“Kazakhstan was also among the first countries to carry out the Zhusan and Rusafa humanitarian operations to repatriate, rehabilitate and reintegrate its citizens, mainly women and children, who had fled to Syria and Iraq. That serves as a good model for other countries, and we are ready to share our experiences and lessons learned with the international community. Kazakhstan will continue to support the women and peace and security agenda and the multilateral efforts aimed at achieving gender equality, peaceful societies and inclusive governance.”

“During the turmoil in Kabul, my Government issued visas and provided safe passage through our territory for 99 Afghan women judges and their families. It is evident that lack of access to a quality and inclusive education, especially in rural areas, remains the main obstacle to achieving women’s empowerment. Therefore, my country, together with the European Union and United Nations Development Programme, is implementing the second phase of its programme to educate Afghan young people — including girls — in its universities. We encourage donor countries to allocate a greater number of scholarships for women and girls from conflict-affected countries.”

“In that context, Kazakhstan, with United Nations support, has created the Act for Equal platform to develop effective ways to fully realize the peacemaking potential of women throughout Central Asia and Afghanistan. We have also contributed financially to the joint United Nations-European Union Spotlight Initiative, a regional programme for Central Asia and Afghanistan, and joined the multi-stakeholder Compact on Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action, launched at the Generation Equality Forum in July 2021. At the regional level, our country is focusing on Afghanistan with a multidimensional approach to conflict prevention and resolution, recovery, reintegration and humanitarian assistance.”

“We expect that the adoption of a national action plan will increase their number, and not only improve gender-sensitive trainings for the armed and security forces, which we conduct, but attract more women in that respect. We also believe that a national action plan will contribute to expanding women’s engagement in decision-making at all levels. We have strong and sustained political will, all the necessary resources and a results-based monitoring and evaluation plan to achieve those goals. National efforts must be reinforced by commitments at the regional level, with strengthened cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations.”

“We have reduced our gender inequality index by 60 per cent, introduced a 30 per cent quota for women and youth in Parliament and local representative bodies and increased the proportion of women managers in State-owned corporations to the same level — 30 per cent. In December 2021, our country adopted its first national action plan for the period from 2022 to 2025 on resolution 1325 (2000), which is a whole-of-Government strategy developed in inclusive consultations with relevant United Nations agencies and civil society organizations. Kazakhstan has been deploying women to several United Nations peacekeeping operations.”

“As noted in the most recent annual report of the Secretary-General on women and peace and security (S/2022/740), many regions of the world are experiencing a reversal of generational gains in women’s rights. Gender perspectives remain at the margins of conflict prevention. In order to bridge the gap between our commitments and actual action, we believe that every Member State and region needs to fully integrate a robust normative framework of the women and peace and security agenda with its four pillars — participation, protection, prevention and relief and recovery — in their programmes and policies. Since its independence, Kazakhstan has been consistently working to ensure the highest standards in framing gender policy. We have achieved significant progress in addressing gender issues on several fronts.”

“We commend the presidency of Mozambique for convening this ministerial open debate and thank all the briefers for their in-depth and insightful remarks. In October 2000, I was in this Chamber at a Security Council meeting (see S/PV.4213), when resolution 1325 (2000) was adopted. At that time, I was the Permanent Representative of Kazakhstan to the United Nations. I would say that, since its adoption, much progress has been made to achieve the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in peace processes, but we still have a long way to go before we fully implement the women and peace and security mandate. The expectations of those who were in this Chamber in 2000 have not been realized.”

“To that end, I commend the Government of Belarus for promoting its vital role, and I look forward to the OSCE Ministerial Council this December, where we will jointly discuss ICAT's achievements. I agree that human trafficking survivors should guide our responses and actions. We cannot turn our backs on the immense injustice and denial of dignity that they face. As such, a human rights-centred approach must remain the overarching principle underpinning all our efforts. Too many human traffickers act with impunity, as low global conviction rates sadly demonstrate. It is high time that they were forced to think twice before acting.”

“Finally, given that children and unaccompanied minors are particularly vulnerable to violence and exploitation, we made a pledge to help enhance the coherence of international efforts and develop more integrated, effective and expert recommendations to adequately respond to child trafficking in all its forms, in line with the findings of our seventeenth high-level Conference of the Alliance against Trafficking in Persons, which took place last April. I will conclude with a word on the Inter-Agency Coordination Group against Trafficking in Persons (ICAT). As a platform to promote synergies and advance the global anti-trafficking agenda, I could not be more proud that the OSCE is its first partner member. I call upon Member States, however, to secure the necessary funds and resources to capitalize on its demonstrated potential.”

