1. “The JCPOA must be fully implemented in order to strengthen the international non-proliferation regime. We highly value and support the role that the International Atomic Energy Agency is playing in that regard. The goal is to make sure that nuclear energy is used exclusively for peaceful purposes in Iran. Japan will continue to provide assistance in the field of nuclear safety, among others, in order to contribute to ensuring the implementation of the JCPOA. Another expected result ofthis historic agreement is the integration of Iran into the international community and the global economy. On 16 January, we welcomed the advent of the implementation day of the JCPOA. In line with resolution 2231 (2015), States Members of the United Nations have removed measures that had been applied based on previous Security Council resolutions.”

2. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Japan. At the outset I would like to thank Under- Secretary-General Jeffrey Feltman; Ambassador Joao Vale de Almeida, representing the Joint Commission established by the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA); and Ambassador Roman Oyarzun Marchesi, facilitator of resolution 2231 (2015), for their detailed briefings on this important topic. The historic agreement on the JCPOA was achieved one year ago through earnest negotiations by members of the international community after years of sanctions. The successful conclusion of the negotiations on JCPOA demonstrates that the right combination of pressure and dialogue can move a country to accept a good agreement on an important and difficult issue.”

I also want to express my sincere condolences to the families ofthe victims and my deepest sympathies to the injured, as well as strong solidarity with the French people. (spoke in English) This and other recent attacks, including the terrorist attacks this month in Bangladesh, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, have affected countries and people from all over the world.”

13. “In conclusion, the EU will continue to work with its Israeli and Palestinian counterparts, along with the Quartet and other stakeholders, in the region and beyond, in order to make progress towards a just and lasting peace based on a two-State solution. The President: I now give the floor to the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic.”

14. “We encourage the Palestinian leadership to show its opposition to the incitement to violence and clearly distance itself from such actions. In the interest of addressing the needs of the Palestinian population, the EU urges all Palestinian factions to engage in good faith in the reconciliation process, on the basis of the Palestine Liberation Organization platform, democracy and the rule of law. The EU calls for all parties to take swift steps to produce a fundamental change in the political, security and economic situation in the Gaza Strip, including the end of the closure and a full opening of the crossing points, while addressing Israel's legitimate security concerns.”

15. “Militant activity and the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza feed the general instability and impede efforts to achieve a negotiated solution. We need bold leadership on the ground to reverse those trends. That requires an end to both settlement expansion and violence. The EU therefore regrets that Israel's response has been the approval of hundreds of additional settlement units in the occupied Palestinian territory. A fundamental change of policy by Israel with regard to the occupied Palestinian territory, particularly in Area C, would significantly increase economic opportunities, empower Palestinian institutions and enhance stability and security for both Israelis and Palestinians. Palestinian leaders should consistently and clearly condemn specific terrorist attacks.”

16. “We also recall that only the re-establishment of a political horizon and the resumption of dialogue can stop the violence. Security measures alone cannot stop the cycle of violence. The underlying causes of the conflict need to be addressed. Israel's ongoing settlement policy, which is illegal under international law, and the actions it has taken in that context, such as evictions and forced transfers of populations, demolitions and confiscations, including demolitions of EU projects, constitute an obstacle to peace and threatens to make a two-State solution impossible. Palestinian unity is essential for a Viable Palestinian State. President Abbas must be fully behind efforts to achieve reconciliation, which is fundamental for progress towards a permanent resolution and key to improving the security of the Palestinians and Israelis.”

17. “The European Union also encourages discussion in the context of the Arab Peace Initiative, which holds out hope for a permanent regional settlement. We are deeply concerned by the continuing cycle of violence. Violence costs human lives. It causes grief and resentment and exacerbates mistrust and mutual recrimination, thereby undermining prospects for a peaceful solution. While our thoughts are with the families of the victims, we urge the parties to work towards the de-escalation of tensions, to refrain from actions in the form of incitement and provocation that serve only to fuel further tension, and to observe international humanitarian law and adhere to the principles of necessity and proportionality in the use of force.”

18. “Such implementation would demonstrate a genuine commitment to a peaceful solution by rebuilding mutual trust and creating the conditions for direct and meaningful negotiations that resolve all final status issues. The EU stands ready to support the parties in that process. The EU welcomes also the joint communique on the Middle East peace initiative adopted at the ministerial meeting in Paris on 3 June. Inclusiveness is now needed in the follow-up to the Paris meeting and the Quartet report. Those major international initiatives must proceed hand-in-hand and in a well-coordinated and well-sequenced so that they constitute a coherent collective effort to rescue the two-State solution, while paving the way for direct talks.”

