“We are optimistic about the positive impacts of her efforts and commitment to assist the populations involved with regard to regional stability and the prospects for integration within the European Union. Given the dynamism initiated and sustained by the Kosovo and Serbian parties, one could expect some resistance to emerge and stand in the way of the implementation of the 19 April agreement and the subsequent agreements. In that respect, we praise the responsible attitude of the Serbian leaders to plead the case with the leaders in northern Kosovo to implement the agreements. We are counting on the involvement of local authorities and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) to promote dialogue and restore confidence.”

“In that regard, the parties agreed on 20 June on the composition of the management team representing the four northern Kosovo municipalities, which will draft the statute of the association or community of the Kosovo Serb municipalities and exercise some of its powers on an ad interim basis. All of the those developments would not have been possible without the firm commitment of both parties and good offices, specifically those of the European Union. In that regard, I would like to commend the commitment of the European Union, specifically that of the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Ms. Catherine Ashton. We commend her leadership, determination and perseverance to overcome difficulties and work with the parties in negotiations aimed at bringing about specific outcomes.”

“That latest agreement, in particular, lays out concrete steps and timelines for implementation, including the necessary adjustments to the existing legal frameworks to accommodate the establishment of an association or community of Kosovo Serb municipalities, the integration of the Serbian police and judicial structures, and preparation for local elections. More encouraging still, the parties have maintained and strengthenedtheir commitments through the holding of high-level and expert-level meetings to consolidate and accelerate implementation of the agreements.”

“Mr. Loulichki (Morocco) (spoke in French): Let me at the outset thank Mr. Farid Zarif, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, for his very exhaustive briefing and welcome him here today. We also of course welcome Foreign Minister Ivan Mrkie and Mr. Enver Hoxhaj,. The positive trend in the relationship between the Serbian and Kosovo parties over the past few months has been given significant impetus in the wake of the signing by the two sides in Brussels on 22 May of a new agreement for an implementation plan for the first agreement on principles governing the normalization of relations of 19 April 2013.”

“The Haitian political forces are therefore urged at this very crucial stage of the modern history of their country to transcend their differences and put the national interests above their partisan interests in order to ensure the stability of Haiti and the well-being of its people. We hope that they will be up to the task of assuming that responsibility. We are certain that they will spare no effort to achieve that stability, bring Haiti back to a state of normality and launch the sustainable development of the country.”

“While we support the Haitian Government in its efforts to assume its responsibilities, specifically for security and socioeconomic development, we call on MINUSTAH to continue to pursue its valuable support for the Haitian authorities, in close collaboration with the country team and Haiti's regional and international partners. A short time ago, the Special Representative welcomed and underscored the efforts of senior Haitian officials in the areas of security, reconstruction and the economy. Also in that regard, it is correct to insist on the importance of holding elections as soon as possible.”

“Aware of its primary responsibility in improving the socioeconomic situation of its population, the Government invested greatly during the reporting period in promoting and attracting foreign investment. Such efforts should be encouraged, especially given the roll-back in international assistance. Since its establishment, MINUSTAH has decisively contributed to the efforts to stabilize the country. We commend the Mission's staff for the work that they have accomplished up to this point in spite of the difficulties and obstacles they have faced.”

“The strengthening of recruitment for and capacity development of the Haitian National Police, in accordance with the 2012-2016 development plan, has enabled the police to take on greater responsibility, allowing the withdrawal of MINUSTAH from four departments. In that regard, the decrease by 50 per cent in the number of criminal acts and kidnappings as compared to 2012 is also extremely reassuring. On the humanitarian situation, although encouraging results have been achieved in terms of rehousing displaced persons by the end of2013, 279,000 people continue to be housed in 352 camps in deplorable sanitary conditions. Furthermore, the persistence of food insecurity, which was exacerbated by the impact of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, is still affecting almost 1.5 million people.”

“It is a positive sign that yesterday, as the Special Representative indicated, President Martelly submitted a draft law on elections to the Parliament. We would like these elections to be accelerated, and all parties, including MINUSTAH, should assist. We would like to support Ms. Honore's efforts in that regard, in particular the announcement and adoption of electoral laws and the promotion of dialogue among the various political stakeholders in order to find a consensus that would enable elections to be held as soon as possible . Concerning security, the collective action of MINUSTAH and the Haitian National Police are beginning to bear fruit, thus contributing to progressive and noticeable improvements in the country.”