“We also dwelled on what is often a sophisticated system of recruitment, along with a number of worrying trends, including the steadily increasing numbers of recruits - girls and young women - who join terrorist organizations to serve as wives, the appearance ofmixed forms of exploitation within terrorist organizations and the engagement of young male and female high-school graduates for various exploitative purposes. That information led to the research project that we launched in June 2017 to better understand the links between recruitment, exploitation patterns of traffickers and terrorist groups. With the overall aim of preventing that new emerging form of human trafficking, that research will detail and discuss real cases of deceitful and forced recruitment for sexual and labour exploitation.”

“Such practical initiatives are not only necessary to foster better synergies; they are critical if we are to achieve long-lasting, concrete results. In terms of the latter, I am pleased with the response of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission in Ukraine to the training offered by myself and my staff on how to monitor and report trafficking-related trends in the context of a conflict situation. I applaud the efforts of UNODC to develop guidelines on trafficking in persons in conflict and post-conflict situations, and we stand ready to support its regional implementation and evaluation.”

“We already have plans to translate the material from the simulation exercises - up until now conducted only in English - into Italian, as we are organizing simulation exercises for Italian professionals in Vicenza at the end of January. We are then planning to translate it into Russian so as to engage more professionals from OSCE participating States. I am glad that my country, Kazakhstan, has offered its regional hub on transnational threats to security as a venue for exercises potentially to take place in September. We are also translating the material into French to not only engage OSCE representatives, but also to train representatives from our partner countries from which large migratory flows arrive on the European continent.”

“It thus gives me great pride that my Office so far trained 200 law enforcement officials, prosecutors, labour inspectors, financial investigators and civil society representatives from 40 countries in an intensive, innovative simulation exercise to combat trafficking along migration routes. That endeavour would not have been possible without the engagement and active cooperation of the United Nations family: the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organization for Migration, EUROPOL and INTERPOL. Our aim is for that format to become a role model of international cooperation at its best.”

“We are more convinced than ever that the establishment of a multi-agency co-ordination mechanism would ensure sufficient expertise to identify vulnerabilities, facilitate information-sharing on presumed victims of trafficking throughout their journey and guarantee the sustainability of assistance efforts. I commend the Governments of Italy and Greece for their enormous efforts to date and for their readiness to promote more-elaborated anti-trafficking responses. Yet, we shall not limit our action to the development of policy and legislative frameworks. We need all hands on deck to deliver tangible responses.”

“It should be an approach where inclusion, collaboration and sharing of best practices become watchwords in our combined endeavours to ensure more effective investigations, timely prosecutions and prompt identification of victims, especially in countries of destination for victims of trafficking. Drawing upon almost two years of fact-finding missions in countries most impacted by large migratory flows, my team and I are finalizing a report framing the challenges and opportunities of anti-trafficking responses at first-identification and reception facilities for migrants and refugees in the OSCE region.”

“It became sadly clear how important it is for the international community to act unanimously on preventing, protecting from and prosecuting human trafficking stemming from conflict around the globe. I will not elaborate further on those loathsome practices, or indeed on how conflict is both the cause and consequence of heightened vulnerability for millions around the world. Rather, I would like to focus on two points. First, how do we make sure we effectively remedy the risks of trafficking stemming from conflict? How can we foster better synergies to achieve long-lasting results? Secondly, it is imperative that we now adopt a multidisciplinary, cross-sectoral and transnational approach and that we implement it unconditionally.”

“Ms. Jarbussynova: I wish to commend the Italian presidency of the Security Council and the speakers who took the floor for keeping all of us focused on this often hidden yet unquestionably despicable offence against human dignity. I also thank the Italian presidency for inviting me to take the floor today. As the world's largest regional security organization under Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) wholeheartedly takes part in fighting human trafficking. In that regard, I echo our strong support to the Secretary General and the whole United Nations system in implementing concrete steps to strengthen the international response to counter the crime in all its forms, wherever it occurs.”

“Given that almost one in five trafficking victims across the OSCE region is a child, the aim of the two-day conference is to enhance the coherence of international efforts and to develop more integrated, effective and expert recommendations to adequately respond to child trafficking in a manner that respects human rights. We owe that to children, but also to men and women everywhere, regardless of age, status, origin or, indeed, whether they are fleeing crisis or not. Despite the scale and breadth of the challenges that we face, I am convinced that close cooperation with international and local partners will allow us to make a significant contribution to highlighting and mitigating the scourge of human trafficking.”

