STORYLINE
The UN Security Council today (15 Mar) unanimously adopted a resolution to renew the mandate of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) for another year.
The South Sudan Ambassador Joseph Moum Majak Ngor Malok told the Council that his country welcomes the renewal of the mandate, but their position is that “punitive actions and punishment are counterproductive.”
Malok reiterated that “the only solution to the conflict in South Sudan is through a political process of which President Salva Kiir Mayardit has continuously played an active role and made numerous compromises.”
He added “the situation calls for cooperation as opposed to confrontation and threats of punitive actions, including the imposition of an arms embargo and sanctions.”
On the role of UNMISS in his country, the South Sudan Ambassador said that the UN should work in collaboration with the current Government to address the practical problems facing the country.
He said “it is one thing to condemn the leadership of the country and another to threaten the imposition of an arms embargo and sanctions, which as I have repeatedly mentioned to the Council, would only generate adversarial relationship and aggravate the situation.”
