  3. I wish to remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously. Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate the text in writing and to deliver a condensed version when speaking in the Chamber. I also appeal to speakers to deliver their statements at a normal speed to so that the Interpretation Service can carry out its work properly. I wish to inform all those present that we will continue the open debate through the lunch hour, as a large number of speakers remains on the list. I now give the floor to the representative of Lebanon.

  4. We strongly condemn the double attack of 10 January in Tripoli and recall the press statement issued by the Council. Finally, we View it as crucial to reaffirm the importance of resolutions 2170 (2014), on threats to international peace and security posed by terrorist attacks, and 2178 (2014), on foreign terrorist fighters, in keeping with the obligations on States under international law. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to the other members of the Security Council.

  5. Chile commends the Lebanese Government's willingness to take in more than 1 million Syrian nationals, despite the challenges that brings. We urge that other countries in the region cooperate in order to assist the thousands of Syrian families who are seeking better living conditions. In that context, I can announce that Chile is contemplating the possibility of taking in more families of Syrian and Palestinian origin. In view of the resurgence of numerous armed groups along the border with Syria, Chile reiterates the importance of respecting the principle of dissociation outlined in the Baabda Declaration and preventing the involvement there of other armed factions, especially Hizbullah, which aggravates sectarian divisions.

  6. We hope that representatives of all Syrian political tendencies will participate and take the opportunity to contribute to identifying points of convergence that could point to a way out of the crisis. Chile reiterates its condemnation of the violence against civilians, especially women and children, perpetrated by all the parties to the conflict. We believe it is crucial that steps be taken to protect the most vulnerable populations and hold the perpetrators of such crimes accountable. In that regard, one priority is for the parties to the conflict to allow access to the humanitarian aid needed to mitigate the effects of the violence. It is clear that as long as there is no solution to the conflict in Syria, its neighbours, especially Lebanon, will continue to have to deal with a delicate situation.

  7. Chile calls for a general dialogue on the Arab Peace Initiative, based on the principle of land for peace. Lastly, I should like to reiterate that Chile will continue to encourage Palestine and Israel to make progress towards a just and lasting peace. We have a hope, though a faint hope, that this is possible. The time has come to restore trust, resume negotiations and end this long and painful conflict. Concerning the conflict in Syria, my country reiterates that political dialogue is the only solution to the conflict. In that regard, we support the work of the Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Syria, Mr. Staffan de Mistura. Chile also commends the efforts of the Russian Government to convene a peace dialogue to which various opposition groups have been invited.

  8. The international community must continue to support the Palestinian Authority and encourage it, through a process of internal reconciliation, to emphatically distance itself from the extremist narrative of groups that only foster hatred and violence and do not recognize Israel's right to exist. Secondly, we need a more forceful international approach. We appreciate the sustained effort of the United States to advance the peace negotiations. That is an important part of a broader political approach that should involve the multilateral system as a whole. In Chile's view, it is essential that the Security Council define the parameters for the negotiations. The new approach should provide for greater involvement of the European Union, the League of Arab States and the Middle East Quartet.

  9. As we stated at the recent Conference of High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention, most of the international community is urging Israel, as the occupying Power in the occupied Palestinian territory, to abide by international standards for human rights and international humanitarian law. Similarly, unilateral acts such as the illegal settlement policy, the actions of extremist settlers, the eviction of Palestinian families from their homes and collective punishments such as demolition of the houses of people presumed to be involved in terrorist acts must cease. They constitute extra-judicial measures incompatible with the democratic character of the State of Israel. The current situation does nothing to help President Abbas or the leadership of the PLO. On the contrary, it favours the position of radical elements.

  10. We saw Hamas launching rockets indiscriminately against Israel's civilian population, and disproportionate military action against Palestinians, resulting in more than 2,000 deaths, mostly of women and children, and thousands of new internally displaced persons in an already saturated region. Chile has condemned all such actions threatening life, peace and security. The West Bank and East Jerusalem have also been the scene of tensions, fanning fears of a possible third intifada. This shows that the status quo is unsustainable. A new approach is needed, supported by at least a minimal degree of political will. First, the parties must build trust and strengthen their dialogue. That requires continued action and an end to unilateral acts and violent rhetoric.

  11. Unfortunately, after years both of progress and too many setbacks in the negotiations, a two-State solution - in accordance with United Nations resolutions and the terms of reference we are all familiar with on the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian State, living in peace and security side by side with the State of Israel, within secure and internationally recognized borders - is still not a reality. It is discouraging that, for the first time in all these years, there is no peace plan on the table. That sends an extremely negative political signal. In 2014, for the third time in six years, we witnessed new outbreaks of armed violence between factions in the Gaza Strip.

  12. In 2012, Chile was a sponsor of the General Assembly resolution accepting Palestine as a United Nations non-member observer State (General Assembly resolution 67/19). We view those actions as a contribution to the peace process, strengthening the capacity of the Palestinian State and creating the conditions for better institution-building. A little more than two decades after the Oslo Accords between the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), those provisional dispositions have stood the test of time.

  13. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs of Chile. I welcome this opportunity to preside over this debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine. Chile is home to a large colony of people of Palestinian origin, the largest outside the Middle East, and a smaller but significant Jewish community that is fully integrated into Chilean society, living in peace and harmony. Chile recognized the State of Israel early on; in addition, it was one of the first South American countries to open a diplomatic presence in Ramallah. In January 2011, we recognized the State of Palestine and supported its full membership in UNESCO the same year.
