  1. It is a necessity of today's world, requiring all those involved to apply United Nations principles and call for accountability when they are violated.

  2. The withdrawal of foreign troops is essential for creating the prerequisites for conflict prevention and conflict resolution in the Republic of Moldova. The lack of progress in the settlement of protracted conflicts and the continued illegal foreign military presence on the national territories of some Member States require not only more direct involvement from the appropriate United Nations bodies and regional organizations but also common action that takes into account both the prevention and resolution aspects of the problems. We clearly need productive partnerships that can prevent conflicts, address the root causes of conflicts and end them. In conclusion, I would like to stress that strengthening the cooperation between the United Nations and regional entities is not merely an alternative approach to multilateralism.

  3. We believe that no conflict in the world should be disregarded by the United Nations, irrespective of whether or not they are on the Security Council's agenda. The protracted conflict situation in the eastern part of the Republic of Moldova - a problem that is also complicated by an illegal foreign military presence on our national territory - is one such conflict. By adopting a resolution in June on the complete and unconditional withdrawal of Russian military forces from the territory of the Republic of Moldova (resolution 72/282), the General Assembly renewed the linkage between regional efforts at the level of Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe on the matter and on the United Nations platform.

  4. Nonetheless, the constructive potential of regional organizations in that area is often undermined by the limited interests of individual members that use their authority to obstruct important initiatives or to limit the scope of cooperation between regional arrangements and the United Nations that could be valuable to settlement processes. It is our firm belief that there is much more that can be drawn from regional partnerships, so long as all actors involved abide by Charter principles. The deteriorating security situation and lack of progress in the settlement of protracted conflicts in the post-Soviet space cannot go unnoticed. In that regard, a question arises as to the actual role and effectiveness of relevant regional arrangements and their coordination efforts with the United Nations.

  5. We commend the Secretary-General's efforts in that direction and thank him for his insightful briefing today and related reports. In pursuing their agendas and applying their distinctive approaches to conflict prevention and resolution, regional arrangements and their member States must act in good faith and in strict compliance with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular when it comes to ensuring respect for the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of States. States have the primary responsibility for conflict prevention, a prerogative that has been stressed several times in Security Council resolutions.

  6. In line with their respective mandates and comparative advantages, the United Nations and regional arrangements should strive to share the burden of their efforts by pooling resources and creating new synergies. We encourage the establishment of coordination mechanisms at the Secretariat level to operationalize cooperation among organizations in the field of conflict prevention and resolution. The current restructuring of the peace and security pillar of the United Nations, with conflict prevention and sustaining peace at the core, offers an excellent opportunity to enhance the Secretariat's capacities to work on regional issues and strengthen the interaction between the United Nations and the regional arrangements.

  7. The Republic of Moldova fully supports the further development of cooperation between the United Nations and regional arrangements in that field. The United Nations and regional arrangements can work together more effectively by gathering, consolidating and sharing good practices and lessons learned. Effective conflict prevention and resolution requires building coherent and proactive partnerships between the United Nations and regional arrangements. The focus on conflict prevention and resolution is already a notable feature of the existing partnerships between the United Nations and some regional arrangements, including the European Union and the African Union.

  8. Allow me to first to thank you, Mr. President, for convening today's open debate on the role of States, regional arrangements and the United Nations in the prevention and resolution of conflicts. The Republic of Moldova aligns itself with the statement made by the observer of the European Union and would like to add some remarks from a national perspective. It is widely recognized that the nature of contemporary conflicts is changing rapidly and has become more complex. The prevention and resolution of conflicts, particularly protracted ones, is not the sole responsibility or prerogative of one multilateral organization or one country. It is a responsibility shared by the entire international community.
