“We thank the Bolivian presidency of the Security Council and Secretary- General Guterres as briefer for drawing our attention to how natural resources have led to intense conflicts, political unrest and even the overthrow of Governments and to the urgent need to take action to maintain not only regional but also international peace and security. As a Central Asian State, we express our appreciation to the Secretary-General for including in his briefing the comment that our part of the world stands as a good example of progress being achieved through consultations among neighbouring States with the support of the United Nations. As a member observer of the African Union (AU), we fully support and associate ourselves with the statement made by the representative of cote d'Ivoire on behalf of the African troika.”

“Regional institutions should also play a key role in the quest for lasting peace and stability in the Great Lakes region. The Framework remains a viable context and platform to help the countries and institutions of the region to achieve peace and stability in line with the objectives of the Pact on Security, Stability and Development in the Great Lakes Region, Agenda 2063 of the African Union and the Silencing the Guns by 2020 initiative. Lastly, we once again express our gratitude for the visit, which enabled us to see at first hand what is happening in the country and what has been done to achieve peace and stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That is our absolute priority, and we will continue to extend our support.”

“On implementation of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Region, we positively note the enhanced cooperation by the signatory countries on security, political and economic matters, as well as the fight against impunity through judicial cooperation. Our delegation raised this matter during the Council's meeting with Prime Minister Tshibala Nzenzhe. In that regard, we welcome the outcomes of the ninth high-level meeting of the Regional Oversight Mechanism, held on 8 October in Kampala. We encourage the signatory countries to continue to increase their ownership of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework and intensify their efforts to fully implement national and regional commitments.”

“At the same time, as noted by Special Djinnit today and by Special Representative Zerrougui during our visit, we realize that good political will is needed to address the root causes. On the humanitarian front, we note with regret that the existing situation, with a large number of internally displaced persons and refugees, against the backdrop of the underfunded humanitarian response plan, has been aggravated by the outbreak of the Ebola virus, which has caused more than 100 human deaths. We commend the efforts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo authorities, with the coordinated support of the United Nations and the African Union, to fight this epidemic. However, efforts to combat the Ebola virus are significantly hampered due to the unstable security situation in the affected zones.”

“We should realize that there is no development without security, but also that there is no security without development. We believe that in the foreseeable future, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General should have a designated deputy who would have oversight over, and be responsible for, development and the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In that vein, we would like to stress the importance of the threefold approach to addressing conflicts, which is intended to be a global model. Its components are as follows: building capacity for the interlinkages between security and development while promoting the SDGs; a revamped and innovative regional approach; and the One United Nations principle, based on the holistic modus operandi of our Organization.”

“We welcome the assurances of President Kabila, who, during the seventy-third session of the General Assembly (see A/73/PV.7) and during the Council's visit said that the elections would be held on time, that every necessary step will be taken to ensure peaceful and credible elections and that he takes it very seriously. In that regard, we underline that the support provided by the United Nations and the African Union is of crucial importance. Although the elections are an important step in stabilizing the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, they are only a part of the solution. In that vein, we would like to stress the importance of further security-sector reforms, together with the decentralization and consolidation of State authority and the socioeconomic development of the country.”

“We call on the authorities of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to continue implementing measures to create conditions conducive to holding credible and transparent elections with the meaningful participation of women in the process. Further efforts must be made by all key political actors to establish a constructive and inclusive inter-Congolese dialogue to achieve political progress and build confidence in the electoral process. We commend the committed determination of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Government to assume full responsibility for funding the elections. We therefore encourage all national authorities to continue cooperating with the Independent National Electoral Commission to provide the necessary resources.”

“Kazakhstan therefore calls on Member States to support the Democratic Republic of the Congo in addressing the challenge posed by terrorism. We should recognize that this important country is a significant partner in our global effort aimed at the overall goal of achieving a world free of terrorism. On the political front, we underline the progress made by the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in preparing for elections according to the electoral calendar. This nationally owned process should be held with respect for the sovereignty, political independence, territorial integrity and unity of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We reiterate the importance of the implementation by all parties of the political agreement of 31 December 2016.”

