1. “We regret that the authors of the draft resolution did not refer to that well-founded description of the situation. Moreover, one of the important causes behind the deterioration of the situation and the rampant terrorism in the States of the region was not mentioned, namely, the irresponsible policy of interfering in the internal affairs of neighbouring States, in particular Libya. Like others, we have repeatedly asked our United Kingdom colleagues not to rush the adoption of the resolution simply because the mandate of their presidency was ending, but they did not listen to us. The final document is therefore partially unfinished and unbalanced. We hope that our comments will be taken into consideration with regard to future work.”

2. “Mr. Zalyalov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): The Russian delegation voted in favour of resolution 2349 (2017), on the situation in the Lake Chad basin, owing to the importance of maintaining consensus in the Security Council and given that the language of the document was acceptable to the representatives of the region. However, we believe that it is necessary to stress that not all of our comments and arguments were incorporated into the text of the resolution. First of all, we believe that is inaccurate to consider the situation in the Lake Chad basin a conflict. Boko Haram was included in the Security Council's list of terrorist organizations. In March 2015, the group proclaimed its allegiance to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. That means that combating the group is, above all, a counter-terrorism operation.”
