  1. “We, therefore, do not believe in a new demarcation of the borders between Palestine and Israel. Ultimately, this would further worsen problems in the territory. Moreover, we believe that suspension of financial aid imposed on the Government and the people of Palestine is a bad mistake. These coercive and inhuman measures affect only the people, women, children and men alike. As a peace-loving country, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela calls for a comprehensive and peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We hope that the negotiations to that end will be carried out in conditions that guarantee genuine self- determination for the Palestinian people and bring peace to the Middle East region.”

  2. “We believe that a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the Palestinian problem - the nucleus of the Arab-Israeli conflict - must be based on the relevant United Nations resolutions and the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, endorsed by the General Assembly, regarding the construction of the Israeli wall in the occupied Palestinian territory, as well as on the following fundamental principles: the withdrawal of Israel from the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including Jerusalem, and other occupied Arab territories; respect for the right of all States in the region to live in peace, without any form of intervention, within internationally recognized borders; and, finally, the recognition of the inalienable rights the Palestinian people, in particular their right to self-determination and to development.”

  3. “The future of the Palestinian people can be determined only by the Palestinians themselves. We cannot judge people when they choose their leaders; that would be contrary to democracy. In Venezuela, we are also convinced that in order for violence to cease in both the Israeli and Palestinian territory, full control over their territory must be returned to the Palestinian people. Peace cannot exist while the occupation continues, since occupation will always be rejected by the people. Similarly, we must stop the military actions of the Israelis in that territory, which succeed only in claiming innocent victims.”

  4. “If international peace and security are to be maintained, relations between States, regardless of the ideology of those States, must be in strict conformity with the Charter of the United Nations and generally recognized principles and norms of international relations, in particular, full respect for all human rights, the non-use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State, non-intervention and non-interference in the internal or external affairs of States and peoples or with respect to their natural resources, and the principle of the self-determination of peoples and their freedom from colonial or neo- colonial domination, foreign occupation or racist regimes. In Venezuela, we are convinced that sovereignty resides exclusively with the people.”

  5. “Mrs. Nunez de Odreman (Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. We would also like to express our gratitude to Ambassador Mayoral for his work during the month of March. We endorse the comments made by the representative of Malaysia on behalf of the Non- Aligned Movement. We are meeting in the Security Council today to consider the regrettable events that have recently taken place in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. In response to those events, we are morally obligated to express some opinions and to make a contribution on behalf of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.”

  6. “We also participated in the meeting in South Africa of the group of experts mandated with drafting the Andean Plan to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in all its Aspects, and we are signatory to the Quirama Declaration on that issue.”

  7. “The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is complying with and implementing measures established under the United Nations Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects. In that regard, I note here in the Security Council that Venezuela submitted its national report last year. Regionally, we have complied with the norms established under the Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacture and Trafficking in Weapons, Munitions, Explosives and Related Materials, adopted by the Organization of American States.”

  8. “Those statements are exaggerated, tendentious and aimed at persuading international public opinion that the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is a country that shelters criminals and terrorists, and not a sovereign State endowed with the legitimate right to defend itself and to purchase any weapons it deems necessary to maintain its territorial integrity and to defend its sovereignty. Reiterating the comments made by the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Mr. Hugo Chavez Frias, we also believe that the United States has no authority to question the purchase of equipment and we urge it not to intervene in the internal affairs and to respect the sovereignty of States. We also ask the Council to remain vigilant for any measure aimed against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.”

  9. “In that respect, we believe it appropriate in this forum to denounce the uncertainty expressed by spokesmen of the Department of State of the United States of America regarding the purchase of Russian equipment by my Government. We wish to make it clear that the purchase and provision of equipment to our national armed forces serve two purposes: to support the civil population and to defend the national sovereignty. We categorically reject the statements made by the spokesmen of the United States Department of State to the effect that the weapons purchased by my Government could fall into the hands of international criminals.”

  10. “In that regard, we agree with the recommendations outlined by the Secretary-General in his report, in particular recommendation 1 on the negotiations being pursued in the Open-ended Working Group to negotiate an international instrument to enable States to identify and trace, in a timely and reliable manner, illicit small arms and light weapons, pursuant to General Assembly resolution 58/241. We also agree that States are endowed with the right to manufacture, import and stockpile small arms and light weapons to meet their legitimate defence and security needs. We believe that such operations represent the sovereign right of nations to equip themselves.”

  11. “However, that must not undermine the right of self-determination, taking into account the special situation of peoples that have been subjected to colonial domination or other forms of domination and foreign occupation, and recognizing the right of those peoples to adopt legitimate measures to ensure their inalienable right to self-determination, as noted in the report of the United Nations Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects.”

  12. “We stress the need for effective efforts to resolve the problem of small arms and light weapons through administrative measures and legislation, and we call on manufacturers and on the nations possessing the largest arsenals to make significant reductions in the production of and trade in conventional weapons - which constitute the main source of the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons. All of this is linked to the public harm caused by the trade in those weapons, in addition to its ties to such criminal activities as organized crime, drug trafficking and terrorism.”

  13. “Mrs. Nunez de Odreman (Venezuela) (spoke in Spanish): On behalf of the delegation of Venezuela, allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council. The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela considers that the issue of small arms and light weapons is of the utmost importance. We are as concerned about it as all the other members of the international community. We believe that the indiscriminate and illicit use of such weapons and their unbridled proliferation are increasing insecurity.”
