  1. “Mr. Loulichki (Morocco) (spoke in French): I would like to start by thanking France for having organized this debate on a topic that affords us an opportunity to take stock of the progress achieved and the best practices, so that we may together identify areas in which additional efforts are necessary to guarantee better protection of civilians in armed conflict. I would also like to pay tribute to the valuable contributions to this debate by Ms. Amos, Mr. Le Roy and Mr. Simonovic'. The Security Council has been considering for over a decade the question of the protection of civilians in armed conflict. This ongoing commitment by the Council has led to progress in terms of norms, which should be welcomed, and to progress on the ground, which needs to be consolidated.”

  2. “It is high time for Israel to demonstrate genuine resolve and will to respond to the Arab Peace Initiative and a commitment to living side by side with its neighbours and to building a cooperative, prosperous, secure and safe future for all.”

  3. “The Kingdom of Morocco, based on its support for peace, international law and legitimacy, the relevant resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, still supports and holds fast to the two-State solution providing for an independent, viable Palestinian State, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side in peace and security with the State of Israel. We also urge Israeli withdrawal from the Syrian Golan and all remaining occupied Lebanese territory. Every country and people of the region has had enough of the obstacles blocking the road to peace, the violence and counter-violence, the victims, tragedies, destruction, mistrust, hatred and alienation. It is high time to effect real and drastic change in the situation through the firm implementation of international law.”

  4. “It is no secret that all the elements of a just and comprehensive peace based on two functioning, viable States can be implemented. No one questions the Palestinian people's resolve and sincere desire to live in peaceful coexistence and national reconciliation. The only thing remaining is for Israel to demonstrate political will and a vision of a future free of hegemony. International efforts must be made to move the dynamics of the peace process forward in a region that has seen enough wars and tragedies, and in which all people can look forward to freedom, dignity and peace.”

  5. “The Gaza Strip is still enduring the frequent escalation of Israeli military operations, exacerbating a situation that was aggravated from the start by the blockade imposed on the civilian population, preventing them from enjoying the bare minimum of humanitarian assistance and the infrastructure necessary for survival. In this regard, we pay tribute to the continuing vital role of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and its support for the Palestinian people inside the occupied territories and in neighbouring countries. We welcome all initiatives to provide UNRWA with the financial and human resources needed to pursue its vital mandate to ensure the basic living conditions for an extremely important segment of the Palestinian population.”

  6. “Given its responsibilities as an Arab and Islamic State, and the responsibilities of His Majesty King Mohammed VI as Chair of the Jerusalem Committee of the OIC, Morocco denounces such acts, which affect the special legal status of that holy city and the rest of the Palestinian territories in blatant violation of international legitimacy and the foundations necessary to a just peace. We appeal to the international community to shoulder its responsibilities and to call unequivocally on Israel to end its unilateral actions and respond sincerely and positively to international efforts to resume negotiations forthwith in a way that will lead to their success.”

  7. “It has sought to change its original character and to build more housing units for its settlers, depopulating it of its Palestinian residents through forcible expulsions, home demolitions and revocation of their residency rights, in blatant violation of international humanitarian law and various Security Council resolutions. The Israeli authorities have continued to attack Islamic shrines; the international community must reject that policy, for it can only lead to increased religious friction both inside and outside the area.”

  8. “Israel's persistence in building settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories is an illegal act that cannot lead to sincere negotiations for a comprehensive and just solution on the basis of international efforts. Settlement construction is an obstacle that cannot be overcome or circumvented; it must be eliminated. Occupied Jerusalem and adjacent areas are no exception; not only have they not been spared such practices, they have been targeted more heavily than others. Israel has continued its illegal policy of Judaizing that city, which is sacred to all revealed religions.”

