“Moreover, we reiterate the need for the Committee to continue to fully meet its responsibilities to pursue the necessary investigations ofviolations that have been committed and to maintain a positive commitment, alongside the Iranian authorities, to clarifying all outstanding issues related to past violations. We invite the Iranian Government to respond to the Panel of Experts's requests for clarification in that respect. Along the same lines, we encourage States that have not yet submitted their reports on the measures taken towards the implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions to do so. We also call upon them to fully cooperate with the Panel of Experts, as the success of the Committee very much depends on those States submitting their reports.”

“If a comprehensive agreement is reached on the Iranian nuclear issue, pursuant to the paramaters set out by the IAEA for the peaceful production of nuclear energy, it would represent a first step in the right direction that we should seize upon to strengthen regional security. We hope that such an agreement will bolster the efforts of the international community to address all the challenges facing the Middle East, in particular in the field of security, and that it will not detract from our consideration of all other dossiers in the Arab region.”

“These efforts must be part and parcel of full and complete cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and in accordance with the releveant legal instruments, the Charter of the United Nations and international law, while consistently taking into account the nature and quality of security and safety measures applicable to nuclear installations. Given the emerging possibility of Iran and the P5+l achieving an agreement on the political framework and main elements of a comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue in the near future, Jordan, alongside the rest of the international community, is eager to receive details of the agreement and implementation measures.”

“Mr. Hmoud (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): I should like at the outset to thank the Permanent Representative of Spain for his interesting statement and for all his efforts in leading the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1737 (2006). I also thank the Panel of Experts for their work in preparing the relevant reports. Jordan is deeply committed to respecting the right of all States to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes; that is particularly so for developing countries attempting to promote economic growth.”

We therefore await a review of peacekeeping operations in Afghanistan in the context of the comprehensive review of peacekeeping operations to be carried out by the Secretary-General. We call on the Afghan Government to take hold of the reins of power and implement the transformation decade.”

“This will be a real test for the country, especially given the fact that summer is coming. The international community must continue to support the Afghan forces so that they can eradicate such phenomena. Finally, we call on the international community and all donor countries to continue their support for Afghanistan and to provide it the necessary support so as to guarantee development and stability in the country, with full respect for the principles of neutrality and sovereignty and for humanitarian principles. We call on the Afghan authorities to appropriately manage all international assistance and call upon them to ensure that such assistance reaches its intended beneficiaries.”

“We call on the Government of Afghanistan to make greater efforts with regard to the empowerment of women at all levels, and also to guarantee that the perpetrators ofhuman rights violations are pursued and brought to justice. We encourage the Afghan Government to hold strategic talks with neighbouring countries so as to strengthen cooperation in various areas. We also urge Afghanistan's neighbours to strengthen mutual confidence-building measures and to support Afghanistan through security cooperation efforts and regional processes. Such projects, after all, are in everyone's interest. The Afghan forces will be in charge of security and the fight against drug trafficking and terrorism following the end of the mandate of the International Security Assistance Force.”

“In this regard, we hope that the new Afghan Government will be formed as soon as possible and that the reform process will be accelerated. The political and security process in Afghanistan must be supported by economic, social and educational measures. Despite the progress that has been made in those areas in Afghanistan, the Government must redouble its efforts in order to protect its citizens from the various threats and from terrorist activities. It must also strengthen and speed up the implementation of measures aimed at combating corruption and protecting human rights. The Government must also reform the various security and civilian sectors and work to find a solution to the problem of internally displaced persons.”

“The reconciliation process has been marked by a number of incidents of attempted sabotage, threatening territorial integrity and peace in Afghanistan. That is one of the greatest challenges facing the new Afghan Government, which must address this issue as a top priority. We attach great importance to the fact that the Government is pursuing the national reconciliation process in order to make progress towards a comprehensive reconciliation in Afghanistan. On that basis, we would urge the implementation of the reform processes that have been announced by the President of Afghanistan since he took office. Some of those measures were announced during the London Conference last year, and they can strengthen stability in Afghanistan.”

“Mr. Hmoud (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): I would like to thank Mr. Nicholas Haysom, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan, for his briefing. I thank him and the team of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for their efforts. Afghanistan is now moving into the transformation decade, which shows clearly that it is headed towards a better future for its citizens. The period ahead is replete not only with opportunities but also with challenges, some of which could pose a threat to the future of Afghanistan. The Afghan people themselves must confront those challenges with determination, and this effort will depend first and foremost on the competence and performance of the new Government. It is also important to pursue dialogue and consultations among the Afghan factions.”

