  7. “I wish to remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously. To that end, I take this opportunity to remind speakers that the presidency will use the flashing lights on the collars of the microphones to prompt them to bring their remarks to a close. Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate the texts in writing and to deliver a condensed version when speaking in the Chamber. 1 would also like to inform everybody that we will be carrying on the open debate right through the lunch hour, as we have a large number of speakers. I now give the floor to the Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation of the Netherlands.”

  8. “It is also about global prosperity, peace and security, because conflict is costly in every sense.

  9. “Exclusion and the lack of development provide fertile ground for extremism, terrorism, organized crime and conflict to thrive, and they also drive migration. The United Kingdom has made a historic commitment to spending 0.7 per cent of its national income on development, with much of that already spent in fragile States and conflict-ridden countries. We support development and peacebuilding through the United Nations and have committed United Kingdom troops to United Nations operations in Somalia and South Sudan. We believe that such investments and steps are the right thing to do, and right for our national interest, too. This is about saving the next generation from the scourge of war and allowing all individuals the opportunity to live the life and build the future that they want, free from violence or the threat of it.”

  10. “It means moving from peacekeeping to peacebuilding by investing in basic services in fragile and conflict-affected States; by helping to build a stronger economy and jobs; by supporting strong and accountable institutions, the rule of law, respect for human rights, free and fair access to markets, the rights of girls and women; and by tackling corruption. That progress should be achieved through the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The United Kingdom believes that that is strongly in our national interest and that of every country. Investment in prosperity and stability overseas is critical, if we do not want global problems to end up on our own doorsteps.”

  11. “But as the Secretary-General's report on the United Nations and conflict prevention (S/2015/730), the report of the High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations (see S/2015/446) and the report of the Advisory Group of Experts on the Review of the Peacebuilding Architecture (see S/2015/490) set out, increasingly our international institutions need to take on a greater role in addressing the underlying causes of fragility and conflict. That means prioritizing conflict-prevention as much as its resolution by taking early action when faced with the signs of a deteriorating situation.”

  12. “It is bad for the poorest. It is bad for business. It corrodes the fabric of society and public institutions, acting as a perverse welfare system that transfers resources from the poor to the rich. Therefore, addressing those issues can build the backbone of a stable State. Without them, individuals cannot fulfil their potential. Communities cannot thrive. Businesses will not invest. The whole country stagnates. It is not only national institutions that matter. The strength of international institutions is critical as well. We know that the Security Council has a vital role in peacekeeping decisions and swift humanitarian actions - a vital role in ensuring that international humanitarian law is adhered to when conflict erupts and in helping to find political solutions.”

  13. “If individuals do not have a voice in society, it does not mean that their grievances are not there, only that no fair forum exists for them to be heard. And so grievances fester and build. Stability means rights for girls and women. We know that girls and women are those most vulnerable when crises hit, and they must be an integral part of any peacebuilding and conflict solution. The ongoing high- level review on women and peace and security will be critical to that. Women's economic empowerment is essential to sustainable development. Recent research suggests that if women in every country had the chance to play the same role in economic markets as men, as much as $28 trillion would be added to the global economy by 2025. Stability means a society and institutions free of corruption. Corruption is bad for development.”

  14. “The past 15 years have shown us that trying to build development in any country without a solid foundation of peace and stability is like trying to build a house on sand: it will simply be washed away when crisis hits. How can we make sure that solid foundations are in place? Stability is not only about addressing war and conflict, it is about countries having strong economies and healthy and educated populations. Critically, it is about the strength of their institutions. Our Prime Minister has called it the golden thread of development. Stability means the rule of law, property rights and an independent judiciary, because the poorest people in the world are not just going hungry. They lack justice. They want jobs. They want the right to own their own land and to build their own businesses.”

  15. “The Council heard yesterday about the bloodshed in Syria (see S/PV.7560), which has shattered so many lives. But let us also look at the social and the economic cost to the whole country and to future generations. It is estimated that the Syrian conflict has turned the clock back on that country's development by 30 years, and it is conflict-affected States that are the most off-track for achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The reality is that, if we are to achieve the new global goals for ending poverty and to live up to our promise to leave no one behind, then preventing conflict and building peaceful societies is absolutely vital.”

  16. “I thank Ms. Bouchamaoui for her briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Secretary of State for International Development of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I thank the Secretary-General, Ms. Bouchamaoui and Ambassador Skoog for their statements. I am very pleased to be presiding over the Security Council again today, the first Development Minister to be doing so. That is because development and security are intrinsically linked. The United Kingdom sends its heartfelt condolences to those tragically caught up in terrorism. From Paris to Syria, from South Sudan to Yemen, from Beirut to Sharm el-Sheikh, we see more clearly than ever the pain, suffering and cost of conflict - the human cost.”

There being no objection, it is so decided. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2015/730, which contains the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations and conflict prevention.”
