  1. “Japan is focusing in particular on implementing humanitarian aid, including the provision of food, water and vaccinations, as well as assistance for economic development and social stability, including education and vocational training in collaboration with the United Nations and other international organizations. However, the success of Japan's efforts depends on how we resolve the current Syrian crisis. Japan reiterates its determination, as a member of the Security Council, to work on the matter in a responsible manner because, first of all, a ceasefire is absolutely important. Once again, Japan will continue to work on this issue.”

  2. “That project has supported job- seeking and business ventures for more than 1,000 young people. Nadia, a Jordanian woman, recalled, "I cannot forget the moment when I heard over the phone that I had been accepted to participate in the project". Nadia, who has three children, acquired the necessary knowledge to start a business and decided to open a kitchen utensil store. We believe that promoting women's social participation and developing a sense of involvement among young people are effective means to create resilient and tolerant societies and to prevent violent extremism. With that in mind, Japan provided more than $1.26 billion to Syria, Iraq and neighbouring countries from 2011 to 2015. In addition, Japan is implementing $1.13 billion of assistance to Syria, Iraq and neighbouring countries this year.”

  3. “Secondly, Japan has provided support to vocational training and capacity- building programmes for women. Thirdly, Japan has provided assistance to alleviate the burdens faced by neighbouring countries in support of regional stability. It is especially important to bolster efforts to build societies that are resilient against violent extremism. In collaboration with the United Nations, Japan has supported territories liberated from violent extremism in order to promote stabilization. We have provided assistance to people who are socially marginalized and have not received even basic assistance. As one example, Japan has collaborated with the United Nations Development Programme to implement the Emergency Employment Project in northern Jordan, where the unemployment rate has risen amid a wave of Syrian refugees.”

  4. “As a member of the Security Council and the International Syria Support Group, Japan calls on the international community and all relevant stakeholders to fully abide by the Security Council's Syria-related resolutions. In collaboration with the United Nations and other international organizations, Japan has provided non-military assistance and aided in creating as conducive a climate as possible for the political settlement of the Syrian crisis. Japan has supported efforts to build societies that are resilient against violent extremism by combining urgent humanitarian assistance with development assistance for the people of Syria and neighbouring countries. That support has centred on three areas. First, Japan has extended assistance to all Syrians inside and outside of Syria.”

  5. “The Security Council must strongly promote the transition to a political process in which violence is ceased and humanitarian access is improved under the leadership of Special Envoy, Mr. Staffan de Mistura. The joint investigation of the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons identified those responsible for the use of chemical weapons in Syria last month. This month, it was reported that chlorine-based attacks were conducted in Syria. The use of chemical weapons is utterly unacceptable in any circumstances. The Security Council must unite in order to hold perpetrators to account and bring those responsible to justice.”

  6. “Mr. Abe (Japan) (spoke in Japanese; English text provided by the delegation): Our agenda today, the situation in Syria, is an urgent one. This ongoing international crisis requires a show of solidarity from the Security Council. We discussed Syria at the Group of Seven (G-7) Ise-Shima Summit this year and confirmed the importance of cooperation among G-7 members. Today, I would like to reaffirm our commitment in the Security Council. We deeply deplore the situation that the nationwide cessation of hostilities based on the agreement between the United States and Russia is in danger. The International Syria Support Group was convened yesterday and the commitment was reaffirmed that the international community as a whole will support the agreement. Japan took part in that commitment.”

  7. “Mr. Abe: Ijust have a few words to say. I would like once again to express my thanks for the opportunity provided today by this open debate on the question of small arms. I also wish to thank the delegations that expressed words of encouragement to the Secretariat for the continuation and intensification of our work. Those of us in the Secretariat - its departments and branches - will be intensifying our work with renewed vigour. We shall also be strengthening our coordination within the Secretariat and with the related agencies.”

  8. “The Secretary-General is encouraged by the continued efforts of the Security Council to address the challenge posed by illicit small arms and light weapons in the context of matters under the Council's consideration. I am confident that this meeting will contribute to strengthening the achievements obtained thus far, as well as to identifying the best approaches to addressing the areas of continued concern.”

