Statement by the President of the Security Council
At the 7318th meeting of the Security Council, held on 21 November 2014, in
connection with the Council’s consideration of the item entitled “Peace and security
in Africa”, the President of the Security Council made the following statement on
behalf of the Council:
“The Security Council reiterates its grave concern about the
unprecedented extent of the Ebola outbreak in Africa, which constitutes a
threat to international peace and security, and the impact of the Ebola virus on
West Africa, in particular Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. The Security
Council expresses its appreciation for the crucial contributions and
commitments made by the Member States of the region, to continue to lead the
ground-level response against the Ebola outbreak, as well as to address the
wider political, security, socioeconomic and humanitarian impact, including on
food security, of the Ebola outbreak on communities and the need to plan for
the longer term recovery in the region, including with the support of the
Peacebuilding Commission. The Security Council underscores the continued
need for robust contact tracing, social mobilization and community-level
engagement efforts, especially outside of major urban areas in the most
affected countries.
“The Security Council stresses the importance for the United Nations
Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER) to continue to strengthen
coordination with the governments of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone and all
national, regional and international actors, including bilateral partners and
multilateral organizations, including the Mano River Union, African Union,
Economic Community of West African States, European Union, World Bank
Group and the United Nations System, in order to more readily identify gaps
in the response effort and to utilize all Ebola response assistance more fully
and efficiently, particularly at the local level. In this regard, the Security
Council requests that the Secretary-General accelerate efforts to scale-up
UNMEER’s presence and activities at the district and prefecture level outside
of the capital cities.
“The Security Council expresses its concern about the recent reported
Ebola infections in Mali. The Security Council recognizes the important steps
taken by the government of Mali, including by appointing an Ebola Incident
Coordinator to lead a whole-of-government response. The Security Council
affirms the importance of preparedness by all Member States to detect,
prevent, respond to, isolate and mitigate suspected cases of Ebola within and across borders and of bolstering the preparedness of all countries in the region.
The Security Council recalls the International Health Regulations (2005),
which aim to improve the capacity of all countries to detect, assess, notify and
respond to all public health threats
“The Security Council welcomes the efforts undertaken by UNMEER to
provide overall leadership and direction to the operational work of the United
Nations System, as mandated by the United Nations General Assembly. The
Security Council underscores the need for relevant United Nations System
entities, including the United Nations peacekeeping operations and special
political missions in West Africa, in close collaboration with UNMEER and
within their existing mandates and capacities, to provide immediate assistance
to the governments of the most affected countries.
“The Security Council lauds the critical, heroic and selfless efforts of the
first-line responders to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, including national
health and humanitarian relief workers, educators, and burial team members,
as well as international health and humanitarian relief workers contributed by
the Member States of diverse regions and non-governmental and
inter-governmental organizations. The Security Council expresses its
condolences to the families of the victims of the Ebola outbreak, including
national and international first-line responders. The Security Council urges all
Member States, non-governmental, inter-governmental and regional
organizations to continue to respond to the outstanding need for medical
personnel, as well as related critical gap areas such as personnel with expertise
in sanitation and hygiene.
“The Security Council underscores the critical importance of putting in
place essential arrangements, including medical evacuation capacities and
treatment and transport provisions, to facilitate the immediate, unhindered and
sustainable deployment of health and humanitarian relief workers to the
affected countries. The Security Council welcomes the steps announced by
Member States and regional organizations to provide medical evacuation
capacities for health and humanitarian relief workers, as well as other
treatment options in situ.
“The Security Council notes the considerable efforts of the international
community to scale-up its coordinated response to the Ebola outbreak and the
important progress on the ground as a result of these contributions. In this
regard, the Security Council commends those Member States, which, in
concert with other actors on the ground, have opened Ebola Treatment Units
and provided other crucial support in the affected countries. The Security
Council urges all Member States, bilateral partners and multilateral
organizations, to expedite the provision of resources and financial assistance,
as well as mobile laboratories; field hospitals to provide non-Ebola related
medical care; dedicated and trained clinical personnel and services in Ebola
Treatment Units and isolation units; therapies, vaccines and diagnostics to
treat patients and limit or prevent further Ebola infection or transmission; and
personal protective equipment for first-line responders. The Security Council
calls on Member States, especially in the region, to facilitate immediately the
delivery of such assistance, to the most affected countries.
“The Security Council emphasizes that the dynamic needs on the ground
in the most affected countries require that the international community’s
response remains flexible, in order to adapt to changing requirements and
rapidly respond to new outbreaks.
“The Security Council strongly urges Member States, as well as airlines
and shipping companies, while applying appropriate public health protocols, to
maintain trade and transport links with the most affected countries to enable
the timely utilization of all efforts aimed at containing the Ebola outbreak
within and across borders of the region. While recognizing the important role
that appropriate screening measures can play in stopping the spread of the
outbreak, the Security Council expresses its continued concern about the
detrimental effect of the isolation of the affected countries as a result of trade
and travel restrictions imposed on and to the affected countries, as well as acts
of discrimination against the nationals of Guinea, Liberia, Mali and Sierra
Leone, including Ebola survivors and their families or those infected with the
disease.”
