1. “While working for a durable ceasefire in Gaza and a lessening of tensions in the West Bank, we must keep in mind that the only long-term answer is a negotiated settlement, with the two-State solution as its essence. As such, the Republic of Korea appeals to both sides to return to the negotiating table as soon as possible.”

2. “The Republic of Korea urges all Israelis and Palestinians to exercise maximum restraint before the situation spins even further out of control. We encourage the regional mediators to redouble their efforts to bring. While we are dismayed that the earlier Egyptian-proposed ceasefire did not hold, we hope that new modalities can be agreed upon that can bring relief to those in the crossfire. We reiterate our call for an immediate ceasefire, as articulated by the press statement issued by the Council on 12 July (SC/11472). We strongly support the Secretary-General's efforts to de-escalate the situation, including through his trip to the Middle East tomorrow.”

3. “At the same time, we are concerned by the mounting civilian casualties in Gaza as a result of Israeli air strikes and shelling. We fear that such a large number of casualties will only increase ifthe ongoing hostilities continue. The humanitarian situation is also dire, and the daily updates of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs on Gaza make for harrowing reading, as they describe over 600,000 people at risk of losing access to water, traumatized children in need of psychosocial support, mass displacements and a severe lack of food and medicine. We commend the ongoing work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East and thank Special Coordinator Robert Serry for having negotiated a five-hour humanitarian pause between the two sides.”

4. “I thank you, Sir, for organizing today's meeting to urgently discuss the volatile situation in the Middle East. I also thank Under- Secretary-General Jeffrey Feltman for his presentation. The Republic of Korea is deeply concerned as the situation in Israel and the Gaza Strip plunges dangerously into greater turmoil. Fierce air strikes and continued rocket barrages are gravely affecting a number of civilians on both sides. The launch of a ground operation by Israel is alarming, as it represents a serious escalation of the situation. We condemn the indiscriminate rocket attacks from Gaza into Israel. The increased range of the rockets being deployed by Hamas and Islamic Jihad is particularly troubling, as it could extend the clashes to an even more dangerous level.”

5. “We support the ongoing efforts to bring stability to Ukraine, in particular the efforts of the United Nations, the European Union, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and bilateral partners. Such efforts, aimed at de-escalating the violence in eastern Ukraine, should continue despite the daunting challenges.”

6. “A thorough and independent international investigation, involving, among others, the International Civil Aviation Organization, must be conducted immediately. Whoever is responsible for the tragedy must be held fully accountable. If this incident turns out to have been caused by a deliberate attack, the Republic of Korea, itself a former victim of hostilities against a civilian airlines, believes that the international community should do everything in its power to bring the perpetrators to justice as quickly as possible. No one should be allowed, for any reason, to get away with killing so many innocent people, who had nothing to do with what is happening on the ground.”

7. “I would like to thank Under-Secretary-General Feltman for his briefing on the tragic incident in Ukraine. The Republic of Korea expresses its utmost shock and outrage at the downing of the Malaysia Airlines passenger plane in eastern Ukraine yesterday. We deplore the loss of nearly 300 innocent civilian lives aboard that commercial airliner. On behalf of the people and the Government of the Republic of Korea, I extend my deepest condolences to the people and Governments of Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Netherlands, the Philippines and the United Kingdom and other affected countries. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims at this difficult time.”

8. “Syria continues to be devastated by the never- ending violence, and civilians, including women and children, continue to bear the brunt of the war. Under the circumstances, it is critical for the Council to see to it that this new resolution actually makes a difference in the humanitarian situation on the ground. We urge all parties in Syria, particularly the Syrian Government, to fully comply with the provisions of resolution 2165 (2014) and the Council's presidential statement of2 October 2013 (S/PRST/2013/15). For its part, the Security Council should live up to its promise that it will take further measures in the event of non-compliance by any party.”

9. “The Republic of Korea welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 2165 (2014). We greatly appreciate the hard work of the authors of resolution 2165 (2014) - Australia, Jordan and Luxembourg - during the past several weeks. The resolution that we have adopted today is crafted in an operationally focused manner so as to address the current ineffectiveness of humanitarian access into and within Syria. The Republic of Korea co-sponsored and voted in favour of the resolution in the expectation of the full and immediate implementation ofthe measures provided for therein. More than four months have passed since the Council adopted resolution 2139 (2014), which remains far from having been implemented.”

