2,021 | March | 1 | S/2021/199 | Situation in the Sudan and the activities of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan | The restoration of relations with the international financial institutions
represents an achievement for the transitional Government and an important step in
the country’s path to achieving debt relief and securing grants to finance major
infrastructure and other development projects. The country today has accumulated
more than $60 billion in foreign debt, and debt relief and access to foreign loans are
widely seen as its gateway to economic recovery. I call on partners of the Sudan to
inject fresh international funding through the Ministry of Finance. Such assistance
would provide central support for economic stability, in conjunction with reforms
implemented by the transitional Government. The reforms will address structural
distortions in the economy, promote growth, encourage investment and help to build
a prosperous economy for all Sudanese, in particular young people, women and
communities affected by war and marginalization. Meanwhile, the socioeconomic
situation, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, continues to impose significant
hardship on the population and increases the risk of instability. I therefore encourage
the transitional Government to continue its critical economic reform, including
exchange rate unification, which will enable the Sudan to fully benefit from the
support offered by its partners and the international financial institutions through the
Sudan Family Support Programme. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3903130/files/S_2021_199-EN.pdf | Chase | gender related | other | ssr, ddr, hr and others |

continuation of a vibrant Sudanese protest movement that remains unrepresented
within transitional institutions, but that nevertheless persistently seeks to achieve the
demands, articulated since the start of the revolution, for civilian -led democratic
governance. Sudanese women’s rights leaders continue mobilization for women’s
meaningful participation in the transitional decision-making bodies and for the
fulfilment of other gender equality commitments set out in the Constitutional
Document and the Juba Agreement. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3903130/files/S_2021_199-EN.pdf | Chase | gender specific | participation | participation |
2,021 | March | 1 | S/2021/199 | Situation in the Sudan and the activities of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan | UNITAMS continued to conduct outreach activities with a wide range of
interlocutors, including government officials, political party and civil society
representatives, military officials and representatives of armed movements. It also
conducted its first official mission to Central and North Darfur States from 25 to
28 January 2021, with the support of UNAMID. The delegation, led by the Officer-
in-Charge of UNITAMS, met with government officials, local communities,
representatives of internally displaced persons and their camps, civ il society
organizations, activists and women’s groups. The introductory visit allowed
UNITAMS to engage directly with those groups regarding the Mission’s mandate and
to hear first-hand accounts of local priorities and concerns. In El Fasher, the
delegation met with the government spokesperson, in his capacity as representative
of the Governor of North Darfur. He expressed the importance of United Nations
support for a range of humanitarian and development needs, including helping
internally displaced persons to return to their homes and assisting South Sudanese
refugees. He expressed his support for the mandate of UNITAMS and for the
Mission’s presence in North Darfur. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3903130/files/S_2021_199-EN.pdf | Chase | gender related | other | ssr, ddr, hr and others |

monthly military operational activities, including 6,281 patrols. Some 4 per cent of
the mission’s military operational activities included at least one woman peacekeeper.
UNIFIL vehicular, foot and air patrols maintained an operational footprint in
municipalities and villages in the area of operations. Air reconnaissance patrols
continued over areas to which ground patrols have limited access, including private
property and land contaminated by explosive remnants of war or anti-personnel
mines. While observing precautionary measures owing to the coronavirus disease
(COVID-19) pandemic, the proportion of UNIFIL operations conducted in close
coordination with the Lebanese Armed Forces remained at 15 per cent. Owing to
COVID-19-related restrictive measures, in November, UNIFIL decreased operational
activities by about 6 per cent. Since 14 January, the Lebanese Armed Forces

their efforts to support public health institutions and the people of Kosovo in the
management of the pandemic. As vaccines are rolled out, the United Nations will
continue to mobilize international support to make sure that they are available for all.
The Organization remains equally engaged in bolstering public information
campaigns, empowering women and youth to participate in preventive action, and
providing assistance to vulnerable communities across Kosovo. Now is the time for
solidarity and international cooperation, and the United Nations will stand by the

of the non-majority communities who had been displaced within and outside Kosovo.
The returnees included 133 women and 140 men (223 Kosovo Serbs, 36 Kosovo
Ashkali, 10 Kosovo Roma and 4 Kosovo Albanians). This brings the total number of

social media campaigns to raise awareness of the role of women at the United Nations,
and to promote the women and peace and security agenda. Under the auspices of the
multi-stakeholder Security and Gender Group, which is chaired by UN-Women and
includes UNMIK, activities were carried out in support of the global 16 Days of
Activism against Gender-based Violence campaign. The UNMIK-produced
documentary “Not Your Property” was screened in both Albanian- and Serbian-

based violence, property rights, and the impact of the pandemic on women and girls.
On 8 March, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, the Special
Representative underscored the significant contribution of women to the COVID -19
pandemic response and recovery efforts, and emphasized the importance of women’s
meaningful participation and leadership in decision-making, policy design and

