The democratic, economic and social reconstruction of Côte d’Ivoire forms part of a process the scope and significance of which must be measured against the long crisis that caused a culture of violence to predominate in society and profoundly disrupted the country’s political, economic and social institutions. Two existential issues continue to trouble the collective consciousness, namely, the root causes of the crisis and anxiety about the possibility of reconciliation. 77. The three fundamental aspects of the crisis — its moral depths, its political source and its social impact — must be considered together and in terms of the following major challenges: democratic, economic and social reconstruction; the promotion of a national political ethic; the restoration of community life; and the eradication of the culture of violence. The democratic reconstruction taking place at the institutional level is being held back by entrenched political polarization and the lack of progress in establishing genuine political pluralism, in particular by the nonparticipation of the main opposition party, the FPI, in the permanent framework for dialogue. 78. The urgency of the need for political reconciliation and for democratic, economic and social reconstruction is made stronger by the crisis in Mali, the political, military, religious and economic implications of which could destabilize all countries in the region profoundly and in the long term. A multicultural, democratic, egalitarian society that respects human rights is the best defence against this new peril that is fuelled by violence, intolerance and discrimination. B. 1. Recommendations Recommendations to the Government 79. The Independent Expert recommends that the Government of Côte d’Ivoire should give the highest priority to boosting the democratic process, promoting human rights and consolidating the economic and social reconstruction [process]. The Government must sustain its momentum despite the current attempts to destabilize the security situation, the objective of which is precisely to derail the process. GE.13-10074 17
