  1. “The capacity of the Council to uphold international law rather than geopolitical interests, is crucial to the smaller States that make up the majority of the United Nations. In this regard, we believe that the presumed need to reform the Security Council will increase with each unresolved matter. I therefore want to express our hope that today's debate will contribute to advancing conflict resolution in Europe, despite the challenges ahead of us, as well as the advancement of the United Nations.”

  2. “In that regard, and bearing in mind that all the international actors in the 5+2 format are represented here in this Chamber, I would like to thank the mediators, Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the observers of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the European Union and the United States for their tireless efforts to contribute to advancing towards identifying a political solution to the conflict in the framework described by all the speakers who have referred to the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict through a political solution based on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova, with a special status for Trannistria. In that regard, I should also like to emphasize that the withdrawal of foreign troops from the Republic of Moldova could be an additional element to advance the settlement process.”

  3. “In this regard, confidence-building measures, including the economic and financial incentives associated with and meant to underpin them, will not be sufficient in relation to some protracted conflicts unless the geopolitical triggers that started them in the first place are defused. Despite the quasi-unanimous perception that the Transnistrian conflict, compared to other conflicts in our geographical area, would be the easiest to resolve, after almost 25 years of political we have not yet succeeded in getting closer to a solution.”

  4. “We expect the Security Council's members, particularly the permanent members, not only to react but also to act promptly and impartially whenever peace and security are threatened and when - I again underline - the principles of international law, in particular the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Member States, are disregarded . I would like to take this opportunity to emphasize the need to arrive at a common understanding in regard to the secessionist entities outside national and international law. It should be stressed that some of those secessionist entities are not just so-called parties to a conflict, but also the byproducts of broader geopolitical games - a fact that explains why they are unwilling to arrive at a negotiated solution.”

  5. “These conflicts, some of them unresolved for more than 25 years i such as that in my country - continue to impact negatively the political, social and economic development of the States concerned. I am speaking on behalf of a country directly affected by a protracted, unresolved frozen conflict. Moreover, the territorial integrity of some United Nations Member States - in Europe, these are Azerbaijan. Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine - has been compromised and their sovereignty repeatedly violated. What is clearly needed for European and global peace and security at this critical juncture is a strong reaffirmation by the General Assembly and actual implementation by the Security Council of imperative United Nations norms and principles of international law.”

  6. “From the very outset, I wish to join previous delegations in expressing our condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Ambassador Churkin, who passed away suddenly yesterday. As for the thematic debate today, I would like to thank the Ukrainian presidency for its initiative to convene this ministerial open debate dedicated to conflicts in Europe. This initiative is not only timely but highly necessary, given the fragility of the overall security situation in our region. We fully share your assessment, Mr. President, that the unresolved conflicts that erupted at the end of the twentieth century and the conflicts that emerged in Europe in the twenty-first have reached a tipping point and constitute a serious challenge to European security and a threat to international peace.”
