UN General Assembly
2018

Moreover, I note with satisfaction the establishment and ongoing operationalization of territorial communities in the Ménaka and Taoudenni regions, the establishment of interim authorities in the five northern regions, the launch of the operations of the Operational Coordination Mechanism in Kidal, Timbuktu and Gao, and progress in the processes of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and security-sector reform. I am fully aware that these gains are fragile. I am also aware that we need to do more and better. This is the purpose of the road map of 22 March. I have instructed the Government to honour its commitments pursuant to these mechanisms. However, I must stress that political will alone will not be enough to fulfil all the commitments undertaken in the Agreement. Adequate technical and financial support will also be required. I take this opportunity to reiterate my call for the effective and rapid mobilization of the resources pledged by our partners with a view to helping us achieve all commitments contained in the road map by the agreed deadlines.
