“Rather than relaxing our efforts, we in the international community should work harder to counter the Ebola epidemic. China believes, first, that the international community should continue to take steps to consolidate the results that have already been achieved at this stage. We hope that the United Nations and the WHO will further strengthen their monitoring and prevention of the disease, collect and analyse information on it rapidly, comprehensively and accurately and determine its future development, in order to scientifically guide and coordinate the international efforts. Secondly, the relevant parties should live up to their assistance commitments with concrete contributions.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank Mr. Nabarro and Special Representative Banbury for their briefings. I also listened attentively to Mr. Mauget's presentation. The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has recently slowed down somewhat, and the number of new cases in Liberia and Guinea has fallen, showing that the international efforts to combat the disease have begun to take effect. The relevant countries and international and regional organizations such as the United Nations, World Health Organization (WHO) and African Union (AU) have worked enormously hard to that end, which China appreciates. Meanwhile, the momentum of the outbreak's spread has not been fundamentally contained. It is still a grave threat to the lives, personal health and public-health security of West Africans and others in the wider world.”

“China will continue to actively take part in and promote bilateral and multilateral cooperation against terrorism, strengthen information-sharing and assist developing countries both materially and in capacity-building within its capabilities. On 17 and 18 November, China hosted a workshop on combating cyberterrorism within the Global Counterterrorist Forum in Beijing, at which discussions were held on ways and means to prevent and fight cyberterrorism and strengthen international cooperation and capacity-building. We are willing to enhance exchanges and cooperation with the international community and promote new progress in international cooperation in the fight against terrorism in order to maintain world peace and stability.”

“The meeting will promote strong actions on the part of the international community and pragmatic cooperation against cyberterrorism. China faces a direct and realistic threat from East Turkestan terrorist forces, headed by the East Turkestan Islamic Movement. In recent years, it has continued to incite and organize terrorist activities, which threatens both China's national security and regional security and stability. In May this year, China's President Xi Jinping stressed that China will fight terrorism at both the national and the international levels, and seeks to strengthen international cooperation against terrorism. China will continue to strictly implement the relevant Council resolutions, strengthen its legislation on counter-terrorism, combat terrorism in accordance with the law and severely punish such terrorist crimes.”

“The international community must, on the one hand, continue to deal with traditional strategies and ways of combating terrorism, and, on the other, take rigorous steps, based on the characteristics of the Internet and cyber-terrorist activities, to tackle the terrorist organizations' use of the Internet to publish terrorist audio and video, spread extremist ideology and finance, incite, plan and carry out terrorist activities. The United Nations counter-terrorism mechanism must use innovative approaches and initiatives to effectively implement the relevant resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly. China looks forward to the 2015 special meeting of the Counter-Terrorism Committee on preventing the use of the Internet and social media by terrorists to incite terrorism and recruit terrorists.”

“Only in that way will we maintain unity and improve the coordination of our actions. Countries should accelerate implementation of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and resolutions 2170 (2014) and 2178 (2014), and adopt integrated measures to tackle both the roots and symptoms of terrorism and eliminate its breeding ground. Thirdly, our fight against terrorism must be targeted more effectively. With the development of cyber information and technology, the Internet has become an important channel for terrorists to carry out their activities. Cyberterrorism has become increasingly harmful to the international community; it is the new topic and challenge in our fight against terrorism.”

“I would like to stress the following points. First, the fight against terrorism must have one standard. Terrorists ignore fundamental human rights and challenge the bottom line of human civilization. They are the common enemy of humankind. Any terrorist act, regardless of when, where or by whom it is committed, constitutes a grave, inexcusable crime. All countries should cooperate in the fight without employing double standards or selectivity. Nor should they link terrorism with any ethnic group or religion. Secondly, in the fight against terrorism, we must abide by international law and the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. We must respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the countries concerned, and the United Nations and Security Council should play a leading role.”

