1. “We have always attached great importance to fruitful collaboration between the OPCW Technical Secretariat and States parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) in efforts to champion the full implementation of the Convention. We call on the OPCW Technical Secretariat and the Syrian authorities to further enhance dialogue and technical consultations, in a most constructive manner, in order to resolve all “the identified gaps, inconsistencies and discrepancies”. This is an important step to facilitate the continuation of full cooperation between the two sides with a view to fulfilling obligations under the CWC and resolution 2118 (2013). Secondly, Viet Nam reiterates its unequivocal condemnation of the use of chemical weapons anywhere, at any time, by anyone, under any circumstances.”

I also welcome the participation of the representatives of Syria, Turkey and Iran in our meeting today. First of all, our delegation takes note of the ninety-first monthly report (see S/2021/422) of the Director-General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). We note that there is continued engagement between the organization and Syria, especially between the Declaration Assessment Team and the Syrian National Authority in addressing the outstanding issues. It is important that the next round of consultations will take place as planned during the course of next month.”

3. “We call for meaningful international support for Bosnia and Herzegovina, in accordance with international law and the aspirations of the country and its people. Mediation and reconciliation efforts should focus on bridging the differences among parties and on bringing them together in joint endeavours for a future of peace and development. Before concluding, we would like to reiterate the importance of respect for the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the implementation of relevant treaties and Security Council resolutions. We call on all parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina to find a people-centred, lasting and peaceful solution.”

4. “In this regard, we urge all parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina to work together to overcome their differences, strengthen efforts and engage in constructive dialogue and confidence-building measures in a sustained manner. National reconciliation will be a driver of long-term stability and sustainable development towards a united and peaceful country for all its people. Focus should be given to, inter alia, socioeconomic development, enhancement of the rule of law and public administration reform. Throughout this process, national ownership is essential. Primary responsibility lies with Bosnia and Herzegovina, its communities and peoples. At the same time, support from the international community, including from related countries, is no less important.”

5. “While there have been positive developments over the past six months, including the holding of local elections in November and December 2020, we remain concerned about the political instability, divisive rhetoric and lack of much-needed cooperation among the entities and communities in the country. We are further worried that the coronavirus disease pandemic, having reached an all-time high recently, further complicates existing tensions. The situation continues to undermine the full implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement. It is also regrettable to learn that the 5+2 agenda has made little progress, and was even rolled back, during the reporting period. We strongly believe that the interests and well-being of the people must be placed at the centre of all efforts.”

I thank High Representative Valentin Inzko for his briefing and welcome the presence of representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia, as well as the Head of the Delegation of the European Union, at today’s meeting.

11. “We welcome the financial commitments made at the fifth Brussels Conference. The continued assistance by the international community to the Syrian people is essential. It is also important to have coordinated international efforts in order to achieve the desired result. Lastly, we would like to reiterate our position that a comprehensive political solution — led and owned by the Syrians themselves, facilitated by the United Nations, in line with resolution 2254 (2015) and in full adherence with international law and the Charter of the United Nations — is the only way forward.”

12. “As the coronavirus disease situation worsens, the delivery of vaccines to all areas in Syria is crucial. We welcome the recent shipment to Damascus and the north-west through the COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access (COVAX) Facility. We call for continued support for Syria in the fight against the pandemic. Our delegation also supports the appeal of the Secretary-General for the waiving of sanctions that hinder the humanitarian response to the pandemic. We reiterate our call for greater contributions to the COVAX Facility and broader and more equitable distribution of vaccines worldwide, including to populations in conflict and fragile settings. We commend the heroic efforts of the United Nations and humanitarian and health-care workers on the ground to address the humanitarian situation in Syria.”

13. “Secondly, on the humanitarian front, while the search for a comprehensive political solution is still ongoing, the humanitarian situation has shown no sign of improvement. Millions of Syrian people are still struggling to afford food, fuel and other basic goods amid the severe economic crisis and the pandemic. We therefore stress the importance of maintaining safe, unimpeded and sustained humanitarian access to enhance the humanitarian response in Syria, including by protecting related personnel, essential objects and services. All efforts and all appropriate channels need to be employed. The delivery of medical supplies, which are urgently needed in the north-east, should be strongly facilitated. We also call for greater coordination among parties in order to carry out the cross-line mission to the north-west.”

14. “The facilitation of relevant international interlocutors through renewed diplomatic efforts is also indispensable. The security situation has been relatively calm during the past year since the ceasefire in the north-west. However, it remains fragile, as sporadic security incidents still cause serious protection concerns, especially in the north-west, the north-east and the south. In order to further facilitate dialogue, we call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint and refrain from actions that could lead to further escalation. We remind parties of their obligations under international law, international humanitarian law and relevant Security Council resolutions, including resolution 2573 (2021), which was just adopted unanimously yesterday.”

First, on the political and security situation, we take note of the ongoing engagement between the Syrian parties and the Special Envoy to be well-prepared for the continuation of Constitutional Committee talks. It is important that parties engage constructively with a view to achieving substantial progress within the Constitutional Committee framework as well as advancing the broader political process. In this regard, our full support for the roles of regional and international actors, including the United Nations and the Special Envoy, remains strong.”

In the light of the current situation, the presence of UNISFA will continue to be essential in maintaining stability in Abyei. Enhancing UNISFA’s ability to fulfil its mandate in an effective, efficient, objective and impartial manner should remain one of our top priorities, including the need to ensure the safety and security of its personnel.”

Secondly, it is equally important to ensure security for the people in the Area.”

While it is encouraging that the Governments of the Sudan and South Sudan have resumed dialogue and engagement on this matter, practical progress has remained very limited. In this regard, we call on the Sudan and South Sudan to promptly resolve the issue through peaceful means, in accordance with international law and the Charter of the United Nations. Further concrete progress must be made with regard to the benchmarks of the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism.”

I welcome the participation of the distinguished representatives of the Sudan, South Sudan and Ethiopia in our meeting today. Over the past year, we have witnessed the active engagement of the Sudan and South Sudan in mutually facilitating the transition. The progress in the transitional period in both countries and their continued rapprochement has created a window of opportunity for the two sides to actively engage in addressing the Abyei issue, thereby contributing to long-term peace, stability and development in the Sudan and South Sudan.

Fourthly, we note with great concern the dire humanitarian and economic situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, with a surge of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infections in the past few weeks. We are particularly concerned about the situation in Gaza, where the daily death toll due to the pandemic has soared to a record high. As a result, the health-care system has been pushed to its limits and the socioeconomic conditions continue to deteriorate.”

Thirdly, we continue to be concerned about settlement activity by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories, especially construction plans in areas deep into the West Bank that would make it harder to establish a viable and contiguous Palestinian State. It is also worrying that Israeli demolition and confiscation of Palestinian structures and properties continue to grow.”

We also welcome cooperation between the Israeli Government and the Palestinian Authority in certain areas, and urge all parties to pursue confidence- building measures and refrain from unilateral actions that could undermine the prospects of negotiations. We express our concern about the recent increase in settler-related violence and call upon the Israeli authorities to take the necessary measures to address that issue.”

In the past few months, new dynamics relating to the Middle East peace process emerged from within and without the region, reigniting hope for a two-State solution and a just, long-lasting, comprehensive peace for the Israelis and the Palestinians. We would like to make several points on how to maintain that momentum. First, we reaffirm our strong support for all efforts and initiatives that can help advance the Middle East peace process.”