Security Council resolution 1325 (2000), I applaud the tenacity and continuing efforts
of women’s groups and women activists in Cyprus to ensure the full participation of
women in the peace process and for a gender-responsive settlement. UNFICYP will
continue to play its part in leading by example on gender parity in peacekeeping and
will redouble its efforts to support gender and peace activists to take their rightful
place in the peace initiative on the island. In that respect, I urge the leaders to fully
support the work of the Technical Committee on Gender Equality and the critical role
of civil society and to ensure a linkage between the two in order to pursue a
sustainable solution to the Cyprus issue for all. | http://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3897208/files/S_2021_4-EN.pdf | Chase | gender related | elective | ssr, ddr, hr and others |

2,021 | January | 8 | S/2021/4 | United Nations operation in Cyprus | Internally, the mission held virtual gatherings within the military and the police
components to enable dialogue on the experiences, concerns and perspectives of
uniformed female peacekeepers and to provide information on the approach of the
mission to gender mainstreaming and gender parity. | http://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3897208/files/S_2021_4-EN.pdf | Chase | gender related | protection | protection |
2,021 | January | 8 | S/2021/4 | United Nations operation in Cyprus | Limited contact occurred between the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot
communities during the reporting period, mainly because of the movement restrictions
mandated by both sides as a result of COVID-19, including the ongoing closure of three
crossing points (see sect. E). As a result, there were very few face-to-face
intercommunal activities or even simple interactions, a situation that deepened the
estrangement between the two largest communities on the island. Established
mechanisms for cooperation, such as those between the two Nicosia municipalities (the
Nicosia Municipal Coordination Group and the Nicosia Master Plan) remained dormant
during the reporting period, owing to the difficulty of operating by online means. In
response, the mission strengthened its capacity to facilitate online connections and
sought creative ways to continue to support dialogue and cooperation across the divide.
UNFICYP maintained its engagement with women and youth representatives of civil
society, also reaching out to new constituencies, with modest success. | http://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3897208/files/S_2021_4-EN.pdf | Chase | gender related | elective | ssr, ddr, hr and others |

the surge in gender-based violence across the island. The mission continued to engage
with women’s civil society organizations from the north and south to maintain

for in-person contact, and held a series of intercommunal meetings focusing mainly

coordination with my mission of good offices and in cooperation with international
counterparts, such as the Embassy of Ireland for a series of workshops with
peacebuilders from Northern Ireland, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland, and the Embassies of Canada and the Netherlands for a virtual “Women walk

peace process. Cyprus was included in an engagement held under my auspices,
involving remarks delivered by a Cypriot activist on the participat ion of women in
the Cyprus peace process. A communiqué highlighting challenges to and
opportunities for women and peace and security on the island was also delivered to
me on behalf of established bicommunal women’s groups. In parallel, within the
framework of the UN75 global dialogue, the mission produced media material to
highlight women’s perspectives on the future of the island. | http://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3897208/files/S_2021_4-EN.pdf | Chase | gender specific | management | management & gender parity |

continued to support the Non-Governmental Organization Networking Group (a
platform of 200 local non-governmental organizations) by ensuring that activities and
coordination would continue by online means. During the repor ting period, the
mission also contributed to trust-building and confidence-building efforts between
the communities, reaching an ever-broader constituency, in particular through the use
of social media. The UN75 campaign, Peace Day and International Youth Day were

2,021 | January | 8 | S/2021/4 | United Nations operation in Cyprus | When I repeated my call for a global ceasefire on 2 October, the International
Day of Non-Violence, I highlighted that that celebration was taking place in the
shadow of the devastating human and socioeconomic impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic. In Cyprus, COVID-19 continued to have profound negative repercussions
for the two communities, both in terms of health and socioeconomically. The
unprecedented dimension of the threat posed by the pandemic has, notably, resulted
in a further separation of the communities, while efforts to identify acceptable ways
to jointly tackle the virus and its multiple effects on the lives of Cypriots have been
limited. As mentioned in my previous report, there are existing mechanisms, mostly
underused, that could precisely address those issues if they received sufficient
political support. The bicommunal technical committees were specifically designed
to address island-wide issues that affect the daily lives of Cypriots and to foster
cooperation that would serve to build the foundation for a sustainable settlement. I
therefore call upon the leaders to enhance their support for the technical committees
and, in the specific context of COVID-19, in particular those that focus on health,
economic and commercial matters, crisis management, gender equality and
humanitarian affairs, bearing in mind their potential role in contributing to the
alleviation of the effects of the pandemic across the island. | http://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3897208/files/S_2021_4-EN.pdf | Chase | gender related | other | ssr, ddr, hr and others |

I call on the military leaders in Bamako to prioritize national interest and the needs

The reopening follows an agreement brokered by the former traditional judge of

2,021 | June | 1 | S/2021/519 | Situation in Mali | The continued deployment of MINUSMA remains essential to the peace,

outstanding provisions of the Agreement, the inclusion of women in political and
peace processes, protection of civilians and dialogue processes in the centre, support
to the ongoing political transition, the upholding of human rights, and adequate
coordination with national, regional and international forces remain indispensable to
the restoration of peace and security in Mali. The complex, challenging and dangerous
environment in which the Mission is operating requires innovative, tailored, flexible
and people-centred approaches. I therefore recommend the extension of the mandate
of MINUSMA for an additional year, until 30 June 2022, with its current authorized
troop and police ceilings. I count on the Security Council’s steadfast political support