“We have seen rampant, violent extremist activities, the return of terrorists who were trained abroad and the use of the Internet by terrorist organizations to engage in all acts of terrorism. Terrorist organizations are resorting to international financing and information technology and is recruiting young people, thereby causing greater harm. We face a grim, uphill fight against terrorism. In the face of the new threats and challenges posed by terrorism, the Security Council swiftly adopted resolutions 2170 (2014) and 2178 (2014), which reflect the will and determination of the international community to fight terrorism. The international community should enhance its sharing of information and successful experiences, scale up capacity-building and join hands in maintaining international peace and security.”

We welcome your coming to New York, Madam President, to preside at this meeting. I thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon; Ambassador Quinlan, Chair of the Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011) concerning Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities; and Ambassador Murmokaite, Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001) concerning counter-terrorism, for their briefings. The international community is presently facing a resurgence of terrorism, with its new means and manifestations.”

“The Council should shoulder its essential responsibility and play a mediating role in resolving the Palestinian question. We would support the Council in taking action to respond to the legitimate demands of Palestine and other Arab States as soon as possible. China has always supported the Palestinian people in their just demand for and legitimate right to independent Statehood, and will continue to work with the international community in order to play a positive and constructive role in advancing the Middle East peace process.”

“We urge Israel to work seriously and responsibly to halt all its settlement activities immediately, avoid taking any action that could further aggravate the conflict, and create the conditions necessary for building confidence between Palestine and Israel and for resuming peace talks. Dialogue and negotiation are the only route to a Palestinian-Israeli peace. Both parties should adhere to the strategic option for peace talks, resume them as soon as possible and work towards a rapprochement. The international community should strengthen its mutual support and create synergy aimed at providing a serious guarantee for advancing the peace process. The relevant parties should enhance their sense of responsibility and urgency, maintain an objective and impartial approach and vigorously promote peace and negotiation.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank Under-Secretary-General Feltman for his briefing. I have also listened attentively to the statements made by the representatives of Palestine and Israel. The Palestinian-Israeli situation is currently very fragile, and China is deeply concerned about the continuing conflict between the two sides in East Jerusalem and other territories. We urge the parties to maintain restraint and to avoid any expansion of the conflict or further escalation of tensions. The issue of settlements is one of the major obstacles to the Middle East peace process, and China's position on the issue is consistent and clear. We are opposed to the Israeli settlement activities in East Jerusalem and other occupied Palestinian territories.”

“This is now one of the major causes of the displacement of women, and the international community should ensure that it pays adequate attention to the issue and makes resolution 1325 (2000) an integral part ofits response to terrorism, taking effective measures to protect women from the effects of terrorism and extremism, and to ensure women's participation in international efforts to counter terrorism. Next year the United Nations will conduct a comprehensive review of the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), studying the lessons learned based on Member States' experience and practices, and will explore effective ways to protect the rights, interests and security of women in conflict. China welcomes the Secretary-General's efforts to initiate that global study and will actively support and participate in the relevant activities.”

“The international community should increase its development assistance and technical support to developing countries, with priority being given to the countries concerned in the area of national capacity- building, as well as to ensuring an adequate focus on the complementary role played by women's groups and civil society as a whole. The international community is currently experiencing a new resurgence of terrorism in some countries and regions; terrorism and extremism are becoming rampant and causing enormous harm to civilians in general and women in particular.”

“The Security Council should coordinate more closely with the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, the Human Rights Council and UN-Women, based on their respective mandates, so that they can carry out their various functions synergistically. Regional and subregional organizations should also play a full role. Thirdly, comprehensive economic and social development and the eradication of the root causes of conflicts are prerequisites for guaranteeing the rights and interests of women. They can also advance women's empowerment and improve their positive contribution to international peace and security, in order to help the countries concerned get to work as soon as possible on post-conflict reconstruction and the development of women.”

