  1. “In conclusion, I would like to reaffirm the readiness of my country, which has emerged from a decade of crisis thanks to the support of the United Nations and the international community, to do its part, with all other members of the Council, for the success of the peace process in Colombia. Finally, allow me personally to thank the Ambassador of the United Kingdom, my friend Matthew Rycroft, for the friendship and the support that he has willingly afforded our delegation since our arrival here in New York. He is leaving us, but I believe that his spirit will continue to support us. We wish him well in his new responsibilities.”

Peace can be sustainable and lasting only if the reconciliation process is inclusive and involves all Colombians. My delegation urges the Government and the Ejercito de Liberacion Nacional to continue their negotiations with a view to a swift renewal of the ceasefire as part of a comprehensive peace agreement.

  3. “My delegation further notes that the numerous murders of social leaders and the observed return of former FARC combatants to the areas they previously occupied, which is the result of their lack of prospects, compound the situation in Colombia. We are convinced that peace and security are prerequisites for all harmonious and sustainable development, and we call upon all Colombian stakeholders to commit themselves further to the political process under way. All parties must assume their responsibilities and obligations. My delegation welcomes the tremendous efforts already undertaken by the Government of Colombia in implementing the Peace Agreement, and we encourage it to persevere in order to ensure the success ofthis process through tangible measures and the implementation of the structures set up within this framework.”

  4. “Notwithstanding these gains, Cote d'Ivoire remains troubled by the delays observed in the implementation of certain relevant provisions of the Peace Agreement, specifically the political, economic and social reintegration of the FARC and the implementation of the necessary reforms to improve the living conditions for people in the areas of Colombia that have been plagued by war - people who aspire to better lives. Cote d'Ivoire deplores the relapse into insecurity, violence and myriad forms of trafficking in the areas previously occupied by the FARC. Criminal groups and militias are now vying for control of these areas.”

  5. “Cote d'Ivoire joins its voice with those of previous speakers in welcoming the remarkable progress that has been achieved in the peace process uunder way in Colombia. This progress is especially reflected in the signing of the Final Agreement for Ending the Conflict and Building a stable and Long Lasting Peace of November, 2016 and the effective disarmament of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) and its transformation into a political party. It is also reflected with the ceasefire reached between the Government of Colombia and the Ejercito de Liberacion Nacional (ELN). We further commend the determination of the various parties to work to achieve peace and national reconciliation.”

  8. “My country condemns this deadly attack and, as Chair of the Working Group on Peacekeeping Operations, looks forward to the results of the investigation aimed at determining the exact circumstances of this tragedy and to taking appropriate measures so that such tragedies are not repeated in future. It goes without saying that the existence of such armed groups poses a serious threat to stability throughout the region and to the overall process for ending the crisis. Taking appropriate measures to deter those groups must therefore be a priority of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), in addition to its efforts to support the political process.”

Attacks by such groups led to the deaths of 15 Tanzanian peacekeepers on 7 December 2017.
