Mr. Cohen
The United States welcomes the Security Council’s support for renewing the South Sudan sanctions regime, including the arms embargo. If there is to be any chance for lasting peace in South Sudan, we must stop the flow of weapons used to fuel the conflict and terrorize civilians and take action against those responsible for undermining the peace.
We are disappointed that resolution 2471 (2019) di…
Mr. Matjila
South Africa abstained in today’s voting on resolution 2471 (2019) in the firm view that the sanctions imposed on South Sudan at this time are not helpful to the current complex political process. The region, through the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), continues to assert that sanctions are not useful to the political process.
South Africa appeals to the Council to heed and su…
Mr. Adom
Côte d’Ivoire welcomes the holding of this meeting on the renewal of the sanctions regime for South Sudan. My delegation decided to abstain in the voting on resolution 2471 (2019) for the following reasons. On 12 September 2018, after several years of conflict, the warring parties in South Sudan signed the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan. Tha…
Mr. Polyanskiy
The Russian delegation was not able to support the technical resolution 2471 (2019) proposed by the
United States delegation, which extends the sanctions regime for South Sudan in an unchanged form. We are against the automatic extension of sanctions and urge for basing decisions on the situation on the ground in every such case. The situation in South Sudan is steadily stabilizing.
We welcome …
Ms. Wronecka
Poland welcomes the adoption of resolution 2471 (2019), renewing the sanctions regime on South Sudan for another year. We regret that the Council was unable to reach consensus on it, however. We would like to thank the United States for its efficient conduct of the negotiations on the document.
As Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 2206 (2015) concerning South Sudan, we su…
Mr. Yao Shaojun
The political process towards peace in South Sudan has made significant progress since the end of last year. At present, with the joint support of the African Union (AU), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), countries of the regional and the international community at large, the South Sudanese Government and major political parties are demonstrating unprecedented resolve and goo…
Mr. Pecsteen de Buytswerve
Belgium welcomes the extension of the sanctions regime, including the arms embargo, and the extension of the mandate of the Panel of Experts on South Sudan. The sanctions regime continues to be part of the measures that are needed to contribute to the stabilization of South Sudan. We appreciate the progress made by the parties in the peace process. However, a great deal of work remains to be done…
Mr. Heusgen
I will start where my Belgian colleague left off and thank you, Mr. President, for presiding very successfully over the Security Council during the month of May. I have my batik shirt ready for the party tonight.
Last month, Germany kept the curtains open throughout its Council presidency last month. We see that there has been some pushback. We hope that under the Kuwaiti presidency, there will …
The President
I thank the representative of Germany for his reference to the curtains. There was no pushback; it was a precautionary measure.
Mr. Singer Weisinger
As the representative of Germany said, the situation is being brought under control. Why make a change now, rather than waiting for it be further consolidated?
The Dominican Republic voted in favour of resolution 2471 (2019). We are of the view that although it is true that there is an atmosphere of relative calm, with a significant decrease in incidents of violence, and although there has been …
Mrs. Gueguen
France welcomes the adoption of resolution 2471 (2019), which extends the sanctions regime against South Sudan, a country with a civilian population that has been tragically tried and tested by violence. France shares the opinion expressed by the other European members of the Security Council. The sanctions regime continues to be an especially important tool that contributes to stabilizing South …
Mr. Albanai
Kuwait voted in favour of resolution 2471 (2019), on extending the sanctions regime as provided for in resolution 2206 (2015), although we would have liked to see its unanimous adoption.
We call upon South Sudan to continue the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan and to expedite it. We also call upon the signatory parties t…
Mr. Hickey
The United Kingdom welcomes today’s adoption of resolution 2471 (2019). As a member of the troika, we stand firm in our support for peace in South Sudan and for the progress made to date, especially efforts from the region led by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development to ensure that the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan continues to red…
Mr. Ndong Mba
I would like to begin by extending our sincere congratulations to you, Mr. President, for the successful way in which have presided over the Security Council during the month of May.
We must all agree that since last year there has been an active effort made towards achieving peace in South Sudan through dialogue, the political will of the parties concerned and, above all, the intermediary effor…
The President
I shall make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Indonesia.
Indonesia acknowledges that the South Sudanese parties continue to make progress in their implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan, including their adherence to a permanent ceasefire, the reconstitution of various key institutions and ongoing confidence-…
