  1. “This draft resolution could be an interim solution until that gap is addressed fully at a later stage. We also believe that the nature of this draft resolution, as well as possible future actions, should be based on a broad consensus in the international community. It is well known that we have our own regional concerns on this issue, but we stress that other regions have responsibilities and obligations with regard to non- State actors and weapons of mass destruction. This issue is a collective responsibility that requires cooperation and commitment by one and all. Lastly, Kuwait will cooperate fully in the implementation of this draft resolution once it is adopted.”

  2. “While my delegation associates itself with the statement made by Malaysia on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) countries, it also welcomes and lends its moral and political support to the draft resolution. We would like to highlight the following points. It is of the utmost importance that we continue to strengthen multilateral institutions and fully implement international treaties dealing with issues of disarmament and non-proliferation, which we consider mutually reinforcing processes. All Security Council resolutions are legally binding on Member States, in accordance with Article 25 of the Charter. We agree that a gap exists within the international treaty regime, which does not address the nexus between weapons of mass destruction and non-State actors.”

  3. “That is the only way of building peace, a peace that in turn will make it possible for the Palestinian people to enjoy their right to self-determination and to build an independent State on their territory with Jerusalem as their capital.”

  4. “The fact that the Security Council was unable to adopt a clear position after Israel's assassination of Sheikh Yassin only encouraged Israel to continue its immoral policy. There is no doubt that the fact that Israel is continuing these practices, these actions of terror that are in fact war crimes, will thwart all efforts at peace in the Middle East. This can only exacerbate the cycle of violence, which in turn will have a negative impact on the entire region. The international community must urge all parties to comply with Security Council resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 1397 (2002), the principle of land for peace and the road map adopted by the Quartet.”

  5. “Kuwait once again condemns this assassination, this act of terrorism committed by the Israeli Government, and emphasizes that it condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. This abominable crime is part of Israel's criminal practices that run counter to international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949. It is also an attempt to torpedo all efforts at peace in the Middle East. We appeal to the Security Council to assume its responsibilities and to act expeditiously, soundly and strictly to put an end to Israel's arrogant policy of disregarding international conventions and treaties. We appeal to the Council to give immediate protection to the Palestinian people, a people who are, on a daily basis, the targets and victims of acts of terrorism.”

  6. “Ms. Al-Mulla (Kuwait) (spoke in Arabic): I want to thank you, Mr. President, for having responded so promptly to our request for convening this meeting. I want to take up where I left off a few weeks ago, when I spoke before the Security Council following the assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Israel's policy prompts us to wonder what are the results of the international community's fight against terrorism when Israeli State terrorism continues unabated before the very eyes of the whole world and no end is put to this fierce escalation. The Security Council is meeting today to examine yet another Israeli assassination, another extrajudicial execution of one of the emblematic figures of the Palestinian people, the head of Hamas, Mr. Abdel Aziz Al-Rantisi.”

  7. “We call upon the Israeli Government to listen for once to the voice of reason and to renounce its policies of provocation, which create more tension, provoke hatred and lead to violence and extremism in the region. Instead, it should courageously seek peace, which would require an end to the occupation, and enter a dialogue through negotiations, rather than employ a policy of killings, ongoing destruction and the violation of the resolutions of the international community. Israel's continuation of its policies prompts us to wonder about the outcome of international efforts to combat terrorism at a time when Israel is deliberately and openly practising State terrorism before the eyes of the entire world, without any intention of ending the bloodshed.”

  8. “The Council should prompt Israel to respect the resolutions adopted in accordance with international law and put an end to Israel's efforts to undermine international efforts to achieve a just and comprehensive peace based on the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, in particular resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973) and 1397 (2002), as well as the Arab peace initiative and the principle of land for peace. The Council should also call upon Israel to withdraw fully from all occupied Arab territories, including the Syrian Golan Heights and the Lebanese territories. In conclusion, I wish to underline the fact that Kuwait has always supported the demands of the Palestinian people, in particular the right to self- determination and the right to establish an independent State on its own land, with Al-Quds as its capital.”

  9. “Kuwait fully supports the statement issued by the Gulf Cooperation Council in which it denounced this heinous crime, which clearly exemplifies Israel's policy of State terrorism. Kuwait joins those who have stressed the need for providing international protection to the Palestinian people. Kuwait calls upon the Security Council to assume its responsibilities, to condemn this crime and to adopt the necessary measures to force the Israeli Government to put an end to its illegal practices and policies.”

  10. “Kuwait once again extends its condolences to the family of the victim, his colleagues and the brotherly Palestinian people. Kuwait considers the assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin to be an atrocious war crime, to be added to the list of crimes committed against humanity by Israel, in violation of the principles of international law and in complete disregard of its commitments under the Fourth Geneva Convention. Israel is also disregarding the position of the international community, which has consistently denounced the policy of assassinations and extrajudicial killings pursued by Israel and its other policies of aggression carried out against Palestinian civilians in the occupied territories.”

  11. “It is a policy pursued by a Government that is said to be seeking peace and not violence, and which claims to be a Government of peace, not a Government of war. We denounce this immoral and criminal act perpetrated by a country that is a party to the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention. Kuwait strongly condemns the terrorist operation perpetrated by the Israeli Government at dawn on Monday, which caused the death of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and seven others. The Israeli military establishment was not content to launch one rocket; it launched two more. That operation was a crime that revealed once again the barbarity of the Israeli occupation, which has mercilessly assassinated an old man while he was leaving, after his dawn prayers, the mosque where he prayed every day.”

  12. “Ms. Al-Mulla (Kuwait) (spoke in Arabic): On behalf of my Government, I congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the current month. I also pay tribute to the efforts of your predecessor, our friend, the representative of China, for his wise leadership of the Council's work last month. I also take this opportunity to thank the Council for its prompt response to the Arab Group's request to convene this meeting to discuss the heinous crime committed by the Israeli Government in assassinating Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and others. That deplorable action was one of a series of assassinations targeting the Palestinian people and their national icons.”
