“Contrary to expectations, we take note of the Secretary-General's report (A/72/564) from 1 November presented before the General Assembly entitled, "Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and the Occupied Syrian Golan", which mentions that the Office of the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process reported that, during the first six months ofthe year, plans have been advanced for approximately 5,000 housing units through the Israeli planning bodies in the occupied Palestinian territories. We are concerned about the forced evictions that several Palestinian communities faced, during which their inhabitants endured the demolition of their homes.”

“We note that in that time little or nothing has been achieved in its implementation. We reiterate our appeal that the quarterly report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of resolution 2334 (2016) be presented in written format and prior to the Council's briefings thereon, with a View to conducting a more thorough analysis of its content and the statistics on the settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, such as those that were presented today.”

“Mr. Inchauste Jordan (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): We thank Mr. Nickolay Mladenov, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Personal Representative of the Secretary-General, for his presentation of the fourth and final report of the year on the implementation of the provisions of resolution 2334 (2016). We would mention that, among other things, the resolution refers to the legal invalidity and flagrant violation of international law of the establishment of settlements by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories since 1967, including East Jerusalem. This is the fourth time in 12 months that the delegation of Bolivia has attended such an important meeting as this on resolution 2234 (2016), which, on 23 December, it will be one year since its adoption.”

“With regard to the situation on the Korean peninsula, we feel that it is important to begin a dialogue that will give rise to stability in the region and achieve just and lasting peace.”

“We also reiterate our support for the Russian-Chinese proposal and road map, which is, to date, the only concrete proposal that has been presented to resolve the situation. Along those lines, with regard to the efforts made to re-establish mechanisms for dialogue, we would highlight the recent visit to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman. We hope that the communication channels that could be established will remain open in order to initiate a dialogue without preconditions and build mutual trust. Finally, my delegation would like to state that today we are meeting at a time of great tension globally.”

“So far this year, the Security Council has adopted three resolutions, which are increasingly harsh and, depending on their degree of implementation, are also affecting the civilian population with possible humanitarian consequences. We believe that, as is clearly stated in those resolutions, it is not only necessary to work to implement those sanctions, but also to bring about a return to dialogue and a resumption of the Six- Party Talks. That is essential. We reiterate our support for the Chinese initiative of simultaneous suspensions on the Korean peninsula. On the one hand, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea would stop its nuclear and ballistic missile tests immediately, and, on the other hand, all types of unilateral or joint military exercises in the region would also cease.”

“We therefore urge all the parties involved to avoid increasing tensions or escalating rhetoric, and we call on them to stop the current spiral of confrontation and threats of the use of military force. It must be understood that there can be no military solution to the situation on the Korean peninsula. The sanctions imposed in the resolutions adopted by the Council should not be an end in themselves. They should serve as a stimulus aimed at bringing the parties to the negotiating table so that they can resume dialogue and achieve a peaceful, diplomatic and political solution that results in the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.”

“We would point out the importance of complying with the Charter of the United Nations, which designates the Security Council as the only legal organ that can take the necessary measures to maintain or re-establish international peace and security, in that way ruling out any unilateral action. We therefore reject any act of provocation or application of unilateral sanctions, not only because they constitute a flagrant Violation of international law but also because they undermine the efforts and work of multilateral organizations such as our own, as unilateral sanctions seek to extend the jurisdiction and internal legislation of one State to another, thereby violating the principles of equality, sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the States.”

“As part of the first densely populated zone in the world that declared itself free of nuclear weapons, through the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean, known as the Treaty of Tlatelolco, and as the first region to declare itself a zone of peace, we urge that our example be replicated in other regions of the world. In that regard, Bolivia expresses its strongest and most energetic condemnation of the ballistic missile launches and the nuclear tests carried out by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. We call on that country to abandon its nuclear and ballistic missiles programme in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner and to comply with the provisions of Security Council resolutions and return to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.”

“Mr. Inchauste Jordan (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to begin by welcoming the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan, Mr. Taro Kono, to the Security Council today to preside over our work. We would also like to thank Secretary- General Guterres for his briefing Bolivia, as a pacifist country, promotes the culture of dialogue and the right to peace, as well as cooperation among the peoples ofthe world, with full respect for their sovereignty, through diplomacy in their relations with each other. In that regard, our Constitution prohibits the manufacture and use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons on Bolivian territory.”

“In order for our actions to be effective and sustainable, we must continue working steadily on measures to alleviate the situation of the affected Rohinyga community. To that end, it is important to allow and guarantee full and unrestricted access for humanitarian assistance to all peoples who are displaced, since the only way to respond effectively to this crisis is to address the problem in all its dimensions. In this regard, we highlight the willingness of the Government of Myanmar to work with different United Nations agencies and we call on them to deepen further their coordination efforts.”

