  1. “We therefore once again urge the Security Council to take clear and decisive action to condemn and to stop the extrajudicial executions carried out by Israel against the Palestinians, which have proved to be detrimental to efforts to achieve a peaceful solution in the Middle East.”

  2. “Malaysia is committed to a peaceful settlement of the Palestinian- Israeli conflict and supports a two-State solution based on the 1967 line. We believe that peace in the Middle East can be achieved only through the realization of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and national independence and the exercise of sovereignty in the State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital. We believe that the Security Council has a responsibility to put a stop to Israel's heinous policies and practices, which dehumanize the Palestinian people and stand in the way of peace. The Council surely cannot simply stand helpless while Israel's unlawful occupation, domination and - now - assassinations of the Palestinian people continue unabated.”

  3. “The Movement also condemned the wanton destruction of homes, infrastructure and agricultural lands, the detention and imprisonment of thousands of Palestinians and the imposition of collective punishment on the entire Palestinian population, including severe restrictions on the movement of persons and goods and prolonged curfews, resulting in socio-economic hardship for the Palestinian people, amounting to a dire humanitarian crisis. Malaysia calls upon the international community, and the Security Council in particular, to urge Israel to stop carrying out air strikes against the Palestinian people, and seek a just, comprehensive and durable solution to the Palestinian question, including the implementation of the road map.”

  4. “As the country holding the current chairmanship of the Non-Aligned Movement, Malaysia would like to draw the attention of the Council to the fact that the heads of State or Government of the Non-Aligned Movement, at their Summit meeting at Kuala Lumpur in February last year, expressed their deep concern about the tragic situation prevailing in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. The leaders of the countries members of the Non-Aligned Movement strongly condemned the systematic human rights violations and reported war crimes that have been committed by the Israeli occupying forces against the Palestinian people. They condemned, in particular, the wilful killing by Israel of Palestinian civilians, including extrajudicial executions.”

  5. “Malaysia strongly condemns that assassination and other blatant assassinations perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian people. The assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was a despicable, provocative action and will only serve to worsen the situation and invite a greater cycle of violence. The international community and the Security Council must not stand idle in the face of that extrajudicial killing. The Council must take concrete action to prevent Israel from committing further criminal acts against the Palestinian people and to uphold respect for international law.”

  6. “Let me first thank you, Mr. President, for convening this open meeting to allow the larger membership of the United Nations to participate in this debate. This meeting is particularly important, as Israel's assassination of the Palestinian spiritual leader of the Hamas group, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, has outraged the international community and dampened the prospects for peace in the Middle East. The extrajudicial killing of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin has sparked widespread international condemnation. The Secretary-General himself has strongly condemned the assassination. He shares the international community's sentiment that such an action could lead to further bloodshed and violence and to acts of revenge and retaliation. Reiterating that extrajudicial killings were against international law, he has urged Israel to immediately end that practice.”

  7. “We believe it is crucial for the friends of Timor- Leste in the region in particular, and for the international community to offer their full support to Timor-Leste. We warmly welcome the cordial and constructive contacts and the friendly bilateral engagements between Timor-Leste and its most immediate and important neighbour, Indonesia. We believe that that augurs well for Timor-Leste in its desire to play a useful role in the region and for the aspirations of the countries in the region to peace and stability.”

  8. “The size of the force should be appropriate to and commensurate with the actual threat. We wish to emphasize that an oversized force might not bode well for the confidence-building measures that are being nurtured, and which are highly essential for peace and security in the region. Maintaining it would also entail unnecessarily high costs. As a country of the region, Malaysia will continue within its capacity and capability to extend support and assistance to Timor-Leste in its nation- building process. As we have assured Timor-Leste, we are prepared to share our past experiences in nation- building, as Malaysia shares many similarities with that country. We will continue to provide technical assistance in various fields, as discussed and agreed between our two Governments, to assist Timor-Leste in its national development.”

  9. “We believe that, given the relatively short period since Timor-Leste gained its independence, it would be too ambitious to expect that the various institutions that were established with the assistance of the United Nations and bilateral assistance could now become fully operational and ready to ensure the full enjoyment of security and stability in this very young nation. Timor-Leste must be given the necessary support and adequate time to ensure that the peace and stability and the progress that have been built will not be wasted. In supporting the recommendations of the Secretary-General as contained in his report, we wish to underline that, when determining the size of a peacekeeping force, it is also necessary to give careful consideration to the actual threat anticipated in the country.”

  10. “The Secretary-General has highlighted many more instances in many areas that point to the need for the extension of UNMISET's mandate beyond 20 May 2004. He has stressed that further assistance will be essential to consolidate and build upon the gains that have been made in an atmosphere of peace and stability. The Secretary-General concluded his report by recommending to the Council the extension of UNMISET's mandate for a further year, in a reduced size and with a modified mandate. Malaysia supports the recommendation of the Secretary-General to extend UNMISET's mandate for a further year, in a reduced size and with a modified mandate, as contained in his report to the Council.”

  11. “Similarly, in the area of security, the National Police of Timor-Leste, which is the central, core institution of the country's security and stability, has yet to be able effectively to fulfil its responsibilities. While significant progress has been made in the development of the national police force, it was noted with concern that its capacity, experience and policy framework remain limited. It was also noted that the Timor-Leste defence force will not be able to create before 20 May 2004 an effective rapid deployment capability to deal with armed groups in the border districts. That is attributed mainly, among other things, to delays in the recruitment, equipping and training processes.”

  12. “The progress achieved in many fields under UNMISET's three programme areas is still too fragile to be left on its own without the continuing presence of UNMISET beyond 20 May 2004. In the crucial area of public administration, for example, it was highlighted in the report that the administration continues to lack managerial skill and has not yet acquired the skills to discharge a number of essential tasks, including in the important area of finance. It was also pointed out that the administration's legislative and regulatory framework too is at a very early stage of development. Attention was also drawn to the justice system in Timor-Leste, which remains particularly weak, with serious negative implications for the proper functioning of the justice, police and prison services.”

  13. “While we applaud that progress, at the same time we must share and acknowledge the observations and concerns expressed by the Secretary-General: despite the achievements, the situation in many areas nonetheless remains fragile. We should therefore by no all means feel complacent about what has been achieved thus far. The reality is that, at this stage, Timor-Leste still needs the continuing support of the United Nations and other external assistance. It is clear from the Secretary-General's report to the Council that Timor-Leste will not be ready for self- sufficiency within the period of two years of the mandate of the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET).”

  14. “Let me first express our appreciation to the Secretary-General for his report (S/2004/117) and to Mr. Jean-Marie Guehenno for his presentation on the situation in Timor-Leste this morning. We also join others in welcoming Foreign Minister Ramos-Horta in our midst today. We are pleased to note that the overall situation in Timor-Leste continues to register encouraging progress. We believe that the remarkable progress recorded in Timor-Leste in the face of the numerous constraints confronting the newly independent nation could not have been achieved without the commitment, determination and strong resolve of the country's leadership and the support of the Timorese in general.”
