  1. “We hope that the Secretariat will give full consideration to the Views of all parties concerned, especially those of Member States, and build on the collective wisdom of all States in formulating a set of indicators that will provide useful reference to Member States in their implementation of resolution 1325 (2000).”

  2. “Resolution 1325 (2000) covers a broad range of areas from the protection of the rights and interests of women to the promotion of women's participation in the prevention and settlement of conflicts. In some areas, it is difficult to quantify the progress made, a factor that should be fully taken into account when formulating and improving the indicators. Moreover, since countries experience differing situations according to their level of development and historical and cultural traditions, the indicators should be feasible and applicable so that countries will be able to apply them in accordance with their specific conditions.”

  3. “We hope that the Special Representative will enhance communication and cooperation with the countries concerned, and provide them with constructive help in addressing the problem of sexual violence in armed conflict. China also expects to see greater coordination and enhanced efficiency in United Nations efforts to combat sexual violence and protect women in armed conflict. China welcomes the report of the Secretary- General (S/2010/ 173) submitted pursuant to resolution 1889 (2009), which contains a set of indicators to track implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). My country appreciates the tremendous amount of work carried out by the Secretariat and hopes that it will continue to improve the indicators.”

  4. “As the party bearing the primary responsibility for the protection of its women, the country concerned should not only take account of the special needs and concerns of women during and after an armed conflict, but also focus on their full participation in conflict prevention, peacekeeping, peacebuilding and relevant decision- making. The international community and donors should provide financial and technical assistance to the capacity-building efforts of the countries concerned. Sexual violence is among the major problems facing women in armed conflict in certain countries and regions. China welcomes the Secretary-General's appointment of Ms. Wallstrom as his Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict and supports her in fulfilling her mandate.”

  5. “The concepts of gender equality, women's empowerment and the prevention and suppression of sexual violence have taken hold, and efforts on those issues have produced remarkable results. Much work remains to be accomplished before the international community will be able to achieve the various targets set by resolution 1325 (2000). To that end, relevant agencies and organs should work synergistically and within their respective mandates to maximize the strength of the entire United Nations system. The Security Council should focus on preventing and reducing incidents of armed conflict, thereby decreasing the root causes of women's suffering.”

  6. “Mr. Long Zhou (China) (spoke in Chinese): At the outset, let me express my appreciation to the delegation of Japan for taking the initiative to organize today's briefing. I also thank Ms. Wallstrom, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, and Ms. Mayanja, Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women, for their briefings. Resolution 1325 (2000) on women, peace and security, adopted by the Council 10 years ago, was a landmark document that laid the foundation for international cooperation on women, peace and security. Since that time, the Council has followed up with many actions for its implementation and Member States have adopted relevant implementation measures, as required by the resolution.”

  7. “We hope that all parties, including the Quartet, will take practical measures to facilitate the early resumption of talks. We also hope that the Security Council will play a greater and more effective role in this process. The Chinese Government supports the legitimate rights and interests of the Palestinian people and their just cause. We support the two-State solution based on the relevant United Nations resolutions, the Arab Peace Initiative and the principle of land for peace. Together with the international community, China will maintain its support for the efforts of the Palestinian people to achieve statehood and for the realization of just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the region.”

  8. “We urge all parties to implement Security Council resolution 1860 (2009) in earnest and to facilitate the lifting of the blockade of the Gaza Strip so that construction can start as soon as possible and people can return to their normal lives and live in dignity. The realization of intra-Palestinian reconciliation is very important to restarting the Middle East peace process. We hope that all parties will focus on their long-term national interests, consolidate unity and join hands in achieving independent, self-reliant and viable statehood for the Palestinians. With the return of spring all life awakes anew. We await the early return of spring in the Middle East peace process. We welcomed the declaration of the Quartet last month in Moscow.”

  9. “Israel's declaration that it would build settlements in East Jerusalem and other practices run counter to international efforts and create new obstacles to the resumption of talks. We strongly reject such practices. We urge Israel to respond to international appeals by ceasing construction of its settlements and separation wall in the occupied Palestinian territory. We are opposed to any act that undermines the basis for such talks and mutual confidence and prejudges the outcome of those talks. We are deeply concerned by the decision of Israel to implement its military order in the West Bank and its possible negative consequences. We call upon Israel to give careful consideration to its own interests and to overall peace and stability in the region before taking action and to create positive conditions for the resumption of talks.”

  10. “An early solution to the Middle East question is a shared expectation of the international community. It is also in the common interests of the various parties and critical to regional and international peace and security. The international community should make concerted efforts for the early settlement of the issue. We hope that this meeting will provide new impetus to the Middle East peace process. It is the consistent View of China that political negotiation remains the only way to solve the problem. We hope that the parties will maintain their faith in peace talks and demonstrate the political will to create favourable conditions for an early resumption of the talks.”

  11. “Mr. Long Zhou (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank you, Mr. President, for convening today's open debate. (spoke in English) A strong earthquake struck the Yushu region in Qinghai province in China today. The earthquake caused heavy losses in terms of the lives and property of the local people. The central and local Governments have responded rapidly and are making every effort to organize rescue and relief work. I would like to take this opportunity to thank previous speakers for the support and sympathy they expressed for the Chinese people and Government. (spoke in Chinese) The current situation in the Middle East remains serious. The peace process in the Middle East remains at an impasse. We are seriously concerned and worried about this situation.”
