  1. “Indonesia is confident that that will not deter Colombia's strong commitment to making further strides towards peace and stability. Indonesia is privileged to have been part of Colombia's endeavour. In 2015, at the request of Colombia's Government, I led a high-level delegation to Bogota to share Indonesia's experiences in ending its 29-year conflict with the Free Aceh Movement. Indonesia was therefore very happy when, in 2016, the Colombian Government and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia-Ejercito del Pueblo (FARC-EP) signed the Final Agreement for Ending the Conflict and Building a Stable and Lasting Peace, which provides important guidelines and sets out the path towards peace and reconciliation. Its full implementation by all parties will provide lasting peace, stability and prosperity.”

  2. “I would like once again to congratulate you, Mr. Minister, on the Dominican Republic's presidency of the Security Council. I am very glad to see you again. I thank Mr. Carlos Ruiz Massieu for his briefing and congratulate him on his appointment. Let me also welcome His Excellency Mr. Carlos Holmes Trujillo Garcia, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Colombia. Allow me to convey Indonesia's deepest condolences to the people and the Government of Colombia following the terrorist attack in Bogota last week. We condemn terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security. The recent bombing shows the complexity of challenges faced by Colombia.”

  3. “Regarding Yemen, Indonesia welcomes the various United Nations-led processes, including the establishment of the United Nations Mission to Support the Hudaydah Agreement. The Mission is a critical step towards establishing peace and facilitating humanitarian access. Indonesia stands ready to contribute. With respect to Lebanon, we pay tribute to the excellent work of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in keeping peace. We are honoured that 1,308 Indonesian peacekeepers, 45 of whom are women, are part of UNIFIL. Finally, any violence and disproportionate use of force against civilians by anyone, anywhere, must be rejected. All parties must exercise maximum restraint and continue working in good faith to move the peace process forward. I underline that the spirit of multilateralism must be revived.”

  4. “Indonesia, too, has significantly increased its contribution to UNRWA, and we will step up our humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people. Let me emphasize that UNRWA has a humanitarian mandate and is not a political agency. The plight of5.4 million Palestinian refugees is at stake. With regard to Syria and Yemen, continued efforts towards peaceful and inclusive political solutions must be further encouraged. Syria has seen more than a decade of suffering. We condemn the recent series of bombings that led to a number of casualties. We therefore welcome the latest efforts towards advancing a credible political process. We call on all parties to ensure the success of that Syrian-led, Syrian-owned United Nations-facilitated process, which would lead to a concrete pathway to peace.”

  5. “Let me reiterate loud and clear: the two-State solution is the only option for solving the Palestinian issue. Unity and reconciliation are also of paramount importance. Therefore, I commend Ambassador Riyadh Mansour for his statement on Palestine's determination to pursue unity and reconciliation. Moreover, we commend countries that have upheld principled positions in line with many United Nations resolutions, including on the status of Jerusalem. Thirdly, humanitarian collapse, especially in Gaza, must be stopped. The 11-year blockade is unjust. It does not contribute to solving the problem and must be lifted. We appreciate those who have provided generous contributions to fill the UNRWA budget deficit and improve conditions in Gaza.”

  6. “If not, it amounts to provocative action as well as a violation of Israel's responsibilities under various international agreements. Furthermore, we reject the continued expansion of illegal settlements. It is provocative, not to mention morally and legally wrong. Palestinian families are driven unjustly from their homes. It has to end. Secondly, the peace process requires legitimacy, and legitimacy comes when the process is under the guidance of a multilateral mechanism based on internationally agreed parameters. Any peace plans that fail to accommodate such parameters will not succeed. What we are witnessing now is disturbing, as agreed parameters have been undermined, including the attempts to move away from the two-State solution.”

  7. “In that context, I wish to underline three main points. First, all sides must comply with international law and the relevant resolutions, in particular 478 (1980) and 2334 (2016), as a matter of urgency. Continued violence and the violation of international law and the relevant United Nations resolutions reduce the Council's credibility. That must be stopped and credibility must be restored. Compliance with international law also includes refraining from provocative actions or rhetoric. Two days ago, the Israeli media circulated news of the planned closure of schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in East Jerusalem next year. I truly hope that such news is a hoax.”

