“In conclusion, we believe that a strong and equitable multilateralism is indispensable for addressing common challenges, finding collective solutions and building a better future for current and succeeding generations. To that end, the United Nations remains the most effective, efficient and appropriate framework for cooperation and the platform for multilateral action par excellence for achieving those new objectives.”

“Morocco welcomes the efforts and initiatives of Secretary-General António Guterres, in particular his report Our Common Agenda (A/75/982) and the New Agenda for Peace, which aim to strengthen the action of our Organization, equipping it to face the challenges of our times and ensuring a better future for succeeding generations. Those initiatives, in addition to the reforms undertaken in the United Nations, including the reform of the Security Council — with respect to which we reaffirm our full support for the African Common Position, as contained in the Ezulwini Consensus and the Sirte Declaration — contribute to strengthening the role of the United Nations and multilateralism in general by encouraging an inclusive, equitable approach to international cooperation.”

“In that regard, the Kingdom of Morocco is firmly committed to important multilateral initiatives, such as intercultural, intercivilizational and interreligious dialogues, combating terrorism and violent extremism, the humane and humanitarian management of migration, the promotion of sustainable development and the protection of the environment, to name but a few very important topics. Morocco has also made it a top priority to ensure the peace, security and sustainable development of our African continent, as well as to take multilateral action in favour of Africa, in accordance with the instructions of King Mohammed VI.”

“We also need to take a fresh look at multilateral action, develop renewed and innovative approaches and define consensus concepts that can give new impetus to facing immediate and future challenges and strengthening the effectiveness of international institutions. In accordance with the guidelines provided by King Mohammed VI, Morocco actively contributes to the promotion of multilateralism based on peace, stability, mutual respect and sustainable development at the global and continental levels. Morocco has always believed that multilateral cooperation is the most effective way to respond to the global challenges facing humankind, especially in an interconnected and ever-changing world.”

“The backbone of the founding text of the United Nations was and remains the maintenance of international peace and security. Today, as in 1945, that objective continues to be at the heart of United Nations action. And it is precisely the Security Council, the guarantor of peace and security in the world, that has the primary responsibility in that regard. Today we need a more united, effective and pragmatic multilateralism. The coronavirus disease pandemic has clearly shown us that we depend on each other and that multilateralism is required. For Morocco, building a renewed, equitable multilateral system is fundamental to ensuring that international solidarity is adequately strengthened to meet the current multidimensional and multiform challenges.”

“Mr. Kadiri (Morocco) (spoke in French): At the outset, I would like to thank you, Mr. Sergey Lavrov, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, for organizing and presiding over this open debate on the theme of effective multilateralism through the defence of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations. The Charter of the United Nations lays the foundation for the conduct of predictable international relations, based on a set of common values and principles. The latter, particularly respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Member States, the peaceful resolution of disputes and international community, are critical for facing global challenges. They represent a safety valve for multilateralism based on the rule of law, respect for human rights, international peace and security and development.”

“In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that the Kingdom of Morocco will continue to play its historic role in supporting the Palestinian question and maintaining relations with all parties and international stakeholders in order to create the conditions conducive to reviving the negotiations between the Palestinian and Israeli sides. That is the only way to achieve security and stability in the Middle East region.”

“Recently, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, as Chair of the Al-Quds Committee, led successful negotiations in July 2022 on permanently opening the King Hussein Bridge between Jordan and the West Bank. That has reflected positively on the daily lives of the Palestinians and facilitated the movement of people and goods. In his letter of solidarity with the Palestinian people in 2022, His Majesty King Mohammed VI stressed that the efforts and endeavours of the Kingdom of Morocco on the Palestinian question reflect sincere commitment, supported by tangible measures on the ground, that are appreciated and commended by the Palestinian leadership and people. Therefore, we call for distancing the just Palestinian question from useless actions and narrow interests that do not serve it at all.”

“The Al-Quds Committee plays a political and practical role in supporting the Palestinian people in general and the residents of Jerusalem in particular. It combines the political efforts of His Majesty King Mohammed VI and the field work undertaken by the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Agency under the personal and actual supervision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. Since its establishment in 1995, the Agency has developed and implemented tangible projects in the areas of education, health, culture and the economy in order to improve the living conditions of the residents of Jerusalem and preserve the cultural and spiritual landmarks of the city of Al-Quds Al-Sharif as a meeting place for the three monotheistic religions, the common heritage of humankind and coexistence. Morocco is always committed to improving the living conditions of Palestinians.”

