  1. “To all those who have been overtaken by fatigue, we ask them to continue despite it all to believe in the Central African Republic and to act on its behalf. Helping the Central African Republic is to continue stabilizing the subregion of Central Africa. Helping the Central African Republic is to consolidate peace in Africa. Helping the Central African Republic is to fulfil the international community's duty of solidarity vis-a-vis one of its members clinging to life, peace and the fulfillment his people.”

  2. “Once we have resolved the security situation, even if only partially, we can begin to rebuild the State and to consider calmly preparing the transparent and credible elections that everyone wants. Before concluding, allow me to convey the heartfelt gratitude of my Government to the United Nations, the African Union, the European Union, the International Organization of la Francophonie, the ECCAS States, France, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Luxembourg, Australia, China, Japan, Germany, the Republic of Korea, the Kingdom of Morocco, Uganda, and all bilateral and multilateral partners that have always supported the Central African Republic in its relentless pursuit of peace and stability.”

  3. “We ask the United Nations to appoint a special rapporteur to investigate violations of human rights in the Central African Republic in order to determine the extent of the crimes committed and prosecute their perpetrators in national and international courts alike, and to assist in the opening of humanitarian corridors in order to allow humanitarian actors to provide relief and assistance to displaced persons and other populations. We call on the international community to mobilize to provide the significant emergency relief that is critical to the survival more than 1.5 million victims waiting for relief. Finally, we suggest that a Chairman be appointed to the currently leaderless Central African Republic configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission, by mutual agreement with the Central African authorities.”

  4. “Faced with the dissolution of the army, and in order to save a people in great distress and before the necessary deployment of the 2,000- man force of the ECCAS Mission de Consolidation de la Paix - which we would like to see opened to non-member States of the ECCAS space - we ask France, which is endowed with a clear United Nations mandate, to intervene by force to disarm Seleka, whose abuses the Central African people have been compelled to endure. We also ask the European Union and the African Union to do everything possible to fund and/or provide other resources to the forces that would intervene under that mission.”

  5. “The humanitarian situation deteriorated after Bangui fell. Nearly 47,000 people have fled the country to seek refuge in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Congo, Cameroon and Chad. Nearly 1.5 million have been displaced internally. The absence of a humanitarian corridor, insecurity and the looting of property, warehouses and vehicles belonging to non-governmental organizations complicate the work of relief and other assistance to the people. This chaotic situation leads us to ask the Security Council to inscribe the situation in the Central African Republic on its agenda in order to ensure that it will no longer be a forgotten crisis.”

  6. “The Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), which had deployed nearly 700 men, has seen the number of its personnel rise to 2,000; hence the urgency of deploying them fully equipped and trained with a mandate to use force. The reform of the security sector, which was long on standby, should be activated in order to lay the groundwork for creating new forces of defence and security. With respect to the protection of human rights, the precarious situation deteriorated even further during the conflict, with summary executions and targeted attacks motivated by religious or tribal affiliation, violence against women and girls, the recruitment of child soldiers, and so on. In short, human rights violations of every stripe have been committed, and we must find ways and means of stopping them.”

  7. “The Sele'ka offensive has destroyed law enforcement. The forces of defence and security - the gendarmerie, the police and the army - have disintegrated. Despite repeated calls for the old forces of defence and security to go back to work, so far only a small number of officers ofthe army and police have rejoined the ranks. Although Seleka took control of all political and military levers of the country after seizing power, it cannot restore order. Despite the efforts of the Government in the fields of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and security sector reform, its results have not been commensurate with its investment.”

  8. “The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) thrives in lawless areas and remains a threat to security and the rule of law, having killed at least seven people and carried out kidnappings in the reporting period. At the same time, a leader ofthe group has been killed and some of its fighters have defected. Uganda had at one point announced the suspension of its monitoring activities in LRA area of activities following a statement by the Head of State of the transition, but reversed its decision following an agreement reached between the various institutions engaged in the hunt for Joseph Kony and his men. We note that the Se'leka offensive destroyed a large part of the country's judicial system and administrative infrastructure, including town halls. That will ultimately raise questions about voting lists in the electoral process ahead.”

  9. “Bangui is witnessing an alarming situation, where the looting and pillaging of houses has reached an unprecedented and unimaginable level, setting the country back several decades. All of this has been accompanied by car theft and armed robbery. Schools and many businesses in Bangui have not fully reopened because of insecurity. Outside Bangui, security conditions continue to deteriorate as Seleka elements engage in vandalism, violations of human rights and attacks on the civilian population. It should be noted that the looting primarily targets non-Muslims and spares Muslims. This situation is a source of resentment in the Christian communities and inflames religious tensions. Finally, the climate of insecurity in the Central African Republic affects the stability of the entire subregion.”