“In conclusion, the complex challenges we face show clearly that strengthening cooperation and coordinating our efforts, as well as exchanging expertise and lessons learned between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations, has become ever more vital as we combat current threats to peace and security by developing rapid reaction systems for preventing and resolving crises and ensuring that problematic situations do not arise. It is important that such cooperation continues on the basis of our shared values and goals, and with the aim of maintaining international peace and security.”

“The rapprochement that has been achieved among countries in the Middle East and those of the European Union has also had many positive results, including the special relationship that exists between Jordan and the EU. We have excellent cooperative relations through the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and the Deauville Partnership, launched under a French initiative in 2011. Jordan is also the European Union's premier partner in the area of technical negotiations, particularly regarding the establishment of a partnership on migration.”

“International cooperation should therefore be intensified and focus on relaunching a political dialogue under the auspices of the United Nations to find the best means to support the Libyan Government and its legitimate, constitutional institutions as they face the security and political challenges of confronting fundamentalism and terrorism so that Libya can finally and successfully complete its transitional process. I should also mention the positive role the European Union has played in its efforts to contain crises and achieve stability in the Balkans, particularly in Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Ukraine, as well as through its contribution to strengthening States' capacities in order to establish stable societies and supporting peace, security and the rule of law.”

“It is also the largest donor to the Palestinian people and considers the establishment of peace between Palestinians and Israelis to be one of its major foreign policy objectives. That in itself indicates the determination by the European Union to further contribute to the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli issue and other thorny issues in the Middle East. Another example of the active role played by the European Union is reflected in its great contributions to assisting Middle Eastern and North African countries in implementing political reforms, bringing about democratic transition and providing social and economic support. In Libya, the deterioration of the situation will have repercussions not only in neighbouring countries but also in Europe, the Middle East and the rest of the world.”

“In the Middle East, the European Union plays an active and supportive role in the resolution of many issues in the region, which it considers to be one of its highest priorities and major interests in the foreign policy sphere. The States members of the European Union and countries of the Middle East also share the same vital interest and security concerns, such as terrorist organizations and transborder crime, which can only be addressed through a strong regional partnership. The European Union is also an important member of the international Quartet, together with the United Nations, the United States of America and the Russian Federation, with a view to reaching a comprehensive solution to the Palestinian-Israeli issue and the establishment of the independent State of Palestine.”

“In the face of global challenges, security threats and economic pressures in our world today, the European Union has become involved in many regional or international efforts to develop a unique and effective set of tools and mechanisms for promoting political partnership, economic support and commercial activity, as well as in dealing with crises and finding appropriate solutions for them. Most of the challenges we face are transboundary, transcending the borders of one country or one region. The EU is aunique regional organization since it is aware that the security and stability of one region depends on what is happening in neighbouring countries and other regions.”

“The active role played by the European Union in international forums and in its bilateral and regional partnerships, not only with countries within Europe and their neighbours but with many other countries of the world, adds further importance to the United Nations work to preserve peace, prevent conflict and promote regional and international security. The common values and objectives of the United Nations and the European Union facilitate the work of both organizations in facing today's challenges in promoting human rights and equality and mediation and rapprochement among conflicting parties. At the diplomatic and foreign policy levels, the European Union plays a major role in contributing to regional complementarity based on joint cooperation.”

“They also require paying greater attention to relationships between the United Nations and such regional organizations as the European Union, the African Union and the League of Arab States, which would enhance the role played by all these organizations in addressing regional issues and their containment. There is no alternative to the important role played by these regional organizations in the maintenance of peace and security in their respective regions. As regional organizations, they are better able to understand the nature of the regions, their needs and the challenges they face.”

“Furthermore, Jordan fully the supports the activities of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons fact-finding mission. We stress the need to take its conclusions into consideration, in particular those pertaining to the use of chlorine as a weapon in Syria. That is a crime and a violation of international humanitarian law and of international criminal law, as well as of resolution 2118 (2013). Such acts are indeed a threat to international peace and security. Jordan stresses that measures under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations should be imposed in the case ofnon-implementation ofresolution 2118 (2013) and that a monitoring mechanism should be put in place to ensure that chemical weapons and facilities are never again used in Syria.”

The resolution prohibits the use of chemical weapons in Syria. We voted based on our conviction that the Security Council must deal with the issue in accordance with its prerogatives under the Charter of the United Nations The use of weapons of mass destruction in Syria would have serious consequences for the country and the region. Jordan condemns the use of all chemical weapons in Syria. It stresses that those who perpetrate such acts must be prosecuted. These are war crimes and crimes against humanity, perpetrated against thousands of innocent civilians. The perpetrators must not be above the law.”

“We call on the Government of Ukraine to continue implementing the human rights strategy it has developed and to continue drafting the legislation necessary to protect all of its citizens.

