“Let me conclude by reiterating the importance for the United Nations, in particular the Security Council, and the international community to not only ensure the effectiveness of peacekeeping operations, but also to tackle the root causes of disputes and conflicts at the earliest stage in a well-planned, coherent, coordinated and comprehensive manner, in accordance with international law and the Charter of the United Nations.”

“Furthermore, it is important that skilled and culturally aware civilian experts, especially from the global South, be deployed in a timely manner in areas in which expertise is required by the host countries. Peacekeeping is one of the important elements of Indonesia's foreign policy. Indonesia has participated actively in United Nations peacekeeping operations since 1956, and is presently contributing to six peacekeeping operations around the world. Indonesia will continue its contribution and increase its participation in United Nations peacekeeping operations.”

“To undertake the noble goal of the protection of civilians, which my delegation fully supports, adequate capabilities must be provided, along with clear mission goals, in order to enhance the effectiveness of peacekeeping operations. However, peacekeeping alone will remain insufficient if our goal is to achieve sustainable peace. A comprehensive approach that includes tackling root causes and conducting peacemaking is often the key to sustainable peace. Post-conflict peacebuilding is therefore Vital to helping war-torn societies transition to durable peace. In that regard, the role of the Peacebuilding Commission is of paramount importance. In that context, we commend the Security Council's focus over the past two years on the nexus between peacekeeping and peacebuilding.”

“The political, human, financial, logistic and information resources necessary to achieve the mission's mandate can be mobilized and sustained only through continuous efforts to strengthen consultation and coordination among our stakeholders. In this regard, the views of troop- and police-contributing countries are critical, and they, along with the host country, should be more frequently and meaningfully consulted. 11-48209 The question of resources, as highlighted in the concept paper (S/2011/496, annex), indeed remains vital. A lack of required resources could not only impinge on the safety and security of peacekeepers, but could also affect peacekeepers' mandated capacities to safeguard populations.”

“As this is a collective endeavour, all stakeholders need to be on the same page with a sense of common purpose in order to effectively address the challenges. United Nations peacekeeping must also continue to be clearly and firmly based on three basic principles, namely, the interests of the parties concerned; impartiality; and the non-use of force except in self- defence and in defence of the Security Council mandate. As missions have become increasingly multidimensional, complex and highly risky in some theatres, our responsibility to provide explicitly clear guidelines to Blue Helmets, along with the necessary equipment, training and resources, has also become more pronounced.”

“The role and contribution of the United Nations and the international community in their progress are exceptional, and the Security Council has been determined and decisive in that regard. The experience of all those conflicts reaffirms the critical importance of peacekeeping operations in fulfilling the Council's primary responsibility for saving humankind from the scourge of war. We believe that the continuing importance of peacekeeping missions should be duly recognized. We therefore reiterate our full support for the Council's increased recognition of United Nations peacekeeping as a global partnership that draws on the contributions of troop- and police-contributing countries, the Security Council, the General Assembly and the Secretariat, not to mention the host country.”

“Let me begin by joining previous speakers and the Secretary-General in condemning the heinous act of terror on the United Nations building in Abuja. We wish to express our solidarity and sympathy with the people and Government of Nigeria, and we extend our sincere condolences to the Victims and their families. My delegation wishes to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this meeting, as well as for the excellent non-paper (S/ZOll/496, annex) reflecting many of the vital challenges that face United Nations peacekeeping. We also thank the Secretary- General for his valuable remarks. Indonesia associates itself with the statement delivered by Morocco on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. We do indeed take comfort in witnessing the cessation of conflict in some countries and their progress in steady rebuilding and reconstruction.”

“We must embrace the significant moment when the international community, in particular the Security Council, fulfils its obligation to the Palestinian people - a moment of remarkable progress and transformation in the history of the Middle East. For its part, Indonesia's commitment and support for the Palestinian cause is total and unwavering. Our commitment to an independent, viable and democratic Palestine, living side by side in peace and security with its neighbours, is absolute.”