“The Kingdom of Morocco stresses the importance of refraining from any action that might escalate tensions in the region. His Majesty King Mohammed VI, as Chair of the Al-Quds Committee, has closely and attentively continued to monitor all developments related to the Palestinian question. His Majesty calls for maintaining the legal, cultural and historical status quo of Al-Quds Al-Sharif as a common heritage of humankind, as a symbol of peaceful coexistence among the followers of the three monotheistic religions and as a centre for the values of mutual respect and dialogue. He stressed that in the Jerusalem Declaration, which he signed with His Eminence Pope Francis in Rabat on 30 March 2019.”

“It is a core issue for the Middle East, and it is at the top of the list of international priorities. We remain committed to our position on every occasion because we believe that stability and prosperity in the region are closely related to finding a just and lasting solution, within the context of international law and relevant Security Council resolutions. The Kingdom of Morocco underscores our steadfast and clear position regarding the just Palestinian question. We reject all attempts to undermine the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, in particular their right to create an independent, sovereign and viable State, based on 4 June 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side with the State of Israel, in security, stability and peace.”

“In his letter of solidarity sent in November 2022 to mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, His Majesty King Mohammed VI highlighted the absence of political horizon on the Palestinian question. He indicated that unilateral measures undermine opportunities for peace and have enabled extremists to attack holy sites and spread a culture of violence and hatred, which could transform the political conflict into an ideological one and result in serious consequences for the entire region. The Kingdom of Morocco underscores the importance of refraining from punitive measures against the Palestinian people and their institutions. The Kingdom of Morocco firmly believes that the Palestinian question is a central issue.”

“Mr. Kadiri (Morocco) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to express my appreciation for Japan’s efforts in conducting the work of the Security Council this month. I would also like to sincerely thank Mr. Tor Wennesland, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, for his briefing on the most recent developments. The Kingdom of Morocco, led by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Chair of the Al-Quds Committee of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, has underscored the importance of refraining from any unilateral measure that could pose a threat to the current legal, historical, geographical, religious and demographic status quo in the city of Jerusalem and to the Al-Quds Al-Sharif compound, for the sake of peace and stability.”

“There is really no point in carrying out major projects if we cannot go beyond this first link in the chain of living together, for the sake of a single humankind, which restores human beings to the centre of its concerns”. Lastly, I would like to underscore that Morocco will remain a strong partner in implementing the common objectives outlined in the Charter of the United Nations and for strengthening multilateralism. We also believe that is the best way to chart a present and a future that benefit us and future generations.”

“Similarly, South-South cooperation, in particular with our brother African countries, is a major pillar of the foreign policy of the Kingdom of Morocco, in accordance with the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. We support multilateralism that also promotes mutual respect and interreligious, intercultural, intercivilizational, intergenerational and intercontinental dialogue. At the ninth Global Forum of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, which took place in Fez, Morocco, on 22 and 23 November, King Mohammed said, “At this special time in history, as we fight climate change and terrorism; as we seek to promote sustainable development and ensure water, energy and food security — indeed, development in general — we must go back to that which is paramount, that is, living together.”

“In addition, we reaffirm our support for the revitalization of the work of the General Assembly and for strengthening the Economic and Social Council. Multilateralism, collective action and shared responsibility are key elements in the debate on reforming the United Nations. To that end, Morocco supports effective, inclusive, preventive and cooperative multilateralism, which would promote greater solidarity among Member States in order to implement the three pillars of our Organization — peace and security, development and human rights. Morocco advocates for greater international and regional cooperation, as well as effective multilateralism, to address the multifaceted crises facing the international community.”

