1. “This year the Council has deliberated on continuing crises, such as in Syria; nascent or mounting situations as in Mali and the Central African Republic; deteriorating security across North Africa, including acts of violence and terror committed by Boko Haram and other groups; tensions in the Middle East and Gaza, the emergent threat of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the risk of foreign terrorist fighters, to name just a few. That comes on top of the already significant work required to mandate and oversee 16 peacekeeping operations, 11 political and peacebuilding missions and 15 sanctions committees. With this significant workload, we know how difficult it can be to maintain perspective and identify and focus on priority tasks. As we examine what we have done over the month, we must do so while looking forward.”

2. “I thank the President and the entire mission of Chad for their leadership during this busy month of December. To our Chilean colleagues, we wish the very best for January. They can count on our support. Today I would like to share our delegation's views on some areas where the Security Council has been productive, while also looking ahead to what we will need to continue to focus on in January and beyond into the new year. Although I joined my country's delegation to the United Nations very recently, I understand from my team and from discussions with predecessors that this has been a singularly demanding year in the Security Council.”