“On the counter-terrorism front, we would like to recall that, during our visit, President Kabila Kabange, Prime Minister Tshibala Nzenzhe and Vice-Prime Minister Mova Sakanyi stressed the importance of fighting terrorism and expressed regret that the members of the Council had not included the issue in their remarks. In particular, the Head of State underlined that terrorism has threatened the Democratic Republic of the Congo for 30 years now. Terrorists have extended their tentacles into the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa, Mozambique, Somalia, Ethiopia, Uganda and many other African countries. President Kabila emphasized, "We are losing our precious population, but we will continue to fight this evil".”

“We commend the work of MONUSCO in developing Mission-wide strategies to address the issue of attacks by armed groups and thereby implement the protection-through-projection strategy. The Mission's comprehensive approach to the protection of civilians, including the concept of operations of the Mission's force and police components, becomes even more important in preventing risks linked to violence intended to impede the upcoming elections. We also welcome MONUSCO'S continued support to the peace processes on a provincial level, thereby addressing the underlying causes of intercommunal violence by advancing peace through awareness-raising campaigns with the full engagement of local leaders, women and youth.”

“We note and appreciate the coordinated and important work they do. They have a large and complex agenda, and we see the different and unique ways in which they contribute. As an observer at the African Union, we express our solidarity and associate ourselves with the statements of the African troika to be delivered today. I would like to make the following observations. On the security front, we note with regret the renewed intercommunal violence and activities of armed groups, which exacerbate the already dire humanitarian situation, thereby leading to mass displacement of innocent Congolese people. We strongly condemn all attacks on the civilian population, peacekeepers and humanitarian and health workers and call on all local and foreign armed groups to lay down their weapons.”

“We thank the Congolese national authorities and the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) team for hosting the Council's delegation, as well as the Department of Political Affairs, the Security Council Affairs Division, the Department of Safety and Security, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and others for arranging that visit so efficiently under difficult circumstances. We pay tribute to the brave women and men of MONUSCO who risk their lives in hazardous conditions. It is one ofthe largest peacekeeping operations in history and has been serving the host country with courage and selflessness. We see Leila and Said's dedication and loyalty to their duty, which have received international recognition. They have complex mandates and have given us many lessons to learn.”

We also welcome the delegation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the Chamber. At the outset, we would like to note that the recent mission of the Council provided an opportunity to receive first-hand information and a deeper understanding of the situation on the ground, and express support to the Government and people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

“We urge the international community to stand ready to support Colombia in its priority goal to bring about peace and accord to all Colombians. We also look forward to a definitive bilateral ceasefire with the National Liberation Army, which would end decades of armed conflict for good. Lastly, Kazakhstan pledges to do its best in the context of multilateral efforts to bring about peace and progress in Colombia.”

“Furthermore, harnessing innovative approaches and strategies, utilizing confidence-building measures, building trust, engaging in practical disarmament and non-proliferation, addressing the scourge of terrorism, promoting the rule of law, creating the potential for interlinkages between security and development, including at the regional level, supporting crop- substitution policies and rural reform, as well as providing security guarantees to vulnerable groups, will secure the gains achieved thus far. We are confident that it will definitely be conducive to the success of the peace process. We therefore call on all parties involved to comply with their obligations and work in the interest of security and stability.”

“We are aware of the obstacles caused by the threat of dissident and paramilitary groups that intend to take control of former FARC-EP territories. We are also deeply concerned about the continued violence committed against social leaders, community activists and human rights defenders. In addition, the current vulnerable security situation and socioeconomic reintegration of former FARC-EP combatants and their family members could very well jeopardize their reincorporation into society. However, it is our strong belief that, despite existing setbacks and impediments, the continued commitment of Colombia's new Administration to fighting corruption and guaranteeing the more effective socioeconomic and political reintegration of former FARC-EP rebels into society will bring about positive results.”

