1. “Azerbaijan’s continued violations of international law and prior commitments and its warmongering and aggressive behaviour should not be tolerated by the Council or by the international community at large. To achieve sustainable peace, it is equally important to ensure safe and unimpeded humanitarian access to conflict zones by the United Nations, in conformity with the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence, as well as the safe, voluntary and dignified return of the displaced population and the preservation of cultural and religious heritage. We believe that the New Agenda for Peace provides a timely opportunity to address those and other multifaceted contemporary challenges and to reinforce the prevention toolbox of the United Nations.”

2. “Regrettably, the lack of adequate reaction from international structures allowed Azerbaijan to further pursue its aggressive policies. It has been almost five months since Azerbaijan put the Lachin corridor, the only lifeline connecting Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia and the outside world, under an effective blockade. Moreover, on 23 April Azerbaijan installed a checkpoint in the corridor, violating the trilateral statement on a ceasefire of 9 November 2020, as well as disregarding the provisional measures indicated by the International Court of Justice, according to which Azerbaijan shall take all measures at its disposal to ensure the unimpeded movement of persons, vehicles and cargo along the Lachin corridor in both directions.”

3. “The United Nations and its principal organs, particularly the Security Council and the International Court of Justice, has a central role in promoting justice and accountability and upholding faith in the rule of law among nations. To build trust, prior agreements and international commitments should be implemented in good faith and in full. The well-established record of non-compliance by Azerbaijan with international treaties, agreements and arms control regimes and its consistent refusal to implement confidence- and security-building measures throughout the years have demonstrated a clear intention of instigating further hostilities in our region, notably exemplified by its large-scale aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020.”

4. “Efforts should be made to ensure broader participation by women and youth, to counter all forms of violence and discrimination and to strengthen international oversight capacities. Human rights and fundamental freedoms must be placed at the centre of the international efforts, with special attention on the protection of civilians in vulnerable situations, and particularly those affected by conflicts. Upholding the rule of law in the maintenance of international peace and security is essential for the realization of the rights to truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence of breaches of trust and international peace. Often it is the lack of accountability for wrongful acts that breeds more violence and sows discord.”

5. “We join others in congratulating Switzerland on assuming the presidency of the Security Council. We thank you, Madam President, for organizing today’s important debate. We also thank Mr. Volker Türk, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, as well as the other briefers for their valuable contributions. The mounting challenges to international peace and security are indeed troubling and call for strengthened international cooperation. The Security Council should be able to perform its responsibilities enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and take all measures on behalf of the wider membership of the Organization to maintain peace and security around the world. To futureproof peace, new impetus should be given to the prevention agenda, peacebuilding and trust- and confidence-building.”
