  1. “As history shows, States and institutions can thrive when they maintain clear, just objectives and an open mind about the best means to achieve them, which include robust mechanisms for enforcement and accountability to bridge the gap between international law and the reality on the ground.”

  2. “In that regard, I would like to highlight President Nazarbayev's initiative in convening the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-building Measures in Asia, which has been successfully functioning for more than a quarter of a century, and in the context of which 26 countries, from Egypt to the Republic of Korea, are conducting significant work in the field of preventive diplomacy. Finally, we support the efforts of the United Nations as a whole, including the Security Council, to update and adapt its procedures to serve the world well in these challenging times. Today's very valuable debate should be the start of an ongoing dialogue, and Kazakhstan stands ready to provide its own proposals in a constructive spirit.”

  3. “Secondly, Article 33 of the Charter of the United Nations provides the Security Council with a variety of tools for the peaceful settlement ofdisputes that threaten the maintenance of international peace and security. Those mechanisms include recourse to regional bodies, whose role is critical for early conflict prevention. The engagement of regional and subregional organizations is an essential tool in the maintenance of international peace and security. When considering this topic, we may wish to reflect on whether the Security Council could enhance its legitimacy and awareness of its work if from time to time it held its meetings in other regional centres.”

  4. “The Twenty-first Century", presented the idea of a comprehensive programme for humankind in order to achieve a world without conflicts by the centenary of the founding of the United Nations in 2045. To achieve such a world and to save subsequent generations from the scourge of war, the manifesto sets out the collective measures that should be taken to prevent and eliminate threats to peace, and the responsibility each State bears in striving to reach that end. This is an area in which the Security Council can and must lead the way. It will be a test of whether new processes and ways of working, which the Security Council develops as a result of discussions such as the one we are having today, can bring about real change in the world.”

  5. “As President Nursultan Nazarbayev made clear in his policy address following Kazakhstan's election to the Council, our country stands ready to assist in the maintenance of regional and international peace and security. Today we are reflecting on how best that can be achieved. I would first like to turn to what Kazakhstan considers a central policy objective for the Security Council. Members will recall that, 25 years ago, Kazakhstan was the first country to give up its nuclear arsenal. In our view, there is no greater threat to international peace and security than the continued existence of nuclear weapons, and there could be no greater achievement than ridding the world of that threat to humankind. President Nazarbayev, in his manifesto "The World.”

  6. “On behalf of the Republic of Kazakhstan, I thank His Excellency President Duda for his opening remarks. Kazakhstan considers today's debate to be very timely and valuable. It provides an opportunity for the Security Council to step back from its daily work and reflect more broadly on how it may most effectively carry out its mission in the complex circumstances that the world faces today. Engaging in such reflection is the sign of a healthy institution with strong and far-sighted leadership. In that context, it is my honour to present some reflections on behalf of Kazakhstan. My country's commitment to the United Nations, as is well known, began as soon as it became an independent State, in 1992. Twenty-five years later, Kazakhstan was deeply honoured to be the first Central Asian State to serve on the Security Council.”