“The nomination by President Ivan Duque of top Colombian officials to revitalize the Government's participation in the tripartite commission that monitors the country's peace process with the demobilized guerrillas of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia-Ej ercito del Pueblo (FARC-EP) demonstrates the Government's sincere intentions to implement the peace agreement. In that context, we particularly commend the adoption on 23 August of a broad-based seven-point national pact for life and for the protection of social leaders and human rights defenders. Nevertheless, we acknowledge that no peace process is an easy task to implement at once. To succeed, the firm commitment and participation of all stakeholders are required. Obviously, the Colombian peace process is no exception or any different.”

“At the outset, I join my colleagues in welcoming His Excellency Mr. Carlos Holmes Trujillo, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Colombia, to the Security Council. My delegation also thanks Special Representative Jean Arnault for his informative and much needed briefing. Kazakhstan welcomes the unanimous extension of the mandate of the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia to 25 September 2019. We commend the Mission's continued hard work on the ground and reiterate our full support for its work in securing the Final Agreement for Ending the Conflict and Building a Stable and Lasting Peace and ensuring lasting peace and reconciliation in Colombia. We welcome the commitment of the Government of Colombia to implementing the peace deal in order to bring stability and security to the country.”

We also endorse the recommendation of Special Representative of the Secretary-General Haysom to undertake confidence-building measures. We thank him for his exemplary work and cordially congratulate him on his new appointment. We wish him all the best and look forward to dialogue and trust being restored throughout the Horn of Africa region, which will have been made possible by his noble and tireless efforts.”

“The international community should make every effort to build trust and confidence among the parties and provide adequate and sustained funding for humanitarian assistance, peacebuilding and economic development. For their part, the South Sudanese parties need to demonstrate genuine political will in order to implement the Agreement, stop the ongoing violence by bringing their forces under control and strictly comply with international humanitarian law. Civil society, especially women and youth groups, also have an important role in assisting with intercommunal reconciliation and confidence-building among local populations. Thirdly, we strongly condemn the recent attack on the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) in Yei and call on the Government to investigate the attack and hold the perpetrators accountable.”

“We highly commend the concerted work of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the African Union and the United Nations, as well as the mediation efforts of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia, and of Presidents Omar Al-Bashir of the Sudan and Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, which helped to secure the peace deal. The Agreement has become a great example of the cherished notion of African solutions for African problems. Secondly, we hope that this historic Agreement, signed after five years offighting, will lay the foundation for durable peace and stability in the country and finally end the suffering of the South Sudanese people. To achieve that, the Security Council needs to remain united in support of IGAD, the African Union and the parties in South Sudan in implementing the provisions of the Agreement.”

We also commend Grace John, civil society representative, for her valuable insights. My country welcomes the recent report of the Secretary-General (S/2018/83l) and would like concentrate on three key issues, as follows. First of all, our delegation would like to congratulate the people and the Government of South Sudan for finalizing the revitalized Peace Agreement on 12 September.”

“We therefore note and welcome the coordinated efforts of the stakeholders - United Nations agencies, non-governmental organizations and the Gulf countries - to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Al-Hudaydah. Kazakhstan salutes the selfless work of the humanitarian partners who have been providing food, water, emergency kits, cash and health care. To our deep regret, 75 per cent of the Yemeni population still require protection from malnutrition, cholera and other diseases, which have killed or afflicted thousands ofcivilians, especially after a very hot summer season. Against that background, we express hope that critical health infrastructure, and in particular reproductive health centres, sanitation facilities and water plants and stations that supply water to the population, will be thoroughly protected.”

