  1. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate our strong commitment to carrying on the fight against terrorism and violent extremism on the national, regional and global levels. We firmly believe that it is the obligation and responsibility of all States Members of the United Nations and the international community to remain mobilized to prevent the further spread of and eradicate this global menace.

  2. It should also explore the possibility of assisting the countries in the region in the implementation of resolution 2178 (2014) on effectively addressing the threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters. At the same time, we clearly understand that in order to eradicate the phenomenon of terrorism, including foreign terrorist fighters, we must address its underlying causes. It is well known that the emergence of terrorism and extremism is fuelled by poverty, social injustice and the absence of the rule of law as well as low literacy and unemployment, especially among young people. Therefore, there is a need to take those aspects into account in our strategies and programmes.

  3. It will require more effective regional cooperation and the development of more coordinated and practical measures within the framework of anti-terrorist structures of such regional organizations as the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and the Commonwealth of Independent States. We believe that strengthening regional cooperation will make a practical contribution to global efforts to counter terrorism and violent extremism. Kyrgyzstan supports the activities of the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia, upon which we call to draw special attention to these issues.

  4. Our region is no exception in that regard. In his address to the Permanent Council of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe on 6 November, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon emphasized that the impact of the transition in Afghanistan on Central Asia is also a leading concern. We fully agree with that assessment of the situation in the region. Today, strengthening regional security is a priority in Central Asia, where terrorist and narcotic threats emanating from Afghanistan are major destabilizing factors, especially with the withdrawal of the International Security Assistance Force. The situation is worsening with the threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters.

    2014-11-19 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7316 (2014) · source

  5. In that regard, resolution 2178 (2014), adopted at the Security Council summit on 24 September (see S/PV.7272), on addressing the threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters was timely and very important. Kyrgyzstan fully shares the need to take both urgent and preventive measures in the long term to deal with the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters. Kyrgyzstan is taking steps to implement resolution 2178 (2014) in accordance with Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. We consider it crucial to mainstream measures relating to the implementation of the resolution's paragraph 14, which calls for building the capacity of States to address the threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters. The modern world is going through a difficult period characterized by increasing instability both at the regional and international levels.

    2014-11-19 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7316 (2014) · source

  6. We witness atrocities committed by terrorist groups like the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the Al-Nusra Front and Boko Haram and their attempts to influence conflicts. The Monitoring Team of the Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011) concerning Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities estimates that more than 13,000 foreign terrorist fighters from over 80 Member States have joined ISIL and the Al-Nusra Front cannot but cause serious concern. The participation of such fighters in terrorist groups on an unprecedented scale is aggravating not only the conflicts themselves, but the humanitarian, social, economic and human rights situations as well. There is no doubt that after returning to their home countries, those terrorist fighters will continue to present a serious danger.

  7. We should firmly continue our efforts to implement the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, which has provided a solid foundation for a comprehensive response to international terrorism and violent extremism at all levels. In that context, we welcome General Assembly resolution 68/276, on the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy Review, adopted in June this year. To achieve our goals, it is important to keep the Strategy relevant and strengthen coordination in the light of emerging new threats and evolving trends in international terrorism and violent extremism. The current situation in the world demonstrates that acts of terrorism and violent extremism are increasing and negatively influencing stability, security and development.

  8. At the outset, Madam President, I should like to thank you for having organized this important debate. Today terrorism has become one of the gravest threats to international peace and security. Kyrgyzstan condemns and rejects terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. As a global, transnational phenomenon, it should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization or ethnic group, and can be successfully countered only through the strengthening of international cooperation. In this regard, Kyrgyzstan reiterates its resolute support for all measures and legal instruments adopted within the framework of the United Nations to combat international terrorism and violent extremism.

    2014-11-19 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7316 (2014) · source

  9. We express our readiness to use the potential of the coordinated work of the CSTO in our foreign policy in order to enhance security and stability in Afghanistan and in the region as a whole.

