“The Movement of Non-Aligned Countries reaffirms that all measures and actions taken by Israel, the occupying Power, such as its illegal decision of 14 December 1981, which purports to alter the legal, geographical and demographic status of the occupied Syrian Golan and its institutional structure, in addition to Israel's measures to apply its jurisdiction and administration there, are null and void and have no legal effect. In that regard, in line with our principled position, we demand once again that Israel abide by resolution 497 (1981) and withdraw fully from the occupied Syrian Golan to the lines of 4 June 1967, in accordance with resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973).”

“In that regard, the member States of the Movement reiterate their calls for the intensification of international efforts aimed at achieving, without further delay, an end to the Israeli occupation that began in 1967 and ajust, lasting, comprehensive and peaceful solution, while reiterating the Movement's readiness to cooperate and support all relevant efforts in line with the decisions taken during the seventeenth Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement on Margarita Island.”

“Moreover, the Non-Aligned Movement welcomes recent steps being taken towards Palestinian reconciliation, including the signing of the unity agreement between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas on 12 October, and expresses its full and resolute support for efforts aimed at ensuring Palestinian unity and the effective functioning of a Palestinian national consensus government in Gaza. Next month will mark another sombre anniversary for the question of Palestine: the seventieth anniversary of the General Assembly's decision to split Mandated Palestine via its adoption of resolution 181 (II), of 29 November 1947.”

“In that regard, the Movement reiterates its call for the complete lifting of the more than lO-year-long Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip, while also stressing that the crisis in Gaza must be comprehensively addressed in accordance with international law, including humanitarian law and human rights law, and in accordance with the relevant United Nations resolutions in the context of the overall situation of the continuation of the illegitimate, belligerent Israeli foreign occupation of Palestinian territory since 1967, including East Jerusalem, and of the unequivocal calls for an end to a half-century of occupation.”

“Those practices must stop in order, among other things, to ensure Palestinian freedom of access and worship, as well as to ensure full respect for the sanctity of all the holy sites and to avert any further destabilization. The situation in Gaza continues to elicit great concern for the Movement, in particular the grave humanitarian situation.”

“That resolution also calls on Israel to immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and to fully respect all of its legal obligations, including under the Fourth Geneva Convention. We must also once again warn of the high risk for further deterioration and destabilization, as witnessed recently in occupied East Jerusalem due to provocative and illegal Israeli actions in the Old City and at Haram Al-Sharif, which houses the Al-Aqsa Mosque, including attempts to undermine the historic status quo at the holy site, which dramatically raised tensions and inflamed religious sensitivities.”

“In that regard, member States of the Movement strongly condemn the recent provocative decisions of Israel, the occupying Power, to proceed with its settlement activities in grave breach of international law and of the relevant United Nations resolutions, including resolution 2334 (2016). Moreover, we are alarmed by and deeply deplore the flagrant contempt of Israel, the occupying Power, for the unequivocal decision by the Security Council in that regard, which clearly reaffirmed that Israel's settlement activities have no legal validity and that they constitute a flagrant violation of international law.”

“In particular, the Movement is concerned about the ongoing, escalating policies and measures by Israel, the occupying Power, aimed at expanding its illegal settlements campaign and to continue to consolidate its half-century of invasion and occupation of Palestinian land and its violation of the rights of the Palestinian people. Rather than ceasing its violations, reversing the negative trends on the ground and demonstrating its commitment to the two-State solution on the basis of the pre-1967 lines, as demanded by the Security Council and the international community as a whole, Israel continues to act with contempt for the Council and in breach of its legal obligations.”

“In addition, the Movement continues to call for the resolution to be fully respected and implemented, while stressing that it remains central to redressing the situation on the ground, de-escalating tensions and fostering an appropriate environment for the pursuit of peace. In that regard, we reiterate the need for a substantive written report to be presented regarding the implementation of the resolution, in order to support the Council's duties and ensure proper documentation of the implementation of the resolution's provisions, especially in the light of Israel's continued disregard of the Security Council and its violation of its legally binding resolutions. The Non-Aligned Movement expresses its grave concern regarding recent developments in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.”

“In that regard, the Movement stands ready to contribute to the achievement ofajust, lasting and peaceful solution, and we call for the intensification of international and regional efforts in support of that goal, while recalling the responsibilities of the Security Council and of the General Assembly in that regard, as was most recently reaffirmed in resolution 2334 (2016), which was wholeheartedly welcomed and supported by the Movement. We believe that the resolution provides the most viable path, setting forth the requirements and parameters for a just solution that would safeguard the two-State solution along the 1967 lines and create the necessary conditions to end the occupation, justly resolve the conflict in all its aspects and make Palestinian-Israeli peace and security a reality.”

