  1. “Those advances clearly demonstrates the Government's commitment to democracy and stability, as does the progress on the Caravan of Change and the joint legislative agenda. We also commend the progress that has been made in the security sector, particularly the growing capacity of the Haitian National Police and its infrastructure. We will continue to encourage efforts in that area with a view to achieving the goals of its 2017-2021 strategic development plan In conclusion, Bolivia recognizes the national ownership and primary responsibility of the Government and the people of Haiti for all aspects of their country's development, and encourages MINUJUSTH to coordinate with the Government in providing it with logistical and technical experience while respecting its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.”

  2. “We urge it to appoint a replacement for the Ombudsman and to continue to strengthen Haitian institutions in order to ensure the rule of law and firm up the foundations that will enable it to achieve greater political and social cohesion and to tackle the country's current socioeconomic and development challenges. We also welcome the Government's work in establishing a permanent Electoral Council, calling on candidates for the Superior Council of the Judiciary, inviting the opposition parties to dialogue in order to discuss ways of improving the functioning of political parties and working on a road map for the security, justice, energy, education, health and farming sectors.”

  3. “With regard to sexual abuse and exploitation, we take note of the Special Representative's commitment to supporting the victims through a trust fund and to appoint a special defender in such cases. We believe those efforts should continue on the principle of zero tolerance and that those responsible for sexual abuse and exploitation should be punished. We should not omit to express our concern about the problem of children who are fatherless as a result of sexual abuse. Concerning the Government of Haiti's progress on the political front, we commend the designation of members for 140 municipal assemblies.”

  4. “It is clear that a failure on the part of the international community to meet its obligations under the new approach will significantly affect the new Mission's credibility and effectiveness. It will be important for MINUJUSTH to work on a new plan of action in that regard. We would also like to reiterate that it is also the obligation of the international community to support the Republic of Haiti in building robust water-supply, sanitation and health-care systems in order to end the cholera crisis. We call on the Members of the United Nations as a whole to support the Secretary-General's new approach and General Assembly resolution 71/161B, adopted on 13 July, which established a trust fund for that purpose, and encourage Security Council members and all States Members of the United Nations to consolidate the fund.”

  5. “In that regard, we believe that the United Nations bears some responsibility towards the cholera victims in Haiti, as we have reiterated at every Council meeting on the subject of the Council and as the Special Representative mentions in paragraph 52 of the latest report. We welcome the commitment to dealing with this crisis through the Secretary-General's new approach to the fight against cholera. The victims of cholera, which has led to the deaths of some 9,600 people since 2010, should be compensated. During the Council's visit to Haiti, the people we spoke to saw this as a key topic, given the damage that the cholera crisis did to the reputation of United Nations peacekeeping operations in Haiti.”

  6. “The mandate should also be reviewed in the light of the results and information that the Council obtained during its most recent visit to Haiti, which should serve as input for the new Mission so that when its mandate is renewed, it will be easier to understand, clearer and more specific. It should particularly be borne in mind that the Mission will be expected to accomplish a number of tasks and strategic goals over a period of two years. However, the transition should not be a reason to disregard some fundamental and as yet unresolved issues such as those of sexual exploitation and abuse, and cholera.”

  7. “We believe that the international community should be united in working together to support the country's economic and social development, bearing in mind the new challenges that the new United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH) will encounter in the security and rule-of-law sectors. That support must be given in consultation and coordination with the Haitian Government. In that regard, Bolivia supports Haiti's wish to switch the basis of the new Mission's mandate to Chapter VI of the Charter of the United Nations rather than Chapter VII, as it is currently.”

  8. “We appreciate its efforts to lay the groundwork for lasting stability and a better future for Haiti, and for establishing priorities aimed at ensuring a successful transition and an assessment of its work so that its progress to date can be reviewed, as the Secretary-General's latest report clearly reflects (S/2017/840). We also congratulate MINUSTAH's troops on their performance. I should note that Bolivia took part in this Mission and did so with professionalism, dedication and the gratitude of the Haitian people, which we are proud of. Bolivia reaffirms its commitment to the present and future of the Republic of Haiti.”

  11. “We therefore commend the call by the Southern African Development Community for the publication of an elections calendar and by the Peace and Security Council ofthe African Union for providing the Electoral Commission with the necessary resources to implement the Agreement of 31 December 2016. Bolivia urges them, the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region and the Economic Community of Central African States to hold periodic consultations with the United Nations, the African Union and other international stakeholders so as to ensure that the region and the international community support the implementation of that agreement. Finally, I would like to say that we are firmly believe that it is African initiatives and the Congolese people and their institutions who should make decisions about the future of their country.”

  12. “We also call for the adoption of an agreed-on election calendar to be published by the Independent National Electoral Commission and for the completion of voter registration, in accordance with the Agreement. As updated by 10 September, voter registration had reached 41 million, ofwhich we would like to emphasize that 48 per cent are women. We commend the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, the Special Envoy for the the Great Lakes Region and MONUSCO for using their good offices in collaboration with national political stakeholders and Government authorities to encourage implementation of the Agreement. Strengthening dialogue and cooperation with regional and subregional partners is key to preventing and settling conflicts.”