    2014-06-25 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7208 (2014) · source

  10. The member States of the CSTO reiterate their readiness to continue to support Afghanistan's counter- narcotic efforts, including by training specialists for law enforcement structures at national training centres, providing necessary equipment and maintaining the permanent anti-narcotics mechanism Operation Canal, which was set up as part of the preventive operations established under the aegis of the CSTO. We are ready to enhance cooperation with the Afghan people, United Nations specialized agencies, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and other interested parties. We call for enhancing international and regional cooperation in order to effectively and jointly counteract the drug threat emerging from Afghanistan, in line with the principle of common and shared responsibility.

    2014-06-25 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7208 (2014) · source

  11. We support the important role of United Nations agencies and UNODC in monitoring the drug situation in Afghanistan and in helping to ensure security, stability and socioeconomic developent in the country. A significant contribution to addressing that can be made by bolstering bilateral and multilateral cooperation between Afghanistan and other countries in the region. We reiterate our commitment to combating the illicit drug trade and using the potential of regional cooperational to combat Afghan drug trafficking. We therefore accord great importance to the specialized regional structures that work closely with UNODC. In November 2007, the Central Asian Regional Information and Coordination Centre for monitoring trafficking in illicit substances and their precursors was established in Almaty.

  12. The cultivation, production, illegal trafficking and consumption of opium in Afghanistan continue to pose a serious threat to stability, security, socioeconomic development and governance in thatcountry, the region and the world as a whole. The member States of the CSTO strongly belive that the production, trade and trafficking of illicit drugs from Afghanstan represent a threat to international stability and provide a breeding ground for international terrorism and organized crime. Combating the drug threat is one of the main components for achieving stability and security in Afghanistan and is an intrinsic part of our overall efforts to combat the terrorist threat, including a possible worsening of the situation given the upcoming withdrawal from the country this year of the International Security Assistance Force.

    2014-06-25 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7208 (2014) · source

  13. A major challenge at this stage is clearly the problem of illegal drug production and drug trafficking. The strong connection between terrorism and illegal Afghan drug production is particulary alarming, because it undermines Afghan achievements in the sphere of security and its capacity to ensure law and order in the country. We note with concern funding and support for terrorist activities, including income from the cultivation, production and trafficking in illicit narcotics as a country of origin or transit, which Afghanistan is, as well as illicit delivery to the country of precursors. The member States of the CSTO also express their concern at the growth in the production of opium poppy that was noted in the report Afghanistan Opium Survey 2013, published by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

    2014-06-25 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7208 (2014) · source

  14. We suggest that this process should be carried out under the leadership of Kabul and on the basis of three well-known principles, namely, that the rebels must lay down their arms, recognize the Constitution of Afghanistan and sever their ties to Al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations. The member States of the CSTO are convinced that it will not be possible to stabilize the situation in Afghanistan in the long term or to effectively address the challenges facing the country without a comprehensive approach to existing problems. We are gravely concerned by the surge in the activities of the Taliban, Al-Qaida and other terrorist and extremist groups, illegal armed bands and criminal elements, and in particular by their spread to the northern regions of the country, which directly affects the interests of this Organization in that zone.

    2014-06-25 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7208 (2014) · source

  15. We pay tribute to the efforts of the Afghan people themselves, who have striven in the face of numerous challenges to determine their own future and to assume ownership of their own development and security. In that context, we note the successful holding of the second round of the presidential elections on 14 June. We hope that at this historic turning-point in their country's history, the people of Afghanistan will come together to address the challenges and ensure the equality of all, respect for the law and the rights of various groups, and justice and harmony. The member States of the CSTO fully support the efforts of the Afghan Government to move towards national reconciliation.

  16. Mr. Kydyrov (Kyrgyzstan) (spoke in Russian): I should like, at the outset, to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Jan Kubis; the Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Mr. Yury Fedotov; and Ambassador Tanin for their substantive statements. I have the honour today to speak on behalf of the member States of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). The CSTO member States support the role of the United Nations in coordinating international efforts to support Afghanistan. We endorse the approach of the Afghan leadership to ensure the country's progress towards peace, stability, prosperity and broad cooperation with regional neighbours.

