“My delegation hopes that the draft resolution that will be presented in due course by the delegation of Qatar on behalf of the OIC and the League of Arab States will serve as a basis in that regard.”

“It also appears that the road map is nothing more than a piece of paper, just like the Council resolutions on the Palestinian question - excellent in substance but poor in implementation. My delegation appeals once again to the Council to shoulder its Charter-mandated responsibility for the sake of both the Palestinians and the Israelis, for the sake of peace and security in the region and the world at large, and for humanity. While serious efforts to resuscitate the Middle East peace process are being made, establishing and deploying a United Nations force without further delay to the occupied Palestinian territories is an option that the Council should seriously consider.”

“If such acts are considered legitimate under those circumstances, then I am afraid that we have returned to the long-gone dark ages of our ancestors, and that Council members, oblivious to their responsibilities under the Charter, are sitting here in this Chamber seemingly endorsing those war crimes and crimes against humanity. 06-60930 My delegation continues to recognize the important role of the diplomatic Quartet. The road map and the two-State solution envisaged therein, among others, have provided real hope for peace. Given the current situation on the ground and the steadily deteriorating overall situation in the region, it appears that the three-year-old road map has been deliberately asphyxiated by a Power mightier than the Quartet.”

“The Security Council is well aware of the details of the United Nations force proposal, which had also been recommended by the Secretary-General. Unfortunately, the repeated calls made in the past for the Council to consider that proposal have been met with resistance. Consequently, thousands of defenceless Palestinian civilians, including women and children, have been, and will continue to be, killed or wounded and their property and infrastructure destroyed as a result of the relentless acts of aggression and the excessive and indiscriminate use of force by Israel, the occupying Power, in a business-as-usual fashion. In retaliating against the occupation and aggression, acts by Palestinian militants have wrongfully led to Israeli civilian casualties and to the destruction of their property.”

“My delegation believes that, under the present circumstances of heightened tension, only the forcible separation of the two sides would be able to provide the necessary peace and security that would be conducive to the resumption of negotiations aimed at a political settlement. Malaysia, along with other countries, has long urged the Security Council to establish a strong interposing international protection mechanism which would have the immediate effect of defusing the explosive situation on the ground and instilling confidence in the two sides. My delegation therefore urges once again that a robust international protection force be deployed without further delay. We cannot afford to let the violence spiral out of control or allow this conflict to remain unresolved indefinitely.”

“Let me begin by associating myself with the statement delivered by the representative of Cuba on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement and with the statement to be delivered by Azerbaijan on behalf of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). My delegation endorses the statement delivered by the representative of Qatar on behalf of the Group of Arab States and by the Permanent Observer of Palestine. My delegation would like to expand on one point touched on in those statements, namely the establishment and deployment of a United Nations observer or peacekeeping force to the occupied Palestinian territory. The establishment and deployment of a United Nations force to the occupied Palestinian territory is a proposal that has been before the Council for almost four decades.”

“Malaysia shall continue to provide competent and well-trained police officers to that component. Finally, it is clear to Malaysia, judging from the Secretary-General's report, that the international community must assess and take stock of the progress and challenges faced by the Government and people of Timor-Leste, and that it has a common responsibility to contribute to Timor-Leste's progress and development in the period following the draw-down of the United Nations Office in Timor-Leste. It is crucial for us to meet the urgent and indispensable requirements of the country in its time of need. In that connection, my delegation looks forward to the adoption of a comprehensive draft resolution to meet the urgent needs of Timor-Leste.”

“In August 2003, the Royal Malaysian Police deployed a self-sustained unit consisting of 125 personnel to serve in the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor to form the international police unit in support of the Timor-Leste national police. Currently, the Royal Malaysian Police continues to deploy a formed police unit of up to 250 police personnel under a bilateral agreement between the Government of Malaysia and the Government of Timor-Leste. The Government of Malaysia is continuously reviewing its position with a view to being further involved in Timor-Leste. In that regard, Malaysia looks forward to and is ready to meet our obligations in the form of making available a formed police unit of up to 140 police personnel for the new mission in Timor- Leste.”

