1. “At the same time, stable development in Afghanistan requires continued long-term international financial support for the Government within the framework of the pledges made at the Tokyo Conference last year. In conclusion, let me reaffirm the constant support of Kyrgyzstan for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and unity ofAfghanistan, as well as our genuine interest in establishing peace and stability in that brotherly country.”

2. “In August, we will also hold a scientific and practical conference on the topic "Afghanistan 2014: prospects for development in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and challenges and threats to the security of Central Asia in the context of the withdrawal of the core contingents of the International Security Assistance Force". We invite interested parties to take part in those events. We support the Istanbul Process and participate in all the working groups on confidence-building measures. We are prepared to actively advance issues relating to the implementation of regional projects on Afghanistan in the areas of energy, transportation and agriculture. Kyrgyzstan will play an active role in the upcoming meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the parties to the Istanbul Process, which is to be held on 26 April in Almaty.”

3. “Afghanistan's involvement in regional cooperation and the broadening of trade and economic ties with neighbouring States is a key condition for the peaceful development of the country. Kyrgyzstan, as a member of a number of regional organizations and the current chair of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Collective Security Treaty Organization, is prepared to contribute to that process. We believe that it is important to actively utilize the capacities of regional organizations in addressing Afghanistan's problems. I would like to inform the Council that Kyrgyzstan is planning to hold a round table on Afghanistan in Bishkek in the near future.”

4. “The comprehensive peace process must be open to all stakeholders in Afghanistan who are prepared to reject violence, break all ties with international terrorism and respect the Constitution of the nation. An equally important component of political reform in Afghanistan will be the April 2014 presidential and legislative elections. The timely finalization of the electoral law, the resolution of problems related to voter registration and the establishment of safe conditions for the holding the elections are critical. Kyrgyzstan welcomes the resolve of the Afghan authorities to hold free, fair and transparent elections, in accordance with national legislation, which can serve as the basis for the continued stable development of Afghanistan.”

5. “Afghanistan's peaceful development will not be possible if the problem of opium production in the country is not eradicated. The spread of that deadly poison also affects the countries of Central Asia, which are on the transit route towards the north to countries of Europe and Asia. We believe that this calls for robust action in the fight against illicit trafficking in drugs in Afghanistan. Efforts to achieve national reconciliation are among the core conditions for ensuring lasting peace in Afghanistan. Kyrgyzstan welcomes the activities of the High Peace Council, chaired by Salahuddin Rabbani, and believes that the process of reconciliation must be implemented by Afghans themselves in the interests of all Afghans.”

6. “We are also witnessing the implementation of the reconciliation process and of international agreements on the economic development of Afghanistan. However, the situation in a number of provinces remains unstable. Clearly, NATO must, with the withdrawal of the military contingent, bring to a logical conclusion its mission to establish the conditions necessary for stability, development and security. The transfer of security responsibilities must be implemented gradually and systematically, while maintaining an atmosphere of calm and trust. The withdrawal ofthe ISAF force cannot be allowed to open the way to destructive forces or to enable extremist or terrorist groups to penetrate neighbouring countries; that is of particular concern to us.”

7. “Mr. Kydyrov (Kyrgyzstan) (spoke in Russian): At the outset, I should like to express our gratitude to the Russian presidency of the Security Council for having convened today's debate. We also thank the Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, for his briefing on the situation on Afghanistan, and his Special Representative, Jan Kubis, for his effective management of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA). We take this opportunity to express our full support for the activities of UNAMA and to welcome the adoption of resolution 2096 (2013), which extends its mandate. Today, Afghanistan is at a critical juncture in its historical development. We are witnessing the withdrawal of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the transfer of responsibilities to the Afghan National Security Forces.”

9. “Accordingly, Kyrgyzstan has made additional efforts for the legal regulation of peacekeeping activities. On 13 July 2012, the President of Kyrgyzstan signed legislation on principles and modalities for the participation of the Kyrgyz Republic in the activities of maintaining international peace and security. In October 2012, the Government of Kyrgyzstan approved regulations on procedures for training military officers to be deployed in United Nations peacekeeping missions. To implement the adopted legislation, Kyrgyzstan is currently considering deploying a military unit in United Nations peacekeeping missions. We greatly appreciate the readiness of DPKO to render assistance to Kyrgyzstan as we undertake those efforts.”

