“Furthermore, as mentioned in the draft 2016 report of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations, we wish to re-emphasize the significance of unarmed strategies to protect civilians by United Nations peacekeeping missions as political instruments that can effectively protect civilians by helping to bring an end to violent conflicts, thereby maintaining the confidence of parties in peaceful solutions. It is also in this context that we wish to acknowledge the important role of the United Nations police components, including female police officers, in protecting the civilian population and creating a stable environment, consistent with their mandates. It would be remiss if we did not include the notion of conflict prevention in this debate.”

“My delegation wishes to re-emphasize that the protection of civilians is the primary responsibility of the host country and, in this context, it shares the View of the High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations with regard to the supporting role of United Nations peacekeeping missions to relevant Governments in executing that responsibility. Promoting respect for human rights and international law is a long-term effort, which needs to be nationally owned and supported by the United Nations and the international community.”

“Positive results will be attained when common directions, cooperation and collaboration are well established among the Council, the troop- and police-contributing countries, the Secretariat and host countries. There must be a well-coordinated whole-of-mission strategy as mentioned by the Secretary-General in his latest report on the protection of civilians (S/2016/447). We also fully agree with him that the sustainable protection of civilians will ultimately require political solutions. It is therefore imperative to ensure that peacekeeping mandates are well defined, realistic and linked to a wider political process, and that missions are provided with all the resources necessary to the implementation of their respective mandates.”

“As rightly mentioned in the concept note (S/2016/503, annex), various progress has been made over the past two decades in strengthening international protection frameworks, in particular by the Council. However, the progress and related guidance, concepts and advocacy have not yet been translated into effective action in the field, where the actual improvement is need. It is important that all peacekeeping stakeholders be aware of the gap between the mandate of protecting civilians given by the Council and what the missions can actually deliver with their existing resources. An enhanced role of the Security Council in this regard, along with its regular and meaningful consultation with other peacekeeping actors, are indeed critical.”

“Let me first thank you, Mr. President, for convening this very important debate on protecting civilians in the context of peacekeeping operations. We also thank the briefers for their respective statements. Indonesia aligns itself with the statements delivered by the representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement and of Thailand on behalf of Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The role of United Nations peacekeeping operations in protecting civilians cannot be overemphasized, and as peacekeepers are increasingly mandated to carry out complex responsibilities in dangerous situations, protecting civilians is indeed one ofthe most challenging tasks for United Nations peacekeeping missions.”

“Currently, 1,537 Indonesian troops and police are participating in eight United Nations peacekeeping operations in Africa. The Indonesian National Defense Forces Peacekeeping Centre, which has already imparted training in multidimensional peacekeeping and peacebuilding to personnel from a number of African countries, will continue to do so. In conclusion, Africa is facing interconnected challenges in fully realizing its potential, thereby requiring an interconnected undertaking among Africa, the United Nations and the international community. As a longstanding friend of Africa that has supported the freedom of its nations since the Asia-Africa Conference of 1955, Indonesia remains committed to supporting Africa in achieving its vision of enduring peace and prosperity.”

“The comprehensive way forward elaborated at last year's Asia-Africa Summit, in a declaration on reinvigorating the new Asia-Africa strategic partnership, outlines important steps aimed at bolstering the AU in achieving its aims. Among other things, the 2015 Bandung message calls for strengthening the roles and capacities of regional and subregional organizations in the two continents in areas of peacekeeping, post-conflict reconstruction and peacebuilding, through enhanced regional, South- South and triangular cooperation and in accordance with the principles of impartiality, the consent of the parties and national ownership and leadership. Indonesia will continue its unwavering support to African countries. Our bilateral cooperation and training programmes in civilian capacity-building and other fields will expand further.”

“Similarly, in our region Vision 2020 of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations describes a group of nations that is outward looking and lives in peace, stability and prosperity in a partnership of dynamic development and in a community of caring societies. It has contributed greatly to peacefully managing disputes, thereby assuring our region's collective well-being. Since the convening of the Asia-Africa Conference in Bandung more than six decades ago, where the first generation of Asian and African leaders resolved to chart their nations' destinies based on new solidarity and vigour, Indonesia has attached high importance to its relations with Africa.”

“Many African mediators and peacekeepers have already performed admirably in challenging situations. We believe in the importance of the role of regional organizations in preserving peace and stability, as they are the ones that fully understand their respective regions and their cultures. As a longstanding friend of Africa and an observer in the African Union, Indonesia supports the five thematic priorities of the AU's new road map for the period 2016-2020 in the framework of the African Peace and Security Architecture. Those efforts need the full support of the United Nations and the international community.”