  9. “While we must voice our deep regret that the Quartet's meetings in March and April have been delayed, we value the constructive ideas produced by the delegations of France, the United Kingdom and Germany during the Security Council's meeting on 18 February (see S/PV.6484) on the objectives that must be attained, the most important of which is enabling the Palestinian people to establish an independent State in the territories occupied since 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This vision is consonant with the Arab Peace Initiative and appropriately lays the ground for overcoming the obstacles to direct negotiations. Since the suspension of direct negotiations, Israel has continued to forcibly annex more Palestinian territory, build more settlements, demolish houses and expel their owners from their ancestral cities and villages.”

  10. “Such efforts would support and complement the positive dynamism that emerged for an unfortunately brief period in the wake of the resumption of direct negotiations last September in Washington, DC, under the auspices of the United States. In that context, the role of the Quartet, with all its elements and international influence, remains extremely important to the task of launching a new and effective impetus for the negotiations that would bolster the Quartet's credibility and be judged on the basis of its concrete results in September.”

We also feel very optimistic about the continued efforts of the United States to fulfil those commitments, based on the established terms of reference of the peace process and in accordance with international law, the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Road Map. We look forward to continued international and regional efforts, based on the same vision, to achieve the same objectives.”

Only a few months remain before the international community's deadline for enabling the Palestinian people to achieve their legitimate aspirations to establish an independent and viable Palestinian State within the borders of 4 June 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side in peace and security with Israel.”

The Colombian presidency has demonstrated its wisdom, perceptiveness and vision. This does honour to your friendly country and its work, which deserves all possible praise.”

  14. “Above and beyond the efforts of the United Nations and the international community to establish, maintain and build peace, their role in the peaceful settlement of disputes and conflict prevention remains critical and must be developed, strengthened and adequately endowed with financial and human resources in the interests of peace and international security.”

  15. “Moreover, the international economic assistance provided by bilateral donors and international financial institutions must target projects that take account of a given country's economic, social and even cultural realities, its particular capacities and the prospects it offers to foreign investors. In that respect, our active policy is to support peacebuilding in many African countries, targeting multiplier sectors that contribute to human development, such as education, safe drinking water and electrification in rural areas.”

  16. “The leadership role of the host State faces challenges, but it is essential in that it allows for a better articulation of a national recovery strategy that combines all dimensions of peace, security and development. In that regard, it is important to promote the necessary synergy and coordination among national and international structures and to mobilize sustained resources. The United Nations must strengthen its capacities to define integrated strategies from the outset and to coordinate the activities of the various stakeholders on the ground responsible both for security and for development. This will contribute to making the international community's actions more coherent and coordinated.”

  17. “The United Nations post-conflict presence must help to develop national strategies targeting such key priorities as the promotion of women's rights, youth employment, the protection of vulnerable social groups, the establishment of the rule of law and the strengthening of State institutions. It is vital in that vast undertaking that the United Nations efforts be effectively coordinated so as to mesh the establishment of peace, peacekeeping, peacebuilding and development in a coherent manner. The Peacebuilding Commission has a key role to play in that context. It is essential that the international community strengthen the capacities of the host State to reduce poverty, economic recovery and provide basic services. Practice has amply demonstrated the critical importance of national ownership of peacebuilding.”

  18. “The establishment of lasting peace demands judicious management of the critical transition between peacekeeping and peacebuilding. That transitional phase must be addressed through an approach that allies security imperatives with development activities to stabilize a State emerging from conflict. This critical phase must be approached with a keen awareness of the high risk of relapse into conflict. Interlinkages between security and development are complex, and the transition to peacebuilding must be managed cautiously in an international environment characterized by the growing collusion among transnational criminal gangs, non-State actors and shadowy terror networks working together to weaken States, as they do in the Sahel-Sahara region.”

  19. “Mr. Loulichki (Morocco) (spoke in French): The ongoing and concrete commitment of your country, Madame President, to peacebuilding and development underlies the wise choice by your presidency of the topic of today's debate. It is a welcome coincidence that this debate complements that convened by the presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina last month, which we welcome. It allows us to undertake in-depth consideration and to act together to develop a truly integrated approach of the Security Council in addressing conflicts. The persistence of conflicts, their human and financial costs, and the imperatives of stability in the post-conflict phase require early interaction between the peacekeeping and peacebuilding phases.”