  17. It calls on the international community to continue the active sharing of experience and knowledge so as to effectively resolve the problems of uranium and other radioactive and toxic tailings in Central Asia. In conclusion, let me reiterate that Kyrgyzstan supports the full implementation resolution 1540 (2004) and remains firmly committed to the global non-proliferation and disarmament architecture.

    2014-05-07 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7169 (2014) · source

  18. Kyrgyzstan, as the depositary country of the Treaty, welcomes the signing by the nuclear-weapon States of the protocol on negative security assurances. We call for its early ratification by the nuclear five. It will mark an important milestone for strengthening both regional security in Central Asia and the global nuclear non-proliferation regime. Kyrgyzstan attaches great importance to the issue of mitigating the environmental consequences of uranium mining and associated nuclear fuel cycle activities in the production of nuclear weapons. In this regard, I would like to refer to General Assembly resolution 68/218 of December 2013, entitled "The role of the international community in averting the radiation threat in Central Asia".

    2014-05-07 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7169 (2014) · source

  19. I would like to underline that the national action plan was developed on the basis ofthe idea that countries with the appropriate capacities may provide assistance to other States that need help in implementing the resolution. In this regard, Kyrgyzstan has submitted to the 1540 Committee a request for technical and financial assistance. I take this opportunity to thank those countries and organizations that have offered their assistance in implementing the national action plan and express our readiness for further cooperation in this sphere. One of the most promising approaches to disarmament and non-proliferation is the creation of nuclear-weapon-free zones. The Kyrgyz Republic takes pride in the entry into force in 2009 of the Treaty on a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in Central Asia.

    2014-05-07 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7169 (2014) · source

  20. Furthermore, on 2 April 2013, the Kyrgyz Republic submitted its national plan of action on implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). The plan was developed by the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic with the support of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) and the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs. Civil society also played an active role in preparing the plan. It includes specific measures and concrete actions for the implementation the resolution and identifies the State agencies responsible for implementing them in a specific timeframe.

  21. Fully recognizing the dangers that the possession of weapons of mass destruction by terrorist groups would pose, the Kyrgyz Republic signed the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism. Resolution 1540 (2004) is an international legal and political instrument of great significance that has the real potential to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The Kyrgyz Republic is taking consistent measures to effectively implement it. My country is among the 172 Member States that have presented their implementation reports so far. Pursuant to paragraph four of the resolution, Kyrgyzstan has submitted its initial report and additional information three times, in 2004, 2006 and 2008.

    2014-05-07 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7169 (2014) · source

  22. It undertakes effective measures to bolster the national export control regime and to strengthen oversight and monitoring of the flow of materials and equipment used in the development and manufacture of weapons of mass destruction. Kyrgyzstan has ratified the primary international agreements on non-proliferation and regards international safeguards and the physical protection of nuclear materials and facilities as the first line of defence against nuclear terrorism. The Kyrgyz Republic also supports efforts to strengthen the Convention on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material in order to address the proliferation challenges posed by non-State actors. We welcome the practical measures identified in the communiques ofthe 2010, 2012 and 2014 Nuclear Security Summits.

    2014-05-07 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7169 (2014) · source

  23. At the outset, I would like to thank you, Madam, for having convened this open debate on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction - an issue of great importance for all Member States, including the Kyrgyz Republic. We welcome the statement by the President of the Security Council adopted this morning (S/PRST/2014/7) on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1540 (2004). The commitment to the non-proliferation of weapons ofmass destruction is a fundamental principle of the foreign and domestic policy of my country. Kyrgyzstan does not possess nuclear, chemical or biological weapons or their means of delivery.

  24. In conclusion, let me reiterate our strong conviction that the Middle East Quartet, which has a strong mandate of trust from the whole international community, should play a more active role in the peace process to help both parties reach a final and comprehensive settlement.