“Liu Jieyi, on the occasion of his first participation in our work. I wish him all the very best. Morocco welcomes the concerted efforts by the Haitian authorities in various areas, especially those to develop its police force, strengthen capacities for elections and promote and ensure respect for human rights, as well as good governance. Politically speaking, the establishment of a transitional college of the permanent Electoral Council, as well as the advances made in the implementation of the Government's "five Es" policy programme, are positive developments, which we welcome. Now the constitutional work needs to be finalized so as to enable legislative, municipal and local elections to take place as soon as possible.”

“Mr. Loulichki. (Morocco) (spoke in French): Allow me, at the outset, to express my congratulations for a very successful Argentine presidency of the Security Council during this month of August, which has been very busy and has demanded the active participation of the presidency and all members of the Council until the very end of August. I would also like to congratulate Ms. Sandra Honore on her appointment as the new Special Representative of the Secretary-General. I welcome her presence here and thank her for her thorough briefing. We would also like to express our full appreciation to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) for the work accomplished so far. Finally, I would like to welcome our new colleague, the Permanent Representative of China, Mr.”

“We think that that is an important aspect that should indeed be delved into further in future reports of the Secretary-General in order to determine responsibility and prevent such interference. Improving access for humanitarian workers is strongly tied to the need to protect civilians in situations of armed conflict. In particular, that involves facilitating unfettered and safe access on the part of humanitarian organizations to those who need them. That access must be granted in a context of upholding the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence in all matters related to humanitarian affairs. Finally, the sixty-seventh session of the General Assembly was marked by the adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty, to which my country made its own humble contribution.”

“The protection of civilians is a matter, first and foremost, of primary responsibility for the States of which the civilians are nationals. However, it also touches upon the role of armed non-State actors, who unquestionably present a real challenge, given their responsibility for most of the recent armed conflicts we have seen, their participation in the commission of atrocities and massacres against civilians and their efforts to control humanitarian aid. As emphasized by the Secretary-General in one of his most recent reports, humanitarian activities continue to suffer from the meddling of State and non-State actors that are pursuing non-humanitarian objectives, which leads to the disruption of humanitarian projects and the diversion of aid.”

“and] the need for all actors to work together for a durable solution for refugees and internally displaced persons including voluntary safe, dignified and sustainable return, resettlement, or local integration, as appropriate". In that context, the Council correctly underscored the importance of registration, as it enables protection and the assessment of needs with regard to the provision and distribution of aid to refugees. The Council has requested that all actors take appropriate and necessary measures in order to guarantee the upholding of principles applicable to the protection of refugees and the rights of refugees, in particular with regard to the civilian and humanitarian nature of refugee camps.”

“Since the presentation in 1999 of the first report of the Secretary-General on the topic (S/1999/957), the Council has adopted several statements and resolutions particularly or specifically on the protection of civilians. At the same time, concern for the protection of civilians is increasingly being realized, thanks to United Nations action on the ground. My country is pleased to contribute to the achievement of that humanitarian goal through its participation in various peacekeeping operations. By adopting the presidential statement contained in document S/PRST/2013/2, the Council rightly sounded the alarm with regard to "the acute impact of conflict on refugees and internally displaced persons [...”

“It is clear that, despite the clarity and long-standing nature of rules governing the protection of civilians and the commitments of parties to conflict, civilians continue to pay a high price in clashes. The striking brutality that we have seen over the past months is yet another reminder of that. Challenges to the protection of civilians are enormous and have become increasingly complicated, owing to internal conflicts that become military in nature in a most dangerous way, taking on political, religious and sectarian dimensions that endanger the lives of civilians. It is inadmissible that violations of the fundamental rights to life, physical integrity and dignity of thousands of innocent people continue to occur in all impunity before our eyes without leading to a forceful and decisive response from the Security Council.”

