In that regard, he added, the international community must mobilize around regional efforts with strengthened coordination and cooperation.
In the ensuing debate, which followed the Council's renewal on March 27 of the mandate of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), several speakers drew a link between the forthcoming elections and improving the lives of millions in the wider Great Lakes region.
Many drew attention to other challenges, too, including human rights abuses, the humanitarian situation in the east of the DRC and the flow of refugees and internally displaced persons.
French permanent representative to the UN, Francois Delattre, emphasized the importance of elections in the DRC and a peaceful handover of power, stating that regional stability is at stake.
Respect for human rights and the electoral calendar is key, he asserted, underscoring the role of regional organizations as well as the need to confront armed groups and the illicit trafficking in natural resources.
Also speaking were representatives of Britain, Russia, China, Cote d'Ivoire, Kazakhstan, Sweden, Kuwait, Netherlands, Bolivia, Poland and Peru.
