Thank You Mr. President,


1. I have the honour to deliver this Explanation of Vote on behalf of the A3+ members, namely, Algeria, Guyana, Somalia, and my own country Sierra Leone.


2. At the outset, we wish to express our appreciation to the Penholder for their efforts at securing broad consensus on the renewal of the 1591 sanctions regime on Darfur.


3. We voted in favor of this draft resolution because the text covers our main concerns, including the alignment of the timelines for the renewal of the 1591 sanction measures and the mandate of the Panel of Experts which had over the years continued to symbolise a major rallying point for the A3+ and a significant number of Council members.


4. The A3+ welcomes Council’s adoption of the resolution and looks forward to this Council’s collective resolve to ensure the Implementation of the sanctions regime on the Darfur region with the ultimate objectives of easing the sanction measures on the basis of the developments on the ground as well as improving the security and humanitarian situation in the country.


5. We note, in this regard, that, regardless of the sanctions measures in place, the conflict in Sudan continues to be fueled mainly by the military support provided by external actors and foreign interferences, in clear violation of the Arms embargo.


6. The ongoing massacre of civilians on ethnic lines and the scale and scope of unimaginable conflict-related sexual violence are largely facilitated by violations of the arms embargo.


7. We therefore strongly underscore the importance of compliance with the sanction measures and accountability for those responsible for such violations and abuses.


8. We conclude by reiterating that the conflict in Sudan would only be resolved through the facilitation of an all-inclusive Sudanese-led- and owned peace process premised on genuine dialogue that focuses on addressing the root causes of the conflict.


I Thank You.