“The request for a strong civilian component, with a police force of considerable strength backed by a small military force under the command and control of the United Nations, is a matter of Vital urgency for the mandate of the new mission, in conformity with the will of the Timorese people. The call was a manifestation of Timor-Leste's exercise of its rights as a sovereign nation. In that regard, we call on the United Nations and other international agencies, including the international security forces, to respect the spirit and decisions of the people of Timor-Leste. Malaysia will continue to uphold its commitment to the collective attainment of global peace through its unwavering support of the central role of the United Nations in the maintenance of international peace and security.”

“We have confidence that the United Nations is able to meet Timor-Leste's need for economic development, education, recovery, transparency, capacity-building and justice in a comprehensive and effective manner. Timor-Leste is an independent, sovereign member of the community of nations. In the exercise of its rights, the request contained in the letter dated 4 August 2006 addressed to the Secretary-General from the Prime Minister of the Republic of Timor-Leste should be the basis for serious consideration by the Security Council and the international community.”

“We would also like to commend the Security Council for coming to the aid of Timor-Leste in its hour of need, and especially for supporting the deployment of the international security force, which has played a significant role in maintaining peace and security in the country. As the Council prepares to re- engage in Timor-Leste, in establishing a follow-up mission it is crucial that the quality as well as the duration of the international presence be evaluated and improved. In that regard, Malaysia supports the establishment of a multidimensional and integrated United Nations peacekeeping mission, prioritizing the long-term needs of the people of Timor-Leste, and in that regard recognizes their immediate humanitarian and security concerns.”

“It is clear from the report that the process of nation- building and reconciliation is a highly complex and sensitive matter. At the same time, the formation of a sustainable democratic State will require a higher level of maturity on the part of the people of Timor-Leste. In that regard, we hope that the leaders of Timor-Leste will place great emphasis on the issue of the rights of the people. Given current developments, we firmly believe in the will and ability of the leadership and the people of Timor-Leste to tackle the crucial issues facing the country. Malaysia believes that, with political stability and sound economic and social planning, the economy will gradually progress and develop.”

“My delegation joins others in congratulating you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. We also wish to pay tribute to your predecessor, the Permanent Representative of France, for his stewardship of the Council last month. I wish to thank you and members of the Council for convening this public debate to consider the report of the Secretary-General pursuant to resolution 1690 (2006). I would like to thank the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Timor-Leste, Mr. Jose Luis Guterres, for his invaluable briefing, and the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General, Mr. Ian Martin, for his comprehensive presentation of the report. We welcome the report of the Secretary-General.”

“The barbaric and senseless killings and total madness in the Middle East must be halted immediately. This Council holds the key to peace, security and tranquility in the region. Delay in taking action will result in more death and destruction. Concrete proposals, old and new, including those by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, that would enable the Council to act are before each and every one of you - representatives of States, members of this august body - for consideration. We need not remind you of your duties and responsibilities. You know exactly what they are and what needs to be done, and you must do that now in order to save the lives of other human beings and, equally important, in order to avoid catastrophic consequences in the region.”

“We condemn the abduction and detention of cabinet ministers, government officials, soldiers and other individuals, and we demand their immediate and unconditional release. Innocent human beings, including infants and children, in the occupied Palestinian territory, Lebanon and Israel are dying and suffering even as we speak in this Chamber. The life of each human being is sacred and must be protected. We realize that no matter how much condemnation there is against anyone and no matter how much we deplore death and destruction, that will not in itself bring an end to the violence, hostilities and casualties in the region. We recognize that the solution could be achieved through the Council and by the parties in the Middle East. The Non-Aligned Movement appeals to the Council to take decisive action without delay.”

