  1. “The situation in the Middle East region constitutes one of the greatest moral debts owed by the international community, and especially by the United Nations and the Security Council. The Organization was born with a mandate to maintain international peace and security and to ensure compliance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the norms of coexistence and unwavering respect for international law. The international community expects the Security Council and the Organization as a whole to act with that historical perspective.”

  2. “The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela reaffirms its firm support for the legitimate and democratically elected Government in Beirut and for the territorial integrity, unity and political independence of Lebanon. It fully supports the reconstruction of Lebanon and reaffirms its condemnation of actions taken against that country. Here, we consider that complete implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) is essential. The abuse of the veto by the United States with respect to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has served as a cloak for major human rights violations which have been vigorously condemned by the United Nations, and in particular by the Human Rights Council. The violence in Iraq clearly shows the consequences of unilateral action taken in violation of international law, such as the United States invasion of Iraq.”

  3. “The Government of Israel has continued to move civilians into settlements that had previously been vacated, in clear violation of the Road Map. This has led to a 6-per-cent increase in the number of Israeli settlers in the West Bank, as Mr. Ibrahim Gambari, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, told the Council on 25 January (see S/PV.5624). Peace in the region will be achieved only with full implementation of the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, the Arab Peace Initiative, the principle of land for peace and the Road Map. My Government considers it crucial to establish an independent Palestinian State that will respond to the Palestinian people's aspirations to freedom, independence and security.”

  4. “We are convinced that the maintenance of international peace and security is founded on the premise that relations between States - regardless of their ideological, cultural or political differences - should be guided by strict commitment to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and by respect for international law, including the principle of peaceful coexistence between States. Our country has historically worked to promote a permanent solution to the Palestinian question in order to achieve stable and lasting peace in the Middle East. In that context, we have supported all agreements between the parties in the search for a peaceful negotiated solution. Hence, we consider it indispensable that the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people be fully realized.”

  5. “Mr. Arias Cz'trdenas (Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela) (spoke in Spanish): The delegation of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela congratulates the delegation of the Slovak Republic on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of February and on having convened this important debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. Our congratulations go also to the delegation of the Russian Federation on the excellent manner in which it presided over the work of the Council in January 2007. We thank Mr. Alvaro de Soto, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Personal Representative of the Secretary-General, for his briefing this morning. My delegation aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of Cuba on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement.”
