“We commend the work of and reiterate our support for the African Union Mission in Somalia, the European Union Training Mission for Somalia, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia and the United Nations country team and Special Representative to continue their support for Somalia in maintaining peace and stability and ensuring further development.”

“We support the flood-response plan launched by the United Nations and the Federal Government of Somalia in December 2019, and we call on international partners to support the Federal Government in mitigating current and future risks and alleviating the suffering caused by weather-related crises. In that connection, we cannot emphasize enough the need to address the deep- rooted economic issues facing Somalia, especially in agricultural development. Only by doing so can we help the Government and the people of Somalia overcome long-term challenges and maintain sustained stability and security. Last but not least, we reiterate the importance of assistance from and coordination with regional and international partners in these important undertakings by the Somali Government.”

“We emphasize the need to step up efforts to counter the continued threats from terrorism and tackle the flow of illegal arms to terrorist groups. In addition, more effective security measures are needed to protect civilians, especially women and children. In this regard, we also welcome the recent engagement between the Government of Somalia and the Committee established pursuant to resolution 751 (1992), concerning Somalia, and the Panel of Experts on Somalia. Fourthly, the rapid shifts from severe drought to flooding have negative impacts on populations that are already vulnerable due to chronic poverty and conflict.”

“We therefore commend the recent meetings between President Farmajo and other political leaders and look forward to their continued efforts and specific follow- up actions. Secondly, we commend the progress made in the preparations for national elections in 2020, with the signing of the electoral bill on 21 February by the President of Somalia. It is significant that the bill allows all people and political parties, especially the political representation of women and minorities, to take part in the electoral process, including at least a 30 per cent minimum quota for women parliamentarians. Thirdly, we strongly condemn all forms of violent extremism and terrorist attacks by Al-Shabaab in Mogadishu and the region against civilians, Government officials and international forces.”

“Better synchronization between the Federal Government of Somalia and the federal member states is also needed in the interests of the implementation of the ambitious national priorities and, as Mr. Smith just noted, the country continues to be vulnerable to the adverse impact of climate change and various shortages. National food security and livelihoods are at risk amid the recent surge in desert locusts. In this regard, we wish to make the following observations. First, we support the efforts by the Government and other political leaders of Somalia for national unity and reconciliation. We join the call upon all parties concerned to make further efforts to engage in a constructive dialogue, for the sake of security, sustained stability and development in Somalia.”

“At the outset, I would like to thank this afternoon’s three briefers for their informative and important statements. In the period under consideration, there were positive developments in Somalia that have given rise to hope for greater security and stability. Viet Nam welcomes this and believes that with sustained efforts from the Government and regional and international partners, this progress will contribute to better promoting security and the livelihoods of the people. Cautious optimism is required, however, and more efforts are needed. Traditional and non-traditional threats to stability and development remain a significant concern, mainly due to the unrelenting terrorist attacks by Al-Shabaab.”

“In this connection, we call on the international community and countries in the region, to continue to support socioeconomic development in Haiti, especially viable projects boosting job creation, women’s and youth empowerment, education, capacity- building. We welcome and look forward to deeper cooperation between the United Nations and Haiti through a new partnership, as the Secretary-General stated recently.”

“We welcome the convergence of views on a number of important issues, as expressed by delegates during the recent political conference, and urge all parties concerned to make further efforts to overcome remaining differences. Secondly, the Government, Parliament and all political parties bear the primary responsibility to serve the people in the country. In this regard, we look forward to bold and necessary measures by the Haitian authorities to address poverty and socioeconomic instability, prevent violence, organized crime and corruption, and ensure security and the rule of law. Thirdly, we commend the work of the United Nations Integrated Office and United Nations country team in Haiti.”

“At the outset, I would like to thank the Secretary-General for his report (S/2020/123) on the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH). I also want to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ms. Helen La Lime, and Ms. Marie Yolène Gilles for their informative briefings. My delegation wishes to make the following points. First, we are concerned about the multifaceted difficulties and instability in Haiti, which have had an adverse impact on the livelihood and enjoyment of human rights of the Haitian people. In the context of the current political impasse, we call on political parties in Haiti to engage in national dialogue towards compromise and find a peaceful way out of the political impasse for the sake of the sustained stability and development of Haiti.”

“We hope that the momentum for stabilization and de-escalation will continue, with the aim of moving further towards a peaceful settlement to the situation, in accordance with international law, the Charter of the United Nations and the relevant Security Council resolutions. In that regard, we call for greater efforts to fully implement the Minsk agreements. We also look forward to the concrete implementation of a comprehensive ceasefire regime, the development and implementation of additional disengagement areas and an updated mine clearance plan, among other measures. We urge the parties to explore further trust-building steps by promoting dialogue and negotiations.”

“We would like to commend the great efforts of the Normandy Four leaders, as well as their commitment to a sustainable and inclusive architecture of trust and security in Europe. I look forward to forthcoming meetings. Meanwhile, the situation on the ground in the region is still of serious concern. Incidents, including armed hostilities, occur every day in that part of Europe. The conflict continues to cause death, injuries, displacement, shelter destruction and the lack of basic living conditions for millions of civilians — many of whom are elderly, women and children.”

“At the outset, I would like to thank Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo, Her Excellency Ms. Heidi Grau and His Excellency Mr. Halit Çevik for their insightful briefings on the implementation of resolution 2202 (2015), the Minsk agreements and the humanitarian situation in eastern Ukraine. I would also like to welcome His Excellency the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to today’s meeting. Over the past few months, we have seen encouraging signs of progress on issues related to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. A number of detained persons associated with the conflict were released in prisoner exchanges. After a long standstill, the Normandy format meeting held on 9 December 2019 enabled the successful resumption of communication processes at the highest level.”

