, the Netherlands, Poland and Peru on their outstanding election this morning as non-permanent members of the Security Council for the biennium 2018-2019.”

“Senegal would like to express its appreciation regarding the important milestones reached in the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina and encourages the strengthening of the dynamics to normalize relations between the two parties, as well as enhanced cooperation, which is in the interest of their people and fosters peace in the subregion.”

“In addition, the activities carried out under the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo, whose mandate was extended until 14 June 2018, appear to be advantageous in that they help to build on the achievements made in the areas of defence and the promotion of the rule of law, human rights and the fight against terrorism and organized crime. In addition, we welcome the activities of UNMIK in promoting reconciliation, transitional justice, human rights and in providing support for the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina.”

“They have all committed to resuming dialogue at the highest level, under the auspices of the European Union, and to refraining from making provocative or belligerent statements. We share the view of the Secretary- General that the issue of missing persons, which should remain a top priority, requires that leaders on both sides have a firm and genuine political will in order to provide families with the answers they have been awaiting for so long. On another note, my delegation would like to commend the efforts of the Kosovo Security Force in the fight against violent extremism in Kosovo.”

“Senegal also hopes that fears arising from the decision of the Government of Kosovo to transfer to Kosovo the ownership of all property previously registered to predecessors or administrative, military, social or political organizations, have subsided. On a positive note, my delegation commends the unhindered participation of Kosovo Serbs in Serbia's presidential election at polling stations throughout Kosovo, as well as the smooth running of the elections, which received support from the Organization for SecurityandCooperationinEuropeandtheKosovoForce. We also welcome the high-level meetings organized by Ms. Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, on 24 January and 6 February in Brussels. The Presidents and Prime Ministers of Serbia and Kosovo participated in the meetings.”

“Fortunately, that draft law was withdrawn on 7 March, with a statement from President Thaci promising that no unilateral action would be taken on that issue and that the transformation process would be transparent and inclusive and carried out in cooperation with the country's international partners. On another note, the adoption by the Assembly of Kosovo of the resolution calling for the suspension of dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, which is facilitated by the European Union, in protest at the detention of Mr. Ramush Haradinaj, became another source of tension, which we hope has abated now that he has been released.”

“In order to build on the results achieved in that context, we believe that it is essential that the agreements reached thus far be implemented and that political leaders on both sides be fully committed to pursuing, in a constructive spirit, the dialogue as it is the only viable way to normalize relations. Recent developments outlined in the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (S/2017/387), including the proposal by the President of Kosovo to transform the Kosovo Security Force into an armed force, through legislation and not via referendum, have sparked controversy.”

“In that regard, and with a view to restarting the process of building and preserving lasting stability that extends beyond Kosovo to all entire region of the Balkans, first, we strongly encourage Kosovar political actors to work towards maintaining a peaceful political climate on which the quality of the dialogue with Belgrade greatly depends; and secondly, we encourage Serbian authorities to maintain and strengthen their commitment to participating in a constructive and peaceful dialogue with Pristina. That said, Senegal welcomes the progress made thus far by both parties in the dialogue conducted under the auspices of the European Union and encourages countries and partners with influence to continue to use that influence to revive and support the talks.”

“Mr. Seck (Senegal) (spoke in French): I wish at the outset to congratulate the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ambassador Zahir Tanin, Head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), on his excellent briefing and to assure him once again of the full support of the Senegalese delegation as he carries out his duties Secondly, I would like to pay tribute to Ms. Nela Kuburovic', Minister of Justice of the Republic of Serbia, and to Ms. Vlora Citaku, Ambassador of Kosovo to the United States. My delegation remains concerned about the continuing tensions that somewhat hamper the substantial progress noted since the end of the conflict.”

“The 28 European Union members are the primary donors for the United Nations system, in terms of the regular budget of the Organization, peacekeeping operations, as well as funds and programmes. In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that as seen from Dakar, the European Way applies universally to the United Nations, regionally to the African Union, subregionally to the Economic Community of West African States, and nationally to my country. Ethiopia, which was mentioned by Ms. Mogherini earlier, is a member of the Security Council and engages in effective cooperation to manage the migrant crisis and other transboundary issues.”