  10. “Concerning the security situation and the rule of law, as we have indicated, the collapse of the State and the lack of any defence or security forces have led to a security vacuum resulting in total anarchy, with widespread violence and serious violations of human rights, including the looting of public and private property, arbitrary arrests and detentions, sexual violence against women and children, torture, rape, targeted killings, the recruitment of child soldiers and other atrocities committed by uncontrolled Se'le'ka elements and unidentified groups. Nor was the United Nations spared, as residences of both national and international staff were looted and pillaged, and vehicles stolen.”

  11. “It is clearly stated in the N'Djamena declaration that all actors involved in managing the transition, including the Head ofthe transition, the Prime Minister, the Ministers and the members of the Office of the Transitional National Council cannot present their candidature during the next presidential elections. We would note that the international community has unequivocally condemned that forcible and unconstitutional change. However, ECCAS noted the election by the National Transitional Council of Mr. Michel Djotodia as the President of the Republic and conferred upon him the title of Head of the Transition. ECCAS also recognized the legitimacy of the Prime Minister, because he was the head of the Government of National Unity established under the Libreville Agreements of 11 January 2013.”

  12. “Although the National Transitional Council was supposed to have 105 members, the ECCAS subregional authorities increased it to 135, so as to ensure the broadest representation possible in the transition management process . The illegally elected Office of the National Transitional Council should be abolished in the coming days so as to adapt to current circumstances. Here I would recall that the outlines of this political transition were sketched out by ECCAS during the various Summits held in N'Djamena on 3 and 18 April, as well as in Brazzaville, on 3 May.”

  13. “Indeed, certain incidents that have been noted continue to be worrisome for national and international public opinion and could hinder the ongoing efforts of the Government and the international community to achieve security, peace and stability in the Central African Republic and the subregion. Given that chaotic situation, which has caused deep upheaval within the State, what do we intend to do, and how shall we do it? First and foremost, on the institutional and political fronts, pursuant to the recommendations of the Extraordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government of ECCAS held in N'Djamena on April 18, in the coming days, following broad consultations, a Government will be established, a Government of national unity.”

  14. “All of those violations disrupt the daily lives of people and provide a particularly painful and disturbing illustration of the situation. Nevertheless, generally speaking, the process ofthe implementation of the structures recommended by the most recent Summit of Heads of State and Government, held in N'Djamena on April 18, has been moving forward in a manner satisfactory to Central Africans with respect to the recommendations that have been made. However, the situation remains worrisome, despite the goodwill of the Government and the efforts of the Mission for the Consolidation of Peace in the Central African Republic (MICOPAX).”

  15. “The continuing insecurity at the level of strategic infrastructure, such as fuel-storage facilities in Kolongo and facilities related to water and electricity distribution and to the dredging activities of the Ubangi river; the systematic looting of documents and bureaucratic materials from administrations, of pharmaceutical products and of medical and biomedical material from hospitals; and the destruction of production facilities, which has made it impossible for most companies to pay their tariffs and taxes to the State, poses a threat to the stability resulting from the Libreville Agreements and the decisions of successive summits of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) held in N'Djamena.”

  16. “It has been characterized by insecurity caused by the looting, rape, destruction and killings perpetrated by lawless elements of the Seleka. That also applies to those charged with protecting public and private establishments. Lack of security on the roadways and in regions has made the circulation of persons and goods impossible, thus hampering economic recovery.”

  17. “The tragedy that is gripping the Central African Republic at all levels is characterized by disturbances to the public order, violence, abuses, summary executions, rape, the recruitment of child soldiers, and crimes against World Heritage wildlife, exemplified by the incidents of poaching in Dzanga Sangha reserve last week, in which more than 20 elephants were killed. It has inevitably had a humanitarian impact, including increased insecurity. Since the taking and looting of a number of cities in the province, up until the entry of Seleka troops into the capital of Bangui on 24 March, the city of Bangui has witnessed almost three weeks of light and heavy fire, which has led to a massive displacement of people within and outside the city.”

  18. “Ban Ki-moon, for the continued support of the United Nations for the quest for peace, stability and development in this highly fragile State, beset by almost ongoing instability. Here we wish also to thank the Special Representative, Ms. Margaret Vogt, as well as all of her team. The report before us is clear and concise in its description of the situation on the ground in the Central African Republic as it was previously and is now. An tragedy of unprecedented scope is unfolding before our eyes today in this State of 4.6 million inhabitants, and we take note of this. The Central African crisis, which has long been forgotten, must once again take centre stage and be included on the agenda of the Security Council.”

  19. “Mr. Tiangaye (Central African Republic) (spoke in French): It is a great honour for me to speak before the Security Council. I should like to take this opportunity to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your country's assumption of the presidency of the Council for this month. I wish to assure you of the full support of my delegation during your term of office. I take this opportunity to pay tribute to your predecessor, the Permanent Representative of Rwanda, for the work he accomplished on his watch in April. The report of the Secretary-General (S/2013/261) to the Council represents an opportunity for me and my country an opportunity to convey the gratitude of the Central African Republic to the Secretary- General, Mr.”
