Mr. Allen
The United Kingdom welcomes the adoption of this important resolution (resolution 2418 (2018)).
The situation in South Sudan is appalling. Thousands have been killed. More than one fifth of the population is on the verge of famine, more than half is food-insecure and a third have fled their homes. Widespread human rights abuses continue to be reported. We strongly welcome and support regional ef…
Mr. Van Oosterom
On 21 December last year, the parties to the conflict in South Sudan agreed on a cessation of hostilities. The Kingdom of the Netherlands welcomed it as a positive step towards a political solution. But it was just days, perhaps even hours, before the fighting resumed. Once again we saw the leaders of South Sudan choose war over peace, despite calls by the Security Council, the region, civil soci…
Mr. Orrenius Skau
The millions of South Sudanese caught up in this brutal conflict have waited too long for their leaders to bring about an end to the fighting. Despite the efforts of the region to broker an agreement, the parties have not made the compromises necessary to set the country on a path towards peace, reconciliation and recovery. Instead of engaging constructively and in good faith in the negotiations …
Mr. Nebenzia
The Russian delegation abstained in the voting on resolution 2418 (2018), on extending sanctions against South Sudan.
We are concerned by the security situation in the country and by the fact that, despite the December 2017 agreement, there has been continuing fighting in the country. We call on the South Sudanese parties to quickly find a compromise solution in the interests of the entire South…
Mr. Shen Bo
The South Sudanese political process is currently in a critical phase. The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the African Union (AU), and countries of the region are stepping up their mediation efforts, and various parties within South Sudan are actively engaged in dialogue and consultation. It behooves the international community to have due regard for, and carefully listen to, t…
Mr. Llorentty Solíz
Committed as it is to the people of South Sudan and to the political process led by the relevant regional organizations, Bolivia would like to explain its vote today.
Our abstention in the voting on resolution 2418 (2018) responds to specific elements that were not taken into account by the penholders with respect to the list of persons identified in the annex, which had been brought to their at…
Mr. Michon
The Security Council just adopted resolution 2418 (2018), which renews the sanctions regime on South Sudan. France voted in favour of the resolution, which should help to put an end to the violence in South Sudan and to advance the political process.
The international community and the Council could not — cannot — remain impassive in the face of the clashes on the ground in the past few months…
Mr. Umarov
Kazakhstan is deeply concerned that, despite the signing of the agreement on the cessation of hostilities, the protection of civilians and humanitarian access, as well as numerous calls from the Security Council and all signatories, we continue to receive reports of continuing military actions and flagrant violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law. Moreover, the parties to…
Mr. Malwal
Allow me to congratulate you, Madam President, at the end of your duties as the President of the Security Council for this month. Your tenure was indeed full and eventful. Also, we would like to congratulate Poland for joining the Intergovernmental Authority on Development Partners Forum. We look forward to your upcoming visit to South Sudan.
I would also like to thank the countries that have ab…
The President
There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers.
Before adjourning the meeting, I would like to convey my sincere thanks to the members of the Security Council, as this is probably the last scheduled meeting of the Council for the month of May. On behalf of my colleagues in the Polish delegation, I would like to express the sincere appreciation to all of the members of the Security Cou…