“Simultaneously, with contributions to peace and security, we would underscore the numerous actions of the European Union in the area of prevention that seek to address the root causes of conflict. The United Nations integrated strategy for the Sahel is a striking example, as is the Global Alliance for Resilience Initiative, which is part of the same line of effort. The European Union provides significant contributions to the work of the United Nations. It cooperates with all bodies, agencies and programmes of the Organization and is involved in almost all United Nations activities, from development policy and rebuilding peace to humanitarian assistance and protection of the environment, human rights and even culture. The European Union is involved in activities in all the regions of the world.”

“Moreover, let us not forget the biannual meeting of the United Nations-European Union Steering Committee on Crisis Management, which is co-chaired by the Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations and the Deputy Secretary- General of the European External Action Service. We could present an exhaustive list of European actions for international peace and security. However, simply by way of example, I would note the contribution of the European Union to African peace and security efforts, including in the Central African Republic, Somalia, Mali and, more broadly speaking, the fight against illegal trafficking of all types, the fight against terrorism and the management of the migrant crises.”

“Bridges between the two organizations include the formal biannual meeting of the Security Council with representatives from the Political and Security Committee of the European Union. That meeting provides an opportunity to review peacekeeping operations and other matters related to peace and security. Furthermore, there are high-level meetings dealing with the review of strategic issues, in particular periodic briefings by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy to the Security Council. There are also presentations from high United Nations officials to the Political and Security Committee in Brussels.”

“That document, it should be recalled, identifies the ways and means of cooperation between the European Union and the United Nations, as well as priority measures jointly applied in past years by the two organizations, as pertains in particular to increased contributions of uniformed personnel by European Union member States, planning and coordination, cooperation in general policy and guidelines, as well as lessons learned from experience and training. As underscored in the 1 April 2015 report of the Secretary-General (S/2015/229), communication and coordination activities conducted at the strategic level between the European Union and the United Nations in peacekeeping and crisis management take on various forms.”

“Allow me to recall some important documents that continue to serve as strategic multisectoral frameworks for relations between the United Nations and the European Union in the areas of crisis management and peacekeeping. Those documents include the 2003 and 2007 Joint Declarations on United Nations-European Union Cooperation in Crisis Management, and the plan of action to strengthen support provided by the European Union Security and Defence Policy to United Nations peacekeeping operations, which was adopted in 2012 by the Political and Security Committee of the European Union.”

“Right now, there are many conflicts and crises around the world that require close collaboration between the United Nations and its various partners, particularly the subregional organizations that, as we all know, play a vital role in the maintenance of international peace and security. In that regard, the European Union, firmly anchored in its values, understanding and know-how, which Ms. Mogherini so elegantly describes as "the European way", and given the human, institutional, technological and financial means at its disposal, has dedicated itselfto remaining a major partner - indeed, a strategic one - of the United Nations and many other regional and subregional organizations, such as the African Union. That is important both for the maintenance of international peace and security and the prevention of conflicts.”

“Mr. Seck (Senegal) (spoke in French): I would first like to thank the Uruguayan delegation for organizing today's meeting - on a day that is a celebration as much for the United Nations as it is for the European Union - on cooperation between the two organizations, this time from the point ofview of the European Union. I would also like to welcome Ms. Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. I would also like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Secretary-General Guterres for his leadership and efforts to strengthen the effectiveness of the United Nations and provide its good offices with the aim of improving the management of conflict situations and crises around the world.”

“Finally, human rights protection can also serve as a confidence-building measure among parties to a conflict involved in negotiations on the conclusion of agreements, either peace agreements or cessation-of- hostilities agreements. This is a clear reflection of their relevance in terms of defining political strategies. Human rights is a cross-cutting issue that runs through the whole of the United Nations system, including in the work of the Security Council. Thus Senegal is of the View that we need to create conditions for a stronger international cooperation on human rights that is effective in times of conflict and times of peace and would make better, synergetic use of the many relevant mechanisms, in the framework of an approach that combines universality, interdependence, impartiality and objectivity.”

