  2. “Brazil reiterates its deep concern with regard to allegations of the use of chemical weapons in Syria. We highlight the need for a full, impartial and comprehensive investigation of all reported incidents, such as those at Khan Shaykhun and Um-Housh, including visits to all the relevant sites. Lastly, with regard to Iraq, Brazil congratulated the Government of Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi and the Iraqi people on the liberation of Mosul, announced on 10 July. That was a milestone in the fight against international terrorism, as well as a decisive step towards consolidating security, stability and the territorial integrity of the country. Many challenges remain in ensuring the safe and dignified return of displaced persons and extending State authority and the rule of law in the liberated areas.”

  3. “Strengthening the ceasefire regime is a fundamental component of international efforts to find a political resolution to the conflict, in line with resolution 2254 (2015), including the commitments to the unity, independence, territorial integrity, and non-sectarian character of Syria. In that regard, we took note with interest of the memorandum that creates four de-escalation areas in the Syrian Arab Republic, signed last May, as well as the recent announcement by Russia, the United States and Jordan of measures to stabilize some of those regions. Such security measures create positive momentum and make it ever-more essential to advance on the political track. We need to ensure that the de-escalation zones serve as a step towards peace and the alleviation of the humanitarian situation.”

  4. “As stressed by the Secretary- General, "[r]esolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will remove a driver of violent extremism and terrorism in the Middle East and open the doors to cooperation, security, prosperity and human rights for all." (SG/SM/18595- GA/PAL/1389) We are deeply concerned about the recent incidents of violence in East Jerusalem. We regret all loss of life and call on all parties to reduce tensions and avoid further escalation. Recent developments concerning the crisis in Syria continue to demand the attention of the Security Council. It is key that the political dimension of the negotiations on Syria 4 the Geneva process 4 and the security initiatives encompassed by the Astana process continue to advance hand in hand.”

  5. “During the recently held United Nations Forum to Mark Fifty Years of Occupation, Brazil expressed its deep regret that the Palestinian right to a sovereign and independent State has not yet been fulfilled 4 almost 70 years after the adoption of General Assembly resolution 181 (II) and 50 years after the adoption of Security Council resolution 242 (1967). The recent electricity crisis in Gaza is yet another reminder of the severe social, economic and humanitarian consequences of the occupation. Brazil has consistently underscored that the two-State solution is the only just and acceptable solution to the conflict, with Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security, within internationally recognized and mutually agreed borders.”

  6. “[...] Those operations are a significant deterrent against the illegal entry of weapons or related materiel. Daily interaction and exercises with the Lebanese Armed Forces Navy have helped develop the Navy." (5/20! 7/59], para. 70) It is imperative to ensure that UNIFIL and the MTF continue to enjoy the strong political support of the Security Council, as well as adequate resources to carry out their mandate. That will be especially important in the context of considering the proposals from the strategic review conducted by the Secretariat earlier this year. Turning to the question of Palestine, a highly symbolic milestone was reached last month: the fiftieth anniversary of the ongoing occupation of East Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank.”

  7. “The MTF has successfully performed key security and humanitarian activities, ranging from the seizing arms, ammunition and illegal drugs to rescuing migrants and refugees in the Mediterranean Sea. The Task Force also contributes to regional economic development by establishing a safer environment for maritime trade. Its core assignments 4 to prevent violations of the arms embargo and to train members of the Lebanese Navy - contribute to the maintenance of calm and stability in the region and remain as indispensable as ever. The continued significance of the MTF was confirmed by the latest report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006): "[t]he UNIFIL Maritime Task Force has proved its operational effectiveness in its maritime interdiction operations at the request of the Government of Lebanon.”

  8. “I thank the delegation of China for convening this important debate. I also thank the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Mr. Nickolay Mladenov, for his informative briefing. We believe that the United Nations as a whole - and the Security Council in particular - has a leading responsibility in seeking sustainable solutions for the complex and prolonged conflicts affecting the Middle East. As the Security Council prepares to discuss the annual renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), allow me to stress the vital role played by UNIFIL in maintaining peace and stability in a vulnerable region. A particularly relevant component of the mission is its Maritime Task Force (MTF), which we have had the honour and responsibility of leading for over six years now.”