“It is therefore unacceptable that 77 years after the establishment of our Organization, Africa is the only continent that is not represented among the permanent members of the Security Council and yet is overrepresented in its non-permanent category. It is in that context that we call for a reformed Security Council that can enable Africa to take its rightful place. In that regard, I want to reiterate that Morocco fully supports the Common African Position, the Ezulwini Consensus and the Sirte Declaration. We call for Africa’s fair and equitable representation in both categories of seats, with at least two permanent seats and five non-permanent seats, in order to do justice to our continent. It would then be up to Africa to select its representatives within a reformed Security Council.”

“Morocco affirms its full support for Our Common Agenda, which is a road map for revitalizing our Organization so that it can continue to be ready to meet our current challenges. We must all take the opportunity provided by Our Common Agenda, in particular the Summit of the Future, to reaffirm our tireless commitment to the United Nations, as the global centre of multilateralism, and to respect its founding principles, including the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States. Needless to say, reforming our Organization must remain a priority so that it can continue to play its role in a way that addresses the changes that this century has brought and meets their challenges.”

“The adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals was a milestone for multilateralism and the United Nations. Their implementation and realization must continue to benefit from the continuing renewal and revitalization of multilateralism, which is part and parcel of the United Nations system, especially in order to respond to the devastating effects of the coronavirus disease pandemic and other current crises, such as those in the areas of climate, energy, food and security. In his report on Our Common Agenda (A/75/982), the Secretary-General discussed his vision and five-year plan for renewed global cooperation and inclusive, networked and effective multilateralism.”

“Mr. Kadiri (Morocco) (spoke in French): At the outset, I would like to thank the Indian presidency of the Security Council during this month for having organized this open debate on the theme “A new orientation for the reform of multilateralism.” I would like to express the Kingdom of Morocco’s great appreciation for the active and positive contribution of India towards the maintenance of international peace and security during its term on the Security Council in 2021 and 2022. Today more than ever before, humankind is at a turning point for its future. The challenges faced by the international community require greater solidarity, cooperation, justice and equality — the very principles of multilateralism, to which Morocco remains firmly committed.”

“On the eve of each renewal of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic mandate, the Central African Republic country configuration, which Morocco is honoured to chair, continues its good practice of sharing recommendations with the Security Council based on peacebuilding priorities in the Central African Republic. Finally, we reiterate the importance of the Security Council developing clear, focused, sequenced, prioritized, realistic and achievable mandates in consultation with host States and troop- and police-contributing countries and providing peacekeeping missions with all the support they need to accomplish their tasks. Financial support to these missions is, of course, also fundamental.”

“Morocco expresses its appreciation for the work of the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA) in this context, in particular in terms of building the local capacity of women and youth for mediation and conflict prevention and supporting political processes. In this regard, Morocco is honoured to have been a member of the DPPA donor group for several years. Secondly, the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), its country configurations and the Peacebuilding Fund play a central role in strengthening the integration of peacekeeping and peacebuilding through economic- recovery and capacity-building efforts based on national ownership, which underscores the need to strengthen complementarity and coordination between the Security Council and the PBC.”

“We reiterate our firm belief that the establishment of lasting peace requires investing in the peace-security-development nexus in order to eliminate the root causes of conflict and strengthen the capacities of Member States to prevent and respond to risks of crisis. Morocco, which has put the peace-security- development nexus approach at the heart of its commitment to peace and security, would like to emphasize the following three points. First, preventive diplomacy, mediation and special political missions, as important elements in the United Nations toolbox, must be able to fully play their roles.”

“It is therefore essential that the work of peacekeeping operations be supported, with greater efforts and resources being devoted to strengthening the various tools at the disposal of the United Nations in order to guarantee complementarity in missions’ actions and to ensure that they receive all the political and financial resources they need. To that end, we welcome the sustained and continuous attention the Secretary-General has given to this issue, including his proposal to develop a new agenda for peace with the objective of achieving a more proactive and coherent collective approach in and more effective results from action by the international community.”

“As we have heard many times in today’s debate, it is clear that United Nations peacekeeping operations are the Organization’s most effective means of responding to threats to international peace and security. The tasks of peacekeeping operations have evolved over the past decade to include conflict prevention and peacebuilding activities in modern multidimensional missions, in accordance with their respective mandates. However, the gap between the ambitious aspirations of multidimensional mandates and the resources available to peacekeeping operations remains wide. The response to today’s challenges, which are multiple and complex in nature, must be based on new and innovative approaches that anticipate and intervene rather than simply observe and react.”