“Undoubtedly, the diplomatic moves led by the Special Envoy have helped Yemen a great deal, and Al-Hudaydah in particular. Kazakhstan supports the efforts of interested countries and parties to reach a political path through negotiations for a full and fair settlement, including at the political consultations in Geneva. Only such an approach could preserve the sovereignty, independence and unity of Yemen and realize the interests and aspirations of its people. Secondly, with regard to the humanitarian dimension, we voice our support for the United Nations repeated calls on all parties to safeguard civilian lives, prevent deaths and injuries, allow the freedom of movement and protect hospitals, clinics and schools. That should be in accordance with relevant types of international law.”

“First, on the political track, we note the importance of continuing to strive towards sustainable peace, conflict prevention and resolution through political and diplomatic means, including confidence-building measures, as mentioned today by the Special Envoy and the Permanent Representative of Sweden, and which are also very important to us, as the country that created the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-building Measures in Asia, an organization for confidence-building measures in Asia. That would foster trust by bringing the parties together around the common goals of peace and development. We are closely following the recent United Nations diplomatic efforts in Geneva, Sana'a and Riyadh, and soon in Muscat, to persuade the warring parties to return to the difficult but much-needed negotiations.”

“As the United Nations system prepares for a smooth and effective transition towards sustainable development, we also call for the different United Nations entities on the ground and the Headquarters to continue working as One United Nations through a more integrated and coordinated approach. In conclusion, we strongly believe that the Government, the Mission, the United Nations country team and all international and regional partners must continue to work together to plan for the transition and beyond. It will be essential to anticipate, address and mitigate all challenges that may emerge from the transition to a non-peacekeeping United Nations presence in Haiti.”

“We fully support the Secretary-General's observation in his latest report (S/2018/795) that the violent events of July underscored the importance of building broad- based political support to implement key economic reforms, which are basic prerequisites for the long-term stability of Haiti. Against that background, the joint efforts of the international community to achieve progress will be essential to consolidating the stability gains and establishing a strong foundation for long-term political stability, security and development. Kazakhstan encourages the Government to foster greater cooperation with regional organizations, particularly the Caribbean Community and the Organization of American States, with a View to identifying and leveraging new opportunities for partnership.”

“Kazakhstan commends the efforts undertaken by President Moise and his Government to promote stability, security, economic development and social changes in the country. The Haitian Government's reiterated call for the need to more closely align international development assistance with those national priorities is commendable. At the same time, while recognizing the significant progress achieved in improving the political and security environment, some key issues have yet to be addressed in a number of priority areas, such as fighting against cholera, the severe overcrowding of prisons, enacting anti-corruption measures and ensuring financial and economic stability, food security and the stabilization of the humanitarian situation.”

Back in April, the Security Council voted to extend the mandate of the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH) for one year (see S/PV.8226). We would like to take this opportunity to commend the Mission's work in launching a number of important projects and initiatives, inter alia, supporting the rule of law, contributing to the continuing development of the Haitian National Police and protecting human rights.”

“My delegation believes that despite today's adoption of resolution 2428 (2018), it is critically important to ensure that the Council remains united in its support for the efforts of IGAD and the African Union to achieve peace and stability in South Sudan. We must all stand up for a greater role for regional organizations in the Security Council's work and support them in their efforts to achieve progress. We also urge the Government and opposition in South Sudan to work proactively and genuinely to implement the agreement and continue their inclusive and constructive peace talks to resolve the outstanding issues relating to governance and security arrangements. As an observer member of the African Union, we want to express our solidarity with the position expressed by the representatives of Ethiopia and Equatorial Guinea.”

We want to point out that on 30 June the IGAD Council of Ministers decided that it was not helpful to pursue punitive measures at this stage. We highly commend the concerted efforts of the United Nations, the African Union and IGAD, as well as the mediation efforts of the countries of the region that helped to secure the Khartoum Declaration.”

“No discussion of mines would be complete without considering victims who must be given immediate medical attention, in addition to prostheses, long- term rehabilitation and reintegration into society. Reintegration should include vocational training and job opportunities to lead normal, productive lives. Kazakhstan has considerable experience in mine clearance, having neutralized more than 4.5 million explosive devices in Iraq. My country has also developed and provided intensive specialized training to Iraqi security forces, thereby enhancing their capacity to counter the threat of mines and explosives. That, in turn, has also become an area of special expertise. In that connection, Kazakhstan has established and is constantly upgrading its national demining centre and its K9 centre.”

