  3. “In particular, we are grateful to Kuwait for hosting the three conferences aimed at appealing to the international community to assume its responsibility and at expanding donors' opportunities to effectively contribute to finding a solution to the problem, until the refugees voluntarily choose to return to their homes, which will happen only ifa political solution is reached. I urge all representatives to make every possible effort to achieve that goal. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to the members of the Security Council.”

  4. “A lasting solution that addresses the roots of the problems can be achieved only through a political solution, as I said at the beginning of my statement, based on the provisions of the Geneva communique (S/2012/522, annex). The absence of a political solution after four years of crisis compels the international community to address the refugee problem by taking a long-term perspective and considering the development needs of the host countries, as their development is vital in terms of their capacities to host refugees. That is the case in Jordan. In conclusion, allow me to express J ordan's gratitude and appreciation to all the countries and international organizations, people and bodies that have provided us with assistance in assuming the burden of hosting the refugees.”

  5. “Dealing with the refugees outside Syria is intrinsically connected to the situation in Syria. Since the beginning of the crisis, therefore, Jordan adopted an approach aimed at balancing the needs of the refugees in Jordan and the needs of the Syrian population in Syria. We have gone to great lengths in that regard. Through our membership in the Security Council we have effectively taken part in the adoption of resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014) and 2191 (2014), concerning humanitarian assistance to Syrians in Syria. Myriad humanitarian convoys have been sent to Syria, but these measures are partial and temporary and will never provide a comprehensive solution to the crisis in Syria or to the problem of refugees.”

  6. “Humankind as a whole is also responsible for meeting the needs of the refugees. The Jordanian Government has put in place an emergency plan for 2015 and has adopted best practices in assessing the needs of the refugees and the host communities. Their needs have all been integrated into a single plan that includes all the ministries, United Nations agencies, donors and local and international non-governmental organizations. The plan projects the cost of our relief efforts for this year to be $3 billion. The plan includes options for financing, such as direct support, trust funds and other options that are appropriate for the specific requirements of this crisis. We have signed an agreement establishing the trust fund to respond to the crisis in Syria and reduce the burden created by the increased needs.”

  7. “They lead to an imbalance, which threatens the peace and security of the host communities and could result in the situation spilling across borders, which could, in turn, threaten international peace and security. The severity of these potential outcomes compels the Council to seriously consider these challenges and the potential development of these situations. International agencies and donors should respond more effectively to the needs of the refugees, but also to the needs of the host countries as they seek to alleviate the burden created by the inflow of refugees. As we enter the fifth year ofthis crisis in Jordan, we continue to provide services to our brothers and sisters from Syria who have come to our country seeking refuge. We provide them with everything possible, and we fulfil that role on behalf of all humankind.”

  8. “Furthermore, since the start of the Syrian crisis, Jordan has seen an increase of 22 per cent in water consumption, and as the Council knows, we are a very poor country in terms of water. With regard to health care, our hospitals and public medical centres treated 700,000 Syrians in 2014, which represents an increase of 219,000 cases from the previous year. Those examples from the three sectors are replicated in other sectors in Jordan, especially in the labour market. This is a crisis that touches the Jordanian people and the countries that host refugees very closely. These situations lead to tensions and friction between the refugees and the host societies.”

  9. “Such a political solution should meet the needs and aspirations of the Syrian people and lead them to a new reality in which all the diverse groups that form the Syrian people play an active part in restoring the social fabric of the country and in which the displaced feel safe enough to return home. The significant impact that hosting the refugees has had on Jordan can be seen in the education sector, where, in the 2014-2015 school year, we have hosted 140,000 Syrian students. This has been a major burden on us and has led to a deterioration in our entire education sector. We have had to establish two school sessions per day in order to accommodate such a large number of students and, even then, thousands of school children from Syria could not be accommodated at all owing to the lack of capacity to receive them.”

  10. “Undoubtedly, the four-year duration of this crisis so far and the absence of a political solution have forced Jordan to turn away from dealing with the immediate impact of the crisis and led it to attempt to manage the flow of a large number of refugees who need to be hosted on an extended basis. This situation has had many repercussions on us, affecting, as it does, Jordanian society and the Jordanian State in terms of infrastructure, services, education, health, energy and water, putting acute pressure on the country's already limited resources. In our view, finding a political solution has always been the only way out of the crisis, particularly with regard to humanitarian assistance and the problem of refugees and displaced persons.”

  11. “Today's meeting coincides with the start of the fifth year of the Syrian crisis. Over the past four years, we have seen an escalation in killing, destruction, terrorism and lawlessness, which has forced millions of Syrians into exodus, both inside and outside their country. We in Jordan are at the forefront of this crisis, with the number of refugees in our country swelling to 1.5 million refugees to date, although before the crisis there were already 750,000 Syrians living in Jordan. This overall number represents 21 per cent of the total population of Jordan.”

  12. “Staffan de Mistura, and reiterates that the only sustainable solution to the current crisis in Syria is through an inclusive and Syrian-led political process that meets the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people, with a View to full implementation of the Geneva communique of 30 June 2012 endorsed as annex II of its resolution 2118 (2013)." This statement will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/2015/10. I shall now make a statement in my national capacity. In the context of today's special meeting on the tragedy in Syria, it is my duty to say that throughout history - and still today - my country, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, has been a safe harbour for the countries of our region, taking in displaced people from their lands when war or calamity has struck.”

  13. “"The Security Council welcomes the convening of the third International Humanitarian Pledging Conference for Syria, generously hosted by Kuwait on 31 March 2015, and the $3.6 billion pledges made, and calls on all Member States to ensure the timely disbursement of pledges.

  15. “"The Security Council notes with concern that the international response to the Syrian and regional crisis continues to fall short of meeting the needs as assessed by host Governments and the United Nations, and urges all Member States, based on burden-sharing principles, to support the United Nations and the countries of the region, including by adopting medium- and long-term responses to alleviate the impact on communities, providing increased, flexible and multi-year predictable funding as well as increasing resettlement efforts, and taking note in this regard of the Berlin Communique of 28 October 2014.”

  18. “"The Security Council reiterates its deep appreciation for the significant and admirable efforts that have been made by the countries of the region, notably Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt, to accommodate Syrian refugees and is mindful of the immense costs and multifaceted challenges incurred by these countries as a consequence of the crisis. "The Security Council notes with deep concern that the crisis in Syria has had social, demographic, environmental and economic effects on neighbouring countries; which have exacerbated vulnerabilities; overstretched limited resources and basic social services such as health, water, sanitation, housing capacities, energy and education; aggravated unemployment; diminished trade and investment; and affected regional stability and security.”

"The Security Council further calls for coordinated international support to the neighbouring countries hosting Syrian refugees, at their request, in addressing legitimate security concerns and ensuring the safety and security of host communities and refugees, and countering radicalization through, inter alia, the provision of support for effective border management and internal security measures.”