“I believe that the members of the Council could better use the time at their disposal to deliberate on practical measures to end the crisis currently enveloping the region, as well as to facilitate efforts to end the occupation by Israel of the Palestinian territories, thereby achieving a just, lasting and comprehensive solution in the Middle East, which should be the overarching framework in this regard. The Non-Aligned Movement is gravely concerned about the deteriorating situation and the escalation of violence in the Middle East, particularly in the occupied Palestinian territory and in Lebanon. We condemn all acts of terror, violence and destruction. We condemn attacks against civilians and civilian property and infrastructure and deplore the resulting death and destruction.”

“I have the honour to speak on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. My statement should be read in conjunction with the statements of the Movement that I have transmitted to you, Mr. President, concerning the situation in the occupied Palestinian territory and Lebanon dated 6 July 2006 (S/2006/491, annex) and 19 July 2006 (S/2006/548, annex), respectively. Our positions on the situation in the region, as set out in this Chamber on many occasions and as contained in the two statements just mentioned, are clear and consistent. The Movement reaffirms those positions and calls on members of the Council to consider them seriously during the ensuing deliberations. I shall not repeat them here.”

“The strengthening of relations between the two neighbouring countries augurs well for them, including in their continued efforts to delineate the land borders between them. We are confident that both countries will continue to be able to resolve their bilateral issues in the spirit of friendship and cooperation. As a neighbour, Malaysia reiterates its commitment to nation-building in, and the development of, Timor-Leste. We have offered earlier assistance bilaterally and will continue to explore new areas of assistance with the Government of Timor- Leste. We remain in full support of the United Nations activities in post-UNOTIL assistance, especially regarding the efforts of the Government and the people of Timor-Leste as they prepare to meet the challenges of their first presidential and parliamentary elections.”

“My delegation is concerned about the troubling developments related to the disgruntled portion of the Timorese armed forces, as well as about how little progress has been made towards resolving the issues. Today it was reported that tens of thousands of residents of Dili had fled the capital fearing new clashes between the former soldiers and the police. We are, however, encouraged by the steps already taken by the Government to contain the disturbances. We hope that it will continue to work towards an amicable solution in order to end the impasse. It is encouraging to note the growing relations between Timor-Leste and Indonesia, as manifested in the recent meeting in Bali between President Xanana Gusmao and his Indonesian counterpart, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.”

“That is indeed an important point for the international community, including the Security Council, to note. There is a need for the continued presence of the United Nations not only to provide impartial support for the conduct of free and fair elections, but also as a stabilizing influence on all segments of society throughout the period leading to the elections. In that regard, Malaysia supports the recommendation of the Secretary-General regarding the establishment of an integrated United Nations office comprising civilian, police and military elements, for a period of 12 months commencing on 21 May 2006, to undertake the challenges of the approaching elections.”

“Those advances could not have been achieved without the full commitment, the determination and the strong resolve of the country's leadership and the support of the Timorese in general, coupled with sustained assistance and cooperation from the international community. Nevertheless, many of the country's institutions are still at a nascent stage, and will require the continued assistance and support of the international community. My delegation notes that, as UNOTIL's mandate comes to an end, one of the main challenges facing the country relates to the need to consolidate the progress that has been made in laying the foundations for a democratic system. The presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for 2007 will be a significant step forward. Those elections will be a test for the maturity of democracy in Timor-Leste.”

“The United Nations has played a remarkable role in peacebuilding in Timor-Leste through its various missions since 1999, initially by providing security and facilitating the country's emergence from conflict and subsequently by nurturing the development of political, economic, social, legal and judicial institutions. In the past year, the United Nations has also supported Timor-Leste's development needs through UNOTIL. The significant progress made by Timor-Leste during the reporting period, from 14 January to 12 April 2006, demonstrates its firm commitment towards the achievement of poverty reduction and economic growth. That progress has also strengthened the efforts made towards the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals.”

I am pleased to note that the activities carried out by the United Nations and by the United Nations system, as well as the contributions made by UNOTIL, have continued to provide a window of opportunity for progress in Timor-Leste, particularly with regard to the transition to a sustainable development assistance framework.”

