  1. “The call by the Secretary-General through a New Agenda for Peace for robust regional frameworks and organizations ought to be supported and advanced. Malaysia will continue to contribute and participate actively in regional efforts to strengthen dialogue and cooperation in the maintenance of peace and security.”

  2. “Malaysia in that regard will continue to work closely and constructively with fellow ASEAN member States and the Council in efforts to achieve a peaceful and sustainable solution to the Myanmar political crisis. In that connection, we stress the need for a full and effective implementation of the five-point consensus. We also recognize the tireless effort by the OIC in its solidarity to address the dire situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. We endorse the final communiqué of the open-ended emergency extraordinary meeting of the OIC Executive Committee, held on 18 October 2023, on finding ways for the Palestinian people to attain their inalienable right to self-determination, in an independent and sovereign State of Palestine.”

  3. “Malaysia is convinced that a strengthened cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations is indispensable for the maintenance of international peace and security. The active involvement of regional and subregional organizations as reliable partners of the United Nations is crucial in delivering the Organization’s mandate. Malaysia welcomes in particular the continued cooperation between the United Nations and other organizations, particularly the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), of which Malaysia is a member. Myanmar remains one of the most challenging issues confronting our region. In that regard, Malaysia welcomes landmark resolution 2669 (2022) on the situation in Myanmar, adopted by the Security Council on 21 December 2022.”

  4. “As a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Malaysia regards the role of ASEAN in promoting peace, security and stability in the region as crucial. ASEAN was established in 1967, and ASEAN solidarity is built on mutual understanding, trust and confidence among its members. We share the same goal: to live in peace with one another and with the world at large in a just, democratic and harmonious environment, as clearly envisaged in the ASEAN Political-Security Community blueprint. To that end, the spirit of negotiation and mediation, based on our own ASEAN values, remains the bedrock of ASEAN’s dispute resolution system, firmly guided by the ASEAN Charter.”

  5. “Against that background, conflict prevention and peaceful resolution are imperative. Malaysia is committed to the pacific settlement of disputes through peaceful means, firmly advocated in Chapter VI of the Charter of the United Nations. Sustaining peace is a collective effort that requires the active involvement of all relevant actors. Towards that aspiration, the role of regional and subregional organizations is vital. In fact, many regional and subregional organizations have long histories of engagement in conflict prevention and mediation, peacekeeping and peacebuilding, which accord them useful insights and mechanisms to facilitate constructive dialogue and concrete cooperation.”

  6. “Malaysia thanks Brazil, President of the Council, for organizing today’s open debate, and the briefers for their valuable insights. Our delegation aligns itself with the statement delivered by Indonesia on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Today’s topic on the contribution of regional, subregional and bilateral arrangements to the prevention and peaceful resolution of disputes is of utmost importance and relevance to what the world is facing today. Prolonged conflicts around the world have long cast a shadow over global peace, with disastrous spillover effects that continue to threaten international peace and security. These conflicts unfortunately devastate lives, weaken institutions, disrupt economies and fuel further instability. The detrimental impacts of conflicts often persist for many years.”

  7. “It should not give in to certain interests and trends. If the Security Council acts appropriately, it will be embarking upon the path towards the establishment of a new international order and be distancing itself from its policy of double standards. If the Security Council is to be more than a debating society for adopting ineffectual measures and accepting faits accomplis, it must take the initiative. The issue of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a very important test, an opportunity not to be wasted. We hope that the draft resolution before us today will be adopted as a first step in a comprehensive plan to achieve a just solution to this issue.”

  8. “This may be the last opportunity for the Security Council to regain the initiative, to adopt whatever measures are necessary to preserve the integrity of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and to enable it to establish and maintain peace and security in that region while protecting its people in all its religious and ethnic diversity. In this regard, I should like to recall that, pursuant to Article 24 of the Charter, in carrying out its duties the Security Council acts on behalf of the Members of the United Nations. This means that the Security Council's actions should reflect the views of the international community, not those of certain Powers. When the Security Council fulfils its responsibilities, it should be fully aware of the principles and objectives of the United Nations and pay the utmost deference to legitimacy.”

  9. “If the right of self-defence in this situation cannot be exercised, the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina will be a victim of the total disregard of international law and the resolutions of the Security Council. That people should be the first to be able to act under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. It should be given priority. It should be listened to. It should be supported and assisted in the exercise of its right of self-defence against massacres, "ethnic cleansing", the systematic rape of its women, the displacement of its children, the destruction of its places of worship and its homes, and the transformation of the rest of its territory into one great prison in which prisoners and refugees suffer from hunger and exposure.”

  10. “The present situation of this people is like that of a person who has been thrown into the water with his hands tied and then told to be sure not to get wet. Resolution 713 (1991) deprived this people of its right to self-defence. We do not believe that lifting the arms embargo against the Government of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina will escalate the violence of the situation, as some contend. This is a very strange argument made while the massacres continue every day. The lifting of the arms embargo and the adoption of military measures to remove materiel are still options in the present circumstances to deal with the crisis and provide a climate favourable to the adoption of the peace plan. That is stated in the letter from the non-aligned States to the Security Council dated 14 May 1993.”

  11. “Does that Member not deserve our confirmation of its sovereignty? Does it not deserve our recognition of its territorial integrity, its political independence, its right to peace and security? The draft resolution also calls for making available to that people all the means necessary for defending itself - a natural right enshrined in Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, and recognized by all norms of law and religion. The draft resolution calls for exempting the Government of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the arms embargo imposed on it by resolution 713 (1991), to enable it to defend itself. That is called for only to rectify a wrong done to a defenceless people, making it the target of aggression by the use of all kinds of weapons.”

  12. “It is submitted also in the context of the strong doubts that have been expressed about the possibility of reaching a just settlement that would preserve the life and dignity of that people and a State that we all welcomed to the United Nations. This draft resolution does not contain any extraneous elements. It does not contradict the Charter of the United Nations. It reaffirms the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It calls for the immediate cessation of acts of aggression against the territory of that State and for the removal of the consequences of such aggression. If our intentions are good, we cannot but agree with all that. We welcomed the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a Member of the United Nations.”

  13. “This letter reflects the views and concerns of the non-aligned caucus regarding the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The call by the caucus for the holding of this meeting and its initiative in submitting a draft resolution is a further element in these Sincere efforts. The draft resolution in document S/25997, submitted by the non-aligned caucus, is the result of the painful frustration and disappointment felt at the inability to put an end to the tragedy of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina; it has emerged from the feeling that everyone has abandoned that people's just cause. This draft resolution is submitted in the framework of a situation of hesitation and of the failure of various projects, plans and resolutions to stop the continuing deterioration of the political and humanitarian situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

  14. “Mr. OMAR (Libyan Arab Jamahiriya)(interpretation from Arabic): I should like to congratulate you, Sir, on your presidency of the Security Council during this month. I wish also to commend your predecessor, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation, for his efforts during his presidency of the Council last month. Before I make my statement, I wish to express support for the statement made by the Ambassador of Jordan on behalf of the Arab Group and that made by the Ambassador of Indonesia on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. I should like also to commend the non-aligned caucus in the Security Council for its tireless efforts with regard to the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We noted with appreciation the letter (S/25782) dated 14 May 1993 addressed to the President of the Security Council.”
