1. “At the outset, I would like to thank you, Sir, for having organized this debate on the issue of children and armed conflict. I would like to thank Ms. Leila Zerrougui. Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict; Mr. Herve' Ladsous, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations; and today's other briefers for their statements. Over the past 12 years since the adoption of resolution 1379 (2001) in 2001, the issue of children and armed conflict has been a regular item on the Security Council's agenda. A great deal ofprogress has been made to implement the provisions of the relevant resolutions.”

2. “A Syrian-led political process that meets the legitimate aspirations of all sectors of Syrian society is the only way to resolve the crisis and must be seriously pursued by all parties concerned.”

3. “As in previous years, India pledged an amount of $10 million in 2012 as budgetary support to Palestine. India also annually contributes $1 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. India is in the process of implementing projects, bilaterally and through the India, Brazil and South Africa Fund, including in the fields of information and communication technology, vocational training and school construction. In conclusion, let me express our deep concern at the deterioration of the situation in Syria. We believe that the joint communique of the Action Group (S/2012/523, annex), adopted in June 2012, provides a good basis for resolution of the Syrian crisis.”

4. “As a member of the Security Council in 2011 and 2012, India supported Palestine's bid for full and equal membership of the United Nations. Continuing that support, India co-sponsored the General Assembly resolution 67/19 in November 2012, which upgraded the status of Palestine to non-member observer State. India has consistently supported a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian issue with a view to achieving a sovereign, independent, viable and united State of Palestine, living within secure and recognized borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, side by side and at peace with Israel, as endorsed in various Security Council resolutions and the Quartet road map. India has also partnered with Palestine in socioeconomic development and has extended material assistance to the Palestinian Authority.”

5. “The parties should also fully implement the provisions of the ceasefire agreement reached in November 2012. The Ad Hoc Liaison Committee, at its recent meeting in Brussels last month, underscored the urgent need to close the Palestinian Government's financing gap, estimated at $1.2 billion for the current year. In that context, it is important that the international community continue to respond to the financial needs of the Palestinian authority. Since the time of Mahatma Gandhi, India's support for the Palestinian cause has been strong and unwavering. India was the first non-Arab country to recognize the State of Palestine. Since then, India's bonds of friendship with the Palestinian people have been strengthened and reinvigorated by regular interactions.”

6. “It is therefore imperative that efforts aimed at breaking the deadlock and resuming the peace process be reinvigorated. Any political process, to be meaningful, must put an end to Israeli settlement activities. Continuing settlement activities are a violation of international law and harmful to the peace process. We join others in urging Israel to stop settlement activities in order for the Palestinian side to come to the negotiating table. We have noted that Israel has recently taken measures to allow the flow of basic goods into Gaza. Still, the continuing blockade remains in force and is adversely affecting essential services, economic activities and infrastructure development. We continue to call for the complete lifting of the blockade.”

7. “In the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the intensification of settlement activities is quickly eroding the very foundation of a two- State solution. The plight of ordinary Palestinians is worsening every day due to roadblocks and related occupation infrastructure that put restrictions on the free movement of persons and goods. The blockade of Gaza has also continued to cause a great deal of hardship for the Palestinians. The plight of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails requires immediate attention. Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority is facing one of its worst financial crises, which threatens to erode the progress made in building Palestinian State institutions. If the present situation persists, the international community will risk seeing a serious destabilization of the region.”

8. “Mr. President, let me begin by congratulating you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of April. I would also like to express our appreciation for the convening of today's quarterly open debate, which will allow the Council to take stock of recent developments in the Middle East, including the State of Palestine. I would like to thank Under-Secretary-General Jeffrey Feltman for his comprehensive briefing. The Middle East peace process is passing through its most difficult phase in recent times. For more than two years, the parties have not held a single official meeting. The efforts of the international community, including those of the Quartet, have failed to make any impact on the ground.”