11. “All Member States should heed the recommendations of the report, such as being alert against risks involved with the diversion of dual-use goods and proliferation financing. The recent interdiction in the Red Sea of a large load of conventional arms, including rockets, and the subsequent findings in the Panel's inspection report on 16 June demonstrate the need for such continued vigilance. It is crucial for the 1737 Committee to actively follow up on the reports and take timely and effective actions in response to the violation. We also appreciate the 1737 Committee's ongoing cooperation with the Financial Action Task Force and expect further synergy between the Committee, other relevant committees and international and regional organizations.”

12. “We also underline that Iran should faithfully cooperate with the P5+1, the IAEA and the broader international community to resolve current and past issues, including all aspects of the possible military dimensions of its nuclear programme. Nonetheless, as emphasized once again by the Chair of the 1737 Committee, we would like to stress that the measures and obligations on the relevant Security Council resolutions remain in effect until the Council adopts a new, superseding resolution on this issue. In that regard, the final report submitted by the Panel of Experts deserves particular attention. It provides a clear rationale for us to remain vigilant against continued activities prohibited under the relevant resolutions.”

13. “I would like to thank Ambassador Gary Quinlan for his briefing on the work of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1737 (2006). We greatly appreciate his able leadership and the robust activities of the Panel of Experts, including the submission of this year's final report (S/2014/394, annex). Let me begin by reiterating my Government's support for the ongoing efforts between the P5+1 and Iran as well as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Iran to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue once and for all. In that regard, we welcome the progress on the implementation of the agreed measures and look forward to the conclusion of a comprehensive plan of action soon.”

14. “At the same time, we reiterate that an inclusive political process is the essential foundation for a stable and democratic future for all Ukrainian people. We encourage the Ukrainian Government, building on the legitimacy of the democratically elected president, to lead comprehensive reform measures that reflect the wishes of all Ukrainians. The protection of all ethnic and linguistic minorities should be a priority in that process. Finally, we appreciate the ongoing diplomatic efforts towards the stabilization of Ukraine, in particular those of the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the European Union and bilateral partners. We encourage all parties to continue such efforts to seek a peaceful political solution.”

15. “Moreover, the continuing clashes between the armed groups and the Ukrainian forces exacerbate the situation, resulting in an increased loss of life, further displacement and the destruction of vital infrastructure. In the light of such a volatile situation, we welcome the efforts of the Ukrainian Government to stop the escalation of violence and seek a peaceful settlement as shown in President Poroshenko's peace plan. We call for the illegal armed groups to reciprocate those efforts and immediately halt all acts of violence and lay down their arms. It is important to ensure the full implementation of the peace plan in order to achieve a sustainable solution to the crisis. In that regard, we welcome the fact that Russian President Putin has expressed support for the peace plan.”

16. “I would like to thank Assistant Secretaries-General Zerihoun and Simonovie for their briefings. The Republic of Korea appreciates the dedicated work of the United Nations human rights monitoring mission in Ukraine and its informative and comprehensive report. The recent report of the United Nations human rights monitoring mission identified a number of worrying human rights concerns in Ukraine, particularly in the eastern region. We note with deep concern that the human rights situation in Donetsk and Lugansk has continued to deteriorate with increased violence and criminal activities by illegal armed groups. We are particularly disheartened to learn that lawlessness and violence, including abductions, arbitrary detentions, torture, harassment and killings are now affecting the broader population of those regions.”

17. “As the Secretary-General also pointed out, since the landmark Brahimi report of 2000 (8/2000/809), there has been a sea change in the environments where peacekeeping operatiosn carry out their mandates. It is true that the Security Council should carefully avoid burdening peacekeeping missions with tasks that exceed the principles of a United Nations peacekeeping operation. However, the role of a peacekeeping operation 10 years ago was different from that of today. It is natural to assume that its role 10 years from now will also go beyond today's boundaries to meet the upcoming challenges. We would therefore like to emphasize the importance of keeping an open mind to embracing the necessary changes.”

18. “We look forward to the report of the expert panel organized by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and the Department of Field Support in that regard. Fifthly, discussions related to peacekeeping operations in the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations, the Fifth Committee of the General Assembly and the Security Council need to be linked with a view to enabling a comprehensive review of the military, legal, civilian and budgetary implications. We would like to propose that the Secretary-General establish a system-wide cooperation framework among peacekeeping operation-related entities and submit a comprehensive report on the direction of the development of such United Nations operations.”

19. “taking into account all relevant factors, including a cost-benefit analysis and the scope of cooperation. Fourthly, we believe that modernizing peacekeeping operations could provide solutions to some challenges that we face. Unarmed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), for example, can monitor the movement of conflicting parties and help to prevent a possible crisis. The UAVs utilized by peacekeeping operations do not even need to be equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The use of UAVs can be cost effective and practical, especially in risky areas or those that are difficult to access. Efforts should be made to take political and legal concerns into account in meeting the requirement of respect for sovereignty, transparency and confidentiality.”

