  2. “The number of conflicts throughout the world has increased, especially in the Middle East. That has led to a significant rise in crimes related to the trafficking in persons, especially against displaced Syrians fleeing conflict zones. Unfortunately, human traffickers have exploited the dire need and the desperate humanitarian situation of victims, who are often forced to compromise their dignity and their humanity and who fall prey to criminals who exploit their bodies for financial gain. In conclusion, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would like to stress its firm rejection of all forms oftrafficking in persons under any pretext.”

  3. “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has ratified many relevant international instruments, notably the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its two Protocols - the Palermo Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, and the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air- as well as other International Labour Organization conventions, in particular Conventions No. 182 and No. 209. Furthermore, we have ratified the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, as well as the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Slavery Convention of 1926 and its subsequent protocol.”

  4. “Countries around the world know full well how important it is to enact legal texts that prohibit those practices and punish its perpetrators. My country has also established a standing committee for combating trafficking in persons under its human rights commission. Its members include representatives from Government bodies to coordinate national efforts to combat trafficking in persons and put in place plans to address them, as well as put forward recommendations that ensure that no violations are committed against categories targeted by trafficking in persons. The commission is tasked with following up on the implementation of the recommendations.”

  5. “Countries around the world and specialized international organizations have sought to develop their tools and enact laws to deter this crime and reduce its social, economic and psychological impact. At the national level, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has sought to combat trafficking in persons at the legislative, organizational and institutional levels, in addition, to other national efforts and measures to prevent crimes of trafficking in persons, prosecute and punish its perpetrators, protect its victims and enhance international cooperation with countries and relevant regional and international organizations. A law to combat trafficking in persons was promulgated in my country in 2009. That legislation constitutes an important step forward in our efforts to combat these types of crimes.”

  6. “Our meeting today to discuss this topic is a clear reflection of those efforts. We are hopeful that this debate will help us find solutions to this problem, address its root causes and put in place a future plan to ensure its full eradication. Our meeting is taking place to discuss a crime that is condemned by the entire world. It is a blatant violation of human rights. Regrettably, the majority of its victims are women, girls and children. Almost all countries around the world are affected by this phenomenon - whether as countries of origin, transit or destination. Owing to the numerous conflicts around the world, this crime has been on the rise recently and has taken on various forms.”

  7. “Mr. Al Saad (Saudi Arabia) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, allow me to extend the condolences of my country to the Russian Federation and Germany for the unfortunate incidents that took place recently. We resolutely condemn those terrorist attacks. I would like to thank the President of the Government of the Kingdom of Spain, Mr. Mariano Rajoy Brey, for organizing this important open debate. I should also like to extend our thanks and appreciation for the President's efforts in ensuring the success of this important debate on trafficking in persons in conflict situations. We appreciate the efforts of the United Nations and its agencies to eradicate this crime by enacting relevant laws and regulations and mobilizing international efforts to combat this phenomenon.”

  8. “We call on all active parties to cooperate immediately in implementing the Geneva Communique (see resolution 2118 (2013), annex II), including the call for a transitional governing body with wide executive powers that seeks to establish a future Syria that will embrace all well-intentioned Syrians, regardless of their religious, political or ethnic affiliations. It will be a Syria that rejects terrorism, violence, fanaticism and extremism and not a Syria for those who have killed their own people.”

  9. “The Kingdom of Saudia Arabia views with grave concern the ongoing suffering ofits brothers, the Syrian people, who continue to face an oppressive regime that bombards their villages and cities with barrel bombs and uses chemical weapons against its own people. In abdicating its own sovereignty, it has granted foreign Powers and militias, which are equally criminal, the opportunity to participate in a genocide that the regime has waged against its own people in a grave escalation that will have serious consequences in the region.”

  10. “Of that there can be no doubt. Israel must respond immediately to and abide by international decisions and the Arab Peace Initiative. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia also calls on the Security Council to intervene immediately to protect our children in Palestine. We appeal to the Council to demonstrate a reaction commensurate with the gravity of the situation and with the seriousness of its responsibility. The Council should not be content with issuing repeated statements. It must act courageously to grant the Palestinian people the right to self-determination leading to the establishment of an independent State, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, on the basis of the borders of June 1967, and to end tragedy that has afflicted Palestine ever since.”

  11. “Who can blame the Palestinians for feeling that settlers can walk into their villages and neighbourhoods like criminals and stalk their children, families and property? Who can blame the Palestinians for trying to defend themselves in their occupied towns and cities, in Jerusalem and other Palestinian territories? And who can deny Palestinians the right to seek international protection to defend their land, their sons and their holy sites? The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia calls on the international community once again to say no to Israeli occupation, injustice and arrogance, to end to the bloodshed and to hold the Government of the Israeli occupation legally and criminally accountable for its flagrant crimes and violations against the Palestinian people, which can truly be considered war crimes and crimes against humanity.”

  12. “Nor should we forget that Israel demolished the gates of Al-Haram Al-Sharif and the protective fences around the courtyard and turned them into places of prayer for Jews without taking their sanctity for Muslims into account. Let us not forget that Israeli extremists set fire to the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron and attacked people at their prayers, and built a temple and a memorial to glorify the base acts of those killers. Therefore, who can really blame the Palestinians if they mistrust the intentions of Israel and its Government with respect to the preservation and security of the Al-Aqsa Mosque or with rspect to changing its historic status quo? Who can blame the Palestinians for reacting in the face of the Israeli occupation when its officials call for Israeli settlers and occupiers to fight to the death?”

  13. “Let us recall the reasons behind the acts of violence that began with repeated acts of aggression by the Israelis against Al-Haram Al-Sharif, when settlers and soldiers stormed the precincts of the Mosque without even taking off their shoes. The Israeli Government tried to impose a new pattern of spatial division and restrictws access based on time slots to one of the sites most revered by Muslims everywhere. Let us not forget that Israel has failed to protect the Islamic holy sites. The Al-Aqsa Mosque was set on fire by Israeli extremists shortly after the Israelis occupied Jerusalem. There were also repeated attempts to demolish Al-Haram Al-Sharif and to excavate beneath it with the aim of destabilizing the building or causing its collapse.”

  14. “Mr. A] Saad (Saudi Arabia) (spoke in Arabic): Allow me at the outset to thank you, Sir, for convening this open debate on the situation in the Middle East. I would like to express particular thanks to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Spain for the attention and importance he attaches to this question. We meet today as young Palestinians are being killed by bullets fired by the Israeli occupation forces, and while blood continues to flow in the courtyards of Al-Haram Al-Sharif, in its vicinity and at its gates. Israeli soldiers and terrorist settlers rush out to kill, destroy and burn. One of them even proudly posted a video of a bleeding Palestinian boy he had shot, while cursing the boy and wishing him dead.”
