  1. “Therefore, we call for strengthening cooperation between the relevant United Nations institutions and regional organizations, including the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Tajikistan stands ready for an open and constructive dialogue with all interested parties aimed at finding solutions to current security and stability challenges faced by Afghanistan and the region and at facilitating regional economic development. Once again, Mr. President, please accept my sincere congratulations on your assumption of the Council presidency. I wish you and your team every success in fulfilling your noble commitments.”

  2. “Tajikistan's policy in the region is based on developing and strengthening good-neighbourly relations and expanding traditional practices of fraternal coexistence with all neighbouring countries. We have made them a priority in our international relations. We believe that supporting Afghanistan's economic revival and social development is the best tool for maintaining its peace and stability and for ensuring security in the region. Therefore, we would like to call on the international community to increase its assistance in supporting socioeconomic development and improving the security situation in Afghanistan. Furthermore, we note in particular the role of the regional organizations in ensuring peace and security in Afghanistan.”

  3. “The Government of Tajikistan has decided to provide scholarships to approximately 1,000citizens of Afghanistan until 2025. Tajikistan will continue its efforts to further strengthen cooperation with the Government of Afghanistan and international partners in the social, economic and security spheres with a view to supporting peace, stability and socioeconomic development in that neighbouring country. At the same time, we believe that an increase in targeted assistance by the international community, with the United Nations playing a central and coordinating role, remains vitally important. We are confident that the Central Asian countries need to further intensify economic cooperation with Afghanistan. Afghanistan's active involvement in regional projects is crucial.”

  4. “In that regard, I would like to highlight the importance of the timely implementation of regional transport, communications and energy projects, including the Central Asia South Asia Electricity Transmission and Trade project - CASA-1000. To facilitate trade with Afghanistan, Tajikistan, with the assistance of the international community, has built five bridges on the Panj River and established two free economic zones on the border with Afghanistan, which significantly increased the volume of trade between the two countries. One of the factors contributing to the maintenance of peace and stability in Afghanistan is the development of the education system. Currently, more than 500 students study in Tajikistan universities.”

  5. “Tajikistan, as an advocate of the restoration of peace and security in Afghanistan through economic and social development, believes that regional cooperation is an important element for strengthening stability in that war-torn country and in the entire region. The joint promotion of projects in the fields of transport, communications, energy, investment, education, human resources, border management and other areas could become a basis for the rehabilitation and sustainable development of Afghanistan. Being at the crossroads of Eurasia, Afghanistan could gain access to some of the fastest-growing markets in the world and serve as a transit hub for the expansion of trade between Europe, Asia and the Middle East.”

  6. “I consider it necessary to emphasize that all countries of the region should give priority to developing cooperation in combating illicit drug trafficking and developing concerted actions aimed at counteracting this evil. The complex military and political situation in Afghanistan requires us not only to mobilize domestic resources, but also to improve the military and security infrastructure at the border and to provide the border guards with modern technologies and equipment so as to ensure efficient border management and prevent undesirable incidents at the border. At present, the law enforcement agencies of Tajikistan and Afghanistan are closely collaborating on those issues.”

  7. “I must note that the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan adopted a national strategy on combating illicit drug trafficking for 2013-2020 and a sectoral programme for the implementation of that strategy with a view to combating illicit trafficking in narcotics. It is obvious that the fight against drug trafficking requires the joint efforts of countries at the regional and international levels, because no country alone can deal with this threat and its related crimes. Unfortunately, nowadays, despite the growing threat of drug trafficking, as evidenced by the record expansion ofthe opium poppy cultivation area in Afghanistan in 2017, not enough attention is paid to combating it.”

  8. “Combating drug trafficking and drug abuse is part of the fight against organized crime, international terrorism and extremism, and the fight is carried out through implementation of foreign policy and through economic, legal, organizational, technical, operational, preventive and other measures. Coordinated activities of the Central Asian States in this sphere of common interests are carried out by their special drug-control coordinating agencies. The Republic of Tajikistan, like any other State in the region around Afghanistan, bears the brunt of the fight against drug trafficking. Thanks to the measures taken by the Government of Tajikistan, as well as the support of donor countries and international organizations, including the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, our country has made visible progress in that direction.”

  9. “Tajikistan, which shares a long border with Afghanistan, bears the brunt of the security challenges and cannot remain indifferent to the current situation on that border. The activation of radical terrorist groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, the Taliban, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, the Ansarullah Movement and others in the northern districts of the country against the backdrop of the significant influx of narcotics, weapons and human resources is a matter of great concern to us. Another threat that has a significant impact on the adoption of measures to ensure stability and security in Tajikistan, Central Asia and beyond, and which requires the joint effort of the international community, is illicit drug trafficking.”