“We also recognize that it is important to take advantage of the collective purchasing power of Governments to eliminate the market for goods and services produced by trafficking labour. The second of our flagship projects in that regard seeks to prevent trafficking in human beings in supply chains through Government procurement and measures. To that end, I commend the Government of the United Kingdom for supporting our efforts in encouraging consumers, campaigners and investors to scrutinize businesses so as to end modern-day slavery. Finally, given that children and unaccompanied minors are particularly vulnerable to violence and exploitation, next month's seventeenth high-level Conference of the Alliance against Trafficking in Persons, to be held in Vienna, will focus on child trafficking.”

“Such action is imperative given that, despite the seriousness of those crimes, human trafficking in the context of crisis- driven situations continues to go largely unnoticed by both governmental and non-governmental actors. I sincerely hope that we at the OSCE can capitalize on those achievements in the upcoming regional consultations for a global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration, thereby ensuring a human rights- centred approach. Further guiding our work is the conviction that it is important to investigate the link between terrorism and trafficking. To that end, we are supporting a group of experts who are addressing that issue with a special focus on youth trafficked for terrorism.”

“It therefore gives me great pride to have piloted the OSCE project entitled Combating Human Trafficking along Migration Routes, in which we are training law-enforcement officials, prosecutors, labour inspectors, financial investigators and civil society representatives in an intensive simulation exercise. In that endeavour, I am extremely proud of our efficient cooperation with the United Nations family, the Office ofthe United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the International Organization for Migration, as well as the European Police Office and INTERPOL. Likewise, I remain committed to imparting best practices to the staff of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission in Ukraine on how to monitor and report trafficking-related trends in the context of a conflict situation.”

“In the spirit in which Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations was forged, it is imperative that diverse actors and first responders engage in multidisciplinary, cross- sectoral and transnational efforts, wherein inclusion, collaboration and the sharing of best practices become watchwords in our combined endeavours towards ensuring more effective investigations, timely prosecutions and the prompt identification of victims. Given the leverage of the OSCE and its multidimensional approach, my team and I have striven, since the onset of both the migration crisis and, indeed, the deterioration of the situation in Ukraine, to counter the accompanying exploitation of human life by traffickers.”

“Of the more than 1 million irregular migrants who surged into Europe in 2015, more than 90 per cent used services provided by 40,000 individuals operating in loose criminal networks and who continue to often exploit irregular migrants after arrival. Since 2014, more than 1.7 million internally displaced persons in Ukraine have been forced to leave their homes. How can we counteract that and meaningfully address the magnitude of those transnational challenges? How can we remedy the fact that, all too often, criminal networks flourish, perpetrators go unpunished, the level of convictions remains low worldwide and victims fail to be compensated for their material and moral damages? I believe that national efforts, however effective, cannot fully tackle the complexity of this crime.”

“In 2016, my Office compiled a survey of selected aspects of the OSCE action plan against trafficking in persons, so as to better understand developments and challenges in their implementation. Although the data show some progress across the areas of prevention, prosecution and protection, they also reveal that considerable work remains to be done. That becomes all the more urgent if one considers the latest trends in the trafficking in human beings. As immigration policies tighten, migration routes become longer and more hazardous. People on the move, especially women and children, are particularly at risk of falling into the hands of human traffickers. Very often what begins as a humanitarian crisis swiftly grows into a security crisis. The task facing us is formidable.”

“Ms. Jarbussynova: I wish to express my deep gratitude to the United Kingdom's presidency of the Security Council for convening this timely high- level debate. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), as a comprehensive Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian regional organization, sets the promotion and protection of human rights at the core of any viable security strategy. The OSCE pays considerable attention to the perilous links between crisis situations and the risks of trafficking. I wish, therefore, to concentrate today on the nexus between emergencies and human exploitation in the OSCE region and on much needed risk-mitigation and counter-trafficking programmes.”

“The participants in the process will unite their efforts so as not to allow terrorism in any form to be organized, assisted or financed from the territory of any State, nor to allow terrorists to be provided safe haven. In conclusion, I should like to refer to the statement of the Secretary-General before the Security Council meeting held on the first anniversary of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States: "The past year has also given us hope that terrorism can be defeated if the international community summons the will to unite in a broad coalition.”

“In June this year, the first summit meeting of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA) was convened in Almaty. The adoption at the summit meeting of the final documents, of the Almaty Act and of the CICA Declaration on Eliminating Terrorism has had extraordinary significance. The documents unconditionally and unequivocally condemn terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, as well as any support for or acquiescence to it and the failure to directly condemn it. They declare the determination of CICA member States to cooperate on a bilateral and a multilateral basis to combat terrorism, including its possible sources.”