“Israel has many choices. But the most honourable and most reasonable choice is to conduct direct negotiations with Palestine. That choice will garner the sympathy and support of the international community. Such direct negotiations must lead to realizing the dream of statehood - nothing more and nothing less. Let me conclude by underlining that the path towards statehood is filled with roadblocks. We can attest to this. But my delegation firmly believes that we, the international community, must and can remove all hurdles to the peaceful and comprehensive resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

“Israel continues with its infamous ingenuity to combine persistent hostility towards the Palestinians with determined efforts to frustrate the peace process. Summary evictions of Palestinians, demolition of their property, and the expansion of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, comprise a grand design to construct a new reality. Such efforts mimic the strategies and tactics of a colonial Power. Israel must recognize that we are living in an era when human rights are to be respected and protected and that the will of the oppressed will prevail. No country can live with a clear conscience if it resorts to brutal repression. No country can wear the mantle of dignity while ignoring universal democratic values. Israel must change its controversial policies and cease its inhumane actions.”

“We welcome the important step forward taken in recent times by several States to extend recognition to the State of Palestine on the basis of the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. We urge members of the international community that have yet to do so, to confirm their recognition of the State of Palestine without delay, as justice delayed is justice denied. Indonesia wishes that in September, less than two months from now, in the Hall of the General Assembly, we, the community of nations, shall witness and welcome the birth of a new nation, the State of Palestine, in fulfilment of a long dream. However, the dream of our Palestinian people and their journey to an independent State has unfortunately continued to be beset by hurdles and setbacks.”

“The August 2009 comprehensive plan for Palestine formulated by the Government of Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, entitled "Palestine: Ending the Occupation, Establishing the State", is a component in the establishment of Palestinian statehood and thus part of the significant journey to achieve that long-term dream. We must support that dream, and we must continue to support the rehabilitation and development of Palestinian national institutions. The Non-Aligned Movement ministerial meeting in Bali in May made a commitment to support the independence of the State of Palestine. In the same vein, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation echoed the same position.”

“Let me begin by expressing our gratitude to Mr. Robert Serry, the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, for the briefing he provided at the start of the debate. Indonesia associates itself with the statement of the Non-Aligned Movement just delivered by the Representative of Egypt and with that of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, to be delivered later by the Representative of Kazakhstan. The resilience of the Palestinian people is worthy of recognition. They have endured repression and endless mayhem for decades, yet they have kept on moving forward towards achieving their dreams: the dream of statehood, namely, the dream of our Palestinian friends, brothers and sisters, to have a place that they can call their own.”

“On the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), ASEAN member States have taken measures at the national, subregional, regional and international levels to strengthen the global response to the serious challenge and threat to international peace and security posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their 33 means of delivery. Furthermore, ASEAN member States have taken measures to strengthen export controls, to prevent proliferation financing and shipments and to secure sensitive materials that could be used for weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery. In conclusion, let me reiterate that ASEAN stands ready to continue to work together and to contribute to the successful outcome of our common efforts in the fight against terrorism.”

“However, we urge the Counter-Terrorism Executive Directorate to intensify cooperation with regional and subregional organizations, with a view to enhancing the capacity of Member States to fully implement resolution 1373 (2001) and to facilitating the provision of technical assistance. We would also like to reiterate the importance of cooperation in capacity-building programmes, both for ASEAN and on a country- specific basis, as a two-pronged approach that would benefit all ASEAN stakeholders and the larger international community.”

“With reference to the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999), ASEAN member States have carried out their obligations under the resolution. We call upon the Security Council to promote the legitimacy and credibility of the Al-Qaida and Taliban sanctions regime, in particular by addressing concerns about due process and transparency in its listing and de-listing procedures. Turning to the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001), ASEAN member States have also taken measures at the national and regional levels to carry out the various obligations under the resolution. We now have various mechanisms in place to achieve these objectives.”

“11-33901 ASEAN underscores the importance of implementing resolution 1904 (2009), in particular the provisions regarding coordination and outreach, whereby the expert groups of the Committees are to enhance information sharing and coordination on visits to countries within their respective mandates, on facilitating and monitoring technical assistance, on relations with international and regional organizations and agencies and on other issues of relevance to the three Committees. The resolution further underlines the need for the groups to be co-located as soon as possible. Allow me to now touch briefly on specific references to the individual Council counter-terrorism Committees.”

