“However, in spite of that progress, the situation remains fragile and reversible, as has been noted by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, because not only do some portions of the national territory remain outside of the control of the central Government, but the central Government is confronted with terrorist acts by Al-Shabaab, particularly in the north of the country, with all of the human and humanitarian consequences flowing from it for hundreds of thousands of refugees and displaced persons. My country emphatically condemns the terrorist activities of Al-Shabaab and the acts of piracy that have been staged off the shores of Somalia in spite of the efforts of the international community to secure the waters off the Horn of Africa.”

“That interest has been amply shown by the London Conference held on 23 February, the results of which, we hope, will be consolidated and built upon by the Istanbul conference scheduled for the 31 May. Morocco is pleased with the steps taken and the progress made on the political and security fronts in Somalia, which have been implemented through establishing the Djibouti peace process and the road map in order to turn the page on the transition. The openness of the Transitional Federal Government in the areas it has recovered and the agreement on modalities for a Constituent Assembly represent real progress for the Somali people.”

“Mr. Loulichki (Morocco) (spoke in French): First of all, I would like to welcome the presence here today of His Excellency President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed and to thank him for having shared with Council members his assessment of the situation in his country, his concerns and his expectations from the international community. I would also like to thank Mr. Augustine Mahiga, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, for his commitment and his dedication to his mission of peace and reconciliation in Somalia. Morocco welcomes the ongoing interest that the Security Council is attaching to Somalia in order to assist a country that has been ravaged by a bloody war for 20 years and to bring its people out of violence and instability.”

“This human aspect is essential and should encourage the two parties to avoid rhetoric and prevent any act threatening the integrity, safety and security of individuals. In that regard, we commend the efforts of UNMIK that has contributed to the arrests of those responsible for organized crime in order to hand them over to the competent judicial authorities. On the other hand, we remain concerned by allegations of trafficking in human organs, and convinced of the importance of shedding full light on those serious allegations. The tension between the communities in Kosovo could degenerate if the two parties do not make a steadfast commitment to maintaining dialogue and working together to strengthen their mutual trust and interests through the implementation of the parameters established in resolution 1244 (1999).”

“At the political level, we commend the real prospects for an improvement in relations between the European Union (EU), on the one hand, and Serbia and Kosovo, on the other, and we note that the two parties have reached an agreement on Kosovo's regional representation and cooperation, under EU auspices. This clearly shows that cooperation between Serbia and Kosovo is possible, even on sensitive issues, when there is political will. The same goes for the conclusion of a technical protocol for the implementation of the agreement on integrated management of crossing points by Serbian and Kosovo forces, the objective of which is to provide for better control and security for all.”

“Indeed, there are still hotbeds of tension in northern Kosovo, despite the efforts of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and other missions present on the ground, such as the Kosovo Force and the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo, aimed at easing tensions and avoiding an escalation of violence among the communities. This situation, unfortunately, will not bring the two parties closer or help them to reconcile their positions on many pending fundamental questions that concern both the present and the future of both countries.”

“Mr. Loulichki (Morocco) (spoke in French): First of all, I would like to express our thanks to Mr. Farid Zarif, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Kosovo, for his briefing on the latest report of the Secretary-General (S/2012/275) and the recent developments in the issue of Kosovo. Morocco regrets that the security situation in Kosovo did not improve during the period covered by the Secretary-General's report. Quite the contrary, it regressed compared to the previous period, thereby risking the destabilization of the Balkan region.”

“Here, I reaffirm Morocco's long-standing position in favour of the principle of dialogue and negotiation. We also believe in sanctions only when they are absolutely necessary. Thus, in accordance with the resolutions of the League of Arab States and the Security Council, I cite the Arab League resolution adopted on 26 April, which firmly condemns the attack on Heglig, calls for respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Sudan, also calls on the two parties to settle the problems between them through negotiation, and reiterates the League's readiness to help the African mediation efforts. Furthermore, in the resolution the Arab League proposes the establishment of a commission of inquiry to assess the damage caused by the attack on Heglig. 7”

“In that regard, the Kingdom of Morocco appreciates the decision of the Government of the Sudan to settle outstanding issues between the two countries. Deeply convinced of the need to abjure force in interactions between countries, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, the Kingdom of Morocco believes that at this stage it is absolutely crucial to give priority to dialogue and negotiations and to encourage both parties not to support rebel groups that undermine the territorial integrity of the other side. We would also call on international partners and mediators of both countries to resolve pending issues and to implement the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. That would restore trust between the two neighbours and contribute to a shared future of coexistence, cooperation and solidarity.”