“In addition, Kazakhstan has concluded bilateral cooperation agreements with numerous countries on combating terrorism and international organized crime, and now it is cooperating actively with other States in the prevention, identification and suppression of acts definable as terrorist acts, by exchanging information and by taking steps to combat the financing of terrorism and the supplying of weapons and ammunition to terrorists. Kazakhstan is reconsidering the international instruments on terrorism with a view to becoming a party to them. On 2 October this year, Kazakhstan ratified the 1999 International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism. Now we are in the process of ratifying the 1997 International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings.”

“We shall continue to cooperate with the CTC, and we expect from the Committee more practical results with regard to eliminating the breeding ground for new terrorist attacks. That breeding ground, we believe, still exists in Afghanistan, and it threatens international peace and security. Resolution 1373 (2001) has set out a road map for eliminating terrorism, and therefore it is important that the CTC strengthen its efforts in the search for those who provide financing and specialized technical support for terrorists. The United Nations has the significant task of monitoring the resolution's implementation through the work of the Counter- Terrorism Committee. Kazakhstan has always spoken out against terrorism, and it has been actively engaged in developing a system for countering terrorism at the regional and international levels.”

Our thanks go also to the independent experts for their dedicated work. The fruitful activities of the CTC and of Member States aimed at implementing resolution 1373 (2001) have led to the elimination of numerous terrorist cells and of the channels of their financial support. According to information provided by the CTC, more than 172 national reports were received in the first round of reporting and 83 reports have been received in the second round. My Government, fully committed to implementing resolution 1373 (2001), has submitted two reports to the Committee thus far and has engaged in dialogue with the CTC on issues related to that resolution.”

“At the outset, I should like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this meeting, which gives us an opportunity to share our views on a subject of the utmost importance. The fight against international terrorism has become a matter of the highest priority since 11 September 2001. The immediate reaction of the General Assembly and of the Security Council in the days that followed the terrorist attacks confirmed the Organization's strong determination to put its legitimacy behind effective international action. The Security Council adopted resolution 1373 (2001), which tackled terrorism in an unprecedented manner and upgraded the capability of the international community to face a new global threat. Since then, the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) has stood at the forefront of the fight against terrorism.”

“In order for these very important measures to be implemented in Afghanistan, we need further effective international support to ensure the proper conditions for future Afghan military forces. From the very outset, the Government of Kazakhstan supported the appointment of Mr. Brahimi as Special Representative of the Secretary-General in the region. In our view, the format proposed for the United Nations presence in Afghanistan - the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, headed by Lakhdar Brahimi - will promote the successful conclusion of the peace process. We believe that the components that have been proposed will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the comprehensive rehabilitation of Afghan society.

“We agree with the Secretary-General about the need to extend the presence of the International Security Assistance Force, which is currently in Kabul, to other major cities, since the main threat to the Interim Administration is from the provinces, and there is a real possibility that, as the convening of a Loya Jirga approaches, that threat will increase. Furthermore, the multinational forces are a temporary element. In connection with the Bonn Agreement, responsibility for ensuring security lies with the Afghan people themselves. In this context, we are encouraged by steps undertaken by the United States, Germany and other participants in the anti- terrorist coalition to establish a combat-ready national army and police force in Afghanistan for the maintenance of law and order.”

A national seminar in Kabul on human rights is an important step in the achievement of the provisions of the Bonn Agreement, which pertains to human rights. At the same time, we note the continuing problem of ensuring security in the region. On the whole, the lack of security is leading to understandable concern on the part of the population of Afghanistan. Beyond Kabul, there is inter-ethnic conflict, skirmishes are taking place between political groups that are trying to establish their own influence, crime is persisting and the remaining Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters are destabilizing the already fragile peace in the region. All of these factors show that there is a need for responsible measures to maintain the peace process.”

Under his leadership, and in close cooperation with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Brahimi, a rehabilitation process in post-conflict Afghanistan is under way. In Afghan society, there are positive changes taking place. There has been a successful conclusion of the campaign to return Afghan children to school. On 23 March, the new school year saw 1.5 million girls and boys sitting at their school desks. A Special Independent Commission for the Emergency Loya Jirga has done significant work, working out rules and procedures that pertain to the holding of a pan-national conference of elders.”

We support the major observations and conclusions of the report, and we share the Secretary- General's optimism with regard to the fact that, in spite of the destruction of infrastructure and the great loss of life resulting from decades of war, Afghans representing all strata of society are prepared to take upon themselves the responsibility for the restoration of their long-suffering country.”

