“President Macky Sall of Senegal, in his added capacity as Chair of the Standing Committee for Information and Cultural Affairs of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, announced, at the thirteenth Islamic Summit held in Istanbul in April, the launch of an international award to recognize the media and the women and men of the media who exemplify tolerance and intercultural harmony by fostering dialogue. I call on all States members of OIC and the United Nations to support that award, which will surely encourage the press to work towards peace and stability. If extremism has been able to thrive to such a worrying extent, it is because the conditions of its propagation are ripe within the vulnerable factions of our populations that are strongly impacted by poverty and underemployment, thereby leading to a breeding ground for terrorism.”

“That preventive strategy seems quite appropriate and fortunately occupies an important place on the agenda of our two organizations, which have made intercultural dialogue an essential component. The close collaboration between OIC and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations is evidence of that relationship. We align ourselves with the strategy that stresses education for youth and women, and the importance of better media in the fight against violent extremism and terrorism. It would indeed be most effective to educate youth and women with the relevant information. Senegal therefore calls for broader participation of young people and women in the design and implementation of any future strategies dealing with the scourge of terrorism, because they, the youth and women, are the main targets and also the main victims of it.”

“Meanwhile, we welcome the significant progress made on the ground in the fight against Da'esh, Boko Haram and Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, Iraq, Syria, the Great Lakes Region of Africa and the Sahel, but we must agree that security alone is no longer a suitable solution in efforts to address the scourge of terrorism. For however many terrorists are physically eliminated, the ideology that underpins their actions remains alive, as long as that ideology is not destroyed. Furthermore, ulemas, scholars, intellectuals and other educators around the world have a significant role to play in deconstructing that ideology, a task that requires dynamic interaction with youth, women and all vulnerable groups, in order to pass on the message of peace and moderation of the sacred book of Muslims the Koran, and the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed.”

“We must recognize that the current scope and new forms of terrorism make the fight against it even more complex. States, international organizations and civil society must adapt and coordinate strategies and methods for addressing it. The Muslim world, which includes the countries that are paying the highest price occasioned by terrorism, needs more than ever for OIC to be its voice. Indeed, the unjustifiable acts of terrorism hurt Muslims and lead unfairly to mistrust or even fear of the religion of Islam. Senegal, which solemnly reiterates its condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, also refutes, in this very Chamber, any attempt to attribute terrorism to any religion, culture or civilization, just as it denounces the desire to manipulate some groups of misled people with a view to turning them Islamophobic.”

“The joint efforts of OIC and the United Nations in all areas of international cooperation, including institutions such as the World Health Organization, not only in the fight against major pandemics, but also in the framework of intercultural dialogue and fighting violent extremism and terrorism, have been most important. With regard to terrorism and violent extremism, the delegation of Senegal welcomes the effective collaboration between OIC and the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre, especially in support of capacity-building aimed at preventing the phenomena of extremism and terrorism. The discourse and, unfortunately, the actions of terrorism and extremism continue to deeply destabilize our societies by corrupting some of our young people and women, leading the future of our nations towards a dead end.”

“The convergence of objectives forms the basis ofthe dynamic framework of cooperation between the United Nations and OIC, marked in particular by the holding of biannual coordination meetings for more than 25 years, the last of which took place in May 2016 in Geneva, leading to the adoption of a framework defining all areas of cooperation, as well as the modalities and mechanisms of implementation. The vitality of the cooperation between the United Nations and OIC is also evident on the ground, where those great institutions have had a very positive impact working closely on the restoration ofpeace and security around the world, including in Palestine, Afghanistan, Yemen, in Europe in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and also in Africa in Sierra Leone, Mali, the Central African Republic, Somalia, Libya and Darfur, among others.”

“I shall now make a statement in my national capacity as the representative of Senegal. I wish to thank today's briefers for their presentations of outstanding quality and clarity. Given the remarks that have been delivered, I will not revisit the framework of mechanisms and modalities of the multidimensional cooperation between the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Our meeting this morning has established that such cooperation, seen from the point of view of the fight against extremist ideology, shows the vitality of the relations between the two organizations, which share the same ideals of peace, security and security and development, to name a few.”

“In addition to encouraging dialogue, Senegal urges all stakeholders to make further strides towards peace and development, in particular by encouraging the implementation of the 25 August 2015 agreements in north Kosovo. We therefore reiterate our unstinting support to the joint EULEX-United Nations Development Programme project aimed at increasing trust among the communities by protecting cultural heritage. We would also like to see a strengthening of cooperation on information-exchange for resolving the issue of missing persons. By way of conclusion, my delegation would like to pay tribute to Special Representative Tanin for his wise guidance ofUNMIK. We also welcome the efforts made by the Kosovo Force, EULEX, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the European Union.”