“At every stage of the peace process, women's full right to participation and decision-making should be ensured so that a system of guarantees can be established to protect their rights and interests. Secondly, the United Nations agencies should strengthen their coordination and cooperation in support of national efforts to protect women in conflict. The countries involved bear the primary responsibility for protecting women in conflict, and the international community should fully respect that leading role, while providing constructive support based on the needs of the countries concerned.”
2014-10-28 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7289 (2014) · source
“In that regard, I would like to emphasize the following three points. First, the protection of women in conflict should be addressed so as to deal both with its symptoms and its underlying causes, and it calls for a holistic approach. The international community should take effective measures to provide a comprehensive guarantee of security to women and ensure that they receive humanitarian relief. At the same time, we should also vigorously enhance the political process, promote national reconciliation and settle differences through dialogue and consultation, aimed at creating a safe and stable external environment conducive to protecting women's rights and interests.”

“The international community has achieved significant results in its efforts to provide comprehensive protection for the security, rights and interests of women, and to enhance the unique role that women play in the area of peace and security. Meanwhile, the current international situation is becoming increasingly complex and challenging, as various regional conflicts have arisen one after the other. In many areas, civilians, and women in particular, are being displaced by war and conflict. They have to deal with various kinds of Violence and violations by themselves, without any assistance, and therefore urgently need the international community's support. We must therefore work together and in close coordination in order to strengthen the comprehensive protection of women in conflict.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): The Chinese delegation welcomes Argentina's initiative in convening today's open debate. I would like to thank the Secretary-General for his briefing. I would also like to thank Ms. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN-Women, and Assistant Secretary- General Mulet for their briefings. China also listened carefully to the statements by the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons, and the representatives of civil society. Next year marks the fifteenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), on women and peace and security. Thanks to the joint efforts of United Nations Member States, agencies and regional and subregional organizations, positive progress has been made in its implementation.”

“The international community should prevail on the parties concerned to make full use of existing communication channels and opportunities for dialogue, take actions conducive to the establishment of mutual trust and avoid confrontation. China supports any effort that will help the parties to engage in dialogue and consultations leading to a political settlement of the crisis, and we will continue to play an active and constructive role in seeking a political settlement of the question of Ukraine.”

“While the legitimate rights, interests and claims of all regions and ethnic groups in Ukraine should be fully accommodated, attention must be given to addressing the legitimate concerns of the parties and to achieving a balance of interests among all parties. A political solution is the only proper way to solve the question of Ukraine. China hopes that the parties concerned will continue to implement the Minsk agreements, to further carry out constructive efforts and interaction and to launch as soon as possible an inclusive dialogue that will reach a balanced, durable and comprehensive political settlement of the question of Ukraine.”

“That is the fundamental way to ease the humanitarian situation of the country, and it will create the necessary conditions for the provision of humanitarian assistance. China hopes that the international community will continue to play a constructive role in the improvement of the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. China maintains its consistent position that the United Nations human rights organs and international humanitarian relief agencies should adhere to the principles of objectivity and neutrality in carrying out their work. The question of Ukraine involves a complex history that has a bearing on contemporary issues. The parties concerned should address the root of the problem and find a fundamental solution.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I wish to thank Assistant Secretary-General Fernandez-Taranco and Assistant Secretary-General Simonovie for their briefings. China notes that, since the signing of the Minsk agreements between the Ukrainian Government and eastern militias at the beginning of September, there have been no large-scale armed clashes in eastern Ukraine. However, the security situation on the ground still remains fragile with sporadic violent attacks in violation of the ceasefire agreement, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure. China is deeply worried and concerned about the situation. The top priority now is forthe parties concerned to implement effectively and comprehensively the Minsk agreements and to ensure the realization of a ceasefire and cessation of violence in eastern Ukraine.”

“The Security Council should shoulder its responsibility and play a role, as is called for. It should push Palestine and Israel to keep the ceasefire in place so that the safety and security of civilian lives and property can be protected, and push also for substantive progress on the question of Palestine. We welcome the draft resolution of the Security Council recently distributed by Arab States and support action being taken by the Security Council so as to effectively respond to the reasonable request made by Palestine and other Arab States. China is a firm supporter and sincere mediator for peace between Palestine and Israel. China has been pushing for peace and negotiations between Palestine and Israel, including the five-point proposal for peace submitted shortly after the recent outbreak of conflict.”