“Mr. Loulichki (Morocco) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to congratulate you, Sir, and all members of the brotherly Mission of Azerbaijan on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. We are fully ready to cooperate with you. I would also like to thank Ambassador Susan Rice and the United States Mission for their presidency last month, which was very successful and positive. The Kingdom of Morocco voted in favour of resolution 2046 (2012), which urges the Governments of the Sudan and South Sudan to immediately cease all confrontation, to undertake to implement all previous agreements, and to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“Morocco is committed to these negotiations, aware that the Western Sahara is Moroccan and that Morocco must continue to exercise its sovereignty there. Morocco endured colonization in the early twentieth century and suffered greatly in seeking to maintain its own territorial integrity. We are committed to negotiations in order to preserve the stability of the Arab Maghreb, strengthen good-neighbourly relations among the States of the Maghreb, and create momentum that will allow us to transcend our differences and reinforce our common Arab dimension. The desire to live as good neighbours in our own neighbourhood will help us to resolve this conflict through joint efforts to establish a climate of stability in the Western Sahara.”

“We voted in favour of the resolution because we are mindful that there is no alternative to negotiations and that there is no turning back. The approaches of the past cannot be revived today. Since 2001, we have been convinced that the referendum approach could result in disharmony and tension in a society of coexistence that continues to seek consensus solutions. We have therefore adopted the approach of negotiation, which we have reactivated in recent years. In order to entrench that trend, we have adopted a realistic approach that derives its legitimacy from the most successful and democratic models. That is why the Security Council trusts that our efforts are earnest, honest and conducive to progress in the negotiating process.”

“Morocco voted in favour of the resolution because the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) is very important and appropriate in the context of the Organization's efforts. The mandate is now confined to pursuing a ceasefire, closely monitoring negotiations and facilitating confidence-building measures. These highly important functions strengthen regional stability and promote contact among the inhabitants of the Arab Maghreb through the efforts of Mr. Christopher Ross. The Council was quite right to refuse, for the third year in a row, to consider broadening the mandate to include matters that are irrelevant to the functions 3 and nature of the Mission. We therefore believe that, in adhering to the original mandate, the Council is directing MINURSO to commit to the existing agreements.”

“This is a matter of relevance to our brothers in Algeria, given the presence of refugees in their country and their obligations under international humanitarian law with respect to those refugees. The resolution is proof that the Council is mindful of our good faith and of the need to pursue efforts in Laayoune and Dakhla that have been affirmed by the National Council of Human Rights. It is also evidence of our commitment, reiterated by the Security Council through the resolution. The importance of the resolution will not be diminished by the doubts we heard expressed earlier. Our efforts fall in the natural context of reform undertaken by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, and have been given new momentum by the new Constitution and the transparent legislative elections that brought in a new Government.”

“Mr. Loulichki (Morocco) (spoke in Arabic): Morocco voted in favour of resolution 2044 (2012) because it encourages the parties to accelerate the pace of talks and calls on neighbouring States to strengthen their participation in helping to advance progress towards a realistic and negotiated political solution. These are steps that we support and to which we hereby commit ourselves. We voted in favour of the resolution because it reiterates the importance and priority of the self- determination initiative launched by Morocco and welcomes the efforts made by my country since 2006. We are pleased to see the establishment of this negotiating framework. Morocco voted in favour of the resolution also because it reiterates the importance of registering the Tindouf refugees.”

“Palestine's membership, which would be in line with the vision of President Obama to achieve peace based on the two- State solution, is notable in particular given that most countries in the world have recognized the State of Palestine on the basis of reports by international organizations that Palestinian authorities and institutions are capable of administering the affairs of an independent Palestinian State. At the same time, we call for the implementation of the relevant international resolutions, instruments and initiatives regarding a solution to the Palestinian question. We also call on Israeli to withdraw from all occupied Palestinian and Arab territories, including the occupied Golan and the remaining Lebanese territories.”

“The situation of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, including peaceful activists and activists, is precarious. They endure isolation and arbitrary detention and are prevented from seeing their families and from continuing their educations. Arab leaders have endorsed the resolution adopted by the Arab League on 23 September 2011, to support the inclusion of Palestine as a full-fledged Member of the United Nations, along the 4 June 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as its capital.”

“Accordingly, we believe that the initiative taken by President Abbas to write to Prime Minister Netanyahu on the revival of the negotiation process, which has been in limbo for years, will serve to revive the peace process and to enable the Palestinians to establish their independent and viable State on the Palestinian territories, with East Jerusalem as its capital. In this context, we encourage the Palestinian parties to embark on the path to reconciliation in order to end division, in accordance with the Doha Declaration. The economic situation in the occupied Palestinian territories is deteriorating rapidly under Israeli occupation. In a recent report, the World Bank sounded the alarm that the Palestinian budget deficit is more than $1 billion.”

