  1. “There can be no durable peace in West Asia without ajust and comprehensive settlement, based on the realization by the Palestinian people of their inalienable right to a State of their own with internationally recognized borders, living side by side and in peace and security with Israel. We therefore urge both the Council and the Arab League to facilitate the resumption of the Middle East peace process as quickly as possible. The League of Arab States has been playing an important role in resolving the Syrian crisis. We fully support a peaceful settlement of the conflict through a Syrian-led, inclusive political process, based on a firm rejection of any military intervention. We urge all sides, Syrian and foreign, to cooperate in good faith with the Joint Special Representative, Mr.”

  2. “Both the United Nations and the League should use all the tools of diplomacy to help the countries concerned in their transition to an inclusive and participatory polity while maintaining social stability and cohesion. Their cooperation should encompass all the issues relevant to international peace and security, particularly the fight against terrorism. The principles of national sovereignty, political independence, unity and territorial integrity must be respected. It is also important that the peculiarities of each situation be kept in mind. If there is one issue that requires the immediate attention of both the United Nations and the League of Arab States, it is the Arab-Israeli conflict, including the Israeli-Palestinian issue. That issue cannot be ignored while we focus on recent developments in the region.”

  3. “That existing cooperation should now be further strengthened to help the countries of the region meet their peoples' aspirations to play a greater role in shaping their destiny. India stands ready to play its part in that regard. It is important to underline that the Council's cooperation with regional organizations, particularly the League of Arab States, should also avoid selectivity. Cooperation with one regional organization should not come at the expense of another. The goal of peaceful resolution of conflicts should determine the Council's actions. The international community should guide all United Nations activities, including its cooperation with regional organizations.”

  4. “The Charter also provides a broad framework for the Security Council's cooperation with such regional organizations, while clearly stating that it is the Council itself that has primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. Cooperation between the Arab League and the United Nations began in the early 19505. Both organizations have benefited from the convergence of their desire to maintain international peace and security, despite occasional differences. Enhanced partnerships between United Nations agencies and the Arab League at the institutional level in the fields of human development, capacity building and the empowerment of women and young people have been of great benefit to the region.”

  5. “It is therefore not surprising that the momentous transformation that has taken place in several countries of the region since late 2010 has been of great interest to the world at large. The general aspiration has been that those transformations should be peaceful and should lead to inclusive and democratic outcomes within their countries. The League of Arab States, as the most important regional organization, predating the United Nations, has played a significant role in the unfolding of events in the region and has guided the involvement of the international community in them. Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter recognizes the importance of regional organizations and their role in matters related to the maintenance of international peace and security.”

  6. “Let me begin byjoining others in congratulating you, Mr. President, on presiding over this high-level meeting on peace and security in West Asia and North Africa. I also want to thank the United Nations Secretary-General and the Secretary General of the League of Arab States for their valuable statements. Developments in West Asia and North Africa have played a major role in shaping the history of the world since ancient times. The region has been the birthplace of major religions and great civilizations. By virtue of the genius of its peoples, its strategic location and its natural resources, the region has been a focus of considerable interest internationally.”
