  1. “Malaysia urges Member States to contribute on a consistent and predictable basis to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East to ensure that the basic needs of Palestinian refugees continue to be met. Lastly, Malaysia will always stand with the people of Palestine in their struggle for self-determination. We maintain our support for the two-State solution, based on the pre-1967 borders and an independent State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as the capital. We believe that that is achievable if the Security Council exerts all efforts to ensure its full implementation.”

  2. “The impunity enjoyed by Israel has emboldened it to continue with its systematic oppression of the Palestinian people through discriminatory policies akin to apartheid. To this day, the Security Council has failed to compel Israel to implement all relevant United Nations resolutions, including resolution 2334 (2016). Malaysia calls on the Security Council to fulfil its duty as the guardian of international peace and security, to stop applying double standards when it comes to Israel and to end the injustices against the Palestinian people. In line with General Assembly resolution 77/247, Malaysia welcomes the call to request an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice. Malaysia believes that the Court will provide an independent and impartial opinion on the illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.”

  3. “The Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories, of which Malaysia is a member, has reported that the number of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank killed by Israeli forces in the first five months of 2023 was more than double that of the same period in 2022. Clearly, this year will be an even more catastrophic year for Palestinians, which will be further aggravated by forced evictions, home demolitions and forcible transfers in the expansion of illegal settlements, which is a clear violation of international law. The lack of accountability for the crimes perpetrated by Israel undermines the legitimacy of international law and efforts towards a viable two-State solution.”

  4. “Malaysia thanks the United Kingdom for convening this important debate. Our appreciation also go to the Assistant Secretary- General for his insightful briefing. Malaysia aligns itself with the statements delivered on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People. Malaysia is gravely concerned about the continued cycle of violence and the increase in assaults and destruction in the occupied Palestinian territory. Malaysia deplores the indiscriminate and forceful incursions into refugee camps in the West Bank, which have also damaged United Nations schools and health facilities. We are, as always, dismayed by the deaths of innocent civilians, including women and children.”

  5. “Malaysia commends the vital work of the Country Task Force on Monitoring and Reporting and underlines the importance of a reporting mechanism that is credible, impartial, objective and transparent. The glaring absence of Israel in the annex to the report (S/2023/363), as happened last year, has continued to puzzle our delegation. Israel, the occupying Power, must be held accountable for the violations and crimes it has committed against Palestinian children in the occupied Palestinian territory. Malaysia reiterates its call for the inclusion of Israel in the annexes to future reports. Impunity for crimes against children in armed conflict must end. No one should bear the burden of wars, let alone our future generations. It is therefore incumbent on us to provide them with the peace and protection they rightly deserve.”

  6. “Our commitment to the Protocol and Principles is an integral part of our obligation to respect relevant human rights law and humanitarian law, particularly regarding children in conflict. We echo the Secretary-General’s proposal that the Security Council ensure that the provision and capacity for child protection are included in the relevant mandates of United Nations peacekeeping operations and special political missions. United Nations peacekeeping missions are among the most visible actors on the ground in conflict zones and play an instrumental role in the protection of children in armed conflict. The work of the United Nations and its agencies, including the engagement between the relevant mandated departments within the framework of Security Council resolutions, remains crucial.”

  7. “The denial of humanitarian access in various conflict zones has hindered efforts to provide children with basic necessities. It is alarming to note that a total of 38 parties to conflicts around the world, State and non-State actors alike, have no measures in place to improve the protection of children in compliance with relevant Security Council resolutions. Ensuring the protection of children in armed conflict is a collective responsibility that requires the joint efforts of all. Malaysia urges all States to become party to the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict as soon as possible. We also emphasize the need to endorse and implement the Safe Schools Declaration and the Vancouver Principles.”

  8. “Malaysia would like to thank the United Kingdom for convening today’s important debate. Our thanks also go to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mrs. Gamba de Potgieter, and the other briefers for their valuable contributions. The subject of the debate is important to Malaysia, as was reflected in our initiative in introducing resolution 2225 (2015). Malaysia is appalled by the reported increase in the numbers of children who have been victims of grave violations in armed conflict. We are equally appalled by the reported use of live ammunition and excessive force, which have caused countless deaths and injuries of children. The increasing attacks on schools and hospitals have deprived children of education and health care.”
