  1. “Considering the role of regional organizations as stipulated in Chapter 8 of the Charter of the United Nations, ASEAN's contribution to the maintenance of international peace and security has been constructive and consistent with the spirit of that Chapter. We therefore encourage the United Nations to engage with regional organizations and all concerned parties at the earliest possible stage to address emerging threats. In conclusion, ASEAN believes that strong political will, robust leadership and sufficient resources must be consistently provided to ensure that peace is sustained and conflict does not erupt, escalate or relapse.”

  2. “Regular dialogues should be promoted to ensure that all Views are heard and that a swift and coordinated response to emergency situations is implemented. We encourage the new Secretary-General and Council members, as well as other relevant United Nations organs, including the Peacebuilding Commission, to continue to enhance cooperation to promote coherence and complementarity between United Nations peace and security efforts and development. To this end, ASEAN fully supports the efforts to create synergies and multiply positive impacts laid out in previous United Nations milestones, such as the 2015 reviews of the United Nations peace and security architecture.”

  3. “All these actions are consistent with the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 and related blueprints, which ASEAN adopted in 2015, and our regional commitments under the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia. They are also in line with the 2016- 2020 Plan of Action to Implement the Joint Declaration on Comprehensive Partnership between ASEAN and the United Nations, where we look forward to the continued development of an effective partnership with the United Nations to enhance our capabilities in preventive diplomacy and post-conflict peacebuilding. It is ASEAN's view that the Council and the Secretary-General should work closely to make conflict prevention and sustaining peace a reality.”

  4. “Guided by the Sustainable Development Goals, the ASEAN community is working together to provide political, economic and social security for all member States. We are a region of diversity, but we are striving to build our strengths based on our common interests and mutual understanding, which is the best way to prevent conflict. Beyond our region, ASEAN member States are active contributor to United Nations peace operations worldwide. Under the framework of the ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting/ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting Plus, ASEAN Member States have pledged to enhance cooperation in peacekeeping through the ASEAN peacekeeping centres network. The ASEAN Institute for Peace and Reconciliation is also a valuable contribution to conflict prevention and sustaining global peace.”

  5. “ASEAN-led platforms, such as the ASEAN Regional Forum and the East Asia Summit, have provided venues for regular dialogue on political and security-related matters in the Asia-Pacific region since 1994 and continue to play a central role in the regional stability architecture. For ASEAN, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in particular Goal 16 regarding peace and justice, can serve as important guidelines for conflict prevention efforts. Building resilient inclusive societies and a development agenda that addresses the root causes of the conflict and that provides economic opportunities in post-conflict communities are key factors that lead to sustaining peace. ASEAN has a comprehensive approach to promoting traditional and non-traditional security in the region.”

  6. “This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the ASEAN Bangkok Declaration, which established ASEAN to promote regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the rule of law in the relationship among countries of the region and adherence to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations. For the ASEAN community, maintaining and enhancing peace, security and stability and further strengthening peace-oriented values in the region is one ofthe most important purposes ofthe Organization, as reflected in the ASEAN Charter. Without peace, security and stability, it would be difficult to attain other important goals of the ASEAN community. Therefore, conflict prevention and sustaining peace remain one of the most fundamental of ASEAN's priorities since its establishment in 1967.”

  7. “We adhere to the principles of international law governing the peaceful conduct of relations among States, including refraining from the threat of the use of force, of inclusivity and responsiveness, which ensure our peoples enjoy human rights and fundamental freedoms, and of tolerance in the spirit of unity in diversity. ASEAN believes in a comprehensive approach to security that addresses existing and emerging challenges in a timely manner, and in resolving differences and disputes by peaceful means while strengthening confidence-building measures and preventive diplomacy.”
