  1. “I should perhaps note that for the first time that I can remember, there is a majority of women representing delegations in the Security Council. For a fleeting moment, there were nine representatives. I was wondering whether anybody would quickly put forward a resolution. The next speaker on my list is the representative of Japan. I invite him to take a seat at the Council table and to make his statement.”

  15. “On behalf of the Council, I should like to pay tribute to Ms. King and her whole team in the Division for the Advancement of Women for the work they are doing. We have already seen from the first two interventions how various parts of the Secretariat are interacting with one another on this issue and are beginning to focus in on the same points. I very much hope that Council members will take up the points that Ms. King has made and that they will use this opportunity to make their comments on where we have gotten thus far in order to provide some input into the Secretary-General's report, which is still under preparation. It is an important point for an interactive debate. I now call on the Executive Director of the United Nations Development Fund for Women, Ms. Noeleen Heyzer.”

  18. “I shall also like to inform members that in my capacity as Council President I held a meeting earlier this week with representatives of the non-governmental organizations (NGO) Working Group on Women, Peace and Security, at which I invited them to raise issues of importance to their organizations that are relevant to today's discussion. I can say that that exchange that I had with that working group was very informative. These groups have done an enormous amount of work on the mainstreaming agenda, on the issue of women and families in areas of conflict. We circulated a short note outlining the main points raised at that meeting, and there is also literature from some of these NGOs available for Member States on the table immediately outside this room.”

I shall also invite our panel to respond to points raised at appropriate moments throughout the debate. I shall wind up the meeting with a short summary. We circulated a note a few days ago setting out the objectives for this meeting and giving a few details about the format we will be following. Spare copies are available in the room.”

  43. “Israel must take immediate and concrete steps to support the emergence of a viable Palestinian State, including easing restrictions, withdrawing to pre-28 September 2000 positions, releasing tax revenues, freezing settlement activity and allowing free, immediate access for international humanitarian personnel to alleviate the worsening humanitarian situation in the occupied territories. As set out by European leaders at Seville last month, our vision of the solution is an end to the occupation and the early establishment of a democratic, viable, peaceful and sovereign State of Palestine on the basis of the 1967 borders, if necessary with minor adjustments agreed by the parties. The two States should be capable of living side by side within secure and recognized borders enjoying normal relations with their neighbours.”

  44. “Both parties should respond to the challenges in President Bush's statement and in the statement by the "quartet" of 16 July, which the Council supported, with the goal of a final Israeli-Palestinian settlement within three years. The Palestinians must conduct security, political and economic reform with an action plan agreed by the "quartet" on 10 July, leading to a Palestinian State committed to combating terror. The United Kingdom stands ready to help with that.”

  45. “The United Kingdom will continue to work at every level and to explore every avenue to get that process going again. It is important that both sides now focus their efforts on creating the conditions necessary for a resumption of negotiations. Negotiations to secure a unilateral Palestinian de-escalation have been ongoing for some time, and the United Kingdom has followed them closely as part of our determination to help end the cycle of violence and to restart the political process. We hope that, despite the acts of violence this week, those negotiations will not falter. Indeed, the very point of holding this debate now is to contribute to efforts to preserve the chances of progress in negotiations.”

  46. “The United Kingdom also believes that Israel has obligations which it must respect under international law, including international humanitarian law. Action taken in self-defence must be proportionate. Israel must avoid civilian casualties and avoid damaging civilian property and infrastructure. I should be clear that all acts of violence, including by Palestinians, which indiscriminately target civilians are completely unacceptable. They are never justified under any circumstances or by any explanation. We also condemn the practice of extrajudicial killings. The United Kingdom extends its sympathies to all those from both communities who have lost family members. Ordinary Israelis and Palestinians deserve peace and security. Violence will not provide the answer. Peace and security can be achieved only by negotiations.”

  47. “I shall now make some remarks in my capacity as representative of the United Kingdom. The statement to be made later by the representative of Denmark on behalf of the European Union will set out the overall policy to which the United Kingdom Government subscribes. Violence again seems to have gained the upper hand in the Middle East. As the British Foreign Secretary told the House of Commons on 23 July, the Israeli air strike on Gaza City which resulted in 15 deaths and over 100 injuries was unacceptable. It was also counterproductive. Mr. Straw said that he recognized and understood Israel's need to take action against suspected suicide bombers and their accomplices. Israel was entitled to take steps to protect itself from terrorist attack, but those steps should be neither disproportionate nor excessive.”