Our fraternal country, Ghana, can count on Morocco’s full support during its presidency of the Security Council.

“In a solidarity statement, His Majesty King Mohammed VI reiterated on 21 November 2021 his solidarity with the Palestinian people on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, and appealed for intense and effective diplomatic efforts to return the stakeholders to the negotiating table in order to find a solution to the Palestinian question within the context of the two-State solution and to build a promising future for the Palestinian and Israeli generations. In conclusion, the Kingdom of Morocco reiterates its full solidarity with brotherly Yemen and its legitimate Government. We strongly condemn the attack perpetrated by the terrorist Houthi militia on Friday 21 October against a ship approaching the port of Dhaba, in Hadramout province.”

We are convinced of the centrality of the Palestinian question, which is a core issue in the Middle East and one of the main priorities of the international community.

We believe that the stability and prosperity of the region are closely linked to finding a just and lasting solution to the Palestinian question in line with international law and the relevant Security Council resolutions.”

“Since its establishment in 1995, the Agency has worked to safeguard Arab and Islamic rights in the holy city by supporting and funding numerous vital projects in the social, cultural, educational, health and construction fields, with direct and tangible effect on the living conditions of the inhabitants of Al-Quds. The Bayt Mal Al-Quds Al-Sharif Agency has recently funded the tuitions of 100 students in the Al-Quds Open University, pursuant to a partnership and cooperation agreement signed in Rabat in June between the Agency and relevant Palestinian parties. The agreement also includes holding exhibitions and a New Year’s Eve festival for the benefit of the Muslim- Christian Associations and in support of Al-Quds and the holy sites.”

“In the context of Morocco’s permanent commitment to improving the living conditions of the Palestinian people, His Majesty King Mohammed VI mediated successfully to keep King Hussein/Allenby Bridge open between Jordan and the West Bank. That will have a positive impact on the daily lives of the Palestinians by facilitating the movement of persons and goods. The Al-Quds Committee continues to emphasize its message of protecting Al-Quds and supporting its inhabitants under the direct auspices of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. Morocco allocates nearly 86 per cent of the Committee’s annual budget to cover political efforts, along with work undertaken on the ground by the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Al-Sharif Agency.”

“There is no alternative to a political solution leading to an independent Palestinian State, with East Jerusalem as its capital, within the 4 June 1967 borders, living side-by-side with Israel in an environment of security, stability, tranquillity and peace. His Majesty King Mohammed VI, in his capacity as Chairperson of the Al-Quds Committee, is making every political and diplomatic effort to preserve the privileged status of the holy city. In that context, in the Al-Quds Declaration issued on 30 March 2019, His Majesty the King and Pope Francis reiterated the importance of preserving the status of the holy city as the common heritage of humankind and its legal, historic and demographic status for the three monotheistic religions.”

In line with Morocco’s Africa policy guidelines, set up by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the Kingdom is promoting a new model based on South- South cooperation and solidarity. Morocco is working to strengthen the resilience of African States by promoting integration, continental solidarity and collective responsibility as key elements to respond to the changes that are taking place on our continent.”

“The Kingdom of Morocco remains firmly committed to a comprehensive, coherent approach in its support for African countries in dealing with terrorism, combining the security dimension, particularly through regional and continent-wide cooperation, with achieving economic and human development and preserving cultural and religious identities. Morocco hosts the Office of Counter-Terrorism’s programme for counter-terrorism capacity-building in Africa and seeks to share its expertise and resources by providing, in partnership with the United Nations, quality training on counter-terrorism and border security for African countries. In coordination with that Office’s programme, Morocco hosted the first conference of heads of counter-terrorism and security agencies in the West African region in Marrakesh on 23 and 24 June.”

“Furthermore, we reiterate the need to respond favourably to Africa’s legitimate request for the financing of African Union peacekeeping operations authorized by the Security Council to be based on assessed contributions from the United Nations budget. In recent years, the terrorist threat has unfortunately increased in an unprecedented and extremely dangerous way in Africa, undermining peace and security on the continent, in particular due to proven links among terrorist groups, transnational criminal networks and separatist groups. In that regard, the international community’s coordinated and cooperative effort is critical to supporting African countries in their fight against that scourge.”

