               international partners, and calling on the international community to remain
               committed to Haiti’s efforts in overcoming the ongoing political stalemate and

                     Welcoming the agreement of the Heads of Government of CARICOM for a high
               level political mission to Haiti and its readiness to assist,
                    Stressing the primary responsibility of the Government of Haiti to address
               longstanding drivers of instability and inequality, and to engage with other
               stakeholders, including civil society, youth, and the private sector, and the ful l, equal,

               that of his team, and reiterating its support for his proposal for a United Nations envoy
               to lead further engagement which could provide critical support in the search for
               common ground with the goal of returning to formal negotiations,
                     Expressing full support for the Secretary-General’s ongoing efforts and
               reiterating the importance of openness, flexibility and compromise in finding
               common ground with the goal of returning to formal negotiations, and urging the
               sides to renew their efforts to achieve an enduring, comprehensive and just settlement
               based on a bicommunal, bizonal federation with political equality, as set out in
               relevant Security Council resolutions, including paragraph 4 of its resolution
               716 (1991),
                     Noting with regret the lack of progress made towards restarting formal
               negotiations at this time and stressing that the status quo is unsustainable, that the
               situation on the ground is not static, and that the lack of an agreement furthers political
               tensions and deepens the estrangement of both communities, risking irreversible
               changes on the ground, and reducing the prospects of a settlement,
                     Recalling its Presidential Statement (S/PRST/2021/13), and all relevant
               resolutions and statements of its President regarding Varosha,
                     Recalling its resolution 1325 (2000) and all related resolutions, recognising that
               the full, equal and meaningful participation and leadership of women is essential in
               building peace in Cyprus and will contribute to making any future settlement
               sustainable, welcoming efforts to bring together a broader range of women actors on
               both sides and the agreement and launch of the joint action plan on ensuring women’s

               participation in peace talks, and encouraging the sides to ensure the needs and
               perspectives of women are addressed in a future settlement,
                     Recalling its resolution 2250 (2015) and related resolutions that recognise the
               important and positive contribution of youth in efforts for the maintenance and
               promotion of peace and security, and as a key aspect of the sustainability,
               inclusiveness and success of peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts, and further
               encouraging the full, equal and meaningful participation of youth in this process,
                    Recalling the critical importance of full adherence to applicable international
               law in the handling of asylum seekers and refugees,

               spread of COVID-19 and mitigate its effects, welcoming the ongoing cooperation
               between the sides on epidemiological issues and the return of the crossing points to
               the status quo ante, and echoing the Secretary-General’s finding that the
               socioeconomic disparity between the two Cypriot communities has widened further,

               Room to Pyla, and urging both sides to continue to work with UNFICYP to establish
               effective measures to tackle criminal activities,
                     Reiterating the importance of confidence-building measures and their timely
               implementation, and encouraging the sides to continue engaging with each other in
               this regard, including to consider new military confidence building measures,
                     Urging the sides to step up their efforts to promote intercommunal contacts,
               intra-island trade, reconciliation and the active engagement of civil society, in
               particular women and youth, and recognising that regular, effective contact and
               communication between the sides enhances the prospects for settlement and is in the
               interests of all Cypriots, and helps to address island-wide matters, including health,
               crime, environmental protection, economic issues, issues related to the adverse
               impacts of climate change, and challenges related to migration,

               conditions on the island it is necessary to keep the United Nations Peacekeeping Force
               in Cyprus (UNFICYP) beyond 31 July 2022,
                     Welcoming measures to date to strengthen the liaison and engagement capacity
               of the mission, noting the importance of transition planning in relation to the
               settlement and in line with resolution 2594 (2021) and other relevant resolutions, and
               emphasising the need to review regularly all peacekeeping operations, including
               UNFICYP, to ensure efficiency and effectiveness,
                   Expressing appreciation to Member States that contribute personnel to
               UNFICYP, and noting the continued voluntary contributions to the funding of
               UNFICYP by the Government of Cyprus and the Government of Greece,

               1251 (1999) and recalls the importance of achieving an enduring, comprehensive and
               just settlement based on a bicommunal, bizonal federation with political equality, as

           flexibility and compromise and showing the necessary political will and commitment
           to freely negotiate a mutually acceptable settlement under United Nations auspices,
           and urges the sides to engage actively and with an increased sense of urgency with
           the Secretary-General and his team to this end, including by reaching an agreement

           Turkish Cypriot leaders on the further reopening of a part of the fenced -off area of
           Varosha, expresses deep regret regarding unilateral actions that run contrary to its
           previous resolutions and statements on Varosha and calls for the immediate reversal
           of this course of action and of all steps taken on Varosha since October 2020, deeply
           regrets that recent actions have not been in line with this call for immediate reversal,
           and reiterates once again that no actions should be carried out in relation to Varosha
           that are not in accordance with its resolutions and continues to stress the need to avoid

           overall guidance to free the Technical Committees from political obstructions in their
           work and enable them to function effectively in coordination and cooperation on
           matters which have island-wide implications, building on recent progress, including
           through the effective use of the expertise available in the bicommunal Technical
           Committees on Health, Criminal Matters, Crisis Management, Humanitarian Affairs
           and Economic Matters, and to empower them to submit proposals for their
           consideration to enhance intercommunal contacts and improve the daily lives of all

           a joint review of school materials, including text books, as a contribution to trust -
           building between the communities, on which there continues to be no progress;
                (d) improve the public atmosphere for negotiation to secure a settlement,
           including by preparing the communities for a settlement through public messages on
           the way ahead, and delivering more constructive and harmonised messages, including

               settlement process, to support and encourage engagement with civil society, including

               forces to be able to respond proportionately to threats to the security of all citizens in
               the CAR and to protect and promote human rights and prevent violations and abuses,
