“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Arab Emirates. I thank the Special Representative of the Secretary- General, Ms. Bintou Keita, for her comprehensive briefing and her work. I welcome the participation of the Permanent Representative of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to today’s Council meeting and congratulate his country on joining the East African Community. I join others in expressing our condolences to the people and the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the families of the victims of the most recent attacks in Ituri and North Kivu. These attacks underscore the need to further address the complex and interconnected security challenges facing the country, particularly in its eastern region, if sustainable peace is to be achieved.”

“The members of the Security Council were deeply saddened to learn of the recent and untimely passing of Ambassador Jim Kelly, distinguished diplomat and Deputy Permanent Representative of Ireland to the United Nations. Ambassador Kelly was a true champion of the United Nations and of the Council. As a committed multilateralist, he believed in the power of diplomacy to change the world for the better. He brought a sharp intellect and encyclopaedic knowledge of the Council to our discussions around this table and outside this Chamber. As a colleague and friend, he was described by many members as warm and generous, with a great sense of humour. Within his Mission, Jim was a mentor to many of his younger colleagues, who will miss him.”

“The Sudanese people have shown their determination to overcome this difficult period and build an inclusive, stable and prosperous State. We call on the friends and partners of the Sudan, including the Security Council, to support the aspirations of the Sudanese people in a manner that respects the Sudan’s sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and national unity. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of the Sudan.”

“With regard to the security situation in some parts of the Sudan, we recognize the important steps undertaken by the Sudanese authorities to address these challenges. We also view the role of the Darfur Permanent Ceasefire Committee as critical in the context of completing the integration of forces and beginning the implementation of the security arrangements outlined in the Juba Peace Agreement. We join the Secretary-General in welcoming the steps to operationalize the Committee, which requires international donors to allocate adequate logistical and financial resources so that it can carry out its tasks. In conclusion, we reiterate that our primary responsibility must be to incentivize greater progress and achieve a successful political transition in the Sudan.”

“Inflation averaged 350 per cent in 2021, food prices have sharply risen, and the provision of basic goods and services is constrained. The economic situation is further exacerbated by climate change and the disruption of the agricultural season. It is now projected that over 14 million people will require humanitarian assistance in 2022, which underlines the importance of heeding the Secretary- General’s call for the States Members of the United Nations to respond swiftly to the humanitarian needs in the Sudan. As part of our commitment to highlighting the implementation of resolution 2565 (2021), we note that fewer than 5 per cent of the Sudan’s people are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus disease, which requires investing in the Sudan’s health system and combining vaccination efforts with other essential services.”

“In this regard, we highlight the active and broad participation in consultations, including women and youth, as well as the consultations held with international and regional partners, including the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development. This demonstrates widespread support for a Sudanese-led political transition that fulfils the aspirations of the brotherly Sudanese people. With regard to the social, economic and humanitarian situation in the Sudan, and despite the economic reforms that have been implemented as part of the political transition over the past two years, in cooperation with international partners, the suspension of international assistance has negatively affected the economy of the Sudan.”

“We therefore urge the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to alleviate the growing human suffering of its people by providing for their basic needs and necessities and by cooperating with the United Nations to allow its humanitarian personnel to return to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and carry out their work. In conclusion, my country reiterates that compliance with and the full implementation of Security Council resolutions by all Member States remain an essential pillar for maintaining international peace and security.

“In that regard, we commend the diplomatic efforts to resume dialogue and we strongly urge the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to respond positively to those endeavours and return to the negotiating table without preconditions. We also emphasize the importance, in this critical situation, of the key parties finding a common formula to define an acceptable framework for moving forward. While the decision-makers in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea continue to devote their country’s limited resources to developing nuclear and missile capabilities, the people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea continue to suffer in the difficult humanitarian situation caused largely by their country’s policies.”

“We also support the statement issued by the Secretary- General yesterday regarding the recent escalation by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. While we express our deep concern over the continued escalation by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, in the absence of deterrent measures by the Security Council for those violations, we stress the importance of the Council’s unity in responding to that dangerous escalation, which, we repeat, undermines regional security on the Korean peninsula and affects international security and stability. At this critical juncture, my country reiterates the importance of pursuing peaceful solutions and giving priority to dialogue and diplomatic endeavours to avoid further escalation.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Arab Emirates. I thank the Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, for her valuable briefing. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea continues to demonstrate its disregard for international law by resuming missile tests in September. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has launched 13 ballistic missiles since the beginning of this year alone, including the recent test of an intercontinental ballistic missile. Accordingly, the United Arab Emirates condemns, in the strongest terms, those missile tests, which constitute a flagrant violation of international law and the relevant Security Council resolutions.”