Moreover, we stress the importance of sustainable, adequate and predictable financing for development, peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts. In that context, it is essential for the international community to implement its commitments to financing development in Africa. Similarly, Morocco reiterates its full support for the Secretary-General’s proposal to allocate $100 million to the Peacebuilding Fund in United Nations assessed contributions, aware that Africa is a major part of the Peacebuilding Commission’s agenda.”

“In order to support that momentum, it is the responsibility of the international community to continue to support the leadership of African countries to strengthen and consolidate what has been achieved, in accordance with the priorities of those countries and their national ownership. Based on the reality of the peace, development and security nexus, and the fact that there can be no lasting peace without economic development, it is necessary to adopt a holistic, consistent and multidimensional approach that involves Governments, international, regional and subregional organizations, international financial institutions and civil society actors as part of a shared effort to build Africa’s capacities to promote peace and socioeconomic development.”

Moreover, having contributed to United Nations peacekeeping operations on African soil since the 1960s, the brave peacekeeping troops of the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces contribute honourably and selflessly, sometimes paying with their lives, to promoting peace in several African countries and to strengthening stability on our continent. African countries have come a long way and made a great deal of progress in ensuring peace, stability and security on our continent.”

I thank China for organizing this open debate on an extremely important topic for Morocco, namely, peacebuilding and sustaining peace in Africa, our continent. I would also like to thank the briefers for their informative briefings. In line with the guidance of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco works tirelessly for peacemaking, peacebuilding and peacekeeping on our continent. As a member of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union, Morocco therefore does everything that it can to prevent and resolve conflicts in Africa.”

“The chapter seeks to strengthen women’s leadership at all levels of decision-making in the political, economic and public spheres. Its work is focused on several areas — the empowerment of rural women, political participation, peace and security, young women’s leadership, financial inclusion and social mobilization. In conclusion, Morocco remains committed to working together with the United Nations, regional organizations and partners in order to advance the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda as part of its national action plan. Women are the most vulnerable and targeted members of the population in conflict situations. Their participation in peace processes improves the likelihood of conflict resolution, promotes lasting peace agreements and boost national reconciliation and socioeconomic reintegration.”

“It is therefore critical to strengthen international and regional cooperation in capacity-building and the training of women in preventive diplomacy, mediation, peacekeeping and the prevention of violent extremism, as well as to create synergies between the women and peace and security agenda, the human rights normative framework and the Sustainable Development Goals. Morocco actively participated in the launching of the African Women Leaders Network in New York in June 2017. Morocco welcomes that the Network has since been able to create a continental force of women leaders that contribute to the transformation of Africa, in line with the African Union’s Agenda 2063 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In December 2019, the Network launched its Morocco chapter in Casablanca.”

“The coronavirus disease pandemic has amplified their vulnerability and the risks they face. The efforts of Morocco to achieve the objectives of the women and peace and security agenda are part of its action to promote a multilateralism that is based on action, that goes beyond mere declarations of intention, that is translated into concrete initiatives to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable and that is guided by the evolving current threats to international peace and security. The road map for the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda must be guided by those evolving threats.”

“It has the potential to be transformative because it recognizes that development cannot be sustainable unless it is inclusive, that peace cannot be achieved if women do not participate and that security cannot be complete if it does not take into account the needs of women and girls, particularly the most vulnerable. Unfortunately, we still live in a world where women are affected, now more than ever, by humanitarian crises, armed conflicts and natural disasters. The gap between words and deeds is therefore widening. Conflicts have devastating consequences all over the world, particularly for women and girls, as they are most often the targets of sexual and gender-based violence and exclusion from political processes to establish peace and bolster security.”

“Aware of women’s contributions as critical mechanisms to sound an early warning on social tensions, of their sensitivity to threats to personal, family and community security and of their fight against extremism in local discourse, as well as of their role in mediation, Morocco participates actively in a number of initiatives, such as the promotion of mediation in the Mediterranean, launched by Morocco and Spain, the training of murshidats and women preachers and the holding, in Morocco, of an international conference on women and peace and security.
