1. “The welfare of the people of Myanmar remains our utmost priority and is at the core of all our efforts. We believe that the complex situation in Myanmar calls for an approach of quiet and patient diplomacy. Any other course will not help in resolving the long-standing issues that have prevented enduring peace, stability, progress and democratic governance. Under the current circumstances, we are of the considered view that a Security Council resolution may entrench the parties in their inflexible positions, rather than encourage them to pursue an inclusive political dialogue. We strongly call upon all parties for an immediate cessation of hostilities and to abandon their extreme positions and immediately initiate an inclusive political dialogue for the restoration of democracy.”

2. “I shall now make an explanation of vote in my national capacity. At the outset, I would like to compliment the delegation of United Kingdom, under Ambassador Barbara Woodward, for having negotiated the text of resolution 2669 (2022) in a transparent and consultative manner by taking into account the views of neighbouring countries, and in particular those of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and keeping their concerns on board. India shares a nearly 1,700-kilometre-long border with Myanmar and has historical and cultural links with its people. As such, any instability in the country impacts us directly. Resolving the current crisis and the maintenance of peace, stability and prosperity in Myanmar are therefore of direct interest to our national security.”

6. “India has offered lines of credit worth $280 million to Syria for building a power plant and a steel plant. A next-generation centre for information technology was set up in Damascus in October 2021. Approximately, 1,500 scholarships have been provided to Syrian students to study in India in diverse streams, including 200 scholarships in the current academic year itself. We stand ready to do more in the coming days and months to help our Syrian brothers and sisters in their hour of need. I assure the Security Council that India will continue to play a constructive and meaningful role in support of Syria and its people in their endeavour to attain lasting peace and stability. I now resume my functions as the President of the Council. The representative of the Russian Federation has asked for the floor to make a further statement.”

7. “We reiterate our call for the exercise of caution and due diligence when extending humanitarian assistance to entities and individuals proscribed under the United Nations sanctions regime. The global fight against terrorism cannot and should not be compromised for narrow political gains. It is urgent and imperative that the international community display zero tolerance towards terrorism without any double standards. In conclusion, I will say that India and Syria share historic and friendly relations. Over the years, India has extended humanitarian, technical and development assistance to Syria through bilateral and multilateral channels. Consignments of food and medicines have been supplied to Syria from time to time, including during the pandemic.”

8. “The restrictions on financial services have also negatively affected the work of humanitarian agencies. We have noted the progress in cross-line deliveries and early-recovery projects. Our consistent view in this regard has been that distribution of humanitarian assistance to Syrians, whether by cross-line or cross- border mechanisms, should be guided by a needs- based assessment, and not by political motivations. Humanitarian assistance cannot be a matter of political expediency. The threat of terrorism to Syria and the region also cannot be ignored. The sanctioned terror outfits, such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham remain active in Syria.”

9. “We believe that withdrawal of all foreign forces is essential to achieving a nationwide ceasefire. We note the recent meeting of the ceasefire task force and hope that the parties will take steps towards a cessation of hostilities. The humanitarian situation remains dire, as many have said. In his most recent report (S/2022/933), the Secretary-General has projected an increase in the number of people in need of humanitarian aid from 14.6 million in 2022 to 15.3 million in 2023. Under- Secretary-General Martin Griffiths has also reiterated the challenges faced by humanitarian agencies. Women, children and the elderly continue to be severely affected, and impediments to humanitarian assistance persist, both in terms of delivery and augmentation of financial resources.”

10. “In that regard, we take note of the efforts of the Special Envoy, particularly his visit to Damascus earlier this month. The step-for-step approach that he advocates requires engagement and response from all sides and cannot be a one-sided process. The progressive normalization of Syria’s relations with its neighbours can contribute positively in that regard, and we continue to support the Special Envoy’s active engagement with the region. In recent weeks, the security situation, particularly in north-east Syria, has worsened. Moreover, the activities of terrorist outfits are on the rise. We have also seen military operations inside Syria carried out by a neighbour. We express concern over such unilateral actions, which violate Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

11. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of India. I thank Special Envoy Geir Pedersen and Under- Secretary General Martin Griffiths for their briefings. We note with regret that there is still no end in sight for the conflict in Syria and that the political process has not yet taken off. We continue to urge for a Syrian-led and Syrian-owned political process, in line with resolution 2254 (2015), with a firm commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic. A decisive forward movement on the political track in Syria remains urgent if the sufferings of its people are to be alleviated. The revival of the Constitutional Committee process is crucial if we are to move forward on the political track.”