  8. “First of all, congratulations, Sir, on your able presidency of the Security Council. Iwish to thank Mr. Nickolay Mladenov for his briefing. I also wish to warmly congratulate Palestine for assuming the chairmanship of the Group of 77. It shows the international community's vote of confidence in Palestine. My presence here today is intentional. It is to show Indonesia's consistent support for the Palestinian cause. It is a natural and legal right of Palestine to be a full Member of the United Nations. The road to Palestine's membership has been, and will remain, bumpy. Everybody knows that. But I am sure that bumpy road will not stop Palestine and the international community from fulfilling that right. Palestine deserves the Council's full attention. The Palestinian question defines the credibility of the Council.”

  9. “As a true partner for world peace, Indonesia will continue to contribute to the maintenance of the world order. We are ready to share our experience, play our role in strengthening respect for international law and promote the peaceful settlement of disputes in our region and beyond. Indonesia has made concrete contributions to shaping norms and maintaining peace in the past and the present, and will continue to do so in the future.”

  10. “In that context, regional arrangements, as mandated by Chapter VIII, are crucial as a building block for global peace and stability. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is an example. ASEAN contributes significantly to creating an ecosystem ofpeace, stability and prosperity in the region by upholding the principle of the peaceful settlement of disputes, the habit of dialogue and a win-win rather than a zero-sum approach. ASEAN will remain at the forefront in this area, including by helping to develop a peaceful, prosperous and inclusive Indo-Pacific region. Thirdly, we should ensure synergy between peace and development. Only through development, guided by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, can we build a peaceful world where people live in harmony.”

  11. “The Security Council must not neglect its responsibility to maintain peace and security for all. The peoples of the world are our constituents. The Charter begins with the phrase "We the peoples of the United Nations". We are responsible for them. The beneficiaries of the products of the Security Council must be all people worldwide. I would like to convey some of our thoughts on strengthening the maintenance of world peace and security. First, it is the Council's responsibility to function in accordance with international law. The Council is an executive organ of the United Nations and must remain on track. Secondly, ensuring peace and security in our immediate neighbourhood is key to global peace and security.”

  12. “The Council's main mandate is to ensure that peace and security prevail. To that end, it is very important to uphold international law and ensure the implementation of all the Council's commitments and resolutions, including those on Palestine, many of which have not been fully implemented. It is also important to ensure that all members are part of the solution and not of the problem. It is also essential that Article 25 of the Charter of the United Nations be implemented in tandem with the Charter's principles, particularly those outlined in Articles 1 and 2. Why is it important to uphold international law? It protects the weak and, more importantly, prevents a mighty-takes-all approach. An issue's rightness should not depend on the degree to which the most powerful determine that it accords with their own interests.”

  13. “I would first like to express my appreciation to Poland for organizing today's debate. This week Indonesia experienced a series ofterrorist attacks. As a nation, we are not afraid. I repeat, we are not afraid. We will not give space to violent extremism or terrorism. Our whole nation is standing together to strengthen its fight against terrorism, and I thank the Council for its support and words of condolence. Inshallah, we will succeed in fighting them. Let us unite to develop a global comprehensive approach to combating terrorism and violent extremism. Violent extremism and terrorism are just some of the many challenges we face today, from transnational organized crime to conflicts, wars and extreme poverty. Such issues help to focus our attention on the role of the Security Council.”

  14. “We welcome the Secretary-General's efforts in proposing a reform of the peace and security pillar of the United Nations system. Fourthly, engagement with regional and subregional organizations should be enhanced to support political processes in peacekeeping missions, and fifthly, we should have more women peacekeepers. I have witnessed at first hand how women peacekeepers are well positioned to help win the hearts and minds of the locals and to effectively protect civilians, as well as prevent and combat sexual exploitation and abuse. As a candidate for non-permanent membership of the Security Council in 2019-2020, Indonesia will remain committed to being a true partner for world peace.”

  15. “Together, we need to find a new way to provide cost-effective and innovative procurement of equipment to address capability gaps in peacekeeping missions, including the participation of strategic industries from developing countries. Thirdly, strong partnership and an approach coordinated among all stakeholders must be improved. Troop- and police-contributing countries and host States should be given more voice in designing mandates. The Security Council should make sure that mandates are clear and realistic, have an achievable exit strategy, and are focused on supporting political processes. The Secretariat should formulate policies that are flexible and less bureaucratic, allowing missions to perform more effectively.”