“My country emphasizes the importance of continuing the delivery of humanitarian aid across the border into Syria in accordance with resolution 2585 (2021). All concerned parties on the ground must cooperate to ensure that humanitarian aid across the conflict lines reaches all those in need. In conclusion, a political solution to the Syrian crisis is still possible, especially when we combine efforts to overcome current obstacles. We must move away from merely managing the crisis towards solving it, in order to meet the aspirations and basic needs of the brotherly Syrian people. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic.”

“Approximately 6 per cent of the people have been fully vaccinated, which requires greater attention from the international community. In this regard, the United Arab Emirates has completed the construction of two field hospitals in Damascus and Aleppo to treat those infected with COVID-19. Additionally, we have also supported a vaccination programme for Syrian refugees in Jordan, which sought to vaccinate 12,000 refugees in the Emirati Jordanian camp in Mrajeeb Al-Fhood. as well as in the camps at Zaatari, Azraq and AlHadiqa. We also underscore the importance of providing support to Arab countries affected by the Syrian crisis, especially by assisting them in the provision of basic services to refugees. These are the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Republic of Iraq, the Lebanese Republic and the Arab Republic of Egypt.”

“Turning to the humanitarian situation, we again emphasize that it is unacceptable to leave the Syrian people — including those who are displaced — to face horrendous conditions in which they lack the most basic needs, such as electricity, food and drinking water. Syrian children have been particularly affected by those conditions, as most of them have lived through the atrocities of war and its consequences. The worsening of the economic situation affects every Syrian citizen. The World Food Programme reports that food prices in Syria have risen to unprecedented levels over the past few months, causing the humanitarian situation to deteriorate further. With regard to the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) across Syria, providing medical supplies to the Syrian people remains a priority.”

“Pedersen to converge regional and international political views on addressing the effects of the Syrian crisis. We also welcome the convening of the seventh session of the Constitutional Committee, as well as the positive developments regarding the agreement to discuss the constitutional principles, in the past few days. Further progress requires all parties to continue engaging in dialogue in good faith and to take tangible steps in that direction. As we call for strengthening the Arab role in Syria as part of efforts to end the crisis, we also renew our rejection of foreign interference in Syria, the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of which must be respected.”

“To address the political situation, the United Arab Emirates believes that there is an urgent need to find practical and effective solutions to end the Syrian crisis, especially considering that the war in Syria has entered its twelfth year, resulting in more than 6.5 million refugees worldwide. That can be done by adopting a practical and logical approach. We seek diplomatic solutions to crises and call for an effective Arab role to discuss ways to solve the Syrian crisis, instead of merely managing it. The Syrian President’s recent visit to the United Arab Emirates is a result of that approach. We continue to support the efforts of the United Nations to reach a political solution in accordance with resolution 2254 (2015), including the efforts of Mr.”

I also welcome the participation of Mr. Zaki, Assistant Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, and thank him for his briefing, which highlighted the impact of the Syrian crisis on neighbouring Arab countries. We would like to note that the previous briefing by the League of Arab States to the Council on Syria was in 2012 (S/PV.6710). It is important to strengthen cooperation between the Council and the League to find Arab solutions to Arab crises, including in Syria, since its stability is an essential pillar of Arab security.”

“While agreement was not possible today, the Council cannot abrogate its responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. We must work in good faith and try our utmost to help all those in need on the ground today. The United Arab Emirates stands ready to aid those efforts with the full urgency that this work deserves.

“But meanwhile, building on the dialogue that led to the Sumy convoy, we must encourage agreement on other technical steps to alleviate human suffering, for example, on civilian evacuation, access to aid and windows of silence. Such measures will provide much- needed respite after four weeks of fighting and may also lay the groundwork for a more comprehensive humanitarian response as part of a negotiated settlement. We believe the Security Council needs to rise to the occasion by adopting a dedicated compromise product that contains elements we can agree on, including a call on the parties to comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law, including in relation to the wounded and the sick, missing persons and the protection of combatants and non-combatants.”