“We would, however, like to see further cooperation and coordination among the three counter-terrorism Committees in order to ensure broader support from the wider membership of the United Nations. ASEAN recognizes that, to be effective, a global counter-terrorism strategy should be broad, comprehensive and based on profound respect for human rights, with full adherence and respect for human rights and the dignity of the person. ASEAN therefore acknowledges the important work being done within the United Nations system to spur and sustain development, to provide education and to encourage intercultural and interreligious dialogue as part of the broader efforts to address terrorism and to counter radicalization.”

“ASEAN is of the view that these efforts would also contribute to the implementation of the United Nations Global Counter- Terrorism Strategy. ASEAN is determined to continue to cooperate, not only in the prevention and suppression of extremism and terrorism but also to address and remove the root causes and conditions that give rise to these threats to humanity. ASEAN approaches that task through the promotion of development that is both equitable and inclusive. Such development would also embody peaceful and mutual respect among the various communities and take into account their peculiarities of diversity and historical uniqueness. ASEAN continues to work to coordinate and cooperate with the United Nations on key global issues in general, and with the counter-terrorism Committees of the Security Council in particular.”

“But we have also worked diligently on a 11-33901 regional basis to complement the efforts of the global community. With this in mind, ASEAN is pleased to announce the imminent entry into force later this month of the ASEAN Convention on Counter Terrorism. This is a very important tool in our arsenal. ASEAN also re-emphasizes the importance of working towards acceding to and ratifying the relevant international instruments on counter-terrorism. During the eighteenth ASEAN Summit in Jakarta last week, ASEAN leaders also agreed to continue promoting the effective implementation of the ASEAN Comprehensive Plan of Action on Counter-Terrorism and to develop initiatives aimed at addressing the root causes of terrorism and conditions that are conducive to terrorism and to promote cooperation on de- radicalization and interfaith dialogues.”

“I have the honour to speak on behalf of the 10 member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Permit me, at the outset, to thank the Chairmen of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) concerning Al-Qaida and the Taliban and associated individuals and entities, the Counter-Terrorism Committee and the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) for their comprehensive and informative briefings. ASEAN is deeply supportive of their work and looks forward to continued cooperation and collaboration with them. Today's meeting comes at a remarkable time for members of ASEAN. For many years, we have recognized the global challenge of terrorism and have worked with the international community in that respect.”

“Let me also underline that it is presently the responsibility of the Transitional Federal Government to steer Somalia through its wide-ranging challenges, now and not later. Somalia, with the support of the international community, must continue charting its path to peace, security, democracy and prosperity in full consonance with the wishes of the Somali citizens.”

“should be provided with the needed resources and equipment in an adequate and predictable fashion. The Security Council should find ways and means to address this precarious circumstance. It has to act with resoluteness. AMISOM should become the nucleus of a future United Nations peacekeeping force in Somalia. The implementation of the incremental approach must therefore be supported. AMISOM. acts on our behalf. It is the duty of the 11-25878 international community, in particular the Security Council, to fulfil its commitment to AMISOM. We need to respond positively to the calls of the African Union. In closing, I wish to commend the work of the personnel of the United Nations, the African Union, humanitarian organizations and other partners who have persevered and continued their work in Somalia despite adverse security conditions.”

“We must accept the fact that many people who become pirates are economically marginalized and have no viable alternative. Therefore, while we are grateful to the Secretary-General for the report, we also look forward to receiving a comprehensive report that will also elaborate the economic difficulties faced by society. Deploying troops and naval armadas would be a solution, but it would be a short-term solution. A comprehensive one would have to include ways to find alternative livelihoods for pirates. Indonesia commends the leading role played by the African Union in deploying its Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and lauds its troop- and police- contributing countries. Like other peacekeeping operations authorized by the Security Council, AMISOM.”

“It is also a matter of concern that, along with the threats to human life inside Somalia, including terrorism, the threats off its coast remain very serious. The internal conflict demands strong local institutions that can cope with the fundamental challenges of governing a country as large and diverse as Somalia. Building effective local institutions is crucial to establishing a viable and peaceful Somalia. Through that avenue, we can see the Government regain its foothold in the country. We share the view that the issue of piracy off the coast of Somalia is not a stand-alone problem. It is an extension of the continuing instability in Somalia. But the issue of piracy, which has vast implications beyond the country's territory, should also not be seen through the single prism of security.”

