Traductions en français

30 mai 2024

Département d’État des États-UnisMatthew Miller, porte-parole du départementLe 30 mai 2024Communiqué de presse

Les États-Unis désignent aujourd’hui deux entités basées en République centrafricaine (RCA) en raison des efforts qu’elles déploient à l’appui des activités déstabilisatrices du groupe Wagner, soutenu par le Kremlin, en Afrique. Mining Industries SARLU et Logistique Economique Etrangère SARLU ont joué un rôle essentiel dans les opérations sécuritaires et les activités minières illicites du groupe Wagner en RCA.

Le groupe Wagner de la Russie a commis de nombreuses violations des droits de la personne et s’est approprié des ressources naturelles dans plusieurs pays d’Afrique. Force militaire alliée du Kremlin, le groupe Wagner a mené des opérations de combat dans le monde entier, notamment dans le cadre de la guerre brutale menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine.

La mesure prise aujourd’hui reflète nos efforts continus visant à contrer la présence dommageable et déstabilisatrice du groupe Wagner en Afrique. Les États-Unis restent déterminés à décourager et à perturber les activités déstabilisatrices de la Russie.

*Les États-Unis ont déjà pris des mesures à l’encontre de plusieurs sociétés liées au groupe Wagner en RCA, notamment**Lobaye Invest**,**Midas Ressources SARLU**et**Bois Rouge SARLU**, désormais connue sous le nom de Wood International Group SARLU. La mesure prise aujourd’hui par le Trésor est conforme au**décret présidentiel 14024**, tel que modifié.  Pour de plus amples informations sur la mesure prise aujourd’hui, lire le**communiqué de presse**du Trésor.*

# 									Joint Statement by the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom Regarding the IAEA Board of Governors Resolution							

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

June 8, 2022

The text of the following statement was released by the Governments of the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

*Begin text:*

We, the Governments of France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, welcome the IAEA Board of Governors’ adoption of a resolution responding to Iran’s insufficient cooperation with the IAEA on serious and outstanding safeguards issues relating to Iran’s obligations under its NPT-required safeguards agreement. The overwhelming majority vote at the IAEA Board of Governors today sends an unambiguous message to Iran that it must meet its safeguards obligations and provide technically credible clarifications on outstanding safeguards issues. Today’s resolution affirms the Board’s support for the independent, professional and impartial efforts of the IAEA to uphold the international safeguards system, which is essential to all of our security.

We urge Iran to heed the call of the international community to fulfill its legal obligations and cooperate with the IAEA to fully clarify and resolve issues without further delay. If Iran does this and the Director General is able to report that the unresolved safeguards issues are no longer outstanding, we would see no need for further Board consideration and action on these issues.