“Ultimately, however, we abstained in the voting because we would have liked to see, one month into this conflict, a call for a nationwide cessation of hostilities and a text that garnered the full support of Council members. The continued fighting precludes the robust aid operations all of us hope to see in Ukraine, not least of which because it risks the safety of humanitarian workers. We also would have preferred greater clarity on the full application of international humanitarian law and with regard to elements that may be misconstrued to imply a political position that falls outside the scope of a humanitarian resolution.”

“It is precisely this kind of coordination that we hope to encourage and see formalized soon so as to help those most in need in a safe manner and in accordance with international humanitarian law. Nevertheless, we believe there is a crucial role for the Security Council to play in line with its responsibility for maintaining international peace and security and to tangibly respond to the crisis. We therefore carefully studied all the products brought to the Security Council by members, including the draft resolution submitted by the Russian Federation (S/2022/231), which includes substantive responses to the humanitarian needs in the country. We endorse its calls to allow safe passage without discrimination, unhindered access to humanitarian aid, and the demand that international humanitarian law be protected.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Arab Emirates. All of us in this Chamber acknowledge the necessity of addressing the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. In less than a month, more than 3.5 million people fled to such neighbouring countries as Moldova, Romania and Poland, and we must recognize and express appreciation for their generosity. Furthermore, amid the continued fighting within Ukraine’s borders, 6.5 million people have been displaced, often without access to basic necessities. We also recognize the donor community’s robust response to the humanitarian appeal by the United Nations, and we were encouraged by the dialogue between the United Nations, Ukraine and the Russian Federation that led to the first humanitarian convoy reaching Sumy in eastern Ukraine on 18 March.”

“We support Special Coordinator Wennesland’s call to halt all such practices and safeguard the prospect of a two-State solution, whereby Israel must uphold its responsibilities in accordance with international law and the relevant United Nations resolutions. As part of the presidency’s pledge to shed light on the pandemic, which started two years ago, we would like to note that a mere 49 per cent of Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories have been vaccinated against the coronavirus disease. That requires addressing the challenges that prevent achieving the desired vaccination rate. We stress the need to empower Palestinian women in all sectors and support projects and programmes that meet their needs given their important role in promoting stability and development, as well as the conflict’s disproportionate impact on them.”

“We also commend the efforts of the Arab Republic of Egypt to resume the reconstruction process in the Gaza Strip and to maintain calm there. With regard to the implementation of resolution 2334 (2016), reports confirm that we have witnessed an upsurge in settlement activities in recent years, which significantly affects the lives of the Palestinian population and constitutes a violation of international law. The continued settler violence in the occupied Palestinian territories is particularly worrisome. We express further concern over the persistent forced displacement of Palestinians and the demolition and confiscation of their homes and properties. Such acts only further worsen Palestinians’ humanitarian conditions and undermine development efforts.”

“We also support his call to the parties concerned to work to reduce tensions, especially in the city of Jerusalem, and refrain from taking any action that may exacerbate tensions and increase escalation. That also requires the parties to make proactive and coordinated efforts to consolidate and preserve the basis of the recent truce. In that regard, my country appreciates the efforts of Jordan, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein, to reach a common understanding that ensures calm and peace during the upcoming period. While we call on all parties to exercise restraint, especially in the light of other tensions in the region, we stress the need to respect the freedom of Palestinians to practise their religious rites and the seriousness of violating them or violating the sanctity of the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

Our discussion today comes as the region approaches the month of Ramadan, as well as other upcoming holy occasions for the three Abrahamic religions. Such occasions represent an opportunity to promote the values of peaceful coexistence among different religions. As Mr. Wennesland said, we hope that the upcoming period will be one of calm, in contrast to the traumatic events that occurred in the occupied Palestinian territory at this time last year.”

“In that regard, we commend the role of the Secretariat in supporting and coordinating the humanitarian response, which should focus particularly on women and children. We also commend the efforts made by neighbouring countries in receiving fleeing Ukrainians. The United Arab Emirates will provide $5 million to alleviate the suffering of Ukrainians. Additionally, we have sent today 30 metric tons of medical and relief aid to Ukraine. In conclusion, we stress that resolving the humanitarian crisis radically and preventing further damage and casualties require, first and foremost, restraint and an immediate ceasefire throughout Ukraine. It also requires opening diplomatic channels to sustainably end the conflict. We welcome the continued high-level engagement of the international community with both parties.”