10. “We hope that the working meeting of the CSTO delegation and DPKO on the implementation of the memorandum, which will be held this week, will result in elaborating concrete measures for joint peacekeeping activities. Today, Kyrgyzstan is represented in peacekeeping missions in Liberia, South Sudan, Darfur and Haiti. In recent years, effective cooperation has been established with DPKO, which provides assistance to Kyrgyzstan in training, the expeditious processing of the documents of candidates for peacekeeping missions and expert assessments of the most pressing peacekeeping problems. In our view, more attention should be paid to improving the legal framework for international cooperation and to the development of legislation at the national level.”

11. “We believe that the modern peacekeeping tasks and resource deficits require enhancing cooperation with regional organizations in the framework of their mandates. In that regard, it is important that DPKO, along with its traditional partners, the African Union and the European Union, increase cooperation with other regional structures, in particular the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). Kyrgyzstan welcomes the signing of the memorandum of understanding between the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations in September 2012. That legal framework will allow for the use of United Nations experience in the peacebuilding field.”

12. “It is still imperative to support the global partnership, including strengthening cooperation among the Security Council, the General Assembly, the countries sending peacekeepers and their host States. It is also extremely important that peacekeeping operations be continued with all possible preventive, diplomatic and other measures. The experience of last year's events proves again that we should strictly observe the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. Accordingly, United Nations peacekeeping missions should operate firmly within the framework of the main peacekeeping principles, namely, the consent of the parties, the non-use of force except in self-defence and impartiality.”

13. “We support the measures aimed at strengthening the operational potential of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), especially in promoting women to relevant positions in United Nations peacekeeping missions, including increasing the number of female police officers to 20 per cent by 2014. Other measures include the systematic involvement of peacebuilding elements and implementing better mechanisms in the mobilization of resources for ensuring peacekeeping operations. It is also necessary to effectively implement the global field support strategy in order to improve the quality of services and to carry out the mandate of the missions.”

14. “Let me thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this important debate, since the United Nations peacekeeping operations are one of the main instruments for the effective maintenance of peace and security. In the light of recent events in Africa and in the Middle East, the role of peacekeeping activities is growing. It is therefore necessary to discuss the existing approaches and to outline further tasks. A multilateral dimension requires that United Nations peacekeeping activities should effectively respond to arising conflicts, new political challenges and threats to peace. Today, we can definitely say that the potential of United Nations peacekeeping activities has significantly increased in both quantitative and qualitative terms.”

15. “It is time to decide on the issue of Palestine's accession as a Member ofthe United Nations or granting it non-member State observer status. We have long been waiting to welcome Palestine as a Member of the United Nations. In that regard, Kyrgyzstan considers it extremely important to achieve rapid progress in the peace process and to overcome the current worrisome impasse. We also urge the parties to demonstrate their strong will and unwavering commitment to peace and to eliminate all the obstacles impeding the resumption of direct talks. In conclusion, let me emphasize that the peoples of the Middle East have been suffering from conflict and confrontation for several decades. The time has come to reach a final and comprehensive settlement that would resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

16. “In that connection, we call for a lifting of the blockade of the Gaza Strip and for the delivery of financial and humanitarian assistance to create conditions favourable for development for the Palestinian people. The Middle East Quartet has a strong mandate because of the trust placed in it by the whole international community. It should promptly put inplace all the necessary conditions to enable the two States to find a mutually acceptable resolution. Kyrgyzstan hopes that the Quartet will play an active role in finding a solution suitable to all parties concerned. We are in favour of the settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by political and diplomatic means on the basis of relevant Security Council resolutions, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Quartet's road map.”

17. “We consider it important to continue that process to find ways for a long-term settlement of the situation and to reach apeace agreement providing for the coexistence of two States in peace and security in accordance with previously defined and accepted parameters. We agree with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who stated in his address to the General Assembly that, after decades of harsh occupation and humiliating restrictions in almost every aspect of their lives, the Palestinians must be able to realize their right to a viable State of their own (see A/67/PV.6). In recent months, we have been following with great concern the aggravation of the economic, financial and humanitarian situation in Palestine.”

18. “Unity on the part of the international community is urgently needed to create the conditions to start an inclusive national dialogue among the various political forces and to pursue political, social and economic reforms in the interest of all Syrians. In that regard, we fully support the efforts of Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, Joint Special Representative of the United Nations and the League of Arab States, to explore a peaceful, political solution to the conflict in Syria. The situation in and around Syria should not detract attention from the efforts to resume direct Israeli- Palestinian negotiations.”

