  1. “Also included in this positive dynamic is the cooperation with Central Asian countries, including in the areas of transport and communications, as well as with the Islamic Republic of Iran for the conclusion of a strategic cooperation agreement. All those positive developments will allow UNAMA to better focus on its mandate of supporting Afghan stakeholders so as to build together a safe and stable Afghanistan through dialogue and political efforts, in particular during the period of upcoming elections for 2018. The bold reforms undertaken by the Afghan Government lead us to remain hopeful in that regard.”

  2. “In that context, it is encouraging to note the decision taken at the most recent meeting of NATO Defence Ministers to increase the number of troops deployed in the Resolute Support Mission as well as the choice made by United States President Donald Trump to keep United States forces in Afghanistan in the framework of the new American strategy in the country. As is the case in the majority of countries in conflict, security and stability in Afghanistan will depend upon its relations with its neighbouring countries for a long time to come. Senegal is therefore pleased by the continued improvement in cooperation between Afghanistan and Pakistan, in particular through implementing crisis-management mechanisms for emergency communication, as well as finalizing an agreement on carrying out operations along the border.”

  3. “The difficult situation in Afghanistan raises the key issues of security sector reform, strengthening the operational capacities of the Afghan armed forces, addressing the challenge of corruption, improving military command and aligning military operations with long-term political objectives. The work of UNAMA is crucial in that regard, and the reform is all the more important as the Afghan forces are facing a reduction in the number of troops because of numerous desertions and recruitment difficulties.”

  4. “That is why Senegal is launching an appeal to donors to enhance their support for the Afghan national plan of action for women and peace and security. We reaffirm the urgent need to protect schools, hospitals and places of worship, which have been the main targets of suicide attacks, in accordance with international humanitarian and human rights law. I would like to welcome the launch of a national inquiry on the protection of the rights of victims of armed conflict and terrorism by the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, as well as to say that we need to pay careful attention to their conclusions.”

  5. “Nonetheless, we can welcome the long but continued improvement in the cooperation relationship with neighbouring countries and the ongoing support for Afghanistan from the international community, including the United Nations and its Security Council through UNAMA. Given the sheer human cost of the conflict in Afghanistan, Senegal strongly condemns attacks against civilians. Let me repeat that most of the victims of those attacks are women and children. We would like to pay tribute to all of the health workers, humanitarian workers and coalition soldiers who continue working in Afghanistan, sometimes at the cost of their lives. In that regard, the protection of women deserves special attention.”

  6. “Like previous speakers, the Senegalese delegation is also concerned that the security situation in the country remains difficult, with the intensification of armed clashes and suicide attacks, which, according to the report of the Secretary-General (S/2017/783), have increased by 5 per cent compared to the same period last year, resulting in a large number of casualties, mostly women and children. At the same time, the political atmosphere seems increasingly tense, in particular given the announcement of the upcoming parliamentary and local district council elections, to be held in July 2018. To make the situation more complicated, terrorist organizations such as Da'esh take advantage of that environment in order to deepen their roots in the territory by engaging in all kinds of criminal activities, including drug trafficking.”

In addition, my delegation would like to thank Mr. Tadamichi Yamamoto, Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), and his team, for the outstanding work they are doing in the field to help Afghans find their way, but also with the prospect of implementing the recommendations of the UNAMA strategic review, decided upon by the Security Council.”

  8. “The Senegalese delegation hopes that the Council will demonstrate the necessary political will so as to ensure an appropriate follow-up through working collectively in a constructive spirit on the adoption of a substantive draft resolution establishing the principle that peace support operations mandated or authorized by the African Union with the consent of the Council must be financed through assessed contributions to the United Nations budget, with decisions on the funding of specific missions to be determined on a case-by-case basis. My delegation looks forward with great interest to the review of the implementation of resolution 2320 (2016).”

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Secretary-General and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission for the quality of their reports, submitted in accordance with resolution 2320 (2016), the concrete proposals of which bring us closer together towards realizing our common goal and making the strategic partnership more predictable.”

  10. “In the same vein, it is necessary to strengthen the means and capacities of regional Offices, such as United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel and United Nations Regional Office for Central Africa, as well as the work of African Union special envoys and special representatives to optimize their contributions to that end. My delegation welcomes the efforts made thus far in seeking predictable, sustainable and flexible funding mechanisms for African Union-led peace operations authorized by the Security Council, in particular the adoption of resolution 2320 (2016) in November 2016, during the Senegalese presidency, which, in our opinion, is an important step in that it opened up real prospects for further reflection on how best to ensure sustainable and predictable financing for African Union-led peace operations.”

