  1. “In accordance with rule 37 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representative of Turkey to participate in this meeting. I now give the floor to the representative of Turkey.”

  2. “The Council must not retreat from its commitment to ensuring that the conditions on the ground are verifiably safe for people to return home after years of war. The United States believes that, with focus and effort, the Council can achieve the goals that I just described in the next 12 months. Doing so would represent a meaningful and necessary step towards a more lasting peace in line with resolution 2254 (2015) - a peace that would allow the Syrian people to at last begin the work of rebuilding their lives. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic.”

  3. “Finally, the Council must remain united in its efforts to keep the United Nations at the centre of any attempts to facilitate the principled return of Syrian refugees and internally displaced persons to a place of their choosing. The United States is alarmed by reports that more than 150 people who voluntarily left the Rukban encampment for Horns were arrested and arbitrarily detained by the regime, and that that was carried out despite the United Nations, the United States and the Russian Federation working together to facilitate safe and informed departures. We call for the immediate release of those civilians in regime custody and for the regime to stop its use of torture and the denial of due process.”

  4. “For too long, the world has watched the Al-Assad regime block the delivery of food, medicine and other humanitarian relief to reassert control over the Syrian people. Next year, the Council must work together and press Damascus to permit the United Nations to have regular and unhindered access to people in need throughout the country. Thirdly, we ask that the Council support humanitarian access to north-eastern Syria for all relevant partners, including the United Nations and other international humanitarian organizations. Access to north-eastern Syria is critical to ensuring that communities recovering from the scourge of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham (ISIS) can receive the provisions they need. It is equally critical to ensuring that ISIS cannot re-emerge in Iraq or Syria.”

  5. “The regime's cynical strategy of attacking its own population, while asking the international community to provide reconstruction assistance to Damascus, will not go without a response. But our response cannot come at the expense of innocent victims. Rather, the Council must redouble its commitment to the political process outlined in resolution 2254 (2015) and its promise to reform how the Al-Assad regime treats the Syrian people. Secondly, the Security Council must take steps to increase the quality and quantity of United Nations regular access to Syria, which remains at just 30 per cent of the desired level. The United Nations must be allowed to expand operations to areas including south- western Syria, Homs, and the Damascus suburbs.”

  6. “First, the Council can and should do much more to demand that the parties on the ground verifiably improve humanitarian access. In 2020, no Syrian should be denied lifesaving assistance because he or she lives in an area not under regime control or fears that military operations by the Al-Assad regime, Russia or any other party will cause United Nations aid convoys to turn back before completing a delivery. We call on the Al-Assad regime and the Russian Federation to uphold an immediate cessation of hostilities in north-western Syria and in the rest of the country. A ceasefire is essential to addressing the needs of the people in Idlib and to honouring commitments made by Presidents Putin and Erdogan in Sochi in 2018.”

  7. “However, before we look ahead to what the Council should do next year to improve humanitarian conditions in Syria, there is still one thing the Council must achieve in 2019, and that is the renewal of the life-saving provisions of the Security Council's cross-border aid mandate - resolution 2165 (2014). The United States rises alongside the Secretary- General, the Office for the Coordination ofHumanitarian Affairs, the millions of Syrians who depend on that resolution, and United Nations implementers to demand the renewal of the resolution's provisions for all existing crossings. As we set our intentions for the new year, we see several achievable steps that the Council can take to demonstrate our commitment to real peace for Syrians in 2020.”

  8. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United States. I thank Assistant Secretary-General Mueller for her briefing. Ijoin others in welcoming His Excellency Mr. Aljarallah, Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Kuwait, and in commending Kuwait on its term on the Security Council and the strong partnership and leadership which that country has exhibited on several issues, including the humanitarian issues that we are discussing today. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Kuwait. A new year is on the horizon in Syria, and with it comes the hope not only that the Council's efforts in the country will improve, but also that the 11 million Syrians who have endured years of suffering might see an end to the violent conflict.”

  9. “I thank Ms. Mueller for her briefing. I wish to draw the attention of speakers to paragraph 22 of presidential note S/2017/507, which encourages all participants in Council meetings to deliver their statements in five minutes or less, in line with the Security Council's commitment to making more effective use of open meetings. I shall now give the floor to those members of the Council who wish to make statements.”

  10. “In accordance with rule 37 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic to participate in this meeting. In accordance with rule 39 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite Ms. Ursula Mueller, Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, to participate in this meeting. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2019/949, which contains the report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of Security Council resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014), 2191 (2014), 2258 (2015), 2332 (2016), 2393 (2017), 2401 (2018) and 2449 (2018). I now give the floor to Ms. Mueller.”