19. “I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this important debate at such a crucial time, when major political changes are taking place in the Middle East. We are living in a hightly interlinked world, where events in one region, or even at the local level, might have an influence on world processes. Last year we watched with a sense of sincere empathy and solidarity the events in the Middle East and North Africa. Today's situation in Syria is also a subject of great concern. Attempts to solve the conflict and stabilize the situation in that country have, unfortunately, been unsuccessful so far. Thousands of innocent people have been killed and the number of victims is growing day by day. The Kyrgyz Republic calls for the immediate cessation of Violence in Syria.”

21. “For that reason, the special concept of ethnic development in the consolidation of society was adopted by the Assembly of the Peoples of Kyrgyzstan in 2011, and is now being successfully implemented throughout the country. In conclusion, it is incumbent upon the Security Council to pay due regard to the value of the rule of law as an end as well as a means. Our quest for justice and the rule of law should not be limited to the domestic sphere. The same standards should apply at the international level as well. It is our collective responsibility to manifest a just international order, and thus to empower all peoples on our planet to live in peace and harmony.”

22. “Since 2010, Kyrgyzstan has made significant progress. Despite all the difficulties, my country has adopted a new Constitution, held two successful presidential and parliamentary elections and carried out reforms aimed at the improvement of the judicial system, at increasing the capacity of law enforcement agencies, and at empowering women and youth, as well as ensuring their active involvement in the decision- making process. Today, Kyrgyzstan is deeply committed to enduring legal principles such as due process, equal protection under the law, judicial independence and justice for all. Lasting peace and the reconciliation of society in post-conflict areas is the top priority on the agenda of the Government of Kyrgyzstan.”

23. “As a member and as the Vice-Chair of the Human Rights Council, my country actively stands for the necessity to respect human rights in all situations, including conflict and post-conflict situations. I would like to stress the importance that Kyrgyzstan attaches to justice and the rule of law in rebuilding post-conflict societies as part of a comprehensive approach to peacebuilding strategies aimed at achieving reconciliation, stability and lasting peace. As members are well aware, in 2010, Kyrgyzstan overcame conflict and is now at the stage of post-conflict reconstruction and peacebuilding. We strongly believe that transitional justice and restoring the capacities and the legitimacy of national institutions should continue to be at the very heart of United Nations rule of law efforts.”

Kyrgyzstan recognizes the importance of the United Nations Programme of Assistance in the Teaching, Study, Dissemination and Wider Appreciation of International Law and fully supports the activities of the Rule of Law Coordination and Resource Group, which is responsible for the overall coordination and coherence of the rule of law within the United Nations. We also support the important work done by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, particularly in capacity-building activities to strengthen national rule of law systems and respect for human rights around the world.”

The United Nations Charter clearly indicates that any acts occurring in the world that might lead to a breach of the peace should be settled by peaceful means and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law. In that regard, the role of the International Court of Justice as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations is significant. The Court should be one of the key mechanisms for the peaceful settlement of international disputes.”

I would also like to extend my gratitude to the Secretary-General for his comprehensive statement. Kyrgyzstan welcomes the recent report of the Secretary-General on the subject of the rule of law and transitional justice in conflict and post-conflict societies (S/2011/634*).”

Those documents will stipulate further measures for strengthening the role of women in the area of peace and security, including in the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000).”

28. “We have developed draft legislation on principles and procedures for the participation of the Kyrgyz Republic in the maintenance of international peace and security, which also incorporates a gender perspective. Preventive actions in post-conflict countries, including comprehensive reform of judicial and law enforcement systems, are important as the only way to ensure the rule of law and better protection of the rights of women, particularly in protecting them from violence and increasing their participation in the law enforcement sector. My country believes that positive experience in that area must be mainstreamed and disseminated.”

29. “We also consider it necessary to more actively promote that component in the action strategy of the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia. Kyrgyzstan believes that United Nations peacekeeping operations serve as the main tool for maintaining peace in conflict zones. In that respect, my country supports the efforts to enhance the role of women in the field missions of peacekeeping operations. It would be relevant to expand the targeted training programme for women to relevant positions in United Nations peacekeeping missions. In the future, Kyrgyzstan intends to increase the number of women serving in the military and police contingents of United Nations peacekeeping operations.”

