  1. “As a result of occupation, some parts of our State territory are beyond the Government's control, which has led to the establishment of so-called black holes, where a significant amount of CFE Treaty- limited conventional armaments has been deployed and cannot be accounted for under the Treaty. That is in gross violation of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, to our great concern. All of those problems reconfirm that there is still room for an expansion and deepening of cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations. We are ready to contribute, within our capacities, to that process.”

  2. “That is not to say that we seek a substitute for the peace process; rather, we seek to provide encouragement and support for the ongoing mediation efforts conducted by the OSCE. We believe that the consideration of those conflicts by the United Nations and its General Assembly will have a positive impact on the existing negotiations and reveal the determination of the international community, in particular the United Nations, to continue to take practical steps to settle those conflicts. Any settlement will have to be based on the norms and principles of international law. Another OSCE dimension that needs to be mentioned here is the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty.”

  3. “The Secretary-General stated in today's meeting that the United Nations is committed to helping build up the capacities of regional and subregional organizations to undertake conflict prevention, peacemaking and peacekeeping tasks in their respective regions. That approach would reinforce and mutually complement the activities of the United Nations and regional organizations, in particular the OSCE, in maintaining international peace and security, consistent with Chapter VIII of the Charter. With that in mind, and with the aim of giving new impetus to the peace process and facilitate the final settlement of certain conflicts on the OSCE agenda, the United Nations may and should consider those conflicts.”

  4. “The African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, the European Union's contribution to the protection of civilians in Chad and the Central African Republic, the activities of the Association of South-East Asian Nations in Myanmar, the role of the Economic Community of West African States in elections in West Africa, NATO in Afghanistan and Kosovo, the Organization of American States' support for the electoral process in Haiti, and regular consultations with the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the League of Arab States, as well as with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the European Union, on European security are examples of such broad and comprehensive cooperation.”

  6. “Respect for the law and its application is a value we share and our common responsibility. The international order must not be imperilled by the selective application of international law. Justice and the rule of law must not be compromised or held hostage to narrow political interests.”

  7. “Following the discussions held in the General Assembly on 23 November 2004, conducted at the initiative of Azerbaijan, the OSCE fact-finding mission visited the occupied territories of Azerbaijan from 30 January to 5 February 2005 and confirmed the illegal transfer and settlement of more than 17,000 people. Despite all the difficulties it has faced and the continued occupation, Azerbaijan has always adhered, and continues to adhere, to the principle of a political settlement of the conflict, on the basis of the relevant provisions of international law, in particular Security Council resolutions and OSCE decisions. The role of the Security Council in strengthening the rule of law is indispensable, especially when it comes to the prevention and resolution of armed conflicts.”

  8. “The continued occupation has profound and devastating implications, given that illegal activities such as the exploitation of natural resources and the destruction of historical and cultural monuments have taken place in the occupied territories. Moreover, the illegal transfer of settlers has been carried out for the purpose of changing the pre-conflict demographic situation. All those activities represent grave violations of the norms and principles of international law, in particular international humanitarian law. Azerbaijan has repeatedly provided information about the illegal settlements, the misappropriation of natural resources and the demolition of Azerbaijani historical and cultural monuments in the occupied territories.”

  9. “In 1994 Azerbaijan requested the dispatch of a United Nations fact-finding team to the occupied territories to verify the status of the implementation of the resolutions. However, that request has gone unanswered. In 2003 Azerbaijan once again urgently appealed to the Security Council and the Secretary-General to take all necessary steps to ensure compliance with those provisions. The Security Council has at its disposal a wide range of tools to promote compliance with its decisions. The fact that the Security Council 06-4010] did not ensure the implementation of its resolutions has resulted in the prolongation of the conflict, the aggravation of the situation on the ground and the further jeopardization of the peace process.”

  10. “Azerbaijan has yet to see those resolutions of the Security Council implemented, although their provisions established a clear-cut mechanism for monitoring their implementation. In particular, a request was made to the Secretary-General, the Chairman-in-Office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the Chairman of the OSCE Minsk Conference to report to the Council on the progress of the Minsk process and on all aspects of the situation on the ground, in particular on the implementation of the relevant resolutions. Regrettably, none of the fundamental principles of international law affirmed by the Council with respect to the aggression and continued occupation has ever been respected. Azerbaijan has appealed several times for the fulfilment of the resolutions' demands.”

  11. “In 1993, when Azerbaijan became the object of military aggression and when its sovereignty and territorial integrity were violated, the Security Council reacted promptly and decisively by adopting four resolutions: resolution 822 (1993), resolution 853 (1993), resolution 874 (1993) and resolution 884 (1993). The Security Council reaffirmed the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, the inviolability of its international borders and the inadmissibility of the use of force for the acquisition of territory. Each resolution unequivocally demanded the immediate, complete and unconditional withdrawal of the occupying forces from all occupied territories of Azerbaijan and the creation of safe conditions for the return of refugees and displaced persons to their place of permanent residence.”

  12. “Our ultimate goal today is to achieve peace and security, which cannot be fully attained or guaranteed without respect for the rule of law at both the national and international levels. In accordance with the United Nations Charter, the Security Council is the principal organ entrusted by the Member States with primary responsibility for the 06-4010] maintenance of international peace and security. Thus the Security Council is at the forefront of strengthening international law in the maintenance of international peace and security, through its effective application and implementation.”

  13. “Let me join previous speakers in expressing our thanks and appreciation to you, Madam President, for having convened this debate, the topic of which is of particular interest to my country. We are also grateful to Denmark for having prepared the non-paper containing very valuable and straight-to-the-point reflections about the role of the Security Council in strengthening the rule of law in international affairs. We would like to express our appreciation to Mr. Michel, the Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs, and to Judge Higgins, President of the International Court of Justice, for their valuable contributions. International law, as a set of universal norms and principles, constitutes the very foundation of inter- State relations.”