  20. “Based on our resolute choice for peace and our international legitimacy, we wish to reiterate that the two-State solution, which guarantees the establishment of an independent and Viable Palestinian State, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side with Israel in peace and security, as well as Israel's withdrawal from the Golan Heights and the remaining Lebanese lands, remain the only way to end decades of conflict in the Middle East. In order to reach that ultimate strategic goal, all efforts to continue direct negotiations and to put an end to all unilateral measures by any side should be strengthened in order to create an environment conducive to relaunching negotiations and to avoid extremism and violence and their dire consequences for all the peoples and States of the region.”

  21. “That initiative was based on the belief that peace in the Middle East is not only the concern of the opposing parties and the region itself, but is also a legitimate and immediate requirement of the international community, as the stability of the Middle East has a strong and direct impact on international peace and security. We wish to send the message that the settlements and the construction of new housing units are rejected and that they impede direct negotiations and undermine all substantive efforts for peace.”

  22. “The Kingdom of Morocco and His Majesty King Mohammed VI, who is the current Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, set up by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), express their grave concern and condemn all Israeli practices seeking to change the legal status of Jerusalem. The international community and the Security Council are requested to put an end to such practices. The Palestinian side, supported by the League of Arab States, the OIC, the Non-Aligned Movement and other States, opted to come to the Security Council on the matter of Israeli settlements to affirm the illegality of settlement activities and to urge the Council to shoulder its responsibility so as to restore hope in those who chose peaceful negotiations as a civil means to achieve peace.”

  23. “With regard to the occupied city of Jerusalem and its environs, Israel continues its illegal policy of Judaizing the Holy City through the destruction of its main original features and the recent demolition of a historic hotel in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of East Jerusalem in order to build 20 housing units in the centre of the city. Israel also declared that it will build 1,400 additional housing units for settlers in the southern part of Jerusalem. This will entail the expulsion of Palestinian owners, the demolition of their homes and the cancelling of their residency rights, in clear violation of international humanitarian law and Security Council resolutions. That is in addition to provocative measures targeting religious sites and aimed at inflaming religious sensitivities.”

  24. “In contrast to that firm Palestinian determination, Israel has continued its unilateral measures by implementing an expedited settlement policy in order to curtail all signs of Palestinian presence on their own land and to undermine the two-State solution, which Israel has repeatedly avowed and committed itself to. Israel is thus fully responsible for stalling the peace process. In the short period since the cessation of direct negotiations, the Israeli Government has continued to seize more land, to build more housing units and to demolish more Palestinian homes and expel its legitimate owners, all the while enacting new legislation limiting the conditions for its withdrawal from East Jerusalem and the occupied Syrian Golan.”

  25. “We also take this opportunity to express our wish that the American Administration continue its robust efforts, pursuant to the established principles of the peace process, resolutions of international legitimacy, the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Road Map. Alongside those American and international efforts, the Palestinian leadership has fulfilled all its international commitments under the Road Map. Moreover, it has also taken concrete steps towards establishing the foundations of an independent Palestinian State, for which the Palestinian people yearn, with the support of the international community.”

  26. “on 2 September 2010 under the auspices of the United States of America, when the Palestinian side, backed by undivided Arab support, stated its readiness to continue along the path towards peace and stability, as reflected in the American and other international parties' efforts. We wish to express our appreciation to President Obama for his efforts to relaunch a genuine peace process, including the commitments that he mentioned in his statement before the General Assembly on 23 September 2010 with regard to the rights of the Palestinian people and the establishment of an independent State within a set timeframe (see A/65/PV.11).”

We wish to stress that it is important to maintain the momentum that resulted following the resumption of direct talks in Washington, D. C.”

We also wish to express our thanks and appreciation to Mr. Lynn Pascoe, Under- Secretary-General for Political Affairs, for his comprehensive briefing.”