30. “Today, the women's peacekeeping network includes 20 local women's peace committees and serves as the link between local communities and the central Government. Kyrgyzstan believes that the key role in coordinating agreed measures on women's participation in conflict prevention and peacebuilding efforts should be played by the new entity UN-Women. Through close partnerships with UN-Women, UNICEF, the United Nations Development Programme and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, in May the network of Kyrgyzstan women peacekeepers began to implement 11 projects aimed at fostering inter-ethnic harmony and ensuring peace in post-conflict areas of Kyrgyzstan.”

Women also hold posts as ministers, governors and heads of various non-governmental organizations. Following the inter-ethnic conflict in southern Kyrgyzstan in 2010, special importance was given to supporting female initiatives in the area of conflict resolution, peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction. In that difficult time, women activists joined together to form women's peacekeeping networks in order to put an end to conflict and violence and to prevent a recurrence of the tragic events. My country notes the timely and swift reaction of the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund, which funded projects to promote national reconciliation and post- conflict reconstruction.”

Kyrgyzstan welcomes the report of the Secretary-General (S/2011/598*) and his recommendations, including the strategic framework to clearly guide actions to implement resolution 1325 (2000) at the national, regional and global levels in the next 10 years. Kyrgyzstan has made significant headway over the past two years in promoting the participation of women in the country's political life, conducting democratic reforms and peace-based initiatives. The 2010 national referendum resulted in the election of the first female president in Central Asia. Today, women occupy nearly one-third of the parliamentary seats.”

Kyrgyzstan is participating in international efforts to improve the situation in Afghanistan at the bilateral and multilateral levels. In particular, together with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, on 9 July 2010 we began a project for training Afghan customs officials at the customs training centre of the State Customs Service of the Kyrgyz Republic. We believe it is important to expand our partnership in this area.”

35. “Kyrgyzstan intends to actively participate in the initiative and in the activities of the various contact groups on Afghanistan with respect to recovery and development. We believe that this situation can be fundamentally changed by implementing major economic projects in Afghanistan. One such strategic area is the implementation of the Central Asia South Asia Regional Electricity Market Project, or CASA- 1000, which provides for the transmission of electricity from Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to Afghanistan and Pakistan. On 19 and 20 September, Kyrgyzstan held a meeting of the Intergovernmental Board of CASA- 1000 at which a memo of mutual understanding on the electricity transmission project and on further development of the regional electricity market for Central and South Asia.”

36. “A key outcome of its activities was the crafting of the plan of action for the implementation in the Central Asian region of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, whose adoption is planned to take place before the end of the year. We are certain that restoring peace and strengthening Government power in Afghanistan depends not only on the use of force but to a great extent on the pace and methods by which social and economic challenges are addressed. We call on the countries of the region and the international community in the framework of the United Nations to modify the long-term economic recovery programme for Afghanistan so that its implementation will involve all neighbouring and adjacent countries. Cooperation through the New Silk Road initiative is key to the countries of Central Asia is.”

37. “We believe that any decision to withdraw troops of the International Security Assistance Force from Afghanistan should be taken after the situation there has been tangibly stabilized. The key tasks of training and genuinely strengthening the Afghan National Army and Police must also be addressed to ensure that they can assume the functions of ensuring the country's security. Kyrgyzstan favours the effective implementation of the United Nations strategy to combat illegal drug trafficking and transnational crime in Central Asia, and advocates enhanced joint action in this area. The United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy in Central Asia should be an important component in the strengthening of regional security.”

38. “This must include political, economic and humanitarian aspects and calls for joint action by all stakeholders, with the United Nations central among them. Illegal drug-trafficking and organized crime are a serious barrier to development, not only for Afghanistan but also the entire Central Asian region. Kyrgyzstan therefore views the Afghan problem in the regional context, and we welcome the country's participation in regional projects. In the light of new realities, Kyrgyzstan proposes that the international community step up its attention to Afghanistan, particularly in strengthening border security, assisting and countering illegal drug trafficking, training personnel and taking a broader approach to studying the impact of the growth of terrorist or radical groups.”

Kyrgyzstan has a stake in a peaceful and stable Afghanistan. We welcome the efforts of the Government of Afghanistan to pursue democratic reforms and implement a national development plan for the country. We believe that effectively advancing the Kabul process is important. Kyrgyzstan continues to be of the firm view that lasting solutions to the ongoing problems in Afghanistan and effectively tackling transnational challenges requires a systemic and comprehensive approach.”