“That protection has become increasingly necessary in the light of the trend towards asymmetrical wars, where regular armies face off against non-State armed groups. The imperative need for protection has also come to light given the devastating consequences of those conflicts and the use of increasingly deadly weapons. Although protection applies to all civilians, be they locals, refugees or international players such as journalists or humanitarian workers, particular concern must continue to be shown for women and children, who are innocent primary targets of exactions, Violations, atrocities and other types of abuses. Protection is an obligation set forth in international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law.”

“Mr. Loulichki (Morocco) (spoke in French): May I begin by thanking you, Madam President, for convening this relevant debate, the third that the Council has organized this year on the topic of the protection of civilians in armed conflict. The frequency of the debate illustrates the ongoing challenge that protection represents. We thank you, Madam President, for having launched the debate, and we would also like to hail the commitment of the Secretary-General, of Ms. Pillay, of Ms. Amos and of Mr. Spoerri, all of whom have worked for the protection of civilians in line with their institutions' respective mandates. Allow us to express our gratitude to them for their most edifying contributions to today's debate. The protection of civilians has always been at the heart of laws governing war and of international humanitarian law.”

“We therefore encourage Special Envoy Robinson, in conjunction with and supported by the Secretary-General's Special Representative for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to continue to support, coordinate and evaluate the implementation of those commitments. The Democratic Republic of the Congo ococupies a special place in the heart of the African continent. It holds enormous economic and human potential. Its stability and prosperity directly impact all its neighbours. The current process augurs well to ensure both the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes region the stability they long for and to free up the energies of that vast country and the entire region.”

“That having been said, the path ahead remains long and the bilateral partners and the United Nations system are all called upon to fully support the Democratic Republic of the Congo in restoring its authority throughout its national territory and in successfully achieving institutional reform, national reconciliation and human development. The countries of the region must quickly, fully and in good faith implement their respective commitments under the Framework Agreement, especially those relating to the strict respect of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

“We hope that this approach will be taken up in other crisis situations where the correlation between peace and development is so critical. Never have so many efforts been undertaken to resolve the Congolese crisis, and we must applaud that. Yet this important dynamic for peace cannot bear fruits uneless all signatories honour their commitments and build mutual confidence by building together a lasting peace and common prosperity. In that context, we welcome the commendable efforts undertaken by the Democratic Republic of the Congo to fulfil its obligations and to fully play its role in the peace process. The Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Republic of the Congo solemnly renewed that commitment this morning.”

“Regionally, the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region also put in place important mechanisms that are contributing to the stabilization and verification efforts. Finally, the joiny visit of the Secretary-General, the President of the World Bank and Ms. Robinson made it possible to graft onto the dynamics in the field an economic development dimension aimed at boosting economic exchanges, reduce vulnerabilities, and promote economic regional integration, especially through the reactivation of the Economic Community of the Great Lakes Countries (CEPGL) in favour of peace. We welcome this approach, which is being coordinated by the Secretary-General and the President of the World Bank, inaugurated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and planned for next autumn in the Sahel.”

“They all have a historical responsibility to end it definitively and irreversbly. The signing on 24 February of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes Region opened up real prospects for peace. The agreement, which is innovative in its approach, offers true hope for a sustainable end to instability in the region and a settlement of a crisis that has lasted too long. This opening has been supplemented by measures taken by the Council to adapt mandate of the United Nations Organization Stabilisation Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's (MONUSCO) to the realities on the ground, including with the adoption of resolution 2098 (2013).”

“The Democratic Republic of the Congo has suffered a succession of crises in recent decades that have harmed its national cohesion and threatened its sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity. Behind the criminal acts committed in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo by armed militias and other armed groups, such as the Mouvement du 23 mars, the Forces democratiques de libe'ration du Rwanda and the Lord's Resistance Army, lies a tragic humanitarian crisis that has impacted millions of lives and violated the fundamental rights of innocent civilians, especially women and children. The perpetrators of these crimes must be brought to justice. The impact of the Congolese crisis also has a regional dimension. The entire Great Lakes region and Central Africa have been affected by the crisis in humanitarian, security and economic terms.”

The peoples of the region and our entire continent attach great importance to this high-level meeting aimed at consolidating the peace dynamic arising from the Framework Agreement of 24 February.