  11. “That requires strengthening the partnership not only at the strategic and operational levels, but also on the level ofj oint analysis and planning until deployment so as to ensure a more effective and adapted response to the evolving peace and security challenges that the African continent is facing. The lessons learned, particularly in the transition from African Union-led peace operations to United Nations- led peacekeeping operations, illustrate the numerous logistical, operational and capacity difficulties facing both organizations in the effective management of peace and security issues. In that respect, we believe that strengthening the capacity of the African Union and its regional economic communities in the area of peace and security is important.”

  12. “The Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council have a central role to play in that cooperation, as you have just illustrated, Sir, in summarizing the proceedings of the eleventh annual joint consultative meeting of members of the Security Council and African Union Peace and Security Council, chaired by you, in Addis Ababa on 7 and 8 September. I will limit myself to underlining that, as pertains to that cooperation, African peacekeeping operations are illustrative of the fact that they constitute local responses to global problems. From that perspective, the strengthening of the partnership between the African Union and the United Nations should enable the African Union to equip itself with additional capacities, tools and means for effective and concerted action to the benefit of all.”

  13. “It is worth recalling the importance of strengthening that cooperation and developing a more effective partnership to confront the common challenges of collective security in Africa. In that connection, we welcomed the signing on 19 April of the Joint United Nations-African Union Framework for an Enhanced Partnership in Peace and Security by the Secretary-General and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission. We are hopeful that the monitoring mechanism put in place by the two secretariats to that end will facilitate the implementation of that important instrument to further strengthen cooperation between the two organizations and reach its full potential.”

  14. “Mr. Seck (Senegal) (spoke in French): First of all, I thank you, Sir, for having organized this briefing, and take this opportunity to thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General to the African Union Haile Menkerios very much for his enlightening briefing, which strongly highlights the stakes related to strengthening cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union (AU) in the area of peace and security. As noted in the report of Secretary-General (S/2017/744) before us, the partnership between the United Nations and the African Union has taken several important steps forward over the past recent years. The positive development in that cooperation emanates from a shared awareness of the interdependence and complementarity of the two organizations in the area of peace and security.”

  15. “Fortunately, the strong point of today's resolution is that paragraphs 28, 29 and 30 of resolution 2370 (2017) pave the way for a commendable political solution. We must now rise to the challenge of implementing this resolution. As the Permanent Representative of Italy stated during consultations, in his capacity as Chair ofthe Committee pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006), there remains much to be desired in its implementation.”

  16. “The Senegalese delegation wishes to underscore that this set of targeted measures, taken quite rightly in response to the challenge posed by the ballistic missile programme of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, must be pursued in the framework of global and political strategies to encourage the parties to engage in dialogue with a view to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, with the support of the international community. I therefore reiterate once again my country's support for a peaceful settlement of this issue. I call on the Council to remain unified with regard to the resumption of the six-party talks in order to achieve a verifiable denuclearization of the Korean peninsula that will ensure the peaceful coexistence of countries and peoples of the region.”

  17. “Strong reactions are logical as the regime of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea continues to pursue an illegal military regime, in flagrant violation of Security Council resolutions and of non-proliferation resolutions. Its nuclear programme is furthermore a direct threat to aviation security and the safety of millions of people who live, work and travel throughout the region, as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gave no warning or notice concerning the launches and tests ofa hydrogen bomb on 3 September, which caused an earthquake that was felt in neighbouring countries.”

  18. “Mr. Seck (Senegal) (spoke in French): The delegation of Senegal welcomes the unanimous adoption by the 15 members of the Security Council of resolution 2375 (2017) on non-proliferation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. It also commends the constructive spirit that has prevailed in the negotiations on and the adoption of this resolution, whose penholder is the United States delegation. As the Security Council has the primary responsibility in maintaining international peace and security and in accordance with the many resolutions that it has adopted on this issue, the Council had to take action by adopting supplementary measures that considerably bolster those that are already in force.”

  19. “In that regard, the regular briefings and special informational meetings convened by Italy, in its capacity as Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006), concerning the implementation of sanctions, remain of great importance. In conclusion, and as we all agree that there can be no military solution, my country urges the authorities of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to respect the resolutions of the Security Council, end its illegal military nuclear programme, refrain from threatening to use weapons of mass destruction against States Members of the United Nations, and return to the negotiating table in the framework of the Six-Party Talks, which it chose to abandon several years ago.”

