Mr. Rycroft
The United Kingdom welcomes the adoption of resolution 2312 (2016), which renews the mandate of the European Union’s Operation SOPHIA for an additional 12 months. I am proud of the United Kingdom’s role as penholder, and I am grateful to those Security Council delegations that supported the resolution today.
It is a vital renewal. The migration crisis remains one of our greatest shared challenge…
Mr. Ramírez Carreño
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela abstained in the voting on resolution 2312 (2016), which extends for an additional year the mandate of resolution 2240 (2015), on the illicit smuggling of migrants and human trafficking in the Mediterranean Sea.

Just last week, more than 250 people — including children as young as 4 — drowned after their …

France welcomes the adoption of resolution 2312 (2016), which extends for 12 months the mandate on which the EUNAVFOR Med Operation Sophia is based, to fight against migrants on the high seas off the coast of Libya. I thank the British penholder for the very effective work done on this issue. Throughout the negotiations, the resolution enjoyed the full support of the European Union members of the…
Mr. Elmajerbi
At the outset, allow me to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of Security Council for this month. We are fully confident in your ability to conduct the work of the Council successfully and skilfully.
