  1. There are no more names on the list of speakers. I will now adjourn the meeting so that the Council can continue its discussion on the subject in closed consultations. The meeting rose at 11.30 a.m.

  2. I would like to again draw the attention of speakers to paragraph 22 of presidential note S/2006/507, which encourages all participants in Council meetings to deliver their statements in five minutes or less, in line with the Security Council’s commitment to making more effective use of open meetings. I give the floor to the representative of the Sudan.

  3. The Sudan needs security sector reform, robust international monitoring and reporting mechanisms and comprehensive, inclusive and transparent transitional justice processes, including accountability. In the meantime, the United States will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to the Sudanese people and support for civil society. In conclusion, we stand with the Sudanese people in their pursuit of a democratic, human-rights-respecting and prosperous Sudan. We will continue to add our voice to bolster theirs and take action to help them create a peaceful, democratic Sudan. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.

  4. Secondly, while we welcome the recent release of some political prisoners, the United States reiterates its call for an immediate end to unjust detentions of civil society activists, politicians, journalists, cultural figures and humanitarian workers. Lifting the state of emergency and ending the use of violence against protesters would send a strong signal to the Sudanese people that the authorities are serious about good governance. Thirdly and finally, while progress is made towards the election of a civilian-led Government, the United States will continue to support the Sudanese people. The continued violence throughout the Sudan demonstrates the urgent need for the protection of civilians.

  5. As that process gains momentum, as other speakers have said, we must make sure that women, young people and members of other marginalized groups enjoy full, effective and meaningful participation and inclusion throughout every stage of the process. That is the hallmark of a true democracy, and including women makes it more likely that the transition will be peaceful. We are hopeful that the tripartite-facilitated dialogue will succeed — and soon. The transfer of power to a civilian-led Government will enable the resumption of international financial support and development assistance — support that is desperately needed. To make sure that progress happens and that the people of the Sudan are well served, we are prepared to levy consequences on those who impede or otherwise spoil the Sudan’s transition to democracy.

  6. Today I would like to discuss three key issues for the United States in the Sudan: the transition to democracy, the release of political prisoners and support to the Sudanese people. First, the United States is closely following, and fully supports, the collaborative efforts of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan, the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development to facilitate a Sudanese-led process to transition to a fully civilian-led democracy. We strongly encourage the Sudanese people — civilians and military personnel alike — to use that process to make rapid progress on the framework for a civilian- led transitional Government. We are encouraged by the outreach and progress that we have seen so far.

  7. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United States. I would first like to thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Perthes for his comprehensive briefing. We commend his efforts and those of his team supporting the people of the Sudan and their aspirations to restore a civilian-led transition to democracy. Let me also take a moment to welcome the new Permanent Representative of the Sudan to the Security Council. I warmly welcome Ambassador Mohamed. The United States fully supports the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan so that the Mission can continue to serve its vital role in furthering peace, security and stability.

  8. I thank Mr. Perthes for his briefing. I would like to draw the attention of speakers to paragraph 22 of the latest note by the President of the Security Council (S/2017/507) on its working methods, which encourages all participants in Council meetings to deliver their statements in five minutes or less, in line with the Security Council’s commitment to making more effective use of open meetings. I shall now give the floor to those members of the Council who wish to make statements.

  9. In accordance with rule 37 of the Council’s rules of procedure, I invite the representative of the Sudan to participate in this meeting. In accordance with rule 39 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite Mr. Volker Perthes, Special Representative of the Secretary- General for the Sudan and Head of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan, to participate in this meeting. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2022/400, which contains the report of the Secretary-General on the situation in the Sudan and the activities of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan. I now give the floor to Mr. Perthes.