  20. “There is indeed a problem. What more must we do to make that country come to its senses and respect its international obligations in this area in a clear, irreversible and verifiable manner? But the Council must first remain united and firm in its condemnation of those actions and in its resolve to adopt the new necessary measures, in accordance with its prior resolutions, including the latest, resolution 2371 (2017). Each and every State Member of the United Nations must also implement the provisions of the many resolutions and sanctions imposed on North Korea, however complex they may be.”

  21. “Together with the international community, Senegal strongly condemns in the strongest possible terms this attitude of defiance by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which are a yet another serious breach of its international obligations, undermines international non-proliferation and disarmament efforts and greatly heightens tensions and strategic instability in the Korean peninsula and even beyond. Once again, the credibility of the Security Council is put to the test. Despite all the Council's resolutions, all sanctions and other measures taken against North Korea, the country's authorities, far from having relinquished their military nuclear ambitions, are now going so far as to call into question the very authority of the Security Council to take up the problem posed by its illegal military nuclear programme.”

  22. “Once again, we find ourselves brought together following the latest in a long line of acts of defiance against the international community, in particular the Security Council, carried out by the authorities of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, namely, the nuclear test carried out yesterday, Sunday, by Pyongyang, which stated publicly that it had successfully tested a thermonuclear hydrogen bomb of unprecedented power, which could be installed on its new intercontinental missiles. This sixth nuclear test by North Korea follows the two that were conducted last year and the tenth ballistic missile launch, which was carried out just last week.”

  23. “Mr. Seck (Senegal) (spoke in French): I would first like to thank the American, British, French and Japanese delegations for calling for today's emergency meeting of the Security Council. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you, Mr. President, for having agreed to convene it so swiftly. I also offer thanks to the Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Mr. Feltman, for having given us a clear and factual briefing.”

  24. “Lessons learned reveal that it is a very demanding endeavour that requires early planning and takes local conditions into consideration, and clear objectives with the goal of bringing a peacekeeping operation to an end, meeting the needs of the population, establishing a peacebuilding office or making other provisions, as the situation requires. As soon as missions are established, peacebuilding activities must also be developed by steering efforts towards national capacity-building, addressing the deep-seated structural socioeconomic challenges that such countries often face and fostering ongoing political dialogue and effective coordination among the various stakeholders. In conclusion, we believe that the Security Council should give serious thought to the relevant observations and recommendations made by our briefers today.”

  25. “There is no doubt that, as political tools, peacekeeping operations can help to achieve the fundamental goals of conflict prevention, mediation, the protection of civilians and peacekeeping. The experience of the United Nations Operation in Cote d'lvoire, the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, the United Nations Mission in Liberia and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Mission in the Gambia, among others, provides a clear illustration of that assertion. The Security Council should strengthen cooperation with neighbouring States and regional and subregional organizations, because, in Senegal's view, ECOWAS and the African Union have been able to achieve sustained peace through transition processes and conflict resolution strategies.”

  26. “United Nations peacekeeping operations face many challenges, including constraints imposed by States and by State and non-State organizations, which prevent the operations from fully discharging their mandates. United Nations peacekeeping missions must, therefore, be provided with the capacity and resources required to fulfil their mandates effectively. Mandates should be aligned as far as possible with the situation on the ground so that they can be carried out. Before missions are deployed, mandates should be defined on the basis of analyses and information that are as objective and comprehensive as possible. It bears repeating that the action carried out by United Nations missions must be based on a specific and viable political strategy that has the support needed to resolve the conflict once and for all.”

  27. “Through an increasingly comprehensive approach that encompasses the entire continuum of peace, conflict prevention, conflict resolution, peacekeeping and peacebuilding, the concept of sustaining peace encourages us to rectify the problems caused by the fragmented efforts of the United Nations and other stakeholders in the area of peace and security. It is important to note the role of peacekeeping operations, which, when they have clear, realistic and attainable mandates with the necessary political support, remain one of the Organization's most important tools in its efforts to address the challenges of international peace and security, in particular in an environment in which there is an ever-increasing number of asymmetrical challenges and, regrettably, ever-decreasing resources.”

  28. “As outlined today by our briefers, we must end the fragmentation of the activities of the main United Nations organs, which would allow for enhanced cooperation and coordination with, for instance, the Peacebuilding Commission, which is the principal platform for our collective efforts in certain areas, with clearly identified and defined goals and targets. We are faced with a new paradigm, which has the potential to strengthen preventive efforts and enhance the effectiveness of current peacekeeping missions.”