“Therefore, the Human Rights Council could, through the General Assembly if necessary, draw the attention of the Security Council to situations that may lead to conflict. Bearing in mind the importance of the post-conflict phase in crisis recurrence, it seems to us wise to take into account the promotion and protection of human rights in efforts at peacebuilding and bringing about a sustainable peace. My delegation therefore believes that high priority should be accorded to the right to development, given the various principles involved, which include equality, non-discrimination, participation, transparency and responsibility, as well as cooperation, in particular at the international level.”

“We would also like to underscore the commitment of ECOWAS, which on a number of occasions has worked together with the United Nations and demonstrated its proactivity through good offices, as was the case with the resolution of the crisis in Burkina Faso, or through preventive deployment, such as in Liberia in 1990 and Sierra Leone in 1997, and, more recently, in the Gambia. Furthermore, United Nations human rights mechanisms that monitor and report on human rights, including the Human Rights Council, with its Universal Periodic Review and organs created under international instruments, form a basis that is useful, despite needing some fine-tuning, for addressing human rights issues.”

“That is why my country, Senegal, would like to reiterate its plea for better prevention based on robust, reliable alert systems and the necessary open cooperation between all stakeholders, in particular within subregional and regional organizations such as the African Union, which has its own African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which has a Protocol on good governance, the rule oflaw and electoral processes.”

“It is therefore important that, as independent and sovereign Member States, we invest sufficiently in all of these different issues, including the human rights issue, on the basis of mutual respect and a constructive dialogue. While one of the main objectives of United Nations peacekeeping missions is to put an end to conflicts, it is also vital, in our view, to prevent crises and build peace and development on a solid foundation.”

“It is therefore vital to take into account all human rights, be they civil, political, economic, social or cultural, so as to ensure an effective international peace and security. It is for that reason that the Council, in addition to underlining in its decisions that the three pillars of the Organization - peace and security, human rights and development - are inextricably linked and mutually reinforcing. Concerning the increasing number of major human rights violations, especially in conflict situations, by both State and non-State actors - including, unfortunately, extremist and terrorist groups - we must work together in a concerted manner and with greater resolve to put an end to such acts.”

“The Council will also recall the various reports submitted to the Security Council containing recommendations aimed at strengthening human rights protection, which include the one I mentioned earlier. Let us make no mistake: these gains, remarkable though they may be, are still fragile and must be carefully safeguarded from the ever-increasing threats and challenges we currently face. Indeed, the current juncture demands that on a daily basis we consider the links between crises, armed conflicts and human rights violations. But even beyond such conflicts and violations, we must also address the issues of poverty, food insecurity, health crises, environmental problems and climate change, which pose equally significant threats to peace and security.”

“I would also like to welcome the definition and granting by the Council of mandates for human rights protection in 10 of the 16 peacekeeping operations as well as in five special political missions, which demonstrates its resolve to contribute to respect for and the effectiveness of these rights, in particular in times of conflict. Thus, aware of the gravity of the issue of human rights protection in armed conflict, the Council has incorporated the rights of women and children into its work by applying to peacekeeping the concepts of gender equality and of the preservation of the best interests of the child. These various mechanisms are complemented by that of sanctions, and one criterion for sanctions designation is human rights violations.”

“I am charting out this history to remind members that the issue is not a new one and that it has given rise in the past to edifying examples of cooperation between various bodies of the United Nations on more than one occasion, situations in which the Human Rights Council, for example, established a commission of inquiry and transmitted its findings to the General Assembly, which, in turn, adopted a resolution recommending that the Security Council follow the advice of the commission of inquiry. That seems to us to be the kind of cooperation that should be encouraged, in the spirit of one United Nations.”