15. “As a result, there has been consistent improvement in recent years in the operating environment, living conditions, casualty evacuation and medical facilities, among other areas. This is a work in progress, and any recommendation on the issue can be done only with adequate data collection, its analysis and taking into consideration the views and concerns of all troop- and police-contributing countries. We conveyed our views on that count during the negotiations on the resolution. We therefore hope that future deliberations on the issue of mental health and the well-being of United Nations peace operations personnel will be addressed in a systemic and holistic manner and through all relevant and mandated organs of the United Nations. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

16. “First, any serious deliberation of the issue should be premised on the data and studies conducted in consultation with troop- and police-contributing countries. It need not be based on a simplistic assumption that troop- and police-contributing countries are not giving due attention to the matter. Secondly, we believe that the right forum to deliberate the issue is the General Assembly’s Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations (C-34). The C-34 consists of 157 Member States involved in peacekeeping missions and holds annual debates to arrive at policy recommendations. The C-34 has been giving due consideration to the issue of the mental health of United Nations personnel in peace operations.”

17. “I shall now make a statement in explanation of vote in my national capacity. As one of the largest troop-contributing countries over the years, India places the highest importance on the safety, security and well-being of United Nations peacekeepers. Mental health is an essential component of holistic health, as the representative of Mexico pointed out, and we are cognizant of the difficult and demanding environments in which United Nations peace operations personnel work. Therefore, the medical care and the well-being of United Nations personnel deserve the collective and close attention of all Member States. While we voted in favour of resolution 2668 (2022) while keeping the overall interests and well-being of United Nations peacekeepers in mind, we would like to submit the following two issues for the Council’s future deliberations.”

34. “The absence of a political process to achieve a viable two-State solution continues to be the biggest impediment to the peaceful settlement of the Palestine question. One cannot overlook the consequences of the current status quo. Terror attacks, violence and incitement continue to create mutual fear and suspicion between the parties. That could lead to the perpetuation of the conflict, which would only increase the number of casualties on both sides. Let me therefore conclude by saying that there is no alternative to the two-State solution to guarantee lasting peace between Israel and Palestine, and direct negotiation is the only path that can lead us there. There cannot be any shortcuts on that count. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers.”

Unilateral measures that unduly alter the status quo on the ground and undercut the viability of the two-State solution must be eschewed. It is extremely important for the international community and the Council to send a strong signal against any step that would prevent the possibility of durable peace between Israel and Palestine. It is only by realizing the vision of two States living side by side in peace, security and mutual recognition and by resolving all final-status issues permanently through direct negotiations that the legitimate aspirations of both peoples will be achieved.”

We have said this before, and I now say it again — we remain deeply concerned about the developments in the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza. Violent attacks and the killing of civilians took many Palestinian and Israeli lives during the reporting period. Acts of destruction and provocation are also continuing. India has consistently advocated against all acts of violence, and we reiterate our call for immediate steps to ensure the complete cessation of violence.”

Their continuing mobilizations and clashes bring to focus the dangers they pose to Libya’s security and stability. Violations of Security Council resolutions, especially its provisions on the arms embargo, have gone on with complete disregard for peace and stability in Libya and the region. We are also concerned about the resurgence of terrorist activities in the country and reiterate that terrorist groups and affiliated entities must not be allowed to operate unchallenged in Libya.”

It has been nearly a year since the missed deadline for elections and yet we have no agreement on the way forward. The political impasse continues and points of friction between various institutions have given rise to tensions. It is important that all actors resume their cooperation in order to overcome the political deadlock. That is in the interests both of the people of Libya and the region as a whole.”

Subsequently, a communication was also received from a representative of Ms. Aisha Al-Qadhafi confirming her return to Oman.