  29. “In conclusion, I would like to state that, beyond United Nations actions to restore and build peace, preventive diplomacy and early warning systems remain important tools available to the Security Council for the peaceful settlement of disputes, the de-escalation of emerging crises and the prevention of the return of conflict. They should be used more often and systematically so as to have a palpable impact on hotbeds of tension throughout the world.”

  30. “As the Secretary-General underlines, the proliferation of non-State armed groups has exacerbated the difficulties involved in protecting civilians. When these groups violate international law, they must be brought to justice by the international community. In addition, humanitarian agencies must ensure that humanitarian work is not used by these groups for political ends. My country urges the international community to confront the excessive accumulation of small arms and light weapons, whose devastating effect on the civilian population has been clearly demonstrated. These arms often constitute a genuine threat to the peace and security of entire regions when they are trafficked and used by terrorist groups to attack innocent persons and threaten States and groups of States.”

  31. “In protecting refugees, it is vital that the humanitarian and civilian nature of refugee camps not be compromised by the presence of armed elements and that refugees be able to exercise their right of voluntary return in security and dignity. Finally, in meeting the needs of refugees while protecting them, they must be counted and registered without delay. This is a primary, essential and inescapable obligation. My delegation strongly condemns all attacks on humanitarian personnel and convoys and calls for their protection. We equally condemn the diversion by a number of armed groups of humanitarian assistance, which, rather than reaching the populations in need, serves to enrich the leaders of these groups, who must be held accountable by the international community as perpetrators of serious violations of international humanitarian law.”

  32. “It should do so, of course, in adherence to current international obligations, rules and laws. We commend the Council's efforts to provide greater assistance to populations at risk. These efforts are strengthened by the mandate of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict and on Sexual Violence in Conflict. The effective implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) will undoubtedly help us to provide better protection for women. Similarly, the fight against the use of child soldiers must remain a priority of the international community. Refugees are the very first to suffer from the eruption or continuation of conflicts. Host States have the obligation to ensure that they fully enjoy their rights, including the right of return.”

  33. “We would, however, like to address some aspects of the issue under consideration. The best way to protect civilians in armed conflict is to prevent conflicts from erupting and to find lasting solutions to those that exist. In many situations, it is important that the parties involved demonstrate the political will and resolve necessary to finding lasting compromise solutions to end the suffering of affected populations. Neighbouring States - which, in a number of cases, are parties, in name or in fact, to conflict - must act responsibly to that end. The Security Council and the international community must support parties in this process by creating conditions conducive to putting an end to these conflicts. Primary responsibility, however, falls on the nation State to protect its citizens and other peoples living in its territory.”

  34. “For over 11 years, the Council has addressed this issue and has thus enriched the debate and created worldwide support for a sustained and concerted effort of the international community on the issue. Despite this progress, we are unfortunately forced to note that civilian populations continue to be the first victims of armed conflict. That reality requires all parties to armed conflict to abide by international law and refrain from any actions that cause harm to civilians. The report of the Secretary-General (S/2010/579) pursuant to resolution 1894 (2009) notes a number of positive international developments as well as the many challenges that remain. My delegation associates itself with the statement made by the Permanent Representative of Egypt on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement.”

  35. “Mr. Loulichki (Morocco) (spoke in French): My delegation's participation in this debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict is based on the importance that my country attaches to this goal and on its commitment, alongside the United Nations, to ensuring its implementation. Immediately after having suffered the horrors of the Second World War, the international community established important legal standards to protect civilians affected by armed conflict. These include the Geneva Conventions of 1949, the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and various international human rights instruments, whose main objective is to spare civilian populations from suffering, especially women, children and the elderly.”

In that regard, we would like to express our deep concern over the spread of terrorist activities in the Sahara and coastal areas and the intensification of trafficking activities in drugs, humans and small arms, which finances terrorist activities that affect the region and beyond and represent a grave danger to the entire area. At the national level, we have continued our tireless efforts to adapt our legislation to our international commitments, particularly in monitoring dual-use export material and in accordance with the free trade agreement that we concluded in recent years.”

