  1. “The positive results from the efforts of the League of Arab States and the United Nations in recent years are a testament to the ability to make tangible progress through joint cooperation. However, we must also redouble our efforts to achieve peace and stability, support development and foster economic prosperity in the Arab region and beyond. I resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to those members of the Council who wish to make statements.”

  2. “This reality has enhanced the commitment of Arab countries to actively participate in international efforts to address climate change. As my country prepares to host the twenty-eighth Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, we look forward to cooperating with all our partners to make tangible strides towards ambitious climate action, including through a holistic approach that focuses on practical solutions and builds on the work done at the twenty-seventh Conference of the Parties, held in Egypt. In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that the United Arab Emirates will continue to play its active role throughout its Council membership and beyond in order to support the Council’s work in reaching decisions that can contribute to resolving outstanding issues.”

  3. “The growing number of urgent humanitarian crises underscores the pressing need for expanding regional and international cooperation and coordination, as well as enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in aid provision. This approach will help overcome challenges that arise from inadequate coordination in humanitarian response, and ensure benefiting from past experiences, such as the recent earthquake that impacted Syria and Türkiye. Arab perspectives are crucial not only when dealing with Arab crises but also when confronting common global challenges, including the adverse impacts of climate change, which has become an existential threat to our world today, including our region, which is grappling with severe droughts.”

  4. “For instance, in December 2022, the United Arab Emirates hosted the official launching of the Arab Declaration to Combat All Forms of Violence against Women and Girls. We also continue our efforts at the national level to empower women, who now occupy distinctive status across various fields. Given that half of the Arab region’s population is under the age of 25, the United Arab Emirates supported the establishment of the Arab Youth Center, which seeks to foster the capabilities of Arab youth, while promoting innovation and creativity and, in turn, nurturing a new generation of young Arab leaders. In that context, we welcome the development of an Arab regional strategy on youth, peace and security.”

  5. “The Security Council’s mandate on conflict prevention requires us to foster the values of tolerance and human fraternity as well as to address the drivers of conflict, including hate speech, racism, intolerance and extremism. We will delve further into this topic next week when the Council holds a high-level briefing on human fraternity for the first time, which will illustrate the role that those values play in achieving global peace. It is also important to continue supporting efforts to empower and protect women and girls across the Arab region and across all fields. Women are active contributors to the region’s development, and the United Arab Emirates has supported several initiatives aimed at achieving that goal at both the regional and international levels.”

  6. “We also applaud the existing collaboration between the Secretary-Generals of the United Nations and the League of Arab States on the Sudan and Libya files, and we encourage expanding that cooperation to encompass other regional issues. It is also critical for the two organizations to strengthen their cooperation and coordination in the area of counter-terrorism. In that regard, we welcome the new plan for implementing the Arab counter- terrorism strategy, which aligns with the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. We also welcome the exchange of visits and information among the specialized agencies of the two organizations, and we call for continuing those efforts.”

  7. “In the light of those advancements, we hope that the United Nations, particularly the Security Council, will persist in supporting and encouraging those Arab initiatives and endeavours to build a robust and balanced regional order that achieves stability and lays a solid foundation for comprehensive development in the region. Those positive and rapid changes pave the way for significant breakthroughs in a number of conflicts through practical and realistic solutions. We therefore call for strengthening the institutional relationship between the United Nations and the League of Arab States in order to confront those shared challenges. That includes enhancing the work of the Liaison Office to the League of Arab States, which plays an important role in this domain.”

  8. “They have also made valiant efforts towards improving relations with neighbouring States in the region and making important mediation efforts to resolve ongoing conflicts in Palestine, Yemen, the Sudan and Libya. In that context, we express our appreciation in particular for the efforts led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, along with the United States, to facilitate talks between the Sudanese parties. Moreover, the reinstatement of Syria in the League of Arab States has provided an opportunity for strengthening the Arab role in resolving the Syrian crisis while also complementing the role of the United Nations in that regard.”

In the light of today’s briefings and the growing cooperation between the two organizations, I would like to focus my statement on the most prominent aspects that require an increase in efforts between the United Nations and the League of Arab States in the coming period. Since the Council last convened on this topic (see S/PV.9001), the Arab region has witnessed a rise in diplomatic and political activities aimed at overcoming conflict, settling differences and embarking on a new era of stability and prosperity. Today our Arab countries are moving towards greater rapprochement and integration throughout the region, while strengthening cooperation with partners in the East and West.”
