  1. “It is a solid multilateral framework, which was legally adopted by resolution 2231 (2015) and plays a key role in stabilizing the Middle East and in implementing the non-proliferation regime. Brazil has long believed that the establishment of a zone free of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East would contribute to peace in the region. We are adding to that traditional position a new legal instrument for promoting a nuclear-free world - the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which Brazil was the first country to sign. We encourage all countries to accede to the Treaty, and we warmly congratulate the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, our partner in the process, on its having been awarded the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize.”

  2. “It is essential that those letters provide sufficient information concerning attacks in which legitimate self-defence is invoked, which will allow for proportionality and need for the use of force to be assessed. To enhance transparency, Brazil suggests that all such communications be listed on the Security Council's website. We note with interest the ongoing discussions on measures to promote reconstruction and economic recovery in Syria. It is important to create conditions that allow for the dignified voluntary return of refugees and internally displaced persons. Finally, I would like to say a word about Iran. Brazil joins with many other countries that support the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear programme.”

  3. “Turning now to the conflict in Syria, we welcome the finalization of parameters for the implementation of four de-escalation zones that emerged from the Astana process. We must now ensure that efforts under way to address the security dimension of the crisis lead to tangible progress towards a political solution based on resolution 2254 (2015). We welcome the ongoing liberation of areas previously occupied by Da'esh in eastern Syria, but underscore the imperative to respect international humanitarian law in such offensives. In addition,withregardto the fightagainstterrorism, we note an increase in the number of letters submitted to the Security Council to justify the use of military action for counter-terrorism purposes under Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations.”

  4. “It is vital to provide funding for contingency plans drawn up by multilateral agencies for use in the field; improve the social and economic conditions of host communities; promote refugee resettlement initiatives; and ensure their right to return. Our country has done its part by hosting thousands of refugees affected by the conflict in Syria. Our new migration law will establish a humanitarian visa for travel to Brazil, which will be granted to stateless persons and nationals ofcountries plagued by instability, armed conflict, disasters or serious violations of human rights law or international humanitarian law. We encourage other countries to take steps to host refugees from conflicts in the Middle East and reduce current pressure on nearby developing countries, such as Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey.”

  5. “The international community must fully appreciate UNIFIL's contribution to the stability of Lebanon. The Force's Maritime Task Force has played a valuable role in preventing arms trafficking to non-State actors in Lebanon and in training the Lebanese Naval Forces. It must continue to have the means necessary to carry out its tasks. We hope that the Council will continue to give its full support to UNIFIL and take into consideration the views of the Government of Lebanon and the troop-contributing countries in its next mandate renewal. Brazil is also concerned about the plight of Syrian and Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. While acknowledging the hospitality, generosity and spirit of tolerance that permeates Lebanese democracy, we underscore the need to strengthen international cooperation in order to assist those people.”

  6. “It is imperative to avoid other unilateral actions that could impede the peace process. Brazil reiterates its full commitment to the two- State solution, with Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security, within internationally recognized and mutually agreed boundaries and on the basis of the pre-1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine. We recall the fundamental responsibility of the Council to support the resumption of direct negotiations between the parties. Brazil welcomes the Security Council's decision to extend the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). We acknowledge the constructive engagement of France and Italy in negotiations to ensure the continuity of the essential elements of the Force's mandate.”

  7. “Mr. Mauro Vieira (Brazil) (spoke in French): I thank France for convening today's meeting. I will deliver an abridged version of my statement. The full text of the statement will be available for circulation. We welcome new developments towards the political reunification of the State of Palestine, in particular the agreement signed in Cairo on 12 October and steps taken to extend the authority of the Government of National Consensus to the Gaza Strip. We encourage Palestinian political groups to continue their dialogue. However, we remain concerned about the continued expansion of illegal settlements in the occupied territories and about discussions on the amendment of the Basic Law: Jerusalem, Capital of Israel, adopted by Israel in 1980 and negated by resolution 478 (1980).”
