  1. “In that connection, my delegation is of the view that the Syrian issue should also be resolved peacefully through dialogue, without foreign intervention, in accordance with the Charter's principle of respect for sovereignty and non-interference. In conclusion, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will continue to stand firmly with the Palestinian and Arab peoples in their just struggle for peace and stability.”

  2. “The support of the just struggle of Palestinians for an independent State, with East Jerusalem as its capital and on the basis of the pre-1967 borders, is a trend that no one can stop. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea strongly condemns Israel for its illegal settlement expansion and demands that it stop undermining peace and security in the region, and that it withdraw its forces from illegally occupied Arab and Palestinian territories without preconditions. I take this opportunity to clarify once again the principled position of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea: all disputes should be settled peacefully through dialogue and negotiation between the parties concerned without any interference from outside forces.”

  3. “The main reason that the Middle East has fallen into a chaos characterized by terrorism, destruction and the refugee crisis is the high-handedness, arbitrariness, military aggression and interference in other countries' internal affairs by the United States. The United States, which tolerates the Israeli expansionist policies and nuclear capability, is the principle offender destroying world peace. All facts demonstrate that the Security Council, which is mandated to ensure peace and security in the world, should pay greater attention to today's changing reality and undertake much stronger measures to reach a fair solution to the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. The establishment of an independent State of Palestine is an inalienable and sovereign right of the Palestinian people.”

  4. “Such double standards are extremely visible with respect to the Korean peninsula, and the Security Council sanctions resolutions against my country, fabricated by the United States, provide a typical example of that. The United States persists in its desperate attempts to deprive the Democratic People's Republic of Korea of its independence and its legitimate and justifiable right to defence. Obsessed with its ill-intended, inveterate antipathy towards the independence of other countries, the United States also fabricated a sanctions resolution against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea using the Security Council, in wanton violation of international justice and the principle of impartiality, and has pressured other countries to implement such resolutions.”

  5. “Israel has ignored the just and fair demands of the international community and it is continuing to cling to the aggressive and inhumane policies of illegally occupying Arab territories, expanding settlements, blockading the Gaza Strip, ruthlessly killing civilians and so forth. This reality is negatively affecting the peace and security process in the Middle East. Nevertheless, the Security Council, whose main responsibility is to safeguard international peace and security, has turned its face away from Israeli atrocities without taking any appropriate measures, thereby bringing about serious damage to the credibility of the Security Council. This is because the Security Council played into the hands of the double standard of the United States, taking Israel's side in the matter.”

  6. “I thank you, Mr. President, for convening this open debate. Let me begin by welcoming the adoption of resolution 2334 (2016) on 23 December 2016, which clearly condemns illegal Israeli settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem. The resolution of the Middle East question is today one ofthe top priorities for sustaining peace and security in the world. Almost 70 years have passed since the international community started its endeavour to settle the Palestinian and Middle East issues, which started with Israel's occupation of Arab territories in 1948. Nevertheless, no significant progress has been made yet. This is entirely due to the Israel's anti-peaceful stand and the prejudicial Middle East policies of certain forces.”
