  1. “We rank first among police-contributors and have contributed 1,580 officers so far. We salute all those who work in peacekeeping operations and appreciate their sacrifice in extremely difficult and dangerous conditions. They have shown the highest level of professionalism, dedication and courage in the interests of international peace and security.”

  2. “We should make sure that necessary and firm measures are adopted so that violations can be investigated and perpetrators brought to justice. Lastly, we stress the importance of coordination and cooperation between the Security Council, all relevant United Nations entities and the troop- and police-contributing countries. This would make for better-prepared peacekeeping operations and the enhanced prioritization of their tasks. Countries with broad experience would be particularly helpful in this exercise, which would further the implementation of the recommendations of both the Secretary-General and the High-level Independent Panel. Jordan takes pride in its participation in peacekeeping operations, which proceeds from its moral and humanitarian commitment to the United Nations, the prevention of conflicts and their settlement.”

  3. “Thirdly, deepening cooperation with regional and subregional organizations, particularly the European Union, the African Union and the League of Arab States, is also extremely important for bridging divisions among nations and furthering international and regional responses to the conflicts in the Middle East and Africa that have been deteriorating over the past few years. We encourage the Security Council to promote and expand its cooperation with the League of Arab States in dealing with crises in the Middle East. Fourthly, with respect to accountability for human rights violations resulting from violence or sexual exploitation, we should not allow a few individuals to disgrace peacekeeping operations.”

  4. “To reach the necessary level of preparedness, peacekeepers must be adequately trained and equipped, particularly when they are required to deal with cross- border conflicts that exposes them to extremely dangerous and potentially explosive situations. We believe that the Secretariat and the Security Council should later on determine the steps to be followed in this regard, such as increasing the number of specialized consultants in peacekeeping operations who could provide analyses and recommendations to the Security Council to help in the formulation of future mandates.”

  5. “We believe that sequenced mandates will help the Security Council to save time and effort in dealing with emerging conflicts and preventing their eruption in the first place, particularly in the case of the two most dangerous phenomena: violent extremism and terrorism, and diseases such as Ebola. Sequenced mandates can also play an important role in identifying ways and means of providing protection to civilians, such as increasing the police or military component, or of assisting political processes that require further support or further participation by women. The second phase of any sequenced mandate should include exit strategies that would avoid leaving a security vacuum in the host country. We therefore support the idea that peacekeeping operations should be designed in such a way as to be commensurate with the threats they face.”

  6. “We believe that we could establish a mediation panel composed of experts and consultants that have wide-ranging relations with the parties to the conflict, or with the local communities in the host countries, and that such a panel should be one of the elements taken into consideration in the design of future peacekeeping operations. The advisability of sequenced mandates is the second important recommendation in the reports of the Secretary-General and the Panel. This recommendation should be given consideration in the context not only of new peacekeeping operations but ofcurrent ones as well. Developments on the ground should serve as the compass by which the Security Council determines the type of response that is suited to the particular requirements of each conflict.”

  7. “The first of these is the promotion of mediation, prevention and support of political processes. Peacekeeping operations are not an alternative to national political settlements but rather pave the way for the establishment of a conducive environment for a peaceful settlement among the conflicting parties in a manner that takes the interests of everyone into consideration and bridges the differences between them. Such a settlement cannot be achieved unless it reflects the true will of the parties to the conflict. Therefore, mediation can play a major part. The Security Council's role in that regard is extremely important owing to its political leverage and its mandate to support political processes in many different ways, including through mediation and communication with the parties to the conflict.”

  8. “They are not confined geographically and have developed faster than the ability of the United Nations and the international community to deal with them. What we seek now is not only to limit those conflicts and alleviate their efects, but also to deal with their root causes and prevent them from erupting in the first place. Jordan appreciates the efforts of the Secretary-General and the High-level Independent Panel on Peacekeeping Operations, welcomes their reports and agrees with most of the recommendations contained therein. They have looked at the future of peacekeeping operations from a new and vital perspective. I would like to focus on the four most important recommendations in the reports, which we deem to be of the utmost priority for the Security Council and the General Assembly.”

  9. “Mrs. Kawar (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): I would like to begin my statement by expressing Jordan's strong condemnation of the terrorist attacks that took place in Mali today, and by extending our condolences to the families of the victims. Allow me to express my thanks and appreciation to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his comprehensive briefing and tireless efforts in peacekeeping. This discussion is taking place at an important time. The Secretary-General's report on the future of peacekeeping operations (S/2015/682) and the report of the High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations (see S/2015/446) have acquired a high degree of importance in view of the exacerbating conflicts around the world. Those conflicts have changed in nature over the years and have spread to the extent that now they threaten areas that used to be safe.”

  10. “We commend the Secretary-General for convening the international conference on Ebola last month, which stressed the importance of ongoing investment in those three countries. In conclusion, we call on the international community to maintain its support for the affected countries by providing resources and assistance in order to eliminate Ebola and for the post-Ebola recovery strategy, as well as in strengthening preparedness in facing the challenges raised by the virus.”

  11. “The countries of West Africa should invest in and benefit from the human resources that were developed during the Ebola response period so as to strengthen the confidence of the international community in their national health services. That will enhance the engagement oflocal communites in post-Ebola recovery strategies. The capacities of those communities could be built up so as to strengthen their countries' economic development. The international community cannot ignore the serious impact ofEbola on the socioeconomic situation of those countries, especially given the fact that the three countries most severely affected are on the agenda of the Peacebuilding Commission.”

  12. “The resurgence of Ebola in Liberia following the announcement that it was Ebola-free requires the international community and the stakeholders to support the affected countries in preventing the rebound of Ebola cases. The public health systems of the countries of West Africa constitute a major obstacle to the elimination of Ebola. The Governments of the affected countries should, with the assistance of international and regional organizations, scale up and improve their health-care systems. It is clear that Ebola spread very quickly because of the weakness ofthose systems. We must also establish monitoring, surveillance and early detection systems, especially in areas of migration and cross- border movement, in order to prevent transmission at the regional and international levels.”

  13. “I offer my thanks and appreciation to the entire staff of UNMEER for their sacrifices and efforts to control the spread of Ebola. We also thank all countries that provided medical equipment and financial resources. We hope that the World Health Organization (WHO), which has assumed UNMEER's responsibilities, will be able to halt the spread of Ebola altogether. We must capitalize on this international achievement and completely finish our work, especially given the fact that the ongoing negative indications, while limited, could reignite the danger. Guinea and Sierra Leone, for instance, continue to suffer Ebola virus infections, despite the decline in the number of cases and the shrinking areas of transmission.”

  14. “Mrs. Kawar (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to thank you, Madam President, for convening this important meeting. I also thank Dr. David Nabarro, Dr. Margaret Chan, Mr. Tete Antonio, Mr. Per Thoresson and Dr. Mosoka Fallah for their comprehensive briefings. At almost the same time last year, we met (see S/PV.7268) to consider the serious consequences of Ebola and how to deal with this unprecedented type of threat to international peace and security. The unity within the Council and the intensified coordination of regional and international efforts guided the effective response to the Ebola outbreak and the establishment of the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER), which completed its tasks a few days ago, having achieved the key goals of its mission.”