“At the same time, it is unacceptable for the Council to remain silent in the light ofthe worsening crisis in Syria. That silence is counter to its important and historic responsibility enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. The convening of the "Geneva II" conference is a moral, political and human duty for all those with influence on the Syrian parties. We sincerely hope that everyone will assume their responsibilities.”

“In that way, all the countries of the region will be able to enjoy stability and peace and be able to begin a new chapter of cooperation. We are convinced that any progress in the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations will serve the interests of the Palestinian and Israeli peoples alike. That will also contribute to restoring stability and security for all States of the Middle East region. That stability also requires that there be an immediate halt to violence and finding a way out of the political crisis for which the brotherly people of Syria are paying the price. The increasing number of victims of that tragedy, as well as the resulting painful humanitarian situation, makes the Syrian parties responsible for the unity of their country.”

“The Palestinian people suffered and paid a price: displacement and the denial of their fundamental freedoms and human rights. Achieving the two-State solution makes it necessary for both parties to find a common vision. Such a vision must exclude narrow interests and must take into consideration the shared interests of both States, so as to achieve a genuine, just and forward-looking peace in the region. To that end, it is necessary that the international community abide by its commitments towards Arabs and Palestinians, so as to fulfil the promises made with regard to the establishment ofa viable Palestinian State, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and enabling Syria and Lebanon regain their occupied territory.”

“Most important among them are the lifting the blockade of the Palestinians in Gaza, who are part and parcel of the Palestinian people, and the release of Palestinian prisoners. The unjust blockade that has for years been imposed by Israel against Gaza must be lifted. The siege serves to deny Palestinians their dignity and basic human rights. In the current circumstances, achieving Palestinian national reconciliation is a necessity that must be met, for it will serve the interests of the Palestinian people as a whole and strengthen their negotiating position. Sixty-five years since the adoption of General Assembly resolution 181 (II), whereby the United Nations called for the establishment of two States, five wars have taken place, from which all peoples have suffered.”

“The construction and expansion of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, run counter to the principle of negotiations and also serve to undermine the peace process. That applies as well to Israeli measures in the Holy City of Jerusalem and to the repeated attempts to Judaize the city and change its character as a city of coexistence among the three divine religions. Given his responsibilities as Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, His Majesty the King of Morocco has condemned those measures and called upon the Council to ensure respect by Israel of the status of Jerusalem and to avoid negatively impacting Christian and Muslim holy sites. The preparations for the negotiations must be coupled with good-faith steps that are conducive to the success of such negotiations.”

“We hope that Israel willjoin this dynamism, contribute to its progress, and reverse the intensification of its occupation with a view towards achieving the two-State solution. The United States initiative has opened a window of change that may be the last. The two parties must therefore embrace it with a view to resuming negotiations, building on prior achievements to bring the two sides closer together. We hope that both parties will demonstrate strong and determined political will to prepare for and resume the negotiations, and avoid any actions that could impede them. The ongoing occupation and its daily repercussions, as well as the siege imposed on the Palestinian people, generate violence and radicalism and fuel hatred, thereby undermining any hope for peace.”

“Morocco has acknowledged and supported the United States initiative, and today we place great hope in it, in the light of the circumstances surrounding a possible resumption of serious negotiations with a view to reaching a comprehensive and just peace based on a settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict that will guarantee Israel's withdrawal from the Arab territories it has occupied since 1967, and the establishment of a Palestinian State with its capital in East Jerusalem. Everyone here knows that the Arab and Palestinian side has demonstrated staunch political resolve and responsibility towards achieving peace in the Middle East. They have contributed to crystallizing an Arab initiative known to be open, courageous and peaceful, as affirmed in Washington, DC, by the Arab ministerial committee.”

“Mr. Loulichki (Morocco) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I thank Mr. Serry for his comprehensive briefing on the peace process in the Middle East, including Palestine. Today's debate takes place in critical circumstances, given the efforts of Mr. Kerry, under the auspices of the United States Administration, to revive negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis. These efforts have led to an agreement in principle to relaunch the peace process, which has been frozen for more than three years. It is no secret that I attend this meeting in the personal hope of hearing a new statement of optimism concerning the prospects for resumed negotiations that are focused on success and a refusal to blame others for failure.”

