“The role of the international community is to assist Syrians and Iraqis in the pursuit of such dialogue. Let me conclude by assuring the Security Council that Slovenia fully supports the efforts of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Syria, Mr. Staffan de Mistura.”

“Thousands of Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans are fleeing their countries every day, resulting in a catastrophic humanitarian situation. Millions of people are displaced within the region or are seeking refuge in neighbouring countries and well beyond the region, including Europe. The international community must respond effectively to the immediate needs of those at risk by adopting an approach based on needs, all the while respecting basic humanitarian principles. We must do everything in our power to restore peace in the Middle East. The resumption of Israeli- Palestinian talks is of crucial importance for the entire region. Sustainable solutions to the crises in Syria and Iraq can be brought about only through dialogue among Syrians and Iraqis.”

“That entails education and creating employment opportunities and an environment of hope. We must also focus on the concept ofresponsibility. The international community must find a way to address the impunity currently enjoyed by those who commit such horrible crimes. The perpetrators of such atrocities must be brought to justice for their actions. The International Criminal Court plays a crucial role in the fight against impunity. We call on all States in the region to accede to the Rome Statute of the Court. We continue to advocate for the Security Council's referral of the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court. The violence and atrocities committed by extremist groups have triggered massive displacements.”

“The atrocities committed against civilians by Daesh, Al-Qaieda, the Al-Nusra Front and similar extremist groups are beyond human understanding. Given the extent and nature of the crimes committed in Iraq and Syria, they can be qualified in no other way than as crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide - with women and children being particularly vulnerable. Extremist groups constitute a complex terrorist threat that should not be solely dealt with by military means. Rather, we need to turn to diplomacy, mediation and conflict prevention. Through education and open dialogue, we need to improve our familiarity and knowledge of the other. Young people represent one of the most vulnerable groups facing radicalization and extremism. When we talk about prevention, we mean that we are looking for positive alternatives for youth.”

“Mr. Erjavec (Slovenia) (spoke in French): The stability and prosperity of the Middle East and North Africa continues to rank among the most urgent priorities for the international community. The region represents one of the cradles of our civilization, and it is both culturally and religiously rich. In that context, we condemn in no uncertain terms the destruction of cultural heritage perpetrated in Syria and Iraq. The situations in Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen are complex and extremely disturbing. Israeli-Palestinian negotiations are still at an impasse. The political, economic and social transition in the Maghreb also faces numerous obstacles. Terrorism and violent extremism - in whatever form or manifestation - cannot and must not be tolerated.”
