Statement of Central African Republic at the UNGA72

DRC: Other hotspots of tension are rampant in the Pool region of the Republic of the Congo and to the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with these harmful repercussions on our neighbouring countries.

Sustainable Peace: Our plea as has, just as I have pointed out, to an unprecedented mobilisation of international solidarity in favour of CAR to ensure the implementation of the Plan of Recovery and Consolidation of Peace in the Central African Republic.

Sustainable Peace: In order to give full strength to the peace process, the reinforcement and coherence of our approach and united support of our friends, will allow us to be supported in the work of harmonisation of all peace efforts in the CAR which have resulted in the roadmap for peace and the reconciliation of the Central African Republic.

Conflict prevention: It concerns, in this first phase, 40 ex-combattants for each of the 13 of 14 armed groups. We have planned it out so that the success of this pilot project is a vivid expression of our commitment to peace, for our faith in peace is unshakable!

Militarisation: At the same time, we have worked on the reconstruction of a national army, presentable and professional in the sector of reforms and security, that is guided by the National Security Policy based on the achievements of a political consensus and taking into account threats to security, and the principal values of the Republic, guided by the state in its mission to ensure security for all.

SDG 16: For example, in the area of Justice and Human Rights, our efforts are have been focused mainly on the operalization of the Special Penal Court, the training of prison guards and the improvement of certain judicial facilities and penitentiaries.  

Sustainable peace: With the support of our partners, we have accelerated the operationalization of local peace and reconciliation committees for an active animation of spaces of dialogue so that the communities have the basis to be supported in their efforts to restore social cohesion, highlighting the major elements essential to the renewal of harmoniously living together.

Conflict prevention: This is why, on behalf of the people of the Central African Republic, I would like to solemnly invite the Security Council, the political sector of the United Nations world peace, to use their means to improve our defense and security, to create the conditions in order to return to peace and security in the Central African Republic in order to consolidate democratic acquisitions.

SDG 16: I will equally engage in the building of reconciliation and justice.
