  1. “The Second Session of the Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and Other Weapons of Mass Destruction, aimed at elaborating a treaty establishing such a zone, which concluded earlier this month and in which the Arab countries and Iran participated constructively, represents a positive step towards that goal and deserves our full support.”

  2. “In that regard, Tunisia welcomes the bilateral meetings held between various countries of the region during the previous months. We also appreciate all the constructive initiatives aimed at promoting dialogue and trust between the parties concerned, including through the creation of new platforms and mechanisms. Finally, I would like to once again underline the importance of establishing a zone free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East given the key role it could play in global disarmament and non-proliferation efforts, as well as efforts to bring about regional peace, security and stability.”

  3. “We sincerely hope that the ongoing discussions to revive the agreement will soon conclude successfully, and we renew the call for the full and effective implementation of this agreement and of resolution 2231 (2015) by all parties. We once again take note of the differences of interpretation regarding the implementation of the provisions of Annex B of resolution 2231 (2015), in particular with regard to ballistic missile-related activities. While reaffirming the importance of giving due consideration to the concerns expressed, including regarding regional security issues, we urge all parties to refrain from all activities and rhetoric that could deepen mistrust or aggravate tensions and to engage in good faith in dialogue and negotiations to resolves their differences.”

  4. “I would like to thank Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs; Ambassador Olof Skoog, Head of the Delegation of the European Union to the United Nations; and Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason, Permanent Representative of Ireland and Security Council Facilitator for the implementation of resolution 2231 (2015), for their detailed briefings. I also welcome the participation of the representatives of Germany and Iran to this meeting. Tunisia shares the view that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is an important addition to the global non-proliferation architecture and that it remains the best way to continue to guarantee the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear programme.”

  6. “Fourthly, the Security Council should further consider and incorporate a gender dimension when addressing the issues related to small arms and light weapons, Last but not least, the Security Council should continue to support the implementation of the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects and the International Instrument to Enable States to Identify and Trace, in a Timely and Reliable Manner, Illicit Small Arms and Light Weapons, as well as relevant disarmament and arms control instruments.”

  7. “Thirdly, the Security Council should continue to support regional efforts for conflict prevention and arms control, as it did in 2019 when it adopted resolution 2457 (2019), upholding the African Union’s Silencing the Guns by 2020 initiative. In that regard, we welcome the continued contributions of the United Nations and international partners to the implementation of that initiative.”

  8. “Secondly, United Nations peace operations should be well resourced and trained not only to be able to properly control their own weapons and ammunition, but also to be in a position to contribute to the reinforcement of the capacities of host Governments in fields such as the treatment of recovered illicit weapons and ammunition, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and security sector reform. The mandates of United Nations missions could also be strengthened to include, where relevant, the identification of the sources of illicit arms flows, measures to disrupt those flows and the monitoring of arms embargoes.”

  9. “First, the Security Council should ensure the implementation of the arms embargoes upon which it decides. It is indeed deeply concerning that arms embargoes, which can play an important role in countering the illicit transfer of small arms and light weapons, continue in many cases to be violated, sometimes openly. The timely exchange of information among Member States, panels of experts, peace missions and other United Nations entities on such violations should be encouraged to facilitate the identification and the dismantling of the illicit sources of transfer.”

  10. “As underlined on many occasions, the illicit transfer, diversion and use of small arms and light weapons continue to represent a major threat to international peace and security by fuelling armed conflicts in many countries and regions, aggravating humanitarian crises, enabling terrorist and transnational criminal organizations and undermining respect for human rights, in addition to hindering peacebuilding and socioeconomic development efforts. We reiterate the view that issues related to the illicit transfer, diversion and use of small arms and light weapons should be addressed by the Security Council in a more effective and holistic manner. In that regard, we welcome the recommendations made by the Secretary- General in his successive reports to the Council, and we would like to stress the following points.”

  11. “We thank Mexico for scheduling this open debate focusing on the impact of the diversion and trafficking of small arms on peace and security. We would also like to welcome your participation, Mr. Minister, at today’s meeting. I would also like to thank Mr. Robin Geiss, Director of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research, and Ms. María Pía Devoto, member of the Control Arms Governance Board, for their briefings.”