“This scheme will increase tension in the occupied Palestinian territories and have further repercussions that will endanger the entire region." His Majesty urges the Secretary-General and the five permanent members of the Council to take every measure to compel Israel to cease its actions and practices that run counter to international agreements and instruments. The Palestinians have demonstrated time and again that they are committed to negotiations and the peace process to end the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The recent summit of the League of Arab States, held in Bagdad in March, reaffirmed that fair and comprehensive peace is the strategic option under the Arab Peace Initiative, as affirmed at various Arab summits since 2002.”

“The policy is implemented by pressuring the Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem to emigrate by constructing bypass roads, settling Israelis in their confiscated homes and expanding settlements, all in order to isolate East Jerusalem from the rest of the Palestinian territories. In that connection, I wish to quote a letter sent by His Majesty King Mohammed VI on 3 April, in his capacity as the Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, to the five permanent members of the Security Council and the Quartet. His Majesty wrote: "All such unilateral illegal actions and other violations of the rights of the Palestinian people run counter to international law and international humanitarian law.”

“In that connection, representatives of the Quartet, meeting in Washington, DC, this month, expressed concern at the settlement activity, settler provocations and continued violence, and called on the two parties to make efforts to resume negotiations in order to find a solution to the conflict. They also called on the international community to support and assist the Palestinian authorities in overcoming the financial crisis resulting from Israeli practices. In that regard, the Human Rights Council has authorized a fact-finding mission on the impact of settlements on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territories. East Jerusalem is the main target of the Israeli authorities' settlement policy of obliterating its features and altering its demographic, religious and cultural composition.”

“Mr. Loulichki (Morocco) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, allow me, on behalf of my delegation, to thank Mr. Lynn Pascoe for his briefing today on developments in the Middle East, which we can all agree are explosive and dangerous to the security and stability of that sensitive zone of the world. His briefing highlighted the need for the Council to shoulder its responsibility to salvage peace in the region and the added value of its visit to the occupied Palestinian territories. Settlement building is the most serious threat to the entire peace process. The most recent development in that regard was the decision taken by the Israeli Government in the first week of this month to build more than 1,000 housing units in the occupied territories.”

“It also expresses gratitude for the assistance provided by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to countries hosting refugees until they can return home. By reaffirming its strong commitment to Syria's sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity, as well as to the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, today's resolution sends a very clear message to those who have any doubts as to our full commitment to a complete cessation of violence in Syria and to the success of Mr. Annan's six-point plan, so that work can begin as soon as possible towards a peaceful political settlement of the crisis in Syria in a manner that responds to the aspirations of our Syrian brothers and sisters.”

“It has unanimously agreed to the establishment of the United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria (UNSMIS), to be rapidly deployed on the ground at the discretion of the Secretary-General with the goal of putting an end to armed violence by all parties and fully supporting Mr. Annan's six-point plan. We sincerely hope that conditions will be met to allow for the deployment of UNSMIS on the ground as soon as possible. We are convinced that the deployment of a United Nations mission will contribute to monitoring the commitment by all parties to a cessation of all forms of violence and to the success of the Annan six- point plan. In its resolution, the Security Council rightly expresses appreciation for the major efforts made by countries neighbouring Syria to assist Syrian refugees.”

Among the meeting's results were a condemnation of the continuing acts of violence against Syrian civilians, a demand on the Syrian Government and all other parties to commit to a full cessation of violence, a call for close cooperation with the Joint Special Envoy of the United Nations and the League of Arab States, and the full implementation of his six-point plan. The committee also called on the Council to speed up the deployment of observers to Syria and to ensure the conditions and means necessary for the implementation of their mandate. Today the Council has responded to those calls.”

May God have mercy on the souls of the victims. My delegation wishes to express the satisfaction of the Kingdom of Morocco at the fact that, in just one week, the Security Council has been able to adopt two important resolutions by consensus concerning Syria (resolutions 2042 (2012) and 2043 (2012)). We first welcomed the initial agreement between the Joint Special Representative and the Syrian Government on an immediate cessation of fighting and violence throughout Syria. However, while violence has decreased as compared with the immediate past, the fact that it continues to exists shows that both parties have not fully committed to their responsibilities.”

In the following months, the Review Conference of the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects and the United Nations Conference on an Arms Trade Treaty will take place. All of those opportunities make it necessary that we demonstrate political will and harness our efforts in order to ensure a successful outcome to those meetings, showing our firm commitment to multilateralism in the field of disarmament and non-proliferation.”

“We believe that our active participation in a number of multilateral initiatives, such as the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism and the summit process on nuclear security, is a reflection of the importance that my country attaches to strengthening international and regional cooperation on nuclear security and on the fight against illicit trafficking in radioactive nuclear material. The exchange of expertise and experience in such initiatives helps to strengthen multilateral action in the field of non-proliferation and nuclear security. Accordingly, Morocco has organized a number of activities, including an international exercise on the response to a malicious act involving radioactive material, which was held in Rabat in March in collaboration with our international partners, including the IAEA.”

