Content_paragraphs:  As the years have passed with no settlement on the island, both the sense of 
  
  fatigue over the situation and scepticism regarding the process have deepened. Cyprus 
  
  negotiations remain closed and leader-focused, information is insufficiently shared 
  
  with the public and very few actors are involved. Despite the repeated calls in my 
  
  reports and in Security Council resolutions to involve civil society actors, including 
  
  women and young people, peace talks in Cyprus have spanned decades without 
  
  significant input from civil society, with negotiations for a comprehensive settlement 
  
  in Cyprus being an exclusively track 1 affair since their inception. It is therefore 
  
  heartening to see pro-settlement voices in both communities engaged in heightened 
  
  activism in the period before the informal five-plus-one meeting. I echo the Council’s 
  
  support for greater civic engagement and trust building and urge the leaders to be more 
  
  explicit in encouraging contact and cooperation between the two communities. The 
  
  leaders should strongly consider involving underrepresented groups in discussions 
  
  pertaining to the Cyprus problem and in any resumed peace talks, including women, 
  
  minorities, young people and persons with disabilities. I emphasize the important 
  
  support role of the two United Nations missions on the ground in this regard and their 
  
  mutually reinforcing activities. Both missions will further that engagement.