“We hope that the Palestinian factions will strengthen their unity and work together in support of the national consensus Government. Meanwhile, the legitimate security concerns of Israel should be addressed. Peace and security should be enjoyed and maintained by both Palestine and Israel. At present there is a pressing need for reconstruction in Gaza, and China is pleased by the positive outcome of the recent Cairo conference on reconstruction in Gaza. We hope that the international community will deliver promptly on its commitments. We hope also that Israel will cooperate actively with the international community's relief efforts so as to enable relief to reach the people of Palestine quickly and smoothly. The question of Palestine is one in which international peace and security is at stake.”

“We hope that Palestine and Israel will adhere to the strategic choice for peace talks and seize the opportunity offered by the ceasefire to resume as soon as possible and push forward substantive negotiations, so as to achieve an early settlement of the question of Palestine that will eventually create an independent State of Palestine that enjoys full sovereignty on the basis of the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Palestine and Israel live next to each other as neighbours. Peace between them will therefore require goodwill from both sides. We call on Israel to put an end to the construction of settlements in the occupied territories, release Palestinian prisoners as soon as possible, lift the blockade on Gaza and create the conditions necessary for the resumption of peace talks.”

“To change the situation once and for all will require Palestine and Israel to work together with the rest of the international community. The recurrent conflicts between Palestine and Israel in Gaza show once again that a deadlock in the peace talks is bound to aggravate tension and drag both parties into a vicious cycle of returning violence for violence. It is also one more reminder to the international community that peace talks are the only way out on the question of the Middle East.”

China has listened attentively to the statements made by the representatives of Palestine and Israel. China is greatly concerned about the situation between Palestine and Israel and by the plight of the Palestinian people. We are grieved by the large number of casualties caused by the conflict in Gaza, including civilian casualties and women and children. We strongly condemn any indiscriminate use of force or actions that cause casualties among innocent civilians. In spite ofthe ceasefire in Gaza, the situation on the ground remains fragile, and the humanitarian situation is worrisome.”

“China has for the first time sent a security detail to the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali and will send an additional 700-person strong peacekeeping infantry battalion to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan. That will be the first time that China sends an infantry battalion to a United Nations peacekeeping mission. China is also actively considering despatching helicopters to United Nations peacekeeping operations and stands ready to contribute further peacekeeping police and police experts to join the ranks of Blue Helmets. We will continue to support, to the extent of our abilities, the peacekeeping capacity-building of African countries, including the establishment of an African Union rapid reaction force.”

China is firmly supportive of and actively engaged in United Nations peacekeeping operations. To date, China has contributed more than 25,000 peacekeepers to various missions. At present, we have approximately 2,200 peacekeepers who are working to implement the mandates of nine United Nations missions, including in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Mali.”

“Consideration may be given to formulating standards for the organization, training and supervision of personnel, and, in the light of changes in the security environment in mandate areas, increased safety and security measures for peacekeepers. The operations should focus on the adoption of new technology and equipment while also studying in depth the legal issues involved and continuing to draw lessons from their experiences, both positive and negative, with their gradual dissemination and application carried out on the basis of observance of the Charter of the United Nations and respect for the sovereignty and will of the countries in question.”

“The procedures for the configuration and deployment of missions should be improved, and logistical backstopping mechanisms should be optimized. There should be better scientific planning and management of the peacekeeping operations, and an effective and efficient use of resources so as to avoid any unnecessary overlap or waste. Through inter-mission cooperation and other means, existing resources can be better transferred and used. Fourthly, peacekeeping operations should enhance their capacity-building. The parties concerned should work on such areas as technical equipment and personnel training and in closer cooperation with regional organizations.”

“This is also an important foundation for and a guarantee of the effective implementation of the civilian protection mandate by peacekeeping operations. The work of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has shown that the support and cooperation of the country in question is Vital for the robust enforcement of the protection-of- civilians mandate in peacekeeping. Thirdly, peacekeeping operations should improve their efficiency. The rapid projection and deployment capacity of peacekeeping operations has a bearing on whether the missions are able to play their role at the crucial moment. The Security Council, the Secretariat, the countries in question and the troop- contributing countries, inter alia, should improve their communication and coordination.”

