“It is our political and historical responsibility, as States members of the international community, to support all measures that can help in achieving the goal.”

“Finally, as is well known, Guatemala strongly values and supports all international instruments established to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, especially the Rome Statute. That is why we support the universalization of those instruments and reject any attempt to prevent other States from accessing them. In that regard, we do not see Palestine's accession to the Rome Statute as an obstacle to peace or to direct negotiations seeking a final agreement on all underlying issues. The promotion of an environment conducive to peace, accountability and respect for human rights cannot but help to relaunch the peace process between the parties. We recognize the enormous challenges facing the parties in their search for a political solution, both nationally and internationally, but that is the only road available.”

“We value the principle of shared responsibility and therefore believe that the active participation of both the Quartet and the Security Council in the peace process can serve to generate new momentum and thereby enable the parties to take further steps with greater responsibility towards a comprehensive, just and lasting peace. The parties must make genuine and renewed efforts including, inter alia, the total lifting of the blockade, an end to the construction of illegal settlements, refraining from provocative acts, a cessation of rocket-fire, and ensuring the legitimate security concerns of Israel and the existence of two States, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security.”

“Since the suspension of the latest peace talks in April 2014, we have witnessed the rapid deterioration of the situation between Israel and Palestine. Moreover, the essential two-State solution seems increasingly elusive. In that respect, we agree with the many voices saying that a political future is necessary to fulfil the legitimate needs of both peoples and lead to a final and fair agreement. However, achieving that goal will require the necessary measures. That is why the international community must play an active role in supporting and promoting the peace process.”

“Ms. Bolaflos Perez (Guatemala) (spoke in Spanish): First of all, let me commend the leadership and the work carried out by Chile during its presidency of the Security Council this month. I would also like to thank Assistant Secretary-General ad interim for Political Affairs Jens Anders Toyberg-Frandzen for his informative briefing. Guatemala remains steadfast in holding that diplomacy and dialogue are the best way to achieve a long-term solution in each of the conflicts affecting the Middle East. We continue to believe that a political solution to the differences that have divided the region for years, is the only solution that can provide stability and lasting security. That could not be truer than in the case of Palestine.”