“In the same year, the provisions of Article 2, paragraph 7, of the Charter were not violated when the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights was invited to participate in the Council's deliberations. Since then, according to statistics, the Council has hosted 15 such briefings. Many other resolutions have resulted from discussions on human rights in the Council, such as those concerning South Sudan and the Central African Republic, as well as those concerning Liberia and Sierra Leone.”

“Given all of those functional prerogatives, the tragic turn of many internal conflicts in several areas of the world has led the Council in the distant and recent past to act when such situations characterized by massive human rights violations have threatened international peace and security, because they risk resulting in massive refugee flows towards international borders and consequent border violations. We recall the terrible events that led, for example - and there are many other examples - to the adoption of resolution 688 (1991) on the question of the Iraqi Kurds and resolution 693 (1991), which established the United Nations Observer Mission in El Salvador with an ambitious human rights mandate, including monitoring, the monitoring, promotion and investigation of human rights violations.”

“But all of that would be ineffective, if each of the bodies were to work in an isolated manner at a time when everyone agrees that we need more synergies and complementarity, as expressed in the title of the "One United Nations" initiative. In that regard, we anxiously await the decisions of the Secretary-General concerning the reorganization of the Secretariat. We note another caveat concerning respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States while working towards the promotion and protection of human rights.”

“But it is clear that we must respect the mandates of each organ with regard to human rights, in particular those of the General Assembly and its Human Rights Council and those of the many committees, without, of course, forgetting the role of the Secretary- General through his various Special Representatives on thematic issues, including those relating to children and armed conflict, women and peace and security, and the prevention of genocide. I can also cite the United Nations Development Group's human rights mainstreaming mechanism with its credo "Human Rights Up Front". There are also the 16 peacekeeping operations, of which 10 include a human rights element that is more or less well structured.”

“That has become all the more possible since, as human rights issues have been addressed for the past 25 years, the role of the Council in examining those issues as they relate to international peace and security has become more clear, particularly within the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the recommendations in the report of the High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations (see S/2015/446), and resolution 2282 (2016) on the international peacebuilding architecture, security and peacebuilding, in particular through the Peacebuilding Commission. It is in such a spirit that my country, Senegal, approaches today's meeting, bearing in mind the premise that human rights are one of the three pillars of United Nations activities and are mentioned seven times in the Charter.”

“My delegation hopes that our discussions today will result, ifnot in a consensus, at least in a clearer idea and shared Vision with regard to the existing links between security, peace and human rights, as well as the role that the various organs of the United Nations system must play through complementarity and synergy, the respective prerogatives and mandates of which have been made clearly identifiable in the Charter of the United Nations and United Nations practices in response to the unfortunate development of threats and conflicts.”

“Your initiative, Madam, has enabled us to relaunch this fascinating and often impassioned debate, which has hardly been exhausted, among members of the Security Council on the links, tenuous though they may appear, between human rights and peace and security, as well as on the role that the Security Council can and must play in ensuring the respect of human rights through prevention when necessary. It is therefore fortunate that you have included this thematic debate under an existing and important agenda item of the Security Council, namely, the maintenance of international peace and security in its connection with human rights and the prevention of conflicts.”

“Mr. Seck (Senegal) (spoke in French): The Senegalese delegation welcomes the convening of this meeting by the United States presidency to discuss human rights and the prevention of conflicts. The Senegalese delegation would also like express its appreciation for the opportunity to hear the statement by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, whose commitment to the promotion and the protection of human rights needs no introduction, as was shown by his very informative briefing. The Senegalese delegation fully agrees with the three essential points that the Secretary-General made earlier.”

“Moise, responded as that by the end of his five-year term, the changes that he promised during his electoral campaign would become a reality. Those promises included restoring the confidence of the Haitian people in the political system and class, as well as in the elite; strengthening inclusion and national sovereignty; and rebalancing the national territory. That is why Senegal appeals to the Council, through me, to assist Haiti, which is, as we see it, the first black republic to gain independence and the first South American democracy with a Parliament of more than 200 years old and a Senate that is 207 years old. I think that the international community must continue to support the country.”