“The African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur has carried out useful experiments in adjusting mandates and functions that may serve as a reference to draw upon in our future exploration of mandate improvements for other peacekeeping operations. Secondly, peacekeeping operations should be carried out in strict observance of Security Council resolutions, with respect for the sovereignty of the countries in question and with attention paid to increasing communication with those countries. The deployment of peacekeeping operations itself is not the goal. Only through political dialogue, comprehensive consultation so as to settle differences and the attainment of national reconciliation can we effectively curb violent conflicts, stabilize the situation and restore security.”

“With regard to the issue of how to promote the development of peacekeeping operations so as to ensure improved efficiency, an optimized mandate and the best results, I would like to make the following four observations. First, we should focus on increasing the relevance and visibility of United Nations peacekeeping operations in its deployment of such operations. The Council should ensure that peacekeeping mandates are realistic and feasible and should also clearly define the priority tasks and focus, and avoid seeking full coverage of every minor detail and area at the cost of effective execution. The results of mandate implementation should be assessed in a timely manner and in the light of the requirements as well as changes on the ground, and the relevant adjustments should be made to the mandates, the force level and the scale.”

“China would like to pay tribute to all the commanders present as well as all of the United Nations peacekeepers who are implementing their mandates for the dedication and courage displayed in the context of difficult and complex environments. In recent years, regional conflicts have become increasingly complex, and United Nations peacekeeping operations are facing major changes in their situations and mandates; they should therefore adapt and continue to innovate and improve. China supports the initiative of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for a comprehensive review and assessment ofpeacekeeping operations, and we expect positive progress in the work in this area on the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of the United Nations next year.”

The international community should take into full account the unique historical and cultural traditions of those regions and should proceed based on the fundamental interests of the peoples and countries of those areas through the peaceful resolution of disputes. The international community should also support the independent search by the countries of the region for the paths and models best suited to their national conditions and their people's aspirations for orderly transformation and development in order to create the fundamental conditions for lasting peace and security in those regions.”

“The international community should closely track the new features of terrorism against the backdrop of new means of modern information. It should come up with new means of thinking and new measures designed to sever the three channels - namely, the spread of terror via the Internet, the cross-border movement of terrorists and the covert financing of terrorism in order to minimize the breathing space for terrorism. Meanwhile, terrorism should not be linked to specific nations or religions. Thirdly, the international community should recognize the important interplay between the Iraqi question and other hotspot issues in West Asia and North Africa, through strengthened, integrated management.”

“We are deeply saddened by the great suffering that terrorism has inflicted on the Iraqi people. There is no good or bad terrorism. Wherever and whenever it occurs, and whoever commits it, terrorism should invariably be firmly opposed. In its pursuit of international counter-terrorism cooperation, the international community should respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the countries concerned. It should abide by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the basic norms that govern international relations, while fully observing the leading roles of the United Nations and the Security Council. At the same time, it should adhere to consistent standards with regard to both the symptoms and their remedies.”

We also hope that they will continue to push ahead with their political dialogue and reconciliation process, beef up their military and security capabilities and continue to advance reform and reconstruction. The international community should shoulder its responsibility and provide constructive help to the new Government in Iraq. In particular, there should be increased humanitarian assistance, along with greater efforts to alleviate the suffering of the Iraqi people and help Iraq break the vicious cycle of poverty, extremism and violence. Secondly, the international community should unite to help Iraq combat terrorism.”

First, the international community should support Iraq in continuing to further its process of political reconciliation. We are heartened by the successful formation of a new Iraqi Government, an important milestone in that country's political process that creates the necessary conditions for the Iraqi people to focus their energy on responding to the security challenges they face and on promoting economic and social development.”

We also welcome the presence of Foreign Minister Al-Jaafari of Iraq and his statement earlier in the meeting.

Addressing the issue of children and armed conflict requires not only efforts by the Council, but also that United Nations agencies and regional organizations strengthen their coordination and cooperation and play an even greater role in preventing children from being sucked into conflict.”