19. “That is why the European Union is united in its determination to work alongside international partners and the region to reinvigorate the Middle East peace process. That is the very reason that the Middle East Quartet, in its report published on 1 July, outlined the dangerous trends on the ground imperilling the two-State solution. The EU welcomes the publication of the Middle East Quartet's report. The EU endorses the recommendations outlined in the report as a contribution to creating the conditions for the two-State solution, and asks the Secretary- General to report on their implementation. The EU expresses concern at the trends on the ground and calls on the parties to swiftly engage with the Quartet and other relevant stakeholders and implement the recommendations in full.”

20. “For the EU, as outlined in previous Council conclusions, there is no alternative to a negotiated two-State solution that meets Israeli and Palestinian security needs and Palestinian aspirations for statehood and sovereignty, ends the occupation that began in 1967 and resolves all permanent status issues in order to end the conflict. It remains the only realistic way of ending the conflict once and for all. It offers the prospect of a secure State of Israel and an independent, democratic, contiguous, sovereign and viable State of Palestine, living side by side in peace and security and mutual recognition. However, we are currently concerned that the two- State solution could be slipping beyond reach.”

21. “However, every attack that results in loss oflife is a breeding ground for further sectarian tension, in a country and a region that require cohesion and unity in the face ofa complex crisis. The EU continues its firm support for Prime Minister Al Abadi's efforts to build an inclusive Government and for his programme of reforms. The EU commends Iraqi progress particularly regarding stabilization. Only a Government that can provide safety, services and opportunities for all its citizens will be able to build a strong, unified Iraq. The EU will continue to support the Iraqi Government in that endeavour. As far as the Middle East peace process is concerned, we may have reached a critical juncture. It is time for international initiatives to become a coherent collective effort to revive the two-State solution.”

22. “There cannot be lasting peace in Syria under the present leadership, and until the legitimate grievances and aspirations of all components of Syrian society are addressed. The EU is ready to increase its support even more to both the humanitarian work and the political negotiations, in full coordination with Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura. We are ready to rapidly provide support to stabilization, reconstruction and the return of refugees and internally displaced people to their homes in safe conditions once a political transition has started. The EU would like to pay tribute to the victims of the recent terrorist attacks in Iraq. The surge of terrorist activities that we have witnessed recently is a sign that Da'esh is losing ground on the military front.”

23. “The EU is stepping up its support to the Syrian opposition, and in particular the High Negotiations Committee, as the opposition delegation in the United Nations-brokered talks in Geneva. The EU encourages unity among opposition groups and welcomes the fact that the opposition has intensified its coordination and preparations for negotiating a peaceful solution to the Syrian conflict. The EU urges the Government delegation to finally lay out its plan for truly implementing a genuine political transition. Speeches such as that by Bashar Al-Assad of 7 June that reject the political process, reject the legitimacy of the opposition delegation and advocate a military solution seem calculated to undermine the Support Group process, and with it the best hope for peace in Syria.”

24. “The EU reiterates its strong support for transitional justice and accountability for all serious human rights abuses and Violations of international humanitarian law, including any that may constitute a war crime committed in Syria by any party, including Da'esh. The EU renews its call to the Security Council to refer the situation to the International Criminal Court. The EU welcomes the renewal of the mandate for the Commission of Inquiry and calls for the cooperation of all parties, in particular the Syrian regime to grant necessary access. Serious negotiations are required to reach an agreement by 1 August on a political transition. Only a real commitment on both sides of the political track can lead to an agreement.”

25. “The level of humanitarian aid, including medical equipment and supplies, needs to be significantly enhanced to meet the needs of all vulnerable people, including internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities throughout Syrian territory. Without real and significant improvements in the conditions necessary for serious negotiations, both the political process and the cessation of hostilities are at risk. The European Union condemns all violations of international humanitarian law and attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, in particular against medical facilities, schools, markets and IDP camps. The EU strongly condemns excessive and disproportionate attacks committed by the Syrian regime against its own people, including the starvation of civilians through the besiegement ofpopulated areas.”