20. “Sequencing the deployment of troops, police and civilians is recommended, as in the case of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic, in particular when inactivity is expected in the case of simultaneous deployment. Thirdly, inter-mission cooperation can benefit from past lessons. Recently, the experience of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan illustrates that such cooperation requires more time and greater costs than expected. Securing critical enablers is always a tremendous challenge. A prolonged crisis will test the capability of the dispatching missions and give rise to the option of a new force generation. To maximize the usefulness of inter-mission cooperation, we request that the Secretariat establish more systematic guidelines.”

21. “The support granted to the Force Intervention Brigade in the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to which the host Government consented at the explicit request ofa regional body, is a good example. Secondly, the quantitative expansion of peacekeeping operations should be balanced with the focused prioritization of mandates and the streamlining of staff. Clear, credible and achievable mandates enable missions to achieve their goals. The possible overlapping of roles of peacekeeping civilian components, the United Nations country team and other development partners should be avoided.”

22. “The Republic of Korea, which accomplished post- war State reconstruction with the full support of the United Nations, attaches great importance to all United Nations peace efforts and has actively participated in peacekeeping operations as a troop-contributing country. Today, I would like to share some of our thoughts on how to achieve the proper balance between peacekeeping principles and the new demands. First, regional and subregional ownership is crucial for peacekeeping operations to carry out robust mandates. In reality, impartiality does not guarantee the safety of peacekeepers and sometimes triggers anti-United Nations sentiments. The key in that regard is the clear and broad support given to a peacekeeping mission.”

23. “The Republic of Korea sincerely appreciates the initiative of the Russian presidency to organize today's open debate on new trends in peacekeeping operations. We are also grateful to the Secretary-General for his participation and insightful briefing. Peacekeeping operations remain an essential tool for the Security Council to fulfil its responsibility to maintain international peace and security. However peacekeeping missions increasingly face diversified threats and multifaceted challenges. They are now evolving to better meet the new demands, including where there is no peace to keep, as described by the Secretary- General. It is therefore incumbent on the Council to seek prudent and realistic strategies to qualitatively upgrade United Nations peacekeeping operations.”

25. “We would like to stress the importance of speedy completion by quoting the legal maxim: "Justice delayed is justice denied". We would also like to reiterate the importance of the residual work, such as the nine fugitive cases, contempt and false testimony cases, victims and witness protection and record archiving. To fulfil those mandates, mutual assistance and international cooperation are crucial. We also support resolution 2150 (2014), which calls upon all States to cooperate with the Mechanism in the arrest and prosecution of the remaining fugitives. In transitioning to the Mechanism, we believe that the Presidents and the Registrars need to focus on the staff's sustainability. The rich legacy of those international criminaljustice bodies has to be preserved for prosperity.”

26. “I would like to thank the Russian presidency for holding this important meeting. I would like to also thank the Presidents and Prosecutors of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals for their respective briefings. The Republic of Korea appreciates and supports the efforts of the ICTY and the ICTR and the smooth transitioning activities of the Mechanism. We note that, as of now, 161 cases have been handled by the ICTY and 93 by the ICTR. We encourage the correct understanding of ensuring due process and fairness in prosecutions and trials. However, in some cases it has taken longer than expected for the defendant to be indicted and judged, such as in the Mladie and Butare cases.”

There will always be differences within the Council, but I am sure that it is our shared commitment that drives the Council and holds it together. Now, as my delegation passes the baton, I wish every success to Ambassador Vitaly Churkin of the Russian Federation and his delegation as they assume the presidency for the month of June. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The meeting rose at 5pm.”

My special thanks also go to all the United Nations Members represented here today As this is the last formal meeting of the Republic of Korea's presidency of the Security Council for the month of May, I take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all Council members for their commitment to advancing the work of the Council and for their cooperation with the presidency.

In that regard we welcome President-elect Petro Poroshenko's announced plan to visit the eastern regions and to pursue cooperative solutions with all sides. In addition, the series of round tables as part of the national dialogue is also a welcome development. We believe it is essential to any sustainable solution to the crisis.”

Lastly, we encourage the Kosovo authorities to promote the protection of minorities. In particular, further emphasis should be given to facilitating the safe and voluntary return of internally displaced persons. The strategy for the reintegration of repatriated person for 2014-2018 is a positive development in this regard.

We believe that such incidents illustrate the need to strengthen the credibility of the justice system. In this regard, we stress the importance of the work of EULEX in consolidating the rule of law in Kosovo's institutions.”
