  1. “The State of Qatar, in cooperation with most Arab States and a large number of other States, is submitting a draft resolution to the General Assembly aimed at supporting international, regional and United Nations efforts to achieve a political solution to the Syrian crisis. In that regard, we would like to note that we believe that it is of utmost importance for the Security Council to take unified action to put an end to the humanitarian catastrophe. The failure of the Security Council to take a position, stop the crisis and protect the Syrian people, as well as the Council's failure to deal effectively with the Palestinian cause, will have very dangerous repercussions for the Middle East region as a whole.”

  2. “Facing the urgency of the crisis, the Arab League has, from the very beginning, exerted efforts to create an atmosphere that would encourage the emergence of a peaceful solution. In that regard, we supported an important step, namely, the unification of the Syrian opposition in its political and military wings under the umbrella of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces. That step was in response to an important demand by the United Nations and the international community. We believe that the United Nations must now, in accordance with Chapter VIII of its Charter, support the efforts of the League of Arab States in its capacity as the regional organization for the region where the Syrian crisis is unfolding.”

  3. “We would like to remind the Council that the longer the Syrian crisis remains unresolved as a result of the reluctance of the international community to resolve it and support the Syrian people, the harder it becomes to achieve a political solution, thus giving more space to the cycle of violence and the growth of extremism. In that regard, I would like to refute the lie that the Syrian regime has been peddling, namely, that its remaining in power is the only guarantee of safety for the minorities, In fact, the truth is completely the opposite - the oppression by the regime and its belittling of the Syrian people and homeland threaten every part of Syrian society.”

  4. “The briefings by United Nations humanitarian affairs officials to the Council last Thursday (S/PV.6949) showed that it has been impossible to find a humanitarian solution to the Syrian crisis - the most dangerous humanitarian crisis in the world. We commend the efforts of the United Nations and the pledges of humanitarian aid to the Syrian people. However, we are concerned that the humanitarian crisis is deteriorating so quickly and in a manner that is beyond the international community's ability to respond in terms of aid and assistance. The danger is not limited to Syria alone; rather, the crisis has started to spread to neighbouring countries and threaten the entire region.”

  5. “That confirms what is already clear to everyone - the regime has lost its legitimacy. A few days ago, the forces of the Syrian regime and the militias supporting it committed another massacre, this time in Jdeidet al-Fadel, where they shelled and destroyed the only bakery in town. The massacre of J deidet al-Fadel and other massacres in Darayya, Houla, Karm al-Zeitoun and Al-Qubair and other placess are all crimes against humanity, that is, crimes against us all that are a source of shame for the regime in the eyes of humankind as a whole. One of the most dangerous forms of escalation in Syria seen recently is the reported use of chemical weapons. In that regard, the fact-finding mission formed by the Secretary-General to bring out the relevant facts and investigate the various repercussions of those allegations, is of crucial importance.”

  6. “All parties must work together in order to support and encourage all efforts that aim to achieve that reconciliation, instead of undermining them. The situation in the Syrian Arab Republic continues to deteriorate. Despite the ongoing military escalation, we note that the Syrian regime continues to lose control on the ground. Therefore, its insistence on remaining in power has forced it to go to extremes and attempt to impose a military solution using various methods against the steadfast Syrian people. Although the regime is legally and morally responsible for the protection of its people, it unfortunately continues to use excessive force, perpetrate massacres and target residential areas and sanctuaries, such as refugee centres, schools, hospitals, bakeries and houses of worship, even historical buildings and archeological sites.”

  7. “It is important to pressure Israel to put an instant end to the settlement projects in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, and to hold it to its commitments, including releasing prisoners that have been held since before the Oslo Accords, terminating the unfair and aggressive siege of the Gaza strip and ceasing to tighten the noose around the Palestinian economy. The international community cannot turn a blind eye to efforts to Judaize the city of Jerusalem. It is an Arab city that will continue to be proudly Arab with its different religions and ethnicities. We would like to affirm that there is no Palestinian State without Jerusalem and there is no Jerusalem without the Al-Aqsa Mosque. It is also important to achieve Palestinian national reconciliation as a prerequisite for a just and comprehensive peace.”

  8. “Based on the foregoing, the recent Arab League summit meeting, which was held last month in Doha, decided to form a ministerial committee headed by Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabr Al-Thani, the Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Qatar. The committee has been given the task of liaising with the Security Council and the capitals of certain influential countries in order to promote the Arab Initiative. We hope that that effort will receive a positive response.”

  9. “Mr. Lararn (Qatar) (spoke in Arabic): Two decades have passed since the launch of the peace process in its current form. However, it continues to be a failure because it focuses on managing the issue instead of on dealing with the root causes, namely, the continued Israeli occupation. Despite that failure, we believe that the window of opportunity remains open in the form of the Arab Peace Initiative, which has been on the table for over a decade. Arab countries continue to affirm their commitment to that peace plan. However, it is also clear that the window will not remain open indefinitely. It is therefore important to intensify efforts and work very seriously and quickly in order to take advantage of the opportunity before it is too late.”
