HELPING TO RESTORE PEACE AND SECURITY AND CONSOLIDATE DEMOCRACY IN THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC: THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE IPU

Explanatory memorandum submitted by the delegation of Morocco

The parliamentary delegation of the Kingdom of Morocco to the Inter-Parliamentary Union hereby requests the inclusion in the agenda of the 130th Assembly of an emergency item entitled: “Helping to restore peace and security and consolidate democracy in the Central African Republic: The contribution of the IPU”. The grounds for this request are as follows. The severe security and humanitarian crisis that has been afflicting the Central African Republic for a year now poses a major risk for the stability of the Central African region and a threat to international peace and security. This crisis culminated last December when 200 Central Africans were executed in the town of Bangui in a single day, 5 December 2013. That same day, the UN Security Council took the emergency decision of authorizing an African-led International Support Mission to the Central African Republic (MISCA), as well as the use of force by French troops to protect civilians and maintain peace. According to data published by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, as part of their operations in the Central African Republic, the entire Central African population of 4.7 million has been affected by this crisis: 1.6 million have been displaced, more than 68,000 have taken refuge in neighbouring countries - Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Republic of the Congo (Congo), Chad and Cameroon - nearly 700,000 face severe food insecurity, and more than 450,000 require urgent humanitarian assistance. The parliamentary delegation of the Kingdom of Morocco considers it important for the Inter-Parliamentary Union to lend its support to the activities being conducted by the United Nations and by various regional and subregional organizations to restore peace and security, provide humanitarian assistance to the populations affected by this crisis and support the transitional authorities in the Central African Republic in their efforts to consolidate the democratic process. This will create the conditions needed for the organization of free, transparent and credible elections and permit a return to constitutional order, suspended since 24 March 2013.