“The high death toll among our peacekeepers due to landmines and improvised explosive devices dictates that ensuring their safety and security must be our priority. Consequently, it is essential to equip our peacekeepers and provide them with in-depth, comprehensive and appropriate training, both predeployment and during missions. We therefore welcome the fact that UNMAS has developed and is implementing a comprehensive framework to mitigate the threat of improvised explosive devices that has contributed to reducing the casualty rate. Member States should also support the mine action response of the United Nations through predictable, un-earmarked funding for the purposes of long-term planning and programming.”

As a preventive measure, education about the risk, safety and identification of mines and improvised explosive devices is most essential at all levels and segments of society. We welcome the work of UNMAS with female risk- education volunteers to spread lifesaving education to women, who play a critical role in instilling safe behaviour among their children and peers. Women and young people have proven to be great catalysts for change and action.”

Itisimportantforallrelevantstakeholders-Member States, United Nations regional and subregional organizations, and international partners - to streamline efforts to protect civilians and include mine action in their mandates and programmes.

“(spoke in English) The contamination of mines and explosives, remnants of war and conflicts affects civilian populations, United Nations operations and global peace and security. The alarming rate of conflicts utilizing explosive devices necessitates a more robust response in order to provide urgent humanitarian mine action assistance. We are also witness to the growing use of improvised explosive devices by terrorist groups against civilians, our peacekeepers and humanitarian personnel, who must be protected from such tragedies. Resolution 2365 (2017), ably introduced by Bolivia in June 2017, is of vital importance and is the first of its kind as a stand-alone resolution on mine action. It is a sine qua non for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Secretary-General's new agenda for peace.”

We also expect that a revised bridging proposal will be concluded by the end of the current Khartoum talks. We also believe that political negotiations should take place in parallel with intercommunal reconciliation and confidence-building among local populations, as well comprehensive strategies in economic development and resilience-building, with the full engagement of women and youth. With regard to the upcoming negotiations on the renewal of the South Sudan sanctions regime, we look forward to receiving the report of the Secretary- General requested in resolution 2418 (2018).”

“The conflict has ruined the economy and millions of people have fled their homes in order to survive. Military action has intensified ahead of the rainy season and there is widespread violence against civilians. Aid workers and the personnel of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) have remained but the humanitarian aid operation remains disrupted and nearly half of the population suffers from starvation and malnutrition. Against that backdrop, Kazakhstan hopes that the peace agreement will help build trust between the South Sudanese parties and prevent further escalation of the humanitarian and economic crisis in South Sudan. We are pleased to hear that President Kiir and Mr. Machar have respectfully committed to implementing the agreement. We expect that their words will become deeds.”

At the same time, we recall that the Security Council, in paragraph 2 of resolution 2231 (2015), calls on all Member States as well as regional and international organizations to support the implementation of the JCPOA and refrain from actions that undermine the realization of the commitments under that agreement. To conclude, I would like to congratulate the Facilitator, Ambassador Karel van Oosterom of the Netherlands, on his first briefing and to commend his committed and tireless efforts to ensure that resolution 2231 (2015) fulfils its objectives.”

“Furthermore, we would still like to see the fifth report (S/2018/602) presented in its most complete and comprehensive form, namely, by including both annexes of resolution 2231 (2015). Due attention has not been given to the content and provisions of annex A, which is the JCPOA. In order to give greater importance and proper political significance to the JCPOA, we suggest that resolution 2231 (2015), with both its annexes, be fully covered in future. In addition, we note that notifications by some States Members of the United Nations in the report do not contain complete and irrefutable evidence that proves that Iran has violated the provisions of resolution 2231 (2015).”