“Similarly,withregardtotheactivitiesoftheEuropean Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX), whose mandate was extended to 14 June 2018, we welcome its shoring up of Kosovo's achievements in the area of defence, in promoting the rule of law and human rights and in combating terrorism and organized crime. Its support also contributed to the holding of a regional conference of police directors general in Skopje from 8 to 10 September, which included representatives from Kosovo, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia. We welcome UNMIK's activities to promote reconciliation, transitional justice and human rights and to support the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina.”

“My delegation believes that difficulties can be overcome; certainly, they should not become an obstacle to the political process under way, especially with regard to implementing the agreement on integrating the Kosovo judiciary, where notable strides have been made. Along the same lines, we welcome the agreement reached on 5 August for the implementation of the agreement of 25 August on the reconstruction of the main bridge in Mitrovica. We would encourage parties to ensure the success of the agreement by upholding their outstanding obligations. Senegal agrees with the Secretary-General that efforts are needed on the humanitarian and human rights fronts so as to increase the return of refugees, foment trust among the various communities and build diverse yet inclusive societies.”

“In order to draw upon the achievements made in that framework, we think it crucial that the agreements reached until now be carried out effectively and that leaders on both side fully commit to resume dialogue in a constructive spirit. That remains the only way to normalize relations. Recent developments noted in the report, in particular the political context leading to the ratification of the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro and the new law on the Trepca industrial complex, serve to remind us of the need for inclusive dialogue on all pending matters, both among domestic and foreign stakeholders.”

“In that regard, in order to reinvigorate the momentum towards ensuring lasting stability - which beyond Kosovo is a matter of concern for the entire Balkans region - we would strongly encourage the political players in Kosovo to work towards a calm political environment, on which the tenor of the dialogue with Belgrade depends, while also calling upon Serbian authorities to maintain and bolster their commitment to a constructive and calm dialogue with Pristina. My delegation joins the Secretary-General in welcoming the progress made to date by both parties in the context of the European Union-facilitated dialogue. We encourage partners and countries with influence to bring it to bear to continue to support the talks.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Senegal. First, I would like to thank Ambassador Zahid Tanin, Special Representative of the Secretary- General and Head of the United Nations Interim Administration in Kosovo (UNMIK), for the excellent briefing he has just delivered. I also thank Mr. Ivica Daeie, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Minister of Serbia, and Ambassador Citaku for their statements. I am necessarily concerned about the unabated tensions mentioned in the Secretary-General's report (S/2016/901), new tensions that undermine some of the progress made since the end of the conflict with the cooperation of stakeholders on both sides. Such progress made possible the agreement on telecommunications, which my delegation welcomes as important.”

“On the other hand, some missions have problems with a lack of qualified managerial personnel. What are the implications of those factors for the execution of mandates? That question is for all four briefers and Mr. Ladsous. With regard to MINUSTAH, Hurricane Matthew recently did enormous material damage to the country and significantly worsened the humanitarian situation there. MINUSTAH had to throw itself into assisting the population, which was very badly affected at a moment when the security situation was deteriorating, so the police component was forced to add aiding the population to its traditional tasks. How, in the Commissioner's opinion, was it able to combine the two missions? And what were the constraints in terms of personnel and equipment?”
2016-11-10 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7808 (2016) · source
“And we have all emphasized the lack of women personnel, who in many cases are more appropriate for local policing efforts. The figure cited was 17 per cent, not 7 per cent, but in UNAMID, with a female Head of Mission, it is 19 per cent, still a significant degree of improvement. I would now like to ask our briefers a few questions, the first of which - on the issue of the language that the missions are operating in in the various theatres 4 was raised by the French delegation. The second has to do with the fact that peacekeeping missions are increasingly deployed in hostile environments where functioning equipment and well-trained personnel are needed in order to carry out complex tasks effectively. Mr. Ladsous's Department has frequently deplored the lack of available equipment.”
2016-11-10 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7808 (2016) · source
“The 65 recommendations issuing from the assessments - organized by Mr. Ladsous - on police units, including documents on strategic guidance, seem to be on the right path. Shortcomings, weaknesses and areas of improvement were identified - I will mention but a few, specifically: the often late deployment of police to missions, resulting in development aspects not being included in initial action plans; unqualified personnel, often due to poor training, which hampers their operational capabilities; the difficulty ofthe Police Division in filling vacancies within mission forces; mandates too rigid for specific and asymmetrical developments on the ground; the lack of a reliable and effective information- and intelligence-gathering system that would enable us to be proactive; but also the difficulty of missions in preventing the misconduct of their personnel, which tarnishes the image of the United Nations.”