  9. “That session considered a draft international instrument prepared on the basis of discussions held at the Working Group's first substantive session. Although the Open-ended Working Group seems to be moving closer to an agreement on a number of technical issues, it is still far from reaching a consensus on some important issues, particularly the nature of the international instrument. The challenge facing the Open-ended Working Group is to build a consensus on the various substantive issues by the end of its third session in June 2005. I trust that Member States will muster the political will necessary to bridge the differences and to bring that process to a positive outcome.”

  10. “The report also underscores that more needs to he done in a number of areas, namely the links between illicit small arms and light weapons and the illicit exploitation of natural and other resources; greater support for the reintegration of former combatants into their communities; greater interaction between the Security Council and the General Assembly on the issue of small arms and light weapons; and support for the establishment of the Small Arms Advisory Service. Today's open debate on small arms takes place in the wake of the second substantive session of the Open-ended Working Group to negotiate an international instrument to enable States to identify and trace, in a timely and reliable manner, illicit small arms and light weapons, which was held recently at Headquarters in New York.”

  11. “The systematic establishment of monitoring mechanisms to support, monitor and assess the implementation of sanctions and to provide technical advice to the sanctions committees is an important development. Equally noteworthy is the adoption by the Council of measures to identify and punish violators of arms embargoes as well as those who support such violations. The greater attention being given by the Security Council to the specific needs of women and children and the receiving communities in the context of the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of combatants in post-conflict situations is also commendable. In that connection, also noteworthy is the demobilization of thousands of child soldiers in Afghanistan, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Liberia and Sierra Leone.”

  12. “(spoke in English) Much progress has been achieved in some key areas, such as the efforts to enhance cooperation to enable States to trace illicit small arms and light weapons; measures to increase the effectiveness of sanctions; the adoption of more rigorous measures against violations of arms embargoes; control over the export and transit of small arms and light weapons, including international efforts to address the problem of illicit brokering in such weapons; and transparency in armaments. The increasingly vigorous actions recently taken by the Security Council with respect to the implementation of sanctions and arms embargoes are particularly encouraging.”

  13. “Those recommendations covered four main topics: first, the implementation of the Programme of Action on small arms and light weapons; secondly, Security Council-mandated sanctions and arms embargoes; thirdly, conflict prevention, peacebuilding and the demobilization, disarmament and reintegration of former combatants; and fourthly, confidence-building measures. The present report was prepared by the Department for Disarmament Affairs in close consultation with the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, the Department of Political Affairs, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Children's Fund and the International Criminal Police Organization.”

  14. “I am honoured today to introduce the report of the Secretary-General on small arms, contained in document S/2005/69. Pursuant to the request made by the President of the Security Council in his statement of 19 January 2004, this report provides an overview of the initiatives undertaken to further implement the recommendations contained in the report of the Secretary-General on small arms of 20 September 2002 on ways and means by which the Security Council could contribute to dealing with the question of the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons in situations under its consideration.”

  15. “Mr. Abe: I shall be very brief. I wish to thank delegations for the expressions of appreciation and encouragement they have given to the work of the Secretariat concerning small arms. The Secretariat will continue working on the question of small arms on the basis of the discussions held in the Council today. The Secretariat will stand ready to assist any further work of the Security Council concerning small arms and light weapons. Finally, the Secretariat will be reporting to the Council as appropriate.”

  17. “I am referring first, to the First Biennial Meeting of States, held in New York from 7 to 11 July 2003, which allowed States, international and regional organizations and civil society to draw lessons from the first two years of implementation of the Programme of Action adopted at the July 2001 United Nations Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects; and secondly, the establishment, by the General Assembly at its fifty- eighth session, of an open-ended working group to negotiate an international instrument on tracing illicit small arms and light weapons, which will start its substantive work soon.”

  18. “The report also identifies some areas of greater challenge, namely: the enforcement of Security Council resolutions on sanctions; the imposition of coercive measures against Member States that deliberately violate arms embargoes; restriction on the supply of ammunition to areas of instability; and the need to finance demobilization, disarmament and reintegration programmes through the assessed budget for peacekeeping operations. Today's open debate on small arms takes place in the wake of two events of particular significance in the global fight against the proliferation of illicit small arms and light weapons.”
