  1. “Access for humanitarian assistance is urgently needed to enable the delivery of assistance by the International Committee of the Red Cross and other humanitarian relief organizations. Such assistance must not be politicized. It must remain a humanitarian task to help those in need. We also reiterate the need to translate the outcome of the Belarus summit into real progress in peace talks and the release of all hostages. In that regard, we call upon both parties, Russian and Ukrainian, to continue talking and consulting. Hopefully, that will lead to peace between the two parties. We also hope that peace can be linked to political and economic interests for the good of the peoples of both parties. Such cooperation would enable the increased risks that threaten the security of Russia and Ukraine and all of the region to be eliminated.”

  2. “Mrs. Kawar (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): We extend our thanks to Mr. Feltman for his briefing on the situation in Ukraine. Jordan expresses its deep concern about the escalation of the crisis in Ukraine and the developing situation. Jordan reaffirms the need for respect for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and to refrain from any provocative action that could threaten peace and security. Such conduct will only complicate matters in eastern Ukraine and negatively impact international efforts towards peace. We call upon all parties to refrain from using military means and to cooperate in forging a peaceful solution based on the Charter of the United Nations, the rules of international law and all the efforts made in recent months, including agreements signed between the two parties.”

  3. “The correct approach requires a strategy that takes into consideration the operational, legal and thematic aspects of conflicts. We hope that the Secretary-General, other United Nations bodies and the Security Council can cooperate in devising such a strategy as soon as possible.”

  4. “We underscore the importance of cooperation with international and regional organizations in the context of Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations. There is no competition among such organizations and the United Nations. Their role is as a catalyst and is complementary to that of the United Nations. One element that limits the Council's ability to prevent conflicts is the absence of timely and accurate information. We should therefore support and adopt mechanisms such as the Arria Formula and consider new mechanisms in order to receive information from the field. The United Nations and the Council should try to adopt a comprehensive approach and a clear strategy within the institutional framework so as to prevent conflicts.”

  5. “The Secretary-General should utilize all available mechanisms to notify the Council that action is needed when a situation requires it, based on the information he receives. The Council should use the ability of the Secretary-General to prevent conflicts and provide him with all the necessary means to fulfil his role. We call on the Secretary- General to use preventive diplomacy, good offices and mediation in coordination with the Council. United Nations missions, peacekeeping operations and special political missions could be used to prevent the outbreak of conflicts. We could also consider the establishment of working groups under the Security Council so as to establish mechanisms to follow hot spots of tension.”

  6. “We would like to stress, however, the importance of the provisions of Chapter VI of the Charter with regard to the peaceful settlement of disputes. That aspect has been absent from the Council's work for many decades, hindering the Council's ability to prevent conflicts. The measures set out in Chapter VI offer the best way to address situations that can endanger international peace and security, especially when States are the parties to a conflict. They are the least onerous measures for preventing or delaying the outbreak of conflicts. The Secretary-General, his envoys and his representatives have major and crucial roles to play in early warning when a situation has the potential to degenerate into armed conflict.”

  7. “On the contrary, it is armed conflicts that undermine the sovereignty and endanger the political independence and territorial integrity of States. The Charter provides guarantees that should serve as the framework for measures adopted by United Nations bodies for the prevention of conflicts, namely, the rule of law. Politization has largely affected the ability of the Security Council and that of other United Nations organs to prevent conflicts and to effectively address hotbeds of tension. We welcome the adoption a short time ago of resolution 2171 (2014). Its implementation could prevent conflicts from escalating. The resolution provides mechanisms, principles and strategies that could be implemented.”

  8. “As they observed, things have substantially changed since the Charter of the United Nations was adopted almost 70 years ago. Most conflicts now are intra-State conflicts, involving State and non-State actors. That does not imply that the Charter of the United Nations is no longer valid in attempts to prevent conflicts before they break out. Nonetheless, we need to envisage a wholistic perspective for all the Articles of the Charter in order to implement all its purposes and principles so as to establish international peace and security worldwide. Respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States lies at the heart of international relations. It should not serve as a pretext to keep us from working together as an international community, as the United Nations or as the Security Council to prevent conflicts.”

  9. “Ms. Kawar (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to express our thanks to the Secretary- General and to Ms. Navi Pillay for their briefings. We would also like to pay tribute to Ms. Pillay for her service, especially for her efforts on behalf of the United Nations under difficult circumstances. The United Nations plays a crucial role in maintaining international peace and security. Thanks to its institutions, the Organization has been able to prevent or forestall the development of a number of conflicts. However, we must recognize that the United Nations could have prevented far more conflicts, and saved far more lives, if preventive measures had been taken in advance. A number of factors highlight the shortcomings in conflict prevention, as some of the preceding speakers have mentioned.”