“In order to meet non-proliferation objectives and to enact the nuclear security measures that have been established by the relevant international entities in this field, it is crucial that all agreements be scrupulously and universally observed. Morocco welcomes the central role played by the IAEA in that regard. We call for support for those efforts and for increasing the Agency's financial and human resources. While adapting to meet the new global challenges, strengthening these norms and standards, however, should not become in itself an obstacle to development and to the peaceful use of nuclear energy for reasons of economic and social development.”

“We appeal for political flexibility so that the Conference can reach agreement on a programme of work that is balanced and makes it possible for the Conference to play its full role as a negotiating forum in the field of disarmament. Based on a complete prohibition of nuclear tests, my country regrets the late entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). In that regard, we reiterate our appeal to all States that have not yet done so to ratify the Treaty. Morocco, which from 2009 to 2011 worked together with France in order to facilitate the entry into force of the Treaty, is encouraged by the new ratifications and the possible ratification by an annex 2 State.”

“Morocco remains firmly convinced that the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free world requires the use of United Nations disarmament mechanisms, in particular the Conference on Disarmament (CD). The efficacy and the strength of these mechanisms depend, of course, on the political resolve of States, as well as on their compliance with the obligations and commitments they enter into. The lethargy that for years has been the hallmark of the Conference on Disarmament stands in marked contrast to the evolution of the international situation and the new security challenges that the world faces, which are undermining the shared goals of the international community, namely, the achievement of general and complete disarmament. We share the view that the problems of the CD are due to political events.”

The 2012 conference will be a historic opportunity to trigger a process that will make it possible to free this zone of weapons of mass destruction. In that context, we welcome the appointment of the facilitator and of the host country, as well as the consultations that have been convened, which we hope to see intensified so that the conference can be convened as soon as possible.”

“As a result of the successful outcome of the eighth NPT Review Conference, in 2010, we have seen that through dialogue it is possible to attain commitments that allow us to make progressive steps towards attaining the NPT objectives. At the same time, it remains necessary for all States parties to play their role fully and to shoulder their responsibilities, in order to build upon the progress that has been made. Morocco underscores the importance of adherence to the NPT and the conclusion of comprehensive safeguards agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) by all States of the Middle East region, including Israel.”

“The destruction of weapons of mass destruction is crucial, as they pose an ongoing risk that places a burden on the future of the world. Collective security requires a renunciation of proliferation and further commitments towards achieving complete and total disarmament. In the absence thereof, the risk of the acquisition of such weapons by non-State actors is not a mere hypothesis. It is therefore our duty to do our utmost to achieve the goals of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which remains the cornerstone of the global disarmament and non-proliferation regime and of the peaceful use of nuclear energy. It is undeniable that the universalization of a treaty as important as the NPT must be a common objective for our collective security.”

We believe that this debate is taking place in an international environment marked by progress in conventional arms control and by the desire to strengthen international cooperation aimed at addressing the challenges we face.

“We remain convinced of the impartiality and integrity of the IAEA as the sole competent body in that area and that, as a result, it should enjoy all necessary cooperation, including the required information and access. Here, we reiterate that the non-proliferation regime should not be weakened and that all States should scrupulously respect their safeguards obligations. The goal of nuclear disarmament, which my country values, continues to be put to the test if freely undertaken non-proliferation commitments are not respected. At the same time, we wish to underscore that that regime is based on a fundamental balance between the rights and obligations of States that no State may avoid.

“The latest report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) (S/2012/114, annex) shows that outstanding issues of the Iranian nuclear programme have still not been resolved. It is crucial that the dialogue between Iran and the P5+1 group resume as soon as possible. We remain convinced that dialogue and the diplomatic channel are the only way to find a solution to the issue. The success of such a dialogue requires a clear and sustained commitment in good faith and the avoidance of any action that could complicate the situation. We also believe that resolving the issue means compliance with Security Council resolutions and the requests of the International Atomic Energy Agency in the context of Iran meeting its international obligations.”

“The Committee continues to consider the cases of which it has been notified, and we hope that it will enjoy all the necessary support of Member States, just as we remain confident that it can continue to count on the professionalism and impartiality of the Panel of Experts. We also hope that the Committee will continue its consideration of the Panel of Experts' final report of 2011 in a constructive spirit that will enable it to reach a consensus on the publication of that report as soon as possible. In the same spirit, my delegation supports the intention of the Chair to organize a briefing for all States Members of the United Nations in the very near future in order to provide greater transparency to the work of the Council and its subsidiary bodies.”
