  1. “To conclude my statement, my presence at the head of a significant delegation from my country in New York, is testimony to the unequivocal will of the Central African Government and people to pursue by every possible means the paths of peace and stability, prerequisites of any sustainable development. For that reason, all goodwill, old or new, that can help us along that path is welcome in order to reach that shared goal. 11-63696”

  2. “Respect for human rights is an integral part of a democratic State. The State will ensure that respect and will spare no effort in ensuring access to justice for those who seek it. Finally, in this international context of crisis, where austerity seems to be the order of the day, the State will do its utmost to maintain and, I would say, engage in dialogue with our traditional financial partners, without whom the Central African Republic, a post-conflict and fragile State, will not be able to curb the endemic poverty affecting its population.”

  3. “That meeting not only commended the joint actions of the States of the subregion aimed at rooting out the LRA rebellion, but also demanded the departure of the Chadian armed group of Mr. Baba Ladde, who has installed himself in the centre of the country and seeks now to extend his influence to other parts of the national territory. He must leave the Central African Republic without conditions, and all legal means will be used to facilitate his departure from the Central African territory, starting with dialogue. Concerning governance and the rule of law, the Government will continue its efforts in its unwavering struggle against corruption. The same goes for improving the business climate by providing some legal certainty for investment through laws and good practices drawn up and implemented to promote that end.”

  4. “With regard to the Lord's Resistance Army, the Government will continue to fight that terrorist movement on its own and with the assistance of the subregion, the international community and those countries that have understood that that barbarous situations cannot remain the concern of just the few States that are victim to the crimes of those bandits and criminals. This is an opportunity to welcome the initiatives of the Economic Community of Central African States, the African Union, the United Nations and the United States of America, who have been present and committed alongside us on the ground. Our gratitude also goes to the organizers of the thirty-third ministerial meeting of the United Nations Standing Advisory Committee on Security Questions in Central Africa, held in Bangui from 5 to 9 December.”

  5. “The situation of greatest concern involves the foreign armed groups and road bandits, the Zaraguinas or roadblockers, who continue to operate in the north, carrying out attacks, kidnappings and the extortion of goods and money and causing the displacement of people, who have abandoned their villages, homes and fields with humanitarian consequences that can be imagined. The most appalling cases to date have been as a result of the incursions of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), led by Joseph Kony, and the presence on our territory of the Chadian rebel Baba Ladde. They pose a significant challenge for the Central African Republic at a time when internal armed groups are hampering the implementation of the Libreville Comprehensive Peace Agreement.”

  6. “The second disarmament, demobilization and reintegration phase, like reintegration, is hampered by a lack of funding, which could jeopardize all efforts to date. With regard to security sector reform, while short-term actions have been successfully launched by the Central African Government, we must nevertheless say that medium- and long-term actions requiring the assistance of our partners will be decisive; they merit the international community's special attention so as to expedite the process. The Mission for the Consolidation of Peace in the Central African Republic (MICOPAX), which is helping to shape peace and security in the Central African Republic, should gradually withdraw in stages by 2013. It will be replaced by the Central African Armed Forces.”

  7. “On the security front, on 12 June the Government signed a ceasefire and peace agreement with the Convention des patriotes pour la justice et la paix (CPJP) armed group, which calls for that group to accede to the Libreville Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2008. In June, the President of the Republic launched disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) operations that, in their first phase, enabled the demobilization of more than 4,000 former combatants in the north-west of the country, comprising largely former rebels of the Armee populaire pour la restauration de la democratie (APRD). DDR operations are ongoing in the centre-north and the north-east of the country, where the strongholds of the CPJP and Union des forces democratiques pour le rassemblement (UFDR) armed groups were situated.”

  8. “Parliament operates freely and plays its role in the service of the nation. On the political level, it is also worth recalling that a space for dialogue has been established between the Government and the various national political families. The same applies to certain bilateral and multilateral partners. The recent consultation with the political parties of the democratic opposition aimed at establishing a standing body responsible for organizing future elections, the revision of the electoral code, and continuing the dialogue with the European Union under article 8 of the Cotonou Agreement on issues of mutual interest are, in our View, the paths to follow to ensure a sustained dialogue as the basis for mutual understanding, so that, together, we can overcome the obstacles impeding the recovery of the Central African Republic.”

  9. “It is committed, in line with its capacities, means and limitations, to continue the reforms that underpin the recovery of our country, which aspires to peace, stability and development but remains very fragile. Allow me, however, to say that we face numerous challenges that could severely jeopardize the opportunity for a lasting peace in my country and the entire subregion. Since 15 March, the beginning of the mandate of the second five-year term of the President of the Republic, while we recognize that much remains to be done, at the same time we can point to significant developments on the political level,. An inclusive Government, whose members are of different and varied affiliations, with quite a significant number of women, is doing its utmost to address the pressing issues of the Central African people.”

  10. “It would be remiss for us not to extend such words of gratitude to the Chairman of the country- specific configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission on the Central African Republic, Ambassador Jan Grauls, whose commitment to the Central African cause we wish to recognize. The report of the Secretary-General (S/2011/739) that has just been presented generally sets out, with clarity, precision and concise analysis, a mostly fair picture of the Central African Republic since last July's update. We have paid careful attention to the report. The Government of the Central African Republic, which I have the honour of leading under the authority of the President of the Republic, has already noted the observations contained in the report.”

  11. “Mr. Touadera (Central African Republic) (spoke in French): Allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of December. I wish also to congratulate the Secretary-General on his reappointment to the helm of the Organization. Allow me to assure him of the support of the Central African Republic during his second term in his noble mission in the service of peace and security in our world, which is today beset by so many challenges. I wish also to congratulate Ms. Margaret Vogt for her work at the helm of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in the Central African Republic, as well as for the good relations between her Office and the Government of the Central African Republic.”
