  1. “The immediate start of direct negotiations and, as a result, the speedy implementation of agreements, in the first place, will allow us to solve the confidence-deficit problem and enable us to move to a more open dialogue between the two sides. It is necessary to identify mutually acceptable principles for the advancement of the Palestinian-Israeli peace process. Lastly, we once again reiterate our call to ensure Israel's right to security as well as Palestine's right to statehood, using appropriate instruments of preventive diplomacy, including political, economic and environmental confidence-building measures, as well as addressing new challenges and threats. We are ready to work towards finding common ground and look forward to effectively cooperating with a View to bringing peace and security both to Palestinians and Israelis.”

  2. “Mycountryunderscorestheimportanceofachieving intra-Palestinian unity. Investments in building strong Palestinian institutions and promoting reforms in the security sector - the military, law enforcement and judicial and correctional systems - will, together with new legislation, ensure the rule of law and good governance. Our colleagues from United Nations humanitarian agencies informed us that the Central Emergency Response Fund had recently allocated $1.26 million for Gaza. Those funds are meant to strengthen and reinforce the rapid procurement of essential medical supplies and their distribution to critical hospitals providing trauma care - all of which is critical to relieving the suffering of the population.”

  3. “Palestine and Israel must respect each other's right to existence and avoid taking actions that might further escalate the situation. We look forward to implementation of the provisions of resolution 2334 (2016), and we would like to stress that the construction of new Israeli settlements is causing hardships for the Palestinians, who are incurring huge economic losses. Turning to Gaza, we are alarmed by the situation there. We support the Egyptian and the international efforts to ease the situation in that sector. With regard to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, Kazakhstan reiterates the need to support this important mechanism. We will therefore make another voluntary financial contribution to the organization this year.”

  4. “Kazakhstan's position on the Middle East peace process is clear and remains unchanged. We support the two-State solution and call for the early resumption of negotiations, especially in the bilateral format and without preconditions. That should be done in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, the relevant Security Council resolutions, and other mechanisms and initiatives, such as the Quartet road map, the Arab Peace Initiative, the Madrid principles and the land-in-exchange-for-peace formula. We support the rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination and the creation of a free, sovereign and independent State within the international borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital. Jerusalem is the common homeland of different ethnicities and religions.”

  5. “We thank the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Mr. Mladenov, for his detailed and objective update on the situation in the Middle East. We are closely following his efforts and negotiations held with the key countries on this issue. We appreciate the positive outcome of his meeting in Moscow with the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Mr. Sergey Lavrov. We echo the warnings of the United Nations that there is a cycle of conflagration of conflicts currently in the Middle East. There are rising tensions at all levels and in various contexts, including the situations in Syria and in Yemen, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. We are particularly concerned about the move of the United States Embassy to Jerusalem on 14 May, and the clashes in Gaza, which resulted in casualties among Palestinians.”

  7. “We also contribute to reintegration programmes for children and actively advocate for the gender equality and economic independence of Afghan women. With that in mind, this year Kazakhstan will convene the high-level international conference on the theme "Empowering women in Afghanistan", aimed at strengthening the status of Afghan women. To conclude, Kazakhstan pays tribute to the noble work of the ICRC and other humanitarian and human rights organizations. We believe that all the challenges I mentioned can be effectively addressed only by bringing together Member States, international, regional and local stakeholders and humanitarian and civil society organizations and by building trust among them.”

  8. “Fifthly, as the Secretary-General underscored, the international community should focus on preventive measures, including tackling the root causes of conflict, peacebuilding and economic development. My country is committed to enhancing regional stability, using a three-pronged strategy to resolve regional conflicts through the security-development nexus, a regional approach and the United Nations Delivering as One initiative. In our region, we are focusing on Afghanistan, where more than 10,000 civilians lost their lives or suffered injuries during 2017. We provide humanitarian aid, development and technical assistance to Afghanistan, with special attention to women, youth and children. We are implementing a scholarship programme for Afghan students.”

  9. “We also call on the United Nations system, regional organizations, the international community and donors to provide the necessary technical and financial support to Member States. Women, children, internally displaced persons and persons with disabilities continue to be disproportionately affected by armed conflict and need our special attention. All humanitarian responses therefore must address the needs of vulnerable groups, including access to essential medical care. Victims of landmines and other munitions and the indirect effects of armed conflict, such as disease, malnutrition and famine, also need special medical care and specialized services.”

  10. “Peacekeeping operations also need to implement the recommendations of the Santos Cruz report aimed at changing how the United Nations works in high-risk peacekeeping operations. We must also actively use non-military protection tools, including unarmed civilian protection. Fourthly, the protection of civilians is primarily the responsibility of the host country. Member States therefore need to develop national compliance frameworks, which should include capacity-building, strengthening the rule of law, comprehensive security sector reforms and good governance, as well as the adoption of legislation that conditions the export of arms. Kazakhstan acceded to the Arms Trade Treaty in December 2017, and calls on others to do the same.”

  11. “In that regard, in October 2017, we signed the French-led declaration on the protection of humanitarian and medical personnel in conflict. Thirdly, United Nations peace operations should give priority to the protection of civilians. A whole-of- system approach, close cooperation among all components, operational clarity on the formulation and implementation of mandates and forging relationships with local populations are all important. Our delegation also believes that, in order for them to be sustained, mandates to protect civilians must be linked to a comprehensive political strategy. We therefore underscore the importance of implementing the relevant recommendations of the High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations.”

  12. “The United Nations, the Council and the global community should actively advocate enhancing respect for international humanitarian law, including on provision of impartial medical care and unimpeded access to humanitarian aid. Improved data collection also needs to be promoted. Secondly, the survival of injured victims depends upon operational medical facilities and medical personnel. Kazakhstan co-sponsored resolution 2286 (2016), the unanimous adoption of which reflected the Council's unity in committing to the protection of humankind in war. However, health-care personnel and facilities remain under fire in a number of conflicts, and the effective implementation of resolution 2286 (2016) becomes even more necessary.”

  13. “Such fatalities and gross violations of international humanitarian and human rights law are accompanied by large-scale forced displacements that have led to a global protection crisis. My delegation supports the recommendations on the three protection priorities set forth in the Secretary- General's latest report (S/2018/462) and would like to make the following observations for consideration by the Security Council. First, ensuring compliance with international humanitarian law and enhancing accountability are critical for strengthening the protection of civilians. All serious violations of international humanitarian law must be investigated, and perpetrators must be brought to justice, in order to end all forms of impunity.”

  14. “I thank the presidency of Poland and the Polish Minister for Foreign Affairs, His Excellency Mr. Jacek Czaputowicz, for putting the spotlight on the protection of civilians in armed conflict, and the Secretary-General for his insightful recommendations. We also express warm appreciation to the Director-General of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Mr. Yves Daccord, and the civil society representative from Iraq, Ms. Hanaa Edwar, for their comprehensive briefings. Statistics show that about 75 per cent of all war victims are civilians. The impact of conflict on civilians is particularly severe due to the hostilities in urban areas, excessive use of explosive weapons and increased use of improvised explosive devices by non-State armed groups.”
