“Given its repeated flagrant use of chemical weapons, we cannot exclude the possibility that the Al-Assad regime will use chemical weapons again. We should not let this go. Syria’s chemical weapons programme remains a threat to international peace and security. It matters to all of us. I resume my functions as President of the Council. I now give the floor to the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic.”

“The whereabouts of several hundred tons of chemical warfare agent remain unclear, and their destruction still cannot be verified. Until States parties and the Technical Secretariat are satisfied that Syria is making meaningful progress in addressing the 20 outstanding issues with its declaration, we all need to continue to put pressure on Syria to abide by all its obligations. That includes the requirement for Syria to cooperate fully with the Technical Secretariat in good faith. We should hold Syria accountable for its actions. All States should urge Syria to abide by its obligations under the Convention. Until outstanding issues are resolved, we cannot rule out Syria retaining some sort of chemical weapons programme.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Kingdom. I start by joining others in thanking Mr. Ebo for his briefing. Ten years after Syria’s accession to the Chemical Weapons Convention, resolution 2118 (2013) and 117 monthly reports by the Director-General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, it remains impossible to verify the complete destruction of Syria’s chemical weapons programme. That is not due to lack of effort on behalf of the Technical Secretariat, whose efforts and perseverance we commend — it is entirely the responsibility of the Syrian authorities. Syria has consistently denied retaining any chemical weapons stockpiles, despite clear evidence to the contrary.”

“The penholders and a majority of the Council worked in good faith to try and deliver that, including through an eleventh-hour compromise to try and find common ground. But Russia has yet again used its veto to restrict life-saving humanitarian access to 4 million Syrian people. There is no rational or moral argument to veto this draft resolution. Humanitarian access should respond to humanitarian need and should not be taken hostage by Russia. Since 2014, year after year, Russia has chipped away at this humanitarian lifeline. Today, it has continued its efforts to restrict access to people in need. As the United Kingdom, we will continue, as we has done every year, to put our humanitarian responsibility above politics. We call on Russia to do the same. We need to put the needs of the Syrian people first.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Kingdom. I want to start by joining others in thanking Brazil and Switzerland for their work as penholders. The Secretary-General was absolutely clear. He asked the Council to give humanitarians a 12-month mandate to deliver aid to 4.1 million people who desperately need it. The humanitarian partners who brief us regularly have set out the case for that again and again. And countries in the region that are directly impacted by the conflict in Syria have also called for a 12-month mandate. The partners I met on the ground last month at the Syrian border were clear. A 12-month mandate was a minimum lifeline, and all the more so after February’s earthquakes.”

“Finally, I would like to draw attention to the ongoing detention by the Houthis of 13 members of the Baha’i community. Although we are encouraged by the release of four individuals, the United Kingdom calls on the Houthis to uphold the freedom of religion or belief and release the remaining detainees, especially those in need of urgent medical care. It is essential that all Yemeni parties exercise these principles of inclusivity and fairness, as they look to move towards a more sustainable peace in Yemen. 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.”

“As we heard, the United Nations still needs $25 million to safely secure the oil and complete the job. Let us not forget that the funding gap includes a United Nations loan, which was crucial to getting us this far. Until the loan is repaid, the United Nations is compromised in its ability to respond to current and future crises. We have come so far. But we now need to ensure that the operation begins and that we find these remaining funds. Our concerns about the humanitarian situation and access persist. I also want to stress my concerns with regard to the Houthis’ anti-vaccination policy. This is a serious threat to public health, placing children at risk of illness and death. The United Kingdom urges the relevant authorities to unblock the situation and allow for urgent vaccination campaigns.”

I would like to start by thanking the Special Envoy, Assistant Secretary-General and the United Nations Resident Coordinator for their briefings. As we heard from the Assistant Secretary-General, we are closer than ever to resolving the threat posed by the FSO SAFER oil tanker, thanks to the efforts of the United Nations, public and private donors, and the constructive engagement of all parties. It is critical now that we support the United Nations to swiftly overcome obstacles and start the oil transfer. Until this is complete, the threat to the environment, global trade and the delivery of life-saving aid to Yemen remains.”