41. “On the other hand, measures taken at the national level must serve as a necessary component. For example, Kyrgyzstan will make additional efforts towards the legislative regulation of peacekeeping activity at the national level. Currently, a draft law on principles and modalities for the participation of the Kyrgyz Republic in the activities of maintaining international peace and security is being elaborated. The law defines certain basic concepts for the first time, including the components of peacekeeping activity of the Kyrgyz Republic, and the order of formation and deployment of peacekeepers outside the country. It eliminates legal gaps and creates the necessary legal mechanisms.”

42. “The significant growth in the role and scope of peacekeeping operations and their expanded functions require the enhanced effectiveness of regional and subregional organizations. Given the experience of last year's tragic events in Kyrgyzstan, we believe it is important that, along with traditional partners like the African Union and the European Union, the United Nations foster increased cooperation with other regional organizations. In particular, we refer to the Collective Security Treaty Organization in order to enhance the effectiveness of mediation and the peaceful settlement of possible disputes in the region. One of the important lessons which Kyrgyzstan has learned concerns the need to clarify the legal framework for international cooperation, including in the mandates of regional organizations and in non-standard situations.”

It is important that we have an organic system of military, diplomatic and other measures for resolving conflicts. And this will undoubtedly need additional measures in order to develop and implement better mechanisms for mobilizing the resources that peacekeeping operations require. Only then can we expect to see improved effectiveness in peacekeeping and peacebuilding activities.”

In recent years, along with its experience participating in peacekeeping missions, Kyrgyzstan has gained invaluable experience in the fields of preventive diplomacy, peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction during its two people's revolutions, particularly in the fight against terrorism and in combating drug trafficking. As a country ever striving for greater democracy, we are therefore ready to expand our participation in peacekeeping activities in their current forms and within the broad mandate of contributing to the maintenance of peace and security.”

Representatives of the Kyrgyz Republic began participating in United Nations peacekeeping missions in 1998 as military observers and civilian police. Every year since then, we have sent about 30 servicemen and officers from our law- enforcement organizations to peacekeeping missions, mainly in the States of the African continent.”

We also urge the parties to demonstrate their strong will and unwavering commitment to peace and to eliminate all obstacles impeding the resumption of direct talks. For us, it is quite obvious that the continuing construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and those regular announcements of its expansion, will not contribute to an early solution of the problem. Quite the contrary - at least as we have seen from recent events - it leads to even greater disturbances, escalating violence and civilian deaths.”

48. “We consider it important that this process continue in order to find ways to achieve a long-term settlement of the situation and to reach a peace agreement providing for the coexistence of two States in peace and security, in accordance with 2 previously defined and accepted parameters. Kyrgyzstan hopes that the Quartet will play an active role in finding a solution acceptable to all parties concerned. Kyrgyzstan favours the settlement of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict through political diplomatic means on the basis of the relevant Security Council resolutions, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Road Map of the Middle East Quartet. I would like to note that the time to consider the accession of Palestine to membership in the United Nations is rapidly approaching, as we have discussed that issue at length both informally and formally.”

49. “We strongly condemn the use of force against peaceful demonstrations and urge all parties to show utmost restraint. Kyrgyzstan, which has gone through similar revolutionary changes recently, believes that the only way to address these problems is through dialogue and reforms. Kyrgyzstan strongly calls for the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations as soon as possible. In this regard, we support the statement of the Middle East Quartet of 20 May 2011 with an appeal to overcome the current obstacles and resume direct bilateral negotiations without delay. But we regret that the most recent meeting of the Quartet, held on 11 July in Washington, DC, ended without substantive agreement. It is essential that a new meeting be held as soon as possible to take active measures to promote the negotiation process.”

50. “Thank you, Sir, for convening this important debate at such a crucial time, when popular protests and major political changes are continuing in the Middle East. In addition, we do not see any tangible progress in the Israeli-Palestinian political process. The Middle East remains at the centre of the world's attention due to the recent well-known revolutionary upheavals. Despite some undeniable differences, these events have a great deal in common. The causes behind them are based on Governments' inability to adapt to new conditions of social development and to carry out effective reforms. The peoples and Governments of the region face not only tremendous social and political challenges, but also new opportunities and perspectives.”