    2013-10-22 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7047 (2013) · source

  25. We support the efforts being made by the United States in that regard, including the series of high-level negotiations carried out by the United States President and the Secretary of State with their Palestinian and Israeli counterparts in September. At the same time, we express serious concern about continued illegal actions by Israel, such as the killing of innocent Palestinians, its settlement activities in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the hampering of aid deliveries to those in need, the ill-treatment of prisoners, forced evictions and the excessive use of force.

    2013-10-22 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7047 (2013) · source

  26. We wholeheartedly welcome the resumption, in late July, of direct talks between Israel and Palestine. Those United States-brokered peace talks are of significant importance for both parties. As United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Robert Serry rightly told the Council on 17 September (see S/PV.7032), momentous and sustained efforts will be necessary to successfully conclude negotiations within the nine-month deadline set for achieving a comprehensive settlement. We consider it important to continue that process in order to find ways to achieve a long-term settlement and to reach an agreement that provides for the coexistence of two States living in peace and security in accordance with previously defined and accepted parameters.

    2013-10-22 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7047 (2013) · source

  27. The need to avoid external interference, especially by force, unauthorized by the Security Council and to engage in political dialogue on the basis of the Geneva communique of 30 June 2012 (S/2012/522, annex), has been expressed in the declarations ofthe Heads of States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) adopted, respectively, during recent high-level summits in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, and Sochi, Russian Federation. The member States of the SCO and CSTO voiced their support for the convening of the second international Geneva conference to lay a foundation for Syria's reconciliation and normalization. The situation in and around Syria should not distract our attention from the Israeli-Palestinian question.

    2013-10-22 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7047 (2013) · source

  28. We welcome Syria's adherence to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction. Kyrgyzstan is strongly convinced that more efforts should be undertaken by all the parties concerned to resolve the crisis while preserving Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, without military interference from the outside.

    2013-10-22 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7047 (2013) · source

  29. The ongoing armed conflict in Syria is of the utmost concern to each and every one of us. The attempts by the international community to resolve the conflict and restore stability in that country remain insufficient. Kyrgyzstan once again expresses its serious concern over the numerous victims of the armed conflict, the humanitarian catastrophe and the further escalation of the crisis. We call on both sides to immediately implement a ceasefire and to resolve the crisis peacefully by conducting a dialogue among all the political forces of the country under the mediation of the United Nations. We support the recent agreement on Syria's chemical weapons reached between United States and Russia, and subsequently endorsed by the Security Council.

    2013-10-22 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7047 (2013) · source

  30. I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this quarterly debate. I also thank Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman for his comprehensive briefing. Let me begin by congratulating the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on recently having been awarded the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize. That timely and important recognition is testimony to the significant work being carried out by that organization around the world, especially in the Syrian Arab Republic during the past several weeks. In that context, we would like to express our full support for the decision taken by the Security Council on 11 October whereby a first-of-its-kind OPCW- United Nations Joint Mission in Syria was endorsed and entrusted with a multiphase mission to carry out resolution 2118 (2013).

    2013-10-22 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7047 (2013) · source

  31. We are confident that the outcome of the Bishkek summit will form an appropriate basis on which long-term security in the region and expanding trade and economic, cultural and humanitarian relations will be ensured.

    2013-08-06 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7015Resumption1 (2013) · source

  32. A close interaction has been established between our Organization and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. We are convinced that further strengthening of the partnership between the United Nations and the SCO will contribute to the realization of the goals and objectives of the United Nations with a view to deepening comprehensive cooperation aimed at tackling the political, economic, social, cultural and humanitarian problems of the modern world. The forthcoming summit of the SCO heads of State on 13 September in Bishkek in the Kyrgyz Republic is aimed at giving a new impetus to furthering the development of the organization and the strengthening of its standing in the international arena.