“The principled positions of the Movement in relation to the question of Palestine were clearly reaffirmed almost a month ago, on 19 September, when the Ministerial Committee of the Non-Aligned Movement on Palestine issued a political declaration of support and solidarity with the Palestinian people, which was later endorsed by consensus by the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the Movement. Moreover, the member States of the Movement reaffirm that the ongoing Israeli occupation and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as a whole continue to pose a serious threat to international peace and security, which requires urgent attention and a solution, in accordance with international law, the relevant United Nations resolutions and, of course, the Charter of the United Nations itself.”

“The Movement also stresses the need for a structural and predictable approach to the triangular consultations among the Security Council, the troop- and police-contributing countries and the Secretariat, with a view to leveraging the potential of peacekeeping mandates and operations for sustaining peace. To conclude, the Non-Aligned Movement looks forward to the Secretary-General's report on sustaining peace with specific recommendations on, inter alia, how peacekeeping operations can better serve the comprehensive approach of sustaining peace, including during transitions.”

“In that connection, the States members of the Movement reiterate the importance they attach to the deliberations and report of the annual substantive session of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations, which is the only United Nations forum mandated to comprehensively review the whole question ofpeacekeeping operations in all their aspects, and refer to the observations and recommendations reached through consensus in this year's report on the potential contribution of peacekeeping operations to peacebuilding and sustaining peace. In that regard, we recognize the need for further awareness-raising of personnel deployed in peacekeeping missions about the evolving policy discussions and approaches regarding the field.”

“We also emphasize the need to include and involve all sectors of society in peace processes, including women and youth, who can play an important role in the prevention and resolution of conflicts, as well as in peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts and in building peaceful and resilient societies. The Non-Aligned Movement has taken note of the Secretary-General's peace and security architecture reform initiative, which has a particular focus on enhancing the meaningful interface between United Nations political efforts and peacekeeping operations on the ground. The need to change compartmentalized thinking within the Organization must not be minimized, including in order for peacekeeping mandates and operations to be well calibrated with the broader political and development objectives necessary for sustaining peace.”

“Moreover, while recognizing that there are various tools available to the international community and the United Nations for ensuring the maintenance of international peace and security, including preventive diplomacy, the Non-Aligned Movement stresses the importance of using such tools in good faith, and not as a tool for interfering in the internal affairs of Member States, in strict compliance with the principles of international law concerning friendly relations and cooperation among States, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.”

“Preserving, promoting, achieving and maintaining international peace and security should remain key priorities of the United Nations agenda, which is why the international community must spare no effort in the fields of conflict prevention and sustaining peace. Therefore, preventing the outbreak, continuation or recurrence ofconflict is a collective responsibility. Most important of all, however, it is a national responsibility that could at times benefit from the objective, impartial and supportive assistance that the United Nations is able to provide, upon request and in partnership with regional and subregional organizations and other relevant actors, as appropriate.”

“On that occasion, the Heads ofState and Government also reaffirmed the Movement's principled position on peacekeeping operations, which must be carried out with strict adherence to the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter ofthe United Nations. They also emphasized that respect for the principles ofsovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of States, as well as non-intervention in internal affairs, are key elements of joint efforts in the promotion of international peace and security. In that regard, they reiterated that respect for the basic principles of peacekeeping - namely, the consent of the parties, impartiality and non-use of force except in self-defence - is essential to the success of peacekeeping operations.”

“In that context, they stressed the need to improve synergies between peacekeeping and peacebuilding activities so as to attain the overall objective of sustainable peace. Our position is of great relevance, taking into account that, in most cases, the structural causes of conflicts include, among others, poverty, hunger, inequalities - including those related to gender - violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms, injustice, lack of jobs and access to education, poor accountability and mismanagement of natural resources, all of which are core elements of a comprehensive approach specifically to achieving sustainable peace.”

“At the seventeenth Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, held in September 2016 on Margarita island, Venezuela, the Heads of State and Government stressed that United Nations peacekeeping operations must not be used as a substitute for addressing the root causes of conflict, which should be addressed in a coherent, well-planned, coordinated and comprehensive manner, together with other political, social, economic and developmental instruments. They further stressed that due consideration should be given by the United Nations to the manner in which those efforts can be carried out from the early stage of United Nations engagement in post-conflict situations and continue without interruption after the departure of peacekeeping operations, so as to ensure a smooth transition to lasting peace and security and sustainable development.”

“In that regard, we stress that, in the context of a comprehensive approach and the objective of a lasting peace and security, the implementation of all tasks mandated to peacekeeping operations should be supported and accompanied by aparallel, comprehensive and inclusive peace process that is well planned and carefully designed and based on national ownership and the support of the international community, as well as the consent and compliance ofthe parties concerned. In that respect, I would refer to resolution 2086 (2013), which was welcomed by the Movement, with its particular focus on multidimensional peacekeeping as an important contribution to pursuing a comprehensive, coherent and integrated approach to multidimensional peacekeeping and post-conflict peacebuilding.”