  16. “First, we need to consider new ideas in protecting civilians in conflict situations, including new measures to ensure the safety and security of peacekeepers on the ground. Secondly, we can no longer do business as usual. Peacekeeping missions and peacekeepers must be well trained and well equipped, adequately resourced and geared to win the hearts and minds of the local community. Since each conflict has its own dynamic, it is important to formulate tailored capacity-building for peacekeepers. For that reason, Indonesia established its own peacekeeping centre in 2007 as a training ground for Indonesian peacekeepers and a hub for peacekeeping training centres in the region.”

  17. “Thirdly, the safety and security of our peacekeepers is a shared responsibility of us all in this body. Members of the Council may rest assured that ASEAN will continue to promote and support United Nations peacekeeping through ASEAN- led mechanisms and collective efforts. I will now speak in my national capacity. Indonesia has been providing peacekeeping services for more than 60 years and since 1957 has deployed more than 37,000 peacekeepers to various United Nations missions. Today, Indonesia is one of the ten largest contributors to United Nations peacekeeping, with more than 2,650 personnel in nine missions, 83 of whom are female peacekeepers. Last month, I visited our troops in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, to which Indonesia contributes the greatest number of troops. I wish to share my observation from the ground.”

  18. “I thank the presidency of the Netherlands for convening this timely debate. I appreciate the briefings by the Secretary-General and other briefers. I am honoured to speak on behalf of the 10 States members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). While noting that efforts to make United Nations peacekeeping more effective and efficient are under way, priority should be given to the field missions and the people on the ground. In the light of that, ASEAN would like to offer the following points. First, reform should be geared towards enhancing performance and capabilities and improving and expediting decision-making processes in the field missions. Secondly, in order to conclude a mission successfully, the budget and other resources must match the mission's mandates.”

  19. “At the international level, the role of the United Nations should be strengthened, including by enhancing coordination among the various United Nations bodies related to counter-terrorism, as well as synergizing with counter-terrorism initiatives other than in the United Nations framework. In conclusion, I would like to take this opportunity to ask the Security Council to devote more political energy, vigour and time to resolving conflicts peacefully and to counter terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, in line with the mandate and responsibilities enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations.”

  20. “We have, among other things, done this through interfaith dialogue and by ensuring the teaching of Islam in the education system while stressing that its teachings bring about blessings and prosperity. In response to the emergence of ISIS and foreign terrorist fighters, we must also strengthen international cooperation, in particular on intelligence, as well as among the relevant law enforcement agencies and legal instruments. We must also bolster the exchange of information and experience on legislation on foreign terrorist fighters, enhance the promotion of tolerance and moderation and improve border security.”

  21. “We also need a comprehensive approach. While recognizing the role of the hard-power approach, Indonesia believes that the soft-power approach is important for preventive measures in countering terrorism. Indonesia believes in the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement in efforts to counter the terrorist ideology. The role of women - I emphasize - should be empowered, for they are a key pillar in providing children with guidance, values, tolerance and education. The role of moderates and civil society should also be promoted to provide counter- narratives to terrorist propaganda. For its part, Indonesia is committed to addressing the cycle of radicalization.”

  22. “For our part, Indonesia remains committed to supporting the peaceful resolution of conflict in the Middle East and North Africa, while respecting the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of all States. A myriad of issues have arisen as a result of continued conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa. Issues such as the influx of irregular migrants, the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and the emergence of foreign terrorist fighters are proof of how this situation can significantly impact other regions and threaten international peace and security. Indonesia believes that the key to addressing the rise of ISIS and the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters is by addressing the root causes. That is why the launching of an all-inclusive political process is imperative.”

  23. “Ithank you, Mr. President, for organizing this open debate. Instability and prolonged conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa continue to cause a high number of causalities and material costs. The international community must work harder in concert to tackle this issue. In our view, a political solution through diplomacy is the only way to resolve the conflicts. We firmly believe lasting peace can be achieved only through a peaceful process. We must therefore create the space and opportunity for an inclusive political dialogue and reconciliation to take place. It is important that such inclusive political and reconciliation process has no pre-set or preconceived outcomes.”