    2013-08-06 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7015Resumption1 (2013) · source

  33. Another important document is the protocol on cooperation between the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure and the UNODC. Important elements of effective regional cooperation include consistent implementation of the 2011-2016 Anti-Drug Strategy and Action Plan, the creation of an effective system of joint countermeasures aimed at combating the drug threat and establishing reliable barriers to the illicit trafficking of narcotic drugs, psychoactive substances and their precursors. In order to actively contribute to the economic development of the countries of the region and boost the welfare of its peoples, the economic component of the cooperation among the SCO countries continues to play a pivotal role.

    2013-08-06 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7015Resumption1 (2013) · source

  34. Our organization has had observer status in the General Assembly since 2004, and the Assembly has adopted three resolutions on cooperation between our organizations. The Joint Declaration on Ccooperation, signed in Tashkent in 2010, between the secretariats of the two organizations is a good illustration of the growing authority ofthe SCO, its focus on the expansion of external relations and the creation of a partnership network of multilateral organizations and forums. The memorandum of understanding between the SCO secretariat and the UNODC was signed with a View to enhancing the cooperation between the United Nations and the SCO. It aims specifically at effectively tackling the problems of the production, trade and trafficking of narcotic drugs originating in Afghanistan.

    2013-08-06 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7015Resumption1 (2013) · source

  35. Tackling problems of international information security is also a priority. At the July meeting of the SCO Council of Foreign Ministers, it was stressed that peace and stability in the whole region depends on the situation in Afghanistan. The central role of the United Nations in international efforts to achieve an Afghan settlement was confirmed, and we expressed our support for the aspirations of the peoples of Afghanistan for peaceful recovery and revival. The SCO supports efforts to make Afghanistan an independent, peaceful, neutral and prosperous country free of terrorism and drug-related crime. Cooperation between the SCO and the United Nations has a solid international legal basis.

    2013-08-06 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7015Resumption1 (2013) · source

  36. The aspirations of the SCO member States are closely interlinked with the goals and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. We seek to transform the SCO area into a region of lasting peace, friendship and prosperity. General Assembly resolution 67/15 on cooperation between the United Nations and the SCO, adopted in November last year, acknowledged the important role of the SCO in securing peace and sustainable development, advancing regional cooperation and strengthening good-neighbourliness and mutual trust. We are developing our cooperation in the area of counter-terrorism and the fight against separatism and extremism; inter alia, we have created the Regional Anti-Terrorism Structure. Some other areas of cooperation include non-proliferation and combating transnational organized crime.

    2013-08-06 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7015Resumption1 (2013) · source

  37. The results of the CSTO's activities reflect the genuine potential for interaction with the United Nations on the basis of the principles of partnership and complementarity of efforts. (spoke in English) I now have the honour to make a statement on behalf of the member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO): China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. I also have the honour to confirm that all members of our regional organization accord special attention to strengthening cooperation with the United Nations, in accordance with Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations. We are united in our understanding that, in accordance with the Charter, the Security Council bears the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security.

    2013-08-06 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7015Resumption1 (2013) · source

  38. That document paves the way for practical cooperation in the field of peacekeeping. The CSTO peacekeeping mechanism offers the possibility of using the Organization's capabilities in peacekeeping operations, including under the auspices of the United Nations. In that regard, it is worth remembering that the goals of the CSTO, which has become an international regional organization with the entry into force of its Charter on 18 September 2003, are to strengthen peace and international and regional stability, and to collectively protect the independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of its member States. Moreover, the priority for CSTO members in achieving those objectives is to use political means in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.

  39. Operation Canal, as well as the assistance provided by CSTO member States in connection with the transit of cargo for the international forces in Afghanistan, is an example of effective interaction among CSTO member States in countering the threats and challenges to security emanating from Afghanistan. We believe that the need for the coordination of approaches and for the development and implementation ofan agreed approach to Afghanistan by all international players that care about the country is deeply relevant. Among the most promising areas ofcooperation between the United Nations and the CSTO is peacekeeping. A significant contribution to interaction in that respect was the signing in September 2012 of a memorandum ofunderstanding between the CSTO secretariat and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations of the United Nations.