“There is a Chinese proverb which says, "Make a decision when a decision is called for. Hesitation only brings disaster". The Council must not be reluctant to invoke its functions and powers, especially on this question - for the sake of the Palestinians and the Israelis, for the sake of the people in the region and in order to serve and meet the collective interests and desire of our global family of nations, which has clearly pronounced itself repeatedly on this question. The Movement remains hopeful that our collective interests and desire will be translated into reality sooner rather than later.”

“The Movement renews its call for the intensification of efforts by the Quartet to salvage the road map and to work earnestly towards the full and honest implementation of its provisions. The Non-Aligned Movement stresses the necessity of upholding international law, international humanitarian law and the Charter of the United Nations with regard to the question of Palestine. The Movement further stresses the permanent responsibility of the United Nations, in particular the Security Council, with regard to the question of Palestine until it is resolved in all its aspects. The Council is in a position to prevail upon Israel and Palestine to achieve their long-held desire for a just, lasting and comprehensive final settlement. The Council shoulders the primary responsibility for ensuring that they do so.”

“The Movement continues to note with concern that the Israeli Government has failed to take the necessary first step in accordance with its obligations therein. It has evaded the provisions of the road map and substituted different steps which are inconsistent with international law and relevant General Assembly and Security Council resolutions. It is incumbent upon both Israel and Palestine, as well as in their own interests, to create, with the assistance of the international community, the necessary conditions that could lead to the resumption of negotiations with a view to seeking a just, durable and comprehensive final settlement. Those entail, in particular, the denouncing of violent measures or acts of terrorism and the revoking by Israel of unilateral actions that could further undermine peace and stability in the region.”

“They deserve much better treatment, and we, the Member States, have the duty to ensure that they receive it. In that connection, the Non-Aligned Movement renews its call upon Israel to disburse without delay to the Palestinian Authority the full amount of the monthly tax and customs revenues which rightfully belong to the Palestinians, in accordance with the Israeli-Palestinian Protocol signed in Paris in 1994. Those much-needed revenues could greatly alleviate the dire humanitarian conditions and suffering of the Palestinian people, who are in need of food and water, medicine and medical treatment, and education for their children, among other things. The Non-Aligned Movement remains concerned about the failure of repeated efforts to revive the peace process, and deeply regrets in particular that the road map has yet to be implemented.”

“The decision by the Palestinian people to choose, through a free, fair and secure democratic process, their representatives to the Palestinian Legislative Council should be respected. The outcome of the elections in Palestine last January should not be used as a pretext by the international community to cease extending economic and financial assistance and other forms of aid to the Palestinian people. We welcome all financial and humanitarian assistance provided by the international community to meet the needs of the Palestinian people and urge strongly that this be sustained. Any suspension of assistance could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe in the Palestinian territories. The Palestinians should not be punished; they do not deserve to be punished.”

“The Movement condemns the killing or injuring of innocent civilians, which is unjustifiable, and condemns all acts of Violence and destruction, including terrorism and suicide bombings. In that regard, the Movement urges the Security Council, bearing in mind its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, immediately to intervene by pressuring Israel to stop all attacks against the Palestinian people, as well as by assisting and supporting the Palestinian Authority in its ongoing efforts to prevail upon groups in its territories to halt all rocket attacks against Israel. The Movement urges both sides to act in conformity with international law and to refrain from taking any steps that could further escalate the violence and exacerbate the already tense situation in the region.”

In the light of the current situation in the region, the Non-Aligned Movement urges Israel in particular to exercise maximum restraint and both sides to take all necessary measures to stop the vicious circle of violence, which has caused so many casualties among innocent civilians and so much destruction to public infrastructure and property.”

“The Movement strongly condemns such campaigns, in particular the wilful killing of Palestinian civilians, including extrajudicial killings; the excessive and indiscriminate use of force by Israel; and the siege and collective punishment imposed against the Palestinians, including severe restrictions on the movement of persons, goods and humanitarian aid workers, further exacerbating the already grave socio- economic debilitation of the Palestinian people. Those acts have led, and could lead in future, to further Violent retaliatory measures by the Palestinians.”