“The Council might also need to reflect on its fundamental approach and see if it might have overlooked key aspects of the peace process, which has fallen short in terms of bringing tangible results. The report recommended that the constitution-drafting 2 process be inclusive and meet the targets for the political transition. We support that approach, but the constitution should also reflect the wishes of society and the stakeholders, as well as the cultural diversity of the country. Indonesia is deeply concerned for the security and well-being of the Somali people. The humanitarian crisis, worsened by the current drought, has caused additional suffering for the population, a large part of which is already internally displaced.”

“This meeting should be a building block in facilitating the end of conflict and a return to normalcy in Somalia. Added value is key, and it must be of a strategic nature. The report is unequivocally clear on the fact that there are multiple sources of instability. The situation, as the report rightly urges, requires the completion of a comprehensive strategy that addresses the social, political, economic and security issues in Somalia. But before any meaningful progress can be achieved, there must be, first and foremost, genuine and strong political will on the part of all stakeholders, from within and outside Somalia. Allocating time to, and pouring finite resources into, addressing this issue has been the main choice in the context of our work. Unfortunately, however, little headway has been achieved.”

“Let me begin, Mr. President, by expressing our profound appreciation to you for having convened this open debate on the situation in Somalia. Before proceeding, let me convey our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) troop casualties in the wake of the latest deplorable attacks. Two decades of violent conflict have shattered the dreams and lives of innocent Somalis, young and old, including women and children. A child born 20 years ago in Somalia who has lived there throughout his childhood might not be able to envisage an alternative, peaceful life. The list of grievances is indeed long. The many international meetings held, including this one, are replete with such references. More gatherings will be organized in the coming months and years.”

“We hope that 2011 will be the year that history will record as seeing the victory of reason over fear, the victory of humanity over cruelty; the year enabling us to liberate the people of Palestine and to bestow peace and prosperity on them, the year to see two countries living side by side, charting a new phase in their bilateral relationship. The Security Council owes the international community and those two peoples such a desirable and dignified outcome.”

“The need to find a peaceful, just, lasting and comprehensive settlement to the conflict is absolutely critical. The Government of Indonesia is committed to helping to achieve an end to the protracted and bitter conflict that has been wearing on the parties of the region for far too long. Our commitment to and support for the Palestinian cause is total and unwavering. Our commitment to an independent, viable and democratic Palestine, living side by side in peace and security with its neighbours, is absolute. Let me conclude by expressing our fervent hope, which, I believe, is also shared by many here and outside this Chamber. The Palestinian comprehensive plan was launched in August 2009 in preparation for independence within a 24-month period.”

“We also recognize the role of the Quartet in promoting solutions to the conflict in the Middle East. And, not least, we have been persistent in recognizing the contribution of countries in the region and of the League of Arab States to the Middle East peace process, including through the Arab Peace Initiative. It is our View that the peace process and the peace settlement must be aligned. One cannot envisage a peace settlement forced under the threat of the barrel of a gun. That would produce only a short-lived settlement, if not a hazardous one. Nor can one imagine a peace process that lacks the legitimacy conferred by the main parties and the international community. 3 For far too long the Middle East conflict has tarnished the efforts of our era to create a peaceful and liveable region.”

“We hope that this new resolution will reverse the inactivity of the Security Council when it comes to matters relating to the suffering of the Palestinian people. The Council must and indeed can exert a positive influence on the Middle East peace process. At this stage, however, it is hard to imagine that peace can be victorious in the Middle East through a one-time lofty solution. We can always hope for the kind of effort made at Oslo or Madrid or Annapolis, but for the time being we must appreciate positive developments on any scale that keep the peace process in motion. Indonesia therefore supports the current surge in diplomacy aimed at relaunching negotiations and jump-starting a comprehensive peace process, including the ongoing efforts of the United States.”