With regard to the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) concerning Al-Qaida and the Taliban and associated individuals and entities, we welcome the efforts by that Committee in reviewing the Consolidated List to make it more accurate, credible and effective. Although we note the progress made in order to implement the provisions of paragraph 25 of resolution 1267 (1999), we believe further efforts are required to enhance transparency and contacts with concerned States.”

At the national level, Morocco has continued its intensified efforts to implement resolution 1373 (2001), particularly the practical parts regarding measures to counter money laundering. We established a special unit on financial transactions in 2009 that receives and deals with the reports submitted to it by banking institutions on suspicious financial transactions. It has begun to respond to those requests with a view to joining the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units in 2011.”

We believe, furthermore, that greater involvement by women in political life, the mediation process and the planning of sensitive activities would promote lasting peace. We are convinced that the new gender entity, led by Ms. Michelle Bachelet, will also make a substantial and valuable contribution to this goal.”

  44. “However, we believe that regular consultations among the World Bank, the Peacebuilding Commission, the United Nations Development Programme, the Peacebuilding Support Office and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations would enable the United Nations to fine-tune the strategies for post- conflict States. Peacebuilding is by its very nature more a civilian than a military exercise. Therefore, it is essential, as underscored by the Secretary-General in his report on peacebuilding in the immediate aftermath of conflict (S/2010/386), to create necessary civilian capacity in specialized and specific areas such as mediation and justice and security sector reform. In addition, peacebuilding will be effective only if women are actively and effectively involved in their societies.”

Moreover, the experience gained by the Peacebuilding Commission shows that no peacebuilding activity can be successful without including social and economic activities, such as economic revitalization, youth employment, the development of infrastructure and the provision of essential services. Along with previous speakers, I want to underscore the need for a partnership approach to peacebuilding involving host countries, the United Nations, troop-contributing countries and donors. Here, we welcome the Secretariat's steps to forge an active peacebuilding partnership with the World Bank.”

My country takes note with interest of the co-facilitators' review of the United Nations peacebuilding architecture (S/2010/393, annex). Its recommendations merit sustained attention, including those on coordination among local and international actors, strengthening the quality and staffing of the Secretariat's Peacebuilding Support Office, and on generating fresh momentum in the cooperation between the Security Council and the Peacebuilding Commission.”

My delegation, of course, aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of Bangladesh on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement, but I would nonetheless like to add a number of specific comments. Transforming conflict situations requires the United Nations to continuously review its working methods with respect to the maintenance of international peace and security in the light of the complexity and multifaceted nature of peacekeeping operations.”

  48. “We can never say it too often: The challenges related to peacebuilding are insignificant when compared to the costs of conflict and cannot be met without the political, moral and financial support of States, in particular that of neighbouring States, which must, first and foremost, abide by the requirements of good-neighbourliness and the peaceful settlement of disputes, a prerequisite for the promotion of friendly relations, peacemaking, peacebuilding and the establishment of regional security.”

  49. “In this regard, we support the seven commitments of the action plan proposed in the Secretary-General's report (S/2010/466). We believe, furthermore, that greater involvement by women in political life, the mediation process and the planning of sensitive activities would promote lasting peace. We are convinced that the new gender entity, led by Ms. Michelle Bachelet, will also make a substantial and valuable contribution to this goal.”

  50. “However, we believe that regular consultations among the World Bank, the Peacebuilding Commission, the United Nations Development Programme, the Peacebuilding Support Office and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations would enable the United Nations to fine-tune the strategies for post- conflict States. Peacebuilding is by its very nature more a civilian than a military exercise. Therefore, it is essential, as underscored by the Secretary-General in his report on peacebuilding in the immediate aftermath of conflict (S/2010/386), to create necessary civilian capacity in specialized and specific areas such as mediation and justice and security sector reform. In addition, peacebuilding will be effective only if women are actively and effectively involved in their societies.”
