The UN Security Council has welcomed a comprehensive political agreement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and calls on all stakeholders to continue to exercise flexibility and compromise in their discussions to swiftly resolve all pending issues, particularly those related to holding national elections in 2017.
Before and after each election the UN should lay out the basic principles regarding permanent peace and development of the peoples of the world, including organizational structures based on universal values, election of the heads of the four main branches of government and other needed changes for the DRC. The resulting constitution should bring peace and serve as a model for peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
