  1. “We also welcome the emblematic adoption by consensus of resolution 2254 (2015) of 18 December 2015 in support of the peace process in Syria. That was the first time the Security Council has endorsed the Vienna negotiations and Geneva communiques. It is important that the Security Council pursue its implementation of the resolution, in favour of the ceasefire and the inclusion of the opposition, so that a formal dialogue can be established with a view to the transition process, as well as free and fair elections. We hope that the peace negotiations to begin in Geneva on 29 January will achieve the best results possible and, as Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura said, start on the right foot. We hope that the negotiations will truly mark the beginning ofa real peace process.”

  2. “Kyung-wha Kang, the gravity of the humanitarian situation in Syria is increasing and all members of the Security Council are responsible for meeting the basic needs of the victims of the Syrian conflict. "The Council cannot let more people die on its watch" (S/PV7605, p. 3). The use of barrel bombs and of civilians as a weapon of war in the conflict, as well as the continued trafficking in arms, including in clandestine tunnels, are unjustifiable. In fact, they are detrimental to the situation. We must ensure the full implementation of resolution 2235 (2015) of7 August 2015, through which, for the first time, accountability will be established for those who have used chemical weapons in Syria against the civilian population.”

  3. “We call for efforts, such as those made by the Secretary of State of the United States, John Kerry, which will reach their two-year mark this March, to be pursued, and we hope to obtain results that are as good as those achieved during the negotiating process with Iran. Costa Rica regrets that the conflict in Syria is entering its sixth year and that the situation continues to deteriorate. It is important to bring an end to the armed conflict and to seek a swift political solution, above all to the humanitarian crisis. As was stated before the Security Council on 15 January by the Assistant Secretary-General and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, Ms.”

  4. “2) My country reiterates that it is urgent to resume negotiations on the pending core issues of the conflict, based on the obligations already assumed and the agreements previously agreed between the parties, and supported by international law and the decisions of both the Security Council and the General Assembly. It is imperative that a political solution be found to this conflict and that a new architecture of peace to resolve differences be established. Furthermore, those responsible should be prosecuted, and efforts must be pooled in order to halt the spiral of violence and prevent further civilian suffering.”

  5. “For that reason, we will never tire of calling for the peaceful resolution of conflicts between peoples and States, characterized by respect for international law and human rights. I shall focus my remarks on three clashes in the area: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the situation in Syria and the situation in Yemen. The escalation of violence in the area remains a concern. Civilians, including women and children, continue to pay a high price, which we strongly condemn. As Miroslav Jenca, Assistant Secretary- General for Political Affairs, said when he addressed the Security Council on 16 December: "The current circumstances should not be accepted as the new normal. Israelis and Palestinians should not be resigned to living under the threat of violence." (S/PV. 7584, p.”

  6. “Mr. Castro Cordoba (Costa Rica) (spoke in Spanish): We welcome the presence of Minister Rodolfo Nin Novoa and we are very pleased to see him preside over the Council, in particular as his country is one of the representatives of our regional group. We congratulate him and the Uruguayan Mission on their work at the helm of the Security Council this month. We also thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his briefing. The issue before us today remains of particular importance to Costa Rica, in particular on the seventieth anniversary of the United Nations. We are convinced that the situation in the Middle East should remain among the priorities of the Organization.”