“Fulfilling the provisions contained in those instruments could lead to the achievement of the two-State solution, with Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security within recognized borders, based on the pre-1967 borders. Israel should withdraw from all the territories it has occupied since the 1967 war. Israel must realize that, after almost four decades, a military solution is certainly not the answer. In the words of Sun Zi, one of the greatest military strategists of ancient China, "Of all the stratagems, to know when to quit is the best". The time for Israel to quit its occupation of Palestinian territories is now. The Movement is gravely concerned at the escalating military campaigns launched by Israeli forces in the occupied Palestinian territories last week.”

The Movement further reaffirms its support for the Middle East peace process on the basis of the relevant General Assembly and Security Council resolutions, the principle of land for peace, the Arab peace initiative, the principle of the illegality of any territorial acquisition resulting from the threat or use of force, and the road map.”

We are all too familiar with their plight and their sufferings. In this regard, we stress that the outcome of the free and fair elections in Palestine should not be used as a pretext for the international community to cease extending economic and financial assistance and other forms of aid to the Palestinian people. It would indeed be completely unfair in the event that the international community were to punish them for exercising their right to choose and determine their leaders through the ballot box.”

Finally, the Non-Aligned Movement congratulates the Palestinian people for exercising their democratic right, the right to freely choose and determine, without fear or favour, their representatives in the Palestinian Legislative Council during the elections last January. We share the assessment of the international community, including the Quartet, that the elections were conducted in a free, fair and secure manner.

Pending its establishment, the Non-Aligned Movement urges Israel, the only country in the region that has not joined the Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) nor has declared its intention to do so, to renounce possession of nuclear weapons, to accede to the NPT without delay, to place promptly all its nuclear facilities under the full-scope safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), according to Security Council resolution 487 (1981), and to conduct its nuclear activities in conformity with the non-proliferation regime.”

Thirdly, Israel should comply with its legal obligations as mentioned in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory opinion concerning the separation wall and its associated regime, as called for by the General Assembly through resolution ES-10/ 15. The complete cessation of the construction of the wall and all settlement activities is essential for the survival of the road map. In this regard also, we urge the Secretary-General to expedite establishing the register of damage caused to all natural or legal persons concerned in connection with the construction of the wall as called for also in that resolution.”

Secondly, it is incumbent upon both Israel and Palestine, with the assistance of the international community, particularly the Quartet, to create the necessary conditions that could lead to the resumption of negotiations. These entail, in particular, denouncing violent measures or acts of terrorism, which have led to the unnecessary loss of lives and casualties on both sides, and non-resort by Israel to unilateral actions or settlements that could further undermine peace and stability in the region.

Fulfilment of the provisions contained in those instruments could lead towards the achievement of the two-State solution of Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security within recognized borders based on the pre-1967 borders.”

At the outset, let me congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of March 2006. We have taken note with satisfaction of the important work done by the Council under your able and skilful stewardship. We thank the Council for allowing NAM. to participate in the deliberations on this crucial agenda item. Let me take this opportunity also to express appreciation to your predecessor, His Excellency Mr. John Bolton of the United States, for the manner in which he conducted the important work of the Council last month. The Non-Aligned Movement has in the past clearly stated its positions concerning the question of Palestine, including in this Chamber; I do not wish to repeat them here.”

“The Non-Aligned Movement stresses that the Council must fully observe all provisions of the Charter as well as all resolutions of the Assembly that clarify its relationship with the latter organ - the chief deliberative, policy-making and representative organ of the United Nations - and other principal organs. The Non-Aligned Movement remains particularly concerned over the exercise of norm-setting and establishing definitions by the Security Council in areas beyond its mandate and competence. The Non- Aligned Movement reiterates that, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 13 of the Charter, the General Assembly, which is the universal and representative forum comprising all States Members of the Organization, is primarily tasked with the progressive development of international law and its codification.”
