  1. “It will be particularly important to ensure that the agreements forged by Russia and Turkey - along with resolution 2328 (2016), adopted on 19 December - form an integral part of the determined efforts of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, establishing once and for all the conditions and standards for all the national, regional and international stakeholders and supporting the peace process. With the adoption of today's resolution, Venezuela leaves the Security Council proud of having helped the Syrian people to reach this important moment. We congratulate you, Mr. President, on the success of your presidency, and we thank the Secretariat for all the support it has given us over the past two years.”

  2. “Mr. Toro-Carnevali (Bolivian Republic of Venezuela) (spoke in Spanish): We are greatly encouraged by the Council's unanimous adoption today of resolution 2336 (2016), submitted by the Russian Federation and Turkey in support of the urgent call by the Syrian people and the international community for a cessation of hostilities on the ground and a speedy start to negotiations for a political settlement that can provide a comprehensive peaceful solution to the conflict in Syria. In that regard, we welcome the meeting to be held in Astana at the end of January between the Syrian Government and the opposition, and we wish it every success.”

  3. “The solution to this crisis is a political one and we will continue to insist on that approach. Our vote today should be interpreted in no way as condoning the behaviour of the parties in South Sudan or as indifference to the need to protect civilians and their rights, but rather as a call for caution so as to not repeat past mistakes.”

  4. “Furthermore, we do not have clear information on the details of the implementation of the resolution, including who will participate using what resources, and how exactly the measures envisioned in the mandate will be implemented. We hope that the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of South Sudan will be fully respected. We are of the view that if we are to protect the people of South Sudan and to ensure a lasting and sustainable solution to the conflict, we will need more diplomacy and dialogue and fewer of the threats and sanctions offered by the resolution. In our view, that was the spirit of the decisions adopted by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, with the support of the African Union, and that is the tone that we hoped to maintain in the resolution.”

  5. “Nevertheless, we are concerned that the resolution 2304 (2016) was drafted without consulting South Sudan's Transitional Government of National Unity, which, in its letter of 9 August 2016, stated that the approval of the resolution "would strengthen foreign forces under UNMISS, in addition to the deployment of a regional protection force, in preparation for an invasion of South Sudan, and its relegation to the status of a protectorate of the United Nations". The deployment of such a force without the consent of the host State could make the situation on the ground even more tense and violent. In these conditions, we are not convinced that the deployment of a regional protection force would result in the attainment of our common goal - the immediate end of violence and the protection of civilians.”

  6. “Mr. Toro-Carnevali (Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela) (spoke in Spanish): We are deeply concerned about the deteriorating situation in South Sudan. We believe that it is necessary to put an immediate stop to the violence and we are troubled by the difficult situation faced by the South Sudanese people. We condemn the fact that the parties are not honouring their obligations under human rights law or their agreement to resolve the conflict in the Republic of South Sudan. We stress that we firmly and steadfastly advocate for the protection of the civil population.”

  7. “We therefore call upon the parties to strictly abide by the obligations relating to their protection, including the need to ensure access for humanitarian assistance to residents, internally displaced persons and refugees in the affected areas. We reject violence, ethnic and political persecution and acts of terrorism, regardless of who commits them. Any incident should be independently investigated, with evidence being provided to support the conclusions of such investigations. Finally, we call on all parties to work with conviction in efforts to achieve ajust and lasting political solution that is in their own interest and in that of the entire region.”

  8. “All parties should continue working to address the structural causes of the crisis, in order to achieve a firm and lasting peace. Any effort to manage the situation will succeed as long as there is dialogue and support for direct negotiations, and the parties show political will using the Minsk agreements as a guide. Venezuela is convinced and has argued in various forums of the Organization that the application of unilateral coercive sanctions are contrary to international law. In that context, we believe that the current sanctions are counterproductive to the desire for peace and stability in the region and are eroding the climate for dialogue necessary to restoring trust between the parties. In any conflict, civilians are the most affected by violence.”

  9. “On 5 April 2016, the representatives of the countries of the Minsk Group of the OSCE condemned the resurgence of violence and further stated that "there is no military solution to the conflict". Also, the joint statement after the ministerial meeting of the OSCE Troika on 12 April expressed "deep concern at reports of increasing numbers of violations of the ceasefire and the presence of heavy weapons in the area security in eastern Ukraine". Furthermore, they rejected the incidents involving the monitors of the Special Monitoring Mission. Venezuela remains convinced that a military escalation and spread of the conflict should be avoided, for which the support of the international community and strict compliance with the Minsk agreements and resolutions of the Council are required.”

  10. “That is why we reiterate our conviction that the full implementation of resolution 2202 (2015), in support of the decision by the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, France and Germany on 12 February 2015 in Minsk, is the fundamental basis for the consolidation of efforts to encourage the parties to work together towards a political and peaceful solution to the Ukrainian crisis. In that context, our country considers the ongoing work of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in support of the effective implementation of the Minsk agreements to be a positive step forward and has been following the recent violent events in the Donbas region with great attention.”

  11. “Mr. Toro-Carnevali (Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to welcome the presence of the Assistant Secretary- General for Political Affairs, Mr. Taye-Brook Zerihoun, and Ambassadors Apakan and Sajdik. The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has on many occasions expressed its strict adherence to the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, wherein the peaceful settlement of disputes and direct dialogue between the parties are an essential component.”