“With nine formed police units in six police stations, for a total of 1,250 personnel throughout our theatre of operations of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID), the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan, the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali, the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic, the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau, not to mention individual police officers, Senegal has much to gain from this debate, by sharing its contribution and experience but, above all, by listening to others and asking for their input in order to improve its training and deployment policies for formed police units in peacekeeping operations.”

“Given the growing role of the police in those missions, my delegation considered it useful to take this opportunity, as we preside over the Council this month, but also during United Nations police week, to ask Council members to participate in this interactive dialogue.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Senegal. At the outset, I would like to thank Mr. Ladsous and the other briefers this morning for having accepted our invitation and, above all, for having illustrated the difficult conditions of our operations, under which our tasks are accomplished for the good of humankind. At this late hour, I hardly need to underscore the growing importance of police in peacekeeping operations - the briefers have more than adequately done that. I will simply note why my delegation took the initiative of convening this debate. Senegal is the largest contributor of police units to United Nations peacekeeping operations.”

“We firmly believe that a positive perception of the Court and the promotion of peaceful relations marked by mutual trust between Africa and the ICC, as well as the efficient and effective addressing of everyone's concerns, necessarily require dialogue and cooperation. We therefore invite all States parties to commit themselves to a unified policy of consensus and solidarity to restore the confidence and enthusiasm that people and Governments demonstrated during the creation of the Court. Given the gravity of certain crimes that shock our collective conscience, we have a moral duty to remain united and act together. I resume my functions as President of the Council.

“Unfortunately, we are forced to note that atrocities continue to be perpetrated against innocent victims on a daily basis, and the overwhelming majority of them still await justice. That is why my delegation urges the international community to step up its work to promote the successful functioning of the ICC and the universality of the Rome Statute. We must recall that the ICC remains today the only recourse for victims where the right to justice is not upheld in situ. That is why the Senegalese delegation cherishes the hope that the States that have withdrawn from the Rome Statute will heed the call ofthe President of the Assembly of States Parties and reconsider their positions, and that those States that have not yet withdrawn from the Rome Statute will adhere to it.”

It was not only to put an end to impunity and prevent major crimes, but also to respond to the feelings of frustration and outrage evoked by humanitarian tragedies that have caused so much suffering to the peoples ofthe world, that 120 States met in Rome 18 years ago to set up the ICC, whose jurisdiction encompasses the crimes considered to be the most serious by the international community.”

“My delegation encourages the Prosecutorto continue along that path and encourages the Libyan authorities to continue sharing information and cooperating with the Office of the Prosecutor, with a view to building a credible and effectivejudicial system. After all, it is up to the Libyan authorities to guarantee respect for the rule of law in their own country. To that end, the support of the international community for Libya, through its Presidency Council, remains vital to restoring stability and security throughout the country. Such stability and security require the unification and reconstruction of all national institutions, including political institutions and security and defence forces.”

“The review of the twelfth report allows us to affirm that, despite an unstable international security environment and ongoing budgetary constraints, the Office of the Prosecutor has managed to make progress on investigations in the cases involving Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi and Abdullah Al-Senoussi. In addition, it was able to provide judicious follow-up to the proceedings regarding allegations of torture and ill- treatment in the Al-Hadba prison and issue additional arrest warrants to apprehend other suspects. That is an eloquent expression of the desire of the Prosecutor to conduct criminal investigations under the November 2013 memorandum of understanding on burden-sharing with the Libyan authorities through sound cooperation and exemplary understanding with the Office.”

“I would like to commend the Government of Iraq, and particularly its Ministry of Defence, for bolstering activities geared towards finding missing persons, injecting much-needed energy and momentum into the file. A call for witnesses that was broadcast on local and satellite television channels by the Iraqi Ministries of Defence and Foreign Affairs on 18 September, inviting all those with information pertaining to missing Kuwaiti persons and property to come forward, has resulted in hundreds ofphone calls from citizens claiming to know the whereabouts of both. That information is currently being verified. I would like to highly acknowledge the Government of Kuwait, which has consistently shown support and understanding with regard to the challenges faced by the Government of Iraq over the years.”

“At present, more than 20,000 people are being supported at existing camps. The remaining 30 per cent have found shelter in host communities and public facilities. A total of seven emergency sites are ready to receive 40,000 more people. At least 450,000 more spaces are under construction. In July, the humanitarian country team issued a flash appeal requesting $280 million to prepare for Mosul. Close to 80 per cent of the required amount has been received, although most funding came on line only recently, delaying preparations until nearly the start of the operation.

Extensive contamination from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) is already reported.”