  10. “Today, the worsening situation in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the threats coming from its territory are of particular concern. The military- political situation in the bordering northern provinces of the country has a steady tendency towards complication. The expansion of international terrorism, the increase in extremism, transnational organized crime and drug trafficking and the exacerbation of environmental issues such as climate change and desertification are among the most pressing challenges faced by the region today. That current situation requires that the countries of the region take more robust action and make firm commitments by facilitating regional cooperation and partnerships based on a fair, effective and mutually beneficial economic system.”

  11. “At the outset, I would like to congratulate Kazakhstan on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the first time, and to thank the delegation for convening today's ministerial-level debate on the very important topic of building regional partnership in Afghanistan and Central Asia as a model to link security and development. I would also like to thank Secretary-General Antenio Guterres for his very constructive briefing. Central Asia and Afghanistan - once a foothold of global political and economic development, a hub of science, philosophy and intellectual life and a region that bridged civilizations from Asia to Europe via the Silk Road - have undergone significant changes throughout their long history.”

  12. “The OIC demands that Israel abide fully and immediately by resolution 497 (1981) and withdraw fully from the occupied Syrian Golan to the lines of 4 June 1967, in implementation of resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973).”

  13. “The OIC remains deeply concerned by Israel's ongoing air and land violations of Lebanon's sovereignty in breach of resolution 1701 (2006), and calls on it to withdraw fully from the remaining Lebanese occupied territories. The OIC also associates itself with the position of the international community to the effect that all measures and actions taken or to be taken by Israel, the occupying Power, to alter the legal, physical and demographic status of the occupied Syrian Golan and its institutional structures, as well as Israel's measures to impose its jurisdiction and administration there, are null and void and have no international legal effect.”

  14. “In the meanwhile, we reaffirm through this international platform that such illegal Israeli practices will surely undermine diplomatic efforts to restore constructive negotiations, and ultimately squander the historic opportunity to make peace and coexistence a reality. At this critical juncture, the international community must shoulder its responsibilities and put a decisive end to the Israeli policy of settlement-building on Palestinian land, including East Jerusalem. Israel 11-21096 must comply with the will of the international community, abide by the resolutions of international legitimacy and respect the provisions of international law. For all these reasons, Israel must stop building and expanding illegal settlements in order to enhance the prospects for a viable two-State solution.”

  15. “It continues to build the separation wall, confiscate lands, demolish houses, construct new settlement neighbourhoods, and excavate beneath the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. All these activities seek to completely change the facts on the ground, and ultimately to isolate occupied East Jerusalem from its Palestinian surroundings. Settlement construction, if allowed to continue, will make Jerusalem the capital of hatred, fanaticism and violence instead of the capital of tolerance and coexistence. The choice before Israel, the occupying Power, is clear. If peace and international justice are to prevail, the demolition and colonial settlement policies must stop.”

  16. “All those illegal acts are being undertaken despite unprecedented international unanimity in calling on Israel to stop such unlawful and unilateral activities, which flagrantly violate The Hague and Geneva Conventions, and the resolutions of the Security Council and UNESCO on East Jerusalem, and defy the united international opinion. East Jerusalem remains an integral part of the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967. Its illegal annexation by Israel has been rejected and remains unrecognized by the international community. However, Israel, the occupying Power, pursues a systematic process of altering the historical Arab- Islamic identity of the holy city, Judaizing and tampering with its history, and changing its demographic composition.”

  17. “Mr. Aslov (Tajikistan) (spoke in Russian): I have the great honour to make this statement on behalf of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) group. 11-21096 At the outset, I wish to thank you, Madame, for having convened this meeting to consider the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. I should also like to convey my gratitude to the Under- Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Mr. Lynn Pascoe, for his very detailed briefing. Israel, the occupying Power, has methodically stepped up its violations in the occupied Palestinian territories by confiscating lands, demolishing houses, building illegal settlements, constructing the separation wall, erecting numerous checkpoints, detaining thousands of Palestinians and imposing an unjust blockade on the Gaza.”

The OIC Group would also like to stress that peace in the Middle East can be achieved only by ending the Israeli occupation of Palestinian and Arab land occupied since 1967, establishing an independent State of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital, and achieving a comprehensive and just solution for the plight of Palestinian refugees, in accordance with General Assembly resolution 194 (III) of 1948.”

  20. “The OIC remains deeply concerned by Israel's ongoing air and land violations of Lebanon's sovereignty, in breach of resolution 1701 (2006). We call on Israel to withdraw fully from the remaining Lebanese occupied land in the Shebaa farm lands, the Kfar Shouba Hills and the northern part of Al-Ghajar village. The OIC also joins the international community in reaffirming that all measures and actions taken, or to be taken, by Israel, the occupying Power, to alter the legal, physical and demographic status of the occupied Syrian Golan and its institutional structure, as well as the Israeli measures to impose jurisdiction and administration there, are null and void and have no legal effect.”

