Democratic Republic of the Congo · Day 2Judith Suminwa Tuluka
- For the DRC, it is precisely in the gap between the trust we are calling to be restored and the transformation that we hope to manage that the real impact of our international commitments is measured. Our country is at the heart of several of these transformations and sometimes at the intersection of their very contradictions. Mr. President, Few situations illustrate so painfully the gap between international commitments and lived reality as that of the east of the DRC. For more than three decades, millions of Congolese have been suffering attacks, forced displacement, and bereavement. 11:50:10

Rwanda · Day 2Justin Nsengiyumva
- Too often, the United Nations has been more effective at responding to crises than anticipating them. This is true of pandemics, of climate shocks, of technological disruption, and it is nowhere more costly than in conflicts. Eastern DRC is a clear example of that. For more than three decades, the FDLR has spread genocidal ideology, committed grave abuses in eastern DRC, and directly threatened Rwandan security, including through cross-border attacks. 11:02:44

Burundi · Day 6Right of reply
- Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, the delegation of Burundi thanks you for having given us the floor to exercise our right of reply, so that we might bring the necessary clarification to the remarks made by Rwanda. Burundi firmly repudiates the allegation issued by the delegation of Rwanda, according to which the National Defence Forces of Burundi operating in the DRC are supposedly have been aligned to the FLDR. This information has no legal foundation, has no foundation whatsoever. The presence of Burundian forces in the DRC has a clear legal underpinning. 7:37:49

- where outbreaks of violence and extreme weather events are exacerbating the populations' already precarious living conditions. The Holy See urges the international community to generously commit to meeting the immediate needs of the most at risk, especially women and children. The situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo is of concern to the Holy See, particularly the protracted crisis in the east of the country and the Ebola epidemic. The Holy See, while expressing full support for the peace processes in the country, encourages a national dialogue and calls for the urgent protection of health and humanitarian workers, unimpeded access to aid, and the strengthening of regional cooperation to address these challenges in an integrated manner. 1:55:04

Burundi · Day 2Évariste Ndayishimiye
- Mr. President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Peace remains the primary condition for development. The African Union is deeply concerned by the persistence of conflicts and crises that continue to cause massive population displacement, destroy infrastructure, and deprive millions of children of their right to education and to a better future. We are paying particular attention to the situation in the Great Lakes region, in Sudan, in the Sahel, in Somalia, and in all regions facing violence and instability. We reaffirm our commitment to seeking African solutions to African problems in accordance with international law and the United Nations Charter. 1:09:14

Iceland · Day 5Thorgerdur Katrín Gunnarsdóttir

They created Human Rights Council, OCHA, ICC, UN Women and the UNFCCC. They placed women and security on the agenda of the Security Council and recognized sexual violence as a weapon and tactic of war. 4:09:52

United Republic of Tanzania · Day 1Deogratius Ndejembi
- These developments underscore the urgent need to reaffirm multilateralism, strengthen respect for international law, and reinforce the central role of the United Nations in maintaining international peace and security. In that regard, Tanzania remains firmly committed to supporting the efforts of the UN Security Council to fulfill its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. Our commitment is demonstrated by our two terms of service on the Security Council during which we made substantive contributions to such cause. Notable achievements include the adoption of Security Council resolution 1653 in the year 2006 on the Great Lakes region and Tanzania's collaboration with Denmark in establishing the Peacebuilding Commission. 9:53:11
