  3. We recall that such practices run contrary to international law, seriously jeopardize the territorial integrity of the State of Palestine and undermine the chances of achieving a two-State solution. We would like to conclude by encouraging the political, religious and social authorities and leaders of both Palestine and Israel to always act with responsibility, prudence and moderation, and to encourage the resumption of a reasonable dialogue that will allow their respective peoples to move towards sustainable peace. We believe that this would be particularly important in the current context of growing instability in the Middle East, which is manifested with particular gravity in the conflicts and humanitarian crises in Syria and Yemen, among other instances of regional tension. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.

  4. In that regard, we welcome the generous support provided through various regional initiatives that support the urgent proposal to provide stable and predictable funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. Peru also considers it urgent that the Israeli and Palestinian sides, with the support of the international community, resume negotiations towards a two-State solution, with secure and mutually recognized borders. We therefore once again express our concern over settlement practices, demolitions and evictions in the occupied Palestinian territories, including legislative initiatives that contravene resolution 2334 (2016).

  5. Peru recognizes the freedom of expression and association of the Palestinian people and underscores that all protests must be peaceful in order to prevent further escalation. Peru also recognizes Israel's right to respond to acts that may pose a threat to its security and underscores that the right to legitimate defence must be exercised in line with the principles of proportionality, precaution and legality. We believe that the violence witnessed over the past few weeks again demonstrates the urgent need to address its root causes, in particular with regard to the gradual deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

  6. 1 shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Peru. Peru welcomes the holding of today's quarterly open debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. We thank Mr. Nickolay Mladenov for his important briefing. Peru is deeply concerned about increasing instability in the region and the escalating violence observed over the past few weeks in the Gaza Strip, which has left many dead and wounded. We deplore the most recent wave of escalating violence and extend our deepest sympathy. In line with the remarks of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, we believe that an independent and transparent investigation is required in order to determine those responsible for the most recent tragedy.

  14. As the progress study on youth and peace and security indicates, the time has come to take a radical turn that recognizes young people as the missing element in peace. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. As I mentioned, we have a long list of speakers, so I would like to ask speakers to limit their statements to four minutes. For the same reason, the meeting will continue through the lunch hour. I now give the floor to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Belgium.

  15. We must also combat the stereotypes that perpetuate discrimination and Violence against women; we must invest in peacebuilding efforts linked to young people and promote positive, nonviolent and equitable masculine identities. We believe that promoting dialogue between Governments and youth-led organizations is important to the effective implementation of resolution 2250 (2015). Peru also considers that the Council should continue to promote this important topic and provide periodic follow-up, particularly in the areas of conflict resolution and sustainable peacebuilding. In that regard, together with Sweden, we will present a draft resolution that we hope will have the support of all Council members.

  16. Among other things, the Sustainable Development Goals oblige us to create decent employment for our young people; guarantee equal opportunities through access to health and education; and promote peaceful societies with inclusive institutions. We are also committed to promoting the human rights of all young people, safeguarding their diversity and fighting discrimination. That means rejecting stereotypes that stigmatize them as persons prone to violence, as well as recognizing and promoting their capacities for participation and leadership in public life. The participation of youth delegates in various United Nations forums and processes is undoubtedly a good practice insofar as it establishes bridges between Governments and youth organizations around agendas that contribute to with the maintenance of international peace and security.

  17. They want to stop being seen as a problem and to be recognized as stakeholders in peace processes. Peru believes firmly that this is the right approach to effectively implementing and promoting this issue on the Council's agenda. It is essential if we are to take advantage of and maximize the potential, commitment and resilience of young people in preventing and coping with conflicts. To that end, it is important to create inclusive and safe spaces that allow young people to participate and contribute to peacebuilding and peace consolidation processes in their national communities. We welcome the efforts that are being made in that regard and encourage their continuation. This issue is clearly linked to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

  18. The current generation of young people is the largest in history. Overall, most of the people affected in the various armed conflicts occurring around the world are young. At the same time, young people can make important contributions in favour of peace and security. Peru would like to emphasize the role that young people are called on to play in conflict prevention and resolution, justice and reconciliation. Young people are crucial to building an inclusive vision of the future and achieving sustainable peace. We therefore welcome the progress study on youth and peace and security (see S/2018/86) provided for in resolution 2250 (2015), sponsored by Jordan. It gathers the voices of thousands of young people from all regions of the world, and their message is clear.
