    Summary of Discussion

    1. The Secretary-General reiterated his sincere condolences for the recent loss of Chadian peacekeepers in northern Mali. He indicated that Chad had shown courageous leadership and set a strong example for peace and security in the region through its important contribution to the United Nations Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). He expressed the UN’s appreciation for the excellent performance of Chadian soldiers within MINUSMA and commended Chad for its role in support of the Malian peace process. He underlined that the UN was determined to provide support to the Chadian contingent by improving the situation in their bases and through the provision of additional equipment. He informed the Chadian delegation that the United Nations is exploring options to increase the number of armored vehicles, pre-deployment training and collaboration with the French operation “Barkhane”. He announced that the UN would dispatch a high-level delegation to N’Djamena, Chad, to discuss these issues.

    2. President Idriss Déby Itno indicated that, while Chad was shocked by the recent killing of its soldiers, it would remain committed to pursue its cooperation with the United Nations. He deplored the “very bad” management of Chadian peacekeepers located in the most volatile and difficult regions of the north of Mali (Aguelhok, Tessalit and Kidal). He called on the UN to improve the living conditions of Chadian soldiers and to take necessary measures to enhance their protection. He suggested that a rotation of troops within MINUSMA be established to allow Chadian peacekeepers to be regularly redeployed out of this “hardship zone”. President Déby Itno insisted on the need to implement the United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel to tackle the spread of terrorism and to prevent further recruitment by these groups. He indicated that the promises made by the World Bank and the UN to the people of the region needed to materialize.

    3. The Secretary-General encouraged President Déby Itno to work with national stakeholders to ensure that progress achieved in peace consolidation is further strengthened in the country.

    4. The Secretary-General expressed concern about the threat posed by Boko Haram and sought Chad’s views on the situation in north-eastern Nigeria and its impact on peace and stability in the region.

    5. President Déby Itno indicated that he was very pessimistic about the situation in north-eastern Nigeria, adding that the Nigerian army did not have the means to contain Boko Haram. He was very concerned with Boko Haram’s new tactics of conquering territories, expanding its activities into Cameroon, and increasing recruitment. He also expressed serious concern about Boko Haram’s allegiance to the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

    6. The Secretary-General commended Chad for its active contribution, as Chair of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) and member of the Security Council, to resolve the ongoing crisis in CAR. He also welcomed the initial role played by Chadian soldiers to stabilize CAR and invited Chad to continue to cooperate and render support to stabilization efforts in CAR.

    7. President Déby Itno welcomed the launch of MINUSCA’s operations and stated that the recent resumption of economic activity in Bangui was a good sign. He regretted that the Government had little influence beyond Bangui and indicated that more dialogue was needed. He warned against pushing for elections in the CAR and stressed the need to support the ongoing transition, including financially, to allow for the expansion of state authority throughout CAR. Concerning the anti-Balaka, he mentioned the need to confine these groups to barracks and to begin DDR operations as soon as possible. He indicated that the deployment of Chadian soldiers to CAR was not an option, adding that Chadian public opinion was adamantly against it. He added that Chad was however ready to support CAR, including through the training of its soldiers and officials.

    8. resident Déby Itno expressed serious concern over the ongoing situation in Libya.

  • Le Conseil de sécurité échoue à adopter une résolution « commémorative » sur les femmes, la paix et la sécurité

    Cet après-midi, le Conseil de sécurité n’a pas réussi à s’entendre sur l’adoption d’une résolution destinée à commémorer le vingtième anniversaire de la première résolution du Conseil sur « Les femmes et la paix et la sécurité », à savoir la résolution 1325 (2000).

    Le projet de résolution présenté par la Fédération de Russie a recueilli 10  abstentions (Allemagne, Belgique, Estonie, États-Unis, France, Niger, République dominicaine, Royaume-Uni, Saint-Vincent-et-les Grenadines, Tunisie) et seulement 5 voix en sa faveur (Afrique du Sud, Chine, Fédération de Russie, Indonésie, Viet Nam).

    En raison de la pandémie de COVID-19, le Conseil de sécurité s’était déjà réuni hier par visioconférence pour son débat public annuel sur la question. Il a procédé au vote par voie de correspondance électronique. Les votes ont été envoyés au Directeur de la Division des affaires du Conseil de sécurité qui les a transmis au Président du Conseil. Le représentant de la Fédération de Russie, Président pour le mois d’octobre, a donc convoqué les membres du Conseil par visioconférence pour annoncer le résultat du vote.

    Après des négociations difficiles, il semblerait que la majorité des délégations aient renoncé à appuyer un texte qui reprenait essentiellement les termes des résolutions précédentes, sans répondre à certaines de leurs préoccupations, notamment en ce qui concerne le rôle de la société civile, les violences sexuelles à l’égard des femmes en période de conflit ou encore leurs droits à la santé sexuelle et reproductive.

    Tant qu’à commémorer le vingtième anniversaire de la première résolution sur la question des femmes et de la paix et de la sécurité, ces délégations auraient en outre penché pour un format plus percutant, l’essentiel étant la mise en œuvre du programme y relatif.

    Par ce projet de résolution, le Conseil de sécurité aurait commémoré le vingtième anniversaire de l’adoption de la résolution 1325 (2000), « occasion unique de faire le bilan des progrès accomplis à ce jour ainsi que de s’engager à faire appliquer plus avant le programme pour les femmes et la paix et la sécurité », sachant que l’année  2020 coïncide aussi avec le vingt-cinquième anniversaire de l’adoption de la Déclaration et du Programme d’action de Beijing sur les femmes.

    Conscient qu’il doit accorder une attention plus systématique au respect des engagements pris à ce sujet dans son propre travail, le Conseil aurait exhorté les États Membres « à s’engager à appliquer le programme pour les femmes et la paix et la sécurité et les priorités qui y sont fixées en assurant et en facilitant la participation pleine et véritable des femmes, sur un pied d’égalité, à toutes les étapes des processus de paix, notamment en prenant systématiquement en considération les questions de genre ».

    À l’entame de ce projet, le Conseil aurait exprimé « sa profonde inquiétude » quant à l’impact négatif disproportionné de la pandémie de COVID-19, notamment du point de vue socioéconomique, sur les femmes dans le monde, en particulier celles qui vivent dans des pays ravagés par des conflits armés ou dans des situations postconflit, et celles qui sont touchées par des crises humanitaires.