“The illegal Israeli settlements undermine all efforts to restart peace talks between Palestine and Israel, jeopardizing the vision of a two-State solution and complicating the conflict in the region. We therefore attach primary importance to the role of the Security Council in responding to the settlement issue as it did back in 1980, when it adopted resolution 465 (1980). The Council must regain its role in solving this very important issue, as mandated by the United Nations Charter. It is in this context that Indonesia is co-sponsoring the draft resolution before the Council on the illegal Israeli settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.”

“In the past few weeks, the news emanating from the region has been of grave concern. The acceleration of settlement construction and expansion in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, epitomizes this harrowing trend. The situation was made even worse by the latest military incursion conducted by Israel a few days ago. The international community is very aware of the ultimate objective of these settlement policies and measures. They are clearly aimed at 11-21096 altering the demographic composition, physical character and status of the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. Israel is violating international law and the United Nations Charter.”

“We believe that while the best protection from armed conflict is found in the prevention and resolution of conflict, in the absence of peace we must remain vigilant as to the impact of conflict on the civilian population. We must do our best to protect civilians and minimize human suffering and death. Having said that, let me conclude by stressing that Indonesia values human rights, we value security and we value development. That triangle of goals must be preserved and promoted so that we can unremittingly honour civilians in armed conflict.”

“We note that approach, but accountability will fail to bear fruit unless Member States have the capacity to deliver on their responsibilities. Such capacity can be delivered through international cooperation. That is the logic of cooperation and accountability. States that have capacity must be held accountable. The report clearly describes that Israel has not fully lifted its so-called bureaucratic restrictions that continue to impede the implementation of a humanitarian response commensurate with the existing humanitarian need. Israel has the capacity to fulfil its international obligations, and therefore Israel must be held accountable. We value the Security Council's continued efforts to protect civilians in situations of armed conflict in a way consistent with its Charter-mandated responsibilities.”

“In line with paragraph 34 of resolution 1894 (2009), on consultation and cooperation across the regions, we recently collaborated with the Government of Norway to organize a regional workshop in Jakarta on international humanitarian law and the protection of civilians. It was the first of a series of regional workshops, with two others planned for 2011, one in Africa and the other in Latin America. The goal was to enhance understanding of the application of international humanitarian law in light of the contemporary challenges we face. Thirdly, the Geneva Conventions are the underpinnings of international humanitarian law. The report alludes to cases where humanitarian relief work is impeded, which has led to mounting demands that Member States be made accountable.”

“We Members of the United Nations must have a complete picture of the situation on the ground. Capacity-building to resolve and deter possible conflicts is an important part of the normative framework to protect civilians. For that reason, we support the report's recommendation to increase funding for humanitarian and development actors in the context of the drawdown of United Nations peacekeeping and other relevant operations. Secondly, peacekeepers need to be provided with the resources required to fulfil their mandated tasks. The United Nations should provide a well-defined benchmark for the ratio of peacekeepers to civilians in the assigned areas of deployment. And there is a need to provide peacekeeping missions with appropriate guidelines on the protection of civilians. We need to continue this dialogue across regions.”

“Allow me to express three points on the Secretary-General's first report to stem from resolution 1894 (2009). First, the Council's framework requires a comprehensive approach that embodies the three pillars of the United Nations, namely, human rights, development and security. The report makes a strong case for the link among human rights, humanitarian relief and security efforts. However, there is little mention of development efforts in the report. We can argue that development is not within the purview of the Council. For that matter, neither are human rights and humanitarian issues. They are not, strictly speaking, within the Security Council's mandate. Thus, because we wish to see consistency in the application of the three pillars mentioned earlier, we hope that the next report will also highlight the development aspect.”

“Persistent violations occur that include deliberate targeting of civilians, the indiscriminate and excessive use of force, sexual and gender-based violence, and attacks against relief workers and humanitarian aid convoys, all in violation of international law, human rights law and refugee law. However, we States Members of the United Nations are adamant about respecting and promoting the core principles of the Organization. Human life and human dignity must be at the forefront of our consideration, be that in time of peace or, more importantly, in time of war. That is the core goal of the United Nations. That objective has led us to evoke and build an elaborate architecture for the protection of civilians. That in turn has laid the foundation for the further proliferation of initiatives and measures at the regional and global level.”

