6. “For the implementation of the relevant recommendations made in the report, the Human Rights Council adopted a resolution to strengthen the capacity of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, including its field-based structure in Seoul. Japan intends to continue to actively cooperate with the activities of the Office in that regard. Today I strongly urge North Korea to heed the messages from the Security Council, the General Assembly and the report of the commission of inquiry. It must start taking concrete steps towards resolving all outstanding issues of serious human rights violations, stop its acts of provocation and cease its nuclear and missile development programmes, which pose a threat to international peace and security.”

7. “Even now, at this very moment, many abductees are being deprived of freedom and waiting to be rescued. As the abductees and their families grow older, that issue can afford no further delay. Some family members have passed away, without ever seeing their loved ones again. There is no time to waste in resolving the issue. I sincerely hope that the international community will work closely together to realize the immediate return of all abductees. In March, the Group of Independent Experts on Accountability for Human Rights Violations in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea submitted a report to the Human Rights Council that emphasizes the importance of ensuring accountability for North Korea's grave human rights violations, including the country's abduction of foreign nationals.”

8. “As the report of the commission of inquiry on human rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea states, "the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has engaged in the systematic abduction, denial of repatriation and subsequent enforced disappearance ofpersons from other countries on a large scale and as a matter of State policy."(A/HRC/25/63, para. 64) Abduction is a grave issue concerning the sovereignty of countries involved and the lives and safety of their citizens, and it undoubtedly poses a threat to international peace and security. In the past, North Korean agents infiltrated Japan and abducted a number of Japanese citizens, including a girl as young as 13-years-old. Abductees' futures have been stolen, and their families torn apart.”

9. “I also wish to highlight the issue of North Korean workers abroad. In its resolution 2371 (2017), the Council expressed concern regarding situations in which North Korean nationals often work abroad for the purpose of generating foreign currency that North Korea subsequently uses to support its prohibited nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. Japan, together with the European Union, pointed out in the General Assembly resolution 71/202 that workers sent abroad are exploited by North Korea. That is another stark example of the close link between the human rights situation and the pursuit of nuclear and missile development by North Korea. Let me now touch upon the issue of the abduction of foreign nationals, including Japanese nationals.”

10. “Not only is the quantity outrageous, but the qualitative advancements are also deeply alarming. Just two weeks ago, for the third time, a ballistic missile with an intercontinental range was launched. North Korea claims that that missile can strike anywhere within the United States mainland. It is essential for the international community to maximize pressure on North Korea, including through the full implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions, and make North Korea change its policies. North Korea has consistently ignored the obligations under the relevant Security Council resolutions, and challenged regional stability, as well as international peace and security, while violating the human rights of its people. The Security Council must continue to address this agenda item within its mandate.”

11. “The Security Council also condemns the Democratic People's Republic of Korea for pursuing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles instead of the welfare of its people, while the people in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea have great unmet needs. According to recent United Nations findings, significantly more than half of the people in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea suffer from major food insecurity and lack of medical care, including a very large number of pregnant and lactating women, and children under five years of age, who are at risk of malnutrition, and nearly a quarter of its total population is suffering from chronic malnutrition. However, instead of addressing those urgent issues, North Korea has conducted three nuclear tests and launched 40 ballistic missiles since January 2016.”

12. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Japan. I would like to begin by expressing my appreciation to Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs Miroslav Jenea and to High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein for their briefings. For the past three years, the Security Council has taken up the issue of systematic, widespread and gross human rights violations in North Korea. However, we have not yet seen tangible improvements. In resolutions 2371 (2017)and 2375 (2017), which were unanimously adopted this year, the Security Council reiterates its deep concern about the grave hardship to which the people in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea are subjected.”

17. “The consequences and impact of the activities of the terrorist organizations present there, including those that benefit from transnational organized crime in Mali and the Sahel, cannot be solved by security-focused intervention alone. We strongly believe that it is becoming ever- more crucial to ensure that the response to the violent extremism in the Sahel is a comprehensive one. The growing insecurity in central Mali and its border areas requires more than simply containing the violence. We must build a resilient society and institutions that ensure human security. Japan will continue to work closely with the G-5 Sahel States, the United Nations and our international partners in order to make progress towards achieving security and stability in Mali and the Sahel. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

We would like to call on our international partners to mobilize efforts that support the G-5 Sahel States in implementing the new resolution. I would like to conclude by saying that Japan underlines the importance of addressing the drivers of violent extremism in the Sahel.”