We call on all parties to lift all obstacles in order to ensure access by those organizations to the areas requiring assistance. Furthermore, we urge support for the strategic response plan for 2015 set forth by OCHA to ensure humanitarian assistance to the people in need. We stress that such organizations will be unable to carry out their humanitarian work without proper political support from all of the parties to the conflict, in addition to the necessary international financial support for such assistance.”

We consider it necessary to to make additional efforts at this crucial stage aimed at resolving the crisis in Ukraine, especially in the light of the building blocks available to make progress on a political solution.”

“The current divisions among Ukrainians as a result of such violations and breaches may lead to a point of no return in the matter of Ukraine. That serves the interest of no party whatsoever and would have long-term negative effects on security and stability in the region. Jordan appreciates the limited improvement in the security situation in eastern Ukraine and the ceasefire being respected in some regions. We stress the need for an end to all confrontation in eastern Ukraine. In that regard, we emphasize the need for all parties must uphold their responsibilities under the Minsk agreements and translate those agreements into facts on the ground.”

“Those actions, in addition to other security challenges, continue to hamper the work of humanitarian organizations and stability in Ukraine. Jordan is increasingly concerned about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Ukraine, including the effects of the random shelling of civilian areas. In the current situation, the first priority must be the protection of civilians, mitigating their suffering through urgent measures to assist displaced persons and Ukrainian refugees and supporting basic services, particularly in the health sector, which has suffered enormously as a result of the crisis in Ukraine. Furthermore, pressure must be brought to bear on the parties to the conflict, particularly the separatists, to compel them to respect the rules of international humanitarian law and human rights law and to cease all violations thereof.”

The crisis in Ukraine has created an extremely difficult humanitarian situation for Ukrainians. Thousands have been forced from their homes and into exile in other areas. Furthermore, more than 1 million people in Ukraine are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. We are therefore compelled to achieve a positive, peaceful settlement that takes into account the interests of all parties puts an end to military actions.”

We call on the parties to fully implement the provisions of the September Minsk agreement in accordance with the specified time frame. The Minsk agreement is the main reference point upon which all successive agreements are based. Furthermore, we believe that the package of measures does not in any way alter the provisions of the Minsk agreement. We call upon all parties to observe the agreements and to implement the measures set out therein. We also call upon them to take the necessary measures to declare a ceasefire and to withdraw heavy weaponry.”

“Mr. Hmoud (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): Jordan welcomes the adoption of resolution 2199 (2015), which will help to cut off the sources of funding for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and affiliated terrorist groups. We must fight ISIL with all tools available under international law. Resolution 2199 (2015) is one such tool. The international community must pool its efforts to fight the funding of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. Jordan will be on the front line in fighting this phenomenon and these terrorist groups, including ISIL. The martyrdom of the pilot Muath Al-Kaseasbeh makes Jordan even more resolved to persevere in these efforts.”

We emphasize the importance of the activities carried out by the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo, which is helping the country to modernize and build the State.

“In that connection, one of the most important features of a modern secular State is its ability to treat all citizens equally and without discrimination. We therefore encourage the authorities in Kosovo to step up their efforts, in particular in the areas of modernizing the legislative system with regard to autonomy for minorities so as to ensure their rights, thereby strengthening efforts at reconciliation among all members of society. Minorities must be protected from all attacks and against any attacks on their religious, cultural and historical institutions or property. Jordan reiterates its call for strengthened relations between Kosovo and the international community, including facilitating its accession to various international organizations. Efforts must be made to not hinder Kosovo's accession to such bodies.”

“We hope that the meetings will be successful and lead to the full normalization of bilateral relations between the two States. Jordan welcome's Kosovo's adoption of a law to criminalize participation in foreign conflicts. This will contribute to improving the domestic security situation in Kosovo and help preserve stability in the region. The progress and positive steps taken by Kosovo on all fronts in general, and specifically on the rule of law and human rights, are a testament to the will of the people of Kosovo to consolidate the institutions of a modern State, thereby proving to the world that they are able to live up to their responsibilities. All of those efforts strengthen that stature of Kosovo on the international level.”

“Stabilizing the political environment will contribute to a stronger State, leading to the economic and social development that the citizens of Kosovo deserve. Good-neighbourly relations and respect for sovereignty and the individual characteristics of each State by the other countries of the region are the most important elements in ensuring stability and prosperity for the Balkans in general. We therefore call on the two neighbours -Serbia and Kosovo - to continue with the full implementation of the agreements reached bilaterally, including the Brussels Agreement. We also call for strengthened cooperation in all areas. We welcome the announcement of next week's resumption of the high-level dialogue sponsored by the European Union.”