“In so doing, it is important to ensure that credible political solutions be the drivers in the design of peacemaking and peacekeeping initiatives and that nationally owned comprehensive efforts in the areas of peace and security, development and human rights be adequately supported politically and sustained financially. A robust regional partnership is what the African countries have envisioned for themselves. The African Union together with its mechanisms, in just 14 years, has shown an impressive depth and solidity. We applaud all of the members of the AU for enabling it to play an increasing role in social, political, economic and security issues. The African leaders' declaration on achieving a conflict-free Africa is both commendable and a key pillar of the AU's visionary Agenda 2063.”

“Encouragingly, various debates at the United Nations, including the high-level thematic debate on peace and security that took place earlier this month, reflect widespread general agreement and enthusiasm for the key messages that came out of the recent three major reviews - of United Nations peace operations, the United Nations peacebuilding architecture and the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), on women and peace and security. In keeping with that spirit, Indonesia urges all concerned Member States and the United Nations system to intensify their focus on conflict prevention, integration and partnerships, with a view to resolving conflicts peacefully.”

“Overturning apartheid, the gradual building of institutions and the launch of policies for peace and progress were no small achievements. Not surprisingly, their enterprise as a whole has resulted in annual economic growth greater than 5 per cent for over 15 years. Nevertheless, like many other developing countries, including my own, Africa is still confronted with many challenges from poverty to natural disasters and from pandemics to terrorism, as well as issues related to refugees and transnational crimes. I would stress once more that these challenges do not belong solely and exclusively to Africa. Indeed, many other regions on other continents also face these challenges, requiring a similar serious, concerted undertaking by the United Nations and the international community.”

“First of all, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to the Egyptian presidency of the Security Council for convening today's important meeting. I also offer my thanks to the Under-Secretary- General for Peacekeeping Operations, the Permanent Observer of the African Union (AU) to the United Nations, the Special Representative of the Secretary- General to the African Union, and the Permanent Representative of Kenya for their respective briefings. Indonesia also associates itself with the statement made by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who spoke on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. Struggling against colonialism and other obstacles to development, African nations have had to navigate a difficult path.”

“In that regard, Indonesia will continue to utilize the Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation as a platform for regional and global cooperation in capacity-building and invite others to do so. We look forward to a closer collaboration among States and the United Nations system in this important task.”

“This is so since respect for human rights, while countering terrorism, can help secure the confidence of terrorists and their families in the Government. Building this confidence is a fundamental element in de-radicalization because the ideologies ofterrorism are often built upon views of the illegitimacy of the Government. Moreover, violations of human rights and lack of good governance may contribute to the spread of ideologies of terrorism. In conclusion, I wish to underscore the importance of the sharing of best practices and lessons learned in de-radicalization and counter-radicalization, as part of our continuous efforts to strengthen States' capacities.”

“Our counter-radicalization programmes involve many important stakeholders, such as educational and religious institutions, youth organizations, media, women, victims of terrorist attacks and even former terrorists, at both the national and provincial levels. Within the context of counter- radicalization, we have put in place appropriate measures to prevent the spread of terrorists' messages through the Internet. We also use the Internet to prevent, detect and deter acts of terrorism. That include creating websites to disseminate messages of peace and respect and the gathering of information that may lead to the prevention of terrorism and prosecution of terrorist suspects. Thirdly, we remain faithful to the belief that respecting human rights contributes to effective counter-terrorism efforts.”

“At the same time, we also have to be watchful of the danger of the terrorists spreading their ideologies among inmates in prison. Yet the result of our de-radicalization strategy is tangible. Today, terrorists who have denounced their ideologies are among our allies in countering terrorism. On account of their past, they are in a good position to explain the danger of terrorist ideologies, as well as its impacts on the public, the terrorists themselves and their families. Secondly, deradicalization programmes must be complemented by counter-radicalization, which aims at providing the public with narratives to counter those of the terrorists.”

“It aims at building trust and eradicating the ideology of terrorism. Education and training are provided to equip former terrorists with practical trades to assist them in their reintegration into society, following the conclusion of their sentencing period. The role of family and women is important in educating individuals and assimilating them into the communities. It is important to note that, in order to succeed, we must be able to identify the root causes of the ideologies of terrorism. Based on our experience, the misinterpretation of religion is not the only reason behind the ideologies of terrorism. There are many other factors that must be taken into account, such as individual backgrounds and motivation, or collective grievances and victimization. It must be emphasized that deradicalization is a long and challenging process.”