26. “A Syrian-led and Syrian-owned political transition in accordance with the documents I mentioned is needed to bring lasting peace to the country, defeat Da'esh and all terrorist organizations in Syria and enable Syrians to return to their homes in safe conditions and contribute to the reconstruction of their country. Conditions need to be created urgently for serious direct talks to agree on a broad, inclusive, non-sectarian transitional governing body with full executive powers, as stated in the statement of the International Syria Support Group of 17 May. To that end, all parties to the conflict need to respect the cessation ofhostilities, make progress on the issue of arbitrarily detained persons and work to ensure immediate, secure, sustainable and country-wide humanitarian access to all people in need.”

30. “Thirdly, we focus on developing human capital which would contribute to preventing the marginalization of people caused by unemployment or lack of education. In concluding, I would like to stress that dialogue and trust-building are also critical for restoring order in the region. These include those between Israel and Palestine, and Iran and Saudi Arabia, as well as cross- sectarian dialogue at every level of society. There have been efforts made in this regard. Unfortunately, more efforts need to be made. The international community must continue to deploy its utmost efforts in order make such dialogue possible. Japan is ready and willing to work to that end.”

31. “Under the principle of "the best way is in the middle", which Prime Minister Abe announced, Japan is carrying out efforts to contributing to building a tolerant and stable society in the region. Our contribution reflects the guiding principles of inclusiveness and coexistence. We believe that such efforts should include three primary focal points. First, we must focus on assistance towards social stability and enhancing governance in the region. Secondly, we focus on humanitarian assistance, including supporting the return and reintegration of refugees and internally displaced persons and assistance for the social stability of the neighbouring host countries. In reality, this is sadly lacking.”

32. “In a situation where turmoil and uncertainty weighed heavily on people's minds, providing education for children was not necessarily a natural priority for parents. Mr. Abu Sultan, who managed to find a relatively stable foothold at the camp after he registered for the World Food Programme, supported by Japan, decided to give children education opportunities, starting with teaching them how to read and write. Education is a great equalizer. It helps children in conflict zones stand on common ground with those less affected by the conflict and helps alleviate the risk of marginalization. We must support people like Abu Sultan and potential partners like him to stand up and help others stand on their own.”

33. “In that regard, the efforts towards national reconciliation, administrative reform and fiscal consolidation, such as the efforts pursued in Iraq, would be an important achievement for creating a form of governance and society sustained by inclusiveness and coexistence. Marginalization and exclusion are what we must strive to eradicate in order to realize inclusiveness and coexistence. Two years ago, a Syrian man, Abu Sultan, and his family escaped from their country and managed to make their way to a refugee camp in Mafraq, Jordan, overcoming one hardship after another. For a man who had been a teacher for 25 years in Syria, it was disheartening to see how children at the camp were idling at the camp all day.”

34. “With regard to Syria, the Security Council bears a primary responsibility to facilitate a political transition to establish a credible, inclusive and non-sectarian Government as stated in resolution 2254 (2015). As for Iraq, we are witnessing the ongoing operation to counter the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, but much remains to be done to stabilize the freed areas and achieve national reconciliation. The utmost efforts must be made to strengthen governance in the Middle East in order to prevent a cycle of violence and the growth of violent extremism. The Security Council must underline this point and encourage efforts to achieving that objective. The key factors for a stable society in the Middle East, a region of remarkable diversity, are inclusiveness and coexistence.”

35. “Behind all that has been the weakening of - or, in some cases, the collapse of- governance in recent years. Most of the problems that the region now faces, including the conflicts and the spread of violent extremism, were initiated or exacerbated by the weakening of governance. Today many views have been and will be expressed as to what is to be blamed for the problems or what immediate actions need to be taken by certain parties. But I would like to focus my statement on what the international community should and can do today to deal with the failure of governance, which is key to solving the problem. The restoration of governance and strengthening of social cohesion in the Middle East, whether in Syria, Iraq, Yemen or Libya, is vital to tackling the spread of Violent extremism and improving the humanitarian situation.”

36. “I shall now make a statement in my national capacity as the representative of Japan. The Middle East is in turmoil, plagued by a whole series of challenges, such as terrorism, social unrest, political turmoil and prolonged conflicts that are causing the innumerable deaths of innocents and leading to millions of refugees and internally displaced persons throughout and beyond the region. The situation in the Middle East is undoubtedly a crucial issue that the international community must face up to, as the region's instability casts a shadow over the entire world, most notably by triggering and spreading violent extremism. The menace of terrorism is greater than ever and crises in Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen are causing intolerable humanitarian situations. The work of the Security Council has never been as important as it is today.”
