  3. “I wish to remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously. Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate the texts in writing and to deliver a condensed version when speaking in the Chamber. I would like to appeal to speakers to deliver their statements at a normal speed so that interpretation may be provided properly. I also wish to inform all concerned that we will be carrying on this open debate right through the lunch hour, as we have a large number of speakers. I now give the floor to the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic.”

  4. “New Zealand has stated clearly that it sees a window of opportunity in the latter part of this year, when the Council should create a return pathway to the negotiating table and support the parties once they are there. That time is now close at hand. Therefore, in this month's Middle East debate, the Council can reflect on a truly significant milestone on the Iran nuclear issue 4 the result of patient diplomacy and a commitment by all parties to reaching a political solution to settle differences. Those very same qualities urgently need to be applied to the other pressing challenges in the region. My country, New Zealand, believes that the Council has a responsibility to settle for nothing less. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

  5. “In Libya, the recent initialling ofthe Libyan political agreement by the Tobruk-based Libyan Government and a significant number of Libyan factions represents an important first step in what we hope will be a long journey towards a lasting Libyan peace. We now urge all members of the Tripoli-based General National Congress to stand on the right side of history: to fully commit to the Libyan political process and initial the agreement. There must also be consequences for those who decline to do so. New Zealand has expressed its views on the Middle East peace process in this Chamber since January. The status quo is unsustainable and doing nothing is not viable. To that end, the Middle East Quartet's re-engagement in capitals on that issue in recent weeks is encouraging. The Security Council must also reengage.”

  6. “The failure of the United Nations-convened talks in Geneva to reach agreement, followed by the failure represented by the recent humanitarian hiatus, have had immediate impacts. They risk undermining the Council's confidence in the commitment of the parties to reach a political solution. Again, we look forward to hearing from United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen Ahmed about prospects for progress. Above all, we need to find a way to stop the fighting in order to address the massive humanitarian needs. We are mindfulthat Iraqis facing ongoing challenges on a number of fronts. We support the Secretary- General's request for a strategic assessment of how the United Nations can extend support to Iraq. We believe the Government's focus on further strengthening national reconciliation efforts is essential.”

  7. “But the burden of those expectations must not sit with those nations alone. The Council must face up to its responsibilities; it must show some political courage of its own. We all know that the situation in Syria has remained deadlocked for too long. The region cannot afford for the conflict to continue - nor can the Council, for its credibility is at stake. The human cost of the conflict is unacceptable and unsustainable. We welcome the Special Envoy for Syria's efforts and look forward to hearing more from him next week. But New Zealand believes that the Secretary-General's good offices alone cannot broker a political solution in Syria. Key players in the region and those on the Council need to recognize their responsibilities to do so. In Yemen, the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate alarmingly.”

  8. “While much work remains to implement the agreement, and even more to build sustained trust between Iran and the international community, reaching an agreement at all represents a huge achievement. Great credit is due to those most directly involved. The parties' willingness to commit to political solutions and exercise political courage in the face of significant challenges lies at the heart of that diplomatic achievement. The question now is whether the same political courage and commitment can be brought to bear on finding political solutions to the other issues afflicting the region. Can stakeholders cooperate to end the conflicts in Syria, Iraq or Yemen, or to create a pathway towards a two-State solution for Israel and Palestine? I believe the answers must be, "Yes".”

  9. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Minister for Foreign Affairs of New Zealand. Right across the Middle East, grave issues continue to demand the Council's attention. The humanitarian situation in Yemen continues to deteriorate. The civil war in Syria rages on. In Iraq, sectarian divides provide space for groups like the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant to prosper. A basis for lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians remains elusive. Against that difficult background, this week is also an apt moment to reflect on positive developments in the region. The Security Council's adoption of resolution 2231 (2015), on Monday, following years of negotiation among the permanent, the European Union and Germany and Iran, represents a major victory for diplomacy.”