I pay tribute to France's efforts in bringing our partners together to work for the restoration of peace and stability in Mali and the Sahel region. Japan supported the resolution because we recognize that Mali needs support ifit is to speedily deliver on the remaining key provisions ofthe Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in Mali. It is a critical time for the country, and resolution 2391 (2017) recognizes that.”

We understand that at least 14 Tanzanian peacekeepers were killed and that more than 50 others were injured.

24. “Japan has consistently reiterated its support for that position in the context of the issue of settlements and violence. We are deeply concerned about the increasing tension on the ground. Cases ofviolence at such times can easily snowball into larger crises. Japan has consistently stated that violence will not bring peace any closer. We call on the parties to maintain calm and act in the interests ofpeace rather than violence. Against that backdrop, efforts to create an environment conducive to peace are all the more important. We have seen various parties put forward initiatives and proposals for bringing both sides closer to meaningful negotiations. Their implementation is key, and Japan calls on both Israelis and Palestinians to sincerely engage in those initiatives and take advantage of opportunities leading to peace.”

25. “Japan appreciates that strong commitment and support. Japan also notes the importance of the President's clear acknowledgement that the final status of Jerusalem, including the sovereign boundaries within the city, must be subject to negotiation between the parties. The United States should continue to play an important role in advancing peace. However, Japan is concerned about the fact that the United States' announcement could worsen the environment surrounding the Middle East peace process or lead to a deterioration of the situation in the Middle East more generally. Japan took note of the Secretary-General's statement two days ago about the Middle East peace process and of Mr. Mladenov's briefing today, which calls for avoiding any unilateral measures that might jeopardize the prospect ofpeace.”

I thank Mr. Mladenov for his update, and Japan shares his assessment of the alarming situation surrounding the peace process. Japan's position remains unchanged. Japan supports a two-State solution, based on the relevant Security Council resolutions, the Madrid principles, the Quartet road map, the agreements previously reached by the parties and the Arab Peace Initiative. The final status of Jerusalem is part ofa range ofissues that should be resolved through negotiations based on those parameters. President Trump reaffirmed his strong commitment to facilitating a lasting peace agreement and his support for a two-State solution in his announcement two days ago.”

During the course of that process, I updated members of the Council on the work, and also exchanged Views with interested non-Council members. Thanks to the contributions of members of the Council, as well as those of the wider United Nations membership, I believe that the revised version of presidential note 507 (S/2017/507) represents a comprehensive and balanced text. It is indeed a truly collective achievement. We must stress that improving the working methods of the Council does not end with the adoption of the revised version of note 507. It is an open-ended, ongoing process of collective endeavours, and what is most important is the implementation and actual practice of the Security Council.”

We are now in the process of conducting the handover to the incoming Chairs, also in accordance with the note.

In so doing, we desired to make an impact both through codification and actual practice. We first tackled the issue of improving transitional arrangements fornewly elected members. Afterintensive discussion, the note by the President S/2016/6l9 was adopted in July last year. The note outlined measures to facilitate the preparedness of newly elected members by inviting them to observe the work of the Council for an expanded period of three months.”

The Chair has made efforts to ensure the independence of the Panel and to support its activities. Unfortunately, I have not been able to travel to Yemen during my tenure. I believe that it will be useful for the next Chair and the Committee members to undertake a visit to the region so as to acquire first-hand information from the ground. Allow me now to say a few words in my capacity as Chair of the Informal Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Questions.

I would like to share some of my thoughts and observations on the activities I have conducted during these two years as Chair of subsidiary bodies of the Security Council. First, the 2140 Committee met four times in informal consultations this year. The Yemen sanctions regime can assist in arriving at a political solution to the conflict. While Yemen's political situation is extremely fragile, I believe that it is all the more important for Council members to discuss how the Committee can contribute to the political process.”