“Iran has also continued to supply increasingly complex weapons systems to the Houthis in Yemen, in violation of resolution 2231 (2015). That jeopardizes regional security and undermines regional stability and prosperity. The restrictions in resolution 2231 (2015) were intended to build confidence in Iran as a responsible international actor. transition day sunsets are due in October, and it is clear that the trajectory envisioned back in 2015 has not materialized. Iran will need to take substantial steps to reverse its escalatory approach if it is to start to rebuild that confidence. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Ukraine.”

“Its enrichment capabilities have expanded to over 2,500 powerful advanced centrifuges suitable for nuclear weapons purposes. Building that capacity has given Iran irreversible gains in technical knowledge, which the JCPOA sought to limit. Iran is also launching missiles that could be capable of delivering nuclear weapons and testing technologies directly applicable to intermediate- and intercontinental-range ballistic missiles. There is overwhelming evidence that Iran continues to provide material support to Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine, supplying unmanned aerial vehicles with a range of over 300 kilometres. It does so in the knowledge that Russia uses them to target civilians and civilian infrastructure.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Kingdom. I would like to start by thanking Under-Secretary- General DiCarlo, as well as the Secretariat for its role in supporting implementation of resolution 2231 (2015). I also thank Ambassador Skoog for his briefing and Ambassador Frazier for her briefing and work as Facilitator. After months of negotiations, viable texts were put forward last year that provided Iran with the chance to return all parties to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Iran refused that opportunity and has instead continued its nuclear escalation, thereby threatening international peace and security and demonstrating disregard for resolution 2231 (2015). Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile currently exceeds JCPOA limits by more than 21 times.”

“As Under-Secretary-General Di Carlo just stated, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as endorsed by the Council through resolution 2231 (2015), is the best available option for achieving the objectives of nuclear non-proliferation and regional security. Through multilateralism and dialogue, we can work together in ensuring the Plan’s most effective implementation and in ensuring the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear programme, while enhancing mutual trust and cooperation. I echo the other briefers here today in stating that it is essential that all parties to the agreement uphold it both in letter and spirit, avoid actions that undermine the implementation of commitments and work on resolving all outstanding issues so that the Plan can achieve its goals for the benefit of all.”

“The IAEA’s work provides confidence for the international community that the nuclear programme of the Islamic Republic of Iran is for exclusively peaceful purposes. The reports of the Director General play a significant role in that regard. Thirdly, I report that no new proposals were submitted to the Security Council through the procurement channel during the reporting period. The channel represents a key transparency and confidence-building mechanism under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). It remains operational, and the Procurement Working Group stands ready to review proposals. I echo the Secretary- General in encouraging all participants to the JCPOA, Member States and the private sector to fully support and utilize the channel.”

“Secondly, during the reporting period, a total of 17 notes were circulated within the 2231 format. In addition, a total of 11 official communications was sent to Member States and the Coordinator of the Procurement Working Group of the Joint Commission, and a total of 11 communications from Member States and the Coordinator were received. Among the communications circulated were the two regular quarterly reports issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in February and May 2023, as well as one update. The IAEA plays an important role in the verification and monitoring of nuclear activities in the Islamic Republic of Iran, as requested under resolution 2231 (2015).”

Members may refer to the report for details, but I would like to mention the following key aspects. First, one meeting of the Council in the 2231 format was held during the reporting period. The meeting was held on 30 June, and representatives of the Security Council discussed the findings and recommendations contained in the fifteenth report of the Secretary- General on the implementation of resolution 2231 (2015), prior to its public release. Under-Secretary- General DiCarlo already referred to some of those points in her statement.”

“They are the stories of real children and their families and communities. For the first time, a permanent member of the Security Council, the Russian Federation, is listed for over 1,200 grave violations against children, which is a listing based on robust United Nations data that represents the tip of the iceberg. There is only one solution to ending the suffering of Ukrainian children: an end to Russia’s illegal invasion. We will continue to support the Government of Ukraine’s efforts to protect its children and bring them home after Russia’s forced deportations. International frameworks to ensure children’s rights, such as the Safe Schools Declaration, the Security Council’s Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict and the Children and Armed Conflict Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism need our full support.”

I would like to thank Ms. Violeta, in particular, for her tremendous courage and valuable insights on the impact of conflict on children. The scale of grave violations outlined in the report of the Secretary-General (S/2023/363) is shocking. Over 8,000 children were killed and maimed in 2022. Attacks on schools and hospitals increased by 112 per cent. Violations in the Sahel increased by 85 per cent and in Myanmar by 140 per cent, and over 1,500 children were recruited and used in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