Mr. Privert added that, in the framework of the draft three-year document for 2017-2019, the Government needed to mobilize upwards of $900 million in order to strengthen coastal infrastructure, secure transportation and capacities across productive sectors, all in a consistent manner, in order to reorganize national territory in the social, economic, environmental and institutional spheres.

That is why we urge Security Council members to continue to pay particular attention to the humanitarian, security and economic situations in Haiti, which have been put to the test in recent years. When the President assumed his new functions, the outgoing provisional President J ocelerme Privert highlighted the importance of assessing losses, damages and needs following Hurricane Matthew in October 2016.”

“Despite the outstanding progress made by the Haitian National Police, which has become far more professional and effective, work remains to be done with respect to crime due to ongoing insecurity over the past six months, as indicated by statistics, which reveal 546 homicides in the reporting period, as compared to 510 from 1 March and 31 August 2016. I recall that during that same period, 200 cases of rape were reported, 20 kidnappings took place, 30 police officers were killed and 635 violent protests were recorded. Regarding MINUSTAH's mandate, Senegal reiterates its confidence in Ms. Honore and the entire MINUSTAH team. It supports the recommendations made by the strategic assessment team, which conducted its work from 6 to 11 February.”

“Senegal supports the new approach of the Secretary-General on cholera and calls on Security Council members to collectively promote the effective implementation of this new approach, in close cooperation with the Haitian Government and the victims. There is a need for a regular follow-up of the situation in Haiti, which remains fragile. Much remains to be done, in particular in the areas of security, justice and human rights. This pertains particularly to the draft criminal procedure code, which is an important element for benchmarking the stabilization of the country. Following the withdrawal of the Mission, we must prevent a security vacuum and the recurrence of past errors and failures that once give rise electoral crises and large-scale public unrest.”

“The international community, and particularly the United Nations, while recognizing the significant progress made, must continue to support the Haitian Government, as MINUSTAH is doing through the implementation of several projects to promote good governance and democracy, strengthen State authority and improve the living conditions of the people in a humanitarian context that remains difficult and marked by the consequences of Hurricane Matthew. This situation has been compounded by a cholera epidemic that has raged in Haiti for several years, with devastating impacts that should be duly managed by the international community, especially now that the United Nations, through its former Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, has publicly acknowledged responsibility in the spread of cholera in Haiti.”

I commend the people and the authorities of Haiti, in particular the Provisional Electoral Council and the Haitian National Police, for their outstanding work accomplished in a professional and impartial manner. I also commend MINUSTAH for its good offices and work, which have made a major contribution to the stability and security of the country and to lending credibility to the electoral process. These joint efforts have allowed Haiti to return to a fully functional constitutional order after several years of institutional stalemate.”

“Concerning the relationship between UNAMID and the Sudanese Government, we welcome the progress that has been made with regard to the issuing of Visas and the releasing of containers, particularly those containing food rations. That is thanks to the efforts of the Sudanese authorities, which have, inter alia, appointed a focal point who will bear responsibility for these issues. That said, some containers remain held up in Port Sudan, which leads to difficulties for troop- contributing countries, my own included, in importing spare parts for key equipment. In order to alleviate this situation, we call for greater cooperation on the part of the Sudanese authorities so that these containers can be released.”

“Although there continue to be sporadic intercommunal clashes, their intensity, on the whole, has diminished. The Senegalese delegation nonetheless wishes to deplore the numerous human rights violations reported in Darfur, which target in particular internally displaced persons (IDPs), women and children. We call for the voluntary and secure return of IDPs, which requires a safe environment and a long-lasting commitment by all parties to reconciliation and recovery. In that context, my delegation welcomes the holding of the national dialogue and encourages the effective implementation of the recommendations arising therefrom so that the Government and the opposition can reach a common understanding so as to bring about a lasting solution to the conflict and a lasting peace.”
