since the M-23 mutiny started in April 2012. It
calls on all parties, in particular the M-23, to allow
safe, timely and unhindered humanitarian access
to the areas under the control of M-23 and in the
wider region in accordance with international law,
including applicable international humanitarian
law and the guiding principles of humanitarian
assistance. It expresses concern about the shortfall
in funding for humanitarian assistance and
reiterates its call on the international community to
provide appropriate humanitarian support. It also
expresses concern at the possible negative impact
of the prevailing situation in North Kivu on the
security and humanitarian situation in South Kivu.
"The Security Council reaffirms its strong
commitment to the sovereignty, independence,
unity and territorial integrity of the Democratic
Republic of the Congo and emphasizes the need
to respect fully the principles of non-interference,
good neighbourliness and regional cooperation.
It reiterates its strong condemnation of any and
all external support to the M-23. In this regard,
the Security Council expresses deep concern at
reports indicating that such support continues to be
provided to the M-23 by neighbouring countries.
The Security Council demands that any and all
outside support to the M-23 as well as other armed
groups cease immediately.
"The Security Council calls upon all countries
in the region to condemn the M-23 as well as
other armed groups and to cooperate actively
with the Congolese authorities in disarming and
demobilizing the M-23 as well as other armed groups
and dismantling the M-23 parallel administration.
"The Security Council emphasizes the primary
responsibility of the Government of the Democratic
Republic of the Congo to reinforce State authority
and governance in eastern Democratic Republic
of the Congo, including through effective security
sector reform to allow army and police reform, and
to end impunity for abuses of human rights and
violations of international humanitarian law, and
urges the Government of the Democratic Republic
of the Congo to address issues of illegal exploitation
and smuggling of natural resources.

The President (spoke in Spanish): The Security
Council will now begin its consideration of the item on
its agenda.
Following consultations among the members of the
Security Council, I have been authorized to make the
following statement on behalf of the Council:
"The Security Council expresses its deep
concern regarding the deteriorating security and
humanitarian crisis in eastern Democratic Republic
of the Congo due to ongoing military and other
destabilizing activities of the 23 March Movement
(M-23) as well as other armed groups.
"The Security Council strongly condemns the
M-23 and all its attacks on the civilian population,
United Nations peacekeepers and humanitarian
actors, as well as its abuses of human rights,
including summary executions, sexual and genderbased
violence and large-scale recruitment and
use of child soldiers. The Security Council also
condemns the attempts by the M-23 to establish
a parallel administration and to undermine State
authority. The Security Council demands that
the M-23 and other armed groups, including the
Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda
(FDLR), cease immediately all forms of violence
and other destabilizing activities.
"The Security Council calls for perpetrators,
including individuals responsible for violence
against children and acts of sexual violence,
to be apprehended, brought to justice and
held accountable for violations of applicable
international law. The Security Council expresses
its intention to apply targeted sanctions against the
leadership of the M-23 and those acting in violation
of the sanctions regime and the arms embargo and
calls on all Member States to submit, as a matter
of urgency, listing proposals to the Committee
established pursuant to resolution 1533 (2004).
"The Security Council expresses its deep
concern with the increasing number of displaced

