“While Indonesia prefers to conduct all Council meetings appropriately and as necessary, my delegation wishes to highlight the fact that the most important approach for the Council is to be united in addressing humanitarian issues in Syria. Indonesia is following very closely the situation in north-western Syria, where the ongoing violence and hostilities continue to take a heavy toll on civilians and key infrastructure. Hundreds of people have been killed and injured, while almost 240,000 have been displaced in north-western Syria. The increasing number is alarming, and I think everybody in the Chamber is fully aware of that.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Indonesia. First of all, I wish to welcome the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Mr. Sergey Vershinin, to the Chamber. I also thank Assistant Secretary-General Ursula Mueller for her briefing - indeed, another grim and worrying briefing on the humanitarian situation in Syria. With today's meeting, I would like to highlight the fact that the Council has held three meetings related to the humanitarian situation in Syria, of which two specifically discussed the humanitarian impact in the north-west. With tomorrow's briefing by Special Envoy Pedersen, we will have had five meetings on Syria this month. That is quite a large number.”

“I should like to close by commending the Federal Government for assuming ownership and demonstrating perseverance in executing its comprehensive reform agenda, some of which is beginning to bear fruit. We urge continued and sustained political dialogue between the Federal Government and the federal member states to resolve their outstanding differences. Lastly, my delegation pays tribute to the contributions of UNSOM, AMISOM, the United Nations Support Office in Somalia, and all other actors working to bring peace and stability in Somalia. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I now give the floor to the representative of Somalia.”

“They are human beings. With 2.6 million internally displaced persons, Somalia has one of the largest displaced populations in the world. We are concerned about the fact that the 2019 Humanitarian Response Plan for Somalia is critically underfunded. The international community clearly has no magic wand to resolve the Somali situation, but it could - and obviously should - do more to alleviate the suffering of the Somali people. Understanding the challenging operating environment for humanitarian actors in Somalia, my delegation urges all parties to respect international humanitarian law and remove all impediments to the delivery of humanitarian relief.”

“draft resolution, my delegation wants to emphasize that AMISOM. must be reconfigured in a way that does not create a security vacuum and takes the potential humanitarian impact and the safety of the civilian population fully into account. The Somali security forces taking over AMISOM's security responsibilities must be adequately trained and equipped. It will be vital to accelerate the necessary capacity-building. Thirdly, we must be aware that the efforts to promote peace and stability are taking place against the tide of a deteriorating humanitarian situation and yet another severe drought, as Ms. Mueller mentioned. A third of the population requires humanitarian assistance, some 5.4 million people are expected to experience food insecurity and 1.2 million children are projected to be malnourished in 2019. These are not simply numbers.”

“Secondly, we are seriously concerned about the ongoing threat and destabilizing activities of A1- Shabaab, which extend beyond the Somali border. Its attacks in Mogadishu have increased significantly over the past two months, with incidents involving improvised explosive devices taking place almost every day. Its reported ability to manufacture home-made explosives demonstrates that even if they are not actively fighting they continue to come up with other ways to commit atrocities. It is high time that we effectively cut off Al-Shabaab from its sources of weapons and financing. Against that backdrop, the continued presence of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), as well as its need for predictable and sustainable funding, cannot be overstated. Since the Council is about to deliberate on the AMISOM.”

“The relationship between the two should always be based on the fundamental principles of sovereignty, national ownership and mutual respect. My delegation supports the essential role of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) in promoting the Somali Government-led inclusive political settlement, the development of a functioning Federal State and the implementation of the transition plan. Strengthening UNSOM's mandate to support the 2020-2021 elections is a step in the right direction. Those roles are especially pertinent as the political impasse between the Federal Government and the federal member states continues to threaten the possibility of progress in key political and security sectors.”

“I would now like to make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Indonesia. I would first like to join others in expressing our appreciation to Mr. Zenenga, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Madeira, Special Representative of the African Union Commission Chairperson for Somalia, and Assistant Secretary-General Mueller for their comprehensive briefings. I would like to bring three points to the Council's attention.

We welcome the commitment of the Somali Government and the United Nations to strengthening their cooperation and deepening their partnership.”

“We commend the tireless work of the Iraqi security forces for their continued search for the remnants of ISIL, which threaten the security of the entire population and hinder the ongoing process. We believe that there is a need for a comprehensive approach to addressing the security challenges and ensuring durable peace. In that regard, enhanced international and regional cooperation is critical. Lastly, the issue of humanitarian assistance should also be our priority. Issues of the return of internally displaced persons, socioeconomic development and the achievement of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals are important. At this stage, Iraq needs all the support and help of its brothers and sisters in the United Nations. Rest assured of Indonesia's commitment in support of Iraq's stability, development and lasting peace.”

“Like others, we welcome the Government's announcement of its development of a comprehensive national anti-corruption strategy as well as Parliament's priority to fight against corruption, as also mentioned in the report of the Secretary-General (S/2019/365). Thirdly, on the issue of security challenges, we took note of Ms. Hennis-Plasschaert's briefing with regard to the issue of returning fighters of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and their families, which must be managed in the right way, in particular with respect to women and children. The issue of rehabilitation and reintegration is certainly not an easy task. Nevertheless, efforts should be undertaken so as not to create a resurgence of radicalism and a new breed of terrorism.”

