  1. “In conclusion, I would like to express our gratitude to the women peacekeepers around the world for their service. My country will continue to advocate the women and peace and security agenda.”

  2. “Türkiye actively promotes the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) in international platforms, including the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and NATO. Türkiye has contributed to the development of NATO policies in the context of the women and peace and security agenda. We continue to implement gender-responsive training for security personnel deployed domestically, as well as in the NATO Mission Iraq, the Kosovo Force and other peacekeeping missions. We support the protection and empowerment of women and girls in conflict and post-conflict situations. As the largest refugee hosting country, Türkiye continues to make every effort to support the women and girls who fled Syria. And we sincerely hope that this will enable Syrian women to participate in the rebuilding of post-conflict Syria.”

  3. “First of all, to ensure the success of the women and peace and security agenda, we need to address the core issues causing inequality and protect the human rights of women and girls. We also need to strengthen the global response to the horrific acts perpetrated against women and girls in conflict situations. We must promote the implementation of international humanitarian law under all conditions, Moreover, we must ensure women’s full and meaningful participation as active agents in the prevention and resolution of conflicts. We welcome the fact that women’s engagement in peacebuilding and peacekeeping will be central to the New Agenda for Peace. Last but not least, it is crucial that we incorporate a gender perspective into the training of security personnel both at national and international levels.”

  4. “The situation in the Middle East, which was addressed by the Security Council this week, as well as in Ukraine, Afghanistan, the Sudan and other regions, indicate that half the advances of the women and peace and security agenda can easily be rolled back. As the humanitarian toll in Gaza is rising, women and girls have been gravely impacted. Thousands have been either killed, widowed or displaced. Pregnant women in Gaza are unable to access safe hospitals. We express our profound concern over the fact that sexual violence, a dreadful violation of human dignity, has become a regular tactic in times of armed conflict. And too often women are excluded from efforts to prevent and resolve conflicts. I would like to highlight our priorities.”

  5. “Mrs. Güven (Türkiye): I thank the Brazilian presidency for convening this important debate as we mark the anniversary of resolution 1325 (2000). That resolution has been a significant milestone, not only in highlighting women’s participation in international peace and security but also in addressing the disproportionate impact of armed conflicts on women. Thanks to the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda, there has been deeper awareness on the asymmetric impact of conflict on women, and yet women and girls in various parts of the world continue to suffer immensely as conflicts intensify.”

  6. “To that end, Türkiye will continue to utilize its potential emanating from its strong State tradition, central geographical position, robust institutions and strong human resources.”

  7. “It is indeed a good example of the multi-stakeholder collaboration among Governments, international organizations and the private sector. The vision is developed by the Turkish authorities with the contributions of the UNDP, the World Bank, the European Union and supported by close cooperation among the public and private sectors, as well as NGOs. It aims to build greener and smarter with disaster resilience and energy efficiency while building permanent housing in the earthquake-affected areas. It is our collective responsibility to find adequate ways and means to fill the gaps and explore new ways of collaboration among different actors in the humanitarian and development fields.”

  8. “In that respect, Türkiye is the co-founder of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)’s Istanbul International Centre for Private Sector in Development, facilitating the contribution of the private sector towards achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Türkiye also hosts and supports the United Nations Technology Bank for the Least Developed Countries. The Bank plays a crucial role as an important global actor in the development efforts of the least developed countries in science, technology and innovation, together with relevant partners within and outside the United Nations system, including the private sector. Last but not least, Türkiye’s long-term recovery vision, which was set in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes that hit Türkiye, is based on the principle of build back better.”

  9. “Türkiye’s solid partnership with the United Nations, complemented by the private sector, has also made the difference in addressing conflicts unfolding in our region. Türkiye, together with the United Nations, played a key role in the implementation of the Black Sea Grain Initiative. The Initiative ensured the export of over 33 million metric tons of grain and foodstuffs. Through commercial vessels, the Initiative proved itself to become a textbook example of good public-private humanitarian partnership. Türkiye is continuing its efforts to resume the Initiative by taking into account the concerns of all stakeholders involved. Türkiye’s partnership with the United Nations has also been designed to promote the humanitarian- development nexus and to strengthen the role of the private sector in that equation.”

  10. “Finding long- term solutions to humanitarian crises is a necessity for the promotion of the humanitarian-development nexus. Against that backdrop, Türkiye has capitalized on the fundamentals of its enterprising and humanitarian foreign policy. My country has advocated for global cooperation and effective multilateralism, as reflected in its comprehensive and long-standing partnership with the United Nations. That partnership has also enabled the private sector to play its role. In that regard, we hosted the first World Humanitarian Summit, in 2016. The Summit also served as a unique platform for Governments, the United Nations, the private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to discuss new ways to address the most pressing global challenges.”

  11. “Mrs. Güven (Türkiye): I would like to express our appreciation to you, Mr. President, for convening an open debate on this important topic. Humanitarian needs across the world are surging in an era marked by overlapping crises, natural disasters, conflicts, inequalities and increased uncertainty. The lack of progress, even regress in some of the Sustainable Development Goals is a great concern for us all. The current level of development financing and other means of implementation are far from satisfactory. Investment gaps are hardly narrowing. Funding for humanitarian operations is decreasing day by day. The gap between funding requirements and donor contributions puts immense pressure on both recipients and donor countries. Exploring innovative approaches is therefore key to making humanitarian operations more effective and inclusive.”