He shares the view expressed by the Secretary-General that the Security Council should adopt comprehensive measures in the political, military, humanitarian and human rights arenas, the outlines of which were recommended today by Ambassador Brahimi, and which are based on a careful diagnosis of the current situation. It is imperative that, after the victory over terrorism, we establish a representative and multi- ethnic Government and make preparations for the elections in Afghanistan. The next stage should be the rehabilitation and construction process. We believe that one of the keys to stabilizing the situation in Afghanistan lies in the economic development of the country.”

We must help the Afghan people solve their internal problems and build a government capable of maintaining stability and peaceful coexistence with the neighbouring States. We believe that, in order to find a solution to the Afghan conflict, the principle of sovereignty and territorial integrity should be observed. Non- interference from external forces is one of the conditions for ensuring that the country can return to a state of normalcy. My Government believes that the vital role of resolving the conflict in Afghanistan should be played by the United Nations and the Security Council. The President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Mr.”

“We note with great satisfaction that this issue was raised by Ambassador Lakhdar Brahimi during his recent consultations with the interested countries. In this respect, we welcome the decision of the Secretary-General to reappoint Ambassador Brahimi, a well-known political figure and highly skilled diplomat, as his Special Representative in this complicated region. My Government is ready to cooperate with him in fulfilling the important tasks ahead. The situation in Afghanistan is changing rapidly but nevertheless remains complicated, seriously threatening international peace and security. It is necessary to ensure that the coalition's operations remain limited in scope and duration in order to minimize casualties among innocent civilians. The people of Afghanistan are extremely exhausted after more than 20 years of intense conflict.”

“At the outset, I wish to thank the Secretary-General for his statement and also to thank his Special Representative, Mr. Brahimi, for his briefing. The refusal of the Taliban movement to fulfil the conditions of the anti-terrorist coalition has brought new suffering to the Afghan people. Hundreds of thousands have left their homes and joined the millions who have crossed the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan and are in camps with insufficient shelter and inadequate food. With winter approaching and night-time temperatures below zero, the humanitarian situation is critical, taking into account the recent drought that afflicted Afghanistan. To manage the current humanitarian crisis, the international community should intensify its efforts to launch more coordinated humanitarian relief programmes.”

We appeal to all Member States to continue to render their support to Tajikistan in its reconstruction in the social and economic spheres and in building a stable and prosperous society.

“The delegation of Kazakhstan is confident that the efforts to strengthen security undertaken by the countries of the region in various formats - including the Conference for Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia, the "Shanghai Five" and the agreement on joint action against terrorism, political and religious extremism, transnational organized crime and other threats to stability and security, signed in Tashkent this April by the four Central Asian leaders - will promote security and curb the escalation of tension. Tajikistan is entering a new phase of nation-building. In order to build on the success achieved during the peace process in Tajikistan, the United Nations and the international community have to provide further assistance to the country.”

“One ought to pay tribute to the staff of the United Nations Mission of Observers in Tajikistan (UNMOT), who, in difficult situations and sometimes sacrificing their lives, ensured the success of the Mission. A significant contribution to and support for the peace process were offered by the Contact Group of Guarantor States and International Organizations and the collective peacekeeping and border forces of the Commonwealth of Independent States. Stability in Tajikistan is of great importance not only to the Tajik people, but also to the peoples of the whole region. As a member of the Contact Group, Kazakhstan has made every effort to promote a peaceful settlement in Tajikistan. The border force unit of Kazakhstan has been guarding the frontiers of the Commonwealth in Tajikistan.”

“We share the views, expressed by Member States during the meeting of the Security Council in March, that the elections played a significant role in advancing the democratic development of Tajikistan and building a civil society in that country. In our View, the newly elected bicameral Parliament, which has already convened its first session, will be one of the main instruments in moving the country forward towards progress, democracy and prosperity. The report of the Secretary-General presents a bright and impressive picture of the important developments which preceded the establishment of peace in Tajikistan, emphasizing efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement and to solve existing problems through the political dialogue established with the help from the States of the region.”

“We agree with one of the main conclusions of the report that the early engagement of the United Nations in the conflict; sustained political support of the Security Council and interested Member States in the region; cooperation with other international organizations, including the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe; and the clear will of the people and the President of Tajikistan have put an end to hostilities and brought about the political solution of this crisis. The recent elections to Parliament, held for the first time in Tajikistan on a multi-party basis, with the participation of a greater number of citizens and a pluralistic character, testified to the consolidation of Tajik society.”