  13. “In that regard, Bolivia believes that the Comprehensive and Inclusive Political Agreement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo signed on 31 December 2016 between the Government and the opposition represents a solid foundation establishing a road map for organizing presidential elections in accordance with the country's Constitution and resolution 2277 (2016). We believe that the Agreement should be respected and supported by all stakeholders with the aim of holding peaceful, credible, inclusive and timely elections that can lead to a peaceful transfer of power. In that regard, we call on the signatories to the Agreement to create the conditions that can enable the political process to make progress and materialize.”

  14. “The current political stalemate and uncertainty about elections are crucial issues that must be resolved if we are to put an end to insecurity in the region. Progress on the political situation is essential, and we reiterate that the principles of preventive diplomacy and good offices aimed at reaching a negotiated political solution that respects the sovereignty ofthe Democratic Republic of the Congo must not be neglected. In that regard, we note the convening of a forum for reconciliation in the Kasai region in Kananga on 19 September, and we call on the parties to implement the confidence-building measures contained in the political agreement.”

  15. “Bolivia supports the political initiatives and recommendations of the Secretary-General's report (S/2017/825) on the implementation of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Region, which seeks, among other things, to have a positive effect on the plans for disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, as well as for the repatriation, resettlement and reintegration of the various insurgent groups, both Congolese and foreigners, operating within the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We also commend MONUSCO's increased efforts to bring security to civilians, and we encourage it to continue working for peace and stability in the region, in coordination with the military forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in accordance with its mandate.”

  16. “We deplore the fact that 3.8 million people have been internally displaced, an increase of 16 per cent since January, according to the Secretary-General's latest report (S/2017/824). We also condemn all actions aimed at intensifying intercommunal tensions and inciting violence, as well as any acts of sexual exploitation. We believe that all such acts, including those in which the national police have participated, should be duly investigated and the people responsible brought to justice and tried in the appropriate courts.”

  17. “We deplore the recent attack on MONUSCO by the Allied Democratic Forces, offer our deepest condolences to the families, the people and the Government of Tanzania for their loss of two members of their contingent in that attack and hope that the injured recover swiftly. We condemn the current climate of violence and the deterioration of the security situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We regret that the new areas of conflict that have emerged include disputes over access to natural resources, conflicts between armed and intercommunal groups and ethnic violence. We firmly condemn the actions that have resulted, as Mr. Sidikou mentioned, in approximately 8.5 million people, including 5.5 million children, needing humanitarian assistance.”

  20. “Bolivia is grateful to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan for the work that it has carried out in providing logistical and technical support for the Afghanistan-led process, while supporting democratic and governmental initiatives to bring about a peaceful settlement to the conflict. We reiterate the crucial importance of promoting regional cooperation as an effective way to promote security, stability and economic and social development in Afghanistan. We also wish to express our deep gratitude and appreciation for the work and carried out by various United Nations agencies throughout in providing humanitarian assistance in such a difficult context given the high risk involved in realizing their work.”

  21. “We commend the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) for the work that it continues to carry in Afghanistan by providing education and training in transit centres so as to ensure that refugees returning to their places of origin are aware of the presence and the danger of anti-personnel landmines, improvised explosive devices and explosive remnants of war. Nevertheless, the continued risk represented by anti-personnel mines, explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive devices found on the ground have been reflected in the increase in the number of victims as compared with last year's statistics. Consequently, we call for the urgent implementation of resolution 2365 (2017) and for the continued support of UNMAS in the removal of those explosive devices, which pose a threat to the security of the civilian population.”

  22. “I would be remiss ifI did not express our concern about the high number of internally displaced persons, which, according to the report of the Secretary-General, increased to more than 32,000 individuals during the period under review. That figure adds to the more than 200,000 new internally displaced persons worldwide this year. We call for the pooling of efforts to support the return of citizens and their sustainable reintegration to their countries of origin. Accordingly, international organizations must provide concrete support for Afghan refugees and internally displaced persons so as to facilitate their voluntary and safe return.”

  23. “Moreover, according to the report of the Secretary- General (S/2017/783), random constraints have been placed on the deployment of a humanitarian assistance by various parties to the conflict, and 214 incidents have been registered since January that cost the lives of 12 aid and medical workers. In that regard, we reiterate to the parties and those involved in the conflict that they must allow and ensure security and safety of civil and humanitarian installations and their staff, while avoiding identifying them as military targets, for whatever reason, and observing the principles of international humanitarian law.”

  24. “Unfortunately, there was evidence during the reporting period under review of a clear increase in the number of attacks against civilian installations, such as schools and training centres, as well as attacks against medical and humanitarian personnel and medical facilities. Between January and August alone, 86 incidents were recorded, doubling the total number of incidents reported for all of 2016, which stood at 41. In that regard, Bolivia reiterates in the strongest terms its condemnation of all terrorist acts as criminal and unjustifiable, wherever, whenever and by whomever they the are committed.”

  25. “We recall the interconnected nature of the challenges facing Afghanistan and sustainable progress in terms of security, development and governance, which are mutually reinforcing. We stress the Government's resolve to implement its four-year plan on security sector reform aimed at increasing the capability of Afghan security forces despite the current difficulties involved in sustaining them. We believe that strengthening and unifying the security forces are key elements to combating the threat of destabilization and, above all, the barbarity of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, whose attacks and criminal acts we condemn in the strongest terms possible.”