“We firmly believe that the only viable solution is to establish a Palestinian State on the basis of the pre-1967 borders, living side by side with the Israeli State in peace, security and mutual recognition.”

“We call on Israel to immediately cease all its settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory and fulfil its obligations pursuant to resolution 2334 (2016). Thirdly, we call on Israel to lift its restrictions on the movement of people in the occupied Palestinian territory and urge all parties concerned to take more action to improve the living conditions of the Palestinian people in Gaza. We reiterate our full support for the mandate of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. In conclusion, Viet Nam reaffirms its unwavering support for the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people for their inalienable rights, including their rights to self-determination and establishment of an independent and sovereign State.”

“We condemn all attacks on Palestinian and Israeli civilians, including firing on Palestinian demonstrators and rocket launches into Israel. We therefore urge all concerned parties to strictly comply with international law, refrain from all acts of provocation or violence and end attacks on Palestinian and Israeli civilians. We also commend and encourage all Palestinian efforts, as well as initiatives of the United Nations and its Member States, aimed at fostering unity among the Palestinian people in their national quest for an independent and prosperous State. Secondly, illegal occupation is the root cause of the conflict and illegal settlement constitutes the biggest obstacle to the peace process. Negotiations are impossible in the context of ongoing construction of illegal settlements.”

“We also note with great concern that the Israeli authorities continue to demolish or force people to demolish Palestinian structures in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. It is very worrisome that the movement of people and commodities in the occupied Palestinian territory is still restricted when the economic and humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening. There is an urgent need to act and make many more efforts to avoid further deterioration of the situation on the ground. In such an alarming and critical situation, I would like to stress the following three points. First, tension on the ground must be de-escalated; that is the first step towards creating an environment conducive to dialogue and negotiation.”

“However, hope for achieving a just and viable peace process through meaningful dialogue and negotiation is waning during a period in which provocations, violence, the demolition and seizure of Palestinian structures, the injury and killing of children and innocent civilians and the implementation of unilateral actions occur every single day. According to the Protection of Civilians Report for 1 to 14 October 2019 of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, during the first half of October one Palestinian was shot dead and 261 Palestinians, including 127 children, were injured by Israeli forces in protests in Gaza; while another 37 Palestinians, including 2 children, were injured in protests in the West Bank.”

“My delegation wishes to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this important quarterly open debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. I also thank Mr. Nickolay Mladenov, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, for his informative briefing and continuous efforts. Peace cannot be sustained in the Middle East unless the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is resolved. For over half a century, the international community, and the Security Council in particular, have been making tireless efforts to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

“To conclude, let me reiterate our commitment to working closely with the United Nations counter- terrorism bodies and international and regional partners to address the combined threat of terrorism and organized crime to international peace and security.”

“We have spared no effort in bringing our laws and policies into conformity with the relevant obligations under Council resolutions and the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its applicable Protocols. We have been working closely with international agencies, such as INTERPOL and UNODC, in countering terrorist financing and money-laundering. In the framework of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), we have taken commendable measures to implement the ASEAN Convention Against Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, adopted in 2015, and the ASEAN Comprehensive Plan of Action on Counter- Terrorism of 2017.”

“Thirdly, at the United Nations level, we call on the Security Council, the General Assembly and relevant United Nations agencies to further strengthen inter-agency cooperation in leading international efforts. The assistance provided by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Counter- Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate and the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism in capacity-building and training is an important resource for Member States to draw on. Viet Nam condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, regardless of their motivation, whenever and by whomsoever committed.”

“We would like to emphasize that one of the most effective means of fighting this combined threat should involve addressing the conditions conducive to terrorism and criminal activities. We should strive to address poverty, social inequality and discrimination and accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. At the same time, we cannot overemphasize the need for exchange of information and intelligence and the sharing of experiences and best practices among law and border enforcement agencies. Any effort to combat international terrorism and transnational organized crime must be in accordance with the principles of international law, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, including the principles of sovereign equality, territorial integrity and non-interference in domestic affairs.”

“In that respect, it is essential that Member States' obligations under Council resolutions and relevant conventions be implemented in a comprehensive and innovative manner. In some cases, the resources allocated to fighting organized crime remain modest in comparison with those allocated to fighting terrorism. Given this combined threat, it is high time that efforts were stepped up to raise awareness and apply technologies in collecting and comparing data on the two phenomena with the aim of monitoring and severing their interactions. Secondly, we stress the importance of Member States strengthening their capacity to secure their borders against and investigate and prosecute terrorists and transnational organized criminals working with them.”

“That worrying trend cannot be overlooked and the international community should develop a sustained and comprehensive approach to preventing and fighting the scourge of terrorism and organized crime. In this regard, we welcome the initiative of Peru to convene this open debate and wish to stress the following points. First, the nexus between international terrorism and organized crime has been acknowledged with concern by the Security Council in several resolutions, most notably resolution 2195 (2014). The United Nations Convention on Transnational Organized Crime and its Protocols, as well as other relevant international agreements, have also set the standard for international cooperation to combat organized crime.”

“Terrorism continues to be one of the greatest challenges to international peace and security, human life and dignity. As evidenced by practical and academic studies, there exists a context-specific connection between terrorism and organized crime. At the level of pragmatic collaboration, terrorists raise funds through illicit drug trafficking, the illicit trade in natural and environmental resources and money-laundering, and obtain logistical support from trafficking in firearms, whereas organized crime weakens State capacity and governance and contributes to increasing the space within which terrorists operate. At a higher level of convergence, both groups are increasingly recruiting from the same groups of people and have even begun to merge in terms of personnel, resources and logistical and operational activities.”