S/PV.6850
as of the International Conference on the Great
Lakes Region (ICGLR), the Southern African
Development Community and the African Union,
to restore peace and security in eastern Democratic
Republic of the Congo. It also stresses the urgency
of constructive engagement and dialogue between
the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its
neighbours, especially Rwanda, and the need to
address the underlying causes of the conf lict in
eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It calls
on the United Nations Secretary-General to continue
his good offices and to explore, when appropriate,
further high-level diplomatic mechanisms to
facilitate enhanced dialogue between relevant
parties, including on the underlying causes of the
conf lict.
"The Security Council welcomes the
establishment of the Expanded Joint Verification
Mechanism (EJVM), which was launched by the
ICGLR on 14 September as an important starting
point for rebuilding confidence between the
Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. It
further welcomes the support provided by the United
Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO)
to the EJVM and encourages, in coordination with
ICGLR members, the participation of MONUSCO,
as appropriate and within the limits of its capacities
and mandate, in the activities of the EJVM and the
reporting on any f low of arms and related materiel
across borders of eastern Democratic Republic of
the Congo.
"The Security Council takes note of the
decisions by the ICGLR and the African Union
regarding the deployment of a 'Neutral International
Force' in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo
and takes note of the ongoing coordination efforts
between these organizations and the United Nations
to clarify the objectives, modalities and means of
the proposed Force in relation to MONUSCO.
"The Security Council expresses its full support
to the United Nations Group of Experts of the 1533
Committee and calls for enhanced cooperation
between all States, particularly those in the region,
and the Group of Experts, encourages further that
all parties and all States ensure cooperation with
the Group of Experts by individuals and entities
within their jurisdiction or under their control and
reiterates its demand that all parties and all States
ensure the safety of its members, and unhindered
and immediate access, in particular to persons,
documents and sites the Group of Experts deems
relevant to the execution of its mandate.
"The Security Council expresses its full
support to MONUSCO and commends the active
measures it has taken to implement its mandate
in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo,
especially protecting civilians, and encourages
the continuation of these efforts. The Security
Council requests the Secretary-General to present
to the Security Council a special report on possible
options, and their implications, for reinforcing the
ability of MONUSCO to implement its mandate,
including to protect civilians and report on f lows
of arms and related materiel across borders of
eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo,
focusing in particular on force multipliers. It calls
on all parties to cooperate fully with the Mission
and reiterates its condemnation of any attacks on
its peacekeepers. The Security Council recalls
that the Congolese Government bears the primary
responsibility for ensuring security in its territory
and protecting its civilians. The Security Council
recalls the importance of close consultations with
troop- and police-contributing countries."
This statement will be issued as a document of the
Council under the symbol S/PRST/2012/22.
The Security Council has thus concluded the present
stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.

UN Security Council Sanctions Committees

SECURITY COUNCIL SANCTIONS COMMITTEES: AN OVERVIEW

Under Chapter VII of the Charter, the Security Council can take enforcement measures to maintain or restore international peace and security. Such measures range from economic and/or other sanctions not involving the use of armed force to international military action.
The use of mandatory sanctions is intended to apply pressure on a State or entity to comply with the objectives set by the Security Council without resorting to the use of force. Sanctions thus offer the Security Council an important instrument to enforce its decisions. The universal character of the United Nations makes it an especially appropriate body to establish and monitor such measures.
The Council has resorted to mandatory sanctions as an enforcement tool when peace has been threatened and diplomatic efforts have failed. The range of sanctions has included comprehensive economic and trade sanctions and/or more targeted measures such as arms embargoes, travel bans, financial or diplomatic restrictions.
At the same time, a great number of States and humanitarian organizations have expressed concerns at the possible adverse impact of sanctions on the most vulnerable segments of the population. Concerns have also been expressed at the negative impact sanctions can have on the economy of third countries.
In response to these concerns, relevant Security Council decisions have reflected a more refined approach to the design, application and implementation of mandatory sanctions. These refinements have included measures targeted at specific actors, as well as humanitarian exceptions embodied in Security Council resolutions. Targeted sanctions, for instance, can involve the freezing of assets and blocking the financial transactions of political elites or entities whose behaviour triggered sanctions in the first place. Recently, smart sanctions have been applied to conflict diamonds in African countries, where wars have been funded in part by the trade of illicit diamonds for arms and related materiel.
As part of its commitment to ensure that fair and clear procedures exist for placing individuals and entities on sanctions lists and for removing them, as well as for granting humanitarian exemptions, the Security Council, on 19 December 2006, adopted resolution 1730 (2006) by which the Council requested the Secretary-General to establish within the Secretariat (Security Council Subsidiary Organs Branch), a focal point to receive de-listing requests and perform the tasks described in the annex to that resolution. The Security Council took another significant step in this regard by establishing, by its resolution 1904 (2009) the Office of the Ombudsperson.
On 17 April 2000, the members of the Security Council established, on a temporary basis, the InformalWorking Group on General Issues of Sanctions to develop general recommendations on how to improve the effectiveness of United Nations sanctions. In 2006 the Working Group submitted its report to the Security Council (S/2006/997), which contained recommendations and best practices on how to improve sanctions.
Detailed information on each sanctions committee, including relevant measures, lists, Committee Guidelines and comprehensive documentation, including official documents and Press Releases, is available on webpages that can be accessed through the links in the column on the left.

