“The international community must therefore take stock of those reprehensible acts and take concerted actions to introduce and implement adequate measures, including legislation, against such acts at all levels, in accordance with international human rights standards. There is an obvious need to strengthen dialogue and cooperation among all religions, cultures and civilizations for promoting harmony and coexistence.”

“Increased cooperation and coordination between them is in the interest of both organizations. We hope that such synergies will lead to the peaceful resolution of conflicts in the region, especially over the attainment of the inalienable right to self-determination by the people of Palestine. Pakistan strongly condemns the recent release of a defamatory video and the publication of derogatory caricatures in the newspapers. We endorse the Secretary-General's pronouncement that those are senseless and disgraceful acts. They are indeed abhorrent examples of incitement to hatred and discrimination against Muslims under the pretext of freedom of expression and opinion. As we have witnessed, the global reaction to, and consequences of, those acts have a strong bearing on international peace and security.”

“We firmly believe that without a resolution of the core issue in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the Security Council and the Arab Peace Initiative, aimed at the re-establishment of an independent and viable State of Palestine on the basis of the pre-1967 borders, with A1-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, a comprehensive peace plan would not be possible. The United Nations and the League of Arab States have been building institutional ties over the past few years. The presence here today of Secretary General Nabil Elaraby is proof of that. Apart from the area of peace and security, there has also been cooperation in other fields, ranging from counter-terrorism to disaster risk reduction and humanitarian issues. We hope that the United Nations and the League will build further on those linkages.”

“The gentle winds of spring must visit the Palestinian territory and other occupied lands as well. The Security Council must not remain silent in the face of Israel's continued defiance of the collective will of the international community, its illegal settlement policy and its collective punishment of the Palestinians with the continued blockade of Gaza, which has now entered its sixth year. We call on the League of Arab States to continue to play its crucial and unquestioned role in bringing those historical injustices to the world's attention and working towards ajust settlement. The Security Council must fully support those efforts.”

“As a country born of a democratic struggle, and as a functioning and vibrant democracy, Pakistan fully supports the fulfilment of a people's legitimate aspirations. However, the decision for change must be channelled through peaceful means, and should be led and owned by the people themselves. Pakistan has always been opposed on principle to any outside interference, use of force or violence. Similarly, we feel that coercive measures lead to a hardening of positions and are seldom effective. Dialogue and engagement are the essence of multilateralism, and that should be maintained. It is important to reiterate that the era of rejuvenation, often euphemistically termed the Arab Spring, should not bypass the people of Palestine. They have suffered under the yoke of tyrannical oppression and unlawful occupation for too long.”

“Pakistan supports cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations in various areas, including the maintenance of peace and security, humanitarian assistance, development and human rights. Pakistan believes that regional organizations can play an important role in the pacific settlement of disputes. They are better placed to understand the realities and complexities of situations on the ground, and thus bring a complementary role and perspective to the United Nations. The spirit ofmultilateralism lies in building bridges, finding common ground and pooling resources. The appointment of a Joint Special Envoy, and subsequently a Joint Special Representative, for Syria is an example of synergy flowing from multilateralism. The Arab world is going through a period of uncertainty as well as reform.”

“At the outset, I would like to thank Germany for convening today's debate on an issue that is close to our hearts and a very important and long-standing item on the Security Council's agenda. I thank the Secretary-General for his briefing and welcome the ministers attending today's debate. We also welcome the Secretary General of the League of Arab States, Mr. Nabil Elaraby, to the Security Council for the third time in a few months, a sign of the increasing coordination between the United Nations and the League of Arab States. Pakistan's ties with the Arab world have a deep and continuing historical, cultural and religious underpinning. We regard the peace and progress of the Arab world as synonymous with our own.”
