  1. “In our view, they represent the best way to resolve and settle many of the issues facing the international community. We therefore hope to see certain States move away from unilateral measures that are inconsistent with the principles of the United Nations and international law. Peace and security demand that we believe in multilateralism, joint work and commitment to the Charter of the United Nations. That is what Member States chose when they founded the Organization, and that is what we should work for and achieve.”

  2. “Maintaining international peace and security has always been one of the most important purposes for which the United Nations was established, and the President's initiative is consistent with Member States' growing interest in multilateralism, as also expressed by the Secretary-General and the Acting President of the General Assembly. There can be no doubt that our many and diverse issues with global impact require global solutions and cooperation on the part of all States, big and small, especially with regard to the importance of reforming the mechanisms of the work of the United Nations and of avoiding double standards in the implementation of justice and international law. The Sultanate of Oman believes in the United Nations and in multilateralism and joint international action.”

  3. “Mr. Al Harthy (Oman) (spoke in Arabic): Let me begin by congratulating you, Mr. President, and your friendly country, the People's Republic of China, on your presidency of the Security Council this month. We are confident that your wisdom and your country's policies will help you to steer the Council's work and achieve the right results. Today, at the President's initiative, the Council is discussing a subject that is very important to Member States and the international community 4 the maintenance of international peace and security in a multilateral world.”

  4. “The Sultanate is willing and ready to continue playing this positive role to help resolve the issues particularly in our region, in collaboration with international organizations and the parties concerned. The world - and our region in particular - faces many challenges and wars. The peoples of the region are paying the price, at the expense of their security, stability and development. Therefore today, more than ever before, we need to advance mediation, peaceful settlements and diplomacy to avoid further loss and destruction. In conclusion, we hope that the role of the United Nations - including that of the Security Council and the Secretary-General, as well as all peace-loving countries - will be strengthened in order to synergize efforts for the success of mediation all over the world so that international peace and security prevail.”

  5. “That is the original means of taking action; it is the normal course to be taken by humankind, designed to resolve disagreements through dialogue and reaching understanding. Several prerequisites are necessary for any mediation so succeed. They include, credibility, sustainability and impartiality towards all disputing parties. Each party should have its minimum demands and aspirations met. In the Sultanate of Oman, we strongly believe that dialogue is the best means to resolve any dispute. This is a fundamental principle in Oman's foreign policy. Upon the directives of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said, the Sultanate has assumed its regional and international role guided by that lofty principle.”

  6. “Mr. Al Harthy (Oman) (spoke in Arabic): As we are approaching the end of the month, I would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, on successfully presiding over the Security Council during August and on the activities organized, including this debate. I would like to associate myself with the statement delivered by the representative of Turkey on behalf of the Group of Friends on Mediation, of which Oman is a member. We support the efforts of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to enhance the concept of sustainable peace and to establish the High-level Advisory Board on Mediation, comprised of high-profile persons with distinguished expertise. The use of mediation, diplomacy and political means in resolving disputes at the international level is a key principle in the work of the United Nations, including the work of the Council.”

  7. “We call on all regional and international entities and organizations to support these efforts. In conclusion, we would like to stress that the Middle East suffers from a great many crises and new conflicts. It cannot withstand any escalation. We believe that dialogue on political and peaceful solutions is the best way to find lasting and permanent resolutions to all of those issues.”

  8. “In relation to Yemen in particular, we have no doubt that developments there have exacerbated already deteriorating economic and security conditions for the Yemeni people. We highly commend the efforts of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Yemen for his work to restore peace and stability in that brotherly country. We call on all Yemeni political parties to support such efforts by engaging in a meaningful dialogue to reach a political solution that would bring the crisis to an end. I would like to stress that Oman is ready to assume its role in attaining that goal by cooperating with all parties concerned. I also stress that my country will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to Yemeni refugees and internally displaced persons.”

  9. “We call on the international community to support all efforts that will help to achieve that noble goal, aspired to by all peace-loving countries. In Oman, peace and dialogue have been key principles since the opening of Oman, which began on 23 July 1970. We believe that dialogue is the principal means by which to deal with all disputes. Nations can achieve rapprochement through joint visions. We are fully convinced that dialogue is the best way to resolve differences peacefully, as opposed to through confrontation and conflict. Based on that principle, and with respect to current issues in the region, such as those in Yemen, Syria and Libya, Oman has been working to achieve convergence and to encourage all adversaries to renounce their differences and come to the negotiating table. Oman has hosted many meetings in that respect.”

  10. “However, we should not forget the plight of people who have been living under occupation for more than 70 years and still hope to attain their right to self-determination by establishing an independent country within the borders of 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international decisions and resolutions. Israel is taking advantage of the extraordinary situation in the region to establish and expand settlements. That will complicate international efforts to find a solution to the Palestinian question and will kill hopes for peace and the two-State solution. We call for serious negotiations to reach a comprehensive and lasting settlement that will uphold the rights of all parties to live in peace, side-by-side.”

  11. “Mr. Al Harthy (Oman) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to congratulate the United States on presiding over the Council for this month and thank its delegation for holding this meeting. Oman aligns itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Jordan on behalf of the Group of Arab States. Oman believes that the Palestinian question is essential to stability in the Middle East. Without ajust and satisfactory solution to such a question, it will be very difficult to establish normal relations among the States and peoples of the region. Unfortunately, we now feel that the Palestinian question and other issues in the Middle East are falling lower on the agenda of the international community because attention is being given to other, potentially more urgent issues.”