  21. “The situation in East Jerusalem is a matter of great concern for the OIC and its member States. Israel's measures in occupied East Jerusalem are aimed at forcefully altering the historical character of the city. We consider Israel's decision to change the structure and shape of the centuries-old walls of the city an assault on its cultural heritage. Changing the demographic fabric of East Jerusalem through the expulsion of Palestinians from the city and expropriating their properties is a grave violation of international law. The situation in Gaza is also very worrying. One and a half million Palestinians are living in harsh conditions as a result of the shameful, illegal and unjustified Israeli blockade. Israel must lift the blockade and allow the reconstruction of Gaza.”

  22. “It is self-evident that building Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, jeopardizes the peace process. It also sends signals about Israel's real intentions. Israel cannot pretend to make peace with the Palestinians and at the same time persist in stealing their lands for settlements. It is therefore the responsibility of the international community to compel Israel, the occupying Power, to refrain from actions that would undermine peace efforts. In order for the peace process to succeed, Israel should halt all settlement activities - including so- called natural growth - in all occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. Also to be successful, the peace process should have a clear timeframe and clear implementation mechanisms.”

  23. “Mr. Aslov (Tajikistan) (spoke in Russian): I have the honour to make this statement on behalf of the of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Group. First of all, I would like to thank you, Sir, for organizing this debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine. I would also like to thank Assistant Secretary-General Fernandez- Taranco for the very important briefing he has given us. The stalemate in the Middle East process is very worrying, especially as it came as a result of Israel's attempts to dictate its own terms. The peace process cannot achieve genuine progress under the prevailing conditions. Israel should live up to its commitments and obligations, especially those stipulated by the agreements signed with the Palestinian side and enshrined in the Road Map.”

  27. “However, Israel, with disregard for human rights and innocent lives, carried out a military attack in international waters against the peaceful international convoy, killing and injuring innocent, unarmed international peace activists. As Council members realize, tinkering at the margins of the ongoing crisis in the Gaza Strip is not enough. The time has come to end the plight of more than 1.5 million Palestinians, lift the blockade and enable the people to live with dignity. Undoubtedly, the military attack on the freedom flotilla demands a prompt, full, impartial, transparent, independent and credible investigation conforming to international standards, based on the Security Council's presidential statement of 1 June (S/PRST/2010/9) and the resolution adopted by the Human Rights Council on 2 June.”

  28. “More than 1.5 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip under the blockade continue to suffer from a scarcity of food, electricity, medicine and construction materials. They await the day when the international community will take prompt action to end their tragedy and suffering by compelling Israel to immediately and fully lift the blockade and open all border crossings to allow for the free movement of persons and goods to and from the Gaza Strip. In response to the unjust Israeli blockade, the international flotilla of civilian activists set sail for Gaza to deliver humanitarian supplies and to break the blockade.”

  29. “Illegal 10-45934 Israeli settlers also continue to carry out provocations against the peaceful Palestinian population. These actions are illegal, discriminatory and provocative, and constitute flagrant violations of international law, including humanitarian and human rights law. The international community, including the Security Council, should act immediately and effectively to compel Israel to cease its illegal actions in the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in East Jerusalem. The illegal and inhuman blockade imposed by Israel, the occupying Power, on the Gaza Strip for more than three years constitutes collective punishment of the Palestinian civilian population, violates international law and qualifies as a crime against humanity.”

  30. “These actions include the recent Israeli decision to build new settlements in occupied East Jerusalem and to demolish Palestinian homes in several neighbourhoods in order to alter the character, status and demographic composition of the city. In addition to Israel's illegal colonial settlement activities, construction of the separation wall and demolition of Palestinian homes, it has revoked the residency rights of Palestinian J erusalemites, including four elected members of the Palestinian Legislative Council in order to deport them from Jerusalem. Moreover, Israel is continuing its illegal activities in the occupied West Bank, including imposing restrictions on the movement of persons and goods through numerous checkpoints, carrying out military incursions and illegally arresting Palestinians.”

  31. “Such a settlement will be achieved only by ending the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem and other Arab territories occupied since 1967, and by enabling the Palestinian people to establish their independent, sovereign and viable State based on the 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as its capital. In that regard, the OIC again calls on the international community, including the Security Council, to intensify its efforts to accelerate the Middle East peace process based on its responsibilities under the Charter. While we meet to address issues related to the question of Palestine and the situation in the Middle East, including Israel's attack on the freedom flotilla and its blockade of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Israel is undertaking other illegal and provocative actions in the holy city of Jerusalem.”

The thirty-seventh session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers, held in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, on 18 to 20 May 2010, once again stressed that the situation in the Middle East will remain tense as long as Israel persists with its illegal policies and practices and hinders the peace efforts, and until a just, lasting and comprehensive settlement of all aspects of the question of Palestine and the Arab-Israeli conflict is achieved.”
