S/RES/2364 (2017)
Recognizing the recent progress achieved for the implementation of the
Agreement, including the holding of a Conference d’Entente nationale in March
2017 and the establishment of all interim administrations in the North, while
expressing its deep concern over the persistent delays for its full implementation
two years after it was concluded, and highlighting the pressing need to deliver
tangible and visible peace dividends to the population in the North and other parts
of Mali in order to keep the momentum of the Agreement,
Urging the Government of Mali, the Plateforme and Coordination armed
groups to take urgent and concrete action to fully and sincerely deliver on their
obligations under the Agreement without further delay, including obligations not
implemented during the Interim period, in particular regarding the concrete
activities of the interim authorities installed in the northern regions, the reform of
the security sector, the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process, the
revision of the constitution through an inclusive and consultative dialogue, the fight
against impunity as well as a genuine reconciliation process,
Stressing the need for the Government of Mali, the Plateforme and
Coordination armed groups, following the Conference d’Entente nationale, to make
further progress towards the agreement and adoption of a Charter for Peace, Unity
and National Reconciliation, through an inclusive and consultative d ialogue,
Taking note of the upcoming holding of district, regional, legislative and
presidential elections, municipal by-elections and a constitutional referendum in
2017 and 2018, stressing the need for these elections to be free, fair and inclusive,
and further stressing the need to ensure adequate coordination of the electoral
process with the implementation of the Agreement,
Welcoming the adoption by the Government of Mali, in January 2016, of
Mali’s second National Action Plan for the implementation of the Security Council
resolution 1325 (2000), further welcoming in this regard the adoption by the
Government of Mali, in December 2015, of a law requiring a 30 per cent quota for
women in national institutions, and encouraging its implementation,
Affirming its intention to facilitate, support and follow closely the
implementation of the Agreement, commending the role played by Algeria and other
members of the international mediation team to assist the Malian parties to
implement the Agreement, and emphasizing the need for increased engagement by
the members of the international mediation team,
Expressing concern about the volatile security situation, especially the
expansion of terrorist and other criminal activities into central and southern Mali as
well as the intensification of intercommunal violence in the Centre of Mali,
Noting that the slow progress in the implementation of the Agreement,
particularly its defence and security provisions, as wel l as the delayed restructuring
of the security sector, have hampered efforts to restore security in the North of Mali,
and stressing the primary responsibility of the Government of Mali, the Plateforme
and Coordination armed groups to accelerate the implementation of the Agreement
in order to improve the security situation across Mali and to forestall attempts by
terrorist groups to derail the implementation of the Agreement,
Noting the lack of progress in the creation and operationalization mechanisms
to promote reconciliation and justice, including the Commission of Inquiry as well
as the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission, and expressing concerns that
this delay risks creating a culture of impunity by allowing human rights abuses and
violations to go unaddressed,