  29. “That is why the reform of the United Nations system, as a whole, through its three pillars of peace and security, development and human rights, is of particular importance. The Secretary-General plays an important and smart role in drafting and implementing reform programmes, with the support of the Deputy Secretary-General and her team. It is up to the States Members of the United Nations to participate and assist in that endeavour. We are all aware that it is up to the Member States to implement many of the United Nations reforms.”

  30. “Meanwhile, in its rich diversity and under the auspices of the United Nations, the international community negotiated and, in 2015, adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which calls for everyone i States and international organizations, local and regional authorities and the private sector, civil society and non-governmental organizations - to do their utmost to ensure that no one is left behind. Since then, the challenges that the United Nations continues to face are being addressed through its willingness and ability to reposition itself so as to ensure that no one is left behind. That includes States, communities, individuals, companies and so on. We all know that exclusion, poverty, the lack of education and injustice fuel conflict at the national and international levels.”

  31. “That approach must be based on conflict prevention, the prevention of the resumption of conflict, the establishment of sustained peace through effective preventive diplomacy strategies, and addressing the root causes of conflict in order to restore peace and foster peacekeeping and peacebuilding. That was precisely what occurred when the recommendations of the three reviews conducted in 2015 and 2016 on United Nations action in the areas of peace and security were looked at together. The Security Council adopted resolution 2282 (2016) and the General Assembly adopted resolution 70/262 - the same resolution, one that put the challenge of sustaining peace in context, along the continuum of conflict prevention, peacekeeping, peacebuilding and sustaining peace.”

It also reaffirmed the Council's commitment to improving the efficiency of United Nations efforts at all stages of conflicts, from prevention to resolution to peacebuilding. The Council also hopes for continued, and even greater, efforts to adopt a comprehensive, coherent and integrated peacekeeping approach to international peace and security.”

I would also like to thank our briefers of today - Mr. Youssef Mahmoud, Principal Adviser to the International Institute for Peace and a distinguished member of the High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations, and Ambassador Gert Rosenthal, Chair of the Advisory Group of Experts on the Review of the United Nations Peacebuilding Architecture - whose statements certainly help inform our debate.”

Senegal therefore calls the international community to put its solidarity into action by giving broad, rapid support to the G-5 Sahel in terms of financial, logistical and human resources so that it can be operationalized as soon as possible.”

We would like to take this opportunity to reiterate to the delegation of Sahel Member States - represented here today by the Permanent Representative of Mali and joined by the representatives of Chad, the Niger, Mauritania and Burkina Faso - the deep condolences and sympathies that the delegation of Senegal expressed following the despicable terrorist attacks on 13 and 14 August in Ouagadougou and Mali.”

Finally, a great deal of information was gathered on the ground, and positive interactions were enjoyed by the joint mission, both in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in particular with the highest authorities of those countries, as well as with women victims of conflict and crises, such as the high school students of Chibok. We remain convinced that the information and the interactions will strengthen the work of the networks set up to better address the issue of women and peace and security at all levels.”

  41. “We would like it to be just as rich in terms of its impact both on policymakers and on the targets of those policies, namely, the women in those countries and, in particular, those directly affected by the security and humanitarian crises. This is a model of concerted action that constitutes one further step in the implementation of resolution 2242 (2015), adopted by the Council in October 2015, 15 years after the aforementioned pioneering resolution 1325 (2005). The visit highlighted the crises in the countries visited in terms of the place and the role of women in the future of their societies and countries, especially in times of conflict.”

  42. “As just mentioned by Ambassador Antonio, the resolution was inspired by Namibia. That is why the configuration of the mission, which combined the extraordinary female leadership of the United Nations with that of the African Union, beyond the purely symbolic, seems to be a fine example of cooperation between the United Nations and the pan- African organization. That cooperation is very useful in order to address adequately the many challenges to peace, security and development in Africa. The Senegalese delegation would therefore like to warmly congratulate the initiators of the mission who, as our briefers explained, was rich in teachings.”

Indeed, looking at the situation of the countries visited, and many other cases, we are convinced that the women and peace and security approach is one very useful method out of several used to respond to crises and to build the resilience of the States and the communities in question when faced with a wide array of traditional challenges as well as new threats. It should be recalled that resolution 1325 (2000) was inspired by Africa.”