I would also like to welcome Mr. Ivica Dacie, First Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia, and Mr. Hashim Thaci, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kosovo, whom I thank for their statements. First of all, we congratulate Kosovo on having formed its Government, which we hope will fulfil the aspirations of the people of Kosovo. Achieving the promise of its policies and overcoming the problems that existed in the course of setting up the current Government require greater efforts from the authorities and genuine, responsible actions to improve the political atmosphere prevailing in Kosovo.”

“A political and peaceful solution will not be possible in the context of resort to military means or unilateral measures that undermine regional and international efforts and bring the negotiations back to square one. Rather, the solution lies in the effective measures that lead to peace and calm. Jordan calls on all States with influence on the separatists to urge them to refrain from the use of force and to cease all violations, which can lead only to further instability in Ukraine. We call once again on all parties involved in this conflict to shoulder their responsibilities, to immediately implement a ceasefire and to stop all escalatory measures, including provocative and irresponsible speech by any party.”

We also call for the bringing to justice of all of the perpetrators of these criminals acts. This serious setback in the situation in eastern Ukraine and the spread of the fighting to other cities makes it incumbent on all parties to hold an emergency meeting to continue the negotiations based on previous agreements and with a View to speedily reaching a comprehensive ceasefire.”

“Instability in Ukraine will be bad not only for Ukraine but also for all the countries of the region and beyond, and the negative political and economic impact will affect the whole region. That is why we feel that we must take practical steps to comprehensively implement the Minsk accord for peace both in letter and in spirit. That is the political framework that was agreed by all parties with a View to achieving a comprehensive peace. We also call on the Ukrainian Government to continue with its reform programmes, especially in the public andjustice sectors, and to see thatjustice is done by holding accountable those who have committed crimes, including those who have used explosive weapons, and bringing them to justice, as well as completing e the trials that were begun for some of them.”

“We do not need to reiterate them at every meeting, but to affirm that they must come to an end. That is why we call on all parties to show self- restraint and to immediately stop using force so as to salvage the peace process through a return to peaceful negotiations in order to avert any further escalation, which would only lead to more violence among the parties to the conflict. We reiterate that there is a need to stop the escalating use of provocative language among the parties so as to give reason and dialogue a chance. Jordan reiterates its belief that it is important to respect the borders of Ukraine as well as its sovereignty and territorial integrity, not to interfere in its internal affairs, to restore security and calm to the border areas, and to stem the flow of foreign fighters and weapons to the separatists.”

“Mr. Hmoud (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): I should like to extend our thanks to the Under-Secretary- General for Political Affairs, Mr. Jeffrey Feltman, for his comprehensive briefing. Jordan expresses its concern vis-a-Vis the accelerating deterioration of the situation in Ukraine. The crisis has reached dangerous proportions, and the Security Council and the international community must therefore work harder than ever before to resolve the crisis. More than 4,700 people have died so far and more than 1 million have been displaced to other regions within Ukraine and neighbouring countries as a result of the conflict in the east and the deterioration of the humanitarian situation there, especially in basic economic and health services. This is in addition to the flagrant and systemic violations of human rights being committed.”

“In many situations, those may have social, economic, ethnic, religious or tribal roots. Guaranteeing the sustainability of peace and development must not only be based on the absence of war, but also on replacing the structures that led to inequality and insecurity. Countries in post-conflict stages must be assisted in building new structures, or in restructuring them, so that we can instil the concepts of justice and equality, particularly in societies that experienced war crimes, genocide and all kinds of discrimination and marginalization. In conclusion, we believe that successful development policies based on inclusiveness contribute to addressing social and economic imbalances and the sense of injustice that extremist groups could use to recruit, particularly among young people.”

“That should not be understood to mean that donor countries or relevant organizations are the catalysts of change in those societies. Rather, change must be intrinsic to that society, take local knowledge into consideration and not ignore the internal dynamics of such societies. Gender relations in society play an important role in establishing the basis on which peace is built. We must therefore focus on including women at all stages of peacebuilding and development projects and on empowering them during conflict and in post-conflict situations.

“Jordan stresses the importance of addressing the concept of national ownership in achieving sustainable peace. The primary responsibility falls on national authorities in deciding the priorities in post-conflict peacebuilding. Such policies should be both specific and realistic, and the goals attainable through well-planned coordination among national societies and all stakeholders at the local level. That can also be achieved through a realistic assessment that takes into consideration the specific needs of societies emerging from conflict and their circumstances, as well as available resources for implementing those policies. Donors have the responsibilty of providing the necessary development support for States in post- conflict peacebuilding.”