“Indonesia believes that more efforts must be made in this regard with a view to establishing effective strategies at the national, regional and global levels. Along that line, I wish to share some of Indonesia's experiences in developing and implementing strategies to counter narratives and ideologies of terrorism, as part of our contribution to the efforts to enhance global cooperation in this particular matter. First, our national efforts to counter narratives and ideologies of terrorism are conducted within the framework of the blueprint on deradicalization, which focuses on at least three critical programmes: dialogue, empowerment and reintegration. Dialogue is conducted among convicted terrorists and a team of experts in religious, social and psychological counselling.”

“Terrorist groups recruit and train new members, operate and seek funding anywhere they wish, regardless of State boundaries. Supported by those capacities, certain terrorist groups, notably the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, Boko Haram and other groups linked to Al-Qaida, have devastated regional peace and stability and threatened the stability of other regions. Terrorist groups have also used information technology extensively to spread messages of hatred and violence. Their propaganda has also contributed to the rise of lone wolf terrorists. With those facts in mind, it is imperative to strengthen synergy at all levels and all aspects of our cooperation. Countering the narratives and ideologies of terrorism is indeed critical in preventing terrorism and violent extremism.”

“Let me begin by thanking His Excellency Mr. Sameh Shokry Selim, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Arab Republic of Egypt, for presiding over the earlier session of the open debate and you, Mr. President, for convening this very important meeting. I would also like to thank the Deputy Secretary-General, the Secretary-General of Al Azhar Islamic Research Academy and the Vice-President of Microsoft for their briefings. Indonesia associates itself with the statements to be delivered by the representatives of Kuwait and Thailand on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, respectively. The concept note (S/2016/416, annex) for this debate underlines the grim reality of the global nature of terrorism.”

“Indonesia remains hopeful that the round of peace talks that began in Geneva last week will build the momentum needed for an inclusive political process. We commend the work of the United Nations in facilitating the talks, especially the dedication shown by the Special Envoy, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, and encourage all parties to the conflict to respect the goals of peace and humanity. We urge all Syrians to make full use of the current diplomatic impetus by swiftly reaching a political settlement that can serve as a basis for future peace and stability in Syria. With respect to Yemen and Libya, we welcome the continued dialogue that could boost efforts to restore national unity and peace in the region. What is at stake are the lives of many innocent civilians.”

“In that regard, I would like to express Indonesia's appreciation for the initiative on the part of the relevant parties to mobilize the support of the international community and push the peace process forward. With regard to the conflict in Syria, Indonesia once again urges all concerned and interested parties to work hard to bring the conflict to an end and allow humanitarian assistance to reach all those in need. It is absolutely intolerable that the conflict, which has been ongoing for approximately five years, has dragged on for so long, with repercussions now being felt around the world. That fact only underlines the imperative of an inclusive process involving all Syrians to settle the conflict.”

“Sadly, despite the overwhelming support of Member States for all resolutions on the question of Palestine, no substantial efforts have been undertaken to implement them. Indonesia has repeatedly called on the Security Council to delay no further in ensuring that Israel complies with international law and the relevant United Nations resolutions. The Council must also pave the way for the resumption ofa credible peace process aimed at putting an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the establishment of an independent State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital. The world cannot wait any longer for us to hold briefings and closed consultations while people are losing their lives and the two-State solution is fading away.”

“It is the responsibility of Israel, the occupying Power, to observe and comply with its international obligations, such as the protection of the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people and to prevent the occurrence of extrajudicial killings, which have been rampant in recent times. Israel must also realize that its restrictions on the movements of Palestinians and the arbitrary conduct of its security forces against Palestinians can only breed anger and resentment and that it must refrain from committing collective punishment. The United Nations has adopted hundreds of resolutions on the question of Palestine since the Organization was established. Last month, the Commission on the Status of Women adopted yet another resolution on the situation of Palestinian women, which Indonesia co-sponsored.”

“Indonesia remains convinced that the occupation must be brought to an end and that all efforts must be exerted to achieve the two-State solution. Indeed, last month, the fifth Extraordinary Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, hosted by the Government of Indonesia, drew the attention of the international community to the urgency of attaining a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the question ofPalestine. The Summit also called on the international community to support the boycott of products produced in or by the illegal Israeli settlements. Israel's continued construction of illegal settlements in and around East Jerusalem, along with other illegal activities, poses a further challenge to efforts to find a wise course of action.”

