1. “Kazakhstan stands ready to join every collective mediation effort, especially that of calling on all Israeli and Palestinian leaders to demonstrate political goodwill so that both sides can live in peace, security, progress and prosperity, which are the long-cherished goals of both peoples.”

2. “Kazakhstan’s long-standing policy is to fully support the creation of an independent State of Palestine, which coexists peacefully with Israel within the 1967 borders and obtains full-fledged membership in the United Nations. We join others in emphasizing that the two-State solution is the only viable option for a durable peace; it is to be reached by dialogue, in keeping with the United Nations Charter and relevant Security Council resolutions. Other mechanisms and initiatives, both bilateral and multilateral, such as the road map for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative and a revived Middle East Quartet or a version of the Quartet adapted to the current context, should be availed of in order to resolve the situation today.”

3. “Kazakhstan reiterates the urgent need to support the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East in its critical role in mitigating the deteriorating situation in Gaza and promoting long- term development of the area. The current situation, which we are witnessing today, is one of deepening poverty, unemployment and, consequently, chronic economic regression which will fuel further conflict. The deterioration of the security and socioeconomic situation across the occupied Palestinian territory must be reversed. We thus again call on both sides to refrain from violence and to work towards a political settlement on the principle of two-States for two peoples. Such a concept should guarantee the inalienable right of Palestinians to statehood, together with Israel’s right to security.”

4. “Kazakhstan calls on Israelis and Palestinians to refrain from all actions that could undermine the advancement of a two-State solution. We hence appeal to all political, community and religious leaders to spare no efforts in ending the intensifying hostilities. In view of the above, Kazakhstan suggests a revival of dialogue among all parties to the conflict, accompanied by new measures for improving the humanitarian situation of the population of Gaza with a view to building confidence and reducing further threats. That is essential because Gaza remains an integral part of the two-State solution, in keeping with relevant and key United Nations resolutions.”

5. “We commend the presidency of the United Kingdom for hosting this debate on the Middle East, and we thank Assistant- Secretary-General Khiari for his briefing. We echo the warnings of Secretary-General António Guterres and other key players of the international community that the cycle of conflicts currently in the Middle East region, especially the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, is a cause for serious concern. That is because the conflict has the potential to escalate into further tensions at all levels, resulting in the destabilization of the entire region and beyond; and therefore demands our urgent attention. Kazakhstan joins the general concern about the continued settlement expansion across the occupied Palestinian territory. We are concerned by the recent escalation of violence in Jenin in the West Bank.”

6. “At the international level, we are contributing to the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women that funds projects in post-conflict settings. To conclude, I reiterate Kazakhstan’s strong commitment to fully implementing the women and peace and security agenda and promoting women’s dignity and gender empowerment.”

7. “Our country integrates all elements of the women and peace and security agenda, including on conflict- related sexual violence, in our national legislation, with new strong pro-women policies. Training on gender equality for the armed and security forces and women’s deployment in United Nations peacekeeping operations are a priority for Kazakhstan at the Kazakhstan Peace Operations Centre, our national peacekeeping training centre. At the regional level, we are supporting Afghanistan with a multidimensional approach of conflict prevention and resolution, recovery and reintegration, accompanied by humanitarian and development assistance, through strengthening the security and development nexus.”

8. “Cooperation with religious leaders, civil society and local communities is most important to change extremist narratives, shift the stigma of sexual violence to the perpetrators, promote education and create awareness on the empowerment of women. Kazakhstan strongly believes that preventing sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeepers should be an absolute priority, with a United Nations zero- tolerance policy for such offences. All troop and police contingents should have full training prior to and during deployment. We support greater recruitment of well-qualified women military and police officers and the deployment of women’s protection advisers to the peacekeeping missions.”

9. “An enhanced implementation of arms control and disarmament measures can contribute to both the long-term structural prevention and the short- term operational prevention of sexual violence in conflict. Our deliberations today make it clear that the international community should ensure accountability for sexual violence in conflict and bring a resolute end to impunity. Conflict-related sexual violence affects every aspect of a survivor’s life and leads to the stigmatization of victims and devastation of physical and economic security, especially of displaced and rural women. We therefore need a survivor-centred approach, which should include full, competent and speedy attention for the victims, with increased access to health care, psychosocial support, legal assistance and socioeconomic reintegration.”