“The context ofconflicts exposesjournalists directly or indirectly to every kind of danger. Competition, exclusivity restrictions and the actions of the parties to conflict contribute to making their mission even more dangerous and likely to get out of hand. The fundamental rights of journalists to life and to exercise their profession in favourable conditions, in safety and without constraint, must be guaranteed. Those rights go hand in hand with the protection of their right to freely express themselves and to have free access to all areas where the human condition requires the presence of journalists in order to report on the human condition according to international standards.”

“The direct exposure of journalists to the crossfire of parties to conflicts caused an African journalist to observe that the life expectancy of a journalist covering a conflict is a renewable 24 hours. The coverage of conflicts is at the same time a mission and a responsibility. First, it is a mission because it allows journalists to bear first witness and provide information objectively and without bias. It is also a responsibility that requires integrity and impartiality from the journalist, in order not to sacrifice journalistic principles to the immediacy of the information or the scoop. The protection of journalists, particularly in times of war, is therefore an absolutely necessity, as it embodies the respect of the freedom of expression and the right to information.”

“Finally, UNESCO adopted the United Nations Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity, which contains several provisions. We must note that, in spite of all those measures, the number of victims among journalists is continuing to grow. The year 2012 alone saw 32 deaths. We hope that today's debate will advance thinking on the best ways to protect journalists in times of war, taking into account the specificity and dangerous nature of their work. In a world quintessentially full of information, the journalism profession has a vital, and unfortunately dangerous role to play even in normal times, but even more so in times of conflict, specifically in times of internal conflict.”

For its part, the Human Rights Council adopted resolution 21/12 in September 2012, emphasizing the promotion of a safe environment, enabling journalists to carry out their profession in an independent manner.”

My country continues to support the global objective of nuclear disarmamen and to recognize the right of all States to use nuclear energy for exclusively peaceful ends. The non-proliferation regime is based on a delicate balance between States' rights and obligations that must be protected, preserved and strengthened through full respect for those provisions.”

On that basis, we welcome the ongoing talks between Iran and the five permanent members of the Security Council and Germany, in the hope that, as soon as dialogue begins, it will allow for progress to be made towards a solution that is acceptable to the parties.

We hope that, in the light of the most recent developments in the Islamic Republic of Iran, that country and the IAEA will soon reach an agreement to begin in-depth work on these questions. As the only institution responsible for guarantees, the IAEA must receive full cooperation in order to make concrete progress on the pending questions.”

“Morocco stresses again the importance of full respect for peacekeeping operations mandates and the basic principles that govern them - that is, the consent of the parties, the non-use of force except in legitimate self-defence and impartiality. Finally, Morocco is a traditional contributor to United Nations peacekeeping operations in terms of troops but also of training and humanitarian assistance. We therefore remain committed to our peacekeeping and peacebuilding missions. In conclusion, I would like to pay tribute once again to all the men and women who have paid with their lives for their dedication to the cause of peace, while calling on the United Nations to continue to strengthen the measures that will ensure greater security for its peacekeeping troops.”

“All of which shows how important it is to continue reflecting on how to use those new technologies, and to arrive at a consensus on the subject at the level of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations in order to clarify every aspect of their use. The success of peacekeeping operations rests on crucial interdependent factors such as realistic mandates, triangular cooperation between the Secretariat, the troop-contributing countries and the executive department in planning both the implementation of those mandates and genuine exit strategies along with measures ensuring sustainable development.”

“It also underlined the importance of supplying all the various United Nations missions with the human, logistical and technical means they need to carry out their respective tasks adequately. The subject of the use of new technology in peacekeeping operations deserves greater reflection. Yesterday, we heard Mr. Ladsous and Ms. Ameerah Haq's discussion (see S/PV.6985) of the new security and logistical challenges facing the forthcoming United Nations mission in Mali, owing to climatic conditions that require innovative approaches and the use of new technologies to ensure peacekeeping operations do not deplete the water table. However, it was explained that some technologies do not work, owing to extreme temperatures requiring the use of more basic communication methods.”