“Last January, the Secretary-General spoke about the growing frustration, alienation and despair felt by the Palestinians with regard to the prolonged occupation of their homeland. Since then, violence in the occupied Palestinian territory has continued to grow at an alarming pace. No progress can be seen in the efforts to halt the violence or address the injustice and oppression committed against Palestinians. Indonesia is following with deep concern that troubling development. Not only does the continued violence reflect the hurdles on the way of peace, it also symbolizes the hardening of suspicion and animosity between the two peoples, which could hinder efforts to restart the political process.”

“Let me begin by expressing the appreciation of my delegation to the presidency of the People's Republic of China for convening this open debate, and to the Secretary-General for his briefing. My delegation would also like to take this opportunity to express condolences to the Governments ofEcuador and Japan for the tragic loss oflives resulting from the devastating earthquakes last week. Indonesia associates itself with the statement delivered by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries, and with the statement to be delivered by the representative of the State of Kuwait on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. This debate comes at a time when there is increasing global concern about the prospects for peace in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.”

“It is inconsistent with international standards and norms as enshrined in various treaties, and runs counter to our efforts to generate coordinated and coherent approaches at all levels. My delegation is very much in agreement with the assertion made by the Secretary-General at the Geneva Conference last week, to the effect that the extremists seek to divide us and to make us turn on each other. This we must avoid. Terrorism is not the problem or fault of a single country or a few countries; it is a global challenge. In the face of the dreadful threat of global terrorism, our unity is needed more than ever.”

“The strategy should also appreciate the efficacy of dialogue in promoting respect and tolerance, and aim at strengthening the engagement of public and community leaders, as well as religious and cultural understanding and approaches. We also must address the increasingly worrying trends of terrorism, such as the movement of foreign terrorist fighters to and from conflict areas, the flow of financial resources of terrorist groups, and the use of digital technology to spread terrorist narratives and terrorist recruitment. Lastly, Indonesia underscores the danger of associating terrorism with any religion, nationality, civilization or ethnic group. This careless practice is not only entirely incorrect, but also creates a larger problem.”

“In that regard, Indonesia sees the merit of building networks of civil society organizations from different parts of the world that focus on sharing information on local dynamics and their ramifications outside the country or region, as well as best practices in addressing them. These networks will complement the work of Governments in identifying conditions conducive to terrorism and formulating the necessary responses. Soft measures in a preventive approach must be emphasized, such as through education; the participation of civil society organizations and media, including social media; and strengthening the roles of families, women and youth.”

“It is of the utmost importance for the Council, and the United Nations system, to work with States and regional organizations, if necessary, in developing and implementing a comprehensive strategy to counter terrorism. There is an urgent need to strengthen mechanisms for the real-time exchange of intelligence information among Members. Prevention must also continue to be at the centre of our strategy. To our understanding, there exist personal and communal motivations to embrace radicalism or extremism, and to commit acts of terrorism. All those motivations are shaped further by a complex intertwining of political, social and economic conditions. This unique but intricate dynamic is sometimes different from one country to another.”

“The Council, for example, must be firm and united and work harder in conflict management and resolution, in light of the fact that several terrorist groups have for years been using conflict areas as safe havens to build the groups. Prolonged conflicts and injustices have also been identified as promoting conditions suitable to the breeding of terrorist motivation. Secondly, working with States to increase their capacity remains an essential role that the Council should continue to focus on through the Counter- Terrorism Committee and its Executive Directorate. Capacity-building programmes must be developed based on the objective needs of respective State.”

“The review will present a good opportunity to take stock of what we have and have not done in implementing the Strategy, which has been in place for 10 years, as well as to discuss the Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism, as mandated by General Assembly resolution 70/254. Indonesia hopes that the review will lead to a more solid and effective framework of cooperation in addressing global terrorism. To take advantage ofthis discussion, I would like to highlight three pertinent points, as follows. First, security measures alone will not suffice in defeating terrorism. The Security Council must further contribute to making the United Nations system's more robust and coherent and take concrete measures against terrorism.”

“Let me begin by thanking the presidency of China for convening this open debate. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his briefing. Indonesia associates itself with the statement to be delivered by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran on behalf of Non-Aligned Movement. Indonesia takes note with grave concern the increasing incidents of terrorist attack in many places throughout the world. The attacks are a grim reminder for us to redouble our global efforts to defeat terrorism. In that regard, the role of the United Nations, including the Security Council, in our multilateral cooperation to counter terrorism becomes more and more critical. Along that line, Indonesia underlines the importance of the forthcoming biennial review of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in June.”