“Similarly, we call on the Government to continue making its best efforts to implement the recommendations of the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State, which include, among others, the implementation of strategies that promote socioeconomic development, citizenship, freedom of movement, community participation and representation, intercommunal cohesion and the safety of all communities. In this context, we note the establishment of the ministerial-level committee for the implementation of the recommendations, and the organization and distribution of tasks to implement them. We believe that its work and coordination with different United Nations agencies will be important in implementing the road map outlined in the recommendations.”

“We remind the parties that efforts to facilitate the return of refugees must abide by the principles of international law and that returns must be voluntary, safe and carried out under dignified conditions. Moreover, we underscore the development by the Government of Myanmar of public policies in different areas to alleviate the situation ofthe Rohingya refugees and we highlight the willingness shown by the parties to address the crisis in a crosscutting manner and look forward to their progress.”

“In this regard, we urgently call on the relevant authorities to begin the necessary investigations to identify the perpetrators of these reprehensible acts so that they are brought to justice and impunity is avoided in the face of these serious violations of human rights. Bolivia reiterates that the only way to resolve this crisis is through dialogue, and to that end the parties must commit to implementing strategies that strengthen mediation, consultations, good offices, negotiation and avoid at all cost any confrontation-based rhetoric. In this regard, we note the signing of the bilateral agreement between Myanmar and Bangladesh on 23 November to establish guidelines to allow for the return of displaced Rohingya to their places of origin.”

“If we add to those the more than 300,000 Rohingyas who became refugees before the crisis, the current displaced population in that country amounts to over 1 million people. Unfortunately, this sensitive situation is exacerbated by the outbreak of diphtheria in the Rohingya refugee camps in the Cox Bazar community in Bangladesh, where, according to the World Health Organization, more than 550 cases and 9 deaths had been reported as of 11 December. Moreover, we are deeply disturbed by reports of humiliating and degrading treatment, gender-based violence, acts of sexual aggression and gang rapes against Rohingya women and girls allegedly committed by members of the Myanmar armed forces.”

“Mr. Inchauste Jordan (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): We thank Under-Secretary- General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman and Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict Pramila Patten for their reports on the situation in Rakhine state in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. Bolivia reiterates its vigorous condemnation of the serious violent situation that has affected several communities in the Rakhine state, in particular the Rohingya community. According to data issued on 1 December by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, since the beginning of the crisis in August more than 640,000 refugees have been displaced to Bangladesh.”

“In that sense, all the efforts made by regional and international organizations should focus on a perspective of inclusion. At the same time, all the efforts made by the Security Council and our Organization aimed at eliminating terrorism should count on the maximum support of all Member States and must seek to bring to justice those responsible for terrorist acts, so that they can be duly investigated, prosecuted and punished. Finally, Bolivia expresses its greatest support for the transparent and balanced implementation of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, and we call on all States to commit to the fight against that scourge.”

“By the same token, the coordination of the work of the various Committees and subsidiary organs of the Security Council with that of the United Nations Office of Counter- Terrorism is a fundamental task needed to prevent the emergence of further threats to international peace and security in the world. In the same vein, the effective implementation of resolutions - such as resolution 2354 (2017) on narratives and methods to combat terrorism - constitutes a useful tool for preventing and combating extremist rhetoric. We believe that the countries of origin of foreign terrorist fighters should implement integration policies aimed at avoiding situations in which social and political isolation and precarious economic situations generate the space for extremist ideologies to spread and flourish.”

“However, according to the twentieth report, submitted in August by the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team established pursuant to resolutions 1526 (2004) and 2253 (2015) concerning ISIL (Da'esh), Al-Qaida and the Taliban and associated individuals and entities, the flow of foreign terrorist fighters into Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic has been decreasing, while the number of people returning to their countries of origin or moving from conflict zones to third countries has increased. In dealing with that situation, the international community should orient its efforts towards a smooth and effective exchange of information on those individuals. That should involve both States and international organizations, such as INTERPOL, as no country or region is exempt from the potential arrival of those individuals.”

“According to the study published in July by the Office of Counter-Terrorism, entitled Enhancing the Understanding of the Foreign Terrorist Fighters Phenomenon in Syria, the factors that have had the greatest influence on people when they were recruited are linked to their socioeconomic situation and their vulnerability when exposed to promises of material and personal benefits, as well as to ideological or religious convictions. Those factors have motivated more than 30,000 fighters from more than 100 countries to move to conflict zones since 2011, mainly in Syria and Iraq.”