“The swift and effective completion of the formation of the Iraq Government is an essential prerequisite for the new Government to gain the trust and support of the people. The stability of Iraq is important not only for its people but also for the region as a whole. We need to continue to support Iraq's reconciliation and development efforts. We support efforts to strengthen Iraq's State institutions and the acceleration of the Government programme for 2018 to 2020 to improve the basic services and promote reconstruction and economic development throughout Iraq. It is incumbent upon us as the international community to support Iraq in its endeavours.”

“We extend our thanks to Special Representative Hennis-Plasschaert and the entire UNAMI team for their continued excellent work. We also commend the good cooperation between the Government of Iraq and UNAMI. The resolution adopted today not only renews but also improves the mandate of UNAMI. It shows the unity of the Council in assisting Iraq to achieve political stability and sustainable development. A strong UNAMI with the capacity to assist the people and the Government of Iraq in addressing the complex challenges is more relevant than ever, and we look forward to the full implementation of its mandate. Secondly, on developments in the country, Indonesia commends Iraq on the formation of the new Government and looks forward to the appointment of the remaining ministerial positions.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Indonesia. I would first like to thank Ms. Jeanine Hennis- Plasschaert, Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Iraq and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI). I will focus on three points. First, on UNAMI's work, we are pleased to join Council members in welcoming the adoption of resolution 2470 (2019) on the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq. I would like to thank the Iraqi delegation for the excellent cooperation, as well as the United States of America, as the penholder, for its work on the resolution. We applaud the essential work done by UNAMI, which, I believe, is perceived positively in various areas of Iraqi society.”

“Efforts should be made to help those in need, and such efforts should be facilitated in order to reach them and save innocent lives. In conclusion, I call on all parties in Libya and all countries that care for the people and children of Libya to silence the guns and give peace a chance so that the men, women and children of Libya can enjoy the end of Ramadan and celebrate the festive day of Eid al-Fitr this year and many years to come.

“Salame's warning on the danger of civil war, which would ultimately affect women, children and other civilians. Nothing is more tragic than brothers and sisters fighting one another. Finally, Indonesia calls for the protection ofcivilians in Tripoli and throughout the rest of Libya. We are saddened by the increasing number ofcivilian casualties in this crisis. Nevertheless, we are also concerned for the safety of United Nations personnel, as well as the medical and humanitarian workers on the ground. We hear from Special Representative Salame that there are attacks on health facilities and ambulances, which is in violation of resolution 2286 (2016). It is important for all parties to respect international humanitarian law and human rights, and not target civilians or humanitarian workers.”

“On 17 May, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported that 126 civilians had been killed, including 29 confirmed civilian deaths; more than 75,000 people had been internally displaced due to ongoing hostilities, 48 per cent of whom were children. It is estimated that 100,000 men, women and children remain trapped in immediate front-line areas, with over 400,000 more in areas directly impacted by clashes, as mentioned by the Special Representative. Water and electricity cuts are being reported from front-line areas, while market access and the availability of food is very limited. Every day of violence means more people killed, injured or displaced. Every day of inaction in the Council will lead to more deaths. The situation is indeed deteriorating, and it must stop. We must heed Mr.”

“Although the scheduled time for the national conference in April has come and gone, we should not forget that we were once there. We can come back to that point and pick up where we left off. Indonesia supports the convening of the national conference as soon as possible so that the Libyans can peacefully discuss the future of Libya, but we need a ceasefire in order for that to happen. Thirdly, Indonesia would also like to reiterate its call for a humanitarian pause during the month of Ramadan. We are closely following the reports from Libya. Sad to say, the numbers are disheartening.”

We welcome the efforts made by Special Representative of the Secretary-General Salame' to restore a unified international position on Libya to end its current crisis. The Council has repeatedly shown its support for the work of the Special Representative and the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, and today Indonesia would like to affirm its continued support. We call on all partners - the United Nations and regional organizations, including the African Union - to continue their support and their work in pursuing peace in Libya. Secondly, Indonesia supports the convening of the Libyan national conference.”

At the outset, we would like to thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Ghassan Salame, Commissioner Chergui and Ambassador Schulz for their briefings. We had hoped that Mr. Salame would have come in person last month to bring us good news, but apparently he has come to the Security Council today to bring us grim news. Indonesia would like to join others in expressing its deep concern about the situation in Libya. I would like to bring four points to the attention of the Council. First, Indonesia calls for the cessation of hostilities in Libya. We reiterate the call of the Security Council on 10 May for all parties to commit to a ceasefire and de-escalation and to return to the United Nations-led political mediation.”

Among those are domestic controls over nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and related materials, including measures to account for and secure such items, appropriate effective physical protection measures, effective border controls and law enforcement efforts, appropriate effective national export and trans-shipment controls and controls on providing funds and services related to exports, such as financing and transporting.”

“The focus of the 1540 Committee remains the prevention of the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, their means of delivery and related materials to non-State actors, particularly for terrorist purposes. It is widely recognized that the use of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, including for terrorist purposes, could have devastating and potentially catastrophic consequences. The readiness of non-State groups and individuals with extreme or apocalyptic views to use extreme violence in various parts of the world remains a matter of serious concern. In that context, no State is exempt from the task of making every effort to prevent such proliferation.”

I thank the Member States that have provided information, as it has proved challenging to obtain responses from all relevant Member States.

“Under the resolution, it is crucial that Member States engage with and provide updated information to the Committee and the Monitoring Team on the evolving nature of the threat, listed individuals and entities and the status of implementation and enforcement of the sanctions measures.
