  1. Accordingly, I would like to echo the words of the Secretary-General delivered at Tel Aviv University on 27 June. He said that "responsibility is more than taking ownership for one's actions - it is about seeing your actions through the prism of other's concerns - and seeking to understand their needs as your own. This wisdom teaches us that we cannot be a world of 'us and them'. We must be a world of 'we the peoples' as the Charter of the United Nations describes". All of us have a responsibility to build that future in harmony.

  2. On the issue of Israel and Palestine, Guatemala strongly condemns the murder of the 13-year-old girl stabbed to death in her home in the settlement of Kiryat Arba and the murder of a 48-year-old rabbi, shot by a Palestinian commando. These are deplorable events that should not recur. At the same time, Guatemala shares the Secretary-General's concern at the decision by the Israeli authorities to move forward with its plans to build in the West Bank settlement of Ma'ale Adumim and in East Jerusalem. This affects the faith of the parties in negotiations and the vision of two States living side by side in peace and generating stability in the region. The international community should not lose hope that an agreement between Israel and Palestine could be negotiated. For that to happen, however, the necessary political will is required.

  3. In that regard, we share the concern expressed by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs with respect to the unfolding situation in Aleppo, in particular that of the approximately 300,000 people trapped in the eastern part of the city, as a result of heavy fighting along the Castello road, the only road in or out of that part of the city. Heavy fighting in recent days has continuously exposed civilians to the risk of death and injury and prevented humanitarian access to people in need of assistance. Air strikes, shelling and heavy fighting have caused many deaths and wounded as well as damage to schools, hospitals and other civilian infrastructure. It has also hampered relief operations. All of the foregoing is in clear violation of human rights, international law and international humanitarian law.

  4. With respect to the situation in the Syrian Arab Republic, we welcome all efforts to achieve the keenly awaited peace in the country, in particular the efforts of the International Syria Support Group to hold meaningful negotiations with a view to finding a political solution to the conflict. Since March 2011, more than a quarter ofa million Syrians have died, more than 1 million have been injured, and 4.8 million have been forced to leave the country, while 6.5 million have been internally displaced, making the Syrian situation the largest displacement crisis in the world.

  5. Guatemala expresses the deepest solidarity with the people and the Government of Iraq for these reprehensible attacks in which men, women and children were killed. Furthermore, we are concerned at the remark made by Mr. Jan Kubis, Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Iraq, that attacks on shrines have the objective of igniting sectarian tensions in the country. This could have devastating effects, with a return to the dark days of sectarian conflict in Iraq. Guatemala rejects and strongly condemns the attack that occurred on 28 June at the Atatiirk Airport, in Istanbul, in which numerous deaths and wounded were reported. We express the deepest solidarity with the people and the Government of Turkey for such a reprehensible attack aimed at civilians.

  6. Mr. Morales Moscoso (Guatemala) (spoke in Spanish): My delegation thanks the Secretary-General ofthe United Nations, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, for his detailed briefing and the delegation of Japan for coordinating today's open debate in the framework of its presidency of the Security Council. Guatemala aligns itself with the statement to be made on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. We view with great concern the recent acts of violence and terrorism that have occurred in the past few weeks in the Middle East, including in Israel and Palestine, which is why we consider today's open debate as timely. We wish to take this opportunity to reject and vigorously condemn the attack on the shopping and amusement mall in Baghdad, reiterating our firm repudiation of all forms of terrorism.
