我们不应忘记2011年7月成功地就阿卜耶伊最终地位达成协议的积极甚至理想的情况。这是对南苏丹的自决权做出充分承诺的直接结果，而自决权是2005年全面《和平协议》的基础。这项《协议》是一项国际谈判达成的协议，导致承诺加强两个姐妹国家之间的共同点，避免使用任何非和平手段。
We should not forget the positive, and even the ideal, circumstances that made it possible to successfully conclude an agreement in July 2011 on the final status of Abyei. That was a direct result of the full commitment to the right to self-determination of South Sudan, which was the basis of the 2005 comprehensive Peace Agreement. That Agreement was an international negotiated one that led to a commitment to strengthening the points of convergence among the two sisterly countries and to avoid the use of any non-peaceful means.
