“We did so, furthermore, in the firm belief that both peoples deserve to live in peace, with security and dignity, which can only be achieved through a peaceful, negotiated, definitive and just solution for the parties, with the existence of two States, Palestine and Israel, on the basis of the 1967 borders and relevant resolutions. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the Permanent Observer of the Observer State of Palestine.”

“We feel that we must act urgently to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe, which, as the Secretary-General is warning, could have irreversible consequences for peace and security in the entire region. That is why we voted in favour of the draft resolution that we have just considered (S/2023/970), which called for a humanitarian ceasefire to alleviate the situation for the civilian population and for an immediate and unconditional release of all of the hostages. What other decision could we take, as the country presiding over the body in charge of maintaining international peace and security?”

“I shall now make a statement in explanation of vote in my capacity as the representative of Ecuador. As the President of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa Azín, said yesterday during his visit to the United Nations, our country will always be in favour of peace, a ceasefire and putting an end to violence, not only in Gaza but in any other area or territory of the world. It is no coincidence that he is our President and that he presided over the Security Council yesterday (see S/PV.9497). We reiterate our full condemnation of the terrorist acts against friendly countries such as Israel, and we believe that every civilian who has died in Israel or Palestine since 7 October represents a tragedy that makes it more necessary to move towards peace.”

“Equally, UNITAD’s cooperation with the communities affected by Da’esh’s crimes and with non-governmental and international organizations continues to be the cornerstone of investigatory and evidence-gathering efforts. Thirdly, we welcome the news that UNITAD has informed the Iraqi authorities of evidence that has been shared with third States and the agreement that was reached in October 2023 on the modalities that must be followed in such procedures. As the report points out, that is the first step in implementing resolution 2697 (2023), which should be complemented by the presentation of a report by the Secretary-General containing recommendations for the handing over of evidence to the Government of Iraq and the road map that should be drawn up in consultation with the Government of Iraq to complete UNITAD’s mandate.”

“The information contained in those reports is fundamental to sustaining the judicial and police efforts in Iraq in order to bring to justice those who have perpetrated crimes against various communities in Iraq, which could constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, and those who provided assistance and financing for such crimes. Secondly, we support the cooperation between UNITAD and the Government of Iraq in the preparation of joint reports on presumed perpetrators residing in third States and the fact that the first of those cases has been concluded. We also support UNITAD’s contribution to developing institutional capacity in Iraq, including the development of a legislative framework on international crimes, support for the victims and witnesses and the establishment of a centralized digital archive.”

“First, we would like to note that, while UNITAD has begun a process of adjusting its priorities, it continues to accomplish the tasks entrusted to it by resolution 2379 (2017). In that regard, we would highlight the preparation of reports on Da’esh’s development and use of chemical weapons and on sexual violence against women and girls, which have already been submitted to the Iraqi authorities. It is also our understanding that a report on the destruction of Iraq’s cultural heritage is being prepared.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Ecuador. I would like to thank the Special Adviser and his Team for presenting the eleventh report of the United Nations Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Da’esh/Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (UNITAD). I would also like to welcome the representative of Iraq to this meeting. The adoption of resolution 2697 (2023) last September, through which the Council, taking note of the Government of Iraq’s request, unanimously decided to extend the mandate of the Special Adviser and the Team only until September 2024, represents a new stage in UNITAD’s work. In that context, my statement will focus on three areas of the report.”
