  1. “The Council must be effective, fair and just in resolving conflicts in accordance with international law, and that will occur when the Council is reformed comprehensively, becoming democratic, accountable and representative of the plurality and realities of the world today. For its part, Indonesia stands ready to contribute to efforts to achieve a comprehensive Security Council reform.”

  2. “Consistent with Article 11 of the Charter, the Council should take into account the recommendations from the Assembly on matters pertaining to international peace and security. In that respect, the Council must not shy away from discussing non-traditional issues that, in today's reality, have proven to have direct and significant linkages to international peace and security, including the issue of development. Suffice it to say that peace and security could not withstand the test of time if development were neglected. To keep myself within the time limit and the spirit of the concept note (S/2016/585, annex), I would like to conclude by underlining that, as important as the need to improve the Council's working methods and procedures is, better procedures alone are not the solution.”

  3. “Following the adoption of resolution 2282 (2016) on the review of the United Nations peacebuilding architecture, my delegation also looks forward to a close and robust partnership of the Council with the Peacebuilding Commission and other relevant United Nations and non-United Nations partners. Thirdly, Articles 31 and 32 of the Charter of the United Nations should be fully implemented by taking into consideration the views of the affected non-member countries. Their perspectives, along with those of regional organizations, can be invaluable in building workable approaches to resolving root causes and advancing reconciliation. Fourthly, there should be balanced, harmonious and collaborative relations between the Security Council and the General Assembly.”

  4. “Secondly, as world conflicts become more complex, the Council must ensure that all stakeholders concerned with United Nations special political missions and peacekeeping operations are consulted properly and that their strengths are harnessed. The recent reviews of United Nations peace operations, peacebuilding and resolution 1325 (2000) have underscored the primacy of prevention, politics, dialogue and regional partnerships. Fundamental to enabling sustainable peace and realizing the aims of these reviews is the Council's deeper and meaningful interaction with relevant stakeholders, including troop- and police- contributing countries. A shared understanding, cooperation and collaboration among them throughout all phases of peace operations are critical.”

  5. “Yet there remains a significant gap between the expectations of the global citizenry, which has entrusted the Council to act on its behalf, and the Council's functioning. First and foremost in that regard is the exercise of the veto or the threat to exercise the veto, which has obstructed necessary action by the Council in the face of mass atrocities and severe violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law on too many occasions. The examples of Palestine and Syria are two such cases. While Indonesia calls for the abolishment of the right of the veto in the Council, in view of the present entrenched realities, it would support steps that would regulate the use of the veto responsibly. The Council should work out a workable mechanism in that respect.”

  6. “In that regard, Indonesia welcomes the positive actions taken by the Council over the years, such as more open debates, more consultations with the Presidents of the principal organs and sub-organs and also with troop- and police-contributing countries, as well as including voices from multilateral and regional institutions, civil society, non-governmental organizations and the private sector to enrich the discourse. Flowing from General Assembly resolution 69/321, the joint initiative of the Presidents of the Security Council and General Assembly to make the process for the selection of the next Secretary-General open and consultative is also a milestone step. Furthermore, the fact that elections for non-permanent Council members were held six months in advance was another positive development.”

  7. “We thank you, Sir, for convening this important open debate. We would like to associate ourselves with the statement delivered by the representative of Iran on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries. Since at any given time 178 Member countries of the United Nations are not in the Security Council, it is crucial that the Council function in a manner that makes it transparent, effective and accountable vis-a-vis all United Nations Members.”

  8. “We believe that the unique potential and capabilities of regional organizations in regional confidence-building and preventive diplomacy should be further utilized to establish lasting peace and security.”

  9. “My delegation also encourages the enhancement of regular discussions between the Secretariat and regional organizations in order to better identify and understand the needs of both entities in ensuring effective joint responses to security challenges. There is no doubt that the increase in the number of United Nations peacekeeping operations and the growing role played by regional organizations make it particularly necessary for the United Nations to step up its efforts and measures in creating mechanisms for effective cooperation with such organizations. To conclude, Indonesia wishes to reiterate its support for the enhancement of cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations.”

  10. “We also highlight the need to enhance the United Nations-AU predeployment joint planning and joint mission assessment processes to promote common understanding and increase effectiveness of United Nations peacekeeping operations. We also agree that there is a need to enhance the predictability, sustainability and flexibility of financing regional organizations, including the African Union, when they undertake peacekeeping under a Security Council mandate. In order to guarantee closer collaboration between the United Nations and regional organizations, it is pertinent to ensure that there not only is a legal foundation for such cooperation, but also mutual trust and confidence, which can be built and sustained through regular dialogues as well as comprehensive sharing and exchange of knowledge and expertise.”

  11. “That is also the case with respect to cooperation between the United Nations and the AU in the context of peacekeeping operations and political missions. We therefore welcome the adoption today of presidential statement S/PRST/2014/27, which reiterates, inter alia, the importance of establishing a more effective relationship between the Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council, as well as formulating cohesive positions and strategies in dealing with conflict situations in Africa. Indonesia agrees with the Council's emphasis on encouraging the United Nations and the African Union to take concrete steps to strengthen their relationships and develop a more effective partnership.”

  12. “Indonesia supports the enhancement of cooperation and partnership between the United Nations and the African Union, in whose region most of the conflicts have occurred. We are encouraged by the fact that various important initiatives and activities have been developed between the United Nations and the AU. Moreover, the deepening of United Nations-African Union partnerships has also been intensely increased in the field of peacekeeping operations and special political missions. We agree, however, that this partnership continues to be challenged by several elements, as stated in the concept note for today's meeting (S/2014/879, annex). It is our view that cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations will be viable and sustained when it is developed on the basis of equal partnership.”

  13. “That presidential statement clearly stated, inter alia, the importance of promoting the identification and further development of modalities that enhance the contribution of regional and subregional organizations to the work of the Council in maintaining international peace and security, in accordance with Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter. It further stressed the need to strengthen the interaction between the Security Council and regional organizations. Cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations, particularly between the United Nations and the African Union, is a major multilateral commitment that we must all continue to encourage, support and contribute to.”

  14. “As a founding member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Indonesia has historically and vigorously promoted the significant role of regional and subregional organizations, as they can fundamentally generate security and prosperity in their respective regions. Indonesia has also strongly promoted interregional activities between Southeast Asia and other regions. In that spirit, during Indonesia's presidency of the Council in November 2007, we initiated an open debate on this particular agenda item, resulting in a presidential statement (S/PRST/2007/42).”

  15. “Indonesia associates itself with the statement made by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. The contributions of regional and subregional organizations to the maintenance of international peace and security, particularly in promoting dialogue and confidence-building, conflict prevention, peacebuilding and peacekeeping, cannot be overemphasized. Indeed, it has been established that regional organizations, on account of their knowledge of their regions, are well positioned to understand the root causes of many conflicts closer to home and therefore to influence their prevention or resolution.”

  16. “To begin with, my delegation wishes to extend its heartfelt condolences to Pakistan for the deaths of over 100 innocent people as a result of the terror attack that took place today in Peshawar. We join previous speakers in expressing our fullest sympathy for the Victims and their bereaved families and relatives. Mr. President, we would like to express our appreciation to you for organizing this debate on the cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations, in particular the African Union (AU), in the maintenance of international peace and security. My delegation also thanks the Secretary- General and the African Union High Representative for Mali and the Sahel for their respective briefings.”
