“With the support of the international community, especially the United Nations through its peacekeeping and peace-building efforts, we have rebuilt a new, ethnically balanced, professional army, increased the size and enhanced the professionalism of our police, immigration, and intelligence forces in line with our commitment to bear full responsibility for security within our border as UN peacekeepers execute a phased drawdown.

In this regard, we commend the UN Security Council for the recent adoption of its Resolution 2116, which extended the mandate of the UN Peacekeeping Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) to September 30, 2014.

We fully commit to meeting all the expectations of the resolution, including continuing to take concrete steps aimed at developing and sustaining a self-sufficient and competent security sector, able to tackle violent crimes, sexual and gender-based violence and infringement of the rights of the ordinary person.”