    2013-08-06 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7015Resumption1 (2013) · source

  40. In the light of the dynamics of development in Afghanistan, we have seen a productive continuation of the contacts between the CSTO and the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia as well as the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. We have established useful contacts with the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations and with the Counter-Terrorism Committee and its Executive Directorate. The CSTO's successes also include interaction with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). We have conducted exchanges of information and participated in the CSTO's pre-emptive counter-narcotics Operation Canal.

    2013-08-06 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7015Resumption1 (2013) · source

  41. In December 2004 our organization was granted observer status in the General Assembly. The significance of the interaction between the United Nations and the CSTO was highlighted by the adoption of resolutions at the sixty-fourth, sixty-fifth and sixty-seventh sessions of the General Assembly on cooperation between the United Nations and the CSTO. Those documents represented a recognition of the rich potential of comprehensive interaction between the two organizations and galvanized its intensification. The development of contacts also was expressed in the signing of a joint declaration on cooperation between the secretariats of the two organizations in March 2010. Meetings between the Secretaries-General of the two organizations are now held on a regular basis.

  42. The CSTO plays a pivotal role in ensuring peace and stability in its area of operations. The CSTO, which has emerged as a political and legal instrument of mutual assistance in the event of foreign aggression, has in the 10 years of its existence fundamentally changed; it has become a key player in the emergence of the system of collective security in the CIS space. Today the CSTO is a multifunctional structure with the potential for a rapid response to a plethora of threats and challenges. The CSTO plays a significant role in combating terrorism, illegal drug trafficking, organized crime and illegal migration, including with a View to strengthening security and stability in Central Asia. We note with satisfaction the progressive development of interaction between the United Nations and the CSTO.

    2013-08-06 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7015Resumption1 (2013) · source

  43. It commands universal legitimacy and has at its disposal the powers required to respond appropriately to the multitude of contemporary threats and challenges. At the same time, a milestone in the current stage of development of international relations has been the growing influence of regional organizations. In this day and age, the effective work of regional entities is an important component in the emergence of a new global architecture, and their efforts on the basis of the provisions of Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations have significantly aided the United Nations in carrying out the functions and powers vested in it by the international community. A key role in such processes has been played by the associations and organizations active in the Commonwealth of Independent States space, including the CSTO.

  44. Mr. Kydyrov (Kyrgyzstan) (spoke in Russian): Allow me at the outset to voice my gratitude to the Argentine presidency of the Security Council for having convened this open debate on a theme that is so important to the international community. I should like also to point out that Kyrgyzstan is currently chairing two organizations, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and that my statement will consist of two parts, one on behalf of each organization. It is my honour to speak on behalf of the member States of the CSTO: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan. The members of our regional organization believe that the United Nations is the linchpin of international relations and equitable international cooperation.

  45. We would also like to note the activities of the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia, in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme and United Nations agencies, in promoting conflict prevention initiatives and strengthened inter-ethnic harmony. In conclusion, I would like to reaffirm Kyrgyzstan's commitment to further contribute to United Nations efforts in ensuring women's rights and eradicating conflict-related violence.

In addition, on 10 April, the President of the Kyrgyz Republic approved a concept on strengthening the unity of the people and inter-ethnic relations in the Kyrgyz Republic, which will undoubtedly contribute to strengthening peace, stability and post-conflict reconstruction. The role of the Peacebuilding Fund is of great importance. The Fund has supported Kyrgyzstan in its implementation of national reconciliation and post- conflict reconstruction projects.

Kyrgyzstan welcomes the efforts of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations in preventing violence against women in armed conflict.

  50. At the outset, I would like to thank the Rwandan presidency of the Security Council for organizing this timely and important debate. Kyrgyzstan welcomes the report of the Secretary- General (S/2012/732), which contains a comprehensive analysis of the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) and the progress achieved over the past year. My delegation also welcomes his report on sexual violence in conflict (S/2013/149) and supports the recommendations contained therein. However, we believe that current situations in the Middle East and in some countries in the African region require further consolidated efforts by Member States and by global and regional security structures.