10. “At the same time, we must take measures to ensure that sexual violence is not used as a tactic of war or aggravated by human trafficking, which can become a source of income for terrorist organizations and transnational organized crime networks. We also need to address new and emerging threats from the largely ungoverned digital space. This scourge requires concerted and well-coordinated cross-national interventions with a One United Nations approach. There is also a need for improved coordination among United Nations entities, regional and subregional organizations and civil society in prevention, assistance to victims, research, advocacy, information-sharing, capacity-building and exchange of good practices in combating sexual violence.”

11. “Kazakhstan thanks the United Kingdom presidency for convening today’s open debate. We commend Special Representative Patten for the insights drawn from the Secretary-General’s annual report on conflict-related sexual violence (S/2023/413), and we thank our civil- society briefers for their passionate plea to us and their horrifying analyses of that scourge in different parts of the world. Kazakhstan endorses the recommendations of the Secretary-General’s annual report. Despite the robust normative framework that has been established and the progress achieved, we need to collectively reflect on how to reduce conflict-related sexual violence.”

12. “The seventh Congress, held in September, saw the presence of His Holiness Pope Francis, Sheikh Ahmad Muhammad Al-Tayyeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Israel’s Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau and other eminent spiritual leaders, who gave messages focused on finding answers to our current challenges. In conclusion, my country pledges to strengthen regional and global multilateralism to keep pace with the changing geopolitical, social and economic realities, at present and in the future.”

13. “The Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia, initiated by Kazakhstan, is turning into a full-fledged international organization that contributes to global mediation and peacemaking with the support of its 28 member States. To support United Nations peacekeeping, we plan to develop the Kazakhstan Peacekeeping Training Centre and turn it into Central Asia’s regional training hub. We are now ready to deploy quick-reaction forces and unmanned aerial vehicle units next year, followed by field hospital, military police and explosive ordnance detection units in 2024. The Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, which has been held triennially in Astana since 2003 and is attended by the heads and representatives of major faiths, has been promoting interfaith harmony, globally as well as regionally.”

14. “The code of conduct in combating terrorism, the proposed establishment of an international agency for biological safety, advocacy for primary health care as the foundation for World Health Organization universal health coverage and the founding of the Kazakhstan Agency for International Development are further initiatives. Kazakhstan is committed to strong political and economic integration in Central Asia for greater regional and global stability. To promote the regional approach in ensuring multilateralism, my country has proposed setting up a United Nations regional centre in Almaty for the Sustainable Development Goals in Central Asia and Afghanistan.”

15. “Such accountability also calls for greater global cooperation in early-warning efforts, mediation, peaceful negotiations, rapid-response mechanisms, peace operations with clear mandates, qualified personnel, the use of new technologies and predictable funding under the umbrella of the United Nations. Efforts at the global level must be reinforced nationally. In Kazakhstan, multilateralism has been relevant and diverse on many fronts — nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation; the Astana process on Syria reinforcing the United Nations process in Geneva; humanitarian aid for and human capacity-building in Afghanistan and support for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action process.”

16. “A new orientation for multilateralism also implies holistic, multidimensional and intersectoral action across countries both by the United Nations and its Member States, together with regional organizations and all stakeholders, with their special expertise. Their efforts should underscore the centrality of the peace-security-development nexus, with the United Nations delivering as one, in order to ensure coherence and consistency in our operations and response. The engagement of the private sector and civil society, especially women, young people and other vulnerable groups, is imperative for greater impact.”

17. “In the light of the shifting political and global security landscape, we must endeavour to resolve the critical questions of membership categories and size, geographical representation, working methods, transparency and the relationship between the Security Council and the General Assembly. Demonstrating political will, finding common ground despite differences and achieving momentum are therefore essential if we are to move ahead. Multilateralism means that individual and collective responsibility for people and for the planet must take precedence over narrow national perspectives, in accordance with international treaties and obligations. All our current crises are increasingly transnational.”

18. “I commend the presidency of India for focusing on a new orientation for reformed multilateralism in order to address traditional and unprecedented multifaceted crises, which are further threat multipliers confronting us today. In his statement to the General Assembly at its seventy-fifth session, in 2020, President Tokayev of Kazakhstan stated that Member States have a moral obligation to reflect on the paradigm of building a new world, as we are at a make-or-break moment for humankind (see A/75/PV.6). We must therefore rally around a modern and reformed United Nations.”