Support Our Work Now !

Africa Realities Media is independent. Your support helps us expose injustice, challenge silence and produce evidence-based analysis on Africa and the Great Lakes Region.
Africa Realities Media offre un espace aux écrivains, chercheurs, experts, activistes, voix communautaires, militants, analystes et personnes ayant une expérience vécue qui souhaitent contribuer à des contenus réfléchis, responsables et courageux sur les changements nécessaires dans la région des Grands Lacs, ainsi que sur les réalités politiques, économiques, culturelles et sociales africaines souvent ignorées, minimisées ou mal représentées. Nos articles et vidéos visent à ouvrir le débat, renforcer la sensibilisation, encourager la pensée critique et favoriser une réflexion plus profonde sur les réalités vécues par les populations africaines. Nous voulons aider les peuples de la région des Grands Lacs à mieux comprendre leurs droits, notamment leurs droits humains, leur droit au développement, leur droit à la dignité, à la sécurité, au bien-être et à une vie meilleure. À travers nos contenus, nous cherchons également à rappeler aux décideurs, aux institutions publiques, aux acteurs régionaux et internationaux, ainsi qu’aux responsables politiques, leur devoir de transparence, de responsabilité et de redevabilité envers les populations qu’ils prétendent servir. Notre objectif est de contribuer à une culture de vérité, de justice, de participation citoyenne et de protection égale pour tous les peuples africains.

Why We Exist

Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states, ruling elites, armed groups, military forces and security services. But these abuses are often sustained by international silence, Western lobbying, trade interests, migration deals, mineral access, diplomatic partnerships and unequal global accountability. Africa Realities Media exposes that system.

Lived Experience Matters

Survivors, displaced communities, refugees, families affected by repression, journalists, activists, women, young people and diaspora voices are not passive subjects. They are knowledge holders. Their experiences must shape policy, advocacy, journalism and public debate. The people closest to injustice are often closest to the solutions.

Our Principle

Africa Realities Media is rooted in one principle: African lives deserve equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

Disgusting Reports On How African & Indonesian Women Dry Their VAGINA With Sand & Bleach To Make Sex Pleasurable For Men

Share 64   3   Share 3   1   Tweet 64 Women mostly in South and Central Africa, and Indonesia are carrying out a horrific practice known as  ‘ Dry Sex’  which not only leaves them in pain but at increased risk of HIV.  Dailymail  Report Dry sex is a practice where women reduce moisture in their vaginas in order to make intercourse more pleasurable for men. This according to reports can lead to cuts, sores and inflammation in the vagina, and increases the chance of a condom breaking. These factors in turn increase the chance of the women contracting sexually transmitted diseases including HIV. It is borne out of a cultural belief that men find sex more pleasurable if a woman’s vagina is dry, and that men will reject women whose vaginas have been  ‘stretched out’  by sex. To achieve dryness, women insert, chalk, sand, pulverized rock, herbs, paper or sponges before sex, according to journalist Ms Syfret, who has reported o...