“Undoubtedly, the use ofnew communication technologies, such as the Internet, has been one of the platforms through which terrorist groups and organizations have managed to disseminate their radical ideology and misinformation in order to recruit fighters, in addition to generating economic resources through smuggling and the illegal sale of cultural and historical objects, among others, the profits of which are legitimized through money- laundering and the use of tax havens, which reduce or eliminate controls, especially in the investment and service sectors.”

“That terrible situation was made possible by vacuums in Governments, the weakening of law and order and of security forces, and the absence of border controls, which were fostered to a large extent by the implementation of regime-change policies, interventionism and interference in the internal affairs of other States. More than three years following the unanimous approval of resolution 2178 (2014), which proposes parameters to confront the problem of foreign terrorist fighters, we must question what progress and results have been attained in tackling that problem.”

“That phenomenon proves that terrorism and violent extremism are not tied to any specific nationality, religion, civilization or ethnic group, and that any measures intended to confront or prevent that phenomenon should not be based on such criteria under any pretext. On that understanding and in the face of such a serious transnational threat, we believe that the response of the international community must be global and must make effective use of all of the means provided for by the Charter of the United Nations. It is important to make it very clear that foreign terrorist fighters did not emerge suddenly. Rather, they are the product of a process of ideological radicalization, and once on the ground, of military training.”

“The threat of terrorism and violent extremism constitutes one of the greatest challenges facing the international community, particularly because terrorist groups and organizations have developed capacities for long-distance recruitment through various methods and narratives. In that context, the emergence of foreign terrorist fighters has taken on particular significance, given that those individuals travel to a State different from their country of residence or nationality with the purpose of committing, planning, preparing or participating in terrorist acts and providing or receiving training to commit such acts, including by taking part in various internal conflicts.”

“Mr. Inchauste Jordan (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): Bolivia is grateful for the briefings presented today by the Under-Secretary- General for the Office of Counter-Terrorism, Mr. Vladimir Voronkov, and the Executive Director of the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, Ms. Michele Coninsx. We are also grateful for the activity report presented by the representative of Kazakhstan, Ambassador Kairat Umarov, in his capacity as Chair of the Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015) concerning Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Da'esh), Al-Qaida and associated individuals, groups, undertakings and entities. The scenarios in which terrorism operates today have surpassed local and regional dimensions to become a global problem.”

We call on the international community to heed the concerns of all the parties concerned by taking a neutral, fair approach with a View to leaving the divisions of the past behind.”

“We appeal to all those leaders to deal with these challenges in a spirit of consensus and in an atmosphere of inclusion in which all Bosnian political parties are full participants, in line with the Dayton Peace Agreement, which remains the legal basis and benchmark for stability and the peaceful resolution of disputes between the parties in their quest for lasting peace. In that regard, we should emphasize the importance of ensuring that all the parties respect Bosnia and Herzegovina's sovereignty, territorial integrity and Constitution, as well as the decisions handed down by its judiciary with regard to the rule of law. We also urge political leaders and all parties to refrain from engaging in divisive nationalist rhetoric.”

“While we also welcome the progress that Bosnia and Herzegovina has made with economic development, we are concerned about the continuing challenges on the political front, which represent a major threat to Bosnia and Herzegovina's territorial integrity and sovereignty whose repercussions could put not just the country but the entire region of the Balkans at risk. In that regard, we encourage all the country's political leaders to put the interests of the Bosnian people before their own ethnic political concerns.”

Those efforts are a testimony to the commitment of the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to continuing to undertake the reforms needed to foster stability and contribute to initiatives aimed at achieving the development and stability the country wants. In that regard, we urge the authorities to focus on those aspects and to intensify their efforts to implement the 5+2 agenda, which is a prerequisite for the closure of the Office of the High Representative.”

The Council's support for the extension of the European Union-led peacekeeping force Althea operation shows its willingness to defend security and stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina and respect its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, as well as its support for the Dayton Agreement. We hope that Althea will continue to cooperate closely with Bosnia and Herzegovina and to play a constructive role in maintaining peace and stability in the country within the framework of its mandate.”

“We must strengthen our efforts to incorporate a gender perspective into the United Nations police, thereby affirming, ensuring and encouraging women's equitable participation both in peacekeeping operations, in accordance with resolution 2242 (2015), and in peace processes, by playing an active role in prevention, mediation and dialogue, with the aim of arriving at solutions that reflect equality and contribute to post-conflict reconstruction. In that regard, I would like to ask the Commissioners what efforts and actions are being undertaken to improve women's participation in force components, in particular MINUJUSTH, which consists only of a police component. We also reaffirm our full support to the Secretary-General's zero-tolerance policy on sexual abuse by members of peacekeeping missions.”

