  1. “Morocco, which shares the security concerns of small island developing States, has therefore always advocated for for efficient cooperation andjoint efforts at the regional and international levels to bolster safety and security systems around the world. For that reason, my country will continue to support international efforts to improve cooperation with those States in the field of security and remains willing to share its own experience and to place at their disposal its own expertise in various sectors related to socioeconomic development. That cooperation is also reflected through a multitude of human development projects linked to the demands of globalization and democracy and in terms of access, duty-free and quota-free access to its markets.”

  2. “My country has always been aware of the challenges facing SIDS and contributed actively at the first meeting with the Pacific SIDS, held in Rabat on 13 December 2012. The work undertaken at that meeting was endorsed by ajoint press release concering the strengthening of bilateral relations, cooperation and coordination with all those States. The resurgence of terrorism and transnational crime requires the international community to take the necessary precautions and appropriate measures to spare these vulnerable countries from such activities and to help them integrate into the world economy.”

  3. “To that end, we need to build on the results of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development of June 2012, particularly in terms of global governance, sustainable development, the biodiversity of the oceans and seas, and financing for sustainable development. For the Kingdom of Morocco, South-South partnership is a strategic choice, and it has always been mindful of the problems of the small island developing States, with which it shares aspirations as formulated in the Barbados Programme of Action and the Mauritius Strategy. Morocco remains convinced that increased cooperation in regard to clean technology transfer, the utilization of renewable energies and the financing of sustainable development projects will substantially contribute to the economic recovery and stability of those countries.”

  4. “Diversifying the economies of those countries in order to enhance the share of the manufacturing sector and improving their productive capacities remains the most appropriate way to achieve lasting growth in those countries and to bolster their resilience. In order to achieve the change necessary to supporting their growth, SIDS need a significant mobilization of official development assistance, foreign direct investment, technology transfer and access to markets. With respect to climate change and natural disasters, it is necessary to bolster both the prevention and the adaption capacities of those countries, whose environmental vulnerability has grown in recent years. National policy support programmes must be conceived and implemented with the support of international institutions.”

  5. “Indeed, for years the devastating impact of climate change that threatens the various ecosystems of the planet has had detrimental repercussions on those countries, which already face such problems as rising sea levels, natural and environmental disasters, waste management, and the need to preserve coastal and maritime resources and biodiversity. Those countries' economies remain dependent on a few sectors, such as tourism, which has been affected by the impact of climate change and natural disasters, or the export of basic commodities, the prices of which have suffered significant fluctuations on international markets, making their economic growth even more vulnerable to external shocks.”

  6. “The adoption of the Barbados Programme of Action in 1994 and the Mauritius Strategy in 2005 kindled great hope and launched an impetus that must be maintained. However, these two instruments have not enjoyed the anticipated success, despite the good results achieved thanks to the consistent commitments of the Government of the small island developing States. Today, small island developing States continue to face security challenges coupled with other socioeconomic problems, limiting their capacity for growth and development. That is reflected, inter alia, in an infrastructure deficit, weak productive capacities and poor integration of those countries into the world economy, as shown in their still very low volume of trade and increasing vulnerability to the effects of climate change.”

  7. “We therefore trust that our debate shall formulate recommendations reflecting the international community's commitment to taking tangible steps to remedy the vulnerability of small island developing States, notably in terms of security and the challenges of transnational crime. International action aimed at strengthening the resilience of those States to security challenges should be taken in parallel with the implementation of the Action Agenda and the Mauritius Strategy for the Further Implementation of the Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States. The strengthening of the relevant constructive partnerships must take into consideration the establishment of specific projects for the benefit of the sustainable development of small island developing States.”

  8. “Mr. Lassel (Morocco) (spoke in French): At the outset, I would like to thank the New Zealand presidency for convening this debate on the security challenges facing small island developing States (SIDS). My delegation is convinced that this debate will help to deepen our consideration of how to strengthen peace and security in those countries. The topic we are discussing today enjoys high priority on the agenda of the United Nations. The convening of this meeting is timely, comes as it does after the adoption of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on financing for development and as we are pursuing negotiations on the post-2015 development agenda, as well as during preparations for the Paris Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.”