“To conclude, let me reiterate that the responsibility to implement relevant Security Council resolutions with a view to enhancing women's participation in peace processes, including the protection of women, rests primarily with the respective Governments. Therefore, achieving sustainable progress in the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) requires national ownership, along with adequate capacity and resources. It is also imperative to take into consideration the specific needs and conditions of each respective country. For this reason, the support of the international community, including civil society networks, continues to be important to achieving this noble goal.”

“The Secretary-General's recommendation to track the implementation of the resolution based on a set of indicators was discussed in a previous debate in April (see S/PV.6302). We take note of the consultations held by the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women with all geographic groups to develop the indicators. Bearing in mind the Secretary- General's notation that the indicators will be operational in two years, we encourage continued consultations with all Member States on their practical application. It is important to take into account the specificities of relevant countries. In order to ensure the United Nations readiness to apply the indicators in the future, efforts must be made to develop working methods within the United Nations system.”

“Excluding or omitting women's participation in conflict resolution processes weakens efforts to increase representation by major stakeholders to achieve sustainable peace based on inclusion of all perspectives. Thus, widening the opportunity for women's participation at various stages of peace and conflict resolution processes demands our continued full support. The Council's adoption of the presidential statement (S/PRST/2010/22) today marks an important step to enhance the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). Looking forward, the Council has recognized the need to implement resolution 1325 (2000) more consistently. One of the areas underlined is the need for timely and systematic reporting on women and peace and security issues.”

“The recently established UN Women will, we hope, therefore contribute to enhancing coherence and coordination in the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). Noting that the resolution has galvanized important efforts at all levels on women, peace and security, it is important for the Council to continue making efforts to ensure its effective implementation. The international community has every interest in ensuring the full involvement of women in all stages of the peace process, peacekeeping and peacebuilding: women as peacemakers, women as peacekeepers and women as peacebuilders. In an era when opportunities and knowledge abound, we find that women's potential contributions to conflict resolution processes have not been adequately harnessed. That represents an enormous deficit in our common efforts.”

“The adoption of resolution 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009) and 1889 (2009), as well as the appointment of Margot Wallstrom as the Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict testify to the Council's deep commitment. Furthermore, Indonesia also takes note of the activities by the United Nations system to implement resolution 1325 (2000) through the System-wide Action Plan, which covers the five pillars of the resolution. Commendable efforts have been made through the Plan. However, as reflected in the Secretary-General's report, despite the increasing number and intensity of activities to implement resolution 1325 (2000), progress has remained slow, fragmented and without clear direction, lacking time- bound goals and targets.”

“That resolution was the culmination of the growing realization of women's diverse roles in and contribution to conflict resolution and building peace. It has been an important complement to the range of international frameworks on women, including the Beijing Platform for Action, which addresses, among other things, women and armed conflict as one of the areas for action. The resolution has galvanized efforts by Member States, the United Nations system and civil society organizations, thus making it one of the most translated resolutions of the Security Council. For the ten years following its adoption, the Security Council's attention towards women's participation in peace processes and the elimination of sexual violence in armed conflict has been unwavering.”

“Let me begin by joining others in expressing our appreciation to you, Mr. President, for convening this open debate marking a decade of our efforts with regard to implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). I also thank the Secretary- General for providing us with his important report (S/2010/498). The participation of several ministers, high-level officials and distinguished speakers in this debate clearly reflects the global commitment to enhancing the role of women at all stages of peace and conflict resolution processes. Our debate comes at a timely juncture, with the recent establishment of UN Women and appointment of Ms. Bachelet, who joined us today for the debate, as its first Under-Secretary-General. Let me reaffirm Indonesia's support for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) on women and peace and security.”

“For the immediate future, we will calibrate our course of action in consultation with Palestine, depending on the direction the direct talks are taking. There is perhaps no international issue more important to Indonesia, and closer to our hearts, than the effort to find a peaceful, just, lasting and comprehensive settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in order to bring to an end the illegal Israeli occupation that began in 1967. Therefore, the commitment of Indonesia to an independent, viable and democratic Palestine living side by side in peace and security with its neighbour is absolute.”
