  1. “We concur with the Special Envoy that the status quo in Syria is unsustainable and that without a meaningful political path to the implementation of resolution 2254 (2015), we risk a further deterioration of the situation in the country. That would have detrimental effects for the region, especially in the current volatile context. Diplomacy and true political will must be given a true chance. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic.”

  2. “We also recall that all sides must comply with their obligations under international law and ensure the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure. We have repeatedly stated that there can be no military solution to the Syrian conflict. In the light of the unfolding humanitarian crisis and the deteriorating security conditions in Syria, an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire is urgently needed. The Syrian people cannot afford further losses or additional damage to critical infrastructure. At the same time, renewed political will is essential to a resumption of a credible intra-Syrian political process, especially through the reconvening of the Constitutional Committee. In that spirit, we encourage all the parties to work for a resumption of the United Nations-facilitated political process.”

  3. “Since the hostilities between Israel and Hamas began, Syria has been affected by the conflict on more than one occasion. Strikes on the Aleppo and Damascus airports have disrupted United Nations Humanitarian Air Service flights more than once. Strikes on facilities in eastern Syria were reported some days ago. Sadly, as those events indicate, the situation in Syria remains very volatile, with dire consequences for the civilian population. The risk of a regional spillover of the Israel- Hamas conflict is real and cause for deep concern. In that context of growing instability, we renew our appeal to all sides to exercise maximum restraint. We want to emphasize that Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected, in accordance with international law and the relevant resolutions of the Council.”

  4. “On 5 October, we learned with distress of the terrorist attack on a graduation ceremony at the military academy in Homs, which left more than 100 dead, including civilians and children. Brazil would like to express its condolences to the relatives and friends of the victims and reiterates its firm repudiation of any acts of terrorism or attacks on the civilian population. The situation in northern Syria has deteriorated even more. In the country’s north-west, there have been reports of air strikes in Idlib, with civilian casualties and great damage to civilian infrastructure, as well as attacks by the Security Council-listed terrorist group Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham. In the north-east there have been worrisome reports of violence, including strikes affecting civilian infrastructure.”

  5. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Brazil. Brazil associates itself with the statement delivered by the Swiss delegation, in its capacity as co-penholder of the Syrian humanitarian file.

I thank Mr. Pedersen and Ms. Wosornu for their comprehensive briefings and commend their work, and I welcome the delegations of Iran, Syria and Türkiye to this meeting. We in the Security Council are holding this meeting at a moment of a dangerous escalation of violence in Syria and the region. Indeed, the recent developments in Syria are cause for grave concern.”

  10. “Continuing military operations will not bring about solutions to the multiple and complex causes of the conflict. Brazil urges the parties to resume contacts, either directly or through the good offices of third parties, with a view to opening direct negotiations that could bring an end to the conflict and a lasting solution to the disputes that originated this terrible war. That is the hope and aspiration of countries across the globe, in particular those in the developing world, which suffer from the side effects of the conflict. Brazil reaffirms its respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all States and its commitment to the peaceful settlement of disputes.”

  11. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Brazil. I join other members in thanking Under-Secretary- General DiCarlo and Assistant Secretary-General Msuya for their briefings. Brazil learned with dismay and serious concern the news of last Thursday’s attacks in the region of Kharkiv. We express our solidarity with the families of the deceased and the dozens of people injured. That act is yet another example of the immense burden imposed by the war on the civilian population. Similar tragedies have been repeated with unacceptable frequency. We reiterate our call on all parties to respect international humanitarian law and the fundamental principle of the distinction between combatants and civilians. It is urgent that the parties also engage in a sincere effort to de-escalate hostilities without further delay.”
