1. “We also need to develop the resilience of our people, fully cognizant of the fact that climate induced and human-made disasters will continue to create existential threats. That is why trust, participation, mutual respect and shared values and norms should be the cornerstones of the United Nations in order to deliver the nexus of humanity, peace and development. As the States Members of the United Nations and representatives of our people, it is critical that we leverage our existing multilateral and United Nations capabilities in preventing and resolving conflicts worldwide, now and in future.”

2. “Malawi is a peace-loving nation, and we are fully aware of the dangers that climate change poses to our people and neighbouring countries. As a State recently devastated by a horrible Cyclone, communal harmony and peace are at stake, with thousands of people displaced. Just like migrants, internally displaced populations create the need for transparent peace and development processes. The world is advancing in technology, which is jeopardizing peace and security. As a result, the world is increasingly facing threats of cyberinsecurity and the use of lethal nuclear weapons. Our position is that we need to harness the peaceful use of new technologies while simultaneously keeping our eye on the threats they pose. The United Nations should put in place accountability mechanisms for those threats.”

3. “That is why we believe that observance of international humanitarian law, international human rights law and other legal instruments that other multilateral actors and the United Nations develop, is a must at all times. In furtherance of these international instruments, we call for harmony, equality and inclusion. We should desist from creating circumstances that lead to other States acquiring a dominant role, with others being subjected to a subordinate-partner status. We should all note that the key to sustainable peace is the smooth and efficient functioning of the Security Council leveraging its high and influential voice in upholding an international rules-based order. The voices of all other regions should be part of the Council’s voice, hence the need for Security Council reform.”

4. “Malawi congratulates you, Mr. President, and your country, Switzerland, for this historic presidency, and we wish you a successful presidency. The Republic of Malawi is honoured to be part of this meeting as a sign of its commitment to international peace and security. As a Member State, we believe in an international rules-based order. This open debate could not have come at a better time, and it is comforting that this meeting will consider futureproofing peacekeeping initiatives. The fact that this open debate will also feed into the Secretary-General’s New Agenda for Peace serves as an opportunity for all of us to incubate ideas for more reliable, predictable and sustainable peace processes in an increasingly complex world. The Republic of Malawi agrees that there is a need for transparency and reliability in peace efforts.”
