  2. “Major improvements to the United Nations machinery, including this Council, are well overdue in these respects. They are matters that all members of this Council have a responsibility to address. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I now give the floor to His Excellency Mr. Ignacio Ybafiez, Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs of Spain.”

  3. “We continue to provide significant technical support in aviation security efforts, in particular to improve regional air security in the Pacific. However, enhanced aviation security can only ever provide a short-term bandage. The far greater challenge lies in addressing the conditions that motivate and enable those who commit these acts of terrorism. In this respect, we need to reflect on the effectiveness of this organ, which is charged with maintaining international peace and security. The Security Council's track record ofdelivering sustainable resolution of major conflicts is poor, and the resources of the United Nations are heavily focused on providing peacekeeping and humanitarian support for victims of conflict rather than preventing conflict in the first place, or resolving conflicts before they become intractable.”

  4. “ICAO remains the primary forum for improving international aviation security standards and deserves the support of the international community and of the Council. New Zealand supports an approach to aviation security that is risk-based and tailored to different circumstances. This is particularly important for States with limited capacities and lower risk profiles, including the many small island developing States of our region. It does not make sense to expect the same systems and approach from Tuvalu as we have from the United States. But agreeing to standards is only the first step. The more challenging and important task is ensuring that these are effectively implemented. New Zealand therefore welcomes the focus in today's resolution on international cooperation, including technical assistance.”

  5. “The Council has already taken action to address the travel of foreign terrorist fighters, including by restricting their access to planes as a means of transport. But recent attacks demonstrate that civil aviation remains an attractive target for terrorists, and advances in technology have made terrorist threats to aviation harder to detect. The international community must remain vigilant in ensuring that international standards are responsive to a constantly-evolving threat environment. As countries gather for the triennial session of the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Assembly later this month, we encourage them to reflect on the collective views of this Council in their deliberations.”

  6. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Minister for Foreign Affairs ofNew Zealand. New Zealand welcomes today's opportunity to discuss the serious threat to international peace and security posed by terrorist targeting of civil aviation. I thank the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom, Mr. Boris Johnson, for his leadership on resolution 2309 (2016), which was just adopted by the Council. Air links are critical to New Zealand. More than 99 per cent of our international visitors arrive by air, and around 15 per cent of our exports are transported by air. The security of international civil aviation is therefore of vital importance to my country. As we commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks in New York, we need no reminding that terrorist threats to civil aviation are not a new phenomenon.”

Their presence today underscores the importance of the subject matter under discussion.

  13. “It was seriously disapponting that the recent report (S/2016/595, annex) of the Quartet was subject to such significant delays and that, when it arrived, its recommendations were not adopted as a basis for further Council engagement. That would have been a modest step forward, and the Council could not even agree on that. New Zealand intends to revisit these matters over the coming weeks as we try to find a way of ensuring that the Council becomes re-engaged in a matter that cries out for its attention. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to the other members of the Council.”

  14. “It is time for us to ask more of each of the parties, to require that they face up to their responsibilities, and to ask more of this organ, which is charged with maintaining international peace and security. While we welcome other efforts to bring about an improvement in this negative cycle, New Zealand believes that the Quartet remains the body best placed to harness the efforts of other parties and to report to and give advice to the Council. In that respect, we note with concern yesterday's reports that Israel's Defence Minister has placed a boycott on Special Coordinator Mladenov, That action, reportedly taken in response to the Special Coordinatior doing the job we have all asked him to do, is deeply counterproductive.”

  15. “The result of those developments is that the two- State solution - the vision and goal of the Security Council for nearly 50 years - is close to becoming a shattered dream. For those in Israel who think that that does not matter, who think that time is their friend, I urge them to think again. If the prospect ofa two-State solution is shattered by the negative trajectory of events, international attention will shift to the two standards of citizenship that exist in the single State that remains. No friend of Israel wishes to see such an outcome. Therefore, today I say to colleagues on the Security Council, time is running out. It has been eight long years since the Council adopted a draft resolution on this issue. History and the international community will not judge us well.”

  16. “So far this year, plans for 2,623 settlement units have been advanced, including the retrospective legalization of 756 units. No amount of spin can hide the fact that those actions are a violation of Israel's international obligations and that they have profoundly negative implications for the peace process. The Palestinian side, too, has fallen short of the expectations we should all have. Violence against Israeli citizens continues to be condoned. The first local elections in a decade - a chance to mend faces and renew mandates - seem to have been postponed. Reconciliation has been placed on the back burner. And rockets from Gaza continue to target Israeli towns and cities.”

  17. “We try hard to bring a fair and balanced perspective to this conplex and difficult topic. Today we say to both parties that they are falling seriously short of the expectations of the international community and that it is time for them to step back and think again about what they need to do to keep the prospect for a negotiated two-State solution alive. And it is time that the Security Council and the international community told them so and resolve to take practical steps to help them on their way. Recent developments with respect to Israeli settlements are of particular concern. The announcement, on 31 August, of approvals for a further 463 housing units on the West Bank, including 284 new units, is at odds with Israel's stated commitment to talk with the Palestinians and reach an agreement.”

  18. “The international community does what it can to support the parties in resuming negotiations, and yet despite the best efforts of a range of players we are no closer to a solution. We all proclaim our firm commitment to the two-State solution as the only viable option, and yet the Council remains a spectator as the two-State solution erodes. There have been some positive developments, such as this week's agreement between Israel and the pauth to resolve the Palestinians' debt to the Israel Electricity Corporation, but the picture painted by the Secretary- General in his briefing should alarm us all. New Zealand regards itself as a friend of both Israelis and Palestinians. We are not a part of that troubled region. We have no baggage or vested interests.”

  19. “I thank the Secretary-General for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs of New Zealand. It is deeply disappointing to have to acknowledge that the comments I am about to make and that others will make today could have been made with equal force and relevance at any time in the two and a half years since negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians were suspended. We all express dismay and outrage about the violence affecting ordinary Israelis and Palestinians, and yet innocent lives continue to be lost. We all condemn settlements, and yet they continue to expand. We repeatedly encourage both sides to compromise and find a road to peace, and yet angry rhetoric and incitement prevail.”
