Remarks before the Adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2418 on South Sudan Sanctions

Share

05/31/2018

“The resolution before us today is a modest step in this direction. It extends the sanctions regime for 45 days. It demands that the parties fully adhere to the cessation of hostilities. We hope they seize this opportunity for the sake of the South Sudanese people. This is a resolution we should all support. We urge Council members to use this time to think about the reality of life in South Sudan. I have said often that my fear in South Sudan is that the children are growing up uneducated, unskilled, and resentful. That will be all of our issue when they become adults. These children deserve a brighter future, and in the face of such barbaric violence, the Council’s failure to act denies them of that future.”

- Ambassador Nikki Haley
