1. “He affirmed that “it is essential to resist forces of division that spread misunderstanding and mistrust especially among peoples of different religions. The fact is, humanity everywhere is bound together, not only by mutual interests, but by shared commandments: to love God and neighbour; to love the good and neighbour”. In conclusion, we do not need treaties and agreements, but we do need the spirit of partnership to build and sustain peace. It is imperative that learners of all ages understand that these are global, not local, issues and that they, as global citizens, have a global responsibility and need to become active promoters of more peaceful, tolerant, inclusive, secure and sustainable societies.”

2. “One of the goals of the Aqaba Process, which was launched in 2015 by Jordan, is to improve counter-radicalization efforts, raise awareness and explain the true values of Islam while focusing on counter-messaging, providing non-Muslim countries with an opportunity to better understand how to tackle sensitive, religious, social and cultural issues. Effective management of religious tolerance and cultural diversity is a major catalyst for creativity and innovation. Religious and cultural diversity can be an enrichment for societies and is required to contribute to peacebuilding and solidarity through dialogue and common initiatives. In 2010, King Abdullah II of Jordan introduced the World Interfaith Harmony Week during the twelfth plenary meeting of the sixty-fifth session of the General Assembly in New York.”

3. “Almost as fast as the Internet and other technologies evolve, forces of hatred find ways to abuse them: recruiting the vulnerable; trafficking weapons and illegal goods; planning and directing terrorist actions; and publicizing atrocities that have shocked the human conscience worldwide. We need to act, and that demands the combined capabilities and strategic insights of technology companies, civil society and Governments worldwide. Much of what we see online about religion today is all about what separates people. Around the world, suspicions are inflamed by what different groups do not know about others.”

4. “In this context, we welcome the fact that the normative framework calling for the participation and empowerment of women and youth in peacebuilding processes has continued to take shape, though much more needs to be done to meaningfully include them during local, national and regional peacebuilding efforts and peace processes. We encourage all Member States to strengthen and sustain efforts that recognize the potential of young people as key drivers of positive change and give them the space to exercise it in peace processes and peacebuilding efforts, at both decision - making and implementation levels.”

5. “It is our strongest defence against turmoil and our greatest promise of a future of prosperity, security and peace. Diversity must also be recognized without affecting equality before the law. In 2015, upon the initiative of Jordan, the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 2250 (2015), which is the first resolution on youth, peace and security. The resolution emphasizes the importance of youth as agents of change in the maintenance and promotion of peace and security. It highlights participation, partnerships, prevention, protection, and disengagement and reintegration as the five pillars for action related to young people’s contribution to peace processes and conflict resolution.”

6. “Sustaining peace must also involve a larger, multidimensional strategy in which national Governments and stakeholders do their part to fulfil responsibilities and commitments on the ground. Socioeconomic development through economic and human development is indispensable for State-building and sustaining peace. The latter requires robust education systems and resilience-building to increase the capacity of communities potentially exposed to conflict to adapt and recover. Jordan underlines the importance of inclusivity to ensure that the needs of all segments of society are taken into account and further reaffirms the importance of accountability for sustaining peace and State-building. Inclusion is the path to the coexistence we need to build strong successful States.”

7. “We express our deep concern over the additional challenges posed by the socioeconomic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in areas of conflict, particularly on the most vulnerable populations. The pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing vulnerabilities, including the situation of women, children and local communities. The crisis is reversing development and peacebuilding gains, aggravating conflicts and undermining efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Peacebuilding applies to all phases of conflict. United Nations peacekeeping missions, which Jordan has proudly been part of for decades, have long helped to create a space for peace to be developed; however, peacekeeping missions alone cannot produce lasting peace.”

8. “Let me begin by congratulating the Republic of Kenya for assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of October. I also express my profound gratitude to Kenya for convening this timely meeting. Embracing diversity is indeed the key to a peaceful world. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis has already created multiple ripple effects, impacting countries and peoples in every corner of the world, as well as the role of multilateralism and the future of the United Nations. We believe that the United Nations has a key role to play in bringing the lessons of the current crisis to bear on the design of new paradigms that place greater emphasis on the broader challenge of addressing human needs through the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and other frameworks for international cooperation.”
