  1. “Malaysia deeply mourns these tragic deaths and offers its deepest condolences to the bereaved families. How many more deaths and injuries of innocent civilians, women and children, and how much more violence do we need to witness before the Council can act? Let us not repeat the mistakes that were made in the past in the case of the tragedies in Rwanda and Srebrenica because of the paralysis of this Council.”

  2. “For more than 50 years the question of the plight of the Palestinian people has been on the international agenda. The failure of the international community to redress the injustices committed against the Palestinian people will only prolong the instability and violence in the region. The Council must act now to stop the violence and to allow the peoples in region to live in an atmosphere of peace, harmony and progress. Let us not forget that this Council has the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. We must live up to our obligations. The Council's credibility is at stake. To date about 250 people have been killed, including women and children, mostly Palestinians, as a result of the disproportionate and excessive use of force by Israeli security forces.”

  3. “To this end, we call on Israel to give its full cooperation to the establishment of a United Nations observer force, if Israel is really serious in its intention to stop the violence and to restore calm and peace. After all, it would also be for the good of the people of Israel. A just and lasting peace can be achieved only with the complete withdrawal of Israel's armed forces and illegal settlers from all Arab and Palestinian lands occupied since 1967, including the city of Al-Quds Al-Sharif and the occupied Syrian Golan. The people of Palestine have the inalienable right to establish an independent and sovereign State of their own, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its undisputed capital. To this end, Malaysia calls on Israel to comply with Security Council resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973) and 1322 (2000), and all other relevant resolutions.”

  4. “I could not agree more with Ambassador Holbrooke that we need the consent of the host country when we deploy United Nations peace operations. He cited Indonesia in the case of East Timor and the visit of a mission to West Timor. But I wish only to tell Ambassador Holbrooke that the difference is that in the case of Palestine Israel is clearly the occupying Power - the only occupying Power in this modern era. Palestine is an occupied territory; that is a fact. Of course, for practical reasons, we would need the cooperation of the Israeli Government to ensure the effective performance of a United Nations observer force on the ground.”

  5. “This Council must carry out its solemn duty and act to protect civilians. We have repeatedly stated this fact in our previous resolutions and statements on the question of Palestine and the protection of civilians in armed conflict, and we must play our part to the fullest. Last Friday we mandated the Secretary-General to explore the proposal to deploy a United Nations observer force to the region. But the Council cannot rest on its laurels; it must also give its full support to the establishment of the observer force. We must encourage and convince the parties concerned - those Council members that have great influence and leverage with the parties to the conflict could play a particular role in this regard - to accept such a United Nations presence on the ground.”

  6. “The unleashing of the disproportionate response by the Israeli security forces on Gaza City and on the Palestinian people clearly signals the intent of the Israeli Government to wage a kind of war against Palestinian civilians. Malaysia will continue to work with the other members of this Council to take immediate, concrete measures, including the immediate establishment of a United Nations observer force to ensure the safety and lives of innocent Palestinian civilians. We believe that a United Nations presence on the ground would be the best, speediest and most effective mechanism to help de-escalate the violence in the occupied Palestinian territory. Clearly, the present efforts to stop the violence, including those on the bilateral track, have not produced effective results so far.”

  7. “1, like other speakers before me, thank you most sincerely, Mr. President, for convening this meeting, and particularly for responding at very short notice to a request by a State Member of the United Nations for a meeting of the Council on the grave situation in Palestine. This augurs well for the credibility of the Council in the eyes of the larger membership of the United Nations. We look forward to the statement which the representative of South Africa will make later on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. The grave situation in occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory must be addressed immediately by the international community, especially this Council. The spiral of violence that was triggered a few days ago must be stopped once and for all.”

  8. “While this is particularly welcome, we wish to reiterate that the agreement links the termination of the United Nations peacekeeping mission to the completion of the process of delimitation and demarcation of the common border. It is imperative, therefore, that the parties continue negotiations, under the auspices of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), and conclude, without delay, a comprehensive and final settlement to the conflict.”

  9. “We believe that UNMEE will play a major role on the ground in helping to build confidence in support of the peace process. In this regard, we hope that all preparations are in their final stages before the imminent arrival of thousands of troops in the operations area. We trust that the parties will give the Mission their full cooperation to ensure UNMEE's access, safety and freedom of movement, as called for in resolution 1320 (2000). It will be equally important for the parties to ensure the safe and unhindered access of humanitarian personnel to the population in need, given the serious humanitarian situation. Before concluding, my delegation wishes to express its satisfaction with the fact that the ceasefire is holding. This demonstrates the parties' resolve to abide by the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities.”

  10. “The Council's continued engagement with the subject is critical as the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) begins its final phase of deployment. In this regard, we welcome the recent appointment of Ambassador Legwaila Joseph Legwaila as the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Ethiopia and Eritrea, as well as that of Major General Patrick C. Cammaert, who is from your country, Mr. President, as the Force Commander of UNMEE. We believe that these appointments will further enhance the efforts of UNMEE to fulfil its mandated tasks, including that of verifying the cessation of hostilities. Security Council resolution 1320 (2000), of 15 September 2000, authorized the deployment of up to 4,200 troops, including up to 220 military observers, until 15 March 2001.”

  11. “My delegation, too, wishes to thank you, Mr. President, and the Secretary- General for the upbeat briefing and update on the situation between Eritrea and Ethiopia. We would also like to congratulate you and your delegation most sincerely for your personal engagement, as well as for that of your Government, and for your positive contribution to peace efforts in Africa, particularly as concerns the situation between Ethiopia and Eritrea. I am confident that your laudable efforts will encourage other western Governments to do the same for Africa, particularly with respect to those conflicts that are raging in that continent. We agree with you that Africa matters as a continent of concern and a land of promise, and, I would like to add, a land of prosperity.”

  12. “At this juncture, we should like to say that we share the serious concern about the illegal referendum that was organized by the Croat nationalist party, the Croatian Democratic Union. That referendum is clearly illegal and represents a serious threat to the integrity of the Peace Agreement. It should therefore be rejected by the international community.”

  13. “We look forward to the final and official outcome of the elections, which we believe will have a very significant impact on the peace implementation process in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We are hopeful that whoever is eventually elected by the Bosnian people in these elections will be committed to pursuing the peace process. We call upon the elected leaders to work together among themselves and with the international community to strengthen the political, economic and social foundations for national reintegration and reconciliation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is the paramount and pivotal responsibility that is expected of those leaders, under the clear provisions of the Peace Agreement, and by the international community, which is working hard to bring about its full implementation.”

  14. “My delegation is grateful for the useful briefing by Under-Secretary- General Guehenno on the partial results of the national elections that were held in Bosnia and Herzegovina last Saturday. We have certainly followed the 11 November elections very closely and with deep interest. We commend the Bosnian people and the international community, in particular the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), for the successful conduct of the elections. That the elections were held in a relatively free and fair manner, with the exception of some irregularities mentioned by Under-Secretary- General Guehenno, is a strong tribute to the international community and the Bosnians themselves.”