“In that regard, as a Latin American country, we think it is important to highlight the Haitian National Police's development plan for 2012 to 2016, which was implemented by the police component of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). This plan focused on improving the capacity and operational readiness of the Haitian National Police in the areas of crime prevention and response and activities related to law enforcement, which not only helped to maintain stability during the 2016 elections, but also made a valuable contribution to the process of closing MINUSTAH and transitioning it to MINUJUSTH.”

“The best way to manage resources, human, financial or material, is to focus on improving assessment and planning capacities and enhancing the ability to provide timely information, full communication and leadership, thereby effectively strengthening and operationalizing the work of the Police Division and the Strategic Force Generation and Capability Planning Cell of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations. In the context of peacebuilding, it is also crucial to ensure that the work of the United Nations police is strengthened in terms of the transition and transfer of full responsibility to host States' police forces as well as in relation to missions' exit strategies.”

“Bolivia believes that the multidimensional nature of missions requires United Nations police officers to cooperate closely in all areas of conflict and at all levels, including through interaction at the local level with military, political, humanitarian and human rights sectors and other civilian components, but above all by working closely with the host State in strict respect of the principles of sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. We welcome the Organization's efforts to ensure that countries contributing police contingents meet the required standards. However, challenges remain in the areas of deployment and capacity-building as well as specific tasks. We are confident that such difficulties can be overcome by improving performance management on the ground for police and civilian components as well as military ones.”

“On the other hand, as stated by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations in its Guidelines on Police Operations, the United Nations police can engage in a wide range of activities, including, inter alia, advice, reform, restructuring and strengthening of police institutions, training and instruction, assistance in electoral processes, disarmament and demobilization, community-based policing, patrol border management, public information and education.”

“In this sense, exactly one year ago we received the report of the Secretary- General on United Nations policing (S/2016/952) containing 14 recommendations on police work. Within the framework of resolution 2185 (2014), it is clear that police forces for international peace and security are of increasing importance. The Secretary-General's approach allows us to identify different priorities and measures to strengthen the work of police contingents deployed to the various peacekeeping missions in order to create a coherent and adaptable system that is capable of dealing with emerging conflict and post-conflict situations, in addition to contributing to planning transition processes and the development of integrated approaches to the rule of law in countries where they carry out their activities.”

“The roles of the United Nations police in the areas of protection through dialogue and commitment and protection through the creation of a secure environment are well-established in practice and involve advice, building the capacities of and strengthening the local police, and access to justice and Government institutions. However, there is still a lack of clarity regarding the role of the United Nations police with respect to the physical protection of civilians. The United Nations defines police work as a support function of Government, responsible for the prevention, detection, and investigation of crimes, the protection of persons and property, and the maintenance of public order and security.”

In most cases, the term "United Nations peacekeeping forces" is synonymous with military troops. Nevertheless, police components also play a key role in the maintenance of security at three levels in particular: protection through dialogue and commitment, protection against physical violence and protection through the creation of a secure environment.”

“In conclusion, we echo the observations and recommendations of the Secretary-General, first, with regard to the strengthening of the capabilities of MINUSCA, and to provide it greater flexibility and enable it to better deploy in the areas of greatest risk. However, and as mentioned by the Secretary-General, the Mission will not restore peace alone; the people of the Central African Republic themselves have the primary responsibility for bringing peace and stability to the country. The full and committed support of the international community, the United Nations and regional organizations must assist the people of Central Africa to establish peace and security.”

“Furthermore, violations of international humanitarian law further aggravate the situation of hundreds of victims; men, women and children who are subjected to sexual violence, trafficking in persons and other crimes. We believe it is crucial to at last operationalize the Special Criminal Court. We encourage MINUSCA and the United Nations Development Programme to continue efforts to that end with a view to combaingt impunity and prosecuting those responsible for war crimes. With that in mind, Bolivia once again calls on all the armed groups to lay down their arms, set aside sectarian interests that prevent fruitful dialogue and achieve agreement to benefit of the civilian population and stabilize the country and submit to demobilization, disarmament and reintegration.”

“According to data from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the report of the Secretary-General (S/2017/865), during the reporting period approximately 50 per cent of the population depended upon external support to survive, 2.4 million Central Africans required urgent humanitarian assistance, and there had been 600,000 new internally displaced persons, totalling 1.1 million people since 2016; in other words, one in five people suffer the effects of forced displacement. Five hundred tousand refugees live in neighbouring countries, such as Cameroon, Chad, the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

“The situation of insecurity, asymmetrical attacks and ongoing intercommunal clashes severely impact the civilian population, in particular those who are most vulnerable, including boys and girls. It is also further eroding the humanitarian situation. In that regard, Bolivia condemns the constant attacks perpetrated by armed groups against civilians and the personnel of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA). We value and commend the members of the Mission-military, police and civilianpersonnel - who carry out their work in a volatile and extremely high- risk environment.”
