  1. “It is good that there is continuity in the efforts of the parties involved and in the efforts of the international community. Constructive commitment and dialogue are always the best paths to follow, as we have seen in the progress regarding the issue of Cyprus and in the dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo. We continue to be faced with numerous ever- changing challenges to international peace and security. Throughout history, but especially in the last 70 years, the international community has agreed on many instruments and tools to address challenges and prevent their escalation. It is therefore up to us to use them, individually and collectively.”

  2. “We welcome and support the direct talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan as well as the activities engaged in by all other international community members that might lead to an agreement and contribute to a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Regarding the resolution of the conflicts in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, Slovenia attaches great importance to the format established within the framework of the Geneva talks. Their continuation is essential for ensuring the security and stability of the region. We believe that Georgia should continue to cooperate with civil society in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Slovenia also welcomes the continuation of 5+2 talks on the Transnistrian settlement process, where we positively assess the constructive commitment of both sides to engaging in dialogue.”

  3. “The peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine is a non plus ultra. Talks within the Normandy format and the efforts of the OSCE must continue, and we appreciate the constructive roles of Germany and France in resolving the crisis through an open dialogue. It needs to be made clear that freezing the search for a solution is not an option. It would only protract the conflict and the suffering of the local population. Slovenia, as a member of the European Union, supports the Union's common position on the necessity of a peaceful resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno Karabakh in the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group and through respect for all relevant Security Council resolutions.”

  4. “In this regard, it is also important to further enhance cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, such as the European Union and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), which should be utilized for preventive diplomacy, peacekeeping, peacemaking and post- conflict peace-building. Slovenia has always been a staunch supporter of the principle of the peaceful resolution of conflicts through dialogue, cooperation and mediation. We wish to stress that the most important precondition for the resolution of the conflicts is respect for international law and implementation of international agreements in good faith. I would like now to turn to some specific issues. We are very concerned by the worsening situation in eastern Ukraine.”

  5. “It needs to be continuously made clear that the disregard of the international order built through the decades is unacceptable. It may be imperative to address ongoing conflicts, but it is even more important to prevent them. Preventing disputes from escalating into conflicts must be accompanied by other endeavours to create an environment characterized by cooperative relationship. It is crucial that the resolution of conflicts be done through dialogue, using diplomatic and political tools and instruments. The Security Council and the States Members of the United Nations should make better use of Chapters VI and VIII of the Charter. Prevention and the timely peaceful resolution of potential conflicts are by far the most cost- and resources-efficient approaches.”

  6. “Let me join others in conveying our sincere condolences to the Russian delegation on the passing of Ambassador Churkin. We welcome the opportunity to address the Security Council on issues related to regional and international peace and security. Although most of the conflicts in Europe might not be very high on or at the top of the Security Council's agenda, that does not mean they are any less important or even irrelevant. Many of them have the dangerous potential of escalating into threats to peace and stability in a wider region. It is very important that we recognize the negative effects that some of these conflicts have, especially with regard to the principle of respect for territorial integrity and the sovereignty of States.”

  7. “Cooperation and credible information-sharing on early warning and situational assessments among international actors must be stepped up, in particular with a comprehensive approach that encompasses humanitarian and development assistance, human rights and rule-of-law promotion, peacebuilding and other areas. Slovenia is a traditional advocate of preventive diplomacy and preventive post-conflict mediation. In past years, we dedicated most of our efforts in this field to enhancing mediation in the Mediterranean region, especially by highlighting the priorities of actively engaging women and young people and respect for international law and the rule of law. We intend to continue pursuing those in the future.”

  8. “We welcome the engagement in conflict prevention issues at the United Nations and commend the efforts in different parts of the United Nations system to significantly strengthen the Organization's capacities. We are glad to hear that the surge in diplomacy for peace will be one of the key priorities of the Secretary- General's mandate, and we appreciate today's presentation of his vision on how to achieve that goal. In the future we need to be careful not to depart from multilateralism. We need to foster it, especially in preventive action.”

  9. “One of the imperatives for the success of conflict prevention and for the maintenance of peace and security in and among States is full respect for international law and the rule of law. Their promotion at all levels is crucial for the realization of sustained economic growth, the eradication of poverty and hunger and the protection of human rights. Justice and reconciliation must be among the main focuses for all preventive and post-conflict activities. Attaining them by peaceful means, as stipulated in Chapter VI of the Charter of the United Nations, including through international courts and tribunals, must be our common endeavour.”

  10. “We need to overcome political divisions and show that the Security Council is able to respond when dire, protracted human suffering, injustice and breaches of international humanitarian law are happening. People-centred and development-oriented approaches are important. All Governments have the responsibility to protect their own people and to sustain peace. All other entities of the international community - the United Nations, but also regional organizations, non-governmental organizations and civil society actors - could, however, do more to support the most vulnerable and fragile countries, in particular by enhancing their societal resilience and security architecture.”

  11. “Let me first thank the Swedish presidency for convening this open debate on confict prevention and sustaining peace. Slovenia aligns itself with the statement delivered earlier by the observer of the European Union and with the statement delivered on behalf of the Group of Friends of Mediation. In addition, I would like to make a few remarks from my national point of view. The global security environment has changed significantly in recent years. Multidimensional issues, such as terrorism, violent extremism and irregular migration, still represent challenges to the international community and its universal values and principles. To be able to tackle those and future challenges the emphasis must be on doing more collectively, effectively and in a timely manner.”