[RwandaLibre] The Paul Kagame Doctrine After 20 Years

  http://www.inyenyerinews.org/amakuru-2/the-paul-kagame-doctrine-after-20-years/ African leaders have just concluded a mini summit in Luanda, Angola, to discuss the conflict in DRC and the diplomatic showdown between South Africa and Rwanda. It is reported, as usual, that a "Luanda Declaration" was signed, and President Zuma and President Kagame "agreed" to talk to "resolve" the impasse between their two countries. The latest quarrel between South Africa and Rwanda is due to the assassination of Colonel Patrick Karegeya in South Africa on 31/12/2013 and another attempted assassination on General Kayumba Nyamwasa a couple of weeks ago. Is this new ground for hope, or it is the usual diplomatic hype, postponing the problem to a later date? This writer firmly believes it is the latter. A good foreign policy champions, defends and protects a country's ( read people's) national interests. It seeks friends and...

[RwandaLibre] Re: (pour Madame Vidal) : « Le Rwanda est stable, mais à quel prix ? »

  Mme Vidal La première caractéristique d'un blanc menteur c'est de faire comme si la tragédie rwandaise avait commencé le 6 Avril 1994, et de chercher les preuves là où elles ne sont pas, c'est-à-dire au détour de petites phrases prononcées par des personnes qui ne maîtrisent pas la langue, qui étaient enflammées ou qui sont malmenées par leurs interrogateurs. Quand vous parlez de planification du génocide, vous oubliez ceux à qui il a profité et qui avant tout le monde ont commis des exactions contre la population civile. La rancœur accumulée par les hutus contre les tutsis a été notamment été favorisée par le nettoyage ethnique opéré par le FPR dans les régions de Byumba et Ruhengeri, ce qui a eu pour résultat, un million de réfugiés entassés aux portes de Kigali. Parler du génocide et omettre de parler de cette situation est un mensonge par omission. Disons comme vous l'affirmez que l'attentat n'a...

Why Africa Realities Media Is Different

Africa Realities Media speaks to Africa and to the developed world. Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states and ruling elites, but they are often protected by international silence, lobbying, public relations, trade interests, migration deals and unequal global accountability. While governments pay lobbyists to present a good image abroad, ordinary African people continue to face violence, hunger, disease, poverty, repression and exclusion. We challenge the normalisation of African suffering and demand equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

Pourquoi Africa Realities Media est différent?

Africa Realities Media s’adresse à l’Afrique et au monde développé. De nombreux abus subis par les peuples africains sont commis par des États africains et des élites dirigeantes, mais ils sont souvent protégés par le silence international, le lobbying, les relations publiques, les intérêts commerciaux, les accords migratoires et une responsabilité mondiale inégale. Tandis que des gouvernements paient des lobbyistes pour présenter une bonne image à l’étranger, des Africains ordinaires continuent de faire face à la violence, à la faim, aux maladies, à la pauvreté, à la répression et à l’exclusion. Nous contestons la normalisation de la souffrance africaine et exigeons une vérité égale, une justice égale et une protection égale.

Policy and Systems Change

Our work is designed to trigger debate, discomfort and action. We do not only expose injustice; we work for policy and systems change. We want governments and institutions to address the root causes of inequality, disadvantage, discrimination, exclusion and barriers affecting African people. We believe lasting change must be shaped by people with lived experience.

Africa Realities Media is an independent African accountability platform based in London. We report, analyse and challenge the systems that shape African suffering, silence African victims and protect abusive power. We are not here to repeat diplomatic language. We are here to ask the questions that are often avoided: why are African deaths treated as normal? Why are African victims given less urgency? Why are governments that imprison, exclude, displace or kill their own people protected when they serve powerful international interests?

Africa Realities Media gives space to writers, researchers, experts, activists, community voices, campaigners, analysts and people with lived experience who want to contribute thoughtful, responsible and courageous content about the changes needed in the region, as well as the political, economic, cultural and social African realities that are often ignored, minimised or misrepresented. Our articles and videos aim to encourage debate, raise awareness, stimulate critical thinking and support reflection. We seek to help people in the Great Lakes Region understand their rights to human rights, development and wellbeing, while also encouraging decision-makers to be more transparent, responsive and accountable.
